TOTUS

POTUS, has always referred to the President Of The United States.

I have seen several references recently to TOTUS, Telepromter Of The United States! FUNNY!!!

The Fight for the Survival of Free Speech

Most Americans are sleepwalking right now through the early reign of Obama the Magnificant. He tells them he is cutting spending, cutting taxes, and cutting the deficit, and they believe him. When they find in 2010 and 2011 that he deliberately misled them and has been doing just the opposite, and they are deep in the soup as a result, public opinion will turn decisively against him.

Next is to target the remaining holdouts, primarily conservative talk radio and the Christian broadcasters. Then the Internet. And if Fox News doesn't stop airing independent voices, and learn to toe the party line, the Obaman Left will further browbeat them.

Now is the time for true patriots to stand up and fight for the survival of free speech in America. Grassroots activism is needed here. If the Left shuts down free speech, we will no longer have a free country.

Fair Tax!

- Americans for Fair Taxation, learn more about it here - www.fairtax.org

The Fair Tax would replace existing federal taxes -- the personal income tax, the capital gains tax, the estate tax, even payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare -- with a 30 percent national retail sales tax on the final sale of all goods and services. As Laurence Vance of the Ludwig von Mises Institute put it in a recent lecture, "The appeal is obvious: no more complex tax code, no more taxes withheld from paychecks, no more 1040 forms, no more record keeping, no more compliance costs, no more IRS audits.”

The Fair Tax’s radicalism is key. The tea party protesters seemed to genuinely desire a radical change in the way our government conducts its business, not simply minor reforms or more business-as-usual. If sustained, this sharp right turn at the grassroots level could have a serious political impact.

Whew! Obama's 100 days are almost over!

Excellent, it will be great to get rid of the egomaniac and someone with more experience in the oval office. What? You're telling me HE GETS ANOTHER 100 DAYS? But these last 100 days have been such a miserable failure!
- 3.5 trilion spent,, on what?
- worldwide dictator ass-kissing tour.
- closing gitmo with no plan for where these terrorists are going to go.
- CIA and the war on terror compromised, if not dismanted entirely.
- our world class health care system soon to be in the same state as Canada's or the UK's.
- Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, enough said.

You mean to tell me he not only gets another 100 days, but another 1360? GOD HELP US!

Welcome to the Third World, Ms. Pelosi. Can you see the gallows being constructed from your office?

Update, more here. Obama's Interrogation Mess.

by Wesley Pruden in the Washington Times, read entire article here

Exacting revenge for unpopular policies is the norm in the third world, heretofore more likely in Barack Obama's ancestral Kenya than in America, more in the tradition of gangland Chicago than in Washington, where we count on cooler heads to prevail when raw emotion threatens to overwhelm sobriety and the undisciplined senses. We recall perceived national mistakes with the sadness of regret and even gratitude for lessons learned, not the frenzied catharsis of a St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Mr. Obama, having won the White House fair and square, is entitled to change any presidential policy he chooses, but the vindication of a national election does not entitle any president to exact mindless revenge.

Perhaps the president imagines that nobody cares much about what happens to lawyers, but he has set in motion something neither he nor anyone else can control. Some of the Democrats in Congress, eager now to join the mob, will regret what they cry for. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, for one, was a member of the House intelligence committee and sat in on super-secret briefings after Sept. 11. She concedes that she heard about waterboarding but she doesn't remember exactly what she heard. Just like Barack Obama sleeping through 20 years of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's rabid sermons, Ms. Pelosi dozed through the briefings. Her colleagues on the intelligence panel say they remember her demanding that the CIA do more to get the "intelligence" to prevent another attack.

Republicans in the Senate, including John McCain and Lindsey Graham, are finally finding their voices. So is Joe Lieberman, a courageous Democrat. If we're going to have hangings, Ms. Pelosi may be at risk of becoming our most famous female hangee since Mary Surratt paid her debt at the end of a rope for hanging out with John Wilkes Booth.

Al Gore Enrichment Act of 2009

10 Questions for Al Gore

If anyone does not know who Ted Nugent is, they should.

The men who donned Indian costumes and took part in the original Boston Tea party weren’t a bunch of un-serious boobs performing for the media. They were committing an act compelled by their real, honest-to-God human condition. Like the people of Europe and beyond, with independence burning in their souls, determined to escape the shackles of slavery and tyranny, daring to take on an unknown world for their driving instincts to practice the religion of their choice, freely speak their minds, keep and bear arms and pursue their own happiness, the original Tea Party participants needed to make it crystal clear that the British goons who followed them to the Brave New World would not be allowed to impose the limitations on our God-given rights that we came to America to get away from.

Commentary: Obama waffled on torture -- and looks weak

by Ed Rollins

He waffled big time. Now all sides are mad at him and he looks weak. Weakness is the death knell for a president. With 1,366 days to go before this term is up, Obama's got to get tougher or he will be viewed as a personality who reads well from a teleprompter.

The Obama Doctrine: "Don't blame me."

Read here: The Obama Doctrine is a mea culpa for America from a self-obsessed president who puts himself before country. And it's a godsend for America's enemies.

In Obama's own mind, the globe began spinning only with his glorious exit from Ann Dunham's uterus. He can't be blamed for things that happened when he was a child; after all, how was he supposed to stop Bill Ayers from blowing things up, or JFK from botching the Bay of Pigs? He can't even be blamed for subsidizing Ayers' terrorist sympathizing or Ortega's dictatorial ranting -- after all, he can't rewrite history, can he? Hence the Obama Doctrine: it wasn't me. I'm busy junking America's philosophical past, says Obama. Give me a few years to remake America. Then we'll talk.

Obama seems to believe that if he just discards American history -- if he apologizes for our actions in Europe, in Latin America, in the Muslim world -- the rest of the world will offer America a clean slate. That demonstrates, first and foremost, a tremendous lack of pride in America's legacy of freedom and liberty around the globe. America generally needs a clean slate far less than any other country on the face of the earth.

Secondly, the Obama Doctrine demonstrates Obama's massively overweening sense of self-importance. Foreign leaders are not idiots -- if they sense they can elicit concessions from America simply by inflating Obama's confidence, they'll do it. Even assuming Obama's supposed international popularity, that popularity does not translate into a better international deal for America. Foreign leaders can stroke Obama's ego while undermining America's strength in the world. The world's fawning patronage of Barack Obama does not mean the world will treat America as an ally.

Treasonous, or just Stupidity?

Perhaps we need an investigation not of the enhanced interrogation program, but of what the Obama administration may be doing to endanger the security our nation has enjoyed because of interrogations and other antiterrorism measures implemented since Sept. 12, 2001.

From the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Hoekstra, a congressman from Michigan, is ranking Republican on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Is Obama campaign cash quashing eligibility suits?

President Obama may be using campaign funds to stomp out eligibility lawsuits brought by Americans, as his campaign has paid more than $1 million to his top lawyer since the election.

Nice. Even the Canadians berate us now.

UPDATE: Sorry Canada, it's going to be a long 4 years.

Can someone please tell us how U. S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano got her job? She appears to be about as knowledgeable about border issues as a late-night radio call-in yahoo.

In an interview broadcast Monday on the CBC, Ms. Napolitano attempted to justify her call for stricter border security on the premise that "suspected or known terrorists" have entered the U. S. across the Canadian border, including the perpetrators of the 9/11 attack.

All the 9/11 terrorists, of course, entered the United States directly from overseas. The notion that some arrived via Canada is a myth that briefly popped up in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, and was then quickly debunked.

Informed of her error, Ms. Napolitano blustered: "I can't talk to that. I can talk about the future. And here's the future. The future is we have borders."

Just what does that mean, exactly?

Yet again, President Pantywaist: wimpy, wimpy, wimpy

by Mitt Romney in National Review

At last week’s Summit of the Americas, President Obama acquiesced to a 50-minute attack on America as terroristic, expansionist, and interventionist from Nicaraguan president Daniel Ortega. His response to Ortega’s denunciation of our effort to free Cuba from Castro’s dictatorship was that he shouldn’t be blamed “for things that happened when I was three months old.” Blamed? Hundreds of men, including Americans, bravely fought and died for Cuba’s freedom, heeding the call from newly elected president John F. Kennedy. But last week, even as American soldiers sacrificed blood in Afghanistan and Iraq to defend liberty, President Obama shrank from defending liberty here in the Americas.

In his first press interview as president, he confessed to Arabic television that America had “dictated” to other nations. No, Mr. President, America has fought to free other nations from dictators. And in Strasbourg, the president further claimed that America has “showed arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.” London’s Daily Telegraph observed that President Obama “went further than any United States president in history in criticizing his own country’s action while standing on foreign soil.” Of course, it was not just the Daily Telegraph that was listening: People around the world who yearn for freedom, who count on America’s resolve and support, heard him as well. He was heard in China, in Tibet, in Sudan, in Burma, and, yes, in Cuba.

Now this is some OUTRAGE! (Why do only the Left Wing Nuts know what 'teabagging' means?)



The following from AmericanThinker.com by Kyle-Anne Shiver
In all my years of watching news coverage in America, I don't believe I have ever witnessed more condescending, amateurish, purely politicized reporting than what just transpired among the liberal MSM covering America's Tax Day Tea Parties. The Tea Parties represented a very significant news event.

Whenever close to 300,000 middle-class Americans put their productive lives on hold on a midweek workday, make original signs with their own hands, and travel miles and miles to stand with other private citizens just to demonstrate their anger with government, in more than 300 cities from coast to coast and everywhere in between, that's NEWS. Yet, many local newspapers - even the Boston Globe for crying out loud! - pettily refused to even cover their local protests. When every news channel - except the only one thriving on the block, Fox - finally decided to cover the events, it was with derision, mockery and elitist condescension.

Note to MSM: This is why you're going broke.

Not only has this president pompously promised the wages of our children and grandchildren in a profligate spending spree that guarantees serfdom for the productive class, he has bowed, scraped, fawned and apologized his way across the entire continent of Europe.

He has planned huge and irresponsible cuts in our defense spending, promised to do away with missile defense systems and heralded the day he will disarm our nuclear arsenal, so as to set a nice example for the resurgent Russian Bear. Obama has obsequiously bowed to the Saudi King, some of whose own subjects blew more than 3,000 of our fellow Americans to kingdom come a mere 7 years ago. Obama has called off the Global War on Terror, yet has no surrender treaties to accompany this juvenile exercise in hating all things Bush. He has welcomed Castro, Chavez, Ortega, Ahmadinejad and Hamas with open arms, salivating grins and friendly warmth, while dissing our heretofore friends and allies, even making a rude point of telling Israel's PM, Netanyahu, that there will be no face-to-face meeting with him next month in D.C.

A World Of Trouble For Obama

from the Washington Post

*CELEBRATE "READ THE CONSTITUTION DAY" MONDAY, APRIL 20TH! *

April 20th is "Read the Constitution Day". To commemorate the occasion, we're asking every one of you to Print and Mail a copy of the US Constitution to those that need it most: our elected and selected representatives in Federal government!

Just follow these four simple steps:

1. Print five copies of the Constitution. A handy, 6 page version can be found here:http://www.legis.state.wi.us/statutes/usconst.pdf
2. Put the copies in 5 envelopes. On the back of each envelope, write "PRESERVE, PROTECT, AND DEFEND." They are some of the most important words in the President's oath of office.
3. On MONDAY, APRIL 20TH, mail one each to your U.S. House Representative, your Senators, the President, and the Supreme Court:

THE PRESIDENT
The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

THE SUPREME COURT
Public Information Officer
Supreme Court of the United States
Washington, DC 20543

YOUR SENATORS http://senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

YOUR REPRESENTATIVE https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml

4. Forward this to like-minded friends and neighbors and encourage them to do the same.

That's it! 5 envelopes, 5 stamps, 30 pages, and 1 hour of your time. Imagine the impact if thousands of us do this "one little thing." We want the entire federal government to know that there are thousands of Americans concerned for the integrity of our Constitution. They need to know we're paying attention to them, and we expect them to return the respect.

Remember - keep it simple and respectful: Just the Constitution and "PRESERVE, PROTECT, AND DEFEND"

Ted, White and Blue! The Man Speaks the Truth

by Ted Nugent -- a must read.

America has spoken. With guns and ammo sales and concealed weapons permits surging at unprecedented rates, never in the history of mankind have more people possessed more firepower and most significantly, carried more concealed weapons on their persons than today across America. And as FBI crime reports and law enforcement and academic studies conclude, the self-evident truth is that more guns clearly equals less crime. Where there are more guns per capita, violent crime goes down, particularly crimes of assault, like rape, burglary, and robbery. This is good.

It is indeed Ted Kennedy's gun ban dream of GunFreeZones that have proven to be the guaranteed slaughter zones where the most innocent lives are lost. Think Columbine, VA Tech, Lane Bryant, NW IL University, Luby's Cafeteria, NJ, Salt Lake City, and Omaha malls, Calgary University, Toronto, Chicago, Boston, Flight 93, the mayor's office in San Francisco, ad nauseam. Peace and love will get you killed, and unarmed helplessness is bad. Unless of course your anthem goes baaa..... baaa...... baaa.

The choice is clear: Gun control as forced by the Chuck Schumers of the world is complicit in every violent crime committed. Conversely, gun control a la Ted Nugent is putting the second shot through the same hole as the first shot, where innocent lives are saved and recidivistic maggots come to a screeching halt, felled by the lovely ballet of good over evil we call the Double Tap Center Mass Boogie. Learn it, know it, love it, shoot it. Good guys should live, bad guys not so much.

Iranian hostages all over again, Thank you BO!

If I were Saberi’s Iranian-American father, I would be furious, and I would be inclined to call a press conference to say that, while it may be interesting to know the President’s state of mind, and even a bit sad that he is disappointed, American presidents are not paid to share their emotions with us. Among other things, they are paid to defend us from our enemies. He has manifestly failed to do this in the case of Roxana. I would ask the president very publicly, “are you going to do anything for my daughter or not? Never mind ‘I’m disappointed.’ What will you do for her, and for the other Americans in the grips of the mullahs? Or are you going to wait until there are dozens of American hostages in Iranian hands?”

I Am an Extremist

by Oliver North

According to the U.S. government, I am an extremist. I am a Christian -- and meet regularly with other Christians to study God’s word. My faith convinces me the prophesies in the Holy Bible are true. I believe in the sanctity of human life, oppose abortion and want to preserve marriage as the union of a man and a woman. I am a veteran with skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. I own several firearms, frequently shoot them, buy ammunition and consider efforts to infringe on my 2nd Amendment rights to be wrong and unconstitutional. I fervently support the sovereignty of the United States, am deeply concerned about our economy, increasingly higher taxes, illegal immigration, soaring unemployment, and actions by our government that will bury my children beneath a mountain of debt.

Does the Constitution mean nothing anymore?

Do our legislators not understand the meaning and need for an Electoral College?

If this becomes the law of the land, that would mean a national candidate would only have to win the popular vote of the 5 largest population centers and the election would be his/hers.

A true national campaign would not be necessary. Smaller states like Washington State would become irrelevant, because Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Dallas and Miami would determine the outcome of every election!

WAKE UP! WE ARE LOSING OUR DEMOCRACY!

Are Catholics Christian? I'm beginning to think not!

At the request of the White House, Georgetown University covered up all the symbols in Gaston Hall, before the Great Man spoke, including IHS, the millennia-old monogram for the name of Jesus Christ.

Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, had adopted the monogram in his seal and it became an emblem of the Jesuit order.

When it comes to rendering unto Caesar, Georgetown is not going to be outshone by Notre Dame, which stole a march by offering the nation's avatar of abortion a doctorate of laws degree, honoris causa.

Actually, it is regrettable the IHS in Gaston Hall was not covered up in shame the first week of Lent. For that week Georgetown's feminist and homosexual clubs, such as GU Pride, put on a Gomorrah festival about alternative lifestyles called "Sex Positive Week."

Indeed, not only are many once-Catholic colleges and universities now wandering in what Pope Benedict XVI calls a "desert of godlessness," Catholic belief and practice are not remotely what they were before Vatican II. Where three-fourth of Catholics attended mass weekly in the 1950s, today it is one-fourth. A third of all Catholics raised in the Faith have fallen away.

How stupid is a liberal?

If the SAT test were used to determine how stupid a liberal is, one question would be: "The best defense against lawless rogues who possess _______ is for law-abiding individuals to surrender their own _______________."

Correct answer: Guns. We would also have accepted nuclear weapons.

"The shooter will eventually run out of ammo" strategy may not be the best one for stopping deranged multiple murderers.

How The Daily Show helped elect BO

I like ‘funny’. But why do some Americans get their news and political views from Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert? I will tell you, because it’s the easy way out. Why make tough choices when we can blame others for the difficulties of life and at the same time expect those same folks to bail you out of your current circumstances? Both of these sit down comics are water boys for the Democratic party and for Body Odor (B Obama). They have been successful at the blame others, it’s not my fault, gimme free stuff, depend on someone more responsible and ridicule those don’t think the same, schtick. This is the hallmark of the Looney Left. If you don’t buy into this mentality then you might have to actually make some serious choices in your life and do something that might actually be difficult! Oh, the humanity..

This country has always been the ‘Land of Opportunity’. For the vast majority of Americans opportunity abounds. Show me the person who does not have educational opportunities at their fingertips. Show me the person who cannot get ahead in life by working two jobs. Show me the individual for whom their position in life has been predetermined. Where you are in life is all based upon the choices you have made. As much as Looney Left would have you believe that all is going to be lollypops and gumdrops, some day you will come to the realization that it really has not happened. Before it’s too late, you had better realize the only person that is going to get you where you want to be in life, is YOU! And then you will be the responsible one. And you will be the one being asked to take care of the rest of the lazy asses that are unwilling to take care of themselves. So you see, there are really only two choices, either you stay at the bottom and be content with the handouts of others, or you work your way to the top and try to hang on to what you have worked so hard to achieve. You choose.

Obama boosts anti-abortion recruitment

Joe Biden is so pathetic

Biden Brags: I Beat George W. Bush in Arm Wrestling
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace

(2009-04-10) — Vice President Joe Biden, under fire from Karl Rove and other former Bush administration officials for bragging that he ridiculed George W. Bush face to face in the White House, today claimed he had also once defeated President Bush in arm wrestling.

“We were all alone in the Oval Office, as we often were,” said Mr. Biden, then a U.S. Senator. “I had just dissed old Georgie with another of my famous presidential put-downs, when he challenged me to arm wrestle…the truth from my lips to God’s ears, I swear. So we get down on our knees next to that little coffee table between the sofas. And I get the grip on him, you know, the old Biden clutch grip. It was over in seconds.”

The vice president said he had promised that he would never publicize the humiliating incident, “but now that Bush says he owes the Obama administration his silence, I feel at liberty to tell the story…you know, since he’s not going comment on it, and no one believes Karl Rove or Dick Cheney anyway.”

Mr. Biden added that President Bush had reacted angrily to his loss, and pushed the table over to clear the rug for a “winner-take-all Indian leg-wrestling bout,” but Sen. Biden politely declined.

“You gotta respect the office,” said Mr. Biden, “even if the man is a failed leader with absolutely no followers, and has a bicep like Ann Coulter’s wrist. It was pathetic.”

Obama's False Choice

If you are in the medical profession, you especially should read this

Emperor Obama

Free societies depend on a degree of skepticism towards government power. Increasingly, the federal government is starting to play God in America. If you are not yet frightened by that prospect, you should at least get outraged. The Obama administration may not realize why yet, but many Americans are already there.

Read here from AmericanSpectator.org

How did we elect such a fool?

Update:
The Navy Seals saved Capt Phillip's ass; and Obama's. The One is being praised for his calm and intelligence. Since when is doing abosolutely nothing, 'calm and intelligent'? I will give Body Odor credit for letting the military do what they do best. Lets do a lot more of the same!

sissy, pantywaist, wimp, wussy, pansy, fraidy-cat.. what a fubar.

President Pantywaist, has a ring to it. Has our Navy turned into a cruise line? Where are the Marines when you need them? I wonder how long President Reagan would of put up with pirates holding a US citizen hostage? The Carter induced Iranian hostages in 1980 were released as soon as Reagan took the oath of office. They knew what was in store for them.

More Update:
Despite the Obama administration’s (and its sycophants’) attempt to spin yesterday’s success as a result of bold, decisive leadership by the inexperienced president, the reality is nothing of the sort.

What should have been a standoff lasting only hours — as long as it took the USS Bainbridge and its team of NSWC operators to steam to the location — became an embarrassing four-day-and-counting standoff between a rag-tag handful of criminals with rifles and a U.S. Navy warship.

However, instead of taking direct, decisive action against the rag-tag group of gunmen, the Obama administration dilly-dallied, dawdled, and eschewed any decisiveness whatsoever, even in the face of enemy fire, in hopes that the situation would somehow resolve itself without violence. Thus, the administration sent a clear message to all who would threaten U.S. interests abroad that the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has no idea how to respond to such situations — and no real willingness to use military force to resolve them.

Like the crew of the Alabama, which took swift and decisive action to take back their own ship rather than wait for help from Washington that they knew could not be counted on, Captain Phillips took matters into his own hands for the second time in three days, leaping into the water to create a diversion and allowing the NSWC team to eliminate his captors. The result, of course, was the best that could possibly be expected: three pirates dead, the captain unharmed, and a fourth Somali man who had surrendered late Saturday night in custody.

Obama Reaches Out to Moderate Pirate Community


For too long, America has been too dismissive of the proud culture and invaluable contributions of the Pirate Community. Whether it is their pioneering work with prosthetics, husbandry of tropical birds or fanciful fashion sense, America owes a deep debt to Pirates.
The past eight years have shown a failure to appreciate the historic role of these noble seafarers. Instead of celebrating their entreprenuerial spirit and seeking to partner with them to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.
Some of us wonder if our current Overseas Contingency Operation would even be needed had the last administration not been so quick to label Pirates as "thieves," "terrorists" and worse. Such swashbucklaphobia can lead to tragic results, as we have seen this week.
To address this issue, I have instructed Vice President Joe Biden to create a cabinet-level Czar of Pirate Outreach and Buccaneer Interrelation. In addition, June 1-7 has been designated as Pirate Awareness Week, during which all federal buildings will fly the Jolly Roger and sponsor sensitivity training. Thankfully, my American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will fund free grog and hard tack for all attendees.

WHITE HOUSE: He wasn't bowing

I guess he was merely examining the hem of the kings robe...

Do they think we will believe anything?

I'm no racist; but stupid, is stupid!

Update: Useful Idiots!
"This is the dawning of a new day,'' exclaimed Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill. "In my household I told Castro he is known as the ultimate survivor."

Funny how easy it is to survive when you don't hold elections. And when all of your opponents wind up in prison or dead. And when even those who dare to whisper a word of dissent to your absolute rule find themselves harassed, beaten, humiliated, and imprisoned. According to the Black Book of Communism, more than 100,000 Cubans have served time for political offenses in Cuba's equivalent of the Gulag Archipelago since Castro came to power in 1959. Among those particularly singled out for persecution were human rights activists, homosexuals, and religious believers.

Cubans who dare to oppose the regime pay a terrible price. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., who led this delegation and has been a Castro apologist for decades, should be deeply ashamed. So should they all.

Cuba's atrocious record on race was somehow overlooked by the Congressional Black Caucus. Last week the Stalinist regime that jailed and tortured the longest suffering black political prisoner in modern history (Eusebio Penalver) rolled out the red carpet for 6 smitten members of the CBC. All of these U.S. legislators met with "President" Raul Castro while a lucky three secured back-stage passes to meet Fidel himself.

Not since Ann Margaret's reaction to Conrad Birdie's kiss has anything been recorded to match these U.S. legislators' reaction to these meetings.

"He looked directly into my eyes!" gasped Rep. Laura Richardson (D-Ca.) "and then he asked: how can we help President Obama? Fidel Castro really wants President Obama to succeed." (no doubt!)

"It was quite a moment to behold!" hyperventilated Rep. Barbara Lee. (D-CA) "Fidel Castro was very engaging and very energetic."

"He's one of the most amazing human beings I've ever met!" gushed Emanuel Cleaver(D-Mo)

"Raul Castro was a very engaging, down-to-earth and kind man," according to Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) "someone who I would favor as a neighbor. It was almost like visiting an old friend," (a Freudian slip, perhaps? Bobby Rush, after all, was a card-carrying Black Panther who did prison time)

Lest we forget: these Black U.S. legislators were raving about a regime that jailed political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin, and executed more people (out of a population of 6.4 million) in its first three years in power than Hitler executed (out of a population of 70 million) in the Reich's first six.

Obama's real message to Europe

Carol Negro at AmericanThinker.com

I wonder if the "world", particularly Western Europe, understands what Obama has just told them?

As they stand up and cheer for the insults to America its president delivers, did they understand what those words imply?

He told them America is not a good leader, that we are just one of many nations, that we are arrogant, pushy, derisive of their great wisdom and partnership, and will not act unilaterally in the future.

Now. Let me translate: "America won't be saving your ass ever again. You're on your own."Here's how that works out: Obama is under the impression that all the European Left's caw-caw-cawing about America is sincere and genuine; that they really want America to stand down and never act internationally and unilaterally for the right and the true. He seems to believe that the nations of Western Europe don't really want the United States to be ready to defend them at a moment's notice.

He seems to think the people of Western Europe don't want us to be the country policing nuclear weapons around the world. He seems to think Europeans don't want us to fight their battles in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

He believes the European Left. And believes it speaks for the European people. Perhaps it does. Perhaps the decades of safety and security provided by the unappreciated parent have made the spoiled brats forget that the house they live in was built with American blood and treasure, and protected with American heroes and watchfulness and vigilance. Perhaps they forget that all the money they do not spend on national defense is shouldered by the American taxpayer...leaving all that "extra" money in Europe to be spent on socialist policies -- convincing them that the world is not dangerous because Daddy-America is always on watch.

But Obama's apologies are carrier-waves for a deeper message that everyone seem to have missed — especially the cheering throngs of European Obamaniacs.

When they really need us next time, we won't be there to help. We won't do a thing without the political permission of the governments of Europe, and the direct participation of their 'armies'. We're disarming and weakening our military -- for peace -- as you all have done. We're going to spend our money on "social justice" and progressive programs, not our warmongering military.

We'll barely be able to defend our own homeland. You're on your own. When Russia expands, when Iran nukes, when North Korea lobs missiles, when China moves...you're on your own. When Africa implodes...you're on your own. When Jihadists terrorize...you're on your own. America the arrogant and unilateral will have mended her ways, and will not presume to police the world and insult you with her unseemly strength and offensive moral certainty.

That's the hidden message of Barack Obama. He doesn't like Europe any better than he likes America.

So, Europe... how do you like him now? You sure you still want to stand up and cheer?
