Liars Unite in Support of Dictators Worldwide

clipper's remarks: Once again our fearless leader has chosen to align himself with a dictatorial tyrant. Apparently there is not a Constitution Obama likes. He has no regard for our own constitution and has shown a total disrespect for the Constitution of Honduras. The rule of law is not high on Obama's list of disciplines. He much rather support anarchists and lawlessness.

Or perhaps he sees a similar fate awaiting himself in the not too distant future.

Perhaps it is time we start to consider impeachment proceedings for high crimes and misdemeanors?

Don't believe the myth. The arrest of President Zelaya represents the triumph of the rule of law.

Tegucigalpa, Honduras - Sometimes, the whole world prefers a lie to the truth. The White House, the United Nations, the Organization of American States, and much of the media have condemned the ouster of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya this past weekend as a coup d'état.

In fact, what happened here is nothing short of the triumph of the rule of law.

Under our Constitution, what happened in Honduras this past Sunday? Soldiers arrested and sent out of the country a Honduran citizen who, the day before, through his own actions had stripped himself of the presidency.

Don't believe the coup myth. The Honduran military acted entirely within the bounds of the Constitution. The military gained nothing but the respect of the nation by its actions.

Bible Out but Koran is In

clipper's remarks: Okay now that the KORAN is considered a teaching aid how about we distribute BIBLES to state leaders and into schools to TEACH the bible to end hostilities and misunderstanding concerning Jews and Christians?

How far do you suppose that idea would go?

And to think there was a time in our history where the BIBLE was actually taught in school.

President Obama will soon receive a thank-you gift for his speech to the Muslim world in Cairo. Inspired by the address, in which Mr. Obama quoted the Koran, the Council on American-Islamic Relations plans to distribute 100,000 copies of the Koran to national, state and local leaders.

The council’s national executive director, Nihad Awad, said at a news conference in Washington today that the speech, in which Mr. Obama called for the end to mutual suspicion between Americans and Muslims, was “inspiring” and “historic.”

Over the next 10 years, the council plans to distribute one million copies of the text to the American public through its “Share the Quran”campaign.

“This project is pure education,” said Mr. Awad, who said the council was not attempting to proselytize.

“There must be a sustained effort to listen to each other; to learn from each other; to respect one another; and to seek common ground,” he said in his Cairo address

2.8 Million People Left Behind

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 23:54:54 GMT

clipper's remarks: Despite a year-long effort by the government, broadcasters and cable operators to warn people of the digital-TV switch, about 2.8 million households remained completely unprepared as of Wednesday, according to Nielsen Co.

Older Americans were more prepared than the national average, Nielsen found, but younger people and African-American and Hispanic households continued to lag behind.

Originally scheduled for February the conversion was postponed until Friday June 11th because Obama and Congress felt that TOO MANY were not prepared. Well guess what those same people were still not prepared.

I find the statistics interesting in the groups of people who were least prepared.

Apparently these slackers where hoping for yet ANOTHER DELAY.

They can not say they were not warned, And yet they still failed to prepare for the inevitable. That seems to be the nations Achilles heal sloth and lack of preparation.

Most American TV viewers have now gone all
digital. But it was a bit confusing for some yesterday when the
nation’s TV stations shut down their analog transmitters.
Nearly 700,000 people called a federal hot line this week.
About a third of the calls were about federal coupons to pay for
digital converter boxes.

The largest volume of calls came from the Chicago area, followed
by Dallas-Fort Worth, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

Research firm SmithGeiger said Thursday that about 2.2 million
households were still unprepared as of last week.

Obamanomics Goes Stateside

clipper's remarks: Just another FINE EXAMPLE of OBAMANOMICS in action. Take money from the working class and give to the POLITICALLY PROTECTED CLASS.

As Obama raped GM and Chrysler GOV Doyle is using the same pattern to rape the citizens of Wisconsin.

If you had any doubt about OBAMA's plans this certainly should open your eyes.

As many states struggle to close big deficits, they are also expanding the power of public employee and other unions. I guess the thinking is, "in crisis, there is opportunity."

Where have we heard that before?

Stephen Moore of the Wall Street Journal Political Diary takes a look at Wisconsin's efforts to elevate the public sector unions while trying to close a huge budget gap:

The new budget would increase use of the "prevailing wage law" -- the state version of the federal Davis-Bacon Act -- to discourage competition by non-union firms for public works projects. The law would also make it easier for labor to sign up workers on state contracts. Spending on health insurance and retirement benefits for public employees would be hiked by expanding eligibility to domestic partners, costing at least $15 million a year. The budget also makes it easier for home health-care workers to become eligible for collective bargaining.

Then there's a smorgasbord of new taxes to pay for it all.

Rabbi Takes Obama to School

Sat, 13 Jun 2009 03:03:16 GMT

clipped by: Eaglewings
clipper's remarks: In his almost hour-long speech, there is not a single word about Islam’s well known and checkered past.

Ironically, the American president offered plenty of references to what he sees are America’s evils, such as its “colonialism” and history of slavery.

“For centuries, black people in America suffered the lash of the whip as slaves and the humiliation of segregation,” Obama told his audience, citing a litany of American shortcomings. He failed to mention that Arab Muslims were the greatest slave traders in the history of humanity.

Mr. Obama even has the unbelievable gall, when talking about the treatment of Muslim women, to condemn Western countries for attempting to stop Muslim women from using the full facial cover, or hijab. This is a symbol of Muslim subjugation of women.

Obama said: “Likewise, it is important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit - for instance, by dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should

Just last week, Obama told his worldwide audience — more than 100 million people — that the killing of six million Jews during the Holocaust was the equivalent of Israel’s actions in dealing with the Palestinians.

While Obama acknowledged that “six million Jews were killed — more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today” — his discussion about the Holocaust was followed by this statement: “On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people — Muslims and Christians — have suffered in pursuit of a homeland.”

The immediate danger posed by Obama’s speech is in its incredible re-writing of the history of Jews, Christians and Muslims from Medieval times to the present.

Obama, continually throughout his speech, talks of Islam’s peaceful intent. And while there are certainly Koranic verses that support this interpretation, Islam has a long and bloody history of violence against fellow Muslims, Jews and Christians.

Dems Pro-choice Except for a child's Education

According to The Wall Street Journal, the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program currently provides vouchers to roughly 20,000 low-income students in order for them to attend better-performing schools -- public or private. The extremely popular program has been in existence for 20 years, but now -- thanks to Democratic lawmakers in the state -- the program is in jeopardy.

Lawmakers recently voted to cut payments to private schools by over $150 per student and increase public school funding by $400 per student. The Wall Street Journal also reports that taxpayer funding for the low-income minority students that attend private school through the voucher program is less than half the cost taxpayers spend on public school.

Only 42% of those who currently own a General Motors car are even somewhat likely to buy a GM product for their next car. That figure includes just 30% who are Very Likely to do so.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 43% of current GM owners are not likely to buy another GM car, while 16% are not sure.

Democrats who own GM cars are somewhat more likely than others to buy their next car from GM.

This data is the latest evidence of how steep a hill GM must climb as it hopes to increase sales and return to profitability. Only six percent (6%) of non-GM owners are now Very Likely to buy from GM.

Fifty-one percent (51%) of Americans nationwide say they are now more likely to buy a Ford since that company did not take any bailout funding. Only 12% are less likely to buy from Ford.

Whose Running Things? The Executives or the Judges?

clipper's remarks: Apparently the judges are at least in South Carolina. The Governor of the State was fighting stimulus money from Washington because of all the strings that were attached to the money which would effect the state adversely in later years. However his authority was overturned by court order of the State Supremes.

Take a lessons folks. If you don't like your boss take him to court and gain control of his company then you can run it yourself.

Do not like the way the Governor of your state operates then sue him and take over control of the states affairs.

Do not like your life well then SUE GOD! Good luck with that one.

South Carolina's high court has ordered Republican Gov. Mark Sanford to request $700 million in federal stimulus money, which would head primarily to cash-strapped schools over the next two years.

The state Supreme Court issued its ruling Thursday, a day after hearing arguments in Sanford's legal fight to reject the money. The anti-bailout governor refused to take the cash even after legislators passed a budget requiring him to do so.

The arguments involved lawsuits filed by students and school administrators. Sanford had tried to get those cases merged in federal court with his own lawsuit to block the money, but he lost that fight Monday.

The transfer of Ahmed Ghailani to face capital charges in the 1998 East Africa bombings marked the first time a detainee who is not an American citizen has been brought from the prison in Cuba to the United States. Ghailani, appearing briefly in U.S. District Court in Manhattan yesterday, pleaded not guilty to multiple charges in connection with the blasts at the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya. Those attacks killed 224 people, including 12 Americans.

A former Islamic cleric, Ghailani was captured after a 10-hour shootout in the Pakistani city of Gujrat in July 2004. He was taken to a secret CIA prison before he and 13 other "high-value" detainees

In an interview with Laura Haim on Canal Plus, a French television station, Mr. Obama noted that the United States also could be considered as “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.” He sought to downplay the expectations of the speech, but he said he hoped the address would raise awareness about Muslims.

“And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslim Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world,” Mr. Obama said. “And so there’s got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two peoples.”

Energy Independence A Matter of National Security

clipper's remarks: This sounds reasonable enough to me. Would any of your democrats want to explain to me and to the rest of America why you refuse to allow us to tap the energy resources that BELONGS TO WE THE PEOPLE? That us OUR OIL and those are OUR RESOURCES, and the jobs those resources would create could go a long way toward turning this economy around. It is foolish to think that you can go from 1% energy generation to enough wind and solar energy to reduce our use of carbon based fuels in a reasonable enough time frame to totally rule out all carbon based fuels. That is just plain foolhardy.

Care to explain dems?

In the party's weekly radio and Internet address Saturday, Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said Republicans support a more comprehensive energy plan that would increase funding for energy research, develop U.S. oil and gas resources and promote clean coal and nuclear power.

He said renewable energy such as wind and solar power is important, noting that Wyoming has world-class wind resources. But Barrasso said wind and solar only account for about 1 percent of U.S. electricity, far below what is needed to meet the nation's energy needs.

"There's enough oil shale in the Rocky Mountain West alone to power America for the next hundred years," he said. "As a nation, we need to be more energy independent. It is a matter of energy security, as well as national security."

"As we approach this Memorial Day, it is my hope that the Democrats can work with us to develop solutions to make our energy supply clean, affordable and reliable," he said.

Why not Keep Gitmo Open as a Prison?

clipper's remarks: President Obama seems determined to move the DETAINEES at GITMO from GITMO to be a PRISONER at some US Facility. Well let me see if I understand this correctly.

Prisoners should be held in a prison.

Is Gitmo a PRISON? Yep Okay check.

Detainees at GITMO should be moved to a US PRISON FACILITY.

IS GITMO a US PRISON facility? YUP again so CHECK 2

Gitmo detainees should be given trials.

CAN GITMO DETAINEES BE tried at GITMO? YUP so once again CHECK.

Why then should they be moved? Could it be simply a POLITICAL maneuver Mr President?

Check check and triple check.

While we are fighting TERRORISM on FOREIGN soil why in God's name (or allah for OBAMA) would we bring the terrorists HOME WITH US to AMERICAN SOIL? Are you insane?

Yep another check.

So then the only reason why the detainees at GITMO would need to be moved is strictly political and not seated in thoughtful reason.

Republican Rep. Tom Rooney tells Newsmax that he knows where the detainees held at Guantanamo Bay should be locked up after they are tried and found guilty — Guantanamo Bay.

Rooney, who represents the South Florida district formerly represented by disgraced Rep. Mark Foley, has recently returned from the detention facility in Cuba that President Barack Obama wants to close. And he said, regarding the treatment of terrorist suspects there, that he saw nothing that Americans should be "ashamed of."

Calling some witnesses "could also pose a serious danger to people who are cooperating with us in foreign countries," Rooney added.

"So once the president makes his mind up about exactly how the criminal procedure is going to proceed, there is a facility down in Cuba, a state of the art courtroom that could handle multiple trials.

"Once that happens, I do believe the president should consider reopening Guantanamo Bay as a prison. Right now it is a detention facility.

Obama Cuts Military Spending while Domestic Spending

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama has signed into law a bill aimed at tightening the controls on defense spending, saying it is "long overdue."

Obama noted one study which found that roughly $295 billion of taxpayers' money was wasted last year on cost overruns involving 95 defense programs.

He said wasteful defense spending "is unacceptable" at a time when the country is fighting two wars and trying to overcome a deep recession at home.

Chrysler Dealers Battling Closure

"Chrysler's proposed asset sale and request for immediate termination of the dealer franchises will destroy several hundred independent businesses, ruin the livelihoods of their owners, cause the loss of thousands of jobs and precipitate inevitable personal and business bankruptcies," Stephen Lerner, an attorney at Squire Sanders & Dempsey representing the committee, said in a statement.

Chrysler says it needs a smaller dealer network to be profitable. But the dealers argue they are Chrysler's main source of revenue, bear much of the risk on car sales, and employ thousands of people.

"Dealers produce revenue, not expense, for Chrysler ... it is Chrysler's dealers that bear the risks and costs associated with selling Chrysler's cars to the public," the National Dealer Council argued.

They say closing Chrysler dealerships goes against simple economics because Chrysler dealers buy all of Chrysler's cars,
