The Entire Iraq War Cost Less Than Obama’s “Economic Stimulus”

Debunking More Democrat Lies

Just in time for the upcoming November elections, here’s another log on the fire to damn’ the Democrats to hell.

The entire Iraq War cost less than the Federal Deficits of 2003 – 2006, and 2008 – 2010.  In fact, the entire war in Iraq cost less than Obama’s “Economic Stimulus” wild-assed spending of 2008.

The problem with our economy is plain as day for all to see.  It’s not Government “revenues” that are the problem (ie: us not paying enough taxes) the problem is this Government spends too damn’ much of our money!

Pop quiz time: Who’s been in control of Congress since 2006?  That’s right, the DEMOCRATS!  Who blew up the deficit in 2009 from the $300 billion the CBO projected, to the $1.4 trillion dollars that was spent?

Right again!  Barack Hussein Obama and the Extreme Left Wing Liberal Congress!

Remember in November!

Restoring Honor

8/28 Rally in Capital Filling Lincoln Memorial

I’m not posting much today, other than a link to the UStream live feed from the 8/28 rally, “Restoring Honor.”

Although I am sitting here asking myself “Just how do we restore honor to a bunch of corrupt, thieving politicians who think they have the right to run our lives?”

Obama Sides With Terrorists - AGAIN!

Administration halts prosecution of USS Cole bomber

The Obama administration has shelved the planned prosecution of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the alleged coordinator of the Oct. 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, according to a court filing.

The decision at least temporarily scuttles what was supposed to be the signature trial of a major al-Qaeda figure under a reformed system of military commissions. And it comes practically on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the attack, which killed 17 sailors and wounded dozens when a boat packed with explosives ripped a hole in the side of the warship in the port of Aden.

In a filing this week in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, the Justice Department said that "no charges are either pending or contemplated with respect to al-Nashiri in the near future."

The statement, tucked into a motion to dismiss a petition by Nashiri's attorneys, suggests that the prospect of further military trials for detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has all but ground to a halt, much as the administration's plan to try the accused plotters of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in federal court has stalled.

Editor: Color me speechless, and that takes alot folks.  First Obama endorses a mosque at Ground Zero with a muslim imam who said "America brought 9-11 on itself" and now this.  Do we really need any more proof this pResident is a terrorist loving muslim?  I think not.

Obama vs. Public Opinion

From TownHall.Com, Posted August 24th, 2010

Our Pick For Best of the Web Today

Obama vs. Public Opinion
Phyllis Schlafly

Americans are being treated to welcome entertainment during the dog days of summer as we watch the Democrats wring their hands over Barack Obama's tone deafness about political reality. Their despair about Obama is so painful that they are even calling on George W. Bush to come back and rescue Obama from his own mistakes.

The Democrats are reluctant to admit the truth that Obama is not a smart politician (like Bill Clinton, for example). Obama is a radical ideologue determined to "transform" America into the socialist mold, regardless of voter retaliation against Democratic candidates.

Let's tick off the issues where Obama staked out his lonely position at the same time public opinion polls showed that the majority of Americans lined up on the other side. Obama's determination to achieve "change" doesn't include obeying the wishes of We The People.

Take Obamacare, for example. Ramming it through Congress, overriding regular legislative procedure and the opposition of the American public, he deluded himself into believing that once it became the law of the land, the people would dutifully support it.

But they didn't. Even after passage, the Rasmussen survey reports this month that 66 percent favor repeal of the Health Control Law, and 50 percent say repeal will benefit the economy.

On Aug. 3, 71 percent of voters in Missouri, the bellwether state, approved a referendum to invalidate any Obamacare mandate to force individuals to buy health insurance. The same week, a federal judge ruled that Virginia may proceed with its lawsuit to overturn Obamacare's mandate on individuals to buy insurance.

The Democrats had hoped they could postpone Obama's commitment to Hispanic voters until after the 2010 elections by tucking the contentious immigration issue under the rug this year. But then Obama brought the immigration issue front and center by filing suit against the Arizona law.

A CBS poll shows that 57 percent of Americans think Arizona's law is "about right," and a Rasmussen poll found that 65 percent of Arizonans support the law. A Zogby poll found that 58 percent of Americans nationwide want their own state to adopt a law similar to Arizona's.

Then there's the matter of building the mosque on the ground near the 9/11 attack on New York City. Obama supports it, even though 61 percent of Americans are against it.

The mosque raises another festering issue. The Pew Research Center reports that 18 percent (one in five Americans) think Obama is a Muslim, and Time magazine puts that figure at 24 percent. The number of people who think Obama is a Christian is in a free fall, and 43 percent don't know his religion.

Rush Limbaugh reminded us of Obama's statement quoted in The New York Times that the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth" and that he recited it with a first-rate Arabic accent. The translation of the prayer call is "Allah is supreme. Allah is supreme. Allah is supreme. I witness that there is no god but Allah."

Obama chose the most leftwing Supreme Court justice in history, Elena Kagan. He ignored the Gallup poll showing that 42 percent of Americans wanted a new Supreme Court justice who would move the court in the conservative direction, while only 27 percent wanted it to move more liberal.

Obama is even pressing for Card Check, one of his many payoffs to the unions, even though 61 percent of Americans oppose this, according to Voter Consumer Research. Card Check would make it easier for unions to organize workplaces by getting rid of the secret ballot.

Obama is still pushing Cap and Trade, which the voters have dubbed Cap and Tax because it will make electricity and all kinds of energy cost every American thousands of dollars a year. CNN reports that 51 percent of Americans oppose it, and Democratic congressional incumbents who voted for it in the House last year are finding it a big negative in their 2010 campaigns.

Obama is still unwilling to face up to the American people's opposition to his economic policies of big spending, higher deficits, staggering debt and redistribution of wealth. According to a Rasmussen survey, less than one in five voters is willing to pay more taxes to lower the federal deficit because they believe we are already overtaxed.

More than 8 in 10 Americans believe the deficit is the result of overspending, not a lack of tax revenue.  And 58 percent believe that if Obama and Congress raise taxes to reduce the deficit, they will just spend the money on new government programs.

When Gallup asked Americans to name the greatest threat facing our country, the national debt tied with terrorism as the top choice. No wonder Zogby reports that 52 percent of Americans say Obama's change has made the country worse.

Editor: No wonder we can't wait for November 2nd!

U.S. Media: “Obama is NOT a Muslim, Dammit!”

Methinks Thou Dost Protest Too Much

The more the media screams “Obama is not a muslim!” the more I question the media’s collusion with the White House.
It’s no secret the media’s still in love with Obama.  They have been since he spoke at the 2004 Democrat Convention, and they still are to this day. 
imageThe propaganda machine has been out in full force the last 3-4 days  proclaiming Obama’s “Christianity”, problem is the more the “mainstream media” trys to tell the American public that Obama isn’t a muslim, the number of people who believe he is goes up.
Just look at these headlines from the last few days, and the video I posted yesterday from ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
  1. Nearly one in five Americans now incorrectly believes that President Obama is a Muslim, -- ABC News
  2. One Fifth (Wrongly) Think Obama’s Muslim -- Newsweek
  3. The number of Americans who believe -- wrongly -- that President Obama is a Muslim has increased significantly -- Washington Post
  4. One in four Americans wrongly believe Barack Obama is Muslim -- Telegraph UK
  5. Since President Barack Obama's inauguration, the number of people who believe — wrongly — that he is a Muslim actually has increased. -- Chicago Tribune
  6. Pew Research Center poll finds 18 percent of Americans wrongly believe President Barack Obama is Muslim -- Voice of America News
  7. Americans increasingly are convinced — incorrectly — that President Barack Obama is a Muslim -- DailyRadar
  8. Roughly one in five Americans wrongly says President Barack Obama is a Muslim, according to two new US opinion polls out Thursday -- Google News
  9. The number of Americans who believe, wrongly, that President Barack Obama is a Muslim has climbed significantly -- AOL News
  10. Poll: Growing number incorrectly call Obama Muslim -- LA Times (AP)
  11. Growing Number Incorrectly Call Obama Muslim – Time
Based on the polling data, it no longer matters what the “mainstream” media says.  The American public recognizes that they stopped doing their jobs – objective reporting – long ago.  The media in this country has truly become the fifth column, a propaganda arm of this White House.
imageIt doesn’t matter how many times the “mainstream” media broadcasts  or prints it, an increasing number of Americans believe Obama is a muslim.  We believe that based on Obama’s own actions during the course of his “Presidency” in constantly “reaching out” to muslims, preferential treatment via White House policy, his refusal to stop Iran from getting nuclear capability and the fact that Obama stepped in a big, steaming pile of crap when he endorsed the mosque at Ground Zero without “questioning the wisdom of it.”
image
By their fruits, we shall know them, and by Obama’s fruits he’s a full blown muslim sitting in the people’s White House.
November 2nd can’t come fast enough for this writer.

Let Me Translate: We Don't Believe Him - or You.

American Thinker Unloads On Media, Polls

The American Thinker is one of my personal favorite blogs and I try to read it daily. 
This morning AT had an article similar to what I’d posted yesterday, although I do have to admire someone who can more eloquently make a case better than I as to why they think (or may not think) Obama is a muslim. 
The American Thinker’s article is replete with facts and examples that I’d missed, which go to the heart as to why so many American’s are “confused” about what religion Barack Hussein Obama really is. 
While I won’t post the entire article here, I will share with you my favorite excerpt:
We know you claim him to be a Christian.  We know Obama has at times claimed to be a Christian.  We know Jeremiah Wright's Trinity Church claims to be some kind of Christian denomination.  We simply doubt it.  And the more we watch all of you, the less we are inclined to believe any of it.
                        - The American Thinker Blog
And there the argument is in a nutshell. The media is going out of its way to try and convince us the ignorant, unwashed masses that Obama’s a “Christian” and that we’re all mistaken about who and what he really is.

Case in point, this condesending piece of “reporting” from ABC’s “Good Morning America” just yesterday:


Don’t you just love the “mainstream media” telling you that you’re “confused” and “misinformed?”  Here we have a prime example of the Obama State Controlled Media trying to tell you and I what to think, and their frustration that we’re simply not buying it is noticeable.
We also know his father was a Muslim.  We know his stepfather was a Muslim.  We know that under Sharia Law, he is a Muslim, and that much of the Muslim World regards him as a Muslim. We know his mother was an atheist.  We know Obama sent a bureaucrat out to claim that NASA's top mission was Muslim outreach.  We know he skipped the Boy Scout's 100th Anniversary bash.  We know he's had a couple Freudian slips pertaining to his faith.  We know he has called the Islamic call to prayer the most beautiful sound on earth. 
                        - The American Thinker Blog
So what does all this polling data really mean?  Do somewhere between 18-24% of American’s genuinely believe that Obama is a muslim, or is it simply as The American Thinker states, a way of voting against Obama before the November elections?

Frankly, I think we know Obama by his own words and deeds as I said yesterday, and based on his own actions, he’s a muslim.  I don’t doubt it anyway.

Nearly One-Quarter of American’s Believe Obama Is a Muslim

Confusion Reigns as Administration Policies Prefer Islam over Christianity, Judaism

Last evening, Rev. Franklin Graham of “Samaritan’s Purse” and son of legendary Rev. Billy Graham said on CNN’s “Larry King Live” show:

"He was born a Muslim. His father was a Muslim; the seed of Islam is passed through the father like the seed of Judaism is passed through the mother.

"He was born a Muslim; his father gave him an Islamic name,” the son of noted evangelist Billy Graham, said.

“It’s obvious that the president has renounced Islam … the president says he is a Christian, and we just have to accept it as that,” the Samaritan's Purse CEO added.

With all due deference to the Rev. Franklin Graham who I happen to believe runs a wonderful charity in Samaritan’s Purse, it’s not “obvious” to me any longer that Obama is not in fact, a muslim.

What do I mean when I say “any longer?”  I used to give Obama the benefit of the doubt despite my “reservations” over the highly controversial “Trinity Christian Church” with their “black liberation” theology led by the equally highly controversial “Reverend” Jeremiah Wright.

I don’t give Obama that benefit any longer.  The proof is in the pudding as the old saying goes, and Obama’s certainly provided enough proof that he’s a closet muslim at best, a full blown muslim at worst.  We need look no further than the controversy over the “Cordoba House” project at Ground Zero, and “ObamaCare” for proof. 

obamaramadan Obama endorses building of Cordoba House

On August 14th, Obama lent his endorsement to the building of Cordoba House at Ground Zero in front of a muslim group at the White House.

In his speech, Obama said muslims have a “right” to build at Ground Zero, citing the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.  Clearly, this was a first for Obama citing the Constitution to defend anyone’s religious freedoms and he used it to defend the muslim’s “rights” to build a mosque at ground zero.

Has anyone heard Obama defend Christian’s or Jew’s rights citing the Constitution since Obama took office? Didn’t think so, neither have I.  Herein lies my first problem with Obama’s claims he’s a Christian.  He does nothing to defend the Christian faith, yet uses the power of his office to defend the muslim faith.

(Obama addresses muslim group at the White House, 8/14/10)

As we examine ObamaCare, we find that it exempts muslims.  Why?

In the islamic “faith” (I prefer to call it a cult of death, but I digress…) there is something known as the “jizya” which is a tax on non-muslims.  This tax is imposed on non-muslims living in muslim countries for protection of persecution by muslims so that non-muslims can work and practice their faith, albeit they must practice it in private where no one can see.

From the point of view of the Muslim rulers, jizya was a material proof of the non-Muslims' acceptance of subjection to the islamic state and its laws. During the time of “Mohammed” as foreign lands were being conquered by islam, “Mohammed” ordered his military commanders to fight the indigenous, non-muslims of the land until they were killed, were forcefully converted to islam, or paid the ‘jizya’ for protection. 

But let me be clear: as a citizen, and as President, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable.

                               - Barack Hussein Obama, 8/14/10

So why are muslims exempt from “ObamaCare” and are we in fact the rest of America paying a ‘jizya?’ to the muslims?

Given Obama’s specious argument that he’s a “Christian” his actions in attending an anti-American, anti-White church for more than two decades, his demonstrated preference for allowing a mosque to be built at ground zero, and excluding muslims from “ObamaCare” (meaning the rest of us are paying for these terrorist bastards) certainly indicates one thing to me: Obama is a muslim.

He was born a muslim in a muslim country to a muslim father and has never renounced that “faith.”  His acts as a “Christian” have been anything but, giving preference to the very terrorists that attacked us on September 11th, 2001. 

There is no confusion as to what Obama truly is, at least in the 24% of us who know by Obama’s own words and actions that he is in fact, a muslim.

Prediction: Blagojevich Will Not Face Re-Trial

Embarrassed Fitzgerald To Be Replaced 

Federal Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald pulled the trigger on prosecuting Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich too soon, that's the sentiment of the Jury Foreman in the Blagojevich corruption trial.  Mainstream thought here in Illinois is that had Patrick Fitzgerald waited another few days to arrest Blago, the scheme to sell Obama's old Senate seat would've revealed one or more White House sources that were all involved in the scheme.  Rahm Emmanuel being amongst the highest ranking.

Instead as we now know, Fitzgerald sprung his trap early, "preventing a crime spree in progress" which may have ended up protecting several White House staff members.

I don't know if Fitzgerald knew and intentionally arrested Blagojevich early to protect several White House sources or not.  What's important is that the Jury Foreman and several other jury members believe Fitzgerald knew and arrested Blagojevich early for fear of what he may find via White House involvement, and having to potentially prosecute high ranking White House officials as a result.

Again, those are not my words, those are the words of the Blago Jury Foreman and several others that were interviewed on Chicago local area television last evening. 

So let's assume Jury foreman James Matsumoto was correct in his statements for a moment and ponder what a re-trial may mean.

As the Blagojevich legal team didn't put up a defense recognizing a hung jury when they saw one, could it possibly mean that a re-trial would force Federal Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to look deeper into potential White House involvement in the "sale" of Barack Obama's old Senate seat here in Illinois?

Possibly.

And that my friends is what the Obama White House would fear most coming up to the November mid-term elections.  Fitzgerald has already vowed to re-try the case "as soon as possible" which may mean this September or October if Judge Zagel agrees.  This is a nightmare scenario for Obama and the Democrats already faced their own corruption scandals involving Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters.  A "perfect storm" so to speak just in time for the November elections.

So here's my prediction: During some Friday night news dump by the White House in the not too distant future and before the November elections, Patrick Fitzgerald will be replaced as the Federal Prosecutor in the Blagojevich case by Eric Holder's Justice Department.  

Miraculously several weeks later during another Friday night news dump, the new Federal Prosecutor will decide not to re-try the case, and instead choose to pursue the maximum punishment for the one charge Blagojevich was convicted of, lying to the Federal Prosecutor, sending him to Oxford Wisconsin's Federal Penitentiary for the maximum 5 years sentence, and the maximum $250,000 fine. 

The result: Blago's out of public sight, no longer capable of proclaiming his innocence or staining the White House and the "Patrick Fitzgerald" problem that the Obama White House has been struggling with in removing him will have been solved.  It's no secret the White House and Eric Holder's in-Justice Department have been waiting to remove Fitzgerald.

Now, just what do I base these predictions on?  First, I predicted Blago would essentially walk.  The case was too complicated  with 24 charges, more than 120 individual counts, and 150 rules the Jury had to obey to convict or acquit Blagojevich.  As we know, Blago was convicted on the lesser of all charges lying to the Federal Prosecutor.  Essentially, this is the same "crime" committed by Martha Stewart, "Scooter" Libby and Bill Clinton.  I have serious doubts Blagojevich will spend even one day in prison.

Second, it wasn't one lone hold-out juror that prevented convictions on the other 23 charges against Blagojevich as much of the media is reporting.  On all but two charges against the former Governor, the jury was split either 5-7 Guilty/Not Guilty, or 7-5 Guilty/Not Guilty.  On one charge, the jury was unanimous "not guilty" and it was only the 24th charge, "Lying to the Federal Prosecutor" that the entire jury agreed to a guilty verdict on.

None of this bodes well for re-trying Blagojevich and you can bet someone in the White House has figured all this out much the same way I did, just by paying attention to the case.  

It is on these facts that I base my prediction that sometime in the next few weeks on a quiet friday evening, the White House will announce during a "news dump" that Patrick Fitzgerald has been replaced as the Federal Prosecutor in the Rod Blagojevich corruption scandal.  Furthermore, the next Federal Prosecutor will decide not to go forward with a re-trial and that also will be announced during a friday night news dump, so as to avoid repeated news cycles.

Now taking bets on my prediction.

SPECIAL REPORT: Blago Jury Hung On 23 of 24 Counts

Federal Prosecutors Blow It, Vows Re-Trial

By now you’ve likely heard that former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (D.) was convicted on the lesser of 24 counts against him by an Illinois Jury.

That count, “lying to the Federal Prosecutor” carries a maximum sentence of 5 years.

On the remaining 23 counts, the jury hung. Not surprising to me, after all this is Illinois and as you, the rest of the country are figuring out we invented political corruption here.

Ex-Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich arrives at courtSo why did the jury hang on 23 of 24 counts?  Simple.  Let’s start with 24 counts.  Patrick Fitzgerald threw 24 charges at Blagojevich, many of which had one to six counts against them.  For each charge, the jury needed to consider each individual count in order to convict Blagojevich.

Then there were the more than 150 rules that governed how the jury would debate and convict or absolve Blagojevich.

24 charges, and more than 100 individual counts, and 150 rules for an Illinois Jury to consider and convict or absolve what is unarguably the most corrupt Governor in Illinois history. 

So what are we to make of the results of this trial?

First, as I said in the beginning Fitzgerald made this case way too complex.  Throwing 24 charges and more than 100 individual counts against the wall thinking something would ultimately stick was a losing strategy. 

Second, 150 rules governing debate and conviction in the jury room was just too over the top.

What jury in the world would stand for such nonsense? 

Patrick Fitzgerald didn’t make his case.  After 6 weeks of playing tapes, the Federal Prosecutor’s office was banking on Blagojevich taking the stand and “tripping him up” to drive home a guilty verdict. 

Blago’s attorney’s knowing Patrick Fitzgerald the Federal Prosecutor didn’t make his case, kept Blago off the stand. 

The jury obviously knows Blago is guilty of corruption.  They also understand that Fitzgerald is an out of control Federal Prosecutor who should’ve kept the case simple, charging Blago with the most aggregious crimes such as Racketeering and gone for that conviction.

Therefore, the jury’s guilty verdict on the lesser of all the charges and hanging on the remaining 23 sends a clear message to those who would prosecute the rampant corruption here in Illinois in the future: Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Fitzgerald announced minutes after the Judge declared a mistrial on 23 counts that they would be re-trying the case here in Illinois in Federal Court.

Please Mr. Fitzgerald – spare us poor taxpayers.  You took your best shot and you failed.  The $25 - $50 million it’ll cost for a retrial is desperately needed elsewhere.  Our schools, more police, and fixing our roads comes to mind. 

You lost Mr. Fitzgerald, take the 5 year conviction for lying to the Federal Prosecutor and walk away.  You’d be doing us taxpayers in Illinois a huge favor.

Obama: Muslims Have A Right To PracticeTheir Religion In The United States

Muslims In Middle East Proclaim Sharia Law Has Arrived In U.S.

Obama's comments over the weekend have our terrorist enemies in the Middle East celebrating.

As Obama backed the planting of islam's victory flag near the site of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, muslims around the world started asking "can we practice sharia law in the United States?"

The answer is: of course!  While Obama may not have fully understood the consequences of his statement, muslims in the United States and world-wide certainly did.  We've already had "honor killings" in the United States and forced conversions to islam at islamic day camps in Iowa and Minnesota.  Are sharia courts far behind?  Not if Obama has his way.

Culturally, Obama grew up a muslim which certainly explains his position(s) on the building of a mosque on what you and I would consider "sacred ground."  But not to Obama, who considers the whole issue "traumatic" for many.

Was Pearl Harbor a "traumatic" issue on December 7th, 1941 or was it an act of war?  Of course it was an act of war - just as much as Sept. 11th, 2001 was an act of war against America by radical islamic fundamentalists.  And now these same radical islamic fundamentalists are celebrating the planting of their victory flag within steps of the most horrific attack against America since Pearl Harbor.

We would never let the Japanese fly their national flag above the site of the U.S.S. Arizona, yet Obama doesn't see the conflict of allowing the very religion that attacked our country plant a victory flag via building a mosque, within steps of the World Trade Center.

Culturally, Obama is a muslim.  His father was one, he attended a madrassa, and for a substantive portion of his life he grew up as one.  His "sensitivities" towards muslims don't extend towards Christians and Jews, otherwise he'd have said "you can build your mosque here when the United States of America - a Christian Nation - is allowed to build a Christian worship center in Mecca."

We have a muslim in the White House folks.  Obama removed all doubt this weekend. 

By the way, the Obama's have yet to find a place of Christian Worship in D.C. yet, some 18+ months after Obama assumed the Presidency.  I"m just saying.

Obama Backs Mosque at Ground Zero

Forcefully Endorsed Building

I guess it should be no surprise that the first Muslim “President” who just so happens to be aligned with domestic terrorists like William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn would endorse his brother muslims planting a victory flag at Ground Zero.

Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building a mosque near ground zero, saying the country's founding principles demanded no less. "As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country," Obama said, weighing in for the first time on a controversy that has riven New York and the nation. "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."

Obama Endroses Mosque

(Video Link Here)

I guess in this country practicing one’s religious freedoms is only possible if one isn’t a Christian or Jew after all, this is the same “President” that endorsed Sharia Law in Africa.

This is also the same “President” that picked a “sharia compliant” financial advisor as a White House Fellow just this past June.

Need I remind anyone that Obama also ordered NASA to change their mission to make muslims “feel better” about themselves? 

Then there’s Obama’s pronouncement that islam is a “great religion” just last September, combined with his brilliant statement that the United States “is not, and never will be, at war with islam.”

Right.  We’re not at war with islam, but islam is at war with us.

But hey, Obama wouldn’t know anything about that having grown up in a muslim country and attending a madrassa, now would he?

Let us never forget what a truly horrific day 9-11-01 really was, and what these muslim bastards did to our country.

This dumbass we have in the White House apparently has (forgotten.)

This November, let's remind him what his muslim brethren did on that tragic day by sending the Democrats packing and neutering this Obamanation of a "Presidency."

Illegal Immigration Decimates Maywood, California

This transmission is the last 4 minutes of the Maywood Police Department.

Maywood is a suburb of Los Angeles and was at one time "Leave it to Beaver" community.  Over the years, the original citizens moved away and it became a 98% Mexican (predominately illegal) community of renters. 

The taxes of the properties were still being assessed at the rates of the owners from the 1940s.  The population exploded from one family per household to as many as 5 families per household.  5 times the population put a huge strain on the infrastructures of police, fire, paramedics and schools without taxes to support it.

All but one of the city officials were Mexican, just one generation from the border, and sympathetic to the "poor immigrants."  These same City officials then refused to pass laws overseeing the percentage of homes rented or number of persons allowed in one home.  The city went bankrupt and fired all of its employees. 

Now, the County of Los Angeles is compelled by law to provide those services.  The citizens of other communities in Los Angeles County are now footing the bill for police, fire, and schools, sewage, water, parks, street repair.  The county is already stretched to its limits because Maywood is one of at least a dozen other suburbs whose infrastructure is crumbling because of the same issues.  The Maywood employees lost their jobs, benefits, and retirements.   

 

You'll here the radio code "10-7"  That is the code when a patrol unit goes out of service.  You'll hear the calls signs of "Lincoln" and "Charlie."  Those are codes for Lieutenants and Captains.  The dispatcher is a Los Angeles County Sheriff dispatcher who read the history of the Maywood police Department.

In essence the back of Maywood California was broken.  American citizens lost good jobs that every American citizen dreams of. 

Supporters of open borders and those who turn their backs on illegal immigration say that immigrants only take away jobs that Americans don't want to do. 

Really?  Listen to the voices of the officers signing off for the last time.  These employees were not tomato pickers.  They were dedicated, hard working AMERICANS and protectors of the public. They lost their jobs, benefits and retirements because the financial back of the town was broken by rampant illegal immigration while “city officials” turned their heads the other way.

If you listen carefully, you’ll hear the dispatcher mention two of the Maywood California police department’s officers that are currently deployed in Afghanistan.  They will come home – unemployed, thanks to liberal policies that allow illegal immigrants to run rampant and decimate a city’s services.

Think it can’t happen in your town?  You may want to think again.

Democrats: Ban Chewing Tobacco In Major League Baseball

Is there a limit to how much of our daily lives these bastards want to control?

That was a rhetorical question of course, they want complete control of every aspect of our lives.

I can see November clearly now.

Where Are The Jobs?

Christina Romers Exit Means Keynesian Economics Have Failed

There can no longer be any doubt that Obamanomics has failed. 20 months into this Administration with mounting job losses and unemployment stubbornly staying at 9.5% after peaking at 10.2% earlier this year leaves no doubt that Obama's economic policies are an abysmal failure

Prediction: Christina Romer won't be the last of Obama's disgraced economic advisors to resign before the November elections.

MO Voters Reject Obama

State Nullification Movement Gains Momentum

The “Show Me” state just showed ObamaCare the door yesterday. 

obamacareBy a 75% to 25% margin, voters in Missouri told the Obama Administration and the Federal Government to piss off by approving Proposition C – The Health Care Freedom Act.

Life is beautiful, even if just for today – Obama’s alleged birthday.

The law states:

No law or rule shall compel, directly or indirectly, any person, employer, or health care provider to participate in any health care system.

and

A person or employer may pay directly for lawful health care services and shall not be required by law or rule to pay penalties or fines for paying directly for lawful health care services. A health care provider may accept direct payment for lawful health care services and shall not be required by law or rule to pay penalties or fines for accepting direct payment from a person or employer for lawful health care services. image

This is a flat-out rejection of ObamaCare by the Voters of Missouri.   The principle behind the legislation passed and approved by the voters is that of State Nullification.  When a state “nullifies” a federal law or mandate, it is effectively stating that the federal law violates States Rights as defined in the United States Constitution, and is therefore “null and void” within the boundaries of that state.

The legislation also means that the full force of the State will be used   to protect the rights and liberties of its states’ citizenry from harm against the Federal Government should it try enforcing the law within that state. 

Voters in Virginia, Idaho, Louisiana and Utah have already passed their own “Health Care Freedom Acts” also nullifying ObamaCare in those states.  Arizona and Oklahoma are scheduled to vote on it this November, while movements are afoot in at least 20 other states to do the same.

Happy Birthday Obama!  How’s that “Hope and Change” working out for you?

(Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!)

It’s The Economy, Stupid

Paying People Not To Work

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, approximately 1.4 million people have been out of work for 99 weeks or more, and have now exhausted their unemployment “benefits.”

Long term unemployment is at record levels.  It now takes more than 6 months for an average worker to find new employment.  Our unemployment rate has exceeded 9% for the second year in a row under the Obama Administration.

Not since the Great Depression has this country had an unemployment rate above 9% for two years in a row.  Over the last 18 months, the average unemployment rate has been 9.5%. 

Obama’s economic policies (TARP, “Stimulus”, Government seizure of Automobile companies, Banks, Health Care) drove the unemployment rate all the way up to 10.2% in February – April of this year alone.

So how’s that “hope and change” working out for the country?

By the looks of it, not well at all.  Like me, you’re probably pining for the good old days of 2005. 

Remember 2005, when the Democrats claimed that George W. Bush had “wrecked” the economy?  Remember Nancy Pelosi saying we were all living in the “worst economy since the Great Depression?”

As we all now know, 2005 was a banner year for our economy with a record low 4.5% unemployment which by all economic measures meant that everyone who wanted a job, had a job.  Job creation peaked in 2005 with an average of 200,000 net, new jobs being created month over month for more than three and a half years beginning in 2002.

Since then what happened?  Well, in 2006 the Democrats seized Congress and began their anti-business agenda.  The chart above doesn’t lie as it shows unemployment levels creeping up along with jobless “benefits” that have been paying people not to work.  The average unemployment duration and payout of benefits has more than quadrupled since Democrats took over Congress and the White House and increasingly American’s are waking up to this fact.  That truth is reflected in Obama’s and Congress’ record high disapproval ratings and America’s pessimism about the direction the country is headed.

So while others opine about the ethics scandals of Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters, Obama’s handling of the Gulf oil spill, his desire to instantly nationalize more than 15 million illegal immigrants bypassing Congress to do so and Obama’s foreign policy failures, the fact is the economy is the number one issue on the minds of average American’s.  They recognize that the path this country is on is unsustainable and the federal government’s penchant for destroying job creation while simultaneously seeking to control every aspect of our daily lives is not the answer. 

Hell, we could lower the minimum wage to $1.50 per hour and it’s still not going to fix this economic disaster Obama’s policies has created!

The path forward as we right thinking American’s all know and understand is to neuter the Democrats in November, stopping the Federal Government’s job destroying, out of control spending ways and restoring responsible fiscal sanity in the halls of Congress.

In short, it’s the economy stupid.

‘The Federal Government Can Do Most Anything in This Country’

(D.) Congressman Pete Stark Says Powers Unlimited

 

This video ought to send chills down the spines of most right-thinking American’s who still value the United States Constitution.

Congressman Pete Stark (D. CA) believes the Federal Government can do most anything in regulating our daily lives, including making those of us who work for a living tax-slaves to those who do not providing them “free” health care.

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."

                                    -Thomas Jefferson

Our Patrick Henry moment is here folks.  This is what we’re up against in November.  Stark’s views are that of “mainstream” Democrats in Washington D.C. and it’s high time they were ALL voted out!

 

Clear Majority of New Yorkers Favor ObamaCare Repeal

Tide Turns Against Big Daddy Government In Top Liberal State

A new Rasmussen Reports survey of public opinion in New York finds a solid majority of respondents favor repeal of Obamacare, with 56 percent overall favoring and 41 percent saying they strongly favor repeal.

Only 42 percent oppose repeal, with only 31 percent, or slightly less than one-third, strongly opposing repeal, according to Rasmussen.

These figures place New York firmly in the national mainstream of opinion on the issue of repealing Obamacare:

"The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 58% of voters favor repeal, including 48% who Strongly Favor it. Thirty-seven percent (37%) are opposed to repeal, with 28% who are Strongly Opposed," Rasmussen said.

New Senate Energy Bill is a Poison Pill

Environmentalist Dream Will Kill Economy, Destroy American Way of Life

The American Thinker has an excellent analysis online today by Brian Sussman, a former Meteorologist and author of Climategate: A Veteran Meteorologist Exposes The Global Warming Scam.

A “slimmed down” version of Cap and Trade is targeted for passage by the Lame Duck Congress after the November 2nd elections.  This bill if passed mandates homeowners spend thousands of dollars to comply with a new “Home Star Retrofit Act of 2010” via “environmental compliance upgrades.”  If passed, this act will further depress the housing industry and drive home prices down further, no doubt a goal of the Obama Administration to deplete American’s wealth via transfer to Federal Government coffers. 

Smart Meters will also be required across the country, giving control of YOUR electricity usage to the Federal Government who will then calculate what your “carbon footprint” should be, and “entice” you to reduce it via “economic rewards” to do so.

To make matters worse, the same bill would require Fannie Mae, already tens of billions of dollars in the red to become the official lender of first resort for those homeowners who could not otherwise afford to “upgrade” their homes doors, windows and heating systems.  That’s right, section 3015 of the “Home Star Retrofit Act of 2010” forces Fannie Mae to lend even more money, taking on even more debt, from homeowners who cannot afford their homes in the first place!

There’s far more in this bill that will kill our economy, for Brian Sussman’s excellent analysis, please click here and read it on the American Thinker blog.

10 More Reasons The Democrats Are Toast

Obama’s Base Quits Blaming Bush

Yesterday’s Daily Beast had a great column by Mark McKinnon which outlined the reasons why Democrats have much to fear in this coming November’s elections. 

As someone who’s written extensively on this very topic, I really appreciated the way McKinnon broke down the top 10 reasons why Democrats are toast and think his entire column bears reading, but this one happens to be my favorite since I’ve been screaming it for the last 4 years now, since the Democrats took over Congress:

Folks in the real world don’t blame Bush for decisions made by Democrats—in control of the House, Senate, and White House—in the last two years.

                -- Mark McKinnon, The Daily Beast

Here McKinnon gets it mostly right, however he fails to recognize that Democrats have had control of Congress since 2006, and therefore have been responsible for the exploding budget deficits of the last three years. Congress controls the spending purse strings after all, the President does not.

The last Bush/Republican budget deficit of 2007 (created by the Republican Congress of 2006) was $210 billion dollars, including costs of the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Democrats seized control of Congress in January of 2007 and promptly blew the budget deficit up to $450 billion dollars for fiscal year 2008, then more than quadrupled it for 2009.

budgetdeficitprojections2009

** Note: Congress passes its budgets for the next Fiscal Year.  The first Democrat Budget passed in 2007 for fiscal year 2008.

Is it any surprise that 2009’s budget deficit exceeded $1.75 TRILLION dollars, and for 2010 is projected to be $1.3 TRILLION, and continuing to run deficits as far as the eye can see?

Anyone who looks at these facts quickly loses confidence in the Democrats “ability” to control spending.  This is why the Democrats theme of “Blame Bush” continues today, they want to distract from their own exploding budget deficits and once again make the upcoming election about Bush.  From their perspective, it worked in 2008 – even though Bush couldn’t run again – so why wouldn’t it work again?

But then there’s that old adage, “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.”

I suspect voters won’t be fooled again, they’ve seen who’s been running things the last two years as Democrats have controlled the House, Senate and White House and don’t like how their tax money is being spent, and their children are forced into tax servitude for this Administration’s economic follies.

As McKinnon points out, the economy and government spending are but two of the ten reasons voters will turn away Democrats this fall, read his excellent analysis here.
