Stickers Leave Firefighter In Hot Water

Firefighter Mike Di’Giacomo said his SUV is banned from in the firehouse because the bumper stickers he has on it, displays his political views. Di’Giacomo said he has never run into a problem like this in the 10 years he has been with the department. The bumper stickers read:

China And Obamao aka Maobama

A Polish news service reports that Obama has created a furor in China. The reason? The Chinese people are applauding the similarity between Mao Tse-Tung and US President Obama. During the Obama election campaign, he achieved celebrity status. Now, he is admired because his election is a victory for leftist ideology. The Chinese internet has been flooded with pages and pictures praising Obama and comparing him to Mao Tse-Tung.

Obama’s Man-Caused Disaster Chickens Come Home to Roost

In her first testimony before Congress back in March of this year, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano laid the groundwork for the Obama administration’s new “politically correct” Homeland Security doctrine. Without ever mentioning “terrorist” or “terrorism” during her testimony, Secretary Napolitano put forth the politically correct term for those two words: “man-caused disaster.” Defining the term as “nuance” to the German news site Spiegel Online, Secretary Napolitano further stated, “…it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.” The “T”-word has been off limits by the Obama administration ever since.

More White House Economic Baloney

Of the many thoughts I had watching President Barack Obama’s umpteenth speech on the economy Thursday morning, the most troubling was his refusal to accept responsibility for his disastrous policies. With unemployment having soared to 10.2 percent, wouldn’t it have been reasonable to expect that any Obama speech on the economy would at least acknowledge that his “stimulus” plan didn’t come close to achieving the results he promised, starting with his claim that unemployment would peak at 8 percent?

Another Afghan war: Media leaks spark administration fight

The Obama administration’s internal debate over Afghan policy has escalated into a battle of media leaks that’s straining relations between officials who’re seeking a major troop increase and those who want a more limited approach and a greater focus on domestic priorities. The feud also has poisoned ties between the top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan and the U.S. ambassador in Kabul, and left the administration struggling for leverage to press Afghan President Hamid Karzai to appoint untainted officials to his new government, attack corruption and share power with the parliament and provincial officials.

On vacation with Mr. Dithers

Every modern president takes refuge abroad when the going gets rough at home. (Before the jet airplane life was simpler and presidents could get respite with a train trip to Cleveland or Buffalo.) So President Obama is off to Asia, where never will necessarily be heard an encouraging word, but he won’t have to listen to criticism in the Queen’s English. His approval ratings are continuing to sink — down now to 46 percent, measured by reliable Rasmussen Reports. Nancy Pelosi’s euphoria over her razor-thin passage of the fanciful House version of Obamacare is fading in the wake of rising Senate opposition to the thousand pages of Mzz Pelosi’s poisoned mush. The president continues to dither over what, if anything, to do about the war in Afghanistan, which he once called “the necessary war.” Soon he won’t be “Mr. President” so much as “Mr. Dithers.” [Damn, Obama is making ANOTHER overseas trip on our dime while the nation is falling apart at the seams?

Barrick shuts hedge book as world gold supply runs out

Aaron Regent, president of the Canadian gold giant, said that global output has been falling by roughly 1m ounces a year since the start of the decade. Total mine supply has dropped by 10pc as ore quality erodes, implying that the roaring bull market of the last eight years may have further to run. “There is a strong case to be made that we are already at ‘peak gold’,” he told The Daily Telegraph at the RBC’s annual gold conference in London. “Production peaked around 2000 and it has been in decline ever since, and we forecast that decline to continue. It is increasingly difficult to find ore,” he said. Ore grades have fallen from around 12 grams per tonne in 1950 to nearer 3 grams in the US, Canada, and Australia. South Africa’s output has halved since peaking in 1970.

Debt is Destroying the Dollar

One of the many television commercials exhorting viewers to buy gold says solemnly that it is an asset whose value “has never dropped to zero,” a boast that surely sets a record for minimalism. Still, the world’s appetite for gold as an investment option is intensifying. Last month, India purchased 200 tons of gold at $1,045 an ounce, before the price topped $1,108 on Monday. China, too, may increasingly diversify from paper — i.e., bonds — into gold, the price of which, some experienced investors believe, could soar to $2,500 an ounce in three to five years. One reason for all this is U.S. behavior. (SNIP) America, says Lindsey, will not become Weimar Germany, where hyperinflation caused people to rush to stores with satchels of rapidly depreciating currency. But, he adds, no country has successfully behaved the way the United States is behaving. [Understand that what has been done to this country by the current administration is by deliberate design.

Federal Deficit Hits October Record of $176 Billion

The U.S. budget deficit for October surged to $176 billion, a record for the month, the Treasury Department announced today. During the month, the government racked up $311 billion in outlays compared with $135 billion in receipts. The October numbers mark the first month for the new fiscal year after the U.S. wrapped up the 2009 fiscal year that ended on September 30 with a record-high $1.4 trillion budget deficit due to increased government spending to stop the recession and the financial crisis. The final deficit for the 2009 fiscal year was equal to 10 percent of the nation’s GDP, the highest shortfall relative to GDP since 1945, the final year of World War II.

Perry: Obama ‘hell-bent’ on socialism

Texas GOP Gov. Rick Perry accused President Barack Obama on Wednesday of “punishing” Texas and being “hell-bent” on turning the United States into a socialist country. Speaking at a luncheon for a Midland County Republican Women’s group, Perry said that “this is an administration hell-bent toward taking American towards a socialist country. And we all don’t need to be afraid to say that because that’s what it is.” Perry praised the tea party movement to the Republican activists in attendance, crediting the grassroots groups with discouraging some Democrats in Washington from pushing for a public option in the health care bill.

The Man Who Despises America

The very next paragraph is going to make the nut jobs on the far left excitable beyond belief. I am not referring to all Democrats or even a majority of liberals. I am singling out the “they’ve-lost-all-touch-with-reality” crowd. This includes Media Matters for America led by the admitted hit-and-run, drunk-driving serial liar. The group includes the unshaven, bathrobe-clad unemployed who live in their mother’s basement and are devout followers of MoveOn.Org. It is also the bitter, aging spinster working at the New York Times, the morbidly obese documentary film maker, and cable TV news’ resident drama queen who hosts MSNBC’s Countdown. They are about to simultaneously suffer from brain aneurisms. So without further delay, I’ll say it. Barack Obama despises America.

Pumped-up prices: $4 per gallon gasoline may be coming in 2010

Has this been a trying decade for the average American, or what? It’s bad enough that we’ve have had to cope with stagnant wages and tax increases at just about every level. But in the months ahead, we may have to deal with yet another nightmare: surging gasoline prices. Factors are lining up that could end up pushing gas prices back over $4 per gallon sometime next year. If you’re already exasperated about prices at the pump, you’re not the only one. Gasoline demand in 2009 has been comparatively low — take 7.6 million Americans out of the workforce through layoffs — yet gasoline’s price has gone up, not down.

1775: Founding of the Marine Corps. A legacy is born

During the American Revolution, many important political discussions took place in the inns and taverns of Philadelphia, including the founding of the Marine Corps.

The resolution was approved on November 10, 1775, officially forming the Continental Marines. [Happy Birthday USMC!…ed]

Liberal Concedes Health Care Bill Will Create New Entitlement “Impossible to Rescind”

Like most liberals, the John Cassidy supports the passage of health care legislation. But, unlike most liberals, he’s honest about the costs and consequences of passing it. Via WSJ, I see this item Cassidy recently wrote. While the substance should not surprise anybody who is a regular reader of this blog, it is rather startling coming from the pages of the New Yorker. “[W]e will be dealing with its consequences for decades to come, and I think it’s important to be clear about what the reform amounts to,” Cassidy wrote. He goes on to confess that, “The future cost savings that the Administration and its congressional allies are promising to deliver are based on wishful thinking and sleight of hand. Over time, the reform, as proposed, would almost certainly add substantially to the budget deficit, thereby worsening the long-term fiscal crisis that the country faces.” [This isn’t news to anybody who has been paying attention to what is going on with this ObamaCare crap…ed]

Lieberman on Public Option Health Care: ‘I Have No Other Choice … I’ve Got To Stop It’

I want to vote for health care reform.” [This man has flip flopped on so many issues over the years one has to wonder just what he is REALLY up to with all this talk about opposing the government takeover of our healthcare system…ed]

Dems Rejected 11 Amendments Requiring Congress to Enroll in Gov’t-Run Health Plan

More than 200 amendments were rejected by the House Rules Committee ahead of Saturday’s vote on the Democrats’ health care bill, including 11 that would have required members of Congress and other government officials to be enrolled in the same federal insurance plan proposed for the American people. Critics of the health care bill said they offered the 11 amendments – including some that would require the president, vice president, and Supreme Court justices to give up their Federal Employees Health Benefit Program (FEHBP) to enroll in the ‘public option’ or Medicaid – to showcase the problems with the massive legislation. “If Congress forces our constituents into a public option plan over time, then members of Congress should be expected to do the same,” Rep. Howard McKeon (R-Calif.) told CNSNews.com. [Odd that Democrats would refuse to be a part of this ObamaCare mess they are attempting to force the rest of us into…ed]

Interview with the President: Jail Time for Those without Health Care Insurance?

During an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Jake Tapper today, President Obama said that penalties are appropriate for people who try to “free ride” the health care system but stopped short of endorsing the threat of jail time for those who refuse to pay a fine for not having insurance. “What I think is appropriate is that in the same way that everybody has to get auto insurance and if you don’t, you’re subject to some penalty, that in this situation, if you have the ability to buy insurance, it’s affordable and you choose not to do so, forcing you and me and everybody else to subsidize you, you know, there’s a thousand dollar hidden tax that families all across America are — are burdened by because of the fact that people don’t have health insurance, you know, there’s nothing wrong with a penalty.” [It has already been established that the possibility of jail time for refusing to go along with ObamaCare is a reality even if the fibber in chief refuses to admit it…ed]

Which industry contributed more than five times as much as the other to politicians: the oil & gas industry, or lawyers/law firms? 3. Bush’s Christian faith was at the core of his political identity, and he was considered to be in the grip of the “religious right,” while Obama is considered more open-minded.

‘Cop Killer’ Gun Used In Ft. Hood Shooting, Officials Said

The gun thought to be used in the Fort Hood massacre packs so much firepower, it’s known as ‘the Cop Killer,’ federal law enforcement officials said. Major Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly packed a FN Herstal Five-seveN tactical pistol, which according to federal law enforcement officials, was legally purchased from the “Guns Galore” shop in Killeen, Texas in Aug. 2009. The store’s manager, David Cheadle, said that particular firearm can hold 20 rounds in a standard clip and take a ten round clip extension. Cheadle said with one clip and one round in the chamber, one could fire 31 rounds before reloading. Hasan may have used an expanded clip in the shooting. [Leave it to the lamestream media, in this case abc “news” to come up with a stupid headline to a stupid story like this. Hey you dolts at abc, ANY gun can be used by ANY criminal to kill ANYBODY.

We Need an Ask and Tell Policy Regarding Jihadists in Our Military

When the initial news reports started pouring out of Fort Hood about the mass murder (read terrorist attack) of some of America’s finest, I turned to my wife and daughter and without hesitation said, “I’ll bet you a hundred bucks it was a Muslim.” I was spot on. But shame on me for thinking such a thing, right? (Yeah, those of us who immediately thought that the murderer, given the circumstances, had to be a Muslim, we’re the bad guys.) Yep, a Religion of Peace adherent, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, as you well know by now, opened fire as he screamed “Allahu Akbar!” on a room full of unarmed soldiers, killing 13 and wounding 30.

Did Obama Just Convict the Suspected Fort Hood Shooter?

President Obama began his weekly Internet and radio address on Saturday with these words: “This past Thursday, on a clear Texas afternoon, an Army psychiatrist walked into the Soldier Readiness Processing Center, and began shooting his fellow soldiers.” Did the president, speaking directly about the man suspected in the killings, prejudice any jury that might be called to hear the case?

Fort Hood gunman had told US military colleagues that infidels should have their throats cut

Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America’s Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats. He also told colleagues at America’s top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July. Colleagues had expected a discussion on a medical issue but were instead given an extremist interpretation of the Koran, which Hasan appeared to believe.

Fort Hood shooting: Texas army killer linked to September 11 terrorists

Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother’s funeral was held there in May that year. The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations. Hasan’s eyes “lit up” when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki’s teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday’s horrific shooting spree. As investigators look at Hasan’s motives and mindset, his attendance at the mosque could be an important piece of the jigsaw. Al-Awlaki moved to Dar al-Hijrah as imam in January, 2001, from the west coast, and three months later the September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour began attending his services. A third hijacker attended his services in California. [Hey Obama, I think I’ll go ahead and “jump to conclusions” about this guy now if that’s OK with you…ed]
