Atheists, Christians, Jews and Muslims all have the right to exist and live in the middle east. Fanatical Islamic psychotics sending homicide bombers into an ice cream shop killing innocent women and children must be exterminated as they are unwilling to except nothing other than Sharia law and expect the rest of us to also convert to Islam and abide by Sharia law. I for one do not have a problem defending ourselves from those who intend to harm us!
Cordoba House is an insensitive insult against 3000 dead Americans and all their families. They where murdered because of Islamic beliefs about Americans in the middle east. Many Muslims believe Islam must be made superior, victorious: dominant. Its Mosques must be larger and more numerous than churches, as a sign of domination. Muslims are planting their flag, symbolically seizing territory. Is there some part of this you can't comprehend? This proposed Mosque needs to be moved further away.

Embrace the Conservative core values of low taxes, smaller government, freedom to practice religion or not if you desire, right to bear arms, a strong military and the right to an alternative education verses the failed public education. The Liberal answer let’s throw more money and regulations at the problem. Big government, big labor and big business is oppressing the common man. Reagan Akbar!

Neoconservatism isn't new or conservative
Hardly a day goes by without a member of the far left wing falsely accusing conservatives of racism, bigotry, and a wide array of similar nasty things. 21 Democrat Senators organized the record Senate filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. A calculation of 26 major civil rights votes from 1933 through the 1960's civil rights era shows that Republicans favored civil rights in approximately 96% of the votes, whereas the Democrats opposed them in 80% of the votes! I am tired of the lefts predictable history revisions. Go to the Merriam Webster dictionary and you will see that the #1 definition of a neocon is a former liberal espousing political conservatism. The term has turned into poorly used slur by the left, the ironic thing is the labeled neocons rarely are. As a most have never been a liberal and they also generally abhor liberal beliefs. I prefer to think of myself as a Compassionate Conservative. Neoconservatism isn't new or conservative; the concept of using American power to establish democracy and protect freedom is at its core a liberal, internationalist idea.

How Obama killed Keynesian economics
Since the Roosevelt era, it has been long assumed that Keynesian economics, basically Govt. spending on a huge scale, cured the Great Depression. It has been a long used mantra of the Democratic Party because their motivations were spending and redistribution. Those who know a bit more about economics will clarify that it was not spending that ended the Great Depression, but rather World War II.
Think about it–suppose you were to borrow a large sum of money via multiple credit cards. You then took that money, and rather than spend it on your own small business, were to squander it on comic books and snack foods. Sure, this will help the manufacturers of said items in the short term. But what happens when the credit runs out? Well….shhh…don’t tell the President, but it means you are broke. And while you might still want to buy comics and junk food, you are penniless. To the Keynesian the solution is to try and open up new credit cards and spend freely, hoping that at some point a miracle will happen and you will be hired by Hostess. The truth of the matter is, you are simply moving money around, and aquiring debt in the process. Eventually, your credit runs out and you are worse off than before.
If most people instead took their own money, and perhaps had a tax cut to increase the amount of money they actually had (after all, Govt is a sink hole where money goes to die) and invested it in a small business, and hired some employees, your chances of increasing your money personally increases. Of course, employed people and businesses also pay more taxes than the unemployed, so the amount of money going to the Govt naturally increases as well.
The falsity of Keynesian economics is one perpetuated by ivory-tower thinkers who have never run a business of their own. President Barack Obama is in that group. These people have a hard time fully understanding the basics of how things run, and how Capitalism increases economic activity, and how Government and taxation spoils economic activity. They think the “money tree” is debt, but it is actually small and large business that produces money via production of goods and services. Naturally, when a dollar is produced via business, that business in turn may reinvest a portion of that money on employees, expansion, or retooling. Govt spends the same money on more employee benefits with a zero sum gain.
The election of Barack Obama has exposed Leftism for what it is: basically a “pie in the sky” belief in false principles that don’t work in the real world. The President has done something that the Conservatives have had little luck in promoting, basically the falsehood of Governement as savior. Mr Obama has instead shown Government spending and taxation, and Keynesianism for what it is—the destroyer of nations.
I found it laughable that during the G8/G20 summits that the President seemed to be a man alone. European leaders, who are struggling with long-term Socialist and Keynesian principles basically told him to “go blow” as he talked about the need for spending Trillions more on so-called “Stimulus”. At the same time one might also have been scared by Obama’s stance, as it made clear his complete incompetence and shallow intellect. This man, who was to be the glory of Leftism, may instead prove to be it’s inevitable destroyer. His blind loyalty to ideology, his lack of introspection and self-correction, these are the qualities of a Dictator.
The President, if he were as brilliant as he thinks he is, would understand that slavery is a bitter pill to swallow. It takes time and a good portion of honey (provided by the media) to slowly lull the uninformed masses to bear the yoke. Instead, this foolish man has rushed out and spoken of his unlimited power, grabbed the American citizen by the wrist, and struggles to lock on the cuffs, while shouting, “You are acting…stupidly!”.
The shockwaves of this will linger for generations. And it will be spoken of in History books, about the grand dictatorial vision of a small man with oratory capability who tried to ruin the greatest nation on Earth to prove a “theory”, Keynesianism, and failed.

President Obama Endorses Building Mosque Near Ground Zero
Why am I not surprised that Americas worst president ever has got it wrong once again. Are you missing GWB yet? This loser is doing more irreparable harm in a shorter time then even Hoover did! Thank God he will be a one term President. To all of you slowing him, Pelosi and Reid down my hats are off to you all.
"As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country," "That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable." Obama said.
Atheists, Christians, Jews and Muslims all have the right to exist and live in the middle east or any where else for that matter. Fanatical Islamic psychotics sending homicide bombers into an ice cream shop killing innocent women and children must be exterminated. They are unwilling to except nothing other than Sharia law and expect the rest of us to also convert to Islam and abide by Sharia law. I for one do not have a problem defending ourselves from those who intend to harm us!
The most ironic and funny thing is that his own supporters will be the first ones exterminated under sharia law. If the Islamic Fascists win the war that they are now waging against us, negotiations are not possible with them read their own quotes and any one will see that in their own words in Arabic (as they lie and contradict themselves in English) they will only except complete victory or death.

''I was a little Jakarta street kid,'' he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office . He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics -- and more likely to be aware of their nationalism -- if he once studied the Koran with them.
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ''one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.''

Moreover, Mr. Obama's own grandfather in Kenya was a Muslim. Mr. Obama never met his grandfather and says he isn't sure if his grandfather's two wives were simultaneous or consecutive, or even if he was Sunni or Shiite. (O.K., maybe Mr. Obama should just give up on Alabama.)

Barack Obama is the worst president in history!
"Barack Obama is the worst president in history," "our generation will inherit a weakened country." "Somebody has to go to Washington and knock the hell out of the place." said Ben Quayle.
I am so glad someone has finally stated the obvious truth. I suppose being a student, teacher, community organizer and legislator makes you smarter than a Mayor and State Governor! The standard responses of you are a dumb racist from the left when they have no argument is all I am seeing here. Obama Palosi and Reid are taking America down the path of Communism and Marxism. When is this Chicago style community organizing crap going to be acknowledged and stopped? The violence and discrimination is always coming from the left not the right! They are discriminating against the productive hard working Americans.

When guns are outlawed then only the outlaws will have guns.
I have no desire to shoot anything. The reason I keep weapons, train and practice self defense techniques is for the protection of myself and those around me that I love. For me it is not an amusement or game as I hate violence but I dislike being a victim even more! One can not rely on others for self preservation cause sometimes the ones that are supposed to protect you are not close enough or may even be corrupt and intending to harm you. Self defense is a right not a privilege.

Dem Operative Tyler Clay Collins caught smearing TEA party
Still little to no coverage by the left biased mainstream media.
Here is an article on the fraud
The Liberals are desperate and resorting to Saul Alinsky like tactics used by corrupt community organizers once again. "It's obvious it's a Democratic play," said Jason Gillman, a Tea Party activist from Traverse City, Mich.
Here is a link to the you tube video of Tyler in action.

More wasteful government spending coming our way. Taxed Enough Allready (TEA)
Here are some recent statements by politicians that I feel are noteworthy.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the House will reconvene for a vote on the $26 billion state aid bill aimed at saving the jobs of teachers and other public employees, while giving the states a helping hand with Medicaid. Is this what you want?
“This has been the my way or the highway administration from the stimulus bill forward,” “Democrats on Capitol Hill and in this administration have slammed the door on republican ideas, have slammed the door on bipartisan proposals.” said Republican Indiana Rep. Mike Pence
"This bill is a brazen attempt to funnel more money to public employee unions before an election at a moment of record deficits and debt.” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
"This election is about jobs. The American Dream is threatened, but Washington continues its reckless spending, massive debt, and tax increases," said Linda McMahon
"Teachers, nurses and cops should not be used as pawns in a cynical political game" resulting from "the Democratic majority's failure to govern responsibly," said David Dreier.
President Obama signed a bill that he says will save hundreds of thousands of teacher and other public workers from unemployment. The $26 billion bill would protect 300,000 teachers, police and others from election-year layoffs almost all are union members. The bill is a blatant giveaway to teachers unions and an another obvious example of wasteful Washington spending.

Tim Adems quote regarding Obama's birth
“I had direct access to the Social Security database, the national crime computer, state driver’s license information, international passport information, basically just about anything you can imagine to get someone’s identity,” says Timothy Adams, who served as senior government records clerk in Honolulu in 2008.
“There is no birth certificate. I was informed by my boss that we did not have Obama’s birth record.”

The Hollywood limousine Liberals.
The Hollywood limousine Liberals. Do as I say not as I do. Drive a Prius to save the environment then fly in a privet jet and live in 10,000 square foot mansion with a heated pool! They support gun control, but they go everywhere surrounded by armed bodyguards. They join organizations like PETA because they believe that killing animals is wrong, but they wear expensive leather belts and shoes.
It has been my experience based on 30 years I have been in the workforce that more regulations unenforced are far inferior to a few well thought out and strictly enforced regulations tends to work better. What really happens is that complex lightly monitored regulations get ignored and then the crap hits the fan due to the inevitable accident that eventually always happens. What pisses me off is when a productive person is so taxed and regulated that he goes unproductive or worse underground, illegal and untaxed!

When guns are outlawed then only the outlaws will have guns.
When guns are outlawed then only the outlaws will have guns. An important step to socializing a country is to disarm the citizens. Tyrants like Stalin, Hitler, and Mao all sought to disarm their own citizens in order to control them and ensure their own power. Sometimes you have to defend yourself as the police cannot be everywhere all the time and if my family is threatened I will not hesitate to shoot someone and will be happy to face the consequences of my actions.
Let's ban all cars cause some nut case committed a crime with a car, is that not the liberal way. I hope that criminals do some time in a jail with a friend or relative of one of the victims.

This is just wrong on so many levels!

The brown-shirts oops I meant purple-shirts are next. This looks a lot like Americas version of National Socialism. Progressivism creates false expectations among the poor that cannot be fulfilled. Why will anyone continue to be productive over time when 60% of your efforts is given to the unproductive. Big government with the associated necessary high taxes are the opposite of freedom.

Video: Frank in 2005 — Bubble? What bubble?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW5qKYfqALE&playnext_from=TL&videos=lAgmOysFG9U&feature=recentf
excerpts with my additions from a post at 11:35 am on April 24, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Barney Frank argued this week that he had always warned about the excesses of pushing home ownership and had advocated for rentals instead. Our friends at Verum Serum couldn’t believe their ears, because Frank has long been one of the loudest voices supporting the CRA and Fannie/Freddie policies that encouraged irresponsible lending. Here’s Frank making that clear on the floor of Congress on June 27, 2005, in support of the recognition of National Home Ownership Month:
I think we have an excessive degree of concern right now about home ownership and its role in the economy. Obviously, speculation is never a good thing. But those who argue that housing prices are now at the point of a bubble seem to me to missing a very important point. Unlike previous examples we have had, where substantial excessive inflation of prices later caused some problems, we are talking here about an entity — home ownership, homes — where there is not the degree of leverage we have seen elsewhere. This is not the dot-com situation; we have problems with people having invested in business plans for which there was no reality. People building fiber-optic cable for which there was no need. Homes that are occupied may see an ebb and flow in the price at a certain percentage level, but you’re not going to see the collapse that you see when people talk about a bubble. And so, those of us on our committee in particular, will continue to push for home ownership.
Now check what Frank claims was his position all along:
Now, suddenly, home ownership was a conservative idea, and Frank suddenly realizes that people should only buy houses when they can afford them. Only a politician could lie with such a lack of conscience, but with a surfeit of sanctimony.
His “Bubble? What bubble?” performance in June 2005 should become required viewing for anyone who wants the real history of how the economy collapsed. In another addition to the Someone Left The Irony On Department, Frank scolds the people behind the dot-com bubble for not having realistic business plans while Frank protected Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from regulators who warned that the two GSEs had the same exact problem. And Frank was right that the housing collapse wouldn’t be as bad as the dot-com pop — but in fact it was much, much worse, thanks to Congressional action that mandated the creation of mortgage-backed securities that spread the poison of bad loans throughout the global financial system. The dot-com bubble burst resulted in a mild recession, but Frank’s supposedly-impossible housing bubble collapse sent the entire world economy crashing into a heap.
Clueless? A liar? In this case, Frank qualifies as both.

Obama letter to congress begging for another 50 billion bailout to go to the Unions
"Democrats are showing either that they just don't get it on this issue of the debt, or that they just don't care," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said in a reaction to the Obama letter to congress begging for another 50 billion bailout to go to the Unions. "You can understand the American people's skepticism when they're told that simply adding more government is the solution to government's previous failures."
Recent Events and my observations on them
My You Tube page http://www.youtube.com/user/dsmith6289 - Tim Adams a former senior elections clerk for the city and county of Honolulu during 2008 said
"I had direct access to the Social Security database, the national crime computer, state driver's license information, international passport information, basically just about anything you can imagine to get someone's identity....I could look up what bank your home mortgage was in. I was informed by my boss that we did not have a birth record [for Obama]. They ( both hospitals) told us, 'We don't have a birth certificate for him,'" he said. They told my supervisor, either by phone or by e-mail, neither one has a document that a doctor signed off on saying they were present at this man's birth.
Why are we drilling in 5,000 feet of water in the first place? Environmentalists have driven us out there. The environmentalists have succeeded in rendering the Pacific and nearly all the Atlantic coast off-limits to oil production. We have been stopped by the environmentalists from drilling any where on our own land. Bush and Reagan did it is all you will hear from the left. There will always be catastrophic oil spills. We can only reduce the chances and minimize the damage. Not that the environmentalists are the only ones to blame. But it is unbelievable that they've escaped any mention at all from the mainstream media.
How about some more of that Obama transparency on the Sestak job offer. More like the age old Chicago corrupt politics and business as usual not the change we were promised. The Israelis know how to handle those peaceful protesters from the left. Mohammad is a punk, for allowing his followers to intentionally murder innocent women and children. This cannot be justified in any circumstance. Anyone involved in these acts needs to be exterminated also. The sooner the left acknowledges this the better. They only condone violence if their power or entitlements are threatened (see Immigration, Greece or France protests).

The Progressive cause of the current Swine Flue (H1N1) Vaccine shortage
I remembered the arguments and hype a few years back regarding the whole vaccine thing. Just another reason to avoid goverment run heathcare. Does anyone else remember that debate and why is the mass media ignoring this?
below is somthing I found on the web you might find interesting.

Everyone knows America's vaccine industry is in serious trouble, with an ever dwindling number of producers and recent severe vaccine shortages. What everyone also should know is that the National Academy of Science's Institute of Medicine has now pinned much of the blame on Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Well, not in so many words. The panel of doctors and economists issuing a report on vaccines last week was too polite to mention the former First Lady by name. But they identify as a fundamental cause of the problem the fact that the government purchases 55% of the childhood vaccine market at forced discount prices. The result has been "declining financial incentives to develop and produce vaccines."
The root of this government role goes back to August 1993, when Congress passed Mrs. Clinton's Vaccines for Children program. A dream of Hillary's friends at the Children's Defense Fund, her vaccines plan was to use federal power to ensure universal immunization. So the government agreed to purchase a third of the national vaccine supply (the Clintons had pushed for 100%) at a forced discount of half price, then distribute it to doctors to deliver to the poor and the un- and under-insured.
The result is a cautionary tale for anyone who favors national health care. Already very high in 1993, childhood vaccination rates barely budged. A General Accounting Office report at the time noted that "vaccines are already free" for the truly needy through programs like Medicaid. Meanwhile, however, the Hillary project dealt the vaccine industry another financial body blow.
Thirty years ago, the Institute report notes, 25 companies produced vaccines for the U.S. market. Today only five remain, and a number of critical shots have only one producer. Recent years have brought shortages of numerous vaccines, including those for whooping cough, diphtheria and chicken pox.
The Institute of Medicine panel seems to assume -- probably correctly -- that it's not politically feasible simply to kill something called Vaccines for Children. But it does suggest that removing the government as a direct purchaser would allow for adequate reimbursement and help the industry to get back on its feet. So it recommends replacing existing vaccination programs with a subsidized insurance mandate for children and seniors, and with vouchers for those who lack coverage.
In the short run, this might marginally improve on the existing system. But insurers rightly worry that future budget pressures would cause the subsidy to dry up, leaving them with yet another costly coverage mandate. An even greater risk is that it would put the government in position to determine which vaccines to subsidize, and to determine the subsidy level based on nebulous estimates of "the societal value of the vaccine." This seems like an indirect price control, and we can't think of any other industry in which a government policy of picking winners has been conducive to innovation.
The better answer is a return to a freer market. Private companies are willing to innovate if they can get an adequate return. Vaccines are a predictable cost, not a variable insurable risk, and so are affordable for even the poorest Americans. Jack Calfee of the American Enterprise Institute estimates that vaccines account for less than 2% of the pharmaceutical market or less than two-tenths of one percent of total U.S. health costs. The $400-$600 cost of the recommended round of childhood vaccines is spread out over 16 years, and the truly needy qualify for Medicaid or the federally funded State Children's Health Insurance Program.
Apart from price controls, the other great threat to vaccine makers has been tort lawyers. Congress took a significant step to solve this problem in 1986, creating the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, and requiring the injured parties to seek redress there before they can sue in regular courts. But plaintiffs' lawyers have been crafty in finding ways around the VICP, most notoriously by claiming damages due to the discontinued but harmless vaccine additive thimerosal. There's still work to be done here.
The Institute of Medicine panel deserves credit for highlighting the threat to vaccine makers from government price controls. Mrs. Clinton is a powerful Senator now with Presidential ambitions. It took some guts for the Institute panel to say in effect that one of her pet projects is a bust. As Congress considers Medicare legislation that could do similar harm to prescription drug makers, the vaccine tale is a timely alarm.

The obvious bias of mainstreem media for Obama
I was appalled by the Obama administration’s decision to have the terrorists tried in New York by a civilian court. I cannot wait for the media circus to unfold on this one and then see how the mainstream media will spin this one for the progressives. Gitmo was the perfect setup for these combatants that are trying to kill us in a time of war. Another one I cannot believe is how little negative press is being said about the unemployment rate and Obama/Pelosi/Reid programs.I remember when Reagan was in office the news outlets where ripping him apart and assigning all blame to his administration.
A webpage clearly showing the bias of mainstream media for Obama.

Some examples of goverment run programs.
Some examples of goverment run programs.
The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You've had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.
Social Security was established in 1935. You've had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.
Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You've had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.
War on Poverty started in 1964. You've had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.
Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You've had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You've had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.
The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You've had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.
The failed Public Education system is only used as a last resort if you cannot afford private education as proved by the successful voucher programs. The finest health program in the world is about to be ruined if these proposed Health Reforms are enacted as proposed. So now the goverment will get it correct this time?

Pelosi Health Bill Has Radical Socialist Agenda
When our country is besieged and bedeviled by socialists who neither understand nor respect America, we must fight back with every fiber of our being.
What is the hurry, let’s have a BIPARTISON solution. Not a socialist solution. The two party system is why this country is great!
I agree that the system has flaws and needs to be improved. We cannot make CHANGES this huge in six months and under a one party system let us move slowly and take 10 years if needed and get the conservative input so that we have a fair and balanced solution.
We have the best system on the planet as proven by all the people coming from all the countries with socialized systems to actually get cured here. Let us not ruin a good thing but improve it, is that not unreasonable?
I lived in Montreal Que. Canada for four years and speak from personal experience that their universal government run health system is inferior to ours.
If anyone still thinks Obama health plan will not bankrupt us. We need to slow down and take slower more methodical approach to the health crises, as socialized medicine is inferior to our present system. We have the best system on the planet as proven by all the people coming from all the countries with socialized systems to actually get cured here. Our problem is the uninsured we need to provide a fraud reduced Medicaid/care like solution of minimal care introduced incrementally over time as we can fund it expanded to those that need it.
Everyone knows that a public option for health care will lead to the same situation we have with public education: Anyone who can afford it will pay twice -- once for the public option that they don't use and again for the private option that they do.
