I use a “cult classic”

Merle Norman developed its powder base in 1931. I discovered it about 30 years ago. It’s expensive (but goes a long way since I don’t use much), so I always put it on my Christmas list.

The Democrats’ War against Women

Occasionally, I still see references to the horrors of back alley abortions and the deaths of thousands of women--even saw it in an Obama TV political ad. It's a myth spread by the pro-abortion crowd to get Roe v. Wade passed 40 years ago. They knew it was a lie, but they thought their cause was worth it. (Bernard Nathanson, M.D. Aborting America. Doubleday, 1979, p 193; Marian Faux. Roe v. Wade: The Untold Story of the Landmark Supreme Court Decision That Made Abortion Legal. MacMillan Publishers, 1990.) There is a higher death rate for women in childbirth if there was a previous abortion; there is a higher suicide rate among women who have aborted; the National Cancer Institute has recently reversed itself on the link between breast cancer and abortion, after years of assuring women it wasn't a problem. Oral contraceptives also increase breast cancer. But in any case, abortion is almost 100% fatal for the baby (some survive) over half of which are females, and 40% black. The War against Women is not being waged by the Republican pro-lifers.

Voter intimidation lives in Ohio!

In the pre-Eisenhower era, Democrats kept blacks from the polls with a variety of tricks backed by the federal and state governments. Now they are keeping citizens looking at public registration rolls in Ohio from reporting deceased, out of state, and residence errors to the county board of elections through intimidation. True The Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht released a statement regarding the Ohio Voter Integrity Project's submission of Citizen Challenges, a process outlined in Ohio Election Code by which a registered voter can file an official request with their Board of Elections to review irregular voter registrations.

However, having clean rolls, terrifies the Democrats and even a few county entrenched Republicans, and these citizens, doing what they are legally allowed to do, submit challenges to the board of elections, are being demonized in the press and by people in both parties!

Says, Engelbrecht, "These citizens trusted that their counties would thoughtfully consider their submissions and either grant or deny their findings, as stated in the protocol outlined in Ohio Election Code, which should have resulted in deceased voters being removed, duplicate entries being revised, and incorrect addresses being corrected.

“Many counties did make corrections to their registration records. In some cases, county boards rejected the challenges based on updated information or other internal reasons that were unknown to the citizens at the time of filing. . . their well-intentioned efforts were spun and recast as villainous; their names were splayed across the front pages of their local papers; West Coast reporters showed up on their lawns and stalked them for comment, suddenly they found themselves at the center of a national spectacle. They trusted in the system and were betrayed at every turn.”

Monday Memories—8th grade

This was taken on the steps of the elementary school in Mt. Morris, Illinois, now gone, for the town newspaper, in spring 1953.  I’m about fourth row from the top, second from the left, standing next to Glenn Orr, who apparently hadn’t had his growth spurt yet, and Kay Alter.

The old folks at home

Actually, the photo was taken at m sister-in-law’s home.

Can’t imagine how Ohioans can support Obama!

But we do have a lot of citizens who don’t know what powers their lights and air conditioning.

It makes perfect sense, says S.E. Cupp

I get why President Obama’s campaign spokespeople say they are “shocked” by Mitt Romney’s assertion that 47 percent of the electorate see themselves as victims, want handouts and think they are entitled to government money.

I understand why liberals find the comments, made at a secretly filmed, closed-door meeting with big-money donors, offensive. And it’s very clear why the media is seizing on Romney’s words as . . . cue scary music . . . the “end of his campaign.”

But the truth is, Romney stole an Obama tactic — labeling Democratic voters victims — right out from under him.

Bloodmoney—Abortion is all about money

Tonight at 5 p.m. EWTN will show Bloodmoney, a documentary about abortion and Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the U.S. and solid backer of President Obama.

From Business Wire:

Bloodmoney is a Documentary (now available on DVD) that exposes the greed-driven politics of the abortion industry. Despite claims that the pro-abortion movement exists to help women, in reality it is little more than a vast money-making enterprise.

Narrated by Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, this film exposes the truth behind an industry that has harmed untold numbers of people and taken the lives of 50 million innocent children. In the film Dr. King speaks not only from the perspective of a post abortive woman, but as a civil rights leader about the injustice of abortion.

“Bloodmoney brings startling revelation to the forefront of the pro-life battle and exposes the true agenda behind the abortion industry. This film is truly part of the plan to set the captives free,” - Dr. Alveda King, director of African American Outreach, Priests for Life.

The film also features interviews from Carol Everett a former abortion clinic owner, as well as from pro-life leaders such as Frank Pavone, Joe Scheidler and others. This documentary film examines abortion in America, from the inception of Planned Parenthood to Roe v. Wade and the denial of when life begins. The makers also look at the profitability of the abortion clinics that keep this barbaric practice going. Finally, it shows the devastating effects abortion can have on the women that have them, and the continuing fight to save the lives of innocent babies.

The DVD is available online at Bloodmoneyfilm.com and the producers of the film are also licensing public screenings so that the truth behind the abortion industry can be exposed for what it is.

Lyndon Johnson muzzled the voice of the church

The ban on churches participating in the election process has nothing to do with the First Amendment or Jeffersonian principles of separation of church and state.  It is based on a provision in the 1954 tax reform act prohibiting all tax-exempt organizations from supporting or opposing political candidates.  It grew out of Lyndon Johnson’s effort to end McCarthyism and to win reelection to the Senate in 1954 and was specifically directed at right-wing organizations.  Although he was particularly worried about specific organizations that opposed him (they weren’t churches), the way the act was worded caused the muzzling of churches, which up to that time had had freedom to speak out about elections.

Paula’s list of excuses

Paula Priesse has collected a list of excuses for Obama’s failures in the debate.

1) Al Gore – The “altitude” (Coach – “We only lost because game was in Denver”)

2) Left wing blogs – “Cheating Romney looked at hankie” (Jeopardy Winner Scandal – Answers on Kleenex)

3) Obama college supporters in Madison – “Unfair, Obama couldn’t use teleprompter” (Students Strike Over No Cheating Policy)

4) NY Times Charles Blow – Obama just lost on “style” (WA Generals Lose to Globetrotters on Style Points Only)

5) Obama on Friday – Romney in debate was like “Dancing With The Stars” or “Extreme Makeover”

6) Jim Lehrer (I’m adding that one), even though he gave Obama 4 minutes more than Romney some leftists said it was his fault in not controlling the debate more.

Why does the left defend Big Bird—he’s wealthier than Mitt Romney!

Obama was never constitutional law professor, never offered tenure

“According to longtime University of Chicago law professor Richard Epstein, Obama was never actually offered a tenured faculty position. Nor, for that matter, was he ever a “constitutional law professor.”

“I have no idea where Jodi [Kantor] got her story [2008]” about the tenure offer, said Epstein, adding that he immediately wrote Kantor to tell her she was wrong.

“Tenure offers require votes from faculties approved by the provost, and need a scholarly output. He was approached with the possibility of an entry level position without tenure, but it never got to the faculty for want of interest on his side,” Epstein confirmed via email.

Epstein was the law school’s interim dean during 2001. His account contradicts a claim Kantor has repeatedly made, that a tenure offer came from Dean Daniel Fischel.

Another campaign stop in California

Saul Alinsky is considered the founder of modern protest tactics and the father of community organizing. He became the topic of Hillary Clinton’s college thesis, a role model for Barack Obama and a mentor to labor activist Cesar Chavez.  President Obama will go to California to dedicate a memorial to Chavez. This way in one trip he can pump up the Hispanic vote and pander to his far left wing base which lately has been very unhappy with him for  trying to appear “centrist“ for the campaign.

Wayne Dupree, proud Conservative, black and free, news aggregator on line

“This is Wayne Dupree, Newsninja2012. I am and have been committed to exposing the Democrats in a way that has been frowned upon by some conservatives and cheered by many more. When I completely left the Democratic Plantation in 2008 during the Democratic Primary, I felt liberated and free to a point that I wanted to share it with everyone.

Since that time, I have gone stealth mode and really learned more history than I ever did in school and how much I was lied to by the Democratic Party. To have that sense of what I knew and that it was fabricated to get my vote only angered me to the point I had to begin something to inform everyone else.

I feel it’s our responsibility as conservatives/republicans to fight back against the liberal hate machine and meet them head on with like-minded strength and dedication. I also want to expose the media for the dirt bag politics that they employ on a daily basis and how they rip us off by not giving up the correct news to be well-informed voters.

I am the proud son for a Sunday School Superintendent that loves the Lord and made it possible for me to be who I am today. I spent 8 years in the US Air Force and I have been in the public sector ever since trying to build up my knowledge.”

The Abortion President

40% for blacks who are 11% of the population. Now who’s the racist?

Update: “Not only did Obama tout abortion at a campaign event in Virginia today [October 5], but virtually every speaker at the event made abortion promotion the centerpiece of their message as the talked to a less-sizable-than-desired crowd. The Weekly Standard has more on the abortion fest before the smallish audience of about 2,000.”

Ohio in the Fall

If you aren’t entitled to success in America, where can you go?

The President of Everything Redistributive and Food Stamps has declared:

“This country doesn’t just succeed when just a few are doing well at the top. It succeeds when the middle class gets bigger. Our economy doesn’t grow from the top down — it grows from the middle out. We don’t believe that anybody is entitled to success in this country,” said Obama. “But we do believe in opportunity. We believe in a country where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded, and everybody is getting a fair shot and everybody is doing their fair share and everybody is playing by the same rules.”

He needs to reread history.  Our government also isn’t from the top down as he keeps bloating and expanding it.  It’s we the people, sir.

The All American Quarter Horse Congress

Here in Columbus we can visit/see a spectacular event for the next three weeks that brings in millions to our economy--the All American Quarter Horse Congress. As of mid-September  the 2012 Quarter Horse Congress had a 9 percent increase in regular entries over 2011, with 18,268 entries, compared to 16,742 at this time last year. This number doesn’t account for late entries made during the event.

It's almost laughable to imagine what would have happened to this money maker begun in 1967 by a small county horse organization if the federal government had imposed on it the subjective ideas of "distributive justice" or "sustainability" or "affirmative action." Yes, it is subject to probably thousands of rules from codes for barns and food safety to labor laws, but the government didn't build it, can't build it, but Americans working together can. Load up the car--the ticket price is per carload.
