Are people (except for the liberal press that bet the farm on Obama) starting to realize that they voted in a 'Grade A' Moron?

Obama calls opn clergy and rabbis to preach health reform. First, is this even constitutional. Second just imagine if Bush did this

I think I just had an epiphany.
Recently Obamadinejad approved $2B more for C4C right?
Now, C4C is getting cancelled, on August 24th I think.
And just a day or so ago, he approved $2B for that oil exploration in Brazil, right?
Sounds to me like a bait-and-switch. They won't rescind that $2B for C4C because it's "already budgeted" so now they've found another way to spend that money.
Go go libtard disguised theft.

Obama, Ayers, and Chavez and the Inextricable Ties That Bind
Is the association between Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Barack Obama as innocent as the media and the President’s people would like you to believe? Are Ayers and Dohrn reformed radicals, whose only purpose in life at this moment, is higher education in America? Have they repented and since condemned their actions and the crimes they committed, as well as those carried out by their disciples, The Weather Underground?
Perusing their activities during their “radical” days of domestic terrorism, as well as their more recent activities is warranted, because I in no way believe in their purported metamorphosis from radical Communist to exalted educators.
===
They’ve followed Alinsky’s game plan from the beginning, and they’re proud to continue and promote the ideas of a Marxist.

Why Americans Need to Make Saul Alinsky the Armature of their Healthcare Argument
As I sat watching the news all day, watching disgruntled Americans duke it out with arrogant politicians, it occurred to me something got lost in all of this- the history of Barack Obama and the radical left. I and many others have been studying HR3200, hoping to develop a strong counter-argument against the despotic democrats who are hell-bent on shoving it down our throats.
The “right to die”, rationing healthcare, a bureaucrat coming in between you and your doctor; these are just a few of the warranted fears of Americans. This would be a radical overhaul of our country, it would literally put the government in control of our lives (beyond just the aspect of national defense). They would decide the quality of our lives, no matter how they try to wrap up their “reform” in semantics.
[snip]
Watching all this go on, something occurred to me, we need to broaden the scope of our argument, rather than just debating the bill and government spending, we need to include the armature for our debate- the etiology of liberalism (because this is a disease eating away at this country) and why we have radical leftists trying to bring to fruition the long envisioned socialist utopia.
I am sure you have all heard of Saul Alinsky, the man Barack Obama idolized in his formative years.

Hey everyone, that crazy man is at it again, I just told Van Helsing but I thought you would find this interesting. Now he is telling his followers to kill bankers!

Do you think he is on the payroll of the Democrats just like those nasty people who are harassing our patriots at those town hall meetings right now? The shame of it!
Why don't these people understand that free markets are the only thing that can SAVE us?

SK, Rush, Sean and now Beck, even O'Reily are sounding the alarm and have been for some time. I respect Bill because he really tries hard to play it straight and is wise to the outright lies and distortions of the communists. Even if he wont admit it publicly.
We have hundreds of serious journalist's like Michelle, Ann, Andrea, HTWW, etc on our side that ARE gettingthe word out.
I do agree that we should encompass the debate to include the festering cancer that is liberalism, but we have so much digging to do to get out from under the mound of idiocy and screw up's that have been elected like McCain, Snowe, Spector etc.
If we don't start getting decent honest people like Palin in charge who actually love this country then this whole thing is just a ruse and a sideshow attraction to be forgotten.
Everybody always says "my senator is ok, it's the other guys" which it baloney!! ALL of them are traitors and have messed this up. Each and EVERY person in congress MUST be replaced if we have any chance of salvaging the disaster they have ALL created.
From a Constitutional veiw 90% of the laws imposed over the past 30+ years are unlawful and should NEVER have been passed or even considered. NOBODY on capital hill for decades follows the constitution or even cares if what they are doing is legal, let alone ethical. Most of it is just back scratching and payoffs to keep their cushy jobs while WE suffer.

I suppose Neal Boortz is a little too libertarian for you guys, but he's been made aware of the ole' Cloward-Piven strategy. Probably about the best exposure it's going to get, I doubt you can condense it into a short enough sound bite to fit in between WHICH CELEBRITY DID SOMETHING segments, that all the cable networks are obsessed with.

HOPE is not fading it's just taking a much needed WE WEE'd vacation, that's all.
Last November Congress and the White House was given a green light and last time I checked they are still in the driver seat headed towards Socialism.

The Perspective Of A Russian Immigrant
By SVETLANA KUNIN
In the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, I was taught to believe individual pursuits are selfish and sacrificing for the collective good is noble...

Just in general, from the sounds of the advocates of government healthcare or from BO and the nasty people he surrounds himself with, it is beyond any form of rational belief to think that their mission ever was, or is, about health.

A casual look at the personal character of any of the last 3 democratic presidents, (had they not been presidents) could result in a pretty bleak picture.
If Jimmy Carter weren't the president, he would today be alone on his farm broadcasting various antisemitic rants from a homemade CB radio set.
If Bill Clinton had not been president, he would by now have been caught fornicating with a prostitute in a dumpster behind a Denny's restaurant.
If BO had not been president (one can dream) he would now be in charge of curtain hanging at a local ACORN chapter, completing his third autobiography.
BTW speaking of autobiographies, its kind of interesting that the title of Bill Clinton's autobiography: My Life is also the title of the autobiographies of two major communists: Fidel Castro (My Life) and Leon Trotsky (My Life).
Just sayin....

Quickies, (in the News, that Is)
Ya Want Mercury With that?: The Washington Post reports on something pregnant women have known about for a good while.
They knew that they should avoid consuming fish and especially the garbage-eaters of the seas, shellfish, for fear of absorbing excessive amounts of mercury and damaging their pre-born babies: http://bit.ly/MJQf6.
Not mentioned by the Post is the fish future after billions of government-mandated, mercury-laden compact fluourescent light bulbs outlive their usefulness and are discarded and the mercury makes its way onto America’s dinner plates and into our central nervous systems.
Hey! Joe was a clunker! So bury him!: According to USA Today, more and more American families are turning to government charity to bury their dead, especially in Los Angeles and Las Vegas: http://bit.ly/YdlOW.
This country once upon a time was noted for its self-reliant, independent people. Not any more, thanks to decades of government handouts, bailouts, and welfare. Time was when even the poorest scraped together enough to pay the insurance man enough to ensure a proper burial.
That’s passe’ today as we have become a nation of takers rather than do-ers.
A Weekend with Bernie: Bernie Madoff was an outstanding scoundrel but somewhat less than outstanding in the sack, as reported by DailyFinance.com: http://bit.ly/D1Mtf . . .
