Obama Shows His True Colors - Red

On the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of Poland, B. Hussein Obama once again abandons Poland and the Czech Republic to Soviet oppression by abandoning the plan to install and support anti-missile technology on the soils of both of our allies.

In this action, Sec. of Defense Robert Gates again shows himself as a purely unprincipled political hack. The thought that Russia would engage Iran in a manner to reduce Iran’s bellicose behavior is criminally false.

Obama is doing this to appease his Communist masters in the former Soviet Union. Such an action is completely consistent with a fifth column member, and Obama is now the Commander in Chief of the fifth column in the United States.

The presidency of this destructive useful idiot continues to show weakness in the face of Russian aggression:

-- Russia invaded Georgia with no meaningful American response.

-- Russia threatens nuclear war with Poland due to the inclusion of Poland in the new US missile defense shield.

-- Russia cuts off Ukraine's electricity as penalty for Ukrainian support of the US missile defense shield.

-- Russia practices nuclear war on the United States in a joint exercise with China as a part of the new "Shanghai Cooperation Organization."

-- Russia is designing and adding next generation ICBMs in violation of START.

-- Russia continues to provides extensive nuclear expertise and technology to enemies of the US, including Iran.

-- Russia is reestablishing a Warsaw Pact which features Iran as one of its members.

The presidency of B. Hussein Obama cannot end quickly enough. The very existence of the free world hinge on his anti-freedom agenda.

Update: "This is not good news for the Czech state, for Czech freedom and independence," said Mirek Topolanek, the former Czech Prime Minister. "It puts us in a position where we are not firmly anchored in terms of partnership, security and alliance, and that’s a certain threat."

Reminder: Both Poland and the Czech Republic have provided troops to work along side US troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Both of these countries are part of the coalition of the willing. Chilling relations with staunch allies is so foolish as to defy description.

This Guy is a Dick

I hope everyone got a chance to see Megyn Kelly of FoxNews rip Richard "Dick" Harpootlian over the Joe Wilson story on FoxNews this morning. Megyn, who is VERY pregnant (and therefore quite likely hormonal) chewed this hypocrite up and spit him out on her show this morning.

I'll try to add a link if I can find one.

United We Stand; Divided We Fall

Today is the eighth anniversary of the Islamic terrorist hijacking and homicide aircraft attacks on the people of the United States in New York, Washington DC, and Shanksville, PA. After these heinous terrorist attacks against unsuspecting, hard-working people, the United States of America united to launch a global war on Islamic terrorism.

For a time, this nation was united. Our national motto was “United We Stand”.

We all knew that would not last. Since the 1960s, American leftists have made sport of bringing down this nation, its achievements, its political institutions, its history, and its people. National unity in support of military action was going to be opposed, degraded, resisted, and demonized. Eventually, the followers of Alinsky succeeded in once again dividing the nation, sapping the national will, and perverting the national efforts to protect the United States from Islamic terrorism.

Currently, we have as president the Great National Divider. No longer do we have a global war on Islamic terrorism – we now have “overseas contingency operations.” We no longer interrogate the terrorists held (for the moment) at Guantanamo, we now have “high value interrogation group” prohibited from using any method more coercive than exposing these killers to rainbows and teddybears. As I recall people in the twin towers having to choose between dying in the inferno or jumping to their death, I am not so concerned about the 9/11 mastermind being waterboarded under the supervision of doctors, then fed a nice meal.

The Great National Divider, a true Saul Alinsky acolyte, spent last night calling his dictatorial socialist policies “market choice” and his opponents “liars” “obstructionists” and “reactionaries.” He has promoted policies I’ve detailed in this blog that will irreparably harm this nation.

On this anniversary of terror, the White House will not use a motto of “United We Stand.” Instead, they will say “United We Share”, as in, you do not pay enough taxes, and you have to fork over some more of your hard-earned pay to the government so they can do with it what they deem important.

There is an important second stanza to “United We Stand” that the Great National Divider forgets – “Divided We Fall”.

President B. Hussein Obama’s policies, if enacted into law, will tear this nation apart. I firmly believe that if Congress enacts both the health care nationalization bill and the Mandate, Cap, and Tax bill being pushed by the Great National Divider, the result will be an end to the United States of America as it is composed today.

There is no national consensus on federal action on either of these bills, but if August’s town hall meetings have proved anything, it is that the Statists in the United States do not feel the need to unite the nation to dictate to it.

The great irony of this day is that the Islamic terrorists that launched the attack on the United States eight years ago wanted to destroy the United States as we know it. Now, we have a Muslim-born president working hard to achieve their goals.

Divided We Fall. The governing party presently in Washington DC needs to keep this in mind.

Socialism's BIG Lie of the Day

"I have not said that I am a supporter of a single payer system." - Barak Hussein Obama, August 12, 2009

"I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program." - Barak Hussein Obama, June 30, 2003

"I don’t think we’re going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately." - Barak Hussein Obama, May 2007

The Price of Freedom

Thomas Jefferson opined that "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." This was uttered in a different place and time, before the advent of National Socialism, Communism, and the nanny state.

Today, I suggest that the price of freedom is self-reliance, for it is only with a national belief of self-reliance that a nation may keep its freedom from a dictatorial government.

The modern American Democrat has long known that their power is based upon expanding the class of people who are dependent on the government for their way of life. The larger the dependency class, the greater the power the Democrats will possess.

Controlling the nation's health care is the ultimate power grab. Not just because controlling health care means providing Democrat-appointed bureaucrats the power of life and death over everyone, but also because it creates a dependent class of all citizens who cannot afford to leave the country for appropriate medical treatment.

Furthermore, it will create a direct dependency class of those citizens who are directly employed by a nationalized health service. Currently, the third largest single employer in the world is the National Health Service in England, behind only the PRC Army and Indian Rail (the employment numbers for the entire UK would be higher, as you add the numbers servicing Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland). The English National Health Service has more than 1.2 Million employees, less than half of which are actual care-givers, and only 109,000 of which are English doctors.

Applying this ratio of NHS employees to the English working age population, it would be extrapolated that in the United States, a government run health care system would employ Eight Million Americans, over Four Million of which would be administrative employees. The Democrats know that there would be Eight Million citizens whose livelihood would be dependent upon the preservation of that nationalized health system, and Eight Million votes to preserve such a system once it was put into place.

I had the pleasure of speaking with several English doctors on holiday a couple of years ago. What we should understand is that NHS doctors are not college and medical school trained doctors at all, but identified during high school as having a competence for medical learning, and diverted to medical training in what Americans would call a trade school. At best, the standard NHS doctor would be a physician assistant in the United States. This mirrors my experience in the other government-provided health care service I have experienced first hand, the United States Army.

James Madison on Obamacare, Bailouts, and Car Giveaways

"[T]he government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like the state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government." --James Madison

So Now The Press Laments ...

I just saw a well-fed Betty Nguyen's CNN on-air lament that when she leaves poverty-stricken Communist Vietnam, she "never leaves feeling like [she's] done enough."

I'd say CNN's news-reporting ancestors have done quite enough to Vietnam, working the United States public into an anti-war frenzy and forcing us to abandon the hope for Vietnam's future to Ho Chi Minh and the brutal Communists.

For a member of the United States news media to lament that the Vietnamese under Communist rule are so poor is disgusting. Not one second of Nguyen's report delved into the question of WHY the Vietnamese are poor, WHY the Vietnamese are struggling under the Communist yolk, and WHAT role the US media played in their predicament.

Bleeding hearts to the end, all the press can see is their good intentions regarding its handling of the reporting on Vietnam. Now they want credit for their good intentions handing out a few pairs of shoes and some rice to villagers in a rice paddy. Disgusting, intellectually vacant hypocrites, the lot of them.
