Fore! Golfing in the tall weeds with the big dogs. Having the time of his life, shooting hoops, appearing at fundraiser after fundraiser, eating the excellent fare at $3000 a plate. Life is good. Next scenario, you are hungry and cold, either laying in a Humvee, cave or hole you dug yesterday. MRE's are getting old and a hot shower would be golden. You lost one of your good friends three days ago and you feel like crap. Lately, you seem to be honoring a lot of your hero friends without end. Enough, our President spends more time with his media sycophants trying to undermine Fox news who is kicking butt on all of the other news platforms by leaps and bounds. I find it unconscionable to take all of this time to make a decision. Obama hired General McChrystal to rectify the deteriorating Afghanistan mission. Presently, he takes John (You know he served in Viet Nam) Kerry's or Rahm (Twinkle Toes) Emanuel's recommendations over a decorated General. Doesn't make sense to me. This isn't about Bush anymore, stop campaigning and do your job. Or is it because the Governor elections next week? This will be considered a referendum on the Obama administration. If Corzine and Deeds lose, Obama will not maintain the "star concept" and Bill Clinton will be called up from "Triple A." That would be a travesty. Then, there is the appalling speech he made two days ago in front of Sailors, campaigning on how he would not send them in harm's way without careful consideration, (paraphrased) in between the behind closed door healthcare meetings, high dollar fundraisers, golf outings and the party and gala circuit. We have lost 55 heroes this month to date. They need reinforcements. I say this with conviction, my son, a Marine could be one of the reinforcements. Talk is cheap, Mr. Obama, stand and deliver. Their lives are so much more important than who wins in New Jersey, Virginia or New York. I've discussed this topic with many veterans and the consensus was overwhelmingly send reinforcements, more boots on the ground. How can a pacifist/socialist understand the magnitude of such a paramount, time-sensitive mission. Most of the military pundits are scratching their heads, wondering what the White House's ulterior motives and delays are. I hate to say it, but, this is what happens when you elect a rookie politician with a political career as long as a coffee break. Support our troops or bring them home!

Dismantling America
By Thomas Sowell
Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?
Did you think that another "czar" would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers-- that is, to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?
Did you imagine that anyone would even be talking about having a panel of so-called "experts" deciding who could and could not get life-saving medical treatments?
Scary as that is from a medical standpoint, it is also chilling from the standpoint of freedom. If you have a mother who needs a heart operation or a child with some dire medical condition, how free would you feel to speak out against an administration that has the power to make life and death decisions about your loved ones?
Does any of this sound like America?
How about a federal agency giving school children material to enlist them on the side of the president? Merely being assigned to sing his praises in class is apparently not enough.
How much of America would be left if the federal government continued on this path? President Obama has already floated the idea of a national police force, something we have done without for more than two centuries.
We already have local police forces all across the country and military forces for national defense, as well as the FBI for federal crimes and the National Guard for local emergencies. What would be the role of a national police force created by Barack Obama, with all its leaders appointed by him? It would seem more like the brown shirts of dictators than like anything American.
How far the President will go depends of course on how much resistance he meets. But the direction in which he is trying to go tells us more than all his rhetoric or media spin.
Barack Obama has not only said that he is out to "change the United States of America," the people he has been associated with for years have expressed in words and deeds their hostility to the values, the principles and the people of this country.
Jeremiah Wright said it with words: "God damn America!" Bill Ayers said it with bombs that he planted. Community activist goons have said it with their contempt for the rights of other people.
Among the people appointed as czars by President Obama have been people who have praised enemy dictators like Mao, who have seen the public schools as places to promote sexual practices contrary to the values of most Americans, to a captive audience of children.
Those who say that the Obama administration should have investigated those people more thoroughly before appointing them are missing the point completely. Why should we assume that Barack Obama didn't know what such people were like, when he has been associating with precisely these kinds of people for decades before he reached the White House?
Nothing is more consistent with his lifelong patterns than putting such people in government-- people who reject American values, resent Americans in general and successful Americans in particular, as well as resenting America's influence in the world.
Any miscalculation on his part would be in not thinking that others would discover what these stealth appointees were like. Had it not been for the Fox News Channel, these stealth appointees might have remained unexposed for what they are. Fox News is now high on the administration's enemies list.
Nothing so epitomizes President Obama's own contempt for American values and traditions like trying to ram two bills through Congress in his first year-- each bill more than a thousand pages long-- too fast for either of them to be read, much less discussed. That he succeeded only the first time says that some people are starting to wake up. Whether enough people will wake up in time to keep America from being dismantled, piece by piece, is another question-- and the biggest question for this generation.

I wish Mr. Sowell would run for office.
"Fool on the Hill" statement:
"This lobbyist, this K Street whore, is trying to teach me about economics."
Alan Grayson, D-FL, a comment made a month ago from a radio interview posted online. Grayson is talking about an adviser to Ben Bernanke (Linda Robertson). Both democrats and republicans have spoke out against Grayson. Where are feminist groups? the ACLU? Jesse or Al? Oliver Stone? Sean Penn? Oprah?
Opposition to Obamacare: Call your representatives!
"We the people" must stop the Obamacare Proposals:I am formally asking (pleading) with you to muster up the initiative and enthusiasm to fight the healthcare bill that will emerge in the next couple of weeks. First, there are 5 bills (proposals) that will somehow be merged into one bill. Liberals are adamant about some form of "Public Option." (Government Run Option) I think the democrats believe they can push this bill through while we are sleeping. The democrats have blocked many bills that would allow the final bill to be posted on the internet 72 hours prior to a vote. Why? you know why. We must oppose this more than we did over the summer. Let them know, we are not against healthcare reform, just not a total makeover. Call and email your representatives. I have emailed and called mine so many times, they are referring to me by my first name. Write an old fashioned letter, it has a lot of importance. Attend your local tea parties and townhalls to voice your opinions and make a overwhelming presence. Below, is a little list how you can get involved. It is our civic duty. "It is our Country."
