JUST THE BEGINNING OF ELECTION YEAR LIES FROM THE LEFT

This is a tactic we are seeing from the Democrats because it's election year.  Recycling old news.  Since Newt Gingrich has a chance at winning the Republican nomination, the Democrats are bringing up his past marital troubles.  Interestingly enough, that disqualifies Gingrich from being President, but not Bill Clinton.  One more prime example of the left wingnuts' double standard.  Excuse me, since I said something negative about a Democrat, albeit the truth, that's "hate speech."  What the Democrats are doing, "free speech".  Okay, I have it straight now.

Anyway, REPRESENTATIVE DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ (her Facebook page HERE), chairman of the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE, is recycling old accusations.  Representative Schultz, on January 11, 2012, blamed the Tea Party movement for the shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords last year by nut-job Jared Lee Loughner last year.  Apparently she turned a blind eye, as the left routinely does, to the facts about Loughner that came out later.  He has no political affiliation whatsoever.  His best friend Zach Osler, said, "(Loughner) did not watch TV; he disliked the news; he didn't listen to political radio; he didn't take sides; he wasn't on the Left; he wasn't on the Right." (SOURCE: I know Wikipedia can be a flawed source, but this entry is well source and footnoted.  That's why I used it this time).  Loughner is an atheist.  Loughner's list of favorite books ranged from Mein Kampf to the Communist Manifesto.  Loughner is drawn to unorthodox political ideologies, but due to his mental problems, is not able to "reasonably sustain any of them" (SOURCE).  Loughner is a diagnosed schizophrenic (SOURCE).

Following is a video so you can hear for yourself what she said:

There's a couple of things to remember here.  The majority of the "lack of civility" she refers to have actually been liberals attending town hall meetings and Tea Party events, posing as Tea Party members.  I have posted several times in this blog documenting these leftist tactics. 

If we want to talk about a "lack of civility", let's talk about the Occupy movement and compare it with the Tea Party.  The number of Occupy arrests as of October 31, 2011 according to the DAILY KOS was approaching 3,000.  Others claim as many 5,535 as of December 12, 2011 (SOURCE).  There have been many incidents of vandalism, thefts, sexual assaults, you name it.  But, it seems all of that is OK.  Tea Party arrests? Can't find any.  

I don't think, though, you will hear Representative Wasserman-Schultz or any other leftists making such comparisons.  As we get closer to this fall's Presidential election, look for the attacks from the left to get much uglier and dirtier.

GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

If you've been following my journal for any length of time, you know that I have very strong political convictions and opinions. You also know that I source the material presented as facts to document their validity. There is no question of the values and morals for which I stand.

But there is one very important bottom line . . . regardless of which candidate you support, I believe one of the most important freedoms we enjoy is the freedom to choose our leaders. There are so many in this world who do not have that privilege. I've personally heard immigrants from some of these countries say the same thing: "You mean you can vote, and you don't?" Wow. What an indictment of American apathy. It sickens me when the turnout statistics are released and more Americans did not vote than did. Is it any wonder Washington is in the mess it's in???? "There's no one to vote for" is an excuse I hear often. There's always someone you for whom you can vote. Anyone who can think for themselves will not agree 100% with any given candidate. I know I don't!!! But, you can find a candidate whose values and those of his/her party platform most closely align with your values and beliefs. The important thing is to vote. If we don't use it, we'll lose it. We may not think that can ever happen here, because after all, this is America. There are so many freedoms that we've lost in our lifetime alone that we never thought we would lose, because after all, this is America.

"But I'm only one vote . . . it doesn't matter." There are many, many elections that have been decided by one vote, fifty votes, one hundred votes. What if 500,000 Americans did not vote because they are only one person. This is not "what if". There ARE 500,000 Americans that don't vote because they are "only one vote." Half a million votes can decide a lot of things.

Not voting allows a small number of people to dictate who governs the rest of us.

This is the most critical Presidential election I've seen in my lifetime for many reasons. It's more important than ever that we all get out and exercise this valuable right and freedom. There's been too much blood shed and too much suffering right here on our soil for the right to vote to sit at home. There's too many sacrifices made by our military personnel, past and present, around the world to ensure that we keep our right to vote. Don't make it all in vain - VOTE!
