WePluribUS – Owning the Media, Changing the Paradigm, and Taking Control of Our Country Again

Posted by Scott Rohter on Monday, April 29, 2013

WePluribus is a new and different kind of social network. It follows a completely unconventional model of delivering news and information. It is experimenting with a new approach to social networking. Not only is WePluribUS an interactive platform, but it also aspires to be member owned one day. Instead of merely broadcasting the news to thousands of couch potato consumers who are passively glued to their TV sets or to their computer monitors…Instead of just sharing mainstream media posts between thousands of Facebook User Timelines, WePluribUS actually wants to change the paradigm…

Eyes in the Skies over America – The Disturbing Presence of Video Surveillance in our Lives

Posted by Scott Rohter on Saturday, April 27, 2013

There have been enough violations of our civil liberties, enough infringements of our Constitutionally guaranteed Rights, enough warrantless searches in the name of National security, enough video surveillance of law abiding Americans, and enough immigration from Muslim countries… Enough is enough. We are a Nation that is too deeply divided…

Boston Marathon Bombers? Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev……. Were They Just Two Ordinary Young Men from Chechnya?

Posted by Scott Rohter on Saturday, April 20, 2013

Four people are dead including one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects. More than 170 innocent bystanders are injured. Some of them are horribly disfigured. Is Allah going on the warpath again. The Boston Marathon bombing is just the latest in a series of terrorist events blamed on Muslims that were committed on American soil that have resulted from our fatally flawed immigration policy…

Marco Rubio Stars in the Wizard of Illegal Immigration

Posted by Scott Rohter on Thursday, April 11, 2013

How many Republican members of Congress are so naive that they believe they can work together with Democrats to create immigration laws which are actually good for our country? There are quite a few actually…

Life could be Better Living in a Blue State – Getting Tough on Illegal Immigration

Posted by Scott Rohter on Monday, April 1, 2013

According to reliable estimates there are about 20 million illegal aliens from Mexico, and Central and South America living and hiding somewhere in the United States. It is generally assumed that the legal Hispanic community living in the U.S.A. naturally supports this illegal invasion of our country. But that is simply not true! Pandering to Hispanics is not necessary. It is not helpful, and it is not going to grow the Republican Party!

Protecting or Not Protecting Oregon’s Historic Goodpasture Covered Bridge over the McKenzie River

Posted by Scott Rohter on Saturday, March 30, 2013

Now that the repair work on the historic Goodpasture Covered Bridge is done, our Lane County Board of Commissioners should start considering how to best protect the bridge and the taxpayer’s investment in the newly renovated bridge.. However since they really didn’t spend much of the local taxpayer’s money, to fix it, they enjoy a certain amount of insulation from the cause and effect of the deliberate heavy use of the bridge by commercial logging operations.

Supreme Court to Decide on Same Sex Marriage

Posted by Scott Rohter on Tuesday, March 26, 2013

On the grand scale of things, the Supreme Court hearing this week on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California’s decision to ban same sex marriage might not be very high on your list of things to be most worried about. What with our country running up a 16 ½ trillion dollar debt and a runaway illegal alien amnesty bill heading right down the tracks, some people might think there are bigger fish to fry. And they might be excused for feeling like that. But I am sure that the LGBT community doesn’t feel that way…

Mother Marco May I

Posted by Scott Rohter on Monday, March 25, 2013

Conservatives should stay away from Marco Rubio, and if they know what’s good for them they should stay away from his mother too. Marco Rubio is the new Republican con man, and he is also his mother’s son. If we are dumb enough to fall for this latest Republican pretender the same way we fell for Scott Brown a couple of years ago in Massachusetts, then we deserve whatever we get…

Sweet Deals, Sweet Drinks, and Sweet Dreams – Inside The Democrat Culture of Corruption !

Posted by Scott Rohter on Sunday, March 17, 2013

Richard Blum is the head of America’s largest commercial real estate company. He is also the husband of one of the Nation’s most powerful U.S. Senators, Diane Feinstein. She is a Democrat from northern California who sits on many of the Senate’s most important committees, so it should probably come as no surprise to find out that her husband has been chosen by the United States Postal Service to sell off many of its valuable commercial real estate assets…

The Muslim Concept of Collective Guilt as it Pertains to Infidels

RINOS Rule… in the Republican Party – A Bridge to Somewhere from a Position of Nowhere

Posted by Scott Rohter on Wednesday, February 13, 2013

RINOS still rule the Republican Party in spite of all the hard work and determination of the Tea Party. Republican conservatives and libertarians keep fighting with each other, and shooting each other in the foot while RINOS remain solidly in control of the Republican Party. If we are not careful that is still the way it is going to be in four years. How does that sound for a winning political strategy in 2014?

Oregon Un-Republican Party! Is Michelle Malkin unknowingly helping to elect more RINOs in Oregon?

Posted by Scott Rohter on Monday, February 11, 2013

They have to pay a national celebrity to come here to speak at their annual Lincoln Day dinner just in order to get Lane County Republicans to contribute enough money to keep the lights and heat on at their local Republican Party headquarters. Lured by the prospect of hobnobbing with a real media personality, some local Republicans pony up as much as 500 dollars a plate to keep their failing Party alive. I wonder if Michelle Malkin actually knows how she is being used in the effort to help elect more RINOs in Oregon…

Gun Violence in America – Why do Democrats always talk about Violence committed with Guns at the Expense of other Forms of Violent Behavior especially the Murder of Innocent, Little Unborn Babies in the Womb?

Posted by Scott Rohter on Saturday, February 9, 2013

The most unsafe place to be in America today is not in America’s inner cities… it is in the womb. So why are Democrats always in such a hurry to take away our guns? Why aren’t they just as concerned about preventing other forms of violence in America, starting with abortion?

The Worst Little Town in America: Coburg, Oregon

Posted by Scott Rohter on Tuesday, February 5, 2013

This small town police department has been warned before by the Oregon Legislature not to use its police department to write traffic tickets along Interstate 5 just to generate money for the town coffers. In the past as much as 80% of the town’s revenue has been derived by writing these questionable traffic tickets along Interstate 5. Today the Coburg Police Department is still generating about 40% of the town’s revenue through its municipal traffic court…

Politics, Smoke, and Mirrors – When Smoke Gets in Our Eyes

Posted by Scott Rohter on Thursday, January 24, 2013

No one likes the sting of smoke in their eyes. And the American people are tired of having smoke blown in their faces by over ambitious young politicians who are running for public office. We want our candidates to be honest…We want them to be candid with us. Afterall the root word of candidate is candid. A candidate is someone who is supposed to be candid. We prefer that our leaders tell us the truth. We would like them to say what they really mean, rather than just tell us what they think we want to hear.

One of the very first things that we are going to see in El Presidente Obama’s second term, just as soon as the Democrats are done attacking our 2nd Amendment, is an all out concerted effort by Democrats with the help of RINO Republicans to grant citizenship to twenty million illegal aliens in our country who provided President Obama with his illegal margin of victory in 2012.

The 2nd Amendment was Not Written for the Purpose of Hunting Deer

It was not placed in the Constitution to ensure that millions of outdoor enthusiasts could continue to exercise their constitutional right to hunt deer, or elk, or wild turkey. It was put there to protect us from a different kind of turkey… the kind that flock to Washington D.C. to exercise power…

I think the mainstream media is just hilarious! The constant drip, drip, drip of the“fiscal cliff” news stories all day long every sixty minutes on the hour is pretty amazing isn’t it? Think about it.
