In case you haven’t heard……..Ted Kennedy is dead‏

August 31st, 2009 . by joel

Yes, Ted Kennedy was the “Liberal Lion” of the Senate.  He was also a menace to America, and quite frankly, a really bad guy.  But you won’t hear any of that from the state run mainstream media that’s essentially 24/7 in love with this man.  The adulation being bestowed is nothing but beyond contempt.  Go figure.
 
Does it matter that none of the coverage discusses Mary Jo and the fact that she was alive for possibly up to 4 hours, trapped in an air pocket, while Kennedy tried, for 10 hours, to figure out how to save his own political hide and enlisting his friends to lie for him?  That car could have been pulled from the water within 30 minutes, even in 1969 America, had Kennedy sought help instantly rather than immediately planning a cover-up of his act.  He actually made a conscious decision to let the poor woman die.  Only a liberal would ignore that kind of disgusting and extreme abuse of another human being.
 
You similarly don’t hear anything about how Kennedy was in direct and proactive contact with the highest levels of Soviet leadership in an effort to find ways to undermine President Ronald Reagan’s agenda leading up to the 1984 election.  He actually was aiding the Soviets, our enemy.  There’s a word used to describe people who do that, no?  Think about that for a moment.  Only a liberal would ignore that fact.
 
I suppose there are many who would define Kennedy’s legislative history as admirable and even brilliant, but that assumes his efforts to throw the doors open to illegal immigration and chain migration, attempting to destroy any potential for education vouchers and charter schools and blind support for teacher’s unions, his disgusting destruction of Robert Bork and the beginning of politics by personal destruction and on and on, are worthy of praise.
 
Kennedy was a menace to America.

Choosing Party Over Country…..Obama and Holder vs. the CIA‏

August 25th, 2009 . by joel

Dick Cheney’s statement following the release of CIA interrogation documents:

 The documents released Monday clearly demonstrate that the individuals subjected to Enhanced Interrogation Techniques provided the bulk of intelligence we gained about al Qaeda. This intelligence saved lives and prevented terrorist attacks. These detainees also, according to the documents, played a role in nearly every capture of al Qaeda members and associates since 2002.  The activities of the CIA in carrying out the policies of the Bush Administration were directly responsible for defeating all efforts by al Qaeda to launch further mass casualty attacks against the United States. The people involved deserve our gratitude. They do not deserve to be the targets of political investigations or prosecutions.  President Obama’s decision to allow the Justice Department to investigate and possibly prosecute CIA personnel, and his decision to remove authority for interrogation from the CIA to the White House, serves as a reminder, if any were needed, of why so many Americans have doubts about this Administration’s ability to be responsible for our nation’s security.
 

The decision of Barack Obama to go after the CIA operatives that helped to defeat Al Qaida and their planned attacks speaks volumes about the direction our country is taking and the insidious characters we have running the defense and security of the United States.  Only in this country, at this specific time, would it be conceivable that terrorists and mass murderers are characterized as ”victims” and the people guarding our security are characterized as “villains”.  Is that not wrong?  What are we doing to ourselves and to our warriors?
 
When the history of the demise of our country is written by future historians, the consensus will be that the United States committed suicide.

House Democrats Try Thuggery on Health Insurers…..the shape of things to come?‏

August 24th, 2009 . by joel

Isn’t this one of the things a tyranny is known for, intimidating those whom the powerful want to control?  Here the Democrats send letters to health insurance CEOs demanding information about CEO compensation, conferences, travel, entertainment and all kinds of other operating expenses that’s essentially not only none of their business but interferes with the operation of free markets and private enterprise.  Once again the Constitution is trampled.
 
Is this what we can expect from this President and this Congress, a liberal/Democrat Congress I might add?  Isn’t this upsetting you?  Is this the kind of change you wanted?  Isn’t this tyranny come alive?  What I don’t understand is why we’re not raging in the streets.
 
Am I wrong?  Tell me I’m wrong.
 
By the way, you’ll note from the “blogspot” link below that the health care industry and hospitals report overall yearly profit of only 3%, one of the lowest of any industry in the United States.  
 
Have we lost our minds to allow this disgusting and dangerous display in which we are witnessing our country changing into something quite alien, socialist and downright evil.
 
The following quote by Thomas Jefferson says it all:
“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”

Trumpeting Racism in America – the Media as “unAmerican‏” as it gets

August 21st, 2009 . by joel

There are 2 short video clips here, each one only about 90 seconds long.  They demonstrate the media is a “5th-Column” in this country and MSNBC in particular and specifically is a menace to America.
 
Those that watch MSNBC should understand this broadcaster represents journalistic excrement.

Obama, ObamaCare, Democrats………and by all means possible‏

August 21st, 2009 . by joel

“……Obama, of course, wanted health-care “reform” done — all 1,000-plus pages of it — before the summer recess. In essence, Democrats want to repeal individual liberty; move one-sixth of the private sector into the same government-controlled model that has produced bankruptcy in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid; add additional trillions to the already exploded national debt; and they want to do it all right now — no discovery, no settlement negotiations, no five-week trial, no delays.”
 
The Obama plan will completely and fundamentally change the United States from the country most of us know and love to a socialist country somewhere politically and culturally between France and East Germany circa 1957.
 
If you’re not scared, or at least worried, by this health care insurance reform sham, what would it take to get your attention?  
 
Here’s something to ponder:  If Obama is right, the Declaration of Independence is wrong; if Obama is right, the Constitution of the United States is wrong. 
 
This is essentially a zero-sum game.  What do you think of that?  How much is your liberty worth?
