BUBBA MUST THINK WE'RE CHARLIE BROWN

Bill Clinton, Mr. I did not have sex with that woman Ms. Lewinsky, is now proposing a way to settle the impasse on raising the debt limit... Bubba says simply agree to raise the debt limit now with a promise of raising taxes only after the economy improves... Okay Lucy, you're not going to pull the football away this time, right?

TAX EXEMPT STATUS BEING MISUSED

Cape 912 has applied for a 501c3 tax exempt status, so we will be bound by this to certain legal and ethical practices... It's a shame not everyone feels obligated to do the same...

Are You Subsidizing Media Matters’ War on Fox News? Posted on June 24, 2011 at 5:30pm by Jonathon M. Seidl

Could you be subsidizing a declared war on Fox News?  That question may sound absurd at first, but according to a former lawyer in the administration of the elder George Bush, the answer is yes.

Media Matters, the far-left website that has become a mouthpiece for the Democratic party, currently enjoys tax-exempt status. It’s also declared a war on Fox News, working hard to discredit and attack cable’s most popular news channel. That, says C. Boyden Gray, violates the rules behind receiving tax-free donations. In an op-ed in the Washington Times this week, Gray explains his argument:

MMA’s activities should disallow its tax-exempt status in two fundamental ways. First, IRS rulings make clear that attacks on individuals, statement of positions that are unsupported by facts and use of inflammatory language and other distortions will cost an organization its tax-free status. Second, in declaring “guerrilla warfare” on Fox as the “leader” and “mouthpiece” of the Republican Party and in developing a sophisticated Democratic-leaning media training boot camp, MMA has transformed itself into an aggressive advocate for Democratic and progressive causes and thus produced a second deviation from exempt educational activities.

According to Gray, Media Matters’s tax-exempt status represents “a form of government support for activities that clearly do not merit tax-exempt status and that as a result infringe on Fox News’ First Amendment rights.”

In an interview with Bill O’Reilly last night, Gray explained more:  So what kind of work are you subsidizing? For starters, it’s the dramatic anti-Fox rhetoric and headlines the site puts out on a daily basis:  But that’s really just the tip of the iceberg. What else is the group up to? Well, it loves attacking conservative hosts such as Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. It devotes time every day to monitoring both, cutting and putting up clips it feels are gotcha moments. For example, this week the group published a clip of Limbaugh seemingly comparing Obama to Hitler:  The Huffington Post picked up the piece and overtly drew up the supposed comparison. But a close listen of the audio reveals Limbaugh wasn’t calling Obama Hitler, but rather talking about Obama’s generals, pointing out that they did something similar to Hitler’s generals — mainly tried to stand up to their commander-in-chief.

And finally, just in case you might have thought that Media Matters is an equal-opportunity critic, you’re right. In part. As The Atlantic pointed out this week (via Mediaite), when CNN anchor Ed Henry decided to jump networks to Fox he was immediately targeted by Media Matters (whereas before he was praised):

That was fast. Hours after Ed Henry announced his move from CNN to Fox News as chief White House correspondent, the liberal media watchdog Media Matters has begun painting him as a right-wing nut job. The treatment is par for the course in the world of partisan watchdog groups (we’d expect the same from its conservative archival Newsbusters if a CNN anchor moved to MSNBC). But the group’s rushed denunciation of Henry is a little silly considering the group’s only other articles about Henry this year credit the then-CNN correspondent for debunking Republican Darell Issa’s “false claim” that the stimulus “didn’t create any jobs” and criticizing President Obama’s critics for spreading a “myth” about the president’s India trip costing $200 million.

Is there really any doubt what the group’s agenda is? And if not, should it continue to get a tax break?

“No one would deny anybody the right to use his own or other private funds to criticize media coverage,” Gray writes in the Times. “But equally no one would argue that it would be appropriate for Congress to provide taxpayer funds to organizations for the purpose of financing attacks on free speech. Yet that is the effect of allowing tax deductions for such attacks.”

PFC COREY KENT RETURNING HOME JULY 9TH

Local hero returning home...
Unless you have been living under a rock, you know the story of Pfc. Corey Kent... Pfc. Kent was severely injured in Afghanistan as a member of The United States Army... Corey (though never having met the young man, I'm starting to feel as if I know him) is from right here in Cape Coral and a graduate of Mariner High School... I'll post below all about what is being done to help Corey, but this is about the morning of July 9th... Corey will be arriving home from Walter Reed Army Medical Center for a brief visit and there is nothing we feel would be more fitting than a huge number of Cape 912 members along with the rest of the community being at Southwest Florida International Airport to welcome him home and show our support... Because his arrival conflicts with our normal 10:00am meeting time the meeting has been rescheduled for 2:00pm the same day in the same location... So lets make every effort to be there, and don't forget to wear your Cape 912 attire...


The U.S. Forces Fund...
Here's a link to that other bloggy thing I do, that explains all about The U.S. Forces Fund and all they are doing to help Pfc. Kent and others...

It is with great pride that I'm able to say that Viking Construction, the company I've been fortunate enough to be employed by for the past twenty two years, is donating all the carpentry labor for the addition to Corey's home...

WAY COOL / AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY FOUNDATION



I ran across the picture above at a great blog "It Don't Make Sense" so go there and get the whole story...

Here's something George sent me...

Dear A J,

Last weekend over 1,600 fired up activists from across the country joined us in Minneapolis for our fourth annual RightOnline conference. Speeches from Andrew Breitbart, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Tim Pawlenty, and Michelle Malkin brought down the house.

Click here to see video and pictures from RightOnline

For the fourth straight year we took on the radical left-wing conference, Netroots Nation, at the same time and place.

The mood at each conference couldn’t be any different.

At Netroots Nation the radical left had no defense for their big government agenda that is responsible for our nation’s growing unemployment. At RightOnline we had fired up grassroots conservatives who have the American public on their side. 

Even The New York Times – yes, The New York Times – reported on this contrast:

"judging by the fervor for one’s favorites and animosity toward the opposition, the passion of bloggers seemed to have swung toward conservatives."

Along with over 1,600 activists in Minneapolis, we had over 12,000 others follow our live video stream from home. Click here to see video from the live stream.

The Left is on the run with no response to our growing movement. Netroots Nation is already buying out multiple hotels in Providence, Rhode Island, the location of their 2012 conference.  Their organizer recently said “we just prefer to have [RightOnline] at arm's length."

RightOnline proved what we already know -- the momentum is our side. The American people support cutting spending, less government, and more freedom. The Left can no longer defend their big government agenda.

It’s clear we’re winning. Let’s keep up the fight.

Sincerely,

Tim Phillips

White House Executive Order on Rural Council
 By Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh Full Story
On June 9, 2011, few people paid attention to the Executive Order establishing the White House Rural Council. It was several days before people started inquiring, prompted by a few articles on Agenda 21, including mine.
This piece of legislation from the Oval Office establishes unchecked federal control into rural America in education, food supply, land use, water use, recreation, property, energy, and the lives of 16% of the U.S. population.

SCHMUCK SCHUMER IS AT IT AGAIN / TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE

Thanks Kathy & Anita...
From Kathy Jones, Lee County Patriots:

We have coming up for vote in the Senate a bill Read Bill Here which is a perfect example of Obama’s desire to take control of our republic’s government away from we the people.  The article linked next in blue is a must read by Michael LeMieux
S 679 is an insidious bill introduced by Schmucky Schumer and designed to give Obama and the rest of the communist wanna-bes control over appointments to high level government positions.  With this sweeping bill, over 200 positions will no longer require Senate approval.  Obama will dictate who are his powerful lieutenants and who will control America.  The Senate will merely be a sham to parrot Obama’s dictates.  With this bill, the checks and balances the Constitution provides for will be effectively nullified.
What does that portend you ask? One day, your right to own a gun will be gone, just regulated, not legislated away. Businesses will be nationalized even more than they are now. Heavy regulation will ensue concerning communications and the Internet.  (Your home will be hooked to the Smart Grid whether you want it or not & you may be driving an electric car also. NLRB actions might also ring a bell?)**

Contact Bill Nelson (202) 224-5274Send Email and Marco Rubio (202) 224-3041Send Email and tell them to vote no on S679 – Obama’s czars are bad enough!

DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE "MEETUP"

It's painfully obvious that the majority of you either don't know how or neglect to use MEET UP... <------ Click on it, it doesn't hurt, technology is our friend... The people fighting against us are proficient with the Internet, so we must not waver in our commitment...

Unless you have turned off receiving email from this site, every time a "meetup" is posted, you should receive a notice via email... The act of opening the email takes you directly to the site... From there you are given all the pertinent information, who, what, where and when... It's a simple click to RSVP... You can easily decline, and though should you desire, you can comment, though it's not mandatory... Note, no one who has submitted a "YES" RSVP and then not shown up has been injured or harmed in any way... Do Do happens, my car broke down on the way to a rally...

Your use of this website helps in many ways... 

1. It helps us to better prepare knowing how many will attend...
2. Seeing that "you" are going may help persuade others to come...
3. There is also the false impression that our events aren't well attended, which could have negative consequences on people considering whether or not to join our group...

There are two upcoming meetups scheduled, lets see if we can overload the server with replies...

Finally, I'm not going to continue emailing these posts out much longer, as I'm sure if this isn't your cup of tea, (not to be confused with the TEA Party) you're getting tired of receiving them... At the left side of each of these posts, you can follow by email... Type your email address in the box and hit submit... Shortly (I mean literally seconds later) you will receive a confirmation email in your in box... Open, click on the link to confirm and presto, you're set to receive these every time via email...

Here's a link to the S.W. FLORIDA YOUNG REPUBLICANS website... After being asked to help in the Annual Big Backpack Giveaway, the SWFLYR in turn asked if Cape 912 could help in this effort... We have agreed to donate 1,000 Pocket Constitutions which will be put in the backpacks of children in need here in Lee County... Cape 912 continues our goal of teaching people, especially children the fundamentals of freedom as guaranteed by The Constitution and Bill of Rights...

The Cape 912 is proud to acknowledge Israel as a free and sovereign nation and America's strongest ally in The Middle East... We must be aware that the security of The United States is closely linked with the security of Israel... One of our valued members, Alan Gray, is spearheading a group to help insure the safety of Israel... Here's the email for Alan, please contact him for ways to help and future events planned around this very worthy cause... Alan is currently contacting churches and institutions to bring this to the forefront of every one's attention, but reminded me that it starts with the individual... That would be you and me...

Time is running out (drawing to be on the 4th of July) to purchase your raffle tickets for this beautiful afghan that Susan Pellegrini (that name seems to be popping up a lot) crocheted and donated... This symbol of our great nation is HUGE, measuring 80" x 54"...
Tickets are $5.00 each or (3) for $10.00... Contact us through our email address cape912blog@gmail.com to purchase, we'll trust you to pay up later, after all, we've got the afghan...
