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.

Lou Pritchett

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.

Jack Lew Reveals to Chris Wallace Exactly Why Obamacare MUST Be Repealed! (VIDEO)

You have to watch the whole thing because it’s really incredible. Chris Wallace asked the first key question I don’t think anybody else has asked about the new “preventive care” or “contraception” mandate that was handed down as part of Obamacare. The question came early on, and Jack Lew’s answer was stunningly blatant. Here’s the key portion to which I am referring, from the Fox News transcript:

WALLACE: Before we get to the president’s new budget and I promise we will, I want to clear up some lingering question about the president’s revised policy about providing health insurance coverage for birth control to the employees of religious institutions. The president now says that Catholic institutions don’t have to provide the coverage but the insurance companies do.

The question — where does the president get the power to tell a private company they have to offer a product and offer it for free?

LEW: Well, Chris, just to be clear — the president has the authority under the Affordable Care Act to have these kinds of rules take affect.

Wait what?

Please, I want everyone to pay attention to this and pass it along. This interview, en toto, was quite revealing, but this first bit made me hit rewind on my DVR about six times, making sure I heard what he said. His response was not from the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence or even any of the Federalist Papers.

Until Obamacare, a.k.a., the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, was passed by Congress, the Executive Branch did not have such broad and overreaching powers. Forget about the individual mandate and contraceptive issues in the news lately…we must focus, folks, on this one glaring (and frightening) fact of this legislation. If Obamacare grants the Executive Branch the power to force indiviudal companies to provide something for FREE to all women everywhere, there is absolutely NO limit to what else this administration can conjure up.

Jack Lew and all the other apologists for this latest heinous power grab seem to be trying to convince us that “studies show” (~rolling my eyes~) providing contraception and “preventive care” for women’s “health” issues actually makes the cost of the insurance premiums cheaper, so there really is no “cost” to the insurance companies; it’s apprently break-even for them. Yes, that’s right… it’s cheaper to prevent a woman from getting pregnant and a baby from being born, so why the heck would ANYBODY be against this mandate? /sarc

What country is this in which we live…China?

And Mr. Lew et. al.; if this will cost the insurance companies “nothing,” why are you claiming it will save women approximately $600 per year? It either costs or it doesn’t. You can’t have it both ways.

But I digress.

Let’s forget about how much contraception costs; let’s just focus on why I am writing this post in the first place. The most significant and important question whe should ALL be askng today is this: what part of the Constitution grants the President or Congress the absolute right or authority by which they can force a PRIVATE company to give, FOR FREE, any service or product to any American? Just once more for punctuation and clarity, here again is Jack Lew giving his stunning response to Chris Wallace:

After you watch it and hear it, just let that tiny part just simmer and tell me if you think this is just an “access” or “women’s healthcare” issue. And lastly, can we disabuse these folks of this nonsense about “access” to contraception? Did I miss something here? Are birth control pills are now illegal and no longer available by another other method, or through any other manner? Are they prohibitively so expensive that everyday Americans can no longer afford them? If that is the case, how about condoms? Last I heard they are at the point at which they’ll probably just start falling from the sky, courtesy of the condom fairy!

If you think this is anything less than an absolute overreach and power grab from the Obama administration, you are kidding youself.

Occupy Protestors Lash Out at D.C. Police, Act Like Heathens, & Get Arrested (VIDEO)

This past Saturday, D.C. Police had finally had enough of the Occutards and their hazardous waste, filth and general mayhem, so they decided it was time. They had to get them out and the sooner the better. That’s when the trouble began:

Police in riot gear and cleanup crews in hazardous materials suits began enforcing no-camping laws in McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza over the weekend, resulting in intense — and often physical — confrontations with Occupy D.C. protesters who resisted their efforts.

At least 12 people were arrested during the weekend enforcement actions, and the majority of tents that made up the McPherson Square camp were removed along with truckloads of trash. One police officer was injured Saturday when he was struck in the face with a brick.

Hit a cop in the face with a brick? Niiice going there, occutards! From the Washington Times piece:

Police said Sunday they had found human feces, urine in plastic bottles, used condoms and rats — alive and dead. Some of the equipment was tagged and bagged and for protesters to claim beginning Monday morning at U.S. Park Police headquarters.

In a scene that was repeated several times Saturday, police at McPherson Square shoved confrontational protesters out of areas of the park they planned to clear, while demonstrators chanted and hurled obscenities at officers.

More of these routings (and cleaning up) of these putrid, crime-ridden encampments needs to occur…and QUICKLY! The sooner we rid public property of this scourge, the better for civilized people everywhere. Obama and the Dems have GOT to stop with this class warfare, already. It is exactly the message coming out of Obama’s 2012 Campaign, as well as the DNC and the White House in general, that is encouraging these vermin to continue with their shenanigans. Enough is enough.

By the way…how much are you seeing this reported in the mainstream media? Yeah, me neither.

While Our Divorced Parents Fight & Embarrass Us in Public, I’m Taking This Time to Test Out Some New Themes For My Site

From the Desk of MsU ~

As you all know who have been reading (or trying to read) my blog lately, I have been suffering from several things: On a brief hiatus; recovering from a debilitating health problem; having problems with bad HTML codes; experimenting with new themes for customization (with as little of a financial impact on me as possible, which is very key); and a slight burnout on these embarrassing weeks of GOP on GOP in-fighting.

I gotta tell ya folks; this kind of reminds me of something a friend of mine recently went through. She and her siblings agreed to meet with their now-divorced parents for dinner. While at the restaurant after exchanging shallow pleasantries, her parents began immediately engaging in loud and boisterous arguing about what the other had done wrong in the marriage. Dad was yelling at mom, and mom was yelling at dad, and it wasn’t meant, quite clearly, to bridge any relationship gaps that had formed since their divorce many years ago.

As the other patrons at the restaurant were clearly becoming more and more uncomfortable at the tenor of the fight, my friend and her siblings found themselves sinking lower and lower in their chairs. They were PRAYING for the food to come so hopefully the food would shut the mouths of their parents and stop them from this very public debacle. But that didn’t happen. The food came and sat there while they continued to bellow at each other, while all the kids gave each other that knowing look – “we gotta get out of here!”

So quietly, as the arguing continued, the children got up slowly attempting to appear as they needed to go to the restrooms, all the while knowing they were headed out the door. Their parents didn’t even notice. And that was fine with the kids. They found themselves reaching the door, slipping quietly out, and as soon as the doors shut, they turned and yelled at the restaurant doors: “WILL YOU BOTH PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP?” They knew their parents couldn’t hear them, but they just had to say it. Mom and dad embarrassed the HELL out of them! They decided they couldn’t take it anymore, and they were just delighted to be out of earshot of the warring sides.

That, my friends, is how I feel today about the mud-slinging that is going on between Mitt & Newt. And you know who the losers are? We, the American People. The sad part? So many of us are so disgusted we might just stay at home and refuse to meet them at the “restaurant” EVER AGAIN! You know who that helps? Barack Obama. Yet we are so tired of the pettiness of the primaries at this point, we just don’t give a damn. Yes, at the end of the primary, we will almost certainly go whole-hog behind the GOP nominee because we know America cannot survive another term of Barack Obama, but we will NEVER forgive our “parents” for doing this to us in the first place.

Have all elections before this been nasty and unseemly? Of course. But this is such a crucial time that we cannot afford to chance ANYTHING! I know we have nine months to go until the election, but I almost cannot bear the thought of even 2 more months of this going on. I’m a news junkie, and I listen to talk radio all day at work. But lately, I’ve been listening to music and only music…I have to escape for a while to retain my sanity. I even hate the negative attack ads on TV and radio, but there is one possible upside to all of this; hopefully everything that can be dug up about Newt, Mitt and Santorum will be dug up before the general election begins.

The one thing I do know, however, is when the general election does begin, the Obama machine will probably wipe all of our collective memories clean of all the primary filth that was washed across our TV screens each day and night. It will bring campaign politics to an all-time low, as the O Machine will have more cash than any campaign ever before, and will have surrogates across all mediums including Hollywood, the mainstream media, the Race Pimp Industry and its leaders, MSNBC, the liberal press (both print and online), the music industry, Oprah Winfrey, George Soros, the Unions, Van Jones, Podesta’s “Center for American Progress,” and too many others to mention.

I am convinced that the DNC and leftists in general were wholly and completely behind the demise of Herman Cain. I’ve known Herman Cain for a while, and every single tramp that was trotted out by Gloria Allred, or who came out on their own (anonymously), were all lying about what they said about Herman Cain. If what Cain did to them was SOOOO egregious, where is Gloria now? Where is Sharon Bialik now? If these women were so aggrieved, why aren’t they continuing to pursue Herman now? Because they have NOTHING to prove he is guilty of what they accused him. Gloria is a feminazi publicity whore, and I see she has now moved on to bigger and better things now. Does this woman have no shame? Oh, wait… that’s right, she doesn’t. How does she manage to sleep at night? Hey, I know…PROBABLY ALONE – EVERY SINGLE NIGHT!

And do you know why they had to destroy Herman Cain so quickly? Because even though they thought Herman couldn’t win the primary, he could possibly continue onward and perhaps get a nod for V.P. for one of the others. And the one thing the Obama campaign and the DNC needed to keep in their arsenal was the race card. So for them to get rid of Herman early was priority number one. They couldn’t stand to see a successful black man, who was a conservative man of faith, with a wife of 43 years and LOADS of successful business experience. Herman, I was rooting for you, and prayed for you to stay in for the distance and fight the left. However, I know what you’ve been through with your health and everything else – you did what you had to do. After all, as you’ve often said, family comes first. Your wife Gloria is one of the luckiest women alive. Mz. Allred has disgraced her good first name. I am happy you don’t have to put up with this crap anymore, Herman, but this country is going to miss out on having you as someone of prominence in national government where you could truly make a difference.

Make no mistake, however. Whomever winds up being the general election candidate would be wise to consider you for any of the many Cabinet secretaries, for which you would be a tremendous asset: Treasury, OMB, DOD, Commerce, Energy, just to name a few.

But I digress. If you see some differences on my site in the near future, please bear with me as I experiment with it. I am not completely ignoring politics, but like my friend’s parent, right now I’m just embarrassed and want them to shut the hell up. I’ll keep one eye on the news, the other eye on the blog.

I pray this country can make it through the next year, and I hope we can make Obama a true one-term president. Because I’m afraid if we don’t, a “lame duck” Obama presidency will be the most single dangerous thing our country has ever seen, and I’m not so sure we can make it through it without becoming a failed pseudo-socialist state, sinking alongside the other European countries.
