CAPITALIZE ON SESTAK SCANDAL

By DICK MORRIS

Rep. Joe Sestak, the winner of the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary, says quite openly and repeatedly that he was offered a job by the White House if he would drop out of the race against Sen. Arlen Specter. Having secured Specter's conversion to the Democratic Party, thus giving the party a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, the Obama administration obviously sought to keep its word to Specter that it would do its utmost to deliver the Democratic nomination to him. According to Sestak, that included a job offer.

Who made the offer? What position was offered? And when did it happen? Sestak, who was nominated on a platform of "transparency," refuses to answer any of these questions. The White House admits that a conversation took place but won't provide any details and insists that an "internal investigation" revealed that "nothing inappropriate" took place.

Or did it?


It is unlikely that Sestak was offered a job interviewing people for the census. Only a high-level job offer -- a Cabinet post or an ambassadorship to a key country -- would have sufficient gravitas to conceivably induce him to drop his primary challenge. Some have speculated that Sestak, a retired admiral, might have been offered the post of secretary of the Navy. Others wonder whether, since he is fluent in Russian, he was to be tapped for ambassador to Moscow.

And, before an offer of that magnitude were tendered, it would have to have been cleared with the higher levels of the White House. How could an offer of a Cabinet post have been made without consultation with the chief of staff?

And how was the offer made? It would have to have been proffered by somebody whom Sestak could reasonably assume was speaking for the president and could deliver on his end of the deal. A lower-level official wouldn't have that kind of clout. Could the offer have been tendered by Rahm Emanuel himself. It's clearly his style.

But could Rahm or anyone else have made such an offer without consulting the president himself? You can't go around passing out Cabinet posts or ambassadorships without consulting the boss. Whatever position of that level the White House dangled in front of him, it would have to have been approved by the president.

And Sestak must have probed the person who conveyed the offer to ascertain its bona fides. He would reasonably have asked, "Did you clear this with the president?" Otherwise, why would he even consider such an offer?

The White House and Sestak are stonewalling questions from the media and, obviously, a Democratic-controlled Congress is not about to go poking around asking about the proposed deal.

So how could the Republicans break it open?

The weak link here is Sestak himself, who claims that he embraces "transparency." Fueled by his primary victory and the momentum it generated, Rasmussen has him four points ahead of Pat Toomey, the GOP candidate. This lead won't hold up for long in the face of a refusal to respond to questions the public is entitled to have answered.

Toomey or the Republican Party or other independent-expenditure groups should run ads throughout Pennsylvania asking these basic questions.

They should tell Sestak that he ran on a platform of transparency and it's time to reveal who offered what and when.

Either Sestak is lying and there was never an offer or the White House has skirted very close to having committed a crime or may have stepped over the edge. And, considering the stakes and the nature of what the offer would have to have been, this scandal could reach very high indeed.

Is it a high crime and misdemeanor to offer someone something of value in return for withdrawing from a U.S. Senate race? We may be about to find out.

Sign Petition to Stop Elena Kagan's Nomination & Protect Free Speech!

If the U.S. Senate approves President Obama’s nomination of Elena Kagan for the U.S. Supreme Court, it will be the end of the First Amendment right of free speech and move the United States a giant leap closer to Obama’s goal of making us a socialist nation and becoming America’s first dictator.

Kagan, has only written nine articles in her career and in those writings, she has made her stance on the restriction of free speech clearly evident. Starting with her 1993 University of Chicago Law Review article, “Regulation of Hate Speech and Pornography After R.A.V,” Kagan wrote, “I take it as a given that we live in a society marred by racial and gender inequality, that certain forms of speech perpetuate and promote this inequality, and that the uncoerced disappearance of such speech would be cause for great elation.”

Just having such speech disappear is not enough for nominee Kagan. In her 1996 paper, “Private Speech, Public Purpose: The Role of Government Motive in First Amendment Doctrine”, she actually believes that the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution “is best understood and most readily explained as a kind of motive-hunting.” She went on to support the idea that it is acceptable for the government to restrict any form of speech if it is deemed to be offensive to society or to the government.

In the case of United States v. Stevens, first argued in 2009, the brief, which was signed by Kagan, stated, “Whether a given category of speech enjoys First Amendment protection depends upon a categorical balancing of the value of the speech against its societal costs.”

Does the First Amendment allow for the freedom or restriction of speech to be determined against societal costs? What it does say is, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” (emphasis mine). At the time our Founding Fathers wrote the U.S. Constitution and The Bill of Rights, the term ‘abridging’ meant ‘to deprive’ or ‘diminish’. They understood the importance of giving people the right to openly criticize their government, especially when those criticisms were justifiable. Yet, Elena Kagan is determined to redefine ‘abridging’ to mean that those in charge will have the power and legal right to determine what one can say about the government, about sinful lifestyles or anything else that might be deemed offensive by the leadership or the vocal minority.

But Wait! There’s More!

Why would President Obama want to appoint someone to the U.S. Supreme Court who has had no judicial experience whatsoever?

Perhaps it has something to do with her undergraduate thesis where she wrote how it saddened her that socialism was declining in America, especially for those that wanted to change America. Obama has surrounded himself with socialists, Maoists and Marxists and Elena Kagan would now add one of his socialist groupies to the highest court in the land.

But Wait! There’s More!

Kagan has also openly endorsed and supported giving the office of President of the United States more power and control than the office already has. We have already seen a tremendous increase in presidential powers during the Clinton administration, but Kagan wants to give the president a larger role in regulation of affairs that deal with his own policies and agenda. This increase in power and restriction of speech could be just one step away for establishing President Obama as America’s first dictator.


When you add all of these together, you should be able to see a clear picture of a person that wants to take away our freedom of speech, give more power to the President and who would be overjoyed to see our country become a socialist nation and Obama wants to put on the Supreme Court where she can effectively rule to make these things happen.

Despite what you think of President Woodrow Wilson, he gave us a very wise warning when he said, “The history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it. When we resist the concentration of power, we are resisting the powers of death. Concentration of power precedes the destruction of human liberties.”

It is time that Americans stand up and be heard. Everyone needs to contact their U.S. Senator and tell them NOT to approve the appointment of Kagan to the Supreme Court. She is an abomination to everything our Founding Fathers stood for and we need to resist the President’s appointment and let him and everyone else know how anti freedom, anti liberty and anti American Elena Kagan is.

Obama Zombies: The President's Mindless Youth Cult

Obama Zombies: The President's Mindless Youth Cult
InboxX

Dear Fellow Conservative:

In 2008, Barack Obama lobotomized a generation.

For an entire year, otherwise clear-thinking members of the most affluent, information-drenched generation in American history fell prey to the most expensive, hi-tech, laser-focused marketing assault in presidential campaign history.

Twitter messages were machine-gunned to cell phones at Mach speed. Facebook and MySpace groups spread across the Internet like digital fire. YouTube videos featuring celebrities ricocheted around the globe and into college students’ in-boxes with devastating regularity.

The result: An unthinking mass of young voters marched in lockstep to elect the most radical, untested President in American history.

And Jason Mattera -- one of the country’s top young conservative activists, and now the editor of Human Events -- saw up close how it all unfolded.

Now, in Obama Zombies: How the Obama Machine Brainwashed My Generation, Mattera reveals the true, behind-the-scenes story of the methods and tactics the Obama campaign unleashed on youth culture.

For a limited time, Human Events is making Jason Mattera’s Obama Zombies available to you absolutely FREE.

Here’s what Human Events’ legal correspondent Ann Coulter has to say about Obama Zombies:

“Jason Mattera is a national treasure. You’ve seen him ambush interview and demolish some of liberalism’s biggest names. Now he’s served our nation yet again by exposing the liberal lunatics who gave us President Obama. Piercing, eye-opening and deliciously witty, Obama Zombies is required reading for an entire generation who have been sold liberal lies.”


And here’s what Human Events columnist Michelle Malkin has to say about Obama Zombies:

“A heat-seeking missile aimed straight at the Cult of Obama. Explosive, devastating and rib-crackingly hilarious, Obama Zombies is a must-read for every citizen who cares about protecting freedom for future generations of America.”

warrant to people that get in the way of his agenda. They declare you suspect and it just

to put fear in Americans that disagree or are politically oppose to the Obama agenda!
You see, you have no control of who is deemed a domestic terrorist! This who is a "Jew"
mentality will soon remove all rights we have! It is not only this; it is the the control of all
aspects of our lives; Internet; gun rights ; free speech and dissent! etc.....!

Pass this on! Vote out all democrats quickly!!! send money and now tell brother sister
momand in laws to become aware the conspiracies are coming true! Facist will rule us
if we let them!!!!!

Michael Bloomberg and Sarah Brady are demanding

To my U.S. Congressman and Senators:

Whereas: Radical anti-gunners like Michael Bloomberg and Sarah Brady are demanding that Congress close the so-called gun show loophole, though thousands of firearms are sold by law-abiding citizens every day without the need of government “assistance,” and;

Whereas: The Constitution protects the rights of the individual to be considered “innocent until proven guilty,” and;

Whereas: The Brady Registration Act background check is requiring government permission prior to exercising a constitutionally protected right, and;

Whereas: Any attempt to close the so-called “gun show loophole” will be viewed by gun rights voters as an attempt to pander to the left-wing extremist bent on banning all private firearms sales, and;

Therefore: I demand you support the Constitution by opposing S. 843 and any companion legislation to close the so-called gun show loophole and ban all private firearms sales.
