12-29-2010 This winter, like last one, we're seeing record cold and snows throughout the world. According to the New York Times this is due to global warming. Let's see if we have this straight. If we have warmer than usual weather, it's because of global warming. If it's colder than usual, it's because of global warming. If there's an earthquake, it's Bush's fault (we had to sneak that one in there). If it's wetter than usual, it's because of global warming. If it’s dryer than usual, it's because of global warming. Since it looks like everything can be blamed on global warming then we believe the AlGore-deranged-illogical-ecologial-non-sense disease must also be caused by global warming. I'm sure we can cook some books to show this, we can use the same methods used by the global warming scientist. The Obama says that global warming is an accepted fact. We believe the only accepted thing about it is it's lunacy. It's a way for globalist to achieve their transformation of wealth policies and bankrupt western economies. Consider this logic; if extra CO2 is dumped in the atmosphere the "warming" crowd says it causes global warming. Extra CO2 blocks the sun therefore, logically, you could assume that this would cause cooling not warming. All this has to do with what was always called weather. It fluctuates as a matter of nature having to do more with the sun and natural phenomenon than anything man does. 12-27-2010 The new START treaty had to be rushed through the Senate, it was critical to pass before the end of the year, so The Obama said. Even though this treaty favors the Russians, the Russian legislative body, the DUMA, has delayed their ratification vote. Someone has been made a DUMAss, we're not sure if it's The Obama or the GOP Senate Sellouts. Perhaps both. Russians are selling missiles to Venezuelan communist Chavez which will be pointing towards our southern shores. According to this treaty, we are not able to develop defensive weapons to counter that threat. Now that doesn't seem like a very smart development does it? The Obama undercut our Polish and Czechoslovakian allies by reneging on promised defensive missile systems in exchange for Russian cooperation with Iran. Iran continues arming with Russia's assistance and our response is to reward Russia with this lopsided treaty. At every turn The Obama and his cabal continue to undermine the will of the American people and the best interest of our country. 12-24-2010 Merry Christmas 12-23-2010 So much for the 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Before the 20th Amendment Lame Duck Congresses lasted until March. The President was also inaugurated in March. This was mainly due to travel time issues early in our nations history. This long period of time between the elections and seating a new Congress made for some nasty shenanigans by Congressmen that had lost and had nothing to lose. The 20th Amendment was ratified in 1933 to alleviate the disaster that Lame Ducks could muster. Newly elected Congressmen would be seated the first part of January and the Presidents inauguration would be moved back form March to January 20th. In 1933 most travel was by trains and automobiles so there was still a need of time to accommodate the change to the newly elected Congress. Unfortunately this amendment did not envision jet travel. Now Lame Duck Congresses can do their damage and jet home for supper. We have just witnessed one of the worst examples of why Lame Duck Congresses should be done away with. Ignoring the will of the American people, our socialist Democrat leadership in Congress and The Obama have made a mockery of our Constitution and the will of the people. We the People should be changed to We the Suckers. We have just been taken to the cleaners by this Congress and the president. Only a continuing resolution was needed to keep the government funded. There was nothing else that couldn't wait until the new Congress was seated. Republicans that rolled over as patsies for this abuse of power should be ashamed of themselves. We know who they are and we will remember. The disastrous START treaty which damages our capabilities and limits development of defensive weapons is borderline treasonous. It rewards Russia for helping arm Iran and other nations which mean us harm. Great job Senator sellouts. Here are the Republicans that sold their souls: Johnny Isakson, Georgia, Thad Cochran, Mississippi, Mike Crapo, Idaho, Tom Coburn, Oklahoma, Bob Corker, Tennessee, Lamar Alexander, Tennessee, Bob Bennett, Utah, Mike Johanns, Nebraska, Dick Lugar, Indiana, Scott Brown, Massachusetts, Lisa Murkowski, Alaska, George Voinovich, Ohio, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, both of Maine. We'll remember! 12-22-2010 Subscriber Submission: I don’t care about your party affiliation. But, as an American citizen you owe it to yourself, your children, grandchildren and those before you who fought and died for this country to make sure that those people you voted for, uphold the Constitution. We need to stop the constant assault on our rights by those in power. Day in and day out, corrupted globalists in D.C. work feverishly to change our system of government. The FCC just voted to chip away at your basic right to free speech. They are doing this under cover of “keeping the public safe” via the internet, when in reality they are doing is increasing centralized powers. This looks like a dictatorship. This isn’t unlike what Chavez has been doing in Venezuela. They are taking away our rights a bit, or a chunk, at a time, while at the same time having no qualms in defending the so called “rights” of those who go out of their way to try to destroy us. While you worry and prepare about your Christmas and Holidays with your family and loved ones, take time to think how much you and your family would lose if you allow all this to continue. These people don’t take a break. Taking no action, is giving tacit approval to what’s going on. God Help Us. 12-21-2010 Enough with this Dumb Duck nonsense. Against the wishes of the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James T. Amos, USMC and our rank and file military, the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal is going to be signed into law. Losers in the mid term elections continue their last minute mischief, their damage rolls on unabated. It's like a company firing a group of managers for incompetence then letting those very same managers make decisions for two months. That would be insane but not any more so than what this Lame Duck Congress is doing and what we're letting them get away with. These losers piled up their end of session wish list so as not to be accountable to the voters for their votes. They figure that by the next election they will have forgotten their indiscretions. They miscalculate again. The times have changed, business as usual will no longer stand. It's time to stop this nonsense and go home. There is nothing so critical that can't wait until January 4th. Everything before Congress today is a "crisis" of their own making so they can further their ideological destruction as long as possible. Stop what you're doing and go home! 12-20-2010 Under the guise of "protecting" the consumer The Obama FCC is going to implement regulations on the Internet. The beauty of the Internet to date has been the freedom and open nature of both it's architecture and content. Although some of the information on the Internet is flat out false, the abundance of sources provide opportunities to counter them. An open discussion with unlimited sources of information is the best guarantee of freedom. Tyrants seek to limit and control information flow. Like the "fairness doctrine" seeked to control dissent so will regulations on the Internet by The Obama FCC seek to control and manage opinion. We suggested in earlier BLOG's that the WikiLeaks "crisis" was going to be used to inject government control over the Internet and it's happening today. The Obama is in tune with the likes of Hugo Chaves in his zeal for control. Every effort must be undertaken in the new Congress to stop this abuse of power and bring back some sanity to our government. Whittling away at our freedoms is what Stupid Frogs put up with as they are slowly boiled to death. 12-17-2010 Iraqi intelligence officials have obtained information from captured Al-Qaeda terrorists that plans are in place for Christmas attacks in the U.S. and Europe. So much for religious tolerance. I thought Muslim's where supposed to be peaceful. Where is the outrage in the Muslim community over these continued attacks on innocent civilians? Christmas is a time of peace and joy, family and friends. Not terrorism and death. Christian's believe in tolerance and forgiveness. This includes tolerance of Muslim's. If a Christian converts to Islam we wish him well. If a Muslim converts to Christianity, Islam condones his murder. We believe in turning the other cheek, they believe in cutting the cheek off. Our country was founded on Judeo Christian principles. Christmas is a national Holiday. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas free from Islamic fanatical terrorism. It's not HAPPY HOLIDAYS, it's MERRY CHRISTMAS, it's not MERRY ALLAHMAS, it's MERRY CHRISTMAS, it's not MERRY XMAS, it's MERRY CHRISTMAS. There's nothing about Christmas that's offensive. If it offends you, so be it, your loss. MERRY CHRISTMAS! 12-16-2010 We're witnessing a self created crisis in the radical Democrat Congress to pass their pet projects. Whose holding whom hostage? It's like a thief grabbing everything in site while on the move out of your house. It is the people's House and Democrat leaders are attempting to rob us blind. Enough is enough. It's time to hold down the fort and refuse to pass anything but a continuing resolution until January 4th. If that can't be done then let the government shut down for a couple of weeks. Congress does it's best work when they do nothing at all. Let's take a look at a few of these last minute Democrat initiatives. Don't Ask Don't Tell: A change of policy in a time of war that the vast majority of military personnel are against. Just more pandering to a favorite Democrat special interest group. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Dream Act: A path to amnesty paid by the tax payer. Americans are overwhelmingly against amnesty yet this Congress wants to cram it down our throats anyway, some more pandering. START: An arms reduction treaty with Russia that will cripple our defensive capabilities and which had been put off all year. What's the emergency to pass it before this Congress adjourns? Turn off the power, unplug their mics and see ya next year! 12-15-2010 Yesterday "dirty" Harry Reid displayed again why he is the poster child for what November's mid-term elections were all about. Government waste, out of control spending and corruption. He is bringing up a Democrat Omnibus bill of almost 2,000 pages at the cost of $1.1 TRILLION DOLLARS chock full of over 6,000 earmarks. Like Yogi Berra once said, "It's Déjà-Vu all over again." Last year it was the ObamaCare monstrosity just in time for a Christmas Eve vote. This year it's another oinker with the same must pass or else the sky will fall bleeding-heart bull. It's hard to give politicians a bad name but Reid manages to do it every time he steps up to a microphone. Republicans should stop this last ditch hog grab, insist on a continuing resolution to fund the government and start the process of bringing back some sanity to our government. Behind this "must-pass" bill is a slew of Democrat efforts to undermine the will of the American people, because after all, they know what's best for us peons. Dream Act, Don't Ask Don't Tell, SMART (or is that not so smart) and whatever else the "dirty" one wants to pull out of his hat (or is that…). 12-14-2010 Chalk one up for the Constitution. Judge Henry Hudson ruled correctly in the case brought by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli challenging ObamaCare's requirement that every American must buy health insurance. This section of ObamaCare is at the core of this monstrosity. It is the "I" beam that supports the structure, without it, ObamaCare crumbles in upon itself. If allowed to stand, this overreach would set a president whereby the government could require Americans to purchase any product or service. Many defenders compare this clause to government requiring people to purchase car insurance. There is a huge difference between these two. You have to have a car to be required to buy car insurance. Government can't require you to buy car insurance if you don't have a car and they can't force you to buy a car in the first place. The crooked backroom secret deals that produced this destructive health care takeover had an Achilles Heel, Cuccinelli challenged it and Hudson correctly upheld the challenge. 12-13-2010 Listening to the current Democrat leadership in Congress and the MSM you would think liberals were overwhelmingly reelected on November 2nd. They are crying foul at The Obama's so called compromise with Republican leaders. If you step back and take a look at what Republicans would get it's no tax increase for any American, what The Obama and liberals get is a 13 month extension to unemployment benefits for a total of 155 weeks. That's one week short of three years, sounds a lot like Europe. Statistics show that the longer the unemployment benefits, the longer people stay unemployed. Facts are stubborn things! Typical for dealing with Democrats, just when you think you have a deal it becomes just a "framework", that's according to The Obama himself. Now the pandering Democrat leadership is working their backroom-closed-door-earmark magic to buy votes. What does online gambling have to do with a deal not to raise taxes on any American? That's just one of the "add-ons" compliments of Harry Reid. The longer this process takes the more pork it will have, it's already starting to oink. The American people would be well served if Republican leadership would just wait until January when we can start turning this runaway train around. Democrats had all year to deal with this issue, they put it off as to not interfere with the elections. It's to late now, it's time for the losers to step aside. As The Obama said, elections have consequences. 12-10-2010 Not to let a "crisis" go to waste, beware the coming infringement on the Internet. Knowing that WikiLeaks was planning on releasing more damaging information after the Iraq and Afghanistan document dumps, this administration drags it's feet. Now they jump to attack the very same release they knew was coming. Was this done intentionally to maximize on their response? They can now claim that national security warrants that they crack down when "they" deem it to be essential to protect our security. Incremental moves will be undertaken to limit the Internets open and free nature. This is not about security, it's about control of information. WikiLeaks was clearly criminal in their release of classified documents, it was not a matter of the first amendment. The first amendment doesn't apply to foreign nationals, foreign companies or foreign media on foreign soil. This is a red hearing aimed at curtailing American free speech and exercising control of the "new media." 12-9-2010 Lame-Brain, Dumb-Duck's in the House passed the "Dream Act" last night by a vote of 216-198. Plain and simple this is a last ditch attempt to pass an illegal alien amnesty bill while liberals still have the majority. Democrat's went as far as saying illegal's are "De Facto Citizens". If the bill passes the Senate it would allow illegal's to become citizens if they go to college, server in the military or "other government sanctioned service" for two years. Basically with American tax payer dollars this bill would fund a path for illegal's to become "Dumocrat" voters. That's the bottom line here. The Socialist-Progressives are grasping at straws to maintain their segmented voter base. Hispanics value system and morals and more in line with Republican principles yet they are constantly barraged by MSM and Democrat propaganda misleading them on the issues that are most important to them. Most Hispanic American immigrants are against illegal immigration and amnesty. They worked hard and waited their turn for the privilege to become a US Citizen. They understand it is not a right but a privilege. This bill needs to be soundly defeated in the Senate as it belong in the shredder. Enforce the borders then increase legal immigration if necessary in way that protects our national security, personal security and economy. 12-8-2010 On the surface the presidents compromise looks like a fair deal, what are we really looking at? We won't be achieving a tax cut but rather the status quo and for only two years. A double taxation of 35% on estates (death tax) is also part of this deal. The other piece of this nasty pie is an unemployment extension of 13 months for a total of 155 weeks of unemployment benefits. Who pays for that? Employers will be saddled with an additional burden reducing their likelihood of new job creation and increasing their cost of doing business. Unspent Spendulus funds can be used to reduce the damage to our deficit. On the plus side, the two year extension will mean that this issue will be front and center in the 2012 campaign. A possible drawback is that by extending the current rates the economy could improve to the point where the argument for permanent extension or even reduction would not be as powerful. It's a catch-22. You almost get a feeling that the president wants to get over this issue so they can take advantage of their existing overwhelming vote advantage to be able to cram through as many of their socialist policies as possible. The "Dream Act", don't ask don't tell, the new START treaty and other lame brain ideas are ready to be acted on. 12-7-2010 The Obama announced a deal with Republicans last night on extending the Bush Tax rates. He didn't sound very presidential as he attacked Republicans during his announcement. Playing his typical class card while falsely saying that Republicans want to cut taxes for the wealthy. This was not about cutting anyone's tax, it was about not raising them on anyone, specially those who create jobs. When was the last time a poor person offered anyone a job? The Obama was dragged whimpering into a two year extension of the current rates, in exchange, he got a 13 month extension of the already nearly two years of unemployment benefits. We're looking now at three years of unemployment benefits. There was also a deal to cut payroll taxes by 2% for one year. This was to offset and increase that was about to take place. While explaining this, the president emphasized that economist agree that this cut would be beneficial to the economy. You can't have it both ways, if this cut is beneficial to the economy then how could raising taxes, like he wanted to do, be beneficial? Cutting taxes is always beneficial to the economy and has been proven to increase tax revenues. What liberals can't accept is that allowing Americans to keep more of what they earn reduces the power they wield. They lose the ability to transfer that wealth to programs and behavior that they deem to be of interest. It's about power and control to them. The big government mindset of the liberal psyche is alien to logic. 12-6-2010 The leftist mind is like space, the final frontier. A factually empty vessel where illogical rants find a home. Take for instance the latest diatribe of Venezuela's Hugo (Castro's Mini-Me) Chavez. After years of deforestation and building of flimsy housing on hillsides they get a period of heavy rains. The resulting mudslides destroy the housing. Someone has to be blamed for this and according to the empty vessels, it's capitalism, the developed world and of course the United States. Ignorant people actually fall for this. Tyrants need villains but it's interesting to note that capitalism created light bulbs which lights these fools, the cameras which film their idiocy and the networks which transmit their propaganda. Chavez must not have gotten the memo about the global warming hoax and cooked up books. Our home grown leftists, The Obama, Pelosi and Reid have a lot in common with Chavez, they all see capitalism as an evil. We see it as a driving force which fuels ingenuity, entrepreneurship, new business and jobs. Real progress that enriches our lives and provides advancements in medicines and standard of living for all. American exceptionalism and capitalism go hand in hand. 12-3-2010 Blinky stated on the House floor yesterday that we couldn't afford "giving" the rich $700 Billion. Obviously, she and her fellow radicals are from Uranus. If current tax rates expire on January 1, 2011 the government will be "taking" $700 Billion from Americans and small businesses making over $250,000 plus over $3 TRILLION from the rest. They remind us of Mr. Whipple from the old Charmin commercials, they just can't help but squeeze the economy. In this case it's more than squeezing, it's choking. Un-employment was just announced to have gone up to 9.8%. The Spendulus didn't work, QE2 isn't working and ObamaCare is making things worse. As Thomas Jefferson once said, "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." 12-2-2010 A couple of days ago a presidential meeting took place between The Obama and Congressional leadership on the issue of the upcoming tax increase. No agreement took place but they did agree on a panel to come up with a compromise. Today Blinky Pelosi is bringing up a political vote designed to paint Republicans as being for "Super Rich" tax cuts. They will be voting on extending the current tax rates for middle class Americans only. In other words, they will be voting to RAISE taxes on people and businesses making over $250,000. This is a clear example of why Dumb-Duck Congresses are a disaster. The same losers that were humiliated in the mid-term elections are still calling the shots and have the votes to continue the damage that was just repudiated. The up coming tax increase should be called what it is, The Obama Tax Increase! 12-1-2010 As predicted the song and dance presidential meeting between The Obama and congressional leaders ended without agreement. It was a show, just like the ObamaCare meeting. It was meant for the 30 second MSM clip of the president attempting to reach a bipartisan agreement with 'evil' Republicans. The president tried, the Republicans didn't budge, that was the message. The truth is radical Democrat leadership and that of The Obama have yet to understand the will of the American people and continue their ideological class warfare stance. The economy should be top priority on everyone's agenda. But Dirty Harry Reid, Blinky Pelosi and The Obama are intent on cramming 10 pounds of you know what into a 5 pound bag. If they do it, there's going to be a big stink. Their goal is to pass controversial legislation while they still have the votes and hold the American economy hostage while they do this. Of course, every bill they propose is critical and must be acted on or the sky will fall. Here are some of their priorities: The illegal immigration amnesty bill know as the "Dream Act', Don't Ask, Don't Tell, bundled in with the Defense appropriation so they can hold Defense hostage, the new START treaty with Russia which replaces the one that expired a year ago but NOW it has to be passed urgently (that means while they still have the votes) and extending un-employment benefits beyond the almost two years (96 weeks) of current benefits. Only two things should be acted on during this Dumb-Duck Congress; extend the current tax rates permanently or at least a two year extension and pass a continuing resolution to keep the government funded until a budget can be worked on during the next Congress. 11-30-2010 The United States Espionage Act is a federal law which was enacted on June 15, 1917. It prohibits interference with military operations, supporting America's enemies during wartime, promoting insubordination in the military or interfering with military recruitment. The supreme court has ruled that this act does not violate freedom of speech rights. WikiLeaks dissemination of secret illegally obtained information which interferes with military operations and aids our enemies clearly meets the criteria of this act. After the prior WikiLeaks document dump on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars our government should have aggressively moved to prosecute WikiLeaks founder Assange on espionage charges. Technical means should have also been used to shut down this illegal and dangerous dumping of classified information. Knowing that a new and possibly more damaging release of documents was coming, our inept politicized Justice Department chose to go after New Jersey Governor Christie for $2,000 worth of travel charges that Holder deemed to be illegal. They choose to go on a political witch hunt rather than take necessary steps to prevent what we are seeing now. This is an embarrassing disclosure of private State Department cables which compromise our foreign policy and that of our allies. Perhaps a further cutting of America down to size was a pre-planned outcome of this administrations inaction. 11-29-2010 During the 90's the Clinton administration helped North Korea acquire nuclear technology "for peaceful purposes." The North Korean's, with fingers crossed, made promises. The Clinton years also provided North Koreans with missile technology "for peaceful purposes." At every turn the North Korean can keeps getting kicked down the road. Recently North Korea sunk an South Korean vessel killing South Korean sailors. Last week they bombed a South Korean island killing 4 and injuring 18. It has now been revealed that the north has provided Iran with 19 BM-25 missiles capable of traveling 2,000 miles and carrying nuclear warheads. These recent provocations are lessons from the "dear leader" to his newly appointed son-successor the 27 year old, 4-star general, mini-me. The dear leader probably tells his son about the impotent super power and our lack of will. After all, they'll probably get more concessions like has happened in the past all in an effort to appease the evil that is the North Korean regime. It's time to deal with this evil in a forceful manner as power is the only way that this situation can be resolved. Appeasement is no longer an option. While you appease, your enemy builds up. The longer you wait the worse the options are. 11-25-2010 Happy Thanksgiving 11-24-2010 Thanksgiving 2010: On this blessed Thanksgiving let us remember and pray for those who are spending it away from their families defending our freedoms. They fight to keep us free, and while we are still free, let's fight so that their sacrifice will not be in vain. May your day be filled with family, love, charity and faith. 11-23-2010 The Obama and his radial cohorts, Pelosi and Reid continue to ignore the results of the mid-term elections. After all, to them, it was not a repudiation of their policies but rather a result of their failure to communicate their message. The message was heard loud and clear that's what resulted in the biggest turnaround for the GOP in the House since 1922. Rather than concentrate on not raising taxes they are intent of taking time to cram through the illegal alien amnesty bill so called the "Dream Act." They're also most likely to bring a vote up to eliminate the "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the military, contrary to military leadership advice. They will do what they can during this dumb-duck session while they still have the votes. They must be made to realize that their actions now will be held against them in the next congress as well as the next elections. Shine a light on the cockroaches and watch them scramble. 11-22-2010 When we trade a little liberty for security in order to track down and defeat Islamic terrorist networks, it is worth the sacrifice. As long as that trade is temporary, we can recover. When we trade liberty in defense of political correctness, we foolishly surrender to the terrorists. Let's imagine this extreme scenario; you have 100 people waiting to board an airline. There are 50 old ladies in wheel chairs, 49 minors with leg braces and one 25 year old Yemeni Muslim. How long would it take to process these travelers? With the current Transportation Strip-Search Administration (TSA) policies the old ladies and minors will be groped. Considering that terrorist acts are overwhelmingly committed by Muslim men between the ages of 20 and 35 does it make sense to ignore the elephant in the room? Making children take off sweat shirts and aggressively grope them is traumatic and a violation of the 4th amendment to our Constitution. The 4th Amendment states: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." Profiling and human intelligence should be substituted for this insane violation of our rights and liberties. 11-19-2010 The Lame Duck (or is that Dumb-Duck) Democrat Congress is taking steps to cram through Reid's "Dream Act." It's amnesty for illigal aliens in disguise. It would basically grant rights for citizenship for an illegal alien who goes to college for two years (subsidized by the American people of course) or serves two years in the U.S. military. Pelosi, Reid and The Obama still do not get what just happened on Nov. 2. They continue to ignore the will of the American people. While the border with Mexico is turning into a killing zone this administration is looking at amnesty rather than border security. With just about 17 days left in this session of the Dumb-Duck Congress top priority should be the economy. Not allowing the $3.9 TRILLION tax increase that's scheduled for January 1 to happen is what they should be focused on. Ignoring that is ignoring the will of the vast majority of Americans. Pelosi, Reid and The Obama are digging in on raising taxes for those families making over $250 Thousand. Even though 50% of those effected are small businesses. They still demagogue the issue by saying we can't afford a tax cut for the rich. Once again, there is no tax cut on the table, this is about raising taxes. It's insane to raise taxes on anyone during difficult economics times. They're arguing about the $700 Billion that keeping the current tax rates for the top earners would cost but it was OK to waste almost $1TRILLION on the failed Spendulus Bill. This is not about borrowing money to pay for a tax cut it's about not taking money out of Americans pockets to begin with. On passage of the new SALT treaty with Russia both The Obama and Hilarious Clinton say it is critical to approve this now. It can't wait a couple of months, it has to be done now? We've heard this before and ended up with ObamaCare. This is a faulty treaty that would limit our defensive capabilities and that of conventional use on dual use weapon systems. It should be studied thoroughly and amended in the next Congress. 11-18-2010 During the "ignore the Islamic terrorist war" cumbaya times of the Clinton years we had the first Twin Towers bombing (1993), two American embassy's bombed in Africa, and the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen. One of the conspirators in the embassy bombings was brought to civilian court trial in the United States by The Obama administration. Even though this was clearly an act of terror, not even meeting requirements for Geneva Convention rules, he was tried in civilian court by an over zealous politically correct insane Obama justice department, lead by Holder. Defendant Ghailani was charged with 285 counts and acquitted on 284 counts. 224 counts were for murder. The bombings also injured thousands in Tanzania and Kenya? Rules of evidence prevented a key witness from testifying about selling the TNT which was used in the bombings to Ghailani. Ghailani said he thought it was soap for washing horses. There was clear evidence that he knew and conspired to bomb the embassy's which the one guilty count proved, yet the jury, with the same evidence cleared him on the other counts. This is what we can expect if the other Islamic terrorists are tried in civilian courts and granted all constitutional protections that American Citizens would receive? This is nonsense brought to you by a radical Obama administration that is out of touch with our Constitution and the will of the American people. We need to scratch all plans for criminal trials for terrorists and restart military tribunals. We're at war and need to tell these politically correct fools to either stand behind us or get out of the way. During WWII German saboteurs where caught tried by military tribunals and hanged within three months. Now that's efficiency we could use today. 11-17-2010 Dirty Harry Reid and The Obama need to wake up from their dream and get over the "Dream Act." You would think that by now they would have realized that their dream has turned into a nightmare. Wasting time on an immigration amnesty bill while the economy teeters on the brink is dereliction of duty. The Obama is preparing to leave on another foreign trip but has the time to meet leaders supporting the dream act. While the number one obstacle to an economic turnaround is the uncertainty that is being created by the coming $3.9 TRILLION tax increase on January 1, 2011. This has nothing to do with tax cuts. If nothing is done before the end of the year our taxes will be going up by $3.9 TRILLION. While the result of the mid term elections was to shrink the Democrat and the presidents power significantly the core left behind will be more radical than the one that preceded it. Proof of this is the leadership of Nancy Pelosi remaining intact after her overwhelming repudiation by the American people. She says they're not finished with their work. Thank God for that. If they had a chance to finish we would all be finished. During this short period of time remaining for Congress to act before the huge tax increase takes effect, every possible moment should be spent dealing with the coming tax disaster. But don't hold your breath. The class war faring radicals in Congress and the White House will not abandon their agenda. 11-15-2010 According to Attorney General Holder the trial of 9/11 Khalid Sheikh Mohamed is still undetermined. This coming from the most politicized Justice Department in our lifetime. This administrations view of terrorist suspects are to extend to them all the civil rights that an American citizen would receive in a criminal trial. This politically correct view is not only outrageous on its face but a danger to our national security. If you listen closely you can probably hear the faint laughter from a distant cave. Silly American's, let's play their game, if you fail your mission no problem. After all you'll get housing, TV, exercise and they'll even point your toilet away from Mecca! Until we take this war seriously we will continue to be in retreat. As Napoleon once said, "The logical end to defensive warfare is surrender." It's unlikely much will change during the remaining two years of this administration but changes need to be made. Stop the ridiculous harassment of American citizens by the TSA. Start focusing on those who are at war with us and profile, profile, profile. History has shown us that terrorists that have committed or attempted acts of terror are or were Muslim men between the ages of 20 and 35. If we know this then why do we hassle old ladies in wheelchairs? Get over the politically correct bull and target those that are trying to kill us. If you're a Muslim and are against terrorists you should welcome the scrutiny as it is meant to protect you as well. 11-12-2010 It's almost laughable how The Obama lectures the other members of the G20 about the need to cut deficits while his policies have increased our deficit like never before. He warns about currency manipulation while his Fed is manipulating our own currency. You can't take him seriously as our allies and foes alike all agree. It was 19 to 1 with the USA being the scapegoat. From leader of the free world and economic powerhouse to has been in two Obama years, it's a shame. Continuing down his economic illiteracy road he stands by his unwillingness to compromise on extending current tax rates to wage earners making over $250,000 a year. This group is made up of many small businesses that would be adversely affected if their taxes are raised. This is not about tax cuts, it's about tax increases in a struggling economy. His misleading statements about not being able to afford this tax cut are nothing more than flat out lies. In his world of smoke and mirrors it's OK to waste close to a Trillion dollars on a failed Spendulus bill but not OK to maintain the current tax level. Double standard doesn't come close to describing this stupidity. 11-11-2010 We honor and thank all our veterans, past and present. Thank you for your unselfish service and sacrifice! 11-10-2010 The Marxist behind The Obama curtain is none other than Soros. An experienced currency manipulator who has managed to make billions off the suffering of others. He works in the shadows, funds extreme leftist and Marxist groups intent on undermining our government and free enterprise system. The Fed QE2 monetizing of our debt is what he called for. Coincidence? Soros and his manipulation only works in the shadows and with useful idiot cooperation. Our media fits right into this model as they are spoon fed morsels that keep their networks going while providing the cover needed to accomplish their own demise. Interesting how the very freedom of speech they use would be lost if their propaganda were to reach its ultimate conclusion. It's the media catch-22. In the end they would turn to each other, scratch their collective heads and wonder how this could have happened. We need to shine a bright light on these shadow manipulators. Like cockroaches they will scatter and gather in another location, under an assumed name, but their methods will not change. Facts, knowledge and faith will triumph over the tyranny of those wishing to destroy our liberty. As Ronald Reagan once said, "No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women." 11-9-2010 Hearing the president speak to the Indian people about the reduced economic power of the United States you almost get a feeling of pride in his message. He seems to relish the cutting down to size of our leadership role in the world, both economically and militarily during his first two years. It's a realization of the first steps in his socialist transformation of our country. His attack on our free enterprise system through the bully pulpit, with threats as well as actions, to curtail economic freedoms has been historic. While attacking companies for "shipping" jobs overseas he champions tax policies that almost guarantee the loss of jobs. In India we see the other face of The Obama. There he states that we need to get beyond stereotypes and welcome "outsourcing" of American jobs. True to his track record, don't pay attention to his words, it's his deeds that tell the story. While we were focused on the mid-term elections the plan for our economic future was already set. The day after the elections our Fed started the process of "monetizing" our debt through what's being called QE2. With close to one Trillion dollars planned for this monetizing this boils down to flooding our economy with dollars. This will devalue the dollar, raise the price of everything you buy and possibly cause uncontrolled inflation. Banks and countries holding debt will be adversely affected and drastically reduce the attractiveness of our bonds on the global market. With no one to buy our debt, we go bankrupt unless we continue down the printing road. This is what third world economies like Zimbabwe have done with disastrous results. How much will a gallon of milk cost, $30, $40, $50, only time will tell. This destructive policy must be stopped immediately and government spending, including entitlements must be drastically cut back in order for us to avoid the economic reckoning that awaits down this road. 11-8-2010 Does he get it or his Narcissism so great he can't admit it. The Obama is still ignorant to the results of last Tuesdays mid-term elections. The American people spoke loud and clear, "stop the transformation and destructive policies" was the message. But according to this president it's his communication skills that were at fault not his policies. He can't admit it because to do so would mean he would have to change his methods and beliefs, he's not about to do that. While president Clinton was able to triangulate and move towards the center after his losses in 1994, The Obama will not do so. He and his radical team are too vested in their Marxist ideology to change in mid stream. They lie and mislead to disguise their intent but that intent will not change. This is the same attitude that prevents him from extending the Bush tax cuts for the top wage earners. They keep saying that the government can't afford this tax cut when it fact it's not a tax cut. In 2001 it was a tax cut, now it's just maintaining the same rates as have been in place for 10 years. If any part of these rates increase, it's a tax increase. Looks like this president and administration must have found "Economics 101 for Dummies" to be too confusing. We believe his view of the top earners is to want to spread their wealth. This is the same view he has of the United States on a global scale. Our country as a whole to him is the top wage earner of the world so by extrapolating his philosophy on global scale our wealth needs to be spread as well. This is at the heart of his global view and why in his mind there is no American exceptionalism. 11-5-2010 If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, or is that White House? The Obama and his merry crew are heading to India after a political shellacking on Tuesday. At an outrageous cost of over $200 Million a day, this trip is a big mistake. Thirty-four war ships will accompany the president on his trip to India, his childhood home of Indonesia, South Korea and Japan. Foreign trips are important for presidents to take but the timing and expense of this one, specially considering the current deficit and political climate, is like rubbing salt in a wound. The largest tax increase in history is still coming on January 1, 2010 if it's not dealt with soon. We are heading into the Holidays of Thanksgiving then Christmas so time is limited. Current Democrat leadership is so radical and intent on raising taxes that it will continue to be the biggest deterrent to business and new job creation. Relief may have to wait until our new Republican led House is in place next year. 11-4-2010 The Obama is saying the result of the election is that the American people want Democrats and Republicans to work together and concentrate on the economy. Remember not to listen to his words, it's his actions that matter. That very same message that he pretends to understand has been repeated over and over by the vast majority of Americans for over a year and he has intentionally ignored it. There is no reason he will listen now. He will play the game, pretend to work together with the new Congress but will blame Republicans for any impasse. The message of the American people was loud an clear, STOP The Obama transformation and roll back the growth of government. Our new Republican leadership in the house needs o stand firm on their commitment to carry through on these promises. Like Marco Rubio said in Florida, "It's a second chance for the Republican party." We need to not just stop Federal spending, we need to roll back spending to 2008 levels, permanently extend the Bush tax cuts for every American and cut back federal regulations that are strangling our small businesses. We need to also get out of the auto and financial industries. Let our free enterprise system get back to being free, the market will correct itself. No more bailouts! Keep an eye on the Fed's "monetizing" our national debt. Under oath in Congress Fed chair Bernanke was asked about this and flatly denied that the Fed would monetize the debt. Yesterday, the day after the election, the Fed announced they would buy $600 Billion of U.S. Bonds and plans up to a $1 Trillion buy out. Put it simply what this means is the Fed is going to cause inflation which will reduce the value of the dollar by 20%. This makes paying down the debt cheaper but it also makes everything you buy more expensive. After decades of trying to keep inflation down, they will be creating inflation on purpose. Your saving will be reduce by 20%. Your dollar would be worth 80 cents. Watch out for that man behind the curtains, the evil George Soros has said that a controlled decline in the value of the U.S. Dollar would be good. This is an outrageous pre-planned gamble that will continue the devaluing of our dollar and cause more countries to call for a new global currency. When that happens, our economy will be destroyed. Regardless of the outcome of this election, their plans on globalization continue unabated. 11-3-2010 Americans cleaned house yesterday giving Republicans a strong majority. A 63 seat gain for Republicans will allow them to start the process of repealing ObamaCare and fighting The Obama transformation. A six seat gain in the Senate will help but falls short of control. What's wrong with Nevada? Re-electing Harry Reid is like chickens voting for Colonel Sanders. The Obama's words and policies, supported by Reid, helped bring Nevada to its knees yet they still voted him in. Maybe there should be a sanity test before people are allowed to vote. Democrat Governor Manchin won the Senate seat in West Virginia running as far away from The Obama as possible. In one ad he even shot a rifle at one of The Obama's favorite bills. Newly elected Republicans talk about working together with Democrats to get things done for the American people, getting control of runaway government spending while Democrats, like Reid, talk of confrontation. Time will tell if The Obama and his Democrat lemmings continue to ignore the will of the American people. If they continue to ignore the American people, they do so at their own peril. We just witness the start of righting the ship of state, much work remains.

This winter, like last one, we're seeing record cold and snows throughout the world. According to the New York Times this is due to global warming. Let's see if we have this straight. If we have warmer than usual weather, it's because of global warming. If it's colder than usual, it's because of global warming. If there's an earthquake, it's Bush's fault (we had to sneak that one in there). If it's wetter than usual, it's because of global warming. If it’s dryer than usual, it's because of global warming. Since it looks like everything can be blamed on global warming then we believe the AlGore-deranged-illogical-ecologial-non-sense disease must also be caused by global warming. I'm sure we can cook some books to show this, we can use the same methods used by the global warming scientist. The Obama says that global warming is an accepted fact. We believe the only accepted thing about it is it's lunacy. It's a way for globalist to achieve their transformation of wealth policies and bankrupt western economies. Consider this logic; if extra CO2 is dumped in the atmosphere the "warming" crowd says it causes global warming. Extra CO2 blocks the sun therefore, logically, you could assume that this would cause cooling not warming. All this has to do with what was always called weather. It fluctuates as a matter of nature having to do more with the sun and natural phenomenon than anything man does.

12-27-2010

The new START treaty had to be rushed through the Senate, it was critical to pass before the end of the year, so The Obama said. Even though this treaty favors the Russians, the Russian legislative body, the DUMA, has delayed their ratification vote. Someone has been made a DUMAss, we're not sure if it's The Obama or the GOP Senate Sellouts. Perhaps both. Russians are selling missiles to Venezuelan communist Chavez which will be pointing towards our southern shores. According to this treaty, we are not able to develop defensive weapons to counter that threat. Now that doesn't seem like a very smart development does it? The Obama undercut our Polish and Czechoslovakian allies by reneging on promised defensive missile systems in exchange for Russian cooperation with Iran. Iran continues arming with Russia's assistance and our response is to reward Russia with this lopsided treaty. At every turn The Obama and his cabal continue to undermine the will of the American people and the best interest of our country.

So much for the 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Before the 20th Amendment Lame Duck Congresses lasted until March. The President was also inaugurated in March. This was mainly due to travel time issues early in our nations history. This long period of time between the elections and seating a new Congress made for some nasty shenanigans by Congressmen that had lost and had nothing to lose. The 20th Amendment was ratified in 1933 to alleviate the disaster that Lame Ducks could muster. Newly elected Congressmen would be seated the first part of January and the Presidents inauguration would be moved back form March to January 20th. In 1933 most travel was by trains and automobiles so there was still a need of time to accommodate the change to the newly elected Congress. Unfortunately this amendment did not envision jet travel. Now Lame Duck Congresses can do their damage and jet home for supper. We have just witnessed one of the worst examples of why Lame Duck Congresses should be done away with. Ignoring the will of the American people, our socialist Democrat leadership in Congress and The Obama have made a mockery of our Constitution and the will of the people. We the People should be changed to We the Suckers. We have just been taken to the cleaners by this Congress and the president. Only a continuing resolution was needed to keep the government funded. There was nothing else that couldn't wait until the new Congress was seated. Republicans that rolled over as patsies for this abuse of power should be ashamed of themselves. We know who they are and we will remember. The disastrous START treaty which damages our capabilities and limits development of defensive weapons is borderline treasonous. It rewards Russia for helping arm Iran and other nations which mean us harm. Great job Senator sellouts. Here are the Republicans that sold their souls: Johnny Isakson, Georgia, Thad Cochran, Mississippi, Mike Crapo, Idaho, Tom Coburn, Oklahoma, Bob Corker, Tennessee, Lamar Alexander, Tennessee, Bob Bennett, Utah, Mike Johanns, Nebraska, Dick Lugar, Indiana, Scott Brown, Massachusetts, Lisa Murkowski, Alaska, George Voinovich, Ohio, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, both of Maine.

We'll remember!

I don’t care about your party affiliation. But, as an American citizen you owe it to yourself, your children, grandchildren and those before you who fought and died for this country to make sure that those people you voted for, uphold the Constitution. We need to stop the constant assault on our rights by those in power. Day in and day out, corrupted globalists in D.C. work feverishly to change our system of government. The FCC just voted to chip away at your basic right to free speech. They are doing this under cover of “keeping the public safe” via the internet, when in reality they are doing is increasing centralized powers. This looks like a dictatorship. This isn’t unlike what Chavez has been doing in Venezuela. They are taking away our rights a bit, or a chunk, at a time, while at the same time having no qualms in defending the so called “rights” of those who go out of their way to try to destroy us. While you worry and prepare about your Christmas and Holidays with your family and loved ones, take time to think how much you and your family would lose if you allow all this to continue. These people don’t take a break. Taking no action, is giving tacit approval to what’s going on. God Help Us.

Enough with this Dumb Duck nonsense. Against the wishes of the Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James T. Amos, USMC and our rank and file military, the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal is going to be signed into law. Losers in the mid term elections continue their last minute mischief, their damage rolls on unabated. It's like a company firing a group of managers for incompetence then letting those very same managers make decisions for two months. That would be insane but not any more so than what this Lame Duck Congress is doing and what we're letting them get away with. These losers piled up their end of session wish list so as not to be accountable to the voters for their votes. They figure that by the next election they will have forgotten their indiscretions. They miscalculate again. The times have changed, business as usual will no longer stand. It's time to stop this nonsense and go home. There is nothing so critical that can't wait until January 4th. Everything before Congress today is a "crisis" of their own making so they can further their ideological destruction as long as possible. Stop what you're doing and go home!

Under the guise of "protecting" the consumer The Obama FCC is going to implement regulations on the Internet. The beauty of the Internet to date has been the freedom and open nature of both it's architecture and content. Although some of the information on the Internet is flat out false, the abundance of sources provide opportunities to counter them. An open discussion with unlimited sources of information is the best guarantee of freedom. Tyrants seek to limit and control information flow. Like the "fairness doctrine" seeked to control dissent so will regulations on the Internet by The Obama FCC seek to control and manage opinion. We suggested in earlier BLOG's that the WikiLeaks "crisis" was going to be used to inject government control over the Internet and it's happening today. The Obama is in tune with the likes of Hugo Chaves in his zeal for control. Every effort must be undertaken in the new Congress to stop this abuse of power and bring back some sanity to our government. Whittling away at our freedoms is what Stupid Frogs put up with as they are slowly boiled to death.

Iraqi intelligence officials have obtained information from captured Al-Qaeda terrorists that plans are in place for Christmas attacks in the U.S. and Europe. So much for religious tolerance. I thought Muslim's where supposed to be peaceful. Where is the outrage in the Muslim community over these continued attacks on innocent civilians? Christmas is a time of peace and joy, family and friends. Not terrorism and death. Christian's believe in tolerance and forgiveness. This includes tolerance of Muslim's. If a Christian converts to Islam we wish him well. If a Muslim converts to Christianity, Islam condones his murder. We believe in turning the other cheek, they believe in cutting the cheek off. Our country was founded on Judeo Christian principles. Christmas is a national Holiday. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas free from Islamic fanatical terrorism. It's not HAPPY HOLIDAYS, it's MERRY CHRISTMAS, it's not MERRY ALLAHMAS, it's MERRY CHRISTMAS, it's not MERRY XMAS, it's MERRY CHRISTMAS. There's nothing about Christmas that's offensive. If it offends you, so be it, your loss. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We're witnessing a self created crisis in the radical Democrat Congress to pass their pet projects. Whose holding whom hostage? It's like a thief grabbing everything in site while on the move out of your house. It is the people's House and Democrat leaders are attempting to rob us blind. Enough is enough. It's time to hold down the fort and refuse to pass anything but a continuing resolution until January 4th. If that can't be done then let the government shut down for a couple of weeks. Congress does it's best work when they do nothing at all. Let's take a look at a few of these last minute Democrat initiatives. Don't Ask Don't Tell: A change of policy in a time of war that the vast majority of military personnel are against. Just more pandering to a favorite Democrat special interest group. If it's not broke, don't fix it. Dream Act: A path to amnesty paid by the tax payer. Americans are overwhelmingly against amnesty yet this Congress wants to cram it down our throats anyway, some more pandering. START: An arms reduction treaty with Russia that will cripple our defensive capabilities and which had been put off all year. What's the emergency to pass it before this Congress adjourns? Turn off the power, unplug their mics and see ya next year!

Yesterday "dirty" Harry Reid displayed again why he is the poster child for what November's mid-term elections were all about. Government waste, out of control spending and corruption. He is bringing up a Democrat Omnibus bill of almost 2,000 pages at the cost of $1.1 TRILLION DOLLARS chock full of over 6,000 earmarks. Like Yogi Berra once said, "It's Déjà-Vu all over again." Last year it was the ObamaCare monstrosity just in time for a Christmas Eve vote. This year it's another oinker with the same must pass or else the sky will fall bleeding-heart bull. It's hard to give politicians a bad name but Reid manages to do it every time he steps up to a microphone. Republicans should stop this last ditch hog grab, insist on a continuing resolution to fund the government and start the process of bringing back some sanity to our government. Behind this "must-pass" bill is a slew of Democrat efforts to undermine the will of the American people, because after all, they know what's best for us peons. Dream Act, Don't Ask Don't Tell, SMART (or is that not so smart) and whatever else the "dirty" one wants to pull out of his hat (or is that…).

Chalk one up for the Constitution. Judge Henry Hudson ruled correctly in the case brought by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli challenging ObamaCare's requirement that every American must buy health insurance. This section of ObamaCare is at the core of this monstrosity. It is the "I" beam that supports the structure, without it, ObamaCare crumbles in upon itself. If allowed to stand, this overreach would set a president whereby the government could require Americans to purchase any product or service. Many defenders compare this clause to government requiring people to purchase car insurance. There is a huge difference between these two. You have to have a car to be required to buy car insurance. Government can't require you to buy car insurance if you don't have a car and they can't force you to buy a car in the first place. The crooked backroom secret deals that produced this destructive health care takeover had an Achilles Heel, Cuccinelli challenged it and Hudson correctly upheld the challenge.

Listening to the current Democrat leadership in Congress and the MSM you would think liberals were overwhelmingly reelected on November 2nd. They are crying foul at The Obama's so called compromise with Republican leaders. If you step back and take a look at what Republicans would get it's no tax increase for any American, what The Obama and liberals get is a 13 month extension to unemployment benefits for a total of 155 weeks. That's one week short of three years, sounds a lot like Europe. Statistics show that the longer the unemployment benefits, the longer people stay unemployed. Facts are stubborn things! Typical for dealing with Democrats, just when you think you have a deal it becomes just a "framework", that's according to The Obama himself. Now the pandering Democrat leadership is working their backroom-closed-door-earmark magic to buy votes. What does online gambling have to do with a deal not to raise taxes on any American? That's just one of the "add-ons" compliments of Harry Reid. The longer this process takes the more pork it will have, it's already starting to oink. The American people would be well served if Republican leadership would just wait until January when we can start turning this runaway train around. Democrats had all year to deal with this issue, they put it off as to not interfere with the elections. It's to late now, it's time for the losers to step aside. As The Obama said, elections have consequences.

12-10-2010

Not to let a "crisis" go to waste, beware the coming infringement on the Internet. Knowing that WikiLeaks was planning on releasing more damaging information after the Iraq and Afghanistan document dumps, this administration drags it's feet. Now they jump to attack the very same release they knew was coming. Was this done intentionally to maximize on their response? They can now claim that national security warrants that they crack down when "they" deem it to be essential to protect our security. Incremental moves will be undertaken to limit the Internets open and free nature. This is not about security, it's about control of information. WikiLeaks was clearly criminal in their release of classified documents, it was not a matter of the first amendment. The first amendment doesn't apply to foreign nationals, foreign companies or foreign media on foreign soil. This is a red hearing aimed at curtailing American free speech and exercising control of the "new media."

Lame-Brain, Dumb-Duck's in the House passed the "Dream Act" last night by a vote of 216-198. Plain and simple this is a last ditch attempt to pass an illegal alien amnesty bill while liberals still have the majority. Democrat's went as far as saying illegal's are "De Facto Citizens". If the bill passes the Senate it would allow illegal's to become citizens if they go to college, server in the military or "other government sanctioned service" for two years. Basically with American tax payer dollars this bill would fund a path for illegal's to become "Dumocrat" voters. That's the bottom line here. The Socialist-Progressives are grasping at straws to maintain their segmented voter base. Hispanics value system and morals and more in line with Republican principles yet they are constantly barraged by MSM and Democrat propaganda misleading them on the issues that are most important to them. Most Hispanic American immigrants are against illegal immigration and amnesty. They worked hard and waited their turn for the privilege to become a US Citizen. They understand it is not a right but a privilege. This bill needs to be soundly defeated in the Senate as it belong in the shredder. Enforce the borders then increase legal immigration if necessary in way that protects our national security, personal security and economy.

On the surface the presidents compromise looks like a fair deal, what are we really looking at? We won't be achieving a tax cut but rather the status quo and for only two years. A double taxation of 35% on estates (death tax) is also part of this deal. The other piece of this nasty pie is an unemployment extension of 13 months for a total of 155 weeks of unemployment benefits. Who pays for that? Employers will be saddled with an additional burden reducing their likelihood of new job creation and increasing their cost of doing business. Unspent Spendulus funds can be used to reduce the damage to our deficit. On the plus side, the two year extension will mean that this issue will be front and center in the 2012 campaign. A possible drawback is that by extending the current rates the economy could improve to the point where the argument for permanent extension or even reduction would not be as powerful. It's a catch-22. You almost get a feeling that the president wants to get over this issue so they can take advantage of their existing overwhelming vote advantage to be able to cram through as many of their socialist policies as possible. The "Dream Act", don't ask don't tell, the new START treaty and other lame brain ideas are ready to be acted on.

12-7-2010

The Obama announced a deal with Republicans last night on extending the Bush Tax rates. He didn't sound very presidential as he attacked Republicans during his announcement. Playing his typical class card while falsely saying that Republicans want to cut taxes for the wealthy. This was not about cutting anyone's tax, it was about not raising them on anyone, specially those who create jobs. When was the last time a poor person offered anyone a job? The Obama was dragged whimpering into a two year extension of the current rates, in exchange, he got a 13 month extension of the already nearly two years of unemployment benefits. We're looking now at three years of unemployment benefits. There was also a deal to cut payroll taxes by 2% for one year. This was to offset and increase that was about to take place. While explaining this, the president emphasized that economist agree that this cut would be beneficial to the economy. You can't have it both ways, if this cut is beneficial to the economy then how could raising taxes, like he wanted to do, be beneficial? Cutting taxes is always beneficial to the economy and has been proven to increase tax revenues. What liberals can't accept is that allowing Americans to keep more of what they earn reduces the power they wield. They lose the ability to transfer that wealth to programs and behavior that they deem to be of interest. It's about power and control to them. The big government mindset of the liberal psyche is alien to logic.

The leftist mind is like space, the final frontier. A factually empty vessel where illogical rants find a home. Take for instance the latest diatribe of Venezuela's Hugo (Castro's Mini-Me) Chavez. After years of deforestation and building of flimsy housing on hillsides they get a period of heavy rains. The resulting mudslides destroy the housing. Someone has to be blamed for this and according to the empty vessels, it's capitalism, the developed world and of course the United States. Ignorant people actually fall for this. Tyrants need villains but it's interesting to note that capitalism created light bulbs which lights these fools, the cameras which film their idiocy and the networks which transmit their propaganda. Chavez must not have gotten the memo about the global warming hoax and cooked up books. Our home grown leftists, The Obama, Pelosi and Reid have a lot in common with Chavez, they all see capitalism as an evil. We see it as a driving force which fuels ingenuity, entrepreneurship, new business and jobs. Real progress that enriches our lives and provides advancements in medicines and standard of living for all. American exceptionalism and capitalism go hand in hand.

Blinky stated on the House floor yesterday that we couldn't afford "giving" the rich $700 Billion. Obviously, she and her fellow radicals are from Uranus. If current tax rates expire on January 1, 2011 the government will be "taking" $700 Billion from Americans and small businesses making over $250,000 plus over $3 TRILLION from the rest. They remind us of Mr. Whipple from the old Charmin commercials, they just can't help but squeeze the economy. In this case it's more than squeezing, it's choking. Un-employment was just announced to have gone up to 9.8%. The Spendulus didn't work, QE2 isn't working and ObamaCare is making things worse. As Thomas Jefferson once said, "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."

12-2-2010

A couple of days ago a presidential meeting took place between The Obama and Congressional leadership on the issue of the upcoming tax increase. No agreement took place but they did agree on a panel to come up with a compromise. Today Blinky Pelosi is bringing up a political vote designed to paint Republicans as being for "Super Rich" tax cuts. They will be voting on extending the current tax rates for middle class Americans only. In other words, they will be voting to RAISE taxes on people and businesses making over $250,000. This is a clear example of why Dumb-Duck Congresses are a disaster. The same losers that were humiliated in the mid-term elections are still calling the shots and have the votes to continue the damage that was just repudiated. The up coming tax increase should be called what it is, The Obama Tax Increase!

12-1-2010

As predicted the song and dance presidential meeting between The Obama and congressional leaders ended without agreement. It was a show, just like the ObamaCare meeting. It was meant for the 30 second MSM clip of the president attempting to reach a bipartisan agreement with 'evil' Republicans. The president tried, the Republicans didn't budge, that was the message. The truth is radical Democrat leadership and that of The Obama have yet to understand the will of the American people and continue their ideological class warfare stance. The economy should be top priority on everyone's agenda. But Dirty Harry Reid, Blinky Pelosi and The Obama are intent on cramming 10 pounds of you know what into a 5 pound bag. If they do it, there's going to be a big stink. Their goal is to pass controversial legislation while they still have the votes and hold the American economy hostage while they do this. Of course, every bill they propose is critical and must be acted on or the sky will fall. Here are some of their priorities: The illegal immigration amnesty bill know as the "Dream Act', Don't Ask, Don't Tell, bundled in with the Defense appropriation so they can hold Defense hostage, the new START treaty with Russia which replaces the one that expired a year ago but NOW it has to be passed urgently (that means while they still have the votes) and extending un-employment benefits beyond the almost two years (96 weeks) of current benefits. Only two things should be acted on during this Dumb-Duck Congress; extend the current tax rates permanently or at least a two year extension and pass a continuing resolution to keep the government funded until a budget can be worked on during the next Congress.

The United States Espionage Act is a federal law which was enacted on June 15, 1917. It prohibits interference with military operations, supporting America's enemies during wartime, promoting insubordination in the military or interfering with military recruitment. The supreme court has ruled that this act does not violate freedom of speech rights. WikiLeaks dissemination of secret illegally obtained information which interferes with military operations and aids our enemies clearly meets the criteria of this act. After the prior WikiLeaks document dump on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars our government should have aggressively moved to prosecute WikiLeaks founder Assange on espionage charges. Technical means should have also been used to shut down this illegal and dangerous dumping of classified information. Knowing that a new and possibly more damaging release of documents was coming, our inept politicized Justice Department chose to go after New Jersey Governor Christie for $2,000 worth of travel charges that Holder deemed to be illegal. They choose to go on a political witch hunt rather than take necessary steps to prevent what we are seeing now. This is an embarrassing disclosure of private State Department cables which compromise our foreign policy and that of our allies. Perhaps a further cutting of America down to size was a pre-planned outcome of this administrations inaction.

During the 90's the Clinton administration helped North Korea acquire nuclear technology "for peaceful purposes." The North Korean's, with fingers crossed, made promises. The Clinton years also provided North Koreans with missile technology "for peaceful purposes." At every turn the North Korean can keeps getting kicked down the road. Recently North Korea sunk an South Korean vessel killing South Korean sailors. Last week they bombed a South Korean island killing 4 and injuring 18. It has now been revealed that the north has provided Iran with 19 BM-25 missiles capable of traveling 2,000 miles and carrying nuclear warheads. These recent provocations are lessons from the "dear leader" to his newly appointed son-successor the 27 year old, 4-star general, mini-me. The dear leader probably tells his son about the impotent super power and our lack of will. After all, they'll probably get more concessions like has happened in the past all in an effort to appease the evil that is the North Korean regime. It's time to deal with this evil in a forceful manner as power is the only way that this situation can be resolved. Appeasement is no longer an option. While you appease, your enemy builds up. The longer you wait the worse the options are.

Happy Thanksgiving

11-24-2010

Thanksgiving 2010:

On this blessed Thanksgiving let us remember and pray for those who are spending it away from their families defending our freedoms. They fight to keep us free, and while we are still free, let's fight so that their sacrifice will not be in vain.

May your day be filled with family, love, charity and faith.

The Obama and his radial cohorts, Pelosi and Reid continue to ignore the results of the mid-term elections. After all, to them, it was not a repudiation of their policies but rather a result of their failure to communicate their message. The message was heard loud and clear that's what resulted in the biggest turnaround for the GOP in the House since 1922. Rather than concentrate on not raising taxes they are intent of taking time to cram through the illegal alien amnesty bill so called the "Dream Act." They're also most likely to bring a vote up to eliminate the "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the military, contrary to military leadership advice. They will do what they can during this dumb-duck session while they still have the votes. They must be made to realize that their actions now will be held against them in the next congress as well as the next elections. Shine a light on the cockroaches and watch them scramble.

When we trade a little liberty for security in order to track down and defeat Islamic terrorist networks, it is worth the sacrifice. As long as that trade is temporary, we can recover. When we trade liberty in defense of political correctness, we foolishly surrender to the terrorists. Let's imagine this extreme scenario; you have 100 people waiting to board an airline. There are 50 old ladies in wheel chairs, 49 minors with leg braces and one 25 year old Yemeni Muslim. How long would it take to process these travelers? With the current Transportation Strip-Search Administration (TSA) policies the old ladies and minors will be groped. Considering that terrorist acts are overwhelmingly committed by Muslim men between the ages of 20 and 35 does it make sense to ignore the elephant in the room? Making children take off sweat shirts and aggressively grope them is traumatic and a violation of the 4th amendment to our Constitution. The 4th Amendment states:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Profiling and human intelligence should be substituted for this insane violation of our rights and liberties.

The Lame Duck (or is that Dumb-Duck) Democrat Congress is taking steps to cram through Reid's "Dream Act." It's amnesty for illigal aliens in disguise. It would basically grant rights for citizenship for an illegal alien who goes to college for two years (subsidized by the American people of course) or serves two years in the U.S. military. Pelosi, Reid and The Obama still do not get what just happened on Nov. 2. They continue to ignore the will of the American people. While the border with Mexico is turning into a killing zone this administration is looking at amnesty rather than border security. With just about 17 days left in this session of the Dumb-Duck Congress top priority should be the economy. Not allowing the $3.9 TRILLION tax increase that's scheduled for January 1 to happen is what they should be focused on. Ignoring that is ignoring the will of the vast majority of Americans. Pelosi, Reid and The Obama are digging in on raising taxes for those families making over $250 Thousand. Even though 50% of those effected are small businesses. They still demagogue the issue by saying we can't afford a tax cut for the rich. Once again, there is no tax cut on the table, this is about raising taxes. It's insane to raise taxes on anyone during difficult economics times. They're arguing about the $700 Billion that keeping the current tax rates for the top earners would cost but it was OK to waste almost $1TRILLION on the failed Spendulus Bill. This is not about borrowing money to pay for a tax cut it's about not taking money out of Americans pockets to begin with.

On passage of the new SALT treaty with Russia both The Obama and Hilarious Clinton say it is critical to approve this now. It can't wait a couple of months, it has to be done now? We've heard this before and ended up with ObamaCare. This is a faulty treaty that would limit our defensive capabilities and that of conventional use on dual use weapon systems. It should be studied thoroughly and amended in the next Congress.

During the "ignore the Islamic terrorist war" cumbaya times of the Clinton years we had the first Twin Towers bombing (1993), two American embassy's bombed in Africa, and the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in Yemen. One of the conspirators in the embassy bombings was brought to civilian court trial in the United States by The Obama administration. Even though this was clearly an act of terror, not even meeting requirements for Geneva Convention rules, he was tried in civilian court by an over zealous politically correct insane Obama justice department, lead by Holder. Defendant Ghailani was charged with 285 counts and acquitted on 284 counts. 224 counts were for murder. The bombings also injured thousands in Tanzania and Kenya? Rules of evidence prevented a key witness from testifying about selling the TNT which was used in the bombings to Ghailani. Ghailani said he thought it was soap for washing horses. There was clear evidence that he knew and conspired to bomb the embassy's which the one guilty count proved, yet the jury, with the same evidence cleared him on the other counts. This is what we can expect if the other Islamic terrorists are tried in civilian courts and granted all constitutional protections that American Citizens would receive? This is nonsense brought to you by a radical Obama administration that is out of touch with our Constitution and the will of the American people. We need to scratch all plans for criminal trials for terrorists and restart military tribunals. We're at war and need to tell these politically correct fools to either stand behind us or get out of the way. During WWII German saboteurs where caught tried by military tribunals and hanged within three months. Now that's efficiency we could use today.

Dirty Harry Reid and The Obama need to wake up from their dream and get over the "Dream Act." You would think that by now they would have realized that their dream has turned into a nightmare. Wasting time on an immigration amnesty bill while the economy teeters on the brink is dereliction of duty. The Obama is preparing to leave on another foreign trip but has the time to meet leaders supporting the dream act. While the number one obstacle to an economic turnaround is the uncertainty that is being created by the coming $3.9 TRILLION tax increase on January 1, 2011. This has nothing to do with tax cuts. If nothing is done before the end of the year our taxes will be going up by $3.9 TRILLION. While the result of the mid term elections was to shrink the Democrat and the presidents power significantly the core left behind will be more radical than the one that preceded it. Proof of this is the leadership of Nancy Pelosi remaining intact after her overwhelming repudiation by the American people. She says they're not finished with their work. Thank God for that. If they had a chance to finish we would all be finished. During this short period of time remaining for Congress to act before the huge tax increase takes effect, every possible moment should be spent dealing with the coming tax disaster. But don't hold your breath. The class war faring radicals in Congress and the White House will not abandon their agenda.

11-15-2010

According to Attorney General Holder the trial of 9/11 Khalid Sheikh Mohamed is still undetermined. This coming from the most politicized Justice Department in our lifetime. This administrations view of terrorist suspects are to extend to them all the civil rights that an American citizen would receive in a criminal trial. This politically correct view is not only outrageous on its face but a danger to our national security. If you listen closely you can probably hear the faint laughter from a distant cave. Silly American's, let's play their game, if you fail your mission no problem. After all you'll get housing, TV, exercise and they'll even point your toilet away from Mecca! Until we take this war seriously we will continue to be in retreat. As Napoleon once said, "The logical end to defensive warfare is surrender." It's unlikely much will change during the remaining two years of this administration but changes need to be made. Stop the ridiculous harassment of American citizens by the TSA. Start focusing on those who are at war with us and profile, profile, profile. History has shown us that terrorists that have committed or attempted acts of terror are or were Muslim men between the ages of 20 and 35. If we know this then why do we hassle old ladies in wheelchairs? Get over the politically correct bull and target those that are trying to kill us. If you're a Muslim and are against terrorists you should welcome the scrutiny as it is meant to protect you as well.

11-12-2010

It's almost laughable how The Obama lectures the other members of the G20 about the need to cut deficits while his policies have increased our deficit like never before. He warns about currency manipulation while his Fed is manipulating our own currency. You can't take him seriously as our allies and foes alike all agree. It was 19 to 1 with the USA being the scapegoat. From leader of the free world and economic powerhouse to has been in two Obama years, it's a shame. Continuing down his economic illiteracy road he stands by his unwillingness to compromise on extending current tax rates to wage earners making over $250,000 a year. This group is made up of many small businesses that would be adversely affected if their taxes are raised. This is not about tax cuts, it's about tax increases in a struggling economy. His misleading statements about not being able to afford this tax cut are nothing more than flat out lies. In his world of smoke and mirrors it's OK to waste close to a Trillion dollars on a failed Spendulus bill but not OK to maintain the current tax level. Double standard doesn't come close to describing this stupidity.

11-11-2010

We honor and thank all our veterans, past and present.

Thank you for your unselfish service and sacrifice!

The Marxist behind The Obama curtain is none other than Soros. An experienced currency manipulator who has managed to make billions off the suffering of others. He works in the shadows, funds extreme leftist and Marxist groups intent on undermining our government and free enterprise system. The Fed QE2 monetizing of our debt is what he called for. Coincidence? Soros and his manipulation only works in the shadows and with useful idiot cooperation. Our media fits right into this model as they are spoon fed morsels that keep their networks going while providing the cover needed to accomplish their own demise. Interesting how the very freedom of speech they use would be lost if their propaganda were to reach its ultimate conclusion. It's the media catch-22. In the end they would turn to each other, scratch their collective heads and wonder how this could have happened. We need to shine a bright light on these shadow manipulators. Like cockroaches they will scatter and gather in another location, under an assumed name, but their methods will not change. Facts, knowledge and faith will triumph over the tyranny of those wishing to destroy our liberty. As Ronald Reagan once said, "No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women."

11-9-2010

Hearing the president speak to the Indian people about the reduced economic power of the United States you almost get a feeling of pride in his message. He seems to relish the cutting down to size of our leadership role in the world, both economically and militarily during his first two years. It's a realization of the first steps in his socialist transformation of our country. His attack on our free enterprise system through the bully pulpit, with threats as well as actions, to curtail economic freedoms has been historic. While attacking companies for "shipping" jobs overseas he champions tax policies that almost guarantee the loss of jobs. In India we see the other face of The Obama. There he states that we need to get beyond stereotypes and welcome "outsourcing" of American jobs. True to his track record, don't pay attention to his words, it's his deeds that tell the story.

While we were focused on the mid-term elections the plan for our economic future was already set. The day after the elections our Fed started the process of "monetizing" our debt through what's being called QE2. With close to one Trillion dollars planned for this monetizing this boils down to flooding our economy with dollars. This will devalue the dollar, raise the price of everything you buy and possibly cause uncontrolled inflation. Banks and countries holding debt will be adversely affected and drastically reduce the attractiveness of our bonds on the global market. With no one to buy our debt, we go bankrupt unless we continue down the printing road. This is what third world economies like Zimbabwe have done with disastrous results. How much will a gallon of milk cost, $30, $40, $50, only time will tell. This destructive policy must be stopped immediately and government spending, including entitlements must be drastically cut back in order for us to avoid the economic reckoning that awaits down this road.

11-8-2010

Does he get it or his Narcissism so great he can't admit it. The Obama is still ignorant to the results of last Tuesdays mid-term elections. The American people spoke loud and clear, "stop the transformation and destructive policies" was the message. But according to this president it's his communication skills that were at fault not his policies. He can't admit it because to do so would mean he would have to change his methods and beliefs, he's not about to do that. While president Clinton was able to triangulate and move towards the center after his losses in 1994, The Obama will not do so. He and his radical team are too vested in their Marxist ideology to change in mid stream. They lie and mislead to disguise their intent but that intent will not change. This is the same attitude that prevents him from extending the Bush tax cuts for the top wage earners. They keep saying that the government can't afford this tax cut when it fact it's not a tax cut. In 2001 it was a tax cut, now it's just maintaining the same rates as have been in place for 10 years. If any part of these rates increase, it's a tax increase. Looks like this president and administration must have found "Economics 101 for Dummies" to be too confusing. We believe his view of the top earners is to want to spread their wealth. This is the same view he has of the United States on a global scale. Our country as a whole to him is the top wage earner of the world so by extrapolating his philosophy on global scale our wealth needs to be spread as well. This is at the heart of his global view and why in his mind there is no American exceptionalism.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, or is that White House? The Obama and his merry crew are heading to India after a political shellacking on Tuesday. At an outrageous cost of over $200 Million a day, this trip is a big mistake. Thirty-four war ships will accompany the president on his trip to India, his childhood home of Indonesia, South Korea and Japan. Foreign trips are important for presidents to take but the timing and expense of this one, specially considering the current deficit and political climate, is like rubbing salt in a wound. The largest tax increase in history is still coming on January 1, 2010 if it's not dealt with soon. We are heading into the Holidays of Thanksgiving then Christmas so time is limited. Current Democrat leadership is so radical and intent on raising taxes that it will continue to be the biggest deterrent to business and new job creation. Relief may have to wait until our new Republican led House is in place next year.

11-4-2010

The Obama is saying the result of the election is that the American people want Democrats and Republicans to work together and concentrate on the economy. Remember not to listen to his words, it's his actions that matter. That very same message that he pretends to understand has been repeated over and over by the vast majority of Americans for over a year and he has intentionally ignored it. There is no reason he will listen now. He will play the game, pretend to work together with the new Congress but will blame Republicans for any impasse. The message of the American people was loud an clear, STOP The Obama transformation and roll back the growth of government. Our new Republican leadership in the house needs o stand firm on their commitment to carry through on these promises. Like Marco Rubio said in Florida, "It's a second chance for the Republican party." We need to not just stop Federal spending, we need to roll back spending to 2008 levels, permanently extend the Bush tax cuts for every American and cut back federal regulations that are strangling our small businesses. We need to also get out of the auto and financial industries. Let our free enterprise system get back to being free, the market will correct itself. No more bailouts!

Keep an eye on the Fed's "monetizing" our national debt. Under oath in Congress Fed chair Bernanke was asked about this and flatly denied that the Fed would monetize the debt. Yesterday, the day after the election, the Fed announced they would buy $600 Billion of U.S. Bonds and plans up to a $1 Trillion buy out. Put it simply what this means is the Fed is going to cause inflation which will reduce the value of the dollar by 20%. This makes paying down the debt cheaper but it also makes everything you buy more expensive. After decades of trying to keep inflation down, they will be creating inflation on purpose. Your saving will be reduce by 20%. Your dollar would be worth 80 cents. Watch out for that man behind the curtains, the evil George Soros has said that a controlled decline in the value of the U.S. Dollar would be good. This is an outrageous pre-planned gamble that will continue the devaluing of our dollar and cause more countries to call for a new global currency. When that happens, our economy will be destroyed. Regardless of the outcome of this election, their plans on globalization continue unabated.

11-3-2010

Americans cleaned house yesterday giving Republicans a strong majority. A 63 seat gain for Republicans will allow them to start the process of repealing ObamaCare and fighting The Obama transformation. A six seat gain in the Senate will help but falls short of control. What's wrong with Nevada? Re-electing Harry Reid is like chickens voting for Colonel Sanders. The Obama's words and policies, supported by Reid, helped bring Nevada to its knees yet they still voted him in. Maybe there should be a sanity test before people are allowed to vote. Democrat Governor Manchin won the Senate seat in West Virginia running as far away from The Obama as possible. In one ad he even shot a rifle at one of The Obama's favorite bills. Newly elected Republicans talk about working together with Democrats to get things done for the American people, getting control of runaway government spending while Democrats, like Reid, talk of confrontation. Time will tell if The Obama and his Democrat lemmings continue to ignore the will of the American people. If they continue to ignore the American people, they do so at their own peril. We just witness the start of righting the ship of state, much work remains.

11-2-2010

The day of reckoning is upon us. Today we hear from what used to be the silent majority. People that normally sit on the sidelines and watch as political power shifts between center left and center right. Democrats game plan has been to disguise themselves as centrist during an election cycle then shift left when in power. During the next election they just make excuses and attack their opponents on a personal level. This time around their shift left was so radical and extreme that they have awakened a sleeping giant. A silent majority that doesn’t want our country changed into the failure that socialism brings. They respect our Constitution and don't like it trampled on like this president and Congress have done. The time for talk is over, it's time to stop the "transformation" of this great country. The radical socialist left lead by The Obama call their "change" a movement, we call it abuse of power. An uncontrolled growth of big government that cripples our economy and curtails our freedoms. Today begins a new era in America. The start of a new American revolution, a revolution to restore our nation to its rightful place. A place of honor, dignity and respect for our God given Unalienable rights. A place where Americans live and flourish in a color blind society where all men and women are equal. We have a right to life; without which no other rights matter, liberty; the ability to make our own choices, freedom; the result of making the right choice and the pursuit of happiness without fear of a tyrannical overblown federal government. God Bless America!

11-1-2010

Friday's news cycle was dominated by the suspicious packages of the thwarted terrorist attack. Senior administration officials, experts of all stripes and The Obama himself spoke of the dangers as they patted themselves on the back. What happened to "man-made disasters." All of a sudden a few days ahead of the most important election in our lifetime we learn the president is in charge and taking care of us. Nice grandstanding political theatre. By merely causing the commotion that was attributed to this act didn't we play right into the terrorists hands? They played us like a fiddle. A bomb doesn't have to go off to terrorize and that's exactly what happened here. All they have to do is disrupt and instill fear and they have won. These events are best kept under wraps as they have been in the past. When you play their game, you lose.

Democrat leadership in the house is scaring their base telling them that Tea Party candidates would be ideological and not willing to compromise if they are elected. And what exactly have these very radical ideological leftist zealots been doing the last two years? If they hadn't been so ideological, unwilling to compromise and made so many back room closed door deals, between themselves, you may not have had the Tea Party to begin with. It's The Obama's and Democrat leaderships radical policies and trampling of our Constitution that gave birth to the Tea Party. Enough is enough, throw the bums out!

10-29-2010

The old saying is, "All politics are local." We'll, not always. There are times when elections turn into national referendums. The last one was in 1994 when, after Clinton became president, passed a hug tax increase and tried his version of national health care (HillaryCare), America came together to change congress. After the Republican victory in the mid-terms of 1994 Clinton had enough sense to move to the center of the political spectrum and declare, "The era of big government is over." Unfortunately, that only lasted until Democrats took Congress back over in 2006. Clinton was aided by the DOT com explosion of the mid nineties and the Republican push for welfare reform. He turned a blind eye to the dangerous increase in terrorism in the world, due to his tutoring of interns in the Oval Office. Never the less, overall he triangulated his politics into a center left mediocrity. Bush inherited a recession after his 2000 victory, one in which he neither complained or blamed his predecessor for. Bush also had to deal with 9/11 six months after taking office and two wars. His tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 created great economic gains for six straight years. From 2001 to 2003 Democrats and their media propaganda arm demonized Bush for not being a legitimate president. After we went to war in Afghanistan and Iraq they demonized him with a daily war body count. When the surge turned things around, DEM's turned their sites to the economy. They trashed our economy until they helped bring about the crash of 2008. Starting in 2001 Bush and other republicans started warning about Fannie and Freddie. These warnings were systematically dismissed. Unfortunate circumstances lead to a convergence of events that became a crisis to be taken advantage of by the radical left. Out of nowhere came a charismatic speaker with the gift of gab like a charlatan snake oil salesman, The Obama. The most liberal voting record in the U.S. Senate did not matter. Not having the experience necessary to run the country, did not matter. Questionable qualifications to be president under Article 2 Section 1's "Natural Born Citizen" clause, did not matter. Son of a radical Muslim father and communist mother, did not matter. Having a radical Muslim stepfather in Indonesia, did not matter. Dumped at the doors steps of his white grandparents to be raised and mentored by black American communist, Frank Davis, during his formative years, did not matter. Going to Occidental College in California with what's believed to be a foreign student grant, did not matter. Records from his days at Occidental are sealed. He traveled to Pakistan twice in the eighties when it was illegal for a United States citizen to travel there, did not matter. What passport did he use, those records are sealed. Going to Harvard and becoming the president of the Harvard Law Review, yet none of his writings are public, did not matter. Those records are sealed. Going to Columbia University yet no one during the time he was supposed have gone there remembers him, did not matter. Seeking out American terrorist and head of the Weather Underground in Chicago, William Ayers, did not matter. Attending the prejudice anti-American Black Theology Church of Jeremiah Wright for twenty years did not matter. Now, after two years of his "transformative change" and systematic destruction of our way of life, now it matters. This mid-term is not an election, it's a referendum on our future. It's time to reverse that One-Big-Ass-Mistake-America. Tuesday we take America back!!!

10-28-2010

Through fear, intimidation and threats, The Obama continues his last minute efforts to stir up his base. Oh those evil Republicans, they're are out to steal your candy this Halloween and take your grandma's walker. We can't go back, those evil Republicans would bring back the failed policies of the past. He wants the "folks" to give him more time to do what they elected him to. He just doesn't get it. It's THE folks Stupid that want you to stop your socialist transformation dead in its tracks. The Obama is so blinded by his radical ideological principles that he can't see the forest for the trees. It's like the Eveready rabbit, he keeps going and going and going. I love the mute button on my remote, it's now my Obama button. It doesn't matter what he says anyway, it's his actions. His words are like he said, "Just words."

10-27-2010

The Obama's "hope" has turned to fear mongering, his "change" has been shown to be nothing less than the transformation of our country to a socialist state. He's passing blame to his supporters for not being enthusiastic about this election and if "he" loses it's their fault. The Narcissist-in-chief never fails to take care of number one first. While his ACORN and SEIU buddies are busy falsifying absentee ballots and rigging elections he's passing the buck. The truth is he has yet to stop campaigning. His first two years have been spent bashing Republicans, blaming Bush and destroying our economy. He has alienated our allies and indirectly strengthened our enemies. But to him the enemies aren't foreign countries and terrorist groups like Iran, Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, to him the enemies are Republicans. He told the Latino community to go out and punish the enemies. His whole existence is an obsession to bring down our country as we've known it and replace it with a subjugated, weakened has-been socialist nightmare. He never switched from candidate to executive, he remains a candidate with a chip on his shoulder. A community organizing Chicago-thug-tyrant wannabe. The American tidal wave is about to clear the swamp, stand aside, real change is around the corner.

10-26-2010

Portland, Maine is considering allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections. This is a slippery slope down the road to an anti-American Soros inspired world government run by socialist-Marxists. Legal residents do pay taxes and contribute to our society but there's a reason for only allowing citizens to vote. Legal residents can apply for citizenship after 5 years and then vote legally, why short circuit the system? Ownership in the United States of America should be a minimum requirement for being able to vote and effect it's future. This reasoning is similar to why Article II Section I of our Constitution states that the president "must be a natural born citizen of the United States, at least 35 years old and a resident of the United States for at least 14 years." A obsolete clause in the qualification allowed for then current citizens to also be eligible for the presidency. That meant the citizens at the time of our founding were eligible, regardless of their birthplace. If not for that clause we would not have had a president for 35 years from the date of ratification of our Constitution. The true purpose of this section of qualification was to not allow anyone to become president that may have mixed allegiances. Our president needs to have 100% allegiance to our country. Regardless of what you believe about The Obama's meeting this qualification, it's meaning is clear. Like all else, when it comes to The Obama's actions you must not just hear his words but study his actions. It is in those actions that his complete loyalty to our Constitution and country become suspicious.

First and foremost, border enforcement is a national security issue. We believe in immigration and the value that immigrants have provided to this country. After all, we are a country of immigrants, legal immigrants. What we are opposed to is illegal immigration and terrorist immigration. They are two parts of the same problem and we need to eliminate them. If anyone out there is listening, we would like to make some suggestions. Let's move some of the cold war foreign military bases to our southern border. Why do we still have bases in Germany for example. Let's also move some of the bases that we have scattered across our interior states to our southern border. Let's positions these new bases strategically across the extent of the border to enable complete control of entry. This would not only provide great training for our military but would also help keep the foreign assault that we now see in places such as Phoenix from spreading. Once the border is secure, we believe in increasing legal immigration for transient and seasonal agricultural workers. These workers could fulfill jobs not taken by American citizens or other temporary workers already in the United States. Farms could sponsor those temporary workers and thereby fulfill their production needs. Legal immigration stations could be expanded including stations at the new military bases that would enforce our borders. These steps would eliminate terrorist entry, illegal entry and abuse of migrants just trying to feed their families.

10-22-2010

Some Republican leaders in congress are saying that the American people are upset with congress because they want more compromise rather than the one party rule we have now. This is an egregious error in judgment. We don't want to compromise with the destruction of our society. That compromise would only slow down the process not reverse it. What the American people are upset with is the giant step towards socialism and statism that The Obama government have wrought the last two years. We want to stop the transformation of our country, the takeover of business and industry, the take over of financial systems, runaway federal growth/spending and the destruction of the free enterprise system. Compromising with the current president and leadership in congress is like selling your soul to the devil. In the end, you are lost. Compromising with the extreme radical agenda of this administration is like driving on a two lane road where on some blocks you drive on the right side of the road and others you drive on the left. When you come to an intersection you are bound to wreck. We want to avoid that wreck, let's get back to limited government, lower regulations, rewarding success and individual responsibility. Congress starts each day with prayer yet prayer is not allowed in our schools. The Ten Commandments adorn the Supreme Court building and doors yet they are not allowed in our public places. What kind of non-sense is that? Let's replace dangerous political correctness with common sense American principles.

The fear train directed by The Obama continues its steady rumble down the tracks. The Post-Racial-Most-Racial president keeps up his smear and fear campaign to scare his base into going to the polls. Watch out for those evil Republicans, he insinuates, they will ruin everything. God forbid we go back to the policies of the past. What a bunch of bunk. Yes we want to go back. Go back to the time when we had presidents that stood up for America not apologized for her. Go back to the time when we cherished and rewarded success not penalized and demeaned it. This is not a Democrat versus Republican election on a local level. It's a national vote for the direction of our country. Do we continues The Obama's push to transform this country into a socialist state or restore our free enterprise system, curtail big governments runaway spending and strangle hold on our economy. Systematic problems with military ballots and organized labor paybacks to steal elections will become the norm this cycle. It's a national election about the very survival of our American way of life as it was envisioned by our founding fathers. Either we prevail and get back to basic constitutional functions of government or we see our way of life fade into the abyss that is The Obama way. It's as simple as right vs. wrong or as in this case right vs. left.

Iran has been at the center of world terrorism since their revolution in 1979. They have killed numerous Americans through their proxy terrorists in Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan and many others. Their fingerprints are all over IED's in Iraq and Afghanistan that have killed so many people, not only soldiers but innocent civilians as well. Now in Afghanistan these very same Iranian's have been invited to the table for discussions on the future of Afghanistan and the region. Accepted by The Obama administration as a player in the region. The Taliban are also at the table. What kind of message are we sending our sons and daughters fighting to defeat the scourge of terrorism when we sip tea with the very people that are hell bent on destroying them? We severely limit their ability to protect themselves and go after the Taliban with our ridiculous Rules of Engagement (ROE's). We set a withdrawal date for ending our involvement signaling to the Afghani's that you'll be on your own. After we're gone, the Taliban and Iranian's will still be there, who do you think the Afghan government is going to negotiate with? Following this game plan the war has already been lost. Victory has never been an objective of this administration. Victory is a foreign word to The Obama and his ilk. Without victory as a goal there is no reason to risk or loose a single American life.

Russians make a deal with Hugo Chavez, the Communist leader of Venezuela, to build their first Nuclear Power Plant (for peaceful purposes of course) then Chavez travels to Iran to visit Ahmadinejad (And-I-need-a-job). This being Chavez's ninth visit to Iran and with Iranian Republican Guards in Venezuela, this "cooperation" seems to be getting tighter by t he day. Could this be the new axis-of-evil? A nuclear axis with a common focus of attack on the United States and a resurgent Russian power grab. It's like The Obama's not letting a crisis go to waste. This group is taking advantage of our weakened state at the hands of the apologizer-in-chief. Weaken America from within and surround from without, a strategy for our destruction with a willing accomplice in the White House.

Insinuating that Republican groups are not divulging the source of donations The Obama stated that it was like "The Empire Strikes Back." He's got this completely backwards, not unusual for him to mislead and lie. The Evil Empire is his administration and cohorts in Congress while he is Darth Vader. They represent "The Dark Side." The evil transformation of a great country and enslavement of its people. The Tea Party could be considered "The Rebel Alliance", a rag-tag band of freedom fighters. While his Evil Empire is attempting to strike back at the heart of The Rebel Alliance, good will triumph over evil and his forces will be decimated. So goes the story and so goes his administration.

After nearly two years of the Spendulus bill and supposed "shovel ready" projects The Obama admits there's no such thing as a Shovel ready project. The Spendulus bill was a big mistake, history has proven that to be true. If instead of having big government re-distribute the nearly one trillion dollars of the Spendulus we would have had a moratorium on tax withholding the economy would be booming right now. And if Spendulus funds would have actually been spent on infrastructure projects we would have at least seen some tangible benefits from the spending. Instead what we saw was payback to big labor and public sector pensions. Pensions that are bankrupting our states. Extending unemployment to nearly two years is another lame brained waste of money and a vote buying scheme. Clearly the slip of the tongue with Joe the Plumber about re-distributing wealth is at the heart of The Obama transformation plans. In two weeks the tide will change, bringing about a true transformation. The process of correcting the ship of state will be slow but at least it will have begun. Unfortunately the same corrupt captain will be at the helm but further damage can and will be curtailed.

The Blame Card, the Class Card and now back to the Race card, The Obama deck is getting a good workout. Yesterday he was asked about the increase in racial tensions and he responded, "not being able to pay bills - or having lost a job or a home - sometimes organizes itself around kind of a tribal attitude, and issues of race become more prominent." Perhaps he was reverting back to his Kenyan roots with that 'tribal attitude' thing. A racist country does not elect a black president. Could some of the issues arise from the not-so-post-racial president bringing up race at every opportunity? Jumping to conclusions on a racial level many times like with the black Harvard professor and the white officer shows his own prejudice or is that 'tribal attitude'? He looks at the multiracial room and says, "This audience just didn't exist 20 years ago." This goes to the basic difference between liberals and conservatives. Liberals look at a room and see racial groups and special interests to be taken advantage of. Conservatives look at a room and see Americans. Americans working to restore their country to the promise of our founding fathers not the progressive/Marxist utopia that has been proven to be a failure everywhere it's been tried.

As we get closer to the mid-terms more attention needs to be paid to the actions of election boards and our Department of Injustice. A department that drops a slam dunk case against the New Black Panther Party for their blatant voter intimidation during the 2008 election can not be trusted to insure the votes of our military. Our military is fighting and risking their lives daily for our ability to exercise our freedom and our right to vote. Their votes should be first in line. Absentee ballots and extended voting time should be made available to our services. Theirs should be the first counted when tallying begins. With an election as important as this one, disenfranchising our military would be tantamount to systematic voter fraud. You can bet that we'll have the usual dead voters and normal absentee fraud that takes place in most elections. The difference is the criticality of this election and the willingness of radical groups like ACORN and SEIU to push the envelop. We'll be watching…

Sometimes it helps to take a step back and look at the big picture. During an election cycle Republicans and conservatives start criticizing the Republican party for sins of the past. Yes, there have been many. During the Bush administration with a Republican Congress they made the same mistakes that caused 41 cave on his "no new taxes" pledge. Let's get along and compromise with Democrats, unfortunately this was usually to the detriment of the Republican party. That cost President Bush (41) his re-election. History will prove him to be a great president. His leadership in turning back Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait and collaboration with Arab countries will be hard to equal. He is a good man. The moral equivalency that many, including Republicans, place on current day Democrats and Republicans is like comparing terrorists to our own military. Yes, I'm comparing the current Democrats to terrorists, they are terrorizing our economic system with a daily barrage or carpet bombing. They don't care about collateral damage just like the Islamo fascists don't care about women and children in their way. They in fact hide beneath the Burka's of their women and the sling shots of their children. Our military bends over backwards at the expense of our of sons and daughters to save innocents. There is no moral equivalency here. Enough is enough. The Tea Party is about weeding out not only those Republican's in name only (RINO's) but also winning back those Reagan Democrats that used to care more about their country than their party. That's what this election is about. It's not your everyday election for sheriff, it’s an overall election for our future. Stand up, stand strong and stand united, In God We Trust!

As desperate Democrats and Progressive/Marxists throw everything at the Tea Parties, focus needs to be maintained. The latest tactic is to attempt to divide by targeting differences on social issues. The strength of the Tea Party comes from simple basic principles that a large majority of Americans have in common. Belief in our Constitution, smaller government, lower taxes and reduced regulations. Republicans, Libertarians and Independents share these beliefs. Social issues can be debated and addressed after Congress is saved from the destructive policies of the Democrat leadership and their foolish leader. This is a national election about the very survival of our Republic as we have known it to be.

The Obama and the DNC are flat out lying about the US Chamber of Commerce, Ed Gillespie and Karl Rove. The lies center around the accusation that our Democracy is being stolen by foreign contributions being used to defeat Democrats. This is a last minute smear campaign to scare the electorate. It's nothing short of outright propaganda. It's outrageous for a president who spent more on his presidential campaign than any other in history. He raised over $700 million, double what McCain raised. More than half of The Obama's contributions are yet to be accounted for. Were they from foreign governments and entities intent on stealing our election? Doesn't his record the last two years indicate that his anti-American, anti-business policies fall in line with what some of our enemies would wish for us? Facts are difficult things to ignore. The Obama is now also urging his Stupid Frog lemming followers by telling them not to make him look bad. We don't think he needs any help to look bad. Here's a few reasons; 9.6% unemployment, bowing to foreign heads of state and the Saudi King, apologizing for America at every opportunity, denying our American exceptionalism, trampling on our Constitution with the eligibility issue, his un-Constitutional ObamaCare and scores of Czars, bypassing Congress with executive orders and the list goes on. No help needed in making this president look bad, he's doing a hell of a job on his own!

National Security Advisor Gen. James Jones resigned his post yesterday and is being replaced by career politician Tom Donilon. Gen. Jones was commandant of the Marine Corps before retiring from the service. The spin is that security advisors only server for two years, the truth is that it's not two years yet and there's more to this story than a simple retirement. Coming on the heels of Gen. McCrystal's sudden retirement while heading the war effort in Afghanistan we have to question the problems involved in the current Afghan war strategy. Donilon was a strong opponent of sending more troops to Afghanistan. We are involved in a difficult war with our military being hampered by Rules of Engagement (ROE) that reward restraint. They actually have awards for acts of restraint. Victory is never mentioned by this administration and specially The Obama. If you're not in a war to win you shouldn't be in it to begin with. War is hell, literally, and should not be entered into lightly but when you commit our sons and daughters to the effort, every means at your disposal should be employed. You do not show up to a gun fight with a knife. If your aim is victory, all out hell should rain down on your enemy. Only through complete victory can peace be achieved. This change in National Security Advisor does not bode well for that victory.

The pusher-in-chief is doing everything he can to get his disgruntled base to vote in November. After all, you can't just vote once and sit back and wait for the change to happen, he insists. He's so ideologically blinded by his Marxist roots that he can't see that the American people are not of his ilk. We love our country and don't want to see the change he envisions. All 50 states, that's right, 50 not the 57 states that The Obama spoke of during his campaign. There are 57 states in Islam, was that and accidental slip of the tongue? The Obama goes on to say if Republicans take over the House and maybe the Senate there will be hand-to-hand combat on Capitol Hill. We say, bring it on. We will fight the transformation of our country at every opportunity. Soon he'll be quacking like the lame duck he's morphing into.

Cuba, The Bahamas, China just some of the players that will be drilling off our shores while our Gulf deep water moratorium continues. The lame brained leadership that our administration has shown on this issue continues on its steady march. They speak of energy independence while hampering the very independence they espouse. We're even hampering shallow water Gulf drilling by new sets of regulations supposedly intended to improve safety but which in reality is keeping some rigs idle. It goes to that Rahm-Obama strategy of not letting a crisis go to waste. Take advantage of the BP oil spill disaster and shackle our oil industry. Bottom line is more energy dependence on the Middle East and loss of American jobs. Maybe throwing a couple of solar panels on the White House will make a difference. The Department of Energy was created by Carter in 1977 to make the United States energy independent. Thirty three years later we're more dependent than ever and the Department of Energy is just another bloated bureaucracy. Big government at its best. Since that worked so well maybe we can try it for health care, auto industry, the sky's the limit when facts and history don't matter. Welcome to ObamaVille.

Rush is absolutely correct. He called The Obama a "Jackass" for not understanding that raising taxes on the top wage earners will not stimulate growth. As the Jackass is the mascot of the Democrat party, it would seem to be an honor to be called one. When they chose that mascot they must have been able to for see the idiots that would run their party. Idiots for not listening to the American people time and time again as well as not realizing that your policies hurt the very people you claim to want to help. On the official White House site they have an explanation, on a white board (take-off on Glenn Beck's black board), about how the government would have to borrow $700 Billion dollars to pay for the tax cuts for the top 2% of wage earners. This is an absolute lie. Extending the cuts would mean not taking it from them to begin with. It's not the governments money, period. At least they labeled the top 2% wage earners but they missed the fact that most of them are also wage payers. All this uncertainty just as the latest economic news show the private sector job growth dropped by 39,000. Looks like that Obamanomics needs a frontal lobotomy.

10-5-2010 Can't remember the last time we agreed with Water Mondale but he has a point about The Obama's teleprompters. He called them "idiot boards." Just after that, he did praised The Obama as being brilliant and the "idiot boards" just keep him from communicating directly with the people. We'll, at least he was partly right. The "idiot boards" just put what The Obama says in a speech format so he doesn't miss any of his own bull. When he's off the cuff, he stalls, stutters and misspeaks but still manages to get his half-truths, outright lies and misleading statements out. Either way it's difficult to get through. Now he's trying to light a fire under what's left of his radical base by tossing the blame unto them. Make no mistake, if the DEMs loose big this November, it's not his fault, it's the disgruntled supporters that let him down. It's always all about The Obama. Maybe the "idiot boards" are just mirrors!

Democrats are running away from their president like cockroaches scramble when you turn on the lights. What happened to their great accomplishments for the American people? Pelosi's saying about ObamaCare, "We have to pass it so you'll know what's in it." Or Dirty Harry Reid saying that the more people find out about it the more they'll like it. If that's so why distance yourself from your such a historic event? Personal attacks on their Republican opponents is the strategy of the day for Democrats running from the disaster that is this last session of Congress. They couldn't even pass a budget but want us to give them another shot. There's a old saying that all elections are local. That may be true in most cases and most years but not this one. This election is about the future of America and our Constitution. It's that serious. It a national election for our very survival and turning back the tide of socialism that is destroying our way of life. Beware of local voting irregularities and a systematic effort to disenfranchise the very people that guarantee our freedom, our military.

The common sense Republican "Pledge To American" was criticized by The Obama using one of his favorite cards, the class card. We're back to class warfare by pitting his supporters with the evil rich. His broken record spiel is 'those nasty Republicans only care about the rich'. Basically he's just playing to his ignorant base. Those gullible enough to believe that further penalties on top wage earners will help them. They can't be that stupid or can they. After all that's one of the reasons we founded this site. It's the uninformed that get fooled by snake oil salesmen, like The Obama, who manipulate their insecurities and prejudices to achieve the power they seek. As Abraham Lincoln once said, "You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down." This president and his pin headed intellectual elites keep doing just that.

10-1-2010

In an effort to energize his radical base, The Obama arguing that he needs more time for his policies said, "It took time to free the slaves". He's actually equating freeing the slaves to enslaving the American people. The enslavement of the American people would be the end result of his radical progressive policies. Policies that, which the term implies, progress towards Marxism. His upbringing, who he whose to associate with and the policies themselves led us to this obvious conclusion. Anyone who argues differently is whistling in the wind and ignoring the realities around them. The results of his policies are not accidental, they are by design. They have been tried before and have been proven by history to be failures yet, The Obama and his ilk continue to mislead and misdirect in order to achieve their intended goal. The goal of subverting the American system, our freedom and liberty from within.

Democrats have again highlighted their ignorance by closing down and heading home for the mid-terms. Having time for a comedian to "testify" as an expert witness on immigration but not having the time to bring up a vote on extending the Bush tax cuts is flat out a dereliction of duty. The uncertainty of the tax situation is probably the number one cause of the current hesitation by businesses to hire new employees or expand their operations. Their strategy seems to be clear, blame Republicans for not going along with a partial extension of the Bush tax cuts. This strategy is flawed and will backfire. First of all they keep framing this as a tax cut, it is no such thing. It's leaving tax rates at their current levels. Secondly, any tax increase in this economic climate would be catastrophic for the economy and job creation. They also keep harping that Republicans want to give the "rich" a tax cut. Extending the Bush cuts is not giving the rich a tax cut, it's keeping taxes the same, there's no cut in that. The "rich" that The Obama and DEMs keep talking about is anyone making over $250,000 a year. If you consider small businesses to be companies with less than 500 employees then 97% of those making more than $250,000 a year are small businesses. In other words The Obama and DEMs want to RAISE taxes on small businesses, it's that simple.

Attacking the Tea Party didn't work so why not attack your own party. The Obama and his progressive/socialist allies are now doing just that. They are stirring the emotions of their base with the help of community organizing thugs like ACORN and SEIU. The goal is to finish the job they started. Finish destroying our way of life? Our Constitution? Transforming America? They understand that Americans have finally seen through their smoke and mirrors so now they are going after the very people, who by being dependent on government largesse, will have the most to loose with the presidents loss. God forbid that their almost two years of unemployment assistance be cut or that their out of control pensions be trimmed. After all, it's about 'fairness' and redistribution of wealth. Could this be the last gasp of a failed philosophy or a warning sign of the treachery to come?

9-29-2010

DEMs scare tactics on Social Security are starting to ramp up, just in time for the mid-terms. Everyone knows that Social Security is on a trajectory towards bankruptcy.   Something has to give as there will be less people paying into to the system as the numbers collecting go up. Either there will be cuts in payouts, increased retirement age or huge increases in taxes. Republicans for decades have tried to stave off the inevitable train wreck yet have always been met with Democrat demagoguery on the issue. Their mantra has always been, "Democrats want to save Social Security, Republicans want to privatize or eliminate it." With the American electorate more informed now than ever, DEMs will not get away with it this time. Their lies, backroom deals and out of control spending is in plain view. The days of their misinformation and obfuscating are coming to a close.

The blatant ignorance, hypocrisy and condescension of liberal Democrats was in full display this past weekend. Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) said this about the DEM's troubles this coming election, "“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening.” The irony here is that they have it completely backwards. Their leadership is 180 degrees out of phase with the majority of the American people. The fact is people not paying attention is what got these fools elected in the first place. People are paying attention now, they have been awakened from a stupor by the undeniable intentional destruction of the American way and America's exceptionalism. The contempt that The Obama has shown for the United States in his brief time in office is outrageous. Run away deficits and uncontrolled federal growth has helped to educate the electorate to what's at stake when progressives/socialists are in complete control of our government. Time to through the bums out!

Democrats and their MSM accomplices are running around misleading the American public with the "tax cut" for the rich class card. They want people to believe that Republicans want to give the rich a tax cut. The truth is if all the Bush tax cuts remain in place no one is getting a tax cut. The issue is are taxes going up for upper income tax payers (including small businesses) or will they remain the same. Instead of taking a vote on this pivotal issue, which is hampering economic activity, Democrats decided to distract by turning a committee hearing into a Comedy Central skit.   Calling Stephen Colbert as an expert witness on immigration by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) made a mockery of Congress and its leadership. We're looking forward to this coming week when Democrats will show up to the front steps of Congress and pile out of a vintage VW bug. We'll be counting the clowns!

Iranian president Ahmadinejad (sounds like "and-I-need-a-job") was at it again yesterday at the UN. In his speech before the general assembly, amongst his other outrageous comments, he said this about 9/11, "...some segments within the U.S. government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order also to save the Zionist regime. The majority of the American people as well as other nations and politicians agree with this view."   Can anyone say straitjacket? This is coming from the head of a government who will shortly have nuclear weapons. They already have the means to deliver them. Since the Iranian revolution in 1979 when they took our embassy personnel hostage and held them for 444 days, Iran has been at the center of the worlds terrorism. They support Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and terrorist in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their finger prints are all over the IED's which kill our sons and daughters. How long are we going to continue to attempt befriending an enemy that wants to annihilate you? Could this be The Obama's October surprise?

Republican leadership in Congress has come up with a "Pledge to America". We applaud this pledge as a common sense start to right the ship of state. We cannot continue down the road we're on and remain the American we all love and respect. Getting back to Constitutional basics and rolling back the nanny state is a step in the right direction. We would like to see a more aggressive stance on taxes. Merely keeping the Bush tax cuts across the board is not cutting taxes but rather, not allowing a tax increase to take place. Beyond keeping these cuts in place we would encourage new tax cuts to allow the private sector the create real jobs that will bring the economic opportunities that we desperately need today. Americans have a clear choice in November. Either vote for the America that has been the envy and liberator of the world or continue down the path to a socialist state with all the impersonal control and misery it entails.

Today's BLOG was submitted by a subscriber:
You are a union worker, or have been an educator, school employee union worker like me. Please think about this. Under the UN Global Governance embraced by this administration, including the Clintons, the big unions (umbrellas for our local unions) are set to represent workers worldwide. Under the notion that unions are in place for the purpose of wage and working condition protection for all members, it makes sense that global unions (which will include our unions here in the USA), will work for all the Global workers they represent (including those in the USA). The president, his administration, his many appointed czars, some members of Congress, union leaders and other government representatives, have been taped saying that it is important to re-distribute the wealth of the USA. Some people here in this country have taken it to mean that this redistribution of wealth is meant for the middle class’ money to go to poorer citizens of this country, but it appears that’s not necessarily what this administration and the ruling elite has in mind. Think about it. As an example, the last incandescent light bulb factory in the United States shut down and the factory has been moved to China where the Chinese workers there continue to make incandescent light bulbs (all this in the name of protection to the environment in the USA). What if these workers were to be represented by some form of Global Workers Union (which I think it’s already taking place)? What if, the goal of the redistribution of the wealth of the United States has nothing to do to redistributing the wealth to our own citizens but instead, to redistribute our hard earned money Globally (China, Venezuela, Zimbabwe)? The American worker is a charitable person, and has been known for contributing, via churches, places of worship, and charitable organizations, more than their fair share in assisting other people and countries. Leveling the playing field can very well mean that our standard of living will be brought down in order for someone’s standard of living in an dictatorship, such as China or Zimbabwe, to be marginally increased. Our money will be funneled through the UN Global Governance promoted by the ruling elites. France and Spain are already calling for Global Taxes to help other countries (guess where most of those taxes will come from). Our Constitution will be by-passed. Our rights will be trashed. All in the name of leveling the playing field, redistribution of wealth, or any other slogans used by the ruling elite. How much are we willing to sacrifice so these elites can supplant our individual rights and “redistribute” our hard earned money, in order for them to have their Global Initiatives/Global Governance/One World Order, etc.? How much are we willing to have our children and grandchildren sacrifice because we were too distracted, ignorant or apathetic? We all need to be educated about the meaning of all of this, because this may be just the tip of the iceberg. As I said before, these people are working 24/7 to change our country and our way of life. Many of the mechanisms were already in place right before the last presidential elections and these evil doers were just waiting for the right opportunity to systematically put them in place. It really is up to us to educate ourselves and assist our friends, family and neighbors in seeing what’s going on. Our country has been hijacked. Our unions have been hijacked. All this in the name of Global Initiatives/Global Governance. God Forgive Us and Help Us.

The Obama again dismissed the Tea Party as mistaken on whose to blame for the economy. First they where a fringe group of right wing fanatics. Refusing to take responsibility for the failed policies of his administration is his main fault for which he will never admit. Narcissists never admit their failures. The Tea Party is the Silent Majority becoming vocal. Socialists policies and an out of control spending spree are the straws that broke the camels back. You can't change the facts. The economic downturn started when Democrats took over on January 3, 2007. The Obama just capitalized on the crisis to transform America into a European style socialist state or worse, an all out communist state. The Tea Party is a manifestation of the majority of Americans saying enough is enough and we're not going to take it anymore. Stop trashing the Constitution and lets get the government back to the functions which are enumerated in our founding documents. November 2 can't come soon enough...

Now it's time for that old ritual of Republicans eating their own. In Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum lost the Republican gubernatorial nomination to Rick Scott and refused to support him, in Delaware Rep. Mike Castle lost the Republican senate nomination to Christine O'Donnell and refused to back her and in Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski lost the Republican nomination to Joe Miller and she did not just refuse to support him but is going to run as a write-in candidate. These are just a few examples of what happens heading into the election stretch. We disagree with those that say a candidate like Castle needed to get our support because he would be more likely to win the general election. Having Castle in the Senate would just add another RINO to our rolls. We need Congressmen and Senators who stand on their conservative principles not just in speeches but in action. Cut government down to size, reduce or rollback regulations, taxes and fees and get out of the way of the private sector.   Let's make the Constitution the center of any new legislation and strike down those laws that have trampled on the Constitution, specially ObamaCare.

Very interesting how The Obama administration, with their accomplices in both the media and Congress, have managed to frame the Bush tax cut debate. According to them it's not about raising taxes on any American in a time of sever economic trouble but rather Republicans wanting to give the wealthy tax cuts. They've mange to make people think that these would be new tax cuts for American couples making more than $250,000 a year or individuals making more than $200,000 a year. Facts are stubborn things, these insinuations are completely false. They will stick to their communist theory of repeating a lie over and over until the people believe it to be true. The facts are that not extending any part of the Bush tax cuts would be tantamount to increasing taxes, period. Their class warfare about the "rich" not needing the money is completely false. First off, it's not the governments role to determine how much is too much money for someone to make. Secondly, many small business owners file taxes jointly with their personal taxes. Raising their taxes would result in even fewer new jobs in the private sector. During The Obama's presidency the federal workforce has increased by 10% while private sector jobs have shrunk by 7%. We should be going the other way. No new taxes and reducing the size of the federal government should be a top priority.

Time for the chameleons. Seems like whenever we enter the last couple of months of an election cycle Democrats run away from their records, radical policies and head towards the right. In 2006 it seemed they sent Pelosi and Reid to Siberia for a long vacation so they could pull the wool over the electorate, which they did. Now they are running away from the three stooges, The Obama, "Blinky" Pelosi and "Dirty Harry" Reid. Thankfully it looks like they won't get away with it this time. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Even RINO's play this game. Christine O'Donnell's victory over 40 year RINO Castle in Delaware shows that principles are more important to today's voter than mere labels. We would rather loose a RINO than have one in Congress who continues to compromise on our conservative ideals.

The MSM, some in the new other media, most of our Congress and mainly this administration keeps laughing off those Americans that believe in the Constitution, every article and every clause. Making fun of and ridiculing does not answer the basic question at stake, nor does it justify violating the Constitution itself. Our country is being defeated from within, just like many of our enemies going back decades had predicted and we're asleep at the wheel. God help us if we're the generation that surrendered our liberty for the sake of political correctness and racial equality. Neither of which is correct or equal. We have a president who has a blank background as far as records are concerned. The information and facts surrounding him are detrimental. His official records are secret, they consist of birth certificate, passport records, college records, college papers and others. If you had a history that would qualify you for president all of those records would be public. What is there to hide? Would you be ashamed of your college papers when, after all, you were the president of the Harvard Law Review? Would you be ashamed of your travels to foreign countries? Would you be ashamed of your associations growing up and the fact that your father, step father and mother where Communist sympathizers at the very least? Where are those pictures of little league baseball, football and basketball? Where is The Obama presidential library going to be, Kenya, Chicago or Hawaii?

Republicans need to hold firm to not raising any taxes for any sector of the American economy, period. Going along with The Obama's partial extension of the Bush tax cuts for only the middles class is caving to class warfare that this president is so found of using. Any part of the Bush tax cuts that are not extended is just another way of raising taxes. Any increase in taxes in an economic downturn, like we're in, is just another nail in the progressive economic coffin. Liberals will not cave on extending the cuts for what they call the "very-rich". Not just "rich", they're "very-rich". As JB Williams points out in one of today's articles, there's another name for the rich, it's employer. The Obama deck of cards consists of the class card, race card, apology card and surrender card. Taken together they're a deck of fools.

Imam Rauf states that if he knew how much concern his proposed new Mosque would cause that he wouldn't have decided to build it near ground zero. This is just another of his propaganda excuses to help win over some of the spineless amongst us. Regardless of what he says about what he new the fact remains that he knows now. Knowing now, what he knows now, and he is still belligerent in his intentions. Blaming his detractors for the current standoff is a classic way of deflecting from your original intent. There is no coincidence that his Ground Zero Mosque would be Called The Cordoba Initiative. The Great Mosque of Córdoba was converted by the Umayyad Moors from the Visigothic Christian church after the Islamic conquest of the Visigothic kingdom in Cordoba, Spain. The Mosque was built in 600 AD. It was later converted to a Roman Catholic church after the Spanish re-captured their territory. The Great Mosque of Córdoba was indeed a monument to the Moors Islamic conquest. The Ground Zero Mosque must be kept from becoming our Great Mosque of Córdoba.

The Obama's class warfare tax propaganda is getting as stale as two day old toast. He continues to advocate allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire for the "wealthiest" Americans even though any tax increase during an economic crisis would be counter productive. He can't bring himself to vary from his strict ideological extreme positions. He continues stating that the rich don't need the extra money. It's not the governments job to determine how much money a person needs. Why do we have a pay Czar to begin with? He says we can't afford to "spend" that money by giving it back to the rich. We wouldn't be giving anything back, it's about not taking it to begin with. We're not even discussing a tax cut, this is about not raising any taxes at a time when those taxes would further undermine a slow economy. He keeps attacking Republicans for his new $50 billion jobs bill by saying that it will be paid by closing a loophole for businesses which ship jobs overseas. Cutting a loophole is Washington speak for raising taxes, that's the bottom line on this type of action. Those additional taxes will further decrease job production and hurt and already ailing economy. Every move they make seem to have a negative impact and yet they wonder why we are not recovering. The bottom line is Democrat fool headed big government policies are detrimental to our free enterprise system. The downturn began when Democrats took over Congress in 2007 and was accelerated dramatically when The Obama was elected. In eighteen months he has increased the deficit more than the years from George Washington to Ronald Reagan combined. That's "change" we can do without!

National correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, Jeffrey Goldberg, asked Cuban Communist Dictator Fidel Castro if Cuba's economic system was still worth exporting to other countries, and Castro replied: "The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore." This is an incredible revelation from a murdering dictator who has been in power since Eisenhower was president. Notice the question asks, "... is it still worth exporting." The failed Communist system in Cuba and everywhere else has never been worth exporting. The MSM is still on a honeymoon with evil. Cuba has been an island prison for over 50 years. People risk their lives daily, and many loose them, escaping via home made rafts to the perils of the sea just for the possibility of achieving liberty for them and their families. We need to build fences to keep illegal's out they have to build them to keep their serfs in. Some will say he has not been the president for years but the truth is he never gave up his leadership of the Communist Party which, in essence, is the person in charge in a Communist system. He has held that position since 1959. Unfortunately for us, as even a Communist tyrant 90 miles from our shores finally admits their failures, our progressive leaders are taking us towards that very same destructive end.

The first amendment guarantees freedom of speech and freedom of religion. It was cited by The Obama for the primary reason the Ground Zero Mosque should be built. Burning the American flag has also been judged to be protected by the first amendment. Although these actions are protected, they are not wise and can be outright insulting. In the case of our flag, this administration would respect its burning because of freedom of speech embodied in the first amendment. We find burning of our flag to be an insult and betrayal to all those who love this country and have fought and scarified to defend her. Our flag is burned regularly by Muslim fanatics who hate our way of life and want to inflict their cave dwelling Sharia law on us. This brings us to the planned burning of the Koran by the Dove World Outreach Center on 9/11. Just the threat of burning the Koran and out come American flag burners with their riots and condemnation of the United States. Create a cartoon with a depiction on Mohamed and off with your head. We question the wisdom of this administrations selective defense of the first amendment while pandering to Muslims. Burning the American flag, the Koran and building the Ground Zero Mosque are all wrong! We need to keep in mind that we are dealing with people who don't hold the same beliefs we do. If they had their way, our Constitution would be a worthless piece of scrap paper.

Excuse me ahead of time but I couldn't resist. This labor day reminded me of actual labor, like in giving birth. Never felt it but it sure looks painful. Watching The Obama give a speech on the economy resembles that pain. It's excruciating but the big difference is in an actual labor a beautiful child is the result, in The Obama type, the outcome is more of the same big government socialist man-made disaster. The latest is another $50,000,000,000 (that's billion) for infrastructure projects. Wasn't that what the failed Spendulus trillion dollars was supposed to do? The Spendulus should never have been but when it was passed it would've have been helpful if spent on the very infrastructure projects that this new round of spending purports to be. It's to late now, we are broke and any new spending will just exacerbate the situation. The Spendulus was used to prop up failed union pensions and for payback to the The Obama liberal backers that helped bring us down the dead end road we are currently on. Cutting spending and taxes across the board is what's needed now. A cut in taxes, or at least not increasing it by allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire, will go a long way in aiding the economy. Democrats will argue that we can't afford it, the truth is, we cannot afford not to. They view the economy in a static model. The economy is not static but rather dynamic. Cutting taxes will spur economic activity that will in turn increase tax revenues thereby more than offsetting the initial costs. Deep down inside they know this and that's why they purport to extend the Bush tax cuts for the "middle class." What they can't bring themselves to admit is that it works, period, for everyone. What they call "the rich" are carrying more than their fair share of the burden now. They, by definition, have the money to invest and create jobs. Penalize them further and you will be hurting the very people you say you want to help. But then you would be admitting that your policies are the failure we all know them to be.

The Obama economic team is at it again trying to come up with yet another jobs plan. This time they call it a "targeted" jobs bill. It's like the blind leading the blind, they have no clue. No matter how many times you go down a dead end street, you're still going to run into a dead end. It's your policies, Stupid. They say the new bill wouldn't add to the deficit and would be paid for by cutting corporate tax loopholes. This new potential attack on our corporations will only server to continue the uncertainty that they are currently functioning under and further put off any new hiring and job creation. Everything these big government intellectual pinheads put forth only creates more obstacles to an economic recovery. On this labor day let's honor the American labor force. When unshackled by big government excesses and nanny state cuddling, the workforce can again become the driving force to prosperity and security. Continued giveaways to big labor and government unions will only prolong the negative economic spiral in which we find ourselves. As economic advisors keep jumping off the sinking Obama ship we hope they will not be replaced. To do nothing is better than to continue the socialist manipulations that are destroying the pillars of our free enterprise system. With the largest tax increase in history coming our way on January 1, 2011, the administration keeps ignoring the elephant in the room. As The Obama goes on yet another vacation this weekend we look forward to the day when he goes on a permanent one, that day can't come soon enough.

Unemployment climbed to 9.6% today. No surprises here as this number is still lower than true unemployment would suggest. Many people have dropped out of the active work force because of the dismal economic environment. Government growth at the expense of the private sector can only result in the malaise (Jimmy Carter flashback) that we see everyday. The uncertainty of more government regulations, higher taxes, cost of ObamaCare and further attacks on corporations can only serve to stifle growth and entrepreneurship. Perhaps it is not the uncertainty but rather the certainty that this administration will continue their anti-business socialist policies that's causing the problem. If left alone, the recession would have been over long ago. It's the "taking advantage" of a crisis to "transform" America that is at the root of this disaster in the making.

Just a reminder:

Here we go again. The Israeli Palestinian peace talks now taking place in Washington are doomed from the beginning. The Palestinians are divided between the Palestinian Authority run by the Fatah party on the West Bank and the terrorist group Hamas which runs Gaza. Hamas initiated the current "peace" talks by murdering Israelis in a blatant terrorist attack. One of the victims was a pregnant women. This despicable act was celebrated in the streets of Gaza as a victory. Remember just after 9/11 when these very same Palestinians where celebrating that attack? Their charter calls for the destruction of Israel. You cannot negotiate with evil, you either defeat it, be defeated by it or live in a state of terror. Until the Palestinians themselves denounce the terrorists amongst them and reform their governance there will not be peace. In the meantime Israel should prepare to continue their defense and take the war to their enemies, whenever they are attacked. Restraint only prolongs the inevitable. When you are isolated and surrounded by people that want to annihilate you, only overwhelming force and victory will bring you peace.

Although The Obama mentioned in his Oval Office speech last night that he had a difference of opinion with President Bush on the Iraq war and that President Bush was a strong supporter of the military, he stilled danced around the truth. The Obama was a strong opponent of the surge which turned the war around. If he had been president, Iraq would have been lost and Iran would be even stronger menace in the region.   He and his liberal friends were flat out wrong. His opinions before he was elected and his policies since have been a disaster both domestically and in the foreign affairs arena. His non-American blame America first knee jerk responses are a tell tale sign of his heart felt disdain for that which is the American way. It's political correctness gone amok on a presidential level. Sad to witness and harder to swallow. He even had the gall to partially blame the deficit on the war while ignoring the fact that his failed Spendulus bill cost more in 18 months than the Iraq war in 7 years. Good presidents acknowledge their mistakes and give credit where credit is due. This narcissistic one is incapable of such humility.

What does The Tea Party, the Glenn Beck 8.28 Restoring Honor gathering and the individual have in common? It's about putting American first. Getting back to the fundamental basic principles that this great country was founded on. The Judeo Christian values the founding fathers relied on for their inspiration and which formed the common thread which held them together. It's about the battle against the political correctness that is destroying the fabric of our culture. When you remove God from our lives and that of our children in the false pretense of upholding an imaginary separation of church and state, you create a void. An emptiness that will be filled by something other than what we hold to be our moral compass, our belief in our Creator, in something greater than ourselves. We were the silent moral majority and we're not silent anymore!

In response to a question from NBC's Brian Williams of why so many Americans question his faith, The Obama said, “I can’t spend all of my time with my birth certificate plastered on my forehead.” That didn't answer the question but since he brought it up, what birth certificate is plastered on his forehead? He's never made his birth certificate available, they did post a Certification of Live Birth from Hawaii which can be acquired by anymore who claims to have a child, regardless of where that child is born. That "certification of live birth" was proven to be a forgery and was taken down as a result. So much for transparency. Repeating the same lie over and over will not magically turn it into the truth. He continued by saying, “I will always put my money on the American people, and I’m not going to be worried too much about what rumors are floating around there.” What? He's been ignoring the American people his whole presidency. When a million people showed up for Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial this weekend, The Obama said he wasn’t surprised that Beck was able to “stir up” people during uncertain economic times. "Stir up" people, it's about American citizens concerned about uncontrolled growth in government and the socialist Obama policies which are eroding our freedom. The same American citizens he ignored when he rammed his ObamaCare down our throats. In the same interview when Williams said that people compare Katrina to the BP oil spill by saying it's "Obama's Katrina" he says that it's nothing like that because his quick response prevented a much worse outcome. Quick response? He's living in lala-land. How can you take his words seriously when he continues to spew out nonsense.

The Obama State Department has just taken a huge step in undermining our country. For the first time in our history, we have sent a "report" to the U.N. Human Rights Council outlining human rights violations that supposedly take place in the United States. This is an outrageous act of treason. The report even states that "predatory" lending to minorities lead to the housing crisis we face. The U.N Human Rights council has several member countries alternate through for specified periods of time. Members such as Cuba, North Korea, Iran and currently Cameroon. Countries where human rights do not exist. They systematically report on what they consider human rights violations in Israel while ignore the very countries that have been a part of the council and who constitute the worst human rights violators in the world. My father wrote the book, "Human Rights: The Theme of Our Times." In this book he describes his Benedi Doctrine on the Institutional Violations of Human Rights. It basically states that if in a countries laws and constitutional documents it is allowed to violate an individual's human rights, then the human rights violation has already taken place. Our human rights come from our Creator not from governments. The beauty of our great country is that our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution guarantee those rights. The State Department should have sent a copy of the Declaration of Independence to the U.N., that we could have supported. This despicable act of condemning the United States by the United States will only serve to embolden our enemies and give them the "proof" they've been waiting for. Just another Obama betrayal.

Between shrimp and golf in Martha's Vineyard a timeout to discuss the economy. The Obama held a teleconference with his "economic team" (if you can call them that" to go over the current economic situation. Unfortunately they seem to be blind to the reality in their face. White House spokesmen refuse to to disclose whether they even discussed a double-dip recession. Not surprising at all if you take a look at their current blame game propaganda. It is clear to everyone except The Obama and his cohorts that the very policies they espouse are at the root of the problems. You can't sugar coat it and you can't make a dead horse run.   Don't look for any beneficial changes for to do so would be to admit their policies are wrong. They keep blaming Bush and so called failed policies of the past while pushing socialist/communist policies that have failed everywhere they been tried. Those supposed "failed policies" where responsible for the greatest economy the word has ever seen. Their propaganda is starting to sound like trying to sell snow balls to Eskimo's.

Along with his fearless leader their showing the complete incompetence of their big government policies. The blame game is over, they own this failed economy. Our only hope is a take over of the house and senate by conservatives intent on reversing the nightmare that is The Obama administration. Once that victory takes place in November the free fall will slow and begin it's turnaround. Changes cannot be made until the new Congress is actually sworn in but just the knowledge of a true "change" back from the abyss is in the process, Americans attitude and optimism will return.

In Islam a child takes on the religion of the father. The Obama was born to a Muslim father therefore he was a Muslim by birth. Sometime in his life he converted or rejected Islam by becoming a Christian. Was this done for political convenience? As far as Islam is concerned a person who leaves the faith is an Apostate and subject to the death penalty. If a Muslim kills an ex-Muslim he cannot be punished for it under their law. Does that sound like freedom of religion to you? How can you espouse freedom of religion to a religion that's not free? That is the bogus argument of the Ground Zero Mosque. It's called the Cordoba Initiative.   The Cordoba Initiative is nothing more than a celebration of Muslim victory. In history every time Muslims have been victorious in a battle they have built a Mosque to celebrate that victory. So much for peaceful outreach. Speaking of freedom of religion, when The Obama gave a speech at Georgetown University (a Catholic school) he had the crucifixes covered up so they wouldn't be visible in the background. Freedom of religion, I guess that only applies to certain religions, if you can call Islam a religion.

Looks like The Obama has worn out his blame Bush rhetoric and is now blaming Congress. The latest wrath from the chosen one is about the new jobs bill. As we've pointed out before in this BLOG, Democrats have controlled Congress since they won mid term elections in 2006. Our deficit was on a four year reduction path when they took over. Since then it has been spiraling out of control. More of the same policies will only make things worse. Cutting taxes not new spending is what is needed to turn the economy around. Allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire, even if only for the highest earners, could be the straw that breaks the camels back. It's The Obama's Congress, it's The Obama's policies but yet it is never The Obama's fault. It's about time that blame is placed squarely where it belongs, it's The Obama, Stupid!

It's no coincidence the state department announces that Middle East peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority will take place next week in Washington. This coming at the same time as Iran test fires a new missile and puts their first nuclear power plant online. Having peace talks is a distraction that will only be setting Israel up for failure. Demands will be made that Israel will not be able to accept. Even if an agreement was possible it won't cover Gaza which is run by the terrorist group Hamas. Israel would then be further isolated than it is now as the current administration will increase the pressure for a settlement. The Obama's cozying to Muslim's and backing of the Ground Zero Mosque is a clear indication of where he stands. He wrote in his book, "Dreams from My Father" that if political winds change he will stand with the Muslims. In his own words and his own deeds he has broadcast his true intentions.

They're directly involved in Iraq and Afghanistan causing untold deaths to both our soldiers and the Muslims they pretend to stand for. Today Iran tested a new missile which is capable of hitting Israel. Tomorrow they will put their first nuclear reactor online. What are we waiting for?   We've keep kicking this can down the road, sooner of later we'll either have a nuclear Iran or we'll have to take the reactors out. The longer we delay the harder the job will be. Other nations in the middle east share our concern, if not publicly, in private. They will not interfere. Only through a strong and deliberate strategic strike can an arms race in the area be avoided. The clock is ticking.

New jobless claims rose to 500,000, the third straight rise and the largest number since November of 2009, so much for the recover summer. It's more like the recovery snow-job. No matter how often you call a skunk a rose, it still stinks. Rosy lies have turned to "Don't give in to fear." But fear is the feeling of the day. Fear of the socialistic disaster that this president has been imposing on his transformation tour, in between his lavish vacations. As Arthur Laffer has said, "You can't love jobs and hate job creators." This administration and the socialist/communist philosophy they espouse does just that. It's as simple as abc, if you penalize productivity and success, you get less of it. If you subsidize 50% of the population, you may get re-elected but you will destroy your economy. That's where we are today but don't expect this administration to change it's stripes. They're intent on the destruction of our free enterprise system so it can be replaced or transformed into welfare state. Failed ideas have that have been proven everywhere they've been tried.

Nancy "Blinky" Pelosi says the ground zero Mosque is a local NY issue and they need to decide what to do. Was 9/11 a local NY issue? Following her logic, it was. 9/11 was an attack on all of America, it was a dagger in our heart. There are over 100 other Mosque's in NY which would obviously show that this is not a freedom of religion issue, that excuse is just a copout. These bleeding heart progressives side with Hama's and other Muslim radicals against the will of the majority of the American people. The Obama has said that he is not commenting on the wisdom of building the Mosque there but only on the religious freedom of it. That's absolutely false. By interjecting himself into the issue at his Iftar dinner he was supporting the wisdom of building it near ground zero. Consider his audience, that's who he aimed to please and that is their belief as well. Blinky also questions the founding of groups which oppose the building of this Mosque yet doesn't question the funding of the actual Mosque or the history of its Imam. This is clearly another case where this administration and the looney DEM leadership in Congress side against the will of the American people. Harry Reid only came out against it because of the tight race that he is in for his reelection in Nevada. Otherwise you could bet the farm that he would be tied to the hip of The Obama and his accomplice, Blinky.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:

You can’t take the “community organizer” out of this President. President Obama has a hard time being “presidential.” He cannot seem to resist involving himself in issues that do not rise to presidential action or attention. We all remember how he put his two cents in the cop/professor scuffle in Boston which resulted in the infamous “beer summit” at the White House. Now the president has chosen to pander to the Muslim community during his White House Iftar dinner, by making inappropriate remarks regarding the controversial New York City Mosque being planned near Ground Zero.

Republicans are right to ask Democrats in this election cycle if they agree with their president with regard to the Mosque being built near Ground Zero. The president’s position that this is a “freedom of religion” argument is wrong. This is about decency, respect and appropriateness. There is no argument at all with regard to religious freedom. Democrats will have to support or distance themselves from their president with regard to his shifting positions on this issue. This is the same president who believes that those that attacked us on 9/11 are NOT enemy combatants but instead mere criminal defendants that should be tried in a New York City federal district court within steps of Ground Zero. Shameful.

The Obama "comedy tour" or is that "recovery tour", it's hard to discern the difference. Mark Twain once said, "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." In our 24 hour electronic instant news life, those lies are dangerously multiplied. His statements on the Spendulus and economic recovery fly straight in the face of reality. It has been difficult to view The Obama propaganda statements since he came into office but now they have actually started to take on a comedic tone. Instead of getting upset try laughing it off, most everyone else is and it's actually becoming entertaining. Looking forward to his next show.

That mosque, if built, will be a desecration and direct insult to the victims and families of those cowardly murdered by Islamic terrorists on 9/11. This is one more piece of evidence of this presidents disdain for America and our way of life. How much more destruction can he muster before we get enough backbone to call him out and impeach him for his treasonous actions. Liberty is at stake!

A group of students with the group Young America’s Foundation were touring the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, CD two months ago when they spontaneously decided to sing the national anthem. In our politically correct nonsense world a security guard came over and told them to stop singing. The park police said that demonstrations were not allowed. So according to this upside down world, singing the national anthem is a demonstration. Where has our common sense gone? This idiotic policy would treat an anti-American mob burning the American flag the same as a group of students singing the national anthem. This PC nonsense has to end. What kind of lessons are we teaching our children when their is no difference between right and wrong. When we are not allowed to be judgmental. When we are not allowed to keep score in youth sports because we don't want to offend anyone's feelings. We desperately need to get back to basics, both in our governments role in society and our own role in our families. Basic common sense American conservative principles and values that made this country great. Stop the baloney and refuse to go along with this stupidity.

Senator (Dingy) Harry Reid (D-NV) said he couldn't understand how any Hispanic can be a Republican. Well, it's very simple, Dingy, it's called Liberty, Freedom and individual responsibility. These are foreign terms to the liberal elite of which Dingy is a head cheerleader. When they see an individual they really don't, they see race then category. They classify, group and entrap. By doing so, they garner their political power. What government can do for the collective, in any particular category, determines how much political power they can muster with their hand outs and favors. The bigger the government, the more serfs are dependent on them, the more power and job security they gain. Republicans see an individual as a unique being capable of all he or she can accomplish according to their will and needs. Democrats see a dependent. The hypocrisy on the left is as blatant as their policies are destructive.

Susan "RINO" Collins and Olympia Snowe "Job" betrayed their fellow Republicans and the American people by going alone with the Democrats latest Spendulus bill. What began as a $10,000,000,000 (Billion) giveaway to unions became a $26,000,000,000 (Billion) boondoggle when Collins and Snowe got a $16 Billion addition for Medicare to offset the cuts due to ObamaCare.   This money has to come from somewhere but this Congress just keeps piling on the debt rather than finding waste to cut. This bill is so outrageous that it hasn't even been named. It's officially listed as the "_____Act of ______". You can fill in the blanks yourself. It's amazing that this president and Congress continue to thumb their nose at the will of the American people with their irresponsible spending. More reasons for term limits.

The Obama keeps sounding like a broken record with his car in the ditch analogy. He questions why you would want to go back to what he calls "the failed policies of the past." I wonder if he's talking about the policies that made our economy the envy of the world? The policies that helped our free enterprise system create advances in technology and medicines that run the world's industry and has saved millions of lives?   He says that now that the car is out of the ditch Republicans can't have the keys back because they don't know how to drive. Using his analogy, Republicans haven't been driving since January 2007, that's when the Democrats took control of Congress. He's been the head of the disastrous march over the cliff for almost two years now. Although president Bush inherited a recession in 2001, an Islamic terrorist attack 9 months later, two wars and we still had excellent economic growth until the Democrats took control. When the surge turned the war in Iraq around they could no longer use their daily diatribe about the body count to trash Bush, they turned their attention to the economy. An economy in which they where controlling the purse strings. Economic well being has allot to do with perception. If you constantly beat the drumbeat of doom and gloom you will be creating a self fulfilling prophecy. They got what they sowed. Here's a graph that clearly shows this corelation:

Facts are stubborn things!

The Obama would say, "We must sacrifice, do without, tighten our belts because this inherited economic disaster that Bush left us has no end in sight." That is of course unless you are Michelle Obama, then you can go on a $500,000 lavish vacation to Spain. It's not really a vacation, she's actually spreading the wealth. This kind of behavior is typical for the political elite in tyrannical regimes but not the kind of actions that we expect from leaders of a free country. She should have vacationed in the Gulf Coast where The Obama's oil drilling moratorium continues to hurt the regions economy. As the economy continues to tank under the shackles of The Obama's socialist policies it's only a matter of time before something gives. This administration is either ignorant of economic principles that would help economic growth and job creation of they are intentionally trying to destroy our free enterprise system, my bet is on the latter.

Today marks a sad day for our Constitution. Elena Kagan will be sworn in as a Supreme Court Justice by The Obama in a ceremony that will in essence mark the beginning of another long term liberal stamp on the court. Although she will be replacing the most liberal justice on the court, Justice Stevens, the fact that she is 50 means she'll put her progressive "living Constitution" stamp on the courts decisions for many years to come. This is perhaps one of the most, if not the most important reason in making the right choice when electing a president. Long after a president is no longer in office, his views and slant will be felt through his supreme appointments. When The Obama's first appointment, Sotomayor, was questioned about the Heller case on the gun ban in Washington, DC, she said she considered it settled law. Yet, when she was on the bench and voted on a similar case in Chicago, she sided against Heller and with the losing minority. This was a 5-4 decision which means the second amendment hangs in the balance by one vote. When Kagan was questioned on whether she believed in "natural rights", she dance around the question like Ginger Rodgers at her best. The most basic right of all is "life", for without it no other right matters. During the Clinton administration Kagan defended "partial birth" or "late term" abortions. These are nothing more than friendly terms for murder. When a pregnant women is murdered courts have held this to be "double" murders. Why is it when a a baby is manipulated so as to pull his legs out first then a suction tube is inserted into his skull to suck his brains out it is called "choice"? What "choice" did that life have? These are the types of people The Obama celebrates both on the court and on his staff. Coming to a circus near you, "BO and the Supremes", freak show extraordiaire!

There were two defeats for ObamaScare this week and we applaud both of them. First in Virginia, a federal judge refused to bend to The Obama administration pressure to dismiss Virginia's lawsuit that ObamaCare is unconstitutional. The judge agreed with VA on the merits of the case. The principle involved here is that Congress by extension of the commerce clause has overstepped it's authority in forcing citizens to engage in commerce. You cannot force an individual to purchase a product or service. You can regulate an economic transaction but you cannot force someone to engage in it to begin with. Missouri on Tuesday had a referendum on the ballot about this very same issue. Although polls had showed a slight majority against ObamaCare the actual voting was 71% against it. If ObamaCare were to stand there would be no limit to what the government would be able to do under the guise of the commerce clause. These two early victories in the war against socialism is very encouraging for Americans who value individual liberty over collective misery.

The Obama propaganda machine is in full stride. He keeps gallivanting across the country, with his tele-prompters in tow, touting his supposed saving of the economy. Someone should let him know that it's his policies that has kept the economy from rebounding. He keeps blaming president Bush and the Republicans for driving the economy into a ditch and says that now that the car is out of the ditch we need to put it into Drive not Reverse with Drive starting with a D for Democrat and Reverse starting with an R for Republican. How about Ditch starting with a D for Dumb A__ and how the economic Downturn began when the Democrats took over Congress in 2006, and Disastrous policies also starts with a D. If you want to play word games there are allot of words to describe the Destruction he has wrought in such a relatively short period of time.

Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) in a town hall meeting was confronted with a question concerning the constitutionality of ObamaCare. The question concerned the 13th amendment which prohibits slavery. The point was that to force a citizen into buying a service constitutes a form of slavery because it requires a service against one's will. Rep. Stark's response was essentially that the federal government can do anything. This feeling goes to the heart of the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Republicans believe in small government, individual rights and freedoms. Democrats believe in big government and by inference that equates to less freedom and individual liberty. Prior to our constitution there was the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta's importance in the history of governments is that it bestowed rights of the people collectively versus the government. Our U.S. Constitution's uniqueness and brilliance is that for the first time true power, liberty and freedom was established as individual rights. As our Declaration of Independence states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." These are individual rights, prior to governments and therefore supersede them. It goes on to say, "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." It is important to note the statement: That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it... It is in this statement that our true powers live. The power to abolish a government that becomes destructive of these ends. We are at the cusp of this destruction/transformation and have little time to change course. Whenever anyone tells you there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats, keep these words and our founding documents in mind. There is a world of difference!

Remember that Spendulus emergency spending bill passed early in 2009? The one absolutely needed to prevent unemployment from going over 8%. Didn't do much but run the deficit up as unemployment hovers around 10% with no end in sight. Interesting how it was so critical to get the nation working yet 50% of the almost one Trillion dollars has yet to be spent. It's a timing thing. Watch for Spendulus spending to spike around the elections, mid-terms now and presidential in 2012. After all, what good is pork if it can't buy you some votes. We can hear the squealing now and on until November.

Democrats are debating whether to extend the Bush tax cuts for the middle class but allow the top wage earners cuts to expire. This selective class envy thinking will only server to continue our economic malaise. The top 5% of wage earners are a major source of economic activity and job creation. It is economics 101 that increasing their taxes will only reduce that economic activity and reduce job creation. That is exactly the opposite of what we should be doing. If you want to help our economy, an across the board tax cut or tax moratorium would do the trick. In the meantime the uncertainty of the coming tax increase is a major detriment to our economic recovery.

The Obama is in beautiful downtown Detroit today to taught his "saving" of the auto industry. In reality it was his payback to the unions. Government Motors and Chrysler where bailed out to save union jobs. He will say that it was to save jobs in general but if that where true why did they coerce the car companies to close down all those dealerships? And why where almost exclusively Republican owned dealerships closed down? The White House and GM story misleads the public by saying that GM has paid back they're bailout cash. The facts are they paid back funds with other borrowed funds and jointly GM and Chrysler still owe over $50,000,000,000 (that's BILLION). The fact remains that the primary reason for the failure of these car companies is the pension and retirement packages that cannot be sustained. If you build a car with an overhead cost greater than you can sell it for, you are going to lose money and eventually go broke. That is of course unless you get a nice huge bailout from the taxpayers. If the model remains the same the outcome will surely not change. Bankruptcy and a complete restructuring resulting in slimed down productive companies without the shackles of the overblown retirement burden would have been the result.

The Arizona Law was working before it was even implemented. Illegal's in Arizona where leaving and ones thinking of entering where going elsewhere. Now that's about to change as a federal judge has just struck down major parts of the law. Basically the outcome is Arizona cannot protect it's territory and it's citizens with the police, the feds will do it. The problem is the feds haven't been doing it and have no plans to do so in the future. Illegal is illegal no matter how you slice it. Nothing else matters if the basic security of the citizenry cannot be protected. Border security and enforcement is essential for society to function in a peaceful manner. The issue of illegal's already in the country cannot be dealt with until the borders are secured. During this age of Islamic terrorism it is not just a matter of crop pickers looking for a better life, it's a matter of national security. Will it take a terrorist coming across the border and detonating a bomb in a crowd for this administration to see the light. That probably would still not do it as this administration continues to ignore the will of the people just like they did with ObamaCare.

Former Ways and Means Committee chairman Charlie Rangel (D-NY) doesn't follow the tax laws his own committee writes, Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner (D) didn't pay his taxes (oops - honest mistake), Senator John Kerry (D-MA) docks his $7,000,000 (that's million) yacht in Rhode Island to avoid Massachusetts taxes and the list goes on. It is the height of hypocrisy for these Democrat holier than though demagogues to preach about the rich not paying their fair share while at the same time doing their best not to pay their fair share. They preach the tired line that Republicans are the party of the rich while there are more Democrat millionaires in Congress than Republicans. We need to shine a light on this hypocrisy and encourage every American to do the best of their ability for the welfare of themselves and their families. Don't expect the government to do for you what you can and should be doing for yourself. It's time to get back to the individual responsibility and will that has made this country great.

As the country continues its ride into the abyss known as ObamaCare, England has seen the light. With the British economy in shambles they are now proposing decentralizing their state run health care system. By drastically changing their system they will save almost 50% of the current cost and put health decisions in the hands of physicians and their patients. This will mean a loss of many bureaucratic jobs in government but that will in turn continue the savings for years to come. Why is it that our government cannot see the inherent problems in the existing state run health care systems in the world? It doesn't take a brain surgeon but obviously it seems to take several Harvard grads and even then they're stupefied. It's like Albert Einstein once said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

The Looney left is feeding their disciples red meat by calling FOX News racist and playing their ever present race card with regards to the Shirley Sherrod case. It's true that FOX played a video that clearly showed MS. Sherrod was racist against a white farmer but that video was out of context with her whole speech. It was an honest mistake. She gave that speech at an NAACP meeting in March yet the NAACP also condemned her remarks. Why haven't they been held accountable for their mistake? The Obama administration fired Ms. Sherrod, why haven't they been held to the same standards? Regardless of the mistaken contextual issues here there is a more troubling issue with Ms. Sherrod's speech which is not getting much attention. In her speech when she explained why her prejudice against a white farmer was wrong. she emphasized the the struggle should not be between black and white but rather between the "haves and have not's". Where have we heard that before? It seems that it's OK to instill class and income envy but be careful with the race thing. Class envy is like a bunch of crabs trying to crawl out of a hole, they keep pulling each other down, the result being no one gets out, no one gets ahead. That's the foundation of socialism and communism. That false strive for equality in reality brings us to equaly shared misery. America was founded on equal opportunity, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Not Life, Liberty and the Equal Outcome of Misery, Mediocrity and Envy.

It's official, VP Joe Foot-in-Mouth Biden has proclaimed their legislative actions are over and now it's time for campaigning. He also calls Republicans "Wildly out of step". Since when have The Obama and his negative shadow ever stopped campaigning? Their failed leadership and destructive policies are a testament to their incompetence. The only thing this duo is good for is campaigning through their contrived pep rallies. Rallies that seem to get smaller all the time as more and more Americans become disillusioned due to their own personal struggles at the hands of the socialists. At the heart of this administrations failures is the fact that they never switched from campaigning to governing. They continued to alienate over half of the country with divisive rhetoric and corrupt closed door deal making. Let the campaigning begin, you can't sugar coat disaster, not the BP one but rather the Obama Biden one.

Some Democrats in congress are starting to see the light on the expiration of the Bush tax cuts. They're beginning to realize through pressure and economic realities that allowing the tax cuts to expire has the same effect on the economy as creating new taxes. At a time when the economy is ailing from the failed socialist policies of the left, raising taxes would be a huge burden and would further decrease economic growth. The uncertainty of whether these taxes would hit in January has been a big drag on the private sector. Not knowing what the playing field will be causes companies to cut back on planned expansion and to put off hiring. An interesting conundrum exists for the Democrats in this decision. They have blamed the Bush tax cuts for causing economic problems so how can they now say that to let those very same tax cuts expire would cause economic problems? In extending the cuts they would be admitting that tax cuts help the economy and therefore destroy one of their main tools for attaining their political power. This test will determine if the Democrats put their egos ahead of the welfare of the American economy and the American people. Timing of the November elections will help persuade the fence sitters to cave in.

In his own words from his book, "Dreams From My Father", The Obama wrote, "White Folk's Greed Runs a World in Need". Seems the post racial president is anything but. From his prejudiced reactions like the one during the incident with the black Harvard college professor and the white police officer to the current issue with the fired USDA official, Shirley Sherrod. His true feelings on race are evident in his associations, from Rev. Wright to Van Jones. You can tell allot about a person from the company he keeps and The Obama has kept the most radical, racist and anti-American company we have ever seen. How could someone that's so polarizing have been elected president? During the presidential campaign on 2008, the wool was pulled over the American people. The Obama ran as a moderate and the MSM conspired to conceal the truth behind the history and associations of the "post racial" candidate. The need to put race behind us has only served to intensify the race issue. This is primarily cause by the very people that were supposed to help us get beyond race because they are the ones that play the race card all the time. When that fails they pull out the class envy and rich trashing card. The have and have not's down racial lines. When you look at the president, it's not his words it's his prejudice that shines through.

Surrounded by the usual big government Democrat characters, The Obama signed the Finance Reform Bill into law. Turn another page in the ever increasing power of the state over the American people. The tentacles of the beast, like in a B horror flick, continue to engulf every facet of our lives. What's next? Wouldn't be surprised for this administration to use the BP disaster as an "opportunity" to go after oil companies in such a way that would give the government control over their operations. National Socialism is alive and well in Washington, DC c/o The Obama Administration.

The Obama keeps blaming Republicans for standing in the way of extending unemployment benefits. Benefits that are approaching two years long! He consistently politicizes and plays whatever card he feels best fits his immediate needs. It's either race, class or stereotype demonization. Republicans stand with the American people in attempting to stop the runaway federal spending binge. Republicans are not against a temporary extension as long as it does not add to the deficit. They want to use unspent "spendulus" funds or use the money from a spending cut. That is the responsible thing to do. You won't hear that from the presidents lips. He's always in campaign mode. Suing Arizona and blaming Republicans, this president has no shame.

Interesting how one of the first stops for Michelle Obama (MoBama) on their latest vacation was and ice cream parlor in Maine. What happened to "dessert is not a right?" Don't do as I do, do as I say! Telling us what to eat and when to eat it is just another intellectual pin-headed idea of government knows best gone amuck. It's like the Fat Czar being caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Government telling restaurants how much salt they can use when cooking and food producers to make their contents label more visible on packaging is only a intrusion and further encroachment into our freedom. Like people don't know by now that products have labels with contents are on the back. What's next, neon labels lit up by solar cells. Maybe that way they can force some of that green voodoo on us. If MoBama wants to indoctrinate her children with progressive socialist baloney, that's fine with us, but leave our kids alone.

The Obama said this week that, "My policies got us out of this mess" and that we can't return to the failed policies of the past. Someone should tell him that we're not out of the mess and that his policies have prolonged the recovery and continue to hinder job creation. Congress just passed a finance bill that does nothing to change the two main culprits in the financial problems we're going through, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. As far as the "failed policies of the past" that he keeps ranting about, is he referring to the Reagan and Bush tax cuts that created unparalleled job creation and prosperity? The only job growth during The Obama administration days has been public sector government growth which increases the burden on the private sector through extra taxes necessary to support the ever increasing size of the federal bureaucracy.

Our liberty has been slowly eroding since the Great Society of the FDR days, with The Obama, the changes are now on steroids. The new finance bill is just another nail in the coffin. It's incredible that with a straight face, one of the authors of the bill, Sen. Dodd says, "Congress does not regulate". Seems like we are being ruled by aliens that think we're incapable of reason. How can they be so ignorant. Enjoy you last days you fools of "change", as the tide of Liberty will soon sweep you from the landscape. Real change, back from the abyss, will be upon us come November.

The Finance Reform Bill, the latest monstrosity of this administration is almost set in stone. The 2,400 pages is just another step in the "transformation" of our country. The bill would create more than 20 "offices of minority and women inclusion" in the Treasury Department and other agencies. The offices would apply "fair employment tests" to banks and other financial institutions to insure minority and women have equal opportunities and will ensure more federal contracts go to these groups. This had not been a problem and did not contribute to the financial crisis in 2008. This is just the ever increasing hand of government putting undue burdens on the private sector in order to cure a wrong that is non-existent. The results of which will be more harm and obstacles on the road to that elusive recovery. It's hard to reach the finish line when the line keeps moving farther away, that's what this administrations policies are in essence doing.

Some say that White House spokesman Gibbs made a mistake by admitting that the DEM's could loose the House this Fall. That is very unlikely, this administration's propaganda machine is well oiled and most likely it was planned. The reason for the disclosure is to change the subject from The Obama's negative socialist policies toward a call to arms that DEM's are in trouble. They want to alert their base and fence sitters that it's about the Democrat party loosing. This strategy won't work because The Obama is the Democrat party. They are tied at the hip like a hammer and sickle. Their policies and errosion of our liberties and freedoms are the call to arms for all freedom loving Americans as the tide is rising against their conspiracy to "change" our way of life and destroy our future. Time to drain the swamp!

The National Association for the Advancement of (Liberal) Colored People (NAACP) is having their annual convention. This years target is to attempt to smear the Tea Partiers as racists. Interesting how there's no mention of "color" in the Tea Partiers principles but the NAACP has "colored" right in their name. How do you hide that? How about the National Association for the Advancement of the American People (NAAAP)? After all isn't that what Martin Luther King stood for? Or, the National Association for the Advancement of Bi-Polar-Transgendered-Albinos (NAABPTA). In any case it is about racism and hypocrisy, the NAACP's specialty. Michelle Obama spoke before the group yesterday and thanked the "founders" for her position and that of The Obama. Not the "founding fathers" but the founders of the NAACP. She also emphasized the need to increase the "intensity" in the black community to further pressure for wealth, education and job distribution. In order for the black community to live Martin Luther King's dream they need to move beyond the close minded special interest and racism of the NAACP. Live the dream via the equal opportunity and liberty that this great nation offers all its citizens. Look beyond color to the true minority, the individual. For it is in the liberty and freedom of the individual that the greatness of American lives.

The economy snow job campaign is in full force. No matter how many times the president and his cronies attempt to paint themselves as pro-business they still end up with egg on their face. Pretending to be pro-business while pushing anti-business socialist policies will no longer work. The American people have seen the economic stagnation that comes from these false promises and the penalties they impose on business. The largest tax increase in our history is about to hit an already desperate economy on January 1, 2011 and not a mention of this from the president or his administration. The solution is simple and begins in November. Defeat all politicians that are propagating this destruction of our free enterprise system via The Obama's "transformation" and cripple his administration until we can replace it.

Oh Jimmy, why must you ruin your brand. Blaming Bush for the BP oil spill? What were you smoking? We love your music so as Laura Ingraham says, "Shut up and sing". BP was in The Obama's pocket (or was that the other way around).   The biggest recipient of BP political contributions was your buddy The Obama. BP was even in the "green" energy movement, remember the "Beyond Petroleum" commercials? There's no excuse for the incompetence shown by your buddy as well as no excuse for the continued blame Bush bull. We'll probably have a hurricane hit the gulf coast this year, maybe then you can throw another benefit concert and blame Bush for that as well. Enough for now, have to get back to that "One Particular Harbour".

The Obama nominee to head the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) had not been brought up for confirmation because of his radical views. So the all knowing OZbama recess appointed him anyway. Dr. Donald Berwick said, "The decision is not whether or not we will ration care — the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open." Like The Obama he has said and strongly believes in "redistribution of wealth" and that it can be achieved via health care or in our case ObamaCare.   No surprises here, just another step on that road to serfdom. We're off to see the wizard...

Sue Arizona, attack Republicans, feed the MSM some red meat and viola, conversation changed. Isn't the federal government suing a state like a parent suing a child? The Arizona law mirrors federal law but it's not as stringent. Federal law doesn't require that an agent have another legal reason to question a person or ask for papers, the Arizona law does have this requirement. Maybe the federal government should sue itself. The Obama failure to properly respond to the BP oil spill disaster is so tragic that they are willing to talk about their other ongoing disaster, the economy. LOL!!!

After light was shed on this through the Washington Times, the Drudge Report site and others, the policy has now been changed. All around us we are being bombarded with political correctness and government control. This one was stopped but only because it was publicized. How many more are lurking in the wings?

Lunatics are running the asylum! NASA has scrapped the shuttle and decided not to fund a replacement vehicle. Instead we will be dependent on the Russians for our astronauts travel to the International Space Station (ISS). Doesn't make much sense giving up our superiority in this field but then again this administrations goal is to cut America down to size and "redistribute the wealth". Now we learn that the administrator of NASA, Charles Bolden, has stated that the Obama foremost charge for him was, "...to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering." Yep, you read that right. Since when is NASA's mission to reach out to the Muslim world? We have a better idea, let's build a Terrorist Space Jail (TSJ) and send all the GITMO detainees there. We wouldn't have to worry about them breaking out. We would just have to be make sure that the toilets don't face Mecca when they take a C__P. This would definitely help with our Muslim outreach.

This July 4th Holiday was a strong reminder of what we need to get back to. We give thanks for and celebrate our independence while at the same time chipping away at it with the policies being exposed and instigated by the current administration. It's about Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Life beginning in the womb, Liberty to make the right or wrong choices and face the consequences thereof, Pursuit of Happiness as an individual for his/her betterment and that of his/her family. We see our founding based on these principles as a limit to big government through a Constitution of negative rights that state what a government cannot do to us. Reserving any right not enumerated for the states and people. The socialist and liberals believe in what a government should do for us an in so doing they trample on the very principles that have made this country great. The time is fast approaching when this very difference will determine our future. We either continue down the dangerous path we're on or we turn back to the basics of smaller government and individual liberty. We can once again be the shining city on the hill, but only if we make the right choices now.

With a straight face, The Obama stated yesterday that our border is the most secure it's be in 20 years. WHAT? Is he on the same planet? If that obviously false statement were true, would we even be discussing the immigration issue or the Arizona Law? There wouldn't have been a need for the Arizona Law. The danger here is that he actually believes his own bull and that of those other intellectual pinheads around him. Reality is far removed from his beliefs as well as his disdain for the American people and the Tea Party. As Rush Limbaugh eloquently pointed out yesterday, the Statue of Liberty is about Liberty not immigration. If it were about immigration it would have been called the Statue of Immigration. We are not against immigration, we are against illegal immigration and that's the fundamental difference. If someone is here illegally, by definition they have broken the law, period, end of story. What's so difficult to understand about that?

When The Obama speaks, watch his lips, the words don't match the meaning. He will attempt again to explain the "crisis" surrounding immigration. How will he spin his administrations law suit against a sovereign state for passing a law which reinforces existing federal law? Whatever the spin, watch his lips. He will emphasize the "need" for "comprehensive" immigration reform. This is liberal/progressive speak for amnesty. Just like the failed socialist policies which The Obama is so fond of, this "comprehensive" immigration reform has been tried before and failed. The "Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986" was supposed to be the end all to this issue. Why are we at it again? The simple answer is lack of border security. A vast majority of Americans agree with that. We need a president that defends the sovereignty of ALL our states and security of ALL our citizens. Arizona is the tip of the iceberg that will come crashing down on the liberal lunacy around us.

After 70 days of the BP oil disaster, The Obama government has finally and reluctantly decided to accept help from 12 of the 30 countries that have offered assistance. What took so long? At every step of the way the government and it's myriad of agencies has hindered the states efforts to fight off the oil. Agencies working at cross purposes veto each other on a micro level and rely more on studies and "potential" harm than on the actual harm happening around them. It's about time but only a half measure. All available resources, both domestic and foreign should be put to bare in order to mitigate this tragedy. Lift the Jones Act across the board and allow the affected states to have control over defending their shores and people from further damage.

Yesterday the supreme court ruled to uphold the second amendment of our constitution. But it's just hanging on by a thread. A 5-4 decision ruled that a complete gun ban was un-constitutional federally as well as in individual states. Sotomayor stated in her confirmation hearings that she would have upheld the Heller decision which struck down Washington, DC's gun ban. Yesterday she made a mockery of those hearings by voting to uphold a ban and basically agreeing with the false belief that the second amendment does not constitute an "individual" right to gun ownership. This decision shows how precarious the constitution would be in the hands of the liberal inteligencia which are running and ruining our country right now. A single justice voting the other way would strike down the second amendment, and for that matter any other right that we hold as basic to our freedom and liberty which our founding fathers set forth.

As the worlds advanced economies turn away from their failed socialist entitlement systems we are heading the other way. Instead of learning from their mistakes, The Obama and Congress are intent on repeating their failures. Uncontrolled spending and expanding government at the expense of the private sector will lead to economic chaos. Increasing taxes at anytime hurts job creation and economic expansion. Raising taxes during a recession prolongs and deepens that recession. As government jobs are dependent on the private sector for funding, it is the simple truth that government expansion will hurt that of the private.   President George W. Bush inherited a recession in 2001 then had to face the economic downturn after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. We were able to come out of the economic troubles faced then by the tax cuts he was able to get through Congress. Those cuts, which resulted in 6 years of economic growth are set to expire in January of 2011. Although this Congress and president will not call it a tax increase, letting this cut expire will be just that. They will try to paint it as a tax cut for the "wealthy" when in reality it was a tax cut for the American people. This fact alone will keep businesses from taking risks and making investments that would increase their businesses and job production.

The basic difference between conservative vs. liberal, Republican vs. Democrat is as clear as night and day, black and white. The liberal/progressive answer to every problem is "government". The conservative answer is "freedom and less government". The emergency "Spendulus" bill of 2009 was supposed to save the economy and keep unemployment below 8%. Big government Keynesian failure once again. In order to correct or improve the jobs situation the big government crowd believes in more of the same. More of the same failure, the "Spendulus" wasn't big enough, they say.   That's like taking water out of one end of the pool and pouring into another and thinking the water level will rise. If it doesn't then use a bigger bucket. Unfortunately this thinking makes sense to the Obamaism lemmings. Don't look for any real "change" from this crowd for by doing so they would have to admit their beliefs are failures, it's not going to happen.

Another White House un-constitutional power grab. A 2,000 page bill hammered out by house and senate Democrats without a single Republican vote, so much for bipartisanship. The Financial Reform bill gives the government unprecedented power to monitor "private" transactions between individuals and their banks. It also gives the government the ability to take over or shut down banks if they are deemed to be in danger of "failing". The discretion of course is by the government itself. All of this smoke and mirrors is to stave off another financial crisis. Missing from the bill is the elephant in the room. Two entities at the heart of the housing and financial meltdown were Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, neither of which are part of this bill. We smell another rat on the way to that socialist tyranny awaiting us if we don't change course.

Government obstruction in the BP oil disaster cleanup continues unabated. The Jones Act is still in place while foreign ships and experts have been denied the assistance they have offered since day 1. Louisiana barges sucking oil up from their waters were stopped while the Coast Guard checked life jackets and ownership/manufacture of the barges (can't violate the Jones Act). After many weeks of denial, partial permission was granted for Louisiana to build sand berms to protect their barrier islands and keep the oil from reaching their marshes. Now those efforts have also been stopped because of possible damage to the environment. What about the oil? This is a classic example of liberal lunacy. In order to "possibly" prevent an environmental problem they ignore the "actual" environmental problem before their eyes. This same thinking goes to the heart of their destructive policies that are "transforming" our country into the socialist quagmire they seek.

War is hell and should only be entered into as a last resort. But when engaged, all means at your disposal should be on the line to achieve maximum destruction and capitulation. This is the only way to minimize both your casualties and collateral damage. A war cannot be won through politically correct armchair generals calls of restraint and rules of engagement (ROE) that put your military at increased risk. That's exactly what has been happening in Afghanistan. Our fearless spineless leadership has even come up with a medal for "restraint". That's right, if a soldier puts his life in danger by holding back on his defense and those of his fellow soldiers, he is rewarded. Through an enormous expense, the U.S. develops the most sophisticated weapon systems in the world to minimize collateral damage. Out enemies primary mission IS collateral damage. As a matter of fact it's not even collateral damage to them, it's their target. They blow up, buses, trains, restaurants, schools and office buildings. They also hide in houses amongst the citizenry because they know are weakness is our restraint. General McChrystal knows through experience the methods of victory in a war theatre like Iraq. The same surge strategy was to be used in Afghanistan but his request for the surge troops was delayed then only half of the requested amount was promised. The frustration within the ranks for the current ROE's and armchair general strategy has risen to a head. General McChrystal and his staff where the pressure valve and the released. Although General McChrystal's military future is in doubt, his actions and those of his staff have served to shed light on a winning strategy with a losing commitment.

Senator Jon Kyl has revealed the truth about The Obama's lack of border enforcement will. In a meeting with the president, the unguarded remark stated the reason for holding back on border security is to be able to get "comprehensive" immigration reform passed. This is an outrageous dereliction of the presidents duty to protect the American people. We are at war with an open back door for those who intend to destroy our way of life. As we know that "comprehensive" is code speak for amnesty, it appears the president is more interested in potential Democrat voters than our security. We believe there should not be amnesty period. By rewarding illegal entry into our country you will encourage more of it. This supposed one-time amnesty has been tried before, why are they even discussing it again? It's all about politics. Serious border enforecement is a matter of national security and should not be held for ransom.

Maj. Gen. Vallely has a very sensible solution for the our illegal immigration problem. His article, "War on the Southern Border", gives us a great historical background on the issues surrounding the area we know as the southwest. He believes, and we support his perspective, that we should be fighting the illegal immigration problem as if it were a war. He recommends we establish 3 Border Task Force Groups (BTFG's) with 5,000 troops in each. They would be positioned at three locations across the U.S. Mexico border. They would in essence form three operational military bases that would enforce our border. It's not only vegetable pickers and restaurant workers coming across our southern border. We have people from Muslim countries sneaking in that intend on taking their jihad to our cities. We are in a world war on Islamic terrorism, it's about time we defended our borders and fought back.

The irony of the looney left's "green" agenda. It's an old catch-22, they cripple the Golden Goose (capitalism) by penalizing success (over-taxation) and reward failure (bailouts-concessions to unions). It is capitalism with it's rewards that enable entrepreneurship and innovation. Past innovations have giving us the advances that enrich our everyday lives and provide for health care that is the envy of the world. This very same system is the one that will some day provide the new technologies that will wean us from fossil fuel dependence. But until then, fossil fuels are the most efficient form of energy we have. Reducing that energy source by moratoriums and banning new drilling will in effect slow the process towards our own energy independence.   Government cannot achieve their panacea by subsidizing failures. Unleash American creativity, remove the hurdles and see what happens.

Decisions by consensus, ruling by committee, reasons why Senator's don't make good presidents. Before our eyes, in real time, we are seeing why governance through committee has proven to be a failure every where it's tried. It is the central planning and lack of efficiency that dooms these methods. Communism uses it as a standard and we know how well that works. ObamaCare will use it as a standard, guess how that's going to work out. In the Gulf, the Barack-Petroleum disaster has been exacerbated by political correctness, committee's, commissions, bureaucracy and lack of leadership. Since the Jones Act has not been lifted, Louisiana started taking matters into their own hands by having barges suck on oil out of their waters. The Coast Guard sidelined the barges because they needed to verify the number of life jackets aboard, whether the fire extinguishers were adequate and they couldn't contact the builders of the barges. Meanwhile oil that would have been sucked up ended up on shore. Makes as much sense as doing an impact study on the affects of building sand berms to block the oil while watching the very same oil wash ashore. Failures of Obamaism right before our eyes.

The villainazation of BP continues unabated deflecting blame from the inaction of The Obama Administration. BP was in bed with The Obama through political contributions and support for his disastrous Cap-n-Trade bill. The president can't have it both ways. He claims to have been in control from day 1 but relegates responsibility to BP. He claims his administration is doing everything they can while not lifting the Jones Act that would have allowed foreign oil skimming experts and their ships to assist in the cleanup. How much oil would have been cleaned up if this help would have been accepted? Why are only BP temporary employees and prison workers being allowed to assist in the cleanup? All possible restrictions on Louisiana's response that the government could impose have been. The bigger the crisis the bigger the payoff for the environmental lobby and economy wrecking policies. The economic dominos in the Gulf are starting to fall. The incompetence of this administrations response in their scheme to capitalize on a tragedy will be their undoing.

As predicted, the focus of the Oval Office speech was not to let a "crisis go to waste". Rather than focusing on an all out assault on the disaster, the presidents mind was on his "transformation" of America. Moving towards a "green" economy (like Spain) is a failed approach that does nothing to help our economy now. Carter tried this with SYN fuels and it was a big bust. Ethanol has been counter productive and windmills are pie in the sky. Oil is the most economical fuel that runs our economy and our prosperity. We should be drilling in Anwar where it can be done safely with minimal disruption to the environment. When drilling offshore, we should be doing it at depths were disasters can be avoided. The drilling moratorium should be lifted immediately. It only hurts us as other countries such as Mexico, Cuba and China will still be drilling in the Gulf while we stand idly by.

6-16-2010
The Obama's Oval office speech tonight is as predictable as gravity. First comes the timing. He will fill the nation in on the BP oil disaster then meet BP executives at the White House on Wednesday, 58 days after the spill began. He will assure us that he's been in charge while at the same time blame BP. He will justify the oil drilling moratorium while at the same time tell us that we are still dependent on oil. He will state that they are doing everything possible to prevent another oil rig disaster in the future. Missing from his explanations and excuses will be the resources that have not been allowed to participate. Why has the Jones Act not been lifted? Why hasn't Louisiana Governor Jindal been allowed to build the defensive berms to defend their shores? All of this smoke and mirrors will be a prelude to the highlight of the speech, taking advantage of a "crisis" in order to pass a disaster of his own, cap-n-trade. A crippling economic carbon offset system that will cost jobs and further extend the recession, a recession that would have ended by now if it weren't for his socialist policies and out of control spending.

6-15-2010
As with other liberal and progressive policies, their well meant intentions are usually contradicted by reality and facts on the ground. To limit possible pollution to the shoreline they force oil drilling at dangerous depths. If the BP oil disaster would have happened in shallow waters, repairs would have been much easier and the spill would have been minimized. Now The Obama administration's drilling moratorium is hurting the very people they seek to help. It will cost jobs and further cripple the economy of the gulf states. Another by-product of the moratorium is the danger it poses for potential new accidents. Operational oil rigs are safer than ones which have their drilling suspended. Pressures and gases can build up which could lead to explosions and accidents like the one we are unfortunately experiencing now.

Artists from all over the world performed during the kick-off concert for the World Cup. Artists were introduced representing the country they where from. Columbian performer Juanes played a song, then an "American" artist, Jaime Luis Gomez (know by his stage name Taboo and as a member of the Black Eyed Peas) was introduced and performed a song with Juanes. At the end of his song, Taboo yelled out "Viva Mexico" and unfurled a Mexican flag that he had hidden under his shirt. Taboo was born in Boyle Heights, California and raised in Los Angeles. The World Cup brings out national pride by demonstrating one's love of his/her country in support of their team. Taboo disrespected the United States and all immigrants here legally, including Mexican's. If he loves Mexico so much we would gladly buy him a ticket to move and send him packing (as long as he stayed there).

The one supposedly "in-charge" of the BP oil spill response, The Obama, says they are doing everything they can. In a vacuum, you may fall for that nonsense, but experiencing what we have for the last 53 days of this disaster, it's just not believable. There's a pesky little fact that is starting to surface, it's called the Jones Act. Put simply, the Jones Act of 1920 requires vessels working in U.S. waters to be built in the U.S. and crewed by U.S. workers. During the aftermath of Katrina, President Bush gave an exception to the Jones Act so foreign vessels could help in the cleanup. The biggest oil spill of all time was during the "Gulf War". Saudi Oil Company Aramco’s clean up of a massive wartime spill off the coast of Kuwait in 1991 summoned every available ship to assist in the cleanup. 900,000 barrels of oil where recovered in roughly three months. Why aren't we allowing all possible resources to assist in the BP oil disaster. Even Louisiana volunteers are being kept from assisting. Could it be that the bigger the disaster the more leverage their environmental, anti-business, cap-and-trade and other far left policies will have?

Beware the coming auto-tax. Although the president and DEM's will no call it a tax increase, that's exactly what it's going to be. On January 1, 2011 the Bush tax cuts, which fueled our economic recovery after the 2000 recession he inherited will expire. Liberals/socialist/progressives call it a tax break for the rich. In reality it was a shot in the arm of the economy which led to 7 years of economic growth. It wasn't until the DEM's took control of Congress in 2006 that the economy starting tanking. Whatever you want to call it, the reality we'll be facing come January is going to be another setback for an already crippled economy. Uncontrolled federal spending will be the undoing of the greatest economic system in the world.

Yesterday was a great day for Republican women in their primaries for Novembers elections. Nikki Haley in South Carolina's Governors race, Sharron Angle in Nevada's Senate race will take on "Dirty" Harry, Carly Fiorina in California's Senate race will take on "call me senator" Boxer and Meg Whitman in California's Governors race will take on "moon beam" Brown. Democrat Arkansas Senator Lincoln won a squeaker in her primary race with the support of former President Clinton. She won by running away from her Congressional record. The story will be different in the November elections when she runs against a Republican and will be held accountable for her backing of The Obama administrations economy destroying policies. Across the board, November's elections are going to be the the biggest test ever for the American electorate. It will be about the future of our country. Will we continue the path towards socialism and failed policies of a European style nanny state or will we return to the basics of smaller government, lower taxes, more individual liberty and state control over their own economies.

The Obama claims to have been in charge since day 1 of the Gulf Oil Spill, if that's the case then he's been in charge of the greatest ecological disaster in our history. A train wreck in the making. We have seen on a day by day live basis the failure of bureaucratic red tape and central government control. Governor Jindal was begging for the fed's to allow Louisiana to dredge, and build sand berms on the barrier islands to help keep the oil from reaching the shores and marshes. It took over six weeks for the fed's to partially allow the building of the berms. While the fed's where conducting environmental impact studies, the oil wash washing ashore. Classic example of incompetence and ignorance. It's interesting that because of the environmental whacko crowd, of which this administration belongs, drilling is forced to depths of 5,000 feet. If the drilling was allowed closer to shore, in 200 feet of water, this accident could have been mitigated in the first few days instead of over 7 weeks and counting.

At a time when Middle East tensions are at a boiling point, her comments about that Jews should leave and go back to Poland or Germany are outrageous. Someone should tell Ms. Thomas that Jews have been there for thousands of years.

Israel's right to self defense is paramount in the current Gaza blockade incidents. Israeli solders where beaten when the boarded the first ship to challenge the blockade. Even though the beatings where caught on video, the world, including the White House, condemned Israel. More ships intent on breaking the blockade are heading that way. The object of those missions is not to bring aid to the Gaza people, it's to end the blockade so the terrorist group Hamas can rearm in order to continue their attacks on the Israeli population. Israel should use all resources at their disposal to uphold the blockade. If a violent confrontation is initiated by a rouge ship, it's sinking would be justified. We should be standing firmly behind Israel and not with those intent on Israel's destruction.

The president of the United States Minus One met Arizona Governor Jan Brewer yesterday. What happened to the joint news conference? The Obama has those with adversaries but can't manage one with a governor. The "it's-all-bout-me" president is true to his views. After all, he's always right (in his mind anyway). He disagrees with Arizona trying to defend their border because of the dereliction of the federal government. A porous border is like the BP oil leak in the gulf. Oil like immigration, when managed correctly can be a great resource, when uncontrolled it can lead to disaster!

The Obama is meeting with Arizona Governor Jan Brewer today. Just another photo op as no minds will be changed. The president already made his opinion known, as usual, before knowing the details of the issue at hand. Having not read the Arizona Anti-Illegal Immigration bill, he along with Justice head Holder and Homeland Security head Napolitano condemned the bill. The bill reinforces federal law which is being ignored. It also puts restraints on police officers that the federal law doesn't. In the Arizona bill a police officer must have a probable cause to ask for a suspects papers. This is done during a traffic stop or during the investigation of illegal activity. The federal law does not have that restraint in it. Therefore the Arizona law is stricter than the federal law against profiling. For the president and his leadership to go against this law means that they disagree with the federal law and will not enforce it. Not every illegal coming across the border is a Mexican looking for a job. Over 100 non Mexican's from places such as Yemen, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Sudan came across last year alone. That's 100 that where caught. With the successful interdiction rate being below 10% this translates to over 1,000 illegal's from countries known to be the source of terrorists entered this country last year. Where are they? Why are they here? We don't want the answer to be a successful terrorists attack in one of our cities. The border must be secured as a national security priority and any illegal now in country should be deported at the point of interdiction, our lives depend on it.

Fifty of the supposed "humanitarian peace activists" on the Turkish ship intercepted by Israeli commandos didn't have papers and refuse to give their names. They are suspected of being terrorist aligned with radical Islamic Jihad against the west. Who ambushed whom? The "activists" were prepared for the boarding of the ship by Israeli commando's. The commando's were armed with paint ball guns as they were beaten with pipes and bats.   A cash of tear gas masks and bullet proof vests were found on board. Are bullet proof vest humanitarian aid? The Turkish ship was asked to stop and not break the blockade, they refused. They were asked to redirect their course for an Israeli port where the aid could be delivered to Gaza, they refused. Israel's choice was to intercept the ship or have the resumption of arms flowing the the terrorist group Hamas. The Obama administration is siding with our enemies. Look around you, if you're surrounded by your enemies, it may be time to rethink your position. Even the U.N. Security Council condemned the commando boarding and deaths of 10 people. Where was the condemnation of North Korea when they torpedoed a South Korean ship and killed 46 people? The hypocrisy and double standard is deafening.

6-2-2010
Turkish "humanitarian" aid mission is attacked by Israel, so the story goes. In reality, Israeli commandos boarded a Turkish flagged ship breaking through the Gaza blockade. A blockade that was put in place to help keep arms from the terrorist Hamas government of Gaza. Israel provides humanitarian aid to Gaza and offered to transport any aid that was aboard the Turkish ship. What they can't allow is for the rearming of a terrorist entity that threatens Israeli cities and civilians. Video of the Israeli boarding shows the Israeli commandos being attacked and beaten with bats and pipes. The attackers where also wearing gas masks. How many "peace loving" aid workers arm themselves and attack commandos. This is not about aid, it's about further isolating Israel. The sad part of this exercise is that our own government has betrayed Israel and joined in the condemnation. We should stand with Israel as we share a common enemy.

What's worse, the incompetence of inaction in the face of disaster or taking responsibility for being "in control" during the incompetence? In the presidents first news conference in over a year he said, "my team was together on day one." Oh yeah, what were they doing, playing basketball? He kept blaming BP while at the same time saying that the fed's were in charge and all decisions go threw them. Where's the federal presence? There should be an all out assault on this disaster and it's not happening.

On the Sestak issue, it wasn't until the last question that a question on this bribe and cover-up was asked. The presidents response was that "his administration" was going to have a "response" soon. What was ignored was that White House counsel has already made a statement. They said they looked at the issue and didn't find any improprieties. This administration refuses to learn from history. Their socialist policies have been tried before and failed, a cover-up at the highest level of government has been tried before, and failed. As George Santayana said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

There's no excuse for this administration's response to the BP oil spill. In the first few days, when it was apparent that BP was not able to stop the spill, all federal and state resources should have been put to the task. Five weeks and possibly over 10 million gallons of oil spilled and the fed's are still dragging their feet. No approval yet for Governor Jindal and U.S. Senator Vitter's (R-LA) request for emergency approval of a dredging plan to build up the barrier islands. Their plan would help mitigate the damages. If the fed's aren't going to help then get out of the way. Let Louisiana do what they can to help save their state from this nightmare.

The Obama had a confrontational closed door meeting with Republican leadership on the border issue yesterday. He insisted that Republican's need to work with "me" on "comprehensive" immigration and he'll work with them on border security. The Me-Me president either doesn't understand or refuses to acknowledge that border security is a federal responsibility. It's his responsibility. It's not a lame attempt at border security in exchange for compromises on amnesty. The hidden agenda behind "comprehensive" reform is amnesty. Amnesty in exchange for increased border security has been tried before. If that process had worked then we wouldn't be talking about it now. Border security is a national security issue. It's not just Mexican's breaking our laws and entering illegally, it's many others as well, from countries such as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan and Yemen. Last year alone 41 illegal Pakistani's where apprehended, how many others slipped through?

Federal authorities in charge of the response to the BP oil spill are refusing to approve Louisiana's request to shore up their barrier islands. Both Governor Jindal and U.S. Senator Vitter (R-LA) have requested emergency approval of a dredging plan to build up the barrier islands to their pre-erosion state in order to help block and absorb some of the oil spill in the Gulf. There is no logical reason for the Fed's to be dragging their feet on this. Even without the spill it would be a good idea. The EPA has also requested that BP reduce amount of chemicals that have been used to disperse the oil and reduce spill damage. This too goes counter to the successful battle being undertaken to minimize this disaster.   Unfortunately the worse the disaster and damage the better for the environmental whacko movement. Just like liberalism, the outcome is is usually counter to the intention.

5-25-2010
Besides the incompetence of The Obama administration in dealing with the BP Gulf oil spill, there is another more sinister plot lurking. Taking advantage of a "crisis" that has fallen in their lap, the administration is relishing in the opportunity to cut back on domestic oil production in the name of preventing another catastrophe. Cutting back will grease the skids for their passage of Cap-N-Tax and their other "green" agenda items. Pushing technologies which are not yet viable would cause energy costs to spike and further hamper our struggling economy. Low income households would be hardest hit at the pumps since a larger percentage of their income goes to that expense. This would be the equivalent of a direct tax on the very people The Obama is transferring wealth to. Put someone else's money in their pockets with one hand and take it out with the other. Reality of socialist ignorance.

It is shameful for our president to sit idly by while a foreign president criticizes an American law. This shouldn't come as a surprise as The Obama himself criticizes America here and while traveling abroad. For Democrats in Congress to give Mexican president Calderon a standing ovation when he condemned The Arizona Law before a joint session of Congress is truly disgusting. Everyone of those fools should be sent packing in November, unfortunately they're not all up for re-election. A recent poll shows 84 percent of Americans agree that law enforcement should be allowed to ask for papers when, during a traffic stop or other law enforcement action, they suspect a person is here illegally. Like all the other socialist anti-American policies of this administration, and their accomplices in Congress, they are going against the will of the American people.

The president of Mexico, agreeing with The Obama, criticized the Arizona anti-illegal immigration law yesterday from the White House. We suggest he take his rude anti-American diatribe back to the Hell Hole he came from. If Mexico wasn't such a mess, both economically and socially, his people wouldn't be leaving in the first place. Just like The Obama, Elder and Napolitano, he probably hasn't read the Arizona Law either. It's always blame America first with this crowd. The Mexican president should work on cleaning up their own mess and stop encouraging illegal immigration. A good place to start would be to not hand out any more maps with instructions on how to break our laws.

The catch phrase of the day is "anti-incumbency mood". Even FOX News has fallen into this trap. The anti-incumbency theme is a White House and MSM cover for the what's really going on. It's about the American people wanting to take our country back from the precipice that uncontrolled spending and big government socialist policies are taking us. It's about stopping the spending binge, bailouts, give aways to organized labor and the erosion of our liberties. It's about getting back to the Constitution and our founding father's belief in limited government and the strength and character of the American citizen. Personal responsibility, entrepreneurship and not dependence on government programs is the path to securing our future. The Obama "transformation" needs to be thrown into the trash heap of history along with all the other failed tyrannical schemes.

Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, has now admitted that she too has not read the Arizona Law. Being is a position of leadership, as she and Holder are, and criticizing a law without first reading it is irresponsible at best. It's not a long bill, at under 20 pages it's less than 1 percent the size of the ObamaCare bill. The irony with "Big Sis" is that she was Governor of Arizona and while there she petitioned the federal government for help with the border and illegal immigration problems. Now she says the border is the best it's ever been. Illegal immigration cost Arizona $2.7 Billion in 2009 alone. Wonder what it would cost if Napolitano's border wasn't secure?

The Obama made an idiotic analogy that Republicans drove the "car" into the ditch and now that he's getting it out they want the keys back. "No" he said. I guess they can't have the keys back because he's busy driving the "car" off the cliff! Still blaming Bush, but let's take a look at when the spending binge started. Even though Bush inherited a recession in 2001, the terrorism of 911 and the war on terror, our economy was flourishing in the eighties. It wasn't until the Democrats took control of Congress in 2006 that the irresponsibility began. During the 2006 elections Pelosi and Reid were sent hiding to Siberia while the Democrats schemed to pull the wool over the voters eyes and pretended to be "middle" of the road. After they won, Pelosi and Reid claimed victory and a supposed mandate. They then proceeded to relentlessly attack the economy. This was at a time when we were winning the war on terror, we hadn't been attacked again and the only way they could win in 2008 was to turn the focus onto and economic crisis. It was a self fulfilling prophecy and the rest is history. The Democrats removed the brakes from the car and are now passengers in The Obama's one way ride over the Cliff.

The president and his attorney general seem to have a habit of jumping to conclusions, specially if those conclusions go against the American people. Attorney General Holder has been on many talk shows criticizing the Arizona Immigration Law. Even though the vast majority of Arizonians and American approve of the law and even want tougher laws to combat the illegal immigration problem.   Holder admitted in a congressional hearing this week that he hasn't read the law. It's les than 20 pages long and just reinforces Federal law. For the top law enforcement official in the country to criticize a law, without having first read it, is dereliction of duty and incompetence.

Following their game plan of taking advantage of a crisis or creating a crisis if one doesn't exist, here we go again. Because of the BP deep water oil platform accident, the administration will raise taxes on oil companies. This will in turn raise gas prices at the pump which will essentially have the same effect of raising taxes on anyone who uses gas. Lower income households would be disproportionally impacted. As with other liberal lamebrain ideas, their ideological, demagogueging attempt at pitting us against each other will hurt the very people they claim to want to help. They will no doubt also use this crisis to cram their Cap-N-Tax scheme through Congress. That bill will certainly cause prices of all goods to rise and serve to again hurt our economy and kill job creation. At every turn their policies are counter productive to turning our economy around.

With the national debt nearing 13 trillion dollars you would think that Congress would stop passing new spending bills, wrong. Looks like common sense and responsibility is no where in site in DC. The GOP needs to emphasize that they're the party of NO, no new spending. What is clearly needed is not only and end to the uncontrolled spending binge of this socialist Congress but also rolling back most of the recent spending. Repealing ObamaCare or defunding it should also be a priority if we are going to avoid the same fate that Greece is facing.

In another move to payback The Obama's union supporters, a 75 year precedent is being changed. To unionize a company over 50% of the employees of that company must vote for the unionization. If an employee didn't show up for the vote his absence was counted as a no vote. By not showing up he was casting a vote. With the new rule, 50% plus one of the actual voting employees could unionize a company. The problem with this coercion of the process is obvious. You could have a company where less than 10% show up for the vote and vote for the union. That small minority of employees would have the power to change a company to the detriment of those who chose not to get involved. The rights of those who choose not to be involved with unions, for whatever reasons they have, will have been negated. This is just another and in a long list of "transformation" policies which continue our path towards a socialist nightmare.

As we become more big government run and more of our citizens become serfs of the state we too will be going down the same path that Greece has gone down. An ever increasing dependence on government programs through welfare disguised as entitlements disguised as rights will eventually crash our economy. Who will bail us out? The current Greece bailout which was slapped together this weekend will only delay the inevitable because the fundamental causes of the insolvency are still in place. Socialist welfare states are doomed to economic disaster as their systems are the cause. You cannot penalize the productive side of an economy through confiscatory taxes and regulations an expect it to grow. As well, you cannot reward complacency and dependence an expect it to decrease. Human nature is predictable and the end of this cycle is unavoidable unless the basic fundamental structures are transformed. A transformation into a productive capitalist system is the only remedy for this failed system The current socialist transformation, which The Obama is bringing down on us, will lead to our "Greece" event in the not to distant future unless we drastically change course soon.

"Information becomes a distraction, a diversion..." so said The Obama at his latest commencement speech. He was complaining of all the sources of information, iPOD's, iPAD's, XBOX's, the Internet and media. Liberals, socialist, Marxists and tyrants all limit and control "information". They do believe in free speech, as long as that speech agrees with them. Given enough power they would shut down or control all forms of information. Newspapers, radio, TV, and Internet. This is not conjecture this is factual as can be seen in Utopia's like North Korea, Cuba, China and Venezuela. Conservatives believe in freedom and liberty. The more information the better, we're not afraid of facts and logic. You can't believe everything you read, see or hear no matter what the source. You should strive to get as much information on any subject of interest as possible and from different sources. Then apply logic and common sense to it. Strip away emotion and prejudice and you will find, like John Adam's said, "facts are stubborn things".

Last night on Anderson "Poopers" Cooper's 360 CNN program the issue of The Obama's eligibility to be president was brought to prime time. Active duty Lt. Colonel Terry Lakin is being court martialed for refusing to redeploy due to his challenge of The Obama not meeting the constitutional requirements of eligibility to be president. Even though Cooper was very rude and kept interrupting the fact is the show helped get the word out about the unanswered questions surrounding this issue. Cooper falsely claimed that The Obama's birth certificate was already displayed. This is a blatant lie as only a forged copy of his "Certification of Live Birth" was briefly displayed on the Internet as proof of his being born in Hawaii but then it was taken down when it was shown to be a fake. It was a computer generated forgery with a font that was not yet developed in 1961 when The Obama was born. In 1961 real certificates were created with type writers. It also identified his father as being "African" when actual certificates from that period used the word "Black". Some people claim that since a newspaper announcement of his birth was printed at that time that's also evidence but this can be easily discredited since those announcements are placed automatically when a request for a "Certification of Live Birth" was made. The Obama himself was asked his nationality when running for the senate and responded by saying that he wasn't running for president so he didn't have to be a "natural born citizen". Michelle Obama in a 2008 speech (watch it here) says they visited Barack's "home" country Kenya. Why would anyone spend over two million dollars on lawyers to keep his birth certificate and college records concealed? The Constitution is not a smorgasbord from which we pick and choose which sections and articles to comply with, in this case, that's what's being done. Whether you believe this is an important issue or not, it's not going away until it is settled, one way or another. The longer that takes the harder it's going to be for everyone as we continue to be pitted against each other through class and racial lines by an administration seeking to divide and conquer.

Homeland Security, Justice and The Obama Administration keep patting each other on the back for foiling the times square bomber. What foiled the times square bomber and the Christmas day "panty" bomber was sheer luck. In both cases if the bombs would have gone off would they be congratulating each other? Success by luck is no success at all. During the Bush years we didn't hear of these "successes" because they were thwarted before the the attempted bombing actually took place. The Bush administration was focused on the war, this administration is focused on the crime. In both the times square and Christmas day incidents their first reaction was to treat the terrorists as lone deranged players. Only after the facts come out are the officials dragged into admitting the obvious. I guess the Cum-Ba-Ya love thy Islamic terrorist policy is not working as planned.

The BP deep water oil platform explosion was a terrible accident that will soon become a timely "crisis" for Cap-N-Trade. Little mentioned were the eleven platform workers who lost their lives in the explosion. Great emphasis has been placed on the "potential" ecological and economic disaster to the area affected. Built-in safety measures including automatic and manual emergency shutoff valves failed when the accident happened. Regardless of this mechanical failure, BP should be held completely responsible for the damages and cleanup costs. Nature has incredible power to clean up and absorb the oil that has and continues to spill. In 2005 during Hurricane's Rita and Katrina 157 oil platforms where destroyed along with 457 pipelines. Almost 800 million gallons of oil were spilled. How much did you hear about that spill and the ecological "disaster"? No much because the media and liberals were busy blaming the Bush administration for their response in New Orleans. The Gulf of Mexico's natural forces did an incredible job of dissipating and absorbing the spilled oil. Oil is a natural substance which seeps into our oceans continuously. It's part of our natural world. The issue that we're going to be facing on the political front is federal regulations and a moratorium on exploration which will put upwards pressure on oil prices and further increase our dependence on foreign oil. This in turn will give Cap-N-Trade proponents an excuse to cram yet another big government job killing program down our throats.

Speaking off the cuff, like The Obama did while giving a town hall speech on his "regulatory reform" bill, is when his true principles come out. He stated his belief that there's a time when someone has made "enough" money. Who decides when a person has made enough money? Maybe the presidents "pay" Czar? He also said that people can continue to make money if their producing a valuable product or service. Does he believe the government should decide what a "valuable" product or service should be? These statements along with his actions show why the socialism lable is used so often when speaking of The Obama and this administration. Taking over car companies, financial institutions, student loans are just a few of the examples of his "transformation". Facts are stubborn things.

The suspect in the attempted SUV bombing in Times Square was pulled off a United Emirates plane after the plane had started taxiing. Great work was done to be able to find and arrest him before he was able to flee the country. Turns out he fits the "profile" of other terrorists, he is a 30 year old naturalized Pakistani. The problem in this case is that he is a U.S. citizen. How much information can be gathered when he has all the protections afforded by our legal system? If he had not been a citizen he would probably have been dealt with in the same manner. The current administration and justice department do not seem to differentiate as they seek to treat terrorists like simple criminals. This is a war not a bank robbery. Since the current terrorist suspect is married and has children all necessary pressure should be brought to bear to get whatever information can be obtained to help prevent the next attempted bombing.

The Obama is quick to jump to conclusions when a situation meets his twisted world view and prejudicial domestic biases. As he sided with the Boston professor and chided the police officer he has also sided with illegal's and chided Arizona's governor and citizens. Since 1940 non-citizens have been required to carry papers to prove their immigration status, the Arizona law just restates that Federal requirement. Even though 70% of the American people agree with the Arizona law, this administration sides with illegal's. It's all about the votes, votes that would be coming to The Obama and his socialist accomplices once they pass their amnesty bill. Regardless of the name they put on it, "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" will mean, "We need these illegal's to be legal for our political survival". To paraphrase an old saying, "fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us."

After four votes on the supposed financial reform bill in which it seemed like the Republicans in the Senate were developing a backbone, they turned back into jelly. Once again snatching defeat from the jaws of victory! When you have your enemy on the run you don't let them regroup, assimilate and "transfugate ". We need to remember that the road they're on has the "ends justifying the means". They will lie, as they have, and manipulate. When you have them backed into a corner letting them out signals your surrender. Wall Street Banks gave 53 to 60% of their political contributions to Democrats. Almost one million dollars going to The Obama from Goldman Sachs alone. This bill is but another vehicle for the "transformation", in this case, a government control of of financial institutions with possible political corruption and pressure in the mix.

The SWAT team is called out to protect The Obama from those menacing old ladies at the Tea Party demonstration. The MSM goes along with this and pushes the hot button issues of "the fringe group" and "astro-turf". Meanwhile back at the farm truly violent protestors are throwing rocks at police and breaking through police lines protesting Arizona's new law. The MSM of course sides with the protestors as does The Obama administration and the DEM's. How many illegal's where in those crowds? With the Mexican government warning it's people to stay away from Arizona it seems that the new law is having it's desired effects on illegal's even before it's implemented. As polls show, and common sense dictates, the majority of Arizona's citizens and American citizens agree with and support he Arizona law. Once again this administration and their political hacks are on the wrong side. They keep stoking the flames of racial and class hatred. But as the Tea Party is just the pressure valve for the once "silent majority", the "silence" will soon be defening.

Former Arizona governor and current Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano used to ask for help with border security. Now she states that the border is the most secure it's ever been. She also sells snow balls to Eskimos. What a bunch of dribble. If this administration spent half the time defending American citizens that they do defending illegal aliens they may get something accomplish. They don't see illegal's, they see potential voters that will keep their transformation of our country rolling. A transformation away from our founding fathers intent and towards Marx's intent. A socialist/communist utopian lala land. In the wake would be our freedom and liberty. November 2012 can't come fast enough.

Intimidating Arizona with boycotts by San Francisco and other liberal bastions will backfire. Trying to penalize a state for upholding immigration laws and protecting its citizens is ludicrous and a dangerous action. Perhaps Arizona should deport illegal's to San Francisco and Blinky Pelosi can entertain them? Let's see how many freedom loving Americans change their plans to visit San Francisco and instead spend their money in the beautiful state of Arizona. We need to support Arizona with not just our words but also with our actions.

The Obama and his political hacks are mobilizing their minions in opposition to Arizona's quest to protect its citizens. This administration creates "crisis" in order to pass their "transformation" policies. In the case of Arizona, a real crisis exists while the administration sides with the perpetrators. Standing with the illegal's and against the people of Arizona is exactly what the president and DEM's in Congress are doing. Playing the race card at the expense of law abiding American citizens is despicable. The racism is squarely on the side of The Obama administration. To continue to condone illegal immigration is to relegate those illegal's to mistreatment and abuse. We should be standing squarely behind Arizona's willingness to do what the federal government has failed to, defend their sovereign state from a foreign invader.

California Senator Dianne Feinstein said she had thousands of emails on ObamaCare and 85% of them were against it. She was puzzled why, after all the debate and information, the American people didn't "get it". The blind ignorance by these liberals is astonishing. The point is the socialists don't get it. Their not listening because they don't want to hear. They seem to have forgotten that they work for the people and not the other way around. These progressive-liberal-socialists-Marxists are going to make the same mistake with the immigration issue. Americans are fed up with illegal's entering this country and the federal governments refusal to clamp down on the border crossings. The political play is to get legal immigrants to vote for Democrats this Fall. By ignoring the vast majority of American citizens, the Dem's will again cement the seeds of their own destruction.

Arizona is correct in enforcing immigration laws which the federal government has so far failed to. Before any meaningful immigration reform can be adopted the borders must be protected and enforced. It is the federal governments primary roll to protect its citizens, that cannot be accomplished with our current porous border. Once the border is enforced systematic changes must be taken into account in order to deport any illegal's found in the United States. Coming into the country illegally doesn't give one the right to stay here. They must have to return to their native country and go throw the normal processes in place for entry. Criminals coming across our borders are terrorizing American citizens and bankrupting the states into which they have placed and undue burden. Granting amnesty to the illegal's would just be rewarding their illegal acts and guaranteeing the Democrat party 12 to 20 million new votes. Dependence on an ever increasing socialist federal bureaucracy would accelerate the economic disaster we are headed towards.

Let's imagine a scenario where you have three religions, two of which allow for conversion to the others or leaving altogether. The third calls for your death if you convert away from theirs. What religion comes to mind when thinking of this scenario? There's a reason for this obvious answer and it's because history has shown this scenario to be true. We are dealing with a religion which threatens and carries out assassinations on cartoonists for depicting their prophet Mohammed in a cartoon. They lie and obfuscate when confronted and will do anything to paint an image of a peace loving belief which has been shown time and time again to be false. It is difficult to deal reasonably with a religion which is unreasonable. Beware and watch your backs.

The financial reform bill being pushed by The Obama is the latest in a string of steps to solidify government control over all aspects on the American system. Giving a panel of bureaucrats the power to decided when a financial firm is failing and thereby take that firm over would be a disaster. In a perfect world this would create chaos but in this political world with these particular political players involved it would be insane. Firms could theoretically be taken over for their political leanings. If a firm donates to a political candidate who opposes the administration, could government pressure force them into submission? Would the threat of a government takeover of their business make a firm follow the government line and thereby do the governments bidding? Pressure and regulations from congress is what lead to the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac manipulation of the mortgage market which precipitated the economic disaster we are still living through now. Do we want more of the same manipulation? Fine tuning common sense regulations is one thing, giving the government tyrannical powers as are being proposed would cripple our once free enterprise system.

On Friday we lost a great American and Cuban patriot. Dr. Claudio F. Benedi. He escaped Castro's communist revolution in the early sixties with his family having to split up in 3 groups to get out of Cuba. Settling in northern Virginia he dedicated his life to his family, his church (where he was a Catholic Deacon for over 34 years) and fighting the scourge of communism. The Human Rights Commission in the Organization of American States (OAS) was formed because of the communist government of Cuba. Dr. Benedi along with Dr. Guillermo Martinez Marques where the first presenters of that commission on which they outlined the intrinsic human rights violations being perpetrated on the Cuban people. He was a member, since its foundation, of the Cuban Patriotic Council, an umbrella group of Cuban patriots that are dedicated to restoring freedom and liberty to that once prosperous and free nation. He was also president of the Coalition for the Restoration of the 1940 Constitution.

Dr. Benedi wrote, "Human Rights: The Theme of Our Times". A book in which he describes in detail the meaning behind his "Benedi Doctrine". The Benedi Doctrine explains the institutional violations of human rights in communist systems. In short it points out that if a country's constitution states that the government has the "right" to violate your God given human rights then a violation has already taken place.

He leaves behind many loving family and friends. We are hurt by the reality of not having him with us any longer but yet reassured in the faith which he instilled in all of us.

Goodbye father, may you rest in peace...

“I would like to thank the respected human rights activist, Dr. Claudio Benedi, for his dedication and pioneering work in denouncing and documenting the Institutional Violation of Human rights.”–Ronald Reagan.

“In a thoughtful and powerful fashion, Dr. Benedi has documented the systematic violation of human rights and has encouraged the international community to oppose these assaults of human freedom and dignity. We owe him a great debt.”–George Bush

Growing up in a era of American exceptionalism in our quest to land on the moon was very inspiring. Through the challenge of that journey many advances in technology and materials were accomplished. We landed on the moon in 1969 with the Apollo missions on the back of the great Saturn rockets. In 1979 I was fortunate enough to work at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral as an engineer on the ground support mainframes during the Shuttle development phase. Witnessing the 3rd Shuttle test launch (STS-3) was an emotional and proud moment.   Through the years the Shuttle program has proven to be a great success and again showed American technological superiority in space. No other country has come close to this accomplishment. Today we are abandoning this great system and furthering our dependence on foreign countries. When the Shuttle is retired our astronauts will have to "hitch hike" on the Russian Soyuz rocket at a cost of 56 million dollars per ride. This price will surely rise as the Soyuz monopoly in this area will be guaranteed. It is foolish to abandon this program without another American one to take its place. There are many areas where wasteful spending can be eliminated, this is not one of them. Our capabilities in the sciences will decline through the years as those young dreamers no longer will have these missions to inspire and drive them.

First time jobless claims for the week of April 10 surged up to 484,000. It boils down to simple economics 101, which this administration and Congress obviously failed. When you raise taxes you reduce money available for private sector economic activity. This administration keeps pushing policies that do just that. The government takes in 3 dollars for every 5 dollars it spends. You don't need a calculator to realize that this spending cannot continue. The most troubling aspect of this past years ObamaCare debate and passage is that this new massive entitlement program will make things worse, much worse. We need to be fixing existing entitlements which are bankrupting the nation instead of adding new ones. Curtail new spending, repeal ObamaCare or defund it and reduce taxes. Only through this approach can a catastrophe be avoided.

The number one nuclear terrorist threat in the world is the possibility of a Iran becoming a nuclear power. They are the top terrorist supporter and exporter in the world. Blatantly stating that they will wipe Israel off the face of the map, how safe do you think the world would be when they have nukes? Creating a moral equivalency between Democracy, Israel and a radical Islamic Theocracy, Iran is not just comparing apples to oranges it is dangerous. We are going down the same road with Iran that we did with Iraq, incremental toothless sanctions. The end game is a nuclear Iran or a preemptive strike. Neither would be easy but the longer we wait the more damage will ensue. Take the bitter pill today before it's to late.

The National "Appeasement" Summit is in full force with The Obama bowing to Chinese President Hu Jintao. It looks like a competition between which facet of this administrations policies can be more radical, domestic with ObamaCare or foreign with nuclear disarmament. It's like a poker player having four aces in his hand and letting his opponents know when he'll fold. Why doesn't this administration just lower the American flag at the White House and raise the white flag of surrender. We surrender to the Islamic Radicals, can't use that term anymore for it may offend the Muslims. Why don't those peaceful Muslims step forward? War is ugly and we're in one. We should fight it with every tool at our disposal and in the most ruthless way as possible. Developing pin-point accurate weapon systems to minimize collateral damage has not changed our enemies desire to destroy us. Our policy should be simple, if you attack us we will annihilate you, period. If a country attacks, we exert extreme punishment. If a terrorist attacks, we take out his cell, his tribe, his family, friends, animals (including his pet rock) and his caves. If they don't like it, tough. Playing nice hasn't got us very far. Only the threat of total destruction will change the outcome.

Sarah Palin correctly pointed out that it's a mistake to let our enemies know under what circumstances we would use nuclear weapons. The Obama did not respond to the substance of the statement but rather attacked Palin. Socialist can't argue with the facts, they have to attack the messenger. The appeaser-in-chief joked that Palin isn't exactly as nuclear expert. Palin shot back that the president must have gained his nuclear expertise from his days as a community organizer or as a part time senator. The Obama responded that he has experts that advise him. That's where are concerns lay. This president has surrounded himself with the most radical advisers and Czars in American history. Can we trust admitted Marxists to correctly counsel our president?

Quitting after selling out his anti-abortion supporters and the American people by corralling his "black-n-blue" dogs in support of ObamaCare. With our deficit going through the roof and causing untold destruction to our economy, his complicity on passing another entitlement program will go down in history as a traitorous act.

Besides the 18 states (so far) that have filed suit to stop ObamaCare, more trouble is at hand. The "give-me" mindset that government dependence fosters is manifesting itself in doctors offices and insurance offices across the country. The administration and congressional snow-job has people believing that now that ObamaCare has passed, their health care will be taken care of by the federal government. The accounting gimmick of starting the taxing now but not implementing the bulk of the program until 2014 has many serfs complaining. The big government welfare state that was scaled back with welfare reform in the 90's is back.   It's amazing how socialists refuse to learn from histories mistakes, bound to repeat the same failures. It's even more troubling that an uninformed electorate could have fallen for a snake oil salesman.

More political correctness folly as The Obama team plans to remove terms such as "Islamic Radicalism" from a document outlining the National Security Strategy. Maybe if we treat the terrorists nice and give them cookies they'll stop trying to blow us up. Our nuclear strategy has kept us safe for over sixty years, now this out of touch administration has changed it. Not only by taking the option off the table, for many situations, but also by entering into treaties that leave us vulnerable. Reduction of our nuclear weapon deterrent while Russia and China have numerical advantages in conventional weapons is counter productive and can lead to weakening of our defensive posture. This administration is so radical in its policies, both domestic and foreign, that repairing the damage, if possible, will take years or possibly decades.

The Obama continues to downplay and make fun of critics if his ObamaCare bill. He says it's like a farmer planting seeds and having the press look at the field the next day and say, "no crops, we're going to starve."   We think a better analogy would be when a hurricane is coming. You know what the destructive power of a massive storm can be. If you're in the path it's just a matter of time before you get slammed and have to deal with the "change" it brings. If you have enough common sense, you would get out of the way and seek shelter. That's what people are doing now, trying to seek shelter because the destruction is coming. Unlike hurricanes, this health-care disaster could have been avoided.

Joe the Plumber part II. This time in the form of a question to The Obama during his latest ObamaCare snow-job pep-rally. A simple question by a woman named Doris, relating to whether it's wise to add new taxes at a time when the economy is in terrible shape, she stated, "We are over-taxed as it is". The answer came in the form of a 17 minute diatribe of irrational justification. It seems that socialist are incapable of understanding a simple concern about over-taxation. This was not a "wealthy" person who Progressives believe should be racked over the coals for their success. It was a middle class American citizen saying enough already. The mindset that refuses to see this simple fact that the government is out of control with their spending and taxing, will also fail to fix the problem. They'll only continue to compound it. It's time to clean house.

The endless campaigning for an already passed bill continues. The Obama's ObamaCare pep rallies and Republican bashing are wearing thing. ObamaCare was sold as a remedy for a health care system in crisis. If that were the case then why doesn't the supposed "benefits" of ObamaCare start taking place until three years from now? It's about redistribution of wealth and power. Tyrannical unconstitutional power. Government can regulate commerce but it cannot force you into participating in it. Under ObamaCare if you do not purchase health insurance you will be penalized and possibly jailed. So much for liberty and freedom. Meanwhile Putin is in Venezuela selling arms to a sworn enemy of the United States, Chavez. And so it goes...

For decades we have been moving further away from our founding fathers principles. They were religious men who understood the basis of our rights. Our Declaration of Independence states: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." They further understood the role of government with respect to those rights: "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." As we continue to remove GOD from our schools, our public gatherings and our lives the void left behind will continue to be filled with an evil Godless entity that will slowly eat away at our collective soul. Take time this Easter to thank our founding fathers for their vision and redirect our focus on that Theo-centric Society they envisioned.

April Fools! One could only wish, for the country's sake, that this president would step aside and save us from his destructive policies. Instead all we get is the same continuous socialist drumbeat. Like a bad zombie movie, another one bites the dust. Expanded off-shore drilling was approved by the previous Congress, this president and current environmental whacko Congress has, up to now, blocked it. The president now wants to open up some new leases off-shore, while at the same time closing some in Alaska. On it's face it's a positive step, albeit full of restrictions and regulations that will hamper successful drilling operations. Most likely what we're actually seeing is a slight of hand move to sneak in his EPA C02 regulations under the radar. Further Cap-N-Tax schemes can't be far down the road as a president that can approve off-shore drilling can't be labeled and environmental whack job, or can he?

Citizens believing in our basic principles of liberty and individual rights are the antithesis of The Obama's belief in big government. Attack and discredit your detractors is a basic game plan of this community organizers transformation agenda. At every step of this governments usurpation of the private sector comes loss of jobs. Real jobs that will be partially replaced with government bureaucratic enforcement jobs. Jobs such as at the IRS that will further tighten the noose around liberty's throat.

They shared a photo op, the President gave his opening remarks then they spoke to the press together afterwards. When Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House last week he was forced to use a side entrance. No photo-op was was made available, as is protocol for heads of state visits. No joint statements and no press conference. The Obama even left Netanyahu in the midst of their "conversation" so he could dine with his family, not inviting the prime minister to join them. According to The Obama White House this was not a snub. News flash from the White House, "Water is not wet". We have fools, dangerous fools at the helm of government. Stretching the hand of friendship to our enemies and shunning our allies only serves to guarantee your defeat. Israel has made many concessions in the quest for peace only to be taken advantage of at every step. The only democracy in the middle east and our strongest ally there deserves nothing less than our full support. Through strength and unity peace could be attained, but only with Israel's security as the highest priority.

Contrary to requests by Congressional Republicans and and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, The Obama has recess appointed Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Mr. Becker failed to win Senate approval in his February Congressional hearing due to his radical pro-union views and his relationship with the AFL-CIO and SEIU unions. At a time when our economy is in need of private sector growth to improve job creation this appointment will effect the further negative influences on that growth.   At issue is a contentious legislation know as "Card Check". Pro union advocates want to do away with the secret ballot in union elections and elections to approve unionization of companies workforce. Doing away with the secret ballot will allow for the intimidation that is common place in union shops to grow like a virus.   Companies will suffer, our economy will suffer and the very employees which the unions pretend to want to help will receive the brunt of the damage. Creating more unemployment and more government dependents would be the end result. Perhaps that's the goal to begin with.

Progressive playbook in plain site: Take advantage of or create a crisis. Mobilize all the propaganda at your disposal and use the puppet MSM to back you up. Make whatever deals are necessary to meet your goals or "ends", after all, the means don't matter. Once accomplished, change the subject by demonizing you opponents, change the subject! Doesn't matter if your opponents are the vast majority of American citizens. They'll come around when we make them slaves to the nanny state. At this point it would be time to go after the opposition's means of communications, let's blow up some threats and paint them as racist hatemonger's. Fairness, equal-time, local content, these are the means by which we will silence the majority because they don't really understand that we know what's best for them. The Constitution, oh it's just a guide... Stay tuned!

Well, well, seems comrade Castro approves of ObamaCare, hailing it as a Miracle for The Obama and an implied victory for communism. How do you feel now Progressive sellouts? It must give you a warm and fuzzy feeling to finally be on the same team with the likes of Castro and Chavez. Wonder which side our founding fathers would have been on? Castro destroyed Cuba's health care system over 50 years ago, his only complaint about Washington was, what took you so long to come around? Enema's on the house or is that the state? If ObamaCare is such a great thing, why is The Obama still trying to sell it to the American people, it's already the law, you dim wit! The owner of Chavez's only remaining critical TV station was arrested yesterday. Seems criticism is not to be tolerated by your comrades. Castro has enslaved his citizens, silenced and imprisoned his critics for over 50 years. Better get that FCC thing going before more people realize what you are doing to our country.   Can't have too many more people catching on, now that you're so close to your Utopian society of miserable miscreants, sucking at the tit on the belly of the beast.

Progressing-towards-Communism-Progressives are all for freedom of speech, as long as that speech agrees with them. When it doesn't, they attack the messenger and silence the message at every opportunity. An example occurred this week when conservative writer and speaker, Ann Coulter, was invited to speak in Ottawa. Although this took place in Canada, similar cases take place in American universities regularly. Ironically Ann was to give a speech on "freedom of speech". She was warned in advance by a letter disseminated by the University of Ottawa's provost, Francois A. Houle, that hate speech directed towards an identifiable group could possibly bring about criminal charges. This helped to fan the flames of the already ignorant student body. The protestors of free speech surrounded the hall in which Ann was to appear and due to security concerns her speech was canceled. Just last month, Angela Davis, Communist Party member and former Black Panther spoke at the University. Ann suggested that perhaps if she were to give a speech in a Burka she would be protected. Makes sense to us. Freedom of speech, as long as it's critical to American ideals and institutions is fine with the intellectual pin heads in our government and educational-indoctrination centers. Be prepared for another manufactured crisis over the anger expressed towards Congress for their sellout of our Constitution. The Obama remedy will be to put the FCC back in high gear towards silencing conservative talk radio.

Joe (Reverse-Shadow) Biden, the gift that keeps on giving. During the White House pep-rally ObamaCare signing party, just after he introduced The Obama he said, "This is a big F_____G Deal". It's all about the deal's, the victory and the American people are the recipients of the abuse. We've been politically raped by an over reaching political machine that cannot take no for an answer. This abuse of power cannot stand. One way or another, whether it's through repeal, defunding or constitutional challenges, ObamaCare must be struck down. Nothing less than our liberty is at stake.   Forcing the American people to buy a product, regardless of what that product is, is unconstitutional. Penalizing a citizen for not buying the "required" product, is by extension also unconstitutional. Price controls will only lead to rationing, shortages and death panels. Penalize success by overtaxing the tax payers and you get less of it. Reward mediocrity and failure and you'll be doomed to it.

Now to stack the elections. Amnesty for over 12 million illegal's will take a high priority while the Democrat Socialist machine is in high gear.   With their "free" health care in place, 12 million new Democrat votes are all but assured. Maybe that's why they ignored the will of the vast majority of the American people. ObamaCare also nationalizes the student loan program, what does that have to do with health care? As we proceed down the socialist transformation path, it shouldn't be long before the oil companies will be targeted on behalf of the "people". Since spineless Democrats have now been shown for the pansies they really are, they cannot be depended on to do anything but go along with their own demise and that of the American way of life.

Where are the liberal pro-abortion / pro-choice bleeding-hearts when it comes to health care choice? They fight for the right to chose the termination of human life in the womb, contrary to a mothers basic instinct. But when it comes to the freedom to chose your own health care and make your own health care decisions, they give that "choice" to the government. The supposed anti-abortion Democrat voting block lead by "stupid" Stupak Kaved along with Kucinich to the Kremlin, or is that the White House, it's hard to tell them apart these days. Yesterday the House pushed us further down the socialist road. With that we lost some freedom. Benjamin Franklin's words could be applied to this monstrosity, "People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both".

The moment of truth is at hand. Will the Democrat party cease to be today? Democracy is about the will of the majority. A true Democracy is "two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner". Our founding fathers knew that and laid the ground work for our liberty through a Representative Republic. Those laws are enshrined in our Constitution. In this case the majority of Americans are against the disastrous ObamaCare legislation while a minority in Congress (Republicans) are "Representing" the American will. What the founding fathers did not take into account was the treachery that a mischievous "progressive-socialist" majority could circumvent the will of the people with trickery disguised as "rules".

Full speed ahead regardless of the consequences to our Republic is the aim of this administration and Congress. Taking over the car industry, financial institutions, mandating through the EPA regulations that they couldn't pass in Congress, creating commissions by executive order that they couldn't pass through Congress and the list goes on. ObamaCare is the vehicle by which they ride our future off the cliff. Deny care to our seasoned citizens, make dependents of the citizenry and bankrupt the nation. All in the name of "transformation". We are transforming but not into that utopian world the Stupid Frogs amongst us believe. We are on the way to a soft tyranny that will change our way of life forever. Unless this runaway train can be derailed, history will be but a memory of a once great nation, that shining city on a hill. Mans best hope for humanity is being dismantled stone by stone and tossed aside. The time will come though that the American people will rise up to this nightmare and restore this great country to it's rightful place. Freedom and liberty enshrined in our Constitution and our inalienable God given rights will in the end prevail.

We needed a sanity break after watching the narcissist-in-chief squirm and continuously put his palm out in FOX News Bret Baier's face.   Bret deserves a medal for the best interview with The Obama to date. He was not intimidated by the smooth talking hypocritical Marxist before him. Brett stated factual issues of which the the prez banked off of and delivered his prepared slimy anti American talking points. This is about the Constitution and our liberty. This president shrugs it of as if they know what's best for our country. It's not that they know what's best, it's that they know how to destroy the American way of life. Whether we survive this or not depends on every American with a sense of courage and conviction and the fundamental beliefs we share to stand up. Stand up for our GOD given rights enshrined in our Constitution. Wake up, we will not let this soft talking Snake-Oil-Salesman sell our country! In GOD We Trust!

Yesterday we were hit with a "denial of service" attack. Could it be we're striking a nerve? Progressive, liberal, socialist, communists believe in "choice" as long as it's their choice. They can't accept opinions contrary to their beliefs because doing so would destroy those beliefs. Their ignorance is to be protected through force and intimidation. That's the danger we face today, it's not about right and wrong, it's about domination. We are all born with inalienable rights granted from GOD, not from governments. These right are enshrined in our constitution and provide for equal opportunity. Progressive, liberal, socialist, communists believe in equal outcomes. With equal outcomes you get equal misery.

Tyrants don't play by the rules, they create their own. When you can't achieve your "change" through the process, laws and rules in place, bypass them. It's all about the "ends". This is not hypothetical it's reality. Let's look at a few examples:
The House passes Cap & Trade legislation but the Senate, not having the votes to pass, does not bring it up for a vote.
The Obama's EPA classifies C02 as a pollutant on their way to implementing Cap & Trade through Executive mandates and regulations.
Internet Regulation does not have the votes to pass either the House or Senate.
The Obama's FCC is working on regulations that would apply to the Internet.
The presidents request for the creation of a debt commission fails to pass the Senate.
The Obama creates a debt commission by executive order and appoints the head of SEIU, Andy Stern, to that commission.
ObamaCare runs into a road block when Scott Brown wins a senate seat in Massachusetts taking away the Democrat filibuster proof majority of 60 votes.
A trail of broken knee caps and secret backroom deals are leading the way to passage via reconciliation and a parliamentary trick ironically known as the "self-executing rule". This House rule could pass ObamaCare without actually having a direct vote on the bill.
This is not the America we grew up in. Transformation in progressive tyranny...

Joy rides on Air Force One, Federal Judgeships for relatives, pork for their districts and on, and on, and on. Apparently there are no limits to what happens behind closed doors in the darkest of Democrat "meetings". Perhaps they are water-boarding the fence sitters? After all, in the mindset of the current administration and their socialist cronies in Congress, the ends justify the means. They're hell bent on trampling the Constitution, going against the will of the American people and bankrupting the nation. This is an intentional plot to destroy our way of life and economy in order bring about the "transformation of America" that The Obama promised. It's not that they are ignorant of the consequences of their actions and policies, it's that they are meant to accomplish what they will not be able to in the coming elections. Cement this catastrophic "change" now while they still have the power to do so. Do it in such a way that over turning it would be next to impossible and you have changed the landscape. Sell your soul to the devil and soon you will get your just rewards.

It's not about health care, it's about government and power. If the actual purpose of ObamaCare was to "fix" the American health care system, first you would have to assume that it's broken, it is not. There areas that need to be looked at for improvement but you do not tear down the best health care system in the world in order to improve it. The underlying issue is to chip away at individual freedoms with a sledge hammer. The rush to ram an unpopular bill down our throats is not about the dire need for change now, if it was, then why wouldn't take effect until 2013? This whole charade is about taking advantage of the Democrat majorities in order to enact a broad reaching socialist government health care monstrosity which would cripple our health care providers ability to provide their services at a fair price. Jobs in the private sector would be lost in exchange for new bureaucratic agencies that would top load the overseeing of health care in this country. You cannot cover more people, reduce cost and provide better care at the same time, it is mathematically impossible. What this "change" would do is make the American people more dependent on the federal government and on those than hand out largesse. Reduced innovation, senior "end of life consultations" instead of care and long wait times for life saving procedures would be the norm.   A utopian nightmare brought to you by this mentally challenged administration.

Congresswoman Luise Slaughter (D-NY), as Chair of the Rules Committee, has the power to grant "waivers" to legislation. She is considering is a process by which the Senate ObamaCare bill could be "deemed" as "having passed" if a "fix-it" bill is passed in the house. The assumption is that if the House passes a ObamaCare "fix-it" bill then the ObamaCare bill is accepted as having passed. It's a sneaky and unconstitutional way of giving members who are not now supporting the Senate bill in the house a cover. It is the "Slaughter Option". We would call it the Slaughtering the Constitution option. This process, if used, cannot be taken lightly. It would be the most grievous challenge to the Constitution in our lifetime and a step towards tyranny. The fact that the MSM is not covering this and that we're even talking about it at all is alarming enough. Inform yourself, your family and your neighbors. We will not allow the basic laws that protect our freedom to be trampled on by these power hungry socialist elites.

The height of arrogance and stupidity was on display again, this time courtesy of the "house" queen bee. Speaker "blinky" Pelosi, speaking of ObamaCare said, "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it". Trust us we know what's best for you, like an Ostrich, just doesn't fly. With an overwhelming majority of Democrats in the House there shouldn't be problem passing this legislative nightmare. The Democrat leadership is at war with their own party and the American people. We need a job killing government take over of of health care like a Slug needs salt. What happened to focusing on jobs?

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:

Senator Reid may not be in a position in 2011 to lead on reforming Senate filibuster rules. He first must get re-elected and that is looking too good and then his party must win a majority in the Senate and even that is looking too good either. The Democrats have no public relations sense. Why would you even be advancing curtailing of debate, when you control the presidency, and both houses of Congress with high majorities. What more do you want? The Democrats have it all and they still cannot get anything done. The problem is NOT with Republicans it is with Democrats who refuse to join fellow Democrats in “lock step”. To run on a platform that contains a further silencing on the minority is a flawed strategy and doomed to fail. For Harry Reid to even suggest it shows how completely and utterly out of touch he is from political reality. This will only seek to rally Republicans and outrage conservative Democrats and Independents.

The Obama administration is refusing any more public input on a federal strategy which could, by executive order, lead to prohibiting U.S. citizens from fishing the nation's oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters. The Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force has not issued their final report but the writing's on the wall. All in the name of conservation, with environmental wacko input from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). When it comes to policy, this radical administration always falls on the side of the extremist. Affects to the American people are commonly downplayed and sacrificed in the face of these socialist big government schemes. In case after case from the snail darter to the two-faced-Washington-moron this administration and their liberal-progressive-communist dupes turn their backs on the true welfare of the American people. Freedom is a word seldom heard from the lips of fools.

Dem talking heads are insisting that since reconciliation has been used before it is appropriate to use now. Let's take a look at the two major examples they give. It was used in the 90's with a Republican Congress and Democrat president to pass Welfare reform. That bill reduced government spending and was supported by the American people. It was also used during the recession early in the Bush administration to pass tax cuts. Those cuts helped spur the economy out of recession, brought an increase of tax revenue to the federal government and was supported by the American people. In this case, a Democrat controlled Congress with a Democrat president crafted a Democrat only behind closed doors takeover of our health care system. One sixth of our economy with thousand of pages of red tape, hoops, hurdles and loop holes. It is strongly disapproved of by the American people. There's a BIG difference between these examples, if only The Obama followers could take their blinders off, they would too realize this. They claim that health care is a right. The founding fathers also needed health care but they did not include it in the Constitution. If it was a right they would have done so. ObamaCare would also go against the Constitution as it would force people to buy health insurance and penalize those that don't. If it were a right you wouldn't have to force it on anyone!

Only in the empty vessel in a galaxy far, far away (a liberal brain) can losing 36,000 jobs be good news! Apparently that's what the Democrat leader of the Senate, Harry (dimwit) Reid believes as he said, "today is a BIG day in America, only 36,00 people lost their jobs" on the Senate floor yesterday. (click here to view video). This is the same mindset that when a budget is increased but by a smaller amount than they want, it's called a cut. Go figure, an increase can be a cut but a loss of jobs can be a gain. Do you really want to trust these people to run your health care system? Broke government run systems like, the U.S. Postal service, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are sure examples of what a costly failure this would be. Not only for our health care, but also for our economy.

How many Communists does it take to change a light bulb? How many Marxists do you have to surround yourself with before people realize who you are? From Jeremiah Wright to Van Jones to Anita Dunn and now Andy Stern. Stern is the head of SEIU and one of the most frequent visitors to the White House. The Obama just named Stern to the "Deficit Commission". After all, when looking at deficit reduction we need to protect the "workers party", or is that the "national peoples party"? It's getting hard to keep all these commies straight. Wake up America, before it's too late. Once freedom is lost, it's very difficult to regain. We have a shining example of that 90 miles from our shores as the "people" of Cuba have been enslaved by the "peoples revolution" since 1959!

It's about FREEDOM! The whole ObamaCare issue as well as the focus of policies of this administration and Congress is the chipping away of our freedoms through an ever increasing dependence on the nanny state. The more power and control the government gains the less freedoms we enjoy. As Glenn Beck correctly points out, Progressive means to progress or move towards something. In the case of these progressive politicians it means moving towards Communism or National Socialism which are both at the far left end of the political spectrum. This march to our demise must be stopped and the American people are on their way to do so. This November will bring a sea change in the makeup of this runaway Congress. The question is, how much damage will be done between now and then?

Preparations for the ObamaCare end game are falling into place. Although the American people have rejected this health care takeover, The Obama continues to push it through. A couple of Republican suggested solutions to parts of the health care issue have been patched into the new plan for cover. Putting a couple of band aids on a monster does not change the monster. Stop wasting our time on this takeover. We cannot afford it and even in good economic times it would still be a mistake for government to take over our health care system. The other government controlled systems, social security, Medicare and Medicaid are already going bankrupt. Why not fix those? Cut waste and spend the cuts on paying down the debt not on creating more of it.

Three cheers for Senator Jim Bunning , Kentucky Republican. He is holdinng up an extension to the currently already extended benefit period for fiscal reasons. It's not that he's against the extension, the reason is that it's not paid for. The cost of 10 Billion Dollars is just added to the already overblown deficit. The president has talked up his normal spiel about deficit spending yet he's never seen a spending bill he didn't like. While in the U.S. Senate, The Obama was ranked the number one liberal on his voting record, even more so than socialist senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont. Even though the Congress passed "Pay-Go", a pay-as-you-go gimmick, they can't derail their spending machine. Statistics show that most people on unemployment find jobs around the time the benefits end or shortly thereafter. In this case, with the economy as bad as it is, the employment possibilities are much diminished. More dependence on government is what this administration and liberal Congress want.

GDP unexpectedly rose to an annual rate of 5.9%. This can be misleading as the rise can mostly be attributed to companies replenishing their diminished stocks. In light of the weak economy, American industry chose to minimize the stock on hand, these have now need to be replaced. First time unemployment applications rose sharply this past month as employers continue to lay people off. Uncertainly in the future economy, regulations, new taxes, cap-n-trade as well as a potential government health care takeover are all contributing to the so called, "jobless recovery". Instead of the political side show that was the health care summit, congress should be concentrating on helping American businesses by reducing red tape and cutting taxes. This is the only way to cure the economy with meaningful private sector support.

Yesterday's side-show health care summit was a pre-determined setup. It was a modern day Little Big Horn. After many utterances of "we agree" and "there's common ground here" there was no doubt that a show of gridlock was on display. A display that will give The Obama and his socialist cronies the excuse they wanted for ramming ObamaCare through via reconciliation. The "ends" were not in doubt. The tell tale sign of this was The Obama's remark that they have the "means" to get this passed even if the Republicans don't come on board. In other words, you either agree with them or get out of the way. What happened to "focus of JOBS"? Why wasn't this a jobs summit? Government entitlements, Medicare and Medicaid, are fraught with fraud, do we really need another one? November can't come soon enough!

The premier of Newfoundland, Danny Williams, had heart surgery in Florida this month. When asked why he left Canada for the surgery he said, "This is my heart, it's my health, it's my choice." Situations like this are not new. Many foreign leaders and people with means have been coming to the United States for medical care for years. Opting not to use their own state run socialist health care systems out of knowledge of its inferiority to that of our system. With abundant examples such as this one, long wait times and lack of doctors in their countries why would we want to emulate that failure? It's all about control and government expansion. Sometimes government works best when it does nothing at all. No health care changes would be far better than the monstrosity that ObamaCare would thrust upon the American people. Republicans should demand, as a precondition to the dog-n-pony show tomorrow, that ObamaCare will not be rammed down our throats through reconciliation. Either start from scratch or abandon this disaster in the making.

The trap is set and bait is now in place. The White House will announce today that as part of their "compromise" ObamaCare bill they will put in place regulations to limit increases in insurance premiums. This "bait" was not in either house or senate bill. A compromise is usually accomplished with another party or an adversary, this "compromise" is between Democrats. They're going to compromise with themselves. Isn't that special. The televised "health care" discussion with between the president, his surrogates and Republicans on Thursday is now coming into sharper focus. A ruse all along, the pieces are in place. If the Republicans refuse to attend, they will be smeared as not willing to work on a health care solution. If they come they will be joined at the hip with the insurance companies willing to raise your premiums. The end result will be ObamaCare lite with changes to be made later to finalize the socialist health care takeover.   Republicans should refuse to be taken as patsies, turn down the dog-n-pony show and let the president make a fool of himself once more. The American people are against ObamaCare and shouldn't be tricked into supporting it.

The "White House" health care bill (alias ObamaCare) is a supposed compromise between the Senate ObamaCare bill and the House ObamaCare bill (all Democrat, all nonsense). What the Congress couldn't accomplish in committee, the White House will cram through, in their last minute effort to push ObamaCare down our throats. This is being done as a slap in the face of the American people and the Republican leadership ahead of the dog-n-pony health care debate show scheduled for February 25th. A trap in the making is upon us. Republicans should see this for what it is and boycott the event. Regardless of how the rules are laid out for this event, when there's a president in the room, the deck is stacked. Don't play the propaganda game with a propaganda master or you will surely lose.

What a president says, carries allot of weight. Unintended consequences can be very destructive. Last year The Obama criticized people who go to Las Vegas and spend money they may not have. Las Vegas, like other cities dependent on tourist dollars, was already reeling from the economic downturn. His statement acerbated the problem and hurt the very people he claims to want to help. Low income workers lost jobs directly as a result of his words. You would think he would have learned from this mistake but like his other basic socialist faults, he couldn't help but repeat the same mistake last week. He again criticized spending money in Vegas, this will again cause more hardship for its citizens. With Democrat Senate majority Leader Reid in danger of losing his coming election, The Obama is in Vegas to support him. Watch his words, "just words", as they fall on deaf ears.

Political correctness is destructive enough in our everyday lives but when it enters the battlefield, it becomes deadly. PC led to terrorist murders of our soldiers at Fort Hood at hands of known Islamic radical Major Hasan. It has now been seen on the front lines in the battle to oust the Taliban from Afghanistan. Consider this true life scenario; Our Marines receive enemy sniper fire from a house on the outskirts of a village. They can see the firing coming from the house but cannot see the militants, they have to hold their fire. As they inch closer the firing stops and unarmed "militants" are seen exiting the house, the Marines have to hold their fire due to the Rules of Engagement (ROE). The ROE state that they cannot fire unless they see the militants with the weapons. The assumed Taliban militants just fade away into the streets to fight another day. Not only did we announce ahead of time when the operation in south eastern Afghanistan was going to take place but even after it started we are still defeating ourselves. Our enemies know our ROE and use them against us as they laugh all the way back to the hell holes they come from.

Biden giving credit to The Obama for a "great accomplishment" in Iraq flies in the face of history and facts. Drawing down our forces in Iraq is a direct result of the success of the Bush-Cheney administration's execution of the war. Both Biden and The Obama would have set a withdrawal date for our troops and refused to back the surge. If Biden's opinion would have been policy we would have lost the war and the Iraqi people would have lost their freedom. You can't change history. Vice President Cheney is correct in his belief that the president is inviting an attack. Weakness in response and preparation for terror attacks facilitates and emboldens our enemies. Reaching out a simpleminded olive branch to a foe who wishes to cut your head off is an exercise in futility. Only through strength and the willingness to use it will our enemies be deterred.

With the incredible winter weather we've experienced this year and the unquestionable evidence of falsified "global warming" stats, do we really need a new government agency to "study" climate change? We don't think so but that's what The Obama administration is doing. More wasteful spending, more government growth, more bureaucracy to "study" global warming, climate change or what most people would call WEATHER. Nothing can be more natural than weather, it fluctuates from year to year and has been cooling the last 10 years. What is it about facts that liberals refuse to accept?

After a rare bipartisan "jobs" bill agreement was reached, Senate Democrat leader Reid pulled the bait-n-switch. You can argue that the jobs bill was a wrongheaded approach to begin with, but to substitute a Democrat bill in it's place is dirty politics. It's basically a political setup. Cost is down from the original bill from $85 Billion to $15 Billion. If Republicans vote against it, Dem's will blame the failure on them. This is a glimpse of what a resurrected ObamaCare debate would be. Republicans would be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory if they fall for any health care negotiations that do not scrap the current bills.

More lines in the sand, more sanctions: The U.S. Treasury Department announced Wednesday it is freezing the assets of Revolutionary Guard General Rostam Qasemi and four subsidiaries of a construction company he oversees for the military. Yeah, that'll teach them! And if they cross this line we may even complain to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (used to be "Global Warming" but to many people caught on) for all the hot air coming out of I-am-a-did-a-job's mouth. We must find a way to fully support the freedom seeking Iranian people in their quest for liberty from their theocratic dictatorship, under which they are enslaved. A change in the government of Iran is the only way in which a preemptive strike on it's nuclear facilities can be avoided. A necessary attack that is becoming more certain everyday and would cause considerable economic hardships for a struggling world economy.

So much for focusing on "jobs". The president is full speed ahead with his ObamaCare fiasco. Ignorant to what the American people are saying through elections and polls about his health care takeover, he can't help but continue down this dead end street. The latest tactic is to pretend to want to hear Republican ideas on health care. Those ideas are not new, they've been available all along, common sense private sector driven improvements. His proposal for televised health care discussions with Republicans is nothing more than a dog-n-pony show to resurrect the failed ObamaCare bills. His Democrats in complete and filibuster proof control of Congress couldn't pass this monstrosity. Republicans playing along with this PR gag would be a big mistake. Health care reform should be shelved while Congress and the president concentrate on cutting wasteful spending and taxes to improve the atmosphere for creation of "real" jobs.

With the radical Islamic leadership of Iran making more threats against the west in their continued pursuit of nuclear weapons, the time has come to back the alternative. We should strongly support the freedom aspiring Iranians who will again take to the streets in two days (Thursday 2-11-2010). Ayatollah Khamenei has threatened a "punch" against the "west" on the 11th. Protestors are also organizing demonstrations against their radical government on the same day, it's also the anniversary of their 1979 revolution which overthrew the Sha. Their test launching of ballistic missiles, continued enrichment of Uranium and threats against Israel and us, make this the right time to take action. Drawing yet another line in the sand will do nothing for our security and will only postpone the day of reckoning with an even stronger and more dangerous foe.

If you look forward to the Super Bowl, the last thing you want to see in the pre-game show is another Obama propaganda interview. But that's what we got, a softball Katie Couric piece. The president committing to continuing the ObamaCare pursuit and saying he wants Republican input. That input has been there all along but completely shut out by The Obama and the liberal leadership in Congress. He also stated that job creation has been his priority in the first year. That statement couldn't be any farther from the truth. His priority has been growing government, spending and secret backroom deals to buy votes for his socialist policies. Instead of listening to the American people and reassessing his positions, he continues his destructive ways. So much for "change".

In a landmark UN Climate Change Panel report from 2007 it was claimed that over half the Netherlands were under sea level. The Dutch government has asked the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to explain this mistake. According to Dutch authorities, only 26 percent of the country is below sea level. Looks like this is just another in a long list of facts that the Global Warming "authorities" cooked to fit their gloom and doom scenario. The false claim of over half of the Netherlands being under water was apparently reached by adding the actual 26 percent to 29 percent that is prone to "river" flooding. This along with the IPCC admitting false claims that the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 are but two more dominoes falling on the Global Warming hysteria. A hysteria intended to falsely penalize the United States and other industrialized nations for the sake of the socialists global redistribution of wealth scheme. This news along with the "Global Warming Blizzard of 2010" may help to cool this hysteria down a bit, one could only hope.

Minding my own business I was confronted by a elderly gentleman. He opined that we are becoming like Russia. I responded that the people in charge of our government today were taking us towards socialism. His response was that he is disappointed with Obama but "SOCIALISM " was a term "Republicans" were throwing around. I said, "that's what you call people pushing socialist policies." He used the same old liberal tactic by "ASKING", "I guess that means you think Bush should've been president?" I said, "yes I do!" He said, "then the conversation is over." My response was, "yes it is, I have to continue working anyway." He simmered for a while then started up again, I reminded him that he ended the conversation.   Die hard leftists will overlook the destruction being orchestrated against our country because of their hatred of the Bush years, perhaps that's why The Obama continues to blame Bush for everything. Small minded liberals can't or won't see the truth if it bit them in the ass (that's a Donkey).

When The Obama presidential campaign manager David Plouffe was brought back into prominence at the White House, the writing was on the wall. While many Democrats, during this election year, were probably hoping for some moderation of Obama's radical policies, the opposite is in store. Plouffe "encourages" to not only stay the coarse but increase the pressure. Out of Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals", of which Obama is a student, and Marx's Communist Manifesto comes "the ends justify the means". The "ends" is what The Obama "change" and "Transformation" is all about. Democrats in danger of losing their elections because of their support for this radical agenda deserve to be tossed out. If they can't stand up for their constituents freedom and best interest during non-election cycles then their meaningless show of care now is nothing more than empty rhetoric. These hypocritical politicians deserve to join the growing number of unemployed that owe their unemployment to this administrations socialist/progressive policies.

Yesterday in a New Hampshire town hall meeting The Obama said, "You don't go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don't blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college." The Vegas economy depends on visitors, his irresponsible statements will cost Vegas jobs. Last time we checked, people pay their own way when they go to Vegas. Where was the presidents criticism of the millions of tax payer dollars spent on the junket to Copenhagen for the bogus "Climate Change" meeting? He also said, "When times are tough, you tighten your belts."   What planet is he from? His socialist budget is out of control, his policies push huge federal deficits and wrong headed "Spendulus" bills that do nothing for the economy but harm private sector growth. He obviously is not listening to the American people or learning from the results of elections in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts. If he had his way he would continue his "transformation" of America into what would surely be a failed socialist state. The American people will not let that happen!

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has given the United Nations preliminary approval of their Small Arms Treaty. She informed them that The Obama administration intends to negotiate a deal on the treaty. The UN Small Arms Treaty would impose international regulations and a registry on small arms. If this administration signs on and the Senate approves it, the treaty would supersede our Second Amendment individual right to keep and bear arms. This would just be another step in ceding our sovereignty to an International Government and a further reduction of our influence worldwide. The American People will not stand for this intrusion into our liberty. George Washington once said, "Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' liberty's teeth." The last line of defense against tyranny, if necessary, will save us from going over the brink. Our founding fathers knew this and specifically intended the second amendment for that reason.

The Obama and his team manage to find $20 Billion in cuts out of a $3.8 Trillion budget. The cuts are primarily in eliminating "redundant" programs. That's bureaucracy for you. Government programs grow like weeds in an unmanaged lot. Left alone they fester and grow out of control. Just like socialism grows and feeds its ever increasing hunger for control. At the expense of freedom we loose our liberty. The choices are simple, let's start making the right ones.

You are like the company you keep. Osama Bin Laden has joined the likes of Obama and O'Algore. They all agree on the "settled" science of Global Warming. The Obama said so in his State-of-Disunion speech. Osama blames the United States just like Obama and O'Algore. Osama knows that forcing the United States into capitulation to the third world would cripple our economy and weaken our defenses. You would think that The Obama and O'Algore would know that also. Perhaps they're so invested in it, politically and economically that they just can't turn back. Regardless of the reason, strange bed fellows do these environmental whackos make.

Although over $500 Billion of the Spendulus bill has yet to be spent, the president and his accomplices are pushing a new one, this time calling it a "jobs" bill. He can't and will never understand why his policies are the antithesis of economic growth. Job creation requires freedom. His socialist policies destroy freedom. Government can create government jobs but to do so requires taking from the private sector. You eventually get to the point where the private sector cannot support the growth in government and at that point the house of cards comes tumbling down. His State-of-Disunion speech Wednesday he said he was optimistic in the future of "this" country. What happened to "our" country? Is he not from here? He said the "ways" of Washington have to change. He is the "way" of Washington. Backroom secret deals and bribes are what make his policies pass. If he doesn't get his way then there's the executive order. The senate failed to pass a bill creating a so called deficit commission therefore he will create it by executive order. A deficit commission is like a study to determine why fish are wet. Cut back on out of control government growth and stop new government growth, that's what's needed, but don't hold your breath, these demagogues will not give in until we vote them out.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
The president tonight was eloquent in his diagnosis of what most troubles America today, the economy. The trouble lies in his treatment of what ailed us this past year, the economy. For the past year, the President and the Democrats created a crisis on health care when what really was ailing our country was a very sick economy. Now all of a sudden, the president has woken up to the fact that was needs his most immediate attention is our economy. Now he has become a champion of job creation and tax relief. Like the doctor who does not listen to the patient, this President and the Democrats ignored the People who grew increasingly impatient and disillusioned with the way they had been treated or mistreated by the very people they hoped would have the cure.

The President and Congress now wants to spend billions on a jobs bill to “get people back to work”. Will such a bill be passed with the same lack of transparency and heavy handedness as their failed stimulus bill? The President and Congress lacks credibility. The stimulus bill was forced through without anyone having read it before voting on it. The President by his own admission failed us on the economy. He promised that if the stimulus was passed unemployment would not top 8%. Unemployment today till tops 10% nationally and in many urban areas surpasses 16% or more.

The majority of State of the Union was just more of the same. He is good at telling us what our problems are, but he comes up short with regard to concrete programs or policies to solve the specific problems he identified. He calls again upon Congress to come up with biils. He offers no programs of his own. Isn’t that what got him in the mess he finds himself today? His main problem is he refuses to lead. The “Buck” doesn’t stop in the Oval Office, it just gets passed there.

The President’s first State of the Union, I found to be a warmed over re-write of the first speech he gave to a Joint Session of Congress shortly after taking office. The people want the president and Congress to focus on the economy, they want the transparency and bipartisanship they were promised, and they want government spending constrained and the deficit reduced.

Truer words were never spoken, when the president said “we face a deficit of trust”. Yes sir, your administration and the Democrats in Congress certainly do. Such was reflected in the recent setbacks your party suffered in New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts.

Lastly and more importantly with regard to our security, the president was right when he said, that when those who seek to harm one American, harms us all. What he is wrong about is preventing future harm to our country by the dangerous policy of treating enemy combatants as common criminal defendants, which he and his Administration supports.

Government doesn't create wealth and the only jobs it "creates" are government jobs. Government can create the atmosphere for job growth by getting out of the way of the private sector. Reduce regulations, cut taxes across the board and allow the capitalist system, that has "created" our wealth in the past, to function again. The Obama's latest populist gimmick is to pretend to be for a 3 year spending "freeze". After an unprecedented 24% increase in spending in his first year, he now wants to freeze that spending. He cannot bring himself to go against his basic beliefs of redistribution, therefore don't look for any real solutions in the presidents words. As he has stated in the past, they're "just words".

Even after the Islamic terrorist massacre at Fort Hood the Pentagon is still infected with "political correctness". Their 86 page review of the shootings focuses on the response and not on the fundamental issue of Islamic terrorists within the ranks of the military. The enemy within will strike again unless they are weeded out. You cannot continue to turn a blind eye to the evil which chooses to destroy our society at any costs. Anyone in our military with Islamic ties should be questioned to determine their loyalties. If they are not completely committed to the fight against our Islamic enemy, they should be removed from the service. Another issue which needs to be addressed is the disarming of our soldiers on military bases. If the soldiers would have been armed, the massacre would not have happened and the terrorist would not be awaiting trial, he would have met his 72 virgins from hell.

The Obama is "going" along with a bill to create a "deficit reduction panel". If it doesn't pass Congress, he is prepared to create the panel by executive order. The Obama blames Bush for the prior budget deficit yet his first years budget more that tripled that deficit. This is like a bank robber overseeing the investigation of his own robbery. Another striking hypocrisy of this panel is the timing. Recommendations will not take place until after the midterm elections in November. The administration is bringing back Obama Campaign manager David Plouffe who recommends they not change their policies but fight harder for them. Forget what the American people want, continue the disastrous socialist policies is what he prescribes. Go for it, continue to show your true anti free enterprise and personal liberty colors. Your days are numbered!

Fresh off the lambasting in Massachusetts, The Obama will now get back to his "campaign" mode. Look for populist themes and typical demagoguery to fuel the next wave of socialist banter. Whether he'll be successful depends on how gullible the American public has become and how much patience they have left.   His policies will not change for if they did, it would mean the abandonment of his liberal dreams. These are at his core and no matter how much sugar coating you put on them, the socialist Marxist within will shine through.   He will want to "stage" himself in preparation for his first state of the union speech next week. When you listen to that speech take his words with a grain of sand, it's his actions that matter and they are as clear as night and day. The Obama speaks and we'll be thinking like Joe Wilson.

GOP election victories in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts are the first 3 steps in derailing runaway big government socialist train. That train was headed straight to a collision with the American Dream. ObamaCare should not be "adjusted" to allow passage, it should be buried along with all the other failed attempts at destroying our freedoms. Government should stick to it's constitutional responsibilities and stop inventing ways of controlling the American people. Cut spending and increasing the debt ceiling. Stop treating terrorists like common criminals. Stop investigating our intelligence officers and stop the obscene prosecution of our Navy SEALs.

The Obama said yesterday that the reason for loosing the Massachusetts Senate seat was that people are "angry and frustrated" over what's happened the last "eight years". He can't help blame Bush for any negative news. Pelosi and The Obama have also said that that health care reform will continue. They refuse to listen to the American people, even when it's in the form of an election. Their goal is breaking our economy, growing the government and making the American people dependent serfs. While they are still in power, nothing is going to stand in their way. The people are "angry and frustrated", but it's not at the Bush years, it's at the take over of our country by these ultra liberal, freedom hating intelligencia that are hell bent on destroying the American way of life. November can't come fast enough but unfortunately we can't fire The Obama until 2012.

The liberal "Cum Ba Ya" bus hit another speed bump on the path to socialism. Coakley is now officially thrown under the bus as they blame their loss in Massachusetts on her campaign. They still fail to see she didn't loose the election, Scott Brown won it. He won it on the repudiation of The Obama's socialist policies. People are fed up with Czar's and dictatorship style of secret governing from the Democrat leadership in Congress. The Obama personally campaigned for Coakley on Sunday and couldn't defend his ObamaCare plans event though that was a primary focus of the Brown campaign. He did manage to criticize Brown and his pick-up truck. Brown won on principles of lowering taxes, reduced spending and defense of our country in the war on terror. These are key points in a conservative agenda that will turn the tide on the destructive policies of this administration.

Democrats in Massachusetts have been known to play games with politics. When they had a Republican governor, they changed the law which allows the governor to appoint an interim Senator until a special election could take place. When events changed and they had a Democrat governor and due to Ted Kennedy's illness they changed the law back to allow the governor to appoint an interim replacement. That replacement, Paul Kirk, was one of the 60 votes in the liberal super majority in Congress. Now facing the possibility of losing in today's special election, they have said they could possibly delay the confirmation of Scott Brown, if he wins, so they could still pass ObamaCare with 60 votes. According to Republican lawyers (reference Fred Barnes - WeeklyStandard) interim Senator Paul Kirk loses his vote after today regardless of who wins the election. Even if Scott Brown is not immediately certified, Democrats would only have 59 votes in the Senate. Massachusetts law, constitutional law and Senate precedence would prevent Kirk from voting. The law states the interim Senator serves until a special election takes place in which a "qualified" candidate is elected. It does not state that the winner has to be "certified" first. After today's vote, a "qualified" candidate would have been elected, event if the winner is not yet determined.

After The Obama's last minute stump for Martha Coakley in Massachusetts, Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI) blamed Bush. Kennedy didn't even know her name, referring to Coakley as "Marcia" several times while blathering about Bush.   That card is getting old and worn, the American people are not falling for it anymore. It's been a year of failures and dangerous policies both for our economy and our security. The blame falls squarely with The Obama, his Czar's and Democrat liberal "closed-door" leadership. The election of Scott Brown to fill the senate seat, vacated by the death of Ted Kennedy, could bring "checks and balances" back into play. Scott Brown would be the 41st vote against socialized medicine and could turn the tide against the enemies of freedom, liberty and personal responsibility.

It could also tax such individuals or groups for their conspiracy speech. Have these fools not ever heard of the first amendment? Why don't they just ban thought? Not to hard to imagine them saying this: "We think, your thinking goes against our beliefs, therefore you will have to pay for those anti-government thoughts."

Out of the terrible devastation from the earthquake in Haiti comes another Democrat blame America statement. Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz while being interviewed on TV said, "You should think of the most primitive environments, the most primitive living conditions that you can imagine. It is wrong, especially in a region as prosperous as this one, for us to continue to allow the desperate situation that exists in Haiti to continue...". Haiti is a free country, if they choose to live in a failed system of Communism and Dictatorships, it's not our responsibility. We should assist with as much support as we can during this devastating catastrophe, as the Unites States always does. Whether it's in our back yard or half way across the world, we have always been the first to lend an unselfish helping hand. Blaming the United States for the squalor in which Haiti finds itself is outrageous. Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. The Dominican Republic is a successful Democratic country while 80% of Haitians are unemployed and dependent on their government.   We're surprised that they haven't blamed Bush for this earthquake yet, but don't hold your breath.

Venezuelan dictator and Castro puppet Hugo Chavez continues his destruction of a once great oil rich country. He has now devalued the currency by 50%. This in essence would cause inflation by forcing the value of products and services to double in price to maintain their worth. The big problem here is that Chavez has warned the business community that if they raise their prices the government will take over their business. This is just another example of how big government can ruin the private sector economy which provides opportunities for the very people the government pretends to help. Government price controls ruin markets. Although an oil rich nation, Chavez is running Venezuela into the ground with his socialist/communist policies. These examples are important for us because our liberal run government is heading down the same road. Chavez is also having Iranians run their oil fields and manufacturing Russian AK47's in order to export his revolution and destabilize the Americas. His primary target is the United States of America. The Obama's policy of trying to befriend our enemies has done nothing to change the Chavez machine. We should not turn a blind eye to the evil that lurks in our own back yard.

Harry Reid should step down. What person in their right mind even has the word “negro” in their vocabulary? What right minded person would point to an African American as being more acceptable to the electorate because they were “light-skinned...with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one”? The fact that he would use the that word so matter of factly is beyond the pale. Reid has a long history of intemperate remarks but, this latest one is the straw that broke the camel’s back. Harry Reid is not some obscure legislator, he is the leader of the Senate for Democrats and thus a leader of his party. For Democrats not to call immediately for his resignation, shows the hypocrisy of a party destined for huge set backs in the very near future. Democrats have lost complete touch with the People. I am not attacking Reid because I am a Republican, I am attacking Reid because I am an American. In America there should be zero tolerance for bigoted speech from our elected officials.

The White House hype with regard to the governments many failures to “connect the dots” to prevent the Christmas day failed terrorist attack was bizarre. General Jones said that the revelations made today by the President will “shock” America.

Well, I listened intently to the President’s remarks today and I was not shocked at all. It was clear to all Americans that the government failed on numerous levels to prevent the Christmas day attack. What was shocking was that the Obama Administration was slow to react to the obvious and tried to snow the American People into believing that it was an isolated incident and that all proper security and administrative procedures were followed.

What is not clear is who told the President that this was an isolated incident? Who told the President that “all proper procedures were followed?” Who told the President that this guy was a “lone wolf” and not associated with known terrorist organizations? Why did the President not have the facts that the media was able to thread together within 24 hours of the attack? The fact that the President has finally and forcefully taken action does not excuse those who have not.

Heads need to roll.

Two weeks after the failed terrorist attack on flight 253 the "buck" has stopped. The Obama finally admitted the "buck stops here". After all the finger pointing blame-game and the "system worked" nonsense, the buck stopped were it belonged all along. Bringing terrorist from Gitmo to NY for civilian trials, wanting to close Gitmo, sending terrorists back into the battle to kill more Americans and treating this war as individual criminal acts is outrageous. Reaching out the hand of friendship to a terrorist hell bent on your demise is tantamount to suicide. This same overloaded bureaucratic system that failed to protect us will work wonders for ObamaCare.

Democrats had it all but they were so drunk with power they are now waking up with a massive hangover. 'Change' is coming but not the 'change' they were hoping for.
The handwriting is on the wall for Democrats in 2010 and the message is clear, "you failed to lead." The Democrats had it all, the presidency, the House and Senate with high majorities, but, in spite of everything they failed to govern and lead America like they had promised.
For these and other reasons, Democrats like Dodd, Dorgan and Ritter are now dropping like flies, because they know what is in store for them and other Democrats come this November.
The American people are upset, they hoped for "change" and "transparency" and what they got was the best legislation money could buy in paying off Senators and members of Congress for their votes on bills that were written behind closed doors and were never read by those called upon to vote on them.
The "stimulus" was a failure; unemployment is still over 10% nationally.
Democrats' health care reforms will bankrupt the nation and create massive amounts of debt. The deficit has ballooned to over $1.8 trillion dollars this year and is likely to be more a trillion dollars per year for the next 10 years if Democrats continue on their course of massive spending.
The Democrats were so drunk with power that they squandered and abused their golden opportunity to lead. 2010 will no doubt be a year of "change" but not the "change" Democrats were hoping for.

Then in the same breath, the narcissist says he will not stand for any finger pointing while carefully holstering the very finger he just pointed.

More often than not, Americans and the World look to American Presidents for their words. Whether a president’s words bring comfort, understanding, clarity, resolve or commitment, it is all about the message and delivery of them.
The Obama Administration started out on the wrong foot with regard to the “war of terrorism”.

According to then President-elect Obama and his nominee for Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, there was no “war on terrorism”. In fact they refused to even use the word terrorism in their public speak before and after taking office.

The consequence of this new “policy” by a new American administration of not acknowledging a continuing and dangerous threat to our country and our allies emboldened those who seek to do us harm and troubled our friends.

Secretary Designee Napolitano within days of Obama taking the oath of office appeared before Senate confirmation hearings at which in her prepared remarks she never once uttered the words “war on terrorism” or “terrorism”. Instead she called clear acts of organized terrorism, “man caused disasters”.

The words the President is using today, after the first domestic terror attack on his watch, are not the same words he used in the campaign or his first many months in office. The words he uses today are words of a president, any president who is confronted with an enemy that is undeniable and determined.

White House nominee to head the TSA, Erroll Southers, misled (Washington speak for lied to) Congress during his nomination hearing. He used his access as an FBI agent to gather personal information, from secure databases, on his ex wife's boy friend. At a time when transportation security is of such high profile and for the safety of the traveling public, his nomination should be pulled or voted down. We need the head of the TSA to be above reproach and focused on strengthening our security capabilities. Amongst much needed new guidelines, we should set aside political correctness and use profiling to our advantage. After all, profiling is the best means to isolate a potential threat.

Perusing pictures of 2009 we ran across one of a Polar bear with another polar bears head dangling from his mouth. The entrails of the dead polar bear leaving a bloody trail behind. The caption read, "Dwindling Polar Bear populations resort to cannibalism due to Global Warming". Outright distortion, lies and graphic sensationalism like this is why the global warming hoax is so commonplace. An ongoing study by biologist Mitchell Taylor, in the Davis Straight area of the Canadian eastern artic, shows a population of 2,100 up from 850 in the mid 1980's. That's an increase of 150%. The truth is finally getting out on this scam. The time when these alarmist could peddle their junk science with impunity is over. At the core of their madness is the global anti-American redistribution of wealth scheme of which our president and Algore are accomplices.

'Twas the night before Christmas, not a creature was stirring, not even a... Muslim fanatic. Wrong! They were stirring in a long planned and tested method to destroy more innocent lives. Specially planned and timed for our Christmas. The Obama and his Homeland In-Security Secretary brush it off as if a convenience store was just robbed. This is incompetence at its finest and borders on the edge of aiding and abetting our enemies. Our president, his administration and the Democrat leaders in Congress continue to make excuses, blame the previous administration and work to tear down our defense capabilities. The Obama claims this was a lone act of a terrorist. If that was true, where did he get his training? Who trained him? Who aided his access to get on board an international flight without a passport? People are starting to see through the King-of-Bull's rhetoric and into his soul. Two of the leaders of Al-Qaeda in Yemen, where the crouch-bomber was trained, were released during the Bush Administration. That was a mistake, but we shouldn't multiply that mistake by completely closing Gitmo like The Obama has promised to do. We are not dealing with conventional armies. Armies used to do battle against each other. These evil miscreants seek to kill innocents. Where is the world community in condemning these terrorists while they at the same time condemn our soldiers when they accidentally harm innocent civilians in the line of fire. In the line of fire where the terrorist hide under old ladies skirts and behind their own children.
We agree with Ann Coulter's solution: Search all Muslims. These terrorists acts have ALL been at the hands of Muslims. Profile, profile, profile or prepare the caskets for the next terrorist act. It's coming whether you turn your head, bury it in the sand or in the fairy dust world our liberal leadership lives in. A fantasy land of marshmallows and weasels.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
The President started out on the wrong foot with regard to the continuing threat of terrorism that faces our nation. He let our guard down when he allowed his Secretary of Homeland Security to ban the word “terrorism” and use in its stead “man caused disasters”. On March 16, 2009, Secretary Napolitano gave an interview to the German publication Spiegel, this is what she was asked and this is how she responded:

“SPIEGEL: Madame Secretary, in your first testimony to the US Congress as Homeland Security Secretary you never mentioned the word "terrorism." Does Islamist terrorism suddenly no longer pose a threat to your country?

Napolitano: Of course it does. I presume there is always a threat from terrorism. In my speech, although I did not use the word "terrorism," I referred to "man-caused" disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.

SPIEGEL: This sounds quite different from what we heard from the Bush administration. How will the new anti-terror policy differ from the previous one?

Napolitano: Our policies will be guided by authoritative information. We also have assets at our disposal now that we did not have prior to 9/11. For example, we are much better able to keep track of travelers coming into the US than we were before. The third thing is to work with our international partners and allies to make sure that we are getting information and sharing information in an appropriate and real-time fashion.”

Napolitano’s early statements with regard to terrorism and her latest comments with regard to the act of terrorism aboard Northwest flight 253 make it clear she is incompetent and must go.

The President when he took office was convinced that he could unilaterally change the minds of those who seek to harm us by pandering and apologizing and taking out words like “the war on terror” and “terrorism” from our government and public speak.

Well he was wrong. It is not about changing the ‘tone” it is about defending our country. It doesn’t matter to terrorists who our president is. They hate our way of life, what we stand for and our values as a nation.

The fact that the President of the United States would wait 3 days before responding to a foiled terrorist attack on American soil on Christmas day no less, shows me, that this guy just doesn’t get it. He is weak. His staff is weak and his Secretary of Homeland Security doesn’t have a clue.

After the attempted bombing of Northwest Flight 253, Homeland "In-Security" Secretary Janet Napolitano declared that this was NOT connected to a larger terrorist plot. What planet are these people living on? Could their political correctness infection have actually taken over their whole being? This kind of mentality is what led to 9/11 in the first place. Treating Terrorism as individual criminal acts only serves to embolden our enemies. To attempt this terror act on Christmas day shows that these Muslim fanatics and their religious beliefs have nothing to do with peace. It's about domination and eliminating a threat to their existence. That threat is freedom and liberty. Two words not associated with their Muslim beliefs.

Unrest in Iran has risen sharply over the weekend after a dissident clerics death. Eight mourners were gunned down by the Iranian police on Sunday. People are dying in the streets for their freedom and liberty and we are standing idly by. The president and congress should make a strong statement of support for those risking their lives for freedom and condemn the terrorist government of Iran for what it is. Concessions and turning a blind eye to the Islamic evil in Iran has done nothing but kick the can further down the road. A message of support will go a long way towards real "change" in the world, before a nuclear threat to the middle east and beyond becomes reality.

A Northwest flight from Amsterdam to Detroit almost turned tragic when a 23 year old Nigerian Muslim attempted to blow up the plane on Christmas day. This is a reminder that no matter how nice you try to play with these radical Islamist, they still want to kill you, plain and simple. We're at war with an asymmetric enemy and cannot stop until this evil is eradicated. We tend to go overboard with the PC disease and fail to see the madness that confronts us. Radical Muslims in their 20's commit or attempt to commit these terrorist acts while we detain old ladies in wheel chairs. Our government reaches out with an olive branch while our enemies stab us in the back with our own arrows. Peace is achieved through victory not through appeasement and exit strategies.

Representative Democracy was severely wounded this morning by the Senate's ignoring the "will of the people". Poll after poll of the American people has shown their disappointment for the way ObamaCare is being crammed down their throats. They have also stated their opinions against the socialist takeover of our health care. On a straight party line vote 60-39 all 58 Democrat Senators and two Independents voted to ignore the American people. They have sold their souls to the tyranny that lies ahead. As horrible as this bill is, the house Democrats don't think it goes far enough and may caused a problem in conference. It may be the last opportunity to stop this madness. With the camel being a "single-payer-system", some have said this bill puts the nose of the camel in the tent. We believe it's the other end of his body and it rhythms with the Democrat Party mascot (definition: The wild ancestor of the donkey is the African Wild Ass, E. africanus), very appropriate!

ObamaCare is being forced upon us because of the false belief that health care is a "right". Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution does it enumerate health care as a right. The Constitution limits the governments powers and reserves those powers not specifically enumerated, for the people. ObamaCare's provisions of forcing every American citizen to purchase insurance is therefore unconstitutional. Penalizing individuals who do not purchase insurance is by extension also a violation of the Constitution.   The government cannot force a right upon you. It can enforce the violation of a given right, but it cannot force you to exercise that right. This forceful takeover of our health care system is an overreaching power grab by big government bleeding-heart-liberals that will end up destroying, what is today, the best health care system in the world.
*****

12-23-2009
It's not surprising that a president whose mentor in his formative years was a member of the American Communist Party, Frank Marshall Davis, would want to socialize our health care system. Apologizing for the United States and seeking to "fundamentally" change this country are in keeping with his beliefs of the Marxist principles which are engrained in him. What is surprising is how many senators have sold their soul and country out in the process. Seems like a Democrat senators word is as worthless as a baseball players used chew. They both stink and who's going to clean up the mess they leave behind?

How much does it cost to sell out your country? Your children? Your grandchildren? Apparently Senator Ben Nelson, Democrat (Neb.) has his price. Like so many other Democrat colleagues of his, he values his knees over his country. The knee cappers struck again. What is the hurry to pass a bill that will not take effect for four years? The pressure came from an arbitrary deadline, imposed by the The Obama, in order to pass this monstrosity before the people revolt. The majority of American citizens are against this government takeover of 1/6 the economy and there health care choices. Innovation and new medicines will be a thing of the past. This bill is not about covering more people or reducing costs, it's about making the American people dependent on our government. That's the bottom line, dependence and serfdom is the goal of these socialist. To hell with freedom and liberty. We are in the midst of the "change" that The Obama promised. When those democrat senators make their sellout votes official, they will cement their own unemployment. Unfortunately they won't all be up for re-election at the same time, but we'll remember!

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
Our President does not get what it means to be “presidential”. He is not the Secretary of State or the head of the EPA, he is the head of state and head of government of one of the worlds greatest powers. He lowers his ability to do great things domestically and internationally when he lowers himself to that of a subordinate. He has failed to lead at home by ceding his leadership to Congress and he fails to lead internationally when he panders, apologizes, and personally participates in failed meetings. He has flip flopped on his role with regard to “global warming”. First he said he would not personally participate in a meeting that did not generate results. Then he said he would participate in the jump start of the new attempts to get an agreement. Then yet again, he changed his mind and said he would appear at the end of the new negotiations regardless of whether there was a deliverable he could agree with at the conclusion of the meeting. This is the second time the President has appeared in Copenhagen only to come home empty handed. President’s need to initiate great opportunities then step back and leave it to others to work out the details and then re-emerge to close the final deal with all the pomp and circumstance that it warrants. How many defeats and embarrassments must our president endure before he gets what it means to be the President of the United States of America?

The "Copenhagen Farce" continues under a blanket of snow. Four inches of snow fell overnight with temperatures of 25 degrees Fahrenheit. This is very unusual for a Scandinavian country whose climate is much milder than it's neighbors. Copenhagen hasn't had a white Christmas for 14 years. Great location and timing for the global-warming-milk-the-west party. Reminds us of the UN global warming conference in New York that had to be rescheduled because of an ice storm. These idiots wouldn't know the truth if it bit them in the "derrière". Perhaps they should plan their next one in the Sahara! America and capitalism hating dictators and thugs the likes of Chavez, Ahmadinejad and Mugabe spoke to cheering crowds at the conference. Bashing the United States is very popular with this crowd. The Obama is soon to join his friend Chavez, and if history serves us right, will do some more of his apologizing before handing over a check written on the backs of the American people. It's a disgrace!

The Obama scare machine is back in business. Seems every time they want to push a socialist solution on the American people they pull out the scare card. This time they say we will go bankrupt if ObamaCare is not passed. The truth is completely the opposite. Socialized government run health care will bankrupt the system. You don't have to use the EU example just look at Oregon and California where liberal health care solutions are in place. They are going bankrupt. Liberals are like a man in a hole, they think the way out is to dig deeper. Sharing failed policies for the sake of political power is a betrayal of their oath to the American people. Seems they must want to join their friends in the unemployment lines.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
If I were grading Obama I would have given him a “solid” D. I would demand he get a new set of tutors and ask to speak to his parents. This is a bright fellow who is not living up to his potential. He is easily distracted, has a hard time staying focused and making decisions and does not work well with others. I would also switch him to another class to get him away from the bad influences that are around him every day, like Ms. Jarrett, Mr. Emanuel, Mr. Axelrod, Mr. Summers, Mr. Gibbs, etc.

The retreat of a Medicare public option by Democrats does not necessarily signal that they are abandoning the public option all together. It just means that they need to find another vehicle by which to package and sell it. Desperate people will do desperate things. Between the costs, the public option and abortion, Democrats will have a hard time with their own members passing a Bill this year or any other and still be able to call it “health care reform”.

12-16-2009
Let the "knee-capping" commence. Democrats are having trouble getting the 60 votes they need to stop debate and take over our health care system. The more radical amongst them don't think the ObamaCare bill goes far enough towards the government run single-payer they prefer and the less radical ones think it goes to far. Seems the public option morphed "Medicare Buy-In" is too much for them. Those less radicals understand, like we do, that Medicare is already going broke and adding millions to that system would only make things worse. Step in the Chicago knee-cappers for a White House session. Maybe some arm twisting and back room buy-outs will make the difference. Only time will tell, but hopefully common sense will prevail, and this chapter of Congress and The Obama overstepping their roles against the American peoples wishes can be put to rest soon.

12-15-2009
From "Public Option" to "Government option" to "Medicare Buy-In", if it walks like a pig, looks like a pig, it's a pig! Take a failing government program that costs $400 billion a year today and will grow to $700 billion a year by 2017 and add millions of people to that system and what do you get? Accelerated government failure, scarcity of doctors willing to accept Medicare patients and bankrupt hospitals. This is just another prescription for disaster from the socialists which are hell bent on destroying our health care system with ObamaCare.

Watch the actions not the rhetoric! The Obama and his administration continue to speak of the deficit as if they are concerned about it. What you need to keep in mind when listening to their propaganda is the very policies that they espouse are the ones that are and will continue to bankrupt our country. Congress is raising the national debt ceiling by nearly $2,000,000,000,000.00 (that's two TRILLION dollars) to keep our treasury from bankruptcy. Nationalizing health care and paying developing countries for our contribution to the "global warming" hoax are other ways in which our economy will be brought to it's knees. One wonders what the intention of this president was to begin with. Is the "change" he promised a "change" to mediocrity, to failure, to appeasement and to serfdom? It sure looks and smells that way.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
The circumstance by which President Obama found himself as the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize shows the hypocrisy of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee not of our President by accepting it. There is no doubt in my mind that the Nobel Committee thought they could influence our President by honoring him. They hoped that influence would come by way of decisions the President would make with regard to the wars America is involved with. Had George Bush still been president and made the same decisions Obama made with regard to Iraq and Afghanistan, he would have been mocked, not feted in Norway. Over all the speech was well delivered and the content straight forward and sobering. The irony is that George W. Bush could have delivered the very same speech. It was a truly an American President’s message to the World. The President rightfully stated that war can be just and in some cases inevitable because of the evil we face. President Obama made the best out of an awkward situation and turned the tables on the Europeans. They got what they had never expected and if they accept his message favorably then it was well worth it. Kudos to President Obama.

The Obama is accusing Republicans of "frightening" the American people over ObamaCare. If it's "frightening" to alert the American people of the dangers of a government run and controlled health care system, then frighten away. Wasn't The Obama "frightening" the American people and congress over what would happen if the "Spendulus" bill was not passed right away earlier this year? He said unemployment would go over 8% if the "Spendulus" bill was not passed overnight. We'll it did pass and unemployment went to 10.2%. A majority of the American people are set against losing the best health care system in the world and this administration and it's puppets in congress are turning their backs on them. After all, high minded liberals know what's best for us plain old citizens. They're only trying to save us from ourselves. The audacity of conceit knows no bounds with these airheads.

Reid's comments are hateful, hurtful, and have no relevance what so ever to the health care debate.

Call it what they will, between the public option, abortion funding and the high cost of Reid's health care plan, there is enough not to like to kill health care reform. The death will not come at the hands of Republicans it will be by "Democide".

On the eve of the Copenhagen 'looney tunes' summit the EPA is doing by mandate what they couldn't do by legislation. Since the Cap-N-Trade bill doesn't look like it's heading anywhere in the Senate, the EPA is taking steps to regulate carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas or pollutant. False global warming data and truth about global cooling does not deter this administration from taking further steps to destroy our economy and way of life. Since carbon dioxide is what we exhale we suggest that the deficit could be cut by taxing all the hot air and bull which emanates from our socialist congress.

Once again the "transparent" presidency of The Obama shows it's anything but. A closed door "pep talk" to his liberal Democrat allies in congress to continue the pressure for ObamaCare is the latest in a series of in your face hypocrisy. They speak of bi-partisanship while shutting Republicans out of any discourse. They attack Republicans with the "party of No" label while not giving their proposals a hearing. We believe Republicans are the party of No, No to destroying our healthcare system, NO to bankrupting our country and No to an ever increasing government intrusion into our freedom an liberty. For this a stand against the loss of the American way and dream which has been the backbone of our society since it's inception.

There are talks in Congress of diverting unspent TARP funds towards a "new" jobs initiative. This initiative would focus on "green jobs". Like the blind stampede towards a healthcare destroying government run system, the administration and current congressional leadership ignore history of the very programs and systems they are proposing. Spain has already gone down the "green jobs" road. Spain destroys 2.2 jobs for every “Green Job” it generates. Government subsidized jobs have been proven to be costly and generally go away when that subsidy "subsides". These people are ignorant to what made this country great and to the capitalist free enterprise engine that has driven us until now. The Obama and his people aim to kill the Goose and will then blame the goose for not producing any more "Golden Eggs".

Democrats in the Senate won passage of $400 Billion in Medicare cuts. These cuts are mainly comprised of reduced payments to hospitals and physicians. The elderly or seasoned citizens amongst us will be hardest hit. This step was a necessary one on their path to passage of the health care destroying ObamaCare plan. What started out as $500 Billion savings from Medicare fraud has morphed into $400 Billion of reduced benefits. The main group representing the elderly, AARP, has betrayed their membership once more. Most likely due to back door Chicago style deals with knee-capping as an option. We suggest the group change it's name to the Association Against Retired People.

California Democrat Congressman Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce believes the government should help the struggling newspaper industry. This would lead to another government bailout and control of a private sector enterprise. Government control of private industry is fascism. When that industry is a publishing one, it will also lead to propaganda. This goes against the very principles of the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The newspaper business is in decline because of the many new sources of information brought about by cable and the Internet. Propping up this business would only lead to government control of information and or a prolonging of the inevitable collapse of the industry itself.

Last night The Obama once again used our military as props for a political speech. After dragging his feet for months on making a decision to send more troops to Afghanistan, the affect of which was to embolden our enemies and depress our troops moral, his decision is a poor one. Approving only 30,000 of the 40,000 troops requested by the commanding general on the ground, he has made the focus of a surge an "exit strategy". There is not "victory strategy" anywhere in his dialog. The object of war is to win, not to leave the battlefield. The Afghan people can't leave when we do and those that stood with us will surely pay dearly. As Michael Monroney correctly stated in a previous BLOG entry, there is a false comparison between Afghanistan and Vietnam. In Vietnam our enemies went back to their families and fields after we withdrew, they did not and had no intention of following us here and blowing up buildings, buses and trains. Our enemy in Afghanistan, Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, are terrorist. By definition, they will continue to fight us to impose their Radical Fundamentalist Islamic rule on their subjects. An exit on a timetable just let's them know when to take over and it also grows their ranks. As Afghans see that we are not committed to the Taliban's defeat, some will hedge their bets and switch sides making victory that much harder to achieve and further decreasing our soldiers security.

In light of the revelations that The Climatic Research Unit (CRU) falsified and withheld important climate change data, we believe the presidential trip to Copenhagen on December 9th should be scrapped. This would send the world a clear signal that the United States will not fall for a world governing body that is based on lies. Lies that will cripple the civilized nations economies and cause the further loss of millions of jobs. Of course this is only wishful thinking because The Obama and his congress are on board with the lunacy that is man-made global warming. Their goals and that of our enemies coincide.

Rumors of a second stimulus, the "jobs-stimulus", are abound. The scare tactic used for the first "spendulus" disaster was the fear of unemployment going beyond 8% if it were not passed. Now at 10.2% and rising they want to continue their government growth and add more debt to the deficit. Simple economic theory cannot penetrate the thick sculls of those running the show. Tax relief across the board is what's needed to help the economy. Let every American that pays taxes keep more of their paycheck and let every business keep more of their profit and you will see the great engine of the free enterprise system go back to work. Government does not create jobs or wealth. Government growth comes at the expense of the private sector, thereby reducing economic activity including job creation.

Email and programming code has been discovered that show The Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia was "cooking" it's books.

They never let facts stand in their way. Even thought global temperatures have been cooling the last ten years they still push their global warming idiocy. It's part business so they can enrich themselves with their scare tactics and part control so they can grow government and further "change" our behavior and lives.

The Obama's regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, criticized Sean Hannity for supposedly spreading "false rumors" about The Obama's associations. Apparently Sunstein wants libel laws changed to make it easier to sue for libel. I guess freedom of speech is not that important to these dim bulbs. The Obama's associations with known terrorist Bill Ayers, America bashing preacher Jeremiah Wright and his communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis are facts. If they were not, then go ahead and use the existing laws to sue for libel. Their only defense is to attack the messenger because they can't refute the facts. Sunstein is not a rouge operative, he is in a band of Marxists with the likes of Van Jones and Anita Dunn lead by the band master, The Obama himself!

We thought it would be appropriate to define some terms that are being used in the political discourse nowadays:
Public Option - Government control of a socialist national health care system.
Competition - An ant eater competing against an ant (that's the way the government would compete against insurance companies).
Deliberations - Delaying tactics before they implement what they wanted to from the beginning (usually happens under cover of night and behind closed doors).
Obama Statement - A pronouncement that is usually 180 degrees off the facts   (In other words, meant to be repeated by the MSM regardless of the truth).

At every turn this administration blames everything on President Bush. Like a little kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar, "George made me do it". Our country is being run by socialist-intellectual-pinheads. The decision to bring the five 9-11 co-conspirators for a show trial in New York is the latest example of their stupidity. This weekend a lawyer representing the five terrorist said that his clients will plead not guilty, not to fight the charges but so they can criticize American foreign policy. In other words, criticize the Bush administration foreign policy. A clever pinheaded diversion that will further erode our standing in the world.

The Obama Administration cannot catch a break. At a time when they are desperately pushing for generational changes in health care and reassuring people that government controlled health care will not be rationed care – along comes a “independent, government funded task force” that “recommends” that women over 40 do not need annual routine mammograms. The task force is made up of 16 “public health specialists” but not one oncologist. The task force in making this controversial recommendation did not even consult an oncologist before making their report. How can this be? Now radiologists and oncologists are accusing the task force of unethical behavior risking women's lives by such advancing such erroneous findings. Folks, this is glimpse of what is in store if the Democrats succeed in instituting a National Health Care Scheme for all Americans. The Government, their agents and “task forces” are going to dictate what medical tests and procedures an American is entitled to and it will not be on a case by case basis, it will be based on a class or pool of patients. This amounts to rationed care plain and simple. If you are a certain gender and a certain age than you get this type of care. The individual will be taken out of the equation. The Democrats health care Bills in the House and the Senate speak to government administrators and panels that will be making policy and recommendations for health care for Americans. They will dictate what tests and procedures the government will and will not cover. All I have to say is, that if you like the manner in which this federally funded and administered task force dealt with mammograms then you will love the Democrats National Health Care System. Stay well my friends.

The Democrats health care scheme is a “shell game”. The President came up with an the artificial “magic number” of 900 billion. He proclaimed that any health care bill must be below that figure. Well the House Bill passed blew past that by a couple hundred billion, while the Senate proposed Bill is just under it. What is a few hundred billion when you have created trillions in deficit. The Obama Administration made world history this month when our national debt topped 12 trillion dollars. Divide our debt amongst our national population and that amounts to $38,974.34 for every man woman and child. The Democrats are fixated on “fixing” 1/6th of our economy, (health care) when the other 5/6th’s of our economy is what needs the most immediate attention. What good is affordable health care if you do not have a job to pay for it? The Democrats should be on a “holy war” on fixing the economy and creating jobs not nationalizing health care. The Democrats have over reached on health care reform as they did in 1994 and voters will remember it in the midterms. Between the abortion issue, the public option and the cost, the Democrats have created a crisis on health care when America has an honest to goodness crisis on the economy, jobs, foreclosures, bankruptcy’s, taxing, spending and debt that they refuse to confront.

New unemployment claims were just reported at 505,000. The economy keeps tanking and The Obama keeps apologizing. Not for the economy but for the greatness of America and our history. He says we need to reduce deficit spending while at the same time continues to push programs that will bankrupt the nation. Economic relief through payroll tax cuts is what this economy needs right now. This would of course not bode well for their re-distribution plans. Unfortunately this socialist crowd does not trust the American people and does not want to give up control.

You would think that a President who has had such a tough year and nothing to show for it domestically would have planned a foreign trip that would have at least had some “breakthroughs” or accomplishments to show for it. The President and his Administration have been bogged down. His economic initiatives are a disaster. The “Stimulus” is a failure. Unemployment and job losses are at record levels. His Administration has been consumed with health care reform at the expense of the greater economy. The President is “dithering” on making a decision with regard to our resolve on Afghanistan. Housing is still sluggish and foreclosures continue at a alarming rate. Consumer debt is choking the average American family. Usually when President’s decide to travel abroad during trying times at home they do so knowing that they can come home with something to crow about. This trip will bring home no concrete deliverables, just controversy and or speculation as to why he went with nothing really to show for it upon his return. In Japan there was the “bow”. In China there was the “rigged” student audience and a Press Conference where the leader of China did not allow questions. I think it is time for the President to trade in his campaign staff for people who understand how to lead and govern effectively.

"Oba-Mao" seems right at home in China. A communist country which controls speech, limits and monitors the Internet and controls every aspect of Chinese life. If that "perfect" government system could only be implemented in the United States, "Oba-Mao" and his cronies would be in Marxist heaven. No more Fox News, Oba-Mao-Care would be the national health system and all the sheeple would live happily ever after. Perhaps free Lobotomies should be the crown jewel in Oba-Mao-Care, then the "change" would be an easier pill to swallow!

The radical nature of this administration and the president continues to present itself at every turn. By refusing to call the Fort Hood Terrorist massacre what it is and rather choosing to label it as a lone criminal act by a soldier who "cracked" under pressure, they are refusing to admit the obvious, we're at war with Islamic fundamentalism. The enemy has infiltrated our ranks! The president bows before the king of Saudi Arabia and the emperor of Japan. This bowing shows subservience, it is shameful that the leader of the free world and the lone world superpower continues to act in such a demeaning manner. Perhaps he would also bow in the presence of Fidel Castro. Bringing terrorist prisoners to New York, giving them all the rights of a U.S. citizen is an outrage on its face and a capitulation to our enemies. These terrorist are non-uniformed enemy combatants that under rules of war are not covered by the Geneva Convention. They can and should be held by the military until our enemy is defeated. If you release them, they return to the war to murder more civilians and soldiers. If you bring them to trial in a U.S. court, you make a mockery of our military and send a signal to the world that our military is incapable of providing justice. Another shameful show by this radical left leadership in the White House.

With regard to the Obama Administrations decision to try the masterminds of the 9/11 attacks in a U.S. Federal Criminal Court is an outrage not just a terrible lapse of judgment. It is outrageous to give these enemy combatant terrorists the same rights afforded to U.S. Citizens. These men were already being tried by military tribunals as are other detainees. Military Tribunals are legal and are a appropriate forum for these trails. The President made a choice to try these Terrorists as “defendants” in a civilian criminal court. Our President should be held accountable for this disgraceful act. The President touts himself as a “constitutional scholar” yet, he just trampled it. Obama sees the terrorism as a law enforcement problem. We are not sending policemen to Afghanistan and Iraq, we are sending soldiers. Our enemies do not fight in uniforms, they fight as guerrillas. They do not fight pursuant to international law and do not recognize any treaty or convention. America fights with one hand tied behind our backs because we fight pursuant to laws and convention and thus we fight at great disadvantage. President Obama just tied another hand behind the backs of those who fight an enemy who knows no norms or decency. These trials held in U.S. Federal Criminal Court in the Southern District of New York is just blocks from Ground Zero. It will amount to show trials by these Defendants and will subject our government to the possibility of releasing still classified information that will aid those still sworn to do us harm. As someone who lost a Nephew in the attacks of 9/11 and a lawyer I am beyond outraged by the President’s decision.

This administration, the president and leftists amongst us seem to always mention the "exit strategy" when talking about war. On Iraq, they constantly hounded the Bush administration about the 'exit strategy" and wanting to set a troop withdrawal date. The Bush administration was able to secure a troop surge which ultimately changed the coarse of events on the ground and won the war. The Iraqi military is now firmly in command in Iraq and our military is providing backup and support. Faced with a similar situation in Afghanistan the same crowd is beating the same "exit strategy" drumbeat. The difference this time is, The Obama is one of them. They refuse to learn from history and therefore are bound to repeat the same mistakes. Indecision on supporting our troops in the field is a decision in itself. Where is the talk of a "VICTORY strategy"? That's what our focus should be. A "VICTORY Strategy" to support our troops, win the battle on the ground and provide stability for the people of Afghanistan so they can take over their own defense. The end result would be to drain the swamp from which a safe haven for the Islamo-facists could be eliminated.

The Obama has scrapped all Afghanistan plans and asked for news ones to review. He is unsure of the government of Afghanistan. What about our troops in harms way? This is a play for time and an excuse for not making a decision. The Obama has no problem "jumping" to conclusions and making decisions when they meet his prejudicial political views, such as calling the Cambridge police "stupid" and siding with communists against the democratic government of Honduras. This is not a decision to go to war, we are at war, and our troops are hanging in the balance. Priority number one should be providing our troops support to achieve their mission and maintain their safety. Once again this president has failed miserably at his duties, the primary of which, is that of commander in chief.

In order to fully engage in a battle you have to realize that you're in a battle to begin with. The Obama and his PC crowd are still operating on a pre-911 political mindset. To state that the Ft. Hood terrorist massacre was a case of a soldier "cracking" under pressure is refusing to see the evil before you. Sticking your head in the sand will not make it go away. Treating a case like this as a "criminal act" is what was done for years prior to 911, this emboldened our enemies to proceed and expand their attacks. Our veterans and active duty soldiers deserve the full support of their commander in chief and their government.

It is helpful to occasionally take a look at the big picture. The Obama is consistent is his siding against the United States at every opportunity. He can travel overseas to pick up his ludicrous Nobel Peace Prize but cannot travel to Germany to celebrate the triumph of freedom and liberty over communism and tyranny. A triumph in which the United States, led by Ronald Reagan, was the primary factor. Instead, former Soviet leader Gorbachev was hailed as a hero. That's the world turned upside down. In the case of the Fort Hood terrorist massacre, The Obama refuses to call it was it is, a terrorist act by a Muslim fanatic on innocent, unarmed soldiers and civilians. Political correctness gone amok allowed this tragedy to occur and will lead to others if this nonsense is not reversed. On the house passed ObamaCare bill, at a time when our economy is in shambles with an all out attack by this congress and administration, this is not the remedy. Unemployment at 10.2% and facing a health care takeover that will destroy our health care system and destroy jobs in the process. The only job creation here would be by government panels and bureaucracies that would be created to run your health into the ground. The big picture, if it's bad for us, this president is for it.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
Newt Gingrich is right on. President Obama is still smarting from Germany denying Candidate Obama’s request to stage a huge campaign rally at the Brandenburg Gate back in July of 2008. Candidate Obama hoped to recreate the images of Ronald Reagan’s historic speech at the Brandenburg Gate when the Berlin Wall was up. Reagan’s visit was in July of 1987, it was during that visit that Reagan challenged Gorbachev to “Tear down this wall”. The Gate was also used as a backdrop for President John F. Kennedy’s famous speech in which he declared, “Ich bin ein Berliner”, (I am a Berliner). The German Government deemed their iconic landmark of freedom and struggle, too sacred to be used as a campaign prop for the Obama Campaign. Many Germans said it was like the Chancellor in an election going to Washington, D.C. and giving a speech on the National Mall. It would be unthinkable.

The Fact that President Obama thought it was important to Campaign at the site where the Berlin Wall fell but as President not important enough to go to Germany to commemorate the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the wall is nothing short of outrageous and petty.

The Fall of the Berlin Wall was a important piece of positive World History. It was not just historic for our time it was historic for all time. It is a symbol of a peoples struggle for freedom and democracy over tyranny and oppression. The Berlin Wall went up with great blood being shed but came down with not a shot being fired. It was a great triumph for peaceful revolution yet, this American President whose country was instrumental in bringing the wall down is no where to be seen in Germany to mark the occasion of a milestone anniversary.

This is a great embarrassment to our Nation. The President will find the time to fly to Sweden to pick-up his Nobel Peace Prize but cannot find the time to celebrate the Fall of the Berlin Wall and represent America. He is wrong.

We are at war and the enemy is within us! The horror at Fort Hood was a terrorist act by a Muslim fanatic who failed at his duties at Walter Reed. Maj. Hasan was then reassigned to Fort Hood. He not only showed signs of supporting Islamist terrorist, he also wrote about them and was critical of the United States war in our defense against that evil. Political correctness is a disease that is destroying our institutions and traditions. Looks like the military is not immune to this disease and is a target by Muslim terrorists from within it's ranks. This is a wake up call, let's not allow another innocent unarmed soldiers needless death at the hands of our cowardly enemy.

The Labor Department has just announced the national unemployment rate has hit 10.2%. This is the highest rate in over 26 years. Our government should be focused on the economy and not on a health care take over that will only make things worse. ObamaCare is a double edged sword: It will destroy the health care system that has been the envy of the world and it will strike a lethal blow to our economy. Like power hungry politicians with blinders on, liberals running our ship of state are ignorant to the damage they are and will continue to inflict on the American people.

Loose axel-rods are very dangerous to the proper operation of the vehicle. They can get extremely squeaky and if excessive vibration is present, the can shake a screw loose. The current axel-rod seems to have a screw loose. He stated that Republican governor victories in VA and NJ had nothing to do with national politics, even though The Obama campaigned for the loser many times in both states. But, the NY 23 race, in which The Obama never participated was a referendum in support of administrations policies. You've got to be kidding! A noisy, squeaky, screw-loose axel-rod is a very entertaining thing.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
Virginia got a lot redder tonight. A state that went for Obama just one year ago and had a Democratic Governor for the past eight years did an about face tonight by overwhelming electing Republicans, Bob McDonnell Governor, Bill Bolling, Lt. Governor and Ken Cuccinelli Attorney General.
Let¹s take a closer look at the Virginia State races:
Governor: The Republican candidate Attorney General Bob McDonnell ran against Democrat State Senator Creigh Deeds. There was no third party candidate. Bob McDonnell ran a textbook campaign. His campaign was on message disciplined and effective. He stuck to the issues of most concern to Virginians and he looked like a Governor. McDonnell concentrated on the economy, creating and keeping jobs in the state, being fiscally responsible and tackling the transportation challenges in congested Northern Virginia.
Creigh Deeds campaign was not focused and all over the map. He was a poor communicator and campaigner and he was hard to pin down as to what exactly he was for and was wishy washy with regard to increasing taxes or cutting spending to grow the economy. President Obama had no coattails for Deeds in spite of the numerous personal appearances and television ads in his behalf.
The Deeds campaign paled against the well-oiled machine that McDonnell was able to build and maintain throughout the entire campaign cycle. If McDonnell is as effective a Governor as he was a campaigner then he is someone to watch on the national stage in the very near future. There was not a single part of the Virginia that did not turn out for McDonnell. He resonated in rural, suburban and urban Virginia.
Lt Governor: Bill Bolling the incumbent Lt. Governor made a very good decision when he decided to run again for Lt. Governor and not primary Bob McDonnell for Governor and in fact agreed to support McDonnell early on.
This allowed McDonnell and Bolling to run as a team. In Virginia the Lt.
Governor and the Governor run independently. The decks are clear now for Bolling to run for Governor in four years. Bolling won handily tonight. His opponent was Democrat Jody Wagner a former member of Governor Kaine¹s Cabinet serving as Finance Secretary from 2006-2008. Ms. Wagner had little name recognition in Virginia prior to entering the race and faced with a weak top of the ticket for Governor really never had a chance against the incumbent.
Attorney General: Republican State Senator Ken Cuccinelli had an easy win over State Delegate Steve Shannon. The issues that made a difference in this race were State¹s Rights, Gun Control, Government Spending, Immigration and Crime. Cuccinelli is a strong Conservative with bright-line positions that are clear and defined. His opponent never got out of attack mode and spent more time attacking Cuccinelli than advancing his own agenda. Cuccinelli like McDonnell enjoyed a lead over Shannon for most of the campaign.
The message delivered by voters tonight in Virginia is pretty clear.
Republicans are alive and well. If Republicans field good candidates, have a clear message and execute a well thought out and comprehensive campaign plan, they will win. It is as simple as that.

The NY Special Election to fill the vacant seat of Congressman McHugh is a mess. The district 23 seat in upstate New York has been a safe Republican seat for over a 100 years. We would not even be talking about it had Congressman McHugh not resigned to join the Obama Administration as Secretary of the Army. That is water over the dam. The Republican’s in district 23 selected Assemblywoman Scozzafava to be their candidate to fill the vacancy and she had the support of local, state and national Republican Committees. Then along comes Conservative multi-millionaire accountant Doug Hoffman who wanted to be a spoiler and challenge the socially moderate/liberal positions of the Republican nominee. Mr. Hoffman gets the attention of nationally recognized Republicans like Palin, Pawlenty and Thompson who agree to appear with him personally and in campaign ads and as a result he starts to make headway in the polls. High profile Republicans turning on their own coupled with the unlimited financial resources of the rich spoiler spelled the end to the Republican Candidate who just this past weekend dropped out of the race. But they story gets better. Not only does the Republican Scozzafava drops out but she endorses the Democrat in the race Bill Owens. Republicans need to get their act together if they are going to be able to exploit the opportunities that are available in 2010 to take back seats in the House and the Senate. Turing on their own after the primaries and selection processes for candidates has run its course will spell disaster for Republicans. For major national party leaders to come into states to campaign against Republicans should be unacceptable. I do not agree with some Republican candidates and office holders but will support them for the good of the party. You cannot sustain a party organization with a “every man for himself” strategy.

Contrary to our history and traditions, this administration has strong-armed a democratic neighbor into capitulating. Instead of backing the democratic country of Honduras, The Obama administration, with Hillary as the hit lady, has forced the Honduran government into an agreement to allow ousted "dictator-wannabe" Zelaya's return. The Honduran congress would still have to approve whether or not he can server the remainder of his 3 month term. We hope democracy prevails over this attempt at corrupting a democratic beacon in a sea of corruption. This is a dark day in the history of Latin America as what used to be the worlds protector and defender of freedom has sided with communist dictators and thugs the like of Castro, Chavez and Ortega.

We pointed out in yesterdays BLOG the waste in built in bureaucratic overhead. We repeat it here for emphasis: The current "first time home buyer" $8,000 credit cost the government $43,000 for each credit. The Cash-for-Clunkers $4,500 credit cost the government $24,000 for each credit. Now the White House is saying that 640,329 jobs have been created or saved because of the $159 billion in stimulus funds allocated as of Sept. 30. First off, how can you calculate a "saved" job? You can't! It's just more of their liberal propaganda. But for the sake of playing their game, let's calculate the cost of each supposed new job created or saved. If you take the $159 Billion spent so far and divide it by the supposed created or saved jobs of 640,329 you get an unbelievable cost of $248,309.00 for each job. Perhaps their new initiative will be to outlaw calculators. Stop the wasteful spending. If you want to put an extra hundred dollars in a citizens pocket, don't take it from him to begin with. CUT our taxes. If the government wanted to put $100 in someone's pocket, they would first confiscate $600, waste $500, give $100 back and claim they have been generous. Their is no end to their ignorance and stupidity. This is what happens when you surround yourself with Marxist and Mao lovers.

With much fanfare, queen Pelosi announced the cut-n-paste house ObamaCare bill. The monstrosity is over 1,900 pages. How do you take a 1,300 page bill, simplify it, and come out with a 1,900 page bill. Only in Washington and only by these power hungry liberals. Like a runaway train headed down the wrong track, regardless of what the American people want and regardless of what damage it will do to our economy and our health care. Ignoring simple improvements to our current system, such as cross-state competition and tort reform, they choose to have big government control and manage this overblown bureaucratic nightmare. Examples of government waste are all around us if you care to notice. The current "first time home buyer" $8,000 credit cost the government $43,000 for each credit. The Cash-for-Clunkers $4,500 credit cost the government $24,000 for each credit. This is typical government waste in full display. Do you expect ObamaCare to be any different?

Question: When will President Obama switch from campaign mode to governing mode?

Answer: When the President fires the campaign staff he has hired as Senior White House Staffers and Czars. The people who got the President to the White House are not necessarily the people to keep him there. The President is stuck in campaign mode. He is constantly blaming others including the former administration for all his woes. His campaign promises have yet to be delivered on and he seems to be unable to make decisions or advance policy beyond the promise. He has yet to deliver on Guantanamo. He is dithering on Afghanistan. He has flip flopped on a public option for health care. He is running the least transparent and open administration in history. He has made big promises on the economy that have not been met, specifically, the promise that the “stimulus” would prevent unemployment from rising above 8.5%. Unemployment nationally is now beyond 10% and in some urban areas in excess of 16%. He refuses to advance his own Bills on major campaign promises and leaves the heavy lifting to Congress. Saturday Night Live was correct in lampooning the President as someone who has done a lot of nothing. He needs to get off the golf course and into the Oval Office and lead. The first sign of a good leader is one who surrounds himself with people competent enough to help him govern. The campaign is over.

With our economy on the verge of worsening, this administration and Congress have no business trying to further saddle us with more debt and taxes. Government programs have always come in multiple times over their estimated cost. This has been shown in all government programs. Programs that when started seem to grow out of control like weeds. The only way that this take over of our health care system would be budget neutral would be to raise taxes and severely ration care. This would further burden our struggling economy. We should be curtailing all spending increases and cutting taxes to allow the private sector to grow and create jobs. Government doesn't create, it confiscates. Spreading the wealth and trickle up theories have been shown to be economic disasters in all countries of the world where they have been tried. We should emulate success not follow this administrations Marxists buddies into the rubble of human history.

The campaigner-in-Chief was at it again yesterday. It's not unusual for a president to attend fundraisers, what is unusual is that this president has never stopped campaigning. He was a senator not an executive. He's a debater not a decider. When he does make decisions they are usually on the far left end of the spectrum. Siding with our enemies and pushing policies that hurt our country. In Afghanistan, the policy that The Obama backed and the general he put in charge are being let down by his indecision. The cover is a delay due to the Afghanistan redo election. A redo that was not called for by the losing candidate, it was caused by the US through the UN. Our troops on the ground are being put in unnecessary danger because of this administrations political wavering. Generals on he ground need to be given the resources they require to meet their objectives. Regardless of the government in Afghanistan, this is about our national security and denying a base to those terrorist that are hell bent on our destruction.

The US Constitution states that treaties that we enter into and are approved by Congress take precedence over the Constitution itself. In December, the nations of the world will gather in Copenhagen, Denmark to vote on the Copenhagen Accord. This accord would surrender our national sovereignty to a "New World Government". This government would penalized the west for it's use of carbon fuels and transfer trillions of dollars to the third world. Our economy and future would be destroyed. Although the facts show that global temperatures have gone down since 1998 and that the projection is for additional cooling until 2030, the environmental wackos, of which our president is a leader, refuse to see the truth. Even when proven factually wrong, they keep consuming Gore's pollution. The White House has stated that The Obama is not planning on attending the Copenhagen Accord talks. Unfortunately his acceptance of the Nobel "Appeasement" Prize nearby does not give us much room for comfort.

I believe the medical definition for what the president and his staff are suffering from is “transference”. Regardless of the issue, they continue to blame the prior administration for their current inability to make decisions. The Obama administration yet again, went after the Bush administration on Afghanistan and accused it of ignoring Afghanistan and not having a strategy. They claimed Bush had no policy and that they are now faced with tough choices because of Bush’s inaction. The truth is that the Bush administration did a top to bottom analysis of the situation in Afghanistan prior to leaving office. They gave the incoming administration the courtesy and respect of giving the report to them and telling them of their intention to make the classified report public prior to leaving office. The Obama Transition Team asked the Bush administration not to publicly release the report and they complied. The Bush report on Afghanistan was the basis of President Obama’s Afghan Policy that he announced in March and was the basis by which he sent thousands of U.S. Troops into Afghanistan just months ago. The Obama administration was hoping that they could get away with yet another Bush bashing because the Bush Report is still classified and they control it. I say release the report to the public and let’s see what’s in it. The reason they won’t is that it is clear that the Bush administration’s report is comprehensive and they did ask all the right questions and took into account the changing circumstances with regard to the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The Obama administration is indecisive and therefore seeks to delay their duty by blaming others. It is more of a campaign tactic than a governing style. Sooner or later the president will be forced to make a decision with regard to further American involvement in Afghanistan. This president owns the economy and he will soon own Afghanistan too. There is no one else to blame.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
As a lawyer, I am very concerned with a “government official” interfering with privately made contracts, regardless of the subject matter. The facts are that these executive compensation contracts were made and absent a breach, should be honored. Freedom of contract is fundamental to a free market economy. For those companies that the government still retains a ownership interest, then, it should use all the leverage available to reduce excessive executive compensation pursuant to the contract, by-laws, etc of that corporation. The government should not gain any special rights not available to other stockholders or creditors. For those companies that the government has no ownership interest or is not owed monies, then, it should not meddle into the affairs of private corporations. It is up to the board of directors and the shareholders of corporations to govern and set policy. The federal government should be in the business of setting reasonable regulation and oversight over financial services not ownership and control. While I do not agree at all with the decisions of some corporations to generously compensate their executives, especially in these economically challenged times, I must take the side that honors contracts as written. Unless a breach of contract claim can be maintained by a party with standing to bring such a claim, then, the contract must stand and be allowed to run its course. I do not believe the U.S. Government has the standing to bring such a claim. In any event, the fact that a “Czar” is unilaterally acting with authority over private corporations without any statutory authority to do so, is more troubling to me than the wrong he seeks to right.

The unprecedented presidential policy and efforts to undermine critics of the president and his administration are dangerous and unsettling. The fact is that we live in a divided country. Just look no further than the last few national elections and you will see how 50/50 our nation is. President Obama did not win in a landslide, over 47% if the country voted against him. The president set the tone early on when he sought to silence any opposition when he said this, “hey, I won the election, not you, we are in charge and we are going to do this, either you are going to jump on board and help us, or you are wasting your time, and ours. The American People have chosen us to lead”. Why with everything on his plate, the president would demean his office and take the time to go after FOX, Rush, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and others as a presidential initiative is beyond rational behavior. His attacks only seek to galvanize support for those he is attacking and further divides an already polarized population. This was suppose to be the Administration that reaches across the aisle and was to be the most transparent in history. The attacks by those opposed to the president’s policies are based mainly on the complaint that this administration has been everything but transparent or inclusive. Bills are not available to the public online as promised before votes are taken. The process of making legislation is made behind closed doors not on C-Span as promised. Republicans are not allowed to participate in the process unless they agree to support it in advance. Legislators are called to vote on major pieces of legislation without the benefit of reading the Bills they are called to vote on. Czars have been selected to oversee important government agencies and policy within the Executive Branch without Senate Confirmation and legal and financial disclosures or FBI background checks. The White House needs to get out of the bunker and shed the defensive posture towards their opposition. If you are taking significant time to defend then you are not leading. This Administration has it all, they have the Presidency and the House and Senate with historic majorities. They should be able to do what they want, whenever they want, but they can’t. They can’t govern effectively, not because of Republicans, but because of obstructing Democrats. They can’t turn on their own so they need boogiemen. It is a terrible strategy and one that has and will continue to hurt Democrats. In a few weeks Virginia will elect a Republican Governor and New Jersey might as well. This will be a blow that will be a indicator of things to come in the midterm elections to Democrats all across the country. Who will they blame for that?

For the last 8 days I have lived the health care debate with a view of the ceiling in my ICU room.   Heading to the ER with a hundred and three degree fever and an EKG that had ups and downs like a Six Flags roller coaster, I knew I was in the best place on earth to get the care that would save my life. After coming down with the H1N1 flu, which quickly created a Bi-Lateral Pneumonia, the care I received was excellent, professional and without any emphasis on payment. Unlike in socialist government run health care systems in other parts of the world, I did not have to wait in line, the ER was not closed and the best medicines were available to me. The liberals slight of hand to try and cram socialized ObamaCare down our throats has some "fuzzy" math associated with it:
Tax for ten years but only implement the plan after 4 years (the books look better this way).
A 245 Billion dollar doctor payoff (in a separate bill with no funding so it doesn't drag down our "fuzzy" numbers)
Insure the 45 million uninsured Americans (oops, we mean 30 million because illegal aliens were not supposed to be included).
After implementation of ObamaCare everyone would be covered (except for 15 plus million that would still NOT have coverage)
Ok, let's see if we have this right, in order to insure "all" Americans, we will take over one sixth of our economy, leave 15 million uninsured and destroy the best health care system in the world. Sounds like a great plan.

History will ultimately judge the wisdom of American interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, but it is nonsense to compare either with Viet Nam. When we left Viet Nam, the Viet Cong simply went back to their paddy fields. They had neither the desire nor the ability to come after us. That is not the case today in the Mid East if we do not subdue Islamic terrorism.

Perhaps the Nobel Peace Prize should be renamed the Nobel "Appeasement" Prize. Since The Obama took office he has been working to fulfill his campaign promise to "transform America". He has apologized for the United States at every opportunity possible. While turning his back on our allies, Honduras, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Israel, he failed to initially condemn the Iranian violence against it's own people and has been friendly with the likes of Chavez. He seems to be at war with Tea Parties and grass roots Americans who love this country and don't want to see it "transformed". The peace he should be making is with the American people.

The Obama tactics to pass his socialist policies is to scare the American people into believing that time is of the essence. If we delay, the sky will fall. The "Spendulus" bill had to pass or we would see unemployment go over 8% nationally, Obama said. They rushed it through and unemployment is now 9.9%. Only 40% of the "Spendulus" money has been spent. If it was such a time sensitive problem, why hasn't it been spent? It's not about stimulus, it's about growing government, solidifying liberal rule and union control. Reducing taxes on business by the amount of the stimulus would have turned our economy around by now. Liberals don't like that option because it puts power in the hands of the individual and takes it away from them. Why do decisions that will wreck our economy have to be made overnight, without thorough vetting, but decisions of whether to back our military have to be reviewed Ad nauseam?

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
If one is totally objective, this award was given on the promise of things to come. It could not possibly have been given on accomplishment. The World is a much more dangerous and less “peaceful” place since President Obama took office. North Korea continues to thumb its nose at the international community with regard to nuclear weapons and missile firings. Iran has stepped up their nuclear weapons program and continues to test missiles in a show of defiance. The US is slowing down our military operations is Iraq while escalating our military operations in Afghanistan. If apologies alone, are a criteria by which it gets you a medal then for sure our President deserves the “gold”. Pandering and apologizing may get you a medal but it will not get our country or the World the Peace that the Nobel Prize is suppose to stand for.

The One has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Reminds us of another Presidential embarrassment of our time, Jimmy Carter. Seems being critical of the United States and appeasing our enemies puts one in great stead with the Nobel Committee. This award is like giving a track sprinter a medal for leaving the starting blocks because you "feel" he looked good doing it. Failure and consequences of your actions are not considered. The Obama reminds us of the Fence Post Turtle, "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, and he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, and you just wonder what kind of complete moron put him up there to begin with."

Only in Washington can a new program "estimated" at $829 Billion be seen as a cost saver. The new CBO estimate also states that with the Baucus-ObamaCare plan by 2019, 94% of Americans would have health insurance. That leaves 25 million without insurance. Wasn't that the reason to go down this socialized path to begin with? To pay for this program, Medicare will be cut, health care will be rationed and taxes will be raised. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to see through the stupidity of following this path. Ignore all the examples of socialized health care failures around the world and make the same mistakes, fits this plan to a T.

Wars should be avoided whenever possible but when engaged, they must be fought with all the resources necessary to achieve victory. When our military commanders on the ground make requests in order to secure victory, it should be the politicians role to provide that support. Our country would be well served if this administration and congress would allow our military to run their military matters. American soldiers are putting their lives on the line every day, we owe them nothing less than to give them all the resources to complete their mission.

Lab coat photo-op, what a joke. Selected doctors where invited to the white house for another Obama sales pitch on ObamaCare. Doctors where forced to put on white lab coats for the speech and photo-op. Most doctors in the U.S. are against the government run public option and 1 in 4 doctors say they'll quit their practice if the public option becomes law. It makes perfect sense that a doctor would not want a bureaucratic panel between him and his patient.   Health care decisions are better left between doctor and patient, this is a personal freedom issue not a political one.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
The President and the Democrats are causing alarm by not letting General McChrystal testify before Congress. It appears that the President is stuck between Iraq and the hard place of Afghanistan. This is major decision that he and the Democrats want to control. For a President who claims to be transparent you can’t see through anything he does. The Democrats recall what happened when General Petreaus testified up on the Hill prior to the Surge. He presented himself as knowledgeable, sincere, capable and credible. They do not want a repeat of that. After Petreaus testified, it made it very difficult to attack him and he became a household name. They do not want the public to know McChrystal or to testify because he would present the same attributes as General Petreaus. It is easier to go against a man no one knows. The Democrats in Congress demanded that General Petreaus testify prior to the Surge. The Bush Administration did not seek to block his testimony because they had faith and trust in him and his abilities. The problem with this White House is they do not want McChrystal to testify precisely because of his presence and abilities. The President is dreading the heady decision he must make on Afghanistan, but, the longer he delays the worse it gets, militarily and politically.

The Obama and congressional lib's are hinting at a possible second "Spendulus" bill to stimulate the economy. Their solution is always "tax and spend". The must-have-or-disaster-will-strike "Spendulus One" was supposed to prevent unemployment beyond 8%. Now it's close to 10% with only 40% of "Spendulus One" having been spent. It's not about stimulus, it's about power and control. The economy should be the number one priority right now, not passing a massive health care bill that will further burden our struggling economy. "Spendulus Two" should not even be a twinkle of a thought and should dissipate as quickly as the morning dew.

With 263,000 more Americans losing their jobs in September and the national unemployment rate close to 10%, why are we even considering the ObamaCare bill? No matter which way you look at it, this bill would add an extra burden on our economy at a time when we should be reducing the red tape and shackles that hinder small businesses. These businesses are the backbone of our economy, we should be reducing their tax burden allowing them to grow and create jobs. It's been proven to work in the past and will work again. Government trying to stimulate the economy is like taking a bucket of water out of one end of the pool and pouring into the other. "It's the economy STUPID!"

Arguments could be made that Thug-Land (formally known as Chicago) is the most corrupt city in the nation. It's not unusual for Chicago politicians to end up in jail. It's not unusual for Illinois governors to end up in jail. Teen gang violence is out of control in Chicago as Chicago has now surpassed New York as the murder capital of the U.S.. Shady real estate deals as with The Obama and Resko are common place. Having the Olympics come to Chicago would only enrich The Obama's cronies and further punish the low income residents trapped in that liberal hell hole.

Although the vast majority of Americans are happy with their current health care, this "big-government" administration and congress is intent on forcing disastrous "change". Government programs do not stay within budget and always cost many times more than their projected amounts. The excuse they use is to curtail the cost increases that have always been a part of our health care. What they don't tell us is that socialist government systems elsewhere in the world, cost increases occur and they occur at a higher rate than in our system. That's even taking into account their wait times and rationing. This is primarily due to their bureaucratic overhead. Power and control is what's on the line here. Forcing people to buy health insurance is unconstitutional. It's not the governments role to play nanny and get involvement in every aspect of our lives. Americans cherish their freedom and this attempt on usurping that freedom is going too far.

Democrats continue their in-fighting on the "public option". While the far left lib's demand it, the less far left lib's know the public is against it. We hope that this struggle continues and causes a reassessment of the principles that true reform demands. Socialized systems in place in other countries, that resemble ObamaCare, are failures. Costly bureaucratic monstrosities. These government systems cause needless hardships and ration care. An alternative of private sector solutions accompanied by Tort reform would do wonders to solve some of the problems we face today. Baring this approach, not making changes to the current system is preferable to destroying it.

With The Obama's war in Afghanistan spiraling out of control, we ignore the generals on the ground at our peril. Obama has met with David Letterman more often than with General McChrystal. The General has just submitted a 65 page report to Defense Secretary Gates in which he requests up to 40,000 more US troops to turn the war around. Our inaction shows weakness to our enemies. If we're in this war to win, we must use overwhelming force. Our enemies are cowards that hide behind women, children and the elderly. They bomb indiscriminately without any regard for collateral damage. We cannot continue to fight against this evil with one hand tied behind our backs. Giving up in Afghanistan is not an option.

When former Honduran president Zelaya turned against the Honduran Constitution and attempted to remain in office past his term limit, he was deported by the military. His own political party was against what he was doing. A member of that very same party, Martinelli, became the interim president. Zelaya has been charged with treason. The Honduran government continues to follow their constitution and has called for free elections to be held in November. The United States should be standing firm behind this democratic neighbor, instead we are standing with the likes of Castro, Chavez, Ortega and Lula da Silva. Brazilian President and Communist sympathizer Lula da Silva approved the smuggling of Zelaya into the Brazilian Embassy in Honduras. From there, Zelaya is encouraging violent street protest to "illegally" bring him back to power. Lula has refused to criticize communist Cuba in the past so as not to be seen as "meddling" in the internal affairs of another country. Yet it's OK for Lula to actively participate in the overthrow of a democratic Honduras by being an accomplice to violent revolution. The Obama refused to criticize the Iranian crackdown during the demonstrations against that countries rigged election. The Obama didn't want to be seen as "meddling" in the internal affairs of another country. Why then does The Obama feel it's OK to meddle in the internal affairs of a democratic neighbor? Could it be that these communist sympathizing liberal idealogs are two birds of a feather? You be the judge. With this administration, the light is dimming on what Reagan termed, "That shining city on a hill".

We're sure The Obama live "chat" with school children, K-6, on September 8th didn't have anything to do with this but the indoctrination song makes you wonder. With words like:
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black and white, all are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
Yeah! Barack Hussein Obama
The communist amongst us are showing their true colors. Would we have heard such a song being forced upon our children about Bush? This taken along with California's new rules to push teaching of Islamic Studies to seventh graders should cause us great concern. In those teachings, Christianity is shown to be an intolerant and violent religion while Islam is portrayed as being for equality and peace. They teach that women under Shariah law are respected. What a bunch of bunk. Islamic scholar and author Nonie Darwish, who grew up Muslim in Egypt said, "I am shocked that that is what they teach," she said. "Women had more rights in Arabia before Shariah." In fact, "wife beating is allowed under Shariah" today, she added. "It allows a woman seen without a headdress to be flogged, punishes rape victims, and calls for beheading for adultery."
Where are the women's rights groups in this debate? Why aren't they shouting from the roof tops? Could it be that political power is more important to these bleeding-heart socialist libs than the truth. GOD help us.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
Are you kidding me? The President used a press conference to announce that Iran is building a second Uranium-Enrichment Plant? He had a golden opportunity yesterday, as the Chair of the UN Security Council to present the case against Iran. This could have been his “moment”, ala Ambassador Adlai Stevenson, to present the irrefutable evidence that Iran in violation of international law and treaty, has been building a secret uranium-enrichment plant. Why did the President let slip away the perfect forum to bring the Iranians to task before the World Community? Isn’t that what the Security Council is suppose to be for for? Is the case of nuclear proliferation by rogue regimes not important enough? The President most surely knew all the facts yesterday that he announced today. This should have been debated and Iran should have been called before the Council to defend itself. The President was intentionally derelict or grossly negligent in this missed opportunity. He had the President of Iran in New York. He had most if not all of the World Leaders who make up the Security Council in New York. All members of the Security Council should have had their feet put to the fire and either condone this illegal activity or condemn it and seek serious measures to correct it. Sadly, President Obama will turn out to be the Neville Chamberlain of our time.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
UN General Assembly Speech: D-. The President of the United States once again came before an international body hat in hand. He once more apologized for America. He said in effect that an era had passed to him in which America acted recklessly and and without regard to the greater World Community and that under his watch that would change. He projected weakness and seemed ashamed our our greatness, power and duty as the leader of a freedom and humanitarian principles for all peace loving people. He refused to make declaratory statements affirming our goal in Afghanistan to wipe out the Taliban. The President’s loudest applause came when he condemned Israel’s actions with regard to West Bank Settlements. Another applause getter, was when our President announced that the United States “no longer condones torture”. We never did condone it. The UN also reacted enthusiastically to the announcement that the US will rejoin the Human Rights Council. A body that is a hodge podge of despots and cooks, that routinely acts in disregard of our Nations most fundamental principles. The President announced a “new era of engagement” that represents for him four goals, 1. Riding the World of Nuclear Weapons. It is a nice goal to have but what about in the here and now preventing rogue nations like North Korea and Iran from getting them first. 2. Preserving the planet. Certainly that is in our best interest. However, we could be the cleanest and most responsible country on the Planet and unless others, like China and India are as responsible as we are it is all for naught. 3. The pursuit of peace. This is always a goal America should strive for. However, a peace at any price policy is no peace at all. The President does not want to rock the boat and seeks to befriend everyone. America must take tough stands and stand with those who deserve our support first and foremost, like Israel and stand against those to seek to harm us and our friends and allies, like North Korea and Iran seek to do. 4. Support a Global Economy that advances opportunity for all. Who can argue with that? The problem lies with the inequity placed by others on the US that they themselves refuse to abide by.

National Security Council Chair: F. This was an historic meeting with an embarrassing result. It was the first time in the UN Security Council’s history that an American President Chaired a meeting. So you would think it to be a meeting that was important and worthy of the history it made. Quite the contrary, it was a grand display of weakness and naiveté. Instead of appearing for the United States at the UN Security Council to strongly condemn and try to halt the nuclear proliferation by two known and unabashed nation states that are actively seeking nuclear weapons, North Korea and Iran, the President and other Security Council Members unanimously passed a Resolution seeking the elimination of all nuclear weapons from the Earth. The resolution is unenforceable and not worth the paper it is written on. This is leadership? No, this is appeasement. It shows an unwillingness to stop those who flaunt international law and treaty and will only seek to embolden them and others to act in defiance. Reagan said it very well, “peace through strength”. If we are weak, peace will never be sustained or sustainable. It should have been a meeting that dealt strongly and directly with the threats posed by North Korea and Iran in meaningful and measurable ways.

In grading President Obama’s UN performance, you need look no further than the endorsements from the UN Podium from the likes of Chavez and Kahdafi that our President received, to know how he is being thought of by the most ruthless dictators on the Planet. They like him very very much.

Three terror plots were prevented this week by human intelligence and information gathering capabilities which this administration is undermining. You can't wish the "War on Islamic Terror" away. It's also just come to light that there will be a net decrease of 384 agents on the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal year 2010. This decrease was confirmed by Border Patrol Director of Media Relations Lloyd Easterling. It has also been determined that Iran is building a second uranium enrichment plant. It's a very dangerous world we live in and weakness invites attacks. The president should call off the dogs savaging our intelligence services and increase, not decrease, our border security.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
Why is the the Federal Government seeking to “gag” Humana?

The real question that should be asked is, did Humana break any Laws? If not, it is wholly inappropriate for the government to interfere in the contractual communications between a business and its customer. A business has every right to make their customer aware of possible legislation that will effect their insurances coverage. It is an opinion letter nothing more. The Congress, Administration and the Executive branch may not be reading the draft Bills but, I can assure you the insurance companies are. They are not only reading the Bills, they have teams analyzing every word to determine what effect its provisions will have on their businesses. Are the insurance companies suppose to remain silent? Do they not have a duty to their customers to keep them informed as to possible major changes to their coverage’s? The government spends tens of millions of tax payer dollars a year “communicating” with its constituents, why then, should private companies be prevented from doing the same thing? The Democrats are taking a very heavy handed approach with anyone or any entity that sounds the alarm or tries to educate the American People with regard to the health care they seek to enact. They demonize those who attend town hall meetings or take to the streets in protest and now they seek to silence an industry, the Democrats would like to see disappear. If Government ran health care, which is the Democrats “Holy Grail”, there would be no dissent and no recourse. You get what the Government gives you. America is not prepared for that and it is the duty of insurance companies to prevent their own demise.

Yesterday Glenn Beck covered the Stupid Frogs analogy on his Fox TV show. It is important for people to understand that what The Obama is doing to citizens of this great country is tantamount to the slow boiling of a frog. Seemingly benign changes are made to the systems of our economy and government that morph into loss of freedom and personal liberty. Over time we become slaves and servants of an over intrusive and powerful central state. This in exchange for security and stability? There is no security or stability in servitude, only the erosion and demise of the human spirit.

Beyond spending, what will the President and Congress have accomplished by the end of this year?

Answer: Not much. 1. Cap and Tax will not get signed and will remain a huge energy increase looming for every American. The President himself said that in order for use to be “cleaner” it will cost Americans dearly in the way of higher electric and gas bills. 2. Health Care will remain undone. The Democrats will not be able to carry the day and come up with a compromise resulting in a single Bill they can be for. 3. The President will be unable or unwilling to make the tough decisions on a surge in troops in Afghanistan and will delay making the tough decisions that need to be made. 4. The White House has no trouble appointing Czars but, cannot fill the hundreds of Senate Confirmed Executive Branch appointments that remain unfilled. 5. The Administration will have accomplished little is the oversight and regulation of our financial services sectors. They will not have cleaned house nor will they have instituted the necessary and reasonable measures to insure we do not suffer another financial disaster. 6. The President will have done nothing to make good on his promise to take a “scalpel” to our national budget and we will have seen the largest increase in spending in our Nations history. 7. For all is conciliatory rhetoric about North Korea and Iran, the World is a much more dangerous place. Both North Korea and Iran continue to thumb their noses at International Law and are proceeding to develop nuclear weapons and make statements threatening their neighbors and the World Community. 8. There is the danger that the President desperate to show some international “leadership” will get bogged down in a Middle East “Peace”. The Middle East has always been an area that President’s have gravitated to when things aren’t going their way at home. 9. There has been no leadership on Immigration beyond speeches and a promise that the 12 million illegals’ that are here will not get health care. A promise that is unenforceable. 10. By the close of 2009, America under the Obama Administration would have nationalized more GNP than our Founding Father’s could have dreamed. They will have increased our national spending by trillions and added trillions to our deficit. Their historic spending will only been matched by the reductions in revenue brought into the Treasury. 11. At a time when the economy is the number one issue with Americans across the board, we will have seen an Administration who manufactured a crisis on health care to the detriment of the real crisis and concern, the economy. 2009 has left our Nation weakened, economically, militarily, socially and spiritually.

Expect continued capitulation as The Obama addresses the United Nations. A forum, though based on American soil and with the U.S. as it's biggest benefactor, continues it's anti-U.S. bias and diatribes. The capitulation will most likely be accompanied by some unilateral economic and geo-strategic concessions. Although many Americans turned a blind eye to the "big picture", The Obama did not hide his true intentions. The following photo from the 2008 Presidential campaign proves it:

The Obama's willingness to "take a look" at supporting legislation that would "bail-out" failing newspapers is yet more evidence of big governments overreaching. Our economic system has been the envy of the world. It has created unequaled advances in all areas on human endeavors. It's basis is a capitalist system which works best with minimal regulations and government interventions. For this system to function, failures must be allowed. Failures are part of the risk and reward that make up the core. We're a free people, and with this freedom comes, the freedom to fail. Through failure we sometimes gain the most. We teach our children to learn from their mistakes. What would life be like if we were to not allow any failure at all? This strategy would in fact cause the biggest failure, the entire system would break down. Bailing out failed auto companies was a mistake. Bailing out failed newspapers would only compound the problem. Having government involved in the newspaper industry would also create a propaganda monster from which the free voices of opposition could be stifled.

Democrats are decrying the need for “civility” and pleading for “calm” in all public discourse. This is a grand diversion by a failed majority to deflect attention away from themselves and their own ineptness. Where were they, when for eight long years they attacked relentlessly and recklessly all things Bush. MoveOn.org aired a commercial morphing President Bush into Adolph Hitler. How many millions of Soros and other left wing radicals dollars went into that? Let us not forget MoveOn.org’s full page “General Betrayus” ad. Where was the out cry by the Democrats for civility? When marchers organized by left wing groups fanned out across the country with signs alleging Bush and other senior officials to be Nazis and murderers, where was the Democrats condemnation? Where was the civility and decorum, when a sitting Speaker of the House and Majority Leader of the Senate called a sitting President a liar? Granted those statements were not made on the floor of their respective bodies but, they were made in government buildings and in their official capacities. All of a sudden, when things aren’t going their way and the shoe is on the other foot, the Democrats are asking to be treated differently from what they have dished out and encouraged against their opposition for years. The dissent that has been exhibited towards the President and Congress today, is a lot tamer than what they gave out. There is an old saying, “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen”. There will be a whole host of new chefs ready to cook up just what America is hungry for in 2010. The Democrats have been handed all branches of government with high majorities and they have failed to lead to date.

Speaker Pelosi warns of "political" violence and says that , "people have a right to say what they think and believe". She fails to mention that she is one of the main instigators of the current discontent in the country and in congress (listen to her by clicking here).   When she labels Americans from all walks, races and political affiliations as "Astroturf", she is guilty of incitement. She also speaks of the balance between "freedom" and "safety". The atrocity in our current government, in which she is one of the main players, reminds of this great Samuel Adams quote:
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

When Sen. Max Baucus (D Mont.) announced his health care bill, the gang of "bi-partisan" senators ran for the hills. No other senator in the group has signed on. Baucus labeled his bill as "progressive". OK, let's do a little math:
Progressive = Liberal
Progressive Health Care Bill = Liberal Health Care Bill
Public Co-op's = Public Option-Lite
Baucus Health Care Bill = Government Health Care
Government Health Care = ObamaCare
A scam by any other name is still a scam. There are three simple steps that would lower health care costs:
Tort reform.
Allow health insurance companies to compete across state lines.
Allow doctors and hospitals to deduct the care that is given to people without health care insurance.

President Obama was a lawyer for ACORN, he was an instructor for ACORN and ACORN is scheduled to receive 8 BILLION dollars from the "Spendulus" bill. The President also told ACORN that their counsel would be a central part of his administration. ACORN has been shown to be a corrupt, outlaw organization involved in voter fraud and voter intimidation. Now, undercover film has shown ACORN employees in 4 different cities advising strangers of how to break the law and avoid paying taxes. They also encourage underage prostitution using illegal aliens.

When The Obama and his liberal friends speak of the "Global War on Terror" they use their politically correct term, "Overseas Contingency Operations". But when they speak of our intelligence services they say, "Torture" instead of "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques". It's always blame America first and do whatever possible to be "liked" by our enemies. That foolishness will be our undoing. Is "killing" less harmful than "torture"? The president can sign off on targeting a terrorist for "elimination" but "Torturing" would have been out of the question by his "White House" interrogation squad. Makes sense to us!

Media hypocrisy can be seen not only by how they word their articles and statements but also what they don't say or cover. On Saturday after the huge rally in DC against the socialist take over of health care, their online story was 5th on their highlight list and said that "2,000 activist" gathered at the Capitol. On Sunday the story wasn't even listed on CNN online. Take a look at the picture shown here. Does that look like "2,000 activists"? This administration and their accomplices in the media continue to ignore and put the American people down. They do this at their own peril. The reckoning is coming.

9/11 is not a time for community service. It's a time to remember the worst attack on our country. It's a time to remember the innocent victims of that terrorist attack. It's a time to remember their families and all those brave first responders that lost their lives saving their fellow Americans. It's a time to remember the brave men and women that have lost their lives or been injured fighting against the evil that was evident on 9/11. The Obama not only did not go to New York to commemorate the event, he never used the term "terrorist attack". Adding insult to injury, this administration and their fearless leader want to change 9/11 from a memorial and reminder of the war we're in, to a national day of "community service". Releasing terrorists, releasing interrogation procedures and investigating the CIA are what this administration believes in. Give me a break! America, there's a wolf in the hen house.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
On September 11, 2001, I was the Deputy Assistant to the President for Appointments and Scheduling, essentially the President's Gate Keeper. It was a beautiful September morning in DC. I arrived at my West Wing Office at the usual time, 6:15 am and prepared for the 7:30 am Senior Staff Meeting in the Roosevelt Room. The President and Chief of Staff Card were in Florida and Josh Bolten was the highest ranking staffer at the White House besides the Vice President. After the Senior Staff Meeting, I went back to my office on the first floor of the West Wing and began my normal office routine. As was my habit, I constantly had a news station on my office TV. I always kept volume down even during meetings, so I could immediately respond to news as it was happening. As I was doing my work, I heard reports being broadcast of a commuter plane that struck one of the towers of the World Trade Center. The story immediately grabbed my attention for several obvious and not so obvious reasons, the oddity of the accident, I am from NY and my Brother at the time, was a Commissioner of the Port Authority of NY/NJ which owns the Trade Center Towers. Needless to say, I was glued to the coverage, and I witnessed live the second plane strike the other Trade Center Tower. Like Cesar, I knew immediately at that time, that America was under attack and said so to my assistant. I immediately went into the Situation Room and heard and saw Josh Bolten swing into action. The West Wing Staff met in the White House Mess and were given instructions on evacuation and immediately after the briefing did so. I went to a off site location with about 100 plus staffers and I was the highest ranking staffer at that location. We all went to work. We wanted to know what other President's had done after the Marine Barracks Bombing in Lebanon, the Murrow Building Bombing in Oklahoma, the first World Trade Center Bombing, Etc. We wanted to compile a historical press prospective of how they reported the events and we also wanted to know what former Presidents did for a period of two weeks from the events. When did they address the Nation, who did they meet with, how did their schedules change. During the time I was leading the staff from the off site location, my brother was calling me and my sister, as my nephew Tommy Jurgens a Senior Court Officer and combat trained army medic was reported to have left his court house to respond to the scene and was missing. As it turned out, my nephew lost his life saving others. He disregarded orders from his superiors to leave the building and went back in to rescue others. At approximately 5:30 pm, I released the majority of the staff from my location and just myself a few others returned to the White House to join other Senior Staff for a meeting in the Roosevelt Room. We prepared for the President's return to the White House and his Address from the Oval Office that night. We threw out the President's planned schedule for 2 weeks and scheduled meetings and appearances as events warranted. I got home that night at Midnight and returned to work on 9/12 at 6am. I was never more proud of my Country and those who serve as I was and continue to be during this time. Everyone swung into action and went to work unselfishly with a primary focus to do whatever it takes to be helpful. Two days after 9/11, I told Andy Card that my Nephew was missing and that I may want to return to NY on the weekend. He asked me if I had told the President and I said I did not. He told me to do whatever I needed to do. Within five minutes of telling Secretary Card that my Nephew was missing the President called me on the phone and told me he is praying for the safe return of my nephew and pledged to me that he will find those responsible and bring them to justice. No sooner did I hang up the phone then the President was at my desk and repeated those statements and shook my hand. If anyone watched after 9/11 the response of our government with a critical eye it was me. I know first hand what the President, Vice President and the entire administration did to keep us safe from further attacks and to bring those responsible to justice. I am so proud to have served during this time with patriots so focused in doing the right things for the right reasons. We can second the actions taken by the Bush Administration but one thing is for sure, those who served acted with the best of intentions and were singularly focused in preventing further harm to our citizens. The proof of their efforts is without question, we have not experienced further attacks at home and abroad since 9/11 and it is principally because of the actions taken by the Bush Administration and Congress including but not limited to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, FISA, the reorganization of our intelligence services, the creation of a Intelligence Czar, and yes the legal Interrogation of our enemies.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
One of the reasons why the President and his staff chose a Joint Address to Congress for his last ditch effort to save his plans for government controlled health care was because of the reception he would get from a room controlled by his party. The trouble is he is preaching to the choir. The American People surely will see through the show we saw tonight. The President’s safe harbor has been his cronies in Congress and in union halls. What the Democrats fail to realize is that the manufactured crisis of health care reform does not trump the real economic crisis we face today. The American People spoke out loud and clear this summer. They said to their legislators that they want jobs, not more government and more debt. They said, what good is “affordable health care”, if they cannot afford it because they do not have a job or have lost their home.

It was the President who set forth for an artificial deadline for health care legislation to be passed prior to the Congressional Summer Recess. He was the one who did not want debate or public input. He was the one who thought he could muscle through health care reform like he did the spending bill. He was the one who would not allow members to read, digest and debate the over 1000 page Bill that was offered in the House.

Now that his own Party has stopped him in his tracks on health care reforms, (out of the fear of growing government, ballooning deficits and most importantly worry over their own re-election), the President thinks style with trump substance by speechifying his way to health care legislation. It won’t work.

Tonight we heard nothing new. The President’s speech was the same old, same old. No news was made, just a desperate attempt to re-package a flawed policy.

If we are to believe the President that there is significant bipartisan agreement for 80% of the reforms he seeks, I say Mr. President, take the deal. Mr. President reform health care by instituting: 1. Tort reform; 2. Allowing portability of coverage; 3. Not allow denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions; 4. Allow insurance companies to compete in all 50 states; and 5. Get health care costs under control by eliminating fraud, mismanagement and abuse.

The American People spoke loud and clear this summer. They do not want a “public option”, nor do they want the door opened to the creation of a single payer government health care system.

If the President wanted a game changer tonight he would have offered his own Bill. He would have said that he would fight for it and that he would succeed. Instead, he said he is open and available for consultation and that it was Congress’ job to get him a health care bill he could sign. The President’s failure to lead will ultimately mark the death nil of Democratic health care reforms.

There's a huge disconnect between The Obama's words and his actions. He has a gift for speaking (when the teleprompter is working), but his words fall flat on a sea of misinformation. Make no mistake about this latest incarnation of ObamaCare, the goal is government control of our health care system. This translates into rationing, death panels and reduced innovation. The proof is in the history of these changes in other countries where they have been tried. The real changes that are needed, reduced government regulations to allow insurance companies to compete fairly across state lines and tort reform are no where to be found in ObamaCare.

Green Jobs Czar, Van Jones, was forced to resign when his past statements and speeches came to light. Jones is a self declared Communist. Both the president and first lady wanted him as part of the White House team. Now, all of a sudden, he's a persona-non-grata. Jones hasn't changed his opinions but so much light was shed on his speeches and comments that The Obama threw him under the bus. Just like he threw Wright, Ayers and Rezko under other buses. Seems like there's a trail of busses following this president around. If a person with a questionable past happens to make it into an administration, it would be reasonable to expect the resignation of such an individual. The issue with this president is he is in bed with these radicals. They are one of the same, believe in the same radical ideologies and blame the United States at every opportunity.

Son-of-ObamaCare is in the pipeline. As The Obama tries to resurrect what's left of socialist health care reform, the White House is labeling the new incarnation a product of The Obama himself. To say this is to deny that they agreed with the bills that passed the house and were being considered in the senate. Cuts in Medicare, "death panels" and the public option are principles that this administration, and specifically, The Obama agree with as they have stated in the past. Even though Son-of-ObamaCare may be a watered down version it will still be a vehicle to take us down the same road, socialized medicine and bankruptcy.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
Democrats should be very concerned about the President’s awful poll numbers, as they should be with Reid’s and Pelosi’s as well. The Democrats in 2009 came into power with an air of invincibility. The Democrats thought could do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, because they attained the “super majorities” in the House and Senate and they had a charismatic President that the People would blindly follow. Well, they could not have been more wrong. The American People are smart and did not take too kindly to the arrogance of power and incompetence of governing that the President and Congress have displayed to date. The American People are scared to death about the expansion of the federal government the ballooning budget and deficit. They are fearful of the their future, of their children’s futures and that of the Country. This is definitely not the “change” they had hoped for.

On another note: The President needs to fire Van Johnson now. His Green Czar is yet another example as to why “czars” are bad. They do not go through a confirmation process, they report only to the President and the White House and their powers are not defined. Had Van Johnson gone through the normal vetting procedures, he would have been exposed as a person that was unfit for high government service. The man is unstable, irrational and a disgrace to the President and the Nation. The fact that the President thought it was a good idea to have him serve his Administration is troubling at best and shows yet another critical lapse in judgment on his part.

President Obama has made more nationally televised and hyped up addresses to the Nation than any other President in modern history, at this point in his tenure as President of the United States. When he got into office he and his staff were banking on his “star power” to woo the Country into following his every directive. Well his star is fading fast and he is in danger of becoming a super nova instead of a super star. There is a saturation point to being too visible even for a President. This is the third or fourth time he has tried to sell or repackage his health care reforms. If you look back at when Presidents have chosen to address a Joint Session of Congress it it usually reserved for monumental events in our history, (FDR’s Address after the attack on Pearl Harbor or GWB’s Address after 9/11), not for restarting a failed sales job for a policy that a majority of Americans do not want.

"It's not over until the fat lady sings", well the fat lady is singing encores and the stubborn liberals/socialist, and The One, just don't get it. Plainly speaking, the public doesn't want the public option! Democrats have the numbers to pass ObamaCare without a single Republican vote but it seems some of them are listening to their constituents and not simply labeling them "domestic terrorists". It's the same grass roots American spirit that saved us from the immigration amnesty travesty. The general public made a mistake last November, they are now trying to limit the damage.

The Obama will give a propaganda speech to elementary kids on September 8, 2009. This PreK-6 brainwashing attempt is unprecedented. Could this be a planting of the socialist seed? These school years should be for reading, writing and arithmetic, not for political indoctrination. That is the procedure that Communist regimes around the world have used to bring up the next generation of loyal subjects. This attempt at subjugating our nations youth needs to be fought with all our abilities. Parents with children in PreK-6 should either keep their kids home in protest that day or go to school with them to monitor and counter this threat.

By keeping some distance from the particulars in ObamaCare, The Obama has the luxury of plausible deniability. He can claim he doesn't know a particle section or page in the "phone book" sized health overhaul legislation, but do not be fooled by this slight of hand. The basic premises in the legislation, especially the public option, is exactly what he wants and has categorically endorsed in the past.

Hats off to Dick Cheney for not sitting on the sidelines and allowing the current Administration, Congress and the Media to use him and the Bush Administration as their punching bag and scapegoats. Cheney stayed silent and allowed the Obama Administration to get their “sea legs”. He was respectful and did not plan on opining on any of the new Administrations actions. It was only after the Obama Administration, Congress and the Media went after Cheney and the former Administration that the gloves came off. Why on earth should the former Vice President stay silent and allow others to attack and distort? He has every right and an obligation to fight back for the truth. There is no better person to push back than Cheney. He was privy to information that few others were. The attackers were hopeful that they could get away with their disinformation and that Cheney and others would remain silent. They bet wrong. I hope that Cheney and others will continue to fight back when the Obama Administration, Congress and the Media seek to destroy their legacy. If the Democrats were smart, they would realize that America does not blame the Bush Administration for keeping us safe, they applaud it. If there is another attack on America on their watch, it will likely occur because of our perceived weakness created by their actions and the affirmative steps they took to retard our abilities to stay one step ahead of those who seek to do us harm.

Regardless of public discontent with and criticism of ObamaCare, the liberal leadership in congress will attempt to ram the socialist takeover of our health care through. Using obscure procedures called, reconciliation, they can pass this bill without Republican participation. It's shameful that they attempt to use Senator Kennedy's passing to do this in his name. Then again, this crowd has NO shame!

Rep. Diane Watson, California Democrat, recently touted Cuba's health care system and Fidel Castro as, "One of the brightest leaders I have ever met". She also says that Rush and people that think like him want The Obama to fail because he is black. When they loose the argument the seem to automatically pull out the race card. She believes that wanting this is wanting the United States to fail. It is dim bulbs like this which praise totalitarian socialist slavery like that of Cuba, and condemn our health care system, that are at the heart of the current debate. We want The Obama's socialist-big-government policies to fail because it's in these policies that America's own failure and destruction would come. We don't want to emulate the failed policies of socialism and communism. They have been proven to be destructive to the liberty and freedoms that are enshrined in our founding documents. Fools like Watson remind us of Albert Einstein's quote, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

With Senator Kennedy's passing, the dem's will attempt to manipulate and take advantage of a perceived "sympathy" vote. Calling ObamaCare, KennedyCare, will only serve to further enrage it's critics. A rose by any other name is still a rose, in this case though, it's not a rose but a pile of dong! There are private alternatives that would improve our health care system but big-government liberals are blinded by their power and zeal for government control. They simply do not trust the American people to make their own choices and they do not trust the private sector to provide the best options. Enabling doctors and hospitals to deduct care provided to the uninsured as well as tort reform would solve most of the current health care issues. The problem with this solution is that liberals wouldn't be in control of it and therefore could not claim credit for it. Their goal is not to fix anything, it is the outright quest for political power.

8-28-2009
The art of misdirection. If you are loosing the argument, change the subject. This administration is losing the health care debate because people had enough time to actually find out what was in it. They saw through the smoke screen and envisioned their health care choices being trampled. To change the subject, The Obama administration resurrected their attack on our intelligence services by going after those who have kept us safe since 9/11. This "politically correct" crowd releases terrorist to rejoin the war and target Americans, while at the same time, investigate Americans who defend our country. While we focus on this atrocity, their minions in congress work on a way to split the ObamaCare bill and ram it through.

We have communists in our mists! No more, "It could never happen here"! It is happening here. Most of us grew up in Christian/Judeo households which taught us right from wrong, good from bad and "you are who you associate with". Look at The Obama's associates, there's no question that he is surrounded by and advised by the very radicals our parents warned us about. Don't listen to his well spoken lies, look at his actions and those of his associates. At every turn this administration seeks to undermine the American way of life and weaken the defenses against our enemies. They use the tactics of information control and personal attacks to discredit their critics. Soon they will attempt to confiscate our defensive personal arms with their convoluted so called "gun control". In our opinion, "gun control is hitting what you aim at! After guns, they will attempt to silence opposing voices on the airwaves with local regulations and government restrictions that will cripple our first amendment rights. Left unchecked, this incursion into our liberty may mark the end of the great experiment that is, The United States of America. Every freedom loving American will rise to her defense as the forces of evil are flattened by the free will and heart of the American spirit!

The “death panel” has taken on a life of its own, and, the Democrats are to blame. Had they had a manageable Bill instead of a phone book, over 1,000 pages, that was streamlined and uncomplicated, this would not have occurred. No Member of the House could have possibly absorbed or understood H.R. 3200. The shear volume and technical language has lent itself to interpretation and speculation. The only remedy now is to kill the Bill. A vast majority of Americans do not want health care reform. They want the economy fixed, they want a job, they want the deficit reduced, and they want our national spending contained. If the Democrats were to fix the government health care they now provide, Medicare and Medicaid, and drastically reduce and eliminate the fraud mismanagement and abuse in those systems they would have done a lot. RIP H.R. 3200.

According to The Obama administration, this is the worst economy since the great depression. We're also fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with Afghanistan getting more convoluted day by day. The Obama is now on vacation, where is the outrage that the drive-by media showed when President Bush went to Crawford? With the socialist takeover of our health care system in the balance, the president takes a walk on the beach. Even with the administrations main-stream-media-propaganda-machine in full attack mode, they still can't cram the destruction of our health care system down our throats. Freedom loving Americans are winning the battle.

Obama’s “Yes we can” has been tempered by “no you won’t”. The American People are suffering economically. They are strapped. A majority believes that we cannot continue to spend and spend and spend passing on debt to future generations of Americans to solve today’s problems. When the American People voted in the Democrats they hoped that they would lead but, they are finding out that although Democrats control the Presidency and Congress there is no leadership. The Democrats are so divided among themselves, between the Blue Dogs and their most liberal members, that they themselves cannot agree on what should be done on any major issue. Their focus on health care reform at a time of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression shows how out of touch they are. What good is “affordable health care” if you can’t afford it because you have no job? They manufactured a crisis when we already have a real crisis they refuse to solve. Unemployment is at 10% nationally and upwards of 16% in many urban areas. Home foreclosures, personal and business bankruptcy’s, and bank failures continue at alarming rates. Personal credit card debt consumes the average household. Uncertainty of the future has Americans worried. Inflation is looming. Gas Prices are rising. Our national debt and federal budget has exploded in the past 6 months. Yes we can solve our problems, if we put our minds to to problems that need solving first. It is not the 1/3rd of our economy that should require our most immediate attention, it is the 2/3rds. The Democrats should forget about health care and concentrate on the greater economy.

The Obama is trying to rally his minions by reminding them that he's been down before, as in Iowa, and came back to win. To the "anointed" one, it's always about him. This is one of the reasons he habitually apologizes for the United States, he wasn't personally responsible and cannot see the forest for the trees. ObamaCare is not a personal competition, it's about right and wrong. It's about freedom, liberty and personal responsibility. So next time The Obama finds himself staring at his Narcissistic reflection in the White House fountain, he would do us all a big favor by seeing through his shallow idealism!

With a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, the Democrats can pass ObamaCare without a single Republican vote. Why don't they? Demonizing Republicans, insurance companies and citizens is their excuse for their own failure. Thomas Sowell correctly points out, "Why does it take more than 1,000 pages of legislation to insure people who lack medical insurance?" It's not about the un-insured, it's about a socialist take over of our entire health care system. A system, that with its' faults, is still the best and most innovative in the world. The liberals new strategy is shaping up to be splitting the ObamaCare bill into two pieces and ramming it through a reconciliation process that would only require 51 votes. One way or another, they'll find a way to grow government and ruin our health care system in the process.

The “public option” is dead, but birth has been given to the “co-op” by Senator Kent Conrad, (D-ND). Under the co-op scheme, consumer owned and controlled not for profit corporations would compete with insurance companies in selling health insurance. The US government would provide billions of dollars in start up monies and the co-ops would operate under a federal parent system with state partners, yet independent from government. Sounds awfully complicated. It remains to be seen how a co-op will best the “public option”. The Democrats are desperate to pass any form of health care because they put all their chips down on it and cannot walk away like Clinton did in his first term. The other dirty secret the Democrats are hiding is that any health care that passes will be implemented after the Presidential Election of 2012. The reason for this is so Obama can claim a generational accomplishment on health care reform without any record of accomplishment. It is not until his second term starts that health care reform begins. For Democrats their actions to their peril is that come hell or high water the American People are getting some form of ObamaCare whether they like it or not. We shall see about that.

Don't be fooled by The Obama's statement over the weekend that the public option is "just a sliver" of the overall plan. ObamaCare is not ObamaCare without the public option.

David Axelrod, the Senior Advisor to the President of the United States of America has now been reduced to the Spam Czar. A friend of mine forwarded to me the following unsolicited and unwanted spam email from Axelrod with regard to health care and town hall meetings:


                                                     THE WHITE HOUSE

“Dear Friend,

This is probably one of the longest emails I’ve ever sent, but it could be the most important.

Across the country we are seeing vigorous debate about health insurance reform. Unfortunately, some of the old tactics we know so well are back — even the viral emails that fly unchecked and under the radar, spreading all sorts of lies and distortions.

As President Obama said at the town hall in New Hampshire, “where we do disagree, let's disagree over things that are real, not these wild misrepresentations that bear no resemblance to anything that's actually been proposed.”

So let’s start a chain email of our own. At the end of my email, you’ll find a lot of information about health insurance reform, distilled into 8 ways reform provides security and stability to those with or without coverage, 8 common myths about reform and 8 reasons we need health insurance reform now.

Right now, someone you know probably has a question about reform that could be answered by what’s below. So what are you waiting for? Forward this email.

Thanks,
David

David Axelrod
Senior Adviser to the President

P.S. We launched www.WhiteHouse.gov/realitycheck this week to knock down the rumors and lies that are floating around the internet. You can find the information below, and much more, there. For example, we've just added a video of Nancy-Ann DeParle from our Health Reform Office tackling a viral email head on”.

Had Karl Rove, (who was the Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush), sent out blast emails to millions of Americans complaining about the publics reaction to the President’s policies and encouraged citizens to chain mail his email, he would be strung up by the Democrats. There would have been calls for investigations and for his removal.

The White House has a lot of explaining to do. How did Axelrod get the email addresses of the persons he sent this email to? How many emails were sent out? Who made the decision to do this? What is the White House doing with the email lists and the information that was gathered? What information do they have on Americans they sent emails to beyond just their email addresses. Did they pay for lists? If so, whom did they pay and how much was spent?

I find it very troubling that the most senior and trusted advisor to the President would be reduced to the Billy Mays pitchman for the White House. What’s next? Will they be selling “Orange Glo” and “Oxy-Clean” on the White House Website?

His goal is a single payer system, even if you have to make it there in increments. He has stated that in the past and yet, now he denies ever saying it. There is video of this, you can't hide from that. The Obama blatantly lies about his position and the monstrous health bill and continues to expect people to fall in line. The Obama's past statements on the "Spendulus" bill proved to be gross exaggerations and lies. Why should people trust him now?

The Obama hand picked town hall meeting went much differently then other town hall meetings, what a surprise. With teleprompter in hand, all went as planned. There was an interesting gem in this event that we would like to bring up. The Obama said the U.S. Postal service constantly loses money while FedEx and UPS make a profit. The difference of course is that the FedEx and UPS are private companies, run efficiently and for profit. The postal service is run by the government. Do you want the government running health care when they can't successfully deliver packages?

The Democrats will cause the President more grief, haven’t we seen that already? The Republicans are innocent bystanders, They do not have the votes to pass anything themselves, they do not control committees and are really a super minority. The Democrats should be careful as to what they wish for. They control all three branches of government with high majorities in the House and Senate. How can they blame the Republicans, when if they had solidarity within their party they could pass whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. As we can see from the health care fiasco, the Democrats are behaving like the Hatfields and McCoys, taking shots at each other. When Obama ran for President he gave lofty speeches about what he was going to do and how he was going to lead. The main problem is that the President abdicated his role as leader to Congress. These are not his Bills, they are someone else’s or in the case of health care many other’s. There are at least 5 healthcare bills floating out there by Democrats. They have not come together behind a single comprehensive piece of legislation and that is part of their problem. With regard to Afghanistan, the President is finding that it is much easier to campaign than to govern. The Republicans now need only point out the deficiencies and incompetence of the Democrats rule. There will come a time, as we get closer to the 2010 elections for Republicans to offer alternatives in the way of candidates and policies to the public. Let’s be real, the Republicans could have the best solutions for what ails us and there is no hope of getting any such policies passed by Democrats who control everything.

They are being pounded by communists like Chavez, Ortega and communist-in-training Obama.

Socialist intimidation, it's the way tyrants control dissent. This administration can't handle a debate on the facts so they attack the citizens which disagree with them. The strong arm tactics of pre-loading town hall meetings with SEIU union thugs shows their true colors. Shouting down dissenters for the audacity of asking a question is another show of of their hypocrisy. Couple these actions with the recently discovered National Guard search for "Internment" soldiers and you have a terrifying scenario. Those so called rumors about rounding up American citizens and placing them in detainment camps may not be as far fetched as once thought. "It could never happen here" is the false sentiment that people feel before loosing their liberty!

Congress loses whatever credibility they have with the public when they espouse their “do as I say not as I do” rhetoric. On healthcare, they claim they want to create a system of universal healthcare that is as good as every member of Congress is afforded, yet, they will not subject themselves to the system they create for the rest of us. They rant and rave about corporate executives use of corporate aircraft, yet, just this past week Congress approved the purchase of 500 million dollars in Gulfstream V and Boeing 737 private jets for “VIP” travel by Congress. Is that what they consider themselves now? VIP’s?

Well, since they run an ever growing government and control America’s largest businesses, I can see where they may start to think that way. The Democrats are drunk with power and the People are starting to get fet up with it. The increasing public dissent we are seeing at Town Halls this Summer reminds me of the Tea Parties that occurred all over the country this past Spring. The public does not like hypocritical governance. They want to be told the truth. They want a methodical and sensible approach to fixing our economy. They do not support generational change in healthcare, when the current system of government controlled healthcare, (Medicaid & Medicare), is rife with mismanagement, fraud and abuse. Over-reaching and incompetent governing will be the opportunity for the Republicans to gain a more fair and balanced legislature. That is if they are able to capitalize on the opportunity.

This administration and their socialist allies are trashing our constitution.

A new illness has been discovered spreading throughout the congress, THFS. This dreaded Town Hall Fear Syndrome is accompanied by chills and an endless need to blame American citizens and insurance companies. Pro ObamaCare reps and senators need to fear the Chicago knee-cappers less than they do the citizens at those town halls. They work for those citizens, the same ones that have seen the light and are turning against the socialized health care nightmare that would be ObamaCare.

The Obama White House is asking Americans to spy on Americans. Today they're looking for people, groups and web sites that are opposed to ObamaCare. What will they be looking for tomorrow? This is not done by accident nor is it a slip by an out of control staffer. The "Cash for Clunkers" government site has a disclaimer warning that you are forced to accept, when you do so, you allow the government to access "all" the information on your PC or Laptop. That access stays in force for as long as the government chooses to have it. This is a slippery path towards a totalitarian state.

Happy Birthday to President Obama. Born on August 4, 1961 at ___________ Hospital in ______________. We assume the hospital will be celebrating the birth of a president of the United States, the question is which hospital and in which country?

Like the politically correct attack on Christmas, ObamaCare will attack your health care. Christmas Trees and Nativity scenes are removed from schools and other public places because a few complain, regardless of the majority. The Obama wanted to ram ObamaCare through congress like he did the "Spendulus" bill. Rush it through before the congress had a chance to read the bills and before the American people could realize what was happening. Fortunately the process has been slowed down by Republicans, Blue Dogs and concerned citizens. The majority of Americans are now opposed to ObamaCare. Let's not ruin the best health care system in world by copying failed one's in Canada, England and Europe.

The Government's "Cash for Clunkers" program was supposed to be funded through the Fall. They had allocated $1,000,000,000 (that's 1 billion) for it. In just the first stage of the program, the "free" government handout was broke. Now congress has allocated another $2,000,000,000 (that's 2 billion) for the program! People falling for a "free" government program, no way. How can we trust the government's figures on the their own "public" health option when they can't even run a simple car rebate? Do you really trust them to run your health care?

I find it ironic that President Obama can travel the globe apologizing to countries on behalf of the American People for what he believed were past insults and mistreatment yet, he was not man enough to apologize to a fellow American for insulting him and impugning his integrity. The President disgraced his high office and Professor Gates brought great shame to himself and Harvard. Sgt. Crowley and Lucia Whalen were the only ones in this whole sorted affair that acted properly and professionally.

So much for the "Smear Summit", oops, we mean the "Beer Summit". Just a moral equivalence of an unruly homeowner and a police officer who was sent there to protect his home. Let's feed the police officer some beers then send him to a AFL-CIO sponsored press conference with a pre "Beer Summit" prepared statement. He did an excellent job answering questions but our question is, why didn't Professor Gates have to face the media after drinking a few beers? What a pile of "barf-lee" and hops!

President Obama is losing the battle with the American People on healthcare because it is not healthcare that requires immediate attention it is the economy. We are experiencing the worst economy since the Great Depression. I did not say those words the President did. Why then is he not focusing the majority of his attention and spending his political capital on accomplishing success on the economy? If the “stimulus” would have worked as promised and unemployment did not rise past 8.5% and the monies approved had been spent as intended, the President could have gotten his healthcare plan approved. The American People are loosing their trust in the President’s ability to focus, prioritize and deliver on the issue of most importance. It’s all about the economy. Americans do not see healthcare as a crisis, they do see the economy as one. When Members return home to their districts, I believe their constituents are going to give them an earful on the economy. They are not going to be concerned at this moment on healthcare. Healthcare will have to wait unless and until their is significant improvement with our economy. It is sheer “stupidity” for the President and his Administration to be so out of touch . I suggest the President have some beers with average Americans and maybe he will be enlightened as to what most concerns them.

The talk yesterday afternoon was that "Blue Dogs" had struck a deal on the ObamaCare plan. The truth was that 4 of the 7 "Blue Dogs" on the committees caved. After being taken behind the woodshed by the Chicago Knee-Cappers, they are now the "Black and Blue Dogs". The vast majority of the others are holding firm, for now. Some of these "Blue Dogs" where elected in the 2006 Democrat takeover of the house. Remember 2006, that's when the Democrats hid Pelosi and Reid away during the elections in order to fool the voters into falling for not-as-liberal Democrat candidates. The Obama administration keeps blaming Bush for eight years of economic collapse. The fact is that the first six years were an economic boom, not withstanding 9/11, two wars and Katrina. You can draw a parallel line on the economic downturn to the Democrats taking control of the purse strings in 2006.

The Obama administration continues to side with communists in Central America. Castro, Chavez, Ortega and Obama all agree that the ousted Honduran president Zalaya should be returned to power. Zelaya attempted to thwart the Honduran constitution and extend in perpetuity his socialist administration and the destruction of Honduran democracy. Zelaya was removed from office by the rule of law and constitutional democratic procedures. Yesterday the The Obama administration revoked the visas of four current Honduran government officials, including the Honduran Supreme Court magistrate that ordered Zelaya's removal from office as well as the president of the Honduran Congress. What signal does this send to our friends in Central America who are struggling for democracy? Once again The Obama is on the wrong side of freedom and liberty, the backbone of our own democracy.

Like the fox guarding the hen house, AARP sponsored a "town hall" ObamaGanda meeting today. The bulk of health care rationing under ObamaCare will directly affect the very people that the AARP pretends to represent. It's ironic and would be laughable if it weren't so serious. Our seniors will have their health care choices determined by government boards. If you are a certain age and the government determines that the investment in a needed procedure would not be cost effective, then you're on your own. We need the funds for younger subjects. The fact is that only 10 million people do not have health care for a given 12 month period. Not the near 50 million that The Obama and drive-bys keep ramming down our throats. Some of those 10 million are self insured or choose not to have insurance. So to forcibly cover the so-called uninsured would destroy the best health care system in the world, while breaking the bank in the process. Sounds like a great socialist plan.

When an unruly citizen insults a police officer who is doing his job trying to protect the citizens property, there's no race involved. Why are the very people that scream "racist" the ones who make race an issue? It's the same mindset that apologizes for the United States at every opportunity rather show pride in our exceptionalism. Perhaps it's because they don't believe or recognize that exceptionalism to begin with. It's also the same crowd that sees the American people as to dumb to handle our own money and choices, requiring the government to continue its uncontrolled growth and power grab to make those choices for us. This approach to governing is the antithesis of Liberty.

Government run GM and Chrysler's sales are down 22%. Even with a plan that gives new car buyers $9,000 (public funds) for trading in their old clunkers. Ford doesn't have that giveaway because they did not fall for the government bailout scheme. Ford sales are up! Could it be that the American people are voting with their economic power by turning down the government car option? The more government involvement in the private sector that takes place the worse our economy will be. Look out oil companies, sooner or later they'll come after you!

Democrats from Boxer to Obama are showing their true colors. Although they pretend to be the party of minorities, they're the ones that constantly play the race card and divide us into racial groups. While at a congressional hearing on Cap-and-Trade, Sen. Boxer demeans the witness, Harry Alford by reading an opinion form another black leader on Cap-and-Trade. Harry Alford is the CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. He was there to testify on his professional opinion on Cap-and-Trade, an economic issue not a racial one. During the ObamaGanda news conference, The Obama admitted he didn't know all the facts on the arrest of his friend, Professor Gates, then insults the Cambridge police of acting "Stupidly". Gates is black and the arresting officer is white. Regardless of the facts in the Gates case, for a president to personally involve himself and therefore this office into such an issue goes to the heart of the hypocrisy in the Democrats message.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
The President is selling a product that no one wants. He is desperate and refuses to pull the plug on healthcare legislation that even Democrats concede is DOA. It is not the Republicans that are holding up Obamacare it is Democrats. After the Chairman of the CBO, (a Democrat appointment), came out and publicly contradicted the White House, that gave Democrats the “cover” to jump ship. The Congressional Budget Office stated that Obamacare would add significantly to our national budget and to our ever growing national deficit. The American People are getting uncomfortable with the President and his policies and it is showing in recent polls. Polls show that a majority of Americans believe America is on the wrong track. They are not confident with the President’s handling of the economy or healthcare. He is the salesman in chief yet, the American People are starting to look elsewhere. The President has put all his chips on healthcare when he should be placing them on the economy. The bet has been made and he will have to fold his hand because he can’t win. The August recess will come without a deal. Members will go back to their districts and get an earful from their constituents on the economy. When Members return to Washington, it will not be healthcare that they want to focus on, it will be the economy and jobs.

After saying the Cambridge police acted "Stupidly" in arresting an Obama friend, he concluded with his trademark, "BLAH-BLAH-BLAH"

Wheels are starting to come off The Obama socialist gravy train. The more light that shines on the administrations socialist health care plan, the more cockroaches run for the hills. The American people are starting to fight back against this latest encroachment on their liberty. It's not the governments business to force you to buy health insurance or to penalize you if you choose not to. The numbers they use to justify their intrusion into our privacy is bogus. They claim close to 50 million people are un-insured. The fact is that people who are un-insured for just part of the year are counted in this group. The true number is much lower, around 18 million. How many of those are self insured because it's their choice? Should it be the governments job to force them into a system they choose not to participate in? Enough with this socialist juggernaut, the destruction of our liberty is not set in stone.

Obama and the polls. Should he worry? Fasten your seat belt Mr. President, you are going to start experiencing turbulence for the foreseeable future. There comes a time in every new Administration when it’s time to buckle up. It is that time for this Administration. The honeymoon is over and the People will now look to you to pilot the ship of state. The reality is that this President will be handed his first major “defeat” when Congress adjourns for the summer without passing his healthcare plan. Members will go home and get an earful from their constituents about the economy and government spending. When Congress returns in September, it will be back to the drawing board and the President will have to re-start healthcare or move on to fight another day. Generational change requires a great deal of spade work. The Obama Administration wanted to reap a bumper crop without first sowing the seeds and counted on Obama’s personal popularity to carry the day. Well, his popularity is waning and it will take a lot of hard work to get anything close to what he or the far left wants. Hopefully, the Blue Dog Democrats will prevent much more taxing and spending from here on out. As I have said all along, it is not the Republicans who will be the bane of this President it will be his own party.

Where are the supposed women's rights groups (NOW) when a conservative woman is being attacked? Silent. Where is the largest seniors group (AARP) when our seniors (seasoned citizens) future health care is threatened? Silent. Politics to these groups far outweigh the their concern for their constituents. When President Bush and Republicans in congress wanted to "fix" the social security system, AARP went on an all-fronts attack to keep the failing status quo. The Obama's supposed health care reform will destroy our health care system and will ration care, specially to our seniors. When their care is rationed and the government rationalizes that they've lived long enough and it wouldn't be "cost effective" to provide the procedure or medication they require, so be it. By then it will be to late, to late for us and specially, to late for our loved ones.

It's Deja Vu all over again! The Obama scared the pants out of Americans over the economy in order to pass his "Spendulus" bill. A bill that was rushed through the liberal congress without giving members time to read it. They told us that if not passed, unemployment would go over 8%. It passed without a single Republican vote in the house and unemployment is now over 9.5% and rising. Every day brings a new excuse from this administration. Now they're on a scare campaign to cram their socialized national health care down our throats. This president and his cronies are intent on emulating failure. The government runs Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, programs that are wrought with waste, fraud and on the brink of bankruptcy. Republicans don't have the votes to stop this runaway train, but maybe some Democrats will see the light before it's to late.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
Health Care: The House Dems healthcare bill is terminally ill, it gets an F. The government has failed miserably in the delivery of quality government controlled health care. Both Medicaid and Medicare are broken and rife with fraud, mismanagement and abuse. They Democrats are boasting that by “cleaning up” the fraud and mismanagement of Medicaid and Medicare, they will be able to take those billions “saved” and apply it to their new “universal health care program”. Where have they been all these years they controlled health care spending for our government? Should they have not focused on “cleaning up” the government health care they provide, before attempting to expand that incompetence to every single American? The Dems are hell bent on creating bigger more invasive and inefficient government. Their attempts to create a socialized medicine program failed under Bill Clinton and it will fail under Obama. Even in the best of economic times the program they seek to create would be a tough sell. If the Dems were serious about providing quality health care they would start with “cleaning up” what they already provide. Over haul Medicare and Medicaid now and you will get bipartisan support.

CIA: The President should rein in his government. He is letting the inmates, (Congress), run the asylum. When President Obama took office he vowed to look forward and not behind. It is a slippery slope when a new administration investigates the former and questions actions taken that are contrary to their own political beliefs. Since any investigation would likely still involve matters of “top secret” or “compartmentalized” programs, such an investigation would be held behind closed doors. That means leaks would rule the process. The President needs to take charge here. No good will come to the country being dragged through a manufactured tit for tat political game of gotcha. There is plenty of blame to go around and if the Dems think they will come out unscathed they would be sorely mistaken.

Judge Sotomayor seems to have the judicial temperament of an anointed one. I remember many judges who have told audiences that they will never forget the day when they were practicing attorneys. Then they don those black robes and it erases all their memory of when they came before the bench. She strikes me as one of those. She has struggled to make it, and now that she has, she is power. Yesterday’s hearing looked like she had been sent to the principal’s office. As humbling as it might have been to be on the other side of the fence, sitting there getting a little taste of what she has done to others for years and years, it will all be forgotten once she is confirmed. She is on good behavior for a few days. It will be up to her peers on the Supreme Court to keep her in check as best that they can both in temperament and in argument. The Judiciary Committee so far as comported themselves with restraint, respect and repetitiveness. How many times does each senator have to ask the same question over and over again. If they can’t use their 20 minutes constructively, they should yield their time. There comes a time when enough is enough. It is that time.

Why is the United Nations based in the United States? Why do we pay over 60% of their operating revenues? Why is the OAS in the United States? Why do we pay the overwhelming majority of their funds? Who is the largest donor nation in the world for anti-poverty programs? Who has saved millions of people in the world with medicines that were developed in a FREE and capitalistic enterprise system that has been the envy of the world? Let’s stop the pussy footing around and recognize what is happening to our way of life for what it is. We are being defeated from within, like a cancer in a patient who refuses treatment!

The Obama justice department is looking into prosecuting Bush era officials. Their concern is for a secret CIA plan that was never implemented and thereby the congress was not informed. The plan, which was developed after 9/11, would have gone after Al-Qaeda leadership at close range. We believe a plan to kill Al-Qaeda leadership after 9/11 would have been a great way to help eliminate the threat of a terrorist group that wants to kill Americans and destroy our way of life. Information of this came to light recently after being leaked by the congress. Maybe that was the reason the congress was not informed in the first place. Congress leaks like a sieve!

Lady Justice is blindfolded for a reason. Defendants should be judged on their guilt in any particular action not by the color of their skin, sex, sexual orientation, religious belief, wealth or nationality. The Obama and Sotomayor believe that a judge must "empathize" with the defendant. They believe that empathizing levels the playing field. The truth is that empathizing turns the playing field upside down and goes against the very nature of judging and the oath that every judge must take.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
The Republicans need to rise up and challenge the legality of the Czars appointed by President Obama. The President has subverted the Constitutional requirement for advice and consent of the Senate for principal officers. The President appointed dozens of Czars, (Drug, Energy & Environment, Health, Urban Affairs, Economic, Regulatory, Technology, Government Reform, Border, WMD, Cars, Intelligence, Compensation, Great Lakes, Cyber, .......), all without Senate Confirmation and all with concurrent or arguably, superior authority over Cabinet Secretaries and agencies by power and authority of the White House. The President has a Cabinet in place. Does he not have confidence in those he chose? The Czars are duplicative, expensive and totally unnecessary. They have avoided the necessity of disclosure, security clearances and scrutiny by the Senate or the Press. Where is the outrage? The Republicans should challenge this unprecedented abuse of Executive Authority and take it to the Supreme Court. The Democrats talked a good game when they claimed abuse of Executive Authority by President George W. Bush. Obama’s abuses pale in comparison to any allegations lodged by the Democrats at President Bush. From the appointment of Czars, to the firing of private sector business executives, to the meddling in setting executive compensation and bonus’, to determining winners and losers in the financial services sector, President Obama has acted more like a dictator than a President. If Republicans are serious about challenging Obama, this is the perfect opportunity. The disregard of the Constitution is not the “change” America wanted or needs.

What about taking care of the "down trodden" amongst us? As Abraham Lincoln said, "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich." As far as the climate change give-away, maybe someone should tell the bleeding heart environmental whacko's that the climate has cooled in the last 10 years. Why should we sacrifice our prosperity and that of our children to appease a false belief. In the 60's we were heading to a new ice age, in the 70's acid rain was going to destroy the forests and lakes, now the same hysteria is feeding the global warming lemmings.

The Obama and Mini-Bama campaigned on the "worst economy since the great depression", now, oops, what a surprise, our economy is in bad shape. Could it be that their "Spendulus Bill" wasn't a stimulus at all? If the "Spendulus" money was not intended to get distributed right away but was a socialist expansion of government, then why are they surprised that the economy has gotten worse. They complained that Republicans didn't want to do anything. We think that doing nothing would have been preferable to massive deficit spending that will only cripple our economy and recovery. The truth is Republicans wanted to do something, cut taxes. That doesn't put money back in your pocket, it doesn't take it out to begin with! Money spent by the people earning it, creates jobs, money spent by the government, re-distributes it.

The Vice President had another, “say it ain’t so Joe”, moment. How bad did he think the economy was? Did he not hear the President state over and over and over again that this is the worst economy since the Great Depression? You didn’t need to be a rocket scientist to predict double digit unemployment, I predicted that would occur 3 months ago. Unemployment in our urban centers is about 14% today, while our national average is 9.5%, if you believe the White House. I believe we are passed 10% already, if you take into account those who have stopped looking for full time work, those who were full time workers that are now part timers and those working seasonal jobs who used to be full time workers. The “stimulus bill” that the Obama Administration and the Democrats in Congress railroaded through without a single Member who voted on it having read it, is a disaster. The majority of it, some 80% of over 700 billion dollars remains unspent. Show me the money and show me the jobs. There is nothing to show for any of it. Now if you can believe it, the Democrats are talking about the need for a second stimulus. It is clear that they have no clue as to what to do or how to stimulate our economy. All they know how to do is spend. Watch out, taxing is next as inflation rears its ugly head come Fall.

The Obama's political philosophy can clearly be understood by his statements and concerns on two recent international events, Iran and Honduras:
Iran - The Theocratic dictatorship backs the fraudulent "re-election" of their current puppet; Ahmadinejad. Riots break out in support of Democracy and freedom. Innocent people are gun down in the streets.
The Obama's reaction - The United States should not be seen as "meddling" in Iran's internal affairs. He says the "Supreme Leader" is basically on top of things.
Honduras - The president attempts to circumvent the constitution of Honduras by illegally trying to implement a public vote to extend his presidency. Assisted by Venezuela's Chavez and thereby a socialist-Marxist attack on a central American democracy.
The Obama's reaction - The United States condemns the removal from office of the Honduran president and stands side-by-side with Chavez, the Castro's and Ortega in calling for his immediate reinstatement.
The old saying that you can tell about a person by the company he keeps sure rings true with The Obama. The American people should have paid more attention to the company he kept before the elections: Davis, Wright and Ayers. No surprises here...

On the Ricci decision: Now that the Supreme Court has ruled on the Ricci case, Judge Sotomayor is free to fully be questioned at her Senate Confirmation about it. That fact that she was reversed will certainly add fodder for those on the fence and those who oppose her. Some of the more germane questions that should be asked are: 1. Why at the time did you feel that the Ricci Case should have been dismissed on its face and not heard by your Court?, Your decision in the Ricci case was a terse one page decision, yet, the Supreme Court decision was more than 90+ pages going through in depth the Appellant¹s Equal Protection and other Constitutional claims, why did you not take up the Appellants Constitutional arguments?
The facts are that the U.S. Supreme Court has had seven of Sotomayor¹s decisions before them, and the Court has agreed with her reasoning only once. She needs to explain her thought process by which she weighs the facts and applies the law in the Ricci case and every other case that has come before her. Judge Sotomayor certainly did not give the Appellants in the Ricci case, their ³day in court² to allow their Constitutional arguments to be fully appreciated or considered by the Appellate Court. Judge Sotomayor¹s peer on the court in the Ricci case, Judge Jose Cabranes, was so concerned that she disregarded the Constitutional arguments of the Appellants that he wrote a blistering dissent, taking Sotomayor to task. At the end of the day, will this latest reversal, (by what could be her new peers), derail her confirmation? I doubt it. What it will do is add at least another long day of questioning. The Democrats appear to have enough votes to get her out of Committee and to the full Senate for a vote. I predict the Republicans will be a lot fairer to Judge Sotomayor than the Democrats were to Judge Alito and Roberts in their hearings.
On Maddoff: U.S. District Court Denny Chin did the right thing moments ago, by sentencing Bernie Maddoff to a maximum of 150 years behind bars. This sentence sends a clear message that the law will be applied equally to those who take someone’s life by murder or by theft. The sentence fits the crimes. Maddoff masterminded the biggest fraud in U.S. History. He took the financial lives away from the big, the small and everyone in between. It did not matter if you were a individual, a corporation or a charity. There was no limit to his greed and evil.

The Cap-N-Tax bill passed the house by a 219 to 212 vote. Eight foolish Republicans joined the vast majority of Democrats to pass this outrageous "tax" increase on our citizens. The 95% of American's that were going to get a tax cut from The Obama's "spreading-the-wealth" just got the rug pulled out from under them. If you pay for energy, you're going to pay more. If you put gas in your car, you're going to pay more. If you ride the bus, train, plane, you're going to pay more. If you buy any product, food or spend any money at all, you're going to pay more. The only thing you'll have left is the "change" in your pocket. I don't think that was the "change" the American people voted for!

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
The American Clean Energy and Security Act is a disaster for jobs and the economy. The Brookings Institution says “Cap-And-Trade” will cause job losses. The National Black Chamber of Commerce said that the National Energy Tax will cause job losses and wage reductions. The President said we should be more like Spain with regard to their “Green Economy”. The only problem is that Spain generates almost 30 percent of their power from the wind. Under the Obama bill we will generate less than 1 percent. Spain destroys 2.2 jobs for every “Green Job” it generates. The President admits that “Cap-And-Trade” will mean “electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket”, because by capping green house gasses, coal plants will have to retrofit thus, the increased costs of operation must be passed along to consumers. We could be the cleanest most energy efficient nation on the face of the planet and it will not mean a thing globally, if other nations like China, India and Russia aren’t as “responsible” as we are. The problem is this bill will not make a meaningful global difference and will spend us further into the poor house. Why? To make us feel good? To make us feel responsible? All this at great cost to jobs and our already weak economy. This is nuts.

The Obama promised to cut taxes for 95% of Americans, in reality he will be raising taxes on 150% of Americans! The reason: Massive "hidden-taxes" that Cap-N-Trade will bring as well as huge deficits that future generations will be saddled with. Forget the rhetoric, the tele-promted speeches, it's the actions under cover of night that will destroy our economy and our way of life.

The Government decades ago got into the healthcare business when they created Medicare and Medicaid. Has it worked? Does it serve the People as intended? The answer to both questions is no. Medicare and Medicaid is rife with fraud, mismanagement and abuse. That is a fact. So now the government wants to expand that incompetence and expand their control of health care to all Americans. Why not fix that which is broken and has been broken for years before attempting to reward failure with more failure. The President is wrong. A public option will create bigger and more inefficient government, waste, abuse and fraud. If you like going to the Department of Motor Vehicles, then you are going to love the public health care option. Americans will wait in large caverness waiting rooms to see doctors they don’t know and then be told they can’t be treated because of their age, wait time for treatment, cost, etc. Under Obama Socialized Health Care everyone will be “covered” but no one will be properly treated.

The Obama news conference today had some strong statements on the tyrannical behavior of the Iranian Theocracy against it's own people. The Obama is playing catch up to the rest of the free world at a time when our president should be leading the way. Conspicuously missing from the 55 minute press conference was any mention of the surge in Afghanistan, success in Iraq or the "War on Terror", or as this administration calls it, " Overseas Contingency Operations". While we take our eyes off the ball, Al-Qaeda is working on capturing Pakistani nuclear weapons and promises to use those weapons against Americans.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
The President of the United States should call for an emergency meeting with the UN Security Council and have the Secretary of State represent the US and ask that our allies send their equivalents. The President must be seen as a leader and not a follower of his legislative bodies. The President must speak to the principles of freedom, justice and non-violence towards a nations own population. America must join a coalition of nations outraged at the actions of the government of Iran. Together we should focus attention on the plight of the Iranian People and support them as much as possible. Only by joining with other nations, can America effectively exert her power and influence in a credible and beneficial way to help the people of Iran. The civilized nations of the World must act now.

The U.S. Senate yesterday passed a resolution calling for our government to provide an official apology for slavery. A practice that ended 140 years ago. No one alive today participated in slavery, either as a slave owner or a slave. This action only serves to please the "blame-America-first" crowd and our enemies overseas. It would also lay the ground work for further "spreading-of-the-wealth" by The Obama administration. The last thing we need now is more government deficit spending. Hold on to your wallets!

It's been said before and we would like to repeat it here, don't listen to what The Obama and his administration says, look at what they do. Behind the scenes, everyday, they are working overtime to undermine and destroy our free enterprise system. They are giving the FED more oversight with power to "intervene" in "financial institutions" that could pose a threat to the "public good". This means that successful private businesses like Wal-Mart could be taken over because they have "financial instruments" (credit cards), that if they fail (according to the FED's) could affect the "public good". The greatest economic system the world has ever experienced, our free enterprise system, is the Golden Goose that The Obama administration is trying to cook. The "golden egg" has already been served and once the goose is gone and fed to Acorn and the UAW, look out, you're next...

How long will it take for the Obama Lemmings to see the light? He campaigned on countering the Bush deficits then more than tripled them. One day he wags his finger at his congressional lackeys and tells them to hold the line on spending by abiding by pay-as-you-go, the next day he proposes massive health care spending. He says that the government system would just be an alternative to the current health insurance system, really! Let's say you're faced with a choice between the co-pay with your employer provided private health insurance plan or "free" government health care? How long do you think the private health insurance provider will last? This would mean the end to the best health care system in the world. The United States is where people form countries with nationalized government provided health care come to when their systems fail them. The incentive to create new technologies to save lives, improve health and find cures for diseases will have been struck a death blow. Everywhere that a government provided national health care system has been tried, it has failed miserably. Do you want to try it again?

It's ironic that 30 years ago in 1979 the Iranian Islamic revolution "changed" the world. Since then, Iran has been at the epicenter of Islamic fundamentalist sponsored terrorism. Carter allowed the Islamic fundamentalist to take over Iran by not backing the Shah. The Obama is now refusing to support a true "change" in Iran that would fundamentally alter the world's geopolitical makeup. The president of the United States used to be the leader of the free world, now our president takes a bench warming position on the world stage so as to not upset Muslim's. When he has an opportunity to really make a difference by backing the brave freedom seeking Iranian people, The Obama shrivels up like the meek socialist appeaser he is!

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
The President’s most significant obstacle to “universal health care”, (socialized medicine), is that the public doesn’t want it. The facts are that Medicare and Medicaid, both government controlled health care that has existed for many years, is rife with fraud, mismanagement and waste. Social Security run entirely by the government is broken and on the verge of total and complete collapse without a fix. Now the government, in light of its incompetence in dealing with the health care they control, seeks to expand that incompetence with a Trillion Dollar, (over 10 years), socialized medicine program that is destined for the same ultimate fate of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Why don’t we fix first what is broken? If government can’t efficiently manage what they now control what makes us think they can do better when they control all aspects of health care?

The Obama today continued his game plan of trying to bring about a crisis in order to pass his programs. His plan, if followed, would indeed cause a 'crisis'. If GM had not been "bailed out" and allowed to declare bankruptcy, the taxpayer would have been spared over 70 Billion Dollars and GM would be run by the private sector today. GM ended up declaring bankruptcy after the bailout and is now being run by The Obama Administration. The American tax paying citizen lost and the auto workers union won! Basically we have government controlled automobile production, bureaucratic-political-servitude. After the "Spendulus bill", a 4 Trillion Dollar "necessary" budget, false claims of Pay-Go, all the whilst wagging his finger (reminds us of some other finger wagger), he now is back to creating 'crisis' if we don't act on health care. The Obama's socialist-nationalized health care program is like HillaryCare on steroids. Afraid of needles, don't worry, bend over, you'll just feel a little prick!

Mr. President its been almost 5 months since you took office. Where is Bin Laden? You were relentless in your criticism, in the campaign, of President Bush with regard to his inability to capture or kill him.
Let me take you back to June of last year. The Associated Press reported, that as you stood before17 American flags, in front of a sign that said, 'Judgment to Lead' and surrounded by 'national security experts' you said the following, "Osama Bin Laden and his top leadership - the people who murdered 3,000 Americans - have a safe-haven in northwest Pakistan, where they operate with such freedom of action that they can still put out hate-filled audiotapes to the outside world. that is the result of the Bush-McCain approach to the war on terrorism".
Well Mr. President, although you now bar any reference to a 'war on terrorism', Osama Bin Laden and his top leadership continue to put out video and audio tapes from their 'safe-havens' spewing the same hate and threats of future terrorist attacks. The hate that was once directed at Bush is now directed towards you and our country.
You know where he is, why then can¹t you bring him to justice? Use your charm and popularity to woo the Pakistani¹s into handing him over.
You are finding out with every passing day that governing is a whole lot different than campaigning, but now it is your watch. America will hold you as accountable, as you did the former Commander in Chief.
Bin Laden is poking you in the eye. He laughs at your apologies, he muses at your change in terminology and gets great comfort from your demoralizing of our intelligence services and your policies on interrogations.
Weakness breeds vulnerability. I suspect your rhetoric and actions will change 180 degrees when we are attacked again either at home or abroad.

The NY Times is dead. The reason for their demise is evidenced by the trash that is published by the likes of Dowd and Krugman, et al. When the right does something they hate, they condemn, when the left does the very same thing, they are lauded. There is no fair and balanced reporting there. Krugman talks about the “right wing extremist media”? Give me a break. The left is beside themselves. They see their ratings on cable tank. Their attempt to best conservative talk radio failed. The only thing they have left are the newspapers which are dying on the vine. They do control the blogosphere, but all that is is preaching to the rabid. The left is so obsessed that they are losing their grip on the media, that they want to bring back the fairness doctrine to force their views upon the airwaves. Entertainers and pundits do not move people to act out. They entertain folks and give them a safe harbor. The right has outrageous personalities and the left does as well, (Maddow, Olberman, Stewart, Mahr, Shultz, etc.).. In a 24 hour news cycle the most outrageous seem to always make the news. The people that ultimately matter most are party leaders and elected officials. More focus on them, please.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
The further intrusion by the Administration in subverting the authority and responsibility of boards of directors is very troubling. The President has appointed some 17 “Czars” to watch over areas of what was once the private sector. These “Czars” are accountable to no one, except the executive branch, and wield tremendous power. They were not confirmed by the Senate, there is no legislation by which these positions were created, and there is no precedent for a President to make such appointments in mass. You talk about “big brother”, this is about as Orwellian as it gets. We now have more Czars ruling in America than ever ruled Russia. Republicans and Democrats and everyone in between should reject this intrusion into the manipulation of the private sector by government, It is wrong and I am sure unconstitutional and should be tested.

A word please on the shooting at the United States Holocaust Museum. Today,
museum security officer Stephen Tyrone Johns was killed in the line of duty
and the White supremacist shooter was injured, the staff and visitors were
terrorized and calm was restored. I had the honor of serving for 6 years as
a member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council which, is charged
with the governance of the museum. My thoughts and prayers are with the
family of our hero security officer. In the early days of the planning for
the museum many questioned the relevance of it here in America. Well today’s
incident is a clear reminder that hate is not about a singular event in
history, it is about teaching Americans that we must learn from history or
be condemned to repeat it. Tens of millions have visited the United States
Holocaust Museum since it opened in 1993. Everyday people from all over,
from every race, and from every socio-economic background choose to visit
the Holocaust Museum. The lessons learned from that time are as important
today as it will be a thousand years from now. Intolerance and hate be it
state sponsored or not is a scourge that must never be tolerated. If we do
not stay vigilant, terrible incidents of history can happen again. Today’s
tragic incident was about a lone hater who acted out. He did so I am sure
out of frustration that he has no chance to see his twisted view of how the
World should be will never ever become reality again, thanks to places like the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

On the Economy:
The Republicans are serious about the amount of spending and the creation of unprecedented debt but, there is not much we can do about it. The Democrats control everything with high majorities, they run the House, the Senate and now the Courts. The Democrats since taking office have been spending like drunken sailors. They have doubled the national debt in five years and tripled it in 10. Now that the American People are voicing their concern over this biblical debt, the President announced a policy that from here on out it will be “pay as we go” with regard to spending. This is like a bank robber complaining that the cops are being too lax on bank robbers. Where was the President’s famous “scalpel”, (he talked about in the campaign), that he was going to take to the budget before spending? He picked up the rubber stamp instead of the scalpel and approved a stimulus package of over 700 Billion that no one who voted in it read. He gave billions to the banks, and the auto industry and then he passed his record breaking 4 trillion dollar budget. To now claim you are a fiscal conservative when there is no money left to spend is absurd. The Republicans need to give the Democrats enough rope. We are powerless to stop the “change” the American People are getting. We can live to fight another day when the American People in 2010 voice their disgust at the out of control spending and nationalization on American Industries and Health Care and the intrusion on bigger government into their daily lives. I think we are up to 17 “Czars” now. We have people watching and controlling every aspect of what used to be the “private sector”. We have more Czars now in America than they every had ruling Russia and with the same results.

The restructuring of our national health care system should not be fast tracked. The Obama Administration is on a mission to get as much of their "change" accomplished as possible as soon as possible while they enjoy the publics goodwill. The more they can get done the harder it will be for Republicans to undo should they make gains in 2010 or 2012. I say let's take a sober, informed and deliberate approach to a generational change to our national health care. That is just what the Doctor ordered.

Conservatives have overwhelmingly won elections in the European Union this weekend. Across the the board from England, to Spain, France, Germany and beyond. Citizens have revolted against uncontrolled government spending, bailouts and socialist policies. The same policies which The Obama and his congressional-socialist-allies are trying to cram down our throats. There probably won't be much play on this in the mainstream drive-by-media but we are optimistic that the average American will begin to see the light. Some voters in our last election voted for "change" without knowing that "change" meant destroying our way of life. There is hope that those Americans will joins us in stopping the Socialist steamroller!

The Obama Cairo Islamic worship speech spoke of bogus contributions of Islam. He mentioned "arches", what about the Romans? He mentioned "Algebra", what about the Greeks? He didn't mention "suicide bombers". He also didn't mention how many times the United States has come to the aid of Muslims and shed precious American treasure in the process. Soldiers that will never see another birthday, another Christmas or their own children grow up. Nothing on the great contributions that Americans have made to the world in medicine, technology and liberty. I guess it was to much to expect that our president be proud of his country beyond all others. Is Islam a country?

This weekend Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure takes place in Washington, DC.
In fact Vice President and Dr. Biden have graciously agreed to take a major role in this weekends activities. Ambassador Nancy Brinker founded the Komen foundation over 25 years ago in honor of her sister Susan G. Komen, who died after a bout with breast cancer. Nancy herself a breast cancer survivor, was determined to take up the cause of finding a cure in honor and in memory of Susan. With a enormous challenge and a modest budget, Nancy grew the Komen Foundation into a world wide organization dedicated to the prevention, treatment and cure of breast cancer. Through the efforts of Ambassador Brinker, and literally millions of volunteers, professionals and donors, the Komen Foundation has raised awareness, prevented illness, and saved lives.
Even in these tough economic times, we should take the time to realize the goodness of America and her citizens. We are the most caring and charitable nation on earth. We have amazing people, who on their own take up causes greater than themselves. Komen may have started in America, but it did not stop there. Countries all over the world benefit from what Komen started in America and what they now do routinely around the globe. The pink ribbon has become the symbol that needs no interpretation. It is immediately identifiable of an organization that has been in the forefront in finding a cure for one of the Worlds greatest scourges.

The President’s Cairo speech overall was a very good one. I give it a A-. The President hit all the major points of the conflict between the Muslim world and the West. He set forth the areas of tensions, he stated America’s beliefs and intentions, he held out hope for progress, and challenged the parties to leave the past behind and work toward attainable and sustainable goals of peaceful co-existence. While I disagree with his “apology’s” for how we got into Iraq, President’s characterization that America has ended the “torture” of prisoners, the mentioning the closing of Guantanamo, the re-stating the timetables for withdrawal from Iraq without condition, and the willingness to sit down without preconditions with Iran, I understand why he said it and who the speech was directed to. The President basically said what needed to be said, interweaving history with reality. The President has come to realize that governing is a lot harder than campaigning and that giving serious, hopeful and lofty speeches is a lot easier than meaningful negotiation with parties who have fought for thousands of years. Our cards were laid on the table for all to see with regard to how this Administration views the Middle East and Islam. Let’s see if any of the interested parties will take a seat at the table and deal in good faith.

During the European Apology Tour, The Obama said the United States is not a Christian Nation. Today in an interview on his Middle East Muslim-Kiss-A__-Tour, he said, "The number of Muslims in the U.S. would make America one of the largest Muslim countries in the world." During the presidential campaign last year you couldn't even mention his middle name, Hussein. You couldn't mention that his father was a Muslim and that he went to Muslim schools as a child. I guess now that he's managed to hood wink the American people, it's OK to embrace his Muslim heritage. If this wasn't so serious it would be laughable.
On Cuba: Today in Honduras the member states of the Organization of American States (OAS) voted to allow Cuba re-entry into that assembly. The Cuban government was expelled in 1962 because it declared itself to be a Communist Government. The Cuban State was never expelled and has remained a part of the OAS throughout the years. Allowing the Communist Cuban Government back in goes contrary to the charter of the OAS. This makes the OAS as useless as the UN who has allowed Cuba to participate in it's Human Rights Commission while being one of the worst violators of human rights in the world. This is just another Obama administration rollover to their communist comrades south of the border!

I believe the U.S. Taxpayer should never own a private company. The Government should have allowed GM to go through bankruptcy proceedings and emerge from it either able to carry on or not. We poured billions and billions into GM and what did we get for it? A company that filed for bankruptcy anyway and left the American People as owners of a weak and struggling company, whose future in uncertain. What is the intent of the government with regard to operation and control of GM going forward? I would like to know what the end game is. The government should never be in a position to pick and choose the industries it will own and control. This sets a terrible precedent for a free market economy. I believe our laws should be for everyone, the big, the small, and everything in between. The U.S. Government should not be in the “business” of owning any American business regardless of the excuse. Even in good times, the government is de facto owners of U. S. businesses through taxation. The good news is they are silent partners who take only in relation to income and have no say in a companies operation. That is the way it should be.

It takes blind faith for the politically and historically ignorant to continue to support The Obama. In one breath he says we're out of money and in another he says we need to have nationalized, government provided health care. Where in our constitution does it mandate the "right" to healthcare? With other government programs going bankrupt does it make sense to create a new one that is bankrupt before it's begun? The Spendulus funds have not yet been spent, nor do they need to be, they will only increase the power of the socialist at the controls now. The Obama was an attractive candidate, he speaks well (with teleprompter), but he's an empty vessel. As empty as the Grand Canyon. It's power that The Obama administration craves and the worse our economy is the more power they have. The inflation that is coming should be directly tied to The Obama policies. Let's see how the drive-by media tries to smooth that over!

I would hope Judge Sotomayor if confirmed as Justice Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court would turn out to be a “wise” jurist who happens to be a “Latina woman”. Life experiences mean a lot no matter the job or position in life. Every person is unique. I believe it is fair for the Senate Judiciary Committee to question Judge Sotomayor on the speech she gave while on the Federal Bench which is seen are controversial in light of her current appointment. What was her intent? Does she still believe that to be the case? What bearing does her statement have on the new role she is about to take? Making decisions weighted by your own experiences and not on the law, I hope all will agree is unacceptable. Making decisions on how you would like the law to be instead of what it should be is likewise unacceptable. I would like the next Justice of the Supreme Court to be a person who will follow the Constitution as the framers intended and not legislate from their position or life experiences. After all this standard is the same as we demand from Jurors everyday. One day a citizen in America could be making donuts and the next deciding the fate of some ones life, liberty or property.

Once again the liberal intelligentsia is up it arms about conservative attacks on Sotomayor. "The Republicans are done for if they keep these attacks up", they say, "It's discrimination", they say. The criticism has nothing to do with her race, background or appearance. It has to do with her opinions and philosophy. The same "living constitution" philosophy that legislates from the bench. There's a reason why "lady justice" is blind folded. The blind fold stands for equal treatment under the law, according to THE law and not the plaintiff's color, ethnicity or planet of origin!

Enough already with the liberal media and non-Republicans (RINO'S) trying to tell us how we can "fix" the Republican party and the conservative movement. The only reason the "drive-by" media is talking about this that they want to dictate what we should do so they can defeat us again. Fool us once, shame on you, fool us twice, shame on us! Forget Powel and his ilk, after all, didn't he vote for The Obama? Conservatives need to stick to the principles that made this country great and have been the foundation of all our success, including the success of those bleeding-heart-guilty-liberals that wouldn't know their derrière (a little French lingo there) from a hole in the ground. Liberals, Socialists, Marxists say they stand for the "little guy", the "minority", but in fact they enslave the little guy, the minority. The smallest minority of course is the individual! We conservatives stand for the individual before all groups, we stand for individual freedom, individual liberty and individual responsibility. The Magna Carta, one of the greatest documents ever written expressed the rights of the "people" Vis-à-vis the state or government. The United States Constitution was based on the Magna Carta but added the individual Vis-à-vis the government and the "Duties of Man" or responsibility of the individual to those freedoms. It is time for the smallest minority in our country, the individual who cares for his freedom and that of this fellow country men and his family to step up and speak out. Let's get back to basic individual responsibility for our actions, for our well being and for our fellow citizens.

You can't continue to criticize past record deficits when your budget would more than triple that record. You can't continue to blame the "need" for "drastic measures" on the past. The Obama administration couldn't let the opportunity that the economic "storm" provided pass without implementing their Socialist policies. If we continue down their path we will be a third rate economy and power in the near future. Printing money to make ends meet will only make our inflationary future more like the Zimbabwe model, nothing we should be trying emulate. Thank GOD that people are starting to see the light. Even from the "left" coast, Californians are revolting against this runaway government. Let's hope that continues...

The Obama administrations decision to close Gitmo before knowing what to do with the Terrorist prisoners there is very telling. They hold the same pre-911 mentality that lead to 911 in the first place. We ARE at WAR with an enemy that wants to destroy us, not make peace with us, but DESTROY us. You cannot deal with them on an individual case-by-case basis as if they are mere criminals in a U.S. court. The success of the Bush administration defense of our country and the excellent way that our armed forces are executing the war is 180 degrees off from what this administration wants to do. As they peel away one layer of security at a time, they take us one step closer to allowing our enemies to strike again. Mr. Obama, stop apologizing for our great great nation and minimizing our accomplishments. Stand behind our armed forces and security forces or get out of the way!

May 20, 1902 Cuba gained it's independence from Spain and became a Republic. In 1959 Cuba lost it's liberties and freedom and became a Communist prison state.

We all thought at that time that Communism had been defeated and other Communist regimes would surely fall. Unfortunately The Obama socialist are leading us down the path of destruction which could possibly culminate in a Communist future for this great land, man's last hope on Earth. It's not to late to change the course of history but we need to be hasty before the building blocks of Democracy crumble down around us.

Notre Dame, like other universities, had a standing invitation for the President of the United States to give the commencement address. Regardless of who is holding the office of president, it is an honor for any university to have a sitting president give their commencement address. Unfortunately for Notre Dame they chose to also bestow an honorary doctorate to the current president who is radically pro-abortion. So much so that even if a child is "born" from a botched abortion, he opposes giving that child the the necessary medical care that would save his life. For a Catholic University to bestow an honorary doctorate to someone whose beliefs as so contrary to Catholic teachings in deplorable.

The Obama's RADICAL policies are all intended to help minorities, the disadvantaged, the poor. This will be done by increasing the already huge tax burden on the so called "rich". By increasing the corporate tax burden (already the highest of industrialized nations). By increasing taxes on anyone making over $250,000 (now it's $235,000). Unfortunately like all other guilt driven liberal feel good solutions, they end up hurting the very people they proclaim to help! If only the socialist liberal inteligencia around us would realize that the smallest minority that we need to help is the INDIVIDUAL. Individual liberties are in the process of being eroded by The Obama's policies. The individual will end up paying for his mistakes. So much for "caring" and "feeling" for minorities!

Ms. Pelosi took an oath of office to "protect and defend", that oath may have kept her from complaining about the interrogation techniques that she was briefed on. The problem for her arises from the fact that her "Ultra Liberal" views and allies are at odds with that complacency. So, the story goes, she "lied" about her knowledge of the briefings thinking that they were top secret and wouldn't come out. She is now caught up in liberal quick-sand and web of deceit from which she may never emerge. Leaders like her would bring about our destruction, our enemies would merely have to wait it out. Good riddance Blinky!

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
Dick Cheney is the truth squad for the Republican Party. Speaker Pelosi in my opinion is either a liar or an incompetent and it could be both. She was relying on the “top secret” nature of the briefing she attended and the numerous others her staff attended in her behalf, to shield her from the truth emerging as to what she knew, when she knew it and what she did with the information she was briefed on. Who better that Dick Cheney to rebut these issues? He was privy to all the necessary facts that few others were. He knows what enhanced interrogation was being done, how it was approved, who was briefed, and when, where, and who these methods were being used on etc. The facts in my mind are clear with regard to enhanced interrogation methods used under the Bush Administration: 1. They sought legal opinions for methods used; 2. They used such methods sparingly and out of necessity; 3. The methods used were effective; 4. The Leadership of both Parties were briefed on methods being used and those contemplated. Speaker Pelosi and others silence at the time was their approval of methods being used and those that could be used. If they did not agree with the Bush Administrations enhanced interrogation methods at the time, there was a whole host of things they could have done about it, including but not limited to, their own legal opinions, classified hearings, meetings with CIA Officials, sponsoring legislation, etc.
With regard to the breaking news that President Obama has changed his mind and will now not release alleged “torture photos” that depict U.S. Troops: If this had been May, 2008 instead of May2009, Candidate Obama would have without a doubt in my mind called for the unconditional release of these photos. There would not have been a “concern for the troops”. The Obama Campaign motives were to win at all costs and blame Bush for everything. Now that Obama is the President, he changes the rules to best fit his agenda. Policemen in America everyday abuse prisoners who are citizens, it is not right and it is not condoned. Likewise, there are members of our military who do the very same things . In both instances we have systems in place to deal with such abuses and bring those responsible to justice. Our enemy on the other hand fights without rules and recognizes no internationally accepted laws of engagement. They routinely torture, maim and behead their captives. They answer to no one for their lawless acts. Because, we operate under rules of law, we fight under great disadvantage. But we follow the law none the less. The vast majority of our troops are doing their jobs to the letter of the law. For those who don’t, we take appropriate actions against them. The President’s current decision not to release the photos in question is the right one. Let us see how long he sticks to his guns.

Government run Social Security is going bankrupt! Government run Medicare is going bankrupt! Do you think they can do any better with a nationalized health care system? If people in countries with nationalized health care systems come here when they have to have health care, where are we going to go? It reminds us of a great quote from Albert Einstein, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results." How dumb-ed down is our education system that we have fallen for the stupidity we are witnessing today?

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:

The President’s desire to extend unemployment benefits for an additional 26 weeks for persons seeking to “re-train” tells us how bad the economy actually is. I predicted some time ago that unemployment would reach double digits by summer. We are almost there now. In fact, there are some who believe we are already there, if you take into account those who have stopped looking for work, and those who now are working part-time, who were full-time employees. The President is warehousing people instead of creating the opportunity for employment. Providing an additional 26 weeks of government support provides no incentive, (during the total of 52 weeks of benefits), to get back to work. Paying people to be unproductive never works. Of course there are some who need to be retrained and should be, but, an across the board policy of extending benefits will not help get us back on our feet. The Obama Administration’s policies take away personal responsibility and accountability. If you got in over your head in a mortgage, don’t worry, the government will help you stay in a home you should never have been in, in the first place. Oh, you don’t pay taxes too? No problem, the government will send you a check. You say you cannot find a job within the 26 weeks of unemployment insurance? We can help there as well. Just agree to “hide out” in school for an additional 26 weeks and we will pay you to do that too. I say enough is enough. We are only digging a deeper hole of debt that we may never get out of for generations. Stop the spending. Start the real savings by cutting back on government spending and incentivize the private sector to start hiring and producing. Just this week the President proudly announced that he and his staff found 17 Billion dollars in annual savings. Sounds impressive, until you put that up against a 4 Trillion dollar budget. It’s like finding 5 dollars on the sidewalk. Its nice to have happen but it isn’t going to change your life.

The stress tests were placebos not the real medicine needed to fix our banking problem. This was an exercise in futility. What should have been done was audits by independent entities. The Obama Administration did not want to go that route because time and control was not on their side. I have zero confidence in what is being done because the government has abandoned free market practices for public relations stunts that mask or skew the true conditions of our financial services. The government should focus more on oversight and less on control. With all the money we pumped in the auto industry they still are pursuing bankruptcy protection. Our laws should be for everyone, no matter their size. Let the marketplace rule, with necessary government rules and oversight.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
When a President says something, everything he says is scrutinized because, the choice of a particular word has meaning within the context of how it is used. From my experience of working within White Houses, I can attest at the great pains caused by the choice of words in speeches, radio addresses, state of the unions, proclamations, etc. Every word is parsed for its obvious and not so obvious meanings. It is clear by the sheer number of commentators who have spoken on this issue, that the word “empathy” when used in the context of a Supreme Court Nomination has a meaning to some that transcends the ordinary Webster definition. Some have called it a “code word” others a “signal” that what the President means to say is that he is looking for a person who won’t be afraid to be an activist on the Court. Now we can debate what activist means. The word will mean different things to different constituencies. The left and the right relish a good Supreme Court confirmation. Both sides will spin the nominee and the process to fit their own ideology. Nobody expects President Obama to appoint a Justice that Bush would have appointed, so , we are going to get a Liberal Justice. The only question remains is how Liberal? How big will the fight get? Will there be enough to fight over? The first battle in what could be a long and drawn out confirmation has already taken place over what the type of person the President is seeking and the qualifications he admires. Let the games begin!

The President should deliver a strong message to Pakistan and Afghanistan. To both, he should give them a timetable to push back on the Taliban and go on an all out offensive. He should demand a plan from both for poppy destruction and push the Taliban back into the stone age. We need to make sure Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is secure and we should have inspector’s there now to monitor their safety. President Obama should offer both countries incentives to meet benchmarks. These incentives should be in the way of civilian aid. We will help rebuild critical infrastructure, schools, hospitals, power plants, water treatment and waste facilities, etc. Finally President Obama skewered President Bush throughout the Campaign for not capturing Osama Bin Laden. He should demand from the Pakistani’s and Afghani’s that they turn him over now. President Obama will find out how difficult it is to be President after the conclusion of these meetings, and how you cannot “will” results. Results take a lot of hard work and investment and making decisions that may not be popular at the time, but must be made nonetheless.

Our economy is starting to show signs of recovery. Perhaps if the government would have stayed out of the private sector the recovery would have started sooner. The greatest economy in the history of the planet is very resilient and has proven time and again that corrections happen and the sky won't fall. Unfortunately the socialist's in power now have taken advantage of the "perfect storm". Soon their policies will cripple our recovery. Their refusal to allow more drilling offshore and in our own oil deposits will surely cause the prices to increase, further hampering our recovery. This is not rocket science, it's logic. Unfortunately the socialist would rather protect their environmental wacko lemmings then the American family. Soon they'll be protecting the tick because his head is size challenged!

Is it time, as Gov. Mitch Daniels says, for the GOP to stop whining about the "Democrats not being bipartisan" and start working "on alternative ideas?"
The reality of governing in 2009-2010 is that Republicans are powerless to stop the Administration or the Democrats. Republicans do not have the votes or the rules on their side in either the House or the Senate. As far as the Senate is concerned the Democrats were able to get by defection, what they could not have attained by an election at this point in time. They will soon have a filibuster proof, closure assured majority in that body. Governor Daniels is right, now is not the time for hand-wringing and whining. Now is the time to use this time to rebuild the party from the ground up. We need to attract candidates and look for election opportunities. We need to identify leaders and better coordinate our message. The basic tenets of the GOP are sound and are as important today as they were when Kemp led the charge in the early 80’s. There is a fundamental difference between the way Republicans govern and Democrats. The distinctions have never been clearer than they are today. We need to give the Democrats enough rope and then we can capitalize on their missteps and overreaching. Republicans should not shy away from the basics, lower taxes, less government, more power to the local and state governments in education, market based health care, a strong military and national defense, a robust and principled foreign policy based on strength and free market trade, etc. We should always offer alternatives to what the Democrats propose but, in reality we could have the best ideas to offer and the Democrats would never take us up on it. They believe it is their time to lead and I believe it is our time to rebuild to fight another day. The next battle is 2010 and we have a lot of work to do.

The Obama anti-business socialist-gravy-train continues down the track unabated. The class-warfare attacks on business to help the "little guy", the downtrodden amongst us, only serves to hurt the ones they pretend to help. Removing legitimate tax exemptions for multinational firms and expanding the IRS enforcement division by 800 will only cost more jobs to be lost from those businesses. Once again the growth is in government at the expense of the private sector. And so, the socialist-gravy-train continues to chug down the line, with a clueless conductor at the controls...

Jack Kemp’s passing is the death of an American Conservative Icon. Most noted for his strong fiscal conservative values, he believed in low taxes, small government and supply side economics. We remember with great admiration and respect his crafting of the Economic Recovery Act of 1981, where under the Administration of Ronald Reagan, he helped pass sweeping economic reforms that led to the great prosperity we experienced during that time and helped fuel the “Reagan Revolution”. It was too bad he wasn’t 20 years younger, because if ever we needed Jack Kemp it is now. The very opposite of what he believed and advocated his entire professional life has now come to be with this new administration, higher taxes, bigger government, socialized medicine, weaker defense, etc. Jack Kemp although very set in his economic ways was less so on social issues like immigration.

Jack Kemp lived the American Dream. He was a college football star, a professional football star, he served in he Army reserves, he was an entrepreneur, a journalist, a Congressman, a Cabinet Secretary, a Presidential Candidate, a Vice Presidential running mate, an author, a lecturer, a man of faith, a family man, and a patriot who loved his country.

He will be missed by all Americans who believe in the American Spirit and believe that anything is possible, if you put your mind and heart to it. God Speed, Jack Kemp.

Justice Souter's betrayal: Nominated by President George H. W. Bush, he has consistently voted on the liberal side of supreme court decisions. When anyone retires he must consider many things, when a supreme court justice retires does he also consider who will be nominating his successor? If so, why didn't Justice Souter retire last year, or 2 years ago? This would have shown respect for President Bush, but maybe to much to ask from a liberal justice. Now the most liberal president in our history will be nominating the next justice. The Obama believes that a justice needs to take into account "feelings", he needs to "understand" minorities, the poor and disadvantaged. What bunk! Cases before the supreme court should only be judged on our constitution and case law. To judge cases on a liberally perceived "living constitution" would surely bring about it's death.

Justice Souter could retire as early as June of this year. That would mean President Obama could have his first Supreme Court Justice appointed and confirmed by the Senate by the end of 2009. Depending on how controversial the nominee is, will determine how united the Republicans, Independents and Conservative Democrats will be in opposition and outrage. There is nothing more polarizing than a Supreme Court nomination. It creates great fodder. A fresh Supreme Court battle could be just what the doctor ordered for Republicans hopes for gains in 2010 midterm elections.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
Kudos to the President for starting off his Press Conference with a very strong and confident statement with regard to the Swine Flu threat to our nation and what the government is doing to monitor and prepare. Now with regard to the rest.

The President said we can no longer tolerate a economy built on sand however, I believe we clearly cannot build a economy built on debt, high taxes and irresponsibility. The solutions to our economic woes does not lie in nationalization it should rest with the People. The Democrats believe that in these perilous times when the private sector ails, it is up to the government to make up for that difference.

The American People in the short term do not have an option but to trust the President and Congress, because for the moment their is no credible opposition to what he and the Democrats are enacting. With a Republican Party that does not have the votes necessary to stop the Democratic Steamroller and without an Administration or Congress interested in bipartisanship there is not much anyone can do.

The People will come to realize that the change they have gotten is not the change they bargained for. I believe they do not want socialized medicine, nationalized education, bigger government, a national energy strategy that is not comprehensive or equitable, a weaker national defense and foreign policy, an immigration policy that rewards illegal aliens and punishes employers and does not secure the borders first, taxes and spends too much and nationalizes our once greatest industries. When the American People come to realize that the "change" they voted for is not the change they expected, the Republicans will rise again and be given another chance to lead.

With regard to torture, the President has a disagreement with the prior administration with regard to methods. The fact that he believes water-boarding to be torture does not make it so. The fact that he chooses to stop this or other practices under his watch is a decision he will have to live with. He or anyone else is not wise in second guessing a former administration that kept us safe from further attack after 9/11 when they used their best efforts under the law as they saw it in doing so.

On Iraq the President realizes that there is a lot of work yet to be done but, at least now he is listening to the Generals on the ground. The President today, is a lot more informed and rationally based on what is possible on Iraq than he was as a candidate.

The President claims that his outreach to Republicans has been genuine. However, in the next breath he says the American People voted for me and the Democrats, so, therefore the Republicans cannot expect to get anything substantive they want. That's like inviting someone to dinner but not allowing them to eat. It is clear this President and Congress believe it is their time.

The New York Times Reporters question was the most soft ball question I have ever witnessed at a Presidential News Conference and was so weird that it drew laughs from the President and the reporters present. Their love shows no bounds.

The President failed to specifically state his differences with the Bush Administration's policy and use of the State Secrets Doctrine, (which protects State Secrets form disclosure in judicial proceedings), other than to say it is "overly broad". The Obama Administration is on a kick, across the board to establish a mantra that if Bush did it, we won't or we don't. That is not a reason to change policies that worked in the past and will work on their watch as well.

Overall, the President's performance continues to be scripted from his opening statement, to the reporters he called on, to the answers he gave.

Breaking News: Arlen Specter to run as Democrat
Arlen Specter is a selfish not a selfless politician, who like Sen. Byrd has over stayed his welcome. Specter knew that if he remained a Republican he was likely to get knocked off in a bloody primary fight, so, opportunistically he knew that the chances for him to be re-elected is best as a Democrat. He did not switch parties over ideology he switched for his own self interest. Service should be an opportunity not a career and whether you are a Republican or a Democrat there comes a time when its time to move on. The Republican Senate Caucus should kick Specter out today. He made his bed and now he must lie with the Democrats. Good riddance.

A word on the buzzing of NYC and "Ground Zero" by the Presidential Aircraft and military fighter jets : The President should fire the head of the White House Military Office for approving a publicity photo flight of NYC by the Presidential 747 escorted by military fighters. New Yorkers were scared out of their minds to see a 747 flying so low around the city being "chased" by military fighter jets. The White House needs to release the Manifest for the 747 and detail the cost if this boondoggle. I suspect the cost will be close to half a million dollars to stage publicity photos that could have been accomplished on a computer. This was a serious lapse in judgment and a waste of Tax Payer money in very perilous economic times.

A note on the World-Wide outbreak of Swine Flu: Hats off to the Bush Administration and Former HHS Secretary Leavitt and the professionals at HHS, CDC, FDA, the Surgeon General and others, for sounding the alarm and coordinating a nationwide strategy to prepare our professionals and population for the next Pandemic. The question is not whether our nation will suffer another Pandemic, the question is when and how severe it will be. A few years back HHS set forth a national Pandemic Review and Preparedness Strategy borne out of the Bird Flu cases seen in Asia. The Bush Administration recognized the need to plan for the next Pandemic and did a great job in putting forth a workable common sense plan. The Obama Administration will be in good stead to deal with the current Swine Flu scare by working off the game plan provided by HHS. HHS Secretary Leavitt went to all 50 States and set up conferences with Federal, State, and Local Governments, Hospitals and First Responders to coordinate a response and maintenance protocol in isolating and treatment of a Pandemic no matter its size and scope. The key to getting a hand on a Pandemic is recognizing it and trying to isolate, quarantine and treat those effected as early as possible.

Why is The Obama government refusing to take back TARP "loans"? Wasn't this supposed to be a temporary fix to keep financial institutions and companies solvent? To get out from under the management by a socialist administration, some banks and companies are trying to pay the "loans" back. Unfortunately The Obama administration does not want to lose control so they chose to make this process difficult. As a hedge on their control they wish to use the "stress test" to determine if a company or bank is in danger of going under, if The Obama administration concludes that they are, then the stranglehold continues. This is nothing more than nationalizing American industry and financial institutions, in other words SOCIALISM! When government took over the Mustang Ranch in Nevada, they ran it into the ground. If they couldn't make money running a whore house and selling whisky, do you want them running everything else?

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
On September 11, 2001, I was the Deputy Assistant to the President for Appointments and Scheduling, essentially the President's Gate Keeper. It was a beautiful September morning in DC. I arrived at my West Wing Office at the usual time, 6:15 am and prepared for the 7:30 am Senior Staff Meeting in the Roosevelt Room. The President and Chief of Staff Card were in Florida and Josh Bolten was the highest ranking staffer at the White House besides the Vice President. After the Senior Staff Meeting, I went back to my office on the first floor of the West Wing and began my normal office routine. As was my habit, I constantly had a news station on my office TV. I always kept volume down even during meetings, so I could immediately respond to news as it was happening. As I was doing my work, I heard reports being broadcast of a commuter plane that struck one of the towers of the World Trade Center. The story immediately grabbed my attention for several obvious and not so obvious reasons, the oddity of the accident, I am from NY and my Brother at the time, was a Commissioner of the Port Authority of NY/NJ which owns the Trade Center Towers. Needless to say, I was glued to the coverage, and I witnessed live the second plane strike the other Trade Center Tower. Like Cesar, I knew immediately at that time, that America was under attack and said so to my assistant. I immediately went into the Situation Room and heard and saw Josh Bolten swing into action. The West Wing Staff met in the White House Mess and were given instructions on evacuation and immediately after the briefing did so. I went to a off site location with about 100 plus staffers and I was the highest ranking staffer at that location. We all went to work. We wanted to know what other President's had done after the Marine Barracks Bombing in Lebanon, the Murrow Building Bombing in Oklahoma, the first World Trade Center Bombing, Etc. We wanted to compile a historical press prospective of how they reported the events and we also wanted to know what former Presidents did for a period of two weeks from the events. When did they address the Nation, who did they meet with, how did their schedules change. During the time I was leading the staff from the off site location, my brother was calling me and my sister, as my nephew Tommy Jurgens a Senior Court Officer and combat trained army medic was reported to have left his court house to respond to the scene and was missing. As it turned out, my nephew lost his life saving others. He disregarded orders from his superiors to leave the building and went back in to rescue others. At approximately 5:30 pm, I released the majority of the staff from my location and just myself a few others returned to the White House to join other Senior Staff for a meeting in the Roosevelt Room. We prepared for the President's return to the White House and his Address from the Oval Office that night. We threw out the President's planned schedule for 2 weeks and scheduled meetings and appearances as events warranted. I got home that night at Midnight and returned to work on 9/12 at 6am. I was never more proud of my Country and those who serve as I was and continue to be during this time. Everyone swung into action and went to work unselfishly with a primary focus to do whatever it takes to be helpful. Two days after 9/11, I told Andy Card that my Nephew was missing and that I may want to return to NY on the weekend. He asked me if I had told the President and I said I did not. He told me to do whatever I needed to do. Within five minutes of telling Secretary Card that my Nephew was missing the President called me on the phone and told me he is praying for the safe return of my nephew and pledged to me that he will find those responsible and bring them to justice. No sooner did I hang up the phone then the President was at my desk and repeated those statements and shook my hand. If anyone watched after 9/11 the response of our government with a critical eye it was me. I know first hand what the President, Vice President and the entire administration did to keep us safe from further attacks and to bring those responsible to justice. I am so proud to have served during this time with patriots so focused in doing the right things for the right reasons. We can second the actions taken by the Bush Administration but one thing is for sure, those who served acted with the best of intentions and were singularly focused in preventing further harm to our citizens. The proof of their efforts is without question, we have not experienced further attacks at home and abroad since 9/11 and it is principally because of the actions taken by the Bush Administration and Congress including but not limited to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, FISA, the reorganization of our intelligence services, the creation of a Intelligence Czar, and yes the legal Interrogation of our enemies.

Feinstein's intervention by penning a letter to the FDIC while a bid was pending to benefit her husband’s business with the FDIC was inappropriate at best. After her husband’s company “won” the bid, Sen. Feinstein introduced a 25 billion dollar bill further bailing out the agency that awarded the contract to her husband’s company, CB Richard Ellis Group. Sen. Feinstein’s husband’s company is charging outrageous fees in the sale of foreclosed properties. When brokers around the country are slashing their fees to get work, Mr. Feinstein’s firm charges for “setting up the sale”, “managing the property” and a 6 percent commission on the sale. In a volume contract that involves millions of properties, you would think the commission rate would be reduced and other fees waived. Well, in with Sen. Feinstein’s hubby who incidentally goes by the name Richard Blum, is gouging the U.S. Tax payer the very people the good Senator is suppose to be protecting. Why did a Senator who is not a member of a committee which overseas the FDIC write a letter to them while her husband’s contract bid was pending? Why after the contract award to her husband’s firm, did Sen. Feinstein sponsor a 25 Billion Dollar Bill aiding the very entity that awarded that contract? This stinks and it all should be investigated ASAP.

The President announced a most aggressive agenda when he took over. In January, he said he wants to make the economy. energy, socialized health care and education reform his top priorities his first year. Then just last week he added immigration reform to his list of first year accomplishments. The American People spoke very loudly last year with regard to immigration and in light of the current problems that we are seeing on the border they were correct. We need to secure the borders of our country from illegal immigration, drug smuggling and narco terrorists, before we take on any other immigration reforms. Comprehensive immigration reform is not realistic without securing our borders first. There is no way a mortal president will be able to come close to the aggressive agenda this president has set forth. Even in the best of times, something unforeseen will develop and derail one or more of his agenda items. In spite of the Democrats control of both houses of Congress with high majorities, the President will have a hard time getting through a first year legislative agenda with so many hot button, difficult and divisive issues.

Questions: When should a President not shake the hand of the Head of State or of Government?

The answer is a simple one. The President of the United States should never shake the hand of a brutal dictator from a country we do not have formal diplomatic relations with. There is a difference in being polite and being a Statesman. It was impolite at its kindness, for Chavez to have played our President like a pawn for his own political advantage and it was wrong for our President to have taken the bait. President Obama should have politely gestured Chavez back to his seat and not gotten up from his and not accepted a book that was also intended with a political message. The book Chavez gave the President of the United States was written by a well known leftist Eduardo Galeano and it is a anti-imperialist manifesto entitles “Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent”. Would Roosevelt have shaken the hand of Hitler? No. Would Roosevelt have accepted Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf” in a spirit of “friendship”? No. When I attended the Earth Summit in Rio with President George H. W. Bush, Castro did not have the kehones to shake his hand when they were together at the Class Photo, nor was Bush present in the room for his rant against the U.S. at the Summit Session. Chavez, Ortega, the Castro brothers, and other despots, know this President is desperate to be liked and will do anything to advance a U.S. appeasement and concession strategy. They are watching him very careful dismantle everything “Bush” and it was many of those policies that kept these dictators in check. No sooner did the handshake occur, than Chavez had it up on his website and the New York Times had it above the fold on its front page. That was “the” story of the entire Summit. It overtook all the good that could have come from it and all because our President wants to be liked. He has brought great embarrassment on our Nation.

American consumer credit worthiness relies on the opinion of basically three national credit-reporting agencies, (Experian, Trans Union and Equifax). These private entities gather information on individuals and unilaterally come up with a credit score for Americans without any input whatsoever from the consumers they are affecting.

Many creditors routinely provide all these companies with false, misleading or inaccurate information that becomes parroted by all three agencies in their reports and credit scores. Many times this incorrect information is provided intentionally or negligently.

Information providers have virtually no liability for their factually inaccurate data and act with impunity.

Creditors are given carte blanche to report whatever they want and their word is taken as gospel by the agencies. Never do these reporting agencies advise the consumer of potential harmful or derogatory information prior to reporting out their credit score. Never do these companies give the consumer the opportunity to correct such negative information before reporting out their credit scores. Rarely if ever, do credit agencies advise the consumer when their credit has been checked and who has checked it prior to the release of credit information.

Erroneous information contained in credit reports cost consumers hundreds of millions of dollars in higher interest rates and punitive charges.

Yes, consumers are entitled by law to receive a free copy of their credit report once a year from the big three credit agencies. Good luck though, trying to get a straight answer from any one of the credit agencies for alleged contested information. The consumer is treated as guilty until proven innocent. The review process for contested information is as secretive, as the process by which they come up with a credit score to begin with.

Computers programs run the entire credit process, from the gathering of credit information, to selecting a credit score, to the reporting of information, and to the correcting of information. It is next to impossible to talk to a human being to answer any question a consumer may have unless, the consumer is willing to pay a fee and subscribe to the services of the credit agencies they wish to talk with.

The credit agencies are in the pockets of the banks, and lending companies. The burden is put on the consumer to catch them if they can.

It is about time that consumers rise up against such shoddy treatment. If the credit agencies refuse to become more transparent and consumer friendly, then the legislature should enact rules and regulations that make the process more fair and balanced.

The big 3 credit agencies have created a cottage industry of charging for services that consumers should be entitled to as a matter of right.

Like a kid in a candy store, The Obama couldn't wait to prance across the floor to shake hands with the U.S. hating socialist leader of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez. One can only wonder what The Obama's response would have been if Castro was there.   Obama says we should move away from "stale" debates on Cuba. Mr. Obama, is it stale to stand up for freedom and liberty? Is it stale to defend GOD given human rights? Is it stale to expect Cuba's tyrannical dictator to allow the Cuban people freedom of speech, assembly and religious worship? Mr. Obama you have now officially joined your comrades in arms, the anti-U.S. socialist/communist crowd. You words don't mean didly when your actions show you lust for these fools. You want to take us down the socialist path of destruction, reinforced by your Saul Alinsky community organizing, neighborhood compliance committees and civilian security force. Sit back and have a cup of tea. The American people will not give up without a fight.

It served no purpose for the White House and DOJ to make public Bush Era Memos on interrogation when, the Obama Administration already had decided NOT to investigate or bring charges against any former member of the Bush Administration or employee of the government with regard to interrogations that followed the rules in place at that time. A simple statement by either the Attorney General or the White House would have been sufficient. The Obama Administration has decided to change the rules on their watch with regard to interrogation. I disagree with that decision. I believe their actions will make us weaker in gathering and obtaining information that could fend off further harm to us and our allies. The Bottom-line is that after 9/11 there was no further attacks to our Homeland precisely because of the the actions taken by the Bush Administration, including but not limited to a reorganization of our intelligence services and the interrogation techniques practiced. The release of these memos is fodder for our enemies who see our President as weak. Our enemies behead their captives after brutal interrogations. We put “caterpillars” in their cells to scare them, and make them listen to Madonna. Big difference. Our enemies do not follow any international law with regard to imprisonment or interrogation. We on the other hand, dumb down our own laws and international law in an effort to show our humanity at the expense of our safety. It will take another attack before we realize that playing nice does not make us safer, it makes us more vulnerable.

The inmates are running the asylum at Homeland Security. When Secretary Napolitano took over at Homeland what was her first order of business? She gave the edict, with the blessing of the Administration, that no longer would the government use the term, “war on terror” or “terrorism”. Instead the new lingo will be “man-made disasters”. The fact that Homeland sees fit to publish a report that can only be intended to further polarize an already polarized population is nuts. The country is divided in philosophy. Such a division does not make those in opposition right wing extremists, it makes them practitioners of democracy. There is not one scintilla of back-up for the outrageous conclusions contained in the Homeland report. The only “extremism” that exists in our country, can be found in those who serve a new government hell bent on governing by threat and raw power. They railroad Bills through without any opportunity for those called to vote on it to even read it. They state very matter of factly to the opposition that, “we won, therefore we rule”, yet they claim to seek bipartisanship. The Democrats have been out of power so long that they feel the need for speed in governing. There exists a tremendous sense of entitlement on their part. Either you are with them or against them, and if you oppose them you are labeled a “right wing extremist”. I would say that is pretty extreme.

On Tax Day it is appropriate to discuss what should be done to change our current tax structure. I have some ideas..........
We need to scrap the 60,000 page Tax Code. A simple two tier simplified individual tax, the rates to be decided. The deductions should be limited to home mortgage deduction, and charitable deductions. The corporate tax would be fixed at 25 percent. Capital Gains should be graduated down, (starting at 10 percent), so the longer you own an asset, the less tax you pay when you sell it. I would also eliminate the Death Tax.

With Regard to the Tea Party’s all across America today:

Taxation with over representation is as bad as taxation without it. Growing government at a time of financial crisis is lunacy. Those who are in the majority in power, believe in themselves more than the people who put them there. They believe government is the cure all, and it is the government's responsibility to make up for the lost productivity of the private sector. They actually believe that it is patriotic to grow government in tough times. Well I say no! Return power to the people. Reduce the burden of over taxation, unleash the power of creativity, incentivize the ingenuity of our citizens, and America will prosper again. My message to those in power is a simple one. Get out of our way! We don' t want your socialized medicine, we don't believe in your Robin hood theory of economics, and we condone the mortgaging our future and those of generations to come, because your reckless taxing and spending and borrowing. Mr President, you can tell your socialist buddies at home and abroad, tyranny in 2009 shall not prevail in America. Like 1773, it is Tea Time in America!

The Administration like the Democratic Leadership in Congress are drunk with power and in a rush to either reverse past administration policy or make their own as fast as they can. They are acting as if they only have 100 days in office rather than 4 years. With regard to Cuba, the President and the State Department obviously gave their blessing to members of the Congressional Black Caucus to visit Cuba last week and meet with the dictator brothers Castro. The Castro's put on a show, and the Members of Congress were bit players. They were taken in by Fidel and Raul and their propaganda, as was the President. We should not be rewarding Cuba with unilateral concessions. They have retarded generations of their own people with their brutal regime and they are no friend of the United States. The President’s policy of apology and concession will not work in Europe, the Middle East or in our own Hemisphere.

My advice to the President with regard to the Summit of the Americas is this, democracy and free trade is what made us the greatest Nation on earth and it is those same principles that will make the Americas prosper as well. We need the Columbia Free Trade Agreement. We need to promote democracy and make the people of the Americas feel that they are just as important to us as is Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

During the 5 day Somali pirate attempted takeover of a U.S. flagged ship and taking of the captain as a hostage, The Obama kept quiet. No forceful statement of condemnation or support for our military's capability to respond was uttered by his blame-America-first lips. Perhaps it was so his administration could blame our military for failure, if that had occurred. News reports crediting The Obama for giving orders to shoot the pirates are laughable knowing the military has standing orders to take action if that action will save the hostages life. The hostage, Captain Phillips, had an AK47 pointing at him when the pirates were in position to be taken out. Once again our military has proven to be the best. Unfortunately, The Obama administration's few budget reductions are in our defensive capabilities. So much for leadership.

Now that the Worlds attention has been shone on African Pirating, maybe the international community will finally act to stop it once and for all. It is unacceptable for rag tag criminals to rule the seas with impunity. Isn’t it about time that the United Nations did what they were chartered to do.? Shouldn’t they be the ones to rally the World to stop this scourge? Commercial ships must be allowed to defend themselves. Ships should be allowed to travel with trained armed onboard security. The rules of engagement must me retooled to allow a ships crew to deal with threats themselves if they can. This law enforcement operation by the U.S. Navy was avoidable. The millions of dollars this cost the U.S. Tax Payer should not have been necessary. This is not nor should it be a U.S. Problem alone to solve.

The Administration, Faculty and Student Body of Arizona State should be ashamed of themselves. Their behavior is a black eye for the University and the entire Nation. President Obama without question “qualifies” for the awarding of a Honorary Degree based on any reasonable standard of achievement and certainly in light of the other past honorees of the university including but not limited to the Vice Minister of Education of the Peoples Republic of China. If the President were vindictive he would send The Vice President in his stead, that would teach them.

The President was apologetic and weak in his words, deeds and demeanor on his first debut at a international summit and tour of Europe. He went hat in hand to Europe, and as a result let the Europeans and others off the hook on their financial and security obligations around the world. It is disgraceful that the President was only able to get 20 Summit nations to commit to One Trillion Dollars in financial stimulus when our country is ponying up Trillions, some of which by the way, has already gone to prop up European banks. President Obama failed to get the Europeans, the Germans and French in particular, to commit troops on the ground to Afghanistan. While America is sending 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan the French are sending 300. The French troops will not be joining us on the battlefield though, they will be used for training purposes only. The President was weak in dealing with China, when he did not demand China take more responsibility for North Korea’s violation of international law, when during the Summit North Korea fired a long range missile over Japan. The President showed weakness when he bowed before the King of Saudi Arabia in a clear gesture that will be seen by the Muslim World as subservience to a Muslim ruler. The President believes that if “we” were only nicer and more conciliatory, the U.S. Would be beloved all around the world. I respectfully remind the President of what our great American President Teddy Roosevelt once said, “speak softly and carry a big stick”. There is a difference in speaking softly and speaking weakly. You will never be respected by being weak at a time when our allies and our enemies already perceive us as being weakened both economically and militarily. We know this to be true by what the President was not able to accomplish on his Europe trip. The President defiantly has the soft speak down, now he just needs someone to hand him his stick.

On another note: I am sickened by the love fest that occurred between the Dictator Brothers, Raul and Fidel Castro and members of the Congressional Black Caucus who just returned from Cuba. They were taken in by these despots and sung their praises in Cuba and on their return to America. They are nothing but dupes, who were played like a fiddle by a regime who is brutal to their people. Their visit is nothing but a propaganda bonanza for Cuba’s internal and external uses. I assume they are planning their next tax payer paid junket to visit Chavez of Venezuela and Kin Jong il of North Korea.

Thankfully The Obama whirlwind-I'm-not-George-Bush-and-America-has-been-bad tour is over! In Turkey The Obama stated that America is not a Christian, Muslim or Jewish country. We're just a group of people with shared principles and ideals. He said we're no different than other people in other countries. In flesh and blood we agree, in the broader sense we strongly disagree. The exceptionalism of the United States of America based on a Judeo Christian foundation and rooted in our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution sets us apart. The freedoms and liberty enshrined in our founding documents guarantees our Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. This liberty to excel has made our economic infrastructure the backbone of the worlds' economy. We are overwhelmingly a Christian nation. One that welcomes people from all nations, all religions and also those that chose not to believe. We do not look down or condemn those that are different than us. We do disapprove of those that want to take our liberty and freedoms because we don't conform to theirs. An individual can go to Spain and become a Spanish citizen, but he will never be a Spaniard, he can go to Russia and become a Russian citizen, but he'll never be Russian. Anyone that comes to the United States of America legally and becomes a U.S. citizen, is an AMERICAN. We are an exceptional people with an exceptional history, Mr. Obama, stop talking us down! In GOD We Trust.

It’s time for the sun to set on Summers. The Press is reporting that the President’s chief economic advisor Larry Summers was himself a greedy pig who just this past year was paid by his fellow wall street buds more than 5 Million Dollars in compensation. While these executives were looting their companies and running them into the ground, Mr. Summers did not miss the opportunity to partake from their feedbag. All the economic advisors, treasury secretaries and the like have one thing in common, a incestuous relationship with Wall Street. It is where they came from, it is where they made their riches before coming to government and it is where they go back to, to make more. They “oversee” and “regulate” their friends. There is no arms length relationship. The President talks about aspiring to have the most transparent and ethical administration this country has ever seen and it has been to date everything but. He rails on Wall Street greed and he hires as his chief economic advisor the poster boy for it. He shames corporate executives for taking millions from companies who are going down the tubes and are taking US Bailout Dollars yet, the head person of his economic team is a pig himself. Mr. President you saw fit to fire the CEO of GM and you saw fit to call out Wall Street Execs who paid themselves millions in bonus money, will you fire Larry Summers for the same type of behavior you admonish others for? You can’t make this stuff up, Our Treasury Secretary is a tax cheat, the President’s chief economic advisor is guilty of the same type of greed that he now is charged to stop, the OMB Director this week was on the John Stewart Comedy Show yucking it up on how bad the economy is, Geithner cannot find anyone to work with, and the list goes on.

The President and the Democrats in Congress have exploited the financial crisis to advance their socialist big government tax, spend and borrow agenda. But for the excuse that, “emergency spending is necessary to starve off a total financial melt down”, they would never have had the “opportunity” to pass such life changing legislation. The President’s intrusion into the Corporate Board Room is more than a little disturbing. The fact that the President of the United States announced the firing of a CEO of America’s most iconic corporations is the most troubling. The Democrats have the perfect storm to make generational changes to our society. They have a President, a Senate, the House, and the power to reshape the Judiciary, and most importantly, they have the cover of a global financial crisis not seen since the Great Depression to blame all their deeds on. When the storm is over, the wreckage left behind by the Democrats will make Katrina look like a summer sun shower. The American People will then come to realize the need for “change” and will return the Republicans to power. The bad news is, we all must suffer through a very, very bad storm.

On the G-20: President Obama should be listening to the other World Leaders but, he should not be a wallflower. The World perceives America as being weakened by the financial crisis and that perception becomes more of a reality if our President is weak in his participation at these meetings. America should never miss an opportunity to lead.

Ted Stevens: I commend Attorney General Holder for having the guts to right the wrong of a Justice Department gone bad with regard to the prosecution of former Senator Ted Stevens. The wrong may be corrected by the Court, with the dismissal of the charges, but, that should not be the end the story. The Justice Department should go after the rogue prosecutors to the fullest extent of the law. For the government to suppress exculpatory evidence and for prosecutors to be held in contempt for doing so by a Judge, is beyond the pale and amounts to a direct assault on a individuals fundamental constitutional rights.

GOP Budget: The GOP budget although an exercise in futility because we do not have the votes to enact it, is nonetheless important because, it shows the weaknesses of the Democrats budget and educates the American People. There are fundamental differences between the Republicans and the Democrats on solving the financial crisis. Republicans believe that our way out is to empower people by giving them the ability and the tools necessary to grow our way back to financial health through tax cuts, incentives, cutting/freezing of discretionary government spending, affordable non-government run health care, etc. The Democrats believe in bad times we need to grow government to make up for the loss of private sector growth. They believe in taxing in bad times. They want to form a massive socialized medicine program to provide substandard health care for all and they want to coddle illegal aliens that are in our country by providing them and their families with some of the same rights a legal citizens. Democrats want to redistribute wealth and reinstitute the welfare state of the 1960’s we fought so hard to crush. The Republicans way back to the majority is to fight the Democrats every step of the way pointing out to the American People the deficiencies of their policies and to offer real alternatives.

Capitalism and small government made our economy the strongest in the world. Why is the U.S. dollar the worlds currency? You know the answer! Instead, The Obama and his crew are asking others to join in a global governmental spending spree that will cripple economies and enslave their people with socialism for many generations to come.

Cuba's economic and political misery is a shining example of the failures of socialism/communism.

The Benedi Doctrine clearly points out the institutional violation of human rights in the communist system. The communist in Cuba have been able to trade with the rest of the world all along. They've received six billion dollars a year from the former Soviet Union to prop up their failed system. When the Soviet Union collapsed, the Chinese stepped in with support. The Obama's congressional accomplices are now on the path to increase support for the communist system which enslaves and murders it's citizens. We should be standing with the Cuban people in their struggle for their God given freedom. Shame on our leaders for preparing the way to make a deal with the Devil!

If someone kills a pregnant woman, that person is charged with a double murder, if she take her own child's life, no questions asked. This government is constantly encroaching on our Liberty to achieve our full potential by penalizing that achievement. This government also believes in our Pursuit of Happiness, but only as long as we are "equally" happy, in other words, "equally" miserable!

The President has it all wrong. He was wrong on his comments on AIG, when on the Leno Show he made excuses for AIG’s behavior, saying that although shameful, was legal. He was wrong on his Press Conference when he said the following in response to MSNBC Chuck Todd’s question on Consumer overspending, “....once the economy stabilizes and people are less fearful, then I think that we’re going to have to start thinking about how do we operate more prudently, because there is no such thing as a free lunch.” Mr. President people are fearful of the government’s ability to understand and solve our problems. They are fearful as well of governments out of control government spending, borrowing and taxing. Mr. President, now is the time to act prudently. Now is the time to show the American People that their government can be as responsible as you hope they would be. The long term health of our Country depends on how prudently we act as a government and a people. The President is right when he says, “there is no such thing as a free lunch”, however, his words do not match his actions or intent. He is not giving out free lunches he is giving out ten course meal’s, creating a whole new class of government dependents with his plans. The old saying by Loa Tzu, “Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”, is the only way out of our crisis. We need to create jobs and opportunity. We do not create prosperity through Robin hood economics of taking from the rich and giving it to everyone else. We create prosperity by being responsible and prudent NOW! Reduce government spending, reduce taxes, incentives business’ to hire or retain employees, and invest in energy and selective infrastructure projects and we will be well “fed” for a very long time.

When listening to The Obama we are reminded of the old saying, "Don't do as I do, do as I say", the difference is that with The Obama you need to "Watch what he does, not what he says!" He talks about the huge deficit he inherited and the need to cut it, but then proposes to more than triple it in his budget. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that with the spending spree and budget the national debt will increase by 9.3 trillion dollars in the next decade. The Obama continues to iterate that the government will give us the growth we need. What he fails to acknowledge is that government is NOT the engine of prosperity and growth, the American private enterprise capitalist system is and always has been the greatest engine of growth the world has ever seen. His type of government growth can only happen at the expense of the private sector and will only grow the government. Whenever that socialist method has been tried in the world, it has failed. Lets not copy failure!

This is Deja Vu all over again.

Then the Secretary makes his long awaited pronouncement and the markets crash and the People run to put more money in their mattresses. Well, it did not work a few weeks ago, but perhaps it will this week.

On Bailouts: The President was wrong to assert on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show that the practices of the banks and other financial institutions, that got us in this mess although wrong was in fact “legal”. What he should have said was, that he is instructing the Attorney General to look into those practices and determine if there is any criminal or civil liability, and if there is, vow to go after all those culpable. We should use every effort available to re-coup bonus’ that were paid wrongfully. We also may have remedies available to us, since after all, we own a majority interest in the companies whose employees received these shameful bonus’. Let’s use our clout as Shareholders to protect our interests within the framework of the state laws of incorporation of the companies we own as well as applicable federal law.

The Obama appealed to the Iranian Mullahs from a position of capitulation. Sounding weak and willing to compromise with the enemy after defeating them, in our opinion is surrender. Iran was at the root of the insurgency and weapons flow into Iraq. Grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory is fine for our socialist/communist leader. "Change" you can believe in!

While we're side tracked on the many issues that The Obama has placed before us, the house approved a plan to set up a new 'volunteer corps'. Last year during the campaign The Obama gave a speech indicating that he wanted a 'Civilian Security Force' as powerful and well funded as the military. This force or 'volunteer corps' would wear uniforms and most likely be indoctrinated in the ways of good Marxists, for the good of the 'people'. Along with Rep. Hastings proposing to set up civilian holding areas on military bases this is a very dangerous scenario. It's hard to believe that this is really happening and the 'drive-by media', as Rush puts it, are going along with it. Soon the 'silent' majority will be heard!

The Obama and Dodd have been caught in their web-of-deceit. Their game plan of class warfare and populist anti-corporate propaganda will backfire. The American people are starting to see through their madness. We believe that The Obama and Dodd, the two top recipients of AIG contributions by far, should return those contributions. After all, they didn't have an existing contract to receive them! Beware, as Thomas Jefferson once said, "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have."

How can The Obama do so many things at the same time? What happened to that "Spendulus" bill that was supposed to help the economy? If it was going to fix the problems, then why are they now trying to address the "problems"? Could it be they were taking advantage of the situation to "institute" their socialist agenda? After all, they stated that they shouldn't let this opportunity pass. Then we had AIG bashing by The Obama and his cronies, it was revealed today that the two top recipients of AIG political contributions where Sen. Chris "I didn't do it" Dodd and Barack Hussein "Dumbo" Obama. Oh what a surprise! How about a misdirect while we accomplish the destruction of the United States of America!!!

While trashing corporate America The Obama and his cronies are gearing up to give us the largest deficit in our history by far. They continue to complain about the deficit that they inherited, a deficit that was in part due to the War on Terrorism and Katrina. A deficit that would have been much greater if a democrat would have been in the White House. Complaining about a large deficit on one hand while proposing to more than triple it takes some nerve. Moving towards a socialist national health care system that would cover illegal aliens while considering to make U.S. Veterans pay for they own health insurance is outrageous!

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. AIG was saved from extinction by the American People. In these trying economic times countless contracts are being re-negotiated to save companies. Employees are taking less to save their jobs and help their companies survive. Individuals are tightening their belts and making tough choices in their households. The greed of AIG and others is without bounds. They feel a sense of entitlement instead of appreciation. The American People are sick and tired of corporate greed and arrogance. Congress needs to step up and bring AIG and others to task. Let's face facts, without the help of the American People there would be no AIG. There would be no employment contracts to enforce, no bonus' to be had. AIG and Corporations like them are Hogs.

The Obama has been busy lately trying to talk up the economy. You can track the downturn in the economy from the takeover of congress by the Democrats in 2006 and the constant trashing of the economy by the Democrats and The Obama. Gaining political power is more important to them than our economy, security and liberty. Even after The Obama's constant drumbeat of doom-n-gloom in order to pass his socialist transformation of our country, he had the "Audacity" to say the following to an gathering of CEO's last week:
"I believe that jobs are best created not by government, but by businesses and entrepreneurs like you who are willing to take risks on a good idea. And I believe that our role as lawmakers is not to disparage wealth, but to expand its reach; not to stifle the market, but to strengthen its ability to unleash the creativity and innovation that still makes this nation the envy of the world."
Does the word LIAR ring a bell? He's not going to get away with this massive fraud and sooner or later he will have to answer for it!

Clear your mind for a few minutes and take the time to read today's message from Dr. Orly Taitz. This courageous lady immigrated from the former Soviet Union, became a lawyer in the United States and is raising her family here. She could just sit back and watch what is happening to our country and "hope" for the best. But that's not her style. She has seen tyranny, she experienced what most Americans can't even imagine. Yesterday a liberal judge in liberal California following the lead of a liberal Attorney General (Jerry Brown) threw out Allan Keye's case challenging "The Obama's" qualification to be president of the United States under article 2 of our constitution. The ruling was simply that only the congress can challenge that eligibility. Clear your mind, take a look at the big picture, do you see what's happening to our country? Even clerks at the Supreme Court are withholding evidence from the justices. We need to wake up before it's to late. Take the time to read what Dr. Orly Taitz has to say.

From the White House web site in the "agenda-defense" section they have the following statement:

"Integrate Military and Civilian Efforts: The Obama-Biden Administration will build up the capacity of each non-Pentagon agency to deploy personnel and area experts where they are needed, to help move soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines out of civilian roles."
This taken along with The Obama's campaign proposal for a "Civilian Security Force as powerful and well funded as the military" and their renewed attack on the second amendment (Holder announces to bring back the ban on semi-auto guns), should give us reason to question their intentions.

Like a kid in a candy store thinking he can steal the candy before anyone notices, "The Obama" keeps trying to get away with it. Promising to eliminate "earmarks" yet signing a bill with nearly 9,000 earmarks in private shows his hand. He says that from now on we will require "transparency". He keeps kicking the can down the road and hopes no one notices until it's to late. The Stupid Frogs will fall in line and before they know it, it will be too late. The tide is going to turn! Americans are not as easily duped as we were this past election and sooner or later we will stop this nonsense. This is not Europe, we freed Europe and will not fall for the European trap!

Senators Menendez of New Jersey and Nelson of Florida, along with others, caved in on an amendment to the "Runaway-Bus" bill. The amendment eases trade restrictions with Communist Cuba and opens the door to normalization. A back-handed way of bypassing the approval process on such a critical geo-strategic issue as this. Along with the letter to the Russian president to sell out our east European allies in exchange for assistance with Iran, we now have more evidence of the incompetence of this administration and their allies.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:
The Chinese Government is again testing the metal of a new US Administration within its first 100 days. If you recall in April of 2001, the Chinese Government sent a fighter plane to harass a US Navy EP-3 plane operating in international air space off the coast of China. The Chinese eventually forced the US Plane it to land in China. They seized the plane and held the crew. The Bush Administration responded swiftly and forcefully and the matter was cleared up in very short order, the crew and the plane were returned to the US and the Chinese Government was rebuked. Now the Chinese are at it again. Just yesterday, the Chinese Government sent 5 ships to harass a US Navy Ship operating in international waters off China. The provocation is meant as a test. The Chinese want to see what the reaction of the new Administration will be. Although these actions may be seen as minor, but, I can assure you it is not. The Chinese have ways of sizing up a new administration, they do it economically, socially and militarily. The Obama Administration must react swiftly and forcefully. The message they send now will be very important in dealing with the Chinese for years to come.

Ambassador Korologos correctly states that Obama keeps blaming issues on others. We teach our children to take responsibility for your actions and your words. Or are his "just words"? Perhaps the disaster facing our country today is more deeply seeded than a recession or even a depression. Perhaps we are dealing with a far more sinister strategy than we could have believed possible? Gramsci ring a bell?

Tom Korologos, Former ambassador, consultant and Republican strategist:
I'm getting a little tired of Obama and the Ds blaming Bush for every little new pothole and economic downturn, yet whenever they make a pronouncement of any kind the market takes yet another dive. I don't have any master plan but how's about the President start by vetoing the $410 (b) billion omnibus appropriations bill which is filled with pork much of it from former Congressional members currently in his administration; call a private, no announcement, meeting in the situation room ask Rs, Ds, economists from all stripes and agree on something to help the banks and housing get back on their feet and, just like Bush ram it through and see what happens. Nothing else seems to work.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
The greatness of America rests not in our government, it rests in our people. We should not be growing government in trying times; we should be unleashing the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of our businessmen and women, our scientists, our students, and our inventors.

Growing government, to some how make up for the lost productivity of the private sector makes no sense. At this time, government should be cutting costs and reducing spending. Our lawmakers should be cutting taxes and providing incentives to the marketplace for investment and ingenuity.

Businesses that have been mismanaged should fail. Businesses that need to reorganize under bankruptcy laws, should do so. Government bailouts are not the answer. Our laws are for everyone, the corporation and the individual, the big, the tall and the small.

Our government should not be in the business of picking winners and losers by providing taxpayer funds to finance greedy, corrupt or incompetent businesses and practices.

People and corporations must be held accountable for their behavior, including but not limited to their business decisions. There must be more than a sense of responsibility it must be real and it must be accounted for.

There must be consequences. For those who have violated the public trust, they should be brought to justice and for those who have acted incompetently, they should be removed.

The marketplace is resilient. We will come back stronger economically, if Wall Street and Main Street operate on the same rules and principles.

Now is the time for sacrifice, but out of sacrifice we will be a stronger nation. We have all lost something of value in this past year, but there is nothing more valuable than our collective spirit and that is still in tact and unwavering.

The American People can solve any problem and over come any diversity. My message to my government is simple, 'Let my People go'! Get out of our way and lighten our load and we will come back stronger than ever.

On the road to destroying our country as we know it, Obama likes to be compared to one of our greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln. The following is our comparison:
Abraham Lincoln said: "You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich."
Obama thinks: The rich have exploited the poor, let's take what they have.
Abraham Lincoln said: "You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong."
Obama thinks: Why are they strong? It's not fair.
Abraham Lincoln said: "You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down."
Obama thinks: The wage payer needs to pay more taxes to pay for our welfare programs.
Abraham Lincoln said: "You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred."
Obama thinks: Class hatred will help us get elected and achieve our socialist goals.
Abraham Lincoln said: "You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence."
Obama thinks: They'll always need us if they're dependent!

Abraham Lincoln said: "You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."
Obama thinks: Why not?

The Vice President was locked behind closed doors getting his marching orders from the Executive Council of the AFL-CIO at their retreat at the posh Fontainebleau Hotel and Spa on Miami Beach. The Administration rails on U.S. Corporations for having meetings and conventions in similar settings, yet, when organized labor does it, they not not only get a pass, they get the Vice President of the United States to show up. The Obama Administration was to be the most transparent in history. Why then was the Press locked out of any coverage of this Union Event? What was so secretive that no press coverage was allowed? The 10 year Spending Bill that was just passed by Congress and signed by the President is a boon to Unions. It contains everything they could have ever hoped for. There is no doubt that Unions were instrumental in the victories the Democrats experienced this past November. This gives new meaning to the adage, "to the victor goes the spoils". For the Vice President of the United States to participate in a closed door Union "commission" meeting is a scene right out of "The Godfather".

Rush Limbaugh is being attack by the liberal press with marching orders from this liberal administration.

When you pick a fight with Rush you are picking a fight with all of us that believe in him and our shared conservative ideals. Bring it on!

Rush Limbaugh says what many think. First and foremost, Limbaugh is an entertainer and political philosopher. Through is humor though, is truth and candor. He is not a substitute for the leadership of our party but he does compliment it. His first “address to the nation” I deemed a home run on Fox News immediately following. He reminded Conservatives that we have nothing to be ashamed of. Our values are worth fighting for and we should never surrender our principles because we are not the majority party in power. Now is the time to re-double our efforts and hold Democrats accountable. Now is the time to fight back against policies that will do great harm to our Country. America is a right of center nation, regardless of what Democrats would like us to believe. They have over-reached in the governance already and their attitude that “we won, therefore, we rule”, will come back to haunt them. We need to get out act together, cultivate dynamic candidates and take them on in 2012. By then, the American People would have had quite enough of their Socialist policies and out of control government spending and intervention.

Dick Morris

The draconian tax increases on the segment of the population that pays most of the taxes, generates most of the jobs, employs most of the workforce, and accounts for much of the consumer spending will chill whatever small warmth the stimulus package can generate. How can Obama pretend that he wants to encourage confidence among bankers and consumers while he regulates them, taxes them, and vilifies them? His tax increases make it clear that he is less interested in solving the recession and the financial crisis than he is in vindicating his political agenda of redistribution of wealth and income. The price of this policy will be lost growth and lost jobs.

Seems like everyday brings a new round of spending beyond belief. Obama criticizes spending during the Bush administration years even though he voted for every one and even others that weren't approved. He criticizes the annual deficit during the Bush years yet his first budget would more than triple that deficit! He promises to cut the deficit in half during his term while bringing about the largest growth in federal spending ever, by far. Obama says with a straight face that he's against earmarks while pushing nothing but earmarks. His socialist/Marxist dreams are coming true at the expense of the American people and our future.

Here we go again. So much for bi-partisanship, the house today approved $410 Billion more of new spending. The vote went along party lines with little Republican participation allowed.

The President is right in his diagnosis of our problems, however, he is wrong in the cure for what ails us. We as Americans have become "momentarians". We live for today, instead of providing for today, and planning for our future. Democrats believe that we can tax and spend our way to prosperity. Republicans believe we should cut taxes and spending and grow our way to financial health. We believe in more stimulus and less investment with public funds. There was nothing new in this Address. It is the same ole same ole Democratic rhetoric. The difference being that this time they have the votes to make it reality. They really believe that, "we won, therefore, we rule". It is the responsibility of the minority party to support the majority when we can and challenge them when we must. We will never surrender our principles nor should we. The President puts the horse before the cart. He spends first and then talks about the "scalpel" he will use to cut spending. The biggest spender in the history of the world cannot be trusted to cut spending. There was nothing new in this speech, just a different venue. The Address should have been focused singularly on the problem at hand, the economy, and not every other policy issue under the sun. This was a State of the Union speech not a Joint Address on the most critical problem facing us.

Rep. Clyburn, Democrat from South Carolina is insinuating racism from the Republican Governors that are refusing federal government money. He says that the majority of people that would be affected are from the, "black belt", is that in Karate? We didn't know there was a "black belt". The reason they are refusing it is because of the strings attached. One of these strings is an extension of unemployment benefits that would be paid by the feds for 2 years. The bailout calls for the states that accept this money to make this change "permanently", even though fed funding wouldn't be. Before bankrupting their states, these brave governors are standing up to socialism being forced upon their citizens. They should be applauded!

The president unveiled his home mortgage assistance program today. Basically it calls for "rules-of-the-road" for banks to follow and keep people in their homes. Defaulting to the same type of rules that got us in this mess to begin with. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, with the assistance from corrupt groups such as Acorn and their Democrat buddies in Congress, helped lead to sub-prime failure. Forcing banks to make loans to people that didn't have the means to pay them back, all in the name of the Community Reinvestment Act and social engineering gone wild. So to fix this mess, let's force them to do it again. Don't worry, the American people will pick up the tab. Let's penalize the hard working American family that sacrifices to pay their mortgage by rewarding failure by the "defaulters".

Before long we'll hear the continued woes of the economy coming from this administration and their liberal/progressive/socialist accomplices asking for another one.

Through control of the legislature, an adoring manipulated media, socialist policies to maintain the publics dependence on big government, and "asking" those workers that are dependent to come out in support for you, it's not difficult to see how this could lead to tyranny.

Now that the "Bi-Partisan" "Spendulus" bill has passed and we're well on our way towards socialism, censorship is next. Although the vast majority of the media is very liberal in their reporting and choice-reporting of the news and political events, the one place where conservatives are the majority, talk radio, is soon to be targeted. The so called "Fairness Doctrine" which is really a "Censorship Doctrine", aims only to curtail conservative talk radio programming. None of the other forms of communication like newspapers or network TV would be affected. Let's hope that some Democrats see this for what it is, an attack on the first amendment, and help defeat it.

Bi-Partisan to Democrats in the House and Senate means, Republicans need not show up. That's if they were invited to begin with. The Democrats in the House and Senate have the gall to say they reached an agreement in conference for the "Spendulus" bill. Let's see if we can get this straight, they agreed with themselves? That's very reassuring. OK, now that they have this "agreement", it's time to rush the vote. Oh, didn't we tell you, you can't see what's in the bill until after you vote for it. The more light that was shined on the Senate bill the more people turned against it. That makes sense, "don't let anyone see it, then maybe they'll take our word for it". This massive "Spendulus" / Socialist bill is the largest transfer of power from the private sector to the government in our history. Socializing health care is just one part of it. While other governments in the world are moving towards our capitalist system, this administration and congress is moving towards the failed policy's of their systems.

Secretary Geithner blew it big time.

The President at his Press Conference
Monday evening announced that Secretary Geithner in a few days would make an
important announcement as to the mechanics of going forward with a
comprehensive plan to deal with our economic crisis beyond the 840 billion
Recovery Bill that is working its way through Congress. The American People,
Wall Street, and the World awaited this great announcement, this
comprehensive and detailed plan. Yesterday, the moment everyone was waiting
for came, Secretary Geithner appeared and delivered a TelePrompTer speech
looking like a deer in the headlights. He exuded zero confidence and his
words were hollow. There was no detailed plan, instead, he spoke of doom and
gloom and sacrifice and the failure to act. He talked in generalities and
additional costs of money and financial guarantees of the government to the
tune of over 2.5 trillion dollars. Wall Street responded to his speech with
one of the largest one day declines in recent memory. Geithner was billed as
the “financial whiz kid”, and the “only one who knows what to do and how to
get it done”. Well, based on what we all saw and heard yesterday this guy is
more like the Wizard of Oz than the Einstein of economics. The 64 Trillion
Dollar question is, what do we do now?

We have a new President that has high approval ratings but
doesn’t have the equally high caliber of people surrounding him that seem
capable of solving or communicating with confidence the solutions to our
financial woes. One thing is for sure, they all are good at painting a
picture of despair and catastrophe. The President needs to regroup fast. He
doesn’t have much time before the catastrophe of which he speaks becomes a
reality because of what he has done or not done to our economy.

Obama says; "The time for talking is over". Why is he still talking? The "Spendulus" bill is in conference between the House and Senate. Missing from this conference are Republicans. They were not welcome, so much for "Change" and bipartisanship. Even the weak-link-RINO's were not invited to the conference party they helped create. Democrats are trying to snow (no pun intended) the public by taking a controversial program out with one hand and replacing it with another, like a magician pulls a rabbit out of his hat.
*****

2-11-2009
As expected, the Senate passed the "Spendulus" bill, thanks in part, to the 3 RINO's. Collins and Snowe from Maine and soon to be ex-Senator Specter from PA. The Senate is supposed to be the place where legislation slows down and is debated to ensure that the public's best interest is upheld. Why was this bill rushed through? Why when light was shined on sections of this massive "Spendulus" bill that are wasteful and not "stimulus" where senators surprised? Shouldn't they have known what's in the bill they voted on? When money for the indicted group Acorn was pointed out, oops, "we don't know how it got in there", they said. When a section that would socialize our health care system was pointed out, oops, "we don't know how it got in there", they said. We could go on and on but, you get the point. Obama says we'll be building bridges and roads and put people back to work. I don't know about you but I don't know many bridge builders. This president is definitely NOT a bridge builder, if he was, he wouldn't be trashing his predecessor for spending which he voted for every step of the way. His party IS the tax and spend party! Their Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae socialism experiment is partially to blame for the sub-prime mess that helped get us here. Their trashing the economy, after the Iraq war turned around, helped create this situation (A turn around that wouldn't have happened if Obama was president, but that's a story for another day). Consumer confidence is a major part of our economy, you can't expect to keep putting our economy down, scaring us and expect us to react in a positive manner.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States, George W. Bush:

President Teleprompter was at it again. I cannot recall the last time, if ever, a President used a Teleprompter at a Press Conference. The President must learn to be less scripted. He even scripted the people and the news organizations he would call on. His first answer on the Economy from the AP reporter’s question, was rambling and hard to follow. He did not do a good job of explaining his plan and why it would be best for America. He said there would be an announcement tomorrow by the Treasury Secretary about the allocation of further TARP but gave no indication as to what he will say or announce. On Iran, he is hell bent on engaging with them directly without condition. This is rewarding bad actors without getting anything favorable to the US for our “change” of position. Making good on a bad campaign promise appears to be more important that doing the right thing. The President claimed that their are no earmark amendments in the Recovery Bill, if he read the Bill, he would have realized that the entire bill is made up of earmarks, thus there is not need to earmark an earmark. Apparently, we learned in the Press Conference that the President’s only main criteria for the Recovery Bill is that Congress promised that the Bill will create 4 million jobs. He doesn’t seem to care much about the nitty gritty. The Bill should have been his Bill not Congress’ in the first place. The President claims that confidence is important for the markets, yet he continues to be Dr. Doom when he talks about economic catastrophe will be fall us, unless we do exactly what he wants done. The President actually had to admit that Iraq is getting better politically and had tacit praise for the successful elections that took place last week. Had he been President in 2008 there would not have been a Surge and Iraq would be hopelessly lost. If The Press Conference was meant to sell the Recovery Plan, then, I think it was a failure. He would have done a much better job in a devoted nationally televised speech where he could walk the American People through it thoughtfully. The President ended the Press Conference in a very Statesmanlike manner when he said. “Thank you guys!”, waved and walked off. As an aside, I was shocked that Helen Thomas asked a coherent question on whether the President was aware of any Middle East Countries that possess Nuclear Weapons. A question the President would not answer.

He should say “The only thing to fear is fear itself…” (Forgive me, but I suggested that to FDR some years ago and as I recall it’s already been used). The point is he should lay off the total negative gloom-and-doom-and-disaster-and-awful-and-it’s-getting worse-by-the-hour talk. He’s just adding to the mess. I’m not saying we want happy talk but why can’t he be positive and say “America’s best days are still ahead… Americans constantly bounce back from adversity… that’s the American way.” Also, lay off this corporate bashing. It wouldn’t hurt if there were at least ONE corporate executive—my gosh, I’ll accept a bar tender or a grocery store manager—who should be at the table Administration table who actually knows how business works. One of the problems with this Administration is there are too many former members of Congress in it and Congresses do two things best: Nothing and Overreact.

More importantly, Mr. Obama went on to say that "Our nation will sink into a crisis that at some point we may be unable to reverse."   This is not leadership, it is blatant fear mongering! He went there specifically to grand stand in an area of the country which is truly hurting from past Democratic legislation affecting the recreational vehicle industry. He should have stayed in DC, rolled up his sleeves, a la recent Oval Office pictures, and at least made the appearance of trying to be the bipartisan he requests of everyone else.
Tonight he will go on TV at 8:00 for the debut of the soon to be regular "Barack Obama Hour" , a comedy or "Errors" no doubt. Someone needs to tell Mr. Obama that the campaign is over, (he's only been off the campaign trail for 4 months now, out of 30 months) and remind him he's already The President of the United States, and now he actually has to work or better yet, how about some Leadership.

In another power grab by this administration, under pressure from minority groups that they're beholden to, they've decided to have the director of the Census Bureau report directly to the White House. The dangers of potential manipulation for political gains is obvious. This is just another reason why the "Spendulus" bill needs to be defeated.

Looks like a few RINO's in the Senate have joined forces with the Democrats to try and ram the "Spendulus" bill down our throats. They call it a; "compromise bill", we call it; " A Pig with a Haircut". Not much hair on a pig to begin with! Note to the Socialists in the Congress and the White House: The American people are not normally as easily fooled as they were during this past election. Back-off your strong armed tactics and scare mongering before you do irreparable damage to our economy. Off course this doesn't fit your socialist agenda, we were just hoping for a "change" that you would put your country first.

Senate Republicans should follow the House lead and vote against the "Stimulus-a-mongus-spend-our-grandchildrens-money-democrat-protection-because-we-care-for-everyone-and-love-change" bill. Economic stability and growth comes from the private sector through the ingenuity and freedom of the American people. Government intervention and scare tactics serve only to prolong the recovery. A major part of the publics spending comes from confidence in their future and that of our economy. Mr. President STOP trashing OUR economy!!!

Our fearless and hopeful president keeps pumping fear into the economy. Hoping to blackmail the public into supporting his socialist power grab. At a time when optimistic leadership is needed, he continues to scare the dickens out of the public. His accomplices in the congress and media should be ashamed of themselves. Of course they won't be, this fits right into their plans. "Take advantage of the economic problems to advance their socialist agenda."
We've had many recessions before and will have them in the future. Our capitalist economy is the envy of the world and will self correct if the government gets out of the way. The more they interfere, the worse the outcome will be, and the longer recovery will take, if we ever recover from their meddling!
