The War is Over!!! Well – Maybe Not

His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Barry-O I made the official announcement earlier this evening that “combat operations in Iraq” are complete. One would get the idea from this announcement that he has belatedly made good on a campaign promise. However, upon further inspection, you see yet another level of deceit from the factually challenged president. Allow me to explain.

For the past month, the Obama compliant main stream media has been tripping over itself to indoctrinate the American people that the Emperor was finally making good on his Iraq War promise. Troops were shown to be leaving their bases in Iraq and shifted to bases in Kuwait. However, many combat troops actually remain in Iraq in spite of the media gushing and tonight’s announcement from the Charlatan-in-Chief. Rather than pulling ALL the combat troops out of Iraq, the Obama Infestation simply renamed them and redefined their mission.

What was formally known as a Combat Battalion is now being referred to as “Advice and Support Battalion”. Instead of it’s mission being to seek out hostile insurgent forces and improvised explosive devices, our troops will remain on their bases and wait for something to happen that the Iraqi Defense Forces cannot handle on their own – which is just about everything that could happen.

The telling story in all of this comes from the Bangor Daily News published on August 24th…

As the nation watches troops being withdrawn from the Middle East, few perhaps are aware that another wave of soldiers is being deployed.

On Tuesday, a group of about 150 soldiers from the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, based in Fort Hood, Texas, had a two-hour layover at Bangor International Airport on their way to southern Iraq.

In reality, the troops being “withdrawn from the Middle East” are troops who were late being cycled back to the US. Additional troops are being filtered into Iraq and Kuwait to serve in these new “Advice and Support Battalions”. Nothing’s changed but the mission and the names of the units. Tankers, Cannoneers, and Infantrymen are still being deployed to Iraq or to staging areas outside of Iraq. The idea that the “War” is over is a twisting of the truth.

What is more offensive and hypocritical of Obamaramadingdong is the fact that he takes credit for the accomplishments that our troops have made. As a Senator he opposed the troop surge which is the reason why the insurgency has been suppressed to the point where Obama can feel comfortable with scamming the American people. Additionally, as a Senator, Barry voted against funding troops in the field.

To add insult to injury, the Emperor mentioned former President George W. Bush in passing during his announcement. Saying that he spoke with the former President about this announcement earlier in the day and although he and the former President had differing views on the War in the beginning, blah… blah… blah…

Obama is an opportunity seeking flim-flam man. If he were a box of cereal (aptly named BarryO’s) he’d be an exciting colorful box that promises great taste, zero calories, zero grams of sugar, zero cholesterol, but when you open the box, there’s nothing inside. But then again, what do you expect from the empty suit that brought us undefined ‘hope’ and ‘change’?

Speaking of which, I believe that I’ve finally figured out that whole ‘hope’ and ‘change’ thing.

Like it or not, he’s going to fundamentally ‘change’ American and we are all going to have to ‘hope’ that our freedoms aren’t all completely taken from us in the process.

Blind ‘hope’ in undefined ‘change’. How’s it working out for you America?

  • Unemployment nearly doubled.
  • Deficit nearly quadrupled.
  • National Debt approaching $14 Trillion with unfunded liabilities approaching $130 Trillion.
  • Record numbers of Americans on food assistance.
  • 1-in-6 Americans on some form of federal assistance.

Somehow, I don’t think this is what the voters were expecting.

As for August 31, 2010 being the date to end combat operations, truth be told President George W. Bush negotiated this event. Even though August 31, 2010 date wasn’t mentioned specifically in the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), it has always been understood that events on the ground would determine the ultimate time-line of events. According to the agreement…

The U.S. has been involved in military operations in Iraq since March of 2003. The legal framework under which the U.S. has operated includes H.J.Res. 114 (P.L. 107-243), multiple U.N. Security Council Resolutions, as well as orders under the Coalition Provisional Authority. The U.N. Security Council extended the mandate for the multinational forces through December 31, 2008.

On November 26, 2007, U.S. President George W. Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Kamel Al-Maliki signed a Declaration of Principles for a Long-Term Relationship of Cooperation and Friendship Between the Republic of Iraq and the United States of America. Pursuant to this Declaration, the parties pledged to “begin as soon as possible, with the aim to achieve, before July 31, 2008, agreements between the two governments with respect to the political, cultural, economic, and security spheres.” Among other things, the Declaration proclaims the parties’ intention to enter an agreement that would commit the United States to provide security assurances to Iraq, arm and train Iraqi security forces, and confront Al Qaeda and other terrorist entities within Iraqi territory.

On November 17, 2008, after months of negotiations, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker and Iraq Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari signed two documents: (1) the Strategic Framework Agreement for a Relationship of Friendship and Cooperation between the United States and the Republic of Iraq, and (2) the Agreement Between the United States of America and Republic of Iraq On the Withdrawal of United States Forces from Iraq and the Organization of Their Activities during Their Temporary Presence in Iraq. The second agreement is commonly referred to as the SOFA between the United States and Iraq and is incorporated by reference into the larger strategic agreement.

Congress has several tools by which to exercise oversight regarding negotiation, form, conclusion, and implementation of agreements by the United States. The agreements with Iraq were negotiated and concluded as executive agreements and entered into force on January 1, 2009, and yet there remain many unanswered questions about the specific terms within the SOFA. This report begins by discussing the historical legal framework governing U.S. military operations in Iraq. The report then provides a general background as to the content of agreements traditionally considered Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs). Finally, the report discusses specific aspects of the SOFA, highlighting issues that may require continued congressional oversight. [1] – emphasis mine

In reality, as long as US forces were withdrawn from the cities by June 30, 2009, and the mandated date for full withdrawal “no later than December 31, 2011[2]” hasn’t expired, anything short of full withdrawal is consistent with the US-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement which became binding 19 days prior to Obama assuming the Presidency.

To put it bluntly, Obama just rode in as the current Lib Infesting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. to take credit for the withdrawal as if he had to actually do something to bring it about. It’s pretty easy to be seen as making the difficult decisions when they have already been made by more responsible and prudent individuals before you ever needed to take the matter under consideration isn’t it?

In conclusion, Iraq is still a potentially dangerous place and the United States is still under an obligation to provide security and training for Iraqi Defense Forces. There is a reason why U.S. troops haven’t left the region entirely, but rather withdrawn to another friendly host country in the region from which rapid deployment is possible.

As the Obama Infestation plays games with semantics in regards to our fighting men and women in Iraq, the Emperor has egg on his face in regards to Afghanistan. In the past 3 days 21 U.S. troops have lost their lives in Afghanistan. One has to wonder, if Obama would have given Gen. Stanley McCrystal the full number of troops he asked for, could these 21 deaths have been minimized or avoided?

Obama, Religion, Ideology, and Deception

The Presidency and religion is something the American voter has been wrestling with since the 1960 Presidential campaign when many questioned whether John F. Kennedy would hold a greater allegiance to the Constitution (the American people) or to the Pope. The question itself showed a complete lack of knowledge of Catholicism.

His Holiness the Pope, in this case John XXIII, had no direct influence over the political inter-workings of any nation. Popes by definition are the successors of Peter (Christ’s right hand man so to speak) and not a politician or king. Allegiance to the Bishop of Rome is limited to the theological teachings within the Church. The degree in which those teachings spill out into public policy is rather subjective depending upon the level of devotion a President has to his chosen faith. A more devout and “conservative” Catholic would subject his policy decisions to the scrutiny of his faith. For example: a devout Catholic as President today would be compelled to seek out a way to strike down Roe v. Wade and limit the cold-blooded murder of the unborn. However, if the person infesting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W. happens to be Nancy Pelosi, there isn’t much chance of that happening.

My point is this: when considering the religious beliefs of a potential or sitting President of the United States, it is important to understand what those beliefs are. In the case of John F. Kennedy and Catholicism, there existed no conflict with public policy. Right was right and wrong was wrong. However, when you do not understand the religious beliefs held by the sitting President, there is a conflict. He/she can impose a hidden theological agenda on the nation stealthily and the American people would have no chance to defend the nation against that agenda.

With regard to Barack Obama, nearly 25% of this nation believes he hasn’t been honest in declaring his religious preference. Many will say that he has declared himself to be a Christian, but his actions do not seem to mirror that declaration. He has made speeches apologizing for “America’s arrogance” in the Muslim world. He has, on at least one occasion while in Saudi Arabia, quoted many verses of the Qu’ran calling it “the Holy Qu’ran”. In contrast, he has mocked the Holy Bible on many occasions. He has told an American reporter in an interview that he sees Jesus as a “man of history”. What?!? No Christian of any true Christian denomination would EVER refer to the Son of God as a “man of history”. Strike one against the claims of Christianity.

Obama attended Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for 25 years. He has claimed to have been baptized in that church. What does that mean?

Trinity United Church of Christ is led by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr. Rev. Wright is a teacher of Black Liberation Theology which is a hybrid of Liberation Theology which itself has its origins in Latin America and the brain child of Catholic Priests. It has been denounced by the Vatican because it has Marxism as its core. To understand the appeal of this church’s teachings in Obama’s mind you must first understand the man and his history.

From the socialism seeking itinerant upbringing of his mother to his father’s denouncing of his Islamic faith, young Barack Hussein Obama was doomed to a life of confusion. He was abandoned by his father in favor of a graduate degree from Harvard and the goal of returning to Kenya to enter politics. He was then abandoned by his mother as she pursued her career. Young Barack was sent back to his grandparents in Hawaii and exposed to some of the most radical Marxist teachings at the hands of Frank Marshall Davis.

According to Obama, as he wrote in his book Dreams of My Father, he sought out Radicals and Marxists in college. He, like his father, attended Harvard for Graduate School to earn his law degree. I believe that I must remind you that Harvard was the transmission point for Fabian Socialism into academia.

According to Islamic (Sharia) Law, a child born of a Muslim father is Muslim and the faith of the mother is immaterial. Sharia doesn’t recognize conversion from Islam into any other faith. Barack Obama, since he has exhibited a keen knowledge of the Qu’ran, must surely understand this fact and yet he claims he is Christian.

While living in Indonesia, young Barack was registered in public school even though only the children of citizens are eligible to attend. On the registration documentation, his name is listed as Barry Soetoro, son of Lolo Soetoro – a Muslim. Incidentally, young Barry Soetoro’s religion was listed as Islam and yet he claims to be Christian.

At this point, I’m going to divert from religion to eligibility to be President of the United States. Many who claim Obama is ineligible are attempting to make the case on the ambiguity surrounding the place of his birth. Because the matter of the location of his birth seems to be impossible to prove, I say we should concentrate on making the case based on what we know to be true.

  1. Barack Hussein Obama was registered in public school in Indonesia under the name Barry Soetoro. Obama does not deny this.
  2. Indonesia at the time required Indonesian citizenship to attend public school.
  3. Indonesia at the time did not recognize dual citizenship.

It is my contention that these three facts speak to Obama’s ineligibility alone. To be President of the United States you must be a natural born citizen. Even if we were to stipulate to that fact, it can be, and should be, argued that he was voluntarily expatriated by his mother and step-father when they registered him in public school in Indonesia. As such, if he never applied for citizenship upon his return to the United States he is in fact an illegal alien. If he had applied for citizenship and it was granted, he is no longer an natural born citizen but rather a naturalized citizen and ineligible to serve as President.

Back to my original topic…

If you understand that Barack Obama is the child of a socialist and a marxist, raised in various parts of the world, sought out socialists and radical thought throughout his formative years, it is reasonable to understand why he would adopt such a radical theology when seeking out a church. Trinity United Church of Christ was identified as a stepping stone for black politics in Chicago. After all, Oprah Winfrey attended that same church and an endorsement from her would carry a young politician a long way.

I submit to you, that his “Christian” faith is a sham which he has used as a political tool to get him where he is. Sure he closely identifies with many of that church’s teachings because they conform to his Marxist roots, but that does not make him Christian.

On the topic of Liberation Theology which Black Liberation Theology is based upon, one must understand the reasons why the Catholic Church rejected that teaching…

From Spe Salvi – Encyclical written by Pope Benedict XVI November 30, 2007 -

20. The nineteenth century held fast to its faith in progress as the new form of human hope, and it continued to consider reason and freedom as the guiding stars to be followed along the path of hope. Nevertheless, the increasingly rapid advance of technical development and the industrialization connected with it soon gave rise to an entirely new social situation: there emerged a class of industrial workers and the so-called “industrial proletariat”, whose dreadful living conditions Friedrich Engels described alarmingly in 1845. For his readers, the conclusion is clear: this cannot continue; a change is necessary. Yet the change would shake up and overturn the entire structure of bourgeois society. After the bourgeois revolution of 1789, the time had come for a new, proletarian revolution: progress could not simply continue in small, linear steps. A revolutionary leap was needed. Karl Marx took up the rallying call, and applied his incisive language and intellect to the task of launching this major new and, as he thought, definitive step in history towards salvation—towards what Kant had described as the “Kingdom of God”. Once the truth of the hereafter had been rejected, it would then be a question of establishing the truth of the here and now. The critique of Heaven is transformed into the critique of earth, the critique of theology into the critique of politics. Progress towards the better, towards the definitively good world, no longer comes simply from science but from politics—from a scientifically conceived politics that recognizes the structure of history and society and thus points out the road towards revolution, towards all-encompassing change. With great precision, albeit with a certain onesided bias, Marx described the situation of his time, and with great analytical skill he spelled out the paths leading to revolution—and not only theoretically: by means of the Communist Party that came into being from the Communist Manifesto of 1848, he set it in motion. His promise, owing to the acuteness of his analysis and his clear indication of the means for radical change, was and still remains an endless source of fascination. Real revolution followed, in the most radical way in Russia.

21. Together with the victory of the revolution, though, Marx’s fundamental error also became evident. He showed precisely how to overthrow the existing order, but he did not say how matters should proceed thereafter. He simply presumed that with the expropriation of the ruling class, with the fall of political power and the socialization of means of production, the new Jerusalem would be realized. Then, indeed, all contradictions would be resolved, man and the world would finally sort themselves out. Then everything would be able to proceed by itself along the right path, because everything would belong to everyone and all would desire the best for one another. Thus, having accomplished the revolution, Lenin must have realized that the writings of the master gave no indication as to how to proceed. True, Marx had spoken of the interim phase of the dictatorship of the proletariat as a necessity which in time would automatically become redundant. This “intermediate phase” we know all too well, and we also know how it then developed, not ushering in a perfect world, but leaving behind a trail of appalling destruction. Marx not only omitted to work out how this new world would be organized—which should, of course, have been unnecessary. His silence on this matter follows logically from his chosen approach. His error lay deeper. He forgot that man always remains man. He forgot man and he forgot man’s freedom. He forgot that freedom always remains also freedom for evil. He thought that once the economy had been put right, everything would automatically be put right. His real error is materialism: man, in fact, is not merely the product of economic conditions, and it is not possible to redeem him purely from the outside by creating a favourable economic environment.

Because Liberation Theology has Marxism at its roots, it is impossible for any Catholic, and by association any Christian, to adhere to such a teaching because it is inherently anti-Christian. Marx wrote that religion is “the opiate of the masses”. Teachers of Liberation Theology are less concerned with the teachings of Christ than those of Marx. This is heresy.

In conclusion, at best Obama is a shadow Muslim. At worst, and what I believe is actually the truth, Obama is a Marxist who wears Christianity as a cloak like all followers of Black Liberation Theology; using his faith as a conduit to achieve the goal of advancing socialism in this country. He has succeeded because those who cast votes for him failed to understand who he was and is.

Obama’s MSM Shill, Questioning His Muslim Heritage, and Journalistic Malpractice

Amid the fresh controversy created by the recent release of the results of two polls showing an increasing number of Americans believe Barack Hussein Obama is Muslim, a headline on The Drudge Report caught my eye. It involves some items printed in that bastion of legitimate news, The New York Times (all the news that is fit to wrap fish in; or line bird cages for that matter).

On May 12, 2008, the NYT asked the question – President Apostate? The Times actually had the audacity to ask the questions that needed to be asked, however, they failed to deliver an answer.

From the NYT:

One danger of such charisma, however, is that it can evoke unrealistic hopes of what a candidate could actually accomplish in office regardless of his own personal abilities. Case in point is the oft-made claim that an Obama presidency would be welcomed by the Muslim world.

This idea often goes hand in hand with the altogether more plausible argument that Mr. Obama’s election would raise America’s esteem in Africa — indeed, he already arouses much enthusiasm in his father’s native Kenya and to a degree elsewhere on the continent.

But it is a mistake to conflate his African identity with his Muslim heritage. Senator Obama is half African by birth and Africans can understandably identify with him. In Islam, however, there is no such thing as a half-Muslim. Like all monotheistic religions, Islam is an exclusive faith.

As the son of the Muslim father, Senator Obama was born a Muslim under Muslim law as it is universally understood. It makes no difference that, as Senator Obama has written, his father said he renounced his religion. Likewise, under Muslim law based on the Koran his mother’s Christian background is irrelevant. – emphasis mine

The Times never went beyond this statement of reality. Instead they chose to point to his “chosen Christian faith”.

Since asking the question back in May 2008, the NYT and other “legitimate” news sources have conveniently avoided revisiting the question of Obama’s faith. However, in the dust-up created by the proposed Ground Zero Mosque (the so-called Cordoba House), questions of Obama’s faith has once again entered the American discussion.

A Pew Research poll revealed that 1-in-5 Americans believe Barack Hussein Obama to be a submissive of Muhammad’s delusional visions and rantings. A Time poll on the same subject revealed that 1-in-4 believe Obama is a Muslim. Given that Obama has hosted a Ramadan celebration at the White House, snubbed the Boy Scouts of America by not attending their prayer breakfast, and making statements supporting the planned Cordoba House, the American people are beginning to look more closely at the man with the middle name Hussein. But where is the press?

[cue crickets]

While we again wait for the main stream media to catch-up to the American people and ask the tough questions they should have asked prior to November 4, 2008, perhaps we should move on as if they will choose to continue to ignore their responsibilities in favor of being Mr. Obama’s dissemination of propaganda conduit. Although I think that is beginning to wear on the media as well. After-all, who can glean any information out of Robert Gibbs? The man stutters more than Mel Tillis.

As for the Emperor… What I can’t understand is the love affair that American academics have with the moron. I mean, who takes a teleprompter on vacation? Obama, that’s who. For someone who was to be a great departure from the poor rhetorical skills of George W. Bush he seems to be extremely dependent upon prepared remarks. Bush was best when he diverted from the prepared statements. Obama on the other hand can’t function without his teleprompter. Off-the-cuff Obama is a stammering idiot. No wonder he keeps Gibbs. Birds of a feather etc…

And what is with that smug Leninist posing? It’s like he has a need to show that he is superior to everyone else staring off into the distance in an attempt to show he’s a visionary. It’s called arrogance – a disease of the elite.

The American press has failed the American people. To get honest reporting about the Obama Infestation one has to read news sources in the UK. This fact alone should be proof positive of the journalistic malpractice being committed by the American dead trees and alphabets. Save FoxNews, America’s journalistic community is devoid of any integrity as they actively shill for the Progressive Utopian Emperor. And they aren’t even attempting to hide it anymore.

The White House addressed the latest questioning of Obama’s faith by having a Communications underling tell the White House Press Pool that Obama is Christian and he prays everyday. The fact that he prays everyday isn’t the concern of the people. What the people want to know is if he finds the need to orient his body towards Mecca when he does. “He prays everyday” what kind of fools do they think the people are? Muslims pray everyday as well – 5 times!

I don’t give a rat’s ass if he’s a Muslim unless he wants to be President. If he’s the President of the United States, in a time of war, against an enemy that is waging a war in the name of their religion, and that religion is the same one that the President is accused of being a member of, there are questions that need to be answered.

In 1960, many Protestant Americans worried that John F. Kennedy’s Catholic faith would be an impediment to his ability to govern. After-all, who would he be loyal to, the US Constitution which translates into the American people or the Pope. The same should be asked of Obama. Who is he loyal to? The Constitution – which he has a track record of downplaying as a contract of negative liberties – or is he a submissive to Islam? I fear the truth may be that he is a submissive follower of Islam. Especially when he refers to Muhammad’s horror novel as “the holy Qu’ran” and greets Muslims in perfect Arabic.

In 1960, the American press asked the questions and answers were given. John Kennedy WAS elected President and by all accounts his faith never played a direct roll in his governance. However in 2010, nearly 2 years into the Obama Infestation and the American people are still asking the same questions of Barack Hussein Obama. And like all the other questioning of Obama’s past, it gets avoided. Why is it so important for him to shield the American people from his past? Perhaps it is because he’s on a mission that he’s already explained to the American people at $20 a copy. His book “Dreams from My Father” outlines what his father dreamed of for Kenya. Perhaps Junior is following in his absent daddy’s footsteps and wishes to carry on his pappy’s dream in the United States. It’s called Communism.

At a time when the socialist societies of the world are beginning to downsize their governments, Barry O is expanding ours. Why? It fulfills the strategy of instituting socialism outlined by Columbia Professors Richard Cloward and Francis Fox Piven. The Cloward-Piven Strategy to Implement Socialist Revolution was written in 1966 at the height of civil unrest in the United States. Progressives and Socialists believed they could force revolution. The strategy was then and is now to overwhelm the system and cause it to collapse. It’s on its way thanks to Obama’s Keynesian economic policies.

But where is the press?

I won’t hold my breath.

Will Annual ‘Teacher Bailout’ Be The Next Federal Entitlement?

According to a well-known Chinese proverb, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” The Federal government has so usurped the sovereignty of the various states that they have become dependent upon mother government for their very existence. This is the reason why the United States House of Representatives found itself in session today. That and to give Charlie Rangel an opportunity to whine on the House floor about his persecution at the hands of the Ethics Committee.

The White House and Congressional Democrats were all in a tither about getting a $26 Billion state aid packaged passed that Nancy Pelosi felt compelled to call the House back into session during the August recess. The emergency? To get the legislation passed before the school year begins. Why? So those reliable Democrat votes (teachers) don’t lose their jobs.

Is this going to be an annual event? I mean, is this setting the standard for years to come? Will the House and Senate be recalled from their “much needed” summer recess in order to pass “emergency” legislation so that teachers don’t lose their jobs every August from now until the fall of the Republic? 47 of the 50 states are running budget deficits thanks to mismanagement at the state level and federal intrusion. Unfunded mandates from the federal government and federal aid has made the states dependent upon the feds for funding of all aspects of governance. This is NOT how this nation is supposed to work. If anything, it should be reversed. At least that was the intention of the founders.

Education has become the latest dependency class. Soon to follow will be police and fire departments. Although, the aid package passed this afternoon by the House is a general aid package for states that includes funding for police and fire.

Glenn Beck warned several weeks ago that soon we will have a national police force. He went on to say that it won’t be named as such but follow the money trail.

If the Cleveland Police Department accepts federal funding you should fell safe to bet the farm that the feds will have a dominant say in how the CPD conducts its business. The same can be said of the fire departments AND – Teachers.

Conservative pundits – myself included – understand that this is nothing more than another veiled payoff to a major labor union. Employed teachers equal votes for the Democrat majority. Verbose urging from the Emperor increases his popularity among his base, but only his base.

What isn’t widely known about this bill is that it steals money from another federal program in order for it to be paid for. Beginning in 2014, the federal food stamp program will have a reduction in its planned annual increase in order to keep under-performing and junior teachers in their positions for the 2010-2011 school year. When 2014 rolls around, Progressives around the country will be screaming for additional funding for the food stamp program because this bill gutted the planning increase in funding.

What I find interesting is the choice of which federal spending program to raid in order to keep these under-performing and junior liberal teachers working. The food stamp program. A recent report showed that a record number of Americans are receiving benefits from that very program. Approximately 40.5 million to be exact.

What also hasn’t been discussed in public is the fact that funding for these teachers is already in place. Nearly half of the American Robbery and Redistribution Act funds have yet to be spent. It included funding for teachers, police, and fire but yet the Congress of the United States (House and Senate) with urging from the President, thought that new legislation with an additional funding source needed to be passed now – urgently – before the beginning of the school year so that more liberals turn out to the polls on November 2nd to vote for Democrats. There is no other explanation.

Why use existing funding when they can seem to be taking action by passing new legislation. As I said in another post, it’s a shell game.

I predict that next year there will be a push from the White House to bailout the states again. The cries will be that our school children need these teachers in class when in reality Obama needs their votes.

Dems Poised to Feel Wrath of Voters in ’10 Just As GOP Did in ’06 & ’08

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”George Santayana

.

Democrats haven’t learned anything from the failures of the GOP in 2006 and 2008. They have consistently gotten it wrong over the last two election cycles. Democrats falsely believed that the rejection of GOP candidates in the past two election cycles were a rejection of policy. They ran on the mantra of the “Culture of Corruption” and won an unstoppable majority.

Was there corruption in the GOP? Yes there was. Many were beginning to get corrupted by the power that Washington D.C. infects. Many were using their offices to gain personally and others were using legislation to insure re-election. The Pork being enjoyed by many Republican members of Congress in the latter years of the Bush Administration led to the downfall of the GOP.

In 2006 Conservative voters had no one to vote for so they stayed home. In the 2008 Presidential race, the choice was between a Progressive Democrat and a Progressive Republican – Socialist or Socialist Lite. Identity politics played a larger roll than ever before in American politics. The euphoria created by the possibility of electing a minority candidate to the Presidency won over voters and rationale lost.

The GOP’s candidate was selected by the progressive main stream media because they all knew that if given the choice between a Democrat and a Liberal Republican, Conservative voters would bail on the Republican as they did in 2006.

Voter intimidation and fraud did play a roll in the 2008 races as well. But yet, the Obama Infestation doesn’t have any interest in making sure those crimes are never again repeated. After-all, they benefited from those crimes.

Since taking office, Obama and Nancy Pelosi have led their party to the far left. The sheer growth of the federal government and the near Imperial powers now granted to the President by this Congress must have the founding fathers rolling in their graves. The result of all this growth in government is record high deficits which are 4 times the size of those that led to the downfall of the GOP in 2006.

The $427 Billion deficit racked up by the Bush Administration in 2005 pales in comparison to $1.42 Trillion 2009 short-fall and seem like nothing in comparison to the projected 2010 deficit of $1.75 Trillion. To put the Bush deficits into context, during his 8 years in office, Bush added $4.9 Trillion to the national debt. If you just take the past two years in to account, Obama has already added $3.17 Trillion. If left unchecked with a hypothetical returning Democrat majority for the next 2 years, Obama’s contribution to the national debt over 4 years in office would be an estimated $6.34 Trillion and likely more.

Debt and corruption were the GOP’s undoing in 2006 and 2008. Now, the Democrats are facing 4 times the debt and double the corruption. The current Treasury Secretary is a known tax cheat. The former Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee is as well as evidenced by his 13 ethics violations and pending criminal indictment (because we all know there is an indictment in the works). Another Democrat member of Congress faces an ethics battle. Pelosi has failed to “drain the swamp” and seems to have encouraged her members to seek out ways to exploit the earmark process.

Nancy Pelosi’s most ethical and most transparent Congress in history is about to fall flat under the weight of its ethics violations and shady back-room deals. Remember what she said about the Death Care bill?

“We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it.”

How about that transparency Nancy?

I won’t hold my breath waiting for her to answer.

Now Pelosi has another shell game in the works. As the school year is about to begin and the financially strapped states have less money to dole out for education, SanFran Nan and her band of miscreants are calling the House back into session in the middle of the August recess in order to pass “emergency” legislation totaling an additional $26 Billion in spending for teachers. Ask the question “why?” since nearly half of the American Robbery and Redistribution Act money is still unspent. After-all, wasn’t that supposed to fund police, firemen, and – umm, who else… that’s right – TEACHERS so they wouldn’t lose their jobs?

People this is nothing more than as cheap game of 3-card Monty. Chase the red queen but there is no queen on the table. It’s a ploy for votes and nothing more. The funds are already allocated to save teachers’ jobs if the Infestation wished to use it; but they don’t. They’d rather Pelosi do a little grand standing in order to buy some more votes and in the process increase the debt a little bit more in order to justify more tax increases in the future. You see if they use already appropriated funding to “save teaching jobs” it doesn’t make headlines. No headlines, no votes.

Before you go to vote on November 2nd remember a couple of very important items.

  • Obama promised that if the “stimulus” (aka the American Robbery and Redistribution Act) were passed unemployment wouldn’t go any higher than 8%. How’s that 9.5% unemployment feeling America? Or how about the estimated 17% – 24% underemployment for that matter?
  • Pelosi promised to drain the swamp and yet one Congressman has been sent to prison for taking bribes, and two more are under Ethics Committee investigations and expected to be expelled.
  • Democrats rode a wave of discontent over Republican deficits in 2006 and 2008 but the current budget deficit is 4 times higher.
  • And finally I want you to ask yourself a question…

  • Is your family better off today than you were in 2006?

OH.. before I go. I have a little misconception to clear up.

That surplus that all you Clintonian drones like to point to that Bush destroyed with his deficit spending… That was the brain child of a Republican. Rep. John Kasich of Ohio wrote the budget that created that surplus. Kasich is currently running for Governor of Ohio. And much to the dismay of Obama and Uncle Ted (Strickland), he’s leading in that race. And for the record… Uncle Ted rode that anti-GOP wave in 2006. Remember the quote at the top Uncle Ted.

UK Announces Plans To Decentralize Health Care System

Is The Emperor Listening?

Now that The Emperor has used a recess appointment to get his Health Care Czar, you know – the one that likes the UK’s health system, I wonder what is going through his mind as he reads that the UK is making plans to decentralize their system. According to several sources, the UK’s new Coalition government is in the process of making plans which they say will save an estimated $30 Billion a year in “efficiency savings” and reduce administrative costs by 45% by 2014. How do they plan on doing this? Decentralizing the National Health Care System and putting local General Practitioners in charge.

From the New York Times

Practical details of the plan are still sketchy. But its aim is clear: to shift control of England’s $160 billion annual health budget from a centralized bureaucracy to doctors at the local level. Under the plan, $100 billion to $125 billion a year would be meted out to general practitioners, who would use the money to buy services from hospitals and other health care providers.

The plan would also shrink the bureaucratic apparatus, in keeping with the government’s goal to effect $30 billion in “efficiency savings” in the health budget by 2014 and to reduce administrative costs by 45 percent. Tens of thousands of jobs would be lost because layers of bureaucracy would be abolished.

Yet another example of Europe moving to the right as Obama forces America to the left.

Leftist policies Do Not Work but the Moron in Chief is so stuck in a 1960′s neo-Socialist mentality that he is incapable of making the necessary adjustments as Europe seems to be willing to make. The Euro-Socialism that American leftists wish to emulate is in decline at a time when they are finally in a position to implement the failed policies which are drawing out the global economic crisis.

The window is shifting America and we are all about to get caught as the sash comes crashing down. The way it generally works is the left demands outrageous leaps to the left which can’t get passed because the right blocks them. So they compromise and take a slight movement to the left instead. But since the beginning to this Infestation, aided by the leftist majorities in both houses of Congress, those giant leaps have been made in spite of the will of the American people. Poll after poll shows the public’s resistance to the measures put forward by this President and this Congress but they get their entire wish list anyway.

They have abandoned their gentle nudging in favor of massive shoving and so far it’s worked because nothing could be done to stop them. However, November 4th is quickly approaching and many Democrats are going to be facing forced retirement because of the neo-Socialists’ [read also: Barry Obama, SanFran Nan, Dingy Harry et. al.] aggressive agenda. The major worry for Conservative AND Independent America is what the lame-duck Congress will attempt.

On their agenda in the event of a loss of their majority is…

  • Full implementation of Cap and Tax
  • Card Check
  • Tax Increases under the guise of balancing a budget that has yet to be passed and couldn’t be balanced if they did pass one. And no, you won’t be exempted because you earn less than $250k a year. They want to soak everybody.

My question is now and will also be in November and December, are the Republicans willing to put up enough of an opposition to stop it. It will take Every Single Republican to reject this. In the House, it will take some Democrats who are unwilling to play the role of a petulant child.

The American people have been speaking LOUDLY and the Democrat Congress has had their hearing aids turned off. They erroneously stand by the notion that what they have done was what the people wanted. If there were ever a reason to never put Democrats in a position of power – this President and this Congress is that reason.

So to answer my initial question…

NO, he isn’t listening. He’s the Obamassiah. He knows all and sees all. His is the only vision for the future. Too bad it leads to conditions similar to those experienced by Detective Thorn in ‘Soylent Green‘ or Winston Smith in ‘1984‘.

As I keep saying…

You cannot legislate Universal Prosperity; but you can legislate Universal Poverty.
You cannot legislate Universal Health; but you can legislate Universal Sickness.
You cannot legislate Universal Happiness; but you can legislate Universal Despair.

It is my belief that the left knows and understands these three simple truths and that is why they deliberately leading this nation into a condition of Universal Poverty, Sickness, and Despair.

Obama’s Imperial Power Grab – The Internet Killswitch

I have taken some heat both on here and in my private communications from others who do not appreciate my references to Barrack Hussein Obama as “The Emperor”. Personally, it started out as a humorous mocking of our 44th President; however, as more and more of his agenda is brought to light, it is obvious that Imperial power is what he craves. What’s worse is the fact that many on the uber-left approve of this systematic deletion of American freedoms as they encourage BHO to “act like a dictator”.

The words of Ed Schultz shouldn’t come to any surprise to anyone who has kept an eye on the Obama Infestation since before they took power. His most trusted “advisor”, Valerie Jarrett laid it all out to Tom Brokaw before he assumed power on January 20, 2009 by saying that Obama was getting prepared to “rule on day 1.”.

Obama, like all other Progressives (see also neo-socialists) who have assumed the power of the American Presidency, is looking to expand executive power beyond what the founders intended. What gets me is when Conservatives are in power, the left always looks to curtail executive power. For instance, the Bush years.

Now that their man Hussein is in power, the executive power grab is on a feeding frenzy. What makes it worse is that Congress in voluntarily surrendering power to the Chief Executive. The Porkulus (see also the American Robbery and Redistribution Act of 2009), the Omnibus, Cash for Clunkers, GM Bailout, Chrysler Bailout, Death Care, and Cap and Tax were all forwarded by a very compliant Congress[1].

Question: Why would Congress be so willing to surrender so much power?

Answer: Because the neo-socialists controlling both Houses of Congress (see also Democrats) were banking on completion of the agenda before losing Congress to Republicans.

If they gave their man enough power to stave off a Republican Congress before they lost control, there would be little the Republicans can do to reverse what has been done. This is the only explanation for the cautious care taken to insure that all these key votes happened after the business day or on weekends. It was a planned effort to subvert the input of the American people. They understood going in that if the American people get engaged, we can defeat anything on their agenda. Their answer was to drop bills into the hopper at 2am and vote on them before you had a chance to know what was in the changes.

But now we have a subcommittee of the United States Senate looking to grant Obama emergency powers to shut down the internet under the auspices of protecting the nation’s computer systems in the event of a cyber attack. We’ve seen what happens when one of his generals criticizes him, what would happen to people critical of the President and our ability to voice our distrust of him once this crap becomes law?

People when are you going to wise up and understand that Progressivism isn’t anything close to what they want you to believe it is? Their name says it all. Progressive. What do they want to progress towards? The answer is Socialism. George Orwell wrote in ’1984′ that the true goal of socialism is to advance toward a dictatorship. Ironically, Orwell was a Socialist. As I close this installment, let me remind you what the 45 goals of the Communist Party in the United States are as they were written into the Congressional Record on January 10, 1963. They have not changed. What’s worse, they’ve been advanced. Ask yourself, by whom?

Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record
Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

Editor’s Note: - Prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall, this goal had been achieved. The fall of the Berlin wall combined with democratic reforms that followed in the former East Germany, Germany is now a unified and Democratic nation much to the dismay of Communists world wide.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus. - Attempted

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat]. - Attempted

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal. - Returned to Panamanian Control

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike. - Attempted

Achieved or Attemted

[Note: It was my intent to highlight only those aspects of these goals which have been achieved or attempted. Looking at the list, it seems that the goals are near completion.]

Anyone care to debate the Obama agenda now?

ObamaCare Promises Proven To Be Lies -


Anyone besides ME see this coming?

The answer to my question is of course people saw this coming. That is why over 70% of the people wanted ObamaCare to fail. It was the obvious lie that the Emperor was telling that created the TEA Parties.

“If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.” – President Barrack Hussein Obama – aka The Emperor.

This was a lie perpetuated by the left-wing Main Stream Media and his Ministry of Information and Mandatory Opinion (aka MSNoBodyCares). They continually were shouting into the rain that you can keep your health insurance and you can keep your doctor. Well guess what – it’s not so.

According to a report that appears in the Investors Business Daily -

Internal administration documents reveal that up to 51% of employers may have to relinquish their current health care coverage because of ObamaCare.

Small firms will be even likelier to lose existing plans.

The “midrange estimate is that 66% of small employer plans and 45% of large employer plans will relinquish their grandfathered status by the end of 2013,” according to the document.

In the worst-case scenario, 69% of employers — 80% of smaller firms — would lose that status, exposing them to far more provisions under the new health law.

The 83-page document, a joint project of the departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and the IRS, examines the effects that ObamaCare’s regulations would have on existing, or “grandfathered,” employer-based health care plans. [1]

So, would you like to try to sell that lie again Barry?

I got called out a few weeks ago for linking something in Facebook about Obamaramadingdong. My FB friend questioned the legitimacy of calling him “The Emperor”. I’m sorry, but governing by fiat and slipping through legislation in the middle of the night isn’t what I call democratic.

The truth is Democrats are anything but. They are neo-socialists who are clinging to their 1960′s dream of a Social Utopia where everything is free and war does not exist. They are dangerous and need to be defeated. Our only chance at avoiding the impending destruction that is being ushered in by these idiots is for the American people to ban together and defeat them in November.

The Left’s Continued Use of BDS Shows It’s Disconnect With Reality

Here we are 503 days into the Obama Infestation and the left is still beating the “it’s Bush and Cheney’s fault” narrative like a dead horse. I mean, when will the time come when every calamity becomes Barack Hussein Obama’s fault? He’s the guy at the top and has been for the past 503 days. According to the Infestation and their drones in the Main Stream Media, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are responsible for everything. I’m waiting for the Emperor’s handlers to blame Bush and Cheney for the 1932 kidnapping and murder of “the Lindbergh baby” or the 1975 disappearance of James P. “Jimmy” Hoffa.

The truth of the matter is Mr. Obama wanted to sit in the big chair but neither he nor his fawning fans in the MSM really want any of the responsibility of the office to fall on him. There comes a time in every man’s (woman’s) life when he is responsible for what he does. For most of us that is the day we become men (women). Looks like the child “President” refuses to face the reality that he IS the man and he IS responsible.

Obama reminds me of the bad seed child who destroys the house and stands in front of his parents and says – it wasn’t me. It’s time for him to grow up.

AZ Immigration Law Opposition Ignorant of It

Over the past week or so, a steady stream of news accounts documenting the Infestation’s complete ignorance to the Arizona Immigration Law speaks volumes about what this President and his people think of the rest of America. Their seemingly uniform opposition and condemnation of a law that none of them have even bothered to read is the epitome of arrogance.

A pattern is emerging about this President and his people that is rather unflattering to say the least. From the time when he unilaterally condemned the Cambridge Police for acting “stupidly” in the Henry Louis Gates dust-up, Mr. Obama set the narrative for his reign as Commander-in-Chief. “Take your ques from the Huffington Post, the Daily KOS, Keith Olbermann, and Chris Matthews, never mind the truth just get a statement out. We’ll worry about altering the public perception of what is true later.” [note: links omitted intentionally]

Yes, I accuse this Infestation of attempting to alter the perception of truth. Like the fictional “Oceania” in George Orwell’s ‘Nineteen-Eighty-Four’, this President and his Infestation thinks it can alter your perception of the facts by changing the language and skewing the narrative; and they have become frustrated when they meet opposition to their shell game.

Last Thursday we learned that Attorney General Eric Holder never read the Arizona Immigration Law prior to his statements condemning it. In the past few days, we have learned that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano hasn’t read it either even though she says that she wouldn’t have signed it. We also find out that at least one key member of the State Department also hasn’t read the law [see video]. This revelation comes after the Emperor apologized to China for our “human rights violations” due to its passage.

The following is a video of Assistant Secretary of State P.J. Crowley admitting that he hasn’t read the Arizona law but the law will lead to racial profiling. How can he say that if he hasn’t read it? H/T: Breitbart.tv

This President and his Infestation aren’t concerned with the truth, they’ll tell you what the truth is. At least that is their attitude. Your resistance, however, confuses them. “How dare you not believe them! How dare you believe the opposition to Obama’s Progressive “fundamental” destruction of America!”

The T.E.A. Party is growing and, dare I say, includes people who actually voted for Obama. People are realizing that the intoxicating affects of Obamania have worn off and it has left the mother of all hangovers behind. Unemployment numbers are unacceptably high. The deficit has quadrupled in a single year. The National Debt is unsustainable. But never mind all that! Our prodigal President’s answer to everything is to not only continue to spend more money and raise taxes, but to create new taxes as well.

Obama, his Infestation, and their surrogates in this real life “Ministry of Truth” (aka: the main stream media) are forced to oppose anything that becomes an impediment to the legalization of millions of new Democrat voters. That’s right. Their opposition to the Arizona law is all about votes in 2012 nothing more. That is why they don’t need to bother to read the Arizona Law. They will just oppose it on its face because it is a problem for Obama in 2012.
