Air, Water, Food, Fire & Health: all elements required for life. Do you realize currently in Congress there is a bill for future consideration to give the federal government more control of all these essential elements. So Independence Day 2009 ends, I want to ask, where will freedom go if Congress is successful in consuming power over all of these elements? Read more »
Changing her vote from “nay” to “yea” was Debbie Halvorson (D-IL). She swore up and down that she would “never cave in to pressure from Obama to vote yes on cap and trade.” Shortly, after a brief conversation with Barry…”I had a nice chat with the President this morning, and I’m fine with the bill.” One of two things happened at that “chat”: Chicago thuggery politics or she was promised pork for her district beyond anything she imagined. Nonetheless, she needs to go if she can’t stand on principle. Read more »
It is good to look back, but future generations will look back as well and wonder how such a great nation became such a silly nation, the object of scorn and ridicule around the world, challenged by every gangster nation that shares the planet; attacked by Al Qaeda, threatened by North Korea, mocked by Venezuela, insulted by Iran, and sustained by the wealth of China and other lenders.

Berkeley is a city of victims. You try to understand the street people and the criminals and sit down and talk to them and then they hit you on the head and steal your purse. The police come and then you refuse to press charges. The criminals know this and prey on you.” As you read this, think about what is happening in Iran, and hour the current administration wants to talk while most Americans know what will soon come afterwards. Iran knows Obama and his policies are like the city of Berkeley, and Americans will eventually pay the price. Read more »
It must be difficult for Democrats to look through the prism of right and wrong when their dreams of national domination are so close at hand. Some of us are not even sure they could find the prism if they wanted to. Minor missteps or major moral failures do not seem to be obstacles when long sought goals are within sight. Despite claims to the contrary, we are in an era when the end justifies the means. Read more »
In an AP article entitled: “Administration seeks ways to tame corporate pay”, Jim Kuhnhenn writes: “Talking tough but stepping gently, the Obama administration rejected direct intervention in corporate pay decisions Wednesday even as officials argued that excessive compensation in the private sector contributed to the nation’s financial crisis.Instead, the administration plans to seek legislation that would try to tame compensation through shareholder pressure and less management influence on pay decisions.” Read more »
What is the evidence that Democrats are different from Republicans? I’m not talking about what someone says the difference is – on TV or in the Newspaper – I’m talking about the evidence. In fact why would any thinking human being think that a congressman or president has our best interests at heart? The fact is that thousands of people swarmed in to a park and shed tears because a total stranger had been placed in the office of the presidency. They didn’t even know who he was. And they cried.

Obama attacks our free speech with his plans to regulate the internet with government controls. The internet helped promote today’s tea parties, which were formed from Obama’s willingness to create taxation without representation when he decided to spend creating a debt that millions of future of Americans had no voice in creating but are left to pay. Governor Jay Nixon of Missouri applauds and promotes this taxation without representation policy of Obama’s. It’s no wonder he wants to reduce the free exchange of ideas on the internet. Read more »
Obama continues to talk down the influence of Christianity in America. He’s gone as far as calling Americans bitter clingers referring to Christians and gun owners. He continues to create the illusion that Americans are no longer mainly Christians, although everywhere you look, you see evidence of Christianity in America. Sure, he can make the case for a conglomeration of multiple faiths, but Christianity is still the dominant faith in America. Read more »
The White House will have new powers to access private online data, regulate the cyber security industry and even shut down Internet traffic under the provisions of Senate bills No. 773 and 778, introduced by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.V.. It’s called the Cybersecurity Act of 2009. Read more »
The Negroes finally got their own President and the President finally got his own Negroes – of whom, paradoxically, many are white, and whose attitude can be described as “blacker than thou”. It is time to lift the dark overcast hovering over the nation called the Obama Administration, which is, in fact, not an Administration but a Usurpation. Read more »
The third commandment, “Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord in vain,” addresses issues of respect and holiness. Respect for God and the things of God like prayer, worship and true religion. While many people narrowly interpret the third commandment as relating to using God’s name as a curse word or in blasphemous manner, it goes much deeper than that. Read more »
Since More’s Utopian vision is one full of peaceful images and not one of the totalitarian iron fist, do the words socialism and communism mean anything to the millennials? After all, once the wall fell in Eastern Europe, we thought the threat was gone. The USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in case any millennial reading this doesn’t know), now Russia, was no longer a threat, and we defeated communism. Read more »
The so-called Mandatory Youth Service Bill, or GIVE ACT, is nothing more than Obama’s troops ordering your children to go into training to become good little socialist boys and girls. For those of us who got an education even in the public education system in America… before the unions took over… the very thought of a mandatory youth service act, of any kind, sends shivers up our spines. We remember, all too well, the youth movements in Germany, especially the Hitler Youth and the Brownshirts. Read more »
We watched Sal Alinky’s Rules for Radicals Rule #10 played out before our eyes nearly perfectly this week. Obama has power unseen of any US leader in history and the power is Alinsky based. When you consider how brilliantly they used the AIG bonuses, bonuses they knew about to create an attitude in this country of discontent towards capitalism and what Obama and the Democrats call greed, you begin to understand how Alinsky’s rules are an every day part of Obama’s direction at the White House.

Americans are going to be pounded with politicians decrying the state of our healthcare system very soon now. It is on the Obama Socialist Agenda and making it’s way to the top of the list while the country is distracted by the financial meltdown … Read more »
In the 1998 movie “Enemy of the State,” Robert Clayton Dean (Will Smith) and “Brill” (Gene Hackman) have their lives turned upside down by excessive surveillance activity from a sinister top NSA official, Thomas Reynolds (Jon Voight). Reynolds and a rogue group of NSA agents killed a congressman in a political-related murder, which was caught on tape, and for the rest of the movie they try to cover up the murder through deceit, misdirection and chaos theory – destroying evidence and intimidating witnesses, including Dean and Brill.

We now know one of the payoffs that Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter received for being one of three Republican Senators who allowed President Obama’s trillion-dollar Spendulus bill to become law. WPXI in Pittsburgh reports that Specter has a 5.5 million dollar earmark for the crescent-shaped Flight 93 memorial in the omnibus spending bill just passed by the Senate. Read more »
Creating a national or international crisis is a long standing, time proven, way for a politician, or a political group, to gain more power, or solidify it’s hold on the power it already has, while it distracts the attention of “The Great Unwashed” from what it is actually doing. By the time the voter’s attention is once again trained on the politician or political group, they have managed to acquire more power than they had and they will explain that it was necessary to get a handle on the crisis (which did not exist before they created it).

On Thursday, conservative intellectual Laura Ingraham had writer George Will on her program discussing the Obama administration, the economy and society. As usual with Laura, the conversation was spirited, substantive and serious. In my opinion, Laura Ingraham is one of the finest interviewers in modern times, because in a few minutes she can with laser-like efficiency discern how to cut through all the cognitive dissonance and sophism to get at the important root issues she wishes to expose to her audience.

A wise man once said: “Freedom stands on five boxes: The Soap Box, The Ballot Box, the Jury Box, the Witness Box, and… the Cartridge Box.
Just as so many of us predicted, gun sales and ammo sales are going through the roof in America. It did not take the use of my crystal ball to foretell this on-going event. All it took was a wee bit of common sense and paying attention to the world around me. Read more »
On Nov. 5, 2008On Nov. 5, 2008, Americans woke up to a very real Marxist coup — although most didn’t realize it. I sat down and cried while a huge crowd gathered and were cheering. I intuitively knew something was very wrong. After watching Barack Hussein Obama aggressively pursue his agenda as president, I now understand why. Read more »
We have been warning for months now that we feel the presidential election of 2008 was the last “free” election this country will ever see. I must tell you, the Obama administration is doing nothing to ease my mind and, in fact, continues to make moves that solidify our belief that the 2010 election, and elections beyond, will be nothing more than shams.

The news about the Obama administration’s action on human embryonic stem cell research was not surprising, but a bit otherworldly. Imagine a president of the United States who claims that by taking action to permit the murder of preborn human embryonic children, he is actually protecting science from politics! Oh yes, indeed.

While the rest of America stays home at night, burns the lights as little as possible to conserve on electricity, and the precious money it takes to pay the power bill, the Obamas are partying! Yeah, man, party ON!
While Americans hit the sack early so they can be out bright and early the next morning, job-hunting, the Obamas are partying until well after midnight! Read more »
If President Reagan’s foreign policy with communist nations, Muslim dictatorships and other various evil empires like North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Libya, China and the old Soviet Union was characterized by the philosophy “Peace through strength,” then surely it can be argued that Obama’s foreign policy philosophy is “Peace through begging.” Read more »
When I judge the Obama presidency I find it almost impossible to view Obama as a fully developed man. While this statement may be polemical to some, it isn’t an original idea. It has been repeatedly stated by that great conservative intellectual, Dr. Michael Savage, who said regarding Obama, “The most important word a man can tell a boy he is trying to help become a man is, ‘No.’ All of Obama’s life nobody has ever told him no.” Read more »
About those tax breaks Obama promises. You might want to prepare, in advance, for your income tax filings the next year because, as I understand it, that tiny increase in your “take home pay”, as a result, will be treated as income the next year and you WILL have to pay taxes on it. In other words… you’ll have to give the money back. Read more »
It has been a very interesting few days. Analyzing the latest presidential escapades is not always as straightforward as one might wish, but one thing has become perfectly clear to me. There is no way that a sound-thinking, upright Christian member of the medical community is going to be able to survive under the Obama onslaught unless at some level, lawmakers or judges see through the dictatorial attitudes of a president who appears to have no respect for anyone’s perspective other than his own.

During a recent trip to a local Wal-Mart, I saw something quite disturbing as I stood in the checkout line. In the magazine wrack was a commemorative edition of some publication with a portrait of Barack Obama on the cover.
That was not the disturbing part even to someone that did not vote for him. Behind him on the cover was a glow making him look angelic or even messianic in appearance. Above the image, the words read “Barack Obama: The Hope Of America”. Read more »
It is a painful time for Americans of my age. We have the memories of an America, glorious and honorable in her past… a past, which has been forgotten and erased, in many cases, from the history books of America’s students. Above all things our America was honorable. A young American today would be hard pressed to define “honor.” To define “dishonorable” is much easier. One has only to turn one’s attention to the actions of the American Congress, ruled by the American Left, for a real-time view of dishonor. Read more »
Has anyone else noticed the recent omens occurring during the stimulus debate? You might claim I am superstitious, but there have been several crashes leading up to the stimulus bill. Am I looking too deeply into coincidences, or are these genuine omens predicting the future of America. Read more »
As President Obama’s now $1.2 trillion dollar economic stimulus plan goes from the House to the Senate and now back to the House for final ratification, a growing chorus of critics and people of good will of all political stripes have arisen and are wondering out loud – Is Obama’s economic stimulus plan America’s salvation or Keynesianism on crack? I think it is the latter. Read more »
As the Obama Administration races to the Left into the waiting embrace of pure, raw, socialism we Americans find that we are no longer in control of our government. 53% of the American electorate simply did away with America as a democracy and replaced it with a Socialist Central Government.

We have said many times that liberals do not understand the military. We have said they do not understand the application of military force and they surely do not understand when to use it, as a threat, and when to actually apply that force. Read more »
While it really isn’t surprising that President Obama would be working his way toward some sort of politically motivated abortion program, it is quite interesting that he has chosen to use his new White House Office on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships as the vehicle. The irony of this relationship, however, might escape some people. I cannot see how a relationship can actually exist between people’s supposed belief in God, their apparent willingness to overlook what abortion does to children and negotiating ways to supposedly reduce the death count rather than eliminate it. I must be missing something. Read more »
According to a Washington Times story titled “Obama Now In Combat Mode”, the President is headed to a posh Williamsburg resort where he and the politburo will wallow in luxury ringing their hands about the deteriorating economy.
It is estimated that the trip will cost at least $80,000 with this tabulation arrived at by factoring in the $70,000 it will cost Democratic leaders to charter an Amtrak train to the event and the $11,000 for food and the $7,000 spent on entertainment at this leftist orgy back in 2003. Read more »
The charge by the democrats to set up a “National Health Insurance” program in America officially began with Obama signing the new CHIP bill, a few days ago, which extended health care coverage to 4 million uninsured children. The President was not the least bit bashful in announcing that his action, in signing the bill, was the first step in fulfilling his promise made during the campaign to provide universal health insurance for all Americans.

Laura Ingraham, conservative intellectual and radio host, was literally beside herself Monday morning in her opening dialogue. She was livid about Tom Daschle as President Obama’s initial appointee for secretary of health and human services apparently on his way to Senate approval despite failing to report some $255,000 in income from 2005 through 2007 for a car and driver supplied to him for personal use. Like Tim Geithner, Obama’s secretary of treasury, Daschle only admitted to Congress his tax omissions after the issue became public. Daschle also failed to report to the IRS $80,000 in consulting fees. Read more »
A few days ago, a dear friend, who happens to be a liberal, accused me of hating Obama. At first I was shocked. Then I began to reason it out and came to understand that the intolerance, within which the liberal left lives, would certainly trigger that extreme response to one who simply does not agree with another man’s political philosophy.

Keep in mind that already before the election, the Führer had demanded that the Department of Justice stop TV ads by Republican critics from airing, and had surrogates threaten critics with prosecution. He began laying the groundwork for destroying conservative talk radio, through the re-introduction of the so-called Fairness Doctrine. Read more »
