Honduras Gives a Constitutional Lesson to Obama and the World

The Honduran people gave us a lesson on how a constitution is supposed to work and be followed.  While we are pissing on and shredding ours, they are honoring and following theirs.  They also showed great courage to continue following their convictions and their constitution in the face of political and economic pressure to cave in to the demands of both the thinly and not so thinly veiled communist countries and organizations around the world.  They are being led by people who are actually not afraid to speak the name of God in public, and to incorporate His guidance in their actions.

Here's to you, Honduras.  Well played.

With New Leader Installed, Shunned Honduras Seeks International Recognition

Friday, January 29, 2010

By Patrick Goodenough, International Editor


(CNSNews.com) – Honduras took a big step away from its protracted political crisis this week when its new president was sworn in and his deposed predecessor flew into exile, but the new government still faces a challenge in winning international recognition.

Only three presidents, those of Panama, the Dominican Republic and Taiwan, attended Wednesday’s swearing-in of conservative President Porfirio Lobo. Several other regional governments sent foreign ministers. (Notice that Che Gue-bama wasn’t anywhere near the place. Had it been a tin pot communist dictator taking power, Chairman Maobama would have been right there licking his boots.)

The United States, which recognizes the new government, was represented by the assistant secretary for the Western Hemisphere, Arturo Valenzuela.

Also on Thursday, Lobo’s leftist predecessor, Manuel Zelaya, left the mission and flew to the Dominican Republic. He vowed to return someday. Zelaya was ousted five months ago and later sought refuge at the Brazilian Embassy.

Wednesday’s developments in Tegucigalpa, the capital of the small Central American country, marked a defeat for Zelaya’s regional allies, led by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

Critics saw Chavez as a leading behind-the-scenes player in Zelaya’s bid to change the constitution to extend presidential term limits – as Chavez and several of his leftist allies have done in their own countries. (This is a key thing to note here. Continue to read about how a constitution is SUPPOSED to work…)

Zelaya’s move violated Honduras’ constitution and triggered a Supreme Court ruling that led to his ouster by the military. His abrupt departure, says Heritage Foundation senior policy analyst Ray Walser, was “a serious blow to a key Chavez ambition: a radicalized, anti-American Honduras.”

In line with constitutional rules of succession, Zelaya was replaced by congressional speaker Roberto Micheletti, who served as interim president until the previously scheduled presidential election in November.

In the election, 62 year-old rancher Lobo of the National Party took 56 percent of the vote, easily beating his nearest rival, the candidate for the Liberal Party (to which both Zelaya and Micheletti belong.).

Zelaya’s removal was viewed by many governments, including the Obama administration, as a “coup.” (This was all going on about the same time O-bow-ma was kissing My-mood I’m-in-a-jihad’s butt, and licking Hugo Chavez’s boots. Had a communist/Marxist dictator taken over, Obama would have hailed it as a “victory for the people.”)

Micheletti’s interim administration came under sustained international pressure to allow Zelaya to serve out his term. (Only the leftists were pushing for this. Conservatives and constitutionalists cheered the fact that Honduras actually obeyed and stood up for their constitution.) The U.S. froze aid, revoked diplomats’ visas, and backed a decision by the Organization of American States (OAS) to suspend Honduras’ membership. (Again, at the behest of the O-bow-minator.)

An accord negotiated by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias called for the reinstatement of Zelaya, the creation of a national unity government, and a “truth commission” to look into the circumstances of his ouster. (All very Stalin-istic. This is what we can expect from failed organizations with leftists goals like the OAS and the UN.)

But lawmakers in December overwhelmingly voted against reinstating Zelaya. The interim government refused to back down despite the outside pressure, choosing to hold out until the date for the formal start of the new presidential term. (I only wish America would display such a spine.)

Lobo has pledged to work to promote reconciliation between Hondurans who supported Zelaya – many or most of whom boycotted the election – and those who applauded his ousting.

During his inaugural speech, the new president signed a decree, approved earlier by lawmakers, granting amnesty to Zelaya and shielding from future prosecution anyone involved in his removal from office.

The move drew criticism from Amnesty International. “Failure to sanction abuses that took place during the coup d’etat could give a green light to further violations in Honduras,” said the group’s Americas program deputy director, Kerrie Howard. (Kind of reminds you of Al Gore crying about the outcome of the 2000 presidential election, doesn’t it? These are the same voices from around the world who want to see Bush and Cheney tried for “war crimes.” To these nut jobs, it’s only a war crime if you’re not a communist dictator murdering millions of your own people.)

‘Bible and constitution’

Micheletti, who will now return to Congress, attended a special Mass Wednesday at a church in Tegucigalpa, where said he wanted to thank God and his supporters for their help during the crisis. (Finally, someone who understands that “separation of church and state” only applies if a) you’re trying to impose a state mandated religion, or b) you’re trying to destroy the moral base of a country so you can institute a communist system.)

He urged Lobo to govern with the Bible in his right hand and the constitution in his left, and called on the international community to support the new government, saying that Honduras had done nothing but defend its democracy. (I think these fellows are more in touch with our founding fathers than we are. The GET IT!)

Governments refusing to recognize Lobo base their stance on the fact he was elected in a vote organized under an “illegitimate” interim administration. (Only viewed as “illegitimate” by those who weren’t happy with the outcome. The Hondurans followed their constitution and the law to the letter. This should be viewed as a victory for law and order.)

In the region, they are led by Venezuela and its leftist allies, as well as members of the Mercosur trade bloc, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Venezuela’s ambassador to the OAS, Roy Chaderton, protested during an OAS council meeting on Wednesday that Lobo’s inauguration had completed “the successful circle designed by the coup plotters in Honduras.” (Communist propaganda.)

Critics of the OAS decision to freeze Honduras’ membership over what they considered essentially an internal constitutional matter contrasted the move with the regional body’s decision just months earlier to scrap a 47 year-old resolution that expelled Cuba for its alignment with the communist bloc. (THIS says it all. A bunch of communist dictators trying to prevent a seed of freedom from sprouting in their back yard.)

With its member states divided over the issue – those recognizing the new government include Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador – it remains unclear how the OAS envisages dealing with Lobo.

OAS Secretary-General Jose Miguel Insulza said last week developments in Honduras would have to be “evaluated by countries.”

“In the case of the OAS, a process of gradual return of Honduras to the democratic community will have to be initiated,” he said. “We hope it will happen as soon as possible, and we are ready to help in whatever is necessary.” (Unlike the communist and/or dictatorial regimes making this phony offer, the Hondurans are quite able to handle this change of administration because they followed THE LAW.)

Regional powerhouse Brazil’s role will be particularly important.

Brazilian Foreign Minister Celso Amorim on Thursday seemed to leave the door open for a shift in the future, saying that his country’s position remained unchanged “for the moment” but it would watch how Lobo governs. “Everything depends on the new president.”

Meanwhile, Lobo faces not just a struggle for recognition but also severe economic challenges. Even before the political crisis and punitive steps by the international community Honduras already had the highest proportion of people living below the poverty line in Central America and, according to the CIA World Factbook, “extraordinarily unequal distribution of income and high un- and under-employment.”

“The costs of Honduras’s isolation have been substantial,” says Walser. “It has created a climate of uncertainty for businesses and investors. Honduras also suffers from generalized economic recession and a loss of remittance earnings that undercut its already fragile economy.”

Walser said the Obama administration must quickly end sanctions against Honduras, including the denial of visas. It should also press for the country’s return to the OAS, and international recognition.

State of the Union-Loving, Narcissistic, Undocumented President

Lie after lie after lie. David said it quite well when he said "Obama not only wasn't contrite about his broken promises and disastrous record; he was on the attack, daring anyone to oppose his agenda."

Here are a few of the adjectives I would use to describe Chairman Maobama's State of the Union(s) speech: angry, narcissistic, disjointed, dishonest, unrepentant, unpresidential, classless, lacking decorum,and pathological.

The writer of his speech should be fired, then taken to the woodshed for the number of lies, lack of facts, and other breaches of decorum in the speech. But we know that will never happen, because O-bow-ma believed just about every word of the speech (except, of course, the part about drilling for oil and building nuclear power plants.)

The few democrats left that might remotely consider themselves as AMERICANS need to head for the life boats. The true "progressives," the followers of "the one," are going down with the ship.

It's time to start whispering "IMPEACHMENT."

There Was the President's Speech, and There Is Reality
By David Limbaugh
January 29, 2010

Watching President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech makes me wonder whether the reason he tells so many fibs is that he believes them himself. Either that or he is an even better actor than he is a teleprompter reader.

Obama not only wasn't contrite about his broken promises and disastrous record; he was on the attack, daring anyone to oppose his agenda -- even in the face of the Massachusetts rebuke. But let's see how some of his statements match up with reality.

On health care, he taunted congressmen to "let me know" if any of them have "a better approach that will bring down premiums, bring down the deficit, cover the uninsured, strengthen Medicare for seniors and stop insurance company abuses," as if his own plan would do those things.

Even the Congressional Budget Office has said most of the Democratic plans would increase the budget. Besides, you can't reduce overall costs when government forces an increase in demand, even if it caps insurance premiums and shifts costs elsewhere and/or imposes rationing. The CBO has also reported that with Obamacare, millions would remain uninsured. So under his plan, costs would rise, quality and choice would decrease, care would be rationed, millions would remain uninsured and, worst of all, the government would acquire an unprecedented level of control over all aspects of our lives.

Do conservatives have better ideas? Of course. Restore market forces through tort reform, strengthening health savings accounts, abolishing government coverage mandates, allowing consumers to purchase policies across state lines and eliminating the tax laws incentivizing employer-provided health care, which unnecessarily increase demand by making prices invisible to consumers.

A candid Obama would have said, "If any of you have a plan that does not involve restoring market forces and reducing government's role in the health care industry, I'll at least pretend to look at it." "Make no mistake," neither Obama nor his Democratic colleagues will support genuine health care reform, because to reduce costs, we must reduce government control, and they can't abide that. Period.

As for spending, Obama didn't once apologize for his reckless expenditures. Instead, he blamed his soaring deficits on his predecessor, completely misrepresenting the projected deficits under President Bush and ignoring his own deliberate doubling of the national debt over the next 10 years. That's the issue Americans are losing sleep over, and he offers only Band-Aids and smoke and mirrors.

He says he will freeze a portion of the discretionary budget, but as Cato Institute reports, 83 percent of the budget will be off-limits. Other than his "stimulus" insanity, the real explosion in spending is occurring in the entitlements that he refuses to touch. Even his mini-freeze wouldn't begin until 2011 (why wait?), and it would be dwarfed by his planned spending increases for other socialistic projects, including a new "stimulus plan." And how about that assault on personal and fiscal responsibility with his promise to forgive student loans after 20 years?

How Obama can stand before the nation and insist on spending more borrowed money to accomplish something his first "stimulus plan" didn't achieve (job creation), but exacerbated, is beyond me. How he can blame President Bush for his own broken promise that unemployment wouldn't exceed 8 percent if his "stimulus" bill were implemented is jaw-dropping. He even said he saved 2 million jobs. Scary delusional! Or scary sinister!

Speaking of chutzpah, did he actually dare to utter the words "transparent" and "accountable"? How about those phantom legislative districts receiving stimulus monies, Mr. President? How about that promise to televise the health care debates on C-SPAN?

He said he hadn't raised income taxes "a single dime" on 95 percent of the people. Yet in almost the same breath, he promised to redouble his efforts on cap and tax, which would increase the average family's energy costs by almost $3,000 per year. I don't believe his campaign promise was limited to income taxes, by the way. (He also said he had CUT taxes on the middle class. Being solidly in the middle class, I think I would know if that had actually happened. Reducing my withholding so it looks like I’m getting a tax break, when it actually pushes me into a higher tax bracket forcing me to pay that much and more on April 15th is NOT a tax cut. A “stimulus” check, which just gives back a small portion of what was mine to begin with, is not a tax cut. Giving that same “stimulus” check to those who don’t pay taxes at all is just a handout, and communist redistribution of our hard earned money.)

How about his righteous ranting on earmark reform? Sorry, we've been down that twisted road with you before, Mr. President. (There were some 9,000 earmarks in the O-bow-ma porkulus bill. I’d call that a step in the right direction, wouldn’t you? (facetiousness intended))

Then there was his audacious riff on lobbyists. Been there, done that, too, Mr. President, with your phony promise to keep lobbyists out of the White House.

Obama also railed against "partisanship, shouting and pettiness" as he filled most of his speech with just those things, even castigating the Supreme Court, erroneously, for opening the door to foreign corporations' campaign contributions.

How about his statement that "America must always stand on the side of freedom and human dignity"? Hmm. Tell that to the Iranian and Honduran peoples. He must have meant once he's out of office.

Then there was his bizarre out-of-body pivot, when he blamed Washington for our problems. (Narcissistic clown.)

All of this, especially Obama's obvious incapacity for self-doubt, is disturbingly surreal. (It’s like the speech he gave the other day on “tax cuts.” In that speech, he said “I” over 120 time while mentioning the subject of the speech, tax cuts, only TWICE. It’s kind of like the Toby Keith song “I wanna talk about me.” (I wanna talk about me, Wanna talk about I, Wanna talk about number one…) He is a self-centered, communist/progressive, anti-America, probably NOT American danger to America, our constitution, and our way of life.)

Obama and Dems: Fiscal Responsibility is for Suckas’

Just like he has for the last year, and throughout his candidacy, O-bow-ma is lying to us again.  He thinks we are all stupid.  After all of the broken promises he has made, why should we even entertain the thought that he might be telling the truth this time?  Even if his “spending freeze” becomes a reality, it is like trying to bail out the Pacific Ocean with a tea cup.
Imagine that you send your son or daughter to college.  They come home at the end of the first year and confess that they have run up a $50,000 tab on your credit card.  But they say “It’s OK, Dad.  I’m going to freeze my spending at that level for the next 3 years.“  Does that make you feel any better about going to the poor house?
If we are serious about cutting the debt and the deficit, stimulating the economy, and preserving the American way of life, then we will not only cap NON-DEFENSE spending to include Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and all the other social entitlement spending that no one is actually “entitled” to, we will do away with the IRS, the Department of Energy, the Department of Education, and most of the other unnecessary governmental agencies that don’t live up to the purpose for which they were commissioned.  Return to the LIMITED role of government that was intended by our founding fathers, and watch Americans rise to the occasion and restore us to our place as the greatest nation on earth.

GOP Skeptical of Obama’s Commitment to Fiscal Prudence

(CNSNews.com) – While calling for a modest spending freeze and the creation of a bipartisan task force to examine government spending, President Obama also announced a number of new spending proposals in his first State of the Union address. (It’s worse than a woman who spends $3,000 at the after Christmas sales and comes home boasting of how much money she has saved.  Obama is saying “I’m going to save money by spending more of it.”  Let’s see him put his money where is big, fat, left-leaning ideological mouth is and donate his entire salary to charity.) …

…The freeze – which is projected to save $250 billion over 10 years — would make only a marginal dent in the federal deficit, which was $1.4 trillion in 2009 and will be an estimated $1 trillion per year for the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The national debt, meanwhile, is $12.3 trillion.  (Understand that his “freeze” only saves $25 billion per year, while running up an additional $1 trillion deficit per year.  So Obama’s scam ONLY SHAVES 2.5% FROM HIS SKYROCKETING SPENDING.)

President George W. Bush’s final budget for fiscal year 2009 included $589 billion in discretionary spending. Obama’s first budget proposal for fiscal year 2010 hiked non-defense discretionary spending by 19.5 percent to $704 billion. …

Spending Cuts – Not Revenues – Key to Solving Budget Shortfall, GOP Leaders Say

(CNSNews.com) – Top House Republicans Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said that spending cuts, not increased revenues, were the key to resolving the nation’s projected $6 trillion in deficit spending over the next decade. …

…“Keep in mind the president promised he was going to go through that budget line-by-line and scrub that budget. I have a dream someday the president’s going to do what he says,” Gohmert said. (he’ll scrub defense spending and anything not directly connected with buying votes for liberals from the budget.)…

…“Their progressive ideology is taking us down what I call a tipping point, after which a majority of Americans are [more] dependent upon the federal government than they are on themselves – a kind of European-style welfare state where high unemployment is a fixture and there is no reward for personal initiative and responsibility, people just expect the government to take care of them.”…

…CNSNews.com asked Ryan whether he supported doing that by cutting spending by $6 trillion over the next decade, the amount necessary to return to a balanced budget. Ryan said that not only did he support the idea – his legislation provided a responsible way to do it. …

Sen. Gregg: Eliminating Some Federal Agencies to Reduce Spending Is ‘Great Idea’

Washington (CNSNews.com) – Sen. Judd Gregg, the Budget Committee’s ranking Republican, told CNSNews.com that eliminating some federal agencies to reduce spending – with the goal of balancing the budget — is a “great idea.” …

… “Well, you’re going have to reduce the rate of growth of the federal government,” (Hey, Judd.  How about STOPPING the growth of the federal government?  This windsock style double speak is why you need to follow your democrat counterparts to the train station and board the train permanently leaving Washington.) Gregg told CNSNews.com. “You’re going to have to increase the activity in the economy to get the revenues back up, but yes, you’ve got to control spending — that’s the bottom line.”

“We’re spending too much money,” Gregg continued. “We’ve taken the size of the government — 20 percent of GDP, up to 25 percent of GDP — just in a year, and we simply can’t sustain a government that’s 25 percent of GDP.” …

McCain Says He Supports Cutting Federal Spending Enough to Counter the $6 Trillion in New Debt CBO Predicts over Next Ten Years

(CNSNews.com) – Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday he would support cutting federal spending enough to counter-balance the $6 trillion in new debt that a newly released Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report indicated would be added to the federal ledgers over the next ten years if current laws govering taxing and spending are maintained. …

… Is each of you prepared to support that budget, or–excuse me—spending cuts to that extent over the next decade to bring the budget in line over the course of 10 years?”

“Yes,” said McCain, ”and everybody’s going to – the reaction to this is going to be, ‘It’s too hard. We can’t do it. It’s too hard. You can’t do it. You can’t do that.’” …

… McCain’s chart showed that the federal debt in 2001 was roughly 57.4 percent of GDP back in 2001, but was projected to balloon to 114.4 percent of GDP by 2019. As a reference point, the highest that ratio ever climbed during World War II was 121.7 percent, just slightly higher than these new projections. …

Senate Budget Chairman: ‘We Can Handle’ Current Level of Debt But Long-Term Trajectory ‘Unsustainable’

(CNSNews.com) – Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) in reference to the latest economic forecast by the Congressional Budget Office [CBO] said “we can handle” the current level of debt. (You think so?  We can never pay off the debt we have today, much less if we pile another $6 Trillion in debt.  You say we can handle it like we did post WWII.  But that assumes we have an economy that actually produces wealth.  If we don’t bring back industry and business to America with a favorable business environment, we’re finished.) …

… In the long-term, “if we stay on the course we’re on, it is completely and totally unsustainable – the debt that will approach 400 percent of the Gross Domestic Product of the United States,” Conrad said. …

Sen. Casey Won’t Commit to Cutting the $6 Trillion Needed to Balance the Budget; Blames Bush for Deficits

(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) would not say, when asked, if he would support a federal spending cut of $6 trillion over the next decade, the amount needed to bring the budget into balance, according to a new Congressional Budget Office report. …

… “Well, what we need to do is get back to fiscal responsibility, and one of the problems — one of the reasons why we’re still in the hole, and digging out of the hole, is because President Bush came into office and ran up — he and his Republican friends — ran up a lot of deficits,” Casey said. (There it is.  You knew you wouldn’t have to wait long to hear a democrat blame Bush for something, anything, and everything.  As irresponsible as Bush and the Republicans were in the previous 8 years, Obama and the democrats have more than doubled what Bush spent IN JUST ONE FREAKING YEAR! So shut that putrid pie hole under your stuck up elitist noses, you stupid liberals.  The “blame Bush” excuse is over.  You bought this steaming economic turd.  You own it now.)…

… In addition, the CBO said the unemployment rate would probably not go below 9 percent until 2012, while individual income taxes are expected to rise by 33 percent in 2011. (Did you copy that?  YOUR INCOME TAXES WILL GO UP 33% NEXT YEAR.  That should piss you off to the point you are frothing at the mouth.  Mr. O-bow-ma throws lavish parties and jet sets all over the world living at our expense with no worries at all.  He sacrifices NOTHING while we are pushed into the salt mines.  If my taxes go up 33%, I’ll be bankrupt.  He can come and try take my house from me in person.  I’d like that.)

President Obama has announced that he would like a three-year freeze on ‘non-security’ spending which would amount to around $15 billion saved per year — a small fraction of the total projected deficit. (Yet he will do nothing to CUT spending.  Saying he has identified $25 Billion in cost savings (which I don’t believe) is just as insulting as saying he has “saved or created” umpteen million jobs when the unemployment rate continues to march steadily upward every month.  He’s lying about that AGAIN.  EVERY month since he has been in office an additional several hundred thousand people have lost their jobs.) …

Obama’s State of the Union, January 2010: Unpresidential and Uninspiring

An open letter to Barack Obama in response to his State of the Union speech:

---

State of the Union, January 2010

Mr. Obama, here are my reactions to and impressions of your State of the Union speech last night.
First of all, let me make one overall recommendation to you, Mr. Obama.

Grow up and take responsibility.

You say “I’m not interested in re-litigating the past.”  Yet you continue to blame George W. Bush for EVERYTHING under the sun.  You point fingers and blame everyone else on the planet for your problems, and for things you don’t like while dodging any and all personal responsibility for events taking place in America now.  It makes you look immature and petty.  The minute you signed onto the stimulus and began taking over companies and banks, you owned this economy, and your senatorial votes during the Bush administration played a significant part in the economy’s demise.

You said that you understand the “burden of working harder for less,” and “I know the anxieties out there now.”  Really?  Sir, most of your life has been one of privilege financed by others.  Now you are at the pinnacle of that life living in the lap of luxury, throwing lavish parties, traveling all over the world, flaunting power all at the expense of the American taxpayer.  If you really understood, you wouldn’t be throwing your weekly parties for your cronies, and you wouldn’t be spending millions of taxpayer dollars flying all over the country and world on Air Force One just to get photo ops for your never ending campaign.  You would be staying in Washington, D.C. working on REAL, bipartisan solutions.

You stated that you had cut taxes for millions of us in the middle class.  Really?  Being solidly in the middle class, I think I would know if you had.  Allowing us to keep more money up front and then taxing it away from us on April 15^th is not a tax cut.  Mailing me a check for a SMALL PORTION of the tax money that was mine to begin with is a REBATE, not a tax cut.  When you mail those same checks to the 50% of Americans who don’t pay income taxes anyway, that’s just a handout.  When you’re charitable with your own money, that’s generosity.  When you’re charitable with OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY, that’s called THEFT or REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH when it’s done by the government.

You talk of creating government/public service jobs to help the economy.  Since you were supposedly a “professor,” I would expect you to be educated enough to understand that public-sector, government jobs by definition CAN NOT CREATE WEALTH, which is what will stimulate our economy.  A government job by definition takes money away from the economy to pay for itself.

Mr. Obama, you said you wanted a “jobs bill” on your desk immediately.  Sir, here’s the jobs bill guaranteed to create jobs, and stimulate economic growth.  I’ve delivered it to you before congress could, and kept it so brief that any child could understand it.  Here it is.  Are you ready?

CUT TAXES!

Cut personal income taxes, cut corporate taxes, and eliminate the “death” and “marriage” taxes, and I GUARANTEE that the economy will take off like a rocket.

You also mentioned that you were going to “double exports” to reduce our trade deficit.  That sounds good, but how do you plan to achieve that, and what do you plan to export?  The liberal policies of taxing businesses and creating a business climate that forces them to move their businesses overseas has left us with very little to export.  When you make a corporate environment that ATTRACTS businesses, we will once again produce what the rest of the world wants, and exports will be a natural byproduct of that.

When it comes to health care reform, you have been wrong, and continue to be wrong.  You have been dishonest in your dealings with the American people, and have outright lied about the “transparency” that was supposed to be the hallmark of these negotiations and of your administration.  CSPAN?  How’s that working for you?  I guess I just missed all of those broadcasts, because I haven’t seen any of them.  You said “if anybody has a better idea (about health care) let me know.”  Oh, dear Lord in Heaven (I can introduce you to Him), please keep my head from exploding.  You and the rest of your “progressive” (read communist) buddies have SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED REPUBLICANS from the entire process, and refused to listen to, include or consider ANY of their ideas while crafting your government takeover of the health care system.  Sir, the ideas are there but you are unwilling to listen to any ideas that do not fit your agenda.  Tort reform, tax cuts, competition across state lines, and several other ideas have been put forth that are proven successful strategies for making health care better and more affordable.  Yet you won’t allow them to be put on the table because they don’t pay your union buddies, or contribute to the takeover of health care.  I pause to conjure the spirit of Rep. Joe Wilson.

You said you were going to “freeze spending for three years.”  You speak of how that won’t start until 2011 because “that’s how budgeting works.”  How convenient that it works out that you are putting it off until AFTER the midterm elections so that any possible pain associated with your policies won’t be felt until after Americans cast their votes. Your “spending freeze” sounds good to the uninitiated and uneducated that you hoped were the majority of your audience last night.  But the reality is that you have already allowed HUGE spending increases in nearly every government agency that they wouldn’t have seen in the next 5-7 years COMBINED.  Then you exempt the largest portion of government spending from any freeze.  That would be the ENTITLEMENT SPENDING upon which you and the liberals depend for your political lives, and to which NO ONE IS ACTUALLY ENTITLED.  If you were serious about eliminating the deficit, and paying down the debt, then you would get serious about ELIMINATING GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.  Go to a flat tax (which is a FAIR tax) with no exemptions and eliminate the IRS.  That would save about $11 Billion per year.  The Department of Energy was established to “end our dependence on foreign oil.”  How would you say that’s working?  The DoE is about as useful as mammary glands on a boar hog.  Scrap it and save the billions of dollars per year that it sucks up from the tax payers.  You could legitimately close the doors of 75% of the Federal government with no negative impact on America.  You would in fact allow America to prosper by simply getting government out of the way, and saving us all of that money.

You speak of dismantling our nuclear arms and “agreements” with the Russians.  You obviously are not a student of history.  When we weaken ourselves, our enemies do not follow suit.  Whether it be the Soviets/Russians, the Iranians, or the North Koreans, they have proven themselves to be liars.  They will say whatever you want them to say to gain short-term political favor.  They will not disarm themselves.  Disarming unilaterally and dealing from a position of weakness will only open us up to aggression and attack from the likes of Russia, China, and Iran, not to mention the many terrorist groups who want nothing more than to see Americans die.  We need to be the biggest, strongest kid on the block to ensure peace for us, and for the rest of the world.

The one thing from your speech on which we agree is the building of nuclear power plants, and removal of restrictions on offshore drilling.  Everyone agrees that we need to try to develop clean, self-sustaining forms and sources of energy.  But letting private innovation lead the way and develop products that Americans ACTUALLY WANT is the only way to make “green” energy a success.  By forcing it down our throats while demonizing and destroying our other inexpensive, reliable forms of energy will only destroy those jobs before new ones emerge, skyrocket the cost of energy (which you promised us under YOUR plan), and destroy an economy that depends on energy at an affordable price.  I’m beginning to think this may actually be your intent.

Finally, you displayed your true, anti-American, communist, thug, street organizer colors when you quietly announced your “enemies list” during your speech.  You and your band of thugs like Rahm Emanuel bully and intimidate people to get your way.  You did so with Fox News and the other news outlets when you declared that Fox News was not a legitimate news organization, would not be treated as such, and that the other “news” outlets would be “wise” not to treat them that way either.  Attempt to destroy one to make an example of them, and use fear to control the others, a strategy from your idol, Saul Alinsky.  In a total breach of decorum and decency, you publicly flog the Supreme Court, who can’t defend themselves, and lie about their decision that actually reaffirms the 1^st Amendment freedom of speech.  You hand down the list of people whom you will combat and try to destroy if they stand in your way, a list which includes bankers, capitalist “fat-cats,” the Supreme Court, and anyone in the media or with a microphone, megaphone, or pulpit from which to deliver a message that exposes the fallacies of your agenda.  You are blatantly trying to stifle free speech.  Woodrow Wilson and FDR were two of the “progressives” who employed similar tactics.  No more, Mr. Obama.  We will not tolerate your attempts to silence us.

Mr. Obama, you simply don’t care about Americans or America.  The people of Massachusetts, a solidly liberal state, sent you a loud and clear message.  But you won’t listen.  Congress didn’t give you what you wanted, so rather than reevaluate whether what YOU want is what Americans want or need, you boldly declare that you will simply sign executive orders to bypass the congress, and any other entity that stands in your way.  You attack and besmirch the Supreme Court because you don’t control them.  You lied when you said you “never said you could end divisiveness and start a post-partisan, post-racial era.”  BULL CHIPS!  You campaigned on EXACTLY THAT PROMISE!

Sir, you are an arrogant, dishonest narcissist who is a danger to America.  You attempted to include yourself in the greatness of America when you said that “our ideals built America.”

Mr. Obama, it was OUR ideals that build America, NOT YOURS.

Out of patience,
///SIGNED///

STOP the Insanity!

Why don’t we just remove the ceiling completely? Why is there money anyway? Why can’t everything just be free? What if somebody came up to you on the street and gave you ten million dollars?

Sound a little like a 5 year old? Sadly for America, it also sounds like our liberal government.

There is this thing called REALITY that the current group of elitists just doesn’t grasp. They CAN’T keep spending money at the rate of $100 Billion a day and expect our nation to survive. They CAN’T continue the ever increasing death spiral of spending on “entitlement” programs to which NO ONE is legitimately entitled.

Washington is going to have to make some tough choices if America is to survive, and I’m afraid the American citizens are going to have to force them to make those decisions. We are going to have to wean the lifelong “breast feeders” from the teat of government dependence. They are literally going to squeal like babies when forced to become independent and provide for themselves, but they must be made to do so. A man that CAN’T work, I will gladly feed. However, a man that WON’T work can starve as far as I’m concerned.

Government must be limited to spending on the things to which it is CONSTITUTIONALLY mandated. Government must then GET OUT OF THE WAY of Americans and LET THEM SUCCEED. If government gets out of the way, America will once again be the most successful, most productive, and most prosperous nation on earth.
Or we can keep passing out OPM (other people’s money) that won’t actually be earned for another 10 generations like candy and watch our nation collapse into the dust bin of history.

Charity with your money is compassionate. Charity with other people’s money is THEFT.

Democrats propose $1.9T increase in debt limit

By ANDREW TAYLOR, Associated Press Writer Andrew Taylor, Associated Press Writer Wed Jan 20, 6:39 pm ET

WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats on Wednesday proposed allowing the federal government to borrow an additional $1.9 trillion to pay its bills, a record increase that would permit the national debt to reach $14.3 trillion.

The unpopular legislation is needed to allow the federal government to issue bonds to fund programs and prevent a first-time default on obligations. It promises to be a challenging debate for Democrats, who, as the party in power, hold the responsibility for passing the legislation.

It's hardly the debate Democrats want or need in the wake of Sen.-elect Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts. Arguing over the debt limit provides a forum for Republicans to blame Democrats for rising deficits and spiraling debt, even though responsibility for the government's financial straits can be shared by both political parties.

The measure came to the floor under rules requiring 60 votes to pass. That's an unprecedented step that could mean that every Democrat, no matter how politically endangered, may have to vote for it next week before Brown takes office and Democrats lose their 60-vote majority.

Democratic leaders are also worried that Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., who opposed the debt limit increase approved last month, will vote against the measure.

The record increase in the so-called debt limit is required because the budget deficit has spiraled out of control in the wake of a recession that cut tax revenues, the Wall Street bailout, and increased spending by the Democratic-controlled Congress. Last year's deficit hit a phenomenal $1.4 trillion, and the current year's deficit promises to be as high or higher.

Congress has never failed to increase the borrowing limit.

"We have gone to the restaurant. We have eaten the meal. Now the only question is whether we will pay the check," said Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont. "We simply must do so."

A White House policy statement said the increase "is critically important to make sure that financing of federal government operations can continue without interruption and that the creditworthiness of the United States is not called into question."

Less than a decade ago, $1.9 trillion would have been enough to finance the operations and programs of the federal government for an entire year. Now, it's only enough to make sure Democrats can avoid another vote before Election Day.

Republican Sen. John Thune of South Dakota immediately offered an amendment to end the bank and Wall Street bailout, officially known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP. Thune would prohibit further expenditure of TARP funds and would require that all funds paid back be used to retire debt.

The latest increase comes on top of a stopgap $290 billion measure that cleared the Senate on Christmas Eve. Given the country's finances, that measure would last only about six weeks, lawmakers said, requiring the far larger measure that's pending.

The Sheeple Have Awakened

Mr. (undocumented) president, I know you don’t care, but here is what America thinks of you and your agenda.

They F’ing HATE IT!

Since honor is something you don’t possess or display, I’m sure you won’t do the honorable thing and resign, or at least DO WHAT YOUR EMPLOYER TELLS YOU TO DO.

So I guess we’ll have to do it the hard way.  We will oppose your socialist agenda at every turn.  We will vote your fellow socialists and communists out of office.  If you haven’t been impeached or run out of Washington, D.C. on a rail by 2012, we will vote YOU out of office.

The sheeple have awakened, Mr. Obama.

Even the SEIU (members, not the union itself) See Scott Brown as Better Candidate

Even the rank and file SEIU union members are beginning to see the light! Hallelujah!

Vote for Scott Brown… and Bring a Friend!

One of the best Scott Brown lines from the rally:

“When it comes to terrorists, I’ll give our troops the weapons to fight them, not the lawyers to defend them.”

Quite a turn out.
I hear reports that the Coakley rally featuring the undocumented president was something of a flop. People started leaving early, with only a small crowd remaining at the end.
Remember the Scott Brown statement that the senate seat in question “is not Ted Kennedy’s seat, it’s not the democrat’s seat, it’s the people’s seat?”  Well, in a Coakley add that surfaced this weekend, she has stolen that line and tried to use it as her own after she saw the positive impact that it had.  Shameful.

Tea Party Endorses Scott Brown for Massachusetts Senate

Liberal Desperation Mounts as Brown’s Momentum Builds in Mass.

The liberals are DESPERATELY clinging to power, and are pulling out all the stops to hang on to it.  They are slinging mud, calling names, making plans to stiff-arm Brown’s confirmation until they can swing a vote on health care, and planning to get that vote by circumventing the constitution by using a voting measure intended to keep governments from shutting down when a budget must be passed.

Harry Reid, Obama, Pelosi, Dodd, Frank, and all the rest of these tyrants must go.  They care nothing about the American people, only about power and setting up a system that gives them and/or people they designate more of it.

Time is growing short.  Donate via the internet to Scott Brown’s campaign so he can fight back against the onslaught of deceit from Coakley and the democrats that is sure to happen this weekend.

Expect an “October surprise” this weekend.  The democrats will likely come out with some outlandish charge on Sunday or Monday before the election that will not give Brown enough time before Tuesday’s election to effectively counter it.  The thing he needs is AIR TIME, and that’s expensive.  Let’s help him have the ammunition to fire back.  I’ve already donated twice from my last two paychecks.  It wasn’t much, but it was all I could afford to give.  It all adds up.  Donate what you can.

Schumer Pulls ‘Tea-Bagger’ Card on GOP Candidate Brown

FOXNews.com
New York Sen. Charles Schumer, who famously hammered then-Sen. Alfonse D’Amato for calling him a “putz-head” in their hot 1998 campaign, was accused Thursday of stepping into the gutter himself after he sent out a fundraising e-mail in which he called Massachusetts Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown a “far-right tea-bagger.”

Health Bill Can Pass Senate With 51 Votes, Van Hollen Says

By Jonathan D. Salant

Jan. 16 (Bloomberg) — Even if Democrats lose the Jan. 19 special election to pick a new Massachusetts senator, Congress may still pass a health-care overhaul by using a process called reconciliation, a top House Democrat said.

That procedure requires 51 votes rather than the 60 needed to prevent Republicans from blocking votes on President Barack Obama’s top legislative priorities. That supermajority is at risk as the Massachusetts race has tightened.
…
Using reconciliation would likely force Democrats to scale back their health-care plans. The procedure is designed to make deficit-cutting easier by reducing the number of votes needed to pass unpopular tax increases and spending cuts. Lawmakers can’t include policy changes that the parliamentarian deems have only an “incidental” connection to budget-cutting, and senators would need 60 votes to override those rulings.  (Reconciliation was NOT intended to pass these kinds of bills.  “The constitution and the law be DAMNED!” say the democrats.  “We want what we want, and we want it now.  We don’t care about America.”)

Defeat Martha Coakley: She wants to decide when “Religious Freedom” is really “Free.”

Are you a Catholic who works in the health care industry?  Martha Coakley doesn’t believe you should.  She doesn’t believe you have the right to morally object to certain things AND work in health care.  If you are a health care worker who objects to killing babies (especially after having taken the Hippocratic oath), then Martha thinks you shouldn’t be working in health care.  However, I bet she has no problem with a muslim who refuses to touch pork products working as a cashier in a grocery store, but who will not service customers with pork products in their baskets.


Who is she to decide what you can and can’t object to?


If you want bigger government, less freedom, and higher taxes, then by all means vote for and/or support Martha Coakley.

If you want smaller government, proven leadership, lower taxes, and a turn away from the social, moral, and economic abyss toward which we are hurtling, vote for and/or support Scott Brown for Massachusetts senate.

Martha Coakley: Devout Catholics ‘Probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room’

By Kerry Picket on Jan. 14, 2010 into Water Cooler

How can a Massachusetts Senate candidate possibly offend  39 percent of voters in her state? If it’s Democrat Attorney General Martha Coakley, she would tell devout Catholics not to bother working in an emergency room (H/T Jim Hoft – Big Government). In the audio clip below, Ms. Coakley chokes on a question from radio host Ken Pittman referring to the conscience clause. Under the  conscience clause, workers in health-care environments ranging from doctors to maintenance men can refuse to offer services, information, or advice to patients on issues like contraception, blood transfusions, etc..if the workers are morally against it. Here is how Ms. Coakley handled the matter. (audio and transcript below):

Ken Pittman: Right, if you are a Catholic, and believe what the Pope teaches that any form of birth control is a sin. ah you don’t want to do that.

Martha Coakley: No we have a separation of church and state Ken, lets be clear.

Ken Pittman: In the emergency room you still have your religious freedom.

Martha Coakley: (……uh, eh…um..) The law says that people are allowed to have that. You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room.

Update: Defeat Liberals and Obama-care, Support Scott Brown for MA Senate

Scott is gaining ground on his liberal opponent, but we can't give up now.  The slime throwing, character defamation, outright lying, ACORN ballot box stuffing, Black Panther voter intimidation, dead people voting, and every other play from the liberal play book is about to be used by the democrats in their desperate bid to hold onto their power.

How desperate are they?  The campaigner-in-chief, the commander-in-grief, Chairman Maobama, the undocumented president himself is going to Massachusetts this weekend.  I guess he will be returning to his roots as a thug street organizer whipping up or intimidating support for his communist candidates.

We must do EVERYTHING we can to break the left's tyrannical stranglehold on our government before they strangle America.

To the citizens of the great state of Massachusetts who are awakening from their 3 decade slumber, God bless you.  Stand strong.  When the Black Panthers, and the SEIU and ACORN thugs try to intimidate you and keep you from the polls, overwhelm them and push back.  They are trying to steal YOUR VOICE.
If you see ANY irregularities concerning this election, DOCUMENT IT WITH VIDEO AND PICTURES.  Don't let them steal this election from you.  I have a feeling that this election is more in Scott Brown's favor than the polls show, but with the lopsided liberal money and corruption advantage they are like cornered animals.  They are very dangerous.

Stand up, America!  Donate whatever you can to help the people of Massachusetts shirk the bonds of liberalism, and in turn send the message that the rest of America won't stand for this bum rush toward socialism, communism, and oppression.

The Hill newspaper has just broken the big news story that Barack Obama is heading to Massachusetts this weekend in a desperate attempt to save the Senate seat for the Democrats in this Tuesday's Special Election.
This comes as Democrats have just dumped MILLIONS of dollars more into the race.  Check out these 24-hour filings from the FEC from Planned Parenthood, the League of Conservation Voters, and big unions:

The very same rich, limousine liberals who complain that "rich" conservatives are funding this "right wing conspiracy" are themselves throwing MILLIONS of outside dollars into a local campaign. Mr. Brown has raised a fraction of what his liberal opponent has raised, and most has come from donations less than $100 each.

And that's not all.  This news report just out documents some of the millions of dollars that Democrats have dumped into the race this week to defeat Scott Brown.  It's astounding.
An email from Ted Kennedy's widow raised $600,000 for the Democrats.  MoveOn.org raised another $650,000+.  Harry Reid, Chris Dodd & Al Franken raised another $500,000.  Democrat committees dumped in excess of $1 million.
You can see it for yourself in the report here:

Limousine liberals struggling to keep their grasp on power.

We must keep up our momentum and fight back against this late push by the Left.
The final deadlines for us to purchase advertising for Scott Brown for Senate is the end of the day Monday.  This is it, there are no more tomorrow's - we must make our final push now!
You can make a contribution to our campaign effort for Scott Brown - HERE.

We must take action, for if we can pull out a victory, we stop the Democrats dead in their tracks in their effort to secretly ram through their socialistic healthcare plan.
That's because Scott Brown wholeheartedly opposes the Democrat's government-run healthcare plan and has made his opposition to it a central part of his campaign.
If Brown wins then he will be the deciding vote to kill the socialistic healthcare monstrosity in the Senate!
(WHEN he wins, don't let the tyrants in the senate delay is confirmation just so they can get their health care vote through!)
