Obama Twists and Shouts


 
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC)
said this:
“I have very little tolerance for people who tell me that they graduate with $200,000 of debt or even $80,000 of debt because there’s no reason for that,” Rep. Foxx said in a radio interview.
“We live in an opportunity society and people are forgetting that. I remind folks all the time that the Declaration of Independence says ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’ You don’t sit on your butt and have it dumped in your lap,” she added.

Here's what Obama said she said:
“I want to read a quote. This is from a Republican congresswoman. I didn’t really understand this. I’m quoting her,” the president said.
“She said that she has ‘very little tolerance for people who tell me they graduate with debt because there’s no reason for that.’ She said, students who rack up student loan debt are just sitting on their butts, having opportunity ‘dumped in your lap.’”
 I think this is a good example as to how people like Obama twist other peoples words to get the reaction they want from whomever they're talking to. It can be as simple as leaving a word or two out, or adding a word or two. Changes everything don't it?

SPARK Thinks Parents Are Stupid

     I have 3 children. My oldest is a 14 year old girl. When she was little she liked the dolls and "girly" stuff but as she got older she discovered bugs, trees and the great outdoors. She decided, on her own, that she did not like the "girly" stuff. She hated the whole pink and frilly thing. It's just not her thing, although we do reach a compromise when it comes to family dinners and such. Her decision.
     My middle child is a 9 year old boy. He had the choice between the dolls from his older sister and typical boy stuff and he chose the latter. His decision.
     Now, my youngest is also a girl. She's 6 years old. She had the choice between her older sister's dolls and her older brother's LEGOs and cars and baseball and she chose the former. She is ALL about pink and frills and ballet lessons. She's a total girly girl. Her decision.
     It's all about choices. SPARK claims to be about giving children choices and options yet they are petitioning LEGO in protest of their new line of LEGOs. They feel it is too stereotypical towards girls and the role of women. We the parents make the choice. The children make the choice. If a girl wants to play with dolls and her easy bake oven she has that choice. If a boy wants to play with cars and guns he has that choice. Boys will be boys and girls will be girls, they can be whomever they want to be, they have that choice. SPARK does not decide what choices we have. SPARK believes that we the parents are too stupid to make our own choices. They think they can make them for us by deciding what products are put on the shelf.
     The consumer will decide what products will be put on the shelf simply by buying or not buying whatever a company is offering. I was talking to my teenager's friend this morning and she said she doesn't like that LEGO changed the look of the people in these new sets. They're smaller and the hands are different. If she were into typical girl stuff, that would be the problem she has with LEGO.
     Groups like SPARK want to limit our choices according to what they believe are the "right" choices. I will decide what is right for my child. My child will decide who he or she wants to be. No groups or organizations or governments will make those decisions for us.

NBC, ABC, CNN: Oopsies! Didn't Mean To Start a Race War!

So what do we have?
We have NBC admitting to doctoring a 911 tape. UPDATE: NBC fires producer who doctored 911 call. 
We have ABC(and CBS),which initially reported that Zimmerman did not have any injuries noticeable in the police video now saying that they have enhanced the tapes and sure enough there are gashes on the back of his head.
Now we have CNN, which initially reported that Zimmerman can be heard calling Martin a F#$CKIN C#%N now saying they have enhanced the audio and it does not appear that he said that at all.
Oopsies.

What do have in Florida?
We have Black Militias forming.
We have The New Black Panthers putting a bounty on Zimmerman's head.
We have Al Sharpton calling for "civil disobedience" if "justice" is not done.
We have Farrakhan....
We have black teens beating up an old white man in the name of Trayvon.
We have the CBC introducing a resolution stating that this was a racist murder.
Of course, we have the Democrats.....wearing hoodies on the floor, calling for more gun control, blaming Republicans and Conservatives for the shooting...

"Without this racial component, without these Fake Media reports, you don't have a racial story here. These three media reports are the only reason we're talking about a racial story. That and the fact that the race industry saw an opportunity and jumped into it......the entire foundation of this story has now been blown up across three networks, by their own admission, after the fact, long after all the damage was done." - Rush Limbaugh

It scares the hell out of me that so many people, or should I say sheeple can be so manipulated.

I had many friends on Facebook voice their outrage and much more when they first heard these reports. I posited the question today of "what do you think now that the stories were wrong?" Haven't got an answer yet. The main stream media is practicing the art of race baiting and flame fanning and quite obviously working in tandem with the White House. 

It scares the hell out of me and it's going to get people killed.

Oopsies. We didn't mean to start a race war.
Ya, you did.
