A Pint Sized President

The White House minions have informed the world that Mr. Obama needs forty minutes of prime time to explain his Afghanistan strategy. That sounds about right for someone who spent an unprecedented ninety days waffling on whether or not to support the troops.

The guy doesn't get it. He was elected President of the United States a year ago, and he still hasn't read the job description. Obama is still wearing his community organizer tee-shirt.

He probably spent the last three months agonizing over whether to read the Islamic jihadist terrorists their Miranda Rights at the beginning or at the end of his speech. And who will be surprised if he mentions a White House website which will list the contact information for ACLU attorneys?

The reality is that the rubber hit the road and Obama doesn't have a drivers license. This may explain why he was so enthusiastic about the federal government buying 60% of General Motors. The good fellow was preemptively propping up his friends in the UAW before the unprecedented fiscal disaster his term in office would surely create.

That does make sense. And there's an equally strong possibility that congress passed the Cash for Clunkers legislation as a stop gap until Pelosi and Reid could figure out a way to force Americans to buy vehicles they don't want, from a company they didn't want to buy, at a time they couldn't afford to buy anything.

The smart money is betting on the threat of fines and jail time, you know, like the provision in Senate's healthcare bill for the healthy young scofflaws who neglect to buy health insurance. As his presidential limitations unfold, the need for the Democrat Party to authorize all healthcare decisions be immediately made by the federal government makes more sense.

With their penchant for crushing private enterprise, Obama's sickle and hammer marketing team more than likely concluded that government rationing is easier to sell in 2009, than trying to win an election in 2012, by which time the 2000 pages of legislation will be exposed as fiscal witchcraft.

It works for the believers. Too bad for the liberals that the majority of rational Americans finally see that this pint sized president is driving down the wrong side of the road. They ignored the leftward careening until they realized Pelosi and Reid were printing money to raise the driver seat so Obama could see over the dashboard.

He just hit another milepost. Literally! It seems that his friends in the field of science, those predicting that Global Warming was seconds away from destroying planet earth, are cooking the books. Who would have guessed that the liberals were cherry picking concocted, supportive data and deleting the truth? Answer: The majority of American voters.

Americans know it's the same gang of weasels that feign indignation when the electorate rejects higher taxes as the best and only solution for solving the fiscal crisis. It's the same old faces in the Senate and the House who support amnesty for illegal aliens, despise the secret ballot, pretend Medicare is efficient, hate cheap energy and hide from the voters.

Of course, these liberal Democrats prefer to be called Progressives. That's slang for America haters.

An Obama Thanksgiving

Lest we forget, today is Thanksgiving in ObamaLand. It's a day when Americans count their blessings. Of course, in a nation withering under the weight of government avarice, corruption and tyranny, this year's blessings are in short supply for too many Middle Americans.

The unemployed and under-employed probably aren't in a celebratory mood. Most have their fingers crossed, hoping the family car will hang together and their children will stay healthy.

Many of the fifteen million people in this boat are skimming on the fringe of eviction or having their homes repossessed. They are driving without insurance and haven't slept through the night in months.

Thanksgiving Day has a special meaning for them. The unrelenting collection calls will cease for twenty-four hours. But that's a blessing no one wants to experience.

The last thing Americans want to see is disappointment on the faces of their children. And Christmas is just ahead. Countless parents are quietly asking themselves how they can shield their kids from the despair they feel? This crossroad, where guilt and the feeling of inadequacy intersect, is a punishing place.

How many heads of family, not living these horrors, are looking over their shoulder, fearful of tomorrow? Probably the owners of too many small businesses if they have managed to keep their doors open by gutting their staffs, inventory and service. Most have no time to take a deep breath, and are putting in relentless hours, just hoping to survive.

Employment Security checks may pay a few bills for a few weeks, but at an awful price. They are a weekly reminder that nothing has improved. They undermine a job seeker's confidence and mock his or her efforts to regain some semblance of dignity.

They offer no long term solution; they merely substitute this congress' commiseration for the opportunities it squandered placating the ranks of the never-do-well parasites. The Stimulus Package was $787 billion of frosting on pet welfare projects.

It's the freeloaders' contentment with the status quo that anchors the recession in place. Obama spent all the US' reserves on their care and feeding. That makes as much fiscal sense as leaving the ammunition with the camp followers to lighten the load of the foot soldiers marching into battle.

The folks in ObamaLand announced that a job summit will convene on December 3. Jobs won't be mentioned. They will focus on taxes, confiscating private wealth and re-distributing it to states whose uncontrolled spending have sent their residents packing.

ObamaLand has a lot in common with Disney World. Enjoying either requires a suspension of reality. That's why the sickle and hammer crowd is attacking Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck with such ferocity. They not only fear the message, they fear it will resonate from shore to shore.

So this Thanksgiving Day let's hope the unemployed can take a little solace in the fact that millions of Americans see the truth, have identified the enemy and the cause of their hardships.

So hang tough guys while Middle America storms the Kool-Aid stands.

Remember the Alamo

The US flag should have been lowered to half-mast after the Senate health care vote on Saturday. Sixty senators agreed to debate the best way to obliterate the power of the Constitution, capitalism and Christianity.

It was not a day for anger; it was a day of sadness.

It was a requiem for the ideals and fortitude of generations of Americans who defended the world's right not to live in fear of government tyranny. Sixty people voted to snuff freedom's brightest beacon on earth.

Their act is beyond party labels and political squabbling. It defines the loss of America's pride in itself. The heroic tales of the generations of individual Americans who forged a nation with simple tools, perseverance and ideals were shunted aside; dismissed by sixty people anxious to extinguish freedom's breathe.

What happened to the courage of a nation founded on the principle that every individual had the right to pursue a life of liberty, the right to dream, the right to excel? What happened to a nation born of men willing to raise the colors on a battlefield? What happened to the spirit of America that propelled it to greatness?

Sixty people proclaimed its death.

Their names should be engraved in granite and anchored to Lady Liberty on Ellis Island. The monument's existence will remind the world that no people are safe, no shores impregnable, and no ideals immutable if the citizens entrust their rights to elected representatives who sneer at their oath to defend the Constitution.

It was a day of infamy.

Sixty elected representatives attacked the nation. They have no honor. They abandoned all pretense of Constitutional justification. Their sneak attack depended on secrecy, lies, distortions and the American people's natural generosity and trust of government.

And those who sold their votes for thirty pieces of silver should rot in hell for betraying every person on earth to whom America gave hope.

The sixty elected representatives' goal of universal economic slavery is built on the support of an ignorant constituency they groomed to run from challenges. They legislated multi-culturalism, diversity and political correctness to sap the vitality of American enterprise.

They justify the acceptance of defeat and retreat by labeling America's successful as aggressors and America's losers as victims. These cowards live in fear of the truth. That's why they ravage those who espouse common sense, those who shed a tear when they witness the deliberate annihilation of the prosperity of future generations of Americans.

Sixty senators put America on a death watch.

Their handmaidens in this treason, the media, celebrate the demise of the innate personal pride that is born of endeavor, the reward of accomplishment and their readiness to accept the artificial boundaries that decay the spirit of exploration.

I exhort every American to "Remember the Alamo" when they vote in 2010.

An American Nightmare

The sickle and hammer crowd is on the warpath. They want abortions, undefended borders, universal amnesty for illegal aliens, energy usage taxes, higher income taxes, another stimulus package and the ransacking of private medical insurance companies to support Obama Care.

These devout socialists haven't given a thought to the impact on the American economy. They don't see it as their problem as the ranks of their constituency are filled with freeloaders. They are beyond hope, beyond redemption, and so far, beyond the reach of the tax payers.

Because unemployment continues to grow without abatement these clowns finally scheduled a job summit. Of course, it won't convene until Mr. Obama returns from his eleven day Asian jaunt. He spends more time preening for the cameras and riding Air Force One than listening to the American people who pay the bills.

Obama is hooked. He can't pass an opportunity to use a teleprompter and act presidential. Does anyone believe that the leaders of China, Japan and India think he is anything other than a narcissistic twit?

All they have to do is tell him how pretty he is and he will follow them anywhere. It's one step below shouting "Here kitty, kitty, kitty. I've got some milk for you." At least cats get something for showing up.

There is no sense pretending the economy will improve with Obama at the helm. It has taken him ten months of dithering to admit unemployment is a big problem. Most Americans reached that conclusion before President Bush headed to Texas.

Obama should have been aware. After all, he read the words on his teleprompter. In fairness, Pelosi, Schumer, Reid and Barney Frank probably told him that spending $787 billion on welfare would solve the problem. Of course, their charming, little toady never questioned the wisdom or motives of his fellow Marxists.

This is the same twit-on-steroids that has convened eight meetings to determine how the US should continue in Afghanistan. How many kids in uniform will die because he doesn't want to offend the radicals in the Democratic Party?

Obama was probably surprised to discover that no military medal exists to honor officers who put political correctness above the safety of their troops. Including the outcome of the 2008 presidential contest and the massacre at Fort Hood, political correctness has proved to be more dangerous to the American troops than the H1N1 flu.

But fear not. Obama has decided to grant Muslim terrorists the same judicial rights as American citizens and more rights than American soldiers in combat. One can only guess that he hopes to drag the CIA and President Bush's administration through the mud for three years prior to the 2012 elections.

That he is willing to give the terrorists a worldwide propaganda platform and a detailed account of American surveillance techniques for political gain pretty much describes his allegiance to the United States of America. To describe Obama as anything other than an American nightmare is not being truthful.

Obama Can't Fake It

The national polls show that Mr. Obama is still personally popular. His favorability numbers have shrunk since March, but not as rapidly as the approval of his political initiatives.

His agenda is tanking. It seems Americans prefer capitalism and freedom over socialism. The majority of citizens have pretty much determined that selling their children into government bondage is not the change they had in mind.

Here is the problem America faces. Obama is a media creation. The liberal press propelled this punk, political hack into movie star status. He is all image and a great actor. Obama's problem is that the productions his casting agents selected are all tanking at the box office.

As the President of the United States, Obama can get face time around the world. But there is a growing disconnect with the voters. He is blinded by his press clippings. It's a common malady in Hollywood. He doesn't comprehend that the cameras are there because of the status of the office he holds, not because the world is anxiously awaiting his pearls of wisdom.

Like many Hollywood actors, accustomed to adulation by their groupies, Obama is deceiving himself. He still believes the raves and reviews for his acting ability substantiates his audience's respect for his opinions and agenda.

Access to publicity doesn't equate with automatic acceptance of the message. Obama is skating on the propaganda, distortions and lies of Pelosi and Reid. And this is wearing out his welcome.

His constant appearances on television, selling the left wing's wares, started because of the Democratic hierarchy's recognition of his natural charm and personal likeability. His reliance on teleprompters to deliver their message substantiates his need for a script. His time spent on podiums, acting presidential, is now a tedious joke.

He is little more than a pretender. His prepared appearances are being dismissed by the voters and the US' allies as paid programming. The radical, socialist agenda he espouses is so transparent, his naivety so obvious and his immaturity so painful that he has become a caricature of a charming toady.

So now when he appears on television, the viewers routinely know that some agenda issue or policy of Pelosi or Reid is backfiring. No actor can sustain popularity if his or her movies keep doing belly flops. And no amount of hype by friendly reviewers can fill the theater seats once the word-of-mouth appraisals are uniformly negative.

This is not to infer that Obama doesn't have a good intellect. His problem stems from the fact that his ascendency relied on the artificial standards of political correctness, multi-culturalism and diversity. This handicap is magnified by the fact he has no experience in decision making. That's why he dithers.

The President of the United States can't fake it. The free ride ended the day he entered the Oval Office. Try as they do, ABC, CBS, NBC and the New York Times can't conceal an empty suit. Their efforts only succeeded in destroying their own credibility.

Making Michelle Proud

Michelle Obama's assertion that she had never been proud of her country continues to portray the White House agenda. Her haunting remark, made in the heat of the presidential campaign, was an unrehearsed, unscripted declaration which gave Americans an insight into the philosophy of the couple now engaged in deciding the nation's future.

The First Lady, like her husband, is a socialist, and therefore a person devoid of any feeling for the 15 million unemployed Americans. It's not her problem; it's her springboard to happiness.

Unemployment creates a vacuum and a sense of urgency which makes the public susceptible to government intervention and control. And this is what lights the Obamas' fires.

Americans are rightly worried about the economy. In real numbers about 16% of Americans need a job. To that number add the 33% of American workers who are under-employed. That's a euphemism for the bread earners with part time jobs that can't make ends meet. They are scrambling to survive.

Few Americans work in companies that haven't experienced layoffs, or cuts in benefits or a reduction in hours. Those with regular jobs have little faith in their long term security. They keep looking for pink slips. This is what keeps their guts tied in knots.

This pressure is elevated by a frightening statistic. The savings of the average American family will only sustain them for six weeks. Too many families are only 42 days away from financial ruin. And there is nothing brewing in congress that will change these conditions.

To the contrary, Obama's reckless spending has chilled the world. The growth of the Dow is propelled by investors hedging against the crushing inflation that will sap the value of US dollars sitting in banks. Corporations are investing off-shore and the price of gold is soaring.

This doesn't bother the Obamas. Their entire agenda is focused on enlarging the size and power of government. They use class warfare to separate successful American individuals and companies from their wealth. But don't kid yourself. They don't want a classless society.

They want a two tier system. In their vision, government leaders displace the capitalist elite. Michelle Obama personifies the haughty attitude of socialists who believe the government leaders are an entitled species.

She is callous to the bleak reality that working Americans face. There is no elasticity left in their budgets. Yet, she has seen fit to hire twenty-two people to tend exclusively to her needs. This is in addition to the White House staff. The previous First Lady had one helper.

The Obamas' efforts to insure the federal government's control of private enterprise and healthcare is exemplified by every initiative winding through congress. They, with the help of Pelosi and Reid, have spent $2 trillion to create government jobs and prop up the states which promote otherwise, unsustainable welfare programs.

Not one penny or piece of legislation was geared toward helping small business. That can't be called an omission or mistake.

When the government ignores the engine that creates jobs in the private sector, and then proposes legislation that confiscates their working capital, the government is targeting the destruction of private enterprise.

The parallels of the Obamas' agenda with the growth of Communism in the Soviet Union are chilling. The current occupants of the White House represent all that is wrong with America.

Truth Is Truth

Americans should be shocked and horrified by the brutal slaughter of its soldiers at Fort Hood by the hand of Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan. But should anyone be surprised that a Muslim committed such a heinous crime?

The answer is no. The United States has been repeatedly attacked by Muslims for decades, culminating in the attack of 9/11. President Bush finally admitted Muslim zealots had declared war on the United States and all of Western Civilization. It required the death of 3,000 Americans to persuade him to tell the truth.

Nidal Malik Hasan is not a recent immigrant. He was born, raised and educated in America. His decision to murder US soldiers isn't behavior condoned or justified in our public schools or medical institutions. And nowhere in the military code, or in US medical journals, or in the US Constitution is such behavior taught, tolerated or approved.

Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that the justification for Major Nidal Malik Hasan's rampage is attributable to his religious preference. There is little difference between this act and that of the Iraqi father who recently killed his daughter with his automobile because she was becoming too Americanized.

In light of these two recent atrocities, there is something unsettling about a religion that encourages its membership to use violence to counter a political threat or a challenge to its dogma.

Americans will again be cautioned not to condemn all Muslims because of the acts and pronouncements of their hierarchy here and abroad; despite the delight and support of tens of millions of their adherents for the Major's treason.

Those who warn us not to see the dotted line are the same do-gooders who condemn racial profiling by the police, and ignore the venomous anti-democratic, anti-Christian and anti-Jewish indoctrination spewed in the Saudi supported madrassa schools in America's neighborhoods.

The graduates from these schools are to democracy and Western Civilization what the KKK is to black achievement. These indoctrination centers are the perfect recruiting grounds for Muslim terrorists. All the graduates need is bomb making equipment and a ride to the target.

After a long investigation the military and civilian authorities will conclude that the Muslim Major was not part of a greater conspiracy. This will be followed by the portrait of a man who (in the vernacular) was off his rocker. The same can be said of every suicide bomber.

No government official will allude to the source of his fanaticism. Political correctness will preempt the truth and mock common sense. This is the real conspiracy.

These apologists are the same people who tell us that Iran is good at heart. That the nation is filled with wonderful people yearning to be free. But it only takes a handful of Major Hasans to detonate a nuclear bomb in Israel.

So here is the real question: Given the opportunity, would the US born, Muslim traitor, Major Nidal Malik Hasan have detonated a dirty bomb in the middle of Fort Hood?

You may want to mention your conclusion to Mr. Obama as he dithers over crushing our enemies.

It Was Anger

Well, the Republicans won the governorships in Virginia and New Jersey. So we're seeing and hearing a lot of chest thumping in conservative circles. Naturally the Democrats deny that the results augur any future national trends. This response is akin to whistling by the graveyard.

In truth, neither political party has much to brag about, and few accomplishments to hang their hats on. The exit polls confirmed that the voters are focused on the economy. This pinpoints unemployment, government spending, taxes, and the deficit as key issues.

The election results also corroborate that Obama's star power dips appreciably when he is not one of the competitors. Although the black vote remains the Democrat's rubber stamp, the election results confirm the obvious.

The black and Hispanic electorate aren't color blind, but they are blinded by color. Until they see themselves as Americans and revolt against the "Black American" or "Hispanic American" titles created by the leftwing, they will remain a political subset of mainstream America.

All the statistics collected in the exit and recent national polls are subject to spin. But there is one set of statistics that makes all the other collected data trivial by comparison. There is one continuous election in this country that pundits can't distort.

People are voting with their feet. Since Obama's inauguration, 1.5 million people walked out of New York. The same emigration pattern is prevalent in California, New Jersey, Michigan and Massachusetts. What do these states have in common? Stifling tax burdens that destroy commerce, employment and business opportunity.

The Obama Administration is well aware of the consequences of this drift. The tax base of the bluest states is fleeing; pushing these states toward insolvency. The administration is not responsible for the out-of-control entitlement spending of the local lawmakers. But as fans of income distribution, Obama and his sickle and hammer crew have encouraged the growth of welfare.

Pelosi, Reid and Obama's Stimulus Package mainlined money into these blue states to delay their collapse. It was a scheme to shield the failure of the socialist programs in place while they push socialized medicine.

The Stimulus saved the jobs of bureaucrats in blue states through income re-distribution. Any politician in a red state, who voted for the Stimulus Package, betrayed the trust of his or her electorate. And directly contributed to the decline and fall of the United States.

Representatives in red and blue states who vote for Obama Care and/or Cap and Trade are bartering away the nation's economic survival to placate Pelosi. This is expected of Democrats, but Republicans have no excuse. And be assured if they voted for the Stimulus Package they will betray their constituency again.

Be nervous. India announced that it is replacing the American dollar with gold reserves. They don't trust the United States' fiscal policy. Gold is the time tested hedge against inflation. They see Obama printing away the strength of America, chasing away foreign investment, pushing American jobs offshore and destroying the future of American children.

And China just seconded India's concern. Its government, worried about its heavy investment in American securities, announced that the public is free to buy silver. This is an effort to wean Chinese investors off US stock and bond investments.

Obama, Pelosi and Reid ignore these signals. They only see the opportunity to vanquish capitalism. Hopefully, the voters in Virginia and New Jersey made this trio's allies aware of the cost of joining in on this fiscal treason. Maybe, just maybe, a few Democrats saw the growing anger.

The Enemy Within

It's obvious that Pelosi, Reid, Mr. Obama and the radical left wingers, who fill every nook and cranny of the White House, have adopted a scorched earth policy. They have declared war on their enemy, America's productive members of society.

These Marxist weasels realize that their only chance of overthrowing a capitalist republic depends of their ability to raze the intrinsic freedom and personal opportunity that flourishes in a capitalist society.

To accomplish this objective they must lay claim to the investment capital of private investors. Class warfare is their anvil of choice; and taxation is the hammer they will use to crush the free market.

Job creation in the private sector is their greatest enemy, as it breeds independence and self-determination. The vast majority of jobs created or saved by the Stimulus Plan were teaching and government positions, despite the phony statistics they concocted to prove otherwise. And each created job cost the taxpayers $173,000.

This should surprise no one. It cost the taxpayers $24,000 for each $4500 Cash for Clunkers transaction. Only a government bureaucracy needs $19,500 to distribute $4,500. Using the same level of efficiency, it will cost the taxpayers $4 trillion to handout $1 trillion of government run healthcare.

Obama, Pelosi and Reid are waging an economic war. And it is a cold blooded war. But no government is self-contained.

When the benefit of hard work offers the identical reward granted to those who don't contribute to the system the government eventually starves to death. Ditto for those who live off the fruits the government distributes. And government jobs are only safe until the private sector disappears.

Granted, a mature socialist state can hobble along if freedom of the press, speech and the freedom to leave the country are suppressed. That's why socialist states become police states. Cuba, China and North Korea are shining examples. All scientific and medical progress stops after the transformation. The citizens are trapped in a time capsule.

Obama and his sickle and hammer cabal are attacking the enemies of socialism. They are using unsustainable deficit spending to place private enterprise under the federal thumb. Including classroom political indoctrination, they have incited a propaganda barrage against all who prefer capitalism over socialism. The Chamber of Commerce is now the enemy of the state.

In nine short months they have taken control of huge chunks of the banking and investment community and the auto industry. And they are working tirelessly to gain control over the US' energy resources, development, distribution and suppliers.

Right now they are engaged in an all out war to destroy private healthcare. Their lies, deceit and subterfuge to achieve this objective are staggering. Their proposed legislation is a blatant and unabashed power grab, and an all out attack on the Constitution, Capitalism and Christianity.

And they have an ace in the hole. The national deficit works to their advantage. The United States is teetering on bankruptcy. These weasels will proclaim that only massive increases in taxation will keep the nation credit worthy, after their "$1 trillion" healthcare takeover is passed (read $5 trillion in taxpayer arithmetic).

If America accepts this prescription the nation will fail. Government spending at the federal, state and the local levels must be slashed, and taxes on income and capital gains must be reduced. That's America's free and independent peoples' only chance for survival.
