MASK SLIPS: DEMOCRAT ACTIVIST REVEALS GOAL IS SOCIALISM

2009-07-10T21:53:00.007-04:00

ROBERT CREAMER - (HUBBY OF REP SCHAKOWSKY , WHOSE MASK SLIPPED A FEW MONTHS AGOI WHEN SHE ADMITTED THAT OBAMACARE WAS A TROJAN HORSE FOR SINGLE-PAYER) - AT HUFFPO:

To succeed, we need to remember seven key rules:

1). The critical battles being fought in 2009 are not about "policies" -- they are about the distribution of wealth and power.

When we talk about putting an end to exploding health care costs for families, the money we save will come out of someone's pockets. In the case of health care, those pockets belong mainly to the insurance and pharmaceutical companies. In the case of energy, it's the oil companies. When it comes to re-regulating Wall Street the oxen being gored belong to the big Wall Street banks.

SO.... IF YOUR PENSION FUND OR IRA OR 401K IS IN THE STOCK MARKET THEN YOUR ARE THE ENEMY!

AND THEY WANNA TAKE YOUR MONEY AND GIVE IT SOMEONE ELSE.

THAT'S REDISTRIBUTION AND THAT'S SOCIALISM AND THAT'S UNAMERICAN.

AND THAT'S WHAT OBAMA WANTS.

AND THAT'S WHAT KRUGMAN WANTS - THOUGH HE'LL ONLY ADMIT IT TO OTHER LEFTISTS.

AND EZRA KLEIN.

AND THE GUY WHO FIGGERED OUT THIS STEALTH STRATEGY JACOB HACKER.

ISN'T IT FASCINATING AND REVEALING THAT THEY ALL LIE ABOUT OBAMACARE WHEN THEY TALK TO US, BUT TELL THE TRUTH WHEN THEY THEY THINK THEY'RE AMONG COMRADES?

LIKE OBAMA, SAYING ONE THING TO RICH LEFTISTS IN SF AND ANOTHER TO REGULAR FOLKS IN SCRANTON.

BITTER FOLKS WHO CLING TO GOD AND GUNS.

FOLKS: YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FREAKIN' EXCUSES FOR BEING DUPED ANYMORE.

WAKE UP AND DISSENT ACCORDINGLY.

REALLY FOLKS:

THE FACT THAT OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES HAVE BEEN DISHONEST AND TWO-FACED ABOUT THIS -

SAYING ONE THING TO THEIR FELLOW LEFTISTS AND ANOTHER WHEN THEY THINK THE PUBLIC AT LARGE IS WATCHING -

SAYS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR MORALS, THEIR SCRUPLES AND THEIR GOALS:

THEY ARE LEFTIST LYING SCUM.

THEY WANT TO USE THE COERCIVE POWER OF THE STATE TO TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU'VE EARNED AND GIVE IT AWAY.

DON'T LET THEM.

GET AMMO AND VOTE GOP.

DEMOCRATS RETAKE NY STATE SENATE AND WHAT DO THEY DO - IMMEDIATELY? PASS A TAX INCREASE!

2009-07-10T18:45:00.002-04:00

THE DEMOCRATS RETOOK THE SENATE, ENDING THE STALEMATE.

AND THE FIRST THING THEY DID WAS RAISE TAXES.

WE'D BE BETTER OFF WITH NO GOVERNMENT THAN GOVERNMENT RUN THIS WAY BY THESE SCUMSUCKING TAX-RAISING CRONY-SPENDING PIECES OF POLITICAL CRAP.

THEW WHOLE DAMN LOT OF THEM SHOULD BE FIRED.

REALLY: IF NY'ERS WANT REAL CHANGE THEN THEY SHOULD ALL VOTE AGAINST THE INCUMBENTS.

EVERY DAMN ONE OF THEM.

JAILED JIHADIST DENIED REQUEST TO READ OBAMA'S MEMOIR'S DUE TO NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS

2009-07-10T07:49:00.002-04:00

MSNBC:

The federal government's most secure prison has determined that two books written by President Barack Obama contain material "potentially detrimental to national security" and rejected an inmate's request to read them.

Ahmed Omar Abu Ali is serving a 30-year sentence at the federal supermax prison in Florence, Colo., for joining al-Qaida and plotting to assassinate then-President George W. Bush. Last year, Abu Ali requested two books written by Obama: "Dreams from My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope."

But prison officials, citing guidance from the FBI, determined that passages in both books contain information that could damage national security.

THEY SHOULD LEND HIM A FEW BOOKS ON REAL AMERICANS LIKE WASHINGTON, LINCOLN AND REAGAN INSTEAD.

Americorps Stonewalls, Covers For the White House With a New Excuse For Firing Walpin

2009-07-09T22:18:00.001-04:00

Frank Trinity, general counsel of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the government agency that oversees AmeriCorps, refused to answer questions from congressional investigators about Walpin's firing and the White House's role in it, citing "White House 'prerogative,'" even though no such thing exists.

The White House and their DNC proxies are changing their story again, saying that they fired him because of gender and racial insensitivity in a parody newsletter produced by his office 13 months prior to the firing by someone other than Walpin.

Walpin's investigation led to clashes with the board over reducing Kevin Johnson's punishment for misusing Americorps money, which Trinity and other top Corporation managers supported.

Ex post facto firings are illegal, as Judge Nap stated.

This goes up to the highest levels. The Corporation for National and Community Service and their spawn, Americorps, are merely Obama's pawns.

Get ready for more czars who dictate and whose actions don't have to be legally justifiable.

CUZ... LIKE YA KNOW, THE FACT IS THAT CO2 IS A POOR CONDUCTOR AND EVEN THO' MAN-MADE ATMOSPHERIC CO2 HAS GONE UP STEADILY FOR 160 YEARS GLOBAL TEMPS HAVE NOT.

IN FACT NO YEAR SINCE 1999 HAS BEEN AS WARM AS 1999 AND THIS YEARS IS AS COOL AS 1979.

MORE PROOF FROM IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN AND DOVER THAT THE MSM IS BIASED IN FAVOR OF THE UNPRINCIPLED LEFT

2009-07-09T20:35:00.008-04:00

Iraq is having an upswing in serious terror attacks - in large measure because of the announced withdrawal of US troops.

But the attacks are not the center of graphic negative headlines or grisly lead stories on the evening or morning "news" shows.

WHY NOT? Well, an ultra- liberal is in the White House now and the MSM doesn't want to rain on his parade.

And US troops are serving courageously in combat in Afghanistan and many are being killed.

But we don't see their photos of their coffins returning to Dover - and we don't hear a clamor for these photos from the Left.

And we don't hear the Left demand that Obama attend their funnels, either.

WHAT DOES ALL THIS PROVE?

It proves that the Left - and the MSM they dominate - were totally full of crap when it comes to this stuff. That their attacks on Bush on these matters were totally unprincipled and purely partisan.

And that they care not one whit about Iraqis or even US troops dying on the front lines of WW4.

All the leftists want is "free" healthcare and a nannystate that'll provide them with an education and a pension - and which lets them behave like libertines.

And a government which shackles industry, the free market and people who are willing to take risks with their own capital.

Though not as violent - yet - these leftists are as big a threat to the Free World as the islamo-jihadists.

Via Cap & Trade and income tax surcharges to pay for national healthcare, and huge and thoroughly corrupt federal boondoggles - (whether they're called stimulus or earmarks or whatever) - they will bring the USA down as surely as a massive coordinated WMD attack.

And it will bring down our allies, too - if there are any left! (And there might not be: Obama has snubbed PM Brown and the QOE, and is screwing Israel and Honduras - and even the Iranian people who are fighting and dying to be free!)

And that makes Obama - as leader of the Left and POTUS - in effect the highest placed ENEMY AGENT since Al Hiss.

And the gravest threat to the West of all time.

OBAMA'S ULTRA-LIBERAL POLICIES ARE FAILING AND THE PEOPLE ARE NOTICING

2009-07-09T18:23:00.003-04:00

Merkel cut taxes and spending in Germany and got a big economic boost.

Obama raised taxes and spending - hasn't spent most it (and what he has spent has mostly gone to his political allies!) - and we're still declining.

There's a message in there.

I wish the lib's would learn it.

It appears as if the independents are learning it.

Justice Ginsburg Admits She Thought Roe Vs. Wade Was About Eugenics

2009-07-09T14:35:00.009-04:00

Sometimes you just gotta love your enemies, like, when they tell you the absolute truth. Thanks, Ruth Bader.

From WND:

In an astonishing admission, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she was under the impression that legalizing abortion with the 1973 Roe. v. Wade case would eliminate undesirable members of the populace, or as she put it "populations that we don't want to have too many of."

Her remarks, set to be published in the New York Times Magazine this Sunday but viewable online now, came in an in-depth interview with Emily Bazelon titled, "The Place of Women on the Court."

The 16-year veteran of the high court was asked if she were a lawyer again, what would she "want to accomplish as a future feminist legal agenda."

Ginsburg responded:

Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious. The states that had changed their abortion laws before Roe [to make abortion legal] are not going to change back. So we have a policy that affects only poor women, and it can never be otherwise, and I don't know why this hasn't been said more often.

Question: Are you talking about the distances women have to travel because in parts of the country, abortion is essentially unavailable, because there are so few doctors and clinics that do the procedure? And also, the lack of Medicaid for abortions for poor women?

Ginsburg: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae – in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of.

Think about that statement. Go ahead and try to figure out what she could have meant by it.

Anyway you slice it it is still among the most ugly, anti-human statements ever uttered by a major figure on the American political scene.

Porkulus: The 872 Counties that Supported Obama Received About $69/Person... Those That supported McCain ...About $34

The Porkulus giveth and the Porkulus taketh away. Who are you to say to the Porkulus, why have you made me thus?

EXCERPT:

The reports show the 872 counties that supported Obama received about $69 per person, on average. The 2,234 that supportedMcCain received about $34.

ALSO: THE IG FIRINGS WERE A RESULT OF OBAMA NEEDING TO KEEP HIS DISTRIBUTION OF THE PORK OUT OF THE SUNLIGHT.

Walpin Had the Goods on the Board That Fired him

Fox got the notes from the meeting.

Judge Nap's rundown of the illegality involved in the firing is pithy and spot-on.

This clip also contains the original Glenn Beck clip in which Walpin proved his mental competence.

This is big.

THE IMPENDING CAP & TRADE - WHICH WON'T HAVE ANY EFFECT ON GLOBAL CLIMATE.

NO SURPRISE HERE: LEFTISTS HAVE LONG HAVE BELIEVED THAT YOU CAN'T MAKE AN OMELET WITHOUT BREAKING EGGS - AND LYING APPARENTLY.

YOU SEE, WHEN THEY FEEL THEY'RE AMONG COMRADES, THE MASK SLIPS AND THE TRUTH IS CONFIRMED.

EPA ADMITS CAP & TRADE IS ALL TAX PAIN WITH NO CLIMATE GAIN

2009-07-08T23:07:00.002-04:00

VIA HOT AIR: USE THE LINK AND WATCH THE VIDEO; EXCERPT:

During a hearing today in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, EPA Administrator Jackson confirmed an EPA analysis showing that unilateral U.S. action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions would have no effect on climate. Moreover, when presented with an EPA chart depicting that outcome, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said he disagreed with EPA's analysis.
"I believe the central parts of the [EPA] chart are that U.S. action alone will not impact world CO2 levels," Administrator Jackson said.

Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) presented the chart to both Jackson and Secretary Chu, which shows that meaningful emissions reductions cannot occur without aggressive action by China, India, and other developing countries.

"I am encouraged that Administrator Jackson agrees that unilateral action by the U.S. will be all cost for no climate gain," Sen. Inhofe said.

"With China and India recently issuing statements of defiant opposition to mandatory emissions controls, acting alone through the job-killing Waxman-Markey bill would impose severe economic burdens on American consumers, businesses, and families, all without any impact on climate."

38,000 BRITS WAIT MORE THAN A YEAR FOR HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY - AND THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS!

THAT'S A FACT.

AND SADLY, IT'S ALSO THE GOOD NEWS.

THAT'S RIGHT: IT USED TO BE MUCH WORSE, BUT AFTER YEARS OF DILIGENCE AND SPENDING MORE MONEY FOR THE NHS, THINGS HAVE IMPROVED GREATLY. (OVER 100,000 BRITS USED TO WAIT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR!)

AND THIS IS IN THE COUNTRY WITH THE MOST EXPERIENCE RUNNING A NATIONAL HEALTHCARE RACKET THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!

AND EVERYONE IN BRITAIN SAYS THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO RUN IT ANYMORE AT THE CURRENT LEVELS WITHOUT CUTTING SERVICES OR RAISING TAXES AND FEES.

THEREFORE: IT'S INSANE FOR OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS TO TRY TO NATIONALIZE HEALTHCARE IN AMERICA - AND SINGLE-PAYER IS JUST THAT.

The following is an interview with Iranian filmmaker , which aired on Al-Arabiya TV on July 2, 2009:
To view the clip on MEMRI TV, visit http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/2173.htm.
"Ahmadinejad is a Terrorist - And He Does Not Represent the Iranian People, Who Hate Him"
Mohsen Makhmalbaf: "We call upon the world not to recognize Ahmadinejad's presidency and not to sign any agreements with him, because the Iranian people will subsequently reject these agreements.
"Along with Marjane Satrapi, who is also a filmmaker, I went to the European parliament and asked them to do the same. I have been invited to go to the European parliament next week, in order to explain the current situation in Iran.
"We demand to be allowed to demonstrate in Iran, and we demand that the elections be held again, under the auspices of the U.N.
"I reiterate: Ahmadinejad is a terrorist, and he does not represent the Iranian people, who hate him. The whole world hates him, along with the nuclear bomb issue, through which he seeks popularity among the Iranian public.
"I declare today that if the world does not help the popular revolution against Ahmadinejad in Iran, you will be forced to accept his conditions tomorrow. Unfortunately, it will be too late."

"How Can the World Expect Us to Abandon This Freedom-Seeking People to Ahmadinejad and His Leader - Who Are Just Like Bin Laden and Mullah Omar?

The interview aired on Arab tv. The Arabs are more supportive of the rebellion in Iran than Obama.

OBAMA'S SUPPORT FOR THE IRANIAN REGIME AND ZELAYA SICKEN ME.

"I Want To Express My Grave Concerns About The Administration's Response"

2009-07-08T18:59:00.003-04:00

I'm with Senator DeMint when he expresses "grave" concerns about our current Presidential Administration.

In this video, Senator DeMint reads into the Congressional record the step by step events that took place which led the Honduran military to depose President Zelaya.

The one thing I had wondered about was whether the Honduran Supreme Court and Congress had overstepped their power in their hurry to get Zelaya out of office, because of the threat he posed as the result of his using a mob to break into a military installation. In other words, I was concerned that they had skipped the Impeachment process, in their haste to get rid of what they saw as a potentially violent threat to the Constitutional processes of the government.

It turns out, however, that even before Zelaya had resorted to such "mob rule" methods, he was in violation of Article 238 in the Honduran Constitution which states that, "Any President who even proposes an extension of his tenure in office shall immediately cease performing the functions of his post."

In other words, the only thing to wonder about with regard to the Honduran situation is, why did it take so long for the Judiciary and the Legislative branches to order Zelaya removed from office.

You have to watch this video. It is a devastating denunciation of President Barack Obama.

In the end you will be left knowing that the Honduran government did the right thing,

and,

you will also be left podering one ominous (grave?) question,

Is it, in fact, true that Barack Obama is attempting to help Zelaya perform a coup against the Honduran Constitution?
