				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.conservativedailynews.com/2013/05/racists-refuse-to-let-holder-be-clear/holder/" rel="attachment wp-att-89661"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-89661" alt="holder" src="http://www.conservativedailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/holder.jpg" width="200" height="252" /></a><br />
Eric “fast and furious” Holder’s legacy of corruption, power, influence, and greed will be a tough act for any future Attorney General to follow. He is the only Attorney General in our nation’s history to facilitate the pardon of a convicted felon and fugitive. Like Barack Obama, he is a privileged minority with a chip on his shoulder and a fellow supporter of Black Liberation Theology.</p>
<p>But that’s not even the worst of it.</p>
<p>Here are the reasons why our current Attorney General is the worst in no particular order:</p>
<p>He represented Washington, DC in DC versus Heller joining then Attorney General Janet Reno in an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to uphold the DC hand gun ban. In his argument he actually said, “The Second Amendment does not protect an individual’s right to keep and bear arms for purposes unrelated to a state’s operation of a well regulated militia.” (Sorry Mr. Holder, but the Second Amendment is not negotiable or left to interpretation.)</p>
<p>He advocated for and justified the use of drones to kill US citizens even on US soil. On March 5, 2013 Eric Holder said this, “Drone strikes against American citizens on US soil are legal. After this outrageous statement the Attorney General started to backtrack from these comments saying, “Using lethal force against American citizens on US soil was highly unlikely. We hope no President will ever be faced with that decision. However if there was an imminent threat such as a domestic terror attack on the country similar to Pearl Harbor or 9-11 it is conceivable that the use of an unmanned aircraft could be used as a viable option. (Mr. Holder, the fact that you believe this should make every American fearful of you, this Administration, and our government.)</p>
<p>He Initially was a proponent of trying 9-11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a New York City courtroom rather than at a military tribunal. (Sorry, Mr. Holder but this animal who maliciously murdered almost three thousand of your fellow Americans doesn’t deserve to have some Columbia leftist lawyer like yourself representing him, let alone in New York City at the scene of the crime.)</p>
<p>He blocked legislation in Texas and other states that called for voters to show picture ID in order to curb illegal voting. His ridiculous reason was, “It would disproportionately affect minority voters from the electoral process.” (No Mr. Holder it would stop voter fraud which you obviously support and no it would not be a poll tax either as most of the legislation called for cost free ID cards.)</p>
<p>He refused to prosecute and even dropped the charges against the New Black Panther Party; who on Election Day in 2008 stood outside polling stations dressed in paramilitary uniforms, carrying nightsticks and intimidated voters. His reason: He has stated on many occasions that he is unwilling to prosecute minorities for civil rights violations. “I think it does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people.” (Mr. Holder, not only is this a blatant disregard for the rule of law, but more importantly it shows what a racist anti-white bigot you are as you selectively disenfranchise voters you deem unworthy of such.)</p>
<p>He filed a law suit against the state of Arizona over their anti illegal immigration bill, SB 1070 without even reading it first. He said the bill might lead to “racial profiling”. (Mr. Holder, SB 1070 does not racially profile anyone. Maybe if you would’ve read it first you would’ve known that.)</p>
<p>In February 2011, he announced that the Department of Justice would no longer defend cases involving the Defense of Marriage Act in court. He deemed DOMA was unconstitutional. (Wrong again Mr. Holder, where in the Constitution does it say that Traditional Marriage is unconstitutional, but Gay Marriage is constitutional? I think your reason is like yourself, a little light in the loafers.)</p>
<p>He was found in contempt of Congress by the House Oversight Committee for lying, misleading, and stonewalling the investigation by withholding information concerning the gun running scandal Operation Fast and Furious. (Mr Holder, I hope you can sleep at night with the blood of Border Agent Brian Terry on your hands as well as numerous others who died by the guns you provided to Mexican Drug Cartels.)</p>
<p>His most recent scandal is unfolding as I write this. His Justice Department has acquired illegal phone records from many reporters and editors at the left leaning Associated Press. This was in retaliation to a story the Associated Press ran about a Covert Mission in Yemen that foiled the plot of the so called “underwear” bomber.</p>
<p>The Obama Administration lied to the American people when they said publicly that they had no imminent or credible threat of a coming terrorist attack that was to coincide with the anniversary of Osama Bin Laden’s death. This was not true and the Associated Press knew they were not telling the truth. In fact, the Administration pleaded with the Associated Press not to run the story because it was in an Election year.</p>
<p>As soon as the Associated Press ran the story the Administration illegally seized over two months of phone records. (Mr. Holder, your disgusting intimidation tactics make you unfit to hold the position in our government that you do. I can only hope and pray that you, your boss, and all of his Socialist, Marxist, cohorts eventually go down with the ship. If the Republicans had any testicular fortitude you would all be wearing black and white stripes in Leavenworth.)</p>
<p>The Constitution says we need to keep America safe from all enemies both foreign and domestic. Throughout our history we have fought foreign enemies in far away lands but now we have an enemy within our own borders and inside our government.</p>
<p>America is the last great hope on earth; without our compassion and guidance the world would be a very dark and dismal place. America has been the leader in prosperity, freedom, liberty, and self governance since its founding. The Obama Administration is like a cancer and its supporters are the carriers of the disease known as liberalism. If we don’t stop them soon they will destroy what little we have left in regard to liberty and freedom. How do you destroy the greatest, most powerful country on earth? Just ask the Obama Administration and Eric Holder; they seem to have all the answers.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.conservativedailynews.com/2013/01/exposing-the-tactics-and-language-of-the-left/nation-of-sheep3/" rel="attachment wp-att-80518"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-80518" alt="nation of sheep3" src="http://www.conservativedailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/nation-of-sheep3.jpg" width="300" height="300" /></a>The Democratic Party are masters of deception and illusion. When something sounds too good to be true it usually is. That is how the modern day Democratic Party operates. The left is very adept at hiding their true intentions by misnaming legislation. They can take an unpopular bill and soften its image by giving it a more appealing and inviting name. It is the equivalent of wrapping a piece of coal in a fancy box and putting a bow on top of it.</p>
<p>Here are a few examples of deceptive pieces of legislation:</p>
<p>The American Tax Payer’s Relief Act, also known as the Fiscal Cliff bill does not provide any real tax relief. The way this bill is named one would think it provides tax relief to all Americans. It does not. This bill actually raises taxes on the middle class and adds four trillion dollars to our already 16 trillion dollar deficit. Moreover, it is filled with pet projects and paybacks to people who helped Barack Obama get reelected. This <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/house-republicans-cave-on-spending-cuts-and-embrace-higher-taxes" target="_blank">bill</a> does not address the nation&#8217;s biggest problem which is spending.</p>
<p>The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare makes you think that health care will become more affordable. Unfortunately for the American people that is not the case. In fact, most experts agree that not only does it raise health care costs but it strips away competition and will ultimately lead to a one payer system which was always its original intent. If that wasn&#8217;t enough it has had a <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/obamacare-is-bad-for-business-and-bad-for-your-health" target="_blank">negative effect</a> on the economy by making it harder for small businesses to succeed due to the mandates, regulations, and new taxes.</p>
<p>The Employee Free Choice Act, also known as <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/amnesty-and-the-employees-free-choice-act-on-obama-s-wishlist-second-term" target="_blank">Card Check</a> leads one to believe that employees will be given more choices. Once again, the devil is in the details. This bill actually would restrict a worker&#8217;s right to choose whether or not they want to join a union. Right now if a company and its employees want to unionize it is voted on by secret ballot. This bill would eliminate a worker&#8217;s right to vote in secrecy. By removing the secret ballot process you invite undue pressure from outside groups and union representatives. A more appropriate name for this piece of legislation would be the forced unionization act.</p>
<p>The Respect for Marriage Act once again sounds like it would be respectful to traditional marriage however it is anything but. This bill would completely repeal <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/why-the-defense-of-marriage-act-should-never-be-repealed" target="_blank">The Defense of Marriage Act</a> in its entirety. The Defense of Marriage Act states in no uncertain terms the definition of marriage as a &#8220;union between one man and one woman.&#8221; The Respect for Marriage Act not only changes the definition of marriage, but it also voids other states legislative actions in regards to protecting traditional marriage. It should be named the disrespect for traditional marriage act instead.</p>
<p>These are just a few examples of how the left uses deceptive bill naming to trick the American people. We need to expose this trickery and make sure people are aware of how they operate.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party has remained in power not because of their good ideas or that they are the better choice for America; they have remained in power because they present bad ideas in a good light. They are also much better than Republicans when it comes to political warfare. They are masters at vilifying Republicans as evil, out of touch, and uncaring. They have sucessfully launched a disinformation campaign and convinced enough Americans that they are the party of the working class. The left goes around telling Americans that Republicans want to restrict individual freedoms while they force you to pay for health insurance and restrict your health care choices. They sold Americans on taxing the rich while simultaneously raising taxes on the middle class.</p>
<p>The Democratic Party survives and retains their power by using scare tactics and made up crises. They are not concerned with the middle class; they are only concerned with winning their votes. They want an uninformed electorate full of yes we can zombies. The more we allow the left to operate in this capacity the harder it will become to defeat them and save the country. They have become harder to expose due to a blatant and dangerously biased media at their side. It is up to us the freedom loving people of this great nation to find a way around the biased media and launch a successful counter attack.</p>
<p>Sometimes if you try to reason with a bully you just get punched in the nose. It is time we start hitting back. The time for the moral high ground is over. We have been trying that approach for years and look where it has gotten us. You can’t go to a gunfight with a switchblade and expect to win. We need to become more verbally brave and aggressive and never apologize for our beliefs.</p>
<p>When we allow the Democratic Party to paint Republicans as racist because we disagree with Barack Obama than we lose. When we allow the Democratic Party to paint us as extremists because we care about every human life and they don’t than we lose. When we allow the Democratic Party to paint us as uncaring because we would rather create jobs than dependents than we lose. It&#8217;s as though we allow the left to hit us over the head with a sledgehammer and instead of making them stop we ask for a rubber mallet so it doesn&#8217;t hurt as much?</p>
<p>Politics is a contact sport. If we are to defeat the left&#8217;s disinformation campaign we need to change our tactics. We have got to lose the label of compassionate conservatives and start acting like combative warriors. How do you stop a bully from hitting you? You punch him back harder.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-13842" href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2011/06/touchdown-and-homerun/touchdown_homerun/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-13842" title="touchdown_homerun" src="http://conservativedailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/touchdown_homerun.png" alt="" width="580" height="232" /></a></p>
<p>I would like to start off by stating that I am not a very big sports fan unless it deals with burning rubber and raw exhaust, or preying on delicious animals. I do occasionally take in a ball game, be it baseball, football or even soccer. Yes I do enjoy sitting in my recliner watching TV, so don’t try to yank my man card just yet.</p>
<p>I recently read an article on David Tyree, receiver for the New York Giants, on his stand on gay marriage.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Nothing means more to me than that my God would be honored. Being the fact that I firmly believe that God created and ordained marriage between a man and a woman, I believe that that&#8217;s something that should be fought for at all costs.&#8221; &#8211; David Tyree</p></blockquote>
<p><span>It was very refreshing to see a famous sports figure stand up against the liberals that seem to dominate the sports teams and media. Tyree does not stand alone in the sports arena when it comes to standing for what I also believe is created and ordained by God for a man and a woman. John Smoltz who played baseball for several different teams, and Todd Jones, pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds also stand proud in their beliefs and have not bowed to the political correctness that many stars seem to feel they must submit to. These players have taken a stand while at the same time their teammates are speaking out against them and their views. David Tyree stood proud even when teammate Michael Strahan and Giants co-owner Steve Tisch spoke out in favor of gay marriage.</span></p>
<p><span>I would like to applaud Tyree and the other players that have stood up for what is right. We need more role models in sports like David Tyree, John Smoltz and Todd Jones. It is men like these three that are to be admired. As parents, we do not have to worry about what liberal band wagon they may jump on and pass on to our children.</span></p>

<p><strong>Boycotts<br />
</strong>Through his non-profit organization Californians Against Hate, Mr. Karger published what he calls a &#8220;Dishonor Roll&#8221; where he calls for a boycott of donors who give more than $5,000 to Proposition 8. There are a total of 4 companies on the boycott list:</p>
<ol>
<li>Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel</li>
<li>A-1 Self Storage</li>
<li>Bolthouse Farms</li>
<li>Garff Automotive</li>
</ol>
<p><em>I am listing these in this article, and I call for a BUYCOTT for these 4 companies to counteract Mr. Karger&#8217;s boycott. </em></p>
<p><strong>Political Accomplishments<br />
</strong>The first openly gay presidential candidate from a major political party in American history<br />
Mr. Karger was the first to announce his candidacy for the Republican nomination for President of the United States on March 23, 2011</p>
<p><strong>Political Affiliation<br />
</strong>&#8220;Independent Republican&#8221;- this is the political affiliation Mr. Karger used when he announced on April 10, 2010 at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference that he was &#8220;seriously considering becoming a candidate for President of the United States in 2012&#8243;<br />
Mr. Krager has defined himself as the &#8220;Anti-Romney&#8221; candidate, and appears to have an express goal, in his words, to &#8220;run a campaign specifically designed to throw a wrench into Romney&#8217;s run&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>His Reputation<br />
</strong>It comes as no surprise that Mr. Karger does not fit into what is commonly identified as a Republican. Steve Scheffler, a delegate from the Iowa, said that Karger is &#8220;part of the radical homosexual community&#8221;.</p>
<p>Another term used to describe his candidacy is &#8220;a long shot&#8221;.</p>
<p>One interviewer actually had the backbone to essentially say the real &#8220;question on the minds of many is does he think he has a snowball&#8217;s chance?&#8221; Then the interviewer went on to say, &#8220;The answer to that is, yes and no.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Straw Polls<br />
</strong>March 31, 2011- Mr. Karger won the Saint Anselm College Republicans Presidential Straw Poll in Manchester, New Hampshire by receiving 25% of the vote. He defeated <a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2011/06/mitt-romney-2012-presidential-profile/" target="_blank">Mitt Romney</a> by just five votes.</p>
<p><strong>Endorsements<br />
</strong>Endorsed by Mike Manning, a cast member from <em>The Real World: Washington D.C.</em></p>
<p><strong>On The Issues<br />
</strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2009/11/pelosi-care-and-planned-parenthood-create-government-abortion-machine/" target="_blank">Abortion</a></span>- Roe v. Wade is the law of the land<br />
<em>If I were remotely leaning towards voting for Mr. Karger this issue alone would knock him out of the running for me. As I stated in <a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2011/05/gary-johnson-2012-presidential-profile/" target="_blank">another candidate profile</a>, </em> t<em>his is one thing I cannot compromise on. If you have read any of my articles regarding <a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2011/05/foster-care-mother%E2%80%99s-day-mourning-turned-to-joy/" target="_blank">mine and my husband’s journey to have a family</a> you will understand why this is an absolute for me. I cannot and will not budge on this issue- ever! Life begins at conception. I cannot vote for someone who believes a woman has a right to choose whether or not she carries life or kills life.</em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">American Spirit</span>- Optimism and getting along<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
<a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2011/05/illegals-continue-to-flood-america-small-percentage-being-deported/" target="_blank"> Immigration</a></span>- Let&#8217;s Take Action Now<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2011/05/democrats-love-affair-with-big-oil/" target="_blank">Energy Independence</a></span>- We must end our dependence on foreign oil<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/a-broken-system/education/" target="_blank">Education</a></span>- We need to transform education in this country<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Jobs and <a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2010/09/obama-hijacked-our-economy/" target="_blank">Economy</a></span>- Jobs First: We need to keep jobs in America<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Marijuana</span>- We should move to legalize and tax marijuana<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Foreign Policy</span>- Defense, Development and Diplomacy<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Iraq and Afghanistan Wars</span>- Surge out of both countries<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Middle East and Israel</span>- Strong American leadership to help bring a lasting peace in the Middle East<br />
<a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/support-israel/" target="_blank"> Supports Israel</a>- Mr. Karger has stated that his record on issues relating to Israel are comparable with that of Menachim Begin, the former Israeli prime minister and founder of the Likud Party.</p>
<p>In his words, quoting from his official campaign website:</p>
<blockquote><p>
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER AND QUEER RIGHTS</span><br />
</strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">I am the only candidate for president who supports full equality for all Americans</span>
</p></blockquote>
<p>Supports repealing the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)<br />
Supports making same-sex marriage legal<br />
Supports ending Don&#8217;t Ask, Don&#8217;t Tell (DADT)<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>28th Amendment Proposal<br />
</strong>Mr. Karger has proposed a 28th Amendment be added to the<a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2010/06/the-united-states-constitution-including-amendments-full-text/" target="_blank"> United States Constitution</a> that would allow 16 and 17-year-olds the right to vote. His opinion is that this would encourage younger people to participate in the political process. In his words, from his official campaign website:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;I want to empower our youth&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>In an interview with the Huffington Post on February 8, 2011 Mr. Karger states:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“I feel that we should immediately begin discussion and planning to lower the legal voting age in the United States to either 16 or 17 years old.”</em></p>
<p><em>“We should then encourage our schools and school districts to teach these young people about elections and the campaigns on the local, state and national level while they are happening.”</em></p></blockquote>
<p><em>I had to catch myself when I was writing this, because I almost dropped my computer I was laughing so hard! Is this man serious? We have seen too many &#8220;Man On The Street&#8221; interviews where people much older than 16 and 17-years-old have absolutely <strong>no clue</strong> who Joe Biden is, much less someone like Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner, or anyone less &#8220;recognizable&#8221; than the aforementioned people. Oh, everyone recognized Barack Obama- the lame-stream media made sure that the entire world knew him.</em></p>
<p><em>Mr. Karger states that we should encourage our schools and school districts to teach them about elections. Are you kidding me? The schools have indoctrinated our children too much as it is, politically! In the 2008 election cycle not one of my children knew who Joe Biden was. Oh, yes, they knew <a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2010/10/obama-president-or-campaigner-in-chief/" target="_blank">Barack Obama</a> alright! In the infamous words of <a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2011/05/sarah-palin-2012-presidential-profile/" target="_blank">Sarah Palin</a>, &#8220;you betcha&#8221; my husband and I informed them of the entire process, who was running and what they stood for. In their classroom elections all but one of my children voted for Barack Obama. This is after us talking on numerous occasions as a family about what we stand for and what is important to us. The power of suggestion and peer pressure is too great to entrust our future to children!</em></p>
<p><em> </em><em>In a day and age when you talk about &#8220;The Situation&#8221;, people automatically assume you are talking about a a Reality TV show rather than <a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2011/03/oh-no-you-didn%E2%80%99t/" target="_blank">the situation our country is in</a> I think the <strong>last </strong>thing in the world we need is to have &#8220;Generation Me&#8221; voting at a younger age! The majority of 18-year-olds are uneducated politically- why add two more years of uneducated votes to the system?</em></p>
<p><strong>Warped Priorities<br />
</strong><em>At the risk of skewing the readers view of Mr. Karger, I am adding a personal heading rather than a &#8220;factual&#8221; heading to this section.</em></p>
<p><em>Mr. Karger has said that his candidacy for the presidency is not so much about winning but rather getting the LDS Church to end its political campaign against same-sex marriage. </em></p>
<p><em>Laying aside everything that I disagree politically with Mr. Karger on, to know that the express goal of a person running for the office of leader of the free world is to stop a religious organization from being involved in the political process to have their voice and opinion does not sit well with me. It is quite obvious to me that Mr. Karger is not a <a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2009/08/what-does-it-mean-to-be-conservative/" target="_blank">conservative</a>. Why he is running on the &#8220;Republican&#8221; ticket I do not know.</em></p>
<p><em>I want a leader who has the best interest of this nation at heart rather than the numerous leaders who have a selfish agenda for running for office. Trying to &#8220;hush up and shut down&#8221; a religious organization from speaking out against the leftist agenda is not an admirable trait to say the least- especially for a candidate running on the &#8220;conservative&#8221; ticket.</em></p>
<p><em>Mr. Karger&#8217;s priorities seem to be very warped, to say the least.</em></p>
