Obama's chickens... come home to roost

Why is it that the Liberals scream foul when regular Americans demonstrate their 1st Amendment right and protest against their liberal policies. I watched 8 years of that from the left during the Bush administration. I find it a little hypocritical when I see Pelosi or Gibbs (Family Guy) calling it "astroturf." I honestly don't think that the left thought they would see this much dissention from the public. The beauty of this is, as the left keeps insulting the American people, the American people are becoming more enraged. They will show up and confront the representatives on every occasion. They are worried... The President sees his healthcare dream (our nightmare) going down the tubes. We must keep up the pressure on the representatives, the administration is attempting to discredit the uprisings. I am so proud of the people exercising their rights as Americans. It is truly inspirational. There is so many things we can do, call your representatives,(I called mine and voiced my opinion) email, twitter, attend the meetings, join a group, start a group and so on. If we sit on our hands, they will slide this by us. We cannot let this happen.
Below is a list of the Liberal insults from notorious liberal elitists (paraphrased):
Barack Obama- the ones that are protesting are the ones who caused it. They need to shut up. Let me do what I have to do.
Nancy Pelosi- said protest are illegitimate because a person held up a sign with a swastika with Obama's picture under it.
Harry Reid- Phony healthcare protests are astroturf and not grassroots.
Dick "Turban" Durbin- He doesn't hold meetings, they shouldn't fall for these sucker punches.
Robert Gibbs- calls protesters "Brooks Brothers Brigade" and they are a small group seeking to create "manufactured anger."
Barbara Boxer- That people are "storming these townhall meetings" and that the protesters are well dressed and "this is all organized."
Diane Feistein- Refused to speak with Seniors outside her office in SF and called the police on them.
Specter- "We need to get this things done in a hurry,"

The "elitists politicians have such contempt for the regular American citizen. Our founding fathers founded our Government with the representatives' duty to listen to their constituent's concerns. They work for us, on our behalf. I honestly believe these Debutantes think that we should just go along with whatever they decide. This has been a enormous wake-up call! Keep up the pressure, don't stop, you are making a huge difference. Don't be concerned about Obama's henchmen (Union thugs and Acorn punks) showing up, they cannot stop this wave of protest.
I've noticed an "effervescence of energy" from the citizen protesters and this is what the left doesn't want to confront.

Question of the day:
Since the American people have been asked to "sacrifice." Why is Congress purchasing more than $500,000,000 in new jets? The Pentagon and administration said they don't need them. Isn't it a little hypocritical after lambasting the Automobile CEO's for using corporate jets? They can stop spending our money anytime they want. It isn't an addiction... or is it? Can you say Government Morality?

A Good Day for the Marines

As I watch the news on any of the local or cable channels, I hardly see any information concerning the wars we are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. In the last week, I've only seen bad news, the killed in action (KIA), casualties and how bad our strategy is. I never see any documentation on what a wonderful and dedicated job our men and women do who don our country's uniform? I guess that isn't news? If it wasn't for them, the news media wouldn't be as free to do what they do. An excellent example, take a look at Iran at this time. They are prosecuting the protesters still to this day and there isn't any media coverage allowed. In contrast, I saw a petition on the internet to give Michael Jackson the Nobel Prize? Is that not a stretch? Why not give a military person the same attention? Don't our fighting men and women deserve more than a 20 second soundbyte? I think so. Below is a terrific "good news" story that I was honored to post. I have a vested interest, my son is a U.S. Marine.

What a great story! Thanks to starkeeper for passing it along.

Outnumbered 8-1: 'A good day for the Corps'

By Peter Bronson

"Our vehicles came under a barrage of enemy RPGs (rocket propelled grenades) and machine gun fire. One of our humvees was disabled from RPG fire, and the Marines inside dismounted and laid down suppression fire so they could evacuate a Marine who was knocked unconscious from the blast." That's not from an episode of The Unit or 24. It's not from an anti-war movie. It's not from any newspaper or TV news reports I could find.

The quote comes from a "designated marksman who requested to remain unidentified." He was reporting what happened recently in the city of Shewan , Afghanistan . The story was told in a Marine Corps News report by Cpl. James M. Mercure. It will give you goose bumps and make you want to stand up and salute the nearest flag. Here's more, because it's a lot better than anything I could write today:

"The day started out with a 10-kilometer patrol with elements mounted and dismounted, so by the time we got to Shewan, we were pretty beat," the marksman said. Mercure reported, "Shewan had been a thorn in the side of Task Force 2d Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force Afghanistan throughout the Marines' deployment here in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, because it controls an important supply route into the Bala Baluk district. Opening the route was key to continuing combat operations in the area."

"The vicious attack that left the humvee destroyed and several of the Marines pinned down in the kill zone sparked an intense eight-hour battle as the platoon desperately fought to recover their comrades. After recovering the Marines trapped in the kill zone, another platoon sergeant personally led numerous attacks on enemy fortified positions while the platoon fought house to house and trench to trench in order to clear through the enemy ambush site.

"The biggest thing to take from that day is what Marines can accomplish when they're given the opportunity to fight," the sniper said. "A small group of Marines met a numerically superior force and embarrassed them in their own backyard. The insurgents told the townspeople that they were stronger than the Americans, and that day we showed them they were wrong."

"During the battle, the designated marksman single handedly thwarted a company-sized enemy RPG and machinegun ambush by reportedly killing 20 enemy fighters with his devastatingly accurate precision fire. He selflessly exposed himself time and again to intense enemy fire during a critical point in the eight-hour battle for Shewan in order to kill any enemy combatants who attempted to engage or maneuver on the Marines in the kill zone.

What made his actions even more impressive was the fact that he didn't miss any shots, despite the enemies' rounds impacting within a foot of his fighting position. "I was in my own little world," the young corporal said. "I wasn't even aware of a lot of the rounds impacting near my position, because I was concentrating so hard on making sure my rounds were on target."

After calling for close-air support, the small group of Marines pushed forward and broke the enemies' spirit as many of them dropped their weapons and fled the battlefield. At the end of the battle, the Marines had reduced an enemy stronghold, killed more than 50 insurgents and wounded several more. "I didn't realize how many bad guys there were until we had broken through the enemies' lines and forced them to retreat. It was roughly 250 insurgents against 3 0 of us," the corporal said. "It was a good day for the Marine Corps. We killed a lot of bad guys, and none of our guys were seriously injured."

Such an amazing story of heroism and victory would have been on Page One in every paper in the country during World War II. Just 30 Marines giving eight hours of hell to 250 insurgents is the kind of story that would make a good movie -- if that kind of movie still could be made.


But these days, it did not even make Page 10. I couldn't find a story about it anywhere. The only mentions were on conservative blogs and military Web sites. The soldiers who are fighting for their lives and our country might as well be in another dimension. News from the battlefronts in Iraq and Afghanistan is apparently not important. It reminds the jaded anti-war crowd that they were wrong. We're winning. It reminds a self-centered nation that some Americans are making sacrifices much bigger than a loss in their 401(k)s.

So we don't hear about it.

But we need to hear news like that, because a good day for the Marine Corps is a good day for freedom. And that's a good day for America .

"Fortitudine" (With fortitude)
The first motto of the Corps antedating the War of 1812.

What goes around, comes around

I find it appalling how the Obama administration and the Democratic party are responding to the ardent opposition to Obamacare. If my memory is correct, Mr. Obama was a Community Activist before he started his political career. He would confront adversaries on issues he deemed important to the community and/or the country. Guess what, that is what the American people are doing to Mr. Obama's healthcare proposal. It's called the 1st Amendment! It is deceitful how the Obama sycophants are lying to the people at the Townhall meetings. Yes, I said lying, they know they can't muster support for this bill if they tell the truth. I have read the bill(s), and they are not telling the truth. Why isn't President Obama participating in the Townhall meetings. He doesn't want to deal with fielding tough questions from real Americans. He attends pre-arranged Townhall meetings with a set-up audience throwing softball questions. It is pathetic how the media (TASS, just kidding!) is degrading the American people, calling them "Astro turf" and "Brooks Brothers" types. (I don't believe Brooks Brothers donated to the Obama campaign) The Democrats know they are regular American citizens speaking out and protesting this administration's healthcare reform and the out of control spending in general. That scares them to death. Their socialistic ideology must be kept in secrecy because they know it will cause an uprising nationwide. Do not fret, we have the "lowdown" on their agenda and we don't want it. I am not saying that all of the Democrats are socialists, actually, that is a very small fringe (lunatic) of the Democratic party. They happen to be in charge at this time though. Below is a part of a 1944 speech by a prominent Socialist. I included this because I feel that this is happening in this country here and now.


A PROPHETIC 1944 SPEECH

Norman Mattoon Thomas (November 20, 1884 - December 19, 1968), and some

of us are old enough to remember him running for President, was a leading

American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the

Socialist Party of America .

Norman Thomas said this in a 1944 speech:

"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the

name of "liberalism," they will adopt every fragment of the socialist

program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without

knowing how it happened." He went on to say: "I no longer need to run as

a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party

has adopted our platform."

His Prophecy emerges 65 years later... If we let it! As I said previously, keep up the passionate opposition at these meetings. Please be courteous and peaceful. They would love for someone to get "out of control." It would make his media minions very happy. The American people are the United States of America. The politicians work for us. They are wrong to dismiss what we believe and to voice our opposition, Don't worry, Rahm won't come after you with his steel-toed ballerina slippers! LOL "Save our Republic."

"Be courteous to all, but intimidate with few; and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence."

Limited time offer!!! Turn in your neighbor, friends and family members for speaking out against Obamacare. email: flag@whitehouse.com to receive your free Schutzstaffel lapel pin! One per comrade. Other restrictions apply.
(This is a total fabrication.)

Big Brother Barry... is watching!

Everyday adds a new spin on the political machine of the Obama administration. I learned today that the White house is looking for information on anyone who speaks out against Obamacare. Yes, Big Brother is watching. They set up a website for this. I'm sure the ACLU will be all over this? Right? How often is the White House going to step into it. What happened to free speech? The 1st Amendment? In 2004, wasn't it Hillary Clinton screaming about if the Democrats/Liberals speak out about the Bush administration policies, it was 'patriotic' and "American." My, how things change in 5 years! What President Obama and Rahm Emanuel did in Chicago should have stayed in Chicago. Senator Byrd (D-WV) has sent a letter to the White House about the hiring of Czars. Senator Byrd said that "Obama's czars are dangerous." He noted that the numerous czars gives the President too much power. Darrell Issa, ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform-Republicans sent Rahm Emanuel a letter telling him to "back off." Emanuel has been running interference on the Republicans and strong-arming politicians to get their desired results. (From the Chicago Political Machine Handbook) Click on the link at the bottom. You know they are freaking out about the Townhall Meetings strong disagreement on the Government run healthcare plans. The American people are not stupid or incompetent. We have read over the healthcare bill(s). The citizens have read more of this bill than the representatives. Plainly put, the American people don't want it. The people that attend these meetings are not insurance company operatives, they are normal citizens, neighbors, friends that are fed up with the power grab and spend-crazy Government. The American people know that if we could limit the Government interference and regulation, take care of the immigration issue, reduce the abuse, fraud and waste in our health care system, initiate Tort reform and start the option of purchasing insurance policies across state lines would bring down the overall cost of health care dramatically. Hello politicians, do you hear us? What we really need to accomplish as the American people is to vote out the incumbent (career) politicians and vote in new intelligent, practical and common sense candidates. I am so sick of the Politician's condescending attitude towards the American public who disagree with them. Yes, there are healthcare problems, however, let's take it slow and work out a smart plan that isn't going to cost trillions. 78% say the passage of the reform will lead to higher taxes for the middle class.(Gallup) As I said in previous blogs, call your representatives and attend the "Townhall meetings." They do make a huge difference. Just ask a Democratic politician lately. "Save our Republic."

Death by Politician - Health Care Reform

I received an email and I couldn't believe what was in it. Detailed intentions of the now infamous healthcare reform bill. I will list the 45 lines for you to see what Congress is trying to pull over on the American people. This is only the first 500 pages! I don't care if you are right, left, Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or Independent, you need to research this on your own and see what they (Congress) want to do to our healthcare. It sounds worse than Britain's or Canada's social health care. Already across the country, the citizens are attending "Townhall Meetings" in masses and picketing the offices of their representatives. Get involved, call your representative and call whoever to find out where these events are being held. We all have a vested interest. We owe to ourselves. When you read the line items, OMG!! I'm waiting for the senior citizens to go off like never before.

That's only the first 500 pages! If the representatives do not read this complete bill, they should be relieved of their position for dereliction of duties. This is the most important piece of legislation we will have in our lifetime. The Government wants complete control over you and your family. However, I believe the American citizen is catching on to this charade. Don't allow this to happen to our great country. We owe it to the men and women who have died for this country, our children and ourselves. Whoever sent the email with this information already broken down to my father in law, Thank You! God Bless America!
