General Inspects Terrorist Hoax

The terrorists, knowing an air strike was imminent, invited local residents to “take the fuel” in a tanker that had been wrecked. They even sacrificed a few of their own people. When the air strike came, they immediately screamed “foul” because many local residents, as well as a few of their own people were killed. Now we’ve got an American general “inspecting” the site. Under Obama, America will probably be blamed for every civilian death (especially in the liberal media and by Obama himself), even though the terrorists set the whole thing up. (Yahoo News/AP)

Questions About That Reporter Rescue

They say they “had it under control.” That the reporter and his people would soon be released with no ransom being paid. But then, what was the purpose of the kidnapping? Kidnaps are “big business” in Afghanistan. Would “negotiating” with the kidnappers do more harm than good by convincing them they can gain by it without consequences? The news only talks about ONE terrorist being killed in the rescue, while at least TWO “innocent persons” were killed. So how many terrorists escaped? (Yahoo News/Time)

China's Propaganda Victory

The communist China flag will fly at the White House on Sept.20. Apparently they conned Obama’s administration into it because our relations with communist China are “so good.” By whose definition? Sheesh! What the hell are they smoking? Would we have ever allowed the Soviet flag to fly at the White House? How stupid ARE these people? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, since Obama appointed an ADMITTED communist to be his "Green Czar." (China Daily)

Taking Over the Internet

One of Obama’s chief enemies is the Internet (except when HE'S using it) because he can’t “shut us up.” So now he wants to be able to take over the Internet at will. Of course, he’s got a “good excuse,” since “a good excuse is better than none.” “A Senate bill lets the president 'declare a cybersecurity emergency’ relating to ‘nongovernmental’ computer networks and do what's needed to respond to the threat. Didn't they just collect our e-mail addresses?” Notice that all it will take is for the PRESIDENT to “declare” a “cybersecurity emergency.” He will be in COMPLETE CONTROL, as all “wannabe dictators” want to be. Be careful, folks. He's doing it a little bit at a time, just like Hitler did. Don't disregard this just because I mentioned Hitler. I only do so because of the similarity in process. You'd BETTER "pay attention." (IBD Editorials)

Stossel Destroys Socialized Medicine

I DON’T KNOW HOW John Stossel is able to remain on ABC. He blows liberal ideas out of the water on a regular basis, as he does here in this special that DESTROYS Obama’s health care swindle. First, he shows how socialized medicine in Canada and Britain destroys innovation. Profit EQUALS innovation. ANIMALS can get CAT scans in one day. Humans can’t. People with dangerous maladies requiring IMMEDIATE attention have to wait as much as 23 hours to be seen. Others wait as long as SIX MONTHS! Obama says people who say he’s after a “single-payer plan” are lying. Only problem is, HE is lying, and Stossel shows a video of him SAYING that’s what he wants and that he has to do it "slowly" so people won't notice. He shows famous people and heads of state who have come here for treatment. This Stossel special should be “required viewing” for anybody who thinks socialized medicine is okay. (Stossel on 20-20)

Bit His Finger Off

An Obama union thug at a California meeting “targeted” the oldest man around and got “in his face,” about an inch away, demanding to know what he thought about the “Obamacare” swindle (my word). When he said he didn’t like it, the guy BIT HIS FINGER OFF. )Of course, this old man "clocked him," which probably scared this huge, burly union thug to death. A bystander found it and took it to the hospital to which they’d taken the old man so they could reattach it (if possible). When he went back, the union thug was still there. But the cops weren’t interested. This was told, on the air, on the Rush Limbaugh program on Friday, September 3, 2009. The liberal news media is saying the old man struck the first blow before the union thug bit his finger off and spit it out. Maybe so. But if I had been him, I would have kicked him in the crotch if he had been in my face like that. I may be an old man, but I still wouldn't take that. (Associated Press)

Cash for Clunkers

It’s a “rousing success” according to Obama. Of course, when you offer to give people money to do something they were ready to do anyway, and they actually DO it, it makes you wonder. They were surprised when so many people lined up around the block with their hands out (which just shows the incompetence of those running the “program”). The first $1 billion lasted only a week. Then they authorized another $2 billion and it lasted another week (or maybe two weeks, I don’t know). Now they’re going to do the same thing with appliances. How stupid ARE these people? (Just common sense)

Do What I Say...

not what I do. Apparently that’s what Muslims want. “In recent years, Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh was killed by a Muslim angered by his movie about the mistreatment of Muslim women...Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders was placed under 24-hour guard after releasing a film Muslims viewed as critical of Islam...And 12 cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed were published in a Danish newspaper, triggering massive protests in Muslim countries. Now Dutch prosecutors have turned the tables and said they would charge an Arab cultural group under hate speech laws for publishing a cartoon suggesting that the Holocaust, in which 6 million Jews were exterminated, is a fabrication. The cartoon appeared on the Web site of the Dutch arm of the Arab European League. It shows two presumably Jewish men standing near a pile of skeletons with a sign that says "Auswitch" — an obvious reference to the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz. One man pokes a bone with a stick and says, ‘I don't think they're Jews.’ The other man replies, ‘We have to get to the 6 million somehow.’ The public prosecutor's office in the Dutch city Utrecht said the cartoon insults Jews as a group and is therefore an illegal form of discrimination, the Jerusalem Post reported.” The Muslims really shriek when people make jokes about THEM, but they think they can do the same about Jews with impunity.

China to "Cut" Use of Executed Prisoner's Organs

Seems to me they ought to stop it altogether. I’ve been writing about their use of them for years and they have constantly denied it. Now, they not only ADMIT it, but “say” they’re going to “reduce it.” They’ve relied on prisoner’s organs for so long, they even located “organ centers” close to prisons to reduce the possibility of an organ “spoiling.” People wonder why they kill more prisoners in a MONTH than we do in a YEAR. That’s so they’ll always have a plentiful supply for transplant organs for their high-ranking politicians. You think that’s wrong? Look at the figures. (Yahoo News/AP)

Misplaced Priorities

Obama is releasing Gitmo murderers while talking about “investigating” their interrogators. Why the hell is he, and his gang, so worried about our treatment of people who just want to kill us? People who BEHEAD our people when they capture (kidnap) them? What planet has he been living on? Are they afraid they will one day be subjected to the same after we realize just what and who they are? Not a chance (damn it). They ARE, at least, CITIZENS of this country (Obama possibly excepted) and DO have “Miranda rights.” Foreign nationals who just want to kill our people don’t. And should NOT. (Just common sense)

Education Boss Says, "Silly"

The head of the federal Department of Education has dismissed Americans who don’t want Obama to propagandize their children as “silly” and he doesn’t have time to worry about “silly things.” What arrogance! People not wanting a politician to propagandize their children are NOT “silly,” as he will learn in the future when he loses his highly-paid job because he has no respect for the people he’s supposed to “serve,” not “boss.” Gawd, these people are STUPID! (Just common sense)

Reappointing Bernanke

Obana has reappointed Ben Bernanke to the chairmanship of the Federal Reserve for another term. He praised him for his patience and determination, and most of all, for his loyalty. Which means, of course, his willingness to go along with Obama’s fanciful schemes, even though they are contrary to anything but “Keynesian” economics, which has been long discredited. Bernanke is obviously more willing to lie about economics than anybody else, and it’s more important to him to keep his job than to promote HONEST economics. Good economists think he is a “sniveling fool,” and they’re right. But he’s a sniveling fool with a lot of power. (Just common sense)

ShoutingThem Down

Yes, conservatives shout at those “town hall” meetings. Mostly to be heard over the shouting by those congresspeople who are being asked REAL questions, rather than those “wishy-washy” questions the liberal media asks them. Democrat congressman Barney Frank, the architect of the “economic slowdown,” is worse than the rest. He’s always got his mouth open. Sometimes for purposes other than shouting, however. And these people call the Americans who show up there an “angry mob.” The “angry mobs” that DO show up are Obama’s union thugs who came there to intimidate those against Obama’s socialized medicine swindle. One of them actually bit off the finger of an old man who was no danger to him. (Just common sense)

Common Sense

Is a common term we all understand, but which many ignore because they just don’t pay attention to politics and thus do not know what’s going on in the world, and how it will affect them. Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet that sparked the American Revolution. Glenn Beck has written an up-to-date book of the same name, with the purpose of sparking people today into realizing what liberals are doing to us, and how to stop them. I once wrote a pamphlet called, “Common Sense for the 21st Century,” which is included as a chapter in my first book, “What’s Wrong IN America,” where I covered much of the same material. You can get either or both books from Amazon.

There's A Good Reason

Obama is blaming the Republicans for the fact that his socialized medicine swindle is in trouble. He says it’s “that ol’ bugaboo and boogieman,” the Republican Party, who want to kill it, just like they killed Clinton’s swindle. In one way he’s right. The Republicans, and EVERYBODY “outside the beltway” don’t want ANY PART of what he’s trying to stuff down our throats, just as they didn’t want Clinton’s swindle. Many in his own party don’t want it. America simply doesn’t WANT socialized medicine. He says the “public option” only “levels the playing field” and gives us another option but it does not. It cannot “level the playing field when it “stacks the deck” in favor of the government’s “option” by pitting private insurance companies, which MUST make a profit to survive, against the government “option,” which DOES NOT. Why don’t people REALIZE this? This country is BROKE. How does he expect to PAY for his grandiose schemes? He can’t. That’s the mostly ignored factor that makes everything else a moot point. He has ALREADY promised more than there is money in the WORLD to pay for. There is NO WAY he can tax us enough to get enough money out of us to do it. So why is he doing it? To gain more POWER over us, that’s why. That’s the simplest reason of all. (Just common sense)

"Crying Wolf"

Obama and his liberal friends “cry wolf” all the time so we’ll agree to the most outrageous things to allow him to “solve” all our problems. Unfortunately, politicians have been doing it ever since I can remember, and before. But so far, they haven’t “solved” a single problem. So why do we (not me) keep on believing them and ceding so many of our rights and our money to them? (Just common sense)

We Don't Always Lose

One Father in Missouri that the Missouri VOCAL (Victims of Child Protection Laws) organization worked with finally got to see his son after SEVEN YEARS “in the system.” A baby sitter falsely accused this father of sexually abusing his then 4-year-old child. But the child (whose “coaching” apparently didn’t “take,”) said nothing of the sort ever happened. CPS persisted. The charges were eventually dropped, but that meant nothing to the “child protectors,” who viewed him as guilty even though he was acquitted. CPS kept the son, and his behavior kept getting worse until he was finally imprisoned in “Boy’s Town,” where the father is now able to visit him. This resulted in the boy’s behavior improving. The “child protectors” did irreparable damage to this boy but will never admit it, although they are now talking about letting him go home with his father. (This story came from VOCAL of Missouri)

Kennedy Wanted to Designate His Successor

Teddy Kennedy is dead. Good riddance. Before he died, he asked the governor of Massachusetts to have the law changed to allow the governor to APPOINT his successor when he dies (he did) rather than the current method (made that way when a Republican was governor so he couldn’t appoint a Republican). This way, Kennedy can “designate” the person he wants to replace him and the Democrat governor will no doubt go along with his “suggestion” (something they didn't want to allow a Republican governor to do). He wants to make sure his “safe seat” remains “safe” in the hands of Democrats. That way he can continue to influence state and national politics even after he is dead. What chutzpa this jerk has! Too bad something like that didn't help his pregnant girlfriend when he swam off and left her to die. How this man managed to stay in office and influence national politics for so many years after this murder should be beyond me, but it isn't. He's a DEMOCRAT and they can get away with ANYTHING with minimal inconvenience. (Just common sense)

Government-Mandated "Insurance Mess"

They talk about the “health insurance mess” and the “high medical costs” as the “reason” for government intervention in both. What they DON’T tell you is that ALL those things are government CREATED. The high medical costs are because of the government-mandated paperwork that takes up so much of SOMEBODY’S (sometimes the doctor’s) time and all the “rules and regulations” in the insurance industry doing the same. Does anybody (outside of liberal politicians) think more government intervention will make it any better? Notwithstanding the government doesn’t have any money left for ANYTHING and continues to print “legal” counterfeit money. I, and many others keep saying these things over and over, but nobody seems to care. If somebody doesn’t do SOMETHING about this, Obama’s swindle will be a reality and we won’t be able to stop it. (Just common sense)

Computer Died

If you're a regular reader you've probably wondered why there has been no update lately. That's because my computer died and an effort to put the contents of my old hard disc failed and the new computer died, too. It is now undergoing a "heart transplant." (or better should be called a "brain transplant." I hope to get it up and working today, but failing that, soon after.
