Alright, time to go George Patton on these idiots. But first the story:
8:42 p.m. | Updated SALT LAKE CITY – Mitt Romney’s traveling press secretary walked to the back of the candidate’s plane midflight on Tuesday and teasingly asked a pair of journalists in an exit row if they were “willing and able to assist in case of an emergency.”
Under the circumstances, it was hard to tell whether it was a question or a request.
A palpably gloomy and openly frustrated mood has begun to creep into Mr. Romney’s campaign for president. Well practiced in the art of lurching from public relations crisis to public relations crisis, his team seemed to reach its limit as it digested a ubiquitous set of video clips that showed their boss candidly describing nearly half of the country’s population as government-dependent “victims,” and saying that he would “kick the ball down the road” on the biggest foreign policy challenge of the past few decades, the Palestinian-Israeli peace process.
Grim-faced aides acknowledged that it was an unusually dark moment, made worse by the self-inflicted, seemingly avoidable nature of the wound. In low-volume, out-of-the-way conversations, a few of them are now wondering whether victory is still possible and whether they are entering McCain-Palin ticket territory.
It may prove a fleeting anxiety: national polls show the race remains close, even though Mr. Romney trails in some key swing states.
Still, a flustered adviser, describing the mood, said that the campaign was turning into a vulgar, unprintable phrase.

Okay now; Gentleman, your attention please. Now, listen. You did not think that this election was going to be handed to you on some sort of golden platter did you? Nothing is won, without some sort of a fight. The Democrats are just not going to let you walk all over them and hand the election to you. Oh heck no….. They are going to do everything in their power to hold on to that office of President. It is the only thing they have left.
I give you the words, of General Patton:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b5g1avyCSA&hd=1
Gentlemen of the campaign to elect Governor Mitt Romney to President of the United States — this is war, it is war for the soul of America. This is no place, for sidewalk sissies, for pussies who are scared to fight for America. While you are not fighting against the Japanese or Nazi’s. You are fighting against those, who want to change the face of America around the world. As Americans, we cannot allow this to happen. We have a mission and it is about damned time, that you fools who are being paid to put Governor Romney in the White House, to start earning your money that you are paid.
It is at the point, where the Romney campaign is at “do or die.” This is no place to start giving up, this is the stage where we start fighting like hell. The other side knows this and is now really starting to fight. We know who our friends are and it is not the establishment. Therefore, we must fight this battle ourselves. We cannot allow the other side to define us; if we do we will lose this battle and I mean badly. We must fight with what we have; and that is the facts. The truth is on our side and we can win this; if we fight this battle properly.
The media, outside of maybe Fox News Channel and other smaller Conservative outlets — is not our friend and we should not try to pretend otherwise. They are not reliable, they are not to be trusted, and they should only told and given; what they really need to know. The Blogging world is, for the most part, against us. Even some blogs, that call themselves Conservative; are not on our side at all. They too, should be treated with suspicion and distance should be kept from them.
So, in closing: To the staff of the Mitt Romney campaign, I give this request: If you are not in this battle win and I mean win big — get out now, please. The last thing we need, are people that are not interested in winning the war against the progressive liberal left. The last thing we need, are people that will fold like a deck of cards in the face of the liberal elite, and the liberal controlled media.
Gentleman, this is war and if you are not in it, to win it — then leave and let those who want to win, work for that campaign. We have too much at stake here in this election and losing, is just not an option.
God Bless America.
Update: Blogs4Mitt Links in. Thanks Rusty!
So sad to get news like this:
Two people were killed and 12 others injured Sunday morning when a van carrying youth from Cedar Grove Baptist Church in Maryville, Tenn., collided head-on with an SUV while returning from a weekend retreat in Gatlinburg.
The driver of the van, Jeff Trussell, and teenager Courteney Kaliszewski were killed. Ten passengers ranging from middle school to college age were transported to the University of Tennessee Medical Center. Two of those were transferred to Children’s Hospital. According to local media, at least two Lifestar helicopters and three ambulances transported the victims.
The driver of the SUV, 21-year-old Tyler J. Schaeffer of Seymour, Tenn., crossed the center line of Chapman Highway in Sevier County and struck the van head on, causing it to catch fire. Strangers stopped to help rescue passengers in the church van and offer aid until emergency vehicles arrived.

Here we go again, a follow-up to the earlier nothing-burger that the liberals seem to believe will destroy Mitt Romney. Here comes another nothing-burger.
Via liberal rag Mother Jones:
On the Middle East Conflict:
Quote:
I’m torn by two perspectives in this regard. One is the one which I’ve had for some time, which is that the Palestinians have no interest whatsoever in establishing peace, and that the pathway to peace is almost unthinkable to accomplish. Now why do I say that? Some might say, well, let’s let the Palestinians have the West Bank, and have security, and set up a separate nation for the Palestinians. And then come a couple of thorny questions. And I don’t have a map here to look at the geography, but the border between Israel and the West Bank is obviously right there, right next to Tel Aviv, which is the financial capital, the industrial capital of Israel, the center of Israel. It’s—what the border would be? Maybe seven miles from Tel Aviv to what would be the West Bank…The other side of the West Bank, the other side of what would be this new Palestinian state would either be Syria at one point, or Jordan. And of course the Iranians would want to do through the West Bank exactly what they did through Lebanon, what they did near Gaza. Which is that the Iranians would want to bring missiles and armament into the West Bank and potentially threaten Israel. So Israel of course would have to say, “That can’t happen. We’ve got to keep the Iranians from bringing weaponry into the West Bank.” Well, that means that—who? The Israelis are going to patrol the border between Jordan, Syria, and this new Palestinian nation? Well, the Palestinians would say, “Uh, no way! We’re an independent country. You can’t, you know, guard our border with other Arab nations.” And now how about the airport? How about flying into this Palestinian nation? Are we gonna allow military aircraft to come in and weaponry to come in? And if not, who’s going to keep it from coming in? Well, the Israelis. Well, the Palestinians are gonna say, “We’re not an independent nation if Israel is able to come in and tell us what can land in our airport.” These are problems—these are very hard to solve, all right? And I look at the Palestinians not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel, and these thorny issues, and I say, “There’s just no way.” And so what you do is you say, “You move things along the best way you can.” You hope for some degree of stability, but you recognize that this is going to remain an unsolved problem. We live with that in China and Taiwan. All right, we have a potentially volatile situation but we sort of live with it, and we kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it. We don’t go to war to try and resolve it imminently. On the other hand, I got a call from a former secretary of state. I won’t mention which one it was, but this individual said to me, you know, I think there’s a prospect for a settlement between the Palestinians and the Israelis after the Palestinian elections. I said, “Really?” And, you know, his answer was, “Yes, I think there’s some prospect.” And I didn’t delve into it.
He is speaking the truth here. The Palestinians do NOT want a two-State solution. They want Israel pushed into the sea. They have said this a thousand times. Besides that, that land is Israel’s land, it says that in the Bible and that should be the end of the discussion; as for as this writer is concerned.
On Iraq and Nukes:
Quote:
If I were Iran, if I were Iran—a crazed fanatic, I’d say let’s get a little fissile material to Hezbollah, have them carry it to Chicago or some other place, and then if anything goes wrong, or America starts acting up, we’ll just say, “Guess what? Unless you stand down, why, we’re going to let off a dirty bomb.” I mean this is where we have—where America could be held up and blackmailed by Iran, by the mullahs, by crazy people. So we really don’t have any option but to keep Iran from having a nuclear weapon.
This is a classic foreign policy position that President himself also supports. In the case of Iran, it is totally warranted.
The president’s foreign policy, in my opinion, is formed in part by a perception he has that his magnetism, and his charm, and his persuasiveness is so compelling that he can sit down with people like Putin and Chávez and Ahmadinejad, and that they’ll find that we’re such wonderful people that they’ll go on with us, and they’ll stop doing bad things. And it’s an extraordinarily naive perception.
Again, this is true; the recent events have proven that many times over.
Once again, Mother Jones has proven itself incapable of bringing any sort of “real” dirt out on Governor Romney. The only thing that they have; is the Governor speaking honestly about President Obama, his foreign policy and Israel. Now it seems that Mother Jones is now focusing on the private life of the person that hosted the fundraiser. This very thing, ought to show you what it is, that we are dealing with here.
It is called desperation.
Update: Here’s Romney’s Presser on the subject.
If it were not for the fact that this story was so darned funny; it would actually be pretty sad.
Mother Jones the crypt keeper of all things liberal, comes up with some really super secret video of Mitt Romney telling the absolute truth about the Obama voting people.
Here are the videos:
On Obama voters:
On Treating Obama gingerly, because he does not want to lose the independent voter:
On his consultants:
On the fact that most people couldn’t give a rip about politics; that they care about bread and butter issues:
On Obama and Wall Street; and if Mitt Romney wins, Wall Street will improve:
In this idiotic article, the author makes a false claim:
(Note: Obama did not promise his policies would keep unemployment under 8 percent,and 50 percent of college graduates are not unemployed.)
Well, um, actually —- Via Washington Examiner:
Mother Jones reporter David Corn claims the line about Obama promising to get unemployment under eight percent is not true.
Corn is wrong: Two of Obama’s economic advisers released a report in January 2009 arguing that the economic stimulus bill would have unemployment under 6 percent by now.
Also too The Astute Bloggers reminds us of the following:
From the Economic Collapse Blog:
The following are 16 statistics which show that the number of Americans dependent on the government is at an all-time high….
#1 According to the Census Bureau, 49 percent of all Americans live in a home that gets direct monetary benefits from the federal government. Back in 1983, less than a third of all Americans lived in a home that received direct monetary benefits from the federal government.
#2 The amount of money that the federal government gives directly to Americans has increased by 32 percent since Barack Obama entered the White House.
#3 The number of Americans receiving Social Security disability benefits has increased by 10 percent since Barack Obama first took office.
#4 Back in 1990, the federal government accounted for 32 percent of all health care spending in America. Today, that figure is up to 45 percent and it is projected to surpass 50 percent very shortly.
#5 The number of Americans on food stamps recently hit a new all-time high. It has increased by 3 million since this time last year and by more than 14 million since Barack Obama first entered the White House.
#6 Today, one out of every seven Americans is on food stamps and one out of every four American children is on food stamps. This is unprecedented in American history.
#7 In 2010, 42 percent of all single mothers in the United States were on food stamps.
#8 Back in 1980, government transfer payments accounted for just 11.7% of all income. In 2010, government transfer payments accounted for 18.4% of all income, which was a new all-time high.
#9 By the end of 2011, approximately 55 million Americans received a total of approximately 727 billion dollars in Social Security benefits. As the retirement crisis becomes much worse, that dollar figure is projected to absolutely skyrocket.
#10 According to the Congressional Budget Office, the Social Security system paid out more in benefits than it received in payroll taxes in 2010. That was not supposed to happen until at least 2016.
#11 Back in 1965, only one out of every 50 Americans was on Medicaid. Today, one out of every 6 Americans is on Medicaid, and things are about to get a whole lot worse. It is being projected that Obamacare will add 16 million more Americans to the Medicaid rolls.
#12 The U.S. government now says that the Medicare trust fund will run out five years faster than previously anticipated.
#13 The total cost of just three federal government programs – the Department of Defense, Social Security and Medicare – exceeded the total amount of taxes brought in during fiscal 2010by 10 billion dollars.
#14 It is being projected that entitlement spending by the federal government will nearly double by the year 2050.
#15 Right now, spending by the federal government accounts for about 24 percent of GDP. Back in 2001, it accounted for just 18 percent.
#16 When you total it all up, American households are now receiving more money directly from the federal government than they are paying to the government in taxes.
So, in other words, Romney told the truth about the left and now they are having a collective (Something they do well, collectivism!) heart attack about it. Two words lefties: Oh well. Truth hurts don’t it?

Disgusting. 😡 If I had the money, I would buy the property myself; just to keep those queers out of it. This is nothing more than an attempt by these tools to extort money out of the Roman Catholic Church and make a mockery of the Christian world as a whole.
I am not a Catholic; not even close. But this sort of nonsense gets up my nose. This is nothing more than an attempt to defame the Roman Catholic Church and more broadly Christianity itself. If I were Bill Donohue, I would be all over this; in fact, I forwarded his organization the link to the video itself. Hopefully the Catholic League steps up to the plate and does its job.
It is a sign of the times; and it is not a good one either. 🙁
First off, let me say publicly that I have no beef with this man at all. I have never even met him personally. The only thing that I know about him, is what I have read and what I have seen in his videos.
However, I happen to come upon his article on CNN, where he basically comes off sounding like a self-righteous, “Holier than thou” type. Why? Because the guy got married. Again, I have no beef with anyone who decides to take that plunge. However, I have decided that at 40 years old, I just really do not want to bothered with it. I am old, set in my ways; and quite frankly, the way that they are raising women today; with this whole, “Marry him and take him for what he is worth” mentality — and yes, that includes “Church Woman” too — I think I will just pass.

Just reacting to this here.
Of course, I do not mean all of them.
Just the ones making over 250K a year in income and the ones that choose to be politically active.
Any church making less than 250K would not be taxed.
Just my idea. For the record, I am not against Church; I am against excess and greed. I am also against those who abuse the Bible; using it as a get rich scheme. I am, of course, referring to the “prosperity gospel” garbage, that is common in Pentecostal circles.
I figure, if a church is turning that kind of Cash they can afford to pay their share of taxes.
