A Memorial Day Message

 If we were to call the roll today it would rightly begin on March 5, 1770, with the name Crispus Attucks, and continue for just over 240 years.  Some of those listed are buried in places known,  some lost to never be found and some are Known but to God.  Today we honor all with a wave of the flag, a thought and maybe a silent tear.

There are those like Cpl. Clayton L. Lick, U.S. Army, who received a Silver Star from General John J. "Blackjack" Pershing for his bravery in "The Great War" and survived the war to return home but was wounded so badly that he never played professional baseball again.  And Major Anthony R. Bellamy who died on the field of battle in Vietnam.  And MGySgt. Ole R. Woods who survived WWII and Korea only to be killed when the jet he was testing blew up in the sky over southern Virginia in 1953.

There were those who wore the Blue and the Gray who fought at places with familiar names. They died in battle charging shoulder to shoulder with their brothers, against their brothers.  There were those who froze at Valley Forge yet trained and fought at Morristown under General Washington to run the British Army from the field for the first time.  There were those who helped protect the West and died at Little Big Horn, and those who Remembered the Alamo.

And there were those who fell in the heat of Iraq and the cold of Afghanistan who now sleep among other heroes from every war in gardens of stone from Arlington to Ft. Rosecrans.  The freedom that they cherished lives today because of their sacrifice in places far and near.  Let us not forget them even though we don't know their names.  They all have this in common:  None wanted to be a hero and all wanted to go home.  And when the time came they simply answered the call.

When you think about the sacrifices that were made, one day of remembrance is not too much to ask.

Thank you, my fellow veterans.  Tonight we'll raise a glass to those who didn't come home.  May they rest in peace.

Philadelphia Phillies Ace Roy Halladay Pitches Perfect Game

Sometimes we need a break from the steady commentary on politics and this is one of those times.  And you might say that the Memorial Day weekend was a perfect time for it to happen.

Pitching a perfect game is one of the most difficult efforts in all of sports which is why it's only been done 20 times.  And to think that it was the second time this month that we were able to see it done is quite amazing although, as the linked story will tell you, it was done twice in 5 days back in the 1880.

It was a remarkable performance by Roy Halladay who will certainly be in the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown as soon as he is eligible.

White House Sestak Story Doesn’t Pass The Smell Test

White House Sestak Story Doesn't Pass The Smell Test

"Doesn't pass the smell test" is an understatement. But what can you expect from a President that holds We the People, the Constitution and the laws of the United States in such low regard.  It seems to me that the smell emanating from the White House isn't fertilizer that was used on Michelle's fabled garden but can be traced directly to the Oval Office and Rahm Emanuel.

The Politicking Behind an Offer to a Specter Foe

"The politicking" according to the New York Times (favorite birdcage and kitty litter liner of thousands of pet owners) is more properly called The Chicago Way.  Congressman Sestak's brother was contacted before the announcement by the Obama Regime to ensure that their respective stories were coordinated; but it's hard to believe that it was little more than an offer that Congressman Sestak couldn't refuse.  Now the question in everyone's mind is what was this second offer that Sestak just can't refuse?

And as much discomfort as Obama and his Regime are feeling over the questions in this matter, Congressman Sestak is in an an even more untenable position.  He is either telling the truth or he is lying.  If he's telling the truth we could well be looking at a serious shake-up in the Regime in the coming months or even an impeachment proceeding once the question is answered: "What did the President know and when did he know it?"  If he's lying he will have to convince the people of Pennsylvania that they should elect him and send a known liar to the Senate.  (Something that has been done before, I assure you.)

Congressman Sestak faces another dilemma in this matter.  Most of his adult life was spent in the Navy and he retired as an Admiral which would seem to indicate that he was an honorable officer and a gentleman and therefore would not lie.  We know that the late John Murtha was very much able to overcome his professional military training as a Marine officer but the question remains: Did Congressman Sestak lie to bolster his campaign against Arlen Spector or will he lie with the aplomb of a seasoned politician to protect Obama and the Regime?  What will he do?

And then there's the question of whether or not we can believe what Bill Clinton is saying.  A known perjurer, would he lie?

I know what I would do and what I think about the others, but your guess is as good as mine when it comes to Sestak.

James Armistead, Hero of the American Revolution

In the revisionist history that has been put into place by progressives in education since the 1920's, we have been deprived of many of the heroes of American history.  Especially those "of color."  Today that revisionism is trumpeted by the Neo-Lib Democrats, the modern progressives, as proof of the slighting of minorities in America and why minorities cannot make it in America without the support of the Neo-Lib Democrat Party.

Check out the history for yourself.  James Armistead, also known as James Armistead Lafayette, was one of the Founders of America.  He served honorably on the staff of General Lafayette during the Revolutionary War as a spy who supplied the American Army with information on British movements.  General Lafayette held him in extremely high regard, as did George Washington, and his spying and work as a double-agent contributed directly to the final American victory.

John Finn, Medal of Honor Winner, Dies at 100

Lt. John William Finn, USN

Medal of Honor

His citation read: "For extraordinary heroism distinguished service, and devotion above and beyond the call of duty. During the first attack by Japanese airplanes on the Naval Air Station, Kaneohe Bay, on 7 December 1941, Lt. Finn promptly secured and manned a .50-caliber machinegun mounted on an instruction stand in a completely exposed section of the parking ramp, which was under heavy enemy machinegun strafing fire. Although painfully wounded many times, he continued to man this gun and to return the enemy's fire vigorously and with telling effect throughout the enemy strafing and bombing attacks and with complete disregard for his own personal safety. It was only by specific orders that he was persuaded to leave his post to seek medical attention. Following first aid treatment, although obviously suffering much pain and moving with great difficulty, he returned to the squadron area and actively supervised the rearming of returning planes. His extraordinary heroism and conduct in this action were in keeping with the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service."


His wife, Alice, preceded him in 1998.  His survivors include his son, Joseph.

White House Asked Bill Clinton to Urge Sestak to Drop Out of Senate Race

Is what he did a crime?  Well, I suppose that would depend on what the definition of "is" is.  Bill Clinton has the uncanny ability to peer out at the world from under whatever bus he happens to be under and with a quivering lip win absolution for his sins so we'll have to see what happens next.

But this time it isn't his sins but the sins of the man who threw him under the Obamalines Bus; and it's high time that a Special Counsel was appointed to investigate this issue.  The crime is a felony and offering an "unpaid" advisory position in the White House in exchange for not running against Arlen Spector in the Pennsylvania Democrat Primary is not really believable.  Being a Congressman is one thing and I suppose that being a Congressman who can, on rare occasion, attend a meeting at the White House as an advisor is a slight bump-up but being a Senator trumps both.  Six years vs. two and a club limited to just 100 rather than the huge herd in the House are significantly more enticing than the alleged offer.

What is hilarious about all this is that the fall guy for the greatest liar of the 21st century is one of the great liars of the 20th century.  I'm sure if she were alive today my mother would come out with the "birds of a feather" line and she would be correct.  Oh yes, she would be correct.

"He Was Supposed to Be Competent"

The linked commentary in the Wall Street Journal by Peggy Noonan reveals the depth of denial that was reached by the Neo-Lib Left Stream Media as they promoted the candidacy of Barack Obama as he ran for President of the United States.  Had they actually done their journalistic duty instead of succumbing to the thrill of tingles running up their legs, things might have been different with another left-wing ideologue, albeit one with more political savvy and understanding of how America works, as the president.  Instead they slavishly promoted a community organizer with no executive experience and the Man for All Time.  They ignored his associations with outright terrorists and haters of America.  They ignored his communist upbringing.  They could only see the halo around his head and completely overlooked the horns which were hidden in plain sight.  (No, I'm not saying he's a devil nor evil.  I'm sure he's a very good father.  It's an analogy, folks!)

But now they are starting to open their eyes.  The tingle is mostly gone and the truth is starting to shine through.  Funny thing about the reality of truth:  It always outlasts fantasy.

EDITORIAL: The U.N. gun grabber - Washington Times

EDITORIAL: The U.N. gun grabber - Washington Times

Everyone, and I mean everyone both left and right, knows that Barack Obama lied during the campaign. The Right side of the aisle points it out with great consistency and the Left side ignores the lies because while he is a liar, he is their liar.  He lied often and well and with the help of a worshipping Neo-Lib Left Stream Media was elected to the Presidency.  It wasn't a long shot win because of the press' demonization of President Bush and the Republicans for 8 solid years (some of which was well deserved by the Republicans who started to act like Democrats).  A Democrat was bound to be elected absent the resurrection of Ronald Reagan himself and despite the breath of fresh air that was Sarah Palin, John McCain, patriot though he is, was not Ronald Reagan.  Unfortunately we didn't get a Democrat in the John Kennedy sense of the party but a Neo-Lib Democrat:  One who melds the liberal-progressive-socialist-Marxist ideal into a cohesive plan of action and, public sentiment be damned, pushes it down the throats of We the People.

One of the Obama's lies that was repeated on more than one occasion–and even echoed by Joe "The-Village-Idiot" Biden–was the one where he said in clarion voice, "I won't be going after your shotgun or hunting rifle!"  Right.  And if you believe that I've got a bridge you can buy in Brooklyn that will go well with the oil-covered swampland you already own the Gulf Coast.  The U.N. treaty that is discussed in the linked editorial from the Washington Times is the tool that Obama and his regime will use in an attempt to disarm America.  That he would authorize moving forward on that treaty is proof of his lie about "your shotgun or hunting rifle."  He want's America disarmed because only then can his Socialist-Marxist dream be safe for Obama realizes that the primary difference between a free man and a slave is the right to bear arms and his intent is to make us all slaves to a central government.

The Endgame of Class Warfare

The Endgame of Class Warfare

I am of the firm belief that the job description of the President of the United States does not include a section allowing him to determine when someone has made enough money or who shall be allowed to make money or which company shall survive and which shall fail.  Of course that belief goes along with the government has no business determining my health care, telling me what type of car I should drive or telling me what to eat.

Obama believes that these are all things that the government should do to individuals and businesses in America and this is clearly because he believes in socialism and wants to "change" America from a Republic to a Socialist state.  Although he has a gift for oratory and has managed to fool people into voting for him once, the proof of his socialist beliefs are rooted in his past and shown his actions.  He espouses class warfare when he speaks because it is absolutely necessary in order that a Socialist-Marxist state successfully replace the Republic for it is through class warfare that people willingly surrender their own freedom–their own free will–so that their own class will be victorious.  By the time they realize that class warfare does not advance individuals to equality but lowers all to the same level it is too late. All except the ruling elite are on a perfectly level, proletariat plateau from which there is no ascent. The ruling elite are ensconced high above on an ivy league mountain top that is surrounded by impenetrable barriers defined by education and political purity, or, in other words, defined by class.  Class warfare is but a tool that can be used to steal freedom.  Those who preach it speak in favor of a slavery that is every bit as pernicious and abominable as that which required a ball and chain.

The Coming War on Bacon

The Coming War on Bacon

The nanny state is the result of the perverted, Neo-Lib socialist mindset in which personal responsibility is null and void and the collective is all that matters. It would seem to be logical that they would focus on things like marijuana, heroin and the prevention of AIDS but no, bacon is a problem that must be addressed. And salt, of course. We know how damaging that can be. And sugar! That should be rationed and taxed so that the masses don't eat too much.

If they outlaw bacon I can foresee a blackmarket rising. Instead of moonshiners it will be bacon smokers. Instead of baggies of green, leafy vegetable matter it will be paper wrapped packages of bacon strips. There will be street names for the illegal bacon, of course. I can imagine conversations like, "Hey! You know where I can score some Wild Piggie for tomorrow's breakfast?" And it will be Porkers instead of Pushers.

Obama to Seniors: 'Drop Dead'

As the debate was raging over Obamacare this blog among hundreds of others stated clearly that Obamacare would lead inexorably to the rationing of health care in America.  This was denied, of course, by the Neo-Lib political class supporters of Obamacare and despite the opposition of a majority of Americans, the Neo-Lib Democrats passed Obamacare and took turns bowing to themselves and applauding their ability to ignore We the People.

Now as details of the bill are confirmed by independent sources–remember Nancy Pelosi saying that they'd have to pass the bill so we can find out what was in it?–we find that rationing will definitely happen.  Although "death panels" may have been a bit harsh, that will be the practical effect of the administrative decisions made by insulated, unidentified bureaucrats who will decide on the level of care for those subject to Obamacare.  The very young, who cannot pay taxes, and the elderly whose high earning years are behind them are most at risk.  (I would suggest that the elderly are more at risk considering that the Federal Government will get 55% of their estate once the death tax is reinstated at the end of 2010 but that's another story.)

And if it weren't enough President Obama appoints Donald Berwick, another Harvard friend and a well-known advocate of health rationing, to head Medicaid.

U.S. police chiefs say Arizona immigration law will increase crime

This is typical propaganda rather than news.  When the Regime wants to ensure that the results of any consultation are what they want, they make sure to call in "experts" that represent reliably loyal Neo-Lib Democrat political entities.  Not one of the "Chiefs" is from a location that is Republican.  They all owe their jobs to Neo-Lib Democrats.  I don't believe they care at all what the truth is, they are going to say what Eric Holder wants said:  The Arizona law is bad, bad, bad and shame on that state for driving the criminals out of Arizona to our districts!

Americans Fleeing Border Invasion

Americans Fleeing Border Invasion

The illegal immigrant issue is not going to go away. It is a wound that we keep digging at so the scab can't even form. Our Federal Government has miserably failed We the People in one of its most important Constitutional charges: Keeping our borders secure and safe. The Bush Administration tried to address the situation through a proposal that was tantamount to amnesty but was hamstrung by an immediate outcry from We the People. The Obama Regime, which believes in open borders, has a proven disregard for the will of We the People and has shown complete disdain for the Federal responsibility of securing the nation's borders. The dispatch of 1,200 National Guard troops to the border by Obama is actually a politically motivated insult to all the border states. The number of National Guardsmen are too few in number to make a difference but you can bet that between now and November that number will be repeated many times as proof that the Regime is doing something.

Yes, they are doing something. Nothing is something when it comes to illegal immigration and that's what they want to do. The reasons for their actions are numerous but all point towards the creation of a permanent underclass in the United States that can be counted on to vote reliably "Democrat" as long as they are promised that nothing will be done to them.

Nothing is also what the Regime wants Arizona to do. As the Federal Government has abrogated its responsibility and has clearly no intention of dealing with the problem in a meaningful way, it wants Arizona to turn a blind eye to the illegal immigrant problem as well. Pay no attention to the fact that violence funded by the Mexican cartels that rule Mexico is spilling over the border. Pay no attention to the crime rate in Phoenix that makes it the kidnapping capital of the United States. And what ever you do, pay no attention to the community organizers registering voters from Latino neighborhoods as fast as they can and regardless of true citizenship.

It's time to take back America. It's time to tell people, like our elected representatives, that We the People are fed up and demand action. It's time to make this November count.

Illegals and the Election

Illegals and the Election

The linked article is an excellent analysis of the illegal alien situation and how Conservatives should go about fighting it in confrontations against Neo-Lib Democrats. It doesn't, however, go into the ultimate reason that the Neo-Lib Democrats not only tolerate illegal immigrants but welcome them with open arms.

Despite their current Madison Avenue polished image of being for minorities and minority rights, the Democrats have a history of supporting the enslavement of people. In the early years they enacted Jim Crow laws in the South and blocked passage of the Civil Rights Act under the Eisenhower Administration as well as attempting to block its passage again in 1964. We should never forget that it was Senator Harry Byrd (D-WV) who led the filibuster against the Civil Rights Act. Yes, the same Harry Byrd who is looked upon fondly by the Democrats today and who, before it became totally unacceptable, was proud of his membership in the Ku Klux Klan.

Of course the slavery that the Democrats supported was then based on race, something that is abhorrent to Conservatives and thinking people in the 21st Century thanks largely to the anti-slavery movement that started with the advent of the Republican Party in the mid-1800's. In the 20th Century as the Neo-Lib Democrats, then called "Progressives," took control of the party and began their drive to fundamentally change America from a Republic to a Socialist state, they knew that they would need a permanent underclass to support the Socialism they envisioned. As they looked around they settled again on race as an issue and began their make-over from a party that opposed integration to one that championed it because "if we don't, the blacks (you can actually insert any race here) won't be able to make it in America." It sounded so altruistic at the time that many, including myself, were actively supportive of the idea that in order to make things right for all, some must be given privileges and pathways that were necessarily denied to mainstream Americans because white people were the majority and therefore already had the opportunity.

As I look back I am saddened by how naive I was to believe that had to be done. True in the 1960's and 70's we looked on affirmative action as absolutely necessary to right the wrongs of decades of exclusion based on race. What we didn't foresee was the true aims of the liberal-progressive-socialist Democrats, now best described as Neo-Libs, who viewed the affirmative action programs not as temporary solutions to address the decades of continued racism after the end of the Civil War but as permanent programs. Programs that would emphasize, and continue to emphasize to minorities, that without the government and more specifically without the Neo-Lib Democrat Party, they would continue to fail because "the system" was inherently unfair and the unfair system could only be addressed by Democrats. Thus began the idea, the absolute belief, that their success in life depended on them voting as a solid block for whatever Democrat was running for office. It might be called a brilliant political move by some but only if the ultimate purpose was ignored. By making minorities dependent upon the Democrats and the government the Democrats were, in effect, creating a permanent underclass. Lip service was paid to their needs, class and race distinctions were exploited and welfare was increased all with the aim not of alleviating the plight of the minorities but of perpetuating the reliance of the minorities on the government and the party by making them comfortable in their poverty. Instead of encouraging blacks to integrate and advance themselves on their own individual capabilities they encouraged them to band together and support the black community. Instead of applauding assimilation they applauded separatism. As a result today we only have some integration rather than complete integration. We have courses in Black Studies that do not prepare students for assimilation as Americans but for separatism as Black-hyphen-Americans and instead of achieving Dr. King's dream of an age where people are judged on the content of their character we are still stuck on stupid and worrying about ethnicity.

Eventually, though, the Neo-Libs' worst fear was slowly but surely beginning to materialize and more and more unhyphenated Americans with black ancestry began to surface and be noticed. Despite an educational system in heavily minority areas that was substandard and sub-performing, children were being educated and were beginning to think for themselves. Even more frightening to the left is that these individuals, as they have grown and become successful, are serving as proof that black Americans do not need government help to succeed. They need only to rely on their natural ability and willingness to work. And while the numbers are small, the more unhyphenated Americans that escape from the system of government reliance and control, the more frantic the Neo-Libs are in their search for replacements for the government-dependent underclass that they must have in order for them to retain political power, expand government and move further towards pure socialism.

Illegal aliens, primarily from Mexico and Latin America are the perfect replacement. They are used to being part of an underclass and even though that's what they are trying to escape when they leave their homes to come north the fact that the underclass in America lives much better than they did down south encourages them to accept that position here. The Neo-Libs have, however, learned that they must maintain the status quo of the underclass while only giving them hope for the future for if they give too much, if they actually do something, the underclass depopulates as they become successful through the American Dream. This leads to promises of amnesty and eventual open borders. It leads to completely irrational and false rhetoric condemning Arizona's law in order to capture the support of the illegal aliens already in the United States. In other words, the Neo-Lib Democrat Party really has no intention of solving the illegal immigrant problem. Illegal immigrants maintain the needed underclass and all it takes to stir them up and support Democrats is the threat of an illegal immigration crackdown which the Neo-Libs will immediately oppose in solidarity. In reality what the Neo-Libs are doing is protecting the status quo of their economically enslaved underclass so that they may maintain their political base and political power.

Fortunately for America the issue is much more serious than mere illegal immigrants crossing the border and working in the United States. The issue that can and will be the downfall of the Neo-Lib Democrats strategy for a permanent underclass is terrorism. Have you notice how the Neo-Libs currently in control of the government absolutely avoid the use of the term “War on Terror?” Have you thought about why?

It is actually quite simple. If we are at war then our borders must be kept secure otherwise our enemies might come across them and do harm to America. Right? But if it isn’t a war, if it’s only a law enforcement issue, then open borders is still a possibility and illegal immigrants can be cast as a human rights problem rather than a threat to the security of the nation. Obviously the Neo-Libs would like nothing more than the Islamio-fascists to go away so they refuse to use the term, “Islamic terrorism” as if that will make it something that is not a problem. And they immediately portray every act of terrorism that happens in the US, from the murder at the Arkansas recruiting office, to Ft. Hood, to the Underwear Bomber to Times Square as the act of an individual. Then they hope that they’re right and they’ve been wrong each and every time.

It kind of makes you think, doesn't it? Why would they want to make people so comfortable in their poverty that they no longer possessed the initiative to take responsibility for themselves and work to succeed? If not to expand their political power then why? I'd be interested if someone has an answer to that question.

By the way, did you ever wonder why you have to show a picture ID to do everything but vote? And why Democrats always scream like stuck pigs when the issue of voter identification is brought up? Think about it.

Fighting a War without Bullets?

If true, this situation is what Catch 22 was all about. Imagine: You are in a war zone. You're getting combat pay. You're not allowed to load your weapon while on patrol.

Do you see anything wrong with that scenario? It speaks to two possible reasons: 1) The troops are too poorly trained to safely walk with a chambered round in their weapon; or, 2) the REMF's at "Higher" and in Washington are making a politically correct decision without regard for the lives of the people in the field.

If #1 is the reason you solve it with training.

If #2 is the reason you solve it in November by voting the idiots out of office.

It seems we saw this type of thinking before. During the Vietnam War LBJ was in such tight control of what was going on that the word was that Westmoreland had to ask for permission from the President before he could go to the latrine. LBJ was a Democrat.  Obama is a Democrat.

And when the gas and heating oil prices go up, so will the price of food in the supermarket and electricity you use in your house. Remember that in November.

EDITORIAL: Go back to Mexico - Washington Times

EDITORIAL: Go back to Mexico - Washington Times

More on Felipe Calderon, Presidente of Mexico, supporter of open-border Neo-Libs, friend of Obama the Prevaricator and a talented prevaricator in his own right. I've already blogged my opinion of this man and his inability to read maps and have even posted a very simple map for him to read.

Maybe we should begin enforcing the doctrine of reciprocity with the Mexicans. We will do exactly to a Mexican national what they do to a U.S. national for the same offense. Sounds like a great idea? It would be if we had the prison space because I am sure that the small-minded politicians south of the border would be unwilling to change their draconian laws.

No more police escorts for union thugs | Washington Examiner

No more police escorts for union thugs | Washington Examiner

This is an excellent editorial and presents an accurate picture of what happened. You know, just like you saw on the Left Stream Media's evening news. What? There wasn't anything on MessNBC? Or CBS? Or ABC? Or CNN? Really? My oh my! Can you imagine how this could have slipped under their vision and they just didn't see this incredibly stupid and egregious use of police power to threaten a private citizen? I am sure that they'll be on the story soon for I haven't seen such a misuse of police power since...well, since Bull Connor turned the fire hoses on peaceful civil rights demonstrators in Alabama back in 1963.

When I first heard of this I said to myself, "What were they (referring to the Metropolitan Police Department) thinking?" To this day no answer has been given. Nor can a satisfactory answer be given. Officers of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, DC, escorted bus loads of SEIU thugs to suburban Maryland where the thugs trampled on the property and privacy rights of a private citizen in support of the Obama Regime's war on banks and their own union's desire to restructure a loan from the bank where the private citizen worked. The citizen was not the corporate head of the bank. He was not a CEO or Chairman of the Board. He was a bank employee.  A mere lawyer working for the bank.  (Yes, I realize that him being a lawyer could be some sort of justification; but, hey, even lawyers have rights!)

The SEIU thugs must be very proud of themselves as they frightened a child in the residence so badly that he locked himself in the bathroom in fear. They weren't shy and happily posed for pictures because they know that the U.S. Department of Justice under Eric Holder will do nothing to either them or the union. They were able to violate a citizens rights with impunity because their protection reaches clear to the Oval Office.

I wonder if the Metropolitan Police Department will get the word?

Do you wonder when they will come to your door?

Is This Just a Nightmare, or Did It Really Happen?

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But, then, I repeat myself.

 -- Mark Twain

Is This Just a Nightmare, or Did It Really Happen?

To all who watched the debacle the message was clear: We hate the United States.

That's the only conclusion that can be drawn after seeing a standing ovation for a two-bit, tin-pot head of state who had just insulted and slammed one of the United States, Arizona, while standing before a joint session of Congress. The crass, ignorant and highly politicized ovation was clear evidence that the left side of the aisle has no respect for America or Americans. They are clearly uncomfortable with the United States being an independent nation and the leader of the free world. They would rather that we were like all the other near-do-well nations in the world with a socialist government system and a compliant underclass to serve the needs of the political, and need I say rich, ruling elite. They have ceased to honor our nation and the sacrifices of those who built it. Instead they honor only their party, the Democrat Party, and their regime, The Obama Regime. I have never seen a more insipid and dishonorable act in my entire life although they have existed in history. Benedict Arnold was bolder and more honorable in his treason than are those who stood and applauded Mexican Presidente Felipe Calderon. If politicians were capable of shame, I would shout it to their faces. But these people, these pretenders to honor, have no conscience and no shame. They only have ambition to power.

GOP Wins Special Election in Obama’s Hawaii

GOP Wins Special Election in Obama's Hawaii

The Democrat that won in Pennsylvania's 12th District did not run on President Obama's agenda. When you look at what he said in his speeches he sounded more like Rush Limbaugh–except where he promised to keep bringing home the pork, of course–than a 21st century Neo-Lib. That was not the case in Hawaii so the Republican won.

I'm sure that was not well received by the Regime.

Chuck Devore for Senate in California

Chuck Devore was brought to my attention by a trusted friend out in California. From what I have been able to gather he is a good conservative and would represent the State of California well if elected to the Senate but like all candidates he needs the help of We the People.

I recommend that you go to his website and check it out. It's at http://chuckdevore.com/n/.

And while your at it, check out fousesquawk. Gary and I go back a long way and as you'll see he's definitely not afraid to beard the lion. You'll be glad you did.

D.C. Metro Police Escorted SEIU Protesters to Bank Of America Executive’s Home

D.C. Metro Police Escorted SEIU Protesters to Bank Of America Executive’s Home

Question:  Is it District of Columbia or District of Colombia?

I also wonder if the political make-up of the Mayor's office and the City Council had anything at all to do with the use of the Metropolitan Police Department Officers and vehicles to escort the SEIU thugs over to Maryland? And does anyone beside me think that this smacks of collusion and corruption?  Shouldn't the duty of the police be to prevent the verbal assault of citizens on their own private property (or even on public property) by a large group of thugs?

I'm sure the Left Stream Media will be all over this now.  Won't they?

NPA-SEIU Terrorizes Child, Breaks Laws – What Did President Obama Know And When Did He Know It?

"Hey, you know you're saying some really harsh things here.  We'd never hurt kids and I would just hate the thought of something happening to your kids.  Know what I mean?"

NPA-SEIU Terrorizes Child, Breaks Laws – What Did President Obama Know And When Did He Know It

In another era the mob-style actions of the SEIU would be consistent with the actions of other Socialist agitators. The German Brownshirts come immediately to mind as they were used to intimidate political opponents of socialism through the same type of mob action. Their demonstrations and strong-arm tactics isolated opponents of the National Socialist Party from the rest of society but even more than that, they were used as a way to attack those who were targets of the Party, such as Jews. And the German people were afraid to speak out against the Brownshirts because they did not want to be targeted by them. History shows that things did not turn out well for the German people.

The connection of the White House with the SEIU, which goes back to the Presidential campaign and beyond, is both clear and ominous. In recent history there has not been a time when an American President was so comfortable with a group of supporters that acted in such a thuggish manner. To find examples of political leaders who were comfortable with supporters capable of this type of mob action one has to drop down several political levels and look at New York's Tammany Hall or Los Angeles way-back-when or Chicago. (Shocked? Maybe you thought that the Chicago Way they speak of was a style of food or a new position for the Kama Sutra?) But not only is Barack Obama clearly close to SEIU, he embraces them through Andy Stern and works to ensure their increased profitability by planning to have them represent Federal Government employees.

Now I'm sure that you're thinking 'Federal employees need union representation?' Federal employees, as you know, have codified regulations that give them more protection than any union employee in the country; and their pay and benefits are outstanding especially when you consider that the profitability of the "company" is never a consideration in negotiations. (And that's a good thing considering that the Federal Government has a track record of business failures that include the inability to turn a profit running a seized bar and whore house in Nevada.) The only party that really benefits from unionization of government employees is the union itself because if they become the union of, say TSA, they will have an immediate monthly profit from union dues subtracted from the employees pay and given directly to the union. The government's own laws and regulations provide excellent protections for the employees so the actual representation work by the union is totally minimal. Their major cost of the unionization will be the printing of additional union cards. I suppose that they'll consider doing the cards with embossed gold seals and edges to make the government union members feel good about being government union members.

So the Obama Regime has an active, aggressive group that can roll-out bus loads of tough, sign-carrying, uniformly dressed thugs on short notice to help vilify both opponents and targets of the Regime. In this case it was probably doubly sweet for SEIU. The Regime is making the banks a target so that they can increase their governmental control over the banks and SEIU gets to put pressure on a bank to which the union owes a large chunk of change by terrorizing the family of a bank employee. They are such brave, brave thugs, don't you think? Who knows, maybe Bank of America will cave and renegotiate the terms of the loan so that it's much more favorable to the union. That's what Al would like if he were in charge.

And we're waiting on the Left Stream Media to report on the violent actions of leftist demonstrators in this case.  I mean, they were all over the Tea Party when there was no actual violence so they should be headlining this type of action, right?  Don't hold your breath.

The reason for SEIU's attack on the home and family of a Bank of America employee is detailed in this story. This is something straight out of Al Capone's Chicago.

SEIU must feel that it can do anything it wants with Obama in the White House and Holder at Justice.  I mean, Capone only bought judges.  SEIU buys protection from Washington, DC.

President Felipe Calderon: Please, Please Watch This Video

Take a couple of minutes and watch this excellent video of Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) replying to Calderon the Hypocrite.  It is excellent!

Follow the link.

The Audacity of Hypocrisy

Presidente Felipe Calderon would do well remember that the liberals will not be in power forever and we Conservatives will long remember the insults he has hurled at our country.  I am sure that he was at least indirectly coached by the Obama Regime and given assurances that a verbal attack on the Arizona law would be well received.  He must have, for his highly hypocritical remarks followed the Arizona talking points of the Regime and its acolytes:  the Neo-Libs.  It is appalling that he is ignorant enough to believe, however, that like Mexico, in the United States the political class is perpetual or that the American people will meekly accept criticism from a Third World leader who is more concerned with protecting the status quo (i.e. ensuring the rich get richer and the poor stay that way) than with solving the problems of his own country.  Calderon has been described as "honest" in comparison to his predecessor, Vicente Fox, but that is arguable and I'm sure that his successor will be described as "honest" in comparison to Calderon.

There is, of course, a baser motive behind the his bald lie of a statement.  The remittances sent by both legal and illegal Mexicans back to Mexico are in the $22 Billion--yes that's with a "B"--a year range.  That means that the export of Mexican citizens to the United States is the second largest legal money earner for Mexico after their oil.  I stress legal because the illegal drug and human smuggling trades bring in even more money but, unlike remittances, that money is harder for the Mexican upper class to get control of an add to their own bank accounts.  And that it precisely the reason that Calderon is in power: to ensure that the upper class continues to get richer at the expense of the underclass.  (The underclass is a continual problem because they can't let the underclass become a middle class or they'd lose their primary source of maids, drivers and expendable pistoleros.)

Speaking of pistoleros, the crass appeal for American gun control to the Neo-Libs sitting in Congress brought an enthusiastic and obligatory standing ovation from the Democrats (it seemed to be so well-scripted that I wondered if all the Democrats met before hand and practiced) and was also from President Obama's political talking points.  We all know that Obama would like nothing better than to abrogate the 2nd Amendment and is continually trying to set up a way to do it without appearing to do so.  The truth of the matter is that the fully automatic weapons and assault weapons that are favored by the drug traffickers in Mexico don't come from the U.S.  They come from the Mexican Army and other sources in both Latin America and the Far East.  Calderon knows that but it's more of a "you scratch my back by condemning the gun trade and I'll scratch yours by condemning Arizona" from his friend Barack.  Besides, his inability to address the violence in Mexico is causing him internal headaches so it is good he can appear macho on Mexican TV by criticizing the gringo Norte Americanos in their own house.  

The Alamo, which led to the Battle of San Jacinto and settled the question of the Mexican control over Texas or any other part of the United States.  Do you remember this from your studies, Felipe?

Calderon would do well to clean up the mess in Mexico before criticizing the United States.  Unfortunately he still is unable to read the map properly--probably a result of the reconquista lessons that are taught in Mexican schools.  But for his edification I'll once again post a map for him to study.

Now please pay attention, Felipe.  Study the map below.  It is not difficult to understand and if you look at it long enough maybe you'll actually learn something.
