THE CHARADE GOES ON

Well, here we are days after Bin Laden has been eliminated, and the Obama Charade goes on. Oh, he did it all by himself, he and his cabinet, they chased BL down and got rid of him. What a joke! I give all the credit to our incredible military, the Special Ops and especially the Navy Seals who risked their lives to get 'er done.

Obama?? Here are some facts: Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder throws out prosecuting the Black Panthers who illegally intimidated voters in the 2008 election. We all saw the video on TV. It was blatant illegal activity at a polling place. And Holder won't touch them. But wait - Holder is pursuing a number of CIA agents who were responsible for the interrogation that provided the intelligence about the location of the gopher hole Bin Laden was stashed in. These agents performed the interrogation after getting absolute, total clearance from the Justice Department, which concluded their actions were lawful. These same CIA officers have already been cleared of any wrongdoing. The investigations had been closed for 2 years with no charges filed. But enter Holder and Obama - they are going to get the CIA one way or another. and the charade goes on.

Within 2 days of being sworn into office Obama banned all interrogation techniques other than what is contained in the Army Field Manual, which is basically nothing. So he banned the exact techniques that so successfully obtained crucial information about Bin Laden's whereabouts. Two-faced??

To further hamper our intelligence efforts the Obama administration released previously classified Justice Department documents on our interrogation techniques, thereby disclosing them to our enemies and ensuring that they could never be used again, at the same time putting the lives of our CIA officers in jeopardy. And they did it without hesitation.

Obama turned interrogation of enemy combatants over to the FBI, taking it away from the CIA, but did not put any "new" policies in place, so the FBI's hands are basically tied when it comes to interrogation. They are currently under orders not to interrogate.

Now the White House, the CIA and National Security people can't agree on whether or not the enhanced interrogation methods used by the three CIA "criminals" was effective and led to Bin Laden. Are they kidding??

Oh, don't forget about the pictures of a bloody Bin Laden. Obama doesn't want to release them because they might incite violence against our troops. Now wait a minute, Mr. Obama. Have you forgotten when you PUSHED for release of over 2000 pictures of the alleged "abuse" of the enemy by their jailers at Abu Ghraib? You were warned then not to release them because they might inflame Muslims and cause retaliation against our troops. But you released them anyway. You didn't give a hoot about our troops then, so don't try to convince us you care about them now. There is only one reason you won't release the BL death photos - it's because you are so sensitive and respectful of Islam and the Muslims. Wouldn't want to insult them, now would we? They behead Christians whenever they want to, but golly, don't show bloody Bin Laden pictures. It might hurt their feelings and it wouldn't be Politically Correct. It doesn't matter to me whether you release them or not. But it would be nice if you were truthful about why you are saying no.

And tell me, Mr. O., why do you permit publishing photos of flag draped coffins of American dead returning home? Aren't you concerned that those photos might insight more violence against our troops?

Your actions are contradictory. You say you "don't want to spike the football" or "give out trophies," yet you are all over the place "spiking the football" and "giving out trophies." The only pronoun you know is I, I, I, I, I -- It wasn't you, Mr. O. It was the Navy Seals and our military--the best trained military force in the world. If you had been in charge of this country in 2007 the information spigot would have been turned off, as it was in 2008 after you were elected. For the last two years and going forward now? No interrogation allowed, Miranda rights must be given, try them in civil courts, close GITMO, hold their hands and sing Kumbaya, and the CIA, FBI and the rest of the intelligence community is demoralized. Thank you, Mr. O.!

I will give you credit for giving the Seals the green light. For once, an intelligent national security decision from you. Though I suspect you decided you had to play ball. If you had said no and the public found out you said no, that would be the end of your second term. I believe it's called "political expediency."

OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL

Bin Laden is dead. I believe that to be true. I know our government has often lied to us throughout our history, and I believe Obama would do anything to create an "event" that portrays him favorably (he is in full-time campaign mode for 2012). But I believe BL is gone from this world thanks to our Special Ops military team. And I will give Obama credit for making the decision to go get him in Pakistan, even though there is information coming out now that Obama was reluctant and had to be dragged kicking and screaming to sign off on the "get Bin Laden" operation. But Obama in the end made the right decision.

But let's not lose sight of some important facts. During the 2008 campaign Obama promised to "bring the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan." He swore he was going to "close GITMO" in his first days in office. His focus was not on getting BL, but rather closing down the War on Terror. This is a president who won't even call it a War on Terror. This is a president who wants to be friends with the terrorists. This is a president who ordered our military to wash and wrap and bury BL at sea after 45 minutes of prayers in Arabic, supposedly according to Islamic burial tradition, while thousands of people who died in the World Trade Center are in a garbage dump on Staten Island. Now I ask you, does anyone think BL was a true Muslim, practicing Islam? If BL was an example of what Muslims believe, God help us. But Political Correctness reigns in the White House.

Obama wants to take all the credit for "getting" BL. He doesn't mention the fact that in 2007 under Bush a connection was made to a BL courier that took 4 years to cultivate and ultimately led to the resulting raid and death of BL. This event isn't something that just happened in the course of a few months. Bush-era decisions led to Bin Laden's elimination. If Obama had gotten his way he would have done away with all of Bush's National Security practices. What a hypocrite.

And now Obama is going to Ground Zero. Did you know he hasn't been there since the last photo op during the 2008 campaign? New Yorkers who died there have not been important to him until now. He has barely acknowledged what NYC went through, and now he's meeting with the families. All the times he's been in NY to raise money for his presidential campaign, he has never stepped foot at Ground Zero since becoming president. So why is he going to NY now? Call me just a little suspicious. It's because he would never waste an opportunity to further his reelection chances, and this is a nothing more than an opportunistic photo op.

The real heroes here are our military. I give great credit to them, especially the Navy Seals, for executing a mostly flawless take down of BL. I find satisfaction in the fact that the last face Bin Laden saw was the face of a Navy Seal, the face of America. I pray that the ceremony today brings further closure to those who lost loved ones on 9/11 and to all Americans who have continued to mourn the murderous event. May we all move on in unity so we can resolve the very important economic issues we face.

RUSSIA SAYS, OH, YES, YOU WILL!!

The traitors in Washington, including the Obamanuts, the Republican Rats and the Democratic Dolts, have now passed the START treaty. The Treaty is allegedly a nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia. Anyone who voted for this should be removed from Congress/White House immediately, bit it ain't gonna happen until 2012. Their job is to ensure our national security. The START treaty does the opposite. Here is only one of the threats contained in the treaty. Google the START Treaty to read about many more.

In the PREAMBLE to the START treaty there is language that links the U.S. ability to build a missile DEFENSE system with a required reduction of nuclear offensive weapons. The key word here is DEFENSE. A defensive system is designed to prevent missiles (which can now be sent from basically anywhere) from arriving on our shores. It is designed to DEFEND us. It is not an OFFENSIVE WEAPON, meaning it isn't something you use to shoot someone or something unprovoked. It's not a go-to-war-system. It's a protect-us system.

Remember now, the PREAMBLE to the START treaty says we cannot defend ourselves in this fashion. It says, basically, that missile DEFENSIVE system production is LINKED to OFFENSIVE missile reduction. In other words, America, no can do! Can't build a defensive system - oh, woo hoo, bring on the nuclear weapons, here we sit just waiting for them. But they won't come from Russia. They will come from some rogue country hell bent on destroying what's left of us. The START Treaty is with RUSSIA ONLY!! Do you get it, folks? It does NOT affect what all other countries in the world can do except Russia and the U.S. All other nuclear countries can go merrily on their way to develop and deploy what ever the heck they want, aimed directly at the U.S. That means Korea, Pakistan, India, China, Iran, and any other nuclear armed country. And it does NOT matter if a nuclear country is our ally at this moment in history. Allies quickly can become enemies. In the meantime, because of the START Treaty, we become sittin' ducks. We can't build a DEFENSE SYSTEM. And we've NEVER been able to TRUST the RUSSIANS, treaty or no treaty!

But wait, it gets really good now. It has been Obama and the Dems' position that the PREAMBLE language of this treaty isn't enforceable, doesn't mean anything, and oh, just ignore what it says. It's in the PREAMBLE, but oh, well, we don't need to comply with that section. This is what Obama and the Dems were plastering all over TV and stated in their arm twisting meetings with Senators the week before Christmas prior to the Senate vote on the treaty. And God help us, he sucked in enough Senators to pass it. Even with more than 30 defense or foreign policy government officials and related experts sending a letter to the Senate last Monday expressing their "professional judgment" that the Obama START treaty "is not consistent with the national security interests of the United States" and "should be rejected by the U.S. Senate." Well, congratulations to the most illiterate Congress ever! They passed it anyway.

But the truth came out on Dec. 23 when the Russian run media stated that the missile defense provisions in the PREAMBLE are "legally binding." In fact, Russia now says that it will pull out of the treaty if the U.S. proceeds with any missile defense program. So while Obama and Dem John Kerry and others are shooting off their mouths that this is "a component of the treaty that has no legal, binding impact whatsoever," Moscow obviously has a very different view of the Preamble.

START has been ratified and we are now defenseless and will remain that way! Well, let's party! Let's whoop it up and celebrate. Russian and U.S. nuclear arms will be reduced. Remember the white missile contrail seen off the California coast a few months ago? Well, the next one could be the "real deal." And the U.S. can't defend herself from non-Russian nuclear arms, and aren't we all better off now!

Who would have thought that a Communist Kenyan/Indonesian with no roots in any country would sit in our White House and sell out the greatest nation in the world? Obamamama is not negotiating....he's getting slapped, mugged and robbed by Putin while the whole world watches. Nobody on the world stage has played Obama for a fool more than Putin. Russia has given up little or nothing in every single negotiation Russia has had with Obama on a whole bunch of issues.

Read American history, People. Anything that includes the words legal and Russian in the same subject matter can't possibly be taken seriously. The only crime ring bigger and badder than the Russians is the Democrat Party and Republican RINO's.

Find out how your representatives voted on START (there are links in this blog), and then remember it when the 2012 election gives us another chance to restore more sanity to Washington. We got a good start in 2010. Let's not stop now.

DON'T TOUCH MY JUNK!

Ah, the refreshing words of a true American who objects to being officially assaulted by the TSA. The "junk" reference was stated by a gentleman at a US airport who refused the full body scan because he didn't want "someone to see me naked." He was told okay, then you will get a full body pat down. The procedure was explained to him, and when the TSA groper said "I go up and down your hips and groin twice," the guy expressed his displeasure: "Okay," he said, "but don't touch my junk or I will have you arrested."

At that point TSA management was called. The gentleman was given a choice. Submit to the TSA caress or don't fly. He chose not to fly and left the airport. The airline refunded his ticket in full. But now he's being threatened with an $11,000 fine, which is ALLOWED AND LEGAL under national security rules. If you don't believe it Google it.

Does anyone else think this is "third world?" Israel doesn't do this, and they are on terrorist alert 24 hours of every day. They -- oh my gosh, the politically incorrect word -- racial profile! And it works for them. But thanks to the far left PC crowd, that's not allowed.

What makes more sense? Pat down a 3 year old child, a gray haired grandmother, a family of 6, or a 20 year old Muslim traveling to or from Yemen or Saudi Arabia, or any other country that breeds terrorists? Look at this video of a child being physically searched. Would you like it to be your child? Do you think a child going through this would ever want to go to an airport again?



Now do you want to hear what the "don't touch my junk" passenger said?



Want to know which third-world bureaucrat approved of this? Obama and his travel czar, Janet Napolitano. And today Janet dropped the big hint. Muslim women wearing head scarves may become exempt from full body scans and/or full body pat downs. This is after a major Muslim group complained to the Obama about the action being instrusive. Janet says changes to the policy are being considered. Wanna bet how this plays out?

For me? I will travel by car, train, bus or anything but a plane.

And you really want to know how "safe" your full body scan is from public viewing? Last year the TSA "accidentally" posted its 93-page manual on airport screening procedures online. Makes me real confident that they can keep body scans private, huh?

THE INTERNET "KILL SWITCH"

A bill has been introduced in the U.S. Senate to grant the federal government "absolute power" to shut down the Internet and gives the president the authority to seize control of the web in the name of "national security." THIS IS NO JOKE!

The Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010 (PCNAA) was introduced by the traitorous Joe Lieberman. It gives the government the power to force private companies to "information share" with the feds and also gives the government the authority to monitor the "security status" of private sector websites. That's You, Me and All Of Us!

Of course, there has to be yet another new government agency created to police all companies that rely on the Internet, the telephone system and all components of the "information infrastructure." The directors of this new agency will have officers in the Departments of Defense, Justice, Commerce and National Intelligence.

Big Government would be able to read our emails, monitor which web sites we visit, and censure us by declaring a National Security emergency. Do you trust the government not to abuse this? I don't.

The largest Internet-based companies are surprisingly happy with the bill, but this is because it contains language that will give them absolute immunity from civil lawsuits, and the bill will also reimburse the companies for any costs incurred if the Internet is shut down for a period of time. The U. S. Treasury will pick up the private company's tab. Ooops, that's us.

The government has been searching for any avenue possible to regulate free speech on the Internet and shut down alternative media outlets, and this bill makes it all possible.

It's Good bye to another of our freedoms under the Obama administration's "Big Brother" policies.
But only until November when we take back our power.
Be sure to vote. It's your duty.

LIFE IN THE ER, THE WAY IT REALLY IS

Just received a message from a friend of mine whose family has had more than one ER experience this summer. I am quoting the latest experience exactly as it was reported to me by a mother who took her child to the ER. For privacy reasons I have edited the child's name and the city where this happened. Let me just say, though, this was not a city in a border state or anywhere near a border state.
This is an ER in Middle America in the age of open borders.
EXACT WORDS AS I RECEIVED THEM
FROM A 100% RELIABLE SOURCE
"It was frustrating at the ER Sunday night with (our child). We had to wait almost 5 hours because the waiting room was filled with Mexican couples and their babies/toddlers. None of the kids were crying or even looked sick. Most were running around playing. Wasn't this an EMERGENCY room? I wondered if they were using the ER like a regular doctor's visit. Everyone was speaking Spanish, including some of the employees at (the hospital). All the magazines were in Spanish and so was the television show. I felt like I was in a different country. And I bet none of them had to pay $150 deductible to be treated, like I had to. Plus I'll have to pay 10% of all other charges. Wish I could get in on some of that "free" health care. We pay $1600/month plus our out-of-pockets are ridiculous. Oh well, I know I'm making a LOT of assumptions here. It was just bizarre."

This is likely going on in ERs all over America. And guess who's paying the bill?
Our gutless government just hasn't been telling us the truth about this. They'd rather leave the border porous and buy the Hispanic vote than to save our economy.
But Now We Know The Truth.
