Obama to drop missile shield plans?

Leave a comment

“Washington has told Moscow that Russian help in resolving Iran’s nuclear program would make its missile shield plans for Europe unnecessary” – March 2, 2009, 4:16pm, en.rian.ru

We should remember this day when Europe, the United States or elsewhere is hit by a missile that could have been stopped by an anti-missle shield.  Never in the course of history has a madman (or madwoman) been stopped by appeasement and backing down from self-defense.  

Let us hope we do not come to rue this day any time soon.

Robert Gibbs has hearing problems?

Leave a comment

“it would be charitable to say he doubled down on what he said in January in wishing and hoping for economic failure in this country.” – Robert Gibbs, Press Secretary for President Barack Hussein Obama on Rush Limbaugh, March 2, 2009

 

Not that Rush Limbaugh needs defending, but Robert Gibbs either purposefully ignores what Rush says, has hearing and reading problems, or is just plain dense.  Anyone who opposes socialism/statism/collectivism should hope that the policies that President Obama proposes fail.  “Success” in this case means LESS FREEDOM and more control of  your lives from Washington.  NO ONE hopes that the country fails economically, anyone who treasures freedom hopes that anti-liberty policies fail.  Gibbs, it is easy to attack a straw man argument, the Presidency deserves real responses, not copouts.

 

“I can only imagine what might have been said a few years ago if somebody might have said that on the other side relating to what was going on in this country or our  endeavors overseas.” – Gibbs

And it appears his memory is failing too.

Obama will tax the ‘blackest/whitest” 2%?

Leave a comment

Imagine if President Obama proposed taxing the blackest or whitest or gayest or straightest or most religious 2% of all citizens at a higher rate than the rest of the population.  Would anyone stand for picking on a minority like that?  Would anyone stand for singling people out like that?

Now replace blackest/whitest/gayest/straightest/most religious with something like “most talented” or “most successful” and no one has a problem with it.  

So much for the concept of equal treatment under the law.  So much for equality.

Freedom is endowed by our creator, every person’s right, and results in the most efficient system available.  Increased government control limits your freedom and eventually it will limit it enough that you have none left and it will be too late to respond.

Biden: do you know the website number?

Leave a comment

First we had the internet described as a “series of tubes” by Senator Ted Stevens now we have Vice President Biden asking if “you know the website number?”   

Anchor on WBZ-TV, Washington, DC: By the way do you know the website?

Vice President Biden:  You know I’m embarrassed, you know the website number? [Asked to someone off camera.]  I, sss, you know I should have it in front of me and I don’t.  I’m actually embarrassed.

Vice President, perhaps you can call Senator Stevens or former Vice President Gore, it isn’t a website number (unless you mean Phonebook.com’s redirect service like www.phonebook.com/202-456-1414).

After banning Earmarks, Obama has about 9000 are in ‘stimulus’ bill!

Leave a comment

You have to love the double-talk on earmarks in the budgets:

“The bill will contain about 9,000 earmarks totaling $5 billion, congressional officials say.”  AP, Sunday, February 22, 2009, AP’s Miami Herald article on earmarks.

“I’m proud that we passed a recovery plan free of earmarks.” President Obama, February 24, 2009

“We are going to ban all earmarks, the process by which individual members insert pet projects without review,” President Obama, January 6, 2009

“We need earmark reform. And when I’m president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.” Obama September 2008 presidential debate in Oxford, Miss.

HR-45, the Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009

It didn’t take long to introduce more gun ownership regulation.  (See http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.45.IH:)  The short list of requirements are:

1. Guns must be registered (any rifle with a clip or any pistol)

2. You must be fingerprinted.

3. You must supply your social Continue reading HR-45, the Blair Holt’s Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 →

President Clinton Ignores First Amendment

1 Comment

Yesterday (Feb 13, 2009) radio host Mario Solis Marich asked former President Bill Clinton if it was time for “some type of enforced media accountability.”  Clinton replied:

“Well, you either ought to have the Fairness Doctrine or we ought to have more balance on the other side, because essentially there’s always been a lot of big money to support the right wing talk shows and let face it, you know, Rush Limbaugh is fairly entertaining even when he is saying things that I think are ridiculous….”

 

For someone who attended law school and was President of the United States to blatantly ignore the First Amendment to the Constitution (not to mention the fact that the Constitution gives the Federal Government no power to regulate the press) is appalling.  

When all power is concentrated in Washington and there is no one permitted to speak up for Freedom and Liberty, we can look back on comments such as these and see the steps we took to get there.

Henrietta Hughes has trouble “getting” $400 a month

Leave a comment

“Where was I going to get $400 a month to give her if I got these expenses,” Henrietta Hughes told WINK News.(This is the woman who had told President Obama on Tuesday (Feb 10, 2009): “I have an urgent need, unemployment and homelessness, a very small vehicle for my family and I to live in.  The housing authority has two years’ waiting lists, and we need something more than the vehicle and the parks to go to. We need our own kitchen and our own bathroom. Please help.”)

Now on Friday  she asked where she was “going to get $400 a month.”  Henrietta,  it is called a J-O-B.  You don’t “get” $400 per month.  You EARN it for doing WORK that is of VALUE to someone else.

I want to know where I’m “going to get $4 million a month.”  The only answer is that I am going to EARN it or I am going to TAKE it from someone else by force.  If I come up with an excuse that I *really* *really* NEED $4 million per month, will Washington send it to me?  

When you are asking for a hand-out from the rest of us (or worse, taking it at the point of a gun),  you better be ready for the strings that come with it.
