I must admit, I was not a fan of General Stanley McChrystal when president Obama promoted him to four star general, and then appointed him the new commander of American forces in Afghanistan. (Replacing the then commanding General David McKiernan and banishing him to a less than honorable forced retirement.)

And since his promotion and appointment to command in Afghanistan, General McChrystal has done absolutely nothing in my opinion, to either distinguish himself in his new command, or to provide any indication that he was/is the supposed necessary answer, to turn  the war around in Afghanistan.

Americans should not be confused as it concerns what is going on in Afghanistan, or with what is going on with president Obama's goals in Afghanistan or the region. And Americans should not be confused as it concerns defense secretary Robert Gates and president Obama's decision to keep him in this administration.

Robert Gates (as Secretary of Defense) didn't make the decision to replace General McKiernan in Afghanistan, he was only the president's message boy delivering the president's message of firing. The fact that Gates remained secretary of defense after Obama assumed the presidency, speaks to only one reality and that reality is that Gates is a yes man and a rubber stamp for this president and he knows it. One misstep? One crossing of the official policy line? One attempt to speak out on his own or take any position contrary to the president's? And Robert Gates will be gone every bit as fast or faster than General McKiernan was.

I don't have anything personal against General Stanley McChrystal. I am sure that he is or was a competent commander, but he made a mistake by taking his present command and by accepting this promotion IMO. I have to question in my own mind, what he could have possibly been thinking when he accepted the position. Did he not realize that he would be nothing more than a caretaker while Obama purposely imploded the war and reduced manpower and funding until defeat was obvious? Did he not realize that he would be absolutely powerless to exert any command prerogative or initiative to affect the direction of the war? Did this graduate of West Point and former Special Forces commander not realize that he was being set up as a "patsy" by this president?

Or was he simply dazzled and beguiled by the thought of that fourth star on his shoulders. Either way, it is more than obvious to this casual observer (and many others for that matter), that since assuming command in Afghanistan, General McChrystal's only accomplishments have been to let it be known that America is losing the war and that if something isn't done soon, we will lose the war completely.

His first warning that we are losing the war (a month or so into his command and assessment) was quickly denied by the White House and the general's statements were disavowed by the Obama administration as having been taken out of context. But the general persisted a couple of weeks later and once again expressed his serious concerns over our capability to fight and win this war under current constraints of manpower and funding.

Then last week the real bomb shell exploded. The media learned (leaked) that General McChrystal had submitted his review of Afghanistan to the president, before Obama had left for Labor Day on Martha's Vineyard. And Obama had done absolutely nothing with the report or the general's recommendations since receiving them, three weeks earlier. we can only assume, that the report includes the general's request for additional troops and funding.

And as of last night's interview with the general on 60 Minutes, it was learned that General McChrystal has only spoken to his commander in chief once since he has been in Afghanistan and in charge of the war. Once in the last seventy days (according to the general's own admission) has he spoken to the president concerning what is going on in Afghanistan. As a betting man, I would be willing to wager that lone conversation occurred not long after after the General's first misstep by admitting that we are losing the war.

(The entire 60 Minutes piece can be viewed here.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/09/28/gen_mcchrystal_warns_of_mission_failure_in_afghanistan.html

Having watched the 60 Minutes interview with the General? I am not impressed. My take of his admissions and positions, is that he in attempting to manage the war from a political perspective, as opposed to a military one. Limiting air strikes and daily conference calls with the Pentagon won't win this war. Neither will his other command decisions like ordering flags to not be lowered for our honored dead just to name a few.

General McChrystal may have been sent to Afghanistan to make assessments and determinations, but he wasn't sent there to win a war IMO. The man is not a warrior. He is a military bureaucrat and a power point driven commander in my estimation. Someone that may have been trained and may know in theory what needs to be done? But one who doesn't know how to apply that knowledge and skill practically in a real time environment IMO.

Are we losing the war in Afghanistan? If you asked me, I would say yes, without a doubt. We began losing it just as soon as this president took the reins of office and that was further evidenced just as soon as he appointed General McChrystal to command the war in Afghanistan. Are we losing the war in Afghanistan? At the present time we have already lost it IMO.

Was General McChrystal so stupid as to not know that he was being used and set up for the fall? I don't believe so. The general knew exactly what he was doing by accepting this command. Therefore, his reasoning can only be based in one reality IMO. There was a fourth star in it for General McChrystal. He may have thought that he could make a difference, or that he would be allowed to actually command the war and make the appropriate determinations once he was there, but he has now learned that is not the case. And IMO, he was only lying to himself to ever believe otherwise with this president.

As I said earlier, General Stanley McChrystal was brought on board and promoted by president Obama for one reason and one reason only. He was to be the interim caretaker over the affair, while Barack Obama imploded the war and his leftist media convince America that the war was lost and not worth continuing. Which is a campaign the media in America began in earnest about two weeks ago with their push polls and drum beat of supposed discontent with the war by most Americans.

It's a sad epitaph as it concerns General McChrystal IMO, but he (as we use to say in the Corps) has booked a loser. And the only honorable thing that he can do as a general and as a career Army officer at this point, is to firmly pace the gauntlet on the table with his commander in chief. McChrystal needs to make his positions known to the president and stand by the integrity of his assessment. He needs to stand by that decision on behalf of our men and women in the field who each require no less than integrity from their commanding general.

And if the president refuses to accept the general's assessment on the war and what is needed and what will be required to win it? Then General McChrystal should resign his command and return to Washington. Whereby his last official act before leaving the army, should be to return that fourth star before its cost completely tarnishes his otherwise notable career.

Bill Clinton speaks of vast, right-wing conspiracy

Barack Obama and those on his team may have been the one's to first envisioned never letting a good crisis go to waste? But the Clinton's were and remain way ahead of the curve when it comes to the democratic past time of demon branding their political adversaries.

It's 1999 and Bill Clinton is being pummeled by accusations of his illicit affair with a White House intern, and his wife raises the specter of the vast right wing conspiracy. A sinister grouping of adversaries whose sole purpose is to destroy his presidency.

We all know what followed, including his squinty eyed blustering and finger pointing at the camera to attempt and deny the accusations. Remember? Back when he looked America straight in the eye and lied his a s s off. "I never had sexual relations with that woman......Ms. Lewinski."

But that was then, this is now. What does the present have to do with the past? Enter one Bill Clinton (democrat fallen patriarch) to explain it to us little people all too well. Barack Obama is now on the receiving end of that same vast right wing conspiracy that attacked Bill! The same people are literally out to destroy his presidency! The same one's that came after Bill!

I wonder? Are conspiracies like other elements and forces in the universe? Are there always equal and opposing forces and entities at work as Issac Newton suggested? Certainly there must be. Have we not just spent eight years watching the democrats and their "vast left wing conspiracy?" Engage in the exact same thing and do all in its power to destroy George Bush?

Is there really any difference between then and now? I mean aside from the outright lies and open attempts at smearing Bush in their seething attempts to bring him down, what difference is there.

But suddenly Bill Clinton would like us to believe that there is some uniquely sinister force afoot. A force whose entire purpose in life is to seemingly smear and debilitate an otherwise good and moral man. Here's a clue.....there are no good or moral men (or women) in politics today. Just look around and try and prove me wrong.

To achieve the office of the presidency in America, one must have long ago forfeited their spine, character and morals and made their deals with the devil.

But it is amusing to see one who was literally the charlatan's charlatan, attempting to broad brush the background and the foreground on behalf of the one who both toppled and ended the Clinton dynasty in American politics. 

Politics truly does make for strange bed fellows.

Swiss Arrest Roman Polanski for Possible Extradition to U.S. in Sex Case

Most people under fifty have little to no idea who Roman Polanski is, or what he does or what he did, or who he was involved with. But the rest of us remember.

First off and probably most notably, he was the chic European junior director who was married to Sharon Tate of Manson murders fame. Then about ten years later he supposedly was caught having sex with some 14 year old girl and fled back to Europe where he has remained for the past thirty years a fugitive from American justice.

There is only one question that begs the asking IMO. Well actually there are two questions, but the important one is this......"how many people actually believe that the present day United States legal system intends to extradite this pervert back to America for prosecution of what in essence is a statutory rape charge at best.....and thirty years after the fact.

Of course the next question and as far as I am concerned, the equally as important question, (if not more important) is who gives a rat's rotisserie?

It's been thirty years and no one has ever cared enough to arrest this heathen on these charges before now. And it wasn't like he was on Interpol's Ten Most Wanted list and has been hiding in some cave in the Alps. So stop wasting my time and my tax money pursuing some aged moron whose greatest claim to fame is that he was once married to a beautiful woman who was murdered by lunatics.

Joe Biden update: He calls some fellow Democrats 'turkeys'

"I don’t have to tell you that you’re in a very competitive state,” the vice president said, according to the press pool notes. “You got some tough votes coming up.”

Biden called the three men “independent minded” and “damn competent,” adding, however, that they were all united on core Democratic Party themes, including energy policy and healthcare.

“These guys are smart, "Biden asserted. "Some of the guys Chuck [Robb] and I have campaigned for are turkeys. Not all Democrats are created equal, while most Republicans are.”

Sometimes, you just gotta let Joe talk. He is the best appointment that Obama has made to date. (From a republican point of view).

Obama: Iran Must Cooperate or Face Consequences

I don't know who first coined the phrase, but the truism still holds IMO, 'never come to a gun battle armed only with harsh words.' Yet that is precisely the style of our president and the way that he seems intent upon dealing with the Iranians and their nuclear ambitions.

Is it any big surprise that the Iranians and Ahmadinejad have only become more and more emboldened by our lack of response to their threats and their ongoing pursuit of nuclear weapons over the past five years? Make no mistake, George Bush should have done something about this rogue while he and we still had the chance. But he didn't.
And neither did the UN or Europe who were supposedly keeping an eye on their activities and prepared to intervene.

And now that the task is left to the "appeaser and apologist in chief?" I somehow don't see any major sea change concerning US policy toward the Iranians happening in the near future. If anything, we will retreat further behind the diplomatic apron strings of the UN and its track record of wishing and hoping that problems like Iran will simply go away. Oh! I almost forgot.....there are always sanctions!

The UN is in majority responsible for these rogues like Iran and NM Korea.

The Iranians grow more and more emboldened by the day and as they do, they are increasing their nuclear capabilities to wage war against Israel and to provide nuclear weapons to terrorist that are more than capable and willing to use them against us.

Meanwhile, Barack Hussein Obama is engaged in the performance of a lifetime. All he needs is a toga and a violin to complete his ensemble and you probably wouldn't be able to tell any difference between him and Nero.

<span style="font-style:italic;">"My offer of a serious, meaningful dialogue to resolve this issue remains open," Obama said. "But Iran must now cooperate fully with the International Atomic Energy Agency, and take action to demonstrate its peaceful intentions."</span>

<span style="font-style:italic;">"Iran's leaders must now choose -- they can live up to their responsibilities and achieve integration with the community of nations. Or they will face increased pressure and isolation, and deny opportunity to their own people."</span>

<span style="font-style:italic;">"On this, the international community is more united than ever before ... that Iran must fulfill its responsibilities," Obama said.</span>

And what do the Iranians have to say about the messiah and his mumblings and rattle sabers?

<span style="font-style:italic;">"This new plant, God willing, will soon become operational and will make the enemies blind," Mohammad Mohammadi-Golpayegani, who heads Khamenei's office, said, according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.</span>

They recognize that hollow sound emitting from the cavity where a back bone has never existed in the man that we elected president of these United States.

Every week there are more and more reports of terrorist being discovered on our shores and planning our demise and attacks against us. So how long before one of them is blessed with the gift of nuclear weapons by Ahmadinejad and the Iranian Ayatollahs or their buddy Kim Jong in N Korea. And for how much longer will the American people allow this interloper to sell our future and our children down the river.

Which brings me to the closing of my comments today. The phrase "selling down the river." It originated to denote the practice during the slave trade to describe how the people of Africa sold their own people into bondage and slavery. Shipping them down the river to the slave traders and a life in servitude.

Therefore, I feel that it is ironic, that we would reach a point in our time and history when a black man would ultimately do to us as a nation, that which was done to his people for generations.

Ironic isn't it.

Iran Reveals Existence of Second Uranium Enrichment Plant

I am not going to belabor the point by going back over the obvious in any  great depth, but the bottom line of this news today? Should in all fairness be.....Is this some kind of shock or surprise to anyone?

Hasn't this little tin horn been telling the world for the past several years that he was going to do as he damn well pleased as it concerned his intentions to pursue nuclear assets?

Of course he coyly covered his lies concerning Iran's nuclear ambitions, by attempting to portray Iran's desire to obtain nuclear materials as nothing more dubious than it's interest in only the peaceful use of nuclear power. Of course his lies about that had barely fell silent to the ear before he was threatening to wipe Israel off the map.

And how might one guess that he might accomplish such a task? Provided he actually wanted to carry out that threat. Bingo!

So there you have it friends and neighbors. Why should anyone but especially the president and the democrats be shocked or surprised by today's revelation of Iran's secret nuclear facility.

Or should we not all possibly take the same tact as our loyal opposition of the past eight years? Should we not simply pronounce by acclamation to the world, that this is all a lie and our little Iranian tin horn doesn't have any WMD's now and nor will he ever be capable of possessing them. He's just building reactors for his power grid. Right?

Environmentalists Seek to Wipe Out Plush Toilet Paper


Yes friends and neighbors, the looney left is now coming after your individual a s s. Not satisfied with killing off American industry, capitalism and your way of life, they are now coming after your own dear little back side as their newest target of American indulgence.

They want your toilet paper. And they want your to use something that has been created by one of their recycled visionary wizards of vegan mother earth.

Stand by....there may be a rush for the commodity! The Stock exchange may begin trading in Wiping futures soon.  Hoarding will probably follow, but in the end (pun intended) you may be forced to resort to the corn cob twist like they did back in the old days.

And hey! With all those husks left over from bio fuel production? There should certainly be enough cobs to go around. Now, all we have to do is figure out how to flush them things and how to package them.

Barack Obama's churlishness is unforgivable

There are several reports in the media this morning, outlining the perceived snub of the British PM Gordon Brown by our dear president. But I found this writer in the Daily Telegraph's version of summation to be personally the most interesting.

David Hughes is billed as the Daily Telegraph's "chief leader writer." And he is credited as having covered British politics for 30 years. Therefore, I can only assume that this dear fellow knows and recognizes churlishness when he sees it. Although I must admit that my less than vast command of the king's English sent me looking for Mr. Webster's tutelage on Mr. Hughes choice of word in describing Barack Obama.

It seems? That "churlish" has two primary definitions. The first: 'of, resembling, or characteristic of a churl : vulgar' The second and more appropriate in its intent as used by Mr. Hughes: 'marked by a lack of civility or graciousness : surly.'

So there you have it. On at least one level, there are those in the UK that saw president Obama's intentional snub of Gordon Brown as churlishness. And somehow? I tend to believe there are probably more than a few in the UK who see it precisely the same way as Mr. Huges.

The surly arrogance of this president has been visited now on several of America's European allies. Lest we forget how President Sarkozy was treated by the insolent rebuff of president Obama during the D Day invasion anniversary ceremonies at Normandy and hosted by the French back in June.

Or what of his snubbing of Angela Merkel the PM of Germany? On the very same trip to Europe as the one where he snubbed Sarkozy. Merkel was given the Obama presidential cold shoulder when he intentionally bypassed Berlin and a meeting with Angela Merkel and opted rather to visit Dresden. Of course PM Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, never even rated a visit from the messianic one on that trip to Europe and the middle east.

Or what of last week when Obama snubbed the leaders of both the Czech Republic and Poland by withdrawing the promised missile defense shield? And he did it on the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Poland seventy years ago.

So the question almost begs the asking.....Does Gordon Brown feel that he is special? Should the British people feel that they are privileged and should be allowed a special confidence and position influence with this American administration?  Apparently not. Particularly if you make the determination of that qualification based upon the actions of this president toward the British to date.

As an observer of very little consequence, I find it almost amusing to see Europe writhing in mass at the insolence of the socialist interloper now occupying the Oval Office and standing this week before the UN and directing to the world what he thinks their level of participation in the grand scheme of his plans ought to be.

I remember now too many years past, when the previous president was perceived as surly for having the audacity to call out the axis of evil (Iran and N Korea). He then told our friends and allies in Europe and the UK that they had better get on board with helping to defend both their own security and our security. Yet the suave socialist controlling most of Europe wanted none of that. They smirked and snided and sniped at George Bush for eight years while demonstrating their own finer skills and talents of churlishness to the American people.

The UK under Tony Blair may have committed British troops to Iraq and Afghanistan and the British people may have been our most supportive Allie in these wars against terrorism, but they have also been on the forefront of criticism against America for having the audacity to defend itself against Islamic created terrorism in the first place.

As an American, I would have thought that after their own attacks of 7/7? That the British (of all people) would have closed ranks and become closer allies with America. But that has not been the case in my observation.

There are many in the UK who have fumed over the UK's involvement in support of the war on terror and they continue to fume and spew their outright hate and disagreement against America at every turn over our involvement in both Iraq and Afghanistan. So now? Americans are supposed to give a twit that the British PM has been snubbed by the messianic one upon arriving at the G20?? I hardly think so.

Gordon Brown's political life light is waning. The man has never struck me as being of more consequence than a lesser player in the now all but dead Labour party in the UK. His party is dying by the day and so is his own political future. Gordon Brown made his overtures to Obama when he visited Washington right after this president was sworn in. And what did that get him? Oh yes....now I remember. A dysfunctional set of DVD's and a drubbing by the media on both sides of the Atlantic for not being more of a man and standing up to Obama.

I am sorry, but I have no pity for Gordon Brown. The churlish snub of Gordon Brown is of no greater or lesser consequence of relevance than that of the others who have suffered the same fate at the hands of this sophomore of change since he became president.

IMO? If these European leaders want to get into the swing of things and get themselves invited to the A list of conversations with this president? Then they should pick of the phone and call Hugo Chavez or the deposed dictator of Honduras. Perhaps a call to Fidel Castro or Kim Jon, or Mahmoud Ahmadi Nejad. President Obama has already spoken with most of them since taking office and he has expressed a willing interest in doing so with all of them, since before he was elected.

Perhaps Gordon Brown can barter and invite from one of the more notable players in Obama's universe of world leaders that he is interested in speaking to.  Of course, there is the possibility that if Gordon Brown were to bow and kiss the hand at his next encounter with Obama before leaving the G20 summit this week? Then maybe, just maybe the messiah could find a few minutes and squeeze him in before Brown leaves for his return to the UK.

Critics Assail Obama's 'Safe Schools' Czar, Say He's Wrong Man for the Job

So what did the president's newest Czar (the one he recently appointed director of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools (OSDFS) have to say for himself in his 2007 autobiography?

Well let's see.....

"I got stoned more often and went out to the beach at Bellows, overlooking Honolulu Harbor and the lights of the city, to drink with my buddies on Friday and Saturday nights, spending hours watching the planes take off and land at the airport, which is actually quite fascinating when you are drunk and stoned."

Where does the president find all of these quality people?

Tough political realities quiet youth 'Obamamania'

Apparently there are a lot of Obama maniacs that thought that all they had to do was vote the messiah into office and the land of milk and honey and freebies for everyone would soon follow.

"It's one thing to get excited about a presidential candidate. It's another thing to become a responsible citizen," says Jennifer Donahue, political director for the New Hampshire Institute Of Politics. She and other political analysts thinks they have yet to prove themselves.

A responsible citizen? Is that what they are calling it? It that what they are attributing this to? Is that what the enlightened academics and the campus student movements see as the real reason that the honey hole remains plugged?

"They're supportive, but in a bystander kind of way," says Laura Katz Olson, a political science professor at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania.

Well of course they are. What do people expect? That these mush brained masses (raised on the government answers all teat of government and absent ever having taken any personal responsibility in their own lives), are actually going to congeal and come together as a force on any level to effect some form of change?

That ganja these folks have been smoking all those years must be some good quality, cause they forty years later still can't seem to figure out reality.

The reality is pretty simple as my father use to say......"wish in one hand and p i s s in the other and see which gets full first." And it seems that the cumbaya singers that wanted to teach the world to sing? Have passed those aberrant and defective genes and non existent skill sets of non critical thinking onto their offspring.

Yes, there is a lot to be said for the reality that some people should never be allowed to breed. All you have to do is look around to see that demonstrated ten fold every day IMO. And those that spent their youth and adult years discovering themselves and experiencing life after Woodstock through rose colored glasses, intermingled with hating their country and blaming everyone else for their own personal failures seem to have succeeded in producing successive generations of the same as themselves and worse.

I remember seeing the woman interviewed by the media right after Obama was elected......she was black and appeared maybe twenty something and she was absolutely thrilled at the perceived prospects of not having to pay her house payment or for gasoline etc. because Obama had been elected.

And now that Obama (the messiah) had been elected, he was going to knock the spigots loose on all the honey and everyone would simply bathe and bask in the coming glow of hope and change and just back up to the government filling stations of free money and drink their fill.

Now, fast forward to the present. Since Obama was elected? They have already jacked the prices of tobacco with added taxes and the plan to do the same to colas and anything else that they can get away with taxing. And who do these people think will be paying those added taxes? Certainly not those Americans making under $250.000 a year or less! After all, the messiah promised they would never be taxes by his administration. The same way he is promising now that there will be no added taxation required to fund his socialist health care fiasco and that those on Medicare won't lose any benefits. Problem is? Those in the Congressional Budget Office Who actually know who and how these things get paid for? Are whistling a different tune and telling the people the truth. (Look for them to be muzzled soon).And the truth is? There is absolutely no way to pay for all of this socialist Nirvana without raising taxes on the producers and penalizing the producers and ultimately denying the aged what they presently have as benefits under Medicare and Medicaid.

But there is one glimmer of hope is a few isolated areas....

Erin Carroll, a 19-year-old sophomore at LaSalle University in Philadelphia, blames the lack of engagement on her generation's short attention span. They want change — right now, she says — and haven't gotten it.

"I feel like everybody walks around with their cell phone and their laptops. We feel like we need everything immediately. So that's what we've become accustomed to," Carroll says. "We're the 'me-me-me' generation."

Therefore, I leave you with a couple of simple realities to ponder while you observe the Obama minions and maniacs coming to grips with reality.

"There are three types of people in this world. Those that watch things happen, those that make thinks happen and those that wonder what happened." So all you need to do, is to determine which one of the three that you intend to be and then take some personal responsibility in the outcome of making that happen. Or do nothing and you will by default be a member of the wonder what happened segment.

Lastly, as a great American (John Wayne) once remarked.

"Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid."

Something tells me that there are a boat load of these stupid people that are getting ready to learn some very valuable and very painful lessons along those lines. And just remember as someone else said recently? "You can't fix stupid."

Now....entertain yourself with these two videos while you contemplate the messiahs promises this week.

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? I don't know, but I know how many presidents can dance on one. And Obama is clearly dancing to his own drummer and dictating to the media what he will and what he won't discuss and talk about as evidenced by these two exchanges with George Stephanoploulis.
 

He also once again seeks to lecture Stephanopoulis.

And then to turn around and not only admit that he hasn't been paying much attention to the ACORN fiasco? But to say that "frankly, it's not even something that I have followed closely" and "I didn't even know that ACORN was gettin (sp) a whole lot of federal money."

IMO? This smacks of far worse elitism than his statement at the Saddleback church debate where he said that making judgements concerning abortion were above his pay grade.

"George....this is not the biggest issue facing the country and it's not something that I am paying a lot of attention to."

That says it all folks. The man refuses to hear the people and he refuses to be questioned by the media on any of his proposals. And on top of that? He states categorically what he has determined to be important and focused on. Therefore, the voice of the people and even a complicit media have no business questioning him beyond what he came to talk about.

The man's hubris knows no bounds.

Last week president Obama in essence turned his back on eastern Europe and conceded appeasement to Vladimir Putin and the Russians on the missile shield that had been agreed upon by us and our allies in eastern Europe.

We turned our backs on them and cowered away from the saber rattling of the Russian bear. Charles Krauthammer says it far better than I can and he brings what has happened into crystal clarity and perspective.

Watch for the next move to be from the Chinese and probably involving Taiwan. 

New Government Policy Imposes Strict Standards on Garage Sales Nationwide


As each day of the Obama administration passes, it becomes more evident and obvious to me that there are zealots afoot at all levels of our government now. While most Americans have been weighing and questioning the validity of potentially allowing the government to manage their health care, the obvious parallels of complete absurdity and incompetence continue to spill forth from Washington like a waterfall.

The analogies and reasons why we should run screaming from any federally mandated health care program are almost endless. Can a government that cannot even manage a cash for clunkers give away program be trusted with our health care and our children's future?

Should a government that cannot even manage a government postal service that is imploding and bankrupt and is completely incapable of competing with the private sector, be allowed to manage our health care nationally?

Should the federal government, who has already turned the Medicare and Medicaid programs into the world's largest and most expensive and unmanageable public health care program, be allowed to pass the same tragedy on to us all? I ask these questions rhetorically yet they remain prescient IMO. As does another recent revelation of our imperial federal government in Washington.

Unbeknownst to most Americans, the Consumer Product Safety Commission slipped a nifty little piece of regulation into law and they are now about to apply it to Americans all across America. It seems that if you intend to have a garage sale now?

You had better download the Federal Consumer Product Safety Commission's manual and obtain a copy of all of their product recalls going back decades. And you had better dutifully search through this government maze of regulation and prohibition? Or else you might be fined from $100,000 to $15,000,000 per violation for selling something you possess at a garage sale. Something as seemingly innocuous as an "Easy Bake Oven."

Heaven forbid that you should offer up a set of lawn darts, or horse shoes or an old wood burning set that doesn't have all it's warning stickers. Do that? And they will probably come down on you like gang busters and be talking prison time. At what point does the ridiculous and absurd in federal regulation reach a level where the people of this country will say enough is enough? And if this is the government's version of looking out for the interests of our children?

Just imagine what they have in store for those who might attempt to sell a firearm to a friend or neighbor. As a matter of fact? They are already hard at work on that too.

Have a look at Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 (H.R. 45)

Meanwhile, take that Easy Bake Oven to the crusher post haste, (while you still have time) or else the brown shirts may be paying you a visit soon. Ande it probably won't be long before they have government monitors in the check out line. Taking notes on those buying cookie dough in small quantities while pushing children around in their buggy.

Michelle Obama Says Women Are “Crushed” by Health-Care System

A front page story being carried on the Drudge Report right now, cites Michelle Obama's weak attempt today to try and prop up her husband's failing health care plan. Michelle obviously hasn't seen the polls from today, or she would realize that her husband's popularity is sinking faster than the Titanic. And the more that he (or she) continues to talk about it, the worse the numbers have gotten. But what I found unique about the coverage on Drudge as it concerns Michell's pitch today, was the keying on the wardrobe. They actually referred to Michelle's belt as a bondage belt. And you know what? I can easily understand why. (Click on the photo above to enlarge it and read it more clearly.)

 

See the problem? The woman has absolutely no fashion sense....none!

Legalize illegals to get them health care

"Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don't simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken," Mr. Obama said Wednesday evening in a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. "That's why I strongly support making sure folks who are here legally have access to affordable, quality health insurance under this plan, just like everybody else.

Mr. Obama added, "If anything, this debate underscores the necessity of passing comprehensive immigration reform and resolving the issue of 12 million undocumented people living and working in this country once and for all."

If there ever was any doubt of this man's intentions concerning illegal immigrants or who he intends to pay for them, then I believe there is no better evidence than the testimony from his own lips Wednesday in his Wednesday evening speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. (excerpt above)

America had better wake up and pay attention to who and what this man is preaching and pandering to. From the issues of our borders and illegal aliens by the millions, to the creation of a socialist welfare state of health care, to taxing this nation into oblivion to pay for his health care and cap and trade fantasies, to basically turning his back on eastern Europe and colluding with the Russians.

America had better wake up and pay attention, because I can promise you that our enemies have and are. From Kim Jong in N Korea to Ahmadinejad in Iran, to the Chinese. They are all sizing up America under the present regime and they are preparing to make their moves and carve out their own spheres of influence in the world.
