While the bodies of victims are still being pulled from the carnage and mothers still crying for their missing children, Democrats are trying to use Hurricane Sandy to push their global warming agenda. Ah, Rahm has taught them well, never let a crisis go to waste….

Hop, Skip and a Jump
“Winter is coming, but these sweatshirts are perfect for fall.” It sounds like the perfect slogan for the winter front of a department store here in the northern reaches of Maine. Those of us who are beginning to enjoy the cool bite of fall in the air can fully comprehend the message in those words. What is incomprehensible is why the Obama campaign would tweet this campaign message minutes before receiving the bodies from the Libyan consulate attack. Yes, our President had your fall and winter apparel on his mind while the rest of us was recoiling in shock from the brutality of unspeakable monsters.
But it is easy, perhaps, to understand his lack of gravitas in this situation. Three days before the attacks, security officials from these middle-eastern countries warned our Nation that these attacks from terrorists were imminent. The President chose to skip every one of these security meetings in order to keep campaigning and no Marines were sent to protect the Libyan Embassy until after the carnage. Marines at the Cairo Embassy were stripped of live ammunition.
Now his response, in the aftermath, is to blame our freedom of speech. This has prompted the world at large to begin to now openly mock America’s foreign policy. Even liberal columnist, Kirsten Powers, has implored the President to “stop blaming the victims”. This, in light of the fact that the first response from this Administration was to blame a movie for the acts of vile hate, as if someone’s expressed opinion validates a response of murder and hate.
The President and his surrogates have also tried to portray this as an random, spontaneous act, believing that Americans would appreciate rape and pillage better if they felt the terrorists just stumbled into it, forced by the opinions of American filmmaker. Unfortunately, even this silly notion is not founded on any shred of reason or fact. The President of Libya has stated emphatically that this was a coordinated and previously planned attack by Al-Qaeda, meant to coincide with the anniversary of 9/11.
While the President has tried to heap blame on the freedoms and liberties we enjoy in this Nation, Governor Mitt Romney denounced the attacks and refused to apologize for American freedoms, imperfect as the expressions thereof may be. For his show of strength, the President and his media surrogates have vilified Mitt Romney. Imagine a leader doing something so heinous as decrying evil and defending the United States! It might even be thought of as Presidential, for shame!
Sarcasm aside, the Democrat Party has a virulent strain of the blame-anybody-else-but-me virus running through its very core of function. It runs from the White House all the way down to our local Senate Races here in Maine. In Senate District 27, Herb Clark has been trying to convince voters here in the Highlands that he was duped into sponsoring the bill that called for a feasibility study of the East-West corridor. That he was somehow forced to hop in front of the cameras when he desired the publicity at the bills signing. And now that he has jumped off the train, he calls his opponent Senator Thomas a “flip-flop” for calling for a slow down of the train so that all the information can be correctly and clearly disseminated to the people affected by the corridor. Mr. Clark prefers to apologize for the dispensation of truth and knowledge, something we in the Highlands hold in high regard. Truth and knowledge has the ring of freedom to it.
How are we in District 27 supposed to trust the Honorable Herbert Clark with the sacred duty of making decisions that effect our livelihoods if the good Representative can’t even trust his own judgment? People of Maine, we are a people who pride ourselves in our discernment and common sense. If Representative Clark can be so easily “misled”, so easily confused, and can so easily advocate the shut off of information, then we should be certain that he is a poor representation of the voters of District 27. We should never apologize for the Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press and the Freedom Of Information. The Democrats seem more concerned with placating maniacal monsters and hiding from truth than defending the very Freedoms that make this nation great.
Democrats Lying??? Yawn…What’s new….?
The Democrats are lying again! But its become so normal that we would probably be more shocked with the truth. From the Nation to the State of Maine, the very existence of the Democrat Party seems predicated upon deceit. TMCV has always maintained that the main support beam of the Democrat Party Platform is a big lie, which may be why they tried so hard to chuck God out of their platform. In light of recent events, perhaps this hyperbole is not so hyper after all. Well, if your not cheatin’ your not tryin’…right? Or is it left?
Wind in His Sails
Maine’s “King of Stealth” should also be called the “King of Subsidized Wealth”. Not only did Angus King take a governing budget with a surplus and turn it into burdensome budget deficit before he left office as Governor, he also accomplished something far more heinous and detrimental to the well being of Maine residents statewide in keeping with his own selfish desires. While hardworking Mainers toiled to free their State from the debt that King had incurred, the former Governor insured their labors would also make him very, very rich by introducing, promoting and signing into law legislation mandating wind power.
King’s law dictated to the State of Maine that 30% of its energy source must be wind. Then the former Governor quickly formed a wind energy company called Independence Wind. King then shamefully protected himself from any of the normal financial risk of a start-up company by securing a taxpayer backed loan guarantee. Instead of using his own money and risking personal loss, King obtained from President Obama a loan for 102 million dollars, yes, the same program that loaned money to Solyndra on the backs of taxpayers. So on the front end King passes a law that requires Maine residents to purchase wind energy and pay the higher operating costs into a company he created. On the other end, King requires the taxpayer to pay to build his company that is providing the service that taxpayers are being forced by law to purchase. And the tax dollars are herded into the deep pockets of Angus King.
Ah, the luxuries of the monarchy. If the venture of Maine’s own “King of Wind” fails, the King is still wealthy and the peasants poorer. If the venture continues, the King is much richer and the peasants…well, still poorer due to the increase in their utilities bill. The most galling of all is the revelation by an investigation from the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, that King should never have been given the money for his wind kingdom. He had enough of his “own” money to foot the bill. But King, the Stealth Democrat, and his Party Incognito, the Democrats, find it so much the more fulfilling to gamble on someone else’s money rather than their own.
While this scheme to exploit the earnings of taxpayers may seem like a boon of mandated wealth for Angus King, it has produced a visceral reaction from Maine voters. Surprisingly, the left wing media support system of Maine’s own monarch is befuddled by the negative response of Mainers. Those of us who prefer to embrace common sense will try to explain this turn of events in small words for them. Maine people prefer that you earn your wealth on your own, not steal your wealth from others.
The misdeeds of Maine’s “King of Subsidized Wealth” have produced another unexpected result. The great, glaring, white towers of tax-funded waste, King’s windmills, are now blowing winds of momentum into the sails of his challenger’s ship. Charlie Summers has steadily, week by week, closed the gap between King and himself until he now stands poised to topple the presumptive winner of the U.S. Senate seat from his throne. Angus King has long enjoyed the protection of his media allies but now must face the scrutiny of a grassroots organization, which is determined to use the unfettered Internet to expose his corruption and complete embrace of crony capitalism. As the truth of his sinister behavior is exposed to this State and the Nation, honest men and women, who vote, will want to know more about the not so honest behavior of a man who longs to garner their vote to further expand his own personal kingdom.
