Can a person be so blind?

I continuously find myself asking the same question,"How do people not see this for what it really is?" I think to myself,"Am I crazy? Am I the one who doesn't see?". But facts don't lie. And all facts lead to a titanic violation of the rights of the governed. Said Congressional Rep. Alcee Hastings (D);

"I wish that I had been there when Thomas Edison made the remark that I think applies here: “There ain’t no rules around here, we’re trying to accomplish something.” And therefore, when the deal goes down, all this talk about rules, we make them up as we go along."

This has been the MO of the Democrats since taking control of the Executive and Legislative branches of government. Obama will lie through his teeth to get you to believe anything while he makes up the rules as he goes. For instance, just 36 hours after the Bill was voted through, Barack signed it. Of course he PROMISED not to sign any major piece of legislation without allowing for the people to view it for FIVE DAYS after it is voted through Congress. He promised not to hire lobbyists, yet his administration is riddled with them. He promised not to allow any pork barrel projects or ear marks, yet the Stimulus Bill, Jobs Bill, and even this very Health Bill are loaded with Billions in pork. All while he unabashedly touts a "Victory" as he signs them into law. When the man speaks, he lies. He sais our insurance rates will go down, but even the CBO sais our rates will increase 10-13%. He sais we won't be forced into a govt program, yet it will be against the law not to have insurance or you'll be penalized up to $2000 per year. Every provision in this bill is designed to kill private insurance, leading to a government-run, single payer system. Examples are endless.

What's worse is the rest of the Democrats are following his lead. Take Bart Stupak for example. A Self-proclaimed pro-life democrat who said he and his 12 fellow pro-life dems would not vote for the bill if it contained government funding of abortions. No true pro-life individual who believed in God would ever be able to support that bill. Yet here we find ourselves with a monstrosity of a health care legislation, and Stupak with his tale between his legs having submitted to Obama's Chicago-style bullying. Stupak either lies about being pro-life, or he simply has no true set of principals.


Some people simply do not want to hear to see the reality of what they are faced with: A Trotsky-ite extreme progressive trying to bully through an agenda which the vast majority of Americans are vehemently opposed to. Look at the numbers. Pelosi's approval rating is at 11%. Reid, 8%. Obama finds his disapproval rating at a record high every new poll that comes out, with a new high today at 51%. Yet he continues to plug his ears, put the blinders over his eyes and move forward.

The media blindly supports this agenda, waging war against real people who are voicing their opposition to the bill. Mainstream media were just caught in a lie accusing Tea Party protesters of "violent speech" and racial slurs. One station even said a Tea Party goer spit on a black congressman. Video of the event clearly showed NONE of these accusations happened. Yet there they are, CNN, NBC, CBS, and shows like the Daily Show, and Bill Maher reporting these complete fabrications.

Fifty Nine percent of Americans opposed this Bill. Only 39% supported it. It's clear the Democrats completely Dilluded themselves into thinking they could turn this frog into a prince. With this bill the Democrats alone have broken health care, and now they own it. The only bipartisan part of this process was the opposition to it.

There is a big house cleaning coming in 2010 and, with any luck, in the White House in 2012.

What decade is this?

I was working the other day at my hourly job, leisurely handing out samples of italian pasta, enjoying interactions with customers when I made a comment to one of my co-workers. I told him I thought it was funny that all the media outlets touted 2009 as the end of the Decade. They were saying 2010 was the start of the new decade when, in fact, 2011 is the start of the next decade. He immediately said, "your wrong, 2000 was the first year of the decade, so 2000-2009 was the first ten years." Thus started a lively, good-spirited debate on whether one counts 'zero' as a year. A customer overheard me and gave her input by saying to me ,"your wrong, he's right". She gave no argument for her position. She simply stated I was wrong, enjoyed a food sample and some free coffee, and continued her shopping. Well this got me wondering, "who is right? What decade are we in?"
Media outlets like the NY Times posted articles titled "Reflections on the First Decade of the 2000s", Business week titled an article, "Tumultuous first decade of 21st century comes to merciful end". Chicago Tribune "On to the next decade...", ABC News "End of the Decade", The Washington Post's Anne E. Kornblut wrote;
'It is my pleasure to push the button on this, the final White House pool
report of the decade.'
It doesn't take much searching to discover our calendar is the Gregorian Calendar. There is no year ZERO in the Gregorian Calendar. The year 1 A.D. is preceded by the year 1 B.C.E. Hence the decade would be years 1-10. The year 2000 was the tenth year of the final decade of the 2nd millenium. 2001 was actually the first year of the 3rd millenium. What are we going to do next year when we get to the actual end of the decade? Or will the Media, businesses, and Government continue to ignore this mathematical error?

Put your money where your mouth is

"Our progress has been unmistakable," Obama said as the new year began. "We've disrupted terrorist financing, cutting off recruiting chains, inflicted major losses on al-Qaida's leadership, thwarted plots here in the United States and saved countless American Lives." This was part of Obama's response to the Christmas day airplane attack, which was thwarted by brave Americans on the airplane itself.

It's interesting to see our flailing President grasping for any bit of credit he can get at a time when his administration is swimming in blunders and missteps. This President's attempt at self-praise for handling what he "inherited" is much like a Pro football player celebrating his catch after a first down, even though he's dropped three passes, missed key blocks, and took a personal foul for the celebration. There is no sense to it. Personally, I don't want to hear what you claim you've done right. I want to hear that you understand we are at war. I want to hear you have a grasp of your job as Commander-in-Chief. It is your primary job to protect the people of this Country from "enemies foreign, and domestic". I don't want to hear lies like "the system worked". I want to hear that you understand Fort Hood was part of this war, and another failure on the part of your administration and your policies. Obama, show the American people you are serious about protecting us from the Terrorists who are not targeting you, but us instead.
It has been a full year and still Obama and his staff are blaming the bush administration for everything from 9/11 to the economy. Yet just 10 months into the Bush administration 9/11 happened. So if one was to apply the same Liberal political tactic, shouldn't the responsibility be put on Clinton? In fact it was the Clinton administration and their policies that hamstrung the CIA and our other intelligence-gathering agencies, allowing the first bombing of the World trade center, an attempted plane attack on the White House, the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen, and ultimately 9/11. Let's not forget about the Oklahoma city bombing either. Yet for the next 8 years it would be the Bush administration's policies that would keep us safe from attack.
Now Obama you are in office, and already we have had civilians killed at Fort hood, and now another airplane attack that almost took American lives, had it not been for an equipment failure and the bravery of its civilian passengers. How do you respond? You say, "yes we missed that block, and we fumbled that ball, and we dropped these passes, but hey we did catch this pass over here!" All I can really say to you is this; It is the play you fail to do your job that will most likely be the difference between a loss or a win.
