US News

As I'm writing this, I'm wondering what our President is doing.  Is he thinking maybe he is in over his head?  Is he thinking how to stop the oil in the Gulf, save jobs, kick-start the economy, fix immigration?  No, he knows exactly what he is doing and we should not be one bit surprised.  After all, the witting was on the wall, but too many Americans refused to see the man for who he really is and fell for his lies. 

I find it very interesting that the very concept that Martin Luther King Jr. fought so hard against, is exactly what got Barrack Obama elected President of the United States.  MLK said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."  Seems ironic now, just 42 years later that Americans felt the need to vote for a man based on his skin color and not the content of his character.  We all knew about his communist mentor in Hawaii, his racist preacher of 20 years, his ties with terrorists and of course his good friend Cass Sunstein.  All of these people have had a significant impact on Obama and the direction he is taking the country.  Do you remember Obama saying this, "In five days we are going to fundamentally transform America" (Fox News)?  Well it looks as though he is well on his way.

All one has to do is look at what he is doing to America and you can see that he is really trying to "fundamentally transform America".  Since he was elected, the Government has taken over two Automakers, several banks, paid massive payoffs to the unions, he has appointed numerous radical socialists to his administration, increased the national debt by trillions, pushed a Government takeover of health care, claimed to be in charge of the Gulf oil spill, but blames everyone else for the disaster and piss poor response, dropped kicked the Gulf States economy even harder by ordering a drilling moratorium, pushed for even more spending and job killing measures in an effort to destroy this great nation, is pushing a social experiment on our military while they are engaged in two wars, is suing the state of Arizona for trying to protect their citizens from illegal immigrates who have taken over part of the state, directed NASA to help Muslim nations feel good and Americans still don't seem to get it yet.

Can anyone really say that we are better off today in America now the Obama is President?  For the first time in my life, I fear for the future of this country.  I only hope that more Americans will see the light and vote these idiots out of office this November leaving him with as little power as possible.  Then in 2012, we can send his socialist ass packing.

The effort to repeal DADT has very little to do with homosexuals serving their country openly. This is nothing more than a politically motivated effort by politicians and a minority of people to gain votes and push a social agenda.

For years, homosexuals have said they just want to be able to serve their country openly and proudly, all the while defying the very core values our military live by every day. They use terms like “equal rights” and “discrimination” to try to make their efforts sound legitimate, but they fail to understand one simple fact. No one has the “right to serve” in the military. Serving in the military is an honor and privilege. Compromises of core values are never accepted and everyone who serves understands it takes a commitment to a set of values that are rooted deep in tradition, honor and professionalism. Attempting to join the military should never be compared to the rights afforded to all Americans when seeking employment in the civilian world.

If repealing DADT were really about “equal rights” and removing “discrimination” then we would have to address a whole list of issues and not just homosexuals serving openly. The military discriminates against a number of groups and minorities in order to ensure good discipline, unit cohesion and effectiveness. If “equal rights” applied to the military, they would not be able to “discriminate” based on age, but they do every day. They would not be able to “discriminate” based on a person’s weight, but they discharge thousands of members every year for being overweight, even if they can pass their fitness test. They would not be able to “discriminate” based on what tattoos a person may have, but they deny enlistment to people every day because of tattoos. So you see, if repealing DADT was about “equal rights” and tearing down the walls of “discrimination”, we should be going after all the discriminators, but the recruit who is overweight and may have a few tattoos does not have the high paid lawyers and politicians in his pocket, like the gay rights groups. Therefore, he is just denied entry, while the homosexual is “discriminated” against and denied “equal rights”. It just seems wrong to cave into one group, while ignoring another group.

Unlike the civilian world, serving in the military is not just about being able to do your job. The military has to operate as a fully integrated team, not a social club where everyone does what he or she feels. Anyone who joins the military must be able to work and live as a team in close and often very difficult situations. This requires members to live by similar values and beliefs. Someone’s behavior cannot be allowed to cause a distraction or make other members feel uncomfortable. This is specifically why homosexuals are prohibited to serve openly. Homosexual behavior is not viewed by the majority of military members as being compatible with the military standards of conduct. So for homosexuals to claim they are being discriminated against I say this is not about you; it is about what is good for the military and our national security.

However, in an effort to be fair, let us think about this for minute. If DADT is repealed, what kind of living conditions will we force our military to live in? Will the military be forced to have facilities (showers, bathrooms, barracks and tents) for four or five different groups, or maybe just one? Will a minority looking for acceptance of their behavior, trample the rights of the majority to feel comfortable where they live and work? How will bi-sexual and transgender people serve? Will the transgender man be allowed to dress as a woman soldier one day, use the women’s facilities, and then dress as a male soldier the next? How many heterosexual Americans would really feel comfortable living and showering with known homosexuals? Why in the hell should our military have to deal with this type of social experimentation during wartime?

As mentioned above, repealing DADT is not about “equal rights” or discrimination against a minority. The military discriminates against a number of groups every day, but we never hear anyone complaining or any lawmaker trying to make a stand for them.

Therefore, with all politics aside, our political and military leaders need to address the repeal of DADT from the point of how would the repeal improve or strengthen our military and not from a perspective of how we can help a minority with their social agenda. If there is not hard quantifiable evidence that repealing DADT will significantly improve military effectiveness, then repealing the policy is not an option. To repeal the policy without that evidence would be nothing less than treason.

In another display of arrogance and ignorance, AG Eric Holder said Thursday he has not yet read the Arizona immigration law.  Now, you would think that before a United States Attorney General passes judgment about a law, he would at least read the law first. 

"In a Department of Justice oversight hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Ted Poe (R-Tex.) said to Holder, "I understand that you may file a lawsuit against the law. Seems to me the Administration ought to be enforcing border security and immigration laws and not challenge them, and that the Administration is on the wrong side of the American people."

Poe then asked Holder point blank, "Have you read the Arizona law?"    ERIC HOLDER, ATTORNEY GENERAL: I have not had a chance to, I've glanced at it. I have not read it.  (News Busters)

Everyday, this administration enforces my opinion of just how inept they really are in everything they do.  November cannot get here fast enough...

I have been watching the lame street media play up this Arizona Immigration Law to be something bigger then it really is and how it has caused people to act like complete idiots over something they have not read.   Enter Assistant Superintendent Suzan Hebson, who's clueless and completely ignorant attempt to show she can be "Politically Correct" with the rest of the liberal confused masses, has decided that allowing The Highland Park High School varsity basketball team to go to Arizona for a basketball tournament "would not be aligned” with the school's “beliefs and values.”(Fox News) 

However, the school must feel that China, South America and the Czech Republic are better aligned to their "beliefs and values", since the school sent students there on trips.  You know it is people like Suzan Hebson who think their personal "beliefs and values", regardless of how ignorant of fact they are, should be pushed down our kids throats, that are destroying this country.  When teachers and school administrators act like they know what is best for our kids in certain political situations, we all lose as a nation.  This woman should be fired on the spot and these teens who worked hard raising money for this trip should be allowed to go and play.

Well the Socialist In Charge and his crew came out on Friday with more lies and distortion about his Government take over of health care, claiming

"The Affordable Care Act will cover more Americans and strengthen Medicare by cracking down on waste fraud and abuse, modernizing payment systems and improving benefits by providing free preventive services, supporting innovations that help control chronic disease and closing the prescription drug donut hole," [Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius]

The facts show, according the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, that this massive nut roll the Democrats past will not hold down costs over the next ten years and in fact will cause them to increase.  It will also force about 7 million seniors off their current Medicare coverage according the House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio.

"According to his own administration's analysis, the health care law the president signed one month ago today would violate his pledge to 'bend the cost curve' and force millions of seniors off their current Medicare coverage." John Boehner, R-Ohio.

Not only are the Republicans calling this bill a disaster, but even Obama's administration's analysts have said it will not do what Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the Democrats claim.  Sounds like more lies and distortion.  Some of the other issues with the bill are listed below: 

-- About 14 million people would lose their employer coverage by 2019 as smaller employers terminate coverage and workers who currently have employer coverage become enrolled in Medicaid;

-- The estimated reductions in the growth rate of health spending "may not be fully achievable" because "Medicare productivity adjustments could become unsustainable even within the next 10 years, and over time the reductions in the scope of employer-sponsored health insurance could also become an issue";

-- New fees and taxes on medical device makers will "generally be passed through to health consumers in the form of higher drug and devices prices and higher premiums";

-- By 2011 and 2012 the initial $5 billion in federal funding for the creation of a national high-risk pool "would be exhausted, resulting in substantial premium increases to sustain the program; we anticipate that such increases would limit further participation";

-- It is reasonable to expect that a significant portion of the increased demand for Medicaid would be difficult to meet, particularly over the first few years";

-- Businesses would pay $87 billion in penalties between 2014-2019 for failure to offer insurance.  [Fox News]

We need to get rid of these idiots in Washington, this November.

Now this is great news on top of the health care bill that the Democrats are trying to ram through Congress that will kill our economy.  Now we hear that Social Security is out of money.   "the federal government already spent that money over the years on other programs, preferring to borrow from Social Security rather than foreign creditors."  [Fox News]  This is a crime.

Now this is from the Government that wants to take over 1/6 of economy and run our health care.  God help us if this bill passes.

Back in March, I discussed Obama's nominee, Harold Koh for State Department's legal adviser.  This was the guy who sees no "reason why sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States"

Now, Obama has added another radical to his administration.  Enter, Rashad Hussain.

"Sami al-Arian is the former Florida professor who turned out to be a leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and who waged an immensely successful propaganda campaign charging that his prosecution was a manifestation of "Islamophobia" -- until he pled guilty, that is. And Rashad Hussain was part of that campaign, although someone has tried to cover up that fact." "Obama's New OIC Envoy Defended Activist Who Aided Terrorist Group," by Patrick Goodenough for CNS News, February 15: (Jihadwatch)

So we now have one guy who supports "Sharia Law" and another radical who supports the leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad.  Something here is just not making any sense.  At what point will the American people and the MSM start asking the hard questions about where this President is taking this nation?

With each passing day, we see just how reckless Obama's decision to close GITMO without a plan is turning into a bigger and bigger National Security nut roll. If he would have taken his time, developed a plan and secured the cooperation of other countries, he may have been able to close GITMO, but his inexperience and arrogant attitude has only proven why experience as community organizer does not make a Commander in Chief.

And now, according to Michael Isikoff of Newsweek, we may be looking at "Gitmo Forever".

"But the final irony is that many of the detainees may not even want to be transferred to Thomson and could conceivably even raise their own legal roadblocks to allow them to stay at Gitmo".

 You got to love it; detainees may sue to stay in GITMO. This administration is a joke!

You know I really think these idiots who get elected to Congress should have to take a test on the Constitution and other documents our Founding Fathers wrote. 

Enter Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) who thinks the Constitution gives Congress the authority to require that every American buy health insurance (Matt Cover, 2009).

Wow, did you know that?  I wonder how long it will be before they think the Constitution gives them the authority to require us to by a car from GM, since they (or I should say we the taxpayers) own the majority of the stock? 

Just so no one really thinks this is in the Constitution, here is what some others have to say;

“Nowhere in the Constitution is Congress given the power to mandate that an individual enter into a contract with a private party or purchase a good or service,” wrote  Heritage scholars Randy Barnett, Nathaniel Stewart, and Todd F. Gaziano.

This health care bill is a major disaster for America and we need to contact Congress now.

Fearing their butts may be in hot water for supporting the disastrous health care bill, Democrats are running scared to the White House requesting the "Boy Blunder" hold off on the "Cap & Trade" bill. 

Sounds to me that these idiots may be scared the American people will put their ass out on the unemployment line for supporting anymore job killing, tax hiking, deficit increasing bills against the will of the people.  If they are smart, they will kill the health care, but then they are Democrats, so the smart thing is out of discussion...
