"I could certainly criticize oil companies and I could criticize America in general for not attacking this problem in the '70s. Brazil got off oil in the last 30 years; we certainly could have."—Bill Maher
Bill Maher has made a career of saying things that sound good to those who believe in political correctness. But good doesn’t necessarily translate into true. Maher knows the pattern well, just say something snippy and anti-Bush, there will be very little fact checking on what you’ve said.
So imagine the sheer irony when Maher goes on his usual Liberal holier-than-thou rant (this time directed at president Soetoro) and then Maher makes a statement to punctuate his disdain for Soetoro’s apparent betrayal of Liberal ideology regarding drilling oil. He claims that Brazil has been oil independent for nearly 30 years.
I believe they did. I believe they in the ’’, they had a program to use sugar cane ethanol. And I believe that is what fuels their country. –Bill Maher
Only this time Maher was called on his statement about Brazil being oil independent by George Will. (see 8:23min video)
Apparently shaken by the fact that his veracity was questioned Maher asked for a judge to fact check his assertion. Politifact.com obliged Mr. Maher and found his statement about Brazil’s oil situation wasFALSE.
Yes, I think he should. You know, he, he owns this issue now, because it was only a few weeks ago that he came out for offshore drilling. And, I would say philosophically this is, you know, the problem I think a lot of people on the Left have with the country and have for many years is that there’s no one that really represents our point of view. There’s two parties who want to fight the war on terror with an army in Afghanistan. There’s two parties who want to drill offshore. Where is the other side on this?
So, you know, I could certainly criticize oil companies, and I could criticize America in general for not attacking this problem in the ’’. I mean, Brazil got off oil in the last 30 years, we certainly could have. But it is very disappointing, I think, for this President to be taking a position, as he has, and I guess he’s backpedalling now on it, I hope. I mean, I hope there’s a flip-flop I can believe in there.—Bill Maher
Funny thing about comedians who attempt to venture into politics, in comedy the truth and lies are virtually interchangeable. However too often when a comedian attempts to became political he or she tends to rely on comedic wit. Unfortunately he or she falls back into the practice of interchanging truth and lies as they would normally do in their act.
I’m guessing that Maher’s confusion was due to the fact that he was out of place.
Maher is more at home on HBO interchanging the truth with lies. There he doesn’t have to worry about anyone questioning the facts in his monologue. There the only judge that he faces are the ones who don’t check facts they only laugh at how wittily Maher interchanges the truth with lies.
Angered by Arizona's crackdown on illegal immigrants, protesters took to the streets on Saturday to denounce the new law and call on President Barack Obama to act urgently on immigration reform at May Day rallies across the United States.-- Jill Serjeant
Mexico needs Comprehensive Immigration reform not the United States. We need only to enforce the existing laws that the government under president Barry Hussein Soetoro has refused to enforce.
On a weekend that was supposed to see American Streets spillover with anti-American and anti-Arizona protests that was not the case. Instead it has been a brutal disappointment for anti-Americanist who attempted take advantage of Arizona’s illegal alien law (which protects Arizona from an illegal alien invasion) by attempting to get millions of people into the streets. What illegal alien anarchists intended was to use Saturday May 1, 2010 to rally illegal aliens and illegal entry anarchists all across the United States against the laws and constitution of this country.(see article)
But instead of the hoped for images of massive millions of illegal alien-entry anarchists marching through the streets of American what actually happened was very low turnouts across the nation and a News cycle which focused on a real new terrorist threat, a bombing attempt in New York City and the now catastrophic foreign British Petroleum oil spill in the gulf of Mexico. (see articles here and here)
Arizona law attempts to wean Mexicans and the country of Mexico off of the full supple America tit. And as one might expect Mexicans are throwing a hurricane Katrina size tantrum because the Diary Cow which they stole has warned them that it will not forever give free U.S. government milk to foreign goats that should be grazing on their own Mexican grass.
Angered by a controversial Arizona immigration law, tens of thousands of protesters - including 50,000 alone in Los Angeles - rallied in cities nationwide demanding President Barack Obama tackle immigration reform immediately.-- SOPHIA TAREEN
There is nothing broken about American immigration law. Let me repeat, there is nothing broken about American immigration law. What is broken is the entire country of Mexico!
Mexico is not providing for its people, the Mexican government is not protecting its people from out of control lawless drug cartels and Mexico’s economy is so non-existent that it has resorted to stealing from the United States’ economy. Mexico is broken not American’s immigration law.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer gives the reasons why this law is constitutional and necessary for the safety of Arizona while she beats back the lies that illegal entry anarchists have told about this bill. (see 5:16min video)
But blame not only rest with Mexico. In America we have a broken federal government which consists of a broken presidency, a broken Congress and a broken Judiciary. America’s federal government is also corrupt. America’s federal government is broken and corrupted by liberalism. If liberalism is not halted dead in its destructive tracks Liberalism will be the ruination of America.
Any time the American president, American politicians and any American citizen can openly advocate for breaking American law as illegal alien entry anarchists have done then it is true something is broken. Two things are broken Mexico and the U.S. Federal Government.
The reason that immigration is the problem that it is—is because the president, congress and the judiciary are not doing their jobs. The federal government which Barry Hussein Soetoro presides over is broken not immigration laws and not the immigration system. The federal government has willfully violated its own law by neglecting the law’s enforcement and then by calling their own neglect to enforce “broken immigration law” or a “broken immigration system.”
It is not either of the two. What it is, is a failure of U.S. federal government and as a result of that failure the federal government is broken and can only be fixed by replacing the entire federal government complex starting by removing every Liberal Democrat and every Liberal Conservative first.
Arizona has given America the key to its salvation. According to sources Mexicans are the fastest growing minority in the United States. That statistic is based purely on illegality and illegal entry into this country.
Any comprehensive reform is only a cover for the broken Mexican government and the broken U.S. federal government. First fix Mexico and then fix the U.S. federal Government which refuses to enforce its own immigration laws. That is the reform that we need.
Arizona is doing that, they are doing what is right. Arizona has done nothing wrong. Illegal alien entry anarchists are wrong.
Whether that includes the president of the United States of America (and it does) the Congress both Democrats and Republicans who support illegal alien entry into the United States, they are all illegal alien entry anarchists and they are enemies of the constitution when they support comprehensive immigration reform, or in plain language, amnesty for over 20 million illegal aliens.
And the chain reaction that will ensue when 20 million illegals are eligible to vote and invite 20 million more of their family and friends into the United States based on laws that would allow them to under the comprehensive plan.
Right now only the state of Arizona has chosen to do what’s right and stand against misguided popular opinion. Only the state of Arizona is fighting for America. Arizona is right no matter what the president or what the media says, Arizona is right.
If we can no longer determine between right and wrong as a nation then we are truly a nation that is lost.
Entering America via Mexico/Arizona border bypassing Ellis Island
Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona signed the nation’s toughest bill on illegal immigration into law on Friday. Its aim is to identify, prosecute and deport illegal immigrants.-- RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD
One might say that Arizona is doing the job that the Federal government wouldn’t do and one would be absolutely correct.
Arizona has defined the debate with respect to what kind of country America is. And they have done it with their new law on illegal entry. Arizona law enforces the existing Federal law—law which is meant to protect the borders of this country from illegal entry into this country. (see article)
Not since Sodomites attempted to rape angels in the biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah have we seen such open defiance against what is good and what is right as we see with Mexicans in this country illegally and their supporters.
Here is what the new Arizona law has done; it has helped to define what illegal entry into the United States is, it has restructured the illegal alien debate into only two categories; individuals who are and who advocate lawless (law breakers) opposed to individuals who are lawful. And as a bonus it also forces us to address the meaning of the word illegal. (see Arizona bill SB 1070)
If one is an illegal alien or an illegal immigrant by definition one is a violator of the law. If the government chooses to ignore violators of the law then the government is broken not the law.
If you are against Arizona ’s illegal entry law you are advocating lawless. And you clearly don’t believe that American is a nation of laws. If you support Arizona ’s illegal entry law you are lawful and you believe in law and order.
Arizona ’s illegal entry law like the Federal illegal entry law is intended to protect the American people. Federal illegal entry law is not presently being enforced purely for political advantage.
Democrats all but encourage illegal aliens to vote in American elections so that Democrats can gain and retain political power. This explains why the president of the United States would come out against a fair and just law as he did when he came out against Arizona’s illegal entry law. (see 2:51min video)
The law was to take effect 90 days after the legislative session ends, meaning by August. Court challenges were expected immediately. -- RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD
The reason the president opposes the Arizona illegal immigrant law is Arizona intends to enforce their law unlike the Federal government’s negligence with respect to its own federal illegal entry law.
When you hear someone speaking against Arizona and its illegal entry law that person is a lawless person. What that means is that person is speaking on the side of lawlessness and he or she supports the open breaking of laws. When you hear someone speaking in support of what Arizona has done with its illegal entry law that person is speaking on the side of lawfulness.
Today there exist two types of people in our country those who support and advocate for breaking the law as the president is doing and those who support and advocate for abiding by the law.
For example imagine that anyone who chooses could access to your banking accounts and as a result of that access they could take money out of your account any time they wanted to.
In addition to that the account intruder or thief began to pass your account information to their family and friends and they all began to take money out of your account.
Now imagine that when you found out about this illegal access to your account you changed your account to restrict access to your account.
Because you did that the thieves began to stigmatize you calling you greedy, uncaring, selfish and a dirty Capitalist.
A scenario like what’s above is presently occurring in this nation.
America is all of our account because we are Americans. As Americans citizenship is our access code and no one else should be able to illegally gain access our account.
Yet Mexican Nationals who are citizens of Mexico have gained illegal access to our account and they have passed out our access code to their family and friends.
When Americans in Arizona changed the access code to their state in order to prevent the illegal access to their account they are being demonized as racist, xenophobic, unjust, racial profilers, haters and the like.
None of the above is true. Arizonians are not racist because they wish to stop citizens of another country from invading this country and robbing us of our assets while they bring the problems of the lawlessness of Mexico to our communities.
Mexican illegal entry into America is not to be confused with the Ellis Island legal immigration process no matter how many people march in the streets on May the first, no matter how many pejorative that illegal Mexican nationals and their supports hurl at America citizens because Americans want the end of illegal entry into this country.
Arizona has defined the issue of illegality in this country. We now know who supports lawlessness and who supports the law. Anyone who cast aspersions on Arizona is an enemy to the Constitution, an enemy to law and order and an enemy to the American people.
America doesn’t need an overhaul of its immigration laws what American needs is its present laws to be enforced. If you believe that the system is broken you have no further to look than Washington D.C. that’s where the system is broken because the Federal government refuses to enforce its immigration laws.
Arizona has shown us the way to fix it, which state is next?
Obama fails to deliver on his promises
These numbers are way too low. The government fakes the analytical process to keep them low. According to some Federal Reserve officials, the real unemployment rate is 16%! (Source)
About 73% of [the National Association for Business Economics] surveyed said employment at their company is neither higher nor lower as a result of the $787 billion Recovery Act
What does Barry Hussein Soetoro do better than blaming George W. Bush or wink, wink blaming the previous administration? That’s right the president takes undeserved credit better than any other president in the history of the United States of America. Can anyone say Nobel Peace Prize.
According to Associated Press writer Julie Pace the president will soon be traveling to Iowa, Illinois and Missouri, in an attempt to take credit for an economy that he says is improving. (see article)
NABE conducted the study by polling 68 of its members who work in economic roles at private-sector firms. About 73% of those surveyed said employment at their company is neither higher nor lower as a result of the $787 billion Recovery Act, which the White House's Council of Economic Advisers says is on track to create or save 3.5 million jobs by the end of the year.-- Hibah Yousuf, CNN Money
Although there are some who say that the economy is showing some signs of improving there are others that say that nothing that the president has done had anything to do with an slightly improved economy. (see article)
But that won’t stop the president from saying that he brought the country from the brink when he knows that the only things that will restore the nation’s economy are jobs-jobs that have not been produced nor will they be.
The $787 billion dollar stimulus was supposed to keep unemployment under 8%. Unemployment reached over 10% and is presently at 9.7% and now economist say that the stimulus did next to nothing to help the economy.
The recovery is picking up steam as employers boost payrolls, but economists think the government's stimulus package and jobs bill had little to do with the rebound, according to a survey released Monday.-- Hibah Yousuf
It is absolutely critical for the Soetoro administration that voter’s perception of the Soetoro administration’s role in fixing the economy is favorable to the president. This is necessary so that Liberals can maintain and increase their political power even if perception is not reality.
The reality is the stimulus package was never meant to create or save jobs. The $787 billion dollars was meant to fund the 2010 and 2012 elections and keep Liberal Democrats in power. I suppose that we will see how effective Democrats will be in propagandizing the apparent economic up turn starting in November.
It will be up to you to make sure that young people, African Americans, Latinos and women who powered our victory in 2008 stand together once again.—president Barry Hussein Soetoro
Why is the president of the United States of America practicing racial and sexual based politics? Barry Hussein Soetoro is clearly using sex, race and age as tactics to divide the country along racial, gender and age lines. (see 2:42min video)
I can count at least three forms of profiling or discrimination in Mr. Soetoro’s plea to get out the vote; age discrimination, racial discrimination and sexual discrimination. This president is clearly a divider and not a uniter.
If George Bush ever would have videoed a request for all White man and women over 30 to vote for him the media would have had a feeding frenzy. But because Barry Hussein Soetoro represents himself as a Black man he is held to a lower standard and can get away with a blatant racist request and suffer no ill affect which a White man would have suffered for the same offense.
That’s unbelievably Racist Mr. president! You should be called on it and held to the same standard that any White man would be held to!
"I'm optimistic that maybe the Democrats won't go forward with the bill as it is. Over the next few days, hopefully, something will change to make that possible. I don't see why it would be impossible because frankly I think that there isn't that much of a gap."—Sen. Olympia Snowe, discussing Democrat Financial Reform Legislation
She is solely responsible for the Health Care Reform Law. Without her vote the bill doesn’t get out of the senate finance committee and we wouldn’t be facing this Liberal Democrat Europeanization of America via Health Care law.
Now Democrats want to permanently bailout the financial institutions which incidentally they demonized as the bad guys responsible for the global financial meltdown (but were only to big to fail), and now who is it that Democrats look to so that they can proceed with the one Republican vote need to put their plans into action? Why the Senator from Maine Olympia Snowe that’s who.(see story)(and here)
By gosh with Republicans like Sen. Snowe who needs Democrats?
While eyes are fixed on some of the most vocal Republican opponents of Sen. Chris Dodd's financial overhaul bill to see if the measure will be opened up to debate today, Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe's voice could be the most important.
Snowe, a moderate who has crossed party lines before, is being heavily courted by the Democrats to provide the precious 60th vote needed to start debate.
There’s nothing wrong with just talking about it right? That’s what Snowe said about health care. And just look what the Uber-Liberal Republican Senator from Maine has wrought on America. It was her vote and her vote alone that moved the health care bill out of committee and into your homes. Thank you Sen. Snowe. And thank you Maine. (see article)
Once again, the Democratic majority is courting Maine’s two senators for help in passing a pending bill, this one to overhaul and tighten regulation of the financial system.
Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins stand nearly alone in the poisonous atmosphere of a polarized Senate in which bipartisanship has almost vanished. They more than most of their Republican colleagues have sometimes broken ranks and voted with the Democrats. –Bangor Daily News
Now the Democrats wish to stick it to America again who is the “Republican” that Democrats seek most? Sen. Snowe of course. If a key Democrat would “break ranks” at crucial times like Pelosi or Reid would have their necks. Liberals call Republicans that vote against Party interest independent thinking but Democrats that do the same are traitors unless of course they’ve gotten permission in some backroom deal to vote contrary to the Party line.
In this highly partisan atmosphere where it is crucial that each political camp stand up for its core values why is it that an Olympia Snowe or a Susan Collins or a Lindsey Graham or a John McCain can be persuaded to vote against America’s interest by voting for Liberal policies instituted by Democrats?
Oh these fake Republicans will rationalizes it by saying that they’re just being bi-partisan or they’re just voting for the right thing when in fact what they’re doing is not only betraying a Party but they are betraying a nation.
With Republicans like Snowe, Collins, Graham and McCain or any RINOs for that matter who need’s Democrats!
UPDATE
Although the bill did not pass to the full Senate on a 57 to 41 vote blocking it yesterday . According to Washington post staff writers, Brady Dennis and Shailagh Murray, Sen Reid is prepared to call further votes Today, Wednesday and beyond in order to keep up the pressure on waffling Republicans Sens. Olympia J. Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, Sen. Scott Brown (Mass.), and Sen. Charles E. Grassley (Iowa).(see article)
And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past,’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.’ And yet the past, though of its nature alterable, never had been altered.
Whatever was true now was true from everlasting to everlasting. It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. ‘Reality control’, they called it: in Newspeak,‘doublethink’.—George Orwell, 1984
In 2008 NPR printed that Senator Barry Hussein Obama was born in Kenyan Africa. In 2010 NPR is scrubbing history straight out of George Orwell’s 1984. (see article)
NPR refuses to tell just what documentation or evidence provided the reason for the change.
But the records were altered shortly after the WND story was posted, and NPR ombudsman Alicia Shepard has explained, "I would hope they would correct factually inaccurate information since Obama was born in Hawaii."
She explained further, "I have looked into it. Someone writing a summary of a story that aired on NPR incorrectly wrote that the story said Barack Obama was born in Kenya. The story said Obama's father was from Kenya."
However, she declined to explain what documentation or evidence provided the reason for the change. –Bob Unruh
As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any particular number of ‘The Times’ had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in its stead.
This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs—to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance.
Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record.
All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place.—George Orwell, 1984
This kind of Overt Orwellian ‘bring the past up to date’ scraping clean history and reinscribing it to serve Barry Hussein Soetoro is a willful suspension of disbelief in order to uphold an ideological based deception over the American people.
George Orwell warned about the methodology that Fascist would use to oppress and enslave people way back in 1949. Yes fifty-one years later but nevertheless changing history is what is happening in order to prop up this questionable administration.
British Conservative Leader David Cameron, centre, speaks during a televised debate with Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats, left, and Labour Leader Gordon Brown.
NICK CLEGG, the Liberal Democrat leader who until a few days ago was little known to voters, is now the most popular party leader since Winston Churchill, a new Sunday Times poll reveals.
Following his decisive victory in last week’s television debate, Clegg has surged to a higher approval rating than Tony Blair at the peak of new Labour’s popularity. –Jonathan Oliver and David Smith, Timesonline
In a historic first and obviously influenced by the 2008 United States election campaign and debates, the UK broadcasted their very first election debate between their three political Parties, The Labor Party, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party
With the election called for 6th May, Britain broadcasted their first ever live television debate between the three Parties on April 14, 2010.
Three men; Gordon Brown representing Labor, Nick Clegg representing Liberals and David Cameron representing Conservatives—three White men. Begs the question are there no qualified women in Europe or are their no qualified minorities in Europe?
If one remembers Europe was so concerned that America elect a Black man regardless of the absence of political pedigree and regardless of the absent of political experience.
That aside, note the eerily similar issues facing the UK as face the United States. Is this a coincidence or is there some controlling force that has orchestrated similar problems of illegal immigration, unemployment, bank bailouts, auto industry bailouts in both countries? (see 1hr36min video)
UK election debate April 14, 2010
Liberal Party Nick Clegg has casted himself as the UK’s White Barack Obama, an outsider candidate for hope and change. Because he has done that he has become the Liberal media’s darling. (see article)
What is interesting is Clegg improves on the hope and change theme that sweep Soetoro into office. Clegg’s claim is he represents “hope married to credibility” and “change that you can trust” suggesting that the hope and change that America bought in its 2008 election was neither credible nor trustworthy.
This debate sounded like it was cut right from the American debate. This indicates that we are closer to a one world government than we’ve previously imaged. If the Brits back virtually unknown Nick Clegg who has cast himself as the UK hope and change candidate that I think would be more than a coincidence that would be a mirror Liberal government of which the United States is attempting to throw off.
I don’t know if the United States can throw off the Liberal Progressive nightmare that is our present government, but I’m thinking that an Europe in it’s current weakened state will find it virtually impossible to escape Liberalism if it chooses as America did.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and U.S. president Barry Hussein Soetoro
Mr. Speaker once again it’s nothing to do with policy. He is incapable of dealing with the big issues which face this country.
And let me say what this chancellor is achieving. This chancellor is leading the rest of world in taking us out of recession. This chancellor has taken action the conservative body refuses to support.
What happen when we had to deal with the banks? What would the conservative have done? Nothing! What would have done when we were helping mortgage holders, nothing! What would they have done when we were helping the unemployed? Nothing! What is their policy? It is to do nothing. That is not the basis on which to ask for an election!—Gordon Brown
This is the stuff that international conspiracies are made of. Unlike our American Congress the MPs in the British Parliament can openly and honestly debate their Prime Minister regarding their failed government.
President Barry Hussein Soetoro knows nothing about debating the issues that he so cavalierly says he’d be happy to debate. The staged controlled Republican health care summit was a sham not a debate because president Soetoro controlled everything.
You wish to see real debate take a look that the British Parliament and watch real debaters. But here's an unexpected warning something is eerily familiar with what the Blair government is doing and with what the Soetoro government is doing.
Notice how Prime Minister Gordon Brown answers back critics citing programs that seem to have come straight out of the Barry Hussein Soetoro play book for America. (see 5:34min video)
Now this is the only party that wants an election when they’ve got no policy to deal with the recession, They want an election but they’ve got no policy to help home owners, They want an election but they’ve got no policy to help the unemployed. This is a Party that is talk, talk and talk but nothing to do with action.—Gordon Brown
If one didn’t know any better one would think that what Democrats are imposing on this country by way of their health care law, their unpaid for unemployment benefits and their other social restructuring imposed laws—laws that the dying European government are imposing on its people as well.
The only differences seems to be there is enough political resistance in the British political class to oppose these failing policies where there is no such resistance to speak of in the United States Congress. The other difference is that Gordon Brown doesn’t have George W. Bush to blame for his troubles.
Britain seems to be in serious political and economic trouble but it seems that they are only surpassed in this fate by America under the leadership of Barry Hussein Soetoro.
Barry Hussein Soetoro will be historically noted as the president who presided over America’s declined.
The White House ripped CBS News on Thursday for publishing an online column by a blogger who made assertions about the sexual orientation of Solicitor General Elena Kagan, widely viewed as a leading candidate for the Supreme Court.-- Howard Kurtz
The White house vehemently denies rumors that their leading candidate for replacing Justice Stevens on the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, is lesbian. (Not that anything is wrong with being Lesbian) But you’d think that there was if a homosexual was ever nominated to the Supreme Court and the White house attempted to hide the fact until that person was confirmed. (see story)
Just think of the slap in the face of all Homosexuals if one of their own had to be snuck onto the court. Where’s the pride in that?
Ben Domenech, a former Bush administration aide and Republican Senate staffer, wrote that President Obama would "please" much of his base by picking the "first openly gay justice." An administration official, who asked not to be identified discussing personal matters, said Kagan is not a lesbian.—Howard Kutz
First CBS refused to retract the story but after coordinated attacks against the Broadcast company and the poster of the original story by Anita Dunn, a former White House communications director who is working with the administration on the high court vacancy. You remember Ms. Dunn who lost her White house post when she said that one of her favorite political philosophers is Mao Tse Tung.
Dunn smeared the broadcast company and Mr. Domenech by stating that they had become enablers of people posting lies on their site. She further denigrated the broadcast company by remarking, “[this] tells us where the journalistic standards of CBS are in 2010."
A White House spokesman, Ben LaBolt, said he complained to CBS because the column "made false charges." Domenech later added an update to the post: "I have to correct my text here to say that Kagan is apparently still closeted -- odd, because her female partner is rather well known in Harvard circles."
After such reporting, Marc Ambinder of the Atlantic picked up the story as rumors among gay rights activist and social conservatives that Elena Kagan, is lesbian.
Solicitor General Elena Kagan, the woman who tops President Obama's short list for the Supreme Court, is the subject of a baffling whisper campaign among both gay rights activists and social conservatives: those whispering assume she's gay, and they want her -- or someone -- the media! -- to acknowledge it.—Marc Ambinder
Will the White house make the Kagan story an embarrassing spectacle for all homosexuals by attempting to hide the fact that they are ashamed that their nominee is Lesbian if in fact she is?
Taxpayers earning less than $200,000 a year will pay roughly $3.9 billion more in taxes — in 2019 alone — due to healthcare reform, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation, Congress's official scorekeeper. --Jay Heflin
President Barry Hussein Soetoro says under his presidency taxes will not be raised on the middle class but the Joint Committee on Taxation, Congress’s official scorekeeper says that taxes will be raised on the middle class. Who do you believe.
You heard all of the promises. President Barry Hussein Soetoro promised the American Middle Class that his health care law would not raise taxes on the middle class not even one cent. Soetoro said that people making less than $200,000.00 a year and joint filers earning less than $250,000 would not see a tax increase under his watch. (see videos)
(see 49sec. video)
(see 1:44min video)
Yet according to the Joint Committee on Taxation, Congress's official scorekeeper the middle class will get a substantial tax increase of $15.2 billion over 10 years. Once the law is fully implemented in 2019, the JCT estimates (see article)
Once the law is fully implemented in 2019, the JCT estimates the deduction limitation will affect 14.8 million taxpayers — 14.7 million of them will earn less than $200,000 a year. These taxpayers are single and joint filers, as well as heads of households.
"Loss of this deduction will mean higher taxes for 14.7 million individuals and families making under $200,000 a year in 201."—Jay Heflin
The president promised that taxes would not be raised one cent on the middle class under his watch well when he’s voted out in 2012 that might be one of the few promises that he kept.
"LTC Lakin's own deployment orders to Afghanistan included a requirement for him to bring 'copies of his birth certificate,'" the statement from Hemenway said.— Bob Unruh
Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin did not report for duty to Fort Campbell, Ky. as ordered [to on April 12, 2010] and a spokesman for the post said it's not likely he will, reported Bryant Jordan on Military.com.
Lt. Col. Lakin refused orders to deploy for a second time to Afghanistan, and refused to be dispatched to Fort Campbell ... in preparation for the overseas assignment."
It is indeed ironic that a part of the process for the Army to deploy the Lt. Colonel to Afghanistan is for the Army Officer to show is birth certificate.
The [Obama birth certificate] issue has prompted a number of state legislatures to work on proposals that would require presidential candidates to submit proof of their eligibility. And a similar proposal has been introduced in Congress by Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla.--Bob Unruh
Lt. Col Lakin is a decorated Army surgeon who is now branded with the Liberal pejorative “birther” for asking the commander in chief (CIC) to do the very same thing that the Army ordered Lakin to do. Report and bring copies of his birth certificate. (see article)
How interesting that the Army can be “birthers” as indicated their asking Lt. Col. Lakin for his Birth Certificate and conversely attempt to label Lt. Col. Lakin as a “birther” for being the only one in this situation that is fulfilling his military oath as an officer to "support and defend the United States Constitution," including the article demanding that only a "natural born citizen" can be president.
[Lt. Col. Lakin] said, however, he was compelled to act as he did because of his oath as an officer to "support and defend the United States Constitution," including the article demanding that only a "natural born citizen" can be president.—Bob Unruh
President Barry Hussein Soetoro, Democrats and their sycophants are betting that the American people are equally as partisan and corrupted as they. They believe that the America people couldn’t care less that the constitution is being trifled with just as long as there is some immediate gratification in it for them.
If the American people are as lawless has president Soetoro and Democrats believe them to be then it doesn’t matter whether or not Barry Hussein Soetoro is constitutionally eligible to be president just as long as he gives them the unemployment and health care trinkets that they want.
If that is a true and accurate reading of the American people then equally the American people shouldn’t care if a Military Officer disobeys orders. For that matter why should any of us obey any laws whatsoever if we can pick and chose which laws we feel are relevant or irrelevant?
Obama's actual response to those who question his eligibility to be president under the Constitution's requirement that the U.S. president be a "natural born citizen" has been to dispatch both private and tax-funded attorneys to prevent anyone from gaining access to his documentation.—Bob Unruh
I’m betting that president Soetoro is wrong. I’m betting that the American people care about the Constitution, they care about the rule of law and they care that about legitimate government.
If the president is betting that the American people are corrupt and self-serving as Democrats and that Americans will allow the constitution to be destroyed then I believe he is on the wrong side of history and he has grossly mis-characterized the American people.
Lt. Col. Terrance Lakin is an example of the American spirit. He is an example of those of us who believe in truth. Lt. Col. Lakin is defending the constitution and that act is bigger than any one of us or any president.
Companies have used the downturn to aggressively trim payrolls, making cuts they've been reluctant to make before. Outsourcing abroad has increased dramatically.
Companies have discovered that new software and computer technologies have made many workers in Asia and Latin America almost as productive as Americans, and that the Internet allows far more work to be efficiently moved to another country without loss of control.—Robert Reich
Robert Reich is professor of public policy at the University of California at Berkeley and former secretary of labor under President Clinton. In his article, The Jobs Picture Still Looks Bleak, he shows how corporate greed for low wages, low overhead and maximum profits led to decades of outsourcing of good paying middle class jobs to Asia, India and Latin America. (see article)
With fidelity to only the bottom line American Corporations left millions of Americans unemployed, underemployed or faced with working the same job while conceding benefits and wages just to stay employed.
As Corporations eye world markets that were once off limit Communist regimes, like China for instance, and as these regimes open to the idea of capitalism the two resources that corporations needed to survive are no longer exclusive to the United States of America. Those two things are consumers and workers.
These cost-cutting moves have allowed many companies to show profits notwithstanding relatively poor sales. Alcoa, for example, had $1.5 billion in cash at the end of last year, double what it had on hand at the end of 2008. It managed this largely by cutting 28,000 jobs, 32% of its work force. But for workers, there's no return. Those who have lost their jobs to foreign outsourcing or labor-replacing technologies are unlikely ever to get them back. And they have little hope of finding new jobs that pay as well.—Robert Reich
The change that America faces is the very real prospect that she has been forsaken by corporations.
The very same corporations that she has always protected by law and nurtured by tax breaks and benefits. American has protect corporations only to be left behind has her corporate babies mature into unappreciative ingrates who see new vistas in the over one billion people of China and the rest of the post communist world thus the outsourcing of the American economic infrastructure of jobs and consumerism to governments that were previously hostile to Capitalism.
The only way many of today's jobless are likely to retain their jobs or get new ones is by settling for much lower wages and benefits. The official unemployment numbers hide the extent to which American workers are already on this downward path. But if you look at income data you'll see the drop.
America will never be the same according to Mr. Reich. We are in a post American world. A world where American corporations have divested themselves of America, not completely only enough to make America more profitable for Corporate interest while corporations have made it less likely that the American people will ever again enjoy the standard of living that most Americans have become accustom to.
To which Mr. Reich ends his thesis by saying, “Americans will once again be employed, but they will also be back on the downward escalator of declining pay they rode before the Great Recession.”
Thus America will never recover its standard of living. According to the corporation plan we aren’t supposed too.
The Labor Department said Thursday that first-time claims increased by 18,000 in the week ended April 3, to a seasonally adjusted 460,000.
That's worse than economists' estimates of a drop to 435,000, according to a survey by Thomson Reuters.—Christopher Rugaber
Since his State of the Union promise to focus like a laser beam on jobs the president has done everything but. His Omni-directional approach to governess is buckshot efficacy when high caliper scoped precision was needed to help American with the primary thing that is destroying the economy—the lack of jobs.
“…that is why jobs must be our number one focus in 2010 and that’s why I’m calling for a new jobs bill tonight.”—president Barry Hussein Soetoro
(see 2:06min video)
But in spite of all of the promises the Soetoro administration wasted a whole year on health care legislation which they have subsequently signed into law. However they are still defending their actions weeks after they made the president’s signature bill law.
They did this choosing to neglect the most important thing for Americans—jobs. And along with the excessive time spent on health care the president has chosen to ignite a cultural fire-fight over homosexuality in the military, he was chosen to sign a treaty disarming America’s defensive capabilities and he has chosen to pick fights with America’s historical allies.
“The election-year jobs agenda promised by President Obama and Democrats has stalled seven months before voters determine control of Congress.
Democrats have no money to pay for the program.” –Associated Press
Now because of Democrats’ over spending and divided attentions the most important concern for all Americans is going lacking. (see 1:04mins video)
The media is claiming that initial job claims have increased unexpectedly. Why would anyone expect the lack of attention that this president has paid to the real problems facing this country to result in different results?
According to Christopher Rugaber the number of newly laid-off workers seeking unemployment benefits rose last week, a sign that jobs remain scarce. (see article)
The greatest threat to the middle class and to the American people is that jobs have been allowed to leave this country for several decades. Presently there is nothing in the Soetoro agenda that will either stop jobs leaving or create new jobs.
So much for the president’s promises to the middle class on jobs and no taxes, the middle class will not get the jobs promised but will get the taxes that the president promised that they wouldn’t get.
Obama: We Don’t know where he is or where he’s going or what he's doing
Reporters and photographers didn't have a chance to see him or his vehicle to verify his presence at any location.
Although nobody outside the White House or the press may have noticed, Obama broke years of tradition.—Associated Press
Small things often mean something. In 1998 a little know figure by the name of Osama bin Laden declared war on the United States of America. But because America is powerful and al Qaeda wasn’t perceived as a threat because they were so insignificantly small we overlooked the threat.
On April 10, 2010 the president of the United States of America snuck out of the White house without the White house press corps to record his every move. Why? (see story)
There must have been a good reason for breaking years of protocol. No, there was only a cover story that the president awakened Saturday morning and on a whim decided to gather up a regiment of secret service men to attend one of his daughter’s soccer games. Humm…
Now just think of the logistics of that. Didn’t this president just say in an interview days ago that he and his wife hadn’t chosen a church in D.C. yet because of the imposition it would cause a church if the president of the United States were in attendance? You think his presence and security detail might distract from a little girls soccer game just a little? Anyone there who took a picture please contact me.
When the White House press corps were made aware that the president wasn’t on the White house premises they gathered to pursue the president. But when they arrived at the supposed location they were informed, Oh too late the game’s over the president is going back to the White house. Humm…
The White House press corps traditionally travels with the president anywhere he goes, inside and outside the country, to report on the president's activities for the benefit of informing the public and for historical record.--Associated Press
Why would the most open and transparent president in the history of the United States of America feel the need to clandestinely leave the White house grounds for hours without the American people knowing exactly where he was and what he was doing?
So my question to you reader is, does it make me a conspiracy theorist to surmise that this is highly unusual behavior for the president of the United States of America? And though is seems small and insignificant right now, does this portend of something of significantly greater import?
My instincts tell me that we will discover something unusual occurring in the next days, weeks or month. but will we ever be able to connect it to this missed two hours of the president’s whereabouts?
National Public Radio reported Barry Hussein Soetoro as “a son of Africa” in 2008 apparently not all of the background information about the 44th president of the United States has been scrubbed from the internet yet.(see story)(Listen to 12:22min audio. 9:41mins in)
Why, do you suppose those NPR “birthers” weren’t aware of Soetoro’s Hawaiian “Prima Facie” birth certificate like those who defend him are today? Where do you suppose NPR got such information? And didn’t the editors at the Nigerian Observer read the Wall Street Journal’s opinion that president Soetoro was born in Hawaii?
Why would NPR lie? Why did the Nigerian Observer print a false statement? I think that our Hawaiian born president should sue NPR and the Nigerian Observer for misrepresenting the facts. Don’t you?
What do you think? (see Nigerian Observer page below)
Until this matter is fully resolved to the satisfaction of the American people Barry Hussein Soetoro is a one term president who stands to have his entire presidency expunged from the annuals of American History.
As well, when it is finally revealed that Mr. Soetoro was never eligible to be president and when it is revealed that he had full knowledge of that fact before he criminally conspired to usurp the presidency and when it is revealed that he continued to serve knowing that he was constitutionally ineligible to do so; then every order, law and treaty that he has signed will be invalidated, every appointment that he has made will be invalid and summarily vacated. And every domestic enemy that aided and abetted this treasonous presidency will be arrested, tried and dealt with in accordance with the dictates of the constitution.
This is the devastation that Liberals and Democrats have willed on America because of their insane gluttony for power. They destroyed the Bush presidency only to replace it with a sham presidency of their own.
Soetoro is an unconstitutional Kenyan born “son of Africa” sitting in the White house who is “play acting” like he is the president of the United States of America. And largely all of America is “play acting” right along with him aided by their suspension of disbelief.
Mr. Soetoro must be compelled to do the right thing by showing proof of his birth. No other American president has had such a preponderance of evidence to show that he was ineligible to serve like this man has. This is the only one. And he must be made to comply with the constitution for the sake of this country and its laws.
As long as Soetoro is president the United States, the United States is functioning as a rogue nation in violation of its own laws, its own treaties and its own Constitution. As long as the people of the United States pretend that they don’t know that there is something terribly wrong this presidency things will continue to get worst for this country. It’s like ignoring cancer. If one chooses ignore cancer the cancer will continue to metastasize and worsen.
President Soetoro and Liberal Democrats are depending on their assessment of the American people which is the American people don’t really care about the constitution. They’ve presented and elected an unconstitutionally eligible president and the America people do nothing. They put in place an unconstitutional power structure of Czars answerable only to the president and the American people do nothing. They’ve failed to enforce America’s borders in compliance with Constitutional mandates and the American people do nothing. And they’ve pass an unconstitutional health care law and the American people still do nothing.
If Liberals are correct in their assessment of America and if the American people no longer care about upholding and enforcing the Constitution then Barry Hussein Soetoro’s presidency will mark the end of America as we have known it.
But isn’t that what the Kenyan born “son of Africa” promised he would do in his campaign of hope and change?
Look into my eyes. You will submit to my Health Care law
"Well, let's talk about that, because this is an area where there's been just a whole lot of misinformation, and I'm going to have to work hard over the next several months to clean up a lot of the misapprehensions that people have."—president Barry Hussein Soetoro
The question was posed by a woman how identified herself as Joyce Ravis(sp) from Lake Wiley, South Carolina. Her question was, “In the economy times that we have now is it wise to decision to add more taxes to us with the health care because we are over taxed as it is now.”
The answer was 17minutes of blah, blah, blah, blah… I thought the president had turned to page one of the 906 page health care law and started reading beginning at the table of contents. (see story and here)
President Soetoro stated that his intentions are to go throughout the land to clear up all of the misconception about his new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act but did he really think he had to do it in one fell swoop? The president left his pants on the ground with this 2500 word answer that spanned a full 17 minutes. He was looking and sounding like a... well you know.
Following is the 17 minute diatribe which the president is certain that after he’s finished talking the American people will say, “Why Mr. president after you’ve explain it, destroying the greatest health care system in the world isn’t so bad after all. Just continue on with what you're doing, our bad! And for that matter go ahead and tax us all you want.” (see full 17min video)
The way I see it Joyce Ravis expressed her concerns about being over taxed by the president’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, but she ended up being over taxed to the extreme by the president’s 17minute attempt to explain, defend and justify his law.
Yet as bad as this 17 minute answer was it is not as bad as the over taxation that the American people now face from the implementation of president Soetoro's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Worried? Democrats should be. By all indications their messaging isn't working the way they'd planned. Democrat Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida is another wind-up Obamabot who will unflinchingly spout the Party line when sent out to defend the realm, which consist of Democrat ideological positions.
Democratic party officials have reportedly warned their swing-district members that they cannot avoid talking about the health-care bill during the Easter recess:
“You don’t run away from this,” said one top party aide who has advised lawmakers and their staffs in the House about the recess strategy. “We have told them: ‘You need to go talk about it. You need to go out there and go on the offensive on it. You will not be able to turn public opinion immediately, but the key is your constituents understand your rationale for supporting it.’”—Daniel Foster
(source)
Democrats were told that during their Easter recess from Congress they couldn’t hide from what they have done to the American people when they voted for and passed their strictly partisan health care law. Democrats were instructed to go forth and defend the new health care law so Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz did.
Now this video tells you the real story. After attempting to completing control the narrative; CNN interviews Wasserman Schultz, by first establishing the issues of “threats” against her, an obvious attempt to put her in the victims category, and then CNN shows how the organizers of Wasserman’s town hall Easter recess meeting took great pains to keep all of the dread loony tea partiers on the outside of the meeting while surrounding Wasserman with only supportive loving Democrat Health care well-wishers, but in spite of all of that something strange happened.
In a completely pro Democrat and controlled “tea partier free” environment Congresswoman Wasserman’s meeting was disrupted by people, her constituents, who didn’t support or appreciate what she and her Congress colleagues have done by passing their partisan health care law.
One of Ms. Wasserman’s constituents was even escorted out of the meeting by armed police (see 1:59min video)
In yet another example of Democrats defending Health Care badly Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, what was it about the American people telling Democrats, last summer in town hall meetings all across this country, that the American people didn’t want your health care law that you didn’t understand?
You and a Democrat Controlled Congress and a Democrat President didn’t listen to us and now you’re back attempting to explain yourselves by employing fascist tactics to quash debate?
It’s clear that even at a completely staged meeting Democrats can’t defend the indefensible. In what is just another example of Democrats defending health care badly!
Recently I was challenged by a reader in which he ended his defense of president Barry Hussein Soetoro’s lack of proof of eligibility to be president with the following statement, “Alaphiah, President Obama won the election 53% to 45%. The people have spoken. He's black. He's the President. Now be a man, be an American, and get over it.”
Well I’m guessing that this person is not keeping up with current events because looking at the numbers this president is in serious trouble.
According to Andrew Malcolm of the Los Angeles Times (not a conservative newspaper), Now that [president Soetoro] has signed his beloved healthcare legislation and despite his continued stumping for the measure, CBS News finds a) the stumping has been ineffective, b) most Americans don't like the bill (53%), c) many expect the quality of care to decrease while costs continue to increase and d) few see anything in it for them. Other than that, it's a huge public relations success.
As another result of the passage and preceding rancorous healthcare debate, Rasmussen Reports finds that 53% of Americans now say they trust Republicans more with this traditionally Democratic issue, while 37% still trust [the Democrat] party.
Soetoro may have won the election but that was before the people saw what they were voting for. Now only 44% of Americans give Soetoro a favorable rating.
The RealClearPolitics average has Obama's approval at 47.5% and disapproval at 46.1.—Andrew Malcom
My anonymous reader really shouldn’t be so cocky because what the people did in 2008 will be undone. The people will speak again this year in November and again in 2012. And yes the only reason Soetoro was elected besides Bush hatred was because he is Black but that won’t happen again! And when he loses in 2012 there are a lot of Obamabots who will have to (how did you say…) get over it.
The Reader’s statement was in response to my post reporting that Lt. Col. Terry Lakin of the U.S. Army is refusing orders from president Barry Hussein Soetoro until the president shows proof that he is in fact a legitimate Commander-in-Chief. (see post)
First as an American I have every right to know if the person occupying the White House is there in accordance with Constitutional requirements. Second as an American I have every right that Hillary Clinton declared every American has. (hear 16 sec audio)
Thank you Secretary Clinton it’s reassuring to know that you Democrats understand that opposition is as American as apple pie. Why opposition is even patriotic according to Ms. Clinton.
Now to the fun. I’ve dealt with this particular reader before on the issue of Soetoro’s birth certificate. I know this because he continues to make the mistaken attempt to present his case that a “prima facie document” as he calls the phony document, which the president presented as a Certification of Live Birth, is substantial proof of Soetoro’s Hawaiian birth.
I on the other hand have shown on several posts, on this subject, evidence that more than refutes a prima facie claim. First I established that before Soetoro was president he and his associates were exploring whether they could challenge the Natural Born Citizen Requirement. Sarah P. Herlihy an attorney with a working relationship with Soetoro wrote a paper with the intent of challenging the Constitutional requirement. It is apparent this was done with Soetoro in mind. (see document below)
This establishes that Soetoro always knew that he is ineligible to be president.
Now regarding that so-called prima facie Certification of Live Birth, below is a copy of that document as it was posted on the president’s own website fight-the-smears (see document below)
And below is a real Hawaiian birth certificate issue from Hawaii the day after president Soetoro is said to be born there.
Not the same as Soetoro’s is it? That’s the point! There is enough evidence to counter any Prima Facie document. Enough evidence to warrant discovery and enough evidence to have court proceedings follow.
The Reader who continues to point to the Certificate of live birth as proof positive of Soetoro’s Hawaiian birth is simply wrong.
What must Barry Hussein Soetoro do? He must recognize that there is a deficit of trust between him and the America people now. And he must show the original vaulted copy of his birth certificate something that every American has had to do at least a dozen times in their life time.
Showing his original vaulted copy would prove that Obama is constitutionally eligible to hold the office of the presidency. Why is it necessary? Well as I have said Soetoro has posted a fake Certificate as proof on his website, “Fight the Smears” as his birth Certificate (see site) and (here)
However we now know that a different type of birth certificate was issued by Hawaii at the time of Soetoro’s birth as presented by Ms. Eleanor Nordyke. Worldnetdaily Ms. Nordyke has come forward with copies of the original vaulted birth certificates issued to her for the births of her twin daughters born in Hawaii the day after Obama was purportedly birth there at the same hospital which he claims to be born in. (see certificate)
Again, not the same as Obama’s is it? That’s the point! All that the people on the radical left, my “Prima Facie” Reader included, are doing is casting aspersions on Americans and patriots who are asking for the president to show proof that he is not an Usurper as the evidence indicates. This is our right to do. No this is our duty!
Ms. Eleanor Nordyke holding original vaulted copies of Hawaii Birth Certificates issued to her for her twin daughters’ birth in the same hospital and a day after Barack Hussein Obama claims that he was born in Hawaii
“Prima Facie” Reader I have the right as an American to question the government or the president’s eligibility. But more importantly the president has the duty to dispel any doubt that he is functioning out of the scope of the constitution. He also has a duty to show Americans that he is legitimate.
Just ask Sen. John McCain who did show his long and short forms when Democrats questioned his eligibility.
