Bill O'Romney - The Spin Starts Here.

Firday, Jan. 13, 2012.


I was just watching Bill O'Romney - the Spin Starts Here - and I felt as if had fallen through the looking-glass. Bill O'Romney was making a qualitative comparison argument, comparing (1) today, Obama's "requesting" more authority to 'down size government' - his very ambitious plan to cut three billion (with a B) dollars from the federal budget over ten years. He proposed do so by killing a few jobs by attrition (so when someone dies or retires no one is hired to replace them.) to (2) Mitt Romney's corporate cannibalizing of American Companies using foreign capital. Bill kept making the comparison over and over, labeling both mere "downsizing, to save the company" while the two shills, Bill hires to look stupid, stared at him blankly for most of the segment.

Let us make the comparison - Obama proposed to terminate NO persons, to lay off or fire NO persons.
A three billion dollar cut to the federal budget over ten years amounts to about 1/10th of 1/10000th of the federal budget. (read no cut at all.) What a cynical con the proposal is! - since the three billion is taken not by lowering spending, but merely by reducing the increase. When compared to the 4 trillion (with a T) Dollars Obama has capriciously wasted in the last three years his political gesture is beyond cynical. If half the American population wasn't stupid, he would never get away with such a charade. But like cousin Herman Cain rightly said, "Stupid people are ruining our country."  This was the story and deserves to be told, but what did Bill O'Romney do? He claimed that Obama's pretend cuts and Romney destruction of American Companies were equally GOOD things.

Were Romney's actions moral?  Truly cutting the Federal Budget would be moral, if accomplished from a basis of morality.  Mitt fired tens if not hundreds of thousands of workers, (when you ad the small businesses dependent upon the employees of the larger businesses for revenue.) Romney shut down factory operations that were the life line of some American towns, and the employee's got pink slips while he made hundreds of millions for himself and billions for foreign investors. Romney, probably made much, much more. My guess, a suspicion based upon the fact that he won't release his tax records and it is confirmed he has overseas banking accounts.

What is there to compare?  This was a TOTAL Propaganda piece and shames O'Reilly and Fox News. It also exposes the lengths to which they will go to try to secure the Republican nomination for Mitt Romney.

Can You Buy Your Way To American Presidency - Rich Boy Romney Is Trying

How many "conservative" talking heads are employed and/or syndicated on "Clear Channel"?

Romney's Bain Capital Buys Clear Channel Communications


www.huffingtonpost.com

What would it cost to buy the support of just about every nationally-syndicated neocon talk show host in America? About $19.5 Billion, which is what Mitt Romney's private equity firm, Bain Capital, and Thomas H. Lee Partners have agreed to pay in a leveraged buyout agreement with Clear Channel Commu...

Anthony Davar


Programs that appear on many Clear Channel talk stations include the Glenn Beck Program -- getting his talk show start at Clear Channel owned WFLA (AM) in Tampa, The Rush Limbaugh Show, The Sean Hannity Show, America Now with Andy Dean and Coast to Coast AM, all of which are affiliated with Premiere Radio Networks in some fashion. The Savage Nation (which was until September 2009 flagshipped at Clear Channel's KNEW-910), The Mark Levin Show and The Dave Ramsey Show are non-Premiere shows who air on many (if not most) Clear Channel stations.

Limbaugh is almost universally carried on Clear Channel stations in markets where the company has a news talk station, with the exception of markets such as Washington, DC and San Francisco, CA, where ABC Radio (which previously was Limbaugh's home network) has a news talk station in the market.

New Clear Channel talk radio stations have typically been using the branding "Rush Radio," while most older ones use a more generic "News Radio" or "News Talk."

‎"The buyout finally closed in July 2008. Romney is now a "silent" partner of Bain. The company, which has laid off thousands of employees in recent years, announced that it would move to more centralized programming and lay off 1,500 employees, or approximately 7% of its workforce, on January 20, 2009. Later on January 20, the company said that the total count of employees to be terminated would be 1,850, or 9%.
Between January and May 2009 Clear Channel eliminated 2,440 positions"




Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC and its affiliates states have lavished close to $1.3 million in campaign donations to federal, state and local GOP politicians, almost all since 2010. His recipients include officials in the major upcoming primary states of New Hampshire and South Carolina, and in three southern Super Tuesday states where he was trounced four years ago.

In New Hampshire, a U.S. senator, a congressman, 10 state senators and three executive councilors shared $26,000 in donations from Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC in 2010 and 2011 combined. All 15 have showered Romney with endorsements leading up to Tuesday’s primary

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley came out for Romney last month – a year after his Free and Strong America PACs put $36,000 to her 2010 election bid.

And 19 state and Washington, D.C., lawmakers in three Super Tuesday states – Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia — are backing Romney after his PAC poured a total of $125,500 into their coffers for elections held in 2009 and 2010.

hate the source, but the facts match up with what we are finding unfortunately, since so many who we thought were conservatives, endorse an obvious rino :-( http://www.salon.com/2012/01/07/35_romney_endorsers_received_contributions_first/singleton/

Mitt takes the endorsement game "to a whole new level"
    • No Wonder Newt Gingrich recently said that he thought Mitt Romney would buy the election if he could. Looks like he is doing a pretty good job of it!
For those criticizing the super-pac that is exposing Mitt Romney's predatory corporate-raider practices, claiming that Newt Gingrich's stand vis a vis the same is 'anti-capitalism' I would remind you of two things.

(1)For Capitalism to work it has to have a moral basis. It has to provide goods and services, expand the business base thus create jobs. People like Mitt Romney have operated an amoral Capitalism, spent two generations taking down the structure of American Capitalism by buying companies and cannibalizing them, selling off the assets, laying off workers, moving production over seas, using slave labor. Is this REALLY who we want to be our president?

(2) Laissez-faire capitalism was NEVER envisioned to be "international." It was a system for inside the country, where the government didn't interfere in the economic affairs of the "country", but allowed people to carry on their business, trade, etc., as they saw fit. But government DID interfere. Exposing American business to massive amounts of foreign capital and slave labor (and near slave labor) markets. The brain dead "maybe" thought that it would mean "investment" in American business, but what it created was a feeding frenzy ON American businesses, not investment IN American business. Romney took foreign capital and started feeding on established American businesses. He can say, "Well these business were in distress." If so it was caused by the sudden exposure to massive foreign capital and slave labor competition, against which American business that respected its workers, were not prepared and could not compete. The cooperation of foreign capital and American government action, disregarding the interest of domestic business IS international fascism. We have the New World Order-Progressivists to thank for this. AND that is what Mitt Romney IS, a New World Order Progressivist - parading as a conservative, per chance he might be elected president. - God help what is left of American Business were that to happen.

The Right To Choose and Secular Slavery

Having driven God from the public square and no longer able to appeal to higher principles, we are left with what? Mere sociological law from a base of Secular Humanism, a humanism that fears the individual human and his exercise of God Given Freedom. In the dark mind of the Secular Humanist all the ills of the earth are human caused, caused by the capricious actions of individuals. For the Secular Humanist the only answer is a sociological answer, where man becomes a mere "unit" for the production of the grand paradise, the utopian dream where the elite save the earth from the ravages of man.  Suddenly the law becomes merely the capricious and arbitrary decisions of the elite. - If you think I exaggerate please read further.


Congress, via the Constitution is vested with "all law" but has abdicated to the "experts" in various fields. They have wrongly assumed these experts were true experts indeed, i.e. objective scientists. They have granted to these experts the power to make regulation that hold full force of law. In most agencies of government they have allowed these agencies to encompass not only the power to create law - (congress) but also the power to administer law (executive) - and also the power to pass judgment upon the laws they have created and try cases (the judiciary).  This is a TOTAL destruction of the separation of, and balance of powers. I.E. the total destruction of constitutional liberties.  This is not new, it is a position and power first accorded the IRS and increasingly accorded other agencies.

In all of the fields where Congress has abdicated to "experts" the experts are not experts in most cases, but merely ideological adherents of Secular Humanism. They form and administer laws according to their sociological law model. Which is: A group of people decide what is sociologically good for society at the given moment, generally following a grand plan. That "good" is decided arbitrarily, from their viewpoint, moment by moment as they "make the law" via their personal arbitrary decisions.  Now they can spin these laws and this power with legalese and techno-jargon, but at its core it holds no more weight than the definition I have given it and can prove by example of unscientific action after unscientific action. Rather than "expertise" the rightful word to describe their actions is "arbitrary" i.e. sociological not scientific.

Those people who are just NOW screaming about the destruction of the constitution have been asleep for 30 years.  This Secular Humanist structure begins with denying "higher law." Higher Law says that man's place in society is as a creature, created in the Image and Likeness of God, endowed by that creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these rights are LIFE, LIBERTY and  PROPERTY, etc.  The inhuman and insane twist of law and bureaucracy that has invaded our lives and our country, stifled our speech, crippled and killed our businesses, conditioned and brainwashed our children instead of educating them, comes NOT from our rightful exercise of our place in society via Higher Law, but via the sociological planning of those who deny Creation, and have removed God from the Public Square.

Some people have mistaken this slavery to the whim of sociological experts as "liberty." Abortion rights advocates have sold themselves into this arbitrary slavery for the exercise of one false freedom. Once the line of Human Dignity was breeched where a woman could capriciously decide the fate of another human's life in the womb it was no big step for the Federal Government through ObamaCare to add "The State's Right to Choose" - and create literal death panels to capriciously deciding who is "worthy of life extending treatment" and who is not. And how is this decision made? Not upon the worth of the individual life, according to Higher Law, but according to the sociological model created by the Secular Humanists. Further and virtually on the heels of ObamaCare the State subsumed the right to "Choose To Execute" any deemed a threat to the collective, without trial, without recourse to the previous rights as citizen. (This is no exaggeration - clearly part of the last Defense Authorization Act).

Let us not deny the reality, our loss of God in the public square has created not secular liberty, but death to the vulnerable: the very young, the very old and the unborn. This month we have to add, Death to those deemed a threat. Next and please mark my word, comes Death to those deem merely a burden.

When the bureaucracies began to add thousands of serious regulations to the books every year, which began in earnest under Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter, I perceived the situation and asked and answered the follow question for myself, and asked an answered the same question before any willing to listen. "How do you enslave a people?  By creating laws that cannot be kept."  This wasn't an original thought, but it was original to Alexis de Tocqueville when describing the "mild slavery in Europe that destroys free enterprise." People looked at me always like I was insane, like I was the radical. I spoke "en clair" but they, for the most part, read it as code. Surely I had some evil agenda to try to frighten them. Family and friends were very busy living their happy lives, gathering wealth and as the scripture said, "For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered into the ark. And they did not know anything until the deluge came and swept them all away."

Those not familiar with history are bound to repeat it and repeating Europe's experience with crippling bureaucracies we are.  When Tocqueville looked at America and witnessed the combination of exercise of civic duty, and private enterprise that was taken by the individual with such energy and personal responsibility, he nailed the core reason the complex American system worked. He said, "The Americans combine the notions of religion and liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive of one without the other." Not so any longer and we are paying the price with 60 million dead already and more insanity coming every day.

I submit that Liberty can't exist without the Religion, and not just any religion, certainly not the religions of Secular Humanism or Islam, or any other death cult or culture of death. Rather ONLY, OUR Judeo-Christian heritage that puts a premium on the concept of LIFE and the Dignity of the Individual. Until we en masse return to our FAITH ROOTS, we have NO prayer of re-securing our Liberty. Please hear me. Make no mistake, just because you may live in your home at this moment unmolested, that does not mean you have retained the RIGHT to live unmolested. In fact the opposite is so. Without warrant, without trial, without resort to habeas corpus, you can be deemed (unknown to you) a threat, and with no opportunity to defend, and no presumption of innocence (as the Higher Law codified on our Constitution allowed) you may be whisked away to a military prison or executed, LEGALLY by a state that has subsumed the 'Right To Choose', the "Right to Choose Death by neglect or execution" the "Right to Choose Incarceration" (read re-education.)  These things are already happening and we have NO grounds to demand redress without first grasping our Faith Heritage.

Note*  Even though multiple sources have announced that the Defense Authorization act has the provisions I describe above, Congressman Allen West who was on the committee that drew up the act denies that this specific authorization is in it.


Here is a typical story about President Obama signing the act into law and seems to confirm my take on the issue: Written by By D. Benjamin Satkowiak | Yahoo! Contributor Network – Tue, Jan 3, 2012


ANALYSIS | On Saturday, as many Americans were busy preparing themselves for the ringing in of 2012, President Barack Obama was busy signing into law the controversial National Defense Authorization Act. The bill, which was debated with heated fervor, is considered by some, including members of Congress, to be legislation that crosses the boundaries of the United States' Constitution.
President Obama, himself, had originally threatened to veto the bill, if language that would have precluded Americans from being subjected to indefinite detention was not removed. The bill's co-sponsor, Michigan Senator Carl Levin also stated that it was, in fact, the Obama administration which demanded that language specifying U.S. citizens and lawful resident aliens would be exempt from the indefinite detention provision be removed.
The provision, though touted as a necessary inclusion to benefit the war on terror, has come under immense scrutiny as its language sets the stage for American citizens to be detained, arrested and potentially dealt with by use of extreme prejudice, for the mere assertion the one may be involved in potential terrorist activity. The potential, some fear, will do away with the requirements of probable cause, Miranda rights and the right to a fair trial.
In his signing statement, President Obama stated that despite having "serious reservations," the bill was deemed too important not to sign into law. Furthermore, administration officials stated publicly that the final version of the bill was not consistent with the position of the White House.
According to Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, the bill seals Obama's legacy as the president who legalized indefinite detention without trial or cause. The ACLU also voices a similar opinion, stating that the bill damages America's reputation for upholding the rule of law."
What is left to be unfurled, by the American public, are the potential future complications caused by such an open-ended piece of legislation. While many view the world's current standing as removed from immediate threat to Constitutional rights, the provision allows for a multitude of interpretive change, as future administrations enter and leave political power.
It is for these fears, alone, that many feel the disenfranchisement of voters will escalate in response.

If You Can Watch This and Not Weep For Our Country - Wake Up! Your Soul Is Asleep

If it makes you angry that I would dare show this carnage, then you are living in delusion.


If you feel nothing but satisfaction that abortions are cheap, legal and readily available, your soul is dead and you've lost your primary hold, appreciation and thankfulness for life.


At conception each embryo is a unique creation, with a D.N.A. code that has never existed before in time. If the intelligence of the Creator is not stamped all over that fact, what could speak of Him?


One of the beautiful accomplishments of our Judeo-Christian heritage is an enormous respect for life.  When abortion and baby killing were common in pagan cultures and even human sacrifice was practiced, our Tradition cherished life in the womb. 


The forming of a child in the womb was seen as the mystery and miracle it is, from very early times. The forming of a child in the womb was equated with God's creation of all we know, of being itself.



Ecc_11:5  As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. 


Our Tradition acknowledged that people are born with destinies, that the meaning of their life is sealed in the womb. This millennia before DNA science proved that each embryo is completely unique, never share with another soul in all of time.


Isa_49:5  And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. 

Jer_1:5  Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 


If you watch this. Please find your heart and weep, find your faith and ask God's forgiveness for the silent carnage that has accompanied the destruction of our Country.

Why Mitt Romney Has To Be The Nominee

Who Can Win a Presidential General Election? - It's the same ole song.




I'm hearing the old cattle call - "we've got to remember who can win a general election. A conservative can't get the independent vote."

Message: Newt Gingrich is too conservative. Don't you realize that Mitt Romney is moderate and the ONLY candidate that can win independent voters and thus win a general election. What! ARE you for Newt Gingrich? Don't you realize Obama will beat him?

Please consider the history: 

ELECTING A CONSERVATIVE
We have bought the progressivist propaganda since 1964 that a true conservative cannot win a general election. But history tells another story.  Obama can't wait to run against Romney. Why do we know that? We know this by the fact that the lame-stream media has anointed Romney the "Front Runner" status for months when it simply has not been so. For the months that Herman Cain and then Newt Gingrich have led in the national polls, the "media" (including Fox) have consistently called Romney "the front runner" when in fact the polls have shown a different story.

Who can beat Obama?
Look at the elections we have lost since Goldwater.  Ford, Bush 41, Dole and McCain so called "moderates" all. The only reason Bush 41 was elected the first time was his "no new taxes" pledge and on the residual popularity of Ronald Reagan. Bush 41 quickly abandoned his no new taxes pledge so the second term no one was buying it.  

Who HAS WON:
(1)  Nixon who although he was not a true conservative he ran as one and had everyone believing he was one and no one suspected him of having any Marxist leanings. 
(2) Reagan who WAS the closest thing we have had to a conservative, and 
(3) Bush 43, who wasn't a conservative but had everyone believing he was one.  

NO KNOWN Republican Moderate has been elected in my life time except Eisenhower. And he was a special kind of moderate. People trusted that he wasn't sympathetic to Marxism.

No one knows what is Romney's "centre point" that hard ground he will not leave. Why do we not know? Because he has tried to be all things to all people.

 Here is Newt Gingrich's center point.  Listen to Bill Clinton trying to claim Newt Gingrich's success. Note that Clinton starts saying, "After two vetoes . . . . " Ask yourself, "Who was it sending him the legislation that he vetoed twice and  finally signed into law?"  

 Please tell me where my assessment of the late 60 years of Republican Presidential politics is wrong.

Newt may not have the natural likability of Herman Cain, but he has the backbone of Ronald Reagan, the right amount of folksy wit and cunning intelligence and is a true Conservative. NOT a doctrinaire Libertarian or a Radical Right Winger, but a TRUE Conservative. Of the three True Conservatives left in the primary he is the only one who CAN beat Obama in the General Election. Since a Known Moderate CANNOT be elected (Ford, Bush41, Dole, McCain) then in fact he is the ONLY Republican candidate who can and will beat Obama.

Think about it and support Newt.

Piano Butch Plays Some of His Favorite Songs.

I played flute on this recording when I was a kid.

Piano Red
For the history books - Piano Red actually opened for the Beatles using the name "Dr Feelgood." He never had a piano lesson and played from his gut.  Having stood looking over the shoulder of the like of Vladimir Ashkenazy watching them play - I knew that Piano Red had more raw talent than most of the concert artists for whom I've prepared pianos. Ashkenazy, in my opinion played slavishly according to the dots on lines on the page.  Maybe a great thing for a symphony musician in an orchestra, but not so great for a solo artist. And by 1990, I had worked for more than 30 of the top 50 concert artists in the world.

Henry Butler - in the vein of Piano Red.
