AMERICAN THINKER CRITIQUES OBAMA, AND IT ISN'T PRETTY
Here's a reprint of a column in the American Thinker written by Matt Patterson. He says what millions of us believe. And he is so right about The Affirmative Action President.
Obama: The Affirmative Action President by Matt Patterson, columnist, American Thinker
Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's most powerful military, execute the world's most consequential job?
Imagine a future historian examining Obama's pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a "community organizer"; a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, so often did he vote "present"); and finally an unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions. He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as a legislator.
And then there is the matter of his troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama's"spiritual mentor"; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama's colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president?
Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberaldom to have hung out with protesters against various American injustices, even if they were a bit extreme, he was given a pass.
Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass -- held to a lower standard -- because of the color of his skin. Podhoretz continues: And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also so articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) "non-threatening," all of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest?
Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama phenomenon -- affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and regulations, which are designed primarily to make white people, and especially white liberals, feel good about themselves.
Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates which follow. Liberals don't care if these minority students fail; liberals aren't around to witness the emotional devastation and deflated self esteem resulting from the racist policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist.
Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the color of his skin -- that's affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn't racism, then nothing is. And that is what America did to Obama.
True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of achievements, but why would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois ; he was told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary. What could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display every time Obama speaks?
In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked executive qualifications nonetheless raved about Obama's oratory skills, intellect, and cool character. Those people -- conservatives included -- ought now to be deeply embarrassed. The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of clichés, and that's when he has his teleprompter in front of him; when the prompter is absent he can barely think or speak at all. Not one original idea has ever issued from his mouth -- it's all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over and over again for 100 years.
And what about his character? Obama is constantly blaming anything and everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this mess. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. But really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly?
In short: our president is a small and small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the intellect to handle his job. When you understand that, and only when you understand that, will the current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such a man in the Oval Office.

MORE THANKS GOV. WALKER AND THE REPUBLICANS
Here's another story about how the Walker Budget Bill containing the collective bargaining changes has benefited a community. Oh, my gosh, it's Dane County, home of the most liberal population, most liberal political system and most liberal court system in the State of WI and maybe nationwide with the exception of California. But Walker's Budget Bill has no favorites. All taxpayers are benefiting.
Dane County has an $8 million deficit in their 2012 budget, but now thanks to a new 5-year reduced premium agreement with their insurer and additional premiums paid by their employees, Dane County has saved over one million dollars. Does anyone think this would have happened had the Demobrats remained in control of Madison? Gee, it's amazing, isn't it? The Republican bill that sparked 6 recall elections is turning out to be a real money saver for lots of municipalities and school districts. Thank you to everyone who worked hard and voted to keep at least four Republicans in Madison. Hopefully after today's polling (two Democrat recall elections) there will be more Republicans sent to Madison.

MUSICIAN TED NUGENT ON GUN CONTROL
Great video about Ted Nugent's view on gun control. You might think some of his views are extreme. I believe he's right. We don't need a piece of paper to give us the right to defend our right to life. And we don't need anyone in any government dictating how, when and where we can protect ourselves and our families.

THE FACE OF SOCIALISM
Aaron Kennedy is the founder of Noodles & More. He grew up on a farm with no connections to big money. At the age of 29 while eating at a Chinese restaurant Kennedy had an idea, which he scribbled on a napkin. He gathered up funds from friends and family and he maxed out 8 credit cards, and he opened his first Noodles out of his basement. He then put together a team of people with whom he'd build and operate 100 Noodles branches. It is now a $75 million franchise with 240 locations in 18 states providing over 3,000 jobs to people like Rob, the Noodles employee in this video. Noodles is the perfect example of American ingenuity and the resulting small business creating thousands of jobs.
Rob Lewis was one of the demonstrators at the Capitol in Madison, WI. That's where he was filmed. The first part of this video shows Rob being proud to be a member a socialist organization. The video cuts away to a meeting of the socialist group that Rob is involved with. But the most interesting part of this video is when Rob talks about his employer, Mr. Kennedy. He complains about his boss telling him what to cook, how to cook it, and what time to be at work, amongst other things.
Under Rob Lewis's vision everything Kennedy has worked for should be taken from him. Lewis says workers need to take control of the work place. He says that Kennedy should "abdicate his ownership position" and become equal with the employees. He says the employees would be willing to work with Kennedy if Kennedy brought his "expertise" to the table. Readers, this is what SOCIALISM looks like. Be warned, this video contains graphic language. The discussion of the workplace at Noodles begins at 3:38 in the video. We must defeat Socialism and all its ugly appendages.

WITHOUT AMERICA, THERE IS NO FREE WORLD
Lt. Gen W.G. Boykin discusses Marxism's insidious march into American society. He is highly educated and has vast experience in identifying Marxism. PAY ATTENTION! Marxism is breathing down our collective necks.
Obama is in breach of our Constitution, Congress is in breach of our Constitution, and the Courts are in breach of our Constitution. The Tree of Liberty is dieing a slow but steady death.
Watch the whole video and then YOU decide how close we are to losing our Republic, our Constitution and the freedoms that generations of Americans have fought and died for. And then vote on 11/2 as if our very existence depended on it, because it does.

THE "SKINNY" ON THE 1% TRANSACTION TAX
Today I received an email regarding an alleged proposal by Obama/Pelosi to charge a 1% Transaction Tax on all financial transactions, every bank deposit/withdrawal, transfers within accounts, credit card transactions, ATMs, direct deposits, Banks, Credit Unions, Mutual Funds, Brokers, real estate, etc. Any financial transaction, the tax would apply.
I thought, well, this is something everyone should know about, but as I always do, I checked the facts before publishing the information in this blog. So these are the facts on this subject.
In February Rep. Fattah (Liberal Dem from Pa) introduced his "Debt Free America Act." Contained within this act is a proposal for the 1% transaction tax cited above. The act is pretty radical and has not gained any traction in Washington within either party. So far Fattah has found no one who would sign onto the bill with him.
So it appears that as of now the 1% transaction tax is not going forward full steam ahead. Snopes says the rumor about the tax isn't true, but Snopes can be notoriously wrong on political issues. Their political slant is usually Left/Liberal. Therefore they debunk things that are actually true. I tend not to trust Snopes.
But in this case Fact Check.org has also said a 1% transaction tax has not been passed and is not endorsed by the administration at this time. And they are correct. It has not been passed - yet.
But Beware, Friends. Listen to what Pelosi said about this tax at a news conference just last Thursday:
“I believe that the transaction tax still has a great deal of merit.” The tax would be a "great source of revenue that has a really minimal impact on the transaction but a tremendous impact on helping us meet our needs.”
Only a Democrat would believe that a tax would have a "really minimal impact" on us. She is just a blithering fool.
And you all know what this means. The 1% Transaction Tax is Not A Going-Nowhere Issue with Pelosi and the Democrats. Though it has not been passed into law, Pelosi likes the idea. That spells t-r-o-u-b-l-e for us.
It’s a hint here, a suggestion there, a gentle nudge, and then a stronger nudge, and pretty soon a 1% Transaction Tax becomes law before the American public knows what hit 'em. In spite of what Snopes and Factcheck say, I will be watching this issue. So should you.

SEN. LISA MURKOWSKI, SORE LOSER
Alaska Sen. Murkowski, handily defeated in the Republican primary by Joe Miller, is refusing to go away. She has attacked Conservatives and Tea Party Express participants as "racist," "extremist," has called us "outsiders," and said we "hijacked the Republican Party." But I say if "hijacking" means saving the party from corrupt, failed, establishment liberals like her and Mike Castle in Delaware, then good for us!
This sitting U.S. Senator can call us anything she wants. I call us "We The People." We are loud, we are passionate, we are not going away, and we are not going to sit down and shut up.
And now she has announced that even though she lost in the primary, she is running as an Independent Party write in candidate for the Senate. Gee, Lisa, nice way to try to destroy the Republican Party that you've claimed to represent. You are a RINO and you just proved it.
When liberal candidates lose their primaries many leave the party and join the opposition or run as Independents. When conservatives lose their primaries they usually accept defeat and support the winner. Marlin Stutzman (IN) endorsed Dan Coats. Chuck DeVore (CA) endorsed Carly Fiorina, and Ovide Lamontagne (NH) endorsed Kelly Ayotte.
But when Arlen Spector (PA) was defeated he left the party. When Charlie Crist (FL) faced defeat he got in a snit, left the party and is running as an Independent. And now after being defeated Murkowski is having a temper tantrum and is running as an Independent. After her primary loss she stated she would not run as an Independent but would "return home." So much for her "WORD" meaning anything!
Murkowski's betrayal proves the voters of Alaska did the right thing by "Firing Her" the first time. And now they're going to have to do it again because apparently she didn't get the "YOU'RE FIRED" message.
I am confident that they will send Joe Miller to Washington because the alternative, sending Murkowski or some other liberal loon, is asking for more of the same big-government-spending-spit-on-our-Constitution government that we currently are stuck with.

VOTE TOMORROW, SEPTEMBER 14
If you live in a state that has a primary tomorrow, September 14, you must get out and vote.
It's pretty clear that Americans have become extremely disillusioned with Obama and the leftist 'business-as-usual' that pretends to be "change you can believe in."
This year's midterm elections give Conservatives a chance to slam on the brakes and bring the big-spending, big-government, we-don't-care-what-you-want-we're-doing-it-my-way policies of Obama and the Liberals to a tire screeching halt.
To win a majority in the House Conservatives must defeat at least 39 sitting Democrats. This can be done, but it can't be done without YOU, the VOTER! Conservatives also have a chance to take the Senate. This can happen in November, but the first step is tomorrow's primary.
There are some great Conservative challenger candidates running for Congress and the Senate this year, people who are deeply committed to bringing about real "change" by restoring Constitutional government to Washington.

9-11. IT WAS MURDER PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
Tomorrow marks nine years since over 3,000 Americans were "murdered" at Ground Zero. They were innocent people who were murdered in cold blood by lunatics hiding behind the label Islamic Jihadist and justifying their reprehensible actions because they believe anyone not of their "faith" is considered an infidel and should be destroyed. And their "faith," by the way, is Islam.
We all know and will never forget where we were nine years ago. We also remember the horror we felt as we saw the Twin Towers come down, people jumping from windows to their absolute death, the fire fighters, policemen, Americans helping Americans to safety, the gray clouds of toxic dust come rolling down the streets of New York engulfing everything and everyone in its path, the plane crash in the field, Todd Beamer's command to "Let's Roll. The images are seared forever into our minds.
Americans wept, Americans hurt, Americans were brought to their knees. And then Americans came together, got angry, picked themselves up, and went on the offensive. Americans named the enemy, and that enemy was and forever remains Islam, a religion that calls for the destruction of non-believers. Educate yourself on the Koran. It is eye-opening.
Today we are still fighting these murderers. It is ugly, it is hard, and it is taking a long time. We are winning this war, but war is not a board game with rules. It would enable our troops to end this war if the leftist apologists and Obama would allow our troops to do what they are trained to do so well and stop hampering their success with ridiculous rules of engagement that have prevented them from winning this war by any and all means possible.
We have allowed the political agenda of the liberals to circumvent the entire process of a military force, changing their mission from "defense" of our nation into "nation building" and painting targets on their collective backs by not allowing them to conduct the war to win it. Sacrificing American military lives for politics is reprehensible.
Today we are still under attack not only by unknown Jihadists, but also by powerful elected officials who say we have to accept Islam as a fact of life, and we should allow them to build their victory memorial on the ground where they murdered our neighbors. We are told that if we don't allow them to do this they will stay mad at us. We are told that there will be "grave" consequences if this isn't resolved satisfactorily, meaning if they can't build it, we are dead. Sure sounds like a peaceful religion, doesn't it?
Denying people an appropriate place to worship goes against the Constitution we all love, but somewhere between the law and lunacy comes common sense. And common sense dictates if you continue to allow people to threaten you, murder you, and then use your own laws to reach their ultimate goal of destroying you, your laws, your country, your future, and your beliefs, then it becomes a case of sheer stupidity.
When we go along to get along, and of course, be politically correct, and we back off because a "religion" says if we move their victory mosque one brick down the street from where they want it they will be "forced" to kill us, then we become complicit in the further destruction of America.
Remember, this victory mosque wants to be built by a religion that blows up women, children and innocents, flies planes into buildings, bombs train stations and night clubs, sets off car bombs, stones women who committed the act of wearing comfortable shoes, believes in female genital mutilation, beheads people of their own religion and others for whatever justification they can find, believes in "Honor Killings," the right to kill a wife/girlfriend/daughter if they don't do exactly as the man dictates.
This is a religion that burns Bibles and the American Flag with impunity but then kills innocent people because cartoons/pictures/articles about Islam that they don't like are printed in various publications. This is a religion that threatens us if even one American tries to burn the Koran or because 70% of Americans say "NO" to their victory mosque being built where they murdered us. Is this really "tolerance," "sanity" and "reason?"
Mr. Obama and others say they have an absolute Constitutional right to build the victory mosque anywhere they want, but the same Mr. Obama says it is wrong to burn the Koran. So which is it, Mr. Obama? If you believe the Constitution gives them the right to build it at Ground Zero, then the same Constitution gives someone the right to burn the Koran. I believe it's called the First Amendment. I personally think that neither should happen, but if one is Constitutionally protected, then so is the other.
The only thing that can stop the certain progression of an Islamic takeover of America (look at what is happening in Europe right now) is We The People standing up, standing tall, standing united and saying as loud as we can, "No, We will never surrender to tyranny or to terror, and will will not let you have our country."
To save America each and every one of us who cares about our safety, our freedom and our security has to speak out loudly, clearly and consistently. We have to de-elect anyone who does not take seriously this fight for our Constitutional rights of liberty, security and the future of this Great Nation.
Another 9-11 is simply not acceptable.
We all know and will never forget where we were nine years ago. We also remember the horror we felt as we saw the Twin Towers come down, people jumping from windows to their absolute death, the fire fighters, policemen, Americans helping Americans to safety, the gray clouds of toxic dust come rolling down the streets of New York engulfing everything and everyone in its path, the plane crash in the field, Todd Beamer's command to "Let's Roll.

Remember, this victory mosque wants to be built by a religion that blows up women, children and innocents, flies planes into buildings, bombs train stations and night clubs, sets off car bombs, stones women who committed the act of wearing comfortable shoes, believes in female genital mutilation, beheads people of their own religion and others for whatever justification they can find, believes in "Honor Killings," the right to kill a wife/girlfriend/daughter if they don't do exactly as the man dictates.
This is a religion that burns Bibles and the American Flag with impunity but then kills innocent people because cartoons/pictures/articles about Islam that they don't like are printed in various publications. This is a religion that threatens us if even one American tries to burn the Koran or because 70% of Americans say "NO" to their victory mosque being built where they murdered us. Is this really "tolerance," "sanity" and "reason?"
Mr. Obama and others say they have an absolute Constitutional right to build the victory mosque anywhere they want, but the same Mr. Obama says it is wrong to burn the Koran. So which is it, Mr. Obama? If you believe the Constitution gives them the right to build it at Ground Zero, then the same Constitution gives someone the right to burn the Koran. I believe it's called the First Amendment. I personally think that neither should happen, but if one is Constitutionally protected, then so is the other.
The only thing that can stop the certain progression of an Islamic takeover of America (look at what is happening in Europe right now) is We The People standing up, standing tall, standing united and saying as loud as we can, "No, We will never surrender to tyranny or to terror, and will will not let you have our country."
To save America each and every one of us who cares about our safety, our freedom and our security has to speak out loudly, clearly and consistently. We have to de-elect anyone who does not take seriously this fight for our Constitutional rights of liberty, security and the future of this Great Nation.
Another 9-11 is simply not acceptable.

Pelosi Has Foot In Mouth Disease
Well, well, Nancy Pelosi has done it again - she is calling for an investigation of the people who are opposed to building the mosque in the shadow of the Twin Towers in New York. Instead of investigating where the money is coming from to build it, whether or not terrorist groups are helping with the funding, the Lear Jet Liberal Pelosi wants to investigate 64% of Americans - that's the percentage of Americans who are against the mosque being built at Ground Zero. I sure hope Californians vote her out in November. She is an embarrassment to the state and they need to kiss her good bye.

To Mosque or Not To Mosque
Well, Obama has done it again. He said one thing on building a mosque in New York, before he said something else on building of a mosque in New York, and then said something else on building a mosque in New York. This time it only took him a day or so to change his tune. First Obama stays away from the subject citing "it's a local issue." Then speaking at a Muslim gathering Obama says religious liberty "includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan--." And the backlash started, not only from the Right, but from the Lefty Liberals, Obama's base. So Obama "clarified" that his remarks addressed only whether building the mosque was constitutionally defensible, not whether its construction is advisable. Then the next day, yet another White House clarification insisting that the president's statements did not mean he was backing away from his original statement. Are you confused yet?? This is another example of an on-again, off-again position from Obama and his troops. He doesn't really care so he swings with whichever way the political winds are blowing or whichever group he is addressing. Very much like he did during the campaign.
Press Sec Burton said "The president thinks it's his obligation to speak out when issues of the Constitution arise." So this is suddenly a Constitutional administration?
Wow, how dare Obama lecture us about our Constitutional right to religious freedom when he has stomped all over our Constitution since January, 2008. He only cares about our "Constitution" when it's politically expedient for him to care.
And again, Obama has missed the temperature of the American people on this one. While he is lecturing about religious freedom and the Constitution, he misses the fact that for Americans this has nothing to do with either. We know we have religious freedom. We know what our Constitution says. But this is an emotional issue. People lost brothers, sisters, fathers, wives, husbands, kids, over 3000 American souls gone - in a few short hours. And who did it? Muslim extremists. And if the purveyors of the mosque really wanted to "build bridges" and "heal our relations with Muslims," they would voluntarily move the dang thing. Their refusal to do so tells us all we need to know about their real motivation.
