				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Barack Hussein Obama HATES the U.S. Marines</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The picture below was taken 2 days ago and I have been too damned angry to make a post about it. Every time I tried I had to stop and just shake my head at the language I was using and the word I was using to describe Barack Hussein Obama.</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20923" alt="Obama Marines Rain" src="http://www.texasfred.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Obama-Marines-Rain.jpg" width="640" height="480" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The United States Marines are a lot of things; brave, loyal, true American Warriors that will give their lives to protect this nation and the American people. U.S. Marines know what HONOR and INTEGRITY are, they know the words, they know the tune, they walk the walk and they live the life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">They are NOT Barack Hussein Obama&#8217;s waiters, servants, butlers or valets.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Barack Hussein Obama can&#8217;t even SAY <em>United States Marine Corps</em>. The goofy, American hating SON OF A BITCH called it Marine *CORPSE* a while back. Now I have to tell you, for a man that is supposedly as learned as Barack Hussein Obama, that gaff is an INSULT to ALL who have ever worn the title of United States Marine!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">When I 1st saw the picture below I was angered, greatly, until I saw who had posted it and then read the text on the picture.</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20940" alt="Marines Iwo Umbrella" src="http://www.texasfred.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Marines-Iwo-Umbrella.jpg" width="646" height="525" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">That is indeed what Barack Hussein Obama, his lard-assed wife and most, if not ALL of his administration feel about the USMC and the American military in general.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><span id="more-20939"></span>I am one American that takes Obama to task on nearly everything he does but there is no  way I can top this from GySgt. R. Lee Ermey.</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20941" alt="Gunny Blasts Obama" src="http://www.texasfred.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Gunny-Blasts-Obama-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Barack Hussein Obama can KISS MY AMERICAN ASS!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The United States Marines will do their duty and protect this nation, but the USMC is NOT Barack Obama&#8217;s handmaidens.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Barack Hussein Obama: the BIGGEST disgrace in American history.</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20950" alt="Leader vs Ruler" src="http://www.texasfred.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Leader-vs-Ruler.jpg" width="600" height="437" /></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Obama scandals lay bare very real dangers of big government</span></strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p>When scandal rocks any administration, its partisan opponents smell blood in the water and move in to inflict as much political damage on the president as possible. <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/05/17/obama-scandals-reveal-dangers-big-government/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">SOURCE</span></a></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Well my friends, there is a good reason that we, Conservatives, seek to inflict as much political damage on the president as possible; he deserves it!<br />
</span><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20926" alt="Responsible for everything" src="http://www.texasfred.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Responsible-for-everything.jpg" width="488" height="376" /></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">America is reaping what it has sown by electing a Chicago community organizer, a thug, a wannabe thug actually, one that has no love of America in his heart, to the highest office in the land!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The saddest part of that is? The FACT that Obama gave us a fantastic view of the failure that he is during his first term in office, and some in America were so stupid, so in love with Obama that they gave him another 4 years to destroy America and to attack those that stand in direct opposition to him and his VILE regime.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">&#8216;I don’t know&#8217;, &#8216;I can’t remember&#8217;, &#8216;I wasn’t responsible&#8217;, &#8216;I didn’t do that&#8217;, &#8216;I didn’t have any idea that this was going on&#8217;, &#8216;I have no recollection of that&#8217;; THOSE are the answers that Congress is getting from Obama’s administration, the people that run this nation!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">That is totally unacceptable.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span id="more-20925"></span>The ballooning Obama scandals – IRS, HHS, DOJ, EPA – are not really about character or competence, but the danger of big government itself.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">I have to disagree with that line; this IS about character, and Obama has NO character and NO dignity, NONE! The man is a miserable Socialist, a narcissist, in all probability a Muslim and he is totally incompetent at everything he does other than his efforts to bring America down!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The author of the original piece, Sen. Mike Lee, mentions the Obama scandals – IRS, HHS, DOJ, but he left out the Fast and Furious gun running scandal and apparently didn’t see his way to mention Benghazi specifically by name.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">I am not denigrating Sen. Lee but he needs to be thorough in his writings, and yes, I know, there ARE more *scandals* involved, but those listed are the most serious and in my opinion, the most heinous.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Those are supposedly the words of Valarie Jarrett, a Senior Advisor to Barack Obama.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">First and foremost, the Democrats claim that Jarrett never said those words. Maybe she did, maybe she didn’t, but given the actions of the Obama regime since the election I have to wonder if those words are not only true but being used as the current mantra and guide for the governance exhibited by Obama and Company.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Valerie Jarrett is a Chicago lawyer, and that explains a lot. Obama was a Chicago lawyer, as was his wife and several others in the Obama regime.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The *leadership* of the Obama regime is pathetic at best, and if some of the current scandals are true and can be proven, the so-called leadership of the Obama regime is criminal as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The story above, from Sen. Lee almost seems defensive of Obama as he points out Obama’s political guru David Axelrod saying, “Part of being president is there’s so much beneath you that you can’t know because the government is so vast.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Sen. Lee, let me be blunt; being Commander in Chief means that ALL responsibility for this nation, its actions and that of YOUR administration fall into YOUR lap. Leadership has vast responsibility and if Obama can’t, or won’t accept responsibility for his actions and those of his underlings, then Barack Hussein Obama needs to be removed from his position of President of the United States.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The buck stops here. ~Harry Truman~</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Sadly, Obama would use that buck to go play another round of golf. Nero fiddled as Rome burned, Obama hits the links.</span></p>

<blockquote><p>A massive cleanup and recovery effort got under way this morning in Granbury, where at least six people were killed and dozens injured by three tornadoes, at least one of which was likely an EF-4 with sustained winds up to 200 mph.</p>
<p>&#8220;Doesn&#8217;t get much worse than that,&#8221; said Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds, who helped escort a tour of the hard-hit Rancho Brazos subdivision.</p>
<p>Deeds said Thursday morning that all of the dead were adults. Another 37 people were injured, with about 100 homes flattened, damaged or destroyed. Separate tornadoes and strong winds near Ennis and Cleburne destroyed homes, but no one died.</p>
<p>Officials in Granbury fear the number of dead could rise as seven people remain missing as search-and-rescue efforts turned to search and recovery about 10 a.m. <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/news/20130515-where-do-you-hide-cleanup-begins-after-tornadoes-leveled-homes-killed-6.ece" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">SOURCE</span></a></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Today politics is the furthest thing on my mind. Texans are hurting, 6 are dead and right now I don’t give a damn about Obama or any of it. You guys can fight Obama for a day or 2 without me.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Priorities; I have mine in order, well, in an order that matters most to me.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Once in a while even I have to take a break from politics and take care of more immediate and important business. The destruction that we suffered in the DFW area last night is at the top of my list for now.</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Justice to investigate IRS targeting of tea party</span></strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-18792" alt="Sad Obama 150" src="http://www.texasfred.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Sad-Obama-150.jpg" width="150" height="150" />WASHINGTON (AP)</strong> &#8211; The Justice Department is investigating the Internal Revenue Service for targeting tea party groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax exempt status, Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday.</p>
<p>Holder said the FBI will investigate to see if any laws were broken. He said he ordered the criminal investigation Friday &#8211; the day the IRS publicly acknowledged that it had singled out conservative groups. <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://apnews.myway.com//article/20130514/DA69A8BG1.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">SOURCE</span></a></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">I don’t usually start a post off by saying this and I don’t mean to offend my readers, but; this is the biggest crock of BULLSHIT to come out of the Obama regime yet &#8230; kinda like asking the FOX to look into who&#8217;s been raiding the hen house.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Those (actions) were, I think, as everyone can agree, if not criminal, they were certainly outrageous and unacceptable,&#8221; Holder said. &#8220;But we are examining the facts to see if there were criminal violations.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">And just like in the Fast and Furious debacle, Eric Holder is *totally innocent*, his DOJ acted without his full knowledge and he is a pure as the driven snow.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Didn’t the DOJ lead the investigation into Fast and Furious? Again; the fox looks into the incident in the hen house. I can’t think of a better analogy.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>Numerous congressional committees already are investigating the IRS for singling out tea party and other conservative groups during the 2010 congressional elections and the 2012 presidential election. But Holder&#8217;s announcement takes the matter to another level, if investigators are able to prove that laws were broken.</p>
<p>Holder said he wasn&#8217;t sure which laws may have been broken.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">So far, I am way less than impressed by ANY Congressional investigation of late. The Congress has a long ways to go to mend the fences that they themselves have knocked down by their own digressions, inaction and scandals.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">If investigators are able to prove that laws were broken? Seriously?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">If investigators can’t prove that laws were broken in all of these scandals it will be because the investigators are far less than competent and are in the tank for Obama, as well as being blind as bats.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">For crying out loud, Ray Charles could SEE the violations of Obama and Company.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>Meanwhile, documents obtained by The Associated Press suggest the targeting of conservative groups could be more widespread than the IRS has acknowledged. The agency has said it was limited to low-level workers in a Cincinnati office.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Somehow I just can’t help but think there are even MORE hits to came and that those hits are going to be even more powerful than what we’ve seen to date.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">This may be a story worth watching:</span> <a href="http://twitchy.com/2013/05/14/drudge-editor-joseph-curl-cia-source-says-still-one-more-shoe-to-drop-for-obama-admin/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Joseph Curl: ‘CIA source says still one more shoe to drop’ for Obama admin</span></a><span style="color: #000080;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Obama and his minions have hung the CIA out to dry. They allowed CIA Officers to DIE in Benghazi, Obama and Company watched it happen, and the CIA is not very happy with Obama and his bunch of ne’er do wells right about now, and for what it’s worth, and to those that may not be aware; the CIA is NOT the organization that you want to piss off, I don’t care WHO you are.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><span id="more-20900"></span>Here is the fact of the matter; Barack Hussein Obama and his regime are in trouble, they are between that proverbial *rock and a hard place* and that is NOT the position you want a RAT like Obama to be.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Obama KNOWS that he is in trouble and that makes him even more dangerous!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Look for an *event* that will deflect all, or nearly all attention away from the current maladies Obama is suffering. Look for an *event* to take place on American soil that is so severe, so heinous that it would give Obama a legitimate reason to enact Martial Law and put America under direct rule from the Oval Office.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">What might that event be? I can only guess, but I will say this, the Obama regime is so evil, so corrupt and so twisted that they make the administration of Richard Nixon look like a bunch of choir boys!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">It’s about to get REAL America, dangerously REAL, and when it does I am of the opinion that the 1st move the Obama regime and Holder’s DOJ/ATF will make will be to make ALL firearms in the hands of civilians a FEDERAL crime and will use an Executive Order to justify the confiscation of those firearms.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">THAT my friends is where it will begin. Barack Obama IS that dangerous, and that pompous. His arrogance is writing checks his ass can’t cash and now is the time to hit this narcissistic bastard with the NSF charges!</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Obama DOJ ordered phone tap on AP reporters</span></strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-20679" alt="Obama Pissed Off" src="http://www.texasfred.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Obama-Pissed-Off-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" />WASHINGTON (AP)</strong> — The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative&#8217;s top executive called a &#8220;massive and unprecedented intrusion&#8221; into how news organizations gather the news.</p>
<p>The records obtained by the Justice Department listed incoming and outgoing calls, and the duration of each call, for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.topix.com/forum/city/london-ky/T8TJN62D2T7MD6VJC" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">SOURCE</span></a></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Since Barack Hussein Obama and his EVIL regime came to power, I, and many others in the Conservative blog world have tried our very best to point out to the American people that Obama is too damned STUPID to be POTUS and his appointed regime is nothing more than a gang of EVIL minions, as consumed with Communism and Socialism as is their Obamessiah.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">For the longest time the Mainstream Media has been Obama’s biggest fan and has done everything within its power to protect their Obamessiah from the accusations from the Conservatives and a few GOP Senators and Congressmen that had the BALLS to stand up and speak against the President.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Now, the AP has been the victim of the <em><strong>Obamunists</strong></em> and his DOJ, a DOJ at the hands of one Eric Holder, a DOJ that has yet to explain Fast and Furious, now embroiled in a new scandal, several scandals at the same time actually.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">There is serious wonderment regarding this:</span> <a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2013/05/11/fox-abc-and-cbs-news-presidents-have-siblings-working-white-house-tie" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;"> Presidents of ABC and CBS News Have Siblings Working at White House With Ties to Benghazi</span></a> <span style="color: #000080;">and the blatant nepotism it represents.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">We see the media at their worst, and have for the longest time,</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://patdollard.com/2013/05/shock-corruption-exposed-cbs-news-chief-about-to-fire-reporter-for-exposing-benghazi-coverup-is-brother-of-coverup-co-conspirator/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">SHOCK, CORRUPTION EXPOSED: CBS News President About To Fire Reporter For Exposing Benghazi Coverup Is Brother Of Coverup Co-Conspirator</span></a></span> <span style="color: #000080;">and that is NOT a joke. A Mainstream News reporter is on the verge of being fired for doing her job. Sharyl Attkisson is accused of being TOO AGGRESSIVE in her coverage of the Obama regime and its scandals too aggressively.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The TRUTH can’t be told now can it? Surely the MSM is on the verge of awakening.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><span id="more-20893"></span>Then there is this scandal in the making:</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/reports-benghazi-used-by-obama-admin-to-ship-arms-to-islamist-jihadists"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Reports: Benghazi used by Obama Administration to ship arms to Jihadi terrorists</span></a></span><span style="color: #000080;">.</span> <span style="color: #000080;">It has gotten SO bad that even Rep. Michele Bachmann got the memo and put out this story.</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://im41.com/archives/28176"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Bachmann: Obama released IRS bombshell because of Benghazi</span></a></span><span style="color: #000080;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The MEDIA has given Obama and Company a FREE RIDE so far, but now I have to ask, does that FREE RIDE come to an end? Is the Mainstream Media going to wake up and realize that Obama is not a Messiah, he is a Communist sympathizer with a serious Socialist bent and he IS a Muslim sympathizer, if not secretly an active Muslim that is dead set on destroying America?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Is it now time for it ALL to come out? Is Obama about to come crashing down like the house of cards his regime truly is?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Obama may soon wish he was a student of history and could recall the words of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto when he said, following the attack on Pearl Harbor, &#8220;I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The American Media can BE that sleeping giant. Politicians live or die at their hands and if the MSM has been awakened the days of Obama may be coming to a bitter end.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">For the sake of America I hope so, but in that same vein I also hope and pray that the GOP doesn’t do what the GOP is so well known for, that being; snatching defeat from the jaws of certain victory and throwing in a whole new crowd of RINOs that have got the guts to stand up to their own shadow.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">No more cowards, no more RINOs, no more Democrat Lite. By God it’s time for true Patriots to rise and retake America and return Her to the greatness of days long past!</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-20885" alt="Benghazi Four" src="http://www.texasfred.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Benghazi-Four-300x168.jpg" width="300" height="168" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Benghazi depositions to examine Clinton&#8217;s role</span></strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>WASHINGTON (AP)</strong> &#8211; The Republican chairman of the House oversight panel is asking a veteran diplomat and a former chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff for sworn testimony about their investigation into the deaths of four Americans at a diplomatic outpost in Benghazi, Libya. <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://apnews.myway.com//article/20130513/DA68DUB80.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">SOURCE</span></a></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">It looks like Rep. Darrell Issa is out for blood on this one, and rightly so in MY opinion.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">There has been much written and said about Benghazi of late but this past weekend it appears that the MEDIA has become actively involved. There are also some issues at hand with the MEDIA and their direct connection to media management and White House *persons in high places*.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Presidents of ABC and CBS News Have Siblings Working at White House With Ties to Benghazi</span></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;CBS News President David Rhodes and ABC News President Ben Sherwood, both of them have siblings that not only work at the White House, that not only work for President Obama, but they work at the NSC on foreign policy issues directly related to Benghazi.&#8221; <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2013/05/11/fox-abc-and-cbs-news-presidents-have-siblings-working-white-house-tie" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">SOURCE</span></a></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Now I’m not making an accusation mind you, but somehow, this just screams nepotism to me, and may well explain WHY some in the media are being so defensive of the White House right about now.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">This story has been floating around all weekend,</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://patdollard.com/2013/05/shock-corruption-exposed-cbs-news-chief-about-to-fire-reporter-for-exposing-benghazi-coverup-is-brother-of-coverup-co-conspirator/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">SHOCK, CORRUPTION EXPOSED: CBS News President About To Fire Reporter For Exposing Benghazi Coverup Is Brother Of Coverup Co-Conspirator</span></a></span><span style="color: #000080;">.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>Excerpted from The Daily Caller: The brother of a top Obama administration official is also the president of CBS News, and the network may be days away from dropping one of its top investigative reporters for covering the administration’s scandals too aggressively.</p>
<p>CBS News executives have reportedly expressed frustration with their own reporter, Sharyl Attkisson, who has steadily covered the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi terrorist attack in Libya since late last year.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The media in America is about to implode, and quite likely WILL if their hero, Barack Obama, and his regime can be held at fault for the actions, and lack thereof at Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">And then we get this little blurb:</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/reports-benghazi-used-by-obama-admin-to-ship-arms-to-islamist-jihadists"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Reports: Benghazi used by Obama Administration to ship arms to Jihadi terrorists</span></a></span><span style="color: #000080;">.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera has gone public stating his sources have verified that the now destroyed and abandoned U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya was actually a way station for American weapons to be shipped to Syrian rebels, as reported by The Blaze via Google News on 10 May, 2013.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Geraldo and Beck; a pair to draw to, poker players will *get* the reference, but snarkism aside, they may well be about to slam Obama’s and Hillary’s noses in the door.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><span id="more-20876"></span>If Geraldo and The Blaze have it right then that may well explain why the IRS vs. The TEA Party story suddenly came to the forefront of the news over the weekend. Even Rep. Michele Bachmann got a clue.</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://im41.com/archives/28176"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Bachmann: Obama released IRS bombshell because of Benghazi</span></a></span><span style="color: #000080;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">There are other *whistle blowers* that will be coming into prominence I am sure, some will come forward that have absolutely nothing to lose and *beans will be spilled*.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Some seem to think this is a possibility:</span> <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/may/12/curl-watch-out-petraeus-benghazi-scandal/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">CURL: Watch out for Petraeus in Benghazi scandal</span></a><span style="color: #000080;">. I sincerely hope so because Gen. Petraeus has more credibility than the entire Obama regime put together.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Duck and dodge, lie and deflect, cover it up and pray that the media keeps on carrying the water for Obama; THAT is what Obama has, it’s the ONLY hope he has, but I’m thinking that a few in the media have been awakened and are looking for a Pulitzer right about now.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">My opinion; Obama will serve out his term in disgrace; he doesn’t possess the dignity or shame to resign like Richard Nixon. Benghazi should give Conservatives and the GOP the wherewithal to hold, and make gains in the Congress and to retake the Senate, provided the GOP can pull its head out of its ass and run some viable and electable candidates.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The biggest WIN I see in this? Hillary Clinton may very well be totally and completely put out to pasture, a good place for the old cow.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">One final thought; wouldn’t it be a hoot to see Jay Carney get arrested on charges of *general stupidity*? Jay Carney; the epitome of stupid.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20891" alt="News Nepotism" src="http://www.texasfred.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/News-Nepotism.jpg" width="480" height="424" /></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Va. woman has no regrets over role in burial</span></strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-20872" alt="Martha Mullen Boston Bomber Burial" src="http://www.texasfred.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Martha-Mullen-Boston-Bomber-Burial-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" />DOSWELL, Va. (AP)</strong> &#8211; The Virginia woman whose actions led to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev being buried about 30 miles north of her Richmond home said the angry backlash from local officials, some cemetery neighbors and online critics has been unpleasant, but she has no regrets.</p>
<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t pretend it&#8217;s not difficult to be reviled and maligned,&#8221; Martha Mullen told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Friday. &#8220;But any time you can reach across the divide and work with people that are not like you, that&#8217;s what God calls us to do.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tsarnaev, 26, was quietly buried Thursday at a small Islamic cemetery in rural Caroline County. His body had remained at a Worcester, Mass., funeral parlor since he was killed April 19 in a gunfight with police, days after the bombings that killed three and injured more than 260 in downtown Boston. Cemeteries in Massachusetts and several other states refused to accept the remains. With costs to protect the funeral home mounting, Worcester police appealed for help finding a place to bury Tsarnaev.</p>
<p>Mullen said she was at a Starbucks when she heard a radio news report about the difficulty finding a burial spot for Tsarnaev. <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://apnews.myway.com//article/20130511/DA66UJLO2.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">SOURCE</span></a></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Well Martha, don’t you look ever so wonderful with that star in YOUR crown? Was that Starbucks one of the locations that said they didn&#8217;t want ANY business from folks that believe in *traditional marriage*? I&#8217;m guessing that there is a Liberal tilt in your head and I am going to venture a guess and say that you&#8217;d be OK with non-traditional.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">I don’t suppose Martha, sweet, kind Martha realizes that this Muslim bastard Tsarnaev would just as soon kill her as to look at her if he was still alive.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>So Mullen, a mental health counselor in private practice and a graduate of United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, sent emails to various faith organizations to see what could be done. She heard back from Islamic Funeral Services of Virginia, which arranged for a funeral plot at the Al-Barzakh cemetery. &#8220;It was an interfaith effort,&#8221; she said.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Martha, dear, sweet, GAWD loving Martha, and her interfaith efforts, and people like them, are the reason I walked away from organized *religion* many years ago. I seriously got tired of hearing the hypocrisy and all around BS.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">“But you have to turn the other cheek Brother Fred” they would say.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Do you know what you get when you turn the other cheek?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">You get TWO sore cheeks, THAT is what you get, and <em>Brother Fred</em> doesn’t play well with those that would slap him in the face or blow him up. I’m just kind of *funny* that way.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>Mullen, a member of the United Methodist Church, said she was motivated by her own faith and that she had the full support of her pastor.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Admittedly, I don’t know a lot about the Methodist Church, but what I do know it that every time I have heard something in the news about a Methodist Church it was because it was connected to Islam and/or was pandering to Muslims.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">No? That can’t be right you say?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><span id="more-20870"></span>Well, the story of dear, sweet Martha and her interfaith group, and her being a Methodist and having done this with the full support of her Methodist pastor speaks otherwise, don’t you think?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">And then there is this:</span> <a href="http://www.texasfred.net/archives/17562" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Methodist minister observes Ramadan in solidarity with Muslims</span></strong></span></a><span style="color: #000080;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Now it just so happens that this Methodist minister was doing his *solidarity* thing right here in Rowlett, TX. and I took the good Rev. Dr. Wes Magruder to task in the post linked above.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Recently I was told that Magruder had left Rowlett, and quite frankly, I see that as NO loss to this city or the Christian faith.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">All over this nation Muslims try to pass themselves off as *All-American* citizens that love America and ask, “Can’t we all just get along?” and my answer to that is NO, we can’t. Your Quran instructs you to lie to the infidel in order to gain his trust, and then you are to lop his head off if he doesn’t become a convert to Islam or pay Jizya tax.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Here is the bottom line for me; if you’re sucking up to Islam, SCREW YOU!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">If you’re a Muslim in America and you’re trying to make us believe that you and yours are a *religion of peace*, you’re a LIAR, SCREW YOU!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">If you’re a Liberal mental health counselor that sucks up to Islam, SCREW YOU, get some mental health help for yourself.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">If you’re a Liberal Methodist minister, say someone named Rev. Dr. Wes Magruder for instance, or someone similar to Magruder, and you’re sucking up to Islam as opposed to telling the truth, SCREW YOU too! </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Obama and the Libtards may not be at war with these cretins, but I AM!</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">IRS apologizes for targeting conservative groups</span></strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-20866" alt="IRS Logo" src="http://www.texasfred.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/IRS-Logo-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" />WASHINGTON (AP)</strong> &#8211; The Internal Revenue Service inappropriately flagged conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status, a top IRS official said Friday.</p>
<p>Organizations were singled out because they included the words &#8220;tea party&#8221; or &#8220;patriot&#8221; in their applications for tax-exempt status, said Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups.</p>
<p>In some cases, groups were asked for their list of donors, which violates IRS policy in most cases, she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;That was wrong. That was absolutely incorrect, it was insensitive and it was inappropriate. That&#8217;s not how we go about selecting cases for further review,&#8221; Lerner said at a conference sponsored by the American Bar Association.</p>
<p>&#8220;The IRS would like to apologize for that,&#8221; she added. <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://apnews.myway.com//article/20130510/DA66H7G01.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">SOURCE</span></a></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">One of the biggest LIES in the history of the world: ‘I’m from the IRS and I’m here to help you.’</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Many Conservative bloggers have been cautioned by their friends and readers because our readers believe that we, as Conservative bloggers, have opened ourselves up to IRS scrutiny and audits of OUR taxes because we have taken such a HARD stand regarding the REGIME of Barack Hussein Obama and his evil minions.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">That has never been a concern for me.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The TRUTH is NOT something that Obama and Company wants to attack, the TRUTH will stand the light of day and it will set you free, and they, Obama and Company, know that.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The TRUTH is all I have, well, the TRUTH as I see it, based on what I put together from the coverage provided by the media, such as it is, and on what I garner from various sites that focus on the Conservative and Republican side of the political spectrum.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">I also base MY political opinions on information gathered from Liberal sites too. It’s very easy to cut through their BS, read between the lines and then compare stories from other areas before I form an opinion that I am willing to publish.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>Lerner said the practice was initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati and was not motivated by political bias. After her talk, she told The AP that no high level IRS officials knew about the practice. She did not say when they found out.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">What do they call that? Plausible deniability isn’t it?</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span id="more-20864"></span>Many conservative groups complained during the election that they were being harassed by the IRS. They accused the agency of frustrating their attempts to become tax exempt by sending them lengthy, intrusive questionnaires.</p>
<p>The forms, which the groups made available at the time, sought information about group members&#8217; political activities, including details of their postings on social networking websites and about family members.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Some folks that are members of groups such as the TEA Party are very vocal on social media sites, but I thought that was the purpose of social media.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">If a group is taking in a lot of money and is seeking a tax exempt status I guess there are certain criteria that must be met, especially if said group has a web site of their own. I know that the type of tax status and incorporation matter greatly because of *the fine print*, but for the love of God, WHAT does posting on Facebook and details of your family members have to do with it?</span></p>
<blockquote><p>IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman told Congress in March 2012 that the IRS was not targeting groups based on their political views.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s absolutely no targeting. This is the kind of back and forth that happens to people&#8221; who apply for tax-exempt status, Shulman told a House Ways and Means subcommittee.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Maybe so, maybe not. Have you ever heard of</span> <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">COINTELPRO</span></a><span style="color: #000080;">?</span></span></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>COINTELPRO (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program) was a series of covert, and at times illegal,[1] projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveying, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">It HAS happened before, and history does have a way of repeating itself…</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">GOP Benghazi probe stokes political controversy</span></strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>WASHINGTON (AP)</strong> &#8211; House Republicans insist the Obama administration is covering up information about last year&#8217;s deadly assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, rejecting administration assurances to the contrary and stoking a controversy with implications for the 2016 presidential race.</p>
<p>Republicans on five House committees are pressing ahead with their own investigations despite an exhaustive independent review that blistered the State Department, more than 25,000 pages of documents sent to Congress and hours of testimony from former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.</p>
<p>Three State Department witnesses, including the former deputy chief in Libya, are scheduled to testify Wednesday before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee at a session certain to attract attention after recent disclosures from the panel&#8217;s Republicans.</p>
<p>The hearing is the latest in a long-running and bitter dispute between the administration and congressional Republicans who have challenged the White House&#8217;s actions before and after the Benghazi attack. <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://apnews.myway.com//article/20130508/DA656K501.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">SOURCE</span></a></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Well, what can you say? The mainstream media, Associated Press, has actually taken up the idea that there IS going to be a hearing on the Benghazi tragedy.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Of course the AP isn’t accepting the idea that the testimony given by former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Joint Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is a crock of crap. That’s what happens when the media is in the tank for the Obama regime, no matter the action, no matter the outcome, it must have happened because those EVIL Republicans are EVIL and are out to *GET* King Barack and Queen Michelle.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">There are some in the media that claim the GOP only seeks the TRUTH because they are VILE racists and because Obama is Black. That is the spin from MSNBC and Chris *Tingles* Mathews if I am not mistaken.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Something that I find very interesting is this; the hearings are opening as I type this and so far, FOX News and C-SPAN are the only one covering it. CNN and MSNBC are covering the story of the girls in Ohio, a serious story no doubt, but NOT one that affects national security and this entire nation.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The state of our MEDIA is as big a travesty as is the state of the nation.</span></p>
<blockquote><p>The report failed to placate GOP lawmakers, conservatives and outside groups, some of whom contend Benghazi is comparable to the Watergate and Iran-Contra scandals and deserves a thorough examination. Two of the outside groups &#8211; Special Operations Speaks and Special Ops OPSEC &#8211; have been raising money on the issue.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><span id="more-20858"></span>The GOP wasn’t placated because they were LIED to. They were fed a BS sandwich and were told that it was pure truth, because, after all, King Barack wouldn’t lie nor would he allow his vassals to lie. Would he?</span></p>
<blockquote><p>The target of much of the conservative wrath is Clinton, a potential presidential candidate in 2016 who stepped down after four grueling years as the nation&#8217;s top diplomat with sky-high approval ratings. In her last appearance on Capitol Hill in January, a defiant Clinton took responsibility for the department&#8217;s missteps leading up to the assault while rejecting suggestions that the administration had tried to mislead the country about the attack.</p>
<p>She insisted that requests for more security at the diplomatic mission in Benghazi didn&#8217;t reach her desk.</p>
<p>&#8220;I did not see these requests,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They did not come to me. I did not approve them. I did not deny them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yet Republicans are pressing ahead, holding hearings and issuing an interim report that criticized her.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">And press ahead they must!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">The truth is NOT a part of the Obama repertoire, it never has been and it never will be.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Many, myself included, hope these hearings bring down Obama and his regime. I don’t know if that is possible, but if not, I DO hope that these hearings bring TRUTH to the American people and put an end to ANY aspirations that Hillary Clinton may possess in making a run for the Presidency in 2016.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Stay tuned, this is getting real!</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000080;">From the brilliant mind of my friend, Mr. Alan Caruba. My commentary follows his great story.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">It&#8217;s Not the Crime, but the Cover-Up</span></strong></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20847" alt="Benghazi Victims" src="http://www.texasfred.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Benghazi-Victims.jpg" width="630" height="286" /></p>
<blockquote><p>By Alan Caruba</p>
<p>I still recall the long months of the Watergate scandal that began with a botched break-in of the Democratic Party headquarters in Washington, D.C. on June 17, 1972. It was directed by a group of presidential operatives dubbed the “plumbers” inside the White House. No one died, but a number of the operatives, including the Attorney General, John Mitchell, went to jail!</p>
<p>As always, it is not the crime, but the cover-up that brought down the Nixon presidency. It was the testimony of John Dean III, a top aide to Nixon, who revealed the extent of the corruption that existed and Nixon’s complicity.</p>
<p>The initial revelations and subsequent congressional investigations did not lead to a swift application of the law. Indeed, it would not be until August 9, 1974 that Nixon would resign, the first and only President to do so.</p>
<p>Two years would pass and, if one applies this to the Obama presidency, that means he has some twenty-four months left in office, a period of time in which he can do a lot of damage, assuming events play out as they did in the 1970s. Obama’s conduct of the presidency is a stain on the office at this point and his personal conduct an insult to Americans struggling to find work, pay their mortgages, put their children through college, and maintain any faith in their government.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com/2013/05/its-not-crime-but-cover-up.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Full Story Here</span></a></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Regarding the Benghazi hearings, and the actions of our Congress; the hearing begins tomorrow, the mainstream media is trying to ignore these hearings, but that can’t be allowed to happen. Conservative BLOGGERS must keep the Benghazi story in front of the American people.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">This hearing, its findings and final results, will either be the END of Obama and Clinton or will signal that the demise of America is a certainty.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">DO NOT hesitate to contact your Congressman and tell them to get on board and to get VERY vocal in support of <strong>THE TRUTH</strong> being shown the light of day! The victims of Benghazi deserve the truth and the American people need to know the truth about Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Remember, these Congressmen and Senators work for US, you and me, make your feelings known.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><em><strong>We, THE PEOPLE</strong></em>! </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">Benghazigate is REAL and if you’re not angry you’re not paying attention.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span id="more-20846"></span>“I think the dam is about to break on Benghazi. We’re going to find a system failure before, during, and after the attacks. We’re going to find political manipulation seven weeks before an election. We’re going to find people asleep at the switch when it comes to the State Department, including Hillary Clinton. The bond that has been broken between those who serve us in harm’s way and the government they serve is huge — and to me every bit as damaging as Watergate.” ~ Sen. Lindsey Graham</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">WAKE UP AMERICA! We either rise up and SAVE this nation or America as we once knew it is over and done!</span></p>
