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.

VP Joe "Foot-n-Mouth" Biden says we're headed in the right direction.  The summer wreck-covery tour continues unabated.  Let's see if we have this correct: Bobo thinks job losses going up, new jobless claims going up, homes sales going down, and taxes going up are all in the right direction.  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.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps are increasing their presence in Venezuela.  Venezuela, that oil rich nation who now under Chavez's communist rule has to ration electricity, another example of the virtues of that "great" system.  Iran's terrorist guard forces are spread around the world like tentacles of an evil beast in a sci-fi movie.  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.

At The Obama's "kiss-my-muslim-brothers-A__" dinner for Ramadan last night, his true allegiance came out.  He is now on record officially backing the building of a mosque at the shadow of ground zero.  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.  We need to give these career politicians a one way ticket home.

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:

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.

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.

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...

DAY 80!  Interesting how the the president's propaganda machine can take our minds off the worst ecological disaster in our history.  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!!!

The TSA was going to restrict web sites associated with "gaming", "chat" as well as "controversial opinions".  Who decides what's a "controversial opinion"?  Is any language critical of the government or government policy a "controversial opinion".  This is a slippery slope towards censorship and totalitarianism.  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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

  5-13-2010
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.

  5-12-2010
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.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps are increasing their presence in Venezuela.  Venezuela, that oil rich nation who now under Chavez's communist rule has to ration electricity, another example of the virtues of that "great" system.  Iran's terrorist guard forces are spread around the world like tentacles of an evil beast in a sci-fi movie.  They're directly involved in Iraq and Afghanistan causing untold deaths to both our soldiers and the Muslims they pretend to stand for.  While this growing threat multiplies and breeds our elected officials are busy fanning the flames of their latest crisis creation, financial reform.  They turn their backs on Israel, let our enemy strengthen and continue their assault on American institutions.  They're steering us towards a disaster but perhaps that's the ultimate "crisis" their planning on?

As Rhambo says, "Never let a crisis go to waste", this administrations tactics have been very clear.  Take advantage of a crisis, or perceived crisis, then push your radical socialist agenda.  If a crisis doesn't exist, create one, blow it out of proportion, demonize the intended target, get your puppet MSM to go along then take over through regulations and mandates.  The financial industry is now clearly in the crosshairs.  Run for the hills, The Obama steamroller is headed your way.

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.

A 47 nation party or is that Summit took place in Washington the last two days ignoring the 500 pound Gorilla in the room.  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?

Turncoat Stupak will announce today that he will not seek re-election to the House.  He is "retiring".  A better word is "quitting".  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.  Maybe an ambassadorship is in store for him.  With all the sleazy backroom deals made during the ObamaCare fiasco it wouldn't be out of the question.

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?

The Obama acknowledged the Tea Partiers while at the same time putting them down as a "fringe" movement.  We suppose he would also consider the original Tea Partiers in the 1700's a "fringe" movement.  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.

On May 28, 2009 The Obama hosted Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas at the White House.  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.

Algore has finally been heard from.  He penned an op-ed piece in the New York Times on Saturday the 27th titled, "We can't Wish Away Climate Change".  What happened to "Global Warming"?  It is believed that the op-ed was delivered from his igloo via carrier pigeon.  Regardless of the outright lies, obfuscations conspiracy in the global fraud he still spouts his usual nonsense.  After all, his livelihood depends on it.

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.

The White House stated Tuesday that the president will be more in "campaign" mode to fine tune his message.  He will be more aggressive and be more visible.  What this White House doesn't get is the American people do "get" the message and we don't like it.  The president has been very visible pushing his agenda and people do understand the disconnect between his statements and his actions.  The more he continues that ruse the worse his chances are of succeeding with his socialist policies.  Keep it up White House, put him out there 24/7, we can't get enough of it!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Democrat leadership in the house and senate are very busy in their "secret" negotiations buying votes they need to pass ObamaCare.  The latest is another win for the unions.  In a deal they struck with the unions yesterday, unions will be exempt from the proposed "Cadillac Tax" until 2018.  This will save the unions $60 Billion during the years involved.  Non-union workers facing the "Cadillac Tax" will have to pay $90 Billion over the same period.  Just another bride on the road to socialism, brought to you by The One and his minions... More to come...

The Obama Administration "regulatory" CZAR, Cass Sunstein, wrote an extensive academic paper suggesting that the government should ban "conspiracy theorizing'.  He stated that one of the theories could be that global warming was an deliberate fraud.  The government could send agents to infiltrate groups that disseminate conspiracy theories.  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."  First we take your money then we take your soul.  These people are control freaks and the fact that they are in power makes them dangerous.

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.

Democrat leadership in Congress continue their exclusive closed door negotiations (Washington speak for legalized bribery).  With only 32% of the American people supporting the ObamaCare disaster, they continue their high handed manipulation of the process. Dam the torpedoes, full speed ahead.  The liberal talking head minions continue their falsehoods about health care reform.  They actually believe that people are so stupid that they will fall for their lies that ObamaCare will: Insure more people while improving care and at a lower cost.  We believe the stupidity in this case lies in their actions and assumptions.

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.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United  States, George W. Bush:
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 Obama and his traveling circus, coming soon to a town near you.  He says, "The buck stops with me" but keeps blaming everyone else.  Coming up to his one year anniversary at the helm and it's still Bush's fault.  The disastrous "Spendulus" bill, the 1.8 trillion dollar budget and now ObamaCare fears have stymied the economy and prolonged the recession.  This is his recession now, he owns it.  His policies have and will continue to make things worse.  The most dangerous part of all is that he is intentionally bankrupting the country in order to bring about his socialist "change".  The American people are catching on as Democrats are starting to jump off the sinking ship.

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.

The Obama called the Christmas Day attempted downing of flight 253 a "Screw Up".  Indicating that the intelligence community failed us.  This is the same intelligence community that has been hounded by the president and his Justice Department.  They go after our own people for trying to gather information, through interrogations, to avert the very acts that The Obama called a "Screw Up".  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.  Since day one he and his administration has been pointing their fingers at everyone but themselves. They create the atmosphere for failure then blame it on someone else.  The ineptitude and recklessness of this administration knows no bounds.

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

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!

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 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.

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”.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Like a rerun of the Titanic, the Senate continues it's steady drift towards the ObamaCare iceberg.  With 'man-made-global-distractions' all around, the clicking of deals echo through Senate chambers in the still of the night.  Although there's no mention of the "right" to health care in the Constitution, the hijacking of it for political purposes continues on it's deadly path.  Only time an honor stand between us and disaster.  We bet on honor but time is not on our side.

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. The CRU's data was the basis for the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2007 report.  Environmental wackos use this report and their data to "prove" their global warming lunacy.  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 is still on this snake-oil band wagon and plans to go to Copenhagen next month for the "global warming summit".  Perhaps he'll bow at the algore alter and kiss his ring!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The Obama sold out our Eastern European allies, Czechoslovakia and Poland.  By not following through on a previously agreed missile defense system, this administration has rewarded Russia with what history will show to be a geopolitical strategic blunder.  Right away GE will benefit from deals with Russia.  GE owns The Obama propaganda machines of NBC and MSNBC.  Is there a Quid pro quo here?  This kind of "change" we can definitely do without!

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.  Where is the MSM on this these stories?  They are so invested in The Obama they ignore the communist and other radical Czars he has surrounded himself with and takes advice from.

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.

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.

Bradley A. Blakeman, Former Deputy Assistant to the President of the United  States, George W. Bush:
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 Obama mystique is wearing thin.  You can't apologize for the United States at every opportunity, take over private businesses and banks, and attempt to socialize our health care without people catching on to the madness.  Every day more and more Americans are realizing the mistake that was made last November.  We need to hang on, stop any further erosion of our liberties and government takeovers.  Together we can save our constitution and take our country back from the brink of destruction by the out of control socialist in charge today.

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

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.  The reason for this slight of hand is to mislead and fool people into letting their guard down.  Let's not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!  ObamaCare needs to be buried, just like the libs would do with our seasoned citizens.

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?

The ObamaCare-Fantasy-Tour continues with the liar-in-chief at the helm. Take away the teleprompter and you have foot in mouth disease.  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?

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

A lonely flame of Liberty is being smothered in Central America.  The democratic country of Honduras is struggling to maintain their democracy and constitution against overwhelming odds.  They are being pounded by communists like Chavez, Ortega and communist-in-training Obama.  The formerly strongest defender of Liberty and Freedom in the world, the United States, should be standing firmly on the side of the Honduran government in their fight against tyranny.  Instead we are siding with the geopolitical onslaught of the socialist machine.

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!

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

The Obama administration and their socialist friends consider old ladies, scared citizens and veterans in wheel chairs to be "MOBS".  This coming from the same Saul Alinsky disciples that use strong arm tactics to coerce banks and private businesses.  Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" is The Obama's playbook.  The problem for these socialists is they can't handle what they dish out.  They collect a blacklist of the opposition, intimidate the opposition,  silence the opposition.  These are tactics tyrants use!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Obama gave The Pope an "audience" today.  If was nice of The Obama to take time out of his busy day to meet him.  What would we give to be a fly on the wall during that meeting, take that back, Obama kills flies.  What do you think the Pope feels about The Obama's financial support for worldwide abortion? 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.  It seems liberal and socialist never learn from history, they just look forward to repeating the same idiocy because it makes them feel good!

Mini-Bama (Biden) says, "We under estimated the economy", The Obama says, "We didn't have all the information", we say, "Hold on to your wallets!"  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.

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

Here comes the CZAR?  The Obama is sidestepping the constitution by appointing unconfirmed "emperors" that control executive functions and answer only to the president.  It's an extension of presidential powers beyond anything that we've had in the past and beyond what is called for in our constitution.  The latest rumblings is a "health" czar.  We need a health czar like we need a hole in the head!  We're already up to 30 czars that have no accountability and no oversight.  The Russians could learn something from The Obama...

Headline: The Obama "trusts" Medvedev.  They agreed on cutting nuclear stockpiles by 30%.  They will continue "talking" about pulling the rug out from under our Eastern European allies.  The Russian's are threatened by "defensive" missiles in Eastern Europe.  These are defensive missiles that were agreed upon between the United States and our allies.  Mr. Obama, don't sell out our allies like you're selling out our Democratic friends in Honduras!

On this great July 4th Independence Day Holiday, in between your celebration with family and friends, take some time to honor.  Honor those who sacrificed all they had for our independence.  They were men of means, set in life and comfortable with their success.  But they lacked one thing, Liberty.  They gave it all, for the that Liberty.  Along with those who have sacrificed through the years to maintain our freedom and liberty, we salute and honor them all.  No apologies, just honor!
