Imagine that, waiting until right after the election to continue their war on American energy. But sure, he’s gonna do all he can to make us energy independent.

Sigh.

BREITBART – Just two days after President Obama’s re-election, the Obama Interior Department announced a plan to shut down 1.6 million acres of federal land to oil shale development. The land had originally been slated for drilling under President George W. Bush.

“By significantly reducing the acreage of wilderness potentially available for leasing, Secretary Salazar is laying out a creative, thoughtful and more responsible approach in managing some of our most precious resources,” said Bobby McEnaney, senior lands analyst with the Natural Resources Defense Council.

"most precious resources"

I thought the idea of becoming energy independent was pretty precious. Guess the left would rather hug a tree and an Islamic terrorist funded by our payments to OPEC.

My sentiments exactly RS. We had better brace ourselves because this is just the beginning. I had to take a week off from all media after the election in order to maintain an even keel...and to repare myself for just this sort of news. And more is coming. I've read that BO has 68 new rules and regs, just regarding energy, waiting to be rolled out.

Again, no news here! Obama has told us that coal is dead and now he will stop oil and natural gas, too. Serfs, prepare to freeze to death in the dark as your hovels become cold, dark and dank. Then you will move into the fields and tend to lord Barry's fields and flocks.

Oh, and if you try to resist or bear arms, you are dead.

The 2nd American Revolution is coming, prepare yourselves.

Of course he waited til after the election was over. Just like the 20,000 pink slips were handed out at one company that was told to wait until after election day. Shenanigans all over the country is what made Obama win, and I am certain there was so much voter fraud that it would be next to impossible to follow.

The RNC, helped this traitor, get to the white house. They don't like Conservatives, and they only poured money into the moderates campaigns. They never helped any of the real Conservatives like Allen West. Anyone who gave money to the RNC, are very foolish as they are also for the destruction of this great Nation.

It Boehner, about 2 minutes after the election to say the Tea Party is dead, we will help Barry, in anyway we can. The crybaby, has been crying in recent years cuz the Tea Party members like Allen West, have held his feet to the fire. I hope Allen, can get the votes recounted in St. Lucie, he will be able to if there is a Republican Secretary of State.

I myself live in the Commie State Of Washington. Everyone bitches and moans, then votes for every Democommie that keeps on wreaking this state. Marijuana, Same Sex Marriage, and keep on voting for more taxes. Every time there is an election I feel like my vote is not worth it, but I keep on keeping on.

God, has a plan, and all I know is "God works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform" I haven't watched the news since the election, as I get too depressed with all the gloating coming from the ENEMIES OF THE STATE. They suppressed the news that has been coming out in the past few days, as it would have hurt Barry. All I can do is pray, pray, and pray some more. I have to trust in God, or I will go insane...

Then CIA said it did not refuse any help....whaaaaaa????

SO David risked it all to lie to the American public to protect CHICAGO O?

Man. are Americans getting stupid to take this all like sheep.

And why are CIA people falling all along the 4 years, and

now Military people getting stepped on?

I hear half the military vote went for O?

REALLY???

Does this include the ones never made it or never counted?

HUGE scandal coming on vote counting, get ready for it.

O still won, but it made him look like big winner early.

Oh is a "tyrant", PERIOD, we have to accept it, it is his way or the highway.

Boehner needs to be fired as speaker as soon as possible, but I say let taxes rise for everyone.

Let O have his way. (let your vote go as no-votes)

Onlly way to get to the bottom so we can build things back.....

I expect within a year O will crash and burn.

I saw that punditpress article. The Shark Tank article seems to be written in reply to it. It's currently not looking good, because the judge doesn't see what the big deal is. It's only some shenanigans and illegal behavior. It's not like any laws were violated or people disenfranchised. Or something.

Plenty of time now to lose and/or revise ballots.

We have become too complacent.

In Wood County, Ohio 108% of voters, voted for Obama. Do the Math. In several other Ohio counties 100% of the voters voted for Obama.

Search this: "In Wood County, Ohio 108% of voters, voted for Obama."

Do the same for precincts around Cleveland and Allen West's own Port St. Lucie, where there were approximately 74K more votes cast than there were registered voters.

There are many, many counties with voter turnout higher than registered voters...in every swing state and in states with Senators and House members they wanted removed. The voter fraud in this election was RAMPANT!

If the democratic party were an college football team or a professional football team, they would be banned for life. Our party is doing nothing about it.

Romney's team had 4 planes ready to fly off in 4 different directions to challenge the results and Romney said, NO.

Search this: "more votes than registered voters"

The GOP needs to insist on a recall in every swing state. Allen West is in the process of his own in Florida and he's coming out ahead by hundreds of votes. There is something very wrong here, and we need to get to the bottom of this.

Mr. Boehner, do what General Patreaus did, and resign. You're not up to this. We need people of extreme courage right now. Do what's best for the country. This isn't about you.

Petition the Fed? The Fed doesn't exist in its true form now. This was a coup. The hell with petitioning them, just tell them, you're cutting ties with them. Something has to be done here. Someone or some people in this govt. need to arrest some people and get to the bottom of this. Obama isn't legitimate. This is UN fraud, Russian fraud, but Obama is not one of us, he's part of a plot.

You can't petitition these people. They're not following our laws, so the old rules don't apply anymore. You just tell them, your leaving if someone in power in Washington, doesn't corral Obama into a room, and interrogate him.

Not that the enviro-fascists ever think further than their noses, but this decision has consequences which affect more than just people in the USA.

Obviously the backlash on the economy will be huge: higher prices for fuel both for transport and manufacture will mean price inflation, which will translate into more businesses closing, more people out of work, and fewer people buying necessities.

Fewer people buying means less is produced, the economy will shrink further. That means less revenue from taxes while welfare costs rise.

That also means exports from the USA will shrink because not enough is made, it will mean imports will shrink because people can't afford to buy - which means manufacture in other countries around the globe will shrink.

Credit ratings will be downgraded, thus interest rates on borrowed money will rise. To serve the debts, more taxes will have to be raised ... see where this is going?

A shrinking economy with inflation means 'stagflation'.

Welcome to the UK, 1974-1979! Have you got a Maggie Thatcher to get you out of that mess?

Oh - and as last finesse, the oil sheiks can now blackmail Obama into supporting the establishment of the caliphate, while building more and more mosques to 'teach' the infidels about the benefits of sharia law ...

Written by Dave in Fla

Thursday, 08 November 2012

[Note by JW: We are being asked to believe that Romney got close to three million fewer votes in 2012 than John McCain got in 2008. That's not possible. This election is a fraud. I don't know exactly how - rigging voting machines, hacking tabulation software, not counting military absentee ballots, whatever. What I do know is that it is totally beyond believability and into the realm of ridiculously absurd that Romney actually got any fewer votes than McCain in 2008, much less millions fewer. Thus the answer to Dave's question must be Yes.]

I hate going down a birther road, but yes I believe the election was stolen, and the implications of that are very bad.

First of all, Obama received 10 million less votes than he did in 2008. The part that is unbelievable is that Romney received 3 million less votes than McCain. At the end of the day, Obama won in the 4 critical swing states by 500,000 votes.

But it is worse than that. We can look at who voted. By examining the number of Independents and their preference shift among actual voters, we know that 5 million Independents changed their votes from Obama to Romney. So Romney started the day 2.5 million votes ahead of where McCain was in 2008.

This means that 5.5 million Republican voters are not accounted for.

They didn't show up at the polls, or their votes were not counted. We know now that no subgroup of the coalition decided to sit out. So the current attempts to blame the Social Conservatives are stupid. All of our groups showed up to vote at the rates they did in 2008. For this to be true, over 10% of Republicans needed to decide not to vote this year, who did vote in 2008.

Does that make any sense?

In fact, it is even worse, we know for a fact that heavy GOP counties were swamped all day. We watched all day as, e.g., Pasco County Florida was showing huge increases in GOP voters over the 2008 numbers.

In Virginia, with 69% of the precincts in, Romney held a 6% lead. Yet once a small number of counties reported, that lead disappeared.

If the vote drop off occurred, it occurred in a very small number of counties. It was not visible nationwide.

I contend that you can not get a 10% drop off in GOP turnout without it being noticeable during the GOTV effort, measures of enthusiasm in polling, or visibly lower turnout in GOP leaning precincts.

For anyone who doesn't want to think that the Obama campaign would engage in such blatant election fraud, contemplate this. These are the same people who ran Fast and Furious without regard for the cost in human lives, turned off their credit card verification system to allow fraudulent donations, and allowed four Americans in Libya to die because it was politically inconvenient. Do you really think that massive election fraud is something they wouldn't do?

If this is true, then we have some hard things to consider.

First of all, we are now needlessly fracturing our coalition pointing fingers at people for not voting. Second, we are making an assumption about the make up of the American public that is not true. We are going to modify our party and message to appeal to a group of individuals who do not represent the majority of the population.

Most difficult to believe is that we are living in Venezuela where our elections are merely for show, and the people in charge of the Governments decide who will win elections. We become wards of the State, which is the aim of those who stole this election.

So how can this be proved?

I am going to start by looking at a few key counties in Florida. What I want to see is the voter registration numbers by party, and then compare them to the actual votes received. Theoretically, if this were to be done for all counties in Florida, we could see where the fraud occurred.

Comparing the votes Romney received to the strike lists would show that in specific counties Romney received something like 50% of the Republican vote (picking a number out of the air) while we know that nationwide he received 95% of the Republican vote.

To really get to the answer, we would need to get the registration books, which might be possible through Freedom of Information act. Those show who actually voted, by name, and their party.

The media will not pursue this. This will take citizen journalists working in every state.

Dr. Wheeler believes this election was stolen, and so do I. Allen West is ahead by over 300 votes in a Florida recount. Something is very wrong here, like it's been for four years. This wasn't an honest election.

The Wall Street Journal called him "the originator of the Reagan Doctrine". The Washington Post called him "The Indiana Jones of the Right". Izvestiya, the organ of the Soviet Communist Party, called him an "ideological gangster".

What if you had a "Personal Source" for understanding what's really going on in the world? Now you do. He's Dr. Jack Wheeler, and for only about 29 cents a day, he'll give you mind-stretching pro-America insights on our lives, our politics, and our world that you just aren't going to get anywhere else.

"Dr. Jack" predicted the collapse of the former Soviet Union, ten years before it came about - and explained exactly how it would take place. He won a bet with a top-expert when the Berlin Wall fell. In To The Point™, he'll tell you about the plans the Chinese Underground Church Movement has to send 100,000 Chinese Christian missionaries to the Middle East to convert Moslem Arabs to Christianity.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He'll explain why:

•It is envy that makes a Communist, Nazi, or Moslem Terrorist. It is the fear of being envied that makes a liberal.

I've seen Wheeler's stuff before. He writes well, and is clearly a sharp guy. But his websites always seem to give off a whiff of WorldNetDaily/Michael Savage type, over-the-top provocation. A guy like George Will can be maddening, but folks on the right have to be more like Will than Savage if they ever expect to be taken seriously.

Not that Wheeler is like Savage, per se. He's (Wheeler) written some really good stuff. Wheeler is more subtle than most, but he's definitely made it about his brand. I think it would look far better if he had tons of guest articles, and interviews he's given to various media types. Also, I never bother with articles where I have to "register to read more." Not even for the smartest guys we have on our side.
