It has nothing to do with race. If he were white, I would feel the exact same way about him.

If the idiots keep calling people who aren't racist 'racists', it's no wonder they can't spot the racists living in the White House and spending taxpayer money to fund their trashy dreams of taking revenge! DUH!

He IS your President knucklehead. Get over yourself. You hate everyone who voted for him? That's a lot of hate. That is the type of blinding hate that would make a person believe the BS proffered on the Fox Infotainment Network. Do you really believe that that your President is intentionally destroying the Country? That type of statement takes your opinion right out of contention. Heck, I even acknowledged George as my President. I never accepted any position that he was trying to be evil or destroy our Country. He is just a knucklehead...Like you.

Why don't you read the list of documented lies that Obama has told? Also, he ran the dirtiest campaign in US history. He won the election because he lied and cheated and received tens of millions of illegal contributions from here in the US and other countries. I honestly do believe that he is intentionally trying to ruin our country. Say what you want about FOX news but I think they are far too easy on him. Kenya has a monument for him at the place where he was born- IN KENYA. According to Obama's Kenyan (paternal) grandmother, as well as his half-brother and half-sister, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya. His grandmother was present DURING HIS BIRTH IN KENYA. He is a liar and a cheat, and needs to be removed from office.

Fox Fan said...

Actually, for your information (literally) Fox News is about the only reliable source of documented (true) news stories, especially where our Federal government is concerned. Do your liberal selves a favor and find out what is REALLY taking place in our country instead of believing the propaganda that the networks spew. Funny that the liberals try to smear Fox News and make all their sissy-whining about it, but the proof is in the pudding and even the best (oxymoron) liberal minds can't substantiate any falsehoods on Fox's part. For anyone out there who hasn't joined the millions of faithful Fox News viewers, do yourself a favor and see why they are the most trusted news source out there.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THESE FACTS!!

Anonymous said...

If Obama wasn't born in Kenya, then why would they erect a statue? Answer that question you weak minded, anti-intellectual liberals. My Conservative (analytical) mind can only draw one conclusion.

By the way, there is a statue of Reagan in Central London and one in Poland. I always knew he was a bowler wearing, pierogi eating American wannabe. My Conservative (analytical) mind tells me he was born on the border of England and Poland.

Argue with that logic you Commie Pinkos.

Anonymous said...

Give us a break, moron. Using the logic you employ to justify Reagan having a statue in Poland and London is totally asinine, and you know it. There was never a connection to those areas with Reagan like there is with Obama to Kenya (once again, something you already knew). So, Ronald Reagan is lauded in foreign countries for what he accomplished during his Presidency and they have erected statues to show their respect. Obama has a statue being erected in Kenya and it is because of all of the wonderful things he has done during his presidency...I don't think so. Even if he isn't a Kenyan...they can have him back anytime they want.

Unfortunately party affiliation has nothing to do with my feelings toward Obama and what he has done to America in his short time in office. We have lost ground in everything and sadly people fail to realize/recognize what is going on.

If you want a glimpse of where things are headed in the world take a look at the movie "Idiocracy"...or the animated movie "Wall-E"...or read "The Dumbing Down of America" by Glen L. Murray.

I used to feel animosity toward the sheeple who don't have the mental capacity to formulate their own opinions and address things in a logical / reasonable manner. However, after reading the post above I think I will reserve my feelings of angst for those who seemingly have the propensity to do so, but choose not to and silently sanction the domestic terrorists that we presently call our president and his administration (a.k.a.: thugs, thieves and liars).

Did you hear Obama's threatening remark in his speech last night, that anyone who disagrees with his health care plan will be called out. Nice to see him working in a bipartisan manner, as usual. So anyone who has valid concerns and a healthy dose of reality concerning this very bad health care plan will have to answer to the thug Obama? He and his entire administration are a shame to this country.

dmark said...

He called out the liars.

If you misrepresent what's in this plan, we will call you out.

Of course it is the GOP. (Grand Old Prevaricators)

Anonymous said...

Oh no...all it took was Barry on the tube (again) to bring the cockroaches out from hiding. Welcome back, dmark...how did we ever get along without your intellectually provocative 'cut & paste' commentaries?
If the criteria for being called-out is simply "misrepresenting" what is in the plan, then, by logic and reason, most (if not all) of the democrats should be getting 'called-out'. If there was ever a misrepresentation of the plan then the Dems take the cake. The plan stinks...and most importantly, THERE IS NO WAY TO FUND IT!

I guess that point is lost on those that don't care about budgets and deficits because they don't add anything to society through their existence. Sound familiar, dmark?

dmark said...

You know, to "cut&paste" you actually have to have a source other than your ass. I like to bring some facts to the discussion although I know that the right is fact and truth adverse.

I've said before that the only bill currently being considered that I have any use for is HR676. I posted elsewhere last night that at best the current crop will bring the US to where the rest of the world was 40 years ago. At worst, it will be a give away to the insurance companies and will set back health care reform 5 to 20 years.
My personal preferrence would be to open up Medicare for anyone to buy in. Have the Medicare board determine the per person cost, mark it up 10 to 20 percent to cover the un-insured and move into the 21st century.

And about deficits. How about you "cut&paste" some of your posts from 2006 or so when Commander Codpiece ran up trillions off the books for his vanity war?

There is an adage in marketing that basically states - 'if the only way to make your product seem better is by making the competition look worse...then you don't have a very good product'.
This is the route that the current administration has taken with everything. They have nothing to offer. What they are putting out there is a pipe dream that will do nothing more than cause future harm to our economy and health care system as a whole. Nobody can deny we need to make changes to the health care system - major changes. The plan espoused by Obama does not hold water...and now there are many of his backers (other Demoncrats) who are balking at the plan. So we have division within the ranks...we have a plan with no possible way to fund it (other than incur additional mega-debt)...we have 'other' more feasible plans being suggested by both Demoncrats and Republicans that make more sense and don't punish businesses and the future of our economy...But, the thugs, thieves and liars will probably ram the proposed plan down our throats and then stand back and watch the fireworks. Thank you Barry for not following the process...for using your strong arm tactics and being the front man for the evil money that has backed you all along.
At least when Slick Willy was in office he did things one intern at a time...with Barry at the helm America is being taken to its knees en masse!

So very true! The problems cannot be fixed by one delusional, expensive bill. We need individual bills that address each individual problem. The Republicans have REAL plans with REAL solutions, and Obama and the Obamanation will not even consider them. It is all about POWER and power corrupts. If Obama truly had this nation's best interest at heart, we would be so much further along in REAL health care reform.

Who can forget the terrible events of September 11, 2001?

Your government has returned to pre-9/11 status wherein the FBI is now responsible for preventing terrorist attacks and the CIA is largely irrelevant, if not suspect.

Recall that, at the time of 9/11, the CIA was forbidden to provide information about terrorism to the FBI and vice-versa. Welcome to the bad old days!

And Obama is still intent on closing Guantanamo although he gave zero thought as to what we should do with the terrorists detained there. Those that were returned to their homelands promptly headed for new battlefields against American forces.

Eight years on, Osama bin Laden is presumably still alive. How is it that a nation with our enormous resources, spy satellites, drones to over-fly where we believe he is hiding, special operations military personnel, and yet this very tall Arab eludes us?

Here, too, is something worth considering. Al Qaeda waited eight years after the February 26, 1993 Twin Towers attack to strike again on September 11, 2001. And 2009 is eight years since the last attack. These people are patient. The next attack has been planned that will greatly exceed the casualties of 9/11.

Had the machinery that the Bush administration put in place and which kept the nation safe been respected and augmented, I would feel more confident, but who can feel confident with Janet Napolitano heading the Department of Homeland Security?

Napolitano cannot even bring herself to say the word “terrorist” and the Obama administration has not only expunged the phrase “war on terrorism”, but the Postal Service has issued of a stamp to commemorate Eid, the Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan!

It was the weak response of the Clinton administration that spurred al Qaeda to stage 9/11 and the same conditions are in place again today.

In addition, in an absolutely bizarre change of focus, instead of capturing or killing terrorists, it is the former Vice President, Dick Cheney, and dedicated CIA operatives that the Obama administration would like to drag before the dock and prosecute!

It is eight years later and I do not feel one bit safer. Do you?

The list goes on and on but obviously your computer must have a block on sights that offer anything informative, intelligent, or enlightening. Maybe you should check your computer and see if Barry and the Boys haven't already taken control of your system...

I did see McCain's speech. It was pure Pol Speak. Not much in the way of specifics. Tort reform is a red herring demanded by big business and doctors to make it more difficult for citizens to pursue their rights. Again, Repubs fight for the rights of the powerful against the people. The Repub's "80-plus" proposals are vacuous. Talk about not providing specifics...

BTW, 9/11/01 was on Bush's watch. Right after he failed to read the Daily Briefing warning about Al Qaeda. You believe that it was the failure of the prior administration that lead to 9/11? Then, if something happened today, wouldn't it be because of the failed policies of the previous Bush administration?

Anonymous said...

Hmnn...let's see. 'W' took action after 9/11. Slick Willy 'got some action" instead of responding to the attacks on US Embassy location in foreign lands, attacks on US Navy vessels located off the shores of hostile nations, etc.
So yes, if something happened today...it would fall on the current administration who has done everything possible to dismantle those things put in place to fight terrorism. Whatever the Bush administration did right and wrong, the one thing they did do was provide a sense of security by 'acting' in a manner that said..if you hit us, we will hit back harder. If you take something away from us...we will take everything from you.
But you are right...it all falls upon Bush. It would have been interesting (in a convoluted way) if Al Gore had won the first presidential election that Bush 'stole' from him (you don't have to respond about how Gore actually did win and then Jed Bush did...blah, blah, blah).
I hate to think what Gore would have done (not done?) when 9/11 occurred. My guess...attribute all of the airplanes crashing due to severe wind shears caused by global warming...damn those aerosol spray cans!
Now there is an inconvenient truth.

dmark said...

Perhaps you forgot that the Clinton administration captured and convicted the main perpetrators of the first Trade Tower bombing and "kept America free from terrorist acts on US soil". If you want to point fingers at administrations allowing attacks outside of the US, you'd better go back to the Marine barrack bombing in Lebonon in 1983. That was on St. Ronnie's watch.

Heck dmark...using that logic don't forget that the most devastating attack on U.S. soil (Pearl Harbor) transpired under FDR's watch...Or should that read St. Frankie?
You can sling all the mud you'd like but the reality is that the Bush administration put procedures and policies in place to minimize, or hopefully eliminate, terrorist attacks on American soil and Barry and his gang of thieves have pretty much gotten rid of them.
Oh, that's right, now we at least read any suspected terrorists or 'war criminals' their Miranda rights!

Doesn't matter a rats ass about where Obama originated from....Hawaii, Kenya, Indonesia, Detroit, Chicago...who cares! What truly matters is his bastardization of our Constitution and his strong-arm, socialistic actions that are totally destroying our country. He must have been one hell of a professor when he was instructing students on Constitutional Law. How do you teach something you obviously don't know...or don't care to practice. Oh wait...that is pretty much how he is running our once great country into the ground.

Exactly! Since he doesn't like our country, I wish Obama would go the hell away. (Maybe he could run for president of China).

The oath that he took when Obama was sworn in as president is being completely violated: to protect our US Constitution. He should be impeached for his actions. He is a traitor to our country.

The United States Census Director has sent a letter to the National Headquarters of ACORN notifying the group that the Census Bureau is severing all ties with the community organizing group for all work having to do with the 2010 census.

Finally, this corrupt group of "community organizers" will be investigated and held accountable for their actions. America is fed up with liberal politics and the thugs that do their dirty work.

Anonymous said...

One would be unable to successfully bastardize the constitution, unless one knew the US Constitution extremely well. One would not be able to so effectively trick the vulnerable and desperate so fluently, without knowing people as well as a successful community organizer straight out of Chicago's streets.

Obama mixed his "street" psychology with Harvard education in law. He does his Harvard-coated, thug tactics very well, but it wasn't as difficult as it should've been. He has brilliant cronies, a teleprompter, media favoritism, and people's blind devotion. Obama was a mesmorizing campaigner (until you figured him out), but he is a horrible president who is behaving horribly.

I wholeheartedly appreciated Joe Wilson's "you lie" comment and the honesty that drove his impulsive reaction to Obama's inspirational, but void of facts, speech.

Anonymous said...

Unfortunately, and while ACORN will have nothing to do with the 2010 Census, I read that ACORN will not be investigated. It has been decided that the video was somehow "insufficient" and to investigate and/or prosecute ACORN based on this "insufficiency" would be breaking the law. So, there you have it; more twisting of the facts and hypocrisy to protect Obama's tender feelings and "I'm-above-the-law" socialism.

You Go, Joe! said...

There are more ACORN videos to be released this week. It is my hope that they will be investigated. Based on past actions alone, they should have been shut down long ago.

I, too agree with Joe Wilson's "You Lie" statement and commend him for his courage. It might have been inappropriate, but what other way is there to fight an administration that has done only inappropriate things since the beginning. Of course, now the liberal media is claiming that Joe Wilson's remark was racist. How absolutely stupid can liberal journalists get??? This isn't about race! This is about saving our country from destruction by a super liberal socialist President who is trying to demolish our constitution, our very foundation. If Michael Steele was president right now, I would be elated. He is more black than Obama. This is not about race.

Now that's a Freudian slip. You repugs keep whining, "We're not racist! We're not racist!" What does the statement that Michael Steele is "more black than Obama" mean? According to you, Obama was born in Kenya. Steele was born in Maryland. Does being born in Maryland make one black? No, obviously you refer to the color of his skin alone.

You poor frightened dolts. The boogey man is not coming to get you. He is not taking away your guns. He is not indoctrinating your children. He is doing what we, the majority, elected him to do. If the repugs have such great ideas to share on health insurance, then why did they miss the opportunity to actually do something for eight years? Even Michael Steele admits that the repugs missed their opportunity. The only thing they want is to do is to oppose any progress offered. This way they can be patted on their heads by their insurance company puppeteers.

Obama's mother was white. Obama is half black. Understand?

History Lesson said...

FOR THE RECORD:

Were there other "black" presidents? Some historians have reason to believe people don't really understand the genealogy of past U.S. Presidents. Research shows at least five U.S. presidents had black ancestors and Thomas Jefferson, the nation's third president, was considered the first black president, according to historian Leroy Vaughn, author of Black People and Their Place in World History.

Research shows Jefferson was not the only former black U.S. president. Who were the others? Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge. But why was this unknown? How were they elected president? All five of these presidents never acknowledged their black ancestry.

Jefferson, who served two terms between 1801 and 1809, was described as the "son of a half-breed Indian squaw and a Virginia mulatto father," as stated in Vaughn's findings. Jefferson also was said to have destroyed all documentation attached to his mother, even going to extremes to seize letters written by his mother to other people.

President Andrew Jackson, the nation's seventh president, was in office between 1829 and 1837. Vaughn cites an article written in The Virginia Magazine of History that Jackson was the son of an Irish woman who married a black man. The magazine also stated that Jackson's oldest brother had been sold as a slave.

Lincoln, the nation's 16th president, served between 1861 and 1865. Lincoln was said to have been the illegitimate son of an African man, according to Leroy's findings. Lincoln had very dark skin and coarse hair and his mother allegedly came from an Ethiopian tribe. His heritage fueled so much controversy that Lincoln was nicknamed "Abraham Africanus the First" by his opponents.

President Warren Harding, the 29th president, in office between 1921 and 1923, apparently never denied his ancestry. According to Vaughn, William Chancellor, a professor of economics and politics at Wooster College in Ohio, wrote a book on the Harding family genealogy. Evidently, Harding had black ancestors between both sets of parents. Chancellor also said that Harding attended Iberia College, a school founded to educate fugitive slaves.

Coolidge, the nation's 30th president, served between 1923 and 1929 and supposedly was proud of his heritage. He claimed his mother was dark because of mixed Indian ancestry. Coolidge's mother's maiden name was "Moor" and in Europe the name "Moor" was given to all blacks just as "Negro" was used in America. It later was concluded that Coolidge was part black.

The only difference between Obama and these former presidents is that none of their family histories were fully acknowledged by others. Even though Obama is half-white, he strongly resembles his Kenyan father. And not only is Obama open about his ancestry, most people acknowledge him as a black man, which is why people identify Obama as the first black president of the United States.

Sadly, it is my personal opinion that the only reason that Obama won the election is because he is black. He did not win it on his past political successes, that is for sure, or his abilities as a community organizer. Now we are stuck with a really bad president who is taking our country down. If you want to blame it on race, go right ahead. I blame it on the individual: Obama.

Hey History Lesson blogger.

The presidential (and VP choices) were pretty sparse. Obama is clearly the smarter choice for president.

You want McCain and Palin running this muck that is eight years in the making by Bush and his dumb ass associates? JC. Bush and his buddies should all be horse whipped for their crimes.

By comparison, Obama is a breath of fresh air.

Conservatve Republicans--get over the fact that US demographics is changing. Get over yourself. You are plain stupid to think voting another Republican in as President will make things better.

Obama is less corrupt then any Republican out there on the horizon.

This isn't even about Democrat or Republicans any longer, it's far too crucial and important to put in that box.

It's not changing the subject, simply stating facts that most Republicans refuse to believe. Bush was a failure! One of the worst presidents of all times! Bush's 8 years were filled with dismal failures, lies, policies that didn't work, greed and economic ruin, wars that did not need to be waged and on and on it goes. Quit trying to say that things were any better then than now, they weren’t. And many folks are right, it is no longer a Democrat vs. Republican issue; it’s simply that our system is a flat out mess. Regardless of labels we slap on each other, by human nature we will always be divided by the haves and have not’s. Those who want to play well in the sand box and those who want to be the biggest baddest bully on the playground and keep all the toys for themselves.

Itsa Mess: Yes, it is a mess, and Republicans must be held accountable for just as large a portion of the blame as Democrats. More, if you ask me, because they've held so much of the power for more of the time. You can recognize the "business as usual" Republicans tactics in local politicians and school administrators.

But do not disillusion yourself. Obama is NOT helping any of it, he is making it worse. Obama is, out of all the horrible presidents, the worst! The biggest thug and BSer to ever hit politics. You think Republicans have been BSing, Obama is the epitome of BS and he's taken it to a new low. Democrats have done nothing but compare Obama to Bush to defend Obama - isn't that like defending the benefits of a disease by comparing it to the sour taste of a rotten apple with worms? Not even close. Bush was bad; Obama's worse. Wake up.

You've got to be stupid because you recognize the Republicans' BS but can not and/or will not see that Obama IS BS!!!

Gee, I haven't checked in in a while but I see the Klaven is still in session. It's nice to see a few sane posters for a change. I was in Green Lake this weekend and I waved when I went by your houses. Did you see me? I talked to a number of people who check on this site and they and they agreed that the level of racism displayed here is sad. Hopefully, more sane people will join in.

Liberals think that anyone who doesn't agree with Obama is a racist! Of course it has nothing to do with bad policies and uncontrolled spending. This is insulting to voters across the country. Just wait and see what happens in the elections this year and next. Folks are sick of this toxic thinking. You reap what you sow.

For the blogger who foolishly believes that Obama is a breath of "fresh air":

Last winter the predictions of Russian analyst Igor Panarin made quite a splash. It may prove salutary to revisit Panarin’s forecasts. Because of the economic crisis, Obama-Care, et al., things tend to get lost in the shuffle.

According to Andrew Osborne’s article in Wall Street Journal, Panarin predicts that “mass immigration, economic decline, and moral degradation” will trigger a civil war in the United States.

According to Panarin, we can expect civil war to erupt just about—what time is it?—now.

Panarin has based his predictions on classified Russian intelligence documents. Do you think it’s possible that he knows something we don’t?

The Obama administration has ignored a debt of staggering proportions (a debt owed to Communist China), has tried to saddle the U.S. with crippling economic policies, has seized control of most of the U.S. auto industry, has to a large extent gobbled up banking, has implemented a “stimulus” package that ignores small business—the source of 90% of American jobs. (A “stimulus” package written by the Apollo Alliance, which is headed by rabid anti-American domestic terrorist Jeff Jones).

They have stuffed the administration with radical, wack-job czars, they are attacking the CIA, and are aiding and abetting anti-American terrorists.

The list goes on—and on. Can there be any doubt about what the Obama administration intends for the U.S.?

Yaaa... right.... Really? Igor Panarin? The man who praises Stalin? That Igor Panarin? The man who fears globalism? The man who condemns Gorbachev for tearing down the wall? (Oh... That's right, Ronny pulled it down with his own little hands.)

You need better role-models, or at least better bathroom reading material.

Panarin sees the US as breaking up into areas which will be consumed by other powers. In his view Alaska will be consumed by Russia. At least Palin will see them coming.

This is all coming together. Remember the “citizen national security force” from Obama’s 2008 speech:

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

The Heritage Foundation reports that spending on military personnel averages $70,000 per member, though it is not clear what that entails.

If Obama is talking about funding his civilian national security corps at the same level as the military, he would need at least an additional $500 billion.

Classroom Corps. Health Corps. Clean Energy Corps. Veterans Corps. Homeland Security Corps. Peace Corps. Global Energy Corps. AmeriCorps VISTA. Experience Corps. Senior Corps. Green Job Corps. I’m not making up these names, folks!

Obama proposes a college citizen corps as well. He plans to offer an annual $4000/year tax credit for college tuition, to be paid back in 100 hours of community service each year in “work-study” programs. His program calls for a large proportion of work-study to be done outside the university, though, in community service rather than in the university library.

Notice that they’ll be receiving $40/hour for the work, out of your tax dollars. Think the labor is worth that much on the market? No? Then we must be talking about spending with no comparable return — unless Obama has a goal that isn’t covered by the value of the work. More on that in a bit.

It goes even younger. Obama proposes mandatory community service for middle and high school students, 50 hours’ worth a year. That’s another 40 million students.

Is it just me, or is this starting to sound like the indoctrination of our youth? It bears a striking resemblance to Hitler and his youth corps. Gee, do you really doubt that Obama is gearing up for a civil war??? He is not only instigating it, he is planning and choreographing it.

Obama's proposal would mean using up to half of all federal income tax revenues just to fund his promise “to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the military. And this from a man who won't secure our borders. That's because it's not Mexico or Canada that he is worried about, it's American citizens fighting for their very lives. Wake up people!

222 YEARS said...

Today marks the 222nd anniversary of the formation and signing of our Constitution. The United States Constitution is one of the greatest founding documents in history because it charted a bold new path in the realm of political theory. Not only does the Constitution establish checks and balances within the federal government, it also divides power among the federal government, the states, and the people. The Founders understood that it is the nature of government to grow at the expense of the people’s liberty; and with that in mind, they established a form of government that would be limited in scope and power in order to maximize power to the people.

All that said, it is very unfortunate that President Barry Obama has not honored his oath to protect and defend our Constitution and has surrounded himself with people who are trying to undermine and destroy it. Above all, our Constitution needs to be protected and preserved!

United we stand, divided we FALL!

I've enjoyed picking at the open sores of the radical right which dominates this blog. But the more I read, the more I come to the conclusion that the radicals are really frightened outsiders who have locked themselves in a closet of ignorance and surrounded themselves with fake media morsels of info that they have picked and plucked for them by the entertainment media. (Glen Beck, Fox News, Rush, etc.)

These outlets encourage your paranoia to their profit. Their views are extreme and factious. I don't believe that they intellectually agree with 1/2 of the BS they sell to you. Their motive is to capture a chunk of the viewing/listening public for their personal glory and profit.

Your paranoia sets you apart from the majority of this Great Country and its founding tenants of inclusiveness and pursuit of Liberty for ALL. Please remain in this and similar blogs. Then your rantings can be marginalized as the subjective paranoia that they are.

It is you that I refuse to let indoctrinate my children. Your message of hate, separatism and unhealthy suspicion of anything that benefits anyone other than you is filthy and quite sad. And the saddest thing about it all is that as this Great Country progresses and tries to become what the majority hope for it, you will be pulled along as the social freeloaders benefiting from that change, all the while peering out from the crack in your closet of paranoia.

Based upon the positions you espouse (Obama's place of birth, adherence to the doctrine of Russian pseudo-intellectuals)I now feel free to dismiss you and let you take your rightful place along the lunatic fringe. So stand back, let social justice and inclusiveness progress like a river trying to burst through a dam of ignorance. But don't fear. The current will bring you along to higher ground with the rest of us.

Media morsels??? I find it interesting that none of the Major Media Outlets (the 'real' news) found it important to cover the Van Jones debacle (check out the lack of coverage on NBC/ABC/CBS/Washington Post/Etc). None of them covered the ACORN scandal (thank you media morsel Fox News for taking that one on). None of them truly covered the important aspects of the last election, nor do they choose to bring to light all of the BS that is going on in Washington with Barry and his strong-arm thugs. If I didn't know for a fact that the media was non-biased, fair and straightforward in reporting the news (Ha!, ain't that a good one!)...I would think that all the Major Media Outlets were scared and intimidated by the Obama Gang. If they say, or suggest, anything negative they might be cast out of the Prez's inner circle of approved media (a.k.a.: The you agree with me and I'll ask you questions at press conference's gang - Like Politico..Now there is a real News source!)

Oh, and by the way, if, for some reason, your river of 'social justice and inclusiveness' sweeps me up and starts taking me toward any ground you and your cohorts are standing upon...please, push me back into the current and let me perish because death would be a better option than having to stand side-by-side with you and watch our great country swallowed up into the abyss of the Obamanation!

Q: What's the difference between a Democrat politician and a leech?
A: A leech quits sucking your blood after you die.

Barack Obama Said He Will Restore the inheritance tax of 55%.

President Barack Obama wants more new taxes to pay for his health-care program. New taxes in the works are: taxes on beer, wine, and other alcoholic beverages as well as soft drinks. President Obama also wants to do a little cutting in Medicare expenses too..... which means retired senior citizens will pay more. Legislation also in the works will require employers to provide healthcare to workers or pay penalties.

Let's see....in April he raised the taxes on cigarettes, cigars, and smoking related products sky high. Now we have these new additional taxes coming our way. This is just the beginning of taxes to fund a government run health-care system. A system that will tax Americans to death.

Obama proposes a 28% tax on profit from ALL home sales. How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit you will have to pay a 28% tax on your gain. This will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their home as part of their retirement income.

Note: Currently there is 0% tax on home sales up to $500,000 per couple.

Obama proposes a 39.6% Dividends Tax will affect money you have invested in the Stock Market, IRA, Mutual funds, College Funds, Life Insurance, Retirement Accounts, Savings and Checking, or anything else that pays or reinvests dividends.

All this from the man who promised no new taxes for the middle class. It seems to me that Obama is not capable of telling the truth! How does he justify his lies? He says that if congress passes the laws, it's them who increases taxes, not him! The audacity!

And if all this isn't bad enough, just wait till inflation hits. It's coming folks.

In the mid-80s, most states enacted tort reform in response to problems resulting from rising insurance costs and decreasing insurance availability. Because this has been a state-by-state action, some groups have criticized the lack of uniformity and have called for federal action. ( See Table )

Since 1986, 38 have reformed joint-and-several liability rules; 23 states have enacted statutes limiting noneconomic damages, and currently 18 states have such statutes in place; and 34 states have restricted punitive damages. Research suggests that the noneconomic caps led to a "[l]arge decline in losses for both general and medical malpractice insurance" ; "increased profitability for insurers and a decrease in premiums" for medical malpractice liability insurers; and "a significant reduction in the number of court cases filed."

Nevertheless, physicians across the country are seeking additional tort reform from state lawmakers in the 2005 legislative session. Their primary goal seems to be to stabilize medical liability insurance premiums. Voters considered medical tort reform in four states during the 2004 election.

OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Sir:

I am writing to extend to you my thanks and congratulations. You have achieved a great Feat that has not been witnessed in this country since December 7, 1941, a day that shall live in infamy. Not since the Japanese naval fleet attacked and destroyed our naval fleet have the American people been so united in a single purpose. Their feelings for the need to unite were best summed up by the commander of the Jap sneak attack, Adm. Yamamoto, who said when asked to comment on his great success at Pearl Harbor “I fear all we achieved today is to have awakened a sleeping giant. It is going to be a long, difficult war. Americans are a very resourceful people with unlimited raw materials and other resources with which to wage war”.

Sir, after seven months of your administration. you have succeeded in again awakening a sleeping giant and I am grateful to you for finally showing us the real Obama, a look behind the curtain if you will. You have opened our eyes and lit a fire in our bellies by your illegal actions getting involved in the auto, banking, housing, financing and the free open market in general fiascos. In all of the above, you have violated the constitution in many ways and now you are pushing to create another fiasco with our health care system which, at present, happens to be the finest in the world. I can only guess that you decided to forget that on January 20, 2009 you placed your hand on the bible and took the solemn oath to uphold the constitution of the United States of America.

Sir, you had no right to take over GM and Chrysler motors. They were publicly held companies with directors and stock and bond holders. You had no right to fire CEO Wagoner. You had no right to put billions of OUR dollars into those companies, and then put them in bankruptcy. Shouldn’t they have just gone bankrupt without giving them billions? You had no right to interfere with the bankruptcy laws of this fine country. The laws are in place to protect executives and investors from government hacks. You broke the law Sir. But, what the hell, it was the only way to give the two companies totally to the UAW for payback for helping getting you elected and begin your massive redistribution of OUR wealth. Giving my money to its rightful owners??????? Did I hear you correctly Mr. President? Rightful owners??????

Sir, the last straw in your plan to redistribute OUR wealth “to its rightful owners” came with the Cap & Tax and the government health care takeover bills.

At this point, I want you to know that I have read them bought by courtesy of the Heritage Foundation. I am both amazed that the president can stand before us and with no knowledge of what is in either bill because you haven’t read them, answer question from the voters and lie through your teeth about how the bills are going to lower cost and make things better for us all. All anyone has to do is the math to know you either don’t know what you are talking about or you are lying to us to achieve you goals for redistribution of OUR money. I suspect it is both.

Well Sir, we now know who you really are: a true blue left wing Marxist/Socialist with absolutely no concern about trampling our constitution to reach your self imposed change in the way you think we should be living our lives.

OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT, CONTINUED:

Well Sir I’ve bad news for you. I along with 280 million buddies are fed up and mad as hell with the unbelievable damage you have done to our wonderful country.. We are not going to put up with your socialist administration and 54 czars and czarinas and allow you to turn us into a 21st century post war East Germany. No thanks..

So, yes we are going to be raising hell at town hall meetings and tea parties non stop all over this country. No matter how many union goons and black panthers and Acorn morons you send to stop us, it isn’t going to work. You have awakened the sleeping giant and have energized us to a level you aren’t going to believe. We will show you who the rightful owners of this country really are.

You have, in the past week, done your best along with your adoring media, to get people to believe that we are nothing but an unruly mob being organized and funded by the insurance industry, trying your best to gin up hatred for yet another industry you intend to put under government control. We now know you are a phony.

How dare you call good, hard working tax payers with real concern for the future wellbeing of this wonderful country, an unruly mob. I’ll tell you who our organizers are: they are the constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the pledge of allegiance. ONE NATION UNDER GOD WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. You remember that don’t you Sir? Those wonderful documents which have guided this country in it’s short history to be ric hest, strongest, friendliest nation in the world. You of all people should know what an unruly mob is. Your red shirt Acorn folks, black panthers and union gumbas, all your major supporters, to whom 20you fund with millions of OUR dollars, for a start.

We apparently have to show you and Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Dodd, Schumer, Hoyer, and their ilk who really own this country. All of you elected officials work for us and not for your own political ideologies and future. It is the way our forefathers planned it for us. It was never meant for us to be fearful of our government and we are not going to let that happen.

Mr. President, I wonder if the breaking of your oath and the damage you have inflicted on the citizens you vowed to protect might amount to treasons acts. The wonton spending of our treasure, the arrogant takeover of publicly held industries, the outrageous loss of job resulting, foreclosure of houses, 30% increase of people on food stamps?????? All of this created by you and your socialist administration. Hmmmmm. Can’t blame that on President Bush 43. To that, I would add your humiliating apologies to other countries for our young men and women spilling their blood to save their stupid asses from Nazi or Imperialism or Communist takeover. Have you ever visited the military burial grounds in France? Is that part of which is so necessary to apologize for?????

In closing the sleeping giant is awake, alive and well and next election we are going to overwhelm your goons and gumbas and storm the voting booth with honest vote. We can do it alone . No dead people need vote. We are going to sweep you and your cronies out of office with such furry you won’t know what happened. And just maybe we can get you all 25 to life in Gitmo for the damage you have created!

With all the sincerity I can muster

Robert F. Zadel

P.S.No Sir it is not Goddamn America, it is God Bless America. You remember don’t you? LAND THAT I LOVE. STAND BESIDE HER, AND GUIDE EH EH. Well, never mind.

Instead of viral emails let's take a look at an AP story:

"NATIONAL CITY, Calif. (AP) -- Police say a worker with the activist group ACORN who was caught on video giving advice about human smuggling to a couple posing as a pimp and a prostitute had reported the incident to authorities.

National City police said Monday that Juan Carlos Vera contacted his cousin, a police detective, to get advice on what to with information on possible human smuggling.

Vera was secretly filmed on Aug. 18 as part of a young couple's high-profile expose.

Police say he contacted law enforcement two days later. The detective consulted another police official who served on a federal human smuggling task force, who said he needed more details.

The ACORN employee responded several days later and explained that the information he received was not true and he had been duped.

Vera was fired on Thursday.

The world has been cooling since 1998. NASA has revised its records to show that it was not 1998, but 1934 that was the warmest on record. No matter. Now that “warming” has ended, they’ve revised the title of their shoddy campaign to “climate change”, and adopted CO2 as their new villain. There is no “warming”, but surely this “greenhouse gas” will cause its return.

John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, a person with 40 years of practical experience in meteorology: “It is the greatest scam in history…I am telling you that Global Warming is a non event, a manufactured crisis and a total scam…I am not alone in this assessment. There are thousands of other meteorologists, tens of thousands of climate scientists, [many of them PhD’s], who are as certain as I am that this global warming frenzy is based on bad science and is not valid".

John Coleman's has a BA in journalism and is no scientist. His "40 years practical experience in meteorology" consist of his being a TV weather guy.

He may, or (more likely) may not, be correct about Global Climate Change but he's not your go-to-guy for hard science.

"You don't help people by hurting those that have the means to help people! DOH!"

I think the reason these liberals are fighting so hard to TAKE from those that can help is because they've taken it upon themselves to judge those they think don't help enough.

It's a combination of, yes, people are not helping when they can and have become selfish...and those that have become prejudiced against those that have and have decided they deserve better and should take what they haven't earned or what life has not afforded them.

Maybe, just maybe, most of this (not all) can be turned around with people giving more from their hearts (starting with basic/advanced caring and sharing), and with the others ceasing to covet from their hearts what others have and desisting from doing the selfish taking.

I can agree there are times when "barging in with demands" is the only way to right some wrongs, but it is not the only way, is not always the fair way, and don't be surprised when the waves of resentment create more wrongs in a situation worse than it ever was before. People are the solution, and more laws are not the answer.

I agree. The more laws we have, the more people find ways to abuse the laws, and the more people resent that abuse, so that their patience is rubbed raw and they take it out on others who aren't to blame because the ones who are to blame are protected by the law! The victims are continually victimized and the "haves" keeping giving themselves more and more! Why can't people understand that the answer is in our hearts and the solution is in being fiscally conservative and socially responsible/accountable. Stop with the labels and THINK! Stop doing to others what you wouldn't want done to yourself even if what you're doing to others is within the law!

On Thursday, Ms. Obama decided to go “shopping” at a local “whole foods” store to purchase a variety of organically grown designer foods. The Secret Service and city police department required 36 vehicles, bomb sniffing dogs, barricades, a host of electronic equipment and closed an entrance to the City Metro; all to shut down, during rush hour, a several square block area around the White House. The First Lady then traveled one block to buy Tuscan Kale at Freshfarm Markets.

It was a clueless display, on the taxpayers’ dime of course, in order to indulge the Obamas’ particular love of designer foods. As the president once said on the campaign trail in Iowa, “has anyone noticed the price of arugula lately?” One is tempted to say Ms. Obama’s actions are especially distasteful during a time of high unemployment and great economic uncertainty.

Maybe next time she could just send out one of her assistants to buy her organic kale, and save us taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars.

Some information on Michelle Obama's job while at University of Chicago. You'll remember that she worked at the hospital prior to her husband becoming an Illinois State Senator. She was paid about $120,000 as Vice President of Community Relations. During this time, Barack was the chair of the Illinois State Senate's powerful Health and Human Services Committee - "the position tied by some to the Rezko scandal."

Then State Senator Barack Obama became U.S. Senator Barack Obama and her salary tripled to over $300,000 - for doing the same job but the job title changed to Vice President for External Affairs. In Illinois, being a court-mandated, disciplined and suspended attorney is not a problem.

Michelle Obama was not technically "disbarred". She had her right ot practice law suspended due to insurance fraud. Apparently those who are defending her do not realize she was given the choice of voluntarily giving up her license or face disbarrment after the insurance fraud trial.

She took the easy way out because she knew she was guilty.

And now we are paying her to be the first lady to her crooked thug husband Barry, (one of his many aliases). They are worse than the Clintons and all their dark twisted scandals.

What a sad day Wednesday and an embarrassment it was to hear an American President speak before the world at the United Nations to get down on bended knee an apologize once again as he pandered to the delight of tyrants, criminals, thugs, mass murders and thieves.

He declared it was time for a “New World Order” and he surrendered our country’s sovereignty to the dictates of the United Nations and the idea of American exceptionalism is dead. If there was ever any doubt who Obama is and what he stands for, it came through loud and clear in Wednesday’s speech.

Obama is a man who doesn’t like America and its way of life and the ‘change’ that he so often speaks of is to transform this country a Marxist’s Government run state. He is as radical as any of the radical Czars he has appointed and so far left that he is off the charts. Individualism, freedom, liberty and free market economies do not exist in Obama’s world.

The dangerous part of his ideology, beyond being extremely naive, he is a confirmed pacifist that will disarm this country in the face of world wide threats of terrorism against us.

He already has thrown Poland and Eastern Europe under the bus, surrendered to Russia and Wednesday he told Israel in no uncertain terms , Kiss Your Ass Goodbye. What are ally’s of the United States to think of these betrayals? Whose next?

"Everyone talks about the weather but no one does anything about it". I always thought Mark Twain had first said that, but after a bit of googling around I find it isn't clear whether it was Twain, or his friend Charles D. Warner. In any case, it isn't funny any more. We're talking about the weather more than ever, and here is something interesting. Maybe we talk about the weather more because there are more people affected by weather in this country than ever before. About 60% of the country's population lives along the coasts.not to mention all the areas people are living where our great grand pas would never live because of the unpredictable climates and disasters. and the unstoppable media coverage.

Hey doofus, the State of Illinois lists Michelle Obama as having declared her law license inactive. There are no filings against her on the Ill bar records. It's common practice to drop your law license when you do not continue to practice as you do not have pay bar fees or meet coninuing education rules.
Can't you find anything better on the nutball sites? Maybe Michelle killed Vince Foster?
More racist drivel.

Gee, there is this thing call the "Internet" where you can go to get information. Look for yourself, there are many sources that talk about Michelle Obama being barred from practicing law. The best source is from the ARDC - Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois. From their sources:

During the past campaign the main stream media refers to Michelle Obama as a 'distinguished attorney" despite the fact that Michelle Obama has been"inactive" since 1993.

Checking the records of the ARDC - Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois another Obama skeleton comes careening out of the closet.

This ADRC is for discipline reasons, not for those volunteering to stop practicing. It is COURT ORDERED, not "Michelle Obama ordered." Their website is very clear about their function and why they step in. If this was a Republican, the libs would have her up on charges already.

Schmoo, an attorney, points out, "sounds more to me like she was drummed right out of the practice of law. I am just dying to know what she did... she ran to have a court ordered inactive status done...and then no malpractice report needed to be provided.

She wanted this to 'go away" fast and furious and the details not come out in depositions, courtroom documents, rulings for the client/plaintiffs, etc..

I would love to know what she did. I believe Barack Hussein himself was also disciplined. His law license is on "inactive" he lied about ever going by any other names when he applied for bar application. He also failed to state any prior drug use (which he admitted in his books and that he had outstanding tickets that were never paid).

Michelle Obama is on COURT ORDERED INACTIVE STATUS--order said since she has been placed INACTIVE that "no malpractice record required." WHAT DID SHE DO THAT in 1993 (AFTER only 4 YEARS) HER LICENSE to PRACTICE LAW WAS REVIEWED AND PUT ON INACTIVE by a DISCIPLINARY AGENCY?

What Is the ARDC? (this is NOT the Illinois Bar-where one can voluntarily be inactive). As our name implies, the ARDC is the agency of the Supreme Court of Illinois which registers attorneys and investigates complaints of misconduct filed against attorneys holding a license to practice law in Illinois.

Our principal purpose is to assist the Supreme Court to determine a lawyer's fitness to practice law in Illinois. If a complaint is made that an attorney, licensed to practice law in Illinois, has engaged in illegal, unethical or dishonest conduct, we will investigate and, if warranted, bring formal disciplinary charges. The Supreme Court of Illinois will then ultimately decide if a lawyer should be censured (publicly rebuked), suspended (having the law license to practice either taken away for a certain period of time or placed on a probationary period) or disbarred (having the law license taken away indefinitely).

Ah yes, so much for the 'work hard and get ahead in life' school of thought that made our country great. Heck, even the state motto of the now defunct USSR, "Workers of the world unite", was taken from the communist Manifesto espoused by Marx and Engels.

The Democrats and Obama want health care insurance to be mandatory. This is against our US Constitution. If a person is healthy, or a Christian Scientist, or a believer in holistic healing, they do not go to doctors. It is totally unfair to make them buy insurance that they will not use. What about people who would rather pay the doctor for the doctor visit, pay for the x-rays and the blood tests out of their own pocket. What is wrong with that? To make health insurance mandatory is WRONG, they cannot take away our CHOICE.

Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) received a handwritten note Thursday from Joint Committee on Taxation Chief of Staff Tom Barthold confirming the penalty for failing to pay the up to $1,900 fee for not buying health insurance.

Violators could be charged with a misdemeanor and could face up to a year in jail or a $25,000 penalty.

It’s our government and WE should be able to do what is best for us. I propose that we throw the whole Congress and Senate out of office. Institute six (6) year term limits retroactively in the house and twelve (12) years in the Senate, and refuse to allow them to become bureaucrats by playing musical chairs… no skipped second term. Take away their ability to vote themselves raises and retroactively take away their lifetime pensions, tie their raises to the cost of living. Make this a true opportunity to serve our country. This is the same medicine that they prescribed for AIG during a fit of political mania and it is only right that they be held to the same standard.

They just ordered over a half billion dollars (550 Million to be exact) of new planes to shuffle themselves around the country. Cancel these orders, which due to negative press it seems they are going to do and require them to fly coach… take away all private aircraft. We are in bad times and our congress doesn’t recognize it.

Require that every member of the House and Senate go under the same plan as all Americans, including the president. Mandate that if they voted for this bill they are required, unless they pay out of pocket for health care, that they and their immediate families are required to go under the public health plan until their demise. One of the biggest swindles in history is that they have excluded themselves from this health care plan.

Stop intentionally twisting the intent of Freedumb's poignant words, dfart. Most reasonable people have got little to no problem paying reasonable taxes, spent reasonably and for good reasons. The problem is not "having a government", it is the creation of an unfair, unconstitutional, and overpowering government that is TOO BIG and that our Founding Fathers specifically outlined against!

I agree there can be huge amounts of spending cuts...but to use this money saved from these cuts to better fund and reform what we do have. I'm tired of being taxed at higher rates to surmount the bad spending debt caused by politicians, and NOW I'm being taxed to death to pay for others what they won't earn themselves (and/or are NOT entitled to) and pay for those others to have what I can not afford myself for my own family!!!! You don't help people by stealing from the ones who are in the position help people! Nobody wins!!

Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he eats for life. The problem is that people nowadays know they should learn but think it's easier to skip learning and take from others. There are so many people (voters) who think this way, the politicians (who need votes) have and are dangerously pandering to this "gimme, gimme" BS.

As the Wisconsin Attorney General noted in April of 2009, the orderly open carry of holstered handguns is not only legal in Wisconsin, it is protected by the state constitution. In fact, Wisconsin is just like most states where open carry is allowed without any permit. Unfortunately Wisconsin state law bars the open carry of holstered handguns in vehicles and within 1,000 feet of any school.

The Supreme Court struck down the federal school zone gun ban as unconstitutional in US v. Lopez, and school zone gun bans like Wisconsin's are almost unknown in other states. If you support open carry in Wisconsin, please sign the following petition to remove these bans from our second amendment right to bear arms.

Threw Poland and the Czech Republic under the bus

Snubbed the War in Afghanistan in order to go to Europe to try and get the 2016 Summer Olympics for Chicago, while we have troops who need help.

Managed to gain the praise of: Fidel Castro, Momar Khadafi, Hugo Chavez, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Managed to offend NATO and has appeared weaker than France, the country which invented the white flag.

It is indeed a sad day when both the French President and the British Prime Minister appear stronger than does the President of the United States.

I will admit, though, that way too many high paid school administrators (from both parties) are doing their fair share of causing erosion within and to our children's educational system, and conveniently blaming the growing lack of district funds on the "broken business model" in school systems that these school administrators think they are CEOs of. Our schools are not their personal "wall streets" and all children's education is not their playground to boost resumes, book sales, and salaries or continued benefits packages as retired consultants.
