is the “public relations” part of the job- visiting other countries in a pleasant and social context, parties at the White House, social
and cultural events across the country, photo ops and getting to function as a national cheerleader who gets to say nice things
without being challenged that much about content.
Every President has the right to a bit of this. However, as things have worked out, our current President has practically had
nothing BUT this. He has done the PR part of the job pretty well and when substantive matters have arisen, the major
thrust of his reaction has been that any problem is not of his making.
As the Middle East teeters on the brink of chaos, he may try that again, wailing that this is just another “mess inherited from
Bush”. He should refrain. Every modern President has inherited the same mess and that song may not resonate well right now.
This is the first time that Obama will really be tested and a daunting test it is. The volatility of national, religious and ethnic
relationships in the Middle East goes back thousands of years. Achieving stability- not perfection in each country- but stability- is
an enormous feat. The failure of stability will not just be an economic disaster but will threaten war, real cataclysmic, massive war.
A forceful American President has the potential to stave of disaster more than any other international entity and I do not know if
our President has got the goods. The ability to ingratiate yourself and to say what you know another wants to hear is not the
same as real diplomatic skill. Does President Obama know how to keep Egypt from exploding? Can he support a rebel call for
liberty without completely dismantling one of the few stable governments friendly to us and to Israel? The jury is out. I am not
persuaded that this President has any grasp on history.
Is he aware of the EXPLOITABLE VACUUMS that can occur during a time of revolution? Is he aware of how
dangerous they are? Does he know that when Russian citizens overthrew the Czars and their rigid royal rule that the vacuum was
filled not by freedom but by cruelly totalitarian communism? Does Obama realize that when Cubans sought to free themselves
from the dictatorship of Batista, the vacuum created at that moment in time was not filled by freedom but by a far greater
dictatorship? Under the Castro regime there was a loss of liberty of epic proportions and a ruthless slaughter and appropriation of
private land and property? Is Obama ware that when Iranians revolted against the stern rule of the Shah that the vacuum that
resulted was filled by cruel, fanatical leaders that take life and liberty without hesitation? I am frightened because I don’t know if
Obama grasps this concept. I don’t know if he will do what must be done to prevent the Muslim Brotherhood from being the evil
force that fills this exploitable vacuum. Is the President aware that the Muslim Brotherhood assassinated Sadat and gave birth to
Al Qaeda and Hamas? Will he be able to overcome his own dedication to never appearing to be against anything Muslim to
actually fight this group?
He can’t grow his usual temporary pencil-thin moustache and expect it will earn him cooperation from Muslim men. This is far too
serious for props. I pray he will surprise me. The security of the entire world is at stake.
Obama is like a highly vaunted athlete. He’s been signed. He’s showed up for all of the autograph and photo
ops. He’s endorsed the shoes, made the ads and been to all the parties. Unfortunately, nobody has seen

The New Class Warfare: Union
Bosses Vs. The Rest of Us
Bosses Vs. The Rest of Us
For decades the Left in America has worked with remarkable dedication
in dividing us as a people. Rich against the poor has been their most
oft-used but not their only device.
With recent events in Wisconsin they are trying to adapt their strategy to
elements there. I have a grudging admiration for the PR techniques they
employ. When most of us struggle and doubt that we could ever afford to
retire, teachers picketing for huge pensions provided for them completely
by taxpayers who for the most part have nothing similar in their own
retirement portfolios. Certainly this bone of contention did not lend itself
to rich vs. poor class warfare. The answer: bring in union bosses to
redefine the playing field.
Now suddenly, the teachers of Wisconsin, public employees with a really
cushy deal and with the addition of civil service protections, are no
longer the stars of the show. Masterfully, with the ready cooperation of
the Obama Administration and the old establishment media, the
transformation has begun. The teachers of Wisconsin who are largely
viewed as equal in greed and incompetence have been replaced by the
image of a middle class, hard working, long suffering worker.
A big lie being repeated by left-leaning drones and others easily led
symbolically all workers of their right to collectively bargain. What a pile of
garbage. The teachers retain the right to collectively bargain in regards
to pay and other benefits. There is nothing in the Constitution or in the
annals of law that guarantees public employees the right to leverage
excessively high retirement packages at taxpayer expense. It is not a
right. It is a privilege that some receive and others do not. The right here
belongs to the taxpayers who fill the public trough and have the right to
monitor it when it is becoming empty.
I hope that people will not be fooled by the "BS" being spouted by the
Union bosses and their puppets in press and government. I pray for this
but am gladdened by two facts: The demonstrators are driven by greed
and the greedy are never able to stop themselves from imprudent action-
and now the true nature of our left-inspired class warfare is becoming
clear. They think it is The Republican Party vs America's workers, but it is
becoming clear quite quickly. It is Union Bosses vs The People.

Obama: "Small Town Americans Must
Be Relocated to Cities to Save Gas!"
Be Relocated to Cities to Save Gas!"
Washington DC- As gas prices skyrocket in the United States, President Barack
Obama says there is plenty of blame to go around.
"Of course the disastrous situation in Libya and throughout the Middle East, plays a
role in high gas prices, but Americans cannot escape their own culpability", said the
President.
"We cannot drill the oil within our own borders because it might hurt the whole earth
somehow and some of us stubbornly refuse to stop driving our cars. Those are the
factors to blame for high prices, not Qaddafi."
Obama went on to say that his plans for bullet trains and other forms of mass transit
within cities "will completely end the need for gas under my leadership".
"However, I cannot control everything and some Americans selfishly and stubbornly
insist on living in small towns away from cities so they don't have mass transportation
and expect to get in their cars and drive to large cities or other towns. These people
are destroying the earth."
Obama stated that he could site many opinions from environmental specialists such
as Al Gore that demonstrate that rural and farming Americans are damaging the
planet. Having animals that produce methane gas in elimination could end life on
earth according to the president.
Obama also condemned the use of "gas-guzzling" vehicles like tractors on farms.
When asked if his new policies might damage American Agri-business, Obama
responded that their might be "temporary inconveniences" but that the United States
could "easily import what we need."
"At least we wouldn't have to carry the load of knowing we selfishly destroyed the
Earth by insisting on energy-wasting farming an small town life."
Obama stated that "relocatees" would be given stipends to help with moving. The
Federal government would serve the people by taking custody of "abandoned
property."
Republicans have bee highly critical of the plan, stating that the majority of the
people who will be uprooted are registered Republicans. A White House spokesman
has called this assertion as a "wacky conspiracy theory."

King's intentions seemed to be obvious- allow Iowa conservatives
access to presidential candidates and to promote and explore
conservative principles as they impact issues of the day.
Conservatives traveled from as far away as California to participate
in what some call the "Midwest CPAC". They heard from some but
not all of those considered to be in the current field. Neither
Romney, Pawlenty, Palin or Huckabee were in evidence. Rick

panels. Most of the participants remained throughout the day-long event and attended the evening banquet that featured remarks by conservative grand dame and author Phyllis Schafley and a
keynote address by Senator Jim DeMint. DeMint gave a speech of solid conservatism delivered with understated intensity and quiet Southern charm.
Conservatives seemed to leave the event feeling energized and confident in principles that they believed were further clarified and distilled. For anyone who has been studying the field of White
House contenders there were no startling revelations. Perhaps the most fascinating thing is the way that much of the national media is reporting on the event. It has been generally reported that
the speeches best received were those of Bachmann and Cain. Bachmann delivered a real "barnburner" that infused the crowd with excitement and Cain won the crowd over with passion and
they can headline a conference that was unifying in nature. They are taking the fact that Barbour did not address social issues within his remarks and using it as an indicator of a major divide
within Conservatives- those who refuse to discuss social issues and those who refuse to dismiss them. To a limited extent there is such a divide but not within conservative ranks. Those who wish
to avoid social conservatism cannot be classified a conservatives.
One reading any of the post-event reports might easily think that social conservatives were insulted by Barbour's remarks. But that was not the general response of the audience. The group
seemed to accept at face value the fact that Barbour had chosen to talk about the desperate need for economic growth. His comments about the "main thing" seemed more aimed at the Obama
administration's failure to focus on the "main thing" of job creation and economic growth. The media seems determined to use this phrase to create discord among conservatives insisting that
Barbour's intent was to diminish the importance of social issues. By the same token, John Bolton's emphasis on foreign policy cannot be presented as his decision to belittle other issues. This is
ludicrous.
Campaign cycles are long. Presidential candidates have countless opportunities for public addresses. Sometimes they are about the economy, sometimes defense, sometimes abortion and so
forth. Topic can be influenced by the audience and by the events of the day. It is a good thing- especially for voters who see the candidates multiple times and welcome fresh material and new
perspectives. Will that have to end now? If Michele Bachmann gives a speech about economics will she be condemned for neglecting defense. If Herman Cain speaks of his business acumen and
the budget to a Chamber of Commerce will he be demonized for turning his back on social conservatism?
This is ridiculous. The media is creating this conflict. It is not real. Only candidates like Mitch Daniels who actually say that social issues should be pushed off the table deserve to reap that crop.
Conservative speakers should be judged on what they say and what they actually do as elected officials and leaders.
I choose to trust astute conservative voters. They will discover the truth about a candidate's conservative credentials . Hopefully, no manufactured schism will guide their thinking.

placed in Federal hands. Johnson also created National Public media and also inserted government
authority into every level of transportation. Clearly Obama has picked up LBJ's baton.
(In the following section I compared Obama and LBJ in the context of Viet Nam and
Afganistan. Libya is even more profound. Again we have an American President who
engages in military activity for political purposes; without clearcut military objectives
and but with disturbing political motivations. Consider Libya as you read on. You will see
that Obama could not be more LBJ!)
We stand today on the precipice of the most startling similarity between these two: Viet Nam and
Afghanistan.
Many today wail that Afghanistan will be another Viet Nam. I believe it is a tragic certainty. But it is not
because of the wars, themselves, but because of the Commanders in Chief at their waging. I don't accept
the posit that Viet Nam was a "BAD war". We have forgotten. We have forgotten that Viet Nam was a
beautiful, peaceful agricultural nation. Viet Nam was a very loyal friend to the United States and entitled to
our protection through a long standing series of treaties and agreements. The Viet Cong were aggressive,
communist troops that were funded and assisted by Communist China and the Soviet Union. They moved
through Viet Nam "guerrilla-style", attacking one peaceful village after another. Their usual MO was to
disembowel the oldest daughter of the mayor in front of him to gain his cooperation. Young men were
forced into service, many girls and women raped, countless innocent, unarmed citizens killed and many
villages destroyed. Of course we should have come to their aid. The war did not become a "bad war" until
it became politicized by President Johnson. He disregarded calls to allow air strikes on VC supply lines. He
did not supply or condone what could have brought sure victory because he did not want to anger his
anti-war base. Yet, he did not want to appear to be a complete coward so he kept the war in a "holding
pattern" that never could produce a real victory. Thousands upon thousands of young American lives lost
for no reason- that's what created the negative image of this war.
I see Obama as very ready to leap into LBJ's footsteps. Already, we hear of American troops not getting
what they need to win in Afghanistan but still being ordered to stay. I fear that Obama will be too afraid to
provide what his own General tells him is needed for victory lest he anger his anti-war base. I fear that he
will maintain troops that there in some sort of holding pattern so that he won't look like a complete coward
and someone who lied when he passionately pushed for a victory in Afghanistan as a candidate. The
press played a big role in vilifying our American troops in Viet Nam while attempting to spare Johnson. I
pray we do not see a repeat of that, but, sadly, I would not be surprised.
and that the National Endowment for the Arts was created. The endangered species Act, now so twisted in
California, came into being with many other environmental acts.as well as many, many welfare programs
such as food stamps. "Community action and organizing" became part of the matrix of government with LBJ
and he oversaw the government funding and control of education being removed from local authority and
placed in Federal hands. Johnson also created National Public media and also inserted government
authority into every level of transportation. Clearly Obama has picked up LBJ's baton.

According to Dr. Leopold Schlsweinger, Medical Consultant to the United Nations,
Obama "had been unable to resist patting himself on the back and after repeating
the gesture multiple times had strained several muscles in the neck and shoulder
area."

Where Nothing Is Real But Everything Is Really Funny
Address Marred....
Obama Strains Neck & Shoulder Patting Himself
On the Back During Speech on Bin Laden Death
On the Back During Speech on Bin Laden Death
The simple truth is that the US military and the intelligence component working with them functioned
brilliantly- not because of their Commander in Chief- but in spite of him. The truth of this is implicit in the
events, themselves. Consider these events on a linear timeline. First we have the decision to act- managed by the
President. Sixteen days. 16. This is being praised by liberals as proof of prudent deliberation. Hell, no. This is dithering.
We are now told that it was so obvious that this was an extremely likely place for Osama to hide, a preschooler could
have figured it out. Yet Obama could not grasp the obvious course of action for 16 days! The next part of the operation
was managed by soldiers and spies, prosecuting the mission with swift, decisive action. Then came the post mission
action with management back under the President. Pictures? Yes. No. Maybe. Yes. No… The story morphing by the
minute and the decision as to which details to release changing like quicksilver. This is all proof that we had a successful
mission in spite of an inexperienced, indecisive President.

And on the topic of the infamous kill pic of a dead, unarmed Bin Laden- this is just a rumor, mind you, but word is that
Obama, high on his new Patton-like self image was very willing to share the picture, until…. He was contacted by the
Nobel Peace Prize Committee and informed that they would demand that he surrender his Peace
Prize if he allowed the picture to be released.

Clearly, the path to this mission was born of enhanced interrogation. This meant that terrorists were grilled
aggressively and “waterboarded” which made terrorist interviewees feel like they may drown although they all
knew that in reality they would not. Sounds good to me- an effective technique to gain vital, life-saving information
without causing any real or long-lasting damage or injury to a terrorist. Quite humane. But then Shepherd Smith
on FOX the other day says, in that superior supercilious way of his, that information was gained from “enhanced
continues to seek to file criminal charges against them. I wonder if this hypocrisy even bothers Obama.
He basks in the glow of a victory wrought from enhanced interrogation. He should feel like he’s trying to fund the
Neighborhood Watch with stolen money.

Obama Does Not Pass First Test
Happy Independence Day, America!
history- something that exists in the past. Indeed, we do revere history on this day, but it is time for
us all to realize that our War for Independence did not end as the last shots were fired in the
Revolutionary War. That was only the conclusion of the first wave.
This young nation is bold but also vulnerable. We exist in a world of ancient nations- many of them
existing in one form or for thousands of years while we have yet to mark a third brief century.
There are many, some of them within our own shores, who resent this young upstart nation and the
noble experiment that she embodies.
They seek to bring her down- to cripple her- destroy her- enslave her.
We must fight to preserve freedom here just as assuredly as those first Americans did before us.
The torch has been passed to us. We fight with words and ideas instead of weapons- but fight we
must.
This young nation is still growing. Freedom could be snatched so easily.
Yes, think of history and those who came before us. But also realize that history is now. The battle
is now. The dangers to the United States are just as real today as those posed by British soldiers in
1776.
Carry the torch high this day. Those who came before have passed to us a sacred trust.

Where Nothing Is Real But Everything Is Really Funny
Millions of Unemployed to Be Sent to Farms
"Agricultural Green Jobs Will
Be My TVA" Declares Obama
Be My TVA" Declares Obama
"We all agree that the carbon produced by American mechanized farm
equipment is absolutely ravaging small third world countries. After studying
greedy policy of using so much fuel on its farms. I'm shutting them off. Turning
off the ignitions on the tractors by executive order."
The President then stated that he knew that "there would be those who would
want to use livestock for farm work' but discounted the suggested.
"We've already harmed the planet with carbon from equipment. We can't harm
it even more with the methane gas that animals produce. But I am introducing
a plan that will solve this problem. As you know because of the fiscal
irresponsibility of the Bush administration, we have high unemployment. I will
solve the problem that I inherited. All able-bodied unemployed individuals will
be temporarilly transferered to America's farms. This is an exciting new start
for our country. Our soil will be tilled, our crops, planted, maintained and
picked by people power. We are creating millions of green jobs!"
When asked about critics who claim that the program is transforming the
unemployed into a serf or slave class, the President dismissed the remarks as
"racist".
President Obama has expressed admiration for President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt in his creation of jobs through the Tennessee Valley Authority,
known as the TVA. Obama's program will be dubbed the American Farm
Authority or the AFA. It will be administered by a new AFA Czar to be
announced.
Where the unemployed farm workers would live, how their food would be
provided, how they would be transported and the source of funds to finance
the program are all unclear at this time.

Obama Repeatedly takes credit for BIn Laden's death and everyone seems to agree....But
OMG! We've Got Eddie Haskell in
the White House!
the White House!
Ever see a rerun of the iconic 50's sitcom Leave It to Beaver? If so, you're familiar with the character of Eddie Haskell.
the front porch with Mr and Mrs. Cleaver and he's still looking good, saying exactly what he believes others want to
hear. Have him stay over night and the real, annoyingly insincere, oily manipulator rears his ugly head. Eddie Haskell.
Now we, as a nation are experiencing our very own Haskell moment.
Barack Obama courted the voters like a mass of June & Ward Cleavers. He thrived in short, superficial encounters.
The debt ceiling crisis has presented that long, extended visit that will be his undoing.
I almost feel sorry for the guy. He arrived on the scene believing himself to be absolutely invincible. Not only was he
dauntlessly confident in his ability to beguile he had an unbeatable secret weapon tucked in his back pocket. Class
Warfare.
Class Warfare always works. You can just see the wheels turning in our Eddie Haskell's mind. If my charm isn't enough
I'll pull the pin on the CW grenade. How can I fail? After all, there are a lot more poor voters than rich ones and all I
need to do is tell the poor voters that I will give them what they want and that the big, bad mean, Republicans will take it
all away from them. All I have to do is say over and over again that the Republicans only care about a few corrupt rich
people,
So there he stands on the national stage with his Eddie Haskell smile while he brandishes Class Warfare again and
again. Everything should be working. His numbers should be skyrocketing. They are not. They are plummeting.
I see confusion in Obama's eyes know. Why isn't my plan working?
The answer is quite clear to me. The problem is the Eddie Haskell Factor- and all of Obama's domestic and global
handlers have failed to see it. Class Warfare isn't working as it should because people are not turning on Obama
because of politics or policy. Right now they are turning on him because of personality. He's been to visible. He's
forced himself on the television viewing audience too often. They've seen too much of our Barack/Eddie and his true
nature has gurgled to the surface.
Familiarity does indeed breed contempt. What was seen as a quick wit during early, brief encounters with Obama has
now revealed itself as series often clever, but always nasty and snide insults. An attitude that was perceived as a bold
and courageous response to critics in the early days is now perceived as a thin-skinned, petulant and immature
inability to suffer even slight disagreement or criticism. What was considered self-confidence is now seen as
insufferable arrogance and we have seen Obama's penchant for self-congratulation travel from the sublime to the
patently ridiculous.
The best part of all of this is that Barack Obama is very much behaving with the same level of maturity and discipline
that high school student Eddie Haskell exhibited. The more his popularity plummets, the more he will believe that the
remedy will be another public address where he can persuade and bamboozle. And with every such appearance,
Obama[Haskell's true nature is more visible. People will become increasingly disenchanted. As I said I ALMOST feel
sorry for this guy.
He'll talk and talk and talk. His glib, oh so cool jokes will become nastier and nastier. He will pull out old Class Warfare
so often it will become a joke.
And in the end Eddie Haskell and Barack Obama will share yet one more key attribute. Even though both cause
tremendous chaos through irresponsible behavior and a total devotion to self-interest, no matter what disasters may
ensue, nothing- ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IS, EVER HAS BEEN OR EVER WILL BE THEIR FAULT!

Cheerleaders Hold Car Wash
to Send Bill Maher to China
to Send Bill Maher to China
Maple Ridge, Vermont- PPNS Correspondent,SJ Murphy- Streets were blocked for
eleven hours last weekend in the area surrounding Windwood High
school as hundreds of cars waited in line for a fundraising car wash.
Car washes for school projects are nothing new in the area, but this
event was different. The cause involved television personality Bill
Maher.
Said Tiffi Remboldt, one of the event organizers, "We were watching
one of those TV interview shows and there was this older guy named
Bill Maher and he was the most unhappy person I ever saw."
"Yeah. Totally miserable. Like the most miserable person any of us
has ever seen. He's like- like filled with rage and hate, you know",
added Buffi Carson another organizer.
Mitzi Binder completes the trio, all seniors on the Windwood High
School Cheerleading squad.
Said Binder, "His face was like he hated everybody and he kept talking
about how rotten this country is. But then he'd start talking about how
great China is cause they got a dictatorship there that works great and
keeps all the stupid people organized and getting stuff done and stuff."
According to the girls they notice how "totally miserable" Maher was
when talked about America but "really digging it" when he talked about
China.
"We decided right then and there to help that miserable guy out", said
Carson.

they'd see our signs they'd honk and shout!"
The three attempted to give the money to Maher but state
he mumbled something about "little Palins taking over the world" and
then closed his door.
The three said they will probably buy designer uniforms for the

Where Nothing Is Real But Everything Is Really Funny
I like to think and I’ve been thinking a lot about the Debt Ceiling of Doom. So many who list to the right are talking about
how rotten the deal is and when they tire of that they talk about the rotten nature of the system that produced it.
No argument here. It all stinks- beginning, end and in the middle. So I’ve challenged myself to come up with a scenario,
given current realities that could conceivably have fostered an end product that does not suck. I absolutely cannot imagine
the magic circumstances that would have allowed a solution that was real and honest and pragmatic. I have concluded
that there was never- never a real opportunity for a fiscal conservative victory. All this sound and fury really
does signify nothing.
There never was any hope. I do not suggest that we roll over and play dead. We must continue to fight for the best
solutions within the realm of the possible. That said, what I do suggest is a pause.
That’s right. A pause. I ask every Conservative- Tea Partier- libertarian- every talk show host, every pundit,
every official, every candidate to pause... to take a breath- to stop talking- to stop railing- to reflect. I’m asking
everyone to silently take a few steps back and really look at our situation calmly, analytically and with the
welfare of the nation in mind.
We teeter on the brink of disaster, and I don’t mean default. I mean: an opposition to the Obama organization that is
now so splintered, so fractured, so bent on self-destruction that an Obama victory is an absolute certainty.
That is the disaster.
Yes, the plan is not a real answer. It is largely window dressing. It will not really solve root problems and in the end it will be
nothing more than another public relations tool for the Obama UberLeft to use against naïve and inept opponents. OK.
There you have it. No amount of passionate political debate will change it. I’m not advocating we give up hope. To the
contrary, let us focus now on a hopeful future. Let’s stop expending all of our energies on this infinite blathering and
instead use our combined powers and skills to construct a new paradigm in which the American people are
never again asked to tread through such an incredible pile of sewage.
Let’s identify the factors that exist right now and are responsible for the fact that a satisfactory solution cannot be found-
now.
1. The Opposition to Obama is, by and large, naïve’. We do not seem to realize that Obama and company are
willing to do ANYTHING to maintain power. They will engineer another great depression if they believe that that is the
path to power. A strong economy is not their endgame. Some of my Tea Party friends especially do not see this. They
believe that The Uber Left will blink in this game of chicken. They scoff at the threat of negative economic outcomes. Well,
live is not as we have known it. We are down the rabbit hole. We must realize that the UberLeft that now runs the White
House and the Senate is dedicated to a global structure with a diminished United States taking a bit part therein. We must
acknowledge this reality and include it smartly in our strategy.
2. The debt/deficit problem will not be solved- no problem will be solved until there are personnel changes. Not
only do we not have control of the Presidency and the Senate, these two branches of government have never been more
single-mindedly driven by political self-interest and an abdication of service to citizens who do not share their narrow
political goals. Never have we had such a situation. There is no pretense at representing all the people. There is not even
the appearance lip-service to an outreach to Americans who cannot be classified as liberal. Hostility toward a large
segment of the populous by two thirds of the government is major. It is of overriding cultural and governmental
significance. The behavior of the Tea Party- the perceived weakness of GOP Congressional leadership- whatever- dress it
all up however you wish. In the end it is of little significance. In the end, it is the intractable hostility of the Obama
Administration and Obama-controlled US Senate that is to blame for the lack of a real solution. Period

Decent, well-intentioned people. But like Patty Hearst, they are victims of the Stockholm Syndrome.
“Captives” of the Beltway for so very long, they have been compromising for so many years, reaching across the aisle
for so many decades, they have grown to identify themselves with their “captors”. They have forgotten who they are- what
they stand for and what they must fight for. It is not their fault, but the old guard must go. We need new leadership and

I am filled with abject sadness. The Obama UberLeft is laughing. They have all the chips. We Conservatives fall
for every ploy. We divide ourselves into multiple camps. We turn on each other not the enemy. We will emerge
from this bloody, wounded divided and weak. The laughing Obama will continue to laugh through November 6th. The
Obama Opposition will have lost its focus. Because they could not emotionally face the loss of this one battle, they will
have failed in efforts to unite and move forward and the loss of this battle will be dwarfed by their loss of the entire war.
I pray. I pray that all forces who oppose the Obama UberLeft will be able to recover from this artificially created political
trauma. I pray that these forces will turn their wrath away from each other and toward the Obama machine that will surely
destroy us all.
how rotten the deal is and when they tire of that they talk about the rotten nature of the system that produced it.
No argument here. It all stinks- beginning, end and in the middle. So I’ve challenged myself to come up with a scenario,
given current realities that could conceivably have fostered an end product that does not suck. I absolutely cannot imagine
the magic circumstances that would have allowed a solution that was real and honest and pragmatic. I have concluded
that there was never- never a real opportunity for a fiscal conservative victory. All this sound and fury really
does signify nothing.
There never was any hope. I do not suggest that we roll over and play dead. We must continue to fight for the best
solutions within the realm of the possible. That said, what I do suggest is a pause.
That’s right. A pause. I ask every Conservative- Tea Partier- libertarian- every talk show host, every pundit,
every official, every candidate to pause... to take a breath- to stop talking- to stop railing- to reflect. I’m asking
everyone to silently take a few steps back and really look at our situation calmly, analytically and with the
welfare of the nation in mind.
We teeter on the brink of disaster, and I don’t mean default. I mean: an opposition to the Obama organization that is
now so splintered, so fractured, so bent on self-destruction that an Obama victory is an absolute certainty.
That is the disaster.
Yes, the plan is not a real answer. It is largely window dressing. It will not really solve root problems and in the end it will be
nothing more than another public relations tool for the Obama UberLeft to use against naïve and inept opponents. OK.
There you have it. No amount of passionate political debate will change it. I’m not advocating we give up hope. To the
contrary, let us focus now on a hopeful future. Let’s stop expending all of our energies on this infinite blathering and
instead use our combined powers and skills to construct a new paradigm in which the American people are
never again asked to tread through such an incredible pile of sewage.
Let’s identify the factors that exist right now and are responsible for the fact that a satisfactory solution cannot be found-
now.
1. The Opposition to Obama is, by and large, naïve’. We do not seem to realize that Obama and company are
willing to do ANYTHING to maintain power. They will engineer another great depression if they believe that that is the
path to power. A strong economy is not their endgame. Some of my Tea Party friends especially do not see this. They
believe that The Uber Left will blink in this game of chicken. They scoff at the threat of negative economic outcomes. Well,
live is not as we have known it. We are down the rabbit hole. We must realize that the UberLeft that now runs the White
House and the Senate is dedicated to a global structure with a diminished United States taking a bit part therein. We must
acknowledge this reality and include it smartly in our strategy.
2. The debt/deficit problem will not be solved- no problem will be solved until there are personnel changes. Not
only do we not have control of the Presidency and the Senate, these two branches of government have never been more
single-mindedly driven by political self-interest and an abdication of service to citizens who do not share their narrow
political goals. Never have we had such a situation. There is no pretense at representing all the people. There is not even
the appearance lip-service to an outreach to Americans who cannot be classified as liberal. Hostility toward a large
segment of the populous by two thirds of the government is major. It is of overriding cultural and governmental
significance. The behavior of the Tea Party- the perceived weakness of GOP Congressional leadership- whatever- dress it
all up however you wish. In the end it is of little significance. In the end, it is the intractable hostility of the Obama
Administration and Obama-controlled US Senate that is to blame for the lack of a real solution. Period

It's NOT the Economy, Stupid!
So it continues. The autopsy of the debt deal goes on and on and on and on.
If somebody were to take all the verbiage produced by DebtGate and print it on standard sheets of paper and lay them
end to end, it would reach the moon long before any astronaut in Obama’s America could.
Yet, with endless talk of economics, I contend that this entire exercise has never been about the economy. Not really.
The whole point of this process has been to cripple the Republican Party. The whole point has been to manipulate
events so that conservatives were separated from the whole and the so-called Tea Party faction isolated from all others.
Think about it. The Senate and the President would never have allowed real fiscal change to happen. Even if every fiscal
conservative in the Congress had dug in his heels and insisted on absolute ideological purity- never given an inch and
produced pure and perfect legislation-still the Senate and the President would not have cooperated. I repeat: they did
not ever need to cooperate. They do not fear default or downgrading or anything. They would allow any negative event
to happen if it contributed to their grasp of power. Their confidence in the media’s ability to shield from them from all
blame at all times explains why they never, never will cooperate in real cuts and real reform.
So they, unlike the naive’ GOP, knew all along that all the debate and drama was only a sideshow. For them the main
event was breaking apart an opposition to Obama that was starting to look formidable.
They’ve produced their show like the pros they are. Even Rush Limbaugh is taking their clever direction. After talking
against the foolishness of a third party for years, his anger over this farce has trumped that resolve. With every minute of
his bitter postmortem on the debt deal he, himself, is making the case for a third party, albeit obliquely. He’s talking with
such angry passion that soon, it will be irreversible. He has focused the anger of the Tea Party against the Republican
Party. The unity needed to defeat the Obama UberLeft Machine becomes less and less likely with every word from Rush
and Sean and Glen and the rest.
I must acknowledge the brilliant political machinations of the left. They have managed to maneuver our Conservative
voices into doing what Pelosi, Reid, Soros and Obama put together could not do. They have smashed any possibility of a
unified opposition to Obama. They are doing just what Obama wants them to do. They are killing the last embers of hope
in conservative hearts.

Aliens? I Think Not!
Aliens? I Think Not!
Scientists with Obama's newly politicized space agency, NASA, have issued a warning to us, the vile Americans.
planet monitors, then we earthlings will be eliminated by roving do-gooder aliens. These aliens are portrayed as
on a universal mission to eradicate unworthy species while preserving their real estate.
This is so stupid, it is very hard for me to believe that Al Gore didn't say it first..
It seems that Obama's scientific brain trust believes that we will attract unwanted interplanetary attention by
allowing our atmosphere to change. Are you kidding? One volcanic eruption produces more atmospheric
transformation than we little old humans could imagine. Naturally we want to be responsible stewards of our
planet and its atmosphere, but this thinking suggests that we should curtail industry and technological and
human advancement so as to hide from distant races that might object.
This assertion is beyond stupid. It is backward and cowardly.
It pains me to say this, but I'm afraid Obama's NASA people forgot that we are in a solar system with other
planets. Some of these planets are raging balls of explosive gases. They change dramatically through time.
Furthermore, some of these planets are largely composed of some of the elements that cause apoplexy in the
planet monitors when even a trace is found. In reality, busy-body aliens would probably only visit earth to see
why it was so quiet.
Nope. I will not be making any changes to hide from alien eco-terrorists. I could not be less impressed by alien
races.
Yes, I know that conventional wisdom assumes aliens from other planets as being far superior to earthlings but I
don't see it.
Many of those that believe we are not cosmically alone, believe that we've already been frequently visited. Well,
if that's the case, it doesn't say much for our visitors. They could figure out how to get here but can't figure out
how to say "howdy". If earthlings were to visit another planet, we'd do it up right. We'd send our smartest and
prettiest people. We'd amass gift baskets with apples and chocolate and Omaha Steaks. But what do we get
from these so-called superior creatures? Nothing. All that they seem to be able to do is to roam around the
woods at night, pale, naked and bearing nothing but body orifice probes.
Oh yeah- real impressive.
And what if the cosmic hysterics were right and aliens were to travel incalculable distances because they
detected a change in the atmosphere of this small planet? Why would it be assumed there would be a negative
outcome? With the incredible technology it would have taken to detect earth, observe it and then travel here,
the aliens could solve earth's energy problems on their coffee break with no need for violence.
So, here we sit in our little corner of the universe. If Obama continues to have his way we will cease to reach out
as explorers and scientists. We will be relegated to the role of hiders, too afraid to even screw in an
incandescent light bulb.

| The Hypocrisy Meter |
national epidemic of hypocrisy.
According to monitoring analysts, President Barack Obama's "war on rudeness"
leads the way. It seems that The President accuses his critics of being rude. Yes, what
Representative Wilson did was rude, although his frustration level must have been
understandably high. And yes as the President implies, frustrated and anxious taxpayers
may become a bit loud and boisterous at a town hall or tea party. But it is shocking first that
surprising is that Barack Obama lectures others on rudeness. Obama seems to define it
all by the decibel level of the voice and believes himself blameless because he
insults others routinely but in a moderated voice. Obama has used a very unctuous
comments about protesting citizens, congressional opponents and media that fails to
worship at his feet have been consistently rude. No President in recent history has treated
his immediate predecessor with more rudeness. Yet he feels it is all acceptable because
he delivers his rudeness cloaked in an affable smile and urbane wit. The staff
suggests that almost anyone in Great Britain will confirm that Obama id the "rudest
President in modern times". Yet, he lectures others...This is described by the
monitoring staff as the most insidious hypocrisy ever.
Meter Monitors also report that treatment of CIA agents has spurred countless
incidents of liberal hypocrisy. For example, when liberal democrat Valerie Plame who
worked for the CIA but not as a field operative, was mentioned as working for the
CIA in news stories about her husband's efforts to use intelligence gathering for political
ends, there was a great hue and cry- there still is.
It was discovered early in the investigation of the situation that Valerie Plame had told her
hairdresser and several merchants that she frequented that she worked for the CIA, the
Democrats and the liberal media embarked on a witch hunt against any member of
the Administration they thought could be blamed for endangering her by "outing"
her. And although any information about Plame has been traced back to the left-leaning
Bush-hating Dick Armitage, Many in the media and on team Obama still seek blood,
especially from Dick Cheney. It is astounding that the same people so concerned about
the welfare of office worker Valerie Plame aggressively and consistently pursue
actions that reveal the identities of past and present CIA field agents with
involvement with the capture and interrogation of terrorists. They support releasing
pictures of agents and names of agents. Attorney General Houlder's law firm is involved in
efforts to "protect the rights" of said terrorists; these efforts often necessitating revealing
information about American field agents.
This is indeed, the pinnacle of hypocrisy.

What will Obama Serve Us
In His Big Jobs Speech?
In His Big Jobs Speech?
Obama wants to announce that he is the new FDR. He wants to
tell the American People that he will save us from the
bush-caused job-depression that is even more devastating than
the so-called Great Depression. He wants to portray himself as a
savior akin to Roosevelt who will and create a new WPA- his own
mammoth government works program.
However, as much as he may want to make to make this grandest
of gestures, he will say and propose less in that regard as he
would like.
His party will prevail upon him to instead to use this grand
opportunity to expand on his war with the United States Congress.
He will vilify the Congress. He will belittle the Congress. He will
forthrightly accuse them of playing political games to the detriment
of the American people. He will declare that while he has tried and
tried to help the American people, the Republicans in Congress
have opposed him- have obstructed his efforts and have placed
politics above patriotism. He will whine that he alone is fighting for
jobs against a tide of Republican legislators who want to protect a
few wealthy cronies at the cost of jobs for the many.
He will not hold back. Then he will put forth a bill so tinged with
socialism that it will virtually have no chance of passage. Then he
will have countless campaign trail opportunities to complain about
GOP legislators who fight the creation of jobs.
ten years ago. Stories to be heard- lessons to be learned. Yet there is one
that first comes to my mind at the mention of 9-11 and has crossed my mind
countless times since.
A firefighter had recounted that his job was to help the injured as the reached
the bottom of the stairwell in the crumbling tower. It was his job to keep that
area open for the survivors making their way down. He told how his fellow
firefighters were moving past him to go up that stairwell to rescue others.
He'd said was known and accepted by the firefighters that going up that
stairwell was final. He said they all knew that anyone going up was never
coming down.
He said that as he watched his firefighting brethren climb the stairs to a
certain death there were times when their eyes would meet for a second but
never, never did even a single firefighter hesitate or falter. In fact he said they
rushed to their fates, anxious to assist as many fellow citizens along that
burning and collapsing stairwell as they could until they, themselves, perished.
That is the essence of courage- a spontaneous action wrought from one's
very soul- not choreographed, not heralded- often unknown.
That is the best part of us.
That is America.

people should not think of him as a softie. He has been a hard-nosed liberal a
vocal proponent of all kinds of bizarre policies to prevent the births of all. Until
becoming involve in Bill Gates' charities, Buffett left his fortune to ZERO
POPULATION GROWTH.
Buffett is not the kindly, business only, apolitical, nonpolitical philanthropist
people think he is. He has been pushing super liberal, environmentally
extreme cause for decades.
Now he has found a way to push his far left agenda with that banal smile on
his face.
He is, as are most liberals, extraordinarily arrogant. He sees a difference
between his own business-owner, artfully manipulated tax bill with that of his
employee and presents it to us as if he were some fiscal Santa Clause.
Personally I think he is still pushing Zero Population Growth and has selected
American business owners as the first pesky group he'd eliminate from his
planet.

Even in Death Andrew Inspires
I did not have the honor of knowing Andrew Breitbart. I watched his flamboyant truth-telling in awe. I am
still awestruck as with every moment I become more aware of the enormity of the vacuum that his
passing has created. It will take all of us to produce even a glimmer in this new void-so bright was the
torch that Andrew wielded. I see him against the backdrop of the The American Revolution. I see
Breitbart as the fearless, boisterous, brilliant provocateur, inspiring colonists and annoying Tories on a
daily basis. I see him in taverns and on street corners- hoisting a tankard- Rousing the rabble with
jovial, passionate words. As we continue that revolutionary fight to protect and nurture this still young
bastion of freedom, our battle is even more daunting without him.

ContraceptionGate: Our newest and ugliest Scandal
Like most Americans, ContracetionGate is summoning some strong opinions in me. As usual, the band
of tricksters on the left are hurling out all kinds of diversionary smoke bombs, exploding phrases like
"women's healthcare". And as usual, so,so many of us breathe in the fumes and fail to luck behind the
cloud.
The very, very first topic to be discussed is the most basic. Are Americans human beings or rutting
boars in the woods? Do we govern our own actions or are we totally helpless in the face of any
biological urge? That's it- the primary question. It is at the root of ContraceptionGate. We must address
this query and we must conclude that Americans are still human and that we are free souls- governing
our bodies and deciding our own physical actions. Sexual activity is elective. Since when do we expect
insurance providers to provide for elective needs? Why are so many of us so willing to sacrifice our
humanity in return for medical freebies?
If American adults should elect to enter into sexual behavior, the consequences are their responsibility.
Plain and simple. Liberals have long since sought to establish the federal government as the arbiter of
sexual conduct rather than the basic moral beliefs that have always informed our laws and reflect the
beliefs of our majority- hence, recent attacks on religious organizations and other citizen groups based
on ideologies that offend libertine liberals.
This is it. This is the time to stand. We must pay no heed to the diversionary heckles of "women's
health". We must not allow ourselves to be distracted from the primary issue- the paradigm of personal
responsibility in human behavior and the rights of society.

| Oh yeah, He'd have fit right in... |
Can't help but feel sorry for the faculty of
the Geprgetown School of law.
Their favorite student talked about the
financial burden of her sexual activity not
in the context of simply being a hot-to-trot
graduate student. No,no, no. She was
careful to consistently frame the
conversation within the contraceptional
burdens on female law students. I do so
hope that nobody will start to wonder as to
