PAYING BIG TIME
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.’s
Obama’s Carrousel of Incompetence:
This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. How about you
move out of the country if you cannot support your president.
It’s obvious you use child-like tactics to bring him down. I’m
sorry, but having to criticize his golf game clearly shows your
ignorance and desperate need to find anything to bring him
down.

Yes it’s true. This bunch running the country is full of
bumblers, some of them freaks that bring to mind “The Rocky
Horror Picture Show.” At the same time, however, they are
attacking America’s ability to wage the war on terror. The recent
attack on the CIA has been described as throwing a bone to
Obama’s Lefty base. But it is more than that: it is one prong of
an all out assault on our ability to fight a war. The attack on
the CIA, lawyers interference in military issues, withdrawal from
Iraq and probably soon Afghanistan, reduced military spending,
balking at our security guarantees with allies, and negotiating
with enemies getting nothing in return all point to a proposed
isolation. The Islamic Fascists have been at war with the West
for 1400 years and won’t stop now because Obama does not want to
play.
On the domestic front, they are spending money at a rate that
will bankrupt the country, destroying its credit and debasing the
currency and printing new money which when monetized will produce
a hyper-inflation, higher interest rates and turn us into a
banana republic. Yet under our feet and in the sea lie trillions
of dollars of oil gas and coal enough to supply not only our
needs but export to the rest of the world for at least the next
several decades. If we build 100 nuclear plants, the resources
could last centuries. All this can be done while maintaining
clean air and water standards and land conservation. It would
have the additional effect of lowering energy prices, oil in
particular, which would reduce the amount of money available for
Islamists to conduct terrorism.
But this band of clowns want to subsidize alternative energy
sources that can’t make it to market on their own dime and
deprive us of energy sources that need not be subsidized and that
are cheaper. They say they are protecting us from climate change.
Humbug! They have found a new tax and new industry for insiders
using government money.
As clowns, misfits, bumblers and fools they cut a wide swath.
Unfortunately in the process they are ruining the country.
— Howard Lohmuller
In a perfect world the president would have some military
experience, some executive experience, some business experience
and some foreign policy experience.
Obama had no experience in any of those areas. None.
Any people on the left have the unmitigated gall to say GOVERNOR
Palin was unqualified. Exactly what were Obama’s qualifications?
Like the saying goes, you reap what you sow. We hired a smooth
talker who had no experience. Now we are paying big
time….

SHHHHH…….
It was only this past Winter and Spring
That no one but Rush dared say a thing,
But now the folks are carrying signs.
They know that our president has designs
On their security, their cars, their health and their
money,
Their very existence, and they don’t think it’s funny.
Hope and change are so very yesterday.
A new kind of communism is on the way.
The transformation is coming apace.
But he shuns your objection and blames it on race.
None dare raise their voices and speak.
Yet the American people have never been weak.
The Reign of Terror will not be long.
Love of freedom makes us exceedingly strong.
We’re not afraid to show our pride.
The Constitution is still our guide.
Colors merge, backgrounds blur
When the souls of real patriots stir.
The winds are swirling. We’re on the way
To take back our country…beginning today.

WHITEWASHING REALITY
Re: Andrew Cline’s
Ted Kennedy’s Real Legacy:
Very surprised to find such an article on your website.
Whitewashing reality is not generally what I expect when I read
your articles. The inclusion of Mr. Cline’s article was not one
of your better calls.

VACUOUS LEADERSHIP
Re: Brian O’Connell’s
San Francisco Democrats:
It’s really a shame that the best this state can do is a re-run
of Moonbeam and the demonstrably incompetent Newsom. Californians
need only take a look at the For Lease signs on Market Street to
see where this vacuous rock star would lead the state. Under
Newsom’s stewardship, the minimum wage in San Francisco is some
$1.49/hr HIGHER than the state minimum, 72 hours of sick time is
guaranteed for even part time employees, and the list of
business-destroying accomplishments grows weekly.
It’s also a sanctuary city where illegal aliens can murder
citizens, get “free” medical care at residents’ expense, and then
if the heat gets too high he will fly them to LA where they can
hide for awhile. Oh we need him in the State House. Has anyone in
or outside of this once great state figured out that cities and
states with huge deficits are usually run by ultra-liberals who
think nothing of jacking up taxes until everyone flees and the
tax base disappears? Does anyone understand that term limits are
OUR responsibility? Vote!

SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
Re: Jeffrey Lord’s
Honoring Teddy By Opposing Healthcare:
Mr. Lord’s principles of Christian forgiveness, charity and
loving our enemies shine through in his thoughtful remembrance of
Senator Kennedy. And it is through actions that principles are
best demonstrated. Put aside a man’s words and evaluate his
actions: that will render a fair portrait of the man. So what can
we make of Mr. Lord’s statement regarding Kennedy and principles?
Mr. Lord writes, “As with us all, Ted Kennedy’s life will speak
for itself…The legacy I most appreciated was the ever-present
idealism, the commitment to his principles — and the lasting
lesson that you should not just find your principles but fight
for them as vigorously as he did for his.” What principles were
those, Mr. Lord? Yes, he fought for the poor; this begot
generations of welfare dependence. Kennedy fought for government
run health care; the care to be provided by the programs was
substandard to anything he knew his entire life. He fought civil
rights for everyone; only the principle of this justice was based
on reverse discrimination where color counted more than
character. Until his dying day, Kennedy was an unrepentant
statist.
Socrates wrote, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” If the
good senator took time to reflect on his legacy, he might have
seen the damage he was doing. He might have become a mighty voice
for justice — true justice, not the false and shrill cry of the
Left’s identity politics, revenge and retribution. If Senator
Kennedy were to have come to the light (Right), his voice would
have been like no other. But for many reasons, Kennedy never
turned his back on liberalism, and his was not a liberalism his
brother John would recognize, let alone support.
How Edward Kennedy (titles don’t transfer to heaven) is judged by
his maker is not a call that can be made from this earthly
kingdom. If he was repentant is his personal life is not the
question here. Mr. Lord specifically wrote about Ted Kennedy’s
political idealism and Senator Kennedy’s legacy does speaks for
itself. The question remains if it is one that bears
repeating.

MOVING HEAVEN AND EARTH
Re: Joseph Lawler’s Failure
Rewarded:
“Higgs presents a 1941 poll that found that 40 percent of
businessman believed that the U.S. would become a fascist or at
least semi-socialist economic system after the war…” Sixty-eight
years later, Obama and DemocRATS are moving heaven and earth to
create FDR’s neo-fascist state. Those who believe in the rule
oligarchs like FDR are alive and well in the 21st century

REVERSE THE DAMAGE
Re: Peter Ferrara’s
America’s Record Recession:
Peter’s analysis is spot on. There is yet another factor that
exists today which was not in play in any of the recessions since
the 1930s. The ideal of a world economy is now a reality.
Countries such as China, India, and many other former third world
countries have now become major players in global trade.
These countries have begun to develop their own middle class and
raise the overall standard of living for their populations. In
order to compete and continue this growth they must attract
business and investment capital to their shores while being
agressive in their export activity. They can do so because of
cheaper labor costs, lower taxes, fewer regulations and a benign
legal environment.
American companies, and their domestic workforce, must compete
and in order to do so are increasingly opening operations
themselves or in joint ventures in these nations. Gone are the
days when by our and European economic hegemony we were able to
control world trade.
Those policies as outlined in this article will accelerate this
process and further delay any true recovery and job growth. If we
continue on the course Barack Obama has chosen, not only will job
creation cease but unemployment will remain in the double digit
range, inflation will rival that of the 1970s, and jobs lost to
countries overseas will never return.

Since the non-government National Bureau of Economic Research
declared the recession started in December of 2007 when there was
a positive GDP growth, one would think that since Obama’s
recession (with historic unemployment and wage loss) would
continue even if there is a mild up-tick in the GDP in the third
and fourth quarters of this year. Until consumers (70% of the
economy) actually get into the action, claims of the recession
being over are all hype and hyperbole. Of course, for the
historically high millions and millions of Americans who now go
to bed homeless and hungry thanks to Democrats, the recession has
become a depression. One can only hope that a future Republican
Congress and President can reverse the damage of Obama Democrats
and take us back to the prosperous days of George W. Bush and
Ronald Reagan.

MOVE ON
Re: Matthew Vadum’s
Obama’s Plan to Desecrate 9/11:
God forbid we try to move on from the tragedy of 9/11.
Republicans and right-wingers just want to keep reminding people
of the event because it was such a successful campaign for seven
years for an administration that was a corrupt as it gets.
Sickening.
— Kristine
I think I can speak for a lot of people in my town and it is not
a Democrat day nor is it Republican day, we view it as a day of
rememberence for over 3,000 people that were also Americans . The
left or the right can call it what they desire, it is still a day
that will long be and will remain with us for many years. No one
has the power to erase that .
