Well Come On All of You Big Strong Men.....

Absolutely unbelievable. Obama has started yet another war in the Middle East. I thought these were the smart people. You know, the ones that would not have started the first two. I mean, at least with Iraq you had a country that was violating, daily, the terms of the war treaty after Kuwait and Afghanistan was the training grounds for 911. But Libya? What in the world are we doing firing million dollar missiles at that country for? There are no lessons learned at all from Iraq?

And it can't be the oil. This President has done everything imaginable to slow down oil in the US.



Obama's own words from 2002:

"Now let me be clear – I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity.

He’s a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him.

But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history."

What?

A lot of people were against Obama being elected because they believed he has no moral compass at all. At least it's safe to say, we do not have enough information on his background to draw conclusions as to his morality and ideology. And apparently, you cannot even refer to his spoken words for clues!

If you are one of the people that voted for this joker you have to be stunned. I mean I'm stunned and I think this guy can do no right. But an attack on Libya is beyond comprehension.

The only explanation I have is this:

Obama is certainly Eurocentric. His vision for America is to remake us in the image of Socialist Europe. You cannot deny this. And the Europeans are, for some crazy reason, in favor of this debacle. So Obama is going down the road with his European coalition to rid the world of a ruthless dictator. I haven't seen anyone involved even try to guess as to how this will end.

Absolutely amazing.

Obama Outsources His Job

In the latest "what are these idiots in DC doing" moment, the President has announced he is in favor of hiring a team of people to make the tough decisions (though they will only end up being recommendations) concerning the huge financial mess that the government has made. Read about it here in the NY Times, which is about as soft peddle of this as can be done.

The Reader's Digest version of this story goes like this. The President wants to raise the US debt ceiling by 1.92 trillion dollars (yes thats $1,920,000,000,000) and he desires some political cover. He thinks that announcing a commission will make the people happy for 9 months and continue to vote for the same Hope and Change. Remember back when there was a Tea Party rally in DC and the President said he really wasn't paying attention?

This commission will, of course, only increase the cost of government as we know right now they will accomplish nothing and their salaries and staff salaries must be paid making the problem worse.

Obama has announced a "New Era of Responsibility". I guess this means call for a doubling of the national debt in five years and then form a commission to attempt to rig the 2010 fall elections for cover.

Hope and Change? Change you Can Believe In? Fired Up, Ready to Go?

"Historic" Health Care Vote...WOW!!...Hurrah!!!

It's Official. And it's officially historic.

Yes, history is being made while you wait. With only 60 Senators in their Caucus the Democrats have been able to win a vote in the United States Senate. And oh boy, it is helping to "move the debate" on Health Care. How do they do it you ask? This surely is pulling a rabbit out of their...hat. You have to marvel at the strong leadership we see from great leaders like...Harry Reid. He's making history after all. And surely, there were no shennanigans getting all 60 Democrats to vote this way. These guys and gals hold America and our Constitution is such high esteem. Honestly, I get a tear in my eye each time I see Harry Reid heading into the Senate.

And the History being made. My gosh! Yet another entitlement in the making, in the land of the free (loaders) and the home of the brave (government).

Higher taxes, reduced freedom, greater government dependency, and greater deficits. How do they do it? It's historic! Makes you proud to be an American, huh?

Setting out with a goal of reducing health care costs they now have a plan. They are not quite meeting the goal of reducing Health Care costs but hey, it's only your money. Not theirs. After all, they are, and will remain so, exempt from any changes in their health care coverage and costs. It's historic!!! Normally, you know, they suffer right along with the rest of us when they create a historic mess with legislation.

And the greatest part of all. They claim it will reduce the deficit. I love that part. Our government is soooooo good at reducing the deficit that here they are, doing it yet again!!! They really have the people in the mind. And of course, it's historic!

On the plus side, yet another reason not to go to work. Let's see, your taxes go up, health care costs go up.... if you go to work. Why do it? History in the making you say? Read the headlines. Everywhere proclaiming this to be historic. It must be true. The media is saying it. You know, the public watchdog.

I just love history. Remember the last presidential campaign and how historic it was. This history making is really working out. That popular well thought out stimulus plan. Terrorist now heading to New York City. Terrorists released in the Bahamas. Buying car companies and then paying people to buy cars. More hate crime legislation. 200 tonnes of American gold to India, and not a penny for America. Apologies for our abuse of other countries everywhere. And now on a course to better Health Care. Who would have thought you could cram this much history is so little....time.

Thank god for historic moments like these. All brought to you by your Constitutionally Conscious, Masters of the Will of the People, Freedom Loving, Budget Responsible, members of the United States Senate, taking yet another historic vote.

Democrat Congressman Gets Off Easy

A low key story in the news this week is the sentencing of one of the major criminals straight from the halls from Congress. Not much publicity and actually a pretty light sentence. Read the details from WSJ:

Jefferson Sentenced to 13 Years

By DIONNE SEARCEY

Former Louisiana congressman William Jefferson was sentenced Friday to 13 years in prison following his conviction in a corruption case that featured a freezer full of suspected bribe money stuffed into boxes of veggie burgers.

A federal judge in Alexandria, Va., handed down the sentence to Mr. Jefferson, a 62-year-old Democrat ousted by voters last year. He had been convicted by a jury of bribery, money laundering and racketeering in schemes that prosecutors said he devised to enrich himself and his family.

Prosecutors asked for a sentence of at least 27 years, which likely would have amounted to a life term and one that defense attorneys called unprecedented.

Mr. Jefferson's defense attorneys, who had hoped their client's sentence would be less than 10 years, have said they will appeal his conviction. In seeking leniency, they pointed out that Mr. Jefferson ascended from humble beginnings to "the nation's finest educational institutions and its highest corridors of power."

Neil H. MacBride, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, suggested a stiff penalty was in order. "Mr. Jefferson's repeated attempts to sell his office caused significant damage to the public's trust in our elected leaders," he said. "This sentence will begin to repair that damage and to restore that trust."

Mr. Jefferson's seven-week trial included video and audio tapes of him meeting with a federal informant at Washington, D.C., restaurants. Prosecutors said he used his congressional status to concoct plans that would help pay college tuition for his daughters. Mr. Jefferson served on a trade subcommittee and is alleged to have shaken down businessmen who came to his office seeking help with African deals.

The most notorious episode in the saga involved $100,000 in cash that prosecutors said Mr. Jefferson intended to use to bribe the vice president of Nigeria in Washington. He had hoped the money would help pave the way for a telecommunications deal that would have been lucrative for the congressman's family, prosecutors said.

Most of that money was found wrapped in foil in Mr. Jefferson's freezer in a 2005 raid of his Washington home by the Federal Bureau of investigation. Prosecutors said the Nigerian vice president left town before Mr. Jefferson could deliver the payment to him.

Defense attorneys portrayed Mr. Jefferson as possibly unethical but not a criminal, and said he was a victim of an over-aggressive prosecution aimed at "bagging a congressman." They said Mr. Jefferson was entrapped by investigators who wired the informant to try to nab him.

Democrats Ready to Steal Yet Another Senate Seat

After openly stealing Senate seats in Illinois (Burris), Pennsylvania (Specter), and Minnesota (Franken), the Democratic party has changed laws to steal yet another Senate Seat.

Kind of makes you proud to live in a Democracy , eh? The people's voice is being heard. It's really hard to understand people that are upset at Townhall meetings, right?

From Boston.com:

Signs point to Kirk for interim senator
By Matt Viser and Frank Phillips, Globe Staff September 24, 2009

Governor Deval Patrick huddled with a small group of trusted advisers last night to finalize his choice for an interim US senator, with indications pointing to former Democratic National Committee chairman Paul G. Kirk Jr., who has the strong backing of the immediate family of the late Edward M. Kennedy, as the overwhelming favorite.

A person with knowledge of the process said last night that former governor Michael S. Dukakis, considered a leading candidate for the appointment, was unlikely to be chosen. At the same time, senior Democrats in Washington told The New York Times that they were certain Kirk would be the choice...........

Robert M. Gates....Closet Comedian

Kim Jong-il must be getting a pretty good laugh. With Obama having warmed up the crowd with his new, friendlier, America approach, the comedy styling of our Defense Secretary is rolling on to the stage.

May 3oth, 2009, Robert Gates, US Secretary of Defense speaking on North Korea's nuclear and missile testing:

“We will not stand idly by as North Korea builds the capability to wreak destruction on any target in Asia — or on us,” Gates said.

Yee Haw. At first I thought he was getting ready for a Leno or Saturday Night Live appearance.

I have just a few questions for the honorable Mr. Gates:

Do you know what planet you are on?

Do you realize who you work for?

Do you know your boss is moving rapidly to kill missile defense?

Have you given any thought at all as to why North Korea is making such a dramatic "in your face" move at this time?

Do you really believe, like your boss, that simply talking will solve this problem?

Do you really believe, like your boss, that the U.N. has a good chance of solving this problem?

Do you know what "not stand idly by" means because you really are going to do the opposite of that.

Is it fact that you and your boss really have not figured out the failure of the "sanctions" route?

And please, oh please, when you talk to our European allies about getting tough with North Korea, will you kindly post the meeting minutes on the web.

I need a good laugh too.

Obama...Head up his.....

Wow. Absolutely incredible. The North Koreans have launched their missile in spite the great orator telling them to not do so.

But look at just the last few days leading up to this event and Obama's response which obviously bears no grip in reality in any way whatsoever.

In the few days prior to the launching of this rocket Obama was in Europe with a grand(standing) meeting with 20 world leaders. He went there with big plans to get them to spend stimulus money. They refused.

He made a strong case for NATO to join us with a larger presence in Afghanistan. They refused.

He then gives some great speech about eliminating all nuclear weapons in the world. Yee Haw. Anyone care to guess how long the US remains the US without our nuclear threat? Oh, he's so smart.

So despite the fact that the US is entirely alone in the world when it comes to defense, Obama issues the following statement upon hearing of the missile launch:

"North Korea broke the rules once again by testing a rocket that could be used for long-range missiles," he said. "Now is the time for a strong international response."

I suppose he still believes in the tooth fairy.
