Iran slams Obama government at U.N.

Obama said this wasn't going to happen after HE became President.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Iran went on the offensive against the Obama administration on Thursday, accusing Washington's new U.N. ambassador of making the "same tired" accusations against Iran as the Bush administration.

In a speech to the Security Council during a session on Iraq, U.S. envoy Susan Rice reiterated charges of Iranian support for terrorism and attempts to develop nuclear weapons, saying the United States sought an end to both policies.

"It is unfortunate that, yet again, we are hearing the same tired, unwarranted and groundless allegations that used to be unjustifiably and futilely repeated by the previous administration," Iran's envoy Mohammad Khazaee said in a letter to the council's president, Japanese Ambassador Yukio Takasu.

Obama Declares War on Investors, Entrepreneurs, Businesses, And More

Larry Kudlow (host of CNBC’s "Kudlow & Company," which airs weeknights at 7 p.m. ET): Noteworthy up here on Wall Street, a great many Obama supporters — especially hedge-fund types who voted for “change” — are becoming disillusioned with the performances of Obama and Treasury man Geithner. There is a growing sense of buyer’s remorse.

Let me be very clear on the economics of President Obama's State of the Union speech and his budget. He is declaring war on investors, entrepreneurs, small businesses, large corporations, and private-equity and venture-capital funds.

Major General says president's eligibility needs proof
'Most important, what I really want is the truth'

In a world in which monetary adjustments do not appear effective, can tax and spending policies pull us out of the slump?

Excerpts:

The track record is discouraging...Not only was the stimulative effect of Great Depression fiscal policy non-existent, but follow-on efforts during the ten subsequent recessions proved equally ineffective. As a result of that hard-won experience, the consensus until recently among economists was that attempts at stimulus through emergency fiscal policies—as opposed to monetary policies and the automatic effects of increases in unemployment assistance and decreases in tax payments—were useless at best...stimulus may be precisely the wrong metaphor. Rather than getting jazzed up, we need to be calmed down and to take the time to learn from the Great Depression, a time when government did too much, not too little.

Obama making enemies abroad

The inexperienced, amateur head of the CIA Leon Panetta (an old Clinton retread) is busy destroying relations in Argentina. And yes, it is Obama's fault because he appointed him and because the buck stops with him. (In fact, with his horrible and complete lack of knowledge in history and economics, the buck is, in fact, really just stopping period because of Obama).

Panetta insults Argentina

More and more in our military are joining in the lawsuit to prove Obama's eligibility

Dr Taitz,


Please insure that I filled out the consent form properly, and let me know in any way that I can assist. I am still in the process of leaving the Active Reserve, and dropping to Inactive Reserve Status. I started this before Mr Obama was sworn in because I could not in good faith defend the Constitution and serve under him at the same time. My goal is to return to serving our country in the military, but cannot do so while he is occupying the Oval Office. It was apparent that the only way i could trully keep my oath was to join the battle on the civilian side within our own borders. I would like to offer any assistance I can, and will remain at our Country's service until our Constitution is restored.

I read it FOUR TIMES in the 1960's...now, sales of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged have tripled!!!

Find out why here.

Take everything they [you] earn, and it still won't be enough.

The bottom line is that Mr. Obama is selling the country on a 2% illusion. Unwinding the U.S. commitment in Iraq and allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire can't possibly pay for his agenda. Taxes on the not-so-rich will need to rise as well...Mr. Obama is very good at portraying his agenda as nothing more than center-left pragmatism. But pragmatists don't ignore the data. And the reality is that the only way to pay for Mr. Obama's ambitions is to reach ever deeper into the pockets of the American middle class.

Excerpt from the EXCELLENT "Fear of Power vs Fear of Powerlessness"

Where traditionally people were afraid being powerless, today the citizens of the civilized world are taught to be afraid of having power.

The havoc this has wreaked on the ability of civilized countries to defend themselves can be seen everywhere. Traditionally a country defends itself against internal or external attack. Today however a civilized country is the first to be blamed for an attack, and then blamed for defending itself excessively, and finally is blamed for provoking the attack. The only solution offered is appeasement, which never actually deals with the threat, and empowers the enemy.

The core of the problem lies in the intellectual and cultural dominance of liberalism and the various left wing political strains, which have as their common denominator the idea that the country and its social system are oppressive and must be reformed.

As self-identified reformers, liberals identify attempts to conserve the system which they have identified as oppressive, as inherently oppressive. Therefore they identify conservatism with oppression and personally identify far more with "outsiders", including enemies, than with "insiders" who are their fellow citizens.

The monochromatic progressive worldview causes them to presume that power in the hands of someone equally progressive, or more progressive than them, is never being abused, since it is in the hands of a "reformer". While power in the hands of someone more conservative is naturally being abused, because it is in the hands of a "reactionary" which enables the current oppressive system.

Liberals do not define oppression in terms of prison camps, political repression or mass executions. They define it by how far a country is along the Conservative-Progressive axis. The more progressive a country is, to a liberal it is by definition less oppressive. By contrast a more conservative country is by liberal definitions more oppressive.

This explains why liberals can claim that Castro's Cuba is an oasis of freedom, while Bush's America was a brutal tyranny. Liberal definitions of tyranny have nothing to do with freedom of speech or not being put in front of a firing squad for criticizing the government. The only honest liberal barometer of tyranny is how conservative is the government.

Liberals then do not fear power, they fear power in someone else's hands. While liberals preach the gospel of non-violence, and warn against the use of power, they rarely ever mean it. Liberals willingly accept the use and abuse of power by a leader equally or more progressive than themselves.I

Democrats did not have a problem with Clinton bombing the hell out of Serbia. The press which went stark raving mad at the Abu Ghaib detainees wearing women's underwear on their heads, had nothing to say when a commuter train and the Chinese Embassy were bombed.

Liberals protested any US action against Nazi Germany, up until the USSR went to war with Nazi Germany. Then the protests turned into denunciations of the US for not joining the fight. Trotskyist labor unions that attempted to go on strike during the war were suppressed in the US by Liberals and Communists.

Of course if it was this simple, then Western countries with liberal governments could defend themselves against Islamic terrorism. But there are complications.

Possible Obama appointee say bin Laden is "a very honored name!"

Remember all the flap about Bush 43 flying the bin Ladens out of the country after 9/11? Well, Richard Clark ordered that and it was done AFTER airspace had been opened up again...but everyone needs to know what this man has done because it has implications that go WAY beyond what all those Bush-haters were screaming about. This is the second article I've posted on this topic because this one has even more very damaging information about this man (who, as the previous article mentioned, contributed to Obama's campaign).

Chas Freeman's proposed appointment to head the National Intelligence Council is already getting lots of scrutiny. A former Saudi lobbyist who did business with the Bin Laden group, Chas Freeman has naturally spewed more than his share of bile toward Israel, and toadying toward the Saudi kingdom.

After 9/11, Chas Freeman sought to do business with the Bin Laden group and responded to critics by saying that Bin Laden was still “a very honored name in the kingdom [of Saudi Arabia]".

...but wait, there's more!

Why pay taxes? It's not as if you're going to be Treasury Secretary someday!

Democrats Halted Recovery, Derailed Economy Last Summer

...the terrible triumvirate of Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Harry Reid insisted on starving the economy of energy, and persisted with proposals for jaw-dropping tax increases on the most productive. Finally, their party’s decades-long romance with lending mortgage money to unqualified borrowers came to a head at the “worst” possible time — for the nation, not for them — with the multibillion-dollar implosions at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, followed by the spread of the wreckage to other financial institutions.

America: much less well off than when Obama started campaigning!

The stark truth is that America is much less well off than when Obama started his run for the presidency. The country has less wealth and, consequently, fewer options. Annual government spending had already ballooned under Bush to ­$2 trillion and then $3 trillion. That was before the government started spending freely to bail out banks and businesses.

That’s why it’s so unnerving to hear Obama describe his economic plans as a break from the Bush administration’s. The spending is targeted differently, but it is essentially the same approach to America’s economic woes: Spend, spend, spend, and worry about it later, if at all.

Republicans have their faults, but they seem to have finally figured out that that’s the wrong approach to the nation’s economic problems. Hopefully Obama will, too. The country can ill afford another trillion-dollar mistake.

Obama shouldn't do it his way

Get ready to pay 90% in taxes!

To all the people who voted for Obama: thanks a lot.

A Welfare Poem

I cross ocean,
poor and broke,
Take a bus,
see employment folk.

Nice man treat me
good in there,
Say I need to
get welfare.

Welfare say,
"You come no more,
We send cash
right to your door."

Welfare checks,
they make you wealthy,
Medicaid, it keep
you healthy!

By and by,
I get my money,
Thanks to you,
American dummy.

Write to friends
in Motherland,
Tell them "come
fast as you can."

They come in turbans
and Ford trucks,
I buy big house
with welfare bucks.

They come here,
we live together,
More welfare checks,
gets better and better!

Fourteen families,
they move in,
But neighbor's patience
wearing thin.

Finally white guy
moves away,
Now I buy his house,
and say,
"Find more aliens
for house to rent."
And in the yard
I put a tent.

Send for family
they just trash,
But they, too,
draw the welfare cash!
Everything is
very good,
And soon we
own the neighborhood.

We have hobby
it's called breeding,
Welfare pay
for baby feeding.

Kid's need dentist?
Wife's need pills?
We get free!
We got no bills!

Americans crazy!
Pay all year,
Just to keep that
Welfare here!

We think America
darn good place!
Too darn good for
the white man race.
If they no like us,
they can scram,
Got lots of room in Pakistan.

Just good old-fashioned Chicago thugs

Rush fleshed out thugacity last November:

We finally found out last week the root of the word thug: a bunch of renegade robbers and murderers in India known as the Thuggees. They would befriend people traversing the countryside. They would walk with them, offer to help them (this goes back to the seventeen, 1800s) and they'd befriend them and make them think they were allies and help them in any danger -- and after they'd befriended them while the Thuggees would rob them and murder them and rape them and so forth, and move on down to the next unsuspecting bunch of people. So the Thuggees -- it's thug with two E's on the end, the Thuggees -- actually forms the root word and the origin of the word thug. I don't like admitting to copying people, but I must tell you I got this from Clinton during the primaries.

But Riehl World View pins it down hard for all of us here in Obamaland: it demeans the office and raises serious concerns as to whether these people can be trusted with the power they now have. Joe the Plumber and Rick Santelli are our modern day heroes who will, if you let them, lead us out of the darkness.

Obama dear, don't piss the Swiss!

I thought you were supposed to make everybody like us!

ZURICH, Feb 21 (Reuters) - The right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP) called on Saturday for retaliation against the United States over a U.S. tax probe into the country's biggest bank UBS that threatens prized banking secrecy.

The populist SVP, the country's biggest party, said Switzerland should not take in any detainees from the U.S. prison for terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, which the Swiss government said last month it could consider to help shut the camp down.

Switzerland should also reconsider its policy of representing the United States in countries where it has no diplomatic presence, the parliamentary SVP said in a statement.

The SVP said gold stored by the Swiss National Bank in the United States should be repatriated and Switzerland should ban the sale of U.S. funds in the country to protect Swiss investors after the failure of U.S. regulators.

Where is John Galt?

So, after Obama gets through running the deficit WAYYYYYYY up (against the advice of hundreds of economists who went to the trouble of taking out full page ads in major newspapers to protest), he has now created a big excuse to tax those mean old rich people (God forbid anyone should be rich or successful).

And he has magically created, finally, a reason to cut the military budget!

To all the idiots who elected this disaster, I hope it's YOUR families that get it when the attacks start coming WHICH THEY MOST DEFINITELY WILL.

Obama is either the biggest 'useful idiot' ever seen on this planet or he is complicit...and I'm not sure which one it is.

Obama to Unveil an Ambitious Budget Plan

By Lori Montgomery and Ceci Connolly
Washington Post Staff Writers
Saturday, February 21, 2009; 3:00 PM

President Obama is putting the finishing touches on an ambitious first budget that seeks to cut the federal deficit in half over the next four years, primarily by raising taxes on business and the wealthy and by slashing spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, administration officials said.

In addition to tackling a deficit swollen by the $787 billion stimulus package and other efforts to ease the nation's economic crisis, the budget blueprint will press aggressively for progress on the domestic agenda Obama outlined during the presidential campaign. This would include key changes to environmental policies and a major expansion of health coverage that Obama hopes to enact later this year.

2/17/09: For Immediate Release

BBC - the oldest and largest broadcasting company from Great Britain -- just recorded an interview with me [Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq] in regards to Obama ineligibility cases. It will be transmitted in their Russian edition tomorrow, prime time 7-8pm Moscow time, 4-5PM London time. They feel it is the case of the Century and were amazed, as to why US media doesn't report it. I explained that in my opinion most of US media is in the hands of a few members of US oligarchy that find Obama convenient for their purposes and refuse to report on his total illegitimacy for presidency. I have explained to the interviewer, Seva Novgorodski, that US President has to be a Natural born citizen, meaning being a child of two US citizen parents and born in the country. Obama does not qualify for several reasons:

1. His father was here on a student visa and was never a US citizen

2. HI statue 338 allows foreign born children of HI residents to obtain HI certification of life birth. Short version COLB that Obama posted on the Internet is a worthless peace of paper, since it does not show any corroborating evidence, such as name of the hospital and name and signature of a doctor that should be on the actual birth certificate. Obama refuses to release his original BC from HI and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on attorneys to file motions to keep them sealed. His attorneys have been threatening, harassing and intimidated us with sanctions for mere requesting the records. This behavior can be explained only by the fact that the original birth certificate shows him ineligible.

3. When Obama immigrated to Indonesia, he lost his US citizenship, while getting Indonesian Citizenship, since Indonesia does not allow dual citizenship. Obama reaffirmed his Indonesian citizenship and therefore relinquished his US citizenship yet again (if he ever had it) as an adult, while studying at Occidental College and traveling to Pakistan.

The interviewer has asked if I am not afraid to go against such a mountain and so much money. I have stated that nothing can be achieved by virtue of fear and I am more concerned about a prospect of Obama being allowed to continue to stay in the White House Illegally, in that all the orders and bills and international treaties signed by him will be illegal. I also stated that in my opinion this is a giant on legs of clay, since his rise was achieved by massive voter fraud during primaries and general elections and US media providing one sided reporting.

They wished me luck and stated that they are fascinated by the case and asked to come back on the program, when there are new developments.

Obama the Lovable War Monger

Wow! Obama's sending all those troops to fight!!! (Seventeen thousand of 'em!)

Oh, wait. He promised everybody he wasn't going to be like George W. Bush!

But hey: It's not Iraq. (That makes ALL the difference!)

In fact, Obama said he was going to INVADE Pakistan last year.

Hey, wait!

Are 17,000 troops enough to actually INVADE a country???

Hmmmm.

Oh well, I guess Obama is just taking the advice of his generals.

Oh, wait!

It was just in the news this week that he ISN'T taking their advice!

...oh, that's right: He isn't taking their advice about IRAQ, but he IS taking their advice about Pakistan.

Oh wow...

This is all S-O-O-O-O confusing to little old me!

Better leave it to the experienced people, like Obama.

Oh, wait!

Obama was only a Community Organizer for three years and he quit because nothing he tried was working and he got discouraged and he told all his friends he was going to quit.

Hmmmmmmm.

But wait!

William Ayers gave him over million dollars to fix Chicago Schools (The Annenburg Challenge) so that was a big responsibility, right???

Oh...but the Annenburg Challenge report issued several years ago said that none of his efforts worked and...

Oh never mind.

Obama OKs about 17,000 more troops for Afghanistan

Fast and furious

No one, it seems (including me) can keep up with the ever growing list of ethics problems and tax fraud in the Democrat Party...or, for that matter with the ever growing list of highly questionnable foreign policy moves they've been making since their Messiah took over our government.

Here's two more of those items from Gateway Pundit:

Obama removes Sanctions On Murderous Myanmar Regime

and

US Rep. Carnahan (D-MO) Sued For Not Paying Roofers

Today

Today President Obama said that the stimulus is a carefully drawn, fiscally responsible bill...

But consider what is in the final legislation:

Billions in outright pork and wasteful spending:
$300 million for buying cars for federal bureaucrats;$3.7 billion for something called “green research” on military bases;$50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts; $2 billion for “neighborhood stabilization” to radical groups like ACORN;$1.3 billion for Amtrak; $10 million for"urban canals"(I'm not making this up); etc.

The Road to Government Run Health Care
$1.1 billion for “comparative effectiveness research” that will establish a federal government board to begin rationing health care by having bureaucrats deciding which medical treatments will be appropriate for which Americans.(Page 52 of final conference report)

Overturning the Historic Welfare Reform of 1996
$264 billion for direct welfare payments while overturning the historic welfare reform of 1996.The Pelos\Reid\Obama bill will reward states with federal welfare funds based on the number of people they put on their welfare rolls – a perverse incentive that will in effect give states “bonuses” for adding more people to welfare rolls AND work requirements are ignored in this legislation.

$53.6 billion for a "state stabilization fund" otherwise known as a slush fund
This massive infusion of our tax dollars is designed to alleviate the need for genuine budget reform and cutting at the state level.

So, when you hear folks saying this Pelosi\Reid\Obama "stimulus" bill was a "compromise" that cut waste to the bone while focusing only on "shovel ready" priorities, call them on it!

RAHM'S 'RENT' IS JUST THE TIP OF ETHICS ICEBERG
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
February 17, 2009

NEWS broke last week that Rahm Emanuel, now White House chief of staff, lived rent- free for years in the home of Rep. Rosa De Lauro (D-Conn.) - and failed to disclose the gift, as congressional ethics rules mandate. But this is only the tip of Emanuel's previously undislosed ethics problems.

The delicacy of the rhetorical pirouette Obama needs to make was underscored Tuesday by more objective indicators that the economy remains in serious distress...If stuff hasn’t worked and people don’t feel like I’ve led the country in the right direction, then you’ll have a new president,” he told an audience in Florida last week.

Seniors get screwed!

The Washington Post reports:

Elderly Hardest Hit

[Tom] Daschle (D) says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.

Medicare now pays for treatments deemed safe and effective. The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost- effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council (464).

The Federal Council is modeled after a U.K. board discussed in Daschle’s book. This board approves or rejects treatments using a formula that divides the cost of the treatment by the number of years the patient is likely to benefit. Treatments for younger patients are more often approved than treatments for diseases that affect the elderly, such as osteoporosis.

In 2006, a U.K. health board decreed that elderly patients with macular degeneration had to wait until they went blind in one eye before they could get a costly new drug to save the other eye. It took almost three years of public protests before the board reversed its decision.

H/T: CITIZEN WELLS

Welcome to the circus

Who would have thought the missing player in the first month of the administration would be Barack Obama? He let his signature economic legislation, the stimulus, be shaped by congressional Democrats. He let internal disputes over the difficult question of how to save the banking system result in a disastrous non-announcement of a non-plan by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner last week. Before that, he let Geithner become Treasury secretary after cheating on his income taxes, and waived his own ethics rules to appoint a lobbyist as deputy secretary of defense--undercutting his promises to clean up Washington. He allowed Rahm Emanuel to politicize the Census Bureau, losing as a result his commerce secretary-designee, Judd Gregg, an ornament of his professed hope for bipartisanship.

In foreign policy, Obama has exerted no more control. He allowed both Super-Special Pooh-bah Richard Holbrooke and National Security Adviser Jim Jones to give interviews to the New York Times and the Washington Post, respectively, touting their own importance and presenting the president as a distant player in the formulation of foreign policy. Meanwhile, turf wars in the State Department and the National Security Council are even more bitterly fought than usual. The tale of Holbrooke shouting at Undersecretary of State Bill Burns that he'll keep Burns waiting as long as he wants, since he (allegedly) outranks Burns, makes the Rumsfeld-Powell drama look tame.

Omid and Change

To The Point News reports:

Last week (2/03), Iran launched a communications satellite named "Omid" (Hope in Farsi) into low-earth orbit. The Wall Street Journal subsequently ran an op-ed by Michael Ledeen, who explained that the mullahs will use the satellite to broadcast to the world that the Last Days are coming and the Mahdi (Shia Islam's Messiah) is soon to arrive.

You evah watched a rookie play pro?

Here's yo chance:

For Mr. Obama, the national debt has become a pressing dilemma. If he transitions too quickly from priming the economy with money to pulling back for the sake of fiscal rectitude, the president risks choking off whatever economic recovery he might spark in the next year. Ms. Romer points to the seesaw nature of the New Deal, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt would spend big one year and then back away the next, never allowing the economy really to get traction.

But if the administration waits too long to address the deficit, long-term interest rates may have to rise to attract buyers for all those Treasury bonds. That too could send the economy back into recession.

President Obama: Half Right

President Obama, a smart man, says that tax cuts for the wealthy are the main reason we're now in such economic trouble. Someone needs to tell him how utterly — and dangerously — wrong that is.

"We have tried that strategy time and time again," the president said Monday of "tax cuts for the wealthiest few Americans," and "it's only helped lead us to the crisis we face right now."

Well, he's half-right: We have tried it again and again. But rather than create crises, economic growth has been restored. The evidence is pretty much beyond dispute.

The mess gets messier

Anyone trying to understand why the credit mess keeps getting messier needs only to have sat through Wednesday's hearing of the House Financial Services Committee. The eight bank CEOs were mere props. The stars were the politicians, who managed to demand more loans for consumers while simultaneously giving lenders new cause to wonder if they'll ever be repaid. This gathering of the esteemed Committee on Doubt and Uncertainty occurred as markets desperately need less of both.

Obama: What we know

Let's review some of Barack Obama's most recent actions since he was inaugurated on January 20th:

* His first call to any head of state as president was to Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah party in the Palestinian territory.

* His first one-on-one interview with any news organization was with Al Arabia television.

* He ordered Guantanamo Bay closed and all military trials of detainees halted.

* He ordered all overseas CIA interrogation centers closed.

* He withdrew all charges against the masterminds behind the USS Cole and 9/11 Attacks.

* He is allowing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refuges to move to, and live in, the US, at American taxpayer's expense.

* He is opening up travel to Cuba

* He is reducing the military budget by 10%

* He is dropping sanctions on Syria

* He is dropping sanctions on Iran

America's on life support in the ER

This mockery of freedom that Obama and the Democrats have shoved down our throats has passed and will be signed into law on Monday by the president.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, the cost of servicing the bill's nearly trillion-dollar debt will shrink the economy within a decade.

Our only hope is to try and turn this sinking ship around in 2010. (Remember, only 3 Republicans voted for this albatross.) Please scroll down this blog a little ways and look at the section called "Join The Resistance!" (And, please do!)

America Has Already Paid Reparations

by Dick McDonald
www.riseupamerica.us

On this day of remembrance of Abraham Lincoln – the REPUBLICAN that freed the slaves – we should abide by his warning:

You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's incentive and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do themselves.

IF we follow his advice we will destroy socialism and retain a free market capitalist system. The dependency state Obama is building is just another form of totalitarianism – a totally criminal enterprise.

If, as he has hinted, whites owe Blacks, and if he pushes for reparations, tell that no-good socialist that America has already paid its reparations: One white American died in the Civil War for every 5 black slaves free. Got that? One white American – not some enemy combatant – died for every 5 slaves.

That should be reparations enough.

Sen. Feinstein accidentally leaks damaging classified military information

FROM THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: Sen. Feinstein's surprise disclosure likely to complicate joint campaign against Taliban militants

WASHINGTON, D.C. - A senior U.S. lawmaker said Thursday that unmanned CIA Predator aircraft operating in Pakistan are flown from an airbase inside that country, a revelation likely to embarrass the Pakistani government and complicate its counterterrorism collaboration with the United States.

Commerce Department unilaterally lifts some sanctions against Syria

President Obama will soon be singing this song, I am very certain.

What kind of a fool gives something away without getting anything in return? We are dropping some sanctions against Syria not because of any change in the regime or any indication at all that they have changed their behavior but because, frankly, the appeasers in the State Department are so anxious to prove Bush wrong that they are willing to cater to terrorists.

You will recall Obama's inaugural speech where he said, "We will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."Well, Baby Assad still has his fist balled up and is likely to hit US ally Lebanon with it unless someone puts the fear of God in him.

Not likely with this crew - which is why when Lebanon holds elections in June, the chances are very good that the friends of Syria will be able to buy, cheat, and threaten enough votes to win and take power from the moderate pro-western government of Prime Minister Siniora.

The disaster this would represent would be incalculable. Iran and Hezb'allah with their very own base to strike out at Israel and US interests in the region A solid bloc of Lebanon, Iran, and Syria with access to the Med and presenting Israel with a huge strategic problem . And all because the silly, stupid, Obama state department thinks that "change" is more important than hard headed, realistic action.

President's attorneys file motion demanding birth, college records be withheld from public!

THE PRESIDENT DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH!!!

A high-powered team of Los Angeles attorneys representing President Obama in his effort to keep his birth certificate, college records and passport documents concealed from the public has suggested there should be "monetary sanctions" against a lawyer whose clients have brought a complaint alleging Obama doesn't qualify for the Oval Office under the Constitution's demand for a "natural born" citizen in that post.

Where there's smoke, there is most certianly fire...

Ahmadinejad is a necrophiliac!

Iran's Ahmadinejad 'ready' to talk with America. But despite their leader's message to Obama, Iranians at Tuesday's 30th anniversary rally continued to chant 'Death to America.'

Hmmmmm...the American Heritage Dictionary includes "Erotic attraction to or sexual contact with corpses" in its definition of "necrophilia."

So...they really, really want to talk. But they want him dead...

Hmmmmm!

Be that as it may, given the ridiculous things that have been going on in Washington in the last several weeks (ha ha) I am also wondering whether Obama was, himself, "Casual" or "Beginner" or "Advanced."

To help you understand what I mean, I am referring to the fact that Obama campaigned on his intentions to meet with Iran, even without preconditions! So...after Iran recently rejected an internationally-arranged meeting with the Obama Administration:

WASHINGTON -- The chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs tried to meet a top aide to Iran's supreme leader in mid-December but was rebuffed at the last minute, a snub that illustrates the challenges to dialogue with Tehran pushed by President Barack Obama.

...we are now left with Iran saying that It Is Open to Talks if U.S. Changes Policy

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that the Islamic republic is willing to negotiate with the U.S., but signaled that talks would be conditioned on a significant change in U.S. policy.

DUH!!!

This means that Obama has painted himself into the classic Rookie's Corner (and us with him, so sadly...at least I went kicking and screaming).

He either has to denounce Israel (i.e. diplomatically indicate that we won't be so one-sided anymore) or he has to give up (after only several weeks as the so-called President of the United States) his promise the 'change' the world (short-change it is what's really going on).

If he screws Israel, you can bet that he is (at best) a Muslim sympathizer and we will see the incrementally brutal changes that this brings to the world (watch FITNA before you open your mouth.)

PS: I ain't seen no dog yet...

Oprahtics

The danger of Oprah style politics is that it subverts democracy, and shifts the discussion away from the issues. When the public no longer has access to a debate on the issues, only a media blitz consisting of fluff pieces eagerly promoting one politician, there is no democracy. Only an Oprahocracy.

Obama and his backers have subverted American democracy, and have done their best to replace it with book clubs, magazine covers, and stories claiming that Michelle Obama shops just where ordinary "little people" like you do. And now trying to raid the bank accounts of a country already over 10 trillion in debt, to the tune of another trillion dollars, in order to reward the green corporate donors, political hacks and union goons who supported him-- Obama is robbing America blind, while the coverage continues to be about what cookies Michelle Obama supposedly likes to bake.

Obama Practices Oprah Style Politics

"I’m scared he doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

A surprising story from a pro-Obama Chicago bookstore

Two of the booksellers were talking as they set up for the book signing. Both were gay men of the Emo persuasion, the sort who pop over to Whole Foods for some kale and buffalo mozzerella for lunch, always remembering to bring their Earth-friendly, Gore-approved canvas sacks along with them. These are the exact same kinds of guys we see at Sidetrack, screaming and yelling and cursing the video screens whenever that bar shows anti-Palin video clips, and then in the next breathe, making a 180 from that hate, they lecture about America becoming a more humble and meeker “citizen of the world”. Needless to say, they wash all that kale and mozzerella down with big gulps of the purple Kool-Aid.

But, color us surprised, because these guys were ripping Obama’s Trillion Dollar Jockstrap of Stimulus to SHREDS.

They were more brutal than we are — and we’re some of the cattiest gays you’ll ever meet.

Obama's big, huge, monstrous tax cuts

Here's what you will get: You'll notice a whopping extra $13 a week around June which will fall to around $8 per week next January.

Plus, the stimulus contains some interesting healthcare plans...like, if you're fat you'll be charged more and if you're old, well, you just may not get much.

How The World Almost Came To An End At 2PM On September 18

UPDATE: ATLAS SHRUGS HAS A REALLY LONG POST ABOUT THIS HERE

Sunday, February 8, 2009
Posted by Tyler Durden at 12:56 PM

LiveLeak has caught a scary moment of previously undisclosed insight by Paul Kanjorski where he reveals some facts that have not been captured by the media previously. At 2 minutes and 20 seconds in the video below, Democratic Representative Kanjorski explains how the Federal Reserve told Congress members about a "tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the United States, to the tune of $550 billion dollars." According to Kanjorski, this electronic transfer occurred over the period of an hour or two. And it gets worse. Kanjorski paraphrases the following disclosure by Bernanke and Paulson:

On Thursday (Sept 18), at 11am the Federal Reserve noticed a tremendous draw-down of money market accounts in the U.S., to the tune of $550 billion was being drawn out in the matter of an hour or two. The Treasury opened up its window to help and pumped a $105 billion in the system and quickly realized that they could not stem the tide. We were having an electronic run on the banks. They decided to close the operation, close down the money accounts and announce a guarantee of $250,000 per account so there wouldn't be further panic out there.

If they had not done that, their estimation is that by 2pm that afternoon, $5.5 trillion would have been drawn out of the money market system of the U.S., would have collapsed the entire economy of the U.S., and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed. It would have been the end of our economic system and our political system as we know it.

We are no better off today than we were 3 months ago because we have a decrease in the equity positions of banks because other assets are going sour by the moment.

Interestingly, Kanjorski, and likely more and more Democrats, are starting to shift to the camp that more time is needed to make a correct decision this time (which may explain Geithner's decision to postpone the "bank-rescue" announcement by one day to Tuesday), instead of rushing into another half-baked plan. Very scary stuff.

Child abuse enabler added to Obama's roster of tax cheats

"Any founded allegation where an adult is hitting a child, hitting a student - they're going to be gone," Duncan said.

But that's not what happened under Duncan's watch. Of the 568 verified cases, only 24 led to termination. Records show one teacher who quote "battered students for several years" was simply given a "warning" by the Board of Education.

And another student was given "100 licks with a belt." The abuse was substantiated, but the records show the teacher was not terminated.

Why Obama’s new Tarp will fail to rescue the banks

Has Barack Obama’s presidency already failed?

Martin Wolf of The Financial Times in London wants to know!

Why then is the administration making what appears to be a blunder? It may be that it is hoping for the best. But it also seems it has set itself the wrong question. It has not asked what needs to be done to be sure of a solution. It has asked itself, instead, what is the best it can do given three arbitrary, self-imposed constraints: no nationalisation; no losses for bondholders; and no more money from Congress. Yet why does a new administration, confronting a huge crisis, not try to change the terms of debate? This timidity is depressing. Trying to make up for this mistake by imposing pettifogging conditions on assisted institutions is more likely to compound the error than to reduce it.

Some interesting charts and graphs here!

Obama lied about the stimulus!

Tuesday, February 10, 2009
What Consensus for the “Stimulus?” [Brian Riedl]

The Obama administration has claimed that virtually all economists support their approach to "stimulus" spending. This is patently untrue. Nobel Laureates Ed Prescott, James Buchanan, and Vernon Smith recently joined 200 other economists signing a letter opposing the legislation. Other notable economists critical of the stimulus package include Nobel Laureate Gary Becker, as well as Robert Barro, Greg Mankiw, Arthur Laffer, and Larry Lindsey. Martin Feldstein, who had been the only notable conservative economist loudly supporting the stimulus, has since changed his mind.

More liberal economists such as Alice Rivlin and Alan Blinder have also strongly criticized certain aspects of the spending bill.

Even President Obama's own economic advisers—who are leading the fight for the "stimulus" bill—previously criticized the bill's economic underpinnings.

Why Liberals Support Islamic Terrorism and Oppose Self-Defense Against It

This is an important article. The excerpt below reminds me of some comments I read yesterday about Polish geologist Piotr Stanczak whose beheading by Pakistani Islamic terrorists was so horrific that many news outlets refused to provide the video. Several people defended these monsters by saying they were just responding to actions of the West (i.e. the bombings--now by the Obama administration--that injured civilians...as if that was the intended goal of the military). So, believe it when you read the following because, if you read a lot of comments, you will see this attitude over and over again:

Why then do liberals prefer “Grievance based violence” to the right of self-defense?

The right of self-defense presumes a right inherent to the individual and the nation. Liberals routinely reject both individual and national rights in favor of group and class rights. Liberals are also biased against acts of rational self-interest, in favor of emotional expressions of outrage.

Where self-defense is often defined by liberals as a form of entitlement and class privilege. “Grievance based violence” by contrast is treated as a response to intolerable oppression, and an expression of the underclass rising up. Since in the liberal worldview, violence is divided into oppressive and revolutionary violence. Oppressive violence is a function of class privilege, where revolutionary violence is a form of revolutionary justice. So that in the liberal calculus, the middle class homeowner protecting his house from a mob, is practicing “oppressive violence”, while the mob is practicing “revolutionary justice”.

Understanding this is the most vital part of understanding liberal morality, or lack thereof. Class or group status, defines whether violence is legitimate or not, in the eyes of the liberal.

NEW YORK – As the Obama administration attempts to push through Congress a nearly $1 trillion deficit spending plan that is weighted heavily toward advancing typically Democratic-supported social welfare programs, a rebellion against the growing dominance of federal control is beginning to spread at the state level.

So far, eight states have introduced resolutions declaring state sovereignty under the Ninth and Tenth Amendment to the Constitution, including Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, Michigan, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Washington.

Analysts expect that in addition, another 20 states may see similar measures introduced this year, including Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Nevada, Maine and Pennsylvania.

Hugo Chávez's Jewish Problem

It is up to all of us who remember Hitler (no, not the pretend one the hate-Bushies foisted on everyone) and World War II and the Nazi extermination camps Chelmno, Auschwitz- Birkenau, Belzek, Sobibor, Treblinka, Majdanek, Stutthof and the rest (between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany established about 20,000 camps to imprison its many millions of victims) to understand this:

...there is something else, aside from simple anti-Americanism, at work in Chávez's foreign policy. He and his supporters are in the grip of another age-old obsession, albeit one with a few indigenous twists: an obsession, that is, with the supposedly excessive power of world Jewry, and in particular of Venezuela's few, prosperous, and increasingly imperiled Jews.

First, about that famous balanced budget everyone attributes to Bill Clinton (i.e. THE BLUE PILL):

While not defending the increase of the federal debt under President Bush, it's curious to see Clinton's record promoted as having generated a surplus. It never happened. There was never a surplus and the facts support that position. In fact, far from a $360 billion reduction in the national debt in FY1998-FY2000, there was an increase of $281 billion.

Verifying this is as simple as accessing the U.S. Treasury (see note about this link below) website where the national debt is updated daily and a history of the debt since January 1993 can be obtained.

"A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe."

-- President Obama, Feb. 4.

Catastrophe, mind you. So much for the president who in his inaugural address two weeks earlier declared "we have chosen hope over fear." Until, that is, you need fear to pass a bill.

And so much for the promise to banish the money changers and influence peddlers from the temple. An ostentatious executive order banning lobbyists was immediately followed by the nomination of at least a dozen current or former lobbyists to high position. Followed by a Treasury secretary who allegedly couldn't understand the payroll tax provisions in his 1040. Followed by Tom Daschle, who had to fall on his sword according to the new Washington rule that no Cabinet can have more than one tax delinquent.

Personal tax problems have tripped up three of President Obama's nominees for top administration jobs. Two nominees withdrew on Tuesday over tax issues, including Tom Daschle, Obama's choice head the Health and Human Services Department. The other withdrawal was chief performance officer nominee Nancy Killefer, who had a $947 tax lien filed against her in Washington four years ago for not paying unemployment compensation taxes for a household employee. She paid the debt less than six months later, District of Columbia records show.

They don’t mind the partisan fighting cause that’s what they are used to. In fact, they’re really good at it. And they’re a little bit worried about what a post-partisan future might look like. If members actually had to read the bills and figure out whether they are any good or not. We’re just told how to vote. We’re treated like mushrooms most of the time."

A lawyer's frightening true story about challenging Obama

Preface:

Leo Donofrio has been at the forefront of the fight to have President Obama and John McCain prove their eligibility to become President. Obama has resisted to the utmost, having among other things, hired teams of high priced attorneys to defeat… all on pure technicality and not merits… his having to prove he is a ‘Natural Born Citizen’ as the Constitution’s Article Two, Section One says he must be. Obama refuses to allow any proofs to surface that he is even a United States citizen in any way. Should Obama be an impostor, then everything he signs, from executive orders to congressionally passed laws, is null and void and we are as a country, in deep trouble. The consequences could be near fatal to the Republic. The following was excerpted from Donofrio’s post at citizenwells.wordpress.com of February 2, 2009.

THE FOLLOWING IS A TRUE STORY:

(Leo C. Donofrio, Esq. is currently admitted to practice law in New Jersey and in Federal District Court.)

On Nov. 3, 2008, I went to the Supreme Court of the United States to file my application for an emergency stay of the national election. I took a Greyhound bus from Baltimore to Washington, D.C. because I was afraid to use Amtrak where I would have had to present ID for a ticket. I took that bus to the Greyhound station in Washington DC and walked from there to Union Station.

I felt that my life was in danger because I knew that if I could get my case filed before 4:30PM, there was a chance, a remote but genuine chance, that if the SCOTUS rules were followed, my case could stop the general election. As you [may] know, the SCOTUS rules were not followed when a clerk tried to overrule the SCOTUS precedent from McCarthy v. Briscoe.

I had previoulsy felt the evil operate against my case in the NJ Appellate Division where I experienced sabotage I never thought possible. I felt the full force and power of the cult as it tried to stop my case from having proper procedural ground to move on to SCOTUS.

In the days leading up to Nov. 3, 2008… my cell phone and that of a family member were subjected to treachery that only somebody with serious power could have accomplished. Because of the dual attacks upon my sanity, I came to Washington D.C. with fear in my heart, but I was not about to stop. Nothing short of a bullet was going to stop me from filing that application on Nov. 3, 2008.

On the Greyhound bus to DC, I had made a plan to pay for a tourist trolley ticket to take me one stop from Union Station to SCOTUS. I figured I would be safer blending in with tourists rather than being alone.

Before leaving for DC the night before, I died my hair blond, shaved, put on rock and roll clothes and stuffed the copies of my application in a hole through the pockets of my jacket which hid the documents in my back.

I looked nothing like the attorney who had been in the Hughes Justice complex all week in New Jersey.

But I made one mistake.

I had my electronic passport in my sneaker. I walked into Union Station to purchase a $35 trolley ticket and probably set off an RFID tracker.

I waited outside of Union Station for the trolley. At approximately 2:45 PM, just after I had purchased my ticket inside the station, I was sitting next to a white homeless man with a grey beard in his 50’s. He had two shopping carts full of clothes, food, radio etc., apparently his life possessions. We were the only two people sitting on this stone circle just outside the station. Suddenly, the homeless man starts gibbering some kind of weird code. He sounded like this,

“Echo one four two seven, target is in the building, repeat target is in the building…”

Then he paused and I looked up and a big SUV had pulled up right next to us, and two BIG mofos in yellow gold shirts got out of the SUV, opened the back door and started putting on body armor and packing mega heat… all the while they are scouring the area for the “target”.

The homeless man is talking to them through a device in his battered shirtsleeve,

“No point in wasting time, I want to get paid for this, target is in the building… Ok, but I thought you might want to just get the target, repeat — target is in the building, target is in the building. Stop wasting time out here.”

He was mixing in code talk with things I could understand.

Finally, these Blackwater types in yellow who had no badges or official insignia head into Union Station carrying full weapons.

I’m having a heart attack. They looked straight at me at least twice but I looked like such a clown. If they were looking for the brown haired bearded intellectual looking lawyer guy who was in court that week there’s no way they would recognize me with shocking platinum hair in my face, a dayglo blue jacket, flared jeans and trainers.

I also had no visible paperwork with me. It was in the back of my jacket and my back was pressed against the stone circle.

When they entered Union Station, the homeless guy turns towards me and hits a button on his cell device and suddenly he’s on speakerphone. The conversation is between him and some woman wherein he’s trying to get confirmation that his payment has been credited to his account. He gives me a sly look, and with that my trolley comes.

I get on the trolley and open my tourist brochure to cover my face. Then I have to sit there for five excrutiating minutes while various people discuss with the driver whether they should take the tour tonight or tomorrow. Honestly folks, I thought right then and there, “Your life aint worth —-, Leo. You are a walking dead man.”

When I finally got to the steps of SCOTUS, I was prepared to have my head blown off walking up those steps. I was a —- mess. Seriously. The paranoia was so intense. I even asked for official protection.

I don’t know if they were just trying to scare me, really meant to take me down, or if it was all a coincidence. I’m sure there’s a video tape of it somewhere. This is 100% true.

After the case was filed, I was followed for weeks. I had choppers over my home every night for hours. It was the typical black helicopter story in spades. But my whole family witnessed the choppers night after night.

The cult knew my case was strong. And it eventually got on every major news network and brought the one issue they had kept silent to the forefront of the nation — the fact that Obama [is not a 'Natural Born Citizen'].

OK, so now he’s POTUS. Many people voted for him. The messiah vibe is an archetype people are prone to fall for. But Obama is not the Messiah.”

Leo has gotten out. He leaves what remains to citizens like us. His website is: http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com. You will find there useful information on the power of (federal) Grand Jury ‘Presentment’, which may be the way… perhaps the only way… to get to the bottom of our deepening Constitutional crisis now being buried by higher-ups.

President Obama: First Commander in Chief to ignore all his military advisors

Barry, who failed at the only two things he was ever in involved with (except for suing Citibank when he was with ACORN and for getting a bunch of fools to vote for him), is now very busy ignoring the advice of Generals David Petreaus and Ray Odierno, along with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

An Open Letter to the President

By Neville Chamberlain for the Neville Awards
Posted February 2, 2009

Neville Chamberlain
123 Socialist Utopia Ln.
Workers Paradise, CA 99999

Dear Mr. President:

As you have recently taken office I understand that you still have a number of positions available in your Cabinet.

I would like to be considered as a candidate for one of the remaining positions. I hope that being an old white male is not a disqualification or a disadvantage in these times (please don't tell Robert Reich that I wrote to you).

Here are my qualifications:

• I am an Ivy League educated lawyer (aren't we all?)
• My specialty is tax law and international relations.
• For the last 6 years I have failed to pay, forgot to pay, and/or ignored paying my full share of federal income taxes and social security payments.
• I accepted, for 3 years, a limousine service provided by one of my clients that drove me to and from my office. I did not realize or care that free services are considered income.
• I helped broker and/or ran four pay-to-play operations for the Democratic machines in Chicago (I think some of your staff may know the individuals involved)and in Los Angeles.
• I secured sweetheart mortgage deals for myself and prominent members of the House and Senate Finance committees.
• I also hired a nanny from Guatemala to look after my children but failed to include her unemployment taxes in my returns for the last 10 years.

It really doesn't matter which cabinet position I am considered for because I know that, within a year, some of your current Cabinet officers will have resigned/been indicted/shuffled to other cabinet positions. I am sure that each cabinet position is exciting and has it's own unique "opportunities" and interesting challenges.

I also have extensive experience in meeting with dictators and despots without pre-conditions. Perhaps when Hillary self-destructs I could be considered for Secretary of State.

I am sincerely sorry about these minor oversights and I know that you and the Senate Democrats will make endless excuses for me and say I am the only one who can this job...whichever one I am nominated for.

I intend to file amended tax returns as soon as I am aware that the vetting process has begun. By the way, can you use your influence with Treasury Sec. Geithner so I can avoid paying those annoying penalties? Thanks bro'.

Please know that I can do a great job for you now that being a tax scofflaw is the road to upward mobility in public service.

Kind regards,

Neville…former Prime Minister for the United Kingdom

He's shy, but he's smart

As I told you before, I am a member of SFVRC (San Fernando Valley Republican Club). We have a new member who is a financial analyst in the film industry and he was kind enought to add his two cents (as he put it) to a previous post (called "Signs").

I guess he was too shy to post his comment :-)

As you say the Nazi Party was definitely Socialist. NAZI in German is short for Nationalsozialistische deutsche Arbeiter-Partei or National Socialist German Workers' Party.

The primary difference between Communism and Fascism is Communism owns all industry, whereas Fascism controls all industry, i.e., dictates to industry what they will do for the good of the state.

And, he was kind enough to provide some more sources to flesh out the evidence provided of Obama's (and Michelle's) need to control all those horrible people (us) that made them so ashamed of our country:

On November 15, 2008 AMERICAN THINKER wrote this article Obama: Fear and the Security Force detailing how this "Universal" (but still "Voluntary") -- got a brain freeze yet? -- plan will unfold.

Much more is contained within "The Audacity of Socialistm" an IBD EXCLUSIVE SERIES

Here's a quote from one of the articles called "Michell's Bootcamp for Radicals": Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas. They plan to herd American youth into government-funded reeducation camps where they'll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of "social change."

And another one explaining the "brownshirts": Obama Wants You ... and boy, does he.

As Darwin thinketh...

James Allen wrote As A Man Thinketh ("As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.")

But, apparently, these scientists just can't seem to force that connection between species that would support Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories.

But, they'll keep trying.

Animal-human clones don't work, U.S. company finds

A history lesson

Policies that decreased competition in product and labor markets were especially destructive...

How Government Prolonged the Depression from The Wall Street Journal.

Children in the White House

As Frank Sinatra used to sing: "Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you..."

And it IS happening to you right now!

Remember one of Aesop's most famous Fables: "The Goose That Laid The Golden Egg"?

Well, your President and all his Democratic playmates are gutting that goose as we speak!

If you have the stomach to find out how, read this Open Letter To Our New President...and then get busy contacting your reprentatives ASAP (scroll down and find "Write Your Representative" in the links I provide under "Government and Policy").

They DO care when they get volumes of people protesting what they are doing, and it DOES make a difference!

Signs

On July 2 in Colorado Springs Presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama said this: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." [Emphasis mine.]

Don't believe me?

Barack Obama and Joe Biden's Plan For Universal Voluntary Citizen Service

This, for those who know history, brought up concerns about the famous Hitler "brownshirts" whose violent intimidation of political opponents and of Jews played a key role in Hitler's rise to power. (I can hear the lefties out there pooh-poohing, immediately, any connection between their Dear Leader and Hitler...but who have been blithely comparing President George W. Bush with him.

But newer, more recent developments are tweaking the nerves of those of us who know what a catastrophe personality-based politics has always become in any country that has ever succumbed to it:

Bill creates 'Nazi' camps in U.S. for 'emergencies'

Obama's Lawyer Consolidates Power

Joseph Farah of World Net Daily explains these concerns succinctly in his October, 2008 commentary Obama and his brownshirts:

One historical fact that has eluded most Americans, thanks to the illiberal education they receive in school and from the infotainment media, is that fascism has always been popular among so-called "progressives" – despite their tendency to mislabel and mischaracterize their political opponents as followers of the national socialist ideology.

Benito Mussolini was nearly worshipped by the left in his time. It was only Adolf Hitler who gave fascism a bad name with progressives – and then not until he broke the Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggression pact with Josef Stalin and their adored Soviet Union.

That's why I fear fascism today much more than I fear communism.

Because so many people know so little history, they make ludicrous statements about George W. Bush being "like Hitler..." but they have yet to see anyone they know (or have heard of) being dragged off in the middle of the night! But know this:

One thing very important to understand – fascism is not a right-wing ideology; it is a left-wing ideology. It always has been and always will be. It is about statism, not individualism.

And here's something a lot of people (conveniently) didn't hear about due to the way the "slobbering love affair" that the media has with Obama:

We got a whiff of this kind of fascism in Missouri last week when Obama partisans in various law-enforcement capacities pledged publicly to use their official police powers to go after anyone they believed to be unfairly portraying their candidate in political advertising...In other words, they decided to throw the First Amendment out the window.

Folks, I do have a life (and a job) so I can't go into great depth on this. But I do want you to stay aware and keep your eyes open.

There are people in this country who are taking all of this very seriously and, while not wanting to do anything that is against the laws of our great country, have taken the position expressed in one person's recent email:

As I have mentioned on some past posts...I'm moving on to a new mission that will force me to go "underground" on Sunday, Feb 1, 2009 because of the sensitive nature of the objectives and tactics concerning citizen militias. Be assured that all will be done according to high ethical and legal standards.

I can share, however, that the main short term goal is to assist in stopping any attempt to forcefully confiscate guns...everytime they try to raid a person's home...some militiamen/women will respond to that immediately and use force if necessary in DEFENSE of our 2nd Amendment rights....This is a warning to all Obots and persons who attempt to destroy our 2nd Amendment rights. You will be seen as DOMESTIC ENEMIES of the people. If you wish to communicate with me after Sunday, do so via snail mail as I will NOT respond to unsecured communications. God bless and keep you...

Please, take care.
