Here are 5 job stats Obama won’t tell you about

Clearly this administration has no concern about a vigilant media because they have just decided to say all the scandals facing this administration are ‘phony’ scandals. Obama went on to say he is pivoting to the economy – this is actually the nineteenth time he’s done so. How many chances do we give this guy to help the economy? Stu took a look at the stats on radio this morning.

“This 19th pivot to the economy,” Stu explained. “And again, I feel the need to point this out every time: 19th time, not a joke, the actual number of times they’ve said they’ve pivoted back to the economy because that’s the real issue that Americans care about. If the Americans -- if it was true and you gave a crap about the economy, you wouldn’t need to pivot to it 19 times; you’d pivot to it once and try to fix it. Instead you keep pivoting to it because all of your attempts fail. Over and over again there’s a long legacy of failure 18 times. So the 19th time was just because you failed 18 other times. It is embarrassing.”

To explain how badly the Obama administration has failed to fix the economy, Stu read some of the facts that Obama left out (via AEI) of his speech yesterday:

1. Over 69 percent of the jobs created in Q2 2013 and over 57 percent of all the jobs created in the first half of 2013 were created in the three lowest wage sub-sectors of the economy, Retail Trade, Administrative and Waste Services, and Leisure and Hospitality, that otherwise account for an aggregate of only 33 percent of all private sector jobs.

2. These jobs, in the aggregate, pay an average of only $15.80 per hour, compared with the other two-thirds of private sector jobs, which pay $27.16 per hour. Relative to unemployment benefits and other assistance, jobs at $15.80 per hour put less than $3.00/hour more in the pockets of a newly working consumer.

3. About half of the jobs created during the first half of 2013, and a large majority of the jobs created in Q2 2013, appear to have been part-time jobsthat offer employees as little as one hour of work per week, and up to 35 hours of work.

4. After falling from a recession high of 9.2 million to a post-recession low of 7.6 million at the end of Q1 2013, the number of people saying they are working part time because they can’t find full time work (part time for economic reasons) crept back up to 8.2 million, double pre-recession levels.

5. Nearly 100 percent of the decline in the U-3 unemployment rate has been the result of there being fewer workers in the labor force as a percentage of the employable population. If the Labor Force Participation Rate had not fallen from October 2009, when unemployment hit its Great Recession peak of 10 percent, unemployment would today still be around 10 percent. Moreover, if the LFPR were held constant from its highest pre-recession level of 66.40 percent in January 2007 (when unemployment was 4.6 percent), the U-3 unemployment rate would be nearly 12 percent today. 

“You get to the point where you just have lost all confidence in the media to do anything sensible,” Stu said. “And you wonder, like, is it because you have a bunch of hardcore socialists in the media?  Umm, well, yes.  But secondly, secondarily, because they lean left, they don’t even attempt to understand the arguments of people that are conservative and they stretch so far to justify the failures of the administration.  They look at this president’s record, and anytime they can carve out anything that wasn’t his fault.”

Dear Mr. President:

You are acutely aware that the history of liberty is a history of civil disobedience to unjust laws or practices. As Edmund Burke sermonized, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

Civil disobedience is not the first, but the last option. Henry David Thoreau wrote with profound restraint in Civil Disobedience: “If the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go: perchance it will wear smooth certainly the machine will wear out. If the injustice has a spring, or a pulley, or a rope, or a crank, exclusively for itself, then perhaps you may consider whether the remedy will not be worse than the evil; but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine.”

Thoreau’s moral philosophy found expression during the Nuremburg trials in which “following orders” was rejected as a defense. Indeed, military law requires disobedience to clearly illegal orders.

A dark chapter in America’s World War II history would not have been written if the then United States Attorney General had resigned rather than participate in racist concentration camps imprisoning 120,000 Japanese American citizens and resident aliens.

Civil disobedience to the Fugitive Slave Act and Jim Crow laws provoked the end of slavery and the modern civil rights revolution.


We submit that Edward J. Snowden’s disclosures of dragnet surveillance of Americans under § 215 of the Patriot Act, § 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendments, or otherwise were sanctioned by Thoreau’s time-honored moral philosophy and justifications for civil disobedience. Since 2005, Mr. Snowden had been employed by the intelligence community. He found himself complicit in secret, indiscriminate spying on millions of innocent citizens contrary to the spirit if not the letter of the First and Fourth Amendments and the transparency indispensable to self-government. Members of Congress entrusted with oversight remained silent or Delphic. Mr. Snowden confronted a choice between civic duty and passivity. He may have recalled the injunction of Martin Luther King, Jr.: “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it.” Mr. Snowden chose duty. Your administration vindictively responded with a criminal complaint alleging violations of the Espionage Act.

From the commencement of your administration, your secrecy of the National Security Agency’s Orwellian surveillance programs had frustrated a national conversation over their legality, necessity, or morality. That secrecy (combined with congressional nonfeasance) provoked Edward’s disclosures, which sparked a national conversation which you have belatedly and cynically embraced. Legislation has been introduced in both the House of Representatives and Senate to curtail or terminate the NSA’s programs, and the American people are being educated to the public policy choices at hand. A commanding majority now voice concerns over the dragnet surveillance of Americans that Edward exposed and you concealed. It seems mystifying to us that you are prosecuting Edward for accomplishing what you have said urgently needed to be done!

The right to be left alone from government snooping–the most cherished right among civilized people—is the cornerstone of liberty. Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson served as Chief Prosecutor at Nuremburg. He came to learn of the dynamics of the Third Reich that crushed a free society, and which have lessons for the United States today.

Writing in Brinegar v. United States, Justice Jackson elaborated:

    The Fourth Amendment states: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

These, I protest, are not mere second-class rights but belong in the catalog of indispensable freedoms. Among deprivations of rights, none is so effective in cowing a population, crushing the spirit of the individual and putting terror in every heart. Uncontrolled search and seizure is one of the first and most effective weapons in the arsenal of every arbitrary government. And one need only briefly to have dwelt and worked among a people possessed of many admirable qualities but deprived of these rights to know that the human personality deteriorates and dignity and self-reliance disappear where homes, persons and possessions are subject at any hour to unheralded search and seizure by the police.

We thus find your administration’s zeal to punish Mr. Snowden’s discharge of civic duty to protect democratic processes and to safeguard liberty to be unconscionable and indefensible.

We are also appalled at your administration’s scorn for due process, the rule of law, fairness, and the presumption of innocence as regards Edward.

On June 27, 2013, Mr. Fein wrote a letter to the Attorney General stating that Edward’s father was substantially convinced that he would return to the United States to confront the charges that have been lodged against him if three cornerstones of due process were guaranteed. The letter was not an ultimatum, but an invitation to discuss fair trial imperatives. The Attorney General has sneered at the overture with studied silence.

We thus suspect your administration wishes to avoid a trial because of constitutional doubts about application of the Espionage Act in these circumstances, and obligations to disclose to the public potentially embarrassing classified information under the Classified Information Procedures Act.

Further Evidence Obama Orchestrated IRS Targeting of Tea Party Groups?

Posted by Dave Jolly

In his usual ‘not me’ fashion, President Barack Obama claimed he had no knowledge of the IRS targeting of tea party and conservative groups until just before the public announcement. With the mounting evidence, I find Obama’s denials to be a lie and offensive to the American people.  He is not enough of a man to own up to his mistakes when caught with his hand in the cookie jar.  Instead, he tells America it’s someone else’s hand and not his.

On May 31, I provided evidence that IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman had visited the White House more than any other Cabinet member.  In fact, he visited the White House more times than the combined visits of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius and former Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.  It’s hard to believe that Obama had no clue what was going on in the IRS when he spent more time with IRS leadership than with anyone else in the Cabinet.

Washington IRS officials tried to lay the blame for the targeting on the Cincinnati IRS employees, but several of them have sworn under oath that their orders came from Washington and they were not acting on their own accord.

Now The Daily Caller reports that William Wilkins, IRS Chief Legal Counsel, met with President Obama just two days prior to when the new IRS policy of targeting tea party and conservative groups was handed down.  Furthermore, Carter Hull, a retiring IRS agent, named Wilkins as one of his supervisors who were involved in handing down the targeting directives.  The timeline of events as reported by the TDC are:

“IRS chief counsel William Wilkins, who was named in House Oversight testimony by retiring IRS agent Carter Hull as one of his supervisors in the improper targeting of conservative groups, met with Obama in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on April 23, 2012. Wilkins’ boss, then-IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman, visited the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on April 24, 2012, according to White House visitor logs.”

“On April 25, 2012, Wilkins’ office sent the exempt organizations determinations unit ‘additional comments on the draft guidance’ for approving or denying tea party tax-exempt applications, according to the IRS inspector general’s report.”

“Wilkins’ meeting with Obama on April 23 was attended by 13 people.”

Would you believe that Wilkins is one of Obama’s two appointees to the IRS?  Before his appointment, he worked as a lobbyist for WilmerHale, spending most of his time:

“…counseling nonprofit organizations, business entities, and investment funds on tax compliance, business transactions, and government investigations.”

While at WilmerHale, Wilkins was tasked with defending Obama’s longtime personal pastor and religious advisor, Jeremiah Wright, when he was charged with violating the church’s non-profit status by promoting Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign from the pulpit.  Wilkins was successful in his defense of Wright.  Officially, Wilkin’s defense of Wright was a pro bono case, but he was duly paid for his services in July 2009 when Obama appointed him to be the Chief Legal Counsel of the IRS.

I’ve seen people convicted of murder and all sorts of crimes based on evidence like this.  Obama had motive and opportunity to get the IRS to do some of his dirty work.  It’s never bothered the President to violate the law or the Constitution in the past, so this was no different.  I believe he is guilty of orchestrating the whole thing and that he needs to be removed from office and imprisoned for life.

Noonan: A Bombshell in the IRS Scandal

No, it wasn't confined to a few rogue workers in Cincinnati

 

• smaller
• Larger

The IRS scandal was connected this week not just to the Washington office—that had been established—but to the office of the chief counsel.

That is a bombshell—such a big one that it managed to emerge in spite of an unfocused, frequently off-point congressional hearing in which some members seemed to have accidentally woken up in the middle of a committee room, some seemed unaware of the implications of what their investigators had uncovered, one pretended that the investigation should end if IRS workers couldn't say the president had personally called and told them to harass his foes, and one seemed to be holding a filibuster on Pakistan.

Still, what landed was a bombshell. And Democrats know it. Which is why they are so desperate to make the investigation go away. They know, as Republicans do, that the chief counsel of the IRS is one of only two Obama political appointees in the entire agency.

To quickly review why the new information, which came most succinctly in a nine-page congressional letter to IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel, is big news:

IRS Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division revenue agent Elizabeth Hofacre, left, and retired IRS tax law specialist Carter Hull testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Capitol Hill on Thursday.

When the scandal broke two months ago, in May, IRS leadership in Washington claimed the harassment of tea-party and other conservative groups requesting tax-exempt status was confined to the Cincinnati office, where a few rogue workers bungled the application process. Lois Lerner, then the head of the exempt organizations unit in Washington, said "line people
in Cincinnati" did work that was "not so fine." They asked questions that "weren't really necessary," she claimed, and operated without "the appropriate level of sensitivity." But the targeting was "not intentional." Ousted acting commissioner Steven Miller also put it off on "people in Cincinnati." They provided "horrible customer service."

House investigators soon talked to workers in the Cincinnati office, who said everything they did came from Washington. Elizabeth Hofacre, in charge of processing tea-party applications in Cincinnati, told investigators that her work was overseen and directed by a lawyer in the IRS Washington office named Carter Hull.

Now comes Mr. Hull's testimony. And like Ms. Hofacre, he pointed his finger upward. Mr. Hull—a 48-year IRS veteran and an expert on tax exemption law—told investigators that tea-party applications under his review were sent upstairs within the Washington office, at the direction of Lois Lerner.

In April 2010, Hull was assigned to scrutinize certain tea-party applications. He requested more information from the groups. After he received responses, he felt he knew enough to determine whether the applications should be approved or denied.

But his recommendations were not carried out.

Michael Seto, head of Mr. Hull's unit, also spoke to investigators. He told them Lois Lerner made an unusual decision: Tea-party applications would undergo additional scrutiny—a multilayered review.

Mr. Hull told House investigators that at some point in the winter of 2010-11, Ms. Lerner's senior adviser, whose name is withheld in the publicly released partial interview transcript, told him the applications would require further review:

Q: "Did [the senior adviser to Ms. Lerner] indicate to you whether she agreed with your recommendations?"

A: "She did not say whether she agreed or not. She said it should go to chief counsel."

Q: "The IRS chief counsel?"

A: "The IRS chief counsel."

The IRS chief counsel is named William Wilkins. And again, he is one of only two Obama political appointees in the IRS.

What was the chief counsel's office looking for? The letter to Mr. Werfel says Mr. Hull's supervisor, Ronald Shoemaker, provided insight: The counsel's office wanted, in the words of the congressional committees, "information about the applicants' political activities leading up to the 2010 election." Mr. Shoemaker told investigators he didn't find that kind of question unreasonable, but he found the counsel's office to be "not very forthcoming": "We discussed it to some extent and they indicated that they wanted more development of possible political activity or political intervention right before the election period."

It's almost as if—my words—the conservative organizations in question were, during two major election cycles, deliberately held in a holding pattern.

So: What the IRS originally claimed was a rogue operation now reaches up not only to the Washington office, but into the office of the IRS chief counsel himself.

At the generally lacking House Oversight Committee Hearings on Thursday, some big things still got said.

Ms. Hofacre of the Cincinnati office testified that when she was given tea-party applications, she had to kick them upstairs. When she was given non-tea-party applications, they were sent on for normal treatment. Was she told to send liberal or progressive groups for special scrutiny? No, she did not scrutinize the applications of liberal or progressive groups. "I would send those to general inventory." Who got extra scrutiny? "They were all tea-party and patriot cases." She became "very frustrated" by the "micromanagement" from Washington. "It was like working in lost luggage." She applied to be transferred.

For his part, Mr. Hull backed up what he'd told House investigators. He described what was, essentially, a big, lengthy runaround in the Washington office in which no one was clear as to their reasons but everything was delayed. The multitiered scrutiny of the targeted groups was, he said, "unusual."

It was Maryland's Rep. Elijah Cummings, the panel's ranking Democrat, who, absurdly, asked Ms. Hofacre if the White House called the Cincinnati office to tell them what to do and whether she has knowledge of the president of the United States digging through the tax returns of citizens. Ms. Hofacre looked surprised. No, she replied.

It wasn't hard to imagine her thought bubble: Do congressmen think presidents call people like me and say, "Don't forget to harass my enemies"? Are congressmen that stupid?

Mr. Cummings is not, and his seeming desperation is telling. Recent congressional information leads to Washington—and now to very high up at the IRS. Meaning this is the point at which a scandal goes nowhere or, maybe, everywhere.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, a South Carolina Republican, finally woke the proceedings up with what he called "the evolution of the defense" since the scandal began. First, Ms. Lerner planted a question at a conference. Then she said the Cincinnati office did it—a narrative that was advanced by the president's spokesman, Jay Carney. Then came the suggestion the IRS was too badly managed to pull off a sophisticated conspiracy. Then the charge that liberal groups were targeted too—"we did it against both ends of the political spectrum." When the inspector general of the IRS said no, it was conservative groups that were targeted, he came under attack. Now the defense is that the White House wasn't involved, so case closed.

This is one Republican who is right about evolution.

Those trying to get to the bottom of the scandal have to dig in, pay attention. The administration's defenders, and their friends in the press, have made some progress in confusing the issue through misdirection and misstatement.

This is the moment things go forward or stall. Republicans need to find out how high the scandal went and why, exactly, it went there. To do that they'll have to up their game.

As             an opinion writer of nearly twenty years now, thousands of reader             responses over those years taught me one thing above all else, that             Americans are nothing if not opinionated. No matter what side you             take on any issue, you will find those who agree and those who disagree,             as well as those who admittedly just don’t know.

Best             I can tell after years of engagement with readers all across the country             and around the globe, our society breaks down into only a few categories…

•             Those who think self-serving global Marxism is the future • Those who think self-indulgent anarchy is             the future • Those who aren’t aware of the present,             much less the future • Those who know history and are frightened             of our future • Those who are ready to fight for our future,             driven by our past

People             who think government is responsible for their happiness are not happy.             People who know it is government that is stealing their right to pursue             happiness are not happy either. But is anyone really good and pissed             off yet?

No             matter which group someone resides in, they are not happy with our             current government. Congress is at an all-time low 6% public approval             rating with Republicans controlling the House and Democrats controlling             the Senate. Over 70% of Americans have no faith in the U.S. Supreme             Court as defender of Constitutional Law and the vast majority of Americans             can’t even figure out who the guy is sitting in our White House              “fundamentally changing America” into something it was             never intended to be, part of some left-wing global Marxist experiment.

Yet,             there are no real signs of any significant uprising by the American             people, who still outnumber the global Marxists and illegal aliens,             at least for the moment.

Divided             by childish turf wars and competing pet agendas, the so-called patriotic             resistance is quite frankly, a joke. No one has been able to muster             even a coffee clutch march on Washington DC since 2009 and most patriot             groups around back then aren’t even around anymore.

In             short, Americans are more focused on America’s Got Talent than             America’s Got Freedom. Americans appear war weary before the             real battle for freedom even begins, and they seem all too ready to             forfeit their future, if you buy the current whining and sniveling             about how “there is nothing we can do” which floods the             blogosphere and email chains these days.

Are             Americans really ready to forfeit?

I             have been trying not to say this for five years now… hoping             that at some point, all so-called patriot groups would drop their             turf wars and pet agendas and unite behind the simple fundamental             cause of decency, honor, freedom, liberty and justice under the rule             of constitutional law. That has not happened…

There             is ONE place where YOU             can join with others in an effort to work together, multiplying             your power in peaceful tangible strategies aimed entirely at the fundamental             cause of freedom, liberty and the rule of law, not Ivy League             lawyers. There are not many places, but there is at least ONE place             where you can find these things if you only choose to join the ranks.

While             it is true that all of the things we used to be able to rely upon,             honorable statesmen, real courts that provide equal justice under             the law and a pro-American administration, are absent today, it is             not true that there is nothing we can do about it…

While             it is true that many competing groups are driven by pet agendas, turf             wars and even profit motives, it is also true that there are people             in this country who are ready to stand together for freedom and liberty.             

While             it is true that there are retired high-ranking military officers more             concerned with their pensions and tee times than the future of this             country, it is also true that there are some who will give all for             the cause of freedom.

While             it is true that some veterans are perfectly happy to sit it out on             the sidelines as long as the beer is flowing at the local VFW, there             are other veterans who live by the oath they took to protect and defend             the U.S. Constitution and the American people from all enemies, foreign             and domestic.

The             question is… where do you stand?

If             you are ready to forfeit, to throw in the towel on American freedom             and liberty, then you can sit it out anywhere you like. All the way             back at the first American Revolution, 1/3 sat it out perfectly fine             with British rule, and another 1/3 was completely unaware. The last             1/3 paid the price of freedom and liberty for all…

I             suspect that not much has changed since then… Real Americans             don’t take an oath to stand down in the face of illegal orders              -- they accept an oath to rise up against all enemies, foreign and             domestic. Real Americans aren’t shackled by political or legal             processes run amok -- they toss off their chains and right their ship.

At             best -- only 1/3 of Americans will pay the price of freedom and liberty             for all again. Are you one of them? Are we still the home of the brave?             -- Because if we aren’t, then we are no longer the land of the             free.

With             more than 300 million Americans in this country today, we should have             100 million (1/3) ready to determine the future of this country peacefully             and if we do, then less than a thousand corrupt politicians and lawyers             in Washington DC don’t have a chance. There is much we can do!

Because             the broad patriot movement has been moving in opposite directions,             focused on competing pet agendas and stacking up defeat after defeat             for better than five years now, a very different kind of organization             was formed by the type of Americans who still believe in freedom,             liberty and justice for all.

This             group is self-funded – very focused – totally united –              capable and determined to win. It was formed by and is run by true             patriots, the kind of veterans             willing to give all for freedom and legal             experts ready to fight evil on all fronts. All we need is more             like us…. Is that you?

Most             Americans will not answer any call to join the ranks of anything they             suspect to be real and they will have a plethora of excuses. Some             will directly attack this column for being so bold as to distinguish             between sunshine patriots and real patriots. We are not looking for             those kind of Americans… we are looking for a special kind of             American. -- The kind that founded and built the greatest nation ever             known to mankind.

Is             there really nothing we can do? Or are most Americans just not willing             to do the things that must be done peacefully, before violent alternatives             are all that remain?

Thousands             of Americans have taken to the streets over the sad and tragic death             of one teenager in the wrong place at the wrong time. Where are the             millions of Americans who have seen the death of three thousand Americans             on September 11, 2001 – or the four Americans left defenseless             by our government in Benghazi – or the members of SEAL TEAM             6 that died with a target painted on their backs by Joseph Biden,             Barack Obama and Leon Panetta?

What             difference does it make?

Contrary             to Hillary Clinton’s proclamation that none of these people             or incidents matter, they matter very much. They make all the difference             in the world…

Are             YOU the type of American who will join with others who demand answers             and solutions? Or are you the type of American afraid to be associated             with this type of Americans?

Are             you the type of American who sits around wondering what’s happening,             or ignoring what’s happening with a sense of defeat? Or are             you the type of American committed to making the right things happen,             no matter the odds? Are you the “only violence can save America”              type, or the “we must do all we can before the violence”              type?

Not             every American is well-suited for freedom and liberty and as a result,             many are willing to live in bondage rather than pay the price of freedom.             What type of American are you?

I             didn’t bother attacking the overtly anti-American media here,             because if we still had Americans in America, they would be completely             irrelevant by now.

If             you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, JOIN             ME! We work tangible strategies at the local, state and federal             level, from the legislative, legal and military sides. We are NOT             a PAC because individuals should give political donations only directly             to the candidates of their choice.

Our             members are doing everything they can. But as Lee states it quite             well, we             are too few! If you are the type of American that will pay the             price of freedom and liberty for all those who will never even thank             you, please JOIN             US! We need YOU and America needs YOU more than ever before…

Time             is growing short… Be the hero you were born to be. The alternative             is horrific. Don’t forfeit our future… Help us decide             our own destiny.

Rachel Maddow, Your Attempt At Slander Failed

Hello, I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. And I’m under massive attack by the mainstream media and Barack Obama’s defenders. (Oh right, I repeated myself). I must be doing something right. I must be scaring the Obama socialist cabal to death. I must be hitting a bulls-eye with my opinions.

This past week, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow tried to defame and slander me in a bizarre, rambling 15-minute diatribe on her national TV show. Fifteen minutes on national TV about me. Thank you, Rachel, that’s quite an honor coming from you.

Maddow even gave me a name, “birther.” It sounds similar to “murderer,” except it means only that I dared ask questions about Obama. Funny enough, none of those questions has ever involved his birth or birth certificate. Never. Not once. But hysterical defenders of Obama never let a fact get in the way of a good slander.

Rather than attacking a patriotic American, shouldn’t journalists like Maddow be asking questions of the President? Do the answers to the questions I asked scare her that much? Am I getting that close to the truth? Do I pose that much of a threat?

Perhaps there is a connection to the media’s refusal to ask these questions of our current President and the problems we’re experiencing:

• An economy in decline.
• No jobs.
• Our own government now violating our rights at every turn.
• It’s using the Internal Revenue Service to intimidate and punish us.
• It’s using the Environmental Protection Agency to bankrupt the energy industry.
• It’s using the National Security Agency to spy on us
• And it’s using the Federal Reserve to bury our children in debt.
• And it will perhaps soon use drones to kill us — without holding a trial or even hearing the charges.

Every patriotic American — and especially every legitimate journalist — has the responsibility to question the background, character and policies of the person who is the CEO of the world’s most powerful economy, the commander of the world’s most powerful military and the person with his finger on the nuclear button.

Yet if one American actually dares to ask questions about our President, suddenly all hell breaks loose. He gets called names. He is slimed and slandered.

I am that one courageous American. I have many questions about Obama’s background, actions and policies. I’m willing to boldly stand up in public and question and criticize the President. The result: First came vicious IRS attacks. Then, after I beat them again and again, next came the leftist national media attack. Someone is very worried about Wayne Allyn Root.

Saul Alinsky is one of Obama’s heroes and mentors. His book Rules for Radicals, is Obama’s bible, even though Alinsky’s masterpiece is dedicated to Lucifer, the devil. Funny, I’ve never heard the media mention that little fact.

Alinsky’s philosophy is to destroy and discredit any conservative who dares to question you by demonizing him. The strategy is to call him vile names and tell lies, because the end justifies the means. Humiliate and intimidate him so badly, the critic will hide under the covers, never to be seen again. In this case, Maddow’s goal is not only to destroy Wayne Allyn Root, but also to warn other conservatives that if they dare question the President, they too will get the same treatment. So stop asking questions!

My personal story is the achievement of the American dream. The son of a blue-collar butcher, I graduated from Columbia University (class of ’83 with my classmate Obama). Through discipline, sacrifice, personal responsibility, work ethic, enthusiasm for capitalism and a relentless attitude, I became a successful entrepreneur. This has allowed me to give more time to my passion: politics. I became the Vice Presidential nominee of the Libertarian Party, a media personality on FOX News and conservative talk radio, and the author of the national bestseller The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide. I am also the home-school dad of four beautiful children, including a daughter at Harvard and Oxford.

Because of all this success and my media megaphone, Obama’s defenders have me on their radar. I’ve got a bulls-eye on my back. I’m making a difference. And I’m obviously scaring powerful people on the left. In one rambling, raving diatribe on national TV, Maddow slimed me and reduced me to one curse word: “birther.” Let me repeat: I’ve never been a birther. Ever. Not once have I ever questioned any aspect of Obama’s birth or birth certificate.

Alinsky would be proud. This is how you destroy your political opposition, silence dissent and socialize America. This is how big government takes over a once-proud Nation of individuals.

Maddow isn’t alone. In the past few weeks, since I’ve asked critical questions and made common-sense predictions about Obama’s true agenda, Obama’s IRS scandal and the mysterious story of Obama’s years at Columbia University, I’ve come under withering attack from across the liberal media. Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show, Mother Jones magazine, liberal bloggers and now Maddow and MSNBC have made attacking Wayne Allyn Root a national pastime. The attacks intensified as The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide rose on the bestseller list. Coincidence?

Last month, even CNN host Piers Morgan tried to discredit me and bait me into a slugfest on CNN. At least he had the class to do it to my face. Give Morgan credit. Maddow, on the other hand, wouldn’t take the chance to debate me face to face. Rachel, why are you so afraid of the truth?

Maddow gave me so much airtime she might as well have named me “the most evil man in the world.” I’ve been in the TV and entertainment business my whole life. I know full well that no TV host would ever dedicate 15 minutes of a national TV show to one outspoken critic of the President. Not unless they are seriously worried. Not unless he’s hit a bulls-eye.

Maddow’s attack on me is certainly a show of desperation. I’m obviously getting too close to the truth. In the military they say, “You know you’ve reached the target when you start getting hit by flak.”

If I’m so unimportant, why is the liberal media so intent on destroying me? If my instincts about Obama’s scandals are so wrong, why are they so intent on discrediting me? If I’m just some kook, why would Maddow even pay attention to me? Why give me so much precious time on national TV? Does Maddow read PersonalLiberty.com? I didn’t know liberals cared so much what we said here.

But perhaps Maddow has spilled the beans. Perhaps this is a clue that I’m not so unimportant. Perhaps the left knows that I’ve stumbled onto the storyline that could destroy the Obama Presidency. Perhaps they’re afraid far too many Americans are reading about Obama’s purposeful plan to overwhelm the system and destroy capitalism that I unveiled in The Ultimate Obama Survival Guide.

Perhaps they are worried my story about the IRS scandal has legs. I was the first in the country to report a year ago that this IRS scandal is massive and involves the IRS going after individual critics of the President and top GOP donors.

Perhaps my gut instincts about how Obama might have committed fraud to gain entrance to Columbia University is striking chords. Something about Wayne Root has set off alarm bells among Obama’s defenders. They are sweating and panicking. They are desperate to discredit and destroy my reputation.

Rachel, methinks thou protests too much. Remember: I’m from Las Vegas and play a mean game of poker. You’ve tipped your hand. You’re playing with a pair of 2s, you know I’ve got a full house, and you and your liberal friends are obviously desperate to bluff me out of the game.

Newsflash: You failed.

You’ll be sad to know I played to full houses, standing room only, at both FreedomFest and the GOP Women’s Gala in Las Vegas this weekend. The GOP event had to turn guests away. And your slander helped raise thousands of dollars at this weekend’s GOP Women’s Gala. By the way, the highest bid of the event was for a private dinner at the home of Wayne Allyn Root. Sorry, Rachel: You lose.

I draw three conclusions:

• There is a God.
• Alinsky is rolling over in his grave.
• Thank you, Rachel, from the bottom of my Republican conservative heart. You’re the gift that keeps on giving.

I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. See you next week right back here. Same time, same place. God Bless America.
