The Associated Press has now acknowledged what grassroots groups of parents and citizens have been saying for months: the centralized academic standards known as the Common Core have grown to become a defining electoral issue for Republican 2016 hopefuls. As the states, national educational goals were a priority for President George W. Bush, whose “No Child Left Behind” policy received bipartisan support but has subsequently been widely criticized because of its overemphasis on testing. Many of those GOP hopefuls who might have followed in Bush’s footsteps are taking a different path, pointing out that political elites from both parties […]

ALERT: Common Core a Defining Issue for GOP Hopefuls

The Architect of Destruction
April 30, 2014 by
March 1, 2013 By Maureen Scott "Obama comes from a community organizer background where it’s us against them. But that’s not who we are. And that’s not the position the leader of our Nation should take." – Dr. Benjamin Carson Obama appears to be a tormented man who is filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps because, as a child, he grew up around family members and mentors […]
9 Racist Things that Big Democrats Have Said and the Media Has Forgotten
April 30, 2014 by
With all this racism talk going around… I think it’s important that we reflect on some of the most horribly racist quotes that Democrats have dropped… and that the media has forgotten about… in the past couple of years. In a time when we still hear about Dan Quayle misspelling the word potato, you would […]
Email Shows White House Planned Benghazi Video Deception
April 30, 2014 by
White House officials consciously planned to spin the successful 2012 jihadi attack on the Benghazi diplomatic compound as a spontaneous protest against an anti-Islam video, according to a new email exposed by the public-interest law firm Judicial Watch. The Sept. 14 email by Ben Rhodes, President Obama’s chief foreign policy spokesman, described the public relations goals for a planned briefing of a top official — Susan Rice — who was scheduled to appear Sept. 16 on the Sunday talk-shows. She was invited on the shows to explain the September 2012 attack, which killed the U.S. ambassador and three other […]
‘One Nation Under Allah’: The Islamization of American Public Schools
April 30, 2014 by
Endless concessions and accommodations to Islamic demands only give way to more demands for even more Islam, as shown in the recent blockbuster revelations of an Islamic takeover of UK public schools. What is less well known is the same kinds of things are happening here in the United States. So outrageous were the allegations that the usually subdued and sharia-compliant British authorities initiated an investigation into the charges that devout Muslims covertly sought to “Islamize” the public schools in the UK. The bombshell was dropped last month in a leaked letter, describing an operation purportedly named “Trojan Horse.” […]
Big government GOP’s Common Core rebrand hustle
April 30, 2014 by
This weekend on Fox News Sunday , anchor Chris Wallace credited his guest, Republican Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, with leading the nation as the "first state to fall out of the Common Core national education standards." If only it were true. Wallace didn’t do his homework. And presidential aspirant Pence was too busy daydreaming about 2016 to correct him. Reality check: Last week, Pence faced the anger of hundreds of Indiana parents, educators and activists at a public Indiana Business Roundtable meeting to discuss his phony charade . The protesters openly booed Pence’s derision of critics as out-of-staters and […]
RACISM AND THE LAW
April 29, 2014 by
Some repulsive remarks by the Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling, have again placed the ugly specter of racism in this country in the forefront. This topic, at times misused and even abused, requires a rational discussion. To understand the term, we have to start by recognizing that race prejudice is just one of many […]
The Obama Youth Movement & the Seizing of American Children
April 29, 2014 by
Dave Hodges April 29, 2014 The Common Sense Show There is presently a massive conspiracy designed to separate you from your children and give the government complete control over your children. To put it simply, Human, Health and Services (HHS)and their state level emissary, Children Protective Services (CPS) are engaged in a conspiracy which will culminate in (1) the Agenda 21 designed breakdown of the family; (2) the eradication of any semblance of parental authority over children; and, (3) unbridled and unfettered access to seizing children from the home in unlimited quantities for whatever nefarious purposes which might dictate […]
Boom: New Benghazi Emails Show WH Coordinated False Talking Points
April 29, 2014 by
Previously unreleased internal Obama administration emails show that a coordinated effort was made in the days following the Benghazi terror attacks to portray the incident as “rooted in [an] Internet video, and not [in] a broader failure or policy.” Emails sent by senior White House adviser Ben Rhodes to other top administration officials reveal an effort to insulate President Barack Obama from the attacks that killed four Americans. Rhodes sent this email to top White House officials such as David Plouffe and Jay Carney just a day before National Security Adviser Susan Rice made her infamous Sunday news show […]
Obama’s Approval Rating Is At Its Lowest Point Ever, And It Could Mean Major Disaster For Democrats
April 29, 2014 by
Democrats are at risk of losing control of the Senate this November, after a new poll found that voters prefer a Republican-controlled Congress to check President Barack Obama’s agenda when his approval rating is at its lowest point ever. Just 41% approve of Obama’s job performance, according to the new Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday , a new low in his presidency and down from 46% over the first three months of the year. Some of his approval ratings on individual issues are even worse: 42% on handling the economy, 37% on the Affordable Care Act’s implementation, and […]
The Anti-Semitism of the Obama Administration
April 29, 2014 by
On Friday, Secretary of State John Kerry told the Trilateral Commission that Israel would turn into “an apartheid state” unless it made concessions to the Palestinians – the same Palestinians who just signed a peace deal between the Palestinian Authority and internationally recognized terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. The same Palestinians who have stated time and again that they will not accept the existence of a Jewish state. Kerry went on to state that Israel risked more violence if it didn’t make concessions, that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was an impediment to peace, and that he would attempt […]

White House to Susan Rice: Blame the Video for Benghazi Attack
April 29, 2014 by
Krauthammer: New Benghazi email ‘classic cover-up of a cover-up — and that is a serious… Â Blame the video, not the president’s foreign policy. That was the White House’s advice to Susan Rice as she prepared to appear on Sunday morning talk shows after the terrorist attack in Benghazi. A newly released email collected by Judicial […]
Imam to Obama: âEnd Oppression of Muslimsâ; Obama to Imam: âPray for Meâ
April 28, 2014 by
(CNSNews.com) – Visiting Malaysia’s National Mosque on Sunday, President Obama was asked by the institution’s imam to end oppression against Muslims worldwide, Malaysia’s national press agency Bernama reported. “Pray for me,” Obama replied, according to Grand Imam Ismail Muhammad, who took him on a 25-minute tour of the mosque, called Masjid Negara in Malay , in Kuala Lumpur. “Obama also said that every day when he wakes up he always does his best to put an end to oppression and conflicts affecting communities,” Bernama quoted Ismail as saying. The 70 year-old cleric said Obama had frequently replied with InsyAllah […]

The Charts Obama Doesn’t Want You to See
April 28, 2014 by
Talking about Obamacare’s effects is one thing; seeing hard data is another. Heritage’s newly updated Obamacare in Pictures has 15 charts that show the law’s effects on Americans—from canceled insurance policies to new taxes, Medicare cuts, reduced choice for plans, and more. Here’s a quick look at just three of these charts and how Obamacare is hitting three groups. YOUNG PEOPLE Obamacare says you can stay on your parents’ health insurance until you turn 26. This chart looks at what happens after that—if you don’t have employer-sponsored insurance and you have to get insured through Obamacare. If you’re trying […]
United Nations an anti-American hotbed of scandals and defeats
April 28, 2014 by
The United Nations is a strange place. It’s a group that demonstrates the absurdity of using an endless process of toothless diplomatic negotiations to arrive at peace at any price. To people who are truly able to assess its strengths and weaknesses, the U.N. is both laughable and useless. Except for one feature: It can […]
Harry Reid and Liberal Hypocrisy on Racism
April 27, 2014 by
I thought twice about doing this post, mainly because I am sure most of the conservative bloggers out there are doing a post on this subject in one manner or another. But I thought it was important to point out a couple of salient points. First, the quote. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada described in private then-Sen. Barack Obama as “ light skinned ” and “ with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one. ” But the comments were not all that private. There were rumors about such quotes floating around last year, especially when Reid was […]
Media Blackout! What You Get When Muslims Are Killing Christians
April 27, 2014 by
In today’s Western media, there’s no lack of knowledge concerning celebrities. Everything you NEVER wanted to know (whether you want to or not). From what Miley Cyrus is exposing at the moment, to Justin Beiber’s latest bong hit. All useless, ancillary junk…enough to be a mental emetic for the average thinker. Meanwhile, the matters of life and death are blacked out of the public’s global view… When an apartheid government existed in South Africa, the news media was ALL over it. Why? Not because it was wrong (because it clearly was), but rather because it was those wicked White […]
Journey to the Center of the Common Core, Pt. 2
April 27, 2014 by
By: Brent Parrish In Part 1 , we took a look at what the Common Core (CC) standards are all about, and their close compliance with the aims and goals of UNESCO and the U.S. Department of Education. We also looked at how there was very little public comment or debate on Common Core prior to its adoption. We also learned Common Core is a “national program, written by a national team,” which contradicts proponents’ claims that CC is a voluntary States’ initiative. In this article, we will look at the origins of Common Core, and a little more on […]
Journey to the Center of the Common Core, Pt. 1
April 27, 2014 by
By: Brent Parrish There has been a lot of talk and news lately about Common Core (CC)—specifically, the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI), i.e. national standards for education. Whether you have children in school or not, CCSSI affects every American, in one way or the other. One could say Common Core represents a radical bureaucratic “revolution” in education. Although proponents claim Common Core is a States’ or local initiative, it is, in many ways, a great “bait and switch” that flew underneath the radar of many Americans. There are several reasons I decided to write on the subject […]
ObamaCare and Common Core: Two Fronts of the Same Coup
April 27, 2014 by
Medical insurance and public education might seem to be two different worlds with different problems. But the proposed solutions were essentially the same. Here are ten descriptions that apply equally to ObamaCare and Common Core: 1) HUGE FEDERAL POWER-GRAB: The obvious result of both ObamaCare and is that Obama and his czars get a bigger government to administer, more money to play with, more jobs for their loyal troops, and more control over people’s lives. 2) NOT RESPONSES TO POPULAR DEMAND: ObamaCare and were massive, top-down interventions demanded by left-wing politics and ideology, not something the public asked for. Alleged problems […]
Media Matters, New York Times Deceptively Edit Bundy Video To Smear Him as a Racist
April 27, 2014 by
George Soros-funded Media Matters and the fledgling New York Times are taking a page from the MSNBC playbook of editing video in order to fit their narrative and twist the actual occurrence of an event. (watch video below) This is done in an effort not as journalists, but as propagandist activists. After all, with Soros’ buddy Barack Obama in the White House constantly fanning the flames of racial, gender, and economic divide, they must give the rabid progressive base some fuel for the fire. MSNBC has been caught deceptively editing video to help drive the progressive false and slanderous […]

Voter Fraud? If theyâre not catching the easy stuff, what else are they âmissingâ? Are some of Floridaâs Supervisors of Elections skirting the law? Supervisors are tasked with maintaining an accurate voter roll. One of the requirements on the Supervisors is to ensure that voters provide a legal residence address. Yet a December 2013 analysis […]
One thought on âOwnership of Federal Land: Answers Suggested by the Bundy Standoffâ
April 27, 2014 by
The Bundy stand-off in Nevada has induced several people to ask me about the extent to which the federal government can own land, at least under the Constitution’s intended meaning. As it happens, in 2005 I studied the issue in depth, and published the following article: Federal Land Retention and the Constitution’s Property Clause: The Original Understanding , 76 U. Colo. L. Rev. 327 (2005). In a nutshell, here’s what I found: (1) Most commentators on the issue have staked out one of two polar positions. One position, which is current U.S. Supreme Court doctrine, is that the federal […]
Why is Obama decimating the military while arming federal agencies?
April 27, 2014 by
The rate at which this administration is arming federal agencies is quite alarming. Case in point–the recent standoff against Cliven Bundy in Nevada. In recent years, armed federal government agents have stormed against citizens in Ruby Ridge, Miami (the Elian Gonzalez case), and Waco, Texas (the Branch Davidians). Each of these assaults occurred under a Democrat presidential administration. Enabled by lies and deceit, could it be that liberal progressive socialism only works by fear, intimidation, and coercion? Or is Obama more afraid of the American people than our enemies abroad? I find it humorous that liberal progressives accuse their […]
