Split decision
It looks like the Law Library of the Congress of the United States (LLC) has issued an opinion on the removal and expulsion of Manuel Zelaya as president of Honduras. The LLC’s conclusion: Zelaya’s removal was legal but his deportation from the country was not. Here is the relevant synopsis:
The Supreme Court of Honduras has constitutional and statutory authority to hear cases against the President of the Republic and many other high officers of the State, to adjudicate and enforce judgments, and to request the assistance of the public forces to enforce its rulings. The Constitution no longer authorizes impeachment, but gives Congress the power to disapprove of the conduct of the President, to conduct special investigations on issues of national interest, and to interpret the Constitution. In the case against President Zelaya, the National Congress interpreted the power to disapprove of the conduct of the President to encompass the power to remove him from office, based on the results of a special, extensive investigation. The Constitution prohibits the expatriation of Honduran citizens.
The obvious conclusion is that our State Department and president where wrong on this issue. Their argument was that the Honduran Supreme Court had overstepped its authority in ordering the military to depose Zelaya. Let me say that again: “Zelaya, a corrupt and feckless autocrat who was allied with Hugo Chávez, Fidel Castro, and other self-professed enemies of the United States, was lawfully removed from office by a unanimous decision of the Honduran supreme court.” And yet, our leaders sided with him. And it was not because they understood the Honduran constitution or the fact that Zelaya should not have been deported, but because they applied their limited knowledge of our constitution - which doesn’t allow the Supreme Court to give the military orders which could affect the president - to the situation in Honduras. Smart bunch indeed. It is telling which side they chose in this dispute. i wish we could get the real reason for this out here.

The clock is ticking….
Guess the Obama team now has to worry about Iran’s new nuclear facility. Go figure!
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25—President Obama and the leaders of France and Britain on Friday blasted Iran’s construction of a previously unknown uranium enrichment facility and demanded that Tehran immediately fulfill its obligations under international law or risk the imposition of harsh new sanctions.
I am sure the Iranians will do just that. After all, this time they blasted Iran in anger. It is not more of the same useless talk with nothing to back it up, and I am sure Iran realizes that this time they really, really mean it.
Iran acknowledged the existence of the facility for the first time on Monday, in a letter to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency. The letter said “a new pilot fuel enrichment plant is under construction in the country,” said Marc Vidricaire, a spokesman for the watchdog agency. “The letter stated that the enrichment level would be up to 5 percent.” Vidricaire said the agency responded by asking Iran to quickly provide more specifics about the facility—“to assess safeguards verification requirements.” He said Iran told the IAEA “that no nuclear material has been introduced into the facility.”
Hey, why not take them at their word? Is it because we know they are just kidding when they say the Holocaust never happened and that they want to wipe Israel off the face of the planet that we think they are not being honest now?
Ahmadinejad insisted that Iran is using nuclear technology only for energy and medical purposes and has no interest in acquiring nuclear weapons. He said he wants to buy enriched uranium from the United States that would be used for medical purposes.
Oh, that settles it. Nothing to see here. All is just fine.

The globalists strike back!
The anti-US collectivist agenda seen in anything from the demands that the US ask the UN for permission to pursue its own interests or the demands by the AGW cult for us to allow a one world collectivist government to redistribute wealth - somehow the collectivists believe this will fix the planet warming up, but I have not quite figured the science behind it yet - and the nutjob disarmament clique which views America as the problem score a big one.
Barack Obama will cement the new co-operative relationship between the US and the United Nations this month when he becomes the first American president to chair its 15-member Security Council. The topic for the summit-level session of the council on September 24 is nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament – one of several global challenges that the US now wants to see addressed at a multinational level.
Her remarks were the latest by the Obama administration to emphasise a shift from the strategy of the previous Bush administration, sometimes criticised by its UN partners for seeking to use the world body principally to endorse its own unilateral policies. The US currently holds the month-long rotating presidency of the Security Council. Mr Obama will join other heads of government in New York during the week of the nuclear summit for the opening of the 64th session of the UN General Assembly. The annual meeting of world leaders is this year raising expectations on a number of fronts.
So the left again is legitimizing the most corrupt and vile organization on the planet, the UN. We are talking about the organization that tried to block the US from going to Iraq and accused us of going there to steal oil while running a scam to enrich the its members and Saddam Hussein. The same organization that constantly has people stationed in the third world – when it gets reported, that is – in trouble with the law because they are abusing either the women, the children, or both sexually. The crooks that say the US and Israel are the worlds biggest problem while giving legitimacy to people like Castro, the Kims, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, and every other mass murderer, torturer, or oppressor you can conjure up. The idiots that are supposed to stop evil people from murdering their own or their neighbors but actually help make it happen. That organization that is the biggest pusher of the AGW cult because it hopes to profit from it. And that last one brings up this:
UN officials hope a climate change debate on September 22 will give fresh impetus to the search for a global climate deal at Copenhagen in December. There are also hopes a possible meeting between Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli prime minister, and Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority president, that Mr Obama would host, could lead to a breakthrough about a timetable for Middle East peace.
That’s because the AGW cultists and the UN share the same ultimate goal: a big collectivist world government to redistribute all the wealth. But hey, they will do more!
Heads of state are also likely to consider how to deal with Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Mr Obama gave Tehran a September deadline to reply to his offer of negotiations. Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadi-nejad will attend the General Assembly “to encourage Iranian views in managing the world,” an aide said.
Here comes another angry letter and a lot of huffing & puffing. In the end they will blame the US and/or Israel for Iran going nuclear, and claim victory. Great! But what’s Obama and the lefty’s biggest concern?
US officials are concerned Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi might try to steal the limelight during his first visit to New York. A public outcry at the Libyan leader’s visit after he last month welcomed home Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi, the freed Lockerbie bomber, has already stymied his plans to pitch his tent in Central Park.
This is Barack’s chance to shine on stage! Mouth some meaningless platitudes, apologize for the evils of the US, and bow to one or another despot, while abdicating our sovereignty to the corrupt UN in return for some faked love. How dare Gaddafi! The bastard.
“How President Gaddafi chooses to comport himself, when he attends the General Assembly and the Security Council in New York, has the potential either to further aggravate those feelings and emotions or not,” Ms Rice said.
Maybe he can pull one out of the Chavez play book and call Bush the devil. I am sure this is all going to turn out swell. Maybe Obama can tell them how fast his plan to cripple the US economy will work out so the UN can print the new global currency and help us all down the path to hell.

Finally terrorism needs to be fought!
It seems that now that the left is in charge terrorism is no longer a scare tactic by the evil right to divert attention and whip up support for expansionist empire or war in general, but worthy of a “collective fight”. Collectivists admitting collective ideas aside, it is nice to see them finally join the rest of us that saw the threat from terrorism way back when. Yeah, I am being facetious and know damn well that the change of heart isn’t because they suddenly see the threat, but because now they are in charge and will be blamed if the terrorists kill people. I wonder if they pine for the days where all they did was just question everything, attribute it to evil motives, and undermine the people in charge, now that they are the ones responsible for preventing another attack. Then again, this is Janet Napolitano, and she could be talking about those evil right wing terror groups her people warned us about - the ones that are accused of racism and hate for the black guy in the WH, as well as people in general, all because they and not feel that bankrupting the US in order to recreate the USSR here is a good deal - the real terrorists that have told us repeatedly that they mean to convert or kill us all. Even Holder now admits we have home grown radicals, but doesn’t elaborate on that much. At least the left now finally is no longer promoting the usual bull and admitting terrorism is a real problem. I wonder why they only seem to care about our security and well being when they have power though. And I wonder if others notice that as well.

What they do not want you to know?..
The left has seized on some memos Obama allowed to be declassified to again take on their accusations of war crimes, torture, and the usual other BDS bull that comes with all that, but there is a lot more to this story than what they want you to hear.
WASHINGTON - President Obama’s national intelligence director told colleagues in a private memo last week that the harsh interrogation techniques banned by the White House did produce significant information that helped the nation in its struggle with terrorists.
“High value information came from interrogations in which those methods were used and provided a deeper understanding of the al Qa’ida organization that was attacking this country,” Adm. Dennis C. Blair, the intelligence director, wrote in a memo to his staff last Thursday.
Admiral Blair sent his memo on the same day the administration publicly released secret Bush administration legal memos authorizing the use of interrogation methods that the Obama White House has deemed to be illegal torture. Among other things, the Bush administration memos revealed that two captured Qaeda operatives were subjected to a form of near-drowning known as waterboarding a total of 266 times.
The Obama Administration only released memos about the various interogation practices, and I am sure they limited it to the crap that the left has been hoping to get to restart their crusade against the people that actually kept us safe from another attack, but not the memos about what these interrogations yielded intelligence wise. That’s not a chance thing. It was on purpose. And the timing of this release is also suspect. What are they trying to deflect attention from? And why the effort to hide the valuable intell we obtained from these interrogations? There is something that does not pass the smell test in this entire release.
And Obama claiming his people will not do what it takes to get the intell to protect Americans should not be forgotten. When the next attack comes, and at this rate it will be soon, I and other Americans will blame Obama for it. He is the one that ordered the changes that drastically reduced our capabilities to find out what was happening. Who knows, maybe this is happening because of the many snafus and gaffes by the Obama people. WHen people start asking why Obama always smiles at the bad guys, you know something is going on.
UPDATE: And now it is obvious that the heat is on!
A Democratic strategist close to the White House said: “The president looked resolute, and like he had threaded the needle perfectly on the substance: The heat from the right was preposterous, and the heat from the left was manageable. But now they look like the scarecrow, pointing in both directions. They got the policy right, but they look confused and beaten down by critics.”
Anyone expect an operative to claim otherwise? The president got caught in the web of lies the WH tried to spin on this issue - they tried to play it both ways and it blew up in their face - and he is looking anything but resolute or in command. He is looking like he has ordered the legion of propagandists to do damage control ASAP.
Obama also shifted course Tuesday on another politically delicate issue: whether to create a blue-ribbon panel to investigate alleged anti-terror excesses from the Bush era. “If and when there needs to be a further accounting of what took place during this period, I think for Congress to examine ways that it can be done in a bipartisan fashion….to the extent that there are independent participants who are above reproach and have credibility, that would probably be a more sensible approach to take,” the president said. The comment represented a swerve from the line he and other aides had taken since before his inauguration in January, consistently dismissing questions about a so-called truth commission by referring to the new president’s desire to “look forwards not backwards.”
Yeah, he sure looks like he is in control, what with straddling both sides of the fence and all. In either case the moonbats sure have gotten excited about the possibility that their fantasies about going after Bush & Chaney will now happen. While I am sure the Obama people would if they thought they could, reality still shows no chance of this happening.
In fact, legal experts say there is virtually no chance that top officials will ever face prosecution for their decisions on the interrogation program some have described as torture.
Guess the moonbats will be disappointed again. Keeps them good and angry though. Candidates for a heart attack. Good population control I guess.

Well done!
Congratulations to our military on a great job freeing the hostage captain from his pirate captors. This was a real score for them. Congratulations to president Obama for signing off on this mission. Now lets get the ball rolling and have the US Navy start shelling these villages that house these pirates and any ships they put to sea so these people quit their pirating for good. Nothing deters criminals more than harsh punishment, and the best of these to prevent recidivism is death.

Here comes another Dark Age
It is a fact, ignored, glossed over, or refuted only by moronic collectivism embracing idiots that our modern Western world, our very freedoms and quality of life, exists only because of the actions of the United States over the last century. Ask people living in people’s paradises like Cuba or even our neighbors to the south, just to name a couple of places quick and off the top of my head, if you do not believe me. This fact of course pisses off all the people actively rewriting history these days to make America and American interests look bad. If America is an empire, it then truly is the greatest and most beneficial empire ever to have graced this globe. Can anyone imagine, and do so realistically and based on true history, not the pap that these collectivists pass off as history these days, what this planet would look like with out te US? The world would be split between communists and fascists at a minimum. People everywhere would live in misery and under oppression. But according to the collectivists at least they would all have a “level playing field” (equal misery for all!), free healthcare (even when there is none to speak off because there are massive shortages of supplies and skilled healthcare people), free education (more like indoctrination, but its free!), and that’s what counts. Don’t you just take my word for it. Check out what these geniuses have to say:
Film director Ron Howard is “very optimistic” about the future of America, so long as the nation makes an “adjustment,” to fulfill his hope a “more progressive” nation will mean “at a certain point I don’t think we’ll be so consumed with being the pre-eminent super-power and, you know, driven by sort of militarism and this need to export, you know, democracy.” Howard’s reasoning, on Friday night’s Real Time with Bill Maher, came in response to Maher’s formulation that America has “seen better days. We’re sort of in place that has made a lot of people nervous. Some people would say this country has jumped the shark.”
Yeah, that’s worked real well for the world. Now we have pirates telling us they are not afraid of us. Maybe the world would be better off if China was the super power. At least these pirates would be dealt with, shot on sight, their camps bombed, their efforts squashed, they would be driven before the troops, the women and children lamenting the fate of the idiots. My bet is that if Iran was doing this to China, well. Forget it. Iran would never have gotten here. The Chinese would have glassed Iran as soon as the mad man in charge had uttered his first threat. We would all be living in places like this run by people like this. But hey, America is the real villain, because evil capitalism and the American way does not level the playing field! Can one say greed, envy, and jealousy are the prime motivators here? I have already onc eposted on this “level playing field” issue on a blog post over at Right Wing News:
Wow. I am wicked late to this conversation, but I had to comment on the discussion about “level playing field”. Nobody ever can level the playing field, and anyone trying to do so is involved in not only a cynical exercise in futility, but likely knows so. In fact the liberal politicians all give lip service to this “level the playing filed” belief because they know it gives them perpetual power (they get to decide who needs their field leveled, why, and how often).
The fact is that the field can never be leveled. Even if we where able to miraculously level the playing field, lets say we redistributed the entire world’s resources equally across all its people, I guarantee you that things would be different a week from now. The same people that have more today will again have more a few weeks from now, while life’s losers will return to that, some sooner than later. Life is not fair. As was pointed out, despite the bull, and while we all have the same rights, there are always differences. Some people are smarter than others. Some are more industrious. Others simply have a work ethic, while some do not. Some people will wisely invest their money, while some will spend it all on hookers, booze and/or drugs, and a big new Cadillac. What then? Do we reset again?
There is no way to create or guarantee any kind of a level playing field, ever. Too many variables, and the requirement that a perfect and totally unbiased arbiter keep score, make it impossible. And that’s why every attempt to create one, no matter how well intended or noble, indubitably levels the playing field by dragging everyone down into misery. From the USSR to North Korea to Cuba, and everything else in between, the only level playing field is where everyone ends up poor and miserable. Because that’s the only and simple way to level the playing field.
It is not a mistake or coincidence that the very people demanding a level playing field tend to be the ones that, no matter how many chances they are given, end up at the bottom of the rung. It is also not a coincidence that there are so many of them. It is always easier to let others do the work for you. It is also a given that when these people take over and get their way societies eventually implode. Some do it in decades. Some may take a couple of centuries. But this model is unsustainable. And the public school system is the best example of this. Ability, dedication, parental involvement, human nature, all combine to determine the outcome. In fact one could make the argument that today the public school system guarantees a skewed system because it serves politicians, unions, and teachers, not the students or America. No matter how noble or great someone claims this idea of a leveled playing field is, in the end it is a mythological entity. And there will never be anyone that will get it to work. Said being would have to be divine, and God, if you want to believe in a higher power, has already told us that he didn’t want that job when we got free will.
That’s why I so seriously oppose this crap. And it is crap, no matter how palatable the people selling it make it sound, plain and simple. Especially when the left preaches about it, but never tells the people that the only level playing field they can deliver, the one they have delivered every time they have tried, everywhere they have tried, is one where we are all poor, miserable, and oppressed slaves of the elite leveling the field. Color me stupid for actually thinking that the left lying this way is actually more evil than someone that actually tells you he intends to abuse and oppress you. At least the later one is being honest.
There is no way to dispute this obvious fact. The people engaging in this hyperbole and wishing America was no longer a super power, because they feel that’s why the world is such a bad place, and that democracy and the American way where not follwed, are simply idiots. They will all claim to be “positive” and have “hope”, fantasizing about a better future. Logic, facts, reason, and accurate historical analogies will never be part of their progressive vision. That’s on purpose. If they actually were forced to base their beliefs on reality and not fantasy, they would have to abandon the idiocy they preach. The people wishing for the American age to come to pass should be taken to task. The world they envision when this happens is a great lie. When America no longer leads we will again be plunged into a Dark Age. And that Dark Age is coming faster than you think off.

WTF???
OK, the fact is that I was super pissed that Congress handed out $700 billion for TARP during the Bush Admin., but Obama’s people are now projecting $4 trillion of TARP spending. I did not like it when it was done under Bush, and I like it even less now that it is looking like they are giving away $4 trillion of tax payer dollars. And Obama and his crew do not get to keep blaming Bush for this. No way, no how. I have ranted enough times about how this crisis we find ourselves in is directly linked to idiotic PC legislation and mandates, by our own damned Congress no less, so I will spare you that here. But the Obama crew has tacked on $2.2 trillion to TARP so far already, and is now going to go as $3.3 trillion according to this article. And you better understand that this is being done so government can spread its share in the banking industry and basically nationalize these banks. There are already stories about banks that have been told they can not pay back TARP moneybecause the objective is to regulate them. In the mean time, and despite the though talk about how government would crack down hard on abusers, mortgage delinquencies are soaring. Can’t say I did not expect that after the current crooks in charge passed a bill to encourage people to do just that and ask government to pay for the mortgage they could not afford and should not have been given in the first place, this would happen. And the close to $1 trillion patronage bill masquerading as a stimulus bill still has done nothing to improve or stimulate the economy. Of course, that was not what that spending was supposed to do anyway. The left has been talking it up and pretending things are getting better, they want optimism according to some of the moonbats I have heard talking, but some see through the campaign of disinformation.
And things at home are not the only ones that look grim. After we where promised Obama would get the world to love us, we get news like this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this, just to name a few. What happened to all that love and respect we where supposed to get? All I see is thugs taking advantage of what they know is a weaker leadership. That cowboy from Texas sure is starting to look a lot better these days. Even if the cultists do not admit so in public too often.

Major international incident! Obama Admin’s response: FAIL!!
Well the North Koreans challenged Obama to do something about their rocket launch, intended to shore up sales and prove to the EU that these rockets, which will soon be in Iranian hands, can hit them, and despite protestations, the Obama Admin can do nothing to stop it. This wasn’t a satellite launch as the NK claimed, either. It was a long range missile test, period.
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea defied international warnings and sent a rocket hurtling over the Pacific on Sunday, a launch President Barack Obama called an illicit test of the regime’s long-range missile technology that threatened the security of nations “near and far.”
Obama and European Union leaders meeting in Prague condemned the move and said North Korea’s dangerous defiance demanded an international response. Diplomats at the United Nations scheduled an emergency Security Council session for later Sunday to discuss what Obama called a clear violation of U.N. resolutions.
Hah hah hah! I am sure the NK where really scared about those condemnations and the UN action. So scared they went ahead and fired the missile anyway. My bet is we will hear a lot of stern talking, get a draft letter strongly condemning this action, and a lot of laughter from NK about this empty and meaningless grandstanding by the UN, the EU and Obama’s Administration.
This missile test, and the whole this was a satellite launch thing was bogus and we knew it was, was directed at the EU and NK’s neighbors. NK, and Iran whom is deeply involved with this stuff and financing the NK, sent a clear message to everyone: we have missiles that can reach you. Combine that with the nukes they are building and you get the picture. And our response was empty and impotent. At a minimum we should have followed Gingrich’s advice and disabled that missile. Instead the NKS shot a missile over sovereign Japanese territory with nothing but harsh words directed at them for that act. That missile defense shield thingy the Russians want blocked suddenly might look real nice to the Euroweenies I bet.
In the mean time here at home, our government take over of the banking industry continues full force. Now we get news that government is refusing to take back TARP money from the banks so they can keep control of these banks! When cash is such a critical issue, and we are talking about tax payer money at a time when our deficit spending is going up by numbers that will tack on trillions of dollars in new debt, one would expect the government to welcome any repayment. Especially when they assured us there would be no pay outs without guarantees for those repayments. And yet, here we have the collectivists admitting their goal was never to fix the economy, but to have government take it over.
My answer: The government wants to control the banks, just as it now controls GM and Chrysler, and will surely control the health industry in the not-too-distant future. Keeping them TARP-stuffed is the key to control. And for this intensely political president, mere influence is not enough. The White House wants to tell ‘em what to do. Control. Direct. Command.
They are showing their true colors and that everything they are doing is not intended to fix the economy, but to allow them to take it over. I think the NKs would be proud. Screw this.

We are screwed..
While our new collectivist elite government sticks it to private industry and demands frugality, restraint, and sacrifice, they themselves are spending lavishly. Oh, I am not talking about the trillions in newly printed money they are steering to their old and future donors, operatives, and lobbyists, but this lavish trip for 500 too Europe.
With an entourage of 500 staff, an armour-plated limousine and a fleet of decoy helicopters, America’s new president will arrive for his first visit to Britain amid huge razzmatazz on Tuesday for the G20 summit. But it will be his closed-door meetings with world leaders that are likely to prove the most significant of the trip
WTF? 500 staff? Are these Secret Service people to protect the so widely loved Messiah? My bet is these are all lib elitists living large at the tax payer’s expense as usual. The irony of this take over where these elitists tell others how to behave and then do exactly the opposite themselves, is just too much. And what gives with the following?
US security teams have already carried out three visits to prepare for Obama’s first official visit to Britain. The first was a “site survey”, the second a “pre-advance visit” which was carried out to pick sites that the president would visit. Finally there was the “advance trip”, which took place last week. Its purpose was to set up equipment, sweep venues for electronic bugs, test food for poison and measure air quality for bacteria.
I mean, where we not told that if this guy was elected America would be loved once more? Why the need for such strict and far reaching security for a guy that is supposed to unite the world? Especially in a collectivist paradise like Great Britain, where his ideas are not just welcomed, but mirrored? Is there something I missed?
While in town, the president will be guarded by more than 200 US secret servicemen - easily identifiable by their shirt-cuff radios and Ray-Ban sunglasses. Obama has already had some time to get used their attention. It was decided 18 months ago, when he was still a presidential candidate, that his African-American background put him at particular risk of an assassination attempt and he was provided with his security guards.
I guess that answers my above question about Secret Service people. Only 200 of those. The rest are moochers it looks like. But wait! We are told that these moochers are here with an agenda!
Indeed, despite all the heat and fury over this week’s G20, the most important work might actually emerge from the meetings that Obama and his team have scheduled on the side, far away from the debate over the economic crisis. In effect, if the G20 were a party with a guest list, then Obama’s series of mini-summits would be a VIP room; open only to a select few powerful players and conducted firmly behind closed doors.
Ah yes, secret meetings! Remember how this stuff was signs of fascism and Hitler-like behavior when done by Bush? Of course when the Bush Admin people did this it was actually about foreign policy and protecting American lives, something the MSM never pointed out, but my bet is that Obama’s people will not be doing much of that. After all, they have basically renamed the GWoT and thus made it go away. Islamist fundamental nut jobs, now confused by the name change, will stop their atrocities and reverse their murder and subjugation campaign! Why didn’t Bush see the magic of this elegant and simple solution! Anyway, back to reality. These secret meetings are very likely these DC elitist collectivists selling away more American sovereignty and working with the UN and other collectivists to establish that one world government. These tools will talk to representatives of some of the worlds vilest and most oppressive governments and offer to grab their ankles in return for empty promises. Of course they will tout this shit as great diplomacy and a victory for peace. And that will last until we find out the other side hosed us as usual. Of course that will not be reported, or lies will be told to avoid the obvious fact this shit never works.
My guess is that the MMGW bull will be front and center. They will also beg China not to go after Taiwan and then promise not to really do anything if they do anyway. They will probably have people lining up to kiss Putin, Chavez, Ahmedinajahd, and Castro’s arses, just to name a few as well. In general the US will lose out as the agenda will be to promote more collectivism. And that stuff always harms America. Strange and dnagerous times. And we get to pay for them to sell us out too! How wonderful…

What happened?
Did the left and the MSM not tell us that we had to elect Obama to undo the massive damage done by Bush and get the wolrd to finally love us again? Well we elected the Messiah, but it looks like even more people hate or are taking advantage of us. I am sure the NYT did not do this intentionally. Likely their objective was to help Obama by saying the fault lies elsewhere (funny how according to the oracles in the MSM republicans make people hate us ,but in the case of democrats they are the ones at fault for hating us, huh?), but they also exposed their old idiotic lie that democrats get people to like us. In fact the only people that like democrats in charge are despots. And that’s because they know democrats are idiots and cowards willing to grab their ankles in the hopes of appeasing the bully.
These people have told us that if they where elected the world would become a peaceful place. And yet, for those that look for the facts, the information is out there that we live in a dangerous world. In fact, the democrat’s foreign policy strategy seems to be to screw over all our traditional allies. From Tiawan to Korea. From the former Eastern Block members now threatened by Russia to our South American allies. We will pay for these people’s fantasies and delushions. Man are we hosed.

Talk about being seriously messed up…
Man I am glad I am not a muslim living in one of these countries with long and old traditions. This stuff explains a lot of the frustration and anger that seem to grip these people. I too would be pissed at the world and looking to kill people if I was subjected to this kind of crap. Can i judge this culture to be bancrupt yet? Then again, we here have politicans that think they are royalty. Case in point Harry Reid whom is happy he does not have to smell the peasants anymore. Of course we still need to live with the massive BS coming from Harry and Nancy which makes anything else pale in comparison. Talk about messed up. Can you imagine the uproar if a republican or conservative had been so condesending to the unwashed masses? Fear the liberal elites and those bearded and turbaned freaks man.

Racism 101..
Think that now that we have elected our first black president that the days of racism should be over? Think again. Racism is alive and well:
The number two man at NBC News believes Barack Obama skin color gives him more legitimacy around the world than possibly any American leader in history. For those unfamiliar, Mark Whitaker is the Senior Vice President that succeeded the late Tim Russert as NBC’s Washington Bureau Chief, and currently oversees national and international reporting for all the network’s news programs including the “Nightly News,” the “Today” show, MSNBC, and “Meet the Press.”
Damn, I sure am happy I do not work for GE anymore. These kind of idiots seem to be in overabundance at GE’s many corps. It should not be dismissed as simple coincidence that this idiot replaced Dan Rather, him of the famous false Bush TANG documents, either. Barack’s skin color? WTF? Why do so many liberal turds think this shit isn’t down right racism? You can not make this idiotic shit up I tell you.
In the mean time Victor Davis Hanson points out the real obvious to anyone that does not suffer from BDS:
I think Obama may do more for George Bush’s reputation than anyone thinks. I’ve collated the dozens of articles from liberal thinkers that explain why so far Obama—the candidate of hope and change, and cleaning out the entrenched status quo that so warps our D.C. politics and ensures stasis in our policies—has surrounded himself either with Clintonites, outright Bush people or those who worked closely with them, and centrists of ambiguous politics.
As I have said, soon these MSM idiots will try to make the claim Obama won Iraq when it is obvious democrats, except for Joe Lieberman but definitely Obama, did their damn best to force us to leave and lose Iraq. The truth is that Bush left Iraq a victory for us right now despite the lies from the MSM. Now let us see how Obama deals with it? As I said in other posts: Obama choices look a lot like another Bush or Clinton term, and not like the socialist collapse the nutroots where hoping for. I am sure that now that Obama is getting the facts behind shit like this, us going to Iraq makes a lot of sense to him. Not that he can’t still fuck this all up, but then he will be to blame despite the attempt to make it otherwise.
Now let us go back to being told by guilt ridden honkeys that Obama is the only guy that as cred, not because he is smart, savvy, capable, or anything that would actually give people cred, other than because of the color of his skin.....

Can’t say I am surprised…
When the democrats ran on a promise that they would fix the out of control republican spending in the 2006 election, I was baffled how many people actually believed that collectivists - people that gain and maintain power by having government steal from the productive to spend on lavish programs they coin as “social justice” but which serve to do nothing but redistribute wealth in such a way as to give government control of people’s lives and buy the people in government votes - could actually come close to do anything like cut spending unless it was military spending. And of course, as this WSJ article points out, the democrats have taken the spending to an even higher level. But will we hear this?
Here’s a prediction: The media will report today that the federal budget deficit is big and getting bigger. What most of them won’t report, alas, is that the cause of these deficits is an explosion in federal spending. The era of big government is back, bigger than ever.
Heh, that is not a prediction. That is a fact. Why would a media that was complicit with the democrats in propagating that horrible lie tat they would be more fiscally responsible than republicans, even out of control republicans, ever want to point out they where shills for the democrats back in 2006. For that matter they continue to be shills for democrats. Every story that hurts democrats, and especially Barry Obama’s chances in November, gets ignored or white washed. In the mean time every negative rumor about Palin or McCain gets published as if it was factual, with no corrections to follow once they are debunked. In fact the MSM is hard at work trying to invent a scandal about Palin because they all have figured out that Obama is toast. Remember that the media put more effort into finding dirt on Palin in the last 3 weeks than they have put on researching Obama in the last 3 years. Anyway, back to the meat of this story.
The real news in yesterday’s Congressional Budget Office semiannual report is that federal expenditures on everything from roads to homeland security to health care will on present trends reach 21.5% of GDP next year. That’s a larger share of national output than at anytime since 1992. If the cost of the federal takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac prove to be large and are taken into account, next year federal outlays could be higher as a share of the economy than at anytime since World War II. In this decade alone, federal spending has increased by almost $1.2 trillion, or 57%.
The federal deficit is expected to hit $407 billion for fiscal 2008 (which ends at the end of this month) and $438 billion next year. Still, the deficit is expected to be only 3% of GDP, which is in line with the average of the last 30 years. We hope Congress and the Presidential candidates don’t obsess over the deficit per se, because the real fiscal drag from government comes from how much it spends, not how much it borrows.
So there ya have it. The democrats are already spending like there are no worries - a lot of it to fix & hide problems they created like this Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac disaster that the MSM will also never report on because it would hurt their election chances in November – about cash. And they have not even won the election yet. Of course they are already figuring this will be solved as soon as they win. Once they control the show, they plan to tax everyone making more than $35K – they are rich after all – and tax corporations, dividends, investments, and anything else that helps grow the economy and they might have enough cash to cover some of what they plan to spend. Of course they will cut military spending drastically too. Who cares if we are at war? The only war that counts is the ideological war to make us all socialist slaves of the state. But for now they lie about only taxing the people making $250K and above, and the MSM helps them propagate this (and many other) lie(s).
Of course they can do what they always do too: blame Bush. The MSM will help with that for sure. But is that true?
The Bush tax cuts also aren’t the budget problem. Until this year federal tax collections have been surging. In the four years after the 2003 tax cuts become law, tax receipts exploded by $785 billion. This year revenues have declined by 0.8%, but a major reason is the $150 billion bipartisan tax rebate that has hit the Treasury without spurring the economy. Without these nonstimulating rebates, federal tax payments would have climbed another 2.5%, according to CBO. Revenue is expected to be a healthy 18.5% of GDP next year without any tax increase.
Damn, guess not. Well let us rephrase that. Most of the democrat stooges in the MSM have already blamed the tax cuts for everything, so they will go along with the left and tell people that letting hard working Americans keep more of their money is not just a bad thing, but it shows how vile these greedy-Americans are for wanting to do that in the first place. After all, we should all follow Marx’s ideological beliefs. So I guess not much but the DNC party line will go out on taxes. The thing is that I suspect that even the DNC and the MSM (yeah I know same thing) probably know that Obama is in the tank because many people have figured out that the donkeys will stick them hard in the pocket book (that’s the “Change” they have been talking about: what they will leave in our pockets after they tax us). And once they cancel these tax cuts and add more taxes they will have to do some “splaining”. So they will need more excuses.
Another myth is that the war on terror has busted the budget. While operations in Iraq and Afghanistan are expensive, defense spending is $605 billion this year, or about 4.5% of GDP. That only seems large by comparison to the holiday from history of the 1990s, when defense fell to 3% of GDP. As recently as 1986, defense spending was 6.2% of GDP.
Oh yeah. Blame it on the spending to protect Americans! Evil people that think the government actually should be spending money on things like defense and protecting the American citizens should shut the hell up. There is nothing in the Constitution allowing government to do this kind of crap! Government needs to be promoting “social justice”! Oh wait. Actually I can find the words saying that the government should actually spend money on defense and that the elected officials should protect us citizens in that there Constitution. Its is that bloated spending tied to this “Social justice” concept the democrats tell us about that I am having trouble finding in the Constitution. So maybe the democrats are going to have to show where the money is going…

Now get the hell out of here! I say blame Bush! As long as we can fool the people until November and they elect more people with (D)s next to their names these people will be happy. And the spending will continue. But there is something we need to keep in mind, something I already pointed out above:
The point to keep in mind is that this big spending blitz is coming even before a new President and Congress arrive next year with far more spending promises in tow. As they contemplate their choice for President, voters might want to consider which of the candidates is likely to be a check on Congressional appetites, rather than a facilitator.
You think this is bad? Wait until they win. The only spending that will go down will be military related spending, the defense stuff, the homeland security stuff, and anything that involves us killing people that want to kill us first, while the rest goes out of control. Viva collectivism!
