Obama Eyeing Internet ID for Americans

"I know who you are now and what you wrote.  Now I'm gonna show you how we take care of the enemy in Chicago."  

American's have long objected to a Federal Government-controlled centralized data base for firearms because of concerns that an overreaching politician in the not-necessarily-so-far-distant future would use it to confiscate the arms of private citizens in violation of the 2nd Amendment.  Now we have an overreaching politician who is moving to seize control of the internet through innocuous sounding programs like "Net Neutrality" and now "Internet ID."  It's all being proposed by his "Czars" of course and we can count on him to blandly assure us that he won't allow anyone to interfere with our right to communicate our political ideas via the internet.  He may even issue a nice sounding Executive Order forbidding the use of the information to identify his political opposition which he refers to as "the enemy."

We have to ask ourselves:  Are we willing to trust a man who has lied constantly since elected with our 1st Amendment rights?  Well, are we?

I think not.  We're not ready for a Statist Regime that controls every aspect of our lives and tells us what to think and eat.  It's not 1984...and never will be.

UN-believable: Because When You Think ‘Women’s Rights’ You Think ‘Iran’

This is unbelievable but par for the course for the U.N.  And clearly the Obama Regime was either asleep at the wheel or totally out of touch with reality as we–the United States–did not bother to object to Iran being given a seat on the on the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women.  This is a failure of the nth magnitude.

To put it in perspective for President Obama:  Imagine that your daughters are in an exclusive school in Washington, DC.  (Yes, I know that takes no imagination.)  Then imagine that they have openings for teaching positions that must be filled.  Now imagine what it would be like if they were to get their candidates for the positions from the National Registered Sex Offenders List.

Now do you see the problem?

Tobacco Tyrants Turn Attention To Salt - Investors.com

Tobacco Tyrants Turn Attention To Salt - Investors.com

It's the belief on the liberal-progressive-socialist left that they have the right–no, better make that the duty–to determine how everybody else should live. This is easy for them to justify in their own minds because they've already decided that the state is supreme over the individual. With this belief close to their hearts they have no compunction about telling their neighbors and other citizens how they should live their lives. These zealots know, in their own minds, that they know better and they don't hesitate to use every artifice at their disposal to enforce their will on others.

Is it tyranny? Absolutely. At least it is the beginning of a tyranny that our Forefathers would have rejected out of hand.  Unfortunately, with the current liberal-progressive-socialist Democrats in control of both houses of Congress, in concert with the Obama Regime's czars, we face a continuing battle for the right to determine our own fates.

Seattle cartoonist launches "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day"

I suppose that this should come under the topic "I will not submit" but that should be obvious.  The problem is not the Islamic religion as peacefully practiced; but, the 12th-century mentality demonstrated by some Islamic fundamentalists.  That they feel it is proper to threaten or even do physical harm on those who draw pictures of Mohammed while refusing to allow the freedom of worship in the Middle East is reason enough to participate in this this day supporting the 1st Amendment.  Despite the statement by Obama, we are not a Muslim nation and we will not be bound by the dictates of uneducated Muslim clerics who believe they have a duty to convert or kill all unbelievers or those who don't bow to, or become dhimmis, to Mohammed.  We owe the Koran no more preferential treatment than we owe the Bible or the Torah.  But unlike Saudi Arabi, where the Wahabi sect rules all religion, we allow all three in America and people are free to make their own choice as to which to follow.

Those who wish to worship Islam peacefully are welcome in America and we are bound to protect their right to worship as they please, but they will have to accept that we have a freedom of speech here that may sometimes offend some while pleasing others.  Christians are offended by "art" that has Christ on a Crucifix in a bottle of urine no less than Muslims are offended by a drawing of Mohammed.  The "sin" is on the creator and those who like that sort of thing;  but, both are allowable under our Constitution.

Have you got a problem with that?

Venezuelan judge is jailed after ruling angers President Hugo Chávez

Hugo Chavez acts more like an organized crime lord than the elected president of the erstwhile democracy in Venezuela.  His dictatorial actions are destroying a beautiful, resource-rich country that has long suffered from despot to despot with the politically favored getting richer and the politically disfavored going to jail.  In this case a judge became "disfavored" with a ruling that Chavez didn't like.

He will, of course, be deposed eventually.  But as Obama has shown little understanding of the need for a strong foreign policy, except as it impacts Israel, this Latin American pimp continues to sell his nation to Iran and Russia thus bringing further destabilization to the Western Southern Hemisphere.

Are Jewish Students Safe on California Campuses?

Are Jewish Students Safe on California Campuses?

More on the assault on traditional American values by the far, far left and the authors point out a policy change in the Department of Justice which apparently denies Jewish students the same legal protections as given to gays, lesbians, Muslims and Latinos. The head of the Office of Civil Rights is Russlynn Ali who, despite having an Islamic last name, appears to be strictly liberal-progressive-socialist as "NA" is listed as her Religion in the biography that I was able to find on-line. (Listing "NA" is an obligatory bow towards "Secularism" which, as we all know, is the religion of the liberal-progressive-socialist crowd that makes up the Obama Regime.)

But Ali's religion really does not matter as much as her commitment to the Civil Rights of all regardless of their skin color, religion or ethnic origin and it appears as if there is now an exception for Jews. Why? We all know that Islam openly sided with the National Socialist Party during WWII and participated in the slaughter of Jews but Ali appears to be a secularist despite the Islamic origins of her family name. So why are one of the most persecuted groups in the last 100 years being given the message that the Office of Civil Rights will not protect them in 2010? Don't they know that liberal Jews donated heavily to, and voted for, Obama? The answer to this question must be, of course, that the Obama Regime considers them to be useful idiots: Good for donations and fund raisers but, as evidenced by the OCR policy shift and the Regime's policy towards Israel, of no significant consequence after the election.

I am reminded of the poem attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) that expresses his feeling of the inactivity of German intellectuals following the National Socialist Party's rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets. I'm sure you've read or heard of it, if only in part.

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out. 

This is what is being accomplished by the Regime's constant demonization of the various sectors of America. Nancy Pelosi demonizes the Tea Party as "un-American." The Regime demonizes and then takes control of two of the three major U.S. car companies. Obama demonizes the health care industry then seizes control of 1/6th of the American economy setting-up a program to socialize medicine in the United States thus destroying the best health care system in the world. Obama is now demonizing Wall Street and, if he has his way, will seize control of the financial sector as well.

Have you ever wondered who will speak-up when they start demonizing you?

The tea partyers: It's about liberty - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

The arrogance of the left-wing liberal-progressive-socialist Democrats and their minions in the Left Stream Media when it comes to the Tea Party is unbelievable and demonstrates their utter lack of common sense and respect for our system of government. It's as if they've taken control and believe that they can now act with impunity.

November 2010 will show them just how mistaken they are. January 20, 2013, will mark change we can really believe in as that will be the last day of the Obama Regime.

ClimateGate Whitewash

ClimateGate Whitewash

I don't know if you caught the attempted "ambush interview" of AlGore, the Goricle, the High Priest of Global Warming, by a reporter from the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News, but it was excellent.  Gore refused to answer any questions, of course, and only kept saying, "I'm not doing an interview."  

It is clear that the Obama Regime and their liberal-progressive-socialist minions plan to continue the push for Cap & Trade.  They are, of course, looking for the proverbial straw to break the camel's back and Cap & Trade is their "straw."  Once they have engineered collapse of the current American economy, they plan to rebuild it on a Marxist-socialist foundation with a good bit of fascism thrown in for good measure.  I say this because they will obviously need the fascism to control We the People and prevent an outright rebellion.  This is what Obama meant when he said that there would be a "fundamental change" in America: The America that prided itself on individual freedom will disappear and be replaced by an America where the government controls all facets of the lives of the citizenry.  Redistribution of wealth will be the rule of the day following the precept of "...from each according to his ability, to each according to his need."  America will, at best, be a nation in the image of European socialist thought and, at worst, a nation in the image of Orwell's 1984 subject to the tyranny so eloquently described by Mark Levin in his book, Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto.

He will not succeed.

Union Memo Hints At N.J. Gov.'s Death

With all the hyperbole about the threats against liberal-progressive-socialist Democrats that allegedly spring from Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, here is a real one from the head of a teacher's union directed at a Republican Governor.

I'll make you two bets.  First, the Left Stream Media will, ho-hum, ignore this one as inconsequential.  Second, the head of the union is a Democrat.

Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II: Virginia rejects federal overreach of Obamacare | Washington Examiner

Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II: Virginia rejects federal overreach of Obamacare | Washington Examiner

Virginians are proud of the stance taken by Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli. This is what we want from our elected officials: True representation of the people's interests rather than use of special interests groups to further political goals. Obamacare is a case in point. Despite being opposed by an overwhelming majority of Americans, the liberal-progressive-socialist Democrats in a display of tyranny not seen since the Intolerable Acts of the British Crown, shoved it down We the People's throats in a rabid display of partisan politics and political chicanery. And they were strutting-proud of their accomplishment.

We intend to make them hand their heads in defeat come November.

Election Theft Underway in Wisconsin

Election Theft Underway in Wisconsin

The liberal-progressive-socialist Democrats have now completely shed their sheep's clothing to emerge as the wolf-like neo-fascists that they truly are. They couch their language with high-sounding words like "democratic," "openness" and "inclusiveness" when they are anything but. Their efforts are cleverly concealed in lawyer-like terminology within bills that they rush through state legislatures encouraged by the high-handed manner in which the national House of Representatives and Senate acted in passing Obamacare. Their goal is clear: To create a one-party rule with which they will rule as the ruling elite to establish a socialist state. This is the fundamental change promised by Barack Obama.

Amy Ridenour's National Center Blog: The Washington Post Should Fire Courtland Milloy

Amy Ridenour's National Center Blog: The Washington Post Should Fire Courtland Milloy

In the last few days there has been an outcry from self-righteous liberal-progressive-socialist Democrats in the Capitol and the Left Stream Media over what they term is Conservative violence mongers. They cite Fox News, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin and pontificate over the way these spur the "fringe, Tea Party right" to violence.

The truth is, however, that it is the liberal-progressive-socialist Democrats and their minions in the Left Stream Media that are the harbingers of violence. Courtland Milloy of the left-stream revered Washington Post is only one of those and if we were to make a list it would include Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the leaders of the liberal-progressive movement as well as those from MSNBC, CBS, NBC and CNN. In the past decade they have slandered, reviled, cursed and threatened conservatives in this nation. Their hypocrisy is clear for all to see for conservatives do not encourage violence but, more often than not, are the recipients of violence from the left. In my lifetime it has been the liberal-progressive-socialist left that has thrown the bombs, carried out or attempted the assassinations and destroyed property with monotonous regularity with Timothy McVeigh being the sole exception. That, my friends, has been the fact throughout American history.

ObamaCare is Tyranny, Not Legislation

ObamaCare is Tyranny, Not Legislation

Ronald Reagan once said, "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

Truer words were never spoken for what we will have if Obamacare passes is government sponsored tyranny over our private and personal decisions. It will be the beginning of a statist regime where the government will begin making the decisions that should be ours. And they will make those decisions so that they benefit "the people" which is defined as the state.  That is enough to terrify any thinking American.
