U.S. POSTAL SERVICE MAY BE FORCED TO CLOSE FOR THE WINTER:
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is going to have to find a way to make up for hemorrhaging financial losses (which has already rendered them incapable of making a $5.5 billion payment to its employee healthcare plan by the Sept. 30 due date) or face the possibility of closing shop for the winter.
Their unique situation raises two questions: first, how did it come to this? Second, how should it be addressed?

WHITE HOUSE: Obama Is Not Going to 'Serve as the Speech Police for the Democratic Party'
WHITE HOUSE: Obama Is Not Going to 'Serve as the Speech Police for the Democratic Party':
A top aide to President Obama says Americans must decide for themselves how to be civil with each other -- a rather sharp departure from comments that Obama has himself made in the past.
In an interview with the WMAL Morning Majority Wednesday, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said the Obama administration is not going to be drawn into the "gotcha game" of reacting to comments made by Teamsters President James Hoffa, Jr. At a Labor Day rally in Detroit, Hoffa urged the President to use unions as his army to fight back against the Tea Party and "take these son-of-a-bitches out." Pfeiffer told WMAL that President Obama is not going to "serve as the speech police for the Democratic party."

Former ACORN Insider Infiltrates Fox News
Former ACORN Insider Infiltrates Fox News:
The sometimes strange and increasingly alarming “age of Obama” continues to bring the average American startling and upsetting news.
The ever reliable Vice President Joe Biden stepped in to add insult on top of injury to the growing number of Americans who identify themselves as part of the Tea Party. From Biden’s equation of the Tea Party to “barbarians” to Obama supporting “Teamster boss James P. Hoffa’s Labor Day call for to “take these sons of bitches out‘” to the ridiculous announcement that Obama has started his own “Project Vote,” the hits just keep on coming.
As Americans deal with an the fallout of having an ACORN community organizer running the country, the scattered ACORN alums continue to infiltrate into other trusted institutions. Including Fox News
. Jehmu Greene, former National Director of Project Vote currently spends her days undermining Conservative principles from her position as a Fox News contributor. Greene’s tenure at Project Vote coincided with this reporter’s stint there. Curiously, Greene’s Huffington Post bio omits the position.

New Yorkers Wonder if US Heard Spiritual 'Wake-Up Call' of 9/11
New Yorkers Wonder if US Heard Spiritual 'Wake-Up Call' of 9/11:
But he believes the U.S. lost its way in some respects after 9/11, rather than rising to the occasion.
He is struck by the “failure of leadership in America,” on the part of politicians he says are “exploiting our differences for narrow political ends of getting re-elected,” and “not really talking to America and the world about very fundamental things.”
Harding also believes Americans gave in to fear after the attacks, placing their trust in morally questionable tactics in the interest of national security.
“I never thought, in my lifetime, that I would hear people on television debating whether, and what kind of torture, we should be using.
Didn't we have the (Imperial Japanese) Bataan death march? What is going on here? This is crazy … It's fear. Where there is fear, there cannot be faith.”..................

Are you a yankee?
Are you a yankee?:
I'm originally from Louisiana, but I have been working in North Carolina for some time.
Well, as part of my job, I was dealing with a lady on the phone, and all of a sudden she blurts out, "are you a yankee"? I say, "why would you ask me that"
It seems I said the word "pecan," and pronounced it puh-KAHN and she felt it should be pronounced PEE-can. I told her I am from Louisiana and we consider her to be the yankee.
She took it all in good stride, but from what I have discerned since then, PEE-can is definitely the more yankee version.

Postal Cuts Would Weigh On Minorities, Vets
Postal Cuts Would Weigh On Minorities, Vets:
WASHINGTON (CNNMoney) -- Should the Postal Service get its way on laying off thousands of workers, the cuts would weigh heavily on two segments of the population hard hit in recent years: minorities and veterans.
The U.S. Postal Service, teetering toward default, wants the power to cut 120,000 jobs by voiding labor protections for currently protected workers.

Chuck Baldwin -- Government Arrogance Is Out Of Control!
Chuck Baldwin -- Government Arrogance Is Out Of Control!:
Arrogance breeds lust for power and fear of freedom; arrogance sees itself above accountability and responsibility; arrogance has no vision for anything beyond its own desires; and arrogance has no conscience regarding its own evildoings.
Arrogant men can justify anything, no matter how ugly or horrific. When their decisions result in the mutilations and deaths of innocent people, they casually and callously call it "collateral damage."
And when it comes to protecting their own selfish (and usually secret) agendas, they are like the kings of antiquity who ordered their archers to loose their arrows into the midst of the battlefield and kill everyone--even those in their own armies. Such was the fate of Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean........................

Even a top cop concedes a right to video arrests - but the street tells a different story
Even a top cop concedes a right to video arrests - but the street tells a different story:
TAMERA MEDLEY begged the police officer to stop slamming her head - over and over - into the hood of a police cruiser.
Thinking they were helping, passers-by Shakir Riley and Melissa Hurling both turned their cellphone video cameras toward the melee that had erupted on Jefferson Street in Wynnefield, they said.
But then the cops turned on them.
Riley had started to walk away when at least five baton-wielding cops followed him, he said, and they beat him, poured a soda on his face and stomped on his phone, destroying the video he had just taken.
Meanwhile, two officers..............

How Obama Protects the Teamsters
How Obama Protects the Teamsters:
Barack Obama and Jimmy Hoffa are like Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Lady Gaga and hype, the "Jersey Shore" cast and hairspray: inseparable. The president can no more disown the Teamsters Union's leader than he can disown his own id.
At a Labor Day rally in Detroit on Monday before Obama spoke, Hoffa stoked anti-tea party hostility by urging his minions to "take these son of a b*tches out." (Botched grammar added that extra boost of street-gang authenticity to the labor lawyer's threat.)
The same civility police on the left who decry any references to crosshairs as incitements to violence are now mute about Hoffa's brass-knuckle rhetoric. The Chicagoans in the White House refuse to comment...................

Obama’s ineligibility: Prepare to defend America – The real issue for 2012
Obama’s ineligibility: Prepare to defend America – The real issue for 2012:
The United States is now ruled by an oligarchy, where power effectively rests, not with the American people, but with a relatively small elite, who enhance their personal wealth by looting the country and maintain their control by adjusting the levers of government and regulating the press.
The oligarchy owns the politicians and the mainstream media, a political-media complex, which assists them in maintaining the status quo.
Barack Hussein Obama is a Constitutionally illegal President, who has forged his birth documents and his Selective Service registration. He has committed identity theft by using a Social Security Number not issued to him.
Questions about Obama ineligibility and his crimes are being intentionally suppressed by the political establishment and the media because the truth would so outrage the American people that the oligarchy and its servants in the political-media complex would be destroyed.
At least part of the oligarchy is displeased with Obama because he is affecting their profits and he is risking the exposure of the oligarchy’s plundering of the country and the economic enslavement of the American people.
In order to maintain the status quo, the oligarchy and its operational arm, the political-media complex, must facilitate a smoot.........................

Sick With Power: What Ron Paul Really Thinks of Reagan:
Ronald Reagan himself was once a Democrat who, as he narrates in his glorious autobiography, An American Life, was slowly brought to a better understanding of the logic of conservative principles.
This switching of parties was the subject of one of Reagan’s most endearing and enduring quips when he agreed with then White House Press correspondent, Sam Donaldson that he, Reagan, was indeed partially responsible for the economic woes of the Country since he had been, “for many years a Democrat.” (Not a bad book title for Perry, now that I come to think of it!)

No matter how much my family "needs" things. And any debt counselor will immediately have me look at ways to cut my expenses.

Hoffa’s words about labor’s importance brushed off (Obama, The Hypocrite in Chief)
Hoffa’s words about labor’s importance brushed off (Obama, The Hypocrite in Chief):
The White House sidestepped questions Tuesday about a labor leader’s controversial rhetoric at a Labor Day rally headlined by President Obama, dismissing the matter as “kabuki.”
Press secretary Jay Carney refused to condemn Teamster President Jimmy Hoffa’s fiery remarks and pointed out that Mr. Obama was not yet on stage when Mr. Hoffa roused a crowd of union workers in Detroit by promising “war” with the tea party. “President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these sons of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong,” Mr. Hoffa said in his introduction of the president.
Pressed by reporters, Mr. Carney said the president didn’t hear the comments, which resulted in a near-immediate backlash from conservatives Monday.
“Mr. Hoffa speaks for himself,” Mr. Carney told reporters. “The president speaks for himself.”
Asked if Mr. Obama meant what he said when he used a January speech to implore civil discourse in the wake of the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Mr. Carney said: “Of course he did.”

“Obama is Destroying the Country”| The Post & Email: CONCLUSION OF INTERVIEW WITH STATE REPRESENTATIVE WHO HAS NAMED OBAMA A TRAITOR
by Sharon Rondeau
Three men from New Hampshire signed the Declaration of Independence: Josiah Bartlett, William Whipple, and Matthew Thornton
(Sep. 6, 2011) — On September 5, 2011, The Post & Email published an exclusive interview with Rep. Harry Accornero of New Hampshire, who has levied a charge of treason against Barack Hussein Obama.
We ended Part 1 of the interview directly after Rep. Accornero said, in regard to Obama, “I’m still not sure if he’s an American…”
The Post & Email then asked, “Do you think Obama is eligible to serve?” and he answered, “There are a lot of questions about his background, documents that we haven’t seen…it needs to be investigated.”
In regard to the charge of treason, Accornero told us, “I thought I was all alone in this, like John the Baptist, but now I see that others have been working on this, too…LCDR Fitzpatrick, you, and others…”.................

Three men from New Hampshire signed the Declaration of Independence: Josiah Bartlett, William Whipple, and Matthew Thornton
(Sep. 6, 2011) — On September 5, 2011, The Post & Email published an exclusive interview with Rep. Harry Accornero of New Hampshire, who has levied a charge of treason against Barack Hussein Obama.
We ended Part 1 of the interview directly after Rep. Accornero said, in regard to Obama, “I’m still not sure if he’s an American…”
The Post & Email then asked, “Do you think Obama is eligible to serve?” and he answered, “There are a lot of questions about his background, documents that we haven’t seen…it needs to be investigated.”
In regard to the charge of treason, Accornero told us, “I thought I was all alone in this, like John the Baptist, but now I see that others have been working on this, too…LCDR Fitzpatrick, you, and others…”.................

Boston To "Study" Licensing Sale of all Knives
Boston To "Study" Licensing Sale of all Knives:
On Thursday, September 8, 2011 the Public Safety Committee of the Boston City Council will be holding a hearing with the intention of licensing the sale of knives in the city of Boston. Below is the official purpose of the hearing:
That the appropriate committee of the Boston City Council hold a hearing to examine requiring the sale of knives to be licensed by the appropriate police agency that would monitor, regulate and license businesses selling knives. Representatives from the Boston Police Department, Inspectional Services Department, and other interested parties shall be invited to attend.
The meeting will be at City Hall, Ianella Chambers, 5th Floor on Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 10 am.
LINK
We urge GOAL members to contact the Boston City Council and express their opposition to this measure. Please keep in mind that this is how gun control got its start in the Commonwealth. Currently citizens need a license to possess pepper spray. In a year or so this measure could lead to licensing citizens to possess a basic pocket knife.
Protecting YOUR freedom begins here!
Sincerely,
Mike Sweeney

Janet Napolitano: Drudge is 'just wrong' on privacy
Janet Napolitano: Drudge is 'just wrong' on privacy:
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is calling out web news aggregator Matt Drudge for suggesting that she's an ogre eager to invade the privacy of Americans and in particular those who travel by air.
"I think my nickname is 'Big Sis.' I don't think he means it kindly, actually," Napolitano said Tuesday, accurately recalling the moniker that often accompanies scary-looking photos of her on Drudge's popular news site.
"I think that what he means is we are watching too much—kind of an Orwellian view. He's just wrong. I mean, he's just wrong," Napolitano declared during a POLITICO Playbook breakfast at the Newseum. She said the privacy impact of new airport screening technology and similar programs are thoroughly vetted before they are implemented.
"We want to be conscious of civil liberties and civil rights protections—and we are," Napolitano insisted. "We don't do anything without kind of running it through our own civil rights and privacy office. We're one of only two departments in the federal government that actually has a presidentially-appointed privacy office and officer."

Glenn Beck's "pure personal truth," Part 1 [Real Mormonism]
Glenn Beck's "pure personal truth," Part 1 [Real Mormonism]:
Here Glenn Beck goes again, claiming he's a Christian, this time at Restoring Courage 2011 — Jerusalem. Glenn gets upset when anyone questions his Christianity.
That's weird because he's a Mormon who affirms the official teaching of Mormonism aka the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). The LDS outright deny many of the essential doctrines of the Christian faith. Moreover, LDS doctrine contradicts what Scripture teaches. So of course there are Christians who feel Beck's not a true follower of Jesus Christ — not the Jesus of the Bible anyway.
When his "I'm a Christian" claim is held up to scrutiny Glenn gets his knickers in a knot. At the rally he choked up with emotion and said in an accusatory tone that only Christians question his salvation....................

OR ARE THEIR HEADS BURIED IN THE SAND?
by One Pissed-off Vietnam Vet
Does the Quran preach peace or war, love or hate for one’s neighbors?
(Sep. 5, 2011) — Here’s an old joke: Let’s have all of our judges and politicians wear logo jackets, you know, windbreakers with the patches of the companies that sponsor them.
The back of Obama’s jacket would have a big, green “BP,” and quite a few senators and representatives would have the flag of China, and maybe we’d see an Iranian flag or two, and, of course, every oil company in existence would be represented in our hallowed halls, as the AMA, all unions, and, without exception, each defense contractor.
Every jacket would, obviously, have multiple patches. Here’s one for you: Ever wonder why judges wear robes? Well, now you know, so all the patches will fit.
I’ve been looking, although I haven’t..........................

Obama’s pride in Jimmy Hoffa emboldens hate mongers everywhere
Obama’s pride in Jimmy Hoffa emboldens hate mongers everywhere:
Blame Barack Obama for the vitriol and hatred pouring in to letters to the editors and comment sections overnight for news sites like Canada Free Press (CFP).
Thuggish Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa told Obama over the weekend: “President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son of bitches out and give America back to where we belong.”
Obama said he was “proud” of Hoffa after his hate-filled Tea Party attack.
Not only did the undocumented President of the United States of America tacitly approve of Hoffa calling the Mothers of all with whom he disagrees politically “bitches”, his stated pride of Hoffa’s vitriol emboldens leftwing hate mongers everywhere.......................................

Scarborough: 'No Way' Perry Can Beat Obama
Scarborough: 'No Way' Perry Can Beat Obama:
Looks like Joe Scarborough aims to single-handedly winnow the Republican presidential field. A few weeks ago, the Morning Joe host dismissed Michele Bachmann as "a joke." Today, Scarborough proclaimed that there is "no way" Rick Perry could beat Barack Obama.
Scarborough, imagining an anti-Perry ad, surmised that Perry's statements on Social Security, the selection of US Senators and secession would come back to haunt him.

Fred On Everything ~ An Intrusion of Reality Never a Good Thing
Fred On Everything:
EXCERPT ONLY ~
..... Nothing can change things except the utter collapse of the US economy and the burning of its cities, a singularity the other side of which is not visible. Any possible sollution would require a decision. The US no longer does decisions. It can neither stop the drug traffic nor legalize it. It can neither win wars nor abandon them, neither make money nor stop spending it, neither stop immigration nor assimilate the immigrants.
Washington can beat its thumb with a hammer, yes, and notice that it hurts, but it can't stop beating its thumb. That would take a decision, and Washington doesn't do decisions.
People email me, asking where I would go if I were trying to get out of the crumbling US before the roof falls in. Argentina. Thailand. Viet Nam. China. Pederably to a country without oil. Chile. Maybe Uruguay. Almost anywhere in Europe if you can afford it. Mexico is a fine place, but getting dicey. Very dicey......

Will Barack Obama condemn Biden and Hoffa calling Republicans 'barbarians' and 'son of a bitches'
Will Barack Obama condemn Biden and Hoffa calling Republicans 'barbarians' and 'son of a bitches':
I enjoy political hardball as much as the next reporter. It’s barely concealed truth that campaign journalists, like the operatives we cover, love negative campaigning and revel in OTT insults and martial rhetoric. Even candidates often lapse into the language of “rip his throat out”, “tear his eyes out” or “drive a stake through her heart”.
It’s no secret either that many Republicans despise Democrats with a passion and vice versa. Just as British MPs hide their contempt of their opponents by referring to them as “the honourable member’, American politicians have their own, albeit less formal, ways of masking their true feelings with anodyne language for public consumption.
But the statements today by Jimmy Hoffa Jr and Vice President Joe Biden demean the presidency and, tactically speaking, are stupid own goals

After Jimmy Hoffa Calls for War on Tea Party Movement, Barack Obama Forgets What He Said in Tucson:
Can’t remember what Barack Obama said when he spoke in Tuscon, Ariz., at the Jan. 12 campaign rally disguised as a memorial service to honor the people killed in Tucson four days earlier?
You’re not alone. After hearing AFL-CIO President Jimmy Hoffa call for war on the Tea Party Monday, the president seemed as if he had forgotten his words, too.
Those words, by the way, surface at the 1:01:19 mark of the video below:
