The Emerging Dictator, Part I

 
Obama is moving very fast to accomplish what he wants to accomplish:  his dictatorship of America. 
 
1.  Is it any coincidence that in January, a couple of weeks before the man who said he was planning on being around for the next "8 to 10 years" was inaugurated, that a democrat congressman from New York introduced legislation to repeal the 22nd Amendment? 
 
The dems in congress are every bit as hungry for power as Obama and wouldn't mind in the least if those pesky little things known as elections could be done away with. 
 
Given the current majorities the dems have in both houses (a so-called supermajority in the senate now that Al Franken (D-SNL) was declared the winner in Minnesota), don't think for one second that such a measure couldn't pass if they saw in it an opportunity for their own lifetime place in the new scheme of things. 
 
2.  With the help of ACORN and such secretaries of state as helped Franken win, with funding from George Soros, of course, such a measue could be passed by the requisite number of states in short order.  From there, it won't be long until our elections are like those in Iraq when Saddam was alive.  I always found it nothing short of amazing that Saddam was always re-elected with 100% of the vote. 
 
3.  While all that is taking place, Obama has been working overtime to destroy the economy, aided and abetted at all times by his minions in congress.  Nationalization of banks, nationalization of the auto industry, the coming nationalization of health care, cap and trade, etc., etc., etc.   
 
4.  When will the round up of our guns begin?  Now that the White House has seized control of the census, I'm fully expecting a question about how many guns I have.  Those who answer truthfully can expect a visit from ACORN or the Civilian National Security Force, perhaps in the dead of night. 
 
5.  Speaking of Obama's Civilian National Security Force, he had better get it up and running soon.  All of his despotic plans depend on it.  That's where Zelaya (former president of Honduras) slipped up.  He had nothing in place to counteract the military.  Perhaps Obama's plan is that continued economic deterioration will start to cause riots, which will create the need for a strong law-and-order presence on our streets, what with the National Guard being tied down in Afghanistan and Iraq.  Who could argue against a little more peace and quiet in our neighborhoods? 
 
Right now, We the People are being run over roughshod by the very people we elected to look out for us, people who are now only in it for themselves.  Our will - and our guns - are all that stand between us and the failure of the experiment known as the United States of America.  We have plenty of the latter.  Do we have enough of the former?

Yea, Right

 
Monica Conyers, member of the Detroit City Council and wife of Congressman John Conyers (D-MI), has pleaded guilty to bribery charges.  It is reported that she took thousands of dollars in bribe money, as well as some $40,000 more in jewelry.  She's facing prison time, although I doubt that she'll ever see the inside of a prison except as a guest.  All those involved are careful to say that Congressman Conyers knew absolutely nothing about this.
 
Really?  
 
John: "Hey Monica, where's all this extra money coming from?  Hey, nice ring".
 
Monica:  "I've been working overtime at the City Council". 
 
Knew nothing my Aunt Fannie!

Coming Into Focus

 
So, now we learn why Obama stepped in so quickly in Honduras.  It seems the elected president decided that he liked it there and never wanted to leave.  He defied the law and began taking steps to ensure his reign would not be interrupted by such pesky little things like elections.  He was not only removed from office, he was removed from the country. 
 
Obama's actions - with regard to Iran and Honduras - are now seen to be completely consistent. 
 
The "election" in Iran was about leaving a theocratic dictatorship in power.  Therefore, no need to intervene. 
 
The events in Honduras were about removing a would-be dictator from power. Therefore, every need to intervene. 
 
You see, Obama would one day like to join the ranks of the dictators he so admires.  Unless, of course, you think there is some other reason that the very month he was sworn into office, legislation was introduced to repeal the 22nd Amendment  Unless, of course, you think there is some other reason he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, kissed Hugo Chavez, and welcomed Fidel Castro into the Organization of American States. 
 
Birds of a feather flock together.

What A Difference A Country Makes

 
When the people of Iran didn't like how their recent election turned out, they protested.  Despite the fact that the government was forcibly silencing dissent, it was not until the streets were running red with the blood of those either gunned down or hacked to death that America's fearless leader ventured any kind of reaction.  I believe he said that he was not going to comment because "we respect Iranian sovereignty". 
 
Compare that to what he is saying with regard to events in Honduras, which were just a short 48 hours ago.  BO said that the ouster of Honduran leader Manuel Zelaya was not a "legal" coup.  (I believe "legal" coups are called elections, but I digress.)  But, he wasn't finished.  He went on to say that while President Zelaya is the democratically-elected president, the US currently had no plans to demand that he be restored to office. 
 
Really?  America has the right to "demand" that another sovereign nation put someone in office?  Didn't hear that in regard to Iran. 
 
Hillary Clinton added her voice to the mix by saying, "Our immediate priority is to restore full democratic and constitutional order in that country." 
 
Really?  America has the right to say what kind of government another sovereign nation can have?  Didn't hear that in regard to Iran. 
 
Iran had a phony election, and Honduras had a coup.  Why was it hands off for the former, but full speed ahead for the latter? 
 
Somebody's playing favorites.  The question is, Why?

Look at the Numbers

 
The final vote on the very real legislation to "fix" a very phony problem was 219-212.  What made up the margin of victory?  Republicans, 8 of them to be exact. But for these turncoats, climate change legislation would have failed.
 
Without exception, these RINOs come from blue states:
 
Mary Bono Mack, California
Mike Castle, Delaware
Mark Kirk, Illinois
Leonard Lance, Frank LoBiondo, and Chris Smith, New Jersey
John McHugh, New York
Dave Reichert, Washington 
 
Once again, they have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.  Once again, they have shown why they're known as the Stupid Party.  Once again, they have failed this country.

The God Complex

 
Friday showed us that Obama's not the only one in DC who has an elevated opinion of himself.  It was on that date that 219 of our elected officials declared themselves equal to God and, therefore, totally capable of controlling the climate of this planet.  If we legislate it, it will happen.

Of course, the American Clean Energy  and Security Act is about nothing but power and control and greed and . . . stupidity.  Countries that bought into the Kyoto Protocol have discovered that being green is doing nothing but depleting their exchequers.  A recent report from Spain indicates that for every 1 green job being created, 2.2 regular jobs are being lost.  And, those newly-created jobs are only temporary in nature.  Meanwhile, they're doing nothing about controlling their gaseous emissions, much like Congress.  In other words, they're bankrupting themselves for no reason.  I have read where some countries who bought into this hoax are either rethinking or suspending their programs. 

There are those who say that global warming is a religion.  It's easy to see that when you see its purveyors tout it.  One pea brain was almost shouting hallelujah as he talked about the glories of this Act.  I should probably do some research to see how many of these witless wonders drive hybrids or have solar/wind/geothermal power at their homes. 

Republicans tried to introduce amendments to call a halt to things if:  (1)  gas rose to $5 a gallon, and the dimocrats said NO; (2)  electricity prices doubled, and the dimocrats said NO; (3)  unemployment reached 15%, and the dimocrats said NO.  In other words, they don't care what happens as long as their utopian dreams are enacted.

Here is the Hall of Shame: 

Abercrombie - Ackerman - Adler (NJ) - Andrews - Baca - Baird - Baldwin - Bean - Becerra - Berkley - Berman - Bishop (GA) - Bishop (NY) - Blumenauer - Boccieri - Bono-Mack - Boswell - Boucher - Boyd - Brady (PA) - Braley (IA) - Brown - Butterfield - Capps - Capuano - Cardoza - Carnahan - Carson (IN) - Castle - Castor (FL) - Chandler - Clarke - Clay - Cleaver - Clyburn - Cohen - Connolly (VA) - Conyers - Cooper - Courtney - Crowley - Cuellar - Cummings - Davis (CA) - Davis (IL) - DeGette - Delahunt - DeLauro - Dix* - Dingell - Doggett - Doyle - Driehaus - Edwards (MD) - Ellison - Engel - Eshoo - Etheridge - Farr - Fattah - Filner - Frank (MA) - Fudge - Giffords - Gonzalez - Gordon (TN) - Grayson - Green, Al - Green, Gene - Grijalva - Gutierrez - Hall (NY) - Halvorson - Hare - Harman - Henrich - Higgins - Hill - Himes - Hinchey - Hinojosa - Hirono - Hodes - Holt - Honda - Hoyer - Inslee - Israel - Jackson (IL) - Jackson-Lee - Johnson (GA) - Johnson, E.B. - Kagen - Kanjorski - Kaptur - Kennedy - Kildee - Kilpatrick (MI) - Kilroy - Kind - Kirk - Klein (FL) - Kosmas - Kratovil - Lance - Langevin - Larsen (WA) - Larson (CT) - Lee (CA) - Levin - Lewis (GA) - Lipinski - LoBiondo - Loebsack - Lofgren - Lowey - Lujan - Lynch - Maffei - Maloney - Markey (CO) - Markey (MA) - Matsui - McCarthy (NY) - McCollum - McDermott - McGovern - McHugh - McMahon - McNerney - Meek (FL) - Meeks (NY) - Michaud - Miller (NC) - Miller, George - Moore (KS) - Moore (WI) - Moran (VA) - Murphy (CT) - Murphy (NY) Murphy, Patrick - Murtha - Nadler (NY) - Napolitano - Neal (MA) - Oberstar - Obey - Olver - Pallone - Pascrell - Pastor (AZ) - Payne - Pelosi - Perlmutter - Perriello - Peters - Peterson - Pingree (ME) - Polis (CO) - Price (NC) - Quigley - Rangel - Reichert - Reyes - Richardson - Rothman (NJ) - Roybal-Allard - Ruppersberger - Rush - Ryan (OH) - Sanchez, Linda - Sanchez, Loretta - Sarbanes - Schakowsky - Schauer - Schiff - Schrader - Schwartz - Scott (GA) - Scott (VA) - Serrano - Sestak - Shea-Porter - Sherman - Shuler - Sires - Skelton - Slaughter - Smith (NJ) - Smith (WA) - Snyder - Space - Speier - Spratt - Stupak - Sutton - Tauscher - Teague - Thompson (CA) - Thompson (MS) - Tierney - Titus - Tonko - Towns - Tsongas - Van Hollen - Velazquez - Walz - Waserman-Schultz - Waters - Watson - Watt - Waxman - Weiner - Welch - Wexler - Woolsey - Wu - Yarmuth 

So, while America adds yet another layer of taxes onto an already overburdened populace, China and India  - nuclear powers both - will continue their pollution unabated and grow stronger economically.  While America pretends that it is leading the world on this issue, other nations will continue to come to their senses and abandon the false religion of global warming.  While America pretends that it can do something about the entire global climate, the rest of the world will show it that it can't.  While America sinks into third-world status, these false gods will say, "Just give it some more time". 

If you see the name of your elected official on this list, remember that come election 2010.

Losers of the Week

 
Mark Sanford (R-SC) for cheating on his wife.  For flying off to be with his girlfriend in Argentina rather than being with his kids on Father's Day.  For not resigning.

Three cheers to his wife for refusing to stand by his side when he made his obligatory, tearful apology.  Honesty and fidelity are core values.  Anyone who will cheat on and lie to the one person he/she has sworn to love and cherish above all else will not hesitate to cheat on and lie to me.  Take a hike, Mr. Sanford.

Barney Frank (D-MA) for demanding that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loosen credit standards for those buying condos.  It was Mr. Frank who brought about so much of today's economic woes because of stupidity just like this.  Now, he's at it again.
 
Anthony Weiner (D-NY) for saying that those of us who don't want to be taxed into oblivion to fix the non-existent problem of global warming should not be outraged at what is going on in Iran, because we're the ones who want to continue the policies that are paying for them. 
 
What a despicable little toad! 
 
It is the policies of the left that have filled the coffers of the mid-east to overflowing.  Their absolute refusal to allow America to tap its own resources is directly responsible for what is happening in Iran today.  The blood of the innocents is on the heads of Mr. Weiner and those like him.   
 
The House of Representatives for passing the largest tax increase in the history of mankind, all in the name of fixing something that ain't broke. 

The inmates truly are in charge of the asylum.

The Bloom is Off the Rose

 
Obama's primetime special regarding socializing health care was a bust.  It had the fewest viewers in the 10 p.m. hour, coming after the debut of the new NBC show "The Philanthropist" and after a repeat of the CBS show "CSI:  NY".  It even tied some 8 p.m. comedy repeats as the lowest-rated program on a major broadcast network (i.e., not cable). 
 
What's this?  The American public wasn't front row center for The One?  Could we possibly have Obama fatigue? 
 
Of course, if we had tuned in, we would have been treated to 45 minutes of vague responses, at least according to buinessandmedia.org.  When it took Obama over four and a half minutes to answer one question, Charles Gibson was moved to request that he keep his response to the next question shorter. 
 
This is what happens when Obama flies solo.  Although the guests were specially chosen - no opposing views allowed - the questions weren't, apparently, which means that the ever-present teleprompters couldn't save the day.   
 
Remember when Ronald Reagan was derided as just some actor.  Those comments would be more appropriate to what we have today in Barack Obama, who can only "be" presidential when he is reading what someone else wrote.  Without this prompting, he is revealed for what he is:  a poorly trained understudy not up to the role.

Why Is This Surprising?

In Iran, it was the 'Day of the Axes'

Rick Moran
No. Commentary. Necessary.

From Steve Schippert at Threats Watch:


An Iranian blogger (whose URL I will not publish) live blogging from Baharestan Square in central Tehran today captures but brief glimpses of the unimaginable horror that took place today. Bus loads of protesters were stopped and unloaded from their buses by "black-clad police" and literally herded. When the massing was sufficient, as the barely controllably distraught Tehran caller to CNN described first hand, hundreds of the regime's Basij thugs poured out of an adjoining mosque and commenced a massacre with axes, clubs, guns and gas.

From the live blogger's eyewitness account:
More than 10.000 Bassij Militias get position in Central Tehran, including Baharestan Sq. Army Helicopters flying over Baharestan and Vali Asr Sq.  The streets, squares and around BAHARESTAN (Approx. South-eastern of Tehran) is swarming with military forces, civilian forces, the security motorists.
The crowd have moved to the south of baharestan, the situation is bad, the shooting has started. In Baharestan Sq. in the Police shooting, A girl is shot and the police is not allowing to let them help. In Baharestan we saw militia with axe chopping people like meat - blood everywhere - like butcher.

This is the Iranian regime, wading into its own unarmed people and axing them to death, bludgeoning women (seen as the greatest threat to the regime) and throwing them to their deaths from pedestrian bridges. The same Iranian regime whose embassy officials are invited to American embassies around the world to celebrate on July 4th, of all things, a successful revolution. 

Why is this a surprise to anyone?  It has been demonstrated over and over and over again that islamic nations are anything but peaceful.  Brutal dictators, which are rife in islamic nations, will do anything to remain in power.  Human life means nothing to these people.  Those currently doing the butchering aren't doing it for any reason other than they like it. 

Our Coward-in-Chief has said, "We respect the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran".  He should have added, "but, America will always be on the side of freedom and democracy".  By the way, where is the UN in all of this? 

Iran needs a successful Operation Valkyrie.

Maybe Americans Are Finally Wising Up

 
According to the latest Gallup poll, Obama's approval ratings are going down, while his disapproval ratings are going up. 

I suppose that will be Bush's fault, too.

That's Outrageous!

 
A job application for the City of Bozeman asks all applicants:  "Please list any and all current personal or business web sites, web pages or memberships on any internet-based chat rooms, social clubs or forums, to include, but not limited to:  Facebook, Google, Yahoo, YouTube.com, MySpace, etc.". 
 
As if that wasn't going way too far already, the City is now asking applicants to provide it with their user names and passwords.  
 
The Bozeman City Attorney is now looking into changing the policy so that the City could view an applicant's social networking sites without asking for login information, saying that one option would be to list the City as a "friend" on such sites as Facebook. 
 
You have so got to be kidding me.  The big Lie the City is peddling is that this information would only be used to verify application information - sure it would - and there is no penalty for not providing this information - sure there's not. 
 
My gosh.  Is there no limit to what the State thinks it can do?  Perhaps the City should place cameras and listening devices in their employees' homes just so they can keep an eye on things. 
 
Is this America or Amerika?

Loser of the Week

 
ABC for giving Obama free airtime to run his primetime special on how he plans to socialize health care in America.  The All Barack Channel is not going to give time to a group touting a free-market plan that offered to buy the airtime, and it is not going to give time for a Republican rebuttal.  In short, this is a one-way street.  This is indoctrination. 
 
ABC has said that it will pick the questioners and the questions.  In light of the fact that ABC is refusing to allow any time for opposing views, it is highly unlikely that it will present the balance it claims it is going to.
 
ABC should enjoy this while it lasts.  Absent certain events, there is going to come a time when Obama will simply demand that all the networks, radio stations, and newspapers carry his viewpoint, and his viewpoint alone.  There will be no dissent, Obama's Civilian National Security Force will see to that.

Why?

 
Let me begin by reminding everyone that North Korea is a nuclear nightmare because of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, who thought it was a grand idea to give North Korea everything it needed to become one.  These simpletons thought that it would be good of us to help North Korea with its energy problems because, of course, it wouldn't lie to us, would it?  Hey, isn't Iran saying the same thing?

Now comes word that North Korea intends to launch a missile in the direction of Hawaii some time around the 4th of July.  Could that be because it believes that that is where The One was born?  Or is it following in the footsteps of Japan, whose bombing of Pearl Harbor brought America into WW II? 

In either event, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has deployed anti-missle defenses around Hawaii, including a ground-based mobile missile system and radar system. 

OMG!  Could this be the anti-missile system that's part of Ronald Reagan's star wars program that the dimocrats loathe?  Could this be the anti-missile system that Obama has promised to de-fund because it is worthless? 

What a difference a threat from a madman makes, eh.

Oh Really

 
As you have probably heard by now, ABC - The All Barack Channel - is going to air a one-hour program from the White House next week on the upcoming plans to socialize health care.  And don't think for one minute that a single-payer system isn't in the works.  In fact, in his recent speech, Obama said that there were some countries where a single-payer system worked quite well.  Of course, this Freudian slip was subsequently expunged by the dutiful MSM, who hasn't yet lost its enchantment with The One. 
 
Quite a furor has arisen over the fact that no ABC is not currently scheduling time for any kind of rebuttal.  Why is that, do you suppose?  Conservatives for Patients Rights, which advocates for a free-market solution, submitted an ad to ABC and is willing to pay for the air time.  ABC rejected that ad. 
 
Why? 
 
Because according to Emily Lenzner, spokesperson for ABC News, "The ABC Television network has a long-standing policy that we do not accept advocacy advertising.  It's just something that has been in place forever."  Is that right. 
 
Then what's with all those campaign commercials we see every two years?  Are those not advocacy ads?

Quotes I Like

 
With regard to the events in Iran:  ". . . Obama's timidity is shameful.  One of the central arguments for electing him president was that he would restore America's 'moral authority,' supposedly squandered by George W. Bush.  But of what use is moral authority to a nation led by a man who is either too indifferent or too frightened to say a word on behalf of what is right." 

          James Taranto, Best of the Web Today 

"Grievances are like flowers - if you water them, they will grow". 

          Phyllis Schlafly 

"If it is alright to discriminate today against individuals who have done you no harm, then why was it wrong to discriminate against you in the past?" 

          Thomas Sowell (national treasure)
