NAACP Ruins Their Own Reputation

NAACP Executive Caught on Tape Lying About Tea Party Attendance

If the NAACP Will Lie About This, What Else Might Its Leadership Be Lying About?

Washington, D.C. - In appearances on the Fox News Channel this week, NAACP executive Hilary Shelton claimed he attended a major tea party event despite having said three days before that he had not attended a tea party, was "afraid" to go to a tea party rally and had only watched media reports about them.

"Did Hilary Shelton lie to me?" asked Deneen Borelli, full-time fellow with the Project 21 black leadership network. "If he can't give a simple, straightforward answer about whether he has been to a tea party, that certainly calls the truthfulness of his other claims about the tea party movement into question."

On the July 16 edition of "America's Newsroom" on the Fox News Channel, Borelli and Shelton — the NAACP's senior vice president for advocacy — debated the merits of the NAACP's resolution decrying alleged instances of racism at tea party events. In this debate, Shelton claimed to have attended the tea party rally at the U.S. Capitol on the weekend of the House of Representative's vote on health care:

Borelli: "Have you been to a tea party?"

Shelton: "I was. As a matter of fact I was on Capitol Hill at that tea party rally "

However, on the July 13 edition of "America Live," he had a different answer when asked the same question by Phil Dennis of the Dallas Tea Party:

Dennis: "Have you been to a tea party event?"

Shelton: "I have watched you on TV. I'm afraid to go I have not."

Which is it?

"The increasing politicization of the NAACP is putting the reputation of this venerable civil rights institution at risk. For it to be allowed to be used as a weapon to attack the tea party movement calls its credibility into question, and Hilary Shelton telling two tales of his interactions with the tea party is troubling," added Borelli. "I would suggest he take the time to read the tea party's Contract from America and attend a tea party rally — for the first or second time — with an open mind."

Video of both interviews can be seen at http://tw0.us/Jho.

Borelli has a statement about the NAACP's racism allegations at theBigGovernment.com website at http://tw0.us/Jhh and another at the FoxNews.com website at http://tw0.us/Jhi , has appeared repeatedly on the Fox News Channel to discuss the issue (clips at theSunnyDayAmerica YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/SunnyDayAmerica), and joined in a press release condemning the NAACP allegations with other members of Project 21 in a press release at http://tw0.us/Jhk and in a series of statements atBigGovernment.com.

Project 21, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization sponsored by the National Center for Public Policy Research, has been a leading voice of the African-American community since 1992. For more information about the history of Project 21, visit the Project 21 website.

Quote of the Day

"Dr. Berwick (who has professed his love for Britain's government-run National Health Service) thinks that the secret to improving American health care is having experts in Washington dictate prices and force process reforms on thousands of hospitals, hundreds of thousands of physicians, and tens of millions of patients, by sheer dint of ambition and will. Alas, he has fallen victim to the Harvard Disease: the idea that having experts peer through reams of data will lead to system wide improvements."

Quote of the Day

"I guarantee you if a Jewish group had proposed building a synagogue or if a Christian group had proposed a mega-church or cathedral in the middle of one of the large Muslim neighborhoods in New York, local officials would have found a way to deny the permits. But when it comes to the demands of Islamists local officials, possibly concerned about their heads, have allowed this plan to go forward.

The project’s supporters claim that a mosque rising from the ashes of Ground Zero simply demonstrates America’s great tolerance. I believe they are naïve. The mosque will be known as the Cordoba House, and the historical significance of that name cannot be ignored. The Cordoba mosque in Spain was built in the 8th century on the foundation of the church of St. Vincent to signify Islam’s conquest of Spain.

Building mosques on the sacred ground of conquered lands is an Islamic tradition – consider the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. A 15-story, $100 million mosque at Ground Zero would send an unmistakable message to the Muslim world that America is weak, decadent and will eventually be claimed for Allah."

10 Reasons to Call your Senator about the Kagan Hearings

It's time to let your voice be heard on the Kagan nomination!

1. Elena Kagan brings no judicial experience to the table.

2. The Supreme Court will likely hear arguments on the constitutionality of Obamacare in the next few years. Elena Kagan could be the deciding vote on Obamacare.

3. Elena Kagan is a political ideologue-she has worked for a string of liberal Democrats including: Bill Clinton, Janet Reno, Barack Obama and Eric Holder.

4. As Dean of Harvard's Law School, Elena Kagan banned US military recruiters from the campus. She lost her battle when the Supreme Court unanimously upheld the law in 2006.

5. Elena Kagan's stand on several social issues could demonstrate that she would impose personal views in her rulings instead of adhering to the law. We need justices who will strictly interpret the constitution.

6. Elena Kagan has praised Israeli activist Judge Aharon Barak as "her hero." Judge Barak is considered to be one of the worst activist judges. In his book, The Judge in a Democracy, Barak writes, "a good judge is a judge who, within the bounds of legitimate possibilities, makes law that, more than other law he is authorized to make, best bridges the gap between law and society and best protects the constitution and its values. He also says that judges should go "beyond actually deciding the dispute."

7. Elena Kagan is a Litigation Committee member of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). The AAUP is censoring a long list of conservative schools.

8. Elena Kagan has a troubling record on the Second Amendment.

9. There are surprisingly few pieces of documentation representing Kagan's beliefs and where she stands on the issues.

10. Elena Kagan has donated over $12,050 to Democratic campaigns over a span of 8 years.

Democrats Own the 'Culture of Corruption'

Delving into the Democrat's DISCLOSE ACT

The United States House of Representatives recently passed the Democrats' DISCLOSE Act ("Democracy is Strengthened by Casting Light on Spending in Elections") in a vote of 219-206. Only two Republicans voted for the bill; Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA) and Rep. Mike Castle (R-DE). 36 Democrats voted against the bill.

The bill was authored by Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) who chairs the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in an attempt to "right the wrongs" that Democrats claim the recent Supreme Court Citizens United decision opened.

The bill stifles free speech under the first amendment by requiring small businesses, corporations, and non-profit organizations to electronically file burdensome financial disclosure forms (which don't even exist yet) within 24 hours of independent expenditures; a $10,000 penalty is the result of failure to comply.

527s, unions, and non-profits will be required to disclose the identities of individuals contributing over $600. Union dues are well under $600, so they will be exempt from this requirement.

In a deal to insure passage of the bill, Rep. Van Hollen provided an exemption for the NRA from the disclosure requirements. He also expanded the exemption to cover other large special interest groups, like the Sierra Club, who would have had serious objections to the bill.

The bill is now in the Senate. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is sponsoring the Senate bill (S. 3295) which is expected to be taken up before the August 9th recess. If passed in its current form, the law will take effect in 3o days, which will make it applicable to this November's elections. The Federal Election Commission will not have a chance to draw up clear guidelines in regards to the legislation.

This act is little more than a cheap political move by Democrats to control who can speak out on issues.

Contact your Senator today and tell them to vote NO to the DISCLOSE ACT!

"According to Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unemployment benefits are the best way to create jobs, so why didn’t she get with Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and press him to schedule a pre-recess vote on the Republican alternative to the Democrat’s jobs/unemployment benefits bill introduced on June 30, 2010 by Senator Scott Brown (R-MA).

Brown’s bill is deficit neutral and could easily solve the current problems in passing the unemployment benefits package..."

Mosque in NYC

In this video a courageous, no nonsense Brit who has experienced Islam destroying his own country tells it all. He is shocked by the dolts who run America allowing Islam to literally spit in our face by constructing a huge Mosque right adjacent to Ground Zero, the 9/11 site of the Twin Towers massacre in New York City.

Quote of the Day

"As a matter of finance, and of psychology, it is important for the Infidels, in North America and Western Europe, to stop paying for Muslims, and above all to end the growing conviction, on both sides, that somehow this further transfer of wealth (beyond the sums that go for oil and gas) is actually somehow coming to the Muslim Arabs, that they are "owed" it -- and that if we stop, they will be angry with us (they will) and things will go hard with us (they won't). That is the classic attitude of both Infidel giver and Muslim taker. It accompanies the yielding-up to Muslim masters by non-Muslims of the Jizyah in the classic Islamic polity."

"Here is the future of the abortion debate: Pro-aborts, under the crushing weight of modern science, will be forced to admit that the developing unborn embryo is indeed human life.

However, this won't stop them from advocating murder of these tiny humans. Rather, they will "reframe" the debate in utilitarian terms. In other words, as this feminist writer proposes after admitting that life begins at conception, killing unborn children is a "lesser evil" than impeding a woman's "right" to "control her fertility.""

"Why is Obama skipping the Senate’s “advice and consent” requirement for Berwick? I suspect it is because Obama doesn’t want Berwick to be asked any “crucial questions” about his extremely controversial views regarding healthcare rationing, using healthcare “reform” as a vehicle for the redistribution of wealth and his opposition to free markets.

As Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell noted, “Americans’ worst fears about [ObamaCare] are being realized every day. The fact that this administration won’t allow the man charged with implementing the president’s plan to cut $500 billion out of Medicare to testify about his plans for the care of our nation’s seniors is truly outrageous.”
