    Obama’s Health Care Bombers 

    Whether he’s a fundamental muslim or not, obama is definitely borrowing some tactics from radical islam by ordering democrats in the house to vote in favor of his revolutionary hostile takeover of the United States in the form of radically nationalized government run health care, when public opinion is opposed to it by large margins.

    Congressional Democrats are notoriously tone deaf when it comes to issues like freedom and liberty, but the one thing they do know is how to survive politically, and this ain’t how you do it.

    barack obama is using house democrats as suicide bombers to accomplish his political objective.

    By forcing democrats to walk the plank he is literally sending them in strapped and loaded with one objective: Destroy the enemy.

    “CAPITALISM” and the American way of life with no regard for women and children. No regard for the elderly and the infirm, and no regard for middle class citizens who will certainly be blown up for the sake of obama’s leftist totalitarian revolution.

    The objective in his own words is to: “Fundamentally change America.”

    Just like radical Islam, I’m sure he’s promising his suicide bombers huge payoffs in return for their sacrifices.

    It will be interesting to see what kinds of jobs these democrats end up with after they’re voted out of office in November. I have no doubt they’ll be awarded with ambassadorships, judge-ships, lucrative lobbying positions, cushy 6 figure no-show consulting jobs for General Electric as well as the health care industry.

    If the democrats go through with this scheme to pass obama’s bill using the nuclear option, it proves that we no longer have a functioning Constitutional Representative Republic as set forth by the founders, but a dysfunctional European style  democracy where majority rules.

    Just what the democrats have wanted for years..

    “Look What I’m Reading…Watcha gonna do about it?” 

    So have you ever wondered what your president reads in his spare time? If you want to know about the author you can get some info on him here:

    Fareed Zakaria

    Oh Zakaria is quite a guy…A real America lover.  Just like all of obama’s friends. He’s got all the answers about how wonderful the world will be once the United States is reduced to the level of a third world nation. Or worse.

    Nice to see that the president is such a big fan who openly flaunts his intentions by showing the book cover to the entire world.

    By showing us that he is reading this book it’s either a sign of an arrogant ego that would dwarf Mount Everest, or he is completely stupid! Every one of his policies suggests that he totally agrees with the title of the book.

    Is he challenging us? Or does he truly think our demise is a done deal and we can’t stop him? Why does he want us to see that he is reading this book..? By flaunting his obvious intentions, is he flipping Americans the bird..?

    Obama Throws Dalai Lama Out With the Trash 

    Dalai Lama being escorted out the back door of the Whitehouse Thursday.

    WASHINGTON – Last Thursday King Obama quitely hosted the Dalai Lama for a very subdued visit to the Whitehouse.

    In October obama ‘dissed’ the Dalai Lama so as not to annoy Communist Chinese leaders prior to his visit to Beijing in November, even though he ended up getting nothing from the Chinese in return.

    In fact not only did he ‘dis’ the deposed political and spiritual leader of the freedom loving Tibetan people, he actually went to China and bowed to the communist leader there.

    The media claims that it’s nothing more than symbolism when obama bows to communists and dictators around the world. Symbolism is very important to governments and diplomacy.

    Ok fine, that may be true but I can’t remember another President in my lifetime with a policy of bowing to communists and tyrannical dictators for any reason.

    It’s true that when Presidents put on strange hats and don unusual garb in foreign lands it’s all done for ceremony, tradition, courtesy, and diplomacy. I get that.

    Symbolism itself is a tradition. There are hundreds of people who work in and with the Federal government who plan these events and carefully choreograph every minute and every step when foreign dignitaries visit the Whitehouse. Every detail is carefully thought out to assure every foreign visitor is given his or her due dignity and respect. After all, as this great nation’s number one dignitary and diplomat, the President is representing all of the American people not just his ideological comrades.

    Above is a photo of how obama’s meeting with the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize winner ended last Thursday, and the carefully choreographed exit the obama administration arranged for this head of state after his visit to the Whitehouse.

    The photo shows the Dalai Lama being escorted through the snow out the back door past the Whitehouse garbage pile that had yet to be picked up.

    If communist Chinese President Hu Jintao visited the Whitehouse, do you think he would be dragged out the back door through the snow and the Whitehouse garbage pile?

    Hows that for symbolism?

    Global Warming or Communist Plot? 

    Can Democrats/Global Communists  actually expect to have it both ways? You know as well as I do that they will try. They are already claiming that record snowfall proves global warming.

    Come on now. Take a step back and think about it. Are you that stupid? I hope not. The fact that you’re reading this tells me that you have at least two brain cells to rub together. That’s twice as many as the democrats give you credit for.

    No snow means global warming and excessive snow means global warming.

    Yeah right. .

    As you know and I know Global Warming or Global Cooling or Climate Change or whatever the hell they try to spin it as is nothing more than another link in the chain the Global Communists plan to enslave us with. Socialist/Nationalist Healthcare, Global Warming/Cooling/Climate Change, The breakdown of our financial system along with Cap and Trade will be the nails in the coffin of Freedom and Liberty for all Western Nations and the world as we know it.

    NOTE TO COMMUNISTS: Your days are numbered!

    Obama’s P.R. Helps Terrorists – by Dick Morris 

    The following article was written and published by Dick Morris and It describes some of the characteristics that I find unforgivably repulsive about our Marxist anti-American leaders in Washington D.C.

    While they downplay our Constitutional rights, they hold the rights of illegal aliens, criminals, and militant terrorists supreme above those of all legal and lawful American citizens.

    We lose 3000 people in an attack against our nation and they tell us to “Get over it” since it’s not politically expedient to dwell on such trivial issues when they’re trying to “Fundamentally Change” the United States.

    They tell us that the only justice is nationalized health care because it’s not fair that healthy people have to pay for the health care of un-insured fat people, yet they want us to pay for their abortions!

    We have 9 months to prepare for the biggest REVOLUTION in American history. That will be the one held on election day in November 2010!

    All political representatives of the American people have been duly warned. The people are coming for you. It’s time for the grown ups to run this country for a change.

    OBAMA’S P.R. HELPS TERRORISTS


    By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN

    Published on DickMorris.com on February 10, 2010

    Dick Morris

    When President Obama’s leading counter-terrorism staff member, John Brennan, says that “politically motivated criticism and unfounded fear-mongering only serve the goals of al-Qaeda,” he has it exactly backwards.

    It is the president’s efforts to crow about how effective he is in fighting terrorism that are helping al-Qaeda.  What kind of policy is it to announce to the world that Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, the Nigerian terrorist who attempted to blow up a plane as it approached Detroit this past Christmas, is talking to investigators and giving them much valuable information?  Obama’s people put the story out to counter accusations that their decision to try Mutallab in a civilian court and to permit him access to an attorney jeopardized efforts to interrogate him.  Stung by the charge that they were blowing a chance to learn about subsequent al-Qaeda plans, they told the media that Mutallab was being very co-operative, especially after a visit from his family.

    While releasing this information may help Obama politically and certainly pushes back those of us who criticized him for handling the Mutallab case civilly, it provides al-Qaeda with a timely warning that we are on to their plans and that Mutallab has explained to us what they have up their sleeves.  In counter-terrorism, knowing your enemy’s plans is key to thwarting them.  And, if al-Qaeda knows that we are prepared, they will, obviously, change their plans.

    Incumbent politicians always have to balance their need to get re-elected against the need to keep many of their intelligence successes private.  The Bush Administration, for example, took great pains not to reveal how it used wiretaps to stop al-Qaeda from blowing up the Brooklyn Bridge because it did not want to make the taps public lest al-Qaeda realize the FBI was listening in.

    Winston Churchill made the ultimate sacrifice early in World War II when, alerted to German plans to bomb the city of Coventry, he chose to let the attack proceed without any evacuation of the city lest the Nazis realize that the British had cracked their code.  Thousands were killed and Churchill had to take the lumps for it politically.  He could have grandstanded, like Obama is doing now, and bragged about how effective his counter-intelligence was, but it would have aided Germany in the war.

    So, likewise, Obama’s efforts to bolster his own credibility in fighting terror are helping our enemies.

    The rest of Brennan’s quote is also interesting.  He said “terrorists are not 100 feet tall.  Nor do they deserve the abject fear they seek to instill.”  This line of argument finds its apogee in Michael Moore’s famous quote that the chances of being struck by lightning are better than those of dying in a terrorist attack.

    The burden of this view, popular in Europe, is, in effect to tell the American people to get over it.  Sure we lost 3,000 people on 9-11, but Britain lost 50,000 in the blitz and France suffered the death of three million men in World War I.  They ask that we put the attack into perspective.

    But we take the loss of those 3,000 people quite seriously and refuse to treat it as a mere crime.  We see it as a declaration of war and are responding accordingly.  That the counter-terrorism point person in the Obama Administration is, in effect, asking us to tone down our fear of terrorism is both disappointing and quite alarming.

    Alicia Church – Plagiarist, Party Crashers or Undocumented Guests? 

    I was honored to see that Congressman Ted Poe (R) 2nd District Texas took the time to read my article “Party Crashers or Undocumented Guests” on the floor of the United States House of Representatives. Most writers and authors work their entire careers without ever having their work read on the floor of Congress. I’m proud that I had the honor. Unfortunately the glory was somewhat blunted when I actually watched the video.

    Some people don’t like to work so hard. They prefer to steal the work of others and claim it as their own. I am of course referring to “Alicia Church” – Plagiarist.

    When Congressman Poe read my article little did he know that he was incorrectly attributing it to the fraud and plagiarist Alicia Church.  I don’t blame the Congressman for the mistake since he was only reading the article that was fraudulently submitted by Alicia Church – Plagiarist.

    However, I have contacted Representative Poe’s office several times to try and get them to correct the erroneous attribution, to no avail.  I’m a little surprised and disappointed since his staff seemed to be genuinely concerned about this violation of my intellectual property rights and the violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1996 by Alicia Church – Plagiarist.

    But maybe not.

    Congressman Poe has yet to correct the text on his website, or the video on his YouTube account. I have posted a video response on his YouTube account, but I don’t know if it will be approved or not. It’s the same video posted here. If he makes the correction, I will in turn update this post to reflect those changes.

    The video and text is also in the CSPAN archives and in the Congressional Record which Congressman Poe’s staff promised would be corrected…We’ll see.  Should I hold my breath?

    Plagiarism on the web is a huge problem and we all need to do our part to stop it. I will continue to protect my intellectual property by any means necessary. I hope other authors will do the same.

    I guess Alicia Church – Plagiarist didn’t realize she was stealing from a web designer. It will all be spelled out in detail at http://www.aliciachurch.com, the new domain I recently purchased. And to be sure ms. church – plagiarist gets all the notoriety she could ever want for her hard work, I’ll be fully optimizing the site for all the search engines. You don’t have to thank me now dear,…You’ll be thanking me for years!

    Like the old saying goes; “Don’t mess with a person who buys ink by the barrel, paper by the ton, or bandwidth by the Gigabyte!”

    Obama Gets Easy Out of NYC KSM Trial Fiasco 

    Holder

    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, and by Holder’s own account, his wife  and brother 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 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?? 

    This is not a "Saturday Night Live" skit...

    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!!

    Tags: Haiti earchquake, marxist, never let a good crisis go to waste, obama, progressives, rahm emanuelle   

    Is Haiti just another “Crisis” for the progressives? 

    -AP Photo

    -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!

    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.

    The Stimulus Diet 

    Couch Potato

    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.

    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..."

    "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.
