So .. how weak does America look now? Well, that's not all bad, is it? After all, last year Europeans responded to a poll by saying that they wanted to see a weaker United States. The Community Organizer may not be giving the American people - at least those in the producer class - what they want, but he's determined to make Euroweenies happy.
What am I talking about? Obama and Afghanistan, that's what. The dithering is back. President "Sort of a God" has rejected all options presented to him for troop strength increases in Afghanistan. He wants all plans redrawn and he'll give them some consideration upon his return from his Asian trip. In the meantime troop morale in Afghanistan is tanking. Understandable, when your Commander in Chief projects international weakness.
Make no mistake: Obama's continued dithering will cost lives. With every day that passes we're discovering that this man is completely and totally out of his league. He should be wondering the Southside Streets of Chicago registering voters, not leading our wonderful troops.
America projecting weakness around the world ... Change you can believe in.

Obama to attack guns as public-health threat?
Second Amendment advocates are expressing alarm that the most significant attack on gun rights across the United States in years soon could come in the form of a workplace "safety" regulation under President Obama's nominee to run the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

The time is now to start beating the drums to get this turd tossed out. Otherwise, the only workplace where guns will be a problem will be 1600 Penn Ave.

Barack Obama Acted Stupidly in His Own Words
I used clips of Obama's speeches from the campaign to the present along with a fun slide show.
I did a fun one yesterday, Let's Go Shopping with First Hypocrite Michelle Obama.

Sean Hannity's Apology:
Finally tonight...Although it pains me to say this, Jon Stewart, Comedy Central - he was right.
Now, on his program last night he mentioned that we had played some incorrect video on this program last week while talking about the Republican Health Care rally on Capitol Hill.
He was correct, we screwed up - we aired some video of a rally in September, along with a video from the actual event. It was an inadvertent mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. So Mr. Stewart, you were right… we apologize… and by the way, I want to thank you, and all your writers, for watching.

Marxist tyrants in Cuba mandate extreme energy cuts as response to man-made energy shortage
Enviromoonbats must be ecstatic. They will waste no time in demanding that we follow Castro's lead.

Meanwhile, moonbats here in the US think we can stop this man by denying his minions the ability to purchase semiautomatic rifles one-at-a-time in our gun shops, despite the fact they have already acquired automatic weapons, attack helicopters, anti-tank missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, high explosives, and virtually every other conventional weapons system they want.
The cartels are better funded and better armed than the Mexican military, yet moonbats want to use them as an excuse to strip average Americans of their Second Amendment rights.

I bet you knuckle dragging Rethuglicans are proud of yourselves for your latest bout of redneck bigotry in Virginia. Your gruesome culture of death murdered John Allen Muhammad in cold blood without provocation and without guilt. The evidence was only the drawing he didn't make. Those drawing were either planted by racist police conspiracy or the work of the mentally ill foster boy that Muhammad had been kind enough to care for. But none of that matters to you as long as your Faux news noise machine can pump the airwaves with enough anti-Muslim racism to make sure the jury is just as brainwashed and intolerant as you are. Then you come on here and cheer for the state sanctioned murder of an innocent man.
Pro life? You people are a culture of death. You cheer and salute the murder of innocents just because they pray to a different god than you.

Terrible Terror, Terrible Terrorist: Part Three
This final installment of “Terrible Terror, Terrible Terrorist” was postponed in deference to the obsequies for the casualties conducted at Fort Hood and the commemoration of Veterans Day. I chose not to pollute either with the evolving, sickening details surrounding the senseless Muslim murders in Texas which made the Texas Chainsaw murders almost child play.
That evolution becomes more sickening by the day.
Our president, with wife Michelle in tow, made a duty-appearance at those services on Tuesday appearing very somber as he read the names of the 13 dead, declaring them heroes, promising “the killer will be met with justice–in this world and the next.”
Obama incorporated brief and touching biographical notes on each victim, including a newlywed and a pregnant mother, whose death brought the body count to fourteen.
He lamented “the twisted logic that led to this tragedy. But this much we do know: No faith justifies these murderous and craven acts.”
His very presidential speech omitted 2 significant references. There was no mention of the dreaded T-word, Terrorism, nor of the suspected perpetrator of those “murderous and craven acts:” http://bit.ly/XBMIE
Obama out of pique had passed on attending the celebrations in Berlin remembering “the fall of the wall” and had postponed his jaunt to China in order to squeeze in his trip to Fort Hood but his omissions of the T-word and any reference to Hasan’s Islamic-terrorist connections were very telling.
They were in line with his efforts to play those connections down even as the facts continue to pile up. . . .

Yeah. He was just walking around in the prison yard when we had a sniper shoot his ass.
For my part, I was pleased as hell by his execution, which was ever so richly deserved.

"You people are a culture of death. You cheer and salute the murder of innocents just because they pray to a different god than you."
Call me crazy, but if John Allen Muhammed had not killed 10 people in cold blood, I think he could have avoided the death penalty regardless of his religious preferences.

We know you were pleased. Your people plan for Muslims is 1. dont be Muslim 2. if you are Muslim, die quickly.

My plan for Muslims is that they should pray however they want, but that they should quit killing people they don't even know.

While you enjoy your tea and biscuit or cup of Joe consider if you are getting the most out of what the Communist agenda has to offer today. On a positive note, we (those of us who can clearly see what is happening) will get a firsthand look at a country (the USA) transitioning from a Republic to a Communist Oligarchy. We will realize exactly why folks like George Washington frowned on Democracy since they realized and coined that remark about Democracy being two wolves.
In my view there will be no peaceful way out of this and I see no way to get the Jewel of liberty back once squandered. We will water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants and patriots; however, that is no guarantee that after the smoke clears freedom will prevail.

Sadly, his 10 victims were not available for comment.

Are you sure that's why, Jay? Cause I was thinking it had something to do with all the time they spend plucking their armpit hair and shaving their pubes.

Berlet98, there were actually 14 victims killed dead at Ft. Hood by the Islamic-terrorist Hasan by my count, and the murder charge should be 14 counts:
"Seldom mentioned is the most hidden victim — soldier Francheska Velez’s unborn baby. Velez was on maternity leave when she stopped at Ft. Hood, where she and the child she carried in her womb fell victim to Hasan’s bullet.
In the interest of true justice, Hasan should be prosecuted under the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, also known as Laci and Conner’s law, named for the pregnant woman and unborn baby who were murdered in California by Scott Peterson, the baby’s father."
It would seem that the law applies in this case for three reasons: the act of violence was committed on federal property…the shooting was allegedly done by a member of the military…and the violence could be classified as an act of terrorism.
http://michellemalkin.com/2009/11/11/the-14th-murder-victim-of-the-fort-hood-jihadi-massacre/
"The law applies only to certain offenses over which the United States government has jurisdiction, including certain crimes committed on Federal properties, against certain Federal officials and employees, and by members of the military. In addition, it covers certain crimes that are defined by statute as federal offenses wherever they occur, no matter who commits them, such as certain crimes of terrorism."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unborn_Victims_of_Violence_Act
The Obama Justice Department will never prosecute because part of the proof would be that Hasan engaged in terrorism, but, as Michelle points out, this provides a teachable moment.

Texas Governor says Obama 'hell-bent' on socialism
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1109/29424.html
Texas GOP Gov. Rick Perry accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of “punishing” Texas and being “hell-bent” on turning the United States into a socialist country.
The man then goes on to root for the tea parties
"Perry praised the tea party movement to the Republican activists in attendance, crediting the grassroots groups with discouraging some Democrats in Washington from pushing for a public option in the health care bill."

Good news, patriots: ACORN lawsuit raises question: Can it survive?
Meanwhile, ACORN is suing the Federal Government, their allies, to restore their funding. So we're having some blue-on-blue (or should that be "red-on-red?") friendly fire action. I'm beginning to wonder if ACORN is backed by Big Popcorn.../g

On PBS-Jim Lehrer they just had a discusion trying to give sympathy to Obama because his plate is too full. Just like Carter.
They just can't say incompetent.

Hey van could you see about fixing this tread. It seems to be automatically linking to the Obama you tube about him being a terrorist socialist muslim.
Sayed you are an idiot. I'll bet your tone would be different if that Muslim convert shot and killed one of your family members. Go wave your socialist flag elswhere.
