I'm sure if you obtained your information from the so-called mainstream media regarding the 9/12 Washington Tea Party you would have scratched your head and said what's all the fuss about. Well, let me tell you from first hand observation. It was a tremendous display of grassroots, patriotic concern for the direction our country is headed. The outpouring of ordinary folks who traveled from coast-to-coast to be in D.C. that day was unforgettable. I had to laugh at the consistent low ball estimates of the crowd provided by the "media". Even FOX fell for the "Tens of Thousands" bromide. There is hard evidence that any crowd that fills the Capitol lawn out to the pond area and street reaches up to 240,000. That was done easily and much more if you include the overflow into the mall and surrounding coves. At the same time, hundreds of "Tea Parties" were held across the country adding hundreds of thousands more to the days participation. Personally, I believe DC's crowd was in the 400,000 plus range. Regardless of the number, however, the enthusiasm and commitment of the folks is the real story. I've included some photos in a slide show and some videos to help capture the excitement of the day and give a sense as to he size of this event.
It all started with tens of thousands marching one mile down Pennsylvania Ave. beginning near the White House and ending at the Capitol where they joined hundreds f thousands already assembled in front of the Capitol......here's a clip as we joined the marchers
And here's a collection of photos I took that day assembled into a slide show......
The mood was festive, yet serious about the issues. Although many of the signs were aimed at the president's policies, both parties in Congress were assailed as well. The most prevalent theme was that of preserving and restoring liberty. Many signs addressed government spending and of course the proliferation of Czars. There was a sense of great frustration that our voices are not being heard in Washington. That is reinforced by the shameless, gutless reaction of the national print and electronic media. This is truly a national disgrace. Even the politicians continue to ignore us or view us with disdain. Here's a quote from Congresswoman Maxine Waters just yesterday (Sept. 16)......
"I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed," Waters told the liberal Bill Press Radio show in a podcast. "I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers.""What I'm looking for is the very people who carry the signs who are referring to the policies in very, very strange ways like 'Obamacare' and 'Barry Obamacare with Kennedy,'" she said. "What I've been interested in is hearing from those people that everybody's referring to -- everybody on the Mall, in the rally."
I say to Ms. Maxine ...where the hell were you when the crowds on the lawn shouted "HERE WE ARE"! Under your desk cowering with the rest of the spineless Pelosi puppets!
But take heart,Maxine, we WILL be back bigger and better...somehow I don't expect to see or hear from you then either!
But should Maxine decide to show up here's what she is likely to see and hear from the lawn of the Capitol...... (note particularly the crowd chanting "here we are" and "we are not going away")
There were many speakers that day including some political figures like Senator Demint and Congressman Pence. For the most part there were speakers from various Tea Party groups across the country. There were some clever musical parodies as well. One in particular presented by Lloyd Marcus, member of the "Te Party Express" that crossed the country from California to DC in a van. The next 2 videos are of his parody on "New York New York" ... the first is taken from a production he posted on You Tube the next is my video of his presentation at the rally in DC.
Hope you all enjoy.........
In summary.....
In my opinion the September 12 Washington Tea Party was a huge success. But this is not the end but only the beginning. The folks that were commit ed enough to travel there and be heard will not stop there. There are elections coming and as we all sadly learned last November, elections have meaning! It is time for the real silent majority to be heard. WE should begin to see some early indicators this fall with gubernatorial races in NJ and VA. But, we can not leave it to chance. Sitting on the couch and cheering on Glenn Beck will get us no where. We must remain vigilant and active. Contact Representatives, write to editors, be active in support of campaigns, make donations carefully and wisely.
I promise this.....To all in Washington ...WE SHALL RETURN!

A Nation of Cowards??
Recently our U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, accused us of being a "..Nation of cowards" when it comes to addressing matters of race. Just how brave is AG Holder when it comes to addressing the racist aspects of affirmative action?
Holder aside, cowardice is beginning to take a front seat in the Obama administration. Let's examine some recent events. During Obama's recent trip overseas he decided that the once proud nation of the USA should now bow before a monarch whose society trashes women and other religions and was the ethnic origin of all 19 9/11 terrorists! Such deference! Meanwhile the "O" team thought it best NOT to visit Normandy on this trip.
Cowards?
The president had a great time on this trip using every opportunity to apologize for the USA, bash George Bush, and praise Islam. The left wing press applauds His great statesmanship. From a recent Op Ed piece in the NY Times comes the following gush:
"The salutary fact is that when you look at the grinning group photograph, there is only one face you want to see. This conference was about saving the world, but more important for the participants, it was about saving their political lives. Mr. Obama is the only popular politician left in the world. He would win an election in any one of the G-20 countries, and his fellow world leaders will do anything to take home a touch of that reflected popularity.
We may be in the rare position of having an American president who has a deeper mandate among people who could never vote for him than with those who did. For the time being, he has only to offer his hand, and ask politely.
And so, our great , admired Leader marched on throwing rose petals at the Europeans and throwing the USA under the bus .....
From Obama ...."It's always harder to forge true partnerships and sturdy alliances than to act alone. ... In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of ... seeking to partner with you ... there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive."
The bravery of this man to stand before Europeans, who for the most part look down their noses at us and despise our aggressive capitalist heritage in favor of their own brand of mind numbing socialism, is breathtaking! Cowards?

Meanwhile Laura Ingraham holds her own with Matt Lauer as she addresses our Leader's bended knee approach in Europe....
And so , Obama Braveheart goes on to Turkey where he proclaims that the USA is not a Nation of Christians .....(can't leave this guy alone without a teleprompter) ......
It might be useful for President Obama and many of our citizens to view the following video before proclaiming we are a nation comprised simply of secular citizens, denouncing our heritage as a nation founded in Christian ideals....
Is it courageous, given the current admiration for secular progressive thinking, to de-emphasize our Judeo-Christian heritage? Seems to me that cowards would prefer the path of least derision and sadly that path these days is increasingly anti Christian. so who are the Cowards?
Do brave men and women boldly seek opportunity to excel based on their skills and efforts or do they cowardly seek refuge at the bosom of a nanny government?
Who are the cowards AG Holder?

Where are we headed?
It is the State which educates its citizens in civic virtue, gives them a consciousness of their mission and welds them into unity.
Benito Mussolini
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
Barack Obama
I am in agreement with Glenn Beck and others who are now positing that the the Obama administration is taking us on a path that is more akin to fascism than socialism. Frankly, the academic debate that may engender is interesting but in reality either path puts us all in a place we should avoid with all our might. The "F" word, however is more insidious than the "S" word in that government extends its pernicious grasp in a most deceitful manner. We are witnessing these moves virtually daily. The TARP is a classic example of government establishing a "foothold" in a business enterprise followed retroactively by regulatory entrapment. All this is done by the exercise of power through the Executive Branch primarily with the assistance of a malleable legislature. The next prey to fall is the automobile industry. Can anyone have imagined that a U.S. President could step in and remove a CEO of a major corporation, redesign its Board and issue a national government warranty for the corporation's products? The domino train will proceed to complete the circle to encapsulate automobiles and energy into one government controlled cacoon. It's so transparent yet frightening to watch this tsunami of destruction of liberty take place before our eyes. As recently reported in Investor Business Daily:
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has canceled leases for energy exploration on 77 parcels of federal land in Utah, confirming that this White House is indeed a Small Oil administration.The previous administration, which was not beholden to environmental special interests and seemed to understand the importance of energy, had released 130,000 acres of largely uninhabited — and uninhabitable — land for oil and gas exploration.Some of the parcels are in or near the Green River Formation, an oil-rich region in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming that has the largest known oil shale deposits in the world, holding from 1.5 trillion to 1.8 trillion barrels of crude.
Although the Senate recently stalled the Cap and Trade movement it still lurks out there. The direction that Obama is attempting to take us under the guise of saving the planet is to have an energy/transportation complex under total command and control by the government. Skirmishes such as demonizing private sector management and turning loose ACORN nuts to harass businessmen and pursue a pro union agenda are all elements of the strategy. Sure, the stock market will "be allowed" to function and the appearances of a market based economy will be sustained to provide sustenance to the ever expanding needs of a gorged government. Education. meanwhile, has all but fallen to government control. The enormous influence of teachers unions and leftist professorial and administrator roles has locked up that sector. Their reward is more of our hard earned money is being siphoned off to that sector through the so called stimulus act. Pressures are mounting on private and home schooling activities. Freedom is being stripped from parents ruthlessly as we just witnessed by the elimination of vouchers in the DC school system. Parents are losing control across the country in areas of cultural development as well. The nanny state knows what's best for its children. The biggest shoe to drop will be health care. When that falls , the triangle is complete. Government control of energy and transportation; government control of education; government control of health care. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Then, the larger objective of a new world order can be pursued with a controlled and subdued socio-economic base in a once proud Republic.
Like it? I don't. We can still stop this madness but it will take major effort and above all leadership. There are signs throughout the country that the effort is indeed mounting ...leadership...that's another story. But as sure as Reagan followed Carter I'm confident that the post Obama era is worth waiting for.

Capitalism under seige!
Shocking! It is barely over 2 months since the inauguration of president Obama and the destruction of capitalism is proceeding at a breakneck speed with nary a whimper from the media and only tepid response from the GOP. Yet, look what's happened and is about to happen as well as what may happen. A two pronged attack on the major pillars of U.S. Commerce are under attack. The government is boldly using our tax money as well as borrowed and printed money to gain control of the banking and automobile industries. The poor bastards that accepted government money soon learned that their benefactor was no better than a Godfather Corleone loan arrangement. He's making them all offers they can't refuse. Today's action was classic fascist/mafioso! Obama , after toying with GM for several months pulled the rug out from under the GM CEO. The real reason is that the government can now control the makeup of GM and install its own "team". Look for positions on the new Board at Government Motors (GM) to include environmentalists, union personnnel, and greenies. Then Government Motors will become Green Motors (GM). To complete the strategy el duce wannabe said to Chrysler , "hey, nothing personal, only business...you guys go make a deal with my Italian buddies at Fiat and I'll give you my blessing, understand?" So there we have it. Little shit boxes made in Italy will be the early green wave to be followed by the government designed green buggies at GM. Then there will be a massive global warming attack on SUVs and "oversized" sedans, etc. It will begin with painful excise taxes on these vehicles. The ultimate move will be a mandate that all owners of "listed" vehicles have six months to "trade" in their enemies of the planet at your local government car dealer for a "fair value" trade toward an eco friendly Al Gore approved shit box.
The obscene level of spending that Obama has embarked on will bankrupt us. That's not just my opinion but was recently specifically put that way by Senator Judd Gregg(R-NH)! There are already rumblings regarding abandoning the dollar for a "global" reserve currency. Again, not rumors from wild eyed conspiratorialists but from our own Tiny Tim Geithner. In any case, the rate of spending and accumulation of debt is beyond what the economy can support for years if not for ever given that Social Security and Medicare will explode on the scene very shortly. So we can either look forward to waking up some day to learn that the dollar is kaput and we can go to the government banks when they re-open to get our new funny global paper. (All the more reason to have some gold tucked away). Or, they may simply try to print their way out of debt resulting in super if not hyper inflation.
So there you have it. In only 2 short months. Chaos and destruction of wealth.
He's not done there, however. Redistribution of wealth is proceeding headlong. It will get worse with time. The insidious nature of the Obama plan is that those that pay no tax at all is approaching 50%. This is a formula for perpetuating the socialist agenda.
And finally, we can all look forward to National Health Care! Make no mistake, it will happen. The House and Senate are set up for it. In fact, Pelosi has already indicated she may use the "reconciliation" move which in essence ignores the minority party allowing legislation to be rammed through on a one party vote. Let's see how the UAW likes that as their sweetheart health plans get replaced by your friendly government worker agent. After all, some folks have called GM a Health Plan company that happens to make cars.
Do not despair, however. We can still save our Republic. Watch the grassroots movements like the Tea Parties and others grow to impressive dimensions such that the national media will have to report it. Obama is going to eventually tip over the wrong bowl of rice and some of his "friends" will get pissed off. When the media turns on Him it won't be pretty. Take a reading from the NY special election on March 31st to fill the House seat vacated by the person appointed to Hillary's Senate seat. A win by Jim Tedisco (R) will be significant. But we all must do more than watch! Work for candidates, write letters to editors, contribute to candidates not the party machine, debate your friends, get smart on the truth about global warming. By the way, I haven't even touched on Cap and Trade here (mentioned it in an earlier post).
I've got to run now because I have a warranty issue on my GM car and I need to get hold of my new warrantor, Barack Hussein Obama!
Who is John Galt?

Words matter!
Don't look now but our government is systematically destroying our language. In a two pronged attack not only is our currency being debased through massive debt monitization but now our language, already compromised by political correctness madness, is being further debased at an alarming rate by this administration. What's particularly unnerving is that much of the recent language modification has come from "Homeland Security" and being forced on the Pentagon. The Pentagon can no longer refer to the " Global War on Terror" or "Long War" but the language police issued the the appropriate term of "Overseas Contingency Operation". We can no longer refer to a terrorist attack but rather it's a "man-caused disaster". Let's apply this standard to a headline we may have seen on December 8th, 1941 the day after Pearl Harbor: "Enemy sneak attack at Pearl Harbor ignites World War II!" Now translate that into 2009 speech: "Man-Caused Disaster at Pearl Harbor ignites Overseas Contingency Operation II" God help us! "Enemy combatant" has been stricken from the language (no PC substitute yet issued). It is no longer government "spending" it is government "investing". Money given by the government to people who pay NO TAXES s called a "Tax Cut". In a recent interview in a German newspaper given by HS Secretary Napolitano, she said the following when asked about the word games being played: "perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear". Nuance indeed. There will be little nuance in a man-caused disaster of the release of a dirty bomb in the United States. A terrorist attack IS a terrorist attack Secretary Nepolitano and you and all the other sniveling liberals will never strip knowledge from objective thinking Americans. I'm waiting for the next language gymnastic event related to the Gitmo boys. There is talk that some of the detainees will be released into our communities and in fact be provided with "assistance". Of course they will not be referred to as "suspected terrorists" or even "Guantanamo Detainees" but rather " Liberated Foreigners" of course.
Pray for our Republic, my friends.
Pray for our Republic, my friends.
Where are our leaders?
Just imagine as you view the video below, substituting United States for Great Britain and President Obama for Prime Minster Brown. The member of Parliament, Daniel Hannon, delivering the speech on the floor of Parliament is standing face to face with the Prime Minister. Would that the United States could find a person of such courage!

GIVE
On March 18th, under cover of all the AIG and economic turmoil, the House of Representatives passed the Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE) Act by a House vote of 321-105. It now goes to the Senate. (By the way, don't you just love the acronym game that is played?) To view the whole Bill (click here). The Act purports to build on the AmeriCorps concept which had its roots in the John Kennedy "Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) corps. These organizations were originally intended to promote volunteerism in the U.S. to help depressed areas such as Appalachia and others. Now, with more money available through both the stimulus Act and GIVE the concept of volunteerism is augmented with pay and other benefits including tuition benefits. GIVE will initially expand the AmeriCorps from 75,000 to 250,000 "volunteers"! And that's surely just the beginning.The areas of "service" are expanded in GIVE to include: Clean Energy, Education, Health and Veterans Service. Areas such as energy conservation and household energy efficiencies are also included. (see the excerpt below that pertains to Energy)
Sounds like a good idea, right? Let's get citizens involved in helping each other out. Well, not so fast...let's take a look at what President Obama had to say last year as candidate Obama..........
Let's put some facts together, now. The stimulus bill provides billions to community organizer groups. The Bill also reduces the charitable donations deduction for upper wage scale taxpayers with the likelihood of reduced donations. The result will provide for government to fill the void through GIVE. "Volunteers" are paid. There is a short step from voluntary service to mandatory service to help implement Obama's vision as articulated in the above video. Does any of this ring a bell to the 1930s in Europe?
Helping each other is an inherent attribute among Americans. We do it without being asked or paid. Putting GIVE in place, managed by politicians, has to generate some skepticism if not outright alarm given the direction we see this administration taking our country.

Real Climate Change
There's a definite chill this morning throughout the country. This phenomenon, however, is not meteorological. It is tyrannical! We are witnessing an astonishing unleashing of government power against citizens. The Congress , reacting to a populist lynch mob mentality flamed by the president , the media, and hypocritical members of the legislature have come up with the ultimate solution...the full force of government against businessmen. We'll show them who's boss they cry. Now, there is room for debate about the merits of some of the bonuses paid at AIG strictly on a performance basis. But when a fascist takeover of an enterprise by ham handed government takes place there is no room for objective analysis. Government, frustrated by their own impotence to manage anything efficiently lashes out to cover up their own culpability. Imagine Charlie Rangel, with the stench of tax cheating on his slick hair, bellowing at AIG and delighting in the fact that after the Fed takes 90% the States will take the rest. Now that's justice! Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi (give me some more of that inside stock in windmills gal) and land deal whorehouse Harry Reid all jumping on board the pitch fork brigade! Sadly, much of the public , fueled by union and "community organizer" demonstrations delight in seeing those greedy bastards at AIG get theirs!
But where does a blood lust government stop? Who's next on the list? Which weapon of wholesale destruction will be used next, IRS, EPA, DOE, Commerce, Congress, Executive Order?
We are witnessing an all out attack on capitalism at every level of government. Using the tax code to punish citizens is frightening enough. But that is just the beginning. More and more of our freedoms will come under fire in the coming months and years under this power crazed administration. The reckless spending is accumulating a massive debt which will smother economic activity for decades. If allowed, National health care will become a curse on all of us. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO TRUST YOUR HEALTH CARE TO THESE FOOLS you are witnessing at their "very best" in the AIG so called crisis?
Will you let them continue to lie about man made global warming to pass the largest money grab scheme we have ever seen with a Cap and Trade statute? The C&P monster will hit everyone smack in the wallet through huge increases in utility and energy costs. Businesses will again come under attack for "destroying" the planet thus giving an excuse for more confiscatory action against them and ultimately a takeover. Technology, once the engine of progress and a sense of pride in the USA will be used against the citizenry. The early steps in that direction were contained in the so called stimulus bill with the electronic medical records "plan". Sounds innocent enough, right? Makes medical delivery more efficient, etc. If it were in the hands of the providers and patients I would agree. But massive medical information on all of us in the hands of government is a prescription for disaster. Decisions on delivery systems can now be made in Washington based on "numbers".
You are hearing more talk on the energy side about the "smart grid". Sounds great! Efficient management of energy, right? Wrong! The ultimate goal is to extend the intelligent system down to the consumer level where control of every aspect of your energy consumption will be in the hands of government. The result will be to create financial penalties for "over use" of energy or out and out rationing for the greater good of the planet.
So go ahead, revel in the new direction. Hope and change! Appearances on Jay Leno! Teleprompter speeches right out of Orwell's 1984 . Oh, sigh, isn't he wonderful ...so articulate.

Let's talk strategy
I can't believe the head of the RNC, Michael Steele getting suckered into a losing brick brack with Rush Limbaugh. Yet, he did and it was masterfully engineered and strategized by the Democrat brain trust of Rahm Emanuel, James Carville, and Stanley Greenberg. Objective: Fracture the Republican support and cause a diversion from the outrageous new spending bill. Mission accomplished!
So where is the strategy from the GOP folks? Do they even have an objective? There must be a clear objective before any strategy is set in motion implemented by effective tactics. I submit the following:
Objective .......
Gain control of one or both chambers in the Congress.
Reason .......
Bring Obama's agenda to a screeching halt.
Some discussion before setting the strategy.....
Any military commander worth his stars when faced with an enemy who has more numbers and controls the high ground would never advocate attacking the strength of the enemy head on. He would seek out a weak spot to exploit and employ tactics to support his strategy.
The GOP is embarked on a losing strategy. They are focusing their attention on Obama who has strong poll numbers and continued broad popular support enhanced by a friendly media. A formidable opponent indeed. Taking him on head on is a loser! But he has a flank that is extremely vulnerable and could be attacked to cripple his ability to pursue this radical, left wing agenda. That vulnerability is the House of Representatives and more specifically the Speaker, Nancy Pelosi and virtually all the chairmen: Frank, Rangel, Waxman, etc.
Strategy .......
The objective is clear...gain control or at least cripple the stranglehold the Democrats have in the House in 2010. This is far superior to looking at the Obama prospects in 2012. The strategy is to exploit the extremely low favorability numbers of the House leadership beginning with Pelosi and include every prominent chairman with bad public images e.g. Barney Frank.
Tactics ......
If nothing else borrow from the successful tactics the Democrats used on Bush and are now employing against the GOP. At every public opportunity key spokesmen for the GOP must tie Obama to Pelosi like a Siamese twin. Just as the Dems used Bush-Cheney to capitalize on Cheney's poor public image so too must Obama be saddled with Pelosi and also Harry Reid every moment of every day. Media outlets with conservative themes must be encouraged to use video images as much as possible of speaker Pelosi along with sound bites .. don't forget Reid and the others. Meanwhile, the RNC must do their homework and target every single vulnerable House seat or even slightly vulnerable and flood those districts with ads depicting the Representative from that area as being a lap dog of Nancy Pelosi's. Expose their voting records showing the master/slave relationship of that representative to Nancy Pelosi. The RNC must fund conservative candidates and withhold funding from Republicans in primary fights that are clearly RINOs. This effort should get underway NOW! Hell, look at the Pelosi airplane issue and recently having Charlie Rangel tell a constituent who challenged his alleged tax problems to "mind your goddamn business". Holy crap can you imagine what Carville and the boys would do with stuff like that.
Come on RNC, grow a pair! These guys can be stopped! In fact they must be stopped if we have any hope of preserving what's left of a free Republic and rebuild a nation of achievers!
So where is the strategy from the GOP folks? Do they even have an objective? There must be a clear objective before any strategy is set in motion implemented by effective tactics. I submit the following:
Objective .......
Gain control of one or both chambers in the Congress.
Reason .......
Bring Obama's agenda to a screeching halt.
Some discussion before setting the strategy.....
Any military commander worth his stars when faced with an enemy who has more numbers and controls the high ground would never advocate attacking the strength of the enemy head on. He would seek out a weak spot to exploit and employ tactics to support his strategy.
The GOP is embarked on a losing strategy. They are focusing their attention on Obama who has strong poll numbers and continued broad popular support enhanced by a friendly media. A formidable opponent indeed. Taking him on head on is a loser! But he has a flank that is extremely vulnerable and could be attacked to cripple his ability to pursue this radical, left wing agenda. That vulnerability is the House of Representatives and more specifically the Speaker, Nancy Pelosi and virtually all the chairmen: Frank, Rangel, Waxman, etc.
Strategy .......
The objective is clear...gain control or at least cripple the stranglehold the Democrats have in the House in 2010. This is far superior to looking at the Obama prospects in 2012. The strategy is to exploit the extremely low favorability numbers of the House leadership beginning with Pelosi and include every prominent chairman with bad public images e.g. Barney Frank.
Tactics ......
If nothing else borrow from the successful tactics the Democrats used on Bush and are now employing against the GOP. At every public opportunity key spokesmen for the GOP must tie Obama to Pelosi like a Siamese twin. Just as the Dems used Bush-Cheney to capitalize on Cheney's poor public image so too must Obama be saddled with Pelosi and also Harry Reid every moment of every day. Media outlets with conservative themes must be encouraged to use video images as much as possible of speaker Pelosi along with sound bites .. don't forget Reid and the others. Meanwhile, the RNC must do their homework and target every single vulnerable House seat or even slightly vulnerable and flood those districts with ads depicting the Representative from that area as being a lap dog of Nancy Pelosi's. Expose their voting records showing the master/slave relationship of that representative to Nancy Pelosi.

Caution, Obama at work!
The Taliban ....
So, the great one has pondered heavily of this issue in between Air Force One junkets and Wednesday night parties at the White House to arrive at profound juncture in the Afghanistan War. He proposes that the once proud United States now grovel at the feet of the "good" Taliban elements. Brilliant! But, Mr. O just how do we discern a "good" Taliban from a "bad" Taliban? Do they have gang tattoos? Or perhaps one group wears white sheets and the other black (oh, sorry, no offense). Maybe they have funny dots on their foreheads, damn I'm getting my Asian groups confused. But, I'm sure you have sorted it all out. Do have at it. Let's negotiate with the "good" Taliban. And just what is it we are prepared to give up, sir? Oh, only our self respect, security, and a few lives here and there). Hell, go for it Hussein ol buddy!
Stem Cell Research ....
Removing the barriers to Federal spending on Embryonic Stem Cell research the president cites the need for scientific integrity: ... no scientific data will be "distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda." So says BHO. Great! Tell you what Barack ol chum, let's apply that guideline to anthropogenic global warming! Ya think, just maybe, that the science has been distorted on this issue to forge a strategy that will strangle economic growth in the U.S. for decades? How about it, liar-in-chief?
Foreign relations....
Excellent title since matters of affairs foreign are indeed foreign to this president. In one week he has managed to soundly offend our strong ally, the British and through his incompetent State Department bureaucracy embarrass our country in front of the world with a huge Russian faux pas. The mislabeled wording is bad enough. Apparently we don't have anyone in our vast team of intelligence gathering linguistic experts who can translate the word "reset" into Russian! Holy crap, I hope they know how to translate the Russian world for "launch" when they hear it! But, even beyond that, how in the hell could our State Dept. present a "gift" to the Russians which is a box with a BIG RED BUTTON on it! Not yet (NYET) ready for prime time!
Cuban cigars anyone? ....
The father of the Cuban revolution must be puffing away like mad as our weak leader prepares to finally reward ol Fidel for his devastation of a once flourishing Cuban economy. But, Big O probably needs some solid advice as his own coup progresses and why not have a friend only 90 miles away with oodles of experience. Is Hugo next on the I love you list?
Hope and change is underway!

Obama and the stock market
Our commander-in-chief, head of state, all knowing president has chimed in on the stock market. Here are a sampling of his outstanding insights ....
"On the other hand, what you're seeing now is profit and earning ratios (emphasis added) are starting to get to the point where buying stocks is potentially a good deal, if you have a long-term perspective on it"
The stock market, he says, "is sort of like a tracking poll in politics. It bobs up and down every day ... "
Wow, Obama (praise His name) is right on top of this isn't he? Not! He is so detuned from the capital engine of our capitalist based economy that he doesn't even understand the fundamental valuation of price to earnings. But, profit, price , what the hell it's all the same thing. Then to equate the market to political polling is beyond the pale! To somehow equate a series of subjective, opinion based , tabulations of partisans to the daily allocation of serious investment funds seeking to mitigate a variety of risks imposed on the marketplace by the government's actions demonstrates a pathetic isolation of Obama from the heart of our financial structure. Thus, making his attack on capitalism all that easier in his mind. The inexorable march to a total government control proceeds unimpeded because no one in the mainstream media is challenging this overt coup d'etat. However, as seen in an earlier post below there is a nascent movement underway by liberty loving individuals to combat this arrogant plunder of our nation's wealth and culture. Freedom, in the end, is a most powerful force!

Where are the adults?
Weekly shin digs at the White House including Stevie Wonder. Conga lines and cookies. Damn what a great country this is! Oh, says the president, I don’t pay attention the market. No, Mr. President you don’t have to. You and your pals have it made for life. It appears this is one big game of playing with all the toys and trappings of power. Yup, give ‘em a good speech now and then, dump on those “wascally” Republicans, and give a shot to Limbaugh now and then. Yup, that will keep ‘em happy. Meanwhile the peons are out here taking it right in the gut. 401ks, IRAs, retirement funds melting faster than the makeup on Nancy Pelosi’s face under TV lights. Maybe you are not watching the market , Mr. President, because it is now a reflection of your handiwork. Your sycophants make the excuse that you inherited the problem. Come to think of it that’s your mantra as well. I know you don’t follow the market, sir, but one of the market-101 basics is that the stock market is a LEADING INDICATOR of economic activity. This is not a vote on Bush but on your dismantling of capitalism. You see, sir, the stains are on your administration’s underwear now and the stench is permeating the country.
From economy to foreign affairs……
The beat goes on. In an incredibly amateurish move , you Mr. President have made a fool of yourself and put our country further at risk with your outrageous offer to the Russians. First of all your budget will reduce spending on missile deployments and that’s well known. With that strong position you decide to show the Russians a thing or two. Yup, fellas, we will not deploy our anti-missile system in Europe if you help us with those real bad guys over there in Iran. Please?! I’ve got some cookies! The vodka must be flowing in the Kremlin as well as an uptick in cracked ribs from excess laughter. Sen. Schumer has the gall to call your performance in this matter Reaganesque. Holy crap! The gipper jammed military might down the Russians’ throats and eventually brought communism to its knees. My God, if this is an example of how your administration will project America’s might, time to stock up on emergency supplies.
And now Cap and Trade …..
Nice work, Mr. President. Without paying attention to the market you have managed to drive it below DOW 7,000. I know you don’t understand the market, but you have a fondness for big numbers. Chew on this one: the Dow at this level has now given back OVER HALF the run up from the depths of the real depression to the market peak of 14,000 in 2007. It took only 17 months to eradicate half the market value that it took nearly 70 years to build!! Nearly 3,000 points and 30% drop SINCE YOUR ELECTION! Ah, but what the hell, let’s have some more cookies and conga lines and super bowl parties, and nice rides on Air Force 1. As you are fond of saying “We won”! Yup, and the corollary to that is WE LOST!
But, I digress. Cap and Trade. Your administration has ceded a premise of anthropogenic global warming on the basis of some flawed science and without a national technical debate on a huge economic issue. There is ample scientific argument to warrant this debate before we condemn our economy to a death sentence. CO2, bountiful in nature, yet small in proportion to atmospheric “greenhouse” gases remains a hotly (pardon the pun) contested issue as being the single most important climate driver. Yet, you are willing to bet our future on controlling CO2 levels by imposing severe restrictions on our energy production facilities throughout the country. You have all but condemned a real source of clean, bountiful energy to extinction by recently cutting funds for the Yucca mountain nuclear waste storage facility. Wonder what whorehouse Harry Reid had to do with that, or perhaps Nancy Pelosi’s reported multimillion dollar investment in the T.Boone Pickens windbag , er, windmill concept. The cap and trade, with revenues going to the government, is a monstrous ploy to transfer wealth from industry to government to allow government to buy influence and sustain power. All this of course under the mantle of greening the earth. The only thing this will turn green is the wallets of politicians and friends. Why do you fear the fresh air of open debate on this issue? Are we to be treated to another midnight steamroller by Pelosi and friends? Maybe you haven’t noticed the market lately, and I’ll bet you haven’t noticed the stirring of small groups throughout the country … check it out, it’s called grassroots and they don’t like paying up for tea!

Heroes
In some cases the label hero is immediately obvious and appropriate as with the pilot of US Air's Flt 1549 Capt. "Sully" Sullenberger. The term hero also extends to many of our men and women serving in our armed forces. First responders including Firemen, Policemen, and EMT personnel also swell the ranks of heroes. Now, in the era of transformation for our nation, our cultural values and political systems are under enormous pressure to morph into some form of Euro-socialist society or worse! Since the Obama administration took office hardly a news cycle goes by that does not feature a politician or group of politicians attacking private enterprise. These attacks extend to excoriating and humiliating businessmen in the halls of Congress as if to satisfy some Coliseum like blood sport. So, in that environment when individuals stand up publicly to confront this form of tyranny they are to be applauded as heroes. The most recent such incident involved a CNBC commodities reporter and analyst, Rick Santelli. I had the pleasure of watching this event live and found myself cheering at the screen. Included with the event itself are two additional videos: one shows the White house response through the Press Secretary and the final is Santelli's retort to that. This whole episode, I believe, started a nationwide response of public demonstrations against the stimulus Bill and the mortgage bailout plan. To be sure, these demonstrations haven't reached the caliber of the more organized leftist marches, etc. but do reflect a growing manifestation of the frustration harbored by the producers and those that "play by the rules" in our country. It's an early shot across the bow to what hopefully will grow to a massive rejection of the New (Raw) Deal come the mid term elections in 2010.
Santelli speaks out!
White House Responds!
Santelli goes back at Gibbs!
And finally, take a look at this exchange between the U. Conn. head basketball coach and some egalitarian reporter who tried to embarrass the coach over his salary. The argument here is that since U. Conn is a state institution and the state's budget is under pressure that somehow it is unfair that the coach gets paid so much.....
Thank you coach Calhoun!

Newt in 2012?
Keep an eye on this guy in the coming months ...
Is Newt angling for 2012? The interesting aspect of this video is how he takes GW Bush to task and rightfully so for the free spending years of his administration. Not shown in the video is Newt's reportedly encouraging the CPAC group to support ALL conservative candidates regardless of Party affiliation (CPAC is technically non-partison). This makes great sense. After all, it would be OK with me if half the Democrats in the House were supportive of conservative principles and were able to combat the left wing agenda being rammed through the Congress by Speaker Pelosi and her minions.

Timely Words for Today's Nation
Dr. Adrian Rogers (1931-2005) was Senior pastor of the 29,000-member Bellevue Baptist Church in Cordova, Tennessee, and three-time former president of the Southern Baptist Convention.
The quote below is attributed to him.
(Wouldn't President Obama have been better served by pastor Rogers than the Rev. Wright?)
“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
The quote below is attributed to him.

Obama inexperienced? Not!
I read a statement on a stock message board today that lamented that the real problem with Obama is that he lacks experience!
Here's the reply I posted:
Nonsense...He is extremely experienced in the direction he is taking this country ...pure, unadulterated Socialism with a smattering of Marxism. Why are you surprised? This was his culture. This is what the so called mainstream media refused to vett to the public. Look at the Chicago political environment he came out of. Look at what he said in his early writings. For Pete sake, Joe the Plumber sniffed out this socialist snake. Our only hope, damn I hate to use that word, is to eradicate the Democrats from chair controls of the House in 2010. Even then, it may be too late. All these Bills being passed contain insidious entitlements that will sadle the economy for decades.Kiss a once proud Republic goodbye!

Caution, Rats at work!
Just when you thought it was safe to utter "Free Speech", the rats begin nibbling at your toes. Yes, the Senate thanks to Senator DeMint (R., SC) passed the Broadcaster Freedom Act .....but , recognizing that free speech can be halted by other means, Senator Durbin (D., IL) got an amendment passed (57-41 all Republicans dissenting) which states the following: “To encourage and promote diversity in communication media ownership, and to ensure that the public airwaves are used in the public interest.” Their strategy is clear, use back door methods to achieve their goal to control radio content. In fact Durbin and Senator Stabenow (D, MI), another outspoken advocate of controlling the airwaves, BOTH voted FOR the DeMint Bill. Now that's chutzpah! Now they have the cover to say they supported free speech while , like rats in the night, are chewing away at the precious bone marrow of our basic freedom. We can not be too vigilant!
