Obama To Grandstand In Copenhagen – More Bovine Flatulence.

The atmosphere in Copenhagen will certainly be rarefied when His Illustriousness Barack the First arrives to grace the lives of the members of the Copenhagen conference. Hoping to promise there what he has failed to accomplish here, thereby once again impressing all and sundry with his brilliance as he bows his way around the hall.

Cap and trade, one of His Magnificence’s signature issues, in fact a back-breaking taxation scheme against the American people, is all but DEAD ON ARRIVAL in the United States. Oddly enough, one of the final nails in the coffin of this dastardly plot may be the mice that are roaring down under. Five of Australia’s leading MP’s have resigned rather than support that country’s liberal bid to initiate Cap and Trade, which they refer to as an emissions trading scheme and all but guarantee its failure to pass. This will undoubtedly send ripples throughout the world as more and more people become aware of what an immense fraud the whole ‘global warming/climate change’ power grab is really all about.

Mr Obama, ever conscious of an opportunity to aggrandize himself in front of himself, will promise (with no binding agreement) to reduce our own emissions level by 17% by the year 2020…a figure by the way LESS than the EU, Japan and the UN. In other words, he is going over there to speak FOR the people of the United States without speaking TO the people of the United States, who have pretty much already rejected this nonsense. Ergo: he’s going over there to listen to himself.Things are not well in the land of global ripoffs. Those of us with a modicum of scientific background, though not laying claim to great credentials, have known for a long time that something just wasn’t right in Dodge. What they were claiming and the models they were using just didn’t add up. Of course any detractors were immediately attacked and marginalized…perhaps it should have brought to mind that the last and greatest refuge of scoundrels is name calling.

So in the meantime, we have false scientific ‘consensus’ ginning up global hysteria, using faulty models to prove preconceived results…SOME scientific method! For those of you who may not know, CONSENSUS is antithetical to good science, so the scientists who sold out to this farce are doubly damned. As the theater of this farce progressed, more and more reputable scientists began to speak out…more in fact than the kool-aid crew could marginalize.
The resultant ‘revolution’ among non-believing scientists resulted in 162 members of the American Physical Society writing a letter divorcing themselves from the concept of anthropomorphic global warming / climate change.

So now we have the supposedly ‘most’ prestigious (and most arrogant and non-inclusive) global climate change scientists, in both the UK and the United States, caught literally with their shorts down and their asses in the wind, lying through their eye teeth. Falsifying data and other science atrocities that would make a carny hustler proud. Their careers should end as they have marginalized and ended the careers of the detractors they put to ridicule.
I’m going to love to hear how they explain this one away in Copenhagen.

Security’s A Top Down Issue – Obama And Crew Inept Here As Well.

Round and round she goes and where it stops nobody knows…the BUCK that is.
The clown circus is in full bloom, but around the Obama White House that’s a 24/7, 365 given. If there’s anything we’ve learned this last year, it’s that Barry and crew operate like the proverbial nut cake in-laws…everybody knows they’re members of the family but nobody wants to admit it.

Now we have the SECURITY breach of the decade. Well, at least the most visible. Because no matter how two people managed to waltz into the Obama’s ultra-glitz state dinner, whether or not they had aid and comfort is a side show, because it’s only a symptom of a disease pervading the tapestry of the entire government. It didn’t start with the Anointed One but he has certainly taken it to new levels of absurdity.
From the utter stupidity of allowing foreign nationals access to our top secret laboratories at Oak Knoll, Sandia and Lawrence Livermore on supposed ‘cultural exchange’, to little or no supervision of these individuals resulted in the loss of top secret nuclear weapons technology. Billy Jeff and George Bush can be credited with these.

Obama has been instrumental at bringing enemy alien terrorists from the jurisdiction of the military tribunals, to which they had pleaded GUILTY, to the shores of this country so that they can spew their venom upon a world stage and be defended by Marxist ACLU attorneys. Make NO mistake, it’s OBAMA and not his stooge Eric Holder.

Our State Department has been so thoroughly penetrated by leftist operatives that it has long ago ceased to serve the best interests of the American people. No President in recent history has been able to make inroads towards cleaning it up. It has been referred to as “Foggy Bottom”, but could be more aptly called “Boggy Swamp”. It does explain many things about the failure of American foreign policy though.
Political Correctness. Another disease affecting the security of America. So insidious as to influence a sitting American President to allow a foreign power (Mexico) to insist on the IMPRISONMENT of Border Patrol agents for pursuing a convicted drug dealer caught in the act of smuggling drugs across our international border. The same political correctness that has perverted the sense of duty of a FOUR STAR general of the US ARMY to the point that when an ‘undiscovered’ Jihadi killed 13 fellow soldiers, his most cogent comment appeared to be that he hoped it didn’t effect the CULTURAL DIVERSITY of the US ARMED FORCES.

At the same time the PC bureaucrats in the FBI rushed to the microphones to state unequivocally that “this was not a terrorist related incident,” practically before the bodies had finished hitting the floor.
The same PC police that tried to hang the Marines at Haditha are now trying to besmirch the Navy SEALS and destroy three of their numbers careers because a known terrorist murderer came up with a fat lip. It’s sad to contemplate that the charges against these men are being pushed forward by people who are not fit to carry their shoe polish.

Barry Hussein’s world is populated by people who couldn’t pass a security clearance on a bet. SOMEONE is giving these Marxists a pass. Who?
Security, or the lack thereof, is a top down issue. Barry hasn’t shown that he can run anything, and in point of fact everything he’s touched has turned to the aft product of a flatulent bovine.
But then his Presidency is sort of looking like a horse’s ass so everybody should feel right at home.
Now it is left to the American people to clean up the mess and air the place out.
It can’t come soon enough for most of us.

Thanksgiving Is Our Country’s Blessing To The World.

In a year in which four out of five Americans are either unemployed or underemployed and our economy is beginning to reach levels approaching the ’stagflation’ of the Jimmy Carter years sans the staggering interest rates of that era, as yet anyway, Americans take time to give thanks for that which we have and that we have been blessed with by our creator.

Despite the strident protestations of the secular left this GREATEST country in the world remains just that. A FREE country rooted deeply in JUDEO/ CHRISTIAN values and the principles of liberty, individual responsibility, freedom to make of one’s life what we will, freedom to speak our minds without fear of retribution, the freedom to govern ourselves, and to defend our homes, our families and our country from evil and oppression.

I thank God for my blessings everyday. But on this day especially. I thank my God, as I understand him, for the tens of thousands of American men and women in the Armed Forces of this truly blessed land with whose sacrifices on our behalf on a daily basis I stand in awe.
As a United States Marine I spent a number of Thanksgivings and holidays away from home and a couple of them overseas in cultures very unlike my own. It’s a very lonely existence far from home, family and friends and in an unforgiving, hostile and sometimes dangerous environment.
We have simply the greatest military in history.

The world has a great deal to be grateful for on this day of Thanksgiving as well. It would be a far different place were it not for the thousands of Americans who have sacrificed their lives on every continent of this globe. Europe, Asia, the Pacific, Africa…all would be far different places without the expenditure of vast amounts of American blood and treasure. We are the most generous, freely-giving society in history. We are also the most open minded and forgiving.
Many of those who have benefited the most from our generosity have appreciated it least. But time after time we have turned the other cheek and continued to befriend our detractors.
This is the measure of the greatness of America.

God bless this great country and God bless you on this day of Thanksgiving.

Navy SEALs Face Haditha Style Frameup By Dept. Of The Navy PC Stooges.

Any one who has served, or is serving under, the colors of the United States of America and their families must be frothing at the mouth about this one right now. Although it fits right in with Obama’s gutless and faithless administration.

The Navy Seals are the creme de la creme of the special forces of this country, along with the less well known Marine Force Recon of which there are only a few platoons in the entire Marine Corps, some very bad dudes…ditto the Army’s Delta Force…so secret that families of these people don’t even know what they do for a living. The Air Force has its Special Operations Command. All of these people routinely perform missions all over the globe in the international war on terror that many of us would call impossible or suicidal.

Force Recon, for example, operated far behind enemy lines for extended periods back when I was in the Corps. These men don’t have the luxury of determining whether their actions meet someone’s idea of ‘rules of engagement’ and shouldn’t have to. NONE of our combat personnel should! We lost a SEAL team to such nonsense in Afghanistan when three goat herders chanced upon a SEAL operation. The men had to make the determination of whether or not to kill them. That indecision cost the lives of three of the SEAL team, eight additional SEALs and eight Army special forces troops. Marcus Luttrell was the only survivor and he writes in his book, “LONE SURVIVOR”, about the futility of having to second guess the reactions of PC bureaucrats both in and out of the military.

Anyone who has ever had to face that eternal nano-second of when or whether or not to squeeze that trigger knows just what I mean.
The POLITICAL CORRECTNESS BRIGADE in our government, and especially the one operating in our military, is a pernicious cancer eating away at the confidence and morale of our fighting men. It’s more akin to giving aid and comfort to the enemy than anything else I can equate to.

A Navy Seal team captured Ahmed Hasim Abed, one of the most thoroughly detestable individuals occupying space on this globe. Somehow or another Ahmed got a fat lip instead of the bullet that should have adjudicated his massacre of four Blackhawk security agents. The PC POLICE in the MILITARY, and at the ever dense and un-American State Department from whence many of these ridiculous operational restrictions originate, sent out the word to hang these heroes, or at least hang them out to dry to the ardent applause of our enemies world wide. These men refused to be humiliated at non-judicial punishment, having permanent blots placed on their records, and instead insisted on a hearing at a full Court Martial.
Shades of Haditha…the only thing missing here so far is the smarmy and detestable John Murtha.

ENOUGH!! We have to stop this monkey trial. These men should be having decorations hung on them instead of having to fight for their careers. We must stop this pathetic nonsense now!
Please take the time to write or email your Representatives and Senators now. Additionally, the addresses of the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Naval Operations are below. I’m sorry I don’t have an email for them. Perhaps one of you could supply it.

Secretary of the Navy
1000 Navy Pentagon
Washington, D.C. 20350-1000

Chief of Naval Operations
2000 Navy Pentagon
Washington, D.C. 20350-1000

Our Soldiers, Sailors and Marines are being asked to do an incredibly difficult job under far less than optimal conditions, under a leadership sadly lacking courage or integrity themselves. Please don’t let them get away with this immense injustice.

How Low Can You Go? – In More Ways Than One – Obama Bows Again.

The Empty Suit strikes again. This time he’s bowing and scraping to the Chinese Communist Premier. Fresh from kowtowing to the Japanese Emperor and well-rehearsed, Obama doubled over for Wen Jiabao, again acutely embarrassing himself, though I truly don’t believe he’s smart enough to realize what a horribly huge gaffe this actually is other than the obvious – that no head of state bows to another head of state.

Doesn’t this guy have any handlers with any savvy at all, or are they all complete toadies and afraid to confront His Almightiness? Asians, and most of the world in fact, see subservience as weakness. That’s exactly how Barry Hussein comes off, as weak, ineffectual and subservient.
His denial of American exceptionalism. Apologizing for America being the greatest country on Earth for fanciful and fancied affronts. His image of himself is hip, slick and cool. Most of the rest of us see him as self-aggrandizing, vapid and ineffectual. His ideological drive to subvert the government, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the will of the American people, engenders a word I won’t use here but it starts with ‘T’ and ends with ‘N’. His popularity is dropping like a runaway elevator. He has a Congress scrambling for political cover and a Senate which is about to be launched into a major battle in the closing weeks of this year, with little or no chance of passage of a monstrous attempted enslavement of the American people by January.

Next year will be pivotal. A mid-term election year in which no less than a full third of the Senate face re-election. Having to face an ever more aware and even more angry and irate populace. Many will be wondering whether walking the plank for Harry Reid, whose own re-election bid is in serious doubt, or for Nancy Pelosi, with a less than 21% popularity rating, or a President whose every word is beginning to be seen as something to joke about, will be worth the price. For a price there will be.

2010 is shaping up to be a political bloodbath not seen since the unlamented days of Jimmy Carter, or the 1994 Contract for America introduced by Newt Gingrich only four weeks before the election.
This one is stacking up to be every bit as punishing for the DeMarxists. With the country staggering under unprecedented debt, a flat-lined economy which not even government book-cooking can make look good, and unemployment not seen since the 1930’s. And the only answer Obama’s goofballs have is massive taxation to ’somehow’ create jobs?

The electorate in this country is livid. They are boiling mad. But even worse for DeMarxists, they have become educated on the issues. They see through the hope and change and see changes they do not want and will not tolerate. The Democrats see the resurgence of a revitalized CONSERVATIVE Republican party and this frightens them as well. Because they well know that Conservative ideals and ideas work every time they are tried.

DeMarxists’ Worst Nightmare A Reality – Sarah Palin Can’t Be Destroyed.

They’ve done their best. They’re still trying…and they’ll keep at it for all the good it will do them. They haven’t fooled you, the American people. I’ve spoken about “the language of truth” at some length. I’ve said that truth has a ring to it that the human soul recognizes and responds to. It has life and an energy all its own.

That’s why things like the FRAUD packed health care bill, now awaiting debate in the Senate, and the Senators that support it engender so much anger from the American people. We know they’ve shut down their Senate offices phones because they don’t want to face us. This week they return home to their districts. We will find them there. If they shut down those phones we will smother them with our emails, letters and visits to those district offices. WE know the truth! They do not want to face our truths or face us, but face us they will. These people who would command our lives, our very fortunes and the futures of our children. JUST who the HELL do they think they are? We threw the Brits the hell out of here for a lot less than they are trying to pull. Landrieu, Bayh, Nelson and Lincoln all deserve special contempt but there are many more.

We have a narcissistic budding megalomaniac, who also has some serious issues with the truth, sitting in the White House. The American people have sensed this through all his high-flown rhetoric and his promises of utopian nirvana on Earth. Even the skeptical in the beginning were willing to ‘give the guy a break’. After all, look how bad George Bush and the Republicans screwed things up…ouch. Another truth. As the fallacies of his promises came to the fore, people started really listening to what he was saying and found that the truth wasn’t in him. So what does all this have to do with Sarah Palin?

I was at first astounded at the vehemence of the attacks mounted against her. The lengths to which not only the extreme left was going to discredit and marginalize her, but many supposed conservatives as well. Surprise, surprise. It didn’t work. Slanderous vicious attacks on her and her family. Hundreds of thousands of dollars spent trying to play ‘gotcha’ with her life and none of it worked. The LIBERAL, PROGRESSIVE MARXISTS were in an absolute state…still are. They’re wedged so tight it would take a post hole digger to get them out. They’ve done their best to destroy her and it hasn’t worked. Her popularity and her approval ratings among the American people have only grown exponentially with each new assault. Those of her own party who have taken so many back door snide shots at her have, in their own turn, been exposed for who and what they are and dismissed by America as irrelevant.

So what gives? What is it about this lady that Americans see and want so much? It’s easy. It’s the same easy that the DeMarxists can’t ever figure out. It’s truth…it’s plain old-fashioned Conservative value truth, and the country yearns for it like water for a soul lost in the desert. We see, hear and feel ourselves in Sarah Palin and that ain’t such a bad thing. Look for the next big wedge issue to be the libs linking Sarah to the Tea Party leadership, and to then start touting a ‘third party’ a la Ross Perot. It’s nonsense. Sarah knows it, she’s said so. She knows that what we need is a solid revitalized Conservative Republican party.

There’s been a lot of speculation of whether she’ll run in 2012 and if so, can she win?
My answers to that would be, I don’t know…but oh hell yes!!

Dissention Among Democrat Senators.

Obama just can’t win for losing. NOT that that’s a bad thing. His popularity has dropped so much even the most reliable main stream polls can’t lie, distort or load their results to show anything more than dismal looking numbers for His Immanence. Gallup has him at 48%. Rasmussen has him at a -10 approval rating. Zogby shows him with a 51% disapproval rating.

Small wonder…this is, as Rush calls him, a man-child. This is not a leader that inspires confidence. I don’t see any indications of this vast intellect lauded to the stars by the fringe, now largely marginalized, press. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen any indications of leadership either. His UTTER mismanagement of our foreign policy, the monumental gaffes committed time after time in dealing with friend and foe alike, do not make for building confidence. His administration’s fiscal policies are a TRAIN WRECK. Unemployment ROSE in 29 out of the 50 States last month. Yet he puts on that vapid looking smirk and has the unmitigated temerity to go on (are both teleprompters working?) television to call it a ‘recovery’.

Troops in Afghanistan are bleeding and dying awaiting His Indecisiveness. Hell’s bells, my kid knows we need to send the reinforcements over there to complete the mission. This guy SERIOUSLY needs to be a one term President. No one in the history of this country has screwed the job up this bad or at this hyper speed. This does not bode well for the country. He could cause an awful lot of damage in three years.

Meanwhile, back in the quagmire that has become the Congress of the United States, a menagerie more akin to a lunatic asylum where the nuts have clearly taken over, Dingy Harry’s socialist express has sort of run off the rails. There is some serious internecine warfare going on over in the DeMarxist side of the Senate, despite efforts to sell the Kumbaya image. It may be the best news the REST of the nation has had all month though. The hard left will not go along unless there is a hard-line ‘public’ option. The moderates won’t go along if there is. Others will not go along if there is any provision for funding abortions, which there are.

Additionally, but probably most telling of all, is that fully 1/3 of the Senate has to face their voters next year in an election and explain to a very angry and aware electorate why they voted yes if they did…or if they do going forward. These folks have already heard plenty from you the American TAX payer, the American citizen, the life blood of this country and they will hear much more. We will highlight these Senators.

Our ammunition will be your activism…your letters, your emails, your phone calls and your visits to these Senators district offices.
And as we used to say in the Marine Corps…STANDBY…TARGETS!!
