Obama Agenda: Failure to finish

The only failure in anything that is attempted is the failure to finish what you start. For Obama to gain credit, at this moment, he will have to make the economy his priority. If he cannot get the economy back on it’s feet, get people back to work, and turn a backward spiral around, he will not be able to make any other project a success, or gain support for it. Health Care Reform, for millions of people out of work, is like tossing daisies at a coffin; it’s a nice sentiment, but it serves no purpose.

Destroying America

Literally. The Obama administration wants to bulldoze entire swaths of American cities in order to re-engineer them. The next logical step is forced re-locations.

Dozens of US cities may have entire neighbourhoods bulldozed as part of drastic "shrink to survive" proposals being considered by the Obama administration to tackle economic decline. ~telegraph.co.uk

Obama’s Decision: Right or wrong

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei sided with Ahmadenajad and declared the election of last Friday a “definite victory.” He further stated, “If the difference is 100,000 or 200,000 or 1 million, one may say fraud could happen. But how can one rig 11 million votes?” Eleven millions votes might be hard to rig in a country where web sites were not shut down, where people could use their cell phones with ease, or where foreign press was allowed to observe the countries reaction to the election, but all of these, according to widespread reports through the American media, have been taken away from the Iranian people. These are excerpts from Newsmax.com, but multiple media outlets have reported the same information.

History Doesn’t Repeat, but it May Rhyme

I love my American heritage of freedom and I believe, maybe naively, that liberty is the natural state of humankind, even if most humans still do not enjoy it and we face real world constraints on our actions worldwide.

In the 1980s, the communist empires were cracking. President Reagan needed to negotiate with the regimes withholding freedom from the people of Eastern Europe, but he also never forgot whose side we were on. We negotiated with the rulers, but stood with the people. Many people in the U.S. questioned this stand. They said it was empty rhetoric at best, or maybe even dangerous.

Voter Fraud: Widespread in 2009 elections

Time magazine reported the reasons that might make the Iranian elections of this past weekend seem suspicious. Among them were unusual amounts of voter turn out, voters being barred from voting stations, support across the country seemed strangely consistent given the differences in elections of the past. Any of this starting to sound familiar to those who voted this past November in American voting stations?

Three letter word

What's a three letter word meaning, "Created or saved?" Why, *J - O - B - S*, of course. Quite simply, the dishonesty and doubletalk from Obama and his administration are epidemic and incurable. Obama is a compulsive liar. Everything he says is a lie, a purposeful deception, meant to disguise a radical leftist agenda to 'transform' America.

Health Care: Crisis unhealthy for Americans

In order to avoid more job losses, the senate was instructed at the urging of Obama to pass a $787 billion stimulus package. The threat that loomed was answered with money that has not been dispersed, as yet, and probably will not make it’s way into the economy until the race for senate seats heats up in the fall. The unemployment rate has topped 9 percent and continues to rise, and the president seemingly ignores this statistic while he makes his grand push to put the American taxpayer into further debt with a package for health care that no one has been able to appropriately calculate the cost of, or find ways to help curve the cost if or when it is implemented.

Obama in Cairo: Dictating Policy or Furthering Political Agendas

The distrust of the Palestinian nation has its most recent origins in a terrorist organization known as the Black September Movement. Their claims to fame, vengeance, what have you, were the murder of the Prime Minister of Jordan, and 11 Israeli athletes during the 1972 Olympic games in Munich. The push by the Obama administration for peace is a misguided one, at best, and disregards many factors that have and probably will exist for many centuries to come between the Israeli and Palestinian people. This is not a small conflict between two countries that developed overnight or within the time frame of the Obama administration; this war has existed for many decades and throughout several U S presidential administrations.

Economic decisions

Il Duce would be proud. The government, that is, Our Great Leader, has decreed that the car market will change and it shall be so.

Obama's new rules will transform US auto fleet
DETROIT (AP) - Some soccer moms will have to give up hulking SUVs. Carpenters will still haul materials around in pickup trucks, but they will cost more. Nearly everybody else will drive smaller cars, and more of them will run on electricity. ~news.moneycentral.msn.com

Petty dictators

Power corrupts. Even the power of citizen democracy corrupts: Home Owners Association demands ex-marine scrape semper-fi sticker off his car or else...

NK has nukes. So what?

So what if North Korea has nukes? (We're safe, we have Obama.) Even so, folks at the UN are acting as if this were an unwelcome surprise. A commie-cult controlled nation has nuclear weapons-- What's the worst that could happen? And what, if anything, is anyone going to do about it?

Socialism is slavery

What's key to understanding Obama's presidiency? He ran as a centrist, promising to unite America with promises like cutting taxes for 95% of Americans. (What do you call a 'tax cut' when you don't pay any taxes?) Once elected, The-One Party government has proposed zero tax cuts and quite a few tax increases and proceeded to balloon the deficit beyond any previous government.

Tortured Denials

First of all the term torture is used by liberals entirely too liberally. Loud music, sleep deprivation, and even waterboarding are not torture in the classic and visceral sense the word is meant to convey. But Pelosi and the democrats, in their utter dishonesty, have painted themselves into a wonderfully torturous corner.

A Middle Road for Health Care Reform

Medicare is on track to be broke by 2016. To skirt this progress, the President wants to institute vast reforms with front loaded costs in the billions or trillions (depending who you talk to), and to commit the government even deeper to entitlements to conjure universal health care. Republicans offer nothing but an ideological call for a free market health care system… We’re in trouble. But former HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt offers a middle road that makes a lot of sense.
