HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 - THE YEAR OF CONSERVATIVE REVOLUTION

2010 is the beginning of a new decade and the year of the conservative revolution as we take back our country standing on true Constitutional principles and the values of our Founding Fathers. Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have had their fifteen minutes of fame and their destruction of our country ends in 2010.

More patriotic Americans are taking a stand against Obama's socialist take over of our Nation and the anger of the people is building with each passing moment. November is our moment and house cleaning is our goal. Democrat or Republican, if anyone in Congress who is up for re-election does not stand for freedom and Constitutional principles as envisioned by our Founders will find themselves unemployed, fired by we the people and replaced by true Constitutional representatives of the people.

2010 is the beginning of their end and the revival of American values and greatness as we send the Marxist/socialists packing and show Obama that we are his boss and tie his hands by eliminating his Congressional support making him a lame duck two full years before he is booted out in 2012.

So stand tall my fellow patriots and remember that we the people are the Constitutional authority of our land and we will prevail as we once again fight an American Revolution against tyranny and a government that is systematically taking away our freedoms.

Happy New Year and let the fight for freedom and our Constitution bring our victory in November!

CHENEY BLASTS OBAMA ON TERRORISM AND A LITTLE OBAMA HUMOR

We are quickly approaching the last moments of 2009 and ushering in a 2010 which I truly believe will be a year in which everyday American like you and I will rise up against Obama's big government take over and clean house in November taking our country back. As the year is coming to an end terrorism is at the top of the news because of the failed attack on Christmas Day which has displayed for the world and our enemies just how weak Obama is and how vulnerable his appeasement policies have made us.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney responded to the attack and Obama's weak reaction to the events on Christmas Day:

"As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of 9/11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.


He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core al Qaeda trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gets rid of the words, ‘war on terror,’ we won’t be at war. But we are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe. Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency – social transformation—the restructuring of American society. President Obama’s first object and his highest responsibility must be to defend us against an enemy that knows we are at war."

Once again Cheney calls it right on the mark and sees the danger that the weakness of Barack Obama is posing to our Nation.

Now on a little lighter note :

Following is a little diddy that I found which will bring a laugh for the last days of the year.

"Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey were flying on Obama’s private plane. Obama looked at Oprah, chuckled and said, ‘You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.’ Oprah shrugged her shoulders and replied, ‘I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy.’ Michelle added, ‘That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy.

Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot, ‘Such big-shots back there! I could throw all of their tails out of the window and make 56 million people very happy."

Happy New Year!

ANOTHER TERRORIST ATTACK AND ANOTHER LAME OBAMA RESPONSE

First it was the obvious terrorist attack killing 14 at Fort Hood, Texas which the Obama administration has yet to admit was a terrorist attack though all of the evidence proves it. Now both the terrorist and Al Qaeda have claimed terrorist responsibility for the failed bombing of Northwest flight 253 and the Obama administration refuses to use the word terrorist to describe the event.

The failed attack took place on Friday, Christmas Day, and it took four days for an official response from Obama. Janet Napalitano, Homeland Security Secretary, claimed that because the attack failed, the system worked. Is this woman crazy, stupid or both ? No only did the system fail completely but had it not been for heroic passengers the plane would have burned from the attempted attack.

When the administration finally reacted, and the key here is, "reacted," the people who fly are being punished rather than those who planned the attack. Now passengers cannot use blankets, pillows and must keep in their seats for the last hour of an international flight. This type of lame reaction does nothing more than give the terrorists a victory, even for a failed attack because it is we who suffer and not them.

Obama's only response was to call for an investigation and his, "resolve," was to bring those involved to accountability. Whatever happened to hunting these killers down who are making acts of war against our Nation, finding them and eliminating them ? Oh yes, I nearly forgot, under the Obama administration terrorism is once again a criminal act and not an act of war.

With Obama at the helm when it comes to terrorism we have once again become weak, an easy target and reactive rather than proactive. The Bush Doctrine was to eliminate terrorists before they had opportunity to attack us. This proactive action kept The United States safe as there was not an attack on our homeland after 9/11 and the institution of the Bush Doctrine.

Obama has been in office less than a year and made terrorism a criminal act once again and we have experienced two terrorist attacks on our homeland. One successful and one failed ONLY because of the failure of the terrorist and not the success of the system. The obvious weakness of Obama is being taken advantage of by the enemy and unfortunately I believe that what we have witnessed so far is only a test and that more attacks will follow now that Al Qaeda and other terrorism groups see how weak and vulnerable we have become under Obama.

Where once we had a resolve to defeat this fanatical enemy there is caution and rhetoric. Where once our strength and military power was eliminating an enemy who sought to kill Americans there is indecisiveness and appeasement. Where once we as a people could wake every morning knowing that our Nation was protecting her people, we once again wonder when the next attack will take place and where.

Yet Obama stands before the press after he spends several days on the golf course contemplating how to placate this evil enemy and deceives the American people with hollow promises of safety and protection. His actions and weakness since taking office have shown our enemy that they once again can attack Americans and get away with it. That they can once again use our freedoms as an opportunity to exploit our vulnerability. And the President sits back and relaxes in Hawaii.

SENATOR MAX BAUCUS DRUNK WHILE SPEAKING ON SENATE FLOOR

If you had any doubt as to the type of leadership that Democrats are providing then this video of Max Baucus should set aside any doubts. Not that most of you had any when one considers the total incompetency that Democrats have displayed, but the actions of a drunken Max Baucus pretty much sums it up about Democrat leadership.

In case you are wondering how Baucus sounds when he is not drunk the following video will provide that answer.


For any United States Senator to show up for a Senate session drunk is inexcusable. But to actually speak on the Senate floor showing the entire world his intoxication are grounds for at least censure and his constituency to remove him from office.

PROSTITUTES IN CONGRESS, YES THEY'RE ELECTED - THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first." RONALD REAGAN

The quote above from President Reagan has never been more appropriate in reference to politics and prostitution. The passage of the health care monstrosity last week by Senate Democrats was nothing more than a Nevada led prostitution ring in which Harry Reid pimped out Senators like Ben Nelson and Mary Landrieu.

Even Democrat Senators who have supported this unwanted bill from the beginning like Chris Dodd were pimped out by Harry Reid in order to stabilize support for a bill that will force Americans unconstitutionally to purchase health care, increase the deficit, place one fifth of our economy under government control and do NOTHING to actually ,"reform," health care.

To say that the American people do not want this massive government take over is a understatement. No matter whether one looks at a more left leaning poll or a balanced poll a minimum of 56% of Americans do not want this debacle. Yet the Pelosi, Reid led Congress passed a House and Senate version and have already made plans to bypass normal reconciliation committees to place a final bill on Obama's desk before the State of The Union address in January.

Buying a vote and giving support when changes are made in accordance to principle are two different matters. Joe Lieberman, who voted for the bill, changed his tune after a provision in which he was against was removed from the bill. While I still disagree with his vote, he at least stood on principle rather than accepting a prostitutional bribe for his vote.

Harry Reid tried to be a comedian after passage when it was learned that he initially voted against the bill and then changed his vote to aye. Stating that he momentarily garnered, "bipartisan support," with his no vote was not funny in the least. Especially in light of the massive millions prostituted out by Pimp Reid to get this bill passed.

In the House, Nancy Pelosi acted as a bordello Madame doing the very same bribe tactics as her Pimp buddy Harry Reid did in the Senate. Now the Madame and the Pimp will get together after the New Year and rewrite the bill in order to place it on their dear leaders desk so that he can tout how much he helped the American people at the State of The Union .

Obama even delayed his vacation to a rented Hawaiian Villa costing tax payers $ 4000 dollars a day, "sacrificing," the time to wait for passage in case he was needed. All the while Air Force One was running on the tarmac waiting for the dear leader to emerge from Marine One for his vacation. Of course the cost of the fuel and personnel to keep the plane running does not matter since it was for a, "good cause." (all sarcasm intended)

Who will suffer from the Congressional Prostitution Ring? The American people. The taxes which include such items as a ten percent tax on the use of tanning beds, will begin immediately and continue for more than four years in order to garner money to supposedly pay for this mess. I imagine that the funds will be placed in a, "lock box," in order to prevent any of the,"beneficial," funding from being used before the programs kick in.

Oh wait a minute, wasn't this how Social security was supposed to work ? All money taken from Americans as a tax for Social Security was deemed untouchable in order to pay for the program. Yet Congress has spent every dime making the program on the verge of bankruptcy especially with the millions of Baby Boomers who are already or close to retirement. Why are we to believe that health care will be any different ?

Additionally wasn't the very reason that Obama and the rest of the Democrats whined that his monstrosity had to be passed quickly and without reading because millions of Americans are going under everyday because of health care cost and millions are lacking any health care at all ? Yet this debacle does not begin with any type of program until 2014.

From the moment he took office Barack Obama who claimed to be the champion of change and the savior of America and Americans has completely ignored the people. His fellow Democrats in Congress who supposedly represent the people have followed with little exception their dear leader in ignoring the people who are the true Constitutional authority in our land.

We have protested, we have e-mailed, we have knocked down their doors and we have voiced our opposition to this socialist take over by the millions. Yet Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the vast majority of Democrats have chosen to disregard what we think and say and arrogantly force health care and many other unwanted spending down our throats, claiming to be the saviors of our Nation. While all the while being the most destructive force ever to attack our country.

We have been through many wars. We have been attacked on our own soil by enemies who wished our destruction. In every instance when attacked we rose as one Nation to defeat the enemy and preserve our freedom and liberty from the onslaught of aggression against our American way of life.

Though Obama and his Congressional prostitutes have not fired on bullet or sent one sortie against our country, their attack against freedom and liberty is as much a threat as any Pearl Harbor or 9/11. In fact it is a more grave and potentially devastating threat than any war or enemy from beyond our borders because it threatens the very foundation of our Nation and the Constitution which protects the rights of the people.

Abraham Lincoln once stated, "At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a Nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

The attack that Lincoln saw well over one hundred years ago is upon us. It is coming from among us coordinated by Barack Obama and systematically carried out by his two generals Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. As a true Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces Obama is weak and indecisive. But as CIC of the attack against our freedom and liberty he is shrewd and unwavering.

Obama and Congressional Democrats have chosen the American people and our Constitution as the enemy and they are relentless in their attacks against we the people and our founding principles. We are not helpless against this onslaught. Though at times it seem so since they so blatantly and deliberately ignore us.

The battle over health care may have been temporarily lost but the war is far from over. Our numbers in opposition to Obama's war against freedom and the people are growing everyday. We are the majority of Americans and even many of the Kool Aid drinkers who initially backed Obama are seeing the light and joining our millions.

2010 is our battlefield and the November election is our weapon. Throughout the year we must make every prostitute in service to Madame Pelosi and Pimp Reid miserable every moment until election day. Then we attack and attack by the millions as we win the war to take back our Nation from Obama and his socialists. We clean out the Congressional nest of vipers and elect true representatives of the people who stand for liberty and conservative values which are the true Constitutional values supported by the vast majority of Americans.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GLAD TIDINGS TO ALL

Christmas 2009 is here. Families all over our great land will gather to share gifts, food but most of all love. Love, the most important and magnificent part of Christmas. Love shared with family and friends. Love shared with neighbors and fellow workers.

It is love which made Christmas possible for each of us to celebrate every year. This love was not shared with gifts under a tree. Nor was it shared only with family and friends but to all mankind.

This love came wrapped in a little baby who was born in the most humble of circumstances, a lowly manger which was found in a stable because it was the only place that was open for His birth and He was born there because He came to this Earth to offer Himself to those who would accept Him. On that first Christmas Day a stable was all that was available so that is where he was born.

Today He is no different. Though He grew into a Man who freely sacrificed Himself on a cross and conquered the grave so that all mankind could have life through Him, He still only enters the hearts of those who are willing to accept the love that he has so freely given.

The politically correct may try to deny Him as they bombard us with Happy Holidays, but He loves them too and patiently waits for them to receive the love that He also gave for them. "For unto you is born this day in the City of David, a Saviour which is Christ the Lord."

It was for us that He came and it was love which compelled Him to come. It is that same love which He still offers to us today. A love that brings with it life eternal and peace which passes all understanding. And that my friends is the true reason and meaning of Christmas.

While all of the trappings, the lights, the tree, the gifts, the food, Santa, Ebenezer Scrooge are all grand, the list is almost endless, Christmas truly is about love. Born in manger to die on a cross, victorious over the grave so that all mankind may have life through Him.

Merry Christmas to each of you and God's richest blessings for years to come!

TWAS OBAMA'S NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Roland Burris, Barack Obama's replacement in the Senate attempted to be poetic on the Senate floor with his politcal version of Twas The Night Before Christmas. So in light of the Burris joke of a poem, I am reposting my version which is the real truth about the Reid, Pelosi and Obama agenda!


An original poem based on Twas The Night Before Christmas

Twas just days before Christmas when all through the land, the people were angered and taking things in hand.

Obama and his cronies in DC were in charge, and spending us bankrupt with deficits to large.

Pelosi with health care and Reid's Cap and Trade, making the ground work for socialism's path quickly laid.

Unemployment so high that it makes one's head spin, yet Obama and clan look to tax again and again.

When what began stirring in our land of the free, but conservatism proclaimed so the people could see.

Sarah Palin goes rogue in her book by the millions, and Glenn Beck yelling daily about Obama spending trillions.

Rush Limbaugh and Hannity six hours everyday, are leading the charge and showing the way.

So the lefties start yelling that conservatives are Nazis, and Obama tells the world that Americans are softies.

But the people don't buy into the liberal lie, and e-mail and protest at Tea Parties by and by.

They gather in cities and towns across the land, saying, " we won't stand still for this crap from Obama and clan."

Yet Obama continues with his fake, "hope and change," despite loud voices speaking against the deranged.

Libs all act deaf to the cry from the people, since their leader is nothing but a Karl Marx disciple.

But we the people still have a Constitution that gives us the power, and a fresh freedom fusion everyday and every hour.

The lefties may think that they can force us to bow, but Americans are free and this is our vow.

We will not stand by an watch them destroy, our land and our freedom with their socialist ploy.

We will not become just mind numb dependents, on government and spending run rampant unended.

Americans have always loved liberty and freedom you see, and we take our lives seriously in the land of the free.

So Obama and Nancy and Harry may still think, that they are in charge and that capitalism stinks.

But the people are still the greatness of our land, and we're standing firm and taking our stand.

No Marxist or socialist will force us to bend, even if they are elected and tell us they're our friend.

The President and Congress still answer to us all, and that my friend is the key to their great fall.

They may ignore us and call us all manner of names, but in the end we will be the victor of this political game.

So Merry Christmas to all you libs who work near the Potomac, your actions have made us all sick to our stomach.

And we tell you each one that we're calling for your end, for we are rising en mass to take you out in two thousand and ten!

OBAMA AND DEMOCRATS OWN HEALTH CARE AND WILL REGRET IT

The House passed their version late on a Saturday night. The Senate holds a 1 AM cloture vote with a final vote scheduled for Christmas Eve. All votes during a time when Americans are paying little to no attention to the news. If this disgusting health care bill is so ,"beneficial," to the American people then why have Democrats hidden behind closed doors in secret meetings, held votes when no one is watching and refused to allow the bills to be seen?

The obvious answer is that they know what they are doing goes against the will of the people and the only way they could force this debacle down our throats was to do it in secret and with deception. Once the Senate passes their version which was purchased with massive bribes that are as unconstitutional as the bill, the health care deception will move to a reconciliation with the House version which could become yet another war over the so called, "public option," which is popular in the House.

The illusion that there exists in the Democrat members of Congress more conservative or, "Blue Dog," Democrats has fallen by the wayside as Democrats fell in line with their leadership to pass this monstrosity. Now this entire debacle belongs to them and only them and they will live to regret it as the people have clearly spoken in Town Hall meetings, Tea Party protests and numerous polls that the government has no business in our health care.

Democrats have chosen to ignore the voice of the people and it will be the demise of their hold on Congress and the eventual demise of Barack Obama making him a one term failed President. 2010 will be a time for we the people to clean house and boot these incompetent and self indulging, spendaholics out of office. Their arrogance and total disregard for Constitutional principles and the will of the American people is their down fall and the crash will be heard next November at the polls.

Michale Steele the RNC Chairman has already indicated that Republicans will run on a platform which calls for the repeal of this health care monstrosity. A sound strategy for defeating Nancy Pelosi's House and Harry Reid's Senate sending a devastating message to Barack Obama that his arrogant socialist policy is NOT what the American people want for our Nation regardless of how he tries to spin and disguise it.

The American people are fed up and the passage of health care has become the final nail in their coffin. They have chosen to ignore us so we will take action with our vote and by our voice and protest make their last year in office the most miserable year of their arrogant and deceptive lives.

CHRISTMAS IS..... - THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

"There are many things from which I might have derived good, by which I have not profited, I dare say, Christmas among the rest. But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round as a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!''

So said Fred Holliwell, the nephew of Ebeneezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens," A Christmas Carol." Christmas is many things to many people. For some it is Santa Claus and toy building elves. For others it is spending time with family and friends while for some a time to share, "Christmas spirits."

But amidst all of the festivities the one fact that must not be forgotten and cannot be denied is that Christmas regardless of ones spiritual beliefs or lack there of is a celebration of a precious birth. A birth, that though it did not take place in December of our calendar, still effects all of mankind to this very day. A birth that changed history and in Whose life all history finds its center.

"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

So many years ago in Bethlehem this Child who was born, a Gift to all mankind in a lowly manger, who would grow to become the sacrifice that a just God required for the transgressions of man and in whose name forgiveness can be found. "And His name shall be called Jesus."

We in the United States have a particular reason to celebrate the birth of the Son of God for it is because of His birth, His death and His resurrection that this nation was born. The Pilgrims who landed at Plymouth in 1620 came to this land to find freedom to worship God as their hearts guided them thus our Founding Fathers in their wisdom placed the freedom to worship according to ones heart and conscience as our first and foremost right in this Nation that we love.

From the very birth of our nation Christmas has been a celebration of the birth of the King of Kings and though the politically correct have been trying to eliminate Him from our present day Christmas the fact still remains that He is the Reason for the Season. Without His birth there would be no Christmas nor the need for the celebration. Though we are a melting pot of many religions and many nationalities the underlying truth still remains that the birth of The Christ is why Christmas exists.

Yet in our freedoms this does not force anyone to celebrate His birth as Christians do for many in their religious or non-religious beliefs do not recognize Him yet we all live in the freedom and liberty that His birth allowed which in-turn gave life to our Nation in the search for religious freedom. So as you join with your families and friends this Christmas and you are among those who believe in the Son of God then give thanks to Him for His coming and all that we are, who we are as a Nation and His many blessings bestowed.

If your beliefs are of another nature then take a moment to reflect on this great land that we live in and give thanks in your own way for this land of the free and home of the brave. May the blessings of Christmas be yours now and throughout the New Year. Thank you each one for being a part of this blog. Merry Christmas to each of you and as Tiny Tim observed, " God bless us, everyone!"

SCROOGE PROVIDES A BREAK FROM OBAMA - MERRY CHRISTMAS

Obama backs a farce in Copenhagen. The Senate collapses over health care. Spending keeps digging a bigger hole. It's time for a break from the garbage and enjoy a little Christmas cheer! I love Charles Dickens, "A Christmas Carol." Every year I read this marvelous story of redemption during the Christmas season. I own just about every version of this classic tale that is available on DVD.

From Mickey's Christmas Carol and Rich Little's version to the great classic versions staring George C. Scott, Patrick Stewart and Alastair Sim. The musical version staring Kelsey Grammer and of course the Muppets. But my favorite stars Albert Finney in the 1970 musical, "Scrooge." I hope you enjoy this Christmas classic as you watch the finale with Scrooge and the entire East End of London singing, "Thank You Very Much." Merry Christmas.

THE LIBERAL LIE CARTOON GALLERY AND YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

What happens when adults are no longer at The White House ? Obama and the rest of the inexperienced children spend us into bankruptcy!





YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - WEST NEWTON, Pa. — Someone mailed an envelope filled with money to a western Pennsylvania bank that was robbed earlier this month, and the FBI suspects it was either the repentant robber or an acquaintance of his. Special Agent Jeff Killeen says the returned money doesn't cancel out the crime that was committed Dec. 9 at the PNC Bank in West Newton, a tiny borough about 20 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.


The FBI won't say how much the robber took, but it says the money in the envelope was about 80 percent of the amount stolen. It was separated into stacks of $5s, $10s, $20s and $100s. The FBI announced the mailing on Tuesday and says it is checking the package for fingerprints and other clues. They believe the robber is local because he was wearing a yellow Pittsburgh Steelers T-shirt.

I guess the robber lost the 20% betting on the Steelers to win. - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up






The only jobs that Obama is creating are those who will replace the current crooks in Congress in 2010 and the Obama himself in 2012 ! Now that's change I can believe in !






YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - AUSTIN — A burglary suspect with a shotgun who allegedly tried to hop on a public bus to flee has been arrested in Austin. Police say some items believed taken in the burglary, including a shotgun in a soft case, were recovered from the suspect. Travis

County Jail records indicated 26-year-old Erick James Robinson was in custody Thursday on felony charges of burglary of a habitation and being a felon in possession of a firearm. A security officer at an Austin apartment complex reported a burglary suspect was begin chased Monday night by a tenant. Two officers spotted the suspect attempting to board a Capital Metro bus and arrested him.

Hmmm Public Transportation as a get - a - way vehicle.....and he wonders why he got caught ?!?! - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up







The Copenhagen conference has become almost as big a joke as Global Warming and Al Gore.






YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - GRANTS PASS, Ore. — Scientists want to determine if killing the aggressive barred owl that has invaded old growth forests of the Northwest would help the protected spotted owl. Federal biologists are doing a formal study to decide whether to do the experiment, and laying out the terms if they go ahead. The study will be available for public comment and is expected to be completed by fall 2010.

"
This is to be done experimentally so we can nail down whether, in fact, removing barred owls could improve spotted owl demographics, and also to look into the feasibility of doing that," Fish and Wildlife biologist Robin Bown, who is overseeing the evaluation, said Wednesday.

Your federal tax dollars at work. And the government thinks they can fix health care ? - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

QUANTANAMO BAY MOVING TO ILLINOIS

It has become extremely obvious that opposition, protest, disagreement or dissent of any type style or manner means noting to Barack Obama. His arrogance and self indulging personality prompts him to do exactly what and only what he wants regardless of the consequences, ramifications or anger of the American people.

Poll after poll have shown that 61% of the people are against Obama's push for health care, yet Mr. Arrogance continues to keep this massive government take over debacle as the center piece of his Presidency completely ignoring the will of the people.

The Copenhagen Climate Conference is caving in faster than Al Gore can lie and the American people especially after the revelation of the Global Warming fraud are against cap and trade and any type of world agreement which transfers American sovereignty to other countries. Yet Mr. Arrogance is full steam ahead pushing The United States into legislation based on the fraud.

Now despite massive opposition to the moving of the detainees from Guantanamo Bay Cuba to ANYWHERE in the country or even moving them at all, Mr. Arrogance without Congressional approval has by Executive Order instructed acquisition by the government of a prison located in Illinois on the Western border of the State near the Mississippi River.

Obama has instructed that the government acquire the Thomson Correctional Facility which is located north of the small village of Thomson, Illinois whose population is less than one thousand residents. The maximum security facility is currently empty but a minimum security facility in the complex houses an average of 144 inmates.

While the facility is in a rural area it does not allow for the isolation situation which is one of the greatest attributes of Guantanamo Bay. The isolation of Gitmo at the Naval Base on the island of Cuba as well as the location actually on the base provides perfect security for detainees who are enemy combatants.

Moving them to Illinois eliminates the isolation and the added security of the Naval Base. But does this matter to Barack Obama ? Not in the least. His only concern is to satisfy the political correctness of the extreme left and the ACLU which have protested the use of Gitmo since it was opened as a detention facility for our enemies shortly after the beginning of the war.

Mr. Arrogance, Barack Obama once again has shown the American people and the world that he is going to do whatever he pleases regardless of the will of the people, the security of the Nation or the ramifications that his policy means to the future of The United States.

ONLY BARACK OBAMA CAN MAKE AN, "F," A, B+"

The complete and total arrogance of Barack Obama shined in all of its hypocritical glory as he sat down in an interview with his pal Oprah Winfrey. When Oprah asked Obama how he would grade himself on his first year in office he without hesitation gave himself a, "solid B+," and added that if health care passes he would raise the grade to an A-.

Now this is the type of teacher that I would have loved to have had during my school years. A teacher who sees total failure and complete pandemonium as successful and passing the grade. Obama has turned a struggling economy which had already passed the toughest hurdles BEFORE he took office and passed the most irresponsible legislation in history costing Americans 767 billion dollars and he considers this a success thus lengthening a recessive economy.

He has toured the world and through his foreign policy weakened America and making our nation a laughing stock among most Nations who had once respected our country and he calls this success! He has received and accepted a Nobel prize which was nothing more that an dig at his predecessor George Bush and he calls this success!

He has taken a 450 billion dollar deficit and tripled it while creating more debt than every President before him combined and he calls this success! His domestic policy has raised unemployment to record levels and he calls this success!

The B+ grade he arrogantly gives himself must be based on the largest curve in grading history! Obama has seriously damaged the future of this Nation for generations to come and he calls it a success. Then again I forgot who I am discussing here. A Marxist who believes that government is the only answer to everything. A man who does not believe in American exceptionalism and cannot fathom winning a war but only appeasing an enemy.

So with this in mind, then he has succeeded in doing exactly what he intended to do. Belittle America and destroy our economy so that we are forced to bow to other Nations while appeasing our enemies and forcing the American people to bow to an all powerful socialist government. So in actuality with this as his goal Barack Obama deserves an A+.

308,143,149 WAYS BARACK OBAMA HAS FAILED AMERICA - THE SUNDAY COMMENTARY

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Article II, Section 1 United States Constitution.

With this oath 44 men have before God and their fellow citizens proclaimed that they would uphold and defend the Constitution and the people of the United States of America as President. The prayer, "so help me God," is believed to have been added by George Washington and has been used as part of this solemn vow that Presidents have taken upon entering office.

Barack Hussein Obama took the is solemn oath on January 20, 2009. As with each of his predecessors he took the oath to become the leader of our Nation whose duty as that leader is to be the Constitutional voice for all Americans and as such also the protector of the country and the sacred traditions of freedom and liberty that have been the hallmark of America since its birth.

Obama has failed in every move he has made as President to perform his duty in preserving the Constitution and protecting and defending the people of our great land. As a result he has failed in his office and failed every citizen of this country who he has sworn to represent and protect. Some argue that it is too early to evaluate whether Obama is a successful or failed President. I disagree.

Upon taking the Oath of Office every President from that moment becomes a public person who no longer belongs to just themselves and their family but also to the American people and as such open to evaluation and praise or criticism each moment that they hold the highest office in the land. Sure as with every President there is a, "honeymoon," where the Chief Executive is given a grace period to allow him time to get his feet wet in the office. But that grace period is long over and Obama jumped into the fire in many respects faster than others which very well may have shortened that, "honeymoon."

Most Presidents allow for time to pass before proposing major legislation or making major policy sweeps which change the course of the country and the official view of the government. Obama did not. In fact he had only been in office one day when he made the first major policy shift which had tremendous ramifications for the Nation and the protection of the people. His announcement that he would close Guantanamo within one year changed the course of the way the government viewed terrorism.

It is obvious because of the political and logistical problems involved with closing Gitmo and the fact that no one wants the killers, Gitmo will not close by the original date of January 21, 2010. But this one policy change prompted the Obama administration to take terrorism from an act of war to becoming once again only a criminal offense and as such handled by the courts and lawyers rather than the military.

Which directly led to the decision to hold the trial of KSM and the four other 9/11 planners in New York in a civilian court rather than a military tribunal. This move directly endangers New York City, its citizens and the people of the country since the trial will become a recruiting tool for Al Qaeda as the, "defendants," will have the opportunity to plead their case against American before the world.

The Gitmo announcement also led to the failure to accept and recognize the Fort Hood murders as a terrorist act and the move by many to actually call the killer, Nidal Hasan a victim rather than the murdering terrorist that he is. It also gives Obama the deniability that his weak and disastrous approach to terrorism has resulted in the first attack on American soil since 9/11.

Obama endangered the American people financially with the, "stimulus," package pushed through so quickly that even those who voted for the disaster had no clue as to what it contained and the obviously disastrous results it has caused. Spending and our deficit went through the roof because of the package and other uncalled for spending by Obama which has increased unemployment to record levels, devalued the dollar which has weakened a struggling economy and hurt the pocket books of every citizen.

Confidence in our economy has never been as low as it is now both by citizens and the world. Obama does not seem to care that he bows literally to world leaders and has forced the American people by his actions to bow before other countries as we are no longer considered the financial leader of the world. This too is a major policy shift by Obama who views our Nation as a partner who should bend to the whims of other Nations rather than a leader who allies with Nations seeking their support in our causes and the advancement of freedom to oppressed people.

This shift by Obama creates an enslavement of the American people to ideas that are counter to our Nations best interests and our Constitution which clearly identifies the sovereignty of The United States. A sovereignty that Obama is all to willing to give up to become a global welfare agency shifting American wealth to other countries to promote an agenda whose very premise of Global Warming has been unintentionally debunked by the people who created the fraud in the first place. But by ignoring the facts Obama can push his appeasement policy and bow to the world.

His push for health care is nothing more that an unconstitutional move to control the American people. Every bill that is before the Congress does not solve the problem nor create reform but rather is designed to place the government over the health decisions of the people and force health care from the private sector to the disaster of government control. This one policy move by Obama directly effects every American and takes away our freedom to decide how we care for our families and ourselves.

I ask you, is this protecting and defending the Constitution ? The document which establishes freedom and liberty for Americans by insuring the right by law for the people to have the ability to govern our own lives in the manner we see fit without fear of oppression by an all powerful and overbearing government. Not at all, in fact Obama's every move has been to either usurp the Constitution or destroy the very foundational principles which establish our freedom.

Obama has failed every citizen of our country. He has failed to uphold any statement made in his Oath of Office. He has failed to represent the American people both here and overseas. He has failed to protect the Nation by his appeasement actions which have allowed Iran to become much more aggressive and Afghanistan to be a theater of war where our soldiers hands are tied by dangerous rules of engagement dictated by this administration and the addition of 30,000 troops will not change how they are not allowed to fight. Soldiers fight to win not appease and Obama does not understand this fact. Soldiers also strive for victory without signaling when they will leave BEFORE that victory is achieved.

308, 143, 149 citizens of this country are less safe under Barack Obama. 308,142,149 citizens are losing their freedom under Barack Obama. 308,143,149 citizens are facing a questionable future because of Barack Obama. So is Barack Obama a failed President? Absolutely, but more importantly than his failure are the results of that failure which have the future prosperity and the freedom and safety of the American people and our Nation hanging in the balance.

OBAMA FAILINGS BRING A YEARNING FOR BUSH

When George W. Bush left office his approval ratings were at 34% according the the last Gallup Poll taken of his Presidency. With Barack Obama's approval rating now setting a new low for the modern Presidency at this point in an administration, a new poll has garnered a surprising result.

44% of Americans according to the poll now prefer George W. Bush to Barack Obama as President of The United States. As Obama's numbers are crashing in conjunction with his failing Presidency and the utter turmoil that he has wreaked in Washington, Americans are finally understanding that Bush was a significantly better President than the media portrayed him in their attempt to destroy the Bush Presidency.

Americans are also placing the blame where it rightfully belongs for our massive spending and deficits which have tripled since Obama took office. Obama continually claims that the spending and deficit problems were inherited from Bush but when the final Bush deficit is compared to the current Obama deficit, it is obvious that Obama has exploded the debt, increased the deficit 3 times more than Bush and sent spending through the roof.

It is a shame that George Bush was not appreciated until after he left office, but in light of the mess that Obama has placed our Nation in it is also a welcome change to see that Bush is finally being appreciated by the people who he protected and defended so well during his eight years as President.

YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - TOLEDO, Ohio — A book has been mailed back to an Ohio library after six decades, accompanied by an anonymous letter of remorse. The biography "Napoleon" by Emil Ludwig recently arrived at Toledo's main library, with a brief note that read: "I removed this book from your stacks in 1949 and did not check it out. I apologize. It's an excellent book and in good condition."

The person who signed it "An ex-Toledoan" also wrote, "Carrying guilt for 60 years is a terrible thing." Library spokeswoman Rhonda Sewell says the package, with its Beverly Hills, Calif., postmark, came as a shock.

YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up - FERNDALE, Mich. — He could be called the "Bad Breath Bandit." Police in a Detroit suburb are looking for a bank robber who tellers say has crooked yellow teeth and particularly bad breath. The Detroit Free Press reports that Ferndale police say the man hit the same Charter One branch in October and again last week.

Lt. William Wilson says tellers remember the man as tall, thin and "having very offensive breath and real yellow teeth." Witnesses also say he looks and smells dirty. Police say he showed bank employees a note that demanded money. He implied he had a gun but tellers didn't see any weapon. The suspect escaped with about $1,000 in the latest robbery.

So if they catch this guy, will the police line him up for identification and have the tellers smell his breath. "Yes officer he's the one I would recognize that smell anywhere!" - YoU cAn'T mAkE tHiS sTuFf Up

Hook's 15-year Sharp Cheddar, produced in 1994, went up for sale in a handful of outlets on Friday and has proven popular, said cheese maker Tony Hook.

"It started moving a lot faster than we expected," said Hook, 57, who — along with his wife and brother — runs Hook's Cheese Co in Mineral Point, Wisconsin. "People have been so excited about it." The cheddar began as part of a gigantic batch that weighed 5,200 pounds.

OBAMA LOWEST APPROVAL RATING IN HISTORY

47% according to Gallup. 47% according to Rasmussen. No matter how one looks at it Barack Obama has the lowest approval rating at this point in his Presidency THAN ANY OF HIS PREDECESSORS! His combination of constant apologies for America and his idiocy in claiming that our Nation can spend its way out of a recession have caused his approval to drop like a rock and there is no end in sight.

His pet projects of health care and Cap and Trade are all well down the list of issues that Americans are concerned with which shows a massive disconnect by Obama with the people and a partisan push to pass his socialist agenda regardless of the voice and will of the people.

His inexperience and arrogance show in every speech and action that Obama makes. His agenda is very unpopular and he cannot sell it to the people. In fact the more he talks the worse his numbers get. Every time he opens his mouth the great, "hope and change," candidate who hypnotized audiences with his rhetoric and no substance during last years campaign has become a President who is over exposed and who has lost the confidence of the American people on every issue.

While most Democrats still support his polices and agenda, Independents who were key in his election are no longer impressed with Obama. In fact only a pittance in the low 30's still somewhat support Obama. His lame attempts to try and twist every issue to politically make everyone happy has angered many on the left while disgusting those on the right who see through the hypocrisy of his rhetoric.

Gallup has been polling Presidential approval since FDR. In the 71 years since this poll started Obama has the lowest approval at this point and in most cases he is ten or more points lower that every President all the way back to Truman.

Next week Obama heads overseas once again to attend the Climate Change conference in Copenhagen and then accept the undeserved Nobel Peace Prize in which only 26% of Americans believe he deserves. His presence at the Copenhagen conference also has little support from Americans especially in light of the Climategate e-mails which show beyond doubt that Global Warming is a hoax and a fraud, yet Obama chooses to ignore the facts and push his agenda.

Presidential approval ratings tend to fluctuate greatly but Obama's trend has been consistently downward. The approval of his policy dropped into the forties late in the Spring and his personal approval soon followed. He obviously is not changing his massive spending, government expanding approach to governing which is extremely unpopular with Americans. So has Obama bottomed out at 47% ? Not likely. While the numbers may fluctuate up and down the unpopularity of WHAT he is doing will keep his numbers low and hurt his parties chances of maintaining majority status in 2010 and make his an unpopular one term Presidency.

HARRY REID THE HATE MONGERING RACIST IDIOT

When the Tea Party movement first began earlier this year Senate majority leader and resident Senate idiot was among those who called those protesting racists, Nazis and other such hate mongering names and accusations. So hate filled Harry once again takes his hatred of Americans to the Senate floor comparing those who oppose health care in the Senate to law makers who once opposed ending slavery and stood in opposition to the Civil Rights legislation of the sixties.

Reid's disgusting accusations were aimed at Republicans but his examples which have absolutely no comparison to the opposition to health care are refering to Democrats and NOT Republicans. When Congress was moving to abolish slavery in the after math of the Civil war it was Democrats and NOT Republicans who opposed abolishing slavery.

In the sixties when Democrat President Lyndon Johnson was struggling to pass Civil Rights legislation, he was frustrated because members of his own party with Senator Robert Byrd, (D WV), heading up the opposition , fought Johnson every step of the way and the ONLY reason the legislation passed was because Republicans joined Johnson in pushing through the bill fighting Democrat opposition.

Now the major difference in the health care legislation is that Republicans are on the side of the American people as poll after poll show that the majority of the people oppose health care legislation while Harry Reid spews the lie that he is doing what the people want. Reid once again tries to use the race card in order to lie about his legislation and will continue to stand with the sinking ship of health care and go down with the ship. The majority of the people of Nevada are against Reid and his plan and Reid obviously could care less. As unemployment continues to rise Harry Reid will be among those in the unemployment line after the 2010 election. Good riddance!

OBAMA SLAMMED ON AFGHANISTAN FROM THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT

Barack Obama's weak and indecisive action in Afghanistan is receiving bad reviews from both the right and the left. Both are angered by the announcement of July 2011 as the beginning of Obama's left appeasing and liberal vote getting pull out no matter what the situation is on the ground.

The far left is angered simply BECAUSE he is sending troops. Of course they would only be satisfied if someone destroyed The United States and rebuilt it into a Marxist, "utopia." Which is why they like Obama because he is championing their cause.......at least until he decided to send more troops.

But even many liberal commentators are confused by the stupid policy of Obama in announcing the pull out. Here from the left is the first comments made on CBS by Bob Schieffer :

“I think … we’ll look back on this and say THIS WAS THE DEFINING MOMENT OF THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY. This was the night when Barack Obama took full ownership of the war in Afghanistan. We’re going to have 100,000 troops there, and more than half of them will have been sent there by the president. … How do you on the one hand say: ‘We need to send these troops over there; it’s critical; this is in our national-security interest to do this.’ But then say: ‘But we’re only going to keep them there for 18 months; we’re going to start to withdraw them after 18 months’? I just don’t understand the logic of how that works. It seems to me that what the president did tonight was try to make a speech that had a little something for everybody … I don’t understand, Katie, how you can set a deadline on what you’re going to do. This is not a football game, where the time runs out. To win this war, you have to defeat the enemy.”

And now for the response from the right the always brilliant Charles Krauthammer:



Many including Bill O'Reilly argue that when push comes to shove and July 2011 comes around and the job in Afghanistan is not finished, which will be the case, Obama will not begin the pull out as announced. Obama is a massive political animal and he knows that the only way he can receive the backing of the lefties in his party which are the base, is to pull out of Afghanistan. His pull out will take place because it will be politically expedient for his try at re-election.

Though the fall out here in our country is massive over Obama's strategy, there are thousands of Islamic rag heads in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan who are praising Allah and dancing there fanatical jig in thanksgiving for the aid an comfort given to there fascist cause by Barack Hussein Obama. All they have to do now is sit back and wait until July 2011.

OBAMA TO TALIBAN AND AL QAEDA, "HANG IN THERE WE WILL BE GONE IN JULY 2011"

Barack Obama signaled to our enemies and the world what most of us have known and/or suspected since before he took office, he has no idea what he is doing and his, "strategy," for Afghanistan emphasis this fact. On the surface the addition of 30,000 troops sounds good until you read the fine print and what Obama said while announcing this, "surge."

First, the pathetic announcement that The United States would begin pulling out of Afghanistan in July of 2011 clearly signals to the enemy that all they need do is wait eighteen months until we leave and then step in and take over the country. Even an imbecile understands that telling an enemy when you plan to leave the field of battle only allows that enemy to hide and bide its time until deescalation.

Common sense demands that a military action never sets a specific end date, but then no one has ever accused Barack Obama of having any common sense. Once again Obama fails to take heed the lessons of Vietnam. At one point the Vietcong were on the verge of surrendering because we had them on the run. Then it was announced that The United States would begin drawing down our troops and the Vietcong pulled back and went into hiding until the draw down was complete. Within weeks after our signaled withdrawal was over the Vietcong overpowered South Vietnam and have controlled the country since.

Signaling a specific end date also places our soldiers at a clear disadvantage as well as greater danger since troops will now out of necessity be forced to find where the enemy is hiding rather than fight them in the open. Also any war is only won with overwhelming force. 30,000 additional troops sounds great but the slow deployment strategy has the additional forces trickling into the theater for six to eight months which again hampers commanders ability to place great force in a strong offensive with large troop numbers.

Obama also emphasised that the additional troops would be concentrating more on training Afghan forces rather than defeating the enemy. Once again hampering command ability to fight with an overwhelming force and defeat the enemy before they have opportunity to slither into hiding in anticipation of our withdrawal in eighteen months.

It took more than three months to develop this strategy which is weak and very much designed to appease Obama's liberal base and a political maneuver rather than a strategy for victory, defeating our enemy, destroying Al Qaeda and the Taliban and leave a stable and secure Afghanistan free of terrorist influence. It seems that Obama's goal is to leave without victory and offer the Afghans as a lamb of sacrifice for the country to once again becomes a terrorist safe haven after the enemy waits out Obama's signaled end date of surrender. A danger to the world, a danger to the Afghans and most importantly a danger to The United States.

BARACK OBAMA - NO CREDIBILITY, THE NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN OF OUR TIME

Barack Obama using West point as his stage to attempt to look credible, (never happen), will announce his Afghanistan decision. An increase of 30-35 thousand troops whose deployment will be gradual over the next year. So this is not a surge but a slow and agonizing deployment which is designed more to prepare for an exit than a victory.

Many who read this do not remember Vietnam and the problems that took place with that war. I am not going to attempt to rehash Vietnam nor try and make comparisons with Obama's Afghanistan move except for this one observation which I believe applies to the current situation. Lyndon Johnson chose to deploy troops into Vietnam at a slow pace rather than an overwhelming force designed to defeat the enemy and finish the job in victory.

Obama seems to be taking a similar path in Afghanistan concerned more with the Afghan governments problems rather than achieving total victory as quickly as possible with an overwhelming force. If he in like manner follows the Johnson example in prosecuting the war as he is in slow deployment then his next step will be to micromanage rather than allow commanders in theatre do what is necessary to win. Quickly making Afghanistan into a political war.

His reasoning can be nothing more than to appease the 20% of his party who are far left anti-war moonbats who will not accept ANY United States involvement militarily for any situation. Which places Obama by choice into a corner of his own creation trying to politically satisfy his far left base while giving the illusion that he is willingly prosecuting a war as he puts it, "of necessity," which is quickly getting out of control.

If he was serious about defeating Al Qaeda and the Taliban, then the troop deployment would be fast and overwhelming in order to get boots on the ground in force to win. Obama does not want to win he wants to find a way out while looking like he knows what he is doing. If he had any intention of winning he would not have take more than three months to decide what he would do and it would not have been a slow bleed scenario but a fast effective strategy for victory.

I hope I am wrong in my assessment but history shows that only overwhelming force wins a war. The recent surge in Iraq which has provided victory and stability in what was once thought to be a losing cause proves that quick deployment in large numbers brings success. Numbers will not work unless they are in theatre en mass. That is how a war is won and Obama obviously either does not believe this or chooses to ignore it for political expedience. Judging by his political performance thus far as President my guess is that this decision is based on political expedience and nothing more.
