Barack Obama Was Right . . .

Posted by Roxanna M. on Friday, June 12, 2009 1:04:49 PM
 
when he said that America is no longer a Christian nation.  America may have been founded on Judeo-Christian values, but we ceased to be a Christian nation way back in the 70's when five black-robed monsters declared that killing babies was a constitutional "right". 
 
America will save the whales.  The dolphins.  The rain forest.  The ozone layer.  Terrorists.  America will pretty much save anything except for its babies, which are its future. 
 
The current occupant of the White House campaigned saying that he would sign the Freedom of Choice Act first thing.  This would make abortion the law of the land in all 50 (57 if you're Obama) states.  Abortion at any time for any reason for any female of any age.  No more parental or judicial consent for minors.  And with the revocation of the conscience clause, every single OB/GYN would be forced to perform the butchery that is partial-birth abortion. 
 
Since the latest polls indicate that for the first time in years those claiming to be pro-life outnumber those claiming to be pro-choice, Obama has broken his campaign promise and shelved the Freedom of Choice Act.  For now. 
 
In the past couple of weeks, we witnessed the murder of one of America's foremost baby killers, Dr. George Tiller of Kansas.  While most of us will decry his violent death, especially in the house of the Lord, a lot of us don't really care that he's gone.  The fact that his family will be shutting down his practice forever is all to the good.  The fact that he has just begun his long, warm eternity is another plus. 
 
But the fact that this country is treating his murder as though it were a state assassination - while at the same time not saying much of anything about the soldier who was murdered by a muslim who isn't the least bit sorry - speaks volumes about who we are and what we have become.  The fact that Dr. Tiller could believe that he was a Christian, despite the fact that he killed some 60,000 babies, many by partial-birth abortion, says even more. 
 
There are those who will disagree with this.  "I'm a good Christian", they will say.  Unfortunately, the inescapable fact is that this "Christian" nation has put people in office who believe that killing babies at any time for any reason is absolutely imperative.  The man now in the White House thought it was the first thing that should be done.  The first thing.
 
As long as this country keeps electing such people, we have no right to call ourselves a Christian nation. 
 
Perhaps if this nation would again bless God, maybe God would again bless America.

The (New) Battle Hymn of the Republic

Posted by Roxanna M. on Thursday, June 11, 2009 12:04:28 PM
 
Mine eyes have seen the fumblings of the party of the left.
When it comes to brains and wisdom, they are utterly bereft.
And their wasting of our money is just nothing short of theft,
but who can stop them now?
 
Mercy, mercy they're disgraceful.
Mercy, mercy they're disgraceful.
Mercy, mercy they're disgraceful,
but who can stop them now?
 
If their lips are moving, you can bet, they're lying through their teeth.
And if you scratch the surface, you will find the rot beneath.
Empty promises and hot air are all that they will bequeath.
Will no one stop them now?
 
Mercy, mercy they're disgraceful.
Mercy, mercy they're disgraceful.
Mercy, mercy they're disgraceful.
Will no one stop them now?
 
It is time for We the People to rise up and make our stand.
It is time to tell those in control that they are out of hand.
We must raise a hue and cry that will be heard throughout the land.
We want our country back!
 
Glory, glory we can do it.
Glory, glory we can do it.
Glory, glory we can do it.
We want our country back!

A Tale of Two Presidents

Posted by Roxanna M. on Thursday, June 11, 2009 10:06:58 AM

       John F. Kennedy 
 
"I'm sorry". 
       Barack H. Obama

More Hypocrisy From The Left

Posted by Roxanna M. on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 10:40:48 AM
 
An article at politico.com says that Obama eats his vegetables and exercises every day - and really wishes that we would all do the same.  Obama wants a healthier America?  Really?  The man smokes.  Much like it did with JFK and his women, the press covers this up. 

Well, if BO really wants America to be healthier, he should start at home:

Stuck on Stupid

Posted by Roxanna M. on Tuesday, June 09, 2009 3:40:30 PM
 
Stupidity has often been defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.  During the years of the feckless, reckless Bill Clinton, America was attacked again and again.  As was to be expected from an administration of lawyers, the response was always to put the bad guys on trial.  That would show them. 

The most important job of the President of the United States is to keep us safe.  Bill Clinton's dereliction of duty in this regard culminated in the attacks of 9/11.  That showed what the terrorists thought of our justice system. 

Now, the current administration is going down the same path.  One of the detainees from Gitmo - Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian national - is facing 286 separate counts stemming from his alleged role as a bomb builder in the August 7, 1998, bombing of the embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, in which 224 people - 12 of which were Americans - were killed. 

This is what the witless wonder in charge of the Justice Department had to say:  "The Justice Department has a long history of securely detaining and successfully prosecuting terror suspects through the criminal justice system, and we will bring that experience to bear in seeking justice in this case." 

Certain rules of discovery apply in criminal proceedings.  We have no way of knowing what information is going to be released to Mr. Ghailani and his attorney.  And, it is important to remember that the attorney for another tried and convicted terrorist passed on such information to her client's associates.  There is absolutely no way to prevent this from happening again and again and again. 

Terrorists all over the world are laughing at America.  They use our system against us.  They use our goodness against us.  And we just keep doing it over and over again.

Meanwhile somewhere in Washington, D.C., the Narcissist-in-Chief is dreamily mooning at the man in the mirror or reading his fawning press clippings, completely and utterly unaware that there is something beyond these two things.

How Do You Spell Hypocrite?

Posted by Roxanna M. on Monday, June 08, 2009 4:59:56 PM
 
Mega-gazillionaire Bill Gates was an Obama supporter.  He contributed to Obama's campaign and as recently as December 2008, stated that he would be open to a position in the Obama administration. 
 
Also in December 2008, he stated that:  "We can't flinch during this downturn.  If you look at the stock market, business activity or budget details, things are dark. But if you consider our capacities and our opportunities, our passion and vision, the outlook is bright".
 
Mr. Gates was also heard to say, "I think we should expand the number of people who are contributing to the economy and benefitting from it". 
 
So why, last week, was this champion of America stating that if BO's tax increases became reality, he would move portions of Microsoft overseas to lessen its tax burden? 
 
Now we're getting down to it, aren't we.  "We can't flinch from this downturn"?  Hey Bill, don't look now, but you just flinched.  You wanted the government to expand spending, and not just domestically.  But now here you are saying that you're not going to help pay for it.  Isn't that the way of it. 
 
By moving operations overseas, Mr. Gates will not only be reducing the number of people contributing to the economy, but increasing the number who won't be benefitting from it. 
 
How do you spell hypocrite?  I'm spelling it B-I-L-L-G-A-T-E-S.

And So It Begins

Posted by Roxanna M. on Saturday, June 06, 2009 2:52:01 PM
 
It was only a few posts ago that I stated that it was my belief that Obama plans on never leaving the White House.  There are those who will pooh-pooh me.  There are those who will call me a paranoid nut.  There are those who will believe me. 
 
On January 6, 2009, Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) introduced H.J. Res. 5, which would repeal the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution.  The 22nd Amendment is the one that limits the number of terms a president can serve.  So far, this bill has no co-sponsors and has been refered to the House Judiciary Committe and the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties. 
 
The bad news is, sitting on these committees are some of the most militant, unpleasant, obnoxious individuals to ever (dis)serve this country:  John Conyers (D-MI), Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-TX), Maxine Waters, (D-CA), Robert Wexler (D-FL), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), and Zoe Lofgren (D-CA). 
 
The good news is, congress alone cannot amend the constitution.  Any constitutional amendment must pass both houses by two-thirds and then be sent out to the states, where three-fourths of the states must agree to it.  
 
The bad news is, congress can change this from three-fourths of the states to conventions in three-fourths of the states.  Do you really think that the Left would hesitate a microsecond before packing the conventions with like-minded individuals?

The Sad State of What Used to be Journalism

Posted by Roxanna M. on Saturday, June 06, 2009 10:11:13 AM
 
Evan Thomas of Newsweek went on Chris "thrill up my leg" Matthews' show Hardball and said:  "I mean in a way Obama's standing above the country, above - above the world, he's sort of God. He's going to bring all different sides together". 
 
This comment came on the same day that E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post said that the media actually tilted to the right. 
 
Well, here's the truth for the two of them.  BO is not sort of God, he's not even close.  And, he's not going to bring all different sides together.  He is, in fact, more polarizing than either of his predecessors. 
 
As for Dionne, his column just makes him look sad, so sad.  The White House press corps rises when BO enters the room.  It did not do so for President Bush.  The MSM made no effort whatsoever to vet BO before wholeheartedly endorsing him for president, never once looking into his background.  He bows to the King of another county, a country that is a wholesale exporter of terrorism, and the MSM doesn't even bat an eye.  At a recent press event, BO joked that all of them voted for him.  Isn't it a fact that some 90% of the MSM claims to be liberal. 
 
So sad, so very sad.

STOP THE PRESSES!

Posted by Roxanna M. on Friday, June 05, 2009 2:27:01 PM
 
There are those of us who believe that the sun - that great big, gaseous ball of heat in the middle of our universe - is responsible for global warming and global cooling.  We have been called deniers, and there are certain people who think we should be put on trial - Nuremberg style - for our heretical beliefs. 
 
Now comes a study from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center which states that - based on climate data over the past century - solar variation has made a signficant impact on the Earth's climate.  OMG! 
 
When the sun is active, the earth warms.  When the sun is inactive, the earth cools.  Far from warming, our planet has actually been cooling since 1998, which corresponds to the fact that our sun has been extremely inactive during that period of time.   
 
Popular support for "fixing" global warming is waning.  More and more scientists are coming forward saying that anthropogenic global warming is a fraud.  This study shows that it is. 
 
Don't look, however, for those who intend to turn us into slaves to the state to stop their crusade.  They are going to pass legislation, and they are going to lie to us about the costs of that legislation.  The think that they can destroy the American economy without consequence to themselves. 
 
They're certainly not the least bit interested in the consequences to us.

He's Back

Posted by Roxanna M. on Tuesday, June 02, 2009 1:39:46 PM
 
Howard "The Scream" Dean resurfaced the other day, proving yet again that we dodged a bullet in 2004.  In response to the criticism surrounding the "Latina woman, white man" comment made by Sonia Sotomayor in 2001, the eminent Mr. Dean said that the comment had been taken out of context.  He then immediately conceded that he didn't know the proper context because he had not read the full speech.  Is he taking lessons from Biden? 
 
Let me make it easy for you, Mr. Dean.  As it regards the law, there is no proper context for such a statement.   I would hope that Senate Republicans would take her to task on this statement and make her explain herself, but I lost hope in Senate Republicans years ago.  
 
And furthermore, if a white man had said such a thing in reverse, his nomination would have been pulled immediately amid the hue and cry from the Left.  But what is it we hear from the Left?  Is that silence?

Internet Myths

Posted by Roxanna M. on Monday, June 01, 2009 1:20:31 PM
 
I have received, on many occasions, an e-mail about Nancy Pelosi wanting to enact a windfall tax on retirement benefits, among other things.  Thinking that this was outlandish even for Pelosi, I looked it up and found that it was an internet myth. 

I recently received an e-mail telling me that Obama wanted to have soldiers and officers pledge a loyalty oath directly to him rather than the Constitution.  I received another e-mail, with a forward of an article allegedly written in The National Law Journal by Michele Chang, which said that the oath would be to the office of the President, not Obama directly. 

Flabberghasted, I did some more checking.  The article is a fake.  Apparently, it was a satire.  The National Law Journal, whose name and reputation was hijacked, should seek recourse against whoever wrote this. 

What was so scary about both of these articles was that people believed them.  They believed that Nancy Pelosi wanted to put a 100% windfall profit tax on retirement income.  They believed that Obama wanted members of the military to swear their loyalty to him, not the country, not the Constitution.  They believed that both of these people were capable of doing what the articles claimed they were doing.

Rather than just dismissing this as the paranoid ramblings of the far right, politicians might just want to take them as the thoughts of the people out there and start paying attention. 

Former House Speaker Tom Foley and former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle were voted out of office by an unhappy electorate, while they held their positions.  "Current Senate leader Harry Reid plans on amassing a $25 million war chest, even though Republicans have yet to even field a candidate.  New Jersey Governor John Corzine is running behind both possible Republican challengers. 

We the People are an awesome force when we're aroused to action.  Hopefully, the tea parties were only the beginning of Americans taking back America from the elitist, condescending blowhards who are destroying it.

I Remember It Well

Posted by Roxanna M. on Sunday, May 31, 2009 10:01:46 AM
 
Remember when we were told - ad nauseam - that the whole world, the whole, wide world, wanted us to elect Barack Obama.  Nothing else would do.  We needed to elect this man because only with him could America's "standing" in the world be revived.  Only this man could bring international peace and understanding.  Unfortunately, 53% of American voters were stupid enough to do just that. 
 
So, how's the world reacting?  Haven't you noticed that BO hasn't gotten anywhere with the worlds' leaders, neither friend nor foe?  He has gone to Europe requesting any number of things and been turned down flat.  He has been friendly to Venezuelan strongman Hugh Chavez, only to get called names in return.  He spent an hour getting insulted by Daniel Ortega.  He has promised to re-open Cuba to America.  Seen any glowing comments from either of the Castros? 
 
He bowed low to the King of Saudi Arabia, and our gas prices have risen.  The little guy in Iran hasn't stopped his plans for a nuclear bomb and has, in fact, speeded them up.  Then, there's North Korea, which recently repudiated the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War, suddenly placing thousands of American soldiers on the front lines of a new war.  And, just in case you missed it, North Korea tested a nuclear bomb on the very day that we stop to remember our honored dead. 
 
So, it would seem, the whole world, the whole, wide world, is standing back laughing at us for being so stupid.  Do we really think that any of these people had our best interests in mind when they told us who to vote for?  They knew, even as we did not, that the man of Hope and Change and Yes We Can is nothing but a fancy suit and fancy words.  Everyone is just sitting back hoping that America will finally get its comeuppance.  Hoping that we arrogant Americans - we arrogant Americans who feed the world, support the world, defend the world - finally get taken down a peg or two. 
 
Before the whole, the whole, wide world, gets busy salivating over the prospect, it might want to take a moment to realize that if we fall, they fall.  Like it or not, America is the indispensable nation.  Once we're toppled, what country will be the next domino to fall?  And, when all the civilized nations of the world have fallen, what then?  
 
If the terrorists think that they can then establish their islamic caliphate around the world, they had better think again.  The nations that sponsor these gnats are completely and utterly dependent on western petrodollars.  Where will their money come from when the west no longer has any? 
 
Like it or not, every country on earth has a stake in ensuring that America succeeds.  And, like it or not, every country on earth had better start realizing it. 
 
Beginning with this one.

Losers of the Week

Posted by Roxanna M. on Saturday, May 30, 2009 5:12:17 PM
 
Charles Schumer (D-NY) for saying that Senate Republicans oppose Sonia Sotomayor "at their peril".  In other words, Republicans, lie down and roll over like good little doggies. 
 
The Global Humanitarian Forum for saying that climate change kills about 315,000 people a year through hunger, sickness, and weather disasters.  Apparently not once through all the long years people have been living on this planet have people died from hunger, sickness, or weather disasters.  It was not until global warming/climate change that this occurred. 
 
Barack Hussein Obama for providing the United Nations with the proposed text for a new global warming/climate change treaty that would require the United States to comply with stricter carbon emissions standards than most other countries in the world, including China, the number one polluter, AND make US taxpayers provide foreign aid to support efforts to control carbon emissions in developing countries. 
 
Apparently, the BO who did this is unacquainted with the BO who just said that we are out of money.  Americans had better get used to poverty because we're going to get a whole bunch of it.

Some Troubling Decisions

Posted by Roxanna M. on Friday, May 29, 2009 1:03:01 PM
 
We have now learned about two decisions issued by Sonia Sotomayor that are extremely troubling. 
 
In one, a high school girl took exception to the actions of a superintendent and other officials at her school and wrote something uncomplimentary about them on her blog.  She did nothing on the school campus.  After her blog appeared, the school disqualified her from running for school government.  The girl's mother brought suit saying that her daughter's right to free speech was violated.  Sitting on the panel hearing the mother's appeal, Sotomayor joined two other judges in saying that the girl's off-campus blog remarks created a "foreseeable risk of substantial disruption" at the school and ruled against her. 
 
In other words, the school was free to punish the girl on campus for what she did off campus, on her own time, on her own computer.  This is Big Brother writ large.  Schools, i.e., The State, have no business whatsoever punishing students on campus for what they say off campus.   
 
The second decision dealt with some white firemen who had passed a test to move up the ranks.  Since there wasn't a single black who passed the test, the city threw out the test and didn't promote anyone.  The white firemen sued for reverse discrimination.  Sotomayor wrote a one-paragraph, unpublished opinion dismissing the case.  It might have been lost but for the actions of a fellow judge, who said that such important constitutional questions should not be dismissed so lightly.  The case is currently before the US Supreme Court. 
 
Sotomayor's reasoning is ridiculous.  This punishes people for achieving, while at the same time encouraging others not to.  That is exactly backwards.  Did it ever occur to these judges that allowing the promotions might very well have encouraged those who didn't pass to try harder the next time. 
 
And there you have the Left's philosophy in a nutshell. Keep some people down, thereby creating a permanent underclass that is dependent on the government and, thus, always a vote for the Left.  That's real racism.
 
Barring something we don't know about yet, there is nothing stopping Sotomayor's confirmation.  The democrats can do whatever they want.  They have the votes.  Whatever Republicans do, it will be painted as racist and sexist. 
 
The party of no principles won't recognize principles when they seem them.
