The United States of America has now been attacked by terrorists twice in two months. Barry Soetero aka Barrack Obama has not only minimized these attacks, he has stuck his head in the sand. The latest attack was on Christmas Day by a guy who is now known as the “pants bomber“.

Janet Incompitano comes out to say “the system worked” Achmed Hotpants should’ve never been allowed in the Amsterdam airport let alone on the plane: he paid cash for a ONE-WAY ticket, he was on the ‘no-fly list’, his father had warned the US about his son’s religious zealousness…THEY BLEW IT! And the result is we’re really going to search gramma and everyone else EXCEPT the people we should be PROFILING!!!!!

Let’s say we all lived in a village on the Serengeti Plain. Everyday animals like giraffes, water buffalo, gazelles and lions would pass by the village. Unfortunately, a pair of rogue lions (it does happen) starts mauling villagers. Now, when the animals pass by each day which ones will you pay attention to? Would you say to yourself that maybe the giraffes will maul our villagers? Or would you be focusing your attention on the lions? If you focused your attention on the lions, would that mean that you hate ALL lions? Maybe. It’s really irrelevant, isn’t it? The point is to stop the rogue lions, which means extra scrutiny on all lions passing by. Does that make me an intolerable animal hater or a vigilant person looking out for the welfare of my people? You be the judge! We should be learning from Israeli security.

Lets get the facts straight. The first thing this administration did when they took office was disban the FBI anti-terrorist division, disrupted the CIA’s intelligence gathering mechanism, stopped using the word terrorist and the phrase “war on terror”. All this had to stop . God forbid we should insult someone who is trying to kill us!

What you got in Detroit was the end result of Obamas’ political correctness and there is more and bigger things brewing if this administration doesn’t wake up and quit trying to make nice with the worlds terrorists.

TSA has nothing to do with it. The idiot Obama put in charge couldn’t protect a dog from fleas. Janet Incompitano is the best tool any terrorist has. And by the way, Barry gives the terrorists the protection of our Constitution which means nothing to this administration, except they don’t abide by it unless it is to protect TERRORISTS.

The evidence against Obama is piling up and even the far left is beginning to notice.

They should begin to use full body scanners But I’m sure the male liberals, would object because it would prove once and for all that they have no balls.

It is this Americans Against America attitude among the Left. Need we go into PCness and the inability to profile?

We need to call things as they are. If it looks, acts, sounds like a duck ….

The lefties of the world immediately go into Bush bashing. NEWS FLASH: HE’S GONE!!! It doesn’t matter. What does matter is what this guy is doing. I could care less what Bush did, Clinton or Grover Cleveland for that matter. What I care about is how this bozo is running around the planet “playing” president and not being one.

Barry has been pulling a Ferris Bueller since he got into office. What he should do is turn the entire Middle East to glass! End of discussion. Profile ANYONE from the Middle East, Africa or an Arabic sounding name and STOP reading Miranda Rights and giving these pieces of excrement Constitutional Rights and a lawyer. It’s a very simple solution.

What Barry and da Boyz are doing is putting everything he has into “looking good” and not taking care of business. He was too busy ramming porkulus bills, healthcare and the auto industry bailouts down out throats than protecting the country. He’s beginning to make Jimmy Carter look like the best president we ever had. Now that’s sad.

Obama has shown an utter inability to focus, to set priorities and to consider long-term consequences to his actions. Lack of focus on priorities is fatal as a CEO; (but, maybe less so for a political leader?)

Obama clearly does not see his primary job as one of overseeing the security and well-being of America during his tenure as its chief executive. He’s not only unwilling to stand up for America , but he also regularly seems to go out of his way to apologize for her history. This makes it apparent that he believes his most important job is to change America into what he thinks it should have been had we not suffered the Founders flawed vision.

Obamas’ aims seem truly radical (if stealth); his methods pure Alinsky; and his success derivative of obfuscating the truth, creating crises, and rushing changes into law that no one can possibly absorb under artificial deadlines all aimed at limiting private property rights, changing the Constitution and forever altering our free market system.

For those who consider Obamas’ training and background irrelevant, they can now evaluate him as a Commander-in-Chief and CEO from what he’s done over his first year.

Among many other things, these evidences have come in the form of:

1. A $787B stimulus package (sold as preventing a crisis from becoming catastrophe)

2. The failure to focus on addressing the banking crisis as Job One

3. The migration of TARP funds to non-banking concerns, including the auto industry

4. Announcing tax increases in the middle of a recession

5. Failure to identify projects to fund job creation

6. Announcing that there would be no pork or earmarks in the stimulus package in order to get it passed without review when there were nearly 10,000 buried in the unread bill (including a $9B high-speed rail line to Las Vegas for Harry Reid ) Watch the video:

7. Bailouts of the banking and auto industries

8. The appointment of a 31-year-old to manage the revitalization on of the auto companies

9. The exalting of union claims above those of bondholders (violating a 200+ year history of contract law/property rights)

10. The appointment of 38 unvetted czars – creating more than in the House of Romanov between 1762 and 1917!

11. The failure to appoint a Cabinet of tax-paying, competent Americans (Reason for the move to the Czar system of administration?)

12. The appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court despite some questions about her lack of qualifications and judicial temperament.

13. The dark-of-night passage of Cap and Trade legislation (300-page-long addendum inserted at 3 am the morning of the vote in the House)

14. The high pressure tactics to rush through a budget-busting $1.6 Trillion takeover of our National Healthcare System.

15. Phony town hall meetings with a fake cross-section of Americans selling Obamacare on ABC.

16. Lying about budget deficits projecting 4% GDP growth by year-end.

17. Lying about job losses projecting that if Congress would just ram through the stimulus that job losses could be halted at 8% (currently unemployment is at 10%. That does not include the 7-8% of people who are either self employed and out of work or who have stopped collecting unemployemnt. So the real unemployment rate is in the neighborhood of 17%).

18. Lying about the costs of nationalized healthcare – (just as when politicians projected Medicare’s cost in 1990 to be $3 billion, its actual cost turned out in 1990 to $98 billion, 30 times as much)

19. Pretending that new entitlement programs will provide lower costs, better care, no significant tax increases, more competition (as government joins the fray!) and keeping current private options. Claiming free healthcare will make America more competitive is baffling. Everyone knows the above are lies; but no one seems ready to call him out.

20. Forcing the stimulus package on states to impinge on States Rights.

21. Failing to support the freedom-loving citizens in Honduras and Iran (and instead, giving comfort to their dictators) to say nothing of his ineffectiveness with North Korea and his anti-Israeli pronouncements.

22. Allocating $4 Billion of stimulus funds to ACORN, the the people who brought you voter fraud.

23. Seeking to push through Union Card Check, the so-called Fairness Doctrine, and threats to take away 2nd Amendment rights.

24. Moving the heretofore non-partisan 2010 National Census into the White house under the direction of Rahm Emanuel.

25. Lying about having a transparent government. From the whitehouse website: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/TransparencyandOpenGovernment/

“My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government”

They have done everything in their power not to be transparent. He’s as transparent as his brown shirt.

26. Deciding to try terrorists in New York City. It will cost NYC a minimum of 75 million dollars just for added security. Not to mention the ridiculous circus this will create.

Whatever one thinks of the results, the process of getting to them should bother all Americans. In the Obama (Mayor Daley) style of governing, its not clear that Congress, who can’t possibly process thoughtfully the blizzard of legislation, really serves any useful purpose other than to provide Politburo-style cover. Not only does Congress no longer debate legislation, but Obama has effectively circumvented its oversight of the executive branch by his appointment of czars.

Obama has confused leadership with salesmanship. Leaders aren’t salesmen because leaders aren’t sellers: they’re buyers. They buy into shared interests instead of selling out to conflicting interests. In a way, that was the point of Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman: Willy Loman ended up broke, alone, and defeated because he couldn’t lead anyone, anywhere, to anything — because he was too busy selling. Instead of buying in, Willy was selling out. Sound familiar? It should: striking deals that are riddled with pervasive conflicts of interest has become a hallmark of the Obama Presidency.

Overall, 47% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. Fifty-two percent (52%) disapprove. What does that tell you?

This guy isn’t even voting “present”.

Attorney General Eric Holder announced Friday that five Guantanamo Bay detainees with alleged ties to the 9/11 conspiracy, including accused mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be transferred to New York to go on trial in civilian court.

So now we have a corrupt, plastic neophyte of a president, a secretary of Homeland Security employed because she “can see Mexico from her house,” a Treasury Secretary who is guilty of tax fraud, and an anti-Gitmo Attorney General who worked for a firm who will directly benefit from the closing of Gitmo, which is a blatant conflict of interest.

The prestigious D.C. law firm where Attorney General Eric Holder is a senior partner, Covington & Burling, just happens to represent 17 detainees at Guantanamo Bay.

From the firm’s web site:

Guantanamo Bay Detainees

* We represent sixteen men detained at the United States Naval Station at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Most of the men have been detained for approximately seven years. None have been charged with any crimes, and none have been accorded the protections of the Geneva Convention. In Boumediene v. Bush, 128 S. Ct. 2229 (2008), where we were co-counsel for eleven of the detainees, the Supreme Court held that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus extends to detainees held at Guantánamo Bay. Following that decision, we have been preparing for habeas corpus hearings to be held in federal district court Washington, DC, for eleven of our clients.

* The firm has been involved in the Guantánamo related litigation for the last five years. In addition to the on-going habeas corpus proceedings, our efforts have included: bringing cases for review of enemy combatant classification decisions in the D.C. Circuit under the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005; challenging the destruction of CIA torture tapes in federal court; filing amicus briefs and coordinating the amicus effort in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, 548 U.S. 557 (2006); filing amicus briefs in support of Supreme Court review in Moussaoui v. United States, 382 F.3d 483 (4th Cir.), cert denied, 544 U.S. 931 (2005); challenging the government’s practice of redacting information from documents given to security-cleared habeas counsel; and challenging the abusive medical and living conditions that the detainees experience at Guantánamo.

Just the latest disturbing development regarding a guy who lobbied for pardoning convicted FALN terrorists against the judgment of the FBI and U.S. attorneys.

No wonder he is not in favor of Military Tribunals. During his Senate hearing Holder was steadfast in his decision, saying he was confident his choice of venue was legally sound and would produce a conviction. He denied that his Justice Department was going soft on terror and cited a number of arrests in cities nationwide.

Holder’s main refrain, however, was that the decision to hold the trial in civilian court rather than a military commission was not political and was instead based on where he thought his best chance for conviction was.

Holder should recuse himself from any participation in any case involving detainees.

Lou Dobbs resigned from CNN this week. Here in his own words he explains as to why:

Well Chicago’s Mayor Daley has marginalized himself once again with his verbal bilge that the Fort Hood massacre was caused by Americans’ love of guns. No Mayor Daley you have it backwards, the Fort Hood massacre was caused by Islamic extremist’s love of guns!

THE FORT HOOD MASSACRE: MUSLIMS IN THE US ARMY or HOW POLITICAL CORRECTNESS KILLS

When the news first broke about the Fort Hood massacre, it is pure denial not to admit that deep down even before the name of the suspect was released, most Americans expected the inevitable revelation that the shooter was a Muslim. Sorry to call out the elephant in the room, but there have been enough incidents of violence against our military by the enemy within not to say it.

It is not difficult to understand the shooter Nidal Malik Hasan’s inner torture over his impending deployment. But he is not emotionally unstable, he is not crazy, and to say he is, is a copout in the name of political correctness. Hasan is not merely Muslim, he is a Muslim extremist who was about to be deployed to a region where he would be called upon to fight Muslims. For Hasan there was no conflict, his Muslim extremist id won out. Faced with the decision whether to kill Muslims or to kill Americans he made his decision. He would kill Americans.

It is easiest to blame Hasan but in the end he did what obedient Muslim extremists do, kill Americans. Hasan carried out the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil since September 11, 2001. Understand this clearly and make no mistake. It was a terrorist attack by a Muslim extremist doing what Muslim extremists are sworn by their faith to do, right down to the shouts of Allahu Akbar as he carried out his murderous act. The fact that Hasan may have acted alone also makes no difference, it was a terrorist attack which will no doubt soon be followed by the obligatory audio tape from Bin Laden or Zawahiri praising their brave jihadist brother Hasan. Fittingly this also gives us an excellent opportunity to honor our own brave soldier, Fort Hood Police Sgt. Kimberly Munley. For Muslim extremism who consider women a sub class, who customarily kill or maim women in the name of honor, it is sweet irony indeed that Hasan was taken out by Sgt. Munley, a woman who is far braver than he is and did her job better than he did. Nothing could hurt a Muslim extremist worse.

But while Hasan was the instrument of this terrorist attack, it is the orchestra pit of political correctness which allowed him to take the stage. As we have learned, Hasan demonstrated more than enough Muslim extremist behavior with his rants and internet postings which were known to the military for some time. Why then didn’t the military act sooner to stop him? Perhaps they tried. Recent history is replete with examples of our military leaders in the field who face our enemy every day, beating their heads against the political wall, handcuffed literally to death by our controlling liberal politicians, politically correcting innocent Americans into the grave. Since the Army was aware of Hasan’s Muslim extremist bent, it is difficult to believe they did not seek to take steps against him, and very easy to believe they received marching orders from on high to let him be.

While it is unthinkable to give in to over-the-top panicked methods like the herding of Japanese Americans into internment camps in 1942, it is not unthinkable, and looks more and more like simple common sense to intensify the vetting of those wishing to join our military. Terrorist attacks like Hasan’s at Fort Hood prove that the time has arrived to protect American troops by denying Muslim extremists the opportunity to become embedded in our military. Hasan was an easy spot considering his openly declared extremist behavior. One of Hasan’s classmates quoted him as saying “I’m a Muslim first and an American second. And Hasan’s closest friend whom he was mentoring in the ways of Islam said that Hasan told him not to join the army. He quoted Hasan as saying “Muslims shouldn’t be in the U.S. military because obviously Muslims shouldn’t kill Muslims.” Agreed. Hasan is correct, the time has come for the difficult decision that everyone knows must be made. Let us spare future Hasans the angst of the prospect of battling other Muslims. Hasan backed up his extremist words with actions, and showed us it is too deadly a risk when that conflict burns too deeply, pushing those who may begin as peaceful Muslim members in the American military into become our enemy within.

To understand, approach this from the other side with a little quiz:

A gentleman named Moshe Goldberg attempts to enlist in the Iranian army:
a. Moshe is welcomed in
b. Moshe is told “No Thanks”
c. Moshe is shot in the head as a spy and infiltrator right there in line

We all know the answer. RIP Moshe!

Our enemies would never take the chance of being infiltrated and neither should we. Of course in America we would never lower ourselves to the level of the lunatic regimes by choosing solution “C”. But is solution “B,” simply telling them “No Thanks” really so bad?

It is time for America to take Hasan up on his recommendation that Muslims should not serve in the U.S. military. As he showed us, political correctness kills. This is harsh. It is not nice and by no means sensitive. But the time for nice and sensitive is past. Political correctness is the handcuffs which cost American lives, and it is far better to apologize later, than to lose American lives now. For President Obama who has already made a full time occupation of apologizing for America protecting Americans, it is right up his alley anyway. Let’s make it worth his while.

This came to me from the UK. The ease with which it was edited to fit the US speaks volumes about the state of the world we all live in.

VERSION AS ENVISIONED BY THE FOUNDING FATHERS:

The squirrel works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building and improving his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the squirrel is warm and well fed.

The shivering grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

THE END

THE 2009 USA VERSION:

The squirrel works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the squirrel is warm and well fed.

A social worker finds the shivering grasshopper, calls a press conference and demands to know why the squirrel should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others less fortunate, like the grasshopper, are cold and starving.

CNN, MSNBC and ABC news show up to provide live coverage of the shivering grasshopper; with cuts to a video of the squirrel in his comfortable warm home with a table laden with food.

The mainstream media inform people that they should be ashamed that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so, while others have plenty.

The ACLU, Greenpeace, Animal Rights and The Grasshopper Council of USA demonstrate in front of the squirrel’s house.

CNN, MSNBC and ABC news, interrupting a cultural festival special from San Fransisco with breaking news, broadcasts a multi cultural choir singing “We Shall Overcome”.

Nancy Pelosi rants in an interview with The Huffington Post that the squirrel got rich off the backs of grasshoppers, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the squirrel to make him pay his “fair share” and increases the charge for squirrels to enter New York City.

In response to pressure from the media, the Government drafts the Economic Equity and Grasshopper Anti Discrimination Act, retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The squirrel’s taxes are reassessed.

He is taken to court and fined for failing to hire grasshoppers as builders for the work he was doing on his home and an additional fine for contempt when he told the court the grasshopper did not want to work.

The grasshopper is provided with a public housing, financial aid to furnish it and an account with a local taxi firm to ensure he can be socially mobile. The squirrel’s food is seized and re distributed to the more needy members of society, in this case the grasshopper.

Without enough money to buy more food, to pay the fine and his newly imposed retroactive taxes, the squirrel has to downsize and start building a new home.

The city takes over his old home and utilises it as a temporary home for asylum seeking cats who had hijacked a plane to get to the USA as they had to share their country of origin with mice. On arrival they tried to blow up the airport because of the US’s apparent love of dogs.

The cats had been arrested for the international offence of hijacking and attempted bombing but were immediately released because the police fed them pilchards instead of salmon whilst in custody.

Initial moves to then return them to their own country were abandoned because it was feared they would face death by the mice. The cats devise and start a scam to obtain money from people’s credit cards.

A CNN special shows the grasshopper finishing up the last of the squirrel’s food, though spring is still months away, while the council house he is in, crumbles around him because he hasn’t bothered to maintain the house.

He is shown to be taking drugs. Inadequate government funding is blamed for the grasshopper’s drug ‘illness’.

The cats seek recompense in the supreme court for their treatment since arrival in USA.

The grasshopper gets arrested for stabbing an old dog during a burglary to get money for his drugs habit. He is imprisoned but released immediately because he has been in custody for a few weeks.

He is placed in the care of the probation service to monitor and supervise him. Within a few weeks he has killed a guinea pig in a botched robbery.

A commission of enquiry, that will eventually cost $100,000,000 and state the obvious, is set up.

Additional money is put into funding a drug rehabilitation scheme for grasshoppers and legal aid for lawyers representing asylum seekers is increased.

The asylum-seeking cats are praised by the government for enriching the USA’s multicultural diversity and dogs are criticised by the government for failing to befriend the cats.

The grasshopper dies of a drug overdose. The usual sections of the press blame it on the obvious failure of government to address the root causes of despair arising from social inequity and his traumatic experience of prison.

They call for the resignation of a senator.

The cats are paid a million pounds each because their rights were infringed when the government failed to inform them there were mice in the United States.

The squirrel, the dogs and the victims of the hijacking, the bombing, the burglaries and robberies have to pay an additional percentage on their credit cards to cover losses, their taxes are increased to pay for law and order and they are told that they will have to work beyond 65 because of a shortfall in government funds.

THE END

Stripping the good sheriff Joe Arpaio of his ICE authority makes perfectly good sense.

The way the health care bill was written, illegal aliens were not specifically “excluded”, therefore, under federal law and several court decisions, they are automatically included. When Obama stated that the health care bill did not even mention illegal aliens, he stated the absolute truth. It did not mention them in way, shape or form.

If your plan is to convert 90% of a group into Democrats, what better way is there then to give them health care, then give them amnesty, and then argue in a liberal court that they deserve to have a vote, even if they are not citizens, because the system is disenfranchising them.

If you recall, ACORN and some other groups in San Francisco were signing up non-citizens on voter registration drives, and when the Republicans asked that voters have to show identification, there was hell to pay because they were being racist and trying to suppress the vote.

Personally, I am waiting for some liberal federal judge to decide that illegals have MORE right to vote than I do because as a white male of European descent, I am assumed to be racist, and therefore, unworthy to vote. My vote should be reduced to a half vote. In this way, the illegals can take over and justice can be served. They can also increase my taxes to pay for the slavery reparations.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW, OR DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!?!?

The United States Supreme Court has begun hearing a case on whether a memorial cross honoring First World War soldiers violates the American constitution.

Mojave Cross in Mojave National Preserve, California

The cross – in California – has been covered up in recent years following federal court rulings that it amounts to government endorsement of religion which is prohibited by the constitution.

Some campaigners want the memorial removed because they say it favours Christianity over other religions.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars put the cross on public land more than 70 years ago in the Mojave National Preserve as a memorial to fallen World War One service members.

The cross was covered in recent years after a federal court ruled it violates the Constitution’s First Amendment, which prohibits government endorsement of religion.

Congress previously intervened in the case by designating the cross as a national memorial. Lawmakers also passed legislation to transfer the desert land where the cross is located to private ownership in an attempt to resolve the issue — but a court objected to that move.

The VFW and other veterans groups contend that if the Supreme Court rules against the cross, bulldozers across the country will soon be annihilating other war memorials, such as Arlington National Cemetery’s Argonne Cross Memorial and Canadian Cross of Sacrifice, as well as crosses on headstones and elsewhere.

If the ACLU is correct — if the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is correct — then the crosses that stand on Arlington Cemetery … must be torn down as well. And that is an extreme and radical view, and it is not consistent with the Constitution of the United States.

Where does it stop?

If the ACLU wins this one, they’re going to go after all these monuments including Arlington and Gettysburg. The ACLU has declared ‘War on America’.

Religious symbols like the cross were part of normal life for America’s Founding Fathers, who believed that morality should be nurtured by government.

The founders believed that without a moral citizenry, they would not be able to sustain a self-governing republic. The notion that you could get a moral citizenry without reliance on religion was preposterous.

These may be next if the ACLU gets its’ way:

The Episcopal-run, but nondenominational, Church of the Transfiguration in the Grand Tetons provides solace for travelers.

The Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the City and Diocese of Washington, known as the Washington National Cathedral, is an Episcopal cathedral in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. It is a listed monument on the National Register of Historic Places and the designated “National House of Prayer” of the United States.

In 2007, it was voted one of the three most beautiful buildings in the United States in a survey by the American Institute of Architects.

The cathedral was built by the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation under a charter granted by Congress on January 6, 1893. Construction began in 1907, when the foundation stone was laid in the presence of President Theodore Roosevelt, and lasted for 83 years; the last finial was placed in the presence of President George H. W. Bush in 1990. The Foundation operates and funds the cathedral, which does not receive any federal or local government funding.

When will it end?
