THIS IS WHAT OFFENSE LOOKS LIKE

George Offerman

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.

Thomas Jefferson

It’s sometimes wondrous how ironic life situations can be, and here we are with what appears on the surface two very unrelated stories, but they are actually tied in very close with each other.  The first story revolves around how scared the DNC and the political establishment are of Randall Terry’s ads depicting dead babies threatening to ‘invade’ the American households proper on Super Bowl Sunday.  The second story is that of the Catholic Church being ‘mandated’ by the Obama administration to provide birth control, abortofacients and ‘reproductive rights’ care to employees, and the Churches ‘shock’ at this move.

As has been covered by the supposed ‘horrible and evil” MSM and a few responsible pro life bloggers and press, The DNC is using threats and coercion in stopping the LEGAL RIGHTS of Randall Terry, an acknowledged and certified Democratic Presidential Candidate from showing unedited graphic ads of dead babies on television.  Because of the way the Federal law is written, these ads cannot be legally denied or turned away, yet the DNC and Democratic Party is doing what it normally does when it does not get its way: use threatening behaviors and if need be, break the law. 

It’s a hoot to see what these people are doing and what they are saying.  As mentioned in a previous post, one general manager of a television station actually stated “Regardless of what one believes about abortion, no one wants to EXPOSE THEIR FAMILY TO DISMEMBERED BODY PARTS during the Super Bowl”.  Dismembered body parts!  I thought it was a CHOICE!  Interestingly, when the pro deathers are on the offensive, the word ‘choice’ is everywhere, and the words dismembered body parts and child are nowhere.  However, now that the pro deathers are playing defense, they are actually forced to admit to what the average dunderhead would have figured out on his own when seeing these commercials: bloody, dismembered body parts of a small human being.

This is what offense looks like.  It’s when those who need to see the truth actually are forced to use the language of the truth against their will and against everything they claim to believe in.  This is the exact reaction these unedited graphic commercials are supposed to cause.    When one plans action with intended consequences and the outcomes match the plans, it is called being on the offensive, or taking the war to the enemy.  These ads are doing this in spades, and the fruits are undeniable (except for the mediocre pro life groups disavowing and trashing the efforts).

Then we have the REACTION (defense) of the Catholic Church of the (shocking!) ‘betrayal’ by the Obama administration pertaining to the mandatory funding of contraception, abortofacients and ‘reproductive rights’.  (However, I guess it was permissible as long as it ‘exempted’ the Church and other ‘religious’ organizations due to the Church’s inaction prior to this ‘shocking’ announcement).  Because the Church has been on the defensive for the past forty years, they did not have the battle hardness or insight into seeing that making nice with the enemy ultimately emboldens the enemy.

Then we have reactions such as Pat Buchanan, a Catholic who writes for World Net Daily, amongst other publications.  Mr. Buchannan, like many other Catholics, writes with conviction pertaining to the problems, but like most of the writers, commentators and clergy, did not have the insight to see this coming, and as a result does not advocate for a strong and proper response to this matter.  Here is Mr. Buchanan’s take on this issue:  (for the full post, click link below)

http://www.wnd.com/2012/01/obama-double-crosses-american-catholics/        

Why did Obama do it?

Facing a close race for a second term, Obama chose not to antagonize his left. Yet he must have known that siding with them meant leaving Archbishop Dolan with egg all over his face. Obama, calculatedly, came down on the side of those he believes to be more crucial to his re-election.

This affront should tell the Catholic hierarchy, if they did not already know, where they stand in the party of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Kathleen Sebilius. And where they sit – in the back of the bus.

Yet if the bishops will look upon this crisis of conscience, this insult, as an opportunity, they can effect its reversal and recapture a measure of the moral authority they have lately lost.

Not only should the bishops file suit in federal court against the president and Sebelius for violation of the constitutional principle of separation of church and state, they should inform the White House that no bishop will give an invocation at the Democratic Convention.

Then, they should inform the White House that in the last two weeks of the 2012 campaign, priests in every parish will read from the pulpit at Sunday mass a letter denouncing Obama as anti-Catholic for denying the Church its right to live according to its beliefs.

If Obama loses the Catholic vote, he loses the election.

The White House will come around, fast. Rely upon it.

I am not sure where Mr. Buchanan is coming from, but if he, and any of the leaders contemplate what Obama just did, they would realize that this is a BRAZEN ACT OF WAR DECLARED AGAINST THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.  Nice time is over, and the response by the hierarchy needs to be in direct proportion to the evil enacted against the Church.  With all due respect to you, Mr. Buchanan, you would recommend the Bishops ‘Threaten’ to not give the invocation at the Democratic Convention?  Wow!  That will scare them into submission!  Have every priest give homilies the last two weeks before the election ‘denouncing’ Obama as ‘Anti-Catholic for denying the church its right to live according to its beliefs?  I’m sure the evil pro deathers lead by Obama will be shaking in their boots over that one.  (Just like Obama’s getting an ‘honorary degree’ from our Lady’s University).  If we follow the direction and advice given by Pat Buchanan, we WILL GET RUN OVER AND BE FODDER FOR THE CATTLE TO EAT.

No, what needs to happen is the USCCB IMMEDIATELY EXCOMMUNICATE ALL 'CATHOLIC' HOLDERS OF CABINET POSITIONS, SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN WHO HAVE SUPPORTED IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM HEALTH CARE AND ANTI LIFE LEGISLATION CONTRARY TO CATHOLIC TEACHINGS.  Then, inform the Obama administration that the church will be preaching against his war against the Church EVERY SUNDAY and will continue until either Obama: 1) renounce his war against the Church and the unborn, or 2) resign the presidency.

Obama is not the messiah or a messiah, and we do not bow down to him, nor need his permission to live moral and upright lives.  We do not need his counsel, suggestions, laws or permission to do this.  We don’t need to obey immoral laws, and we will openly resist any efforts by a rogue government and wayward individual who ‘dictates’ terms of how free men and free women are to live their lives.  Until the Church is ready to make a stand like this, it will bow down and be subjected to abuse and humiliation from an egotistical and evil dictator who believes he has ‘divine’ rights to tell God’s institution how they will behave.

As Thomas Jefferson once quipped, maybe it’s time that the tree of liberty be watered again, and maybe it’s time to tell this rogue government where to go: to hell, where it came from and where it belongs. To the U. S. Bishops: the laity will follow if you simply lead.

THE DNC HAS DECLARED WAR ON RANDALL TERRY'S PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

The DNC has circulated a letter decrying Randall Terry's 'campaign' and as such, has convinced several of the stations that had previously agreed to run teh campaign ads as required by law, have now turned tail and are using a letter sent by the DNC 'debunking' Mr. Terry's candidacy.  Here is Mr. Terry's response.  (To see a copy of the DNC letter, please go to  http://www.jillstanek.com/)




The Letter We Just Sent to All 13 Stations in Oklahoma and Missouri
Demanding They Ignore the Obama Machine, and Run Our Super Bowl Ad
By Randall A. Terry

"Be advised and forewarned: should you refuse to run my ad, in the light of all the facts outlined in this letter (and the attempted deceit and strong-arming of the DNC) we will that request the FCC revoke your broadcast license, and grant it to someone more worthy than yourself, who takes his civic duty regarding free elections with more honor, respect, and gravity than you do.

"We both know that the DNC and Obama team are terrified of the political and electoral impact of my campaign ad. They fear the loss of votes of Catholic Democrats (of which I am one) that are appalled by the President’s policies. That is why they are calling on you to do their political bidding."  Randall Terry

(Here is the text of the letter going to TV stations that are tempted to yield to Obama's pressure. Again, I beg your prayers that we prevail according to law, and that you give as generously as you can to these ads. Click here to give.)

Dear Sir or Madam.

I am Randall Terry, Democrat Candidate for President of the United States. My media rep, Kathy Offerman, has purchased airtime on your station to run a campaign ad during the Super Bowl, or in a pre-game show. As a legal candidate under the definition of FCC law [Section 73.1940 [47 CFR §73.1940] we have no intention of allowing that ad purchase to be cancelled.

You are in receipt of a letter from Democrat National Committee (DNC) Executive Director Patrick Gaspard dated January 27, 2012. In that letter, Mr. Gaspard stated: “Mr. Terry is not a bona fide Democrat candidate or a representative of the Democrat National Committee.” He concluded the letter, “Mr. Terry’s claims to be a Democrat candidate for President are false. Accordingly, he should not be accorded the benefits of someone conducting a legitimate campaign for public office.” As these two statements deal with the essence of his letter, and your stations subsequent contemplated cancellation of my ad, I will deal with them both in turn.

First, I make no claim to represent the DNC. Such representation, or lack thereof, is meaningless in the issue at hand. No one has to be a representative of the DNC to be a legally qualified candidate for office.

Second, I am a registered Democrat in the State of West Virginia. The fact that I changed parties is again irrelevant. (Not to mention the fact that Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, and Winston Churchill changed parties; I follow in a long and proud tradition.)

Third, by every legal definition of the FEC and the FCC, I am a bona fide Candidate for the Office of the President of the United States.

Concerning the Federal Election Commission (FEC), we have filed – and continue to file – all required documents and financial records required by law from my campaign committee and me.

Concerning the FCC – and my right to run TV ads on an FCC licensed broadcast facility within the 45-day window of a primary – I am a legally qualified candidate. The law states [Section 73.1940 [47 CFR §73.1940] in the germane sections:

(a) A legally qualified candidate for public office is any person who: (1) Has publicly announced his or her intention to run for nomination or office;
(2) Is qualified under the applicable local, State or Federal law to hold the office for which he or she is a candidate; and
(3) Has met the qualifications set forth in either paragraph (b), (c), (d), or (e) of this section.

-       I have publicly announced my intention to run for office;
-       I am qualified under the applicable local, State or Federal law to hold the office for which I am a candidate;
-       I have met the qualifications set forth in paragraph (b), which states:

(b) A person seeking election to any public office including that of President or Vice President of the United States, or nomination for any public office except that of President or Vice President, by means of a primary, general or special election, shall be considered a legally qualified candidate if, in addition to meeting the criteria set forth in paragraph (a) of this section, that person:

(1) Has qualified for a place on the ballot;

I have qualified for a place on the ballot in both Missouri and Oklahoma.

For Missouri, see:

For Oklahoma, see:

In short, I am, by every definition, a legally qualified candidate for President, who has qualified for a place on the ballot.

And your station, therefore, is legally obligated by your FCC license to run my campaign ad without censorship, editing, etc.

I now turn to Mr. Gaspard’s closing statement: “Mr. Terry’s claims to be a Democrat candidate for President are false. Accordingly, he should not be accorded the benefits of someone conducting a legitimate campaign for public office.”

This, of course, is the crux of the matter. Mr. Gaspard is unethically suggesting a path for you to defy FCC law; he knows it, and you know it.

Or put another way, his letter seeks to give you “legal cover” or “plausible confusion” in order that you break the law, and refuse to run my campaign ad.

But should you willingly embrace such deceit, you will find that his cover has holes in it, and that you alone will bear the responsibility for “willful or repeated failure to allow reasonable access to or to permit purchase of reasonable amounts of time for the use of a broadcasting station, other than a non-commercial educational broadcast station, by a legally qualified candidate for Federal elective office on behalf of his candidacy.” (Section 312 [47 U.S.C. §312] Administrative sanctions.(a) (7) )

In case I am unclear on what I am saying, let me be more specific.

The administrative sanctions delineated in 312 [47 U.S.C. §312] define your “willful” and “repeated” refusal to run my campaign ads as follows:

(1)    The term “willful”, when used with reference to the commission or omission of any act, means the conscious and deliberate commission or omission of such act, irrespective of any intent to violate any provision of this Act or any rule or regulation of the Commission authorized by this Act or by a treaty ratified by the United States. [Emphasis added]
(2)    The term “repeated”, when used with reference to the commission or omission of any act, means the commission or omission of such act more than once or, if such commission or omission is continuous, for more than one day.

Your station will not be able to hide behind the spurious and deceitful letter written by Mr. Gaspard, stating in effect: “We did not intend to violate the law! We did not intend to violate a provision of FCC regulations!’

If you deny me my rights as a federal candidate, you will be committing a willful violation of the law. And you know it.

Mr. Gaspard’s letter is not the law; it has NO BEARING on the law and the facts at hand regarding my candidacy, and your legal duty to run the ad of a legally qualified candidate.

Nowhere in the FCC code are the wishes or desires of any political party given any role regarding federal candidates, or their right to run TV ads according to law. If you try and introduce or hide behind the specious argument that the DNC should decide what ads you air, or who is a candidate under the law, you alone will bear the consequences.

Be advised and forewarned: should you refuse to run my ad, in the light of all the facts outlined in this letter (and the attempted deceit and strong-arming of the DNC) we will that request the FCC revoke your broadcast license, and grant it to someone more worthy than yourself, who takes his civic duty regarding free elections with more honor, respect, and gravity than you do.

Section 312 [47 U.S.C. §312] Administrative sanctions of the FCC commission states “(a) The Commission may revoke any station license or construction permit – (7) for willful or repeated failure to allow reasonable access to or to permit purchase of reasonable amounts of time for the use of a broadcasting station, other than a non-commercial educational
broadcast station, by a legally qualified candidate for Federal elective office on behalf of his candidacy.” In CBS, Inc. v. FCC, the Supreme Court held that §312(a)(7) guarantees a “legally qualified candidate” “reasonable access” and that even one failure to abide by this law can result in revocation of the station's license. We will pursue that rememedy.

We both know that the DNC and Obama team are terrified of the political and electoral impact of my campaign ad. They fear the loss of votes of Catholic Democrats (of which I am one) that are appalled by the President’s policies. That is why they are calling on you to do their political bidding.

But is it really worth risking your license to hinder free elections and do the bidding of the DNC? Do you really think the DNC/Obama team will take the heat and the blame when your license is revoked because you choose to willfully violated FCC law? Do you think they will step up and say: “We advised them to violate federal law?” They will wash their hands of you faster than a nurse dealing with leprosy. Look again at Mr. Gaspard’s letter. It was written in a way that they could deny any wrongdoing; you will be hung out to dry on your own.

Your station will be hearing from an Attorney this afternoon. If your station declares it will not run my ad, we will file for immediate relief from the FCC.

Therefore starting today, Tuesday, January 31, 2012, should your station delay in any way to run my campaign ad for “more than one day” as delineated in Section 312 [47 U.S.C. §312], we will request that your broadcast license be revoked.

I hope this letter clarifies our position, and that we can proceed with our TV ad purchase(s) as ordered, in accordance with the law.

Sincerely,

Randall Terry
Democrat Candidate for President

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

George Offerman

It is interesting.  As more and more of the lame stream media write about Randall Terry’s candidacy and subsequent purchases of air times before and during the Super Bowl, it draws more attention to the message.  However, too many of the ‘prolife’ groups and  the movement in general are either ignoring the news, or are actually resisting it, and insisting they are doing as much, if not more to draw attention to the pro life issue, and doing it in a way that is not ‘offensive’ to most people’s sensibilities.  Really?  Why haven’t I or anyone else then seen or heard of these wondrous works that is bringing the issue of legalized child killing front and center in this election cycle?

There are some prominent pro lifers out there who are promoting the candidacy of Randall Terry, which ultimately allows for the full and complete exposure of dead babies without any apology or sanitization of the message.  Dr. Monica Migliorino Miller, whose photographs are being utilized for the commercials has stated “What Randall Terry is doing is bold, clever and necessary” in that it is forcing Americans to view the hidden truth of legalized child killing and forcing a crisis of consciousness upon people. 

  Joe Scheidler, acclaimed as the "Godfather of Pro-life activism," says:

 "Randy's campaign will save thousands of babies' lives. Let's help him!"

Jill Stanek, renowned pro-life columnist, says:

"Airing graphic ads during the Super Bowl represent a unique opportunity to show a huge number Americans the truth about abortion during the one time a year they actually look forward to watching commercials rather than ignoring them. Donate to air the ads here. The more money Terry gets, the more times he can run the ad."

It is wonderful to see these three individuals whose leadership is very well known within the prolife movement, as well as a few of the pro life news sites, promote this idea and see the need to show graphic pictures of dead babies, unedited during one of the most premier events of the year.  How unfortunate though, that the majority of the supposed pro life ‘leaders’ are once again MIA from this opportunity, and are pedaling their own efforts as at least as ‘noble and good’ or even superior to showing dead babies unedited during the Super Bowl.  How do I know that?  By the responses given by the leaders who have been approached and were asked to help with this effort.

I would like to throw out a challenge to these leaders (which make up the majority in the pro life movement).  What are you doing to bring attention to ending legalized child killing, and why have we not heard about it?  If all efforts are as ‘noble’ and as ‘good’ and as ‘effective’ where is the press coverage for your efforts?  What about the hate mail and death threats the Terry campaign is receiving?  Are you receiving the same?   What about the resistance one would expect from other ‘pro lifers’ when moving out of the comfort zone and actually confronting this grizzly and evil reality?  Is anyone else, anywhere running or showing unedited graphic ads on television that are getting national and international press and coverage?  I don’t see any and have not heard of any.  But I am still receiving tons of mail and e-mail wanting me to ‘contribute’ to many of these groups that claim to be hot on the trail of ending legalized child killing.  (While never mentioning the words legalized child killing or abortion and not using graphic images).

No, some efforts are superior to others, and efforts that convey half truths, are way more evil than those that present a full frontal assault on truth, as those efforts by the pro deathers do.  If these self-proclaimed leaders want to believe hiding from the truth and placating the enemy is the same morally as fearlessly telling the unvarnished truth, then these self-proclaimed leaders are very delusional, and drinking their own brand of cherry Kool-Aid.  Mediocrity has not been, nor ever will be excellence and no amount of window dressing and flattering language will change this fact.

These so called leaders know who they are, and for them to be so arrogant and self-aggrandizing that they think hiding in their kitchens and behind keyboards while throwing out their messages and organizing virtual protests is the same as taking bullets on the battlefield shows why there is little fear of legalized child killing ever coming to an end on their watch.  These leaders have no idea how to fight and win this war.  If they had any idea, they would gratefully promote and support efforts to get pictures of dead babies into the living rooms of Americans so they would have to look directly upon the ‘choice’ that the evil people have forced down the throats of this once great country.  But no, there is too much fear and too much placation of the enemy and too many ‘reward points’ to be lost if these leaders actually put themselves on the line for the babies.

There is no question that most of these leaders cannot be trusted to forward the naked truth of legalized child killing because they are too scared to do so.  When there are very lame ‘justifications’ such as claiming all efforts are morally ‘equal’, clearly these people have disqualified themselves as being true agents of change.  These so called leaders obviously do not see an unprecedented opportunity and are too busy worrying about how insignificant they will look in comparison to the mediocre efforts put forth on their watch to understand they could be part of a force that becomes unstoppable.  But most likely, one more time, this effort will be wasted, and the majority in this ‘movement’ will ignore this effort, while the lame stream media, one more time, CLEANS UP ON THEM.

Please, for the sake of the babies, contribute to the Randall Terry for president campaign, and truly make a difference for the babies.  To contribute, go to:

TAKING IT TO THEM

George Offerman

As everyone is now very aware of, Tim Tebow did it again and laid
waste to so many of his critics by beating a premier team with his
supposed ‘mediocre skills’ and this improbable starter is moving on in
the playoffs.  Tebow is creating a stir in the sports world, as well
as general society, and the battle lines could not be clearer.  Due to
his own life story, Tim Tebow is the embodiment of life and is a great
source of embarrassment and consternation amongst the pro death
factions, and they are doing everything in their power to bring this
young man down.

On December 13, 2011, Sophia Brugato, a blogger for ‘the abortion
gang’ called on her fellow supporters of legalized child killing to
‘donate $5 or $10 to your local pro choice organization’ every time
Tim Tebow scored a touchdown.  So, Brugato has a desire to advocate
the death of an individual, when another does something and then
offers thanks to the Living God in response to actualizing gifts given
by God.  It is interesting that Brugato ‘watches’ or ‘listens’ to the
games in order to know when touchdowns occur, in order to know when to
activate her anti God and pro Satan agenda.

Since Brugato is so into the visuals and wants people to ‘see’ this
‘saintliest saint’ go down, it is high time Brugato ‘sees’ the fruits
of her own labor, and takes a look, first hand at the bloody and torn
up corpses of the ‘choices’ she so strongly advocates.  After all,
Sophia, if you are so proud of your beliefs and your organization, you
ought to be able to look at the fruits of your labor; given it is
‘only a choice’.  It is high time these pro deathers get to look at
their handiwork and ‘defend’ the ‘right’ to pay for and participate in
the wanton destruction of life.

It is people like Brugato that cry and complain the most vehemently,
when confronted with the grisly images of legalized child killing.
They cry how ‘foul’ the pro life side is when forced to look at the
handiwork of their ‘creation’.  They want to cry about how young
children are ‘traumatized’ by such images when exposed to them, and
how ‘disturbing’ they are when people are trying to go about their day
to day lives and see a ‘face the truth tour’.  These people want to
sanitize the reality of what they advocate, because they know in their
twisted and sick hearts, this is truly evil and goes against anything
in nature.  They know this intuitively, yet go against what is right,
just and moral.

We have an opportunity to make people like Sophia Brugato, and
organizations like ‘the abortion gang’ look at unaltered and true
images of their handiwork.  We have the opportunity to finally take
this fight to the gates of hell, and to the apprentice demon
worshippers that fund this Godless criminal enterprise.  Let them look
‘dead’ on to these images and tell the rest of the world this is ‘only
a choice’.  Let them be on the defensive for one of the few times
since 1973.  Let us, as the army of the Living God, show these people
the war they have waged upon the most innocent in our society.

WE have this ability, through the candidacy of Randall Terry.  Because
of the federal campaign laws, ads running within the window of time in
campaign/caucus/primary states cannot be altered or denied based on
any content within them.  Therefore, the ads need to run as created
and cannot be altered or edited in any way, shape or form.  This is
what the pro life side has always advocated, and has always complained
about concerning the MSM.  This opportunity is unprecedented in the
national arena, but it is very time limited, so those out there who
are serious about effecting change and stamping out legalized child
killing once and for all, MUST ACT on this opportunity.

So, this is the challenge I am presenting to all of the pro life
groups and leadership: fund these ads and put a stop to organizations
such as ‘the abortion gang’ and individuals such as Sophie Brugato who
promote direct killing by taking a person willing to promote the
Gospel and ‘demonizing’ him for their benefit.  We must make these
killers and promoters of killers look at their handiwork directly, and
require them to openly explain their behavior.  We need to do this
now, and do it with great conviction.

I have donated to this cause, and will continue to do so.  To donate, go to:
