Allen West’s Rousing Speech at 2012 CPAC (VIDEO)

As usual, Congressman Allen West needs no explanation or introduction; just a warning that watching this speech may cause you to jump up out of your chair and cheer out loud. Viewer discretion, epecially upstairs neighbors, be advised. The cheering you may hear may not be suitable for delicate or sensitive ears.

If you look up “barnburner” in regards to speeches in the dictioary, chances are you’ll see a picture of Allen West next to the entry.

Again, I’m late on the CPAC posts, but especally with this one, better late than never. :-)

EU Parliament Member, Daniel Hannan, Gives Amazing Speech at 2012 CPAC (VIDEO)

I know I’m a couple of days behind on the CPAC stuff, but this is a must-see video, so if you haven’t seen it elsewhere already, you must see it now! Thanks to the great folks at The Right Scoop for capturing this. Trust me, you will not be sorry…and I know you will share it with your friends and family (at least I hope you will).

I wonder if there’s any way we could get Mr. Hannan to relocate to the U.S. and run for office here? I know he can’t be President, but surely he could replace somebody in this government. At least he has a deep love, respect and admiration of the U.S. Constitution and our Founders…that would be a nice change of pace from the current crop of politicos who seem to have forgotten their oaths of office, and appear to not have any desire to uphold our Constitution. I don’t think Mr. Hannan would have the same problems respecting our Founding documents.

As a side note, I have a personal “wish list” of people that I’d love to see debate Barack Obama; if, for no other reason, than to see Teh Won get KO’d even trying to debate. Just for sport, you know. Who’s on my “Dream Team” of debaters? Allen West, Marco Rubio, Daniel Hannan, Paul Ryan, Newt Gingrich, Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Paul Babeu, just to name a few. Would make a HELLUVA bank on Pay Per View, right?

How Rick Santorum Helped Save the Life of Another Special-Needs Child

A friend of mine from work passed this story along to me today, as she knows I’m a Rick Santorum supporter. My co-worker’s husband is an old high school friend of Brad Smith, the father featured in this story, whose daughter was also born with the same genetic disorder as Sen. Santorum’s daughter, Bella Santorum: Trisomy 18. From the story in the U.K. Daily Mail:

When a Michigan family was looking for answers to help their sick daughter in 2010, the last place they expected sound medical advice was from a man who would one day be running for president.

But Brad and Jesi Smith found answers from then-Senator Rick Santorum to help their then 22-month-old daughter Faith.

The smiling brunette girl suffers from the same genetic disorder – Trisomy 18 – as Mr Santorum’s youngest daughter Bella.

Brad & Jesi Smith With Santorum

The Rochester Hills, Michigan family told the Detroit Free Press about their incredible encounter with Mr Santorum two years ago, and the advice the family claims saved their daughter’s life.

When Faith was born, doctors said the outlook was bleak. She was diagnosed with Trisomy 18, a genetic disorder that causes heart defects, kidney problems, delayed growth, and a small head.

Mrs Smith, a radio station sales manager, told the paper that one doctor told her to put away funds for the funeral, as most children die either in infancy or as a toddler.

‘I said, absolutely not, I’m saving for her wedding,’ she told the Detroit Free Press.

After switching hospitals to the University of Michigan’s C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, prognosis looked better, as doctors were eager to learn from the case.

In the spring of 2010, the Smiths were looking forward to meeting with Mr Santorum, as he was the only person they knew with a child who suffered from the same disease.

They spoke with him about their daughter Faith, and he showed them an article he had written on his BlackBerry about his own daughter Bella. His wife Karen talked to them throughout his speech that evening, the Detroit Free Press said.

But seven months later, Faith’s health was declining. By chance, Mr Santorum was in town for an unrelated fundraiser and came into Mr Smith’s radio station to tape a show.

Mr Smith approached Mr Santorum, asking his advice for his sick daughter. According to Mr Smith, the senator said they needed to get Faith tested for sleep apnea – where someone stops breathing in their sleep – and get her a breathing machine.

He said that sleep apnea was particularly precarious for Trisomy 18 children.

Mr Smith expressed his doubts, and said Mr Santorum then got stern, saying: ‘Look, you need to do this. If you don’t, you’re going to lose your daughter.’

This is truly heart-warming, and I urge you to go read the whole story at the Daily Mail. I think it also speaks volumes that Mr. Santorum hasn’t tried to use this to his advantage, and I would have probably never known about this had it not been for my co-worker sharing this with me.

Rick Santorum is the real deal, and this is just further reaffirmation for me that I’ve made the right choice in backing him in the 2012 primary.

I want to end this with a beautiful pic of him and his beautiful daughter, Bella.

Rick & Bella

What a wonderful family, and a very special dad.

Former P&G Exec to President Obama: You Scare Me

Yes, folks, this has made the rounds for the last couple of years and may not be new to you, but it’s worth repeating again today…especially in light of the latest Obamacare mandate requiring insurance companies to provide “free” contraceptives to all employees; even for those who work for religious charities, hospitals and institutions, completely disregarding the First Amendment.

Lou Pritchett, former executive for Procter & Gamble, did pen this letter, and told Snopes that even though he submitted it to the NY Times as an op-ed, he said they neither acknowledged it nor published it. Yet, it’s received world-wide attention due to the popularity of the message.

Here is his never-published letter:

Dear President Obama:

You are the 13th President under whom I have lived and, unlike any of the others, you truly scare me.

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you.

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support.

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America, and culturally you are not an American.

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll.

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus don’t understand it at its core…

You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class,’ always blaming others.

You scare me because for over half of your life you have aligned yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America’ crowd and deliver this message abroad.

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector.

You scare me because you want to replace our healthcare system with a government controlled one.

You scare me because you prefer ‘wind mills’ to responsibly capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves.

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose that lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of living in the world.

You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics against certain banks and corporations.

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals.

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider opposing points of view from intelligent people.

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both omnipotent and omniscient.

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything you do.

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O’Reillys and Becks who offer opposing, conservative points of view.

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing.

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years.

Couldn’t have said it better myself, Mr. Pritchett. Hope you haven’t had too many IRS audits since this letter came out. It wouldn’t surprise me, because I think any of us on the right who are vocal about the abuses and power grabs by this administration can probably expect the same… ESPECIALLY if this man gets a second term.

By the way, Mr. Pritchett…Obama scares me, too.
