Why did Obama not speak in support of an Iranian revolution (until his luke warm words of sadness for protesters was dragged out of him, basically kicking and screaming)? His first inclination was to wait and see how things played out.
Then, in Hondorus, the president is removed from office with the blessing of their Supreme Court, and their Congress, in the name of protecting their Constition. Obama came out immediately and denounced the Hondoran attempts to defend their democracy. You see, the illegal act that the Honduran president was comitting was an illeagal attempt to eliminate the two term limit. Just like their mutual friend Hugo Chavez.
The existence of fake democracy is on the rise. The Russians have lost their short lived democracy. Iran never really had one, but they were able to placate their own people until their clumsy attempt to rig an election. Hugo (Obama's book club buddy) has hijacked the Venezuelan Government.
Don't think for a second that it can't happen here! If legalizing the largely Latino undocumented voter community, and the ACORN enabled voter fraud successfully gets Obama a second term, you can be sure he will go for a third term. That's why the armed defense of democracy sends a chill down his back, and the idea of mass protests over election fraud is something he is very cool on.
The Wall Street Journal and Fox News are reporting that the Federal Inspector General for the agency that oversees government subsidized volunteer programs such as AmeriCorps, and oh say ACORN, has been fired by the White House. The reason? Good old Chicago style cronyism is the issue on the surface. You see, This Inspector General, Mr Gerald Walpin, had blown the whistle on a non-profit organization that was embezzling taxpayer money. That's his job after all. Well, unfortunately for Mr Walpin, the non-profit receiving the federal funds happened to be NBA star and Obama supporter Kevin Johnson. Because Mr Walpin refused to drop his recomendation for banning Mr Johnson from recieving federal funds, he has been fired.
What's the big deal? Favoritism, spoils of war, politics as usual right? This is a huge deal! This is not a superficial case for abuse of power. I mean forget the fact that Obama has been promising the american people that there would be complete transparency in the way stimulus funds would be spent. Forget the fact that Obama co-sponsored the Inspector General Reform Act, making the firing of Mr. Walpin illegal. This is about elections! This is about greasing the rails and paving the way for the smooth flow of fedral money to ACORN. The brown shirts, er um, I mean orange shirts will play an ever increasing role in elections and politics. It was recently reported (saw it on Atlas Shrugged first) that ACORN recently got involved with the antics taking place in the New York State Senate. Participating in a protest, ACORN and gang knocked down a Republican State Senator and spit in the face of his aid.
If heir presidente gets to move on his ideas for mandatory national service, the ranks of ACORN will swell with the young impresionable minds of your children. The Obama Youth is born! (visualize the end of the star wars movie where the camera pans out revealing the massive clone army forming up and being loaded onto the Empires star cruisers)
Think about it. What has the government ever done right? Whatever they touch becomes full of waste, and cronyism. And now, we are contemplating the governement overseeing our very well being.
In an Op-ed piece by Karl Rove in yesterdays Wall Street Journal, he makes arguments against Government run health care. He argues:
It's unnecessary
It's unfair competition to private Insurers
It's unfair competition to private Insurers
It will be too expensive to taxpayers
It puts Government in between Doctor and Patients
All of these arguments are good, and they are true. However, they don't go far enough. It's much scarier and more odious than that. Far beyond the fact that the American public just can't afford this, far beyond the fact that the quality of care for you and your family have access to will be dramatically diminished, far beyond the fact the Government will be in the business of deciding who lives and who dies, the governmenment will run every aspect of your life. Once the Government is in-control and responsible for delivering health care the system will become bankrupt and immediately go into cost-cutting cost savings mode. The ultimate 'serious crisis that can't go to waste"
Every diktat, every partisan ideal, will be achieved in the name of lowering the cost of health care. There is not a single issue that cannot be spun into a health care or global warming issue. Maybe you agreed with anti-smoking laws. Maybe you agree with a ban on 'trans-fats' in restaurants. Get ready to close down McDonalds; because we need to fight obesity. Get ready for another prohibition on alcohol; because drunk drivers create patients in hospitals, and the cost of treating the liver related health issues is just too great. Abortion won't just be legal, it will be encouraged; because we need to do everything we can to reduce the number of entitled health care recipients. Get ready for the Coca-Cola tax, to help cover the cost of obesity related treatments. And the kit-kat tax, the Reeces Peanut Butter cup tax, the Girl Scout Cookie tax, and so on. You will have to buy cars from GM (this one can be an argument for global warming and Healthcare); because the government used their ownership stake to force them to create the most environmentally friendly and safest car car ever (yeah right)! The obamawagon will reduce health care costs and save the earth!
Karl Roves article correctly points out:
We can fix a lot of bad stuff President Barack Obama might do, he told me. But if Mr. Obama signs into law a "public option," government-run insurance program as part of health-care reform we won't be able to undo the damage.
The total control that this issue gives the government, and the out of control illogical spins and abuse only ends in a society that looks like the one in the movie Logan's Run.
Congratulations comrades! You and the proletariat of the UAW are now the proud owners of a 'new GM'; aka Government Motors.
Sacrifice was the word of the day when both the Obama and Fritz announced the bankruptcy plan for GM to the nation. Be sure you understand what sacrifice means.
Obama said
Be aware you are making a sacrifice for future generations.
What's good for General Motors is good for America.
When Hugo Chavez nationalizes a company it is called communism. When Obama nationalizes a company, it's called a bail out. Hmmmm....
Oh, and this just in. According to Reuters Hugo Chavez believes that Obama is further to the left than he and Castro are!
"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right,"
Is anyone surprised Comrade Obama is opening up flights and regular mail service to Cuba? I mean how else can we covertly help prop up Obama's ideological comrades?
Today The Commander in Hope announced his plans for a Cyber Czar. My first thought was "what? Why another layer of bureaucracy? Why is this persons organization going to be better than the FBI or the NSA? Won't this just cause more turf wars and infighting? Will the position be granted broad powers by congress? How is this gonna work?"
But then I got it. Who ever gets appointed to this position will have a very aggressive to do list before even pretending to fight off Chinese hackers.
Action items as of day 1:
Make sure all of the tracks that could lead to the discovery of the illegal internet fund raising by the Obama campaign can never be discovered.
Make sure that the GOP or any other group can't use anonymous micro-transactions over the internet from super rich donators (like George Soros) for fund raising, like the Obama campaign did.
Roll out internet voting in time for the 2012 election.
I don't care who you are; that's a lot of work to get done in 4 years.
James Carville has been hawking his new book "40 More Years" on all the networks and news cable shows. He's being coy. He knows that if everything goes according to plan that we are looking down the precipice of one party rule, a.k.a totalitarianism, forever!
Two issues we will be hearing about more of in the future can make this a certainty. Only one of the initiatives needs to be successful.
Internet voting
Immigration reform
By 2012, the Reagan Democrats, and the Angry at Bush Conservatives will be sick of hope-and-change-anomics. But it could be too late. The middle of America swing voters won't be able to make up for the government dependent wave of new amnesty voters or the number of votes that can litterally be "programmed" into the election via internet voting.
If both of these issues are not completely put down, then Carville is right; The Republic is Dead!
He's wrong in his reasoning of why. He forgets that the poor, young, idealistic students grow up, get jobs, and ultimately think differently about having their money separated from them with such carelessness.
Opps they did it again. Did anyone really think they would not? North Korea performed an underground test of one of their nuclear bombs, and then tested 3, what they hope to someday become, Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM's).
This is the kind of sign language that if you suddenly became deaf you would still understand clearly what was being communicated to you. But just in case, I will translate it here for the Commander of Hope, and his Secretary of Change. "We (North Korea) have bombs like this, and we have missiles like this. We will put these bombs on these missiles, and we will aim them at somebodies head, like Japan, until you give us whatever we ask for. Forever!"
Well, it's a good thing our President has that secret weapon, that no one else ever thought of, and was one of the distinguishing characteristics that got him elected as President and leader of the free world. Talking to our enemies with no preconditions!
It's time for the president to put the 'talk to our enemies' plank of the hope an change platform, into action.
Somewhere John Bolton is banging his head against a wall.
Thank god that after Obama came out and apologized to the terrorists for their rough treatment, former Vice-President Cheney came out and reminded America of some cause and effect historical facts.
Since 1993, marked by Al Queda's first attempt to blow up the World Trade Center, terrorist have been striking western targets, killing innocent civilians, flying unsuspecting citizens into sky scrapers, cutting the heads off of anyone they think noteworthy.
Until after 9/11. Since then, thanks to the simulated sensation of drowning the ability of Al Queda to plan and execute attacks with the same sort of impunity has been drastically reduced.
As far as this debate goes, I can't help but make another reference to the movie a few good men.
Judge Randolph: You *don’t* have to answer that question! Col. Jessep: I'll answer the question!
[to Kaffee] Col. Jessep: You want answers? Kaffee: I think I'm entitled. Col. Jessep: *You want answers?* Kaffee: *I want the truth!* Col. Jessep: *You can’t handle the truth!*
[pauses] Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to. Kaffee: Did you order the Code Red? Col. Jessep: I did the job I... Kaffee: *Did you order the Code Red?* Col. Jessep: *You’re Goddamned right I did!*
The thought that the people who had been attacking us constantly up until the time we began waterboarding will be less likely to attack us when we stop waterboarding, even though we weren't waterboarding during the time frame they were attacking us with impunity is preposterous! And it's making medizzy. I guess that's why they call it spin.
Almost immediately after the meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu and the President of the United States the government of Iran, and more specifically their President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, sent a shot across the the bow of the ship of state, and Odama's foreign policy. The message was clear; "Don't dare meet with zionists, and then come out and tell the world that the clock is ticking on Iran Mr. B Hussein Obama. We are not afraid of you. We can rattle our sword louder than you can. We know you will not unsheathe your sword, and you will have to wait and see what we do". It was very symbolic to send that message by launching a missile that sailed though the air like an erect middle finger.
Essentially Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told B. Hussein Obama to "kiss my Hamass". So he did. In a speech given today President Obama said
"Our government made decisions based upon fear rather than foresight and all too often trimmed facts and evidence to fit ideological predispositions,"
"In other words, we went off course."
Which course was that? We went off course from the era of inaction where placing bombs in the garage of the twin towers went unnoticed? The course where Osam bin Laden was able to build a terrorist network, and attack a US Navy ship of war? The course where we were afraid to act on intelligence and kill Osama Bin Laden when we had the chance? The course where they felt comfortable attacking American consulates at will, eventually emboldening them to drive our own commercial jet liners into the World Trade Center? Thank god we didn't stay on that course!
Decisions based on fear? I am very eager to learn about what actions decisions based on bravery will bring us. Then again, I'm not sure it is very brave to come out the day after Iran flexes its muscles and say "We are sorry, we didn't mean it, Bush did it, please don't hurt us, we just want you to like us".
As for closing Gitmo? Fine, whatever. Put the 244 terrorist in regular "Federal POUND ME IN THE A@@ prison". If they didn't like water boarding, lets see how they like prison rape.
