BOB HALL'S RANDOM THOUGHTS FOR JUNE 2013

Random Thoughts for June, 2013

Robert A. Hall

www.tartanmarine.blogspot.com

Based on thousands of requests—okay, maybe four—I’m working on making my collection of Random Thoughts since 2008 available in book form. Stay tuned.

With the IRS Scandal, the AP phone records scandal, the Fast and Furious gun running scandal, the Benghazi scandal, the Pigford scandal, the war on Libya without Congressional authorization, now increasingly shown to have been a disaster, and others, I think you could build a fair case for Obama’s impeachment. But it’s not worth doing until you have 20 Democrat senate votes for it. That will not happen. If you don’t have the votes, it is likely to help him, as it did Clinton at the time (which I predicted). And Democrats are not going to face the wrath of black constituents and riots in the cities if he is removed. Unless they have video evidence of Obama murdering someone, or selling secrets to al Qaeda, no chance. Maybe not then.

TIME TO KICK THE UN OUT OF AMERICA - SUPPORT HR 25

It's High Time to 'Get US out!' of the UN

Fifty years of JBS warnings about the UN are coming true.

At the founding meeting of The John Birch Society in 1958, Robert Welch warned of a plan by our political elites to surrender American sovereignty to international organizations, such as the United Nations:

A part of that plan, of course, is to induce the gradual surrender of American sovereignty, piece by piece and step by step, to various international organizations -- of which the United Nations is the outstanding but far from the only example....

Just a few years later the JBS established its signature action project, "Get US out! of the United Nations," with the longrange goal of creating sufficient understanding about the UN to enable congressional action to end our membership in the UN.

Now fast-forward to the present. On May 28, CQ News reported that "Former Sen. John Kerry’s appointment as secretary of State has given supporters of the Law of the Sea treaty hope that he will revive a longstanding campaign for ratification...." 

OREGON HAS GONE NUTS!

A woman in Oregon called 911 to report her ex breaking in and was told, "no assistance available."

Now:

War Veteran Arrested For Firing Warning Shot At Wanted Felon Trying To Break Into His Home 

ILLINOIS TEACHER REPRIMANDED FOR TEACHING U.S. CONSTITUTION

ALERT: A high school teacher in Illinois has been given an official reprimand and had his pay docked... for advising students of their Constitutional rights before taking a school survey on their behavior. 

YOU READ THAT RIGHT -- John Dryden, an educator at Batavia High School, was disciplined by the school's administration AND by the Batavia School Board for "unprofessional conduct" -- because he did his job and taught his students the facts about the U.S. Constitution! Check out this report from Reason:

A high school social studies teacher in Batavia, Illinois, faces disciplinary action for informing students of their Fifth Amendment rights in connection with a survey asking about illegal drug use. The survey, ostensibly aimed at assessing the needs of students at Batavia High School, was distributed on April 18. After picking up the survey forms from his mailbox about 10 minutes before his first class of the day, John Dryden noticed that they had students' names on them and that they asked about drinking and drug use, among other subjects. Dryden, who had just finished teaching a unit on the Bill of Rights, worried that students might feel obliged to incriminate themselves -- an especially ticklish situation given the police officer stationed at the school. Since there was no time to confer with administrators, he says, he decided to tell his students that they did not have to complete the forms if doing so involved admitting illegal behavior.

SEN DEAN HELLER IN NA BI-PARTISAN EFFORT TO ASSIST VETERANS

Heller, Murray Introduce Bill to Assist Veteran Children

(WASHINGTON, DC) – U.S. Senators Dean Heller (R-NV) and Patty Murray (D-WA) introduced the Creating A Reliable Environment (CARE) for Veterans’ Dependents Act last week, a bill designed to ensure that children of homeless veterans are eligible for services provided to that veteran by VA funded facilities.

“It’s particularly important during these financially difficult times to remember that the children of our nation’s veterans are also suffering. Just because a veteran parent falls on tough times should never mean that their dependent is turned away for help,” said Senator Dean Heller. “I am proud to introduce this bill with Senator Murray that gives veterans the respect they deserve and helps ensure that these children’s futures are full of opportunity.”

A CONGA LINE OF CROOKS

NOTE: As you read this we are travelling to Moore, Oklahoma with relief supplies. Thanks for the generous support!

Crook—“One who makes a living by dishonest methods.

I don’t know if America has ever seen a greater cabal of crooks than those we see occupying positions of powers in this nation.

There was a day when the idea of leadership carried with it an understanding that any, and all, leadership would be recognizable first and foremost by its honesty. Leadership and honesty were synonymous.

It was like a marine and courage, a Hollywood starlet and beauty, and a Doctor’s concern for the patient.

What was that old song my Mom used to sing to me…

“Love and marriage, Love and marriage. Go together like a horse and carriage. This I tell ya, brother. You can’t have one without the other.”

Yep. There was a day when you could not be a leader if you were dishonest.

Well, just like love and marriage have been divorced, honesty and leadership have under gone a legal disillusion as well. In order to be a success in today’s culture you have to be a crook.

IRS And MSNBC Team Up To Crush Conservatives As Preacher Is Caught In The Crosshairs

The IRS’s scandalous snooping into the inner workings of Tea Party groups has exposed an erie alliance between the government and big-media groups such as MSNBC. As the American public reels from Congressional hearings about a KGB-style IRS that asks even what conservatives are praying about, the specter of a similar assault by the mainstream [...]

PRO-ABORTION CROWD AT WORK DESTROYING BABIES - THIS IS SINFUL

WARNING: Horribly graphic information follows. Please do not share with children.

Dear Conservatives, 

I imagine that you have seen the recent, almost daily stomach wrenching revelations of depravity in the abortion industry. 

Just the day after the conclusion of the infamous Gosnell "House of Horrors" trial, nurses at a Houston, Texas abortion clinic revealed that the abortionist for whom they worked had executed scores of born-alive babies with surgical instruments and at times WITH HIS BARE HANDS. 

You see, the sad thing is that Gosnell's story is not an anomaly, nor is it new. 

These butchers have been around for a long, long time and are found all over the country. 

Take for example, in Hialeah FL the "A GYN Diagnostic Center" which sits innocuously in a strip mall, with a busy pizzeria and a day care center next door.

CAN ONE IMAGINE WILL TRAVIS AND DAVY CROCKETT SURRENDERING THEIR GUNS?

By Chuck Baldwin
May 30, 2013NewsWithViews.com

Pressing events in the country, namely, Barack Obama and Dianne Feinstein’s attempted gun confiscation proposals, made it necessary for me to devote my column to specifically addressing that issue. Accordingly, the anniversary of the fall of the Alamo passed without my annual tribute. I will rectify that with today’s column. Plus, the story of the Alamo only augments the need for strict adherence to the Second Amendment and the rejection of Obama and Feinstein’s Machiavellian gun-control measures.

It was on March 6, 1836, that the Alamo fell. For more than 13 days, 186 brave and determined patriots withstood Santa Anna’s seasoned army of over 4,000 troops. To a man, the defenders of that mission fort knew they would never leave those ramparts alive. They had several opportunities to leave and live. Yet, they chose to fight and die. How foolish they must look to this generation of spoiled Americans.

GAYS IN THE MILITARY ARE TRYING TO DESTROY ALL MORALE!

8,500 Military MEN SEXUALLY ABUSED BY GAY MEMBERS!

The military culture of proper conduct, sharp spit & polish military appearance, respect for the dignity of the individual, professionalism in interpersonal dealings, and the respect of the individual has been dramatically altered because of the epidemic of sexual assaults against young male recruits persists daily; the suicides rate of young male recruits is nearly one a day and is continuing to increase.  At the end of the work day, when the "lights out" order is given aboard ships at sea, to be observed in shipboard living compartments and on military bases, to be observed in military barracks worldwide, it has been reported that each sexual assaults on young recruits and the sexual relations between consenting gay men take place---making military living quarter's a very unstable place.  The one place that military personnel always thought they had safe refuge/home from the daily military routines and orders of their superiors, has turned into a frightening place for young straight military recruits from Middle America.  Why did the Obama Administration put 98% of the straight men who want to serve our country at risk, to give 2% of the gay men the right to abuse others?  President Clinton understood the effect having openly gay military personnel serve would have on good military order, unit cohesion, unit moral, and "Combat Effectiveness", so he established the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy for the US Armed Forces that worked well and let everyone, gays and straight men, serve their country side by side.  We have all had gay military men and women under our command, who were dedicated and hardworking military personnel, and they were treated with respect.

PETITION TO DEFUND OBAMACARE NOW!

54% of the Public Opposes ObamaCare

Congress Should Use Its Power of the Purse 
To Defund ObamaCare NOW!

According to a new CNN/ORC Internationalpoll released Monday, a majority of Americans still oppose the Affordable Care Act—ObamaCare—President Barack Obama's signature health care reform law.

The poll shows that 54 percent of respondents oppose Obamacare.

Sign the Petition

Tell Congress to use its power of the purse to 
DEFUND OBAMACARE NOW!

Republicans, who overwhelmingly oppose ObamaCare, control the U.S. House of Representatives.  All the House needs to do to put a stake through the heart of ObamaCare is simply refuse to appropriate funds that are essential to operating the national takeover of health care, and its implementation will grind to a halt.

Hey Rush... Noticed yesterday that, unpatriotically, you still ran (and made money running) the lying Rubio Amnesty Bill Ad. However, the copy used in the pitch seemed different..which would mean that the ad wasn't that effective for your NY Metro market audience. And the real polls are clear: 75% or more of pro-USA Americans are against amnesty and illegal immigration. What about you?

Comment: Even before this happened, someone estimated that "our audience" (our readership lists and theirs, 3 levels down) was more than MSNBC anyway.  Now it's a slam-dunk.

From: Devvy......Shame on the Catholic Church. I would say the same if it were Methodists, Baptists or whatever denomination. Those Catholic Bishops are pushing for open borders, making a mockery of U.S. citizenship and supporting liars, cheats and thieves breaking our immigration laws with impunity. They're fighting to import more poverty, crime and unskilled workers. Is this what regular folks who attend mass on Sunday mean for their donation to go for? Stealing more of our jobs, resources and rewarding crime? Perhaps the IRS should look at their tax exempt status.

With news Wednesday morning that Michelle Bachmann won’t be running for re-election in 2014, the left has turned their sights quickly to another target: Ted Cruz.  Not that they weren’t already focused on him.  The left has been foaming at the mouth over Cruz since he boldly stepped on the scene and refused to play by their crooked rules.  Bachmann’s exit, however, has introduced a new fervor on the left against Cruz and they’ve taken no time to come at him from every angle. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
