  Obama Gets Easy Out of NYC KSM Trial Fiasco 

  

  Why do you think Feinstein, Schumer, and Bloomberg suddenly came out against the New York City trial of KSM? Is it because they suddenly had a stroke of genius in realizing that this whole ridiculous stunt will cost the American people an estimated half billion dollars? Doubtful, since that data has been available since day one. Since well before Holder made the decision to hold the trial in NYC.

  Is it because of the inherent risk to the lives of American people by making NYC and it’s population an even more tempting target to radical muslims? Absolutely not, because it was never a concern to Holder, Obama, or the others who would like to see this country embarrassed and punished.

  The change in attitude didn’t happen until after the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts. With this wave of public discontent with obama and his marxist/totalitarian/anti-American policies, the President realized that an attack on NYC would likely be blamed on him and his wreckless policies against the United States.

  Feinstein, Schumer, and Bloomberg were called upon to provide cover for obama and his decision to hold the trials in New York City. Apparently obama isn’t quite ready to throw Holder under the bus as he will be a key player when the President enacts his gun control tactics later on in his term.

  Obama could have easily used Holder to provide cover for this major screw up, since it was originally designed to he Holder’s decision alone, but instead he sent out Bloomberg, Feinstein, and Schumer to oppose the idea so obama could look like the ever so concerned logical thinker when he comes out against holding the trials in NYC.

  First he can blame Holder for making the decision, then he can claim to be working with the Congress and Mayor Bloomberg in reversing “Holder’s decision.” Even though it was obama’s policy, he can walk away protected from any blame thanks to his cronies.

    I have a question: if another blogger, me perhaps, concludes independently that moving the KSM trial is in response to the Scott Brown election, will you allege plagiarism?

    I get the misplaced sarcasm. It is somewhat snarky and offensive considering what you already did. The answer is no. I’m not an unreasonable person. However if you choose to plagiarize* my work and post it as your own again as you did on your blog Victoria Taft (Captured Sunday Jan. 31, 2010), I most certainly will make an issue of it. The correction you made to the attribution of the article since I contacted you about it 2 days ago has been duly noted and is appreciated. Hope that helps to clarify for you. Thanks.

  Obama uses Teleprompters to talk to Sixth Graders?? 

  

  Presidential Teletubbie-prompter?

  The President along with Education Secretary Arne Duncan showed up at the Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Va., on Tuesday Jan. 19, 2010, and brought along their teleprompters to speak to a classroom of 11 year old kids. The President, his staff, and body guards brought two teleprompters into the classroom along with the official podium displaying the Presidential seal to make a speech to 30 sixth graders! I’m sure they posted several “Dear Leader” posters on the way out as well.

  This is the Whitehouse account of the event.

  “This morning the President and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan paid a visit to Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church, Virginia where they had a chat with about 30 6th grade students. The conversation put a face to the people they were trying to help with the President’s latest investment of more than a billion dollars in next year’s budget to amp up the President’s “Race to the Top” program – a competition to incentivize success that has already generated an overwhelming response from states, with over 30 states expected to compete for first-round funding….”

  I think I speak for all 6th graders when I say:

  “Huh?”

  Wait till they hear about obama’s new tax plan for anyone who gets over 45 cents a week in milk money!!

  Is Haiti just another “Crisis” for the progressives? 

  

  -AP Photo

  Knowing what we already know about obama and his close cadre of marxist/maoist associates, you have to wonder exactly how they will exploit the earthquake in Haiti to their advantage.

  I’m sure you remember back in March of ‘09 when Rahm Emanuele made the repulsive comment regarding the economy and our countries orchestrated financial meltdown: “You can never let a good crisis go to waste.” A line which was taken directly from Saul Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals.” Hillary Clinton was also quoted as making the same statement.

  With more and more devastation being revealed daily in Haiti and the human toll increasing by the hour, I find myself wondering just what the progressives have in mind in order to leverage this “Crisis” into political hay for the left.

  A hundred million in aid is a good start. And I would argue that most Americans including myself would not object to aid being given to any country in desperate need after a natural disaster. Just as Americans have historically given above and beyond any other country in history, we are once again providing aid and rescue to those in need.

  But, with these political opportunists bent on bringing down the United States in Washington, you know that won’t be the end of it.

  Making Haiti a ward of the United States in some way would work wonders in advancing the leftist agenda. With millions more people on the public dole it would suit obama’s purpose of strapping tax payers with a whole new welfare state totally dependent on big government. A built-in democratic majority!

  It would also increase the already huge burden on our healthcare system since Haiti is full of disease, as one of the largest HIV/Aids stricken nations on earth. Such a burden on the American tax payer would fit right in with what obama / pelosi / reid have already worked hard to orchestrate here in the past year. A total collapse of our current system.

  How about statehood? If there is any way the progressives can turn 9.8 million Haitian earthquake victims into voters, you can be sure they will.

  It fits right into everything our community organizer president and his progressive partners stand for based on the teachings of our president’s mentor and master “Organizer” Saul Alinsky.

  Suggested Read:
  “Barack Obama and Alinsky’s Rules for Psychopaths”
  By James Lewis – AmericanThinker.com

  Alinsky’s dedication in his book “Rules For Radicals”

  “Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer!

  -Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals (New York: Vintage Books), March 1972 edition, p. xxii. (Original publication was in 1971.)

  Leftists Crushing the American Spirit. 

  Bill Whittle says it well in this video from Pajamas Media. The leftists would like nothing more than to crush the enthusiasm for freedom and American ingenuity. Part of their plan is to do just that in order to make the “Capitalists” believe there is no hope and no use in trying anymore. They perpetrate a financial disaster and then blame it on Capitalism. Their own solution is nothing more than crony capitalism which is designed to destroy all possible trust in capitalism as a viable, workable option. Their intent is to destroy capitalism by perpetrating disaster and hopelessness on the American people, while at the same time crushing innovation and personal ambition. The only choices they will leave us is government dependence for everything.

  It’s the People’s Seat! 

  It’s the sound byte of the decade but you won’t hear it on the news. Not like you did when Lloyd Bentsen replied to Dan Quayle in the 1988 Vice Presidential debates with the now infamous “I knew Jack Kennedy, and you’re no Jack Kennedy..” remark. That was all over the network media and still is to this day.

  No you won’t hear this because it was a Republican putting a liberal in his place in a way that never happens these days.

  Recently in a debate between State Senator Scott Brown, and former Mass A.G. Martha Coakley, liberal moderator and so-called journalist David Gergen asks U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown if he plans to sit in Ted Kennedy’s seat and vote against health care reform…Below is the actual clip of Gergen’s question and Senator Brown’s response. All I can say is Well done Senator Brown, well done! And No Telepromper Needed!

  Here it is in case you missed it:

  Massachusetts A Jab at Obamunism? 

  The upcoming special election in Massachusetts next Tuesday could be as pivotal as the battles of Concord and Lexington were at the beginning of the Revolutionary War.

  Republican state senator Scott Brown is in a dead heat with Democrat Martha Coakley in a race for the recently vacated Kennedy senate seat.

  If Brown wins this election in the heavily Democrat Massachusetts it will send a chill down the collective spines of all incumbent Democrats across the country, and could spur even more defections, party switches, and resignations amongst Democrats. If nothing else it will send a message to DC that America is indeed rising against the leftist jihad being perpetrated by the obama administration and the reid peolosi congress.

  We warned them and they chose to belittle us and smear us. We told them to reign in the communism and they told us to go to hell. We continued to show our disgust for their anti-American agenda, and they continued to show their disgust for Americans.

  Whether Brown wins or not, the fact that he is within one point of overtaking Coakley in the polls is truly earth shaking in a blue state like Massachusetts. (Rasmussen has them at 48-47)

  And I can’t help but point out the sweet irony here. You might remember how the leftists in the media and the Democrat party were going on and on about passing health care reform for Teddy. How it was Ted Kennedy’s last wish that health care reform be passed. Well if Brown wins, it could be Kennedy’s seat that keeps health care from passing out of committee. The most they could do is to pass the Senate version only which is much less intrusive than the communistic House Bill.

  The Democrats would lose their filibuster proof super majority, and we would have Ted Kennedy to thank for it. AAAH sweet irony…

  Keep a sharp eye on the Massachusetts special election on January 19th. It very well may be the next “Shot heard round the world!”

  The Stimulus Diet 

  

  American Couch Potato

  Using the President’s own ingenious formula I would like to announce that I have single-handedly solved America’s obesity problem with my all new “Stimulus Diet.”

  The President’s Logic:

  Barrack Obama says his $825 billion stimulus plan will “create” or “save” 3 to 4 million jobs.

  It’s a testament to the mind of this man when he’s the only one who could have formulated such an incredible calculation.

  Anyway, I ‘m so inspired by this brilliant new “Free-Style” way of thinking that I created a revolutionary new diet plan based on that same Obama logic, and for the sake of the nations health, I would like to share it with all of America.

  My New  “Stimulus Diet” plan based on President Obama’s brilliant logic:

  Using the Stimulus Diet Plan in the past year I can honestly say that I have “Lost” or “Not Gained” over One Hundred Pounds. That’s it! It really is amazing. And it’s really that simple! Now you too can eat all you want this holiday season and still feel good about yourself thanks to President Obama and the all new “Stimulus Diet.”

  What’s so great about it is just like the President’s Stimulus plan,  any Congress person can use it any time they want. And now you can too!

  In fact I am so inspired that I have decided my New Year’s “Hope and Change” Resolution for 2010 will be to “LOSE” or “NOT GAIN” Two Hundred Pounds! Maybe even Three Hundred Pounds…What the heck, the sky’s the limit! See how easy it is with the new “Stimulus Diet?”

  Barrack Obama has got to be the smartest guy around. Now I understand why he won the Nobel Prize, and I didn’t.

  America’s obesity problems  finally solved. Thank you President Obama.

    Is my math off or could they simply give the 4 million people who are unemployed $206,000 +. They could then require them to spend it on say kitty cats, beer and TV’s, thereby creating a lot of jobs in the beverage, veterinary and manufacturing industries.

  Party Crashers or Undocumented Guests? 

  

  Hanging out with Joe.

  I don’t understand why the Whitehouse is so upset about the 2 party crashers at obama’s state dinner the other night.

  Is it really appropriate and politically correct to call them party crashers just because they trespassed on obama? Does that make them criminals? Isn’t that discrimination? Shouldn’t they be rewarded for such bold and brave behavior? Maybe they were just trying to feed their family?

  I would suggest that it’s more appropriate to call them “Un-documented Guests!”

  Just because they weren’t officially invited doesn’t mean they should  be treated like criminals…Maybe they should get free health care, free housing, free legal services, and free Whitehouse green-cards so next time they can enter legally, and bring their whole families along too.

  How can obama be mad at them just because they crossed over some arbitrary man made border? They were only there to do the things that regularly invited guests didn’t want to do. (Like hang out with Joe Biden!!)

  How can the Whitehouse punish these poor oppressed individuals? Where is the ACLU???

  Billy Mays – A Hero to Capitalism 

  

  "But wait...There's no more..."

  I’m so saddened by the untimely and tragic death of the man in the trademark blue shirt, Billy Mays. Love him or not Billy Mays epitomized what it means to be an American. Or at least what it once meant. Rising from nothing to a wealthy self made man, using pure grit, hard work, and entrepreneurial fortitude. At a time when “Wealth” is a bad word, Billy Mays was never ashamed of making money the old fashioned way.

  Most people would see his commercials and wouldn’t give it a second thought. Many would probably even flip the channel to avoid his pitch altogether. His voice was a bit abrasive and sometimes annoying, but if you stopped for a moment to see what was actually going on, you might see why Billy Mays was one of my heroes of Capitalism, and why I quietly admired him, his message, and what he stood for.

  Watching Billy in action was inspiring to me as a conservative, and advocate of the free market. He was a dedicated family man with a purpose in life and a drive to succeed.

  Never forgetting his modest roots, he was also very generous with his self-made fortune helping many friends and charitable causes along the way.

  Billy would travel the country seeking out ingenious new ideas and then using purely capitalistic tools, he would do all the necessary market research on whatever product he chose to promote.

  When he was completely confident that he had a winning product, he would focus all of his energy and money making instincts into making that the most important product on the planet! He would then bring his staff together for the production of commercials and infomercials and sell the living hell out of it! What a great Capitalist!

  Billy had a tried and proven method and he would do it over and over and over again. Making millions of beautiful, wonderful American dollars in the process. He loved doing it and I loved watching him. It was truly inspiring to me.

  Billy Mays was responsible for making millionaires out of many ingenious American inventors using his raw talent, hard work, long hours away from his family, and capitalistic instincts. He was the essence of what it means to work hard and make it in this beautiful Republic of the United States of America.

  Yes, American Capitalism lost one of it’s most visible heroes last week, and I will truly miss him. A rising star taken from us at a time when his capitalistic spirit was most needed by all of us. Billy Mays was truly an inspiration to me.

  He was one of a dying breed and my prayers go out to Billy and his family. Rest in Peace Billy Mays.
