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.

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.

Obama the Labor Expert

Obama signed Executive Orders this week that undo Bush policies concerning Unions. I guess the point is that we should use General Motors as the pattern in shaping labor and business in the United States. The new rules will make it even more difficult for the ever expanding federal government to control the labor practices in federal contracts.

Appearing alongside Joe Biden, a guy who seemingly and rightfully, cannot believe that he has ascended to such heights in his career, Obama signed 3 Executive Orders. In the new changed bipartisan spirit he bashed Bush several times during the signing.

He spoke of “shameful” bonuses for Wall Street bankers but neglected to mention his White House dinner earlier in the week where they (our rulers) served steak that cost the American taxpayer $300 a pound. Imported too! Hurrah for Change!

Certainly it is apparent that this group of elitists are so removed from reality that they cannot make any move that will benefit America. To prove this, they also took the opportunity to remind us of the Pelosi/Obama stimulus package. You know the one that stimulates a march towards a Marxist government? New cars for government workers! Hurray! Condoms for all! New grass on the mall! Change!!

At the same "Turn America into General Motors" gathering, Joe Biden discussed his new role as Middle Class Nanny Czar. According to Joe The Vice President one of the focuses will be "green jobs, those jobs that pay well". Does that mean we all get to own wealthy carbon trading companies like Al Gore?

Obama keeps talking the economy down (you know that thing that Bush was criticized for) but yet every action he takes is towards more destruction of the economy. Of course this was mostly about paying back the people that sent him all that money during the campaign.

Change. Can we survive it?

Week One...Pretty Darn Productive!

I have to admit, this man is way more productive then George Bush ever thought of being. After the largest carbon footprint inauguration in history he started to govern.

Week one he has dismantled the intelligence apparatus necessary to keep America safe in our fight against Muslim extremism.

I guess we gained the respect of terrorists, liberals, and people that live in countries unable to protect themselves.

And, introduced a legislative package, disguised as a financial stimulus plan, that will fund every loony, liberal, socialist, boondoggle idea every dreamed of.

Hey it's probably only going to be a trillion dollars. That's $1,000,000,000,000,000. Gives you the right frame of mind headed into the tax season, right?

And, insured that America will once again fund the abortions of babies overseas.

Thank goodness we have suspended the atrocious practice of splashing water in the face of terrorists and are now returning to things that matter. Like supporting infant killing.

All the while, continuing to drive your 401K and investments into dust. (The forward looking stock market dive bombed).

On the bright side, gold went up $60.00 and ounce and silver went up $0.81 and ounce. Wait a minute, is that a good thing?

I can hardly wait until next week.

The "Brains" of the New Administration

We have been hearing so much gushing from the media elites about the "brains" of the new Obama administration. I guess its part of the anti-Bush dummies campaign being waged for the last 8 years.

The picture at the left was taken at the Inauguration platform and is of the new White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. This is one of the main guys that will be running the government now.

Makes you proud to be an American, huh? Thank goodness we've got the brainy elites running the show now, huh?

Team Obama Hiring Attorneys

The media and the blog world have proclaimed Obama's innocence in the Blagojevich/Chicago corruption scandal. The essence of the story is that Obama's lawyer claims Obama and his staff did nothing wrong. What a shocker, eh? Maybe Blagojevich should just put out an email memo from his attorney saying he did nothing wrong?

Read the report/memo/email here. It is sort of hard to find and you may be disappointed about the information presented. It certainly sounds like it was written by a lawyer as it quite brief. He justifiably seems to be careful not to incriminate Obama and his cronies.

Meanwhile Obama and his future (?) White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel are out of the country and refusing to answer questions. Remember the promise of an open and transparent administration? If you believed that to begin with, have I got a Senate seat in Illinois to sell you.

And, Obama's top aide (Rahm) is busy hiring the best legal advice money can buy because of his entanglement in this corruption. You would think these guys would look to New York for guidance in this mess and give the darn Senate seat to an unqualified Democrat with the proper name.

There is a lot of talk about cleaning up the corruption in the Chicago rat's nest. I guess if all the rat's move to DC that might help Chicago?

The Wheel Coming Off the Liberal Cart

I was reading the news and blogs on the internet this morning. There are a lot of Union members griping because yesterday the car bailout failed to pass in the Democrat controlled Senate. The reason it failed? You got it, Republican Senators. You know the minority party in the US Congress.

From the Wall Street Journal:

Led by Tennessee Senator Bob Corker, they asked the auto workers to show they were serious about making Detroit competitive again. In exchange for a lifeline from Washington, Mr. Corker wanted the union to set a "date certain" in 2009 for lowering the Detroit Three's hourly labor costs to the average of foreign-owned auto makers in the U.S. He also wanted creditors to bring down Detroit's total debt by two-thirds through an equity swap, making sure debtholders share the cost of restructuring.

The union's counteroffer was that it would bring down labor costs in 2011, when its current contracts run out. Maybe we missed something, but we thought GM and Chrysler were facing bankruptcy now, not in three years. As Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor, that sounds like "taxpayer money today for reforms that may or may not come tomorrow."

You see, even though the car unions steal millions from their members all year long to campaign against conservative, American principles at each election, the Republicans in the Senate are supposed to prop them up when their share of the business model fails. As of course it must, too.

Yeah, sounds right to me. And of course if you read the stories carefully you will understand that the UAW was unwilling to make any concessions whatsoever to help save their own jobs. If you have been around or in a union environment you know how that works. When they are done talking you would think it was management's idea to have 15,000 people every day (Jobs Bank) doing nothing and making between $100,000 to $140,000 a year.

On other liberal fronts you may notice this one little item in the news. Government at every level is bankrupt. Perhaps this is because we have been too strict in following the Constitution, eh?

If you follow the states that are the most liberal, like California or New York, you will see they are in the worst of trouble. It's not small either too. The amount of money needed to bailout California alone makes the auto bailout look like pocket change. At the end of February they are done. All for the sake of liberal public policies.

Every year since the 1930's our government has played a larger role in our lives. Our freedoms and Constitution have been destroyed in order to have the government running things. The principles behind these "liberal" (The biggest joke is liberals now call themselves Progressives) directions have ruined business, removed our freedoms, and made our future unsafe and uncertain.

True to form, everywhere its been tried, a lot of people are going to suffer in the name of liberalism. And now the wheel is coming off of the liberal cart here in America.

A Kennedy Wants a Senate Seat

Caroline Kennedy is rumored (as reported by all the major media sources) to have an interest in being a United States Senator. The tale is that she would be appointed to the seat vacated by the future Secretary of State, Hillary. Of course the current situation is perfect for her as it would seem a bit much that she would actually campaign and win the seat. After all, she is a Kennedy. And if a Kennedy wants to be a United States Senator then let nothing stand in the way. It is also reported that Robert F. Kennedy Jr is not interested in playing a Senator.

The media of course is all a twitter. You can just imagine the sensations running up and down Chris Matthew's legs.

Of course, unlike a governor running for the Vice President's office, there will be no discussion of qualifications. After all, she is a Kennedy. She will not be quizzed on the capitals of various countries or asked about newspapers that she reads. The dynasty must continue. We are just lucky she has chosen to grace our lives with her inherited abilities to rule the common folk. I suppose if she needs guidance she can always turn to Ted.

And certainly Teddy has been a mouth piece for American justice during his tenure in public life. One cannot be more mesmerized by the infamous Ted Kennedy quote:

"Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law? Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty?"

Certainly that statement has no relevance here as a Kennedy acquires a US Senate seat without an election.

I did notice a blog reporting on the dismal fact that since she cannot be anointed until Hillary resigns, and Hillary is not resigning until the appointment. So she will probably end up being the 100th Senator on the seniority list. Certainly we can hope and pray that there is still some justice in the world and this can be remedied. Perhaps by simply bending the rules. Maybe Papal decree would be in order here. Or go up the ladder one notch to Harry Reid.

Ah, change. What a wonderful thing it is.

The Obama Change

I have to tell you. I don't get it. Certainly this was an election without a choice I could feel really good about, but, voting for Obama is beyond belief. I just do not get it. The clues are everywhere screaming, "Run hard, run fast!!".

Obama's past associations with loads of radical people. The missing gaps in his past history. The media's failure to probe and ask tough question. Heck, the media's cheer leading. The promise of higher taxes. The promise to not drill for oil in America. The Democrat's Party connection to the failure of Freddie and Fannie. Someone please explain why we are not allowed to read his college thesis!! The support of ACORN and their attempt to fix the election. The list goes on and on.

Two events really strike me though and are a certainly a predictor of coming events.

In his first press conference he slams Nancy Reagan. You have to be kidding me. Is Nancy Reagan some kind of threat to him? No. Is he comfortable making partisan attacks? I would say that is a rather obvious yes. In this instance he even invents some wild story about Nancy and seances to fit his slam. Of course he's been getting away with these inventions through the entire election cycle and he got away with this one too. No doubt though, partisan attacks against a former first lady, during a press conferences, truly represents change.

The second event is really troubling. Maybe I'm just sensitive because I live in Ohio, and I am against terrorists. I am speaking of the Democratic Party in Ohio going through the records of Joe Wurzelbacher (Joe the Plumber).

In support of the Obama campaign they participated in the smear by going through all of his state records to try and dig up dirt on Joe. What did Joe do? He wanted to know why working hard is going to be a penalty in the Obama administration and, he had the audacity of hope to put the question directly to Obama.

As if this breach of privacy isn't enough to make you truly angry, you need a little more context. Anyone remember the last 6 years and the outrage over Bush wire tapping the phones of terrorists? Osama has privacy rights, right?

Now we know. Wiretapping the phones of terrorists is bad. Combing the private records of a citizen challenging a presidential candidate is perfectly acceptable.

Fasten your seatbelts folks. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Democrats...Intent on Stealing Ohio Election

Certainly we are seeing an attempt by Democratic groups to steal the election in many of the battleground states across the country. It appears they are having quite a bit of success.

You have undoubtedly heard of the illegal activities of a group called ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) that is conducting fraudulent voter registration, for the purpose of ultimately illegal voting, in many states. This is just one of the groups that is trying to steal the election and they have been quite prominent in Ohio. The group ACORN actually has quite a lengthy record of voter fraud in Ohio. As an added note, the Obama campaign has paid them (ACORN) for these activities. Of further interest, this is an organization of which Obama used to work for.

Another aspect to this story though is the coordination of this attempt to steal the vote by ACORN and other groups with the Democratic Party in charge of the election in Ohio. Specifically Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner who on Thursday (10/9) has yet another court ruling against her activities in running the election in this state.

From the Ohio Republican Party's web site:

Secretary of State appeals ruling, fights effort to validate registrations

(Columbus) - A federal court ruled tonight that Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner violated federal election laws by not taking adequate steps to validate the identity of newly registered voters.

The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge George C. Smith called the identification breakdown "a serious problem" and ordered Brunner to immediately comply with federal requirements to match voter registration data with the information in the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and Social Security Administration databases. The court accused Brunner of failing to provide county election administrators with "an effective way to access and review mismatches." She immediately appealed the ruling.

"For some reason, Jennifer Brunner does not want these new registrations checked," said Ohio Republican Party Deputy Chairman Kevin DeWine. "Her refusal to comply with federal law raises serious concerns about her ability to objectively oversee this election. It's especially troubling in light of her connection to ACORN and that group's stunning confession this week of fraudulent registration activity happening right here in Ohio."

Brunner's effort to fight the court order comes just two days after the Democrat activist group ACORN admitted to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections that the group engages in fraudulent voter registration activity.

Ohio ACORN officials "blamed the elections board for not scrutinizing ACORN's suspicious cards," claiming the group "can't be expected to catch everything."

ACORN is facing similar inquires in other Ohio counties as well as 10 other states. Members of the group's "voter-mobilization arm," Project Vote, regularly advise Brunner on election strategy, even recently issuing a news release that claims credit for Brunner's directive restricting challenges to suspected fraudulent voter registrations. Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama also has strong ties to ACORN, working previously as an attorney and "leadership trainer" for the group.

Unfortunately, the media is in the tank for Obama, and the Democrat Party, and has done very little reporting of this story to aid in the concept of an honest election.

Michelle Malkin has done quite a bit of blogging on this topic and I have seen her a few times on TV.

It appears that the results of this election are already in serious doubt in Ohio and probably many other states.
