It's payback time!

There is still time to stop it but since the House already passed the huge "Obama Bailout Bill" along party lines, I have no doubt that the Senate will do the same. It was inevitable really. I knew that once Obama got in he would make sure that the Dems were able to exact revenge upon the GOP for all of their past frustrations and he is off to a good start. This $800 billion mess is nothing more than payback to the special interests that helped to put Obama in The White House.

He made sure that the "Mexico City Policy" which authorizes the government to use tax payer dollars to provide "birth control" services on a global basis was the VERY FIRST thing he signed. This was payback to the Pro-Choice, NARAL and Pro-Abortion crowd that helped him to get elected.

Among the funds within this bill is millions that is going to be given to the NEA for "arts and cultural" education and events. Thank you NEA, Hollywood, Broadway, etc for helping me to get elected as President. Here is your payback.

The list goes on and on and on. This thing is nothing but a big, fat, porky, pig that Obama is using to payback his supporters so that he can ensure they will continue to support him. The really disturbing fact is that MOST, 80% of the funds allocated will not be available for use until after 2010!! So how exactly is this going to be a "stimulus" plan if we are in a recession now? It's NOT! That's the dirty little secret. What is does do though is allow the Dems and Obama to position themselves well for re-election in the future. About the time that the funds start to really have any effect, which I doubt they will do regardless, Obama and his buddies will be getting ready to run for another term.

See, the real secret is this: all of this is being done for one reason and one reason only: power! The Dems and Obama want to make sure they have it and can keep it long enough to enact some of their largest social programs. Once they can get the people to start depending on the government for say FREE healthcare and college tuition, the people will grow comfortable, complacent and DEPENDENT which will allow them to do anything.

This "stimulus" bill is a huge mistake that our children will be paying for for generations to come. After all, we are about to "give away" $800 billion that WE DON'T HAVE! But hey, they say, just print some more money! Who cares if the inflation rate is in the double digits for years to come? Just keep giving the people what they want and they will learn to depend on us!!! That way they will never want to be without our assistance again...ever.

Slavery comes in many forms. Some by force and some without. We The People are allowing Obama and the Dems to willing enslave us and most people don't recognize it. Once the shackles are tightened around our wrists and ankles those who hold the keys will have complete control.

The "bloom" is off the rose

Well that didn't take long. I have been waiting for Obama to do this and he finally did. All throughout the campaign as people would shower him with accolades about being the "chosen one" he would tend to brush them off. After all, he is smart enough to know that eventually that would turn many people against him if he displayed an air of entitlement. However, now that he is in the Oval Office he appears to be ready to assert himself and cash in on that moniker.

At a recent White House meeting with Republican "leaders" ( and I use that term lightly) Obama made the comment "I won" when told that they had some concerns about the new stimulus package he is trying to get the Congress to pass. This comment tells me that he has no intentions of playing fair with the other side and with the Dems in control he plans to ramrod whatever he can through both Houses of Congress while he has the opportunity.

That comment also tells me that he plans to assert his new found "messiahness" to his advantage and belittle the GOP whenever given a chance. Make no mistake, there will be NO bipartisan cooperation with this White House that isn't coerced. Obama plans to bully the GOP into submission and he off to a great start.

My feeling is that at some point Obama will over-reach and will over-play his hand. His recent comments about Rush Limbaugh confirm this. According to the New York Post (and the headline on the DrudgeReport) Obama also said "You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done." Obama feels that he has so much political capital that he is untouchable and that he can do almost anything and get the approval of his "Obamacons". He's right too! These zombies will believe anything he says and they will give him a pass on just about anything he does. For now. Going after Rush Limbaugh is a big mistake and it's been tried before. Be careful Mr Obama, many have tried....and failed.

Even the media is starting to see that Mr Obama is signaling that when it comes to THIS White House things will NOT be business as usual. Obama used the media to disseminate his propaganda during the campaign to persuade the ignorant that he was NOT a liberal, socialist and that he was a new kind of politician. The media obeyed and did it's job (thank you Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, MSNBC and the list goes on) and they expected that there would be some kind of payback for their loyalty. Sorry, not in this administration. Just like everyone else the Mr Obama used to get to where he is he has left them behind.

I think we are going to see a very different President than we have see in a very long time in Mr Obama. He will aggressively, but cautiously, put forward HIS agenda and he will not compromise on anything. He will run roughshod over his enemies and he will have no mercy. After all, he is accountable to no one. His minions think he is a god and his critics are afraid of him. This is going to be interesting to watch and very dangerous for America!

Where is the outrage?

So you would think that as much as the Dem's and their allies in the Eco-activist world shout about global warming and saving the planet, when given the chance to demonstrate how serious they are about this cause they would go out of their way to really impress people. Right? Wrong! Instead they showed their true colors as most of us who don't believe in the "global warming" or "climate change" hoax knew they would eventually.

The Inauguration the other day was no doubt filled with Obama supporters who for the most part are also the very same people who shout the loudest about "global warming". So you would think that with the whole WORLD watching they would set a good example for their cause. have you seen the pictures of the aftermath of the gathering that took place? According to some reports the D.C Street workers who were assigned to clean up the mess have so far removed over 130 TONS of TRASH. Nothing says "save the planet" like trashing The Mall!! Everything from sleeping bags, socks, soda cups, coffee cups, Obama mementos (which they had to buy) and other assorted garbage was just left there for someone else to pick up. Now THAT is what I call caring for the planet.

On top of this there was also a record set the other day that no one wants to talk much about; especially Al Gore. The Inauguration of BHO will go down in history for many things. The most glaring fact being that it set the all-time record for the most PRIVATE JETS ever used for such an event. There was an estimated 600 small private jets (the kind that get really bad MPG and supposedly destroy the atmosphere) that inundated the DC Metro and have probably single-handedly made the "carbon footprint" in DC the worst it's ever been. You didn't think the Hollywood Elite would fly coach did you? After all this is THE party of the century!!

As with most things that Liberals and Democrats protest about this is just another example of their overall attitude when it comes to social, economic and "climate" issues. They don't necessarily plan to heed their own advice but they darn sure want to make sure you do!! This whole fiasco is a very good example of what you can expect for the next four years and from the Obama Administration and it's minions. The rallying cry shall go forth to all the people from this day forward: Do as I say, not as I do!!!

The Torch has been snuffed out

I keep hearing the media talk about the "torch being passed' to Obama today. Quite frankly, anyone who sees this man for what he truly is knows better than that. The torch isn't being passed as much as it is being snuffed out. No longer will America be the land of opportunity. From here on out we will be the land of opportunity that the Government says you can engage in. If not, no dice. We will no longer be a nation guided by the rule of law. Instead we will be guided by an activist Congress, an activist Supreme Court and a weak, but charismatic President that will be stuck in the middle. No longer will we be a country that practices Capitalism and Free Trade. Instead we will be a Socialist Republic with isolationist tendencies. As much as the media and the Obamessiah would like you to believe that we are entering a time of great promise in America, we are actually entering a time of great distress and danger. The very fundamentals that have kept this country strong for over two centuries are under attack.

The other day Obama said that we have an "imperfect Constitution but it could be perfect". What does that mean? Does he plan to change the sacred text that built this country? Does he think he has that kind of political capital? Be careful Mr Obama. Yes, you won the election and yes, you are making history but don't think there aren't those that will resist you in every way if you attempt to change this country radically. This is your day. Enjoy it. Tomorrow, Sir, you become accountable to We the People and "We" will be watching.

The Circus is Coming!!!

I hate to say this folks but if you aren't already, you need to prepare yourselves for a fantastic spectacle that will soon be unveiled. I'm talking about the Washington, D.C. Circus (aka the Government of the United States) because it's soon coming to a city/town near you. The way this is shaping up is magnificent!!! We will soon be under the governance of this circus and all its sordid cast of characters. Let's take a look at the performers, shall we?

Ladies and Gentleman and children of all ages....Your Master of Ceremonies...

Barack Obama-Soon, he will no longer be the President-Elect. In fact he will actually have to MAKE a decision and maybe, just maybe the MSM will hold him responsible for the outcome. The "messiah" will soon no longer be able to say "We only have one President in this country at a time" while shirking responsibility for the many difficult decisions that THIS President has had to make. Sure "W" didn't get it all right but no one has. He kept us safe for 7 years. For that alone he would get my vote again. How long will it be before we are attacked again..we shall see. The main reason Obama scares me is his record...or, um lack thereof. I STILL can't find a single Obama supporter that can tell me what this man has done. NOT ONE. The only thing they say, while their eyes are glazed over like some kind of zombie, is that "he inspires hope". WHAT? Are you kidding me? THAT'S a reason to vote for someone at one of the most critical times in this nation's history? So let me ask this question of you Obama supporter's: What if he ISN'T up to the task? What if he CAN'T do it? What then? Will Joe Biden burst onto the scene and rescue us all? This a very dangerous world and we don't have time for someone to get "OJT" or On the Job Training. And one more thing that you need to consider. Have you EVER know anyone that has come out of the Chicago Political Machine and NOT been dirty? Anyone?

If you will direct your attention now to the center ring....I give you the Lion Tamer...

Hillary Clinton-Just when we thought we were getting rid of the Clinton's, Obama did what I knew he would..he named Hillary Secretary of State. Payback? Appeasement? Who knows? I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for those conversations though!! Obama has no idea what he has done. But, just as all of those that serve the Clinton's eventually discover, he will have a rude awakening at SOME point down the road. For her part Hillary will be magnificent in this role. She'll try to be Golda Meir, Madeleine Albright and Margaret Thatcher all rolled up into one. She will be feared, she will be respected, she will be majestic! and she will be a disaster!!! If there is one thing that I have learned from watching the Clinton's in the last almost two decades is this: Hillary does what Hillary wants....period. She will test Obama also to see where her boundaries are. Will he have the courage to put her in her place? Doubtful. He has a problem standing up to strong women...look at his wife. Michelle Obama might be more of an adversary for Hillary and I would pay to see that. Just when we got the White House sterilized and back in order...the Clinton's are going back. Unbelievable.

Ladies and Gentleman, children of all ages...what would a circus be without the clowns?

Congress (both houses), is going to be a real joy to behold and quite frankly C-SPAN might soon become the "must watch T.V" network. When you combine Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank and now Al Franken together in one place your bound to have some fun. I still can't believe that the American People were stupid enough to allow the very same people who were MOST responsible for the "so called financial crisis" to get re-elected so that they could continue to destroy the very foundations of this country. Sure there is enough blame to go around on the GOP side as well but when you examine the main perpetrators there is NO doubt that the Liberal, Leftists in Congress PLANNED for this to happen or at the very least stood by and did nothing while they knew what was coming. The End Game? Socialism. Pure and simple. They knew that the People would never vote for it but if they knew that if they could enact it incrementally we would wake up one day and no longer recognize this country as a Capitalist country. That day is now. Sadly, due to the leftist influence in our education systems in the public sector, many Americans could not tell you what Capitalism is if you asked them. How then could they be counted on to protest against it's decline? The answer is: they can't. Welcome to the present day in America. Capitalism is slowly dying while Socialism and soon Marxism/Communism will take it's place. America the Free? For how long?

As you can see, this is truly a sight to behold and I for one am bristling with anticipation to see the absolute freak show that our government will turn into. You see folks, your vote DOES count and elections DO have consequences. Get comfortable, get your popcorn and get ready to enjoy the show. After all, it's the GREATEST show on Earth! Right?

The Israeli-Palestinian Double Standard

For the past week, the story that has dominated the worldwide news coverage has been the re-newed fighting in the Gaza Strip between Hamas and the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces). Israel apparently has had enough of Hamas reigning down rockets and mortars on it's people and has decided that they are going to wipe out Hamas's ability to do so. This however may prove to be a more daunting task than anyone thinks. After all, Hamas will always be able to get more rockets from Iran even if Israel destroys the ones they have now. The only way to solve this issue is to cut out the "cancer" that lives in Gaza and destroy Hamas completely. Whether or not Israel has the courage to do this remains to be seen.

What I find interesting though is how this conflict is perceived by the rest of the world and how it is portrayed by the MSM. The coverage that I have seen has been decidedly anti-Israeli and completely lays the blame for this conflict at their doorstep. Incredible as that may seem, if you are an observer of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict you know that Israel ALWAYS gets the blame. It matters not that Israel has shown GREAT restraint over the past year by NOT attacking Hamas despite the fact that nearly 4,000 rockets have been launched into Israel and the cities that border the Gaza strip. I wonder how many other countries of the world would tolerate that kind of daily bombardment as well as Israel has. My guess is none. And yet the world continues to blame Israel. Why? Because there is a double standard that exists within this conflict that will never be resolved.

You see, the world, the media specifically, still thinks Israel should not be there. They side with the Palestinians every time. The poor, poor Palestinians. Did you know that there has NEVER been a country in the history of the planet called Palestine? Did you know that before Israel claimed back her land and started to develop it the so-called region of Palestine was nothing but a desert region where nothing grew and no one lived. The Palestinians aren't even a people per se, they are just misplaced Arabs that no other Arab country in the region has claimed so that they can be used for political purposes. (For more on this do some research of the Ottoman Empire and how it was broken apart after WWII) The travesty of this whole thing is that Israel CAN co-exist with the Arabs of the region and longs to do so but the Arabs are the ones who refuse to compromise.

In the end, Israel will make some gains but will most likely lose the war of public opinion as even now the MSM and their surrogates are spinning this as an act of aggression that is unnecessary. The UN as well as the EU and Russia has called for Israel to end the conflict now despite that fact that Israel has a right to protect itself against it's enemies. Again, would Russia tolerate the Ukraine launching rockets into its territory every week and causing it's citizens to live in fear? I think not. If something like that were to take place Russia would invade the Ukraine and crush the opposing force. In other words they would do EXACTLY the same thing that Israel is doing now. The reason for the condemnation though is because of how the conflict is shaped in the media. The MSM and the World media want you to believe that the "big bully" Israel is going in "guns blazing" and wiping out the innocent Palestinians who only have rocks to fight back with. The truth however, is far different. Hamas is a well funded terrorist group that get's it's backing from Iran and is in effect an Iranian "proxy" that is fighting Israel. Don't forget that another Iranian proxy just fought the Israeli's in Lebanon not too long ago with much success. This organization, Hezbollah, is also thinking of entering this conflict by launching rockets with much greater range from the North. The idea is to cause Israel to fight on two fronts and cause them to split their forces. This could be very effective and is a good plan if you look at it from their point of view.

People need to realize that Israel is basically fighting for it's very existence here. They are fighting to re-establish that "deterrence factor" that they lost after the war in Lebanon.

As it is, Israel is surrounded by hostile regimes that have vowed to destroy them and "push them into the sea". These countries need to believe that a war with Israel would be devastating for them and a mistake and the "deterrence factor" would keep them from attacking her. The Israeli's fight because they HAVE to NOT because they want to. They only long to live in peace. I pray for the peace of Israel and it's people but I also know that this will not be, according to The Bible, until just before Jesus Christ comes again. If you want to know what's going on with God's plan for the world keep your eyes fixed on Israel for it is there that the "last days" of mankind will unfold.
