Your local DMV has just been surpassed by the employees at Los Angeles International Airport in terms of sheer incompetence.   It’s no secret that government employees in general lack the skills needed to hold down real jobs, but at LAX they take this to a whole new level.  

Having spent my morning at what can only be described as the worst run airport in the nation, I will now recount my tale of woe as I stood in security lines at the mercy of the products of the California public schools.   I actually wonder if there is any employee, anywhere within LAX, that did not vote for Barack Obama.   The only silver lining with LAX is that those employed would otherwise be living on welfare in the projects of Inglewood. Then again, it can be argued that working for the government is tantamount to being on welfare.

Being familiar with the airport, one that I vow time and time again to never fly through, I planned my day carefully and arrived ninety minutes early only to find an equally long wait in the security lines.   Mind you, this isn’t like a normal airport where you have one security line, but rather multiple lines where you check your bag, after you have already checked your bag.   Yes, you check your bag twice after you check in twice.  Hey, it’s California and keeping those union employees on the payroll is job number one. 

Since the first government employee was too busy with the bags he already had, I was sent clear across the terminal to another government employee who was busy rambling away in Espanol with his co-worker.   So much for those laws that require English only in the workplace, passed by a large majority of California voters.  

Using common sense, I gave him my bag and went to the closest escalator to ascend to the next security line.   Big mistake as the Obama voting TSA agent informed me that I would have to go to the other line, back at the other end of the terminal by the first baggage check in.   At least I think this is what she said, but subtitles would have helped as I have never taken Ebonics as a second language.

Vote Republican because we all can’t be on welfare!

Yet again we have more Americans dead and a radical, Islamic fascist to blame.   While the mainstream media is downplaying this, Fox News and others are reporting that Nidal Hassan, the terrorist who attacked innocent soldiers at Fort Hood, was indeed a Muslim who inquired of Al-Queda and various imams things he could do to help the Jihad. 

How long is it going to take for liberals to wake up from their nanny state, politically correct stupor to realize that we are at war with an enemy who glorifies murder and mayhem?   Then again, what do you expect from a commander in chief who has said he will stand with the Muslims should the winds shift in an ugly direction.   Given his Kenyan heritage and upbringing in Muslim controlled Indonesia, this is no surprise which should again give rise to great concern for those who love America and what it stood for until liberals began to decimate this once great nation. 

The bigger issue is what will happen next?   How many attacks by radical Muslims will it take before we stand up and take back our country?   How many innocent Americans will be searched by the Keystone Cops at security checkpoints who stand idly by as those who fit the terrorist profile simply walk to their next flight? How many laws will be passed to ban Christianity while forbidding any prohibitions whatsoever against Islam? Again, we only need to look to Europe to see the destruction wrought upon society by the scourge of radical Islam where entire nations are being taken over and Sharia law is being instituted. Then again, if liberals looked to Europe they would realize that their entire tax and spend, nanny state, coddling terrorists agenda is doomed to fail. 

The true criminals in the Fort Hood massacre are not only the killer, but also those who stood idly by and did nothing. Any member of the government who knew of or should have known of the radical tendencies of Nidal should be prosecuted for the murders of these innocent members of our military. A crime of political correctness was committed and those who violated the tenets of human decency by not acting on what they knew must be held accountable.   This is precisely why political correctness must be made a crime with severe punishments because the bottom line is that being PC is, in and of itself, a hate crime against humanity.

It is quite amusing watching the mainstream media try to spin yesterday’s Election Day repudiation of Obama, his policies and liberalism in general.   In Virginia, Republicans swept the electoral columns, in New Jersey a Republican won in a state that voted for Obama with a fifteen point advantage and in Maine, Neil and Bob won’t be able to tie the knot. 

Where do we begin? Possibly in upstate New York where Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman garnered only 46% of the vote.   The pundits are spinning this as a blow to the Republican party but let’s examine the truth.   The 23^rd Congressional district of New York in upstate New York and adjacent to liberal Vermont was not going to be a cakewalk for a political unknown from an obscure party.

The GOP, wrongfully thinking they had to move to the left to win, selected Dede Scozzafava, a pro choice, pro union, liberal Republican to run against attorney Doug Owens.   In New York, there is also a Conservative Party that is recognized of which Hoffman was a member. Upset at the selection of Scozzafava who is more liberal than most Democrats, a grass roots effort to elect Hoffman, got underway.   This past weekend Scozzafava withdrew from the race and asked her supporters to vote not for Hoffman, but for Democrat Owens.   That said, the fact that this uknown political outsider got 46% of the vote is truly amazing and yes, is a repudiation of the status quo.

Now onto New Jersey where Chris Christie, a Republican, defeated incumbent Jon Corzine despite heavy support from B. Hussein himself.   In Virginia, Robert McDonnell won, which is a stinging blow to liberals because he is also a fiscal and social conservative. 

Onto Maine where proponents of same sex marriage were pinning their hopes on the first win of a popular vote on this silly concept.   They lost, just as they have lost in each and every state where a vote has been put to the general public.   More importantly, this sends a message to the politicians who used their power to enact the legislation against the will of the people earlier this year.   Isn’t it amazing how when ludicrous and insidious liberal ideas are put to the test they always lose; without fail. 

To all you sensitive liberals out there, this isn’t gay bashing but rather common sense. Remember, if we were to redefine marriage for one group of people we have to redefine it for all in order to escape being labeled as hypocrites.   This would open up the door for polygamy, incestuous marriages and bestialitynuptials. 

There is no way to spin this as anything less than a complete repudiation of the liberal ideology being put forth in Washington. Americans are sick of it and more than anything sick of Congress not listening to the will of the people despite millions of protesters throughout the past few months demanding change.   The results of this election should send a clear message that liberals are headed in the wrong direction and if they don’t heed this warning there could be a complete bloodletting on Congress in 2010.   My hope is that they don’t listen and continue down the beaten path towards socialism so that we can bring about true change in 365 days.

I suppose it is only apropos that the nightmare on K Street begin on the eve of Halloween.   The Democrats, fulfilling a promise to destroy healthcare and bankrupt our nation, have come up with the most insidious legislation in the history of the Republic. 

Containing over 400,000 words in 1,990 pages, their healthcare bill doesn’t even use the word doctor.   It is page upon page of legal mumbo jumbo that Nancy Pelosi and her ilk have graciously agreed to post on the internet for all to read.   But you better read quick because they are planning a vote for next week! Considering that the Torah contains only 80,000 words and takes a typical synagogue congregation a year to read how do you suppose the Democrats will justify a vote in five days? Simple; they have no intention of reading the bill.  

The CBO is putting the cost of this bill, which by the way doesn’t even provide coverage for every American, at $1.05 TRILLION dollars!   Not a million, not a billion…but a trillion dollars.    To put this in perspective, the U.S. government in 2006 took in $1.04 trillion in TOTAL tax revenue.    Since then, taxes have gone up, so revenue has gone down which is a concept still foreign to liberals. 

This bill contains a tax increase and puts taxes on the path to reaching new highs not seen since the failed days of Jimmy Carter.   This will result in a tax upon every American who works because there is no other way to pay for this insidious piece of legislation that runs counter to everything that American stands for. Simply put, those who vote for this legislation should be brought up on charges of treason, because this type of generational theft is not only un-American but it is criminal. 

If I walked up to you, pointed a gun at your head and stole your wallet I would go to jail.   That is exactly what the government is doing, creating massive penalties for those who don’t play by the rules in this ponzi scheme that makes the crimes of Bernie Madoff seem like misdemeanors.  

Making matters worse, this bill was crafted in a closed door session involving one political party. So much for the bipartisanship promised during teleprompter laden campaign speeches.   What is occurring in Washington will be seen through the prism of history as tantamount to the rise of Marxism in the Soviet Union and Nazism in Germany.   It is a government that has overstepped its bounds and usurped the will of the people for its own political gain and power.

We have a chance to do something and we have one year to get prepared to do it.   Every person who votes for this bill needs to be removed from office.   Every person who does not openly voice dissent also needs to be removed from office.   Every two years we have the power to engage in a revolution at the ballot box and it is high time that we did just that.  

We need to kick those in Congress who have so little regard for the American people and Constitution to the curb and start over.   We need to take back the reins of government from those who seek to undo two hundred plus years of greatness.   It’s time for accountability to find its way inside the beltway and for this who have failed the American people, such as Nancy Pelosi and her ilk, to be called out for their insidious actions.

In a move that can only be described as 21^st century McCarthyism, Rush Limbaugh has been dropped from a group of investors seeking to by the St. Louis Cardinal’s NFL franchise.   According to his former partners, his involvement has become a distraction.  It has only become a distraction because the mainstream media made it a distraction. 

According to the folks at CNN, The Treason Times and the rest of the alphabet networks, Limbaugh is a racist. Of course their calls are without merit and actually border on slander.   I wonder if there would have been the same reaction had avowed racists such as Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton attempted to by an NFL franchise.    I thought so; again exposing the hypocrisy of modern day liberals.

The entire brouhaha stems from an ESPN stint Limbaugh did in 2003 during which he said, "I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well." I’m not sure why there was an outcry because this statement is fact.   The NFL has a history of kowtowing to race pimps, in particular when it comes to quarterbacks and coaches.   Of course, this statement sparked the ire of a liberal who was outraged that anyone dare exercise their first amendment rights and Limbaugh was fired.  

Clearly what we are seeing today is a push by the radical left to ostracize a successful conservative voice of reason.   Liberals hate Limbaugh because he is successful and they cannot understand how he has become the most listened to voice on the airwaves.    As is evidenced by their patronizing of real Americans with their actions on the healthcare and illegal alien fronts, they don’t understand that they are the minority.    Whether you like Limbaugh or not, the fact remains that he voices what most true patriots think, but are afraid to say.  

We don’t like excessive government and believe that it is the root of all problems facing this nation.   This is a factual statement to which there is no rebuttal.   We live our lives according to the principles established by our forefathers, placing family and God above all else.   Again, there is no refuting this.   We are outraged at the massive power grabs by the current administration and his axis of evil in Congress; again, there is no disputing this fact either.  

What we truly should be concerned about are people like Limbaugh getting persecuted by those who disagree with his positions.   Even more concerning are the lies and distortions being perpetuated by the media. My hope is that Limbaugh strikes back with every weapon in his arsenal against everyone at every network who is vilifying him.   He needs to seek monetary damages because this persecution has hit him squarely in the bankroll.  

While Democrats refuse to publish the contents of their insidious healthcare take over, we do know a few things.   Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has said that this bill will never come before the Senate in its current form while the unions and Joe Lieberman are opposed to the contents.   Simply stated, this is a one trillion dollar takeover of our individual rights by an increasingly imperialist federal government in need of serious change.   The problem that we are facing is an administration and a political party that are so bent on creating this massive entitlement that they could care less what it contains, as long as something is passed; even the current bill that will still leave 25 million Americans with no health insurance.  

The silver lining is that with each passing day, Americans are growing ever more weary of what may be up the Democrats sleeves.   They are finally beginning to realize that this isn’t about us, but rather about a generations old goal of establishing more government power inside the beltway.   For you liberals who still don’t get it; this type of liberal fascism is what drives the tea party movement. 

The unfortunate thing is that there are elements of discussion on healthcare reform that are worth having.   There is no question that our system is not perfect, albeit better than just about any other on earth.   Rather than pass a 1000 page transfer of wealth, Congress could actually gain credibility by focusing on five essential elements that would lower costs, enabling more people to afford to by coverage. 

1-      1. Tort Reform is the single biggest cause of the high cost of insurance.   Frivolous lawsuits abound and it is time to reign in the trial lawyers which isn’t likely to occur when they are among the biggest contributors to the Democrat Party.  Include in this reform loser pays laws that holds both the plaintiff and their counsel legally liable for attorney fees and costs associated with frivolous actions. 

2-      2. Interstate purchasing and transfer of medical coverage would allow for competition among all fifty states.   There are states, such as Alabama, where a few insurers have a virtual monopoly. By freeing up the constraint, we could see costs of coverage dramatically reduced. 

3-      3. Pre-existing conditions are an area that continues to be a bone of contention. While not applicable in group policies, they do apply in individual policies, where underwriting can be overly draconian.   On one hand this is insurance and we certainly wouldn’t expect an insurer to provide a new policy for someone whose house burned down last week. However, we have to balance the realities of underwriting with providing healthcare at the lowest possible cost with the highest possible quality.   What would make sense is to create a portability clause so that coverage can remain with people, who could take it from job to job.   By creating an ownership by individuals rather than employers, people can be accountable for their coverage and have the benefit of a policy without facing excessive underwriting scrutiny as long as they take responsibility to ensure that the policy remains in force.

4-      4. Further promoting tax free medical savings accounts is a way to provide Americans with cash often needed for medical policies and care.   Everything associated with the cost of medical policies and procedures should be tax free.    By creating a dollar for dollar tax reduction in tax liability, we would enable millions to purchase coverage that they need, which would take a large burden off the system.  If we can spend a trillion dollars on a democrat plan that changes virtually NOTHING, we can certainly spend a fraction of that to benefit business owners and hard working employees.

5-      5. No free benefits for illegal aliens.   If you are here illegally then you are breaking the law.   Illegal’s know that they can cross the border and squeeze out babies who are given automatic citizenship.   We need to turn off the free care. If you are an illegal who shows up at a medical facility, you are to be detained and returned to your homeland.   If you have a medical condition that is a life and death situation, then treatment can be provided and you will become a ward of the state until your debt has been paid back by your providing community service, picking up trash on the streets or cleaning up graffiti.   If you don’t like it, don’t come to America. 

In looking through the piece of garbage being put forth by the Senate Finance Committee, I am seeing very little in the way of things that will matter or make a difference. As usual, this group of political elitists is trying to appease some lobbying groups while doing nothing to benefit us.  

As for supporting this bill, it is now more important than ever to voice our opposition. This bill will change nothing for hard working Americans, other than further driving up our health care costs in the form of new mandates.    Then again, did you really expect those inside the beltway to care about you or I?

Until last week, criticizing Barack Obama  simply made you a racist; at least according to Jimmy Carter.      This week, suggesting that he wasn’t deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize makes you a terrorist according to DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse.   He said, "The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists - the Taliban and Hamas this morning - in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize..”

As is par for the course, Woodhouse, like most liberals just doesn’t get it.   If this ridiculous award were about peace then why didn’t Ronald Reagan receive the award for freeing the millions shackled by communism? Why didn’t George W. Bush receive it for freeing 50 million, in two nations, from Islamic fascism?   The answer is simple; it’s about a liberal, Marxist agenda and has absolutely nothing to do with freedom, liberty or human rights, which explains why both Jimmy Carter and Al Gore have won this award.    The only shock is that ACORN, NOW and NAMBLA haven’t yet been recipients. 

Once again, we see the epitome of liberal hypocrisy from the very people who bow at the altar of Islamic fascism on a daily basis while deriding real Americans who seek economic freedom and individual liberty.  For Woodhouse to call conservatives terrorists is tantamount to Obama calling conservatives Marxists.  The rhetoric the facts just don’t make sense; then again liberalism has never been about making sense. It’s been about liberalism which is rooted in nonsensical hypocrisy.  

Plain and simple Obama has done nothing to deserve any type of award, especially when it comes to promoting peace as he is escalating a war in Afghanistan.   He is so eminently unqualified to receive this award that it has become a mockery outside of the walls of CNN.  He has literally become the laughingstock of the world outside the confines of insulated academia.  This pathetic award once again reinforces how shallow and uninformed liberals have truly become.   

The truth is that Obama’s actions have undermined the peace process more than any free world leader in history, including Neville Chamberlain.   He is emboldening Iran and North Korea to develop nuclear weapons and then encouraging them to use these weapons by doing such things as removing the eastern European missile shield.   His support of terrorists from the caves of Kabul to the ruins of Nasrallah has put Israel on edge for possible attacks that could destroy our one ally in the Middle East.   His coddling of terrorists at Club Gitmo has virtually assured a domestic attack at some point during his presidency. Obama’s not about peace but rather stupidity and naiveté that has become a pillar of the modern day liberal movement. 

Why was he given this award? Pandering, plain and simple.   Five socialist Norwegians were enamored by Obama’s ability to apologize to the world for everything that makes America great.   The mere fact that Obama got an award that is basically not representative of peace or freedom reflects how out of touch both the peace process and Barack Obama are with real Americans.  

As a consolation prize for failing to land the 2016 Olympic Games, Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.   I guess his apologies to the world on behalf of the emasculated Americans who elected him (with a little help from ACORN) were heartfelt and apparently graciously accepted.  

While the mainstream media is all giddy about this nonsensical award, it’s important to put this into context.   If you recall, Al Gore won this same award for his bogus claims of global warming; Kofi Annan won as the result of his food for oil scam.   As if this isn’t embarrassing enough, recall that Jimmy Carter, the single worst president in the history of America (until today) won this award in 2002.  

I’m not quite sure where to start, but I guess we can begin with qualifications.    The nomination for this award were due 11 days after the Chosen One took office.  I don't really recall him doing much of anything during those eleven days, other than propose a smorgasboard of nanny state welfare programs to bankrupt our nation.   We certainly know that he did nothing before he was elected, other than prance around amidst the downtrodden crack addicts, pimps and ho’s on Chicago’s South Side, pretending to be one of them; at least when he wasn’t hanging out in the living room of terrorist Bill Ayers or the pews at Jeremiah Wright’s church.  

So for a guy who lacks the credentials to be so much as a school crossing guard, what did he do to earn this Nobel Peace Prize?   He has coddled terrorists and criminals alike.  He bows at the altar of big government being the solution to all while worshipping  the ground that illegal aliens walk on, especially on Election Day. He has spoken of meeting with Iranian thug Mahmoud Ahmedinejad without precondition and while Iran is building nukes, he seeks to disarm America and Europe.   He spent our tax dollars to travel the world, emitting untold amounts of carbon into the atmosphere, to say he was sorry for the greatness of America and our people.   He speaks of one world, apparently run by the United Nations, where everyone gets to share the wealth of those who actually work for it.   This isn’t worth of a peace prize, but rather a surrender prize.   In fact, it is worth of this week’s Golden Pansy Award. 

To stand before the world and to apologize for economic freedom and individual liberty is not only wrong, it is down right un-American.   To not extol the virtues of self reliance and rugged individualism, the key characteristics of our forefathers who made this country great is unconscionable.   Aside from his blatant lack of qualifications to receive any award, the bigger issue is the reason why his fellow nanny state elitist liberals bestowed this upon him.  

I wonder what his excuse will be? Most likely that it was George Bush’s fault for alienating the world.   It couldn’t be that Chicago’s reputation for crime, violence and unpredictable weather played any part in this decision.   It couldn’t be that perhaps the rest of the world just isn’t that enamored with Mr. Obama, and are beginning to see him as the failure that we have come to know?

My money is on racism; yes, it must have been racists who made the decision.   I’m sure Jimmy Carter would like to weigh in on this discussion.  

Too bad ACORN is under investigation, as I am sure they could have plied the IOC with drugs, alcohol and prostitutes, a long and proud Chicago tradition used to influence decisions.   Then again, maybe using Rahm Emmanuel to deliver each IOC member a horse’s head would have sufficed. 

I wonder how much criticism the chosen one will receive from the media?   It’s bad enough that he couldn’t close the deal; it’s even worse that Chicago finished dead last in the running, losing out to a host city where the summer olympics will actually take place during their winter.    Seriously, Des Moines would have had a better chance of getting the Olympics than Chicago after Obama’s pathetic showing.  

It must be really bad when the Treason Times puts out an article entitled “Europe’s Socialists Suffering Even in Downturn”.   In their worst performance in Germany since the 1940’s, the socialist party got just 23% of the vote.   Could it be that the idiot electorate is finally beginning to realize that the Great Recession of today was caused by socialist policies including excessive taxation, regulation and nanny state oversight?

Even in nanny state France, the breadbasket of euro-weenies, the direction of the country is moving to the right.   Ditto for England, Italy and Spain and eventually right here in the United States. I have to admit it is an uphill battle, as those of us with common sense are constantly having to fight the lies of the mainstream media and Hollywood elite.   It’s not possible to hold a conversation based on fact and logic with liberals, because liberals are inherently illogical and more often than not suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome.  

Perhaps things are about to change, and not the kind of change that bankrupts our nation for generations to come.   Even the left most polls are showing that Obama’s popularity is now below 50%.   Consider that the likes of AP typically poll Democrats at a rate of about 2 to 1.   They also skew their polling to places like California, New York and Kenya where Obama remains popular.

In zip codes where people work for a living, Obama’s popularity is below 30%.   The popularity of Congress is even lower, hovering in the teens. Watching the evening news one would not think that this administration was doing anything wrong.   The likes of CNN and the alphabet networks do everything in their power to sugarcoat any publicity that may be bad for Obama and the liberal/socialist agenda.   They have to; after all he was their creation, manufactured like a 21st century version of Weird Science.

The truth is that socialism has been withering on the vine since its inception.   It was a failure in the U.S.S.R. and across Europe. It has failed in Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea. Even in China, the socialist leaders have adopted capitalist principles.   So what’s the liberal answer? How about having Michael Moore create an anti-capitalist movie which will be nothing more than the latest sequel in his science fiction series.  

Socialism will always fail because you cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.   You can’t effectively take from the producers and give the entitlement class without causing a revolution, which is where we are headed.   Hopefully this will go no further than the ballot box, but liberals throughout history and across the globe are notorious for rigging elections to retain power, so who knows what will ultimately occur.  Will America become a banana republic reminiscent of Nicaragua and Chicago, or will sanity prevail with liberals being cast aside. 

What we do know is that the people who matter in America, the producers of goods and services, are not happy.   These are the very small business owners being punished by the Obama agenda of tax increases who in turn are forced to lay off employees.   These are the people who buy durable goods, but no longer can afford them.   Ultimately something has to give, and apparently the Washington establishment doesn’t appear willing to discuss steps that we can take to fix what they have broken.  

Stay tuned, because the next year could get very interesting if liberals don’t wake up to rising sentiment of anger amongst real Americans.

Contrary to what the mainstream media would have you believe, liberals are pushing hard to provide access to healthcare for illegal aliens.   According to an article in the Washington Times, Michael Honda, a California Democrat, is sponsoring legislation that would provide access to these gate crashing criminals. Here’s a novel idea, how about sponsoring legislation to make the punishment for coming here illegally twenty years on a chain gang picking up trash and cleaning up the graffiti caused by other illegals…and if you happen to get sick we will give you a one way ticket back to Mexico where you can capitalize on that countries free healthcare.  

If Democrats are going to capitulate to the illegal alien lobbyists, I wonder what they will do when Iran completes their first nuke.   As a show of defiance to the world, it is being reported by Reuters India that Iran is testing some short range missiles that have the ability to reach Israel.   It’s no secret that Iranian thug Mahmoud Ahmedinejad has said that he wants to wipe Israel off the face of the earth.   It’s also no secret that he is actively developing nuclear weapons.   Of course the Democrats in Washington will do nothing, because they live to bow at the altar of Islamic fascism.   Perhaps it’s time for Israel to flex their muscle and turn Tehran into a parking lot with a half life of a generation. 

In other news, Bill Clinton came out this weekend in support of gay marriage.   I guess this should come as no surprise, as many of us have often questioned Hillary’s gender.   The question for Clinton, and all liberals who support marriage for gays is whether or not they support marriage for any alternative lifestyle.   After all, you can’t support marriage for some alternative lifestyles, and not all, without being hypocritical.  There are many types of deviant behavior and according to the liberal mantra, who are we do judge.   Using the logic that liberals espouse for gay marriage, then polygamy should be legal, as should marriages between a father and daughter, pedophile and prey or master and dog.  

While we are on the topic of pansies, ABC news is reporting that Obama has freed three more of his brethren from Club Gitmo, including one who was sent back to the Islamic fascist hotbed of Yemen. Why not just give them some free flying lessons and the keys to a 747?  

The failures of this administration continue to mount.   Is it even possible for them to do anything right? From the economy to foreign policy they are on the wrong side of everything, ensuring that the recession will linger and our national security will continue to be threatened.   It is just a matter of time until unemployment hits 15%.    We can probably count the days before Islamic fascists attack somewhere in the United States. Then again, when you are a hollow eyed, delusional liberal, these kind of things just don’t matter because there are more important things to do, like letting Neil marry Bob and giving free healthcare to Jose and his family of illegals.

America had the perfect opportunity to be the hero or the goat yesterday before the UN.   It was bad enough that this gathering of thugs, including Fidel Castro, Moammar Quaddafi and Mahmoud Ahmedinjad, were in our homeland.   What made matters worse, was our very own president embracing an apologetic tone towards the world for our transgressions of spreading freedom and liberty.

He spoke of evil Americans who drive cars that spew carbon into the atmosphere.   He demonized of military for freeing the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.   He demeaned Israel, while extolling the virtues of the pro-terrorist Palestinian state.   He was embraced by Fidel Castro and Quadaffi referred to him as “my son”.   The speech given by Obama was as much of a disgrace as the anti Semitic rhetoric spewed by Quadaffi and Ahmedinejad.  

What should have happened yesterday was an orchestrated, covert operation between the NSA, the CIA and military intelligence.   In one fell swoop we could have cleaned up the world’s human debris who gathered at the United Nations for their annual “We Hate America” assembly, where they plot such things as global taxes, currencies and a new world order.   Simple things like car crashes, muggings or other staged events could have done  more in one afternoon than we will be able to do in the next three generations.   What would the world think of such accidents?   I don’t know; but perhaps Canada and England’s delegations walking out on Ahmedinejad gives us a good indication. 

I am sure the elitist liberals would disagree with such an approach, because they worship despots.   Since the days of Jimmy Carter breaking bread with Edi Amin, liberals have been infatuated and envious of those who have created an environment of suffering and human rights violations, so much so that they are trying to emulate it right in our own country with bans on guns, God and free speech.

Like most Americans with common sense (read those who did not vote for Obama)I am not in favor of despots and dictators.   They are illegitimate regimes installed with power and intimidation rivaled only by the tactics at ACORN.   They need to all be removed from power because every human being is entitled to the basic rights of freedom.   So instead of apologizing for our great nation, perhaps Obama could have done the right thing and told them that their days were numbered while extolling, instead of condemning, American exceptionalism. 

He could have told Iran that if they don’t stop trying to produce a nuclear bomb, we will use our own arsenal to wipe their terrorist state off the face of the earth.   Ditto to Kim Jong Il and anyone else who dare try to attack our way of life.   He could have told Castro and Chavez that human suffering will no longer be tolerated.   His message to the despots in Africa should have been an ultimatum to free their people or face the wrath of our military.  Instead he praised despotism with promises to reduce our nuclear arsenal during a time of war.   While Columbia professors, Nancy Pelosi and Osama Bin Laden may have been beaming with pride at such idiocy, the rest of us should be scared to death as his speech truly reflects undertones that are downright unpatriotic. 

Again, we are seeing Obama’s true colors which are anything but red, white and blue.   He continues to put his narcissistic goals and agenda before the good of the country.   His poll numbers continue to decline with a new Rasmussen poll showing that he has become even more polarizing than president Bush which is cause for concern; as that would mean that there are actual intellectually challenged people in our nation who put style over substance.   So what happens when we have another 9/11? If Obama keeps up his apologetic tone, it’s just a matter of time which will be another I Told You So moment.
