The Repubs Aren't Getting It Done

Via boortz.com:

Sorry, but thus far the new Republican-controlled House of Representatives has been anything but promising and stimulating. Okay, so they voted to repeal Obama care. Actually, that was an easy vote. They know it was going nowhere in the Senate, and it is said that happened the past that they knew that The Community Organizer would veto it, so let's just use the word "symbolic" and move on here. Then we have their attempt at cutting the budget. They announce a figure in the neighborhood of $75 billion. Then some reporters, including our own. Jamie Dupree, point out that the Republicans are using the old baseline budgeting trick. That is, they're announcing the budget cut not from present spending levels but from projected increased spending levels in future years. Now that's partially budget cut and partially reductions in future spending increases. This is not the sort of gamesmanship that the tea party voters signed up for last November. The real figure for Republican budget cut proposals? That would be somewhere in the $35 billion range; about one half of what they were trying to pass off to the voters as their grandiose attempt at cutting the federal budget.

The truth here is that we have Republicans that are looking harder at their reelection chances -- harder at protecting their privileges, their perks, and their power -- then they are at doing the job the voters sent them to Washington to do last November.

You will find the rest of Neal's take on things at this link.

While I, too, am disappointed, I cannot say I am surprised. After all, these are still politicians, and they all seem to have only one goal, and that is to win reelection, no matter what letter follows their name.

Neal gives the republicans a C+, but I'm giving then a D- so far. While I'm not yet ready to declare last November's election a bust, I'm getting awfully close.

Let's hope the TEA Party supporters who were so instrumental in flipping the House last November will keep the pressure on those they sent to Washington, as this country is fast running out of time, as well as excuses.

25 Reasons to Boot the Bamster

Personally, I say it will never happen, as the impeachment process itself would probably take far longer than the time remaining in the Kenyan statist's first (and hopefully only) term.

Another reason is that the repubs simply don't have the balls, and are unlikely to grow any anytime soon, even if they were to put enough fannies in congress this November to actually be able to do it.

I can think of a whole host of reasons why Barack Hussein Obama should be driven from power, as he has been steadily defecating on our nation's founding document since 12:01 pm, January 20, 2009.

Whether he one day winds up back in Chicago stapling 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper to utility poles (perhaps the only thing he is any good at), or gets whisked off to some private island somewhere to spend the balance of his remaining days picking the lint out of George Soros' belly button, that day will be a good day for America - however much is left of it.

That day cannot come soon enough for me.

A Glimmer of Hope? 14 Term Commiecrat Ousted

Via MyWay.com:

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - A West Virginia congressional seat that's been held by a Democrat for generations is now up for grabs after 14-term incumbent Rep. Alan Mollohan was swept out of office on a wave of voter unrest that an opponent called a referendum on President Barack Obama.

The congressman is the first U.S. House incumbent to be ousted this spring primary season amid widespread anti-incumbent sentiment. The same unrest helped end the 17-year career of Utah Republican Sen. Bob Bennett, who lost a GOP convention on Saturday.

State Sen. Michael Oliverio carried 56 percent of the vote to Mollohan's 44 percent Tuesday night after an aggressive campaign that questioned the incumbent's ethics and support for issues including federal health care reform.

You can read the entire article at this link.

I still remain somewhat skeptical that the "oust the incumbent" thingy is still going to play out come this November, but things like this do afford me at least some glimmer of hope, which is at least somewhat better than the despair I have been feeling for my country for the last 16 months or so.

Of course. ousting the incumbents who voted for TARP, Porkulus and CommieCare won't be worth a damn if those who replace them are unwilling to make the difficult choices we all know are necessary if we are to avoid going the way of Greece.

Tea Party Crashers

(See update at bottom)

Well, you just knew it had to happen. A bunch of stinking, freedom-hating, communist supporters of the Comrade Chairman have put up a website dedicated to the 'destruction' of the Tea Party movement.

Apparently, their plan is to infiltrate Tea Party events and do anything they can to try and make those attending look bad in the eyes of the American people.

What is truly funny is these Obama boot-licking commie goobers claim to have the support of a lot of republicans and independents.

Right.

Just how many repubs and independents do you know who support Obama's turning this nation toward communism?

Yeah, me, neither.

Here is a direct link to their comments page. Have fun.

As one who is involved heavily in the Tea Party movement, I can tell you first hand these "crashers" do not know what they are talking about. I have met a large number of Tea Party goers and supporters, and they are about as middle of the road as you can possibly get - a very good cross-section of our society, who have become alarmed at the crushing debt we are now saddling on future generations, our seemingly out-of-control federal government, and the economy and job-killing taxes on the horizon.

I have yet to meet even one that matches, or even comes close to matching, what these "crashers" are trying to portray us as.

I know many of you will be attending Tea Party and other similar events on or around April 15th.

Keep you eyes peeled for these communist saboteurs.


Update: Michelle Malkin has much more on who these commies are, as well as some advice on how to deal with them.

Perfesser Barry Soetoro

My friend Eowyn over at Fellowship of the Minds dropped this little gem of a post on her blog today, and I thought I would share it with you:

This is MAJOR news.

One of the accomplishments much trumpeted by Obamabots is that their man, the Punk, after he graduated from Harvard Law School was a “professor” at Chicago University Law School. Finally, a leading faculty member at Chicago Law has come forth with the truth on Obama’s teaching, including:

• How Obama got a job teaching law: It was a political favor. The law school actually had turned down his application to teach there.
• What his academic title was: Obama was a “lecturer,” never a “professor,” not even an “adjunct” professor. The distinctions between/among these academic titles are important. A lecturer is someone who is hired on a year-by-year basis, without going through rigorous screening or possessing sterling academic credentials.
• How other faculty members regarded him: They thought him lazy and unqualified.
• What he taught at the law school: Although he was hired to teach Constitutional Law, Obama instead taught Machiavellian power politics à la Saul Alinsky, the Marxist ideologue who dedicated his book on community organizing, Rules for Radicals, to the fallen evil angel Lucifer.

I hope this revelation of Obama’s Chicago Law School “teaching” will be the first of more truth-tellings by those who had known the Punk.

You will find the rest at this link.

I think we are beginning to get a much clearer picture of who, not to mention what, Barack Hussein Obama actually is.

We are also gaining a much better understanding of why this supposedly highly-educated, "eloquent" man requires the aid of a teleprompter to string even two coherent sentences together.

We are also beginning to see why he has shelled out nearly $2 million to keep large parts of his past hidden from public scrutiny.

Of course, this was all out there in plain sight for people to see way back when this mysterious protege of the America-hating George Soros first announced his candidacy for POTUS. It's just too bad that 65 million of our fellow Americans couldn't turn off American Idol and put down their stupid People Magazines long enough to take notice.

Elections, after all, have consequences, and the one that took place in November of 2008 may have reverberations that last well beyond our lifetimes.

Speaking purely for myself, I now see the elevation of Barack Hussein Obama to the presidency as surpassing Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, gun control, and government "education" as the most colossal scam ever perpetrated on the American people.

I really want to believe that America has not become too stoopid to survive as it was founded, but I am truly beginning to wonder whether or not it has.

God help us.

Man-Made 'Climate Change' Scam Finally Unraveling (Maybe)

I pegged man-made climate change as a scam pretty much from day one. I mean, the very idea that human activity could affect the climate of the Earth has always struck me as preposterous, if not a little arrogant.

What I found equally preposterous, and not a little disturbing, was the large number of people the world over who were so easily convinced by the scam artists that CO2 was somehow a pollutant. This probably reflects on the rather sorry state of science education not just here in America, but all over the planet. The appalling lack of common sense so prevalent today probably contributed to this, too.

I also began to notice something else, and that was the political leanings of those who were pushing this fraud. I very quickly picked up on a common trait that most all of them shared: They were all socialists, Marxists and communists.

Other people began noticing this, too, hence the term watermelon - green on the outside, red on the inside. Many also began noticing the rank hypocrisy of the fraudsters themselves, such as Al Gore, R.F.K. Jr., and many many others who were living in huge mansions and flying all over creation in private jets of all sizes and descriptions telling us ignorant peons to bury our cars, go live in tents, eat vegetables and wear hemp sandals.

There was something else going on, too. These frauds were using scare tactics to push a lot of legislation through congress that was decidedly hostile to freedom and liberty. They managed to get a lot of it through, too, which to date has cost the American taxpayer approximately $79 billion. They are still trying today with the hideous freedom and liberty destroying Cap & Trade (which I refer to as Crap & Tax) bill.

Even if they can't get this abomination through congress, the EPA is saying they will implement it through regulation with the blessings of Obama administration, which isn't exactly keen when it comes to defending the country's founding principles. I just bet our nations founders are overjoyed.

It now seems one of the scientists at the center off all this is now backing away from many of his earlier claims about man's affect on the planet's climate.

Via the dailymail.co.uk:

Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.

The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.

Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.

And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.

The admissions will be seized on by sceptics as fresh evidence that there are serious flaws at the heart of the science of climate change and the orthodoxy that recent rises in temperature are largely man-made.

Professor Jones has been in the spotlight since he stepped down as director of the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit after the leaking of emails that sceptics claim show scientists were manipulating data.

You can read the entire article here.

Even if this scam is finally fully exposed for the hideous fraud that it is, that won't stop the federal government from continuing to use climate change in a effort to further encroach on our God-given freedoms. I'm not real sure if it is going to hamstring the U.N. from trying to use it as a tool for yet another global wealth redistribution scheme, either, although the recent collapse at Copenhagen was encouraging.

I do, however, think we are moving closer to a time when Al Gore & Co. are going to owe us an engraved apology - along with $79 billion.

Time to End Universal Suffrage?

Tom Tancredo makes his case:

The uncivil debate over civic illiteracy

---

Posted: February 13, 2010
1:00 am Eastern

© 2010

After 35 years in politics, I am seldom surprised by the venom that flows from the mouths of liberals when one of their sacred cows is criticized. But the "fan mail" following my speech a week ago to the tea-party convention in Nashville has been truly amazing.

I spoke to the opening session of the event about why it is a good thing that John McCain was not elected president. I expected those remarks to be controversial in some quarters, but the only controversy in the news coverage of my speech was about my suggestion that we need a civics literacy test for voters.

Evidently, you cannot question the value of universal suffrage, and in the liberal lexicon, universal suffrage means not only that there should be no unreasonable or discriminatory bars to voting, but that all adults should be forced to vote, no matter how ignorant or disconnected to the civic affairs of the community.

I did not say in Nashville that all 67 million Obama voters are illiterate rabble who would fail a civics literacy test. What I did suggest and what I believe is that in the 2008 presidential election, the margin of victory for Obama was provided by people who would not be at the polls if we had meaningful civics literacy requirements for voting. Hence my statement that the lack of a civics literacy requirement is one reason we have a committed socialist ideologue in the White House today.

That statement provoked a stream of angry e-mail messages from outraged Obama voters, many of whom proudly proclaimed their advanced degrees in art history, Egyptology and political science. The message was as consistent as it was strident: What an ignoramus I must be to question the educational level of Obama voters!

My tea-party remarks had nothing to do with educational credentials or even IQ. We are all painfully aware that Barack Obama, like Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton before him, got more votes from college professors than his Republican opponent. My remarks were aimed at the electorate's lack of civics literacy, which is quite different. Literacy in civics and American history is not necessarily enhanced by additional years of higher education devoted to increasingly specialized expertise in some field.

I have often suggested that new voters should be required to pass the civics literacy test already given to immigrants who want to become naturalized citizens. Yet, my suggestion was twisted into the idea that I want to see a return to "Jim Crow laws" that were used to keep blacks from voting.

This distortion of my proposal requires two acts of self-deception. First, it requires you to believe that minorities will fail any civics test, an idea that is highly insulting to all minorities. Secondly, it requires a willful disregard of the real history of Jim Crow laws. Blacks were not kept from voting by the laws themselves but the blatant discriminatory way they were administered by local officials. It is absurd to claim that any civics literacy test will be discriminatory, yet that is how my proposal was described by leftist bloggers and liberal journalists like E.J. Dionne.

Predictably, in this age of Internet video messaging

, left-wing blogs and liberal advocacy groups sent the video clip of my remarks to their members and asked them to "send Tancredo a message." The messages generated by this organized temper tantrum ran the gamut from questions about my patriotism to solemn prayers that I would get some horrible disease and die a painful death – and soon.

All our founders' inspiring, biblical quotes in one place – a must-have for your library: "America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations"

The potential for "elected despots" was well understood by our nation's founders, and they devised mechanisms in the Constitution to reduce that danger. They understood that throughout history, democracies had followed certain patterns and cycles, cycles ending in tyranny. So, instead of a pure democracy, they designed and established a republic organized as a representative democracy, with checks and balances and other innovations to help safeguard our liberties.

Voting your own short-term self-interest over the common good is a problem as old as Rome, but today it has taken on a new urgency. Using the powers of government to expropriate other people's wealth and property enters the pandemic stage when half the voting public pays no taxes

and a third of adults are government employees

or living on government pensions.

Can civics literacy programs in our schools and civics literacy tests for voters hold these forces in check? Maybe it's not the whole answer, but to me, it sure seems like a good start.

-End

Tom Tancredo's commentary was originally posted here.

I agree wholeheartedly with Rep. Tancredo. The votes of the stoopid and the illiterate (civic or otherwise) have pushed this nation right to the very edge of its destruction.

In fact, I would go one step further and restrict voting in national elections to only those who actually pay federal income taxes. Net tax consumers should have no say.

There is, after all, no constitutional right to vote in a national election.

If we continue to allow the non-productive to use the power of the federal government to take from the productive, the fate that Alexis de Tocqueville warned us about all those years ago is going to become a cold, stark reality.

Since the beginning of recorded history all free republics have shared one common trait: They all managed to vote themselves right out of existence.

Perhaps we might be the ones to finally break the chain.

The Extreme Left's Plan for Amerika

Via John F. Gaski at American Thinker (emphasis is mine):

Poor Bill O'Reilly and Brit Hume. There they were on the O'Reilly show a few weeks ago, puzzling over why Barack Obama and the Democrats are doing so many things that are damaging to our country. Bill and Brit agreed that they couldn't possibly be harming the nation intentionally, because negative voter reaction would redound to them politically and electorally. Can't the Democrats see this? Did they suddenly get stupid politically? This is so unlike them. How to explain this anomaly?

Poor Bill and Brit, and many others, indeed. It is time to think the unthinkable and speak the ineffable. Apart from the troubling question of intent, or whether Obama-Pelosi-Reid just have a novel view of the public interest, the national Democrats are unnaturally and mysteriously sanguine despite growing backlash by the American people. Why? One reason: The Dems don't believe they will ever have to face a real election again. Is their plan not becoming obvious? It is very straightforward:

(1) Grant amnesty to the illegal aliens (the correct term for lawbreaking invaders, regardless of their natural and rational motives) which will create up to 30 million reliably Democrat voters -- especially after being registered at least once each by ACORN. That is cushion enough to carry any national election. Why else could Dems be so fixated on this agenda item?

You will find the rest of Gaski's excellent column here.

I believe Gaski has it exactly right, and far too many conservatives are already chilling the bubbly in anticipation of a huge conservative victory next November that I am not at all convinced is coming.

There is no doubt in my mind that TARP and Porkulus were brought about for the sole purpose of ensuring a permanent defeat-proof socialist congress is put into place, and I expect the far-left to employ every dirty trick contained within its arsenal over the next two elections to make that a reality. They might even manage to invent some new ones along the way, such as Universal Voter Registration, which even a blind monkey could see as the vote-fraud scheme it obviously is.

Neal Boortz has been warning us for years about the far-left taking power and never relinquishing it again, and spelled out exactly how they are doing it.

Sadly, there are still too many among us who have yet to wake up and take notice. Yes, the Tea Parties were all well and good, but when you really think about it, they didn't get really cranking until the intricacies of ObamaCare began filtering out.

It's just too bad they didn't get up and going back when the bailouts and slush funds were being proposed and put into place. Those horses have now left the barn and bolted for God-knows-where, and rounding them up again my very well prove impossible.

The people of this nation have historically gotten away with waiting around to the last second of the last minute of the eleventh hour before realizing something was amiss in this country. I fear that we have now reached the point where, by the time most Americans put down their People Magazines, turn off American Idol, and finally began taking notice as to what is really happening to our republic, it is going to be too late to repair the damage.

I pray every day that I am wrong.

Walter Williams Warns of Constitutional Ignorance

Via WorldNetDaily:

Suppose Congress were debating a mandate outlawing tea-party-type protests and other large gatherings criticizing Congress. A news reporter asks Nancy Pelosi where specifically does the Constitution grant Congress the authority to outlaw peaceable assembly. How would you feel if she answered, "Are you serious? Are you serious?" and ignored the question. And what if, later on, someone from her office sent you a press release, as was sent to CNS News, saying that Congress has "broad power to regulate activities that have an effect on interstate commerce," pointing out that demonstrations cause traffic jams and therefore interfere with interstate commerce?

Speaker Pelosi's constitutional contempt, perhaps ignorance, is representative of the majority of members of both the House and the Senate. Their comfort in that ignorance and constitutional contempt, and how readily they articulate it, should be worrisome for every single American. It's not a matter of whether you are for or against Congress' health care proposals. It's not a matter of whether you're liberal or conservative, black or white, male or female, Democrat or Republican, or member of any other group. It's a matter of whether we are going to remain a relatively free people or permit the insidious encroachment on our liberties to continue.

You will find the entire column here.

I cannot think of another time in this nation's short history when our freedoms and liberties were in as much danger as they are right now, today.

I truly believe that the elections of next November are going to be a watershed moment for this country, as the morning after we are either going to wake up in the United States of America, or a country many of us are not going to recognize.

Should it be the latter, I fear the election of 2012 will come along too late to retrieve the situation.

Flag Desecration Video Finalist in DNC Contest

Via JONATHAN ALLEN at Politico:

One of the 20 finalists in health care video contest run by Barack Obama’s campaign arm features a mural of an America flag splattered with health care graffiti until it’s covered completely by black paint.

In the video – which is accompanied by the sound of a heart monitor pumping and then flat-lining – words such as “pre-existing conditions,” “homeless” and “death panel” ultimately obliterate the flag, which reappears on screen seconds later with the words “Health Will Bring Our Country Back to Life” on the blue field where the 50 stars usually are.

According to the Organizing for American Web site, the 20 finalists in the “Health Reform Video Challenge” were chosen by a panel of “qualified” Democratic National Committee “employee judges.”

A contestant whose video didn’t make the final-20 cut complains that a video “defacing the flag” won’t do much to help President Barack Obama or the Democrats sell health care reform.

“They should never pick that,” said the contestant, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “It makes the Democrats look really, really bad.”

A spokesman for Organizing for America said the group was not prepared to provide immediate comment on the video, which, according to the OFA Web site, was produced by Daniel Lahoda and Saber.

According to the OFA Web site, the 20 finalists will be judged by the public and a panel of experts that includes DNC Chairman Tim Kaine, Obama campaign chief David Plouffe, Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Pa.), singer will.i.am and Hollywood stars Rosario Dawson and Dule Hill.

Given the utter disdain many of our "friends" on the far left have for this country and its national symbol, this is not at all surprising.

However, now that more and more Americans are slowly beginning to sour on these people and their hideous, freedom-destroying agenda, this is not exactly what I would call a public relations triumph for the left, as it only serves to confirm what most freedom-loving Americans have suspected about them for decades.

Obama's Pay Commie-czar Reaches Even Further Down the Corporate Totem Pole

Yes, and let's all just pretend we didn't see this coming from 500 miles away, too.

Kenneth Feinberg, President Obama's "pay czar," fresh from sharply reducing the compensation levels of the top twenty-five executives at the seven companies that accepted taxpayer bailout money, is reaching even further down the corporate ladder and is now targeting 525 additional executives for compensation reduction.

The Financial Times has the story here.

Mr Feinberg dismissed the idea that his rulings were guided by the public outrage over bonuses. “We were in no way driven at all by the ‘outrage’,” he said.

“This is not a vindictive programme. This is not punitive.

Right, I'm buying it.

Creeping communism, this is, because once Obama & Co. have managed to run off the executive talent at these companies, which will eventually bring them to their knees, guess who will step in and, because these companies are "too big to fail," nationalize them for the "good" of the nation?

Why, the federal government, of course.

I see this as only the beginning, as I do not believe these people are going to stop with only private companies who were bailed out by the taxpayers. What the Obamanistas have managed to accomplish in all this is getting the American sheeple used to the idea of the federal government limiting the compensation of employees in the "semi" private sector.

This will eventually make it much easier for them when they go after the salaries of those in other private companies.

If you do not think this is one of their ultimate goals, then you haven't been paying attention.

Hey Congress, how about reading the Constitution?

I have long felt our (imperial?) federal government is out of control. It has become too big, too unwieldy, overly complex and completely unresponsive to the very people it is supposed to serve. Just take a look at the hideous federal tax code - all 44,000+ pages of it.

As such, I was not all that surprised when certain congressional elected representatives recently admitted to not having read many of the bills they have actually voted on, or that are currently floating (clunking?) around the halls of congress. While this revelation angered many, including me, I can at least understand, in part, why this is: The damn things are just too long and incomprehensible.

Gene Healy feels similarly, and has hit on something that could actually make a difference (emphasis mine):

You can live in this town for years and still occasionally find yourself gobsmacked by what counts as "normal" by Washington standards. Take the ongoing debate over whether it's fair for us to expect our elected representatives to read the laws they pass and expect us to follow.

Recently, Sen. Thomas Carper, D-DE, and Rep. John Conyers, D-MI, scoffed at the idea that they should read the health care legislation working its way through Congress (hey, it's only a matter of life and death). That attitude has inspired the "Read to Vote" campaign--designed to get congressmen to pledge to "read every word of every bill before casting my vote."

Read to Vote's efforts earned them a condescending Washington Post editorial last month, complaining that their proposal "would bring government to a standstill." (Heaven forbid.) "To read all 1,427 pages of Waxman-Markey," the Post fretted, "it would take at least 12 hours -- tough on a tight legislative timeline."

[...]

In February 2003, the New York Times reported that both parties had hired lawyers to run seminars for congressmen, explaining the requirements of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law they had just passed. "I didn't realize what all was in it," said Rep. Robert Matsui (D.-CA); "A real education process," echoed Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds (R.-NY).

[...]

A better idea can be found in a resolution recently introduced by Sen. Jim Bunning, R-KY, requiring all new legislation to be posted online for 72 hours before consideration. That could put the distributed intelligence of the web to work, ferreting out the many devils in the details of proposed laws.

[...]

Read the bills? It's more important for congressmen to read the Constitution. They'll be pleased to learn that it's short and written in plain English.

You will find Gene Healy's entire Washington Examiner column here.

Perhaps if those charged with representing us in D.C. would take the time to read our nation's founding document and actually heed it's limitations on the powers of government our founder's placed therein, just maybe those hideous and over-sized bills would cut themselves down to size.

I won't hold my breath waiting.

Depressing Poll

Okay, I realize the 2012 elections are forever and ten days away (or so it sometimes seems) and any polling going on now for same is grossly premature, but there is a trend turning up in them that I am finding difficult to ignore, and that is the presence of two RINOs at the top of the republican presidential ticket-Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney.

Now, don't get me wrong, I like both of them personally - Huck for his work promoting the FairTax, and Romney for his business smarts, but as for presidential material, they fall a little short in the for-real conservative department.

We are not yet a full year removed from an election where the republicans sent up a media-selected RINO (John McCain) who was soundly beaten by a former community organizer that three years before no one had even heard of, with questionable personal associations, and who is currently working to transform the America we all know and love into something decidedly hideous (Cuba).

Many true conservatives stayed home last November out of pure disgust, and in some ways, I cannot blame them. I held my nose tightly when I hit the touch screen for McCain, and had to keep telling myself I was actually voting for Gov. Palin just so I could go through with it. I mean, John McCain is even to the left of George W. Bush, who I consider to be a socialist himself.

The party must to do two things it failed to do for the election of 2008:

1. Do not allow the liberal-dominated media to select their candidate for them.
2. Run the RINOs out of the party, and that includes McCain and his meddlesome spawn.
   

Failure to do either could very well mean the re-election of Barack Hussein Obama, and in the immortal words of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, that is just too bitter to contemplate.

If You Oppose Obama, Then You Must Be A Racist

I have been trying hard to ignore the cries of RACISM! that have been emanating from our friends on the left of late, and which are aimed at those of us opposed to the hideous, nation-destroying policies of Barack Hussein Obama. I understand why they are doing it, as they have run out of ways to defend the rapidly failing presidency of the former ACORN lawyer and community agitator, and are now reduced to scraping the bottom of their arsenal barrel in a desperate effort to try and save it for him.

Now they have gone out and dug up our 39th POTUS, affectionately known in my circles as Jihad Jimmy, and who proudly wears his antisemitism on his sleeve, to join them in hurling this ridiculous charge in a pathetic attempt to intimidate us pale-faces into silence:

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

What I find puzzling about the remarks of my former governor is they are coming from someone who is essentially occupying the 43rd spot on the POTUS totem pole. Why would he want to come to the aid of a man that is on a pace to possibly knock him up a notch?

This latest scheme by the left and their dog-washers in the State Controlled Media (SCM) to paint opponents of Obama as racists will ultimately backfire on them, just as their boycott of Glenn Beck and their attack on Rep. Joe Wilson did.

What is truly sad about this latest lefty lunacy is that it could very well damage race relations to a point that may take decades to repair. Isn't it strange how those who claim to support "racial harmony" are the first to fan the flames of racial division every chance they get?

Back when I was researching Obama, it quickly became apparent that he was no "uniter," but was, in fact, a divider. This prompted me to post on several Internet sites that, if elected, Obama could well set race relations in this nation back two decades.

I may have been wrong, as it appears he could set them back far further.

How unfortunate for America.

Inhofe Calls a Spade a Spade

As one who believes this nation is currently swirling much closer to the bottom of the loo (that's British for toilet) than most of my fellow citizens appear to realize, it is nice to hear from an elected representative that is actually plugged in to what is really going on in D.C. right now, as it goes far beyond just the attempt on the part of the Obama cabal to pull off a federal government seizure of our nation's health care system.

Myself, along with many others, took the time to study up on Barack Hussein Obama back when he first announced his intention to run for the highest office in the land. Needless to say, we did not like what we found. This man, who few outside the city of Chicago had even heard of  four years ago, had a list of family members, friends and associates that could have been lifted from the pocket of Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro. Nowhere could we find anybody in his life that had any love for freedom and liberty, two words that have eluded use by our now 44th POTUS since he began campaigning for the office.

Obama ran on a platform of "hope" and "change," while promising to "transform" America. My question was always, "What does a person who has spent his entire life being influenced by Marxists and communists going to transform a nation into?"

Well, it sure as Hell wasn't going to be a bastion of freedom and liberty, now was it?

Today, nearly nine months into what I believe is essentially a Marxist coup (blitzkrieg?) being carried out against our country, a very clear picture of these people's true intentions is becoming crystal clear. Many of my conservative friends appear to still want to believe that the Obama administration is simply trying to turn us into another Canada or France. Wrong! We are being rapidly transformed into Cuba.

America's private sector economy is being dismantled with alarming speed, and its wealth is being systematically destroyed. Companies large and small are hemorrhaging jobs, or closing their doors. The federal government is moving in on many areas of the private sector economy they have no business, nor any constitutional basis for, being involved in.

It pains me to see that, even nine months into this lunacy, there are still members of the Republican Party who seem intent on aiding these hideous people in their efforts to "re-make" America. At least Sen. Jim Inhofe is not among them, who had this to say at a town hall that took place in Grove, Oklahoma on Wednesday:

“I never dreamed I would see an administration try to disavow all the things that have made this country different from all others,” Inhofe told more than 300 people at a town hall meeting in the Grove Community Center.

“I have never seen so many things happening at one time so disheartening to America.” Inhofe found a highly receptive audience. Many wore T-shirts of a local organization called Get America Back. Its Web site promises “a plan to eliminate the socialist government and return Americas (sic) freedoms.”

Neither did I, Senator. But here is the money quote:

“Those of you who think like I do,” Inhofe said, “hope this country can hang on another 16 months.”

Honestly, given the alarming speed at which things have been unfolding in this country over the last nine months, I am truly beginning to wonder if there will be enough of the America I grew up in left to save by November of 2010. What is happening isn't surprising to me in any way, but the pace of it all has shocked me to my core.

Brian Jennings: Congress Gunning for Conservative Talk Radio

If the left thinks the Tea Parties are growing now, just let the enemies of freedom try to silence talk radio, the one area of the media not controlled by these same lefties.
