Obama Ceding Territory Back to Mexico?

In an astonishing action, our dear President, has now taken the step of ceding part of the U.S. back to Mexico. No, this can't be true you say. But it is. The U.S. has posted signs along a 80 mile stretch of federal land known as the Buenos Aires Wildlife Refuge, warning citizens to stay out due to potential violence by Mexican drug cartels. This places this section of land off limits to American citizens leaving criminals based in Mexico free to control this section of land.

Here we have a President who criticizes Arizona for passing an anti-illegal immigration law to help protect itself and then takes action that, in effect, cedes part of that state to Mexican criminals rather than take appropriate action to defend our borders. This amounts to the President failing to keep his oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States which includes its national security and should be an impeachable offense. This, of course, will hardly happen given this absurdly disastrous and compliant Congress. I'm almost starting to believe that this President may indeed be a "Manchurian Candidate" planted to subvert our Constitution and way of life. It's almost surreal.

Obama, Israel, and Iran

It is very obvious now that President Obama does not have a clue how to put a halt to Iran's nuclear weapon program other than through appeasement and almost laughable sanctions. Although Iran states that it only has the intent to use enriched uranium for peaceful purposes, most of the world knows that nuclear weaponry is very much on Iran's mind. It's obvious hatred of Israel and it's belligerent attitude toward that country gives Israel no choice but to take this matter seriously and consider a preemptive strike on Iran with or without the help of the U.S. So how can Israel force Obama's hand to take a tough and effective stand towards Iran's nuclear ambitions including the threat of military force?

I propose that Israel secretly convey to Obama through backdoor channels that if the U.S. does not take appropriate action to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons that it will be forced to strike Iran with conventional weapons including bunker busting bombs. It should add that if Iran retaliates and orders Hezbollah and Hamas to attack as well, and the U.S. does not come to Israel's aid, it would have no choice but to react with everything in it's arsenal including the use of nuclear weapons on Iran. It would tell the Obama administration that it would have no choice in protecting itself. It would say that if Obama chooses to leak this threat and try to spin it against Israel, it will deny it.

Unfortunately, because we have a very weak President who seems intent on appeasing enemies and dissing allies, Israel, as well as other countries that have always relied on U.S. military might, can no longer depend on the U.S. for protection. Our foreign policy has been terribly weakened by this President and it is unfortunate that a good ally like Israel may be forced to issue such a threat to force the U.S. into taking a stand. I don't know if it would work but Israel may have no choice with this president. Will it defend itself much like a grizzly bear backed into a corner, or would it just give up more territory to appease the U.S. and the rest of the world leading ultimately to its demise?

The First Un-American President

I think I was too kind in my last post about Obama being the first post-American President. I never thought I would see a President side with a foreign leader (the Mexican President), against one of our states. This excuse for a President is the most divisive, radical, and un-American person we have ever had as a President. In fact it would be real funny, if it weren't so real. America better wake up!

Obama: The First Post-American President

Yes, you heard me. Barack Hussein Obama is well on his way in becoming the first post-American President. He has been bent on transforming this country into something we soon will not recognize - an America that apologizes for its past, shuns exceptionalism, and redistributes wealth to an extreme while increasing the size and power of government over our economy and our lives - the Constitution be damned, full speed ahead. This is Obama's post-American vision.

President Reagan once referred to America as the "shining city on the hill" that serves as an example to the world of a prosperous and free society. Well, we can forget that vision as our dear leader is now taking us on a course that will destroy the wealth and opportunities for all Americans and reduce economic and individual freedom. We will become just another socialistic society taking wealth from the productive elements (while it lasts) and converting it to perpetual handouts, thus, destroying the individual's motivation to improve the quality of life for themselves and their family.

At the same time our military capability is being systematically weakened to eventually make it less capable of deterring potential foes such as China and Russia if they desire to expand their imperialism. I'm sure both of these countries, as well as smaller ones like Iran, Venezuela, etc. are happy to see our President take steps to diminish its military and nuclear capability as well as apologize for our existence thereby reducing its influence on the world, leaving these countries free to do as they will.

Our mainstream media can't get enough of its "charismatic" leader, who can't keep his facts straight and speak coherently without a teleprompter, and props his image up daily by making things look better then they really are, such as, good news when unemployment goes up and not reporting the "bad" news if it implicates the President's anti-capitalism, socialistic, man-made global warming, big spending, and debt ridden agenda. In addition he continues to divide this country through class envy and race baiting deepening the chasm between the "have" and "have not's" and the various race and cultural sectors of our society. If it weren't for his fawning media coverage, his approval poll numbers would most likely be at least 10 points lower somewhere in the mid to upper 30's.

Our only hope to turn back his disastrous and destructive policies is through public support for the obvious alternative political agenda of a much smaller less intrusive government, drastically reduced spending, decreased taxes, a strong military, and support for potential candidates aligned with these policies. It may take a few election cycles to reverse the serious damage already done by this administration, but I remain confident that enough of the "real" America is left to make this possible.

Obama's Afghan Retreat

Well, as we all heard President Obama announced his decision to send approximately 30,000 more troops into Afghanistan over the next few months. In a very uninspiring speech to a mostly uninspired West Point audience, he added that he will begin to pull the troops out 18 months from now. That must be very heartening to the Afghan population who will have to choose between being loyal to the present U.S. supported Afghan government or the Taliban. Who would you try not to tick off, the weak Afghan government, or the Taliban who will be around in one form or another after the bulk of the Western forces leave before the job is done?

What the President and Commander-in-Chief really meant was that he was adding additional troops to cover his retreat just when the 2012 Presidential primary season begins in mid 2011. Well isn't that a coincidence. I believe he has no intention of seeing this war end in "victory" - a term that seems illusive to him. It is only a means to a self serving political end - his re-election. I know my view seems harsh and I hope I'm wrong, but who else would telegraph their intentions in a war. How do you think the Afghan government officials think, especially those adamantly opposed to the Taliban? Without U.S. protection they may be in great danger once the withdrawal takes place. How do you think many in the military feel that they may be risking their lives for something far short of victory? The world is watching every move the U.S. takes, and what they see is weakness, not strength of purpose.

Somehow the President was able to convince his military commanders and Secretary Gates that he means to stick it out given the conditions on the ground, but what are these conditions specifically, and who will interpret these conditions when they are met? The President hopes he can convince our NATO allies to send more troops but their resources are limited. Much of their governments' spending was diverted to the costs of running socialist systems at the expense of their military, plus the fact that they became all too dependent on America's military might to protect them over the last 60 plus years.

I don't remember a time when President Bush put the budget before our national security, but President Obama mentioned the monetary cost of the war in his speech, as well as on other occasions. He is worried the military spending will stifle his very costly socialist agenda. I don't know anything that trumps the cost of protecting our nation, but I feel he thinks much differently. I believe that his heart isn't in this fight against radical Islamic fascism, and his uninspired speech shows it. And Iran - well, that is another matter.

Marxism is Back

Yes folks, Marxism has returned to rear its ugly head. But this time it is right in our own backyard. Obama and his cronies are fast infiltrating the government more rapidly and efficiently then even I predicted prior to his election. He certainly meant what he said when he wanted to "remake" America. In the 1950's we had all sorts of fears that communists were infiltrating the government. At the time those warnings may have been overdone and premature, but today we have a cult like figure supported by an unsuspecting and incompetent press allowing this socialist/communist "makeover" and they still don't seem to realize the danger to our country's future. It's much like the old story of the frog sitting in cold water while the water is slowly heated to a boil until it's too late to jump out. Well, the pot is getting warmer, much warmer.

The "vetting" process during the 2007/2008 primary normally would have exposed a candidate's background and political philosophy, but the mainstream media totally ignored Obama's radical Marxist/Socialist associations which would have exposed his political agenda and he would have been summarily rejected. But no, instead he was able to mesmerise the media and throngs of people into drinking the "kool-aid" of his message of "change" and "hope". They didn't seem to care what "change" or "hope" he was talking about. This was the perfect stage to allow the possibility of tyranny to reign once they legitimized his election.

The Associated Press recently assigned 11 reporters to fact check Sarah Palin's new book even before it's official release, and I can't think of any fact checking done by them on Barack Obama's two books that been in print for quite sometime. Instead they should be assigning these reporters to fact checking the horrendous health reform and cap and tax bills passed by the House. The media didn't seem to care what influence the Reverend Wright, William Ayres, and other radical associations had on his political philosophy. They still don't seem to care. The media made his fame and so now he is too big to fail in their eyes, so I won't hold my breath.

I know it's hard to believe, but the 2010 elections are going to be a referendum on whether our country will continue to be based on a free market capitalist system or a Marxist/Socialist regime, that is, if it's not too late by the time we get there.

Open Letter on Health Care to Selected Senators/Representatives

Just a word or two to let you and your fellow colleagues know that I
am fully against any further intrusion of government into our health
care system. Government meddling is slowly ruining our health care
system and health care will deteriorate further if government
expansion is allowed through a public plan or other requirements
and/or restrictions. Government programs like Medicare and
Medicaid have been one of the primary reasons why health care costs
have increased in the past 40 plus years by passing much of the
provider costs to the private sector and depriving health care
providers with adequate reimbursements. This will only worsen with
any form of a government-funded public option or health “co-op”.
We must also allow health insurers to adequately compete by
reducing the amount of federal and state regulation that discourages
competition across state lines thus giving people more choices. A
combination of increased availability of catastrophic insurance and
health savings accounts along with tax credits is a much better
alternative. Tax credits for U.S. citizens could be used to help
purchase a private plan with further subsidies for those truly in need
economically. This will be a lot cheaper than increasing the federal
intrusion into the industry. Additionally, illegal aliens should NOT be
eligible for government subsidized health care with the exception of
legitimate emergencies. Any emergency health care can be billed to
their home country while they are being safely deported.

More government programs are NOT the answer.
