America is dead.
The democratic republic that many (too) good people fought and died for is no more, replaced now by a semi-totalitarian government that "wins" elections through massive fraud and where elected officials are no longer accountable for their actions. You don't have to look any further than Hillary Clinton to see that. The Secretary of State (you know, the Department dedicated to Foreign Affairs...Libya counts right?) will be skipping the Congressional hearings on the Benghazi incident in order to "visit friends" in Australia. According to one report, she may even attend a wine tasting event. How nice.
We've reached the point of no return in America, proven to many (including myself) by last weeks "elections." You know, the ones where Obama won certain precincts in places like Philadelphia and Cleveland by an 100% margin. Yeah. Not one person in those places voted for Romney...even by accident. No wonder all those Democrat Elections Supervisors were kicking all Republicans out of those precincts.
And the biggest proof that America is dead is that no one cares. I mean, 4 people lost their lives (2 at least probably unnecessarily) in Benghazi. But with wine to be tasted, why would Hillary need to concern herself with that? She's only probably in line to be the next president. Why would dead Americans matter to her or the majority of Americans? I mean...I didn't know them, so it doesn't matter to me. Now where's my TV guide?? I have WAY more important things to be concerned with than dead Americans and what our leaders have done about it....American Idol is on tonight!

The new Cheka
"Bolshevik Freedom"
Shortly after the October Revolution of 1917 which formed the first Socialist Soviet Union in Russia, Vladimir Lenin created "The Whole-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage," or Cheka, for short. It was the first of a succession of Soviet state security organizations, initially formed to fight against counter-revolutionaries and saboteurs.
Cheka created 5 classifications that those counter-revolutionaries fell into:
1. any civil or military servicemen suspected of working for Imperial Russia;
2. families of officers-volunteers (including children);
3. all clergy;
4. workers and peasants who were under suspicion of not supporting the Soviet government;
5. any other person whose private property was valued at over 10,000 rubles.
At the direction of Lenin, the Cheka performed mass arrests, imprisonments, and executions of "enemies of the people". In this, the Cheka said that they targeted "class enemies" such as the bourgeoisie (the upper-middle class), and members of the clergy. The first organized mass repression began against the libertarians and socialists of Petrograd in April 1918. Over the next few months, 800 were arrested and shot without trial.
Within a month, the Cheka had extended its repression to all political opponents of the communist government, including anarchists and others on the left.
Many victims of Cheka repression were 'bourgeois hostages' rounded up and held in readiness for summary execution in reprisal for any alleged counter-revolutionary act. Lenin's dictum was: that it was better to arrest 100 innocent people rather than to risk one enemy going free. That ensured that wholesale, indiscriminate arrests became an integral part of the system.
The proceeding crackdown on all who opposed, or were accused of opposing, was given the name "Red Terror."
The stated purpose of the Red Terror was to eliminate counter-revolutionaries who belonged to former "ruling classes". Martin Latsis, chief of the Ukrainian Cheka, explained in the newspaper Red Terror:
"Do not look in the file of incriminating evidence to see whether or not the accused rose up against the Soviets with arms or words. Ask him instead to which class he belongs, what is his background, his education, his profession. These are the questions that will determine the fate of the accused. That is the meaning and essence of the Red Terror."
Grigory Zinoviev declared in mid-September 1918: "To overcome of our enemies we must have our own socialist militarism. We must carry along with us 90 million out of the 100 million of Soviet Russia's population. As for the rest, we have nothing to say to them. They must be annihilated."
In short, the Cheka was the power that forcefully attempted to stamp out all political opposition to the new communist government. They policed labor camps; ran the Gulag system; conducted requisitions of food; subjected political opponents to torture and summary execution; and put down rebellions and riots by workers or peasants, and mutinies in the desertion-plagued Red Army. During the Red Terror, they killed between 500,000 and 1,000,000 people.
In America today, our government is changing. We have elected and re-elected our first Marxist president. The same socialistic ideas that were established by Lenin in 1917 Russia are now beginning to be implemented here. The same ideologies of class warfare and uniting the poor against the rich are being spread by our leaders, just as they were by Lenin and the Soviet leaders of 1917. And just as in 1917, there are groups that oppose such socioeconomic changes. However, in today's world, a violent oppression of such opposition like the one instituted by the Russian Cheka would be immediately condemned...especially in a place such as America. Not saying that a future violent oppression won't happen here, but as of now, it would not be tolerated. And so, a new Cheka is needed in order to progress socialism here (and the rest of the "civilized" world).
In America, the Constitution makes suppression harder than in other parts of the world. The First Amendment protects against the type of censorship that was instituted by Lenin early into the Soviet reign that closed down all newspapers critical of the régime and prevented all state papers from writing anything derogatory about the government. The 2nd Amendment protects the people's right to own weapons, which makes violent suppression harder. Again, not saying that those won't be done away with in a future America, but as for now, they still stand to protect against government suppression to opposition.
But today a new Cheka has been formed. It is no longer a physical arm of the government, as it was in Russia. The American Cheka exists directly in the minds of the American people. It's quite brilliant actually. Instead of a quick revolution, like in Russia in 1917, the move towards socialism here in America has been a slow one. Ronald Reagan warned about it 40 years ago when he quoted the Socialist Party candidate Norman Thomas, saying, "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." The slow socialist revolution here in America has also slowly introduced the new Cheka. This new Cheka has been implanted into the very souls of Americans for the past 40 odd years. It started in the schools. The removal of God, prayer, and the Pledge of Allegiance from the public schools has since spread into all aspects of public life in America, slowly building the new Cheka. All aspects of opposition to the socialist movement have been weeded out of our minds over the past 40 years, and now there is a whole generation of people who have been groomed to be part of the new Cheka. It is no longer the government that wields the oppressive power for the "revolution;" it is the people themselves.
Let's revisit those classifications of counter-revolutionaries created by the original Russian Cheka.
1. Any civil or military servicemen suspected of working for Imperial Russia.
In today's America, the Justice Department has classified returning veterans as threats to national security, citing instances of soldiers traumatized by war having mental breakdowns and turning their weapons on the general public. While this occurrence happens rarely, the public has been warned to be wary of all military and ex-military personnel.
2. Families of officers-volunteers (including children).
Most military families (including children) support fully the military and those who are in it and, due to their inner knowledge of war and the importance of our military to our freedom, hold conservative values about patriotism, warfare, and the necessity of a strong and active military. Those ideas are today being labeled as "war-mongering" and a strong military is viewed as unnecessary.
3. All clergy.
Perhaps no other group of people has been as demonized in current America as has the "overtly religious." Organized religion has been deemed "old-fashioned" and even foolish in an ever increasingly secular society. Organized religions' stand against abortion and gay marriage has served as a rallying cry to label all who hold such beliefs as "intolerant extremists." In today's America, religious has become synonymous with intolerant, and so is mocked and railed against.
4. Workers and peasants who were under suspicion of not supporting the Soviet government.
In today's America, all people who are considered a certain social, ethnic, or economic group are expected to support one way of thought...today it's the Democrat way...all the time, no exceptions. With the advent of a black man as that Democrat, that perception is intensified. Any person of a minority race (or any woman) who supported Mitt Romney for President was vilified in the most vilest of ways.
5. Any other person whose private property was valued at over 10,000 rubles.
Barack Obama has introduced the class warfare of Marx to demonize the wealthy in America today. An increasing number of Americans want to "tax the wealthy" and movements such as Occupy Wall Street are instilling the idea that the rich are the problem. It reached such a frenzied point in the campaign season that Mitt Romney was being criticized for being a successful businessman.
The very same groups who were singled out as opponents to socialism in 1917 are being singled out today. The very same people who were targeted by the original Cheka are being targeted by the new Cheka. Although today, the new Cheka will not bust down your door in the middle of the night and haul you off to a gulag or shoot you. The new Cheka, cultivated in American minds for over 40 years, will oppress you verbally, mentally, and emotionally. The new Cheka lives under the mask of tolerance; it's why those claiming to be the most "tolerant" will lash out in the most intolerant manner towards anyone with a different view. It's because they are not really tolerant, they are the Cheka. The new Cheka has been raised in the minds of the populace; it IS the populace. The new Cheka does the same job as the old Cheka, they only do it in a more subtle manner. And they've disguised their true motive so well that the common person now in America is part of the Cheka. From celebrities to media to teachers and professors, the wave of the new Cheka has swept through the American people until it has overtaken the majority.
Now it does it's work, oppressing any who oppose the rise of socialism here in America. It will label you as racist, misogynistic, homophobic, backwoods, old-fashioned, unintelligent, foolish, Islamophobic, extremist, and any other derogatory name it can think of. It will seek to brand you as something so terrible that no one should ever listen to anything you say again. It will seek to silence you, to intimidate you, to isolate you, to abrogate you, to shut you up any way possible. It still follows Lenin's dictum. That's why anyone who would criticize President Obama is called a racist; it would rather label 100 innocent people as racists than let one person free to speak against it's rulers. Wholesale and indiscriminate targeting is still an integral part of the system. The new Cheka does the exact same job as the original Russian Cheka from 1917: to weed out and indiscriminately eliminate any political opposition. And just like Grigory Zinoviev said in 1918, it's goal is to carry the majority into socialism and annihilate the rest. Although this time it won't do it through the force of violence, it will do it through the force of the populace.
That is the new Cheka. This is the new Red Terror.

National Suicide or a Call to Arms?
Great article by Craig Andresen over at The National Patriot.
So…..
Who would have guessed that Americans would enjoy free birth control pills, punishing success, food stamps, welfare, reduced freedoms, a weak national defense, appeasement of Islamists, high unemployment, a staggering and growing national debt, borrowing money from China, jacking up taxes, government control of your healthcare decisions and killing their unborn children to this degree?
Who would have guessed that the American people would just keep digging from the bottom of a mine shaft to nowhere?
What’s the matter America?
Gas prices not high enough yet?
Your share of the national debt hasn’t hit 4 times your annual salary?
The dollar hasn’t been devalued far enough yet to suit you?
Not enough Constitution hating legislators on the Supreme Court yet?
What is it for Christ’s sake???
What’s it gonna take to wake up more than just die-hard engaged conservatives???
The Arab Spring Parade down Main Street of YOUR town?
I mean…Detroit is a rat hole and Dearbornistan is being run by the Muslim Brotherhood and yet, Michigan still votes for socialists.
On the East Coast…New York and New Jersey…people are homeless and those who still have a home don’t have electricity, don’t have heat, can’t buy gas, garbage and debris is everywhere and non union workers are chased out of town but, THEY still vote for MORE government.
The SAME “more government” who isn’t doing a damned thing to help them.
Hey…Jersey…Staten Island…Not thirsty enough yet???
Maybe we just don’t have enough Americans getting killed by terrorists on the other side of the world because the very people who should be protecting them AREN’T and they’re telling those who COULD have to “STAND DOWN!!”
Conservatives have had quite enough thank you very much but…

Inevitable
The Ulsterman Report posted this article about Valerie Jarrett last week. Jarrett, Obama's top adviser (openly called Obama's brain), seemed to believe that Obama's reelection was inevitable. During a visit from one of her representatives to Chicago, an undocumented source spoke of the meeting:
"The part that really stuck out to me was when I overheard the rep say that Jarrett told them, '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. Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.' She was talking directly to about three of them. Sr. staff. And she wasn’t trying to be quiet about it at all. And they were all listening and shaking their heads and smiling while she said it. Pretty creepy.
Why are they so confident about winning next week? We aren’t getting any numbers in the office that has any of us knowing Obama will win. It will be close. Jarrett and her people seem so confident. Why is that? Do you have any information on why she is so confident? I’m worried. Benghazi was supposed to play big this weekend. That is what everybody here was bracing for last week. You could really tell the staffers were freaking out. Now nobody is talking about it. Like it was never a concern. Like it never even happened."
While this amounts to heresay from an unidentified source, and therefore cannot be confirmed, it does, if true, raise some pretty grim questions about Obama's reelection and 2nd term. Again, this may not be true...however, my gut instinct from the beginning was that Obama would be reelected. I believed the movement was too big for those who believe in it to let it fail, and that no amount of fraud or deception would be spared in order to get Obama reelected. If you think it's about one man, then you're sorely mistaken. This movement towards socialism is far bigger and broader than just one man. Obama is just the mouthpiece; the real leaders of the movement are behind the scenes. And those leaders will stop at nothing to change America into what they want it to be. With a people so easily led, the change is inevitable. Like Adolf Hitler said, "How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think."
Obama's reelection isn't all bad though. In the late 1700's, a Scottish professor, Alexander Tyler, wrote about democracy and it's inevitable collapse. He used the past republics of Greece and Rome as examples. He postulated that republics only last about 200-300 years, and that they always collapse in like manner:
"'A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.'
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage."
It was Patrick Henry, in his great "Give me Liberty or Death" speech, that said, "I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past." The past tells us that no great democracy has ever survived. No matter whether we like it or not, America cannot continue to exist as a democratic republic. History proves as much. And so there is no other path than the path towards bondage. It's inevitable. So Obama's reelection is a good thing in that it will hasten that outcome. When, and only when, the majority are aware of that can the people unite and fight for their freedom. In the years leading up to the American Revolution, the population was about 20% Patriots, 20% loyalists, and 60% undecided. Only when the British troops arrived did the majority join the fight for freedom.
Today in America, the majority are deceived and pacified with gifts from the treasury. The slide into bondage is progressing as foreseen. With Obama's reelection, we have taken the final step into dependence. Which means the fight for freedom is one day closer. It's inevitable. And because it's inevitable, I applaud Obama's reelection...because only when the majority begin to suffer the ill effects of socialism will they begin to understand the need for freedom. With Obama's reelection, that will happen sooner rather than later. And since it's inevitable, the sooner it happens the easier it will be to win the fight. Make no mistake; history proves the fight will need to happen. Whether the people will be strong enough to win back America for liberty, I do not know. But I do know that the sooner it happens, the better it will be. It's inevitable, so I'd rather it happen soon while the people are strong enough to win.
Let us now, Patriots, not be ignorant of the past, and therefore, the future. Let us not despair at President Obama's reelection. Let us understand the need for a future revolution, if only one of hearts and minds. Let us be aware that it is the path that we are on, and that it is the only way our children will live in freedom. It is not the future we want for our children, but it IS the future they will have. Today is the day we realize that America can no longer be turned back. There is no other outcome. It is inevitable.

Democrat, Black Panther shenanigans in Philly
The controversy started early in Philadelphia today. The City of Brotherly Love was anything but as Republican poll watchers were removed from dozens of polling places this morning. The Philadelphia GOP is reporting that court appointed Minority Inspectors (Republicans) were being thrown out of polling locations in several Wards. These Inspectors are being told by the Head Judges of Elections that they are not allowed at these sites, and some were removed, one forcibly. The Philly GOP went to a judge who issued a court order allowing these officials into the polling sites, and some have been escorted back into the sites by police. It's being blamed on confusion and a mistake with the list of Inspectors. Odd the list only kept Republicans off...
Also, members of the New Black Panther Party were once again seen outside voting sites in some Philadelphia Wards...although without the billy clubs this time. They have said they are only there to prevent voter suppression, not to cause it.
As a Pennsylvania voter, these tactics are disappointing and disgusting and I pray they don't affect the outcome. I'm sure glad Obama has got America on the right path....

Obamacare: A Line in the Sand
Well today's the day. The polls here on the East Coast just opened. Today, hundreds of local and state races will be decided, to go along with the presidential and Congressional races. But how can one decide on two seemingly similar candidates? Well this year offers an unusually simple way to help decide if a candidate is for bigger government control or less: Obamacare. What a candidate says really doesn't matter at this time of year, because what they say may not be a good indicator of what they will do if elected. (See Obama 2008; debt reduction) However Obamacare is a main topic this year...and it offers a nice line in the sand. If you support Obamacare, you probably support a bigger government controlling individuals lives; if you oppose it, you probably think people should have more control over their life than the government does.
In a time when it can be hard to determine what candidate represents you best...that choice offers a window into the soul, so to speak. I've noticed here in Pennsylvania that every candidate up for election has made a distinction which side of that decision they stand on, from candidates for U.S. Senate right down to state attorney general. In a busy and complicated season, it sure makes voting decisions a lot easier. That alone doesn't constitute how an official will behave if elected...but it's a clear line on which way they will lean. So if you plan on voting today, make sure to find out what a candidate thinks about Obamacare...it may be all you need to know about who wants the government to run your life and who doesn't!
Where I live in PA:
U.S. Senate: Tom Smith opposes Obamacare / Bob Casey helped get it passed
U.S. House of Representatives 11th District: Lou Barletta opposes Obamacare / Gene Stilip supports it
State Senate 15th District: John McNally opposes Obamacare / Rob Teplitz supports it
State Attorney General: David Freed opposes Obamacare / Kathleen Kane supports it (and says she'll remove PA from the lawsuit against the federal government concerning it)

Simply Put, Now is A Time for Choosing
There is so much hoopla when it comes to political elections, that it can be hard to know which candidate will actually serve us best. Most people look for minute differences between candidates in order to make their decision. And sometimes, you can't be sure what you're going to get from your candidate of choice once they reach office. But not this year. This year, the candidates are dramatically different, mostly because their ideologies are drastically different. Honestly, this election is not between two men. It isn't between Republican and Democrat. It isn't between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. It's between ideas...two very different and dramatic ideas.
Simply put, this election is between capitalism and communism.
Capitalism is what America has been founded on, and what it's prospered on. Communism is what has driven millions into a life of despair and darkness. All you need to do is to look at past and present socialist nations to see that. The USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, and even parts of Europe today, with it's softer socialism, are lands filled with hopelessness, despair, anger, and frustration. Socialism has never worked to bring about a peaceful, successful communism. It never has in all of human history. It never will. It can only cause strife, division, poverty, totalitarianism, and depression. Patrick Henry said that one can only judge the future by the past. The past tells us that communism/Marxism/ socialism...statism in whatever form only serves to bring people into bondage. This is the choice before America in this election. And while the path towards socialism will not be reversed with this one election, it can at least be halted. Tomorrow we can prevent America from being driven over that ideological cliff in the next few years by voting Barack Obama out of office and electing Mitt Romney. Then, and only then, can we begin to pull ourselves back up and out of the grasp of big government, big taxes, and big control over our lives. Then we can begin to elect officials on every level who will help to secure our liberties instead of erode them. We must be strong, and we must be vigilant, for the spectre of big government will always seek to overwhelm us. But tomorrow, we can stem the tide and we can stop the bleeding. And we can secure the American Dream, at least for a few years more.
Now is a time for choosing.
Simply put, this election is between capitalism and communism.
Capitalism is what America has been founded on, and what it's prospered on. Communism is what has driven millions into a life of despair and darkness. All you need to do is to look at past and present socialist nations to see that. The USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, and even parts of Europe today, with it's softer socialism, are lands filled with hopelessness, despair, anger, and frustration. Socialism has never worked to bring about a peaceful, successful communism. It never has in all of human history. It never will. It can only cause strife, division, poverty, totalitarianism, and depression. Patrick Henry said that one can only judge the future by the past. The past tells us that communism/Marxism/ socialism...statism in whatever form only serves to bring people into bondage. This is the choice before America in this election. And while the path towards socialism will not be reversed with this one election, it can at least be halted. Tomorrow we can prevent America from being driven over that ideological cliff in the next few years by voting Barack Obama out of office and electing Mitt Romney. Then, and only then, can we begin to pull ourselves back up and out of the grasp of big government, big taxes, and big control over our lives. Then we can begin to elect officials on every level who will help to secure our liberties instead of erode them. We must be strong, and we must be vigilant, for the spectre of big government will always seek to overwhelm us. But tomorrow, we can stem the tide and we can stop the bleeding. And we can secure the American Dream, at least for a few years more.
Now is a time for choosing.

Obama says "we" knew recovery would take more than one term
At a campaign rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin yesterday, President Obama has, once again, tried to erase history. (He seems to be doing a lot of that lately.) While talking about the economy and his plan for recovery, the president had this to say:
"Now, we knew from the beginning that our work would take more than one year, or even one term -- because let's face it, the middle class was getting hammered long before the financial crisis hit."
Wait...what? "We" knew it would take more than one term to fix the economy, did "we"? Did "we" also forget about this:
So, once again, (and I can't stress that phrase enough!) President Obama has said one thing....and now is saying another. He tells us that "we" knew from the beginning. So then, ONCE AGAIN, either the president really did know something from the beginning (ahem, Benghazi) and intentionally straight LIED to the American people...or he's not very good at this whole president thing. You decide which, America.
My lord, I can't believe people are still supporting this man.....

"Voter fraud doesn't happen here!"
Or so the left-wing media wants you to believe. Yet, already in the past few weeks we've had more stories that stir up the debate than I can shake a stick at. And you know I can shake a lot of sticks!
The first story that caught my attention was about fraudulent letters sent to Florida Republicans in 18 different counties. The letters "inform" the recipients that there is a problem with their voting registration and they are therefore ineligible to vote. The letters appear to come from the office of the Florida elections supervisor, but were actually sent from Washington state. The absence of a return address was a red flag to some recipients who alerted the authorities. The FBI is now investigating.
While this is not linked to any official group, it is a clear attempt to deceive people...Republicans...into not voting.
The second story was about voting machines recording votes for Barack Obama when the voter actually chose Mitt Romney's name. In North Carolina, at the Bur-Mil Park polling location in Guilford County, Sher Coromalis was just one voter who encountered this problem. She chose Romney; it entered a vote for Obama. She tried again; again it entered a vote for Obama. Finally on the third try, it correctly entered the vote for Romney. For those counting at home: that's two votes for Obama, one for Romney. Guilford County Board of Elections Director George Gilbert told MyFox8 that such problems arise every election and can be resolved after machines are re-calibrated. "It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just a machine that needs to be corrected,” Gilbert said. While I do believe bugs like this will happen from time to time with voting machines, it's pretty interesting all the "errors" work in the Democrat's favor. Similar stories are coming out of Nevada and Ohio as well.
Also in North Carolina, Democrats have been caught violating state laws in order to get more votes for Obama. Two vans of students who worked at the North Carolina Job Corps were transported to the Swain County voting location in order to cast their votes. The problem was that the vans were Swain County Transit Vehicles, which are funded by the federal government. The Hatch Act states that federal employees "may not engage in political activity while using a government vehicle." Not a major violation, but breaking a law nonetheless. Not to mention the numerous reports about possible illegals being bused to polling stations across the country...
North Carolina (aside from having a lot of fraud) also has a lot of old people casting their votes. And I mean OLD people. NC voter rolls show that the Tar Heel State has 2,214 voters that are OVER 110 years old. That is A LOT of old people! Shockingly (not), most of these voters are Democrats. The Carolina Transparency project did a review of voter rolls this year and have found that there are 631 registered Democrats that are 112 and older! Some have already voted. Also two people OVER 150 (YES, 150!!!) have already cast their ballots! One in Gaston County is registered as 154 years old while one in Granville County is listed as an astonishing 160 years old! To give an idea of the magnitude of that, the oldest recorded age is 122 and the oldest disputed age is 138! We better get Guinness to North Carolina fast...they've got TWO Democrats who beat that by a long shot!
Officials say that isn't necessarily evidence of fraud, and that it may just be evidence of poor information gathering. Um, ok...if you say so.
The most damning evidence, however, comes out of Virginia from Congressman Jim Moran's son, Patrick. Patrick Moran headed up his father's campaign. Past tense. Not too long ago, Project Veritas (the group that helped bust ACORN by documenting their attempts at fraud) secretly recorded video of Patrick Moran telling the undercover reporter how to get away with casting multiple votes under different names. He told the reporter to fake utility bills and to make sure the people who's names they were planning to vote under were definitely not going to vote by contacting them pretending to be pollsters. The worst part of this is the ease with which Moran offers this advice. There's no reticence, no guilt...it seems like this is just another day at the office for Mr. Moran. That attitude leads me to believe voter fraud is not only going on...but that it's become no big deal for some politicians. And if that's their attitude, then how can you deny this isn't a normal occurrence? Patrick Moran has since resigned from his father's campaign, which released a statement saying Patrick's actions were "an error in judgement." He said he was only joking. Isn't it nice to be a politician (or politician's son in this case)? You can get caught directly trying to orchestrate a felony, and then simply claim it was a joke and an "error in judgement" and get away scot free!
Some of these stories will turn out to be just coincidences...others, not so much. What is true, though, is that we as a nation can (and should) no longer dismiss stories of voter fraud as pure mularky, as Joe Biden would put it. If we, as America, begin to enact the same kind of dubious voting processes as Russia or Venezuela...then our Republic is all but over. And if we fail to protect the integrity of the voting process, that's exactly what's going to happen....if it isn't already. So next time someone tells you that voter fraud doesn't happen here, channel your inner Joe and tell 'em: "That's mularky!"

Is Pennsylvania in play?
For the last few weeks, we in Pennsylvania have excitedly watched the poll numbers of Barack Obama go down...down...down. The closer we get to the election, the more the polls reflect a shift away from Obama and towards Mitt Romney. In Pennsylvania, a state that hasn't gone for a Republican since 1988, this signals a dramatic slide...one that I hope is indicative of the rest of the country.
In light of these numbers, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are headed to the great state of PA this upcoming weekend to try and secure the upset. Romney will visit Philadelphia (the bastion of liberalism in PA) Sunday, and Ryan will be in Harrisburg on Saturday. Since Harrisburg isn't all that far from where I live, I'm contemplating going to see him. Of course it's at the airport and you still have to go through airport security, so I'm weighing whether seeing Ryan is worth the physical molestation I'll have to endure from the TSA. But I digress.
Will Pennsylvania go for Romney? Probably not, as the most populous cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh control the vote and they vote exclusively Democrat. Insert annoyance about the electoral collage here. But the fact that the poll numbers are so close and people are declaring the state a toss up when it hasn't been tossed to a Republican in 20 years is a good sign that the reign of Obama may be nearing it's end. If PA is considered a toss up, then regular toss ups like Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina should be leaning strongly for Romney. And that means the election should be as well. For America's sake, let's hope that's true.
