ATP ‘phone bombs’ three Loudoun supervisors before Chesapeake Bay vote

ATP ‘phone bombs’ three Loudoun supervisors before Chesapeake Bay vote
Citizen-powered grassroots group warns 20,000 residents of bigger government, fewer jobs, higher taxes, loss of homeowner rights under Chesapeake Bay Tax and Control Plan

The nation’s largest grassroots opponent of radical environmentalism began calling around 10,000 Loudoun residents Saturday, warning them of a possible Tuesday vote on the Chesapeake Bay Tax and Control plan and asking them to call their supervisor to express opposition.  The grassroots-funded group also sent e-mail alerts on Friday.

Residents in Supervisor Jim Burton’s new district were urged to call their supervisor at home.  Residents in the Supervisors Kelly Burk and Andrea McGimsey’s new districts were urged to call their supervisor on their cell phone.

“We just thought we would be the first to introduce Loudoun residents to their new supervisors, by letting them know their supervisor may vote to raise their taxes and control their home” said Donny Ferguson, American Tradition Partnership’s Executive Director.  “Loudoun residents urge their supervisors to vote no on the Chesapeake Bay Tax and Control Plan.”
“Loudoun supervisors are putting their heads into a buzzsaw.  The overwhelming majority of people oppose this radical scheme to raise taxes, kill jobs and slap government handcuffs on homes and businesses,” said Ferguson.

American Tradition Partnership will hold accountable any supervisor who votes for this plan, as well as any candidate who supports it,” said Ferguson.

“Millionaire social clubs like the PEC represent the multi-million dollar special interest groups, but American Tradition Partnership is supported by and speaks for real Americans,” said Ferguson.  American Tradition Partnership wins time and time again because the people are on our side, something elected officials should keep in mind.”

Supported by contributions from its grassroots supporters, American Tradition Partnership has earned its reputation as the nation’s most effective opponent of the multi-million dollar radical environmentalist lobby.  In just the last few months ATP has:

* Killed Barack Obama’s “Cap and Tax” bill in Congress.
* Successfully pushed to have the invasive gray wolf taken off the so-called “Endangered Species List” so it can be hunted down.
* Filed a federal lawsuit against Colorado to repeal the state’s Expensive Energy Mandate, which forces consumers to buy more expensive wind and solar power against their will.
* Filed a lawsuit against Montana to stop their ongoing harassment and false smear campaigns against conservative groups, which has already been blasted by federal courts as “petty bureaucratic harassment.”  Montana officials have openly admitted they have no evidence conservative groups have done any wrong and every district attorney has refused to even look into the politically-motivated accusations.
* Won national headlines along with our federal free speech lawsuit against Montana which allows small employers to spend money on independent political expenditures.
* Won a federal free speech lawsuit against a liberal Colorado city who passed a law requiring residents to essentially get permission from the government before saying or publishing anything critical of the liberal city council.
* Stopped a plan by liberals in the U.S. Senate to protect the EPA’s plans to declare carbon dioxide a toxic pollutant.
* Passed legislation in Montana endorsing nullification of the so-called “Endangered Species Act.”
* Launched a campaign to repeal New Hampshire’s participation in the “Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative,” a northeastern U.S. “global warming” tax cartel
* Launched and now pushing nationwide a growing campaign to secure a recorded vote on Sen. Rand Paul’s REINS Act, which strips the EPA of its authority to issue its own major regulations.

Mr. Ferguson's Rules

Always carry several one and five dollar bills.  You may never know when you will need to tip a driver, attendant, maitre d' or (frequently in my case) a bartender whose services you unexpectedly require.

Just who's raking in obscene cash on gas? Barack Obama

Fun Fact: Oil companies only make two cents per gallon of gas.  Obama's federal government pockets 18.4 cents in federal gas taxes.  

In all, government makes around 48 cents on every gallon of gas sold, 24 times more than the oil companies. 

Who's the greedy profiteer now?

Wasserman Schultz guns down her own party

Debbie Wasserman Schultz was only on the job as DNC boss for a few days before she set out to destroy the party.

"The new head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is pushing for screenings of all gun purchases," The Hill reports.


The kicker?  She openly admitted in the announcement press conference the bill won't eliminate gun crime.  She just gutterally hates the fact Americans can do something for themselves, in this case protection from crime, instead of waiting on the sainted government to provide it.

I encourage her to push this issue as hard as she can.  I guess she doesn't remember how Clinton's ant-gun radicalism annihilated Democrats in 1994 -- and the mainstream's opposition to gun grabs has grown only stronger since.

Everytime you Tweet or share this by clicking below, another anti-gun radical is mugged in a "gun-free zone."

Obama's biggest allies? Birthers.

Orly Taitz is Level 8 insane.

The first three digits of a Social Security Numbers refer to state on the return address on the application, not what state you are born in. If it were the state, native Moldovan Orly Taitz herself wouldn't have a Social Security Number.

In this case, the application was sent to a SSA office in Connecticut, where his father used to live.

Do these people realize Obama is simply exploiting and using them, having them discredit all his opposition by focusing on an utterly insane, fictional non-issue?  Birthers are Obama's biggest ally in his re-election campaign.

TSA predators single out Miss USA for impromptu cavity search

Obama's Transportation Security Agency predators in Dallas see former Miss USA in security line, and single her out for invasive body search of her genitalia. 

It's beyond time for Texas to begin registering TSA agents as sex offenders. Texas needs a governor who station Rangers at Texas airports to haul off any TSA goon who touches a passenger.

Restoring the valued customer-business relationship

I received the letter today I asked for from Verizon verifying I canceled their service for poor performance, they owe me credits and I owe them nothing. 

Cable companies, if you're going to try to cheat someone don't try cheating one of the few people even nastier and more nit-picky than a cable company. 

Sprint gave up trying to slip stuff in my bills and my bank calls me periodically just to see how I'm doing.

Too many companies seem to forget the customer-business relationship should be one of fair, honest exchange and instead try to see how much they can get away with, assuming the customer isn't the type who likes confrontation.

Unfortunately for Verizon, that does not work when said customer places a priority on fair, honest exchange and feeds off confrontation like that pink goo in "Ghostbusters 2."

Does Obama roll the dice on abortion in 2012?

So, I'm looking at the 2012 calendar trying to pick the date Obama goes all-out on abortion.

He won in 2012 by closing the Democrat's historical gap with white voters, but now it's back down to where it usually is -- except among white women with college degrees, where he's at 56 percent.  He's going to need a MONSTER turnout among that demo to win, which means Democrats will have to employ some serious smear-and-fear tactics.

I mean, telling women (Insert name of Republican nominee) will put a spy camera in your uterus.  Think that's silly?  They're already telling women there's a secret Republican plan to arrest and jail them if they have an abortion and don't report it on their taxes.

The catch, beside the obvious and usual backlash? 

A majority of young voters are now pro-life, with 58 percent saying it is "morally wrong"  Fifty-one percent of them consider it a "very important," while only twenty-six percent of pro-abortion young feel the same of their opinion, which means Obama begins losing the youth vote if he pushes the abortion.

Obama also risks eroding his overall support among women.  Despite the propaganda of the pro-abortion industry, the fact is not only are Americans more likely to be pro-life than pro-"choice," women are more pro-life than men. 

And while women are more pro-life than men, white women without a college degree gave 41 percent of their vote to Obama in 2008, which helped him close the Democrats' traditional gap with working-class whites.  They are also among the women most likely to be pro-life.  Right now their support for Obama has slipped to 38 percent.  Any move by Obama to push abortion further erodes that number.

If Obama heads into late 2012 with the same numbers he's facing now, he has to make a decision.  Does he play it safe on abortion and hope he doesn't lose enough youth and overall female voters, or does he abandon the youth vote and risk eroding his overall female support by going all-out on the abortion scare tactics, hoping it will drive turnout among college-educated females in large enough numbers to not only overcome the backlash, but nudge his total white vote upwards enough to push him over the finish line?

Archbishop advocates conscripting 'the rich' into forced labor

"The rich and powerful should be required by law to spend some time every year helping the poor and needy, says the Archbishop of Canterbury," the Daily Mail reports today.


While I certainly appreciate His Grace's intentions, where in the Bible did Christ advocate the use of force to impose His teaching?  Where in the Bible did Christ go to Rome to lobby the Senate to enforce His teachings?  The Bible is filled with warnings to men to avoid the lure of State power.

"Because the duty to serve would be compulsory, those involved would not be able to claim credit for doing it, he added," the Mail also reports.

True, but if it's compulsory, then it's not God's will -- it's the State's.  That's why He did not send Christ to Earth as a king.  It is also rather ironic, given the fact one of the Bible's great villains is a head of state who conscripted God's people into forced labor.

His Grace also overlooks an important historical fact.  In Christ's time wealth was not mobile.  Men did not become rich by finding ways to be of use and benefit to their fellow man. The rich of Christ's time got rich by either being of use to the State, or being born into the State.  Wealth was not earned, it was a barometer of political power.

As His Grace notes, such a law dates back to the time of monarchs, people who amassed their wealth through the power of the State.  The relationship between the "rich" and the "poor" at that time was not one of voluntary, mutually-agreed upon exchange.  The law was largely an attempt by "the rich" of that time to use an empty display of one-time subservience to mollify "the poor" who, in a world where wealth was fixed and not earned, had no recourse other than the axe.

But the money of today, which His Grace seems to speak of disparagingly, has transformed our world into a more peaceful place.

The "rich" His Grace speaks of today earned their wealth by providing jobs, homes, goods, medical care and a standard of living inconceivable in Christ's time.  If "the poor" feel they are being mistreated by a member of "the rich," they simply take their business to someone else.

If you think "the rich" should do more to help "the poor," keep in mind that in a modern, capitalist, free market economy, money is a tool of voluntary exchange that changes hands when someone feels someone else provides a good of service worthy of that exchange. 

In such an economy, both parties benefit.  In fact this free market of voluntary exchange, of which money is the agreed-upon unit of measure, allows the poor to become rich and the rich to become poor.  This phenomenon of social mobility was inconceivable in the world of State control that existed in the first century.

In the first century and into medieval England wealth was the spoils of political power.  In our world, wealth is an one of the indicators of your value to your fellow man in a voluntary free market. 

So, who has done more to help the poor?  The bureaucrat who would run the compulsory work program serving dinners at a school, or the millionaire who became a millionaire by finding a way to manufacture enough of that food for everyone?

Yes, most of them will not be doing it out of a sense of responsibility to their Christian duties, but by advocating the use of State force to achieve the outward appearance of Christian charity, rather than inspiring to care for their neighbor out of a genuine Christian love, His Grace has already admitted motives are irrelevant.  And improving the life of your fellow man by making his food more affordable only to earn a profit for yourself is still more peaceful and better for the poor than a world where the State rounds up the wealthy and influential and forces them under threat of arrest to ladle out soup.

Want to see "the rich" do more to improve the lives of "the poor?"  Get out of their way and allow them to use their God-given mind to continue to create, innovate and produce.

Obama predicts Americans 'will feel that I deserve a second term'

"I think that in the debates that take place over the next 18 months the American people will feel that I deserve a second term," President Barack Obama tells The Associated Press in an interview published this afternoon.

He has some work to do.

None other than National Public Radio reported Wednesday, "In recent months, a number of national surveys have posed similar versions of the question: Do you think Barack Obama has done well enough to deserve reelection, or would the country be better off with someone else? The 'well enoughs' average about 43 percent; the "someone elses" 49 percent."

Government school unions' 'State of Emergency' plan calls for stalking, threats, riot tactics

Faced with the possibility taxpayer spending may not grow as fast as they want it to, government school union bosses have embraced goon squad tactics in a plan to create what they call a "State of Emergency."

In this document created by the California Teachers Association, teachers are instructed to involve children in protests employing coffins and "homeless shelters," giving children the impression their teacher will become homeless or die if taxpayer spending is slowed down.

But they don't stop at telling children their teacher will be homeless unless mommy and daddy agree to tax hikes.  The government school union turns the goon meter to 11, instructing teachers to:

* "Target the businesses of legislators in their home districts."
* "Create a “Bad Legislators” list and post it in multiple locations." (DF notes: That's one of the tactics that lead to death threats against pro-taxpayer legislators in Wisconsin.)
* "Picket/rally in front of legislators’ offices/homes."
* "Follow targeted legislators for the entire day."
* "Publish a list of companies that are not paying their fair share of taxes.  Send letters to these companies and the media and picket their offices. Withdraw funds from banks that are not paying their fair share. (DF notes: The CTA never defines what a "fair share" is.  It is also pays no taxes whatsoever.)
* "Attempt to close a major artery into town/cities." (DF notes: That's a riot tactic commonly employed by violent anarchist groups.)

Do you want your children taught by people who teach them stalking, threats and bullying are legitimate tools of political discourse?

Rand cites 1937 Rand novel about banning incandescent bulbs. Senate votes to stay in the dark.

"For Sen. Rand Paul, legislation setting new efficiency standards for appliances evokes the nightmare future Ayn Rand warned us all about," POLITICO reports this afternoon.

"Paul offered an amendment to remove the appliance bill’s enforcement authority, but first he turned his attention to Rand’s 1937 novel 'Anthem'...'Over time, he discovers the subway and rediscovered the incandescent light bulb,' he said. Paul described how the novel’s character then takes the light bulb to a leadership council and 'they take the light bulb and, basically, it’s crushed beneath the boot heel of the collective,," POLITICO reports.

Predictably, senators voted to keep Americans in the dark.  The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee voted 16-6 against his amendment to make efficiency standards voluntary.  Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) was one of the Republicans to vote against the lightbulb.

Norman LeBoon, and those who cry 'arrest my political opponents for...something'

The same liberals who demanded Sarah Palin be arrested for inciting violence seem to be silent about the conviction of Norman LeBoon, a Philadelphia man who posted an online video in which he threatened to kill Rep. Eric Cantor.

LeBoon donated to Barack Obama after Obama traveled to Phildelphia and told local Dems assembled at a June 14, 2008 rally "If they (Republicans) bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun...Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl."

Six days later LeBoon donated $250 to Obama, followed by a $255 contribution the next day.

Did Obama incite LeBoon to violence?

No.  Obama is in no way responsible or related.  Additionally free speech is unalienable in this country, a protection from government aggression with its roots in political expression.

But the connection is notable, as liberals exploited the tragic shooting of Rep. Danielle Giffords to demand those with differing political opinions be rounded up and arrested.  They could at least be intellectually honest and consistent.

Wash. Post writer claims taxpayer-funded abortions provide important service -- exterminating the poor

Lori Ziganto at RedState points us to a shameful, disgusting article in The Washington Post by Ezra Klein, in which Klein actually claims a government program of eugenics against the poor is of compelling national interest.

In a tirade defending taxpayer-funded abortion liberal Klein writes:


Yes, the same liberals who claim on Election Day to be compassionate advocates of the poor publicly write in national papers the government should support a national program focusing on exterminating the poor.

And who are primarily the "people without the means to care for their children?"  An audit of New York's clinics, for example, finds 49.8 percent are black.  Other pro-aborts have dropped the euphemisms entirely and openly (and falsely) credited the long-term decline seen in violent crime to Planned Parenthood's strategy of focusing on performing abortions in inner cities.

So, Klein believes the federal government should engage in a campaign of targeted eugenics against people who consume lots of services. 

Keep that in mind next time Klein writes government-run health care in the United States won't do what it does in every other country -- terminate care to demographic populations who consume a lot of health care (usually the elderly and minorities,) threatening access to care for larger numbers of voters.

Pelosi blows off budget negotiations to deliver a speech. About herself.

For some Democrats, keeping the government spending pipeline gushing was so important they were willing to go on national television and claim millions of seniors, children and women would die in the streets if non-essential government workers had to turn in their BlackBerrys during a temporary paid furlough.

But former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had to focus all her attention on a far more important issue.

Pelosi skipped town Friday and blew off budget negotiations so as not to distract her from the momentous task of flying to Boston to give a speech. 

About herself.

Solomont Lecture at Tufts University today.  The California Democrat, who served as the first female speaker of the House, planned to reflect on her career and the importance of public service during a 2 p.m. address in the school's Cohen Auditorium," The Boston Globe reports.

Liberals 'get bloody' for Wisconsin, Part 13: SEIU thugs pounce on Wash. state troopers

Once again, liberalism makes itself synonymous with animalistic violence.

SEIU thugs, the same group who had several members arrested for savagely stomping down black conservative activist in St. Louis while hurling racist slurs at him, smash their way through the Washington state capitol on their way to invade the governor's office.

Stopped at the door by state troopers, the SEIU thugs begin screaming like animals, hoping to intimidate the troopers.  Finally, they begin trying to bulldoze over the troopers and eventually physically assault them.  Thirteen were arrested.

The intended message is clear.  Unions consider assault, invasion, violence and intimidation to be legitimate tools of political discourse.

It's also the latest in a new wave of instances where union bosses have people smash their way into state capitols where they intimidate and assault citizens and officers.  Said union bosses then tell officials they can make the problem go away if they get some money.

Remember back when that was called "racketeering?"  I guess they don't prosecute because purple and yellow clash with blaze orange.

National Tartan Day and the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath

I was so buried in work all day and evening yesterday I didn't even notice the highlighted notice on my calendar it was National Tartan Day, a celebration of our national Scottish heritage coinciding with the annual anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath.

Not familiar with the Declaration of Arbroath?  An appeal from Scottish noblemen to the Pope signed on April 6, 1320, asking him to intervene on their behalf in their war against England, it is one of the first declarations that the rights of the individual exist and trump any supposed "rights" of the state.

In other words, Scotland's Declaration of Arbroath is the birth mother of our own Declaration of Independence, and the very concept of individual sovereignty.

Like your freedom?  Thank a Scot.

Here is the text of the Declaration translated from the original Latin.

The Declaration of Arbroath; April 6, 1320







Obama said stimulus would keep unemployment below 8 percent.  It turned out to be 10 percent.  Obama said his deficit would be $7.2 trillion.  It turned out to be $9.5 trillion.  Obama said we'll be in Libya for just "days."  Now he says "maybe years."  I guess he's angling for the mechanic vote.

Alec Baldwin: Financial crisis means Obama isn't ‘doing any new spending’

You may remember Baldwin as the actor who launched the successful 'Shadow' franchise.
Alec Baldwin, star of such films as "Pearl Harbor," "Mercury Rising" and "The Adventures of Pluto Nash,"  tells CNS News the poor economy under Barack Obama has prevented the president from increasing spending.

"(W)hat’s crippled Obama's administration, as far as I’m concerned, is the financial crisis and it’s prevented him from doing any new spending," said Baldwin in a Capitol Hill interview.

Apparently no one's told Obama.
