He fought in Iraq, did tours in Afghanistan. But what got Sgt. Shamar Thomas mad as hell was the beatings peaceful civilians took from the New York Police, as they demonstrated their first amendment rights to peacefully assemble.
“These are citizens!” Sgt. Thomas proclaimed, as the NYPD stood listening. “Why are you hurting these people? If you want to kill or hurt people, go to Iraq!”
Watch below, as Sgt Thomas fight for the Constitutional rights of American citizens to assemble.
Michele Bachmann has worn out her welcome among her most loyal supporters – the Teaparty movement. She never had the support of the regular, normal thinking American, and now that President of the Teaparty group The American Majority Ned Ryun wrote, “It’s time for Michele Bachmann to go,” her already dead campaign just died again.
American Majority explains their reasons for burying Bachmann’s campaign, saying that although the congresswoman is the most vocal for the Teaparty movement and although she is the self-appointed leader of the Teaparty caucus in the House of Representatives, “she is a back-bencher!”
“I think it’s pretty obvious that Michele Bachmann is about Michele Bachmann… ”
“Let’s face it: she’s a back-bencher and has been a back bencher congressperson for years… This is not a serious presidential campaign.”
The group also accused Bachmann of trying to solidify her base now to get support for her new book. The group calls this obvious move by Bachmann, “a rightward shift,” saying, “(it) will come as the campaign works to hold on to its more conservative base of support in advance of the release of Bachmann’s new book next month.”
Surprise, Surprise!
Of course, Bachmann wouldn’t be Bachmann if she couldn’t find a conspiracy in this Teaparty message. She accused fellow Republican presidential hopeful Rick Perry of being the originator of the message. Bachmann told CNN, “If Gov. Perry has something to say to me, he can come out to the debates and say it. But this is egg on the face unfortunately for the Perry campaign.”
We’re pretty sure no one missed President Obama’s appearance on Jay Leno, but just in case you were involved in, let’s an Occupy movement somewhere, here’s the video.
The President spoke about the death of Gaddafi and Bin Laden, he spoke about the conflict in Libya and the fact that America actually led from the front, instead of “leading from the back” as Republicans and media keep trumpeting, and the President also spoke about the Republicans and their so-called Presidential candidates, among other things.
Watch the videos below.

“We grabbed him, I hit him in the face. Some fighters wanted to take him away and that’s when I shot him twice, in the head and in the chest.”
Those are the words of the person claiming to be Gaddafi’s killer. He says his name is Senad el Sadık el Ureybi, and in the video he shows a ring and shirt he claimed belonged to the deceased Libyan leader, as reported by ynetnews.
The Associated Press is also reporting that under pressure from the international committee, the interim leaders of Libya have announced an investigation into Gaddafi’s killing.
Mustafa Abdul-Jalil told a news conference in the eastern city of Benghazi that the National Transitional Council has formed a committee to investigate Thursday’s killing amid conflicting reports of how the dictator who ruled Libya for 42 years died. Government officials have said initial findings suggest Gadhafi was killed in the crossfire as his supporters clashed with revolutionary forces seizing control of his hometown of Sirte.
The following video features President Obama and Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton, speaking about the uprising of the people and their rights to peacefully gather and protest. They speak about the wrongful ways leaders of various countries have tried to suppress the voice of the people.
Although the President and the Secretary of State were talking about the uprisings in Egypt, Libya and other countries where dictators are being overthrown, the parallels between the people of these nations and the Occupy Wall Street protesters are many.
While Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton demanded that the people of Egypt and Libya be allowed to assemble and march peacefully in protest without being beaten or put in jail for exercising their human rights, we see the New York Police department viciously trying to stop the Occupy Wall Street movement from exercising their rights to peacefully gather and protest.
Yes, the President and Secretary of State are right. Governments around the world must recognize the rights of their citizens to protest peacefully without harassment from law officials. This is true for the people for Egypt, it is true for the people of Libya, and it is especially true for the people of these United States – the 99% peacefully marching in New York and all around this country demanding economic fairness.

You thought the New York Police Department was the only one attacking peaceful protesters for… protesting? Think again.
The San Francisco Police Department has successfully added their interpretation of “excessive police action” to the historic movement that is Occupy Wall Street, with their actions earlier tonight in California.
To chants of “The whole world is watching!”, police, apparently irritated with the peaceful crowd and their video cameras, took a page from the NYPD. They began destroying the Occupiers food supply, then later, tossed the protesters around as they made their arrests.
To serve and protect has taken on a whole new meaning, and it doesn’t seem to include the people at Occupy Wall Street.
The video.
Herman Cain finally came to his senses today on Meet The Press and admitted that – yes, his 9 dollars and 99 cents plan would raise taxes on some individuals. “Some people will pay more. But most people will pay less,” Cain told David Gregory, when asked if the middle class would be paying more under his plan.
Herman Cain’s entire pizza and a soda tax plan depends on overhauling the entire Federal tax system. When asked how he planned to get that done in a politically divided Washington, Cain replied that “it can be done.” Gregory asked what was he basing his claims on, to which Cain replied that it’s based upon “the many speeches I’ve given.” He goes on to say that the American people will make it happen.
Yes people, Herman Cain can get anything done in Washington, based on the many speeches he’s given. If it wasn’t for Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, Herman Cain would be the dumbest person ever to run for President of the United States.
Apparently Cain thinks very little of the American people’s intellect. The dream world he’s living in has convinced him that middle class America would support a plan that would allow the government to dig even deeper into their already empty pockets.
Wake up Cain, you can get more if you dig in the pockets of the Koch brothers. But you wouldn’t do that, would you?
I’m sure by now you’ve heard the criticism by those in the media that Occupy Wall Street have no leader, no point, no focus. The critics all seem to agree that Occupy Wall Street protesters and all the other occupiers nationwide, will be better served if they had one specific goal.
Well the Occupiers heard these unwarranted suggestions from the media, and decided to answer. No, the movement is not about one main goal, it is about the 99% of Americans, and the many injustices we all face.

The American people are frustrated:
“I think it expresses the frustrations the American people feel, that we had the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression, huge collateral damage all throughout the country … and yet you’re still seeing some of the same folks who acted irresponsibly trying to fight efforts to crack down on the abusive practices that got us into this in the first place.”
You can say that again…!
It’s a process called “Kettling” – leading the unsuspecting victim to an area where there’s no way out, and attacking. In this case, the NYPD demonstrated kettling on the protestors yesterday as over 700 people were arrested after police directed them to the Brooklyn Bridge, then started their arresting spree.
The video below shows this unbelievable “rounding-up” of the demonstrators at Occupy Wall Street.
The hits just keeps on coming.
Recently, Herman Cain called blacks “brainwashed” because a huge majority vote Democrat. But that wasn’t all Cain said about the black community.
In another ad made in 2006, Herman Cain through his high-profile role at AmericaPAC, allowed what can easily be one of the most vile, despicable political ads ever! An ad, whose only perceivable intent is to put down an entire group of people. Herman Cain (who is black in case you haven’t noticed and referred to as “the face of AmericaPAC”) kept the ad that quotes almost all the stereotypes used to insult the black community.
And in 2012, if he makes it that far, Cain wants your vote.
When I came across this video, I thought it would be just another amateur trying to put their mark on the joke that is Rick Perry. Boy was I wrong!
This video shows Rick Perry ‘saying’ some things that are quite frankly, amusing. Okay, okay… the words you hear are not the ones coming from Rick’s mouth, but compared to what the Republican presidential candidate has been saying so far, these words would be an improvement.
Watch, and enjoy!
