My posts of Interesting Discussion on Obama's performance vis-a-vis Amesterdam-Detroit Islamic Terrorism and other issues Liberals usually get wrong
7 hours ago ·
Eugene Gonzalez Mike you are right on, Steve your logic has more holes than baby swiss on a NYC deli sandwich. (dont know either of you but nice to meet you and glad to join the discussion)
Mike you are absolutely right that Obama has done nothing by bowing to dictators and paling around with thugs, other than embolden our enemies. Iran laughs in our face with the timelines to cease their nuke plans. Russia emboldened, is developing next gen nuke missiles. Venezuela threatens to shoot our planes out of the sky. No one, I mean NO ONE has any respect for Obama and our 'standing' in the world has deteriorated precipitously. At least Bush stood for democracy and people respected him. Obama just wants to meet with the worst dictators on earth and snub our allies (ie sending back gifts from Britain, snubbing Japan on his Asia tour, and on and on). The only thing that terrorists understand is mighty and overwhelming force. Fear and weakness are the only languages they understand and they aren't fearful of Obama's weakness.
Obama begged the Chinese to give us another 'credit card' so he can spend helping his crony Dems get reelected, the Chinese (a communist country last time I checked) laughed and is giving us advice on spending. What took Bush 8 years to spend, Obama more than doubled it in just 10 months! Dow is up because Obama bails out big business on the backs of small business. (Dow=Blue Chips=biggest businesses in US). Smart money is flooding into inflation hedges ie commodities and short term bonds. In short, those with billions in assets are betting on next year being very ugly and they know that this is not a recovery...its another bubble. We may well be headed into a second wave of economic trouble once commercial and the largest group of residential mortgages reset. We've only just begun. My MBA professors pointed out many of these items that have been echoed by many in the business world.
ObamaCare is the biggest payoff to Big Pharma, Big Labor, and AARP in history and trial lawyers are left unaffected and our liberties are thrown in the gutter. They bought off moderate dems with huge sums of money through the 'louisiana purchase' and the 'cornhusker kickback.'
The majority of the U.S. DOES NOT want Obamacare (a -13 average polling via realclearpolitics of all major national polls) but they insist on stuffing it down our throats in the middle of the night (ironic that its criminals usual operating hours).
When you have Chicago's Mayor Daily sending warnings telling the President to moderate or get slaughtered in 2010, you know you have been following the wrong course (a radical liberal course) in a +20 conservative country. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/23/AR2009122302439_pf.htmlcom/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/23/AR2009122302439_pf.html
During week one of classes for my political science degree in college we learned that the party in power has lost seats in congress/senate since Lincoln (except two anomalies). 2010 may well end up in a blood bath for Dems because we got Change all right... We got change to the most despicable that politics brings. We got everything negative that Obama promised to get rid of in DC. No wonder DC is now referred to as Chicago on the Potomac.
Bush had his faults and I have always been one to criticize him for those shortcomings. If something is wrong, it is wrong regardless of the party. Country first! Obama and the left wing loons are totally out of touch and are destroying our future and our kids' future. Obama is a tyrant and would love nothing more to impose his Socialist & Statist prison of a society on America. 2010 will be a great year. You are either with the American people or you are out!!

Eugene Gonzalez Our brave CIA and Military that interrogated terrorists did not 'torture' ANYONE. Attorney General Holder, under sworn testimony was forced to answer that question and he himself stated that our brave soldiers and CIA officers did not 'torture'. Its a beautiful testimony as Holder gets tied up in knots over his own words saying Waterboarding=torture... we water board our own troops for training... but its not torture when we do it to our troops??? His explanation for that one is even more rich. Your anti-American cohorts did not succeed in 'renaming' interrogation into torture. It is NOT TORTURE for the millionth time. DEBATE IS OVER on that question. If you need more reading material start with the link below and you can google the well established facts yourself. Stop spouting the anti-American propaganda LIES of our enemies. Don't take my word for it, listen to what Holder (AKA SENIOR Partner of firm kindly defending these terrorists pro bono, in his career immediately preceding his appointment to AG post...Conflict of interest, the reasonable person has to say YES!).

RECAP... As a nation We don't torture, didn't torture, we never will torture. Stop the lies.
About LA plot... Anyone who does not know that these murderous Islamic terrorists want to kill any and every American they can, has issues of simple logic. They have been after us for decades. They hate us and most importantly they hate everything that the Left and Hollywood stand for. We conservatives are crazy enough to stick our necks on the line to defend even the wacky nut jobs on the far left because we are ACTUALLY the tolerant ones. We defend their sophomoric logic and juvenile reasoning because in America, you have a right to your opinion no matter how wrong you are. I just wish that the left had an ounce of the tolerance for conservatives that we show to the left. For all the talk of tolerance, the Left is the most intolerant and bigoted group of individuals I have ever met... And being in the military, I meet a lot of people from all over the US and the world (need look no further than the only Senator to be a former KKK member D-WV Senator Byrd also the highest ranking Dem and longest serving member) Oh and since I have lived in the "South" for the last 9 years of my life... I know one thing to be certain about southern democrats... They are democrats because the programs they push purposefully enslave the black population to a second class citizenry. My good friends' parents and family put on the Galavants Ferry Stump for Dems every election cycle. Again if you need google, I invite you to research. No one wins S. Carolina without going through Galavants Ferry. And no, today's Republicans are not yesterday's dems. Need I remind you that Republicans have always stood for freedom. Lincoln freed slaves and he started the GOP. We passed all but the last 1 of the 7 Civil Rights Acts. Dems only passed the last one as Johnny Come Latelys. So good job, better late than never I suppose.
Obama did bow...Its great to see in true form that you would like to redefine the meaning of "is" is (a la Bill Clinton perjury over Lewinsky, a cigar, and a not so clean blue dress).
Back rubbing, hand holding is it optimal, No. But Bush bowed to no one. Big difference.
About Saudi, anyone with an ounce of foreign policy knowledge understands that you have to work multilaterally sometimes with not the best of regimes to pursue your most important security objectives at the time. I mean FDR knew this and I dont fault him for joining with Stalin in WW2 to destroy our most pressing threats. To ignore this is to ignore history in its entirety.
About the Budget and Books... again you bend truth to its outer limits. GOP were horrible spenders AND they lost 2 elections because of it. Dems will be held to the same if not higher standard since they were rightfully complaining about it then. It was wrong under GOP it is wrong now. GOP doing it does not make it right in the past, present, or future so your suggestion that its okay now because GOP did it then is fundamentally flawed in logic.
Again on jobs you are wrong. Jobs go overseas because of the Dem's left arm the Unions. On this point I wrote an article that includes this very topic so I'd love for you to read and become informed. http://consitutionrebirth.blogspot.com/2009/07/im-american-with-hispanic-parents-and.htmlerican-with-hispanic-parents-and.html
Being in bed with Big Pharma is Obama's realm all alone so no deflecting there. What we need to lower pharmaceuticals and medical costs in general is to remove the third payer system and allow patients to purchase them directly. Problem now is that Medicare/Medicaid inflate the prices because people on these programs dont pay for the brand name pills themselves and instead let the Govt pick up the tab. Supply and demand are a wonderful thing. Basic econ can solve many of our Health Care problems. Problem is that Obama is doing the dirty with big Corporations. He has sold his soul and the soul of the Dem party.
Same sex marriage is a part of the same culture war that the Church of Godless has waged on the US for decades. Marriage is only the most important societal institution that has existed since the beginning of man entering into civil society thousands of years ago. It is the best environment to raise kids. Nature has predestined that and no liberal can ever change the majesty that God has created here on earth. Man and woman in a loving marriage provide the best environment for we humans to procreate and continue humanity on this earth. Of course liberals dont much care about that since they value plants and 'delta smelt' more than humans. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204731804574384731898375624.htmlcle/SB10001424052970204731804574384731898375624.html
You don't believe me... Google Obama's Science Czar Mike Holdren and his position papers and books on Forced Abortions and his programs on Mass Sterilization through our drinking water.
Skepticism is something i walk around with daily, hourly, and every minute. I dont just choose to do it when convenient. I question all of it always. Freedom is precious and we in the US are not guaranteed to always have it. We need to be constantly vigilant about what our government is doing, and these days they are like thieves that plot in the middle of the night while we sleep. I have burned up my congressman and senators phone lines and clogged email boxes and fax machines. They know how I feel. Senators Boxer, Feinstein, and Rep Brad Sherman are all spineless and all work for special interest in California. It is criminal what is going on right now in DC and California. Steve I believe you are well intentioned in your beliefs. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions, intentions are not good enough anymore. Both parties have enabled our Government to usurp powers beyond that which is delegated to them by the US Constitution. Obama is just doing it on steroids. "Government is not reason, it is not eloquence. It is force, and like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." -G Washington.

I'm American, with Hispanic Parents and Here's why I'm Conservative
As California Native, I once considered myself a Democrat. I was once a starry-eyed freshman-college student feeling the need to be in lock step with fellow college students in what at the time I believed was right. On the surface, how could you not be allured with the promise of stopping global/national poverty, equality for all, and helping the world?
I decided to delve deep into these issues and do the intellectually honest thing and study those issues I believed in so that I could more persuasively make those arguments. Oddly enough, the evidence overwhelmingly did not support the liberal perspective of the world. On the contrary the evidence proved to be strongly contrary to liberal perspective and closely aligned on conservative lines.
On poverty, how is the poor better served. You give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; you feed him for a lifetime. So is the idea of perpetual welfare. Now before liberals freak out, I care about the poor. I believe that there should be a very limited welfare system that helps those who GENUINELY fall into devastating times to get back on their feet and become productive members of society once again. That being said, welfare is one of the most cruel and inhumane social experiments in the history of the United States. Before Lyndon B Johnson’s Great Society came into effect, welfare rolls were at 4.1% of families. By 1980 the number skyrocketed to 10%. LBJ’s Great Society and War on Poverty utterly failed and everyone knew it. So much so that under Democratic President Bill Clinton, led by a Republican Congress welfare reform won stunning support and decreased welfare rolls by 60%! Welfare as envisioned by liberals is intended to create an underclass of society and a perpetual voter base. Welfare destroys human drive and motivation. Perpetual welfare is the new slavery. Liberals are interested in control not helping people, for if helping people were their goals then the results should speak for themselves. Liberals often speak in rhetorical flourishes with very little evidence to back up their programs. We need to demand RESULTS not intent. For all of liberals’ historical claims of restoring science to its rightful place, you would think that results would make a difference. Interestingly enough and despite results being stacked completely against their programs, they push them forward anyways.
Equality for all, how to best achieve it? To this question I have to direct our inquiry to the Constitution. Our founding document is brilliant in its careful and thoughtful construction as a document that preserves & protects our God given rights; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Once again we have to look at the results of the liberal cry that racism and injustice defines America. How can a people and country be racist and unjust if from within its own legal framework, all people regardless of race, religion, gender and any background were made free? In no other country has anyone from a group of people that at one point was considered slaves, have ever risen to the highest office in that same country and that same legal construct. Such is the case of the United States, a tribute to the Constitution and the struggle of the soldiers that have given their full measure of devotion that this country not perish from the earth.
The GOP has been a banner of conservative values and of upholding the constitution. To be considered a party of racists is factually and intellectually dishonest. No other party has done more to further the equal rights of man than the GOP. The GOP is the party of Lincoln that abolished slavery, freed 60% of our nation’s poor from dependency and a soft slavery. As quoted by Jerome Hudson, a fellow Republican and author of “Life of a Young Black Conservative” The GOP is the;
“Anti-Slavery Party, the party responsible for: the 13th (abolished slavery), 14th (gave former slaves full citizenship rights), the 15th Amendment (gave slaves voting rights), the Civil Rights Act of 1871(protecting southern blacks from the Ku Klux Klan), the Reconstruction Acts, and the 1866, 1875, 1957, 1960, and 1964 Civil Rights Acts.
And no, my brothers and sisters, yesterday’s southern Democrats are NOT today’s Republicans! If so, former Klansman, Sen. Robert Byrd—the highest ranking senate Democrat and President Pro-Tempore of the Senate—apparently didn’t get the memo and forgot to switch parties.
But it’s more than just the history. I’m proud to stand for self-empowerment, personal responsibility, strong family values, small government, low taxes, free markets, a strong military, and individual achievement etc.
And don’t even get me started on which side stands up for the precious 1.4 million unborn children (32% of whom are black), who will be casualties in the war inside the womb. When I see these so-called “black leaders” bashing conservatives for “racist policies,” I wonder how they justify cheering on the political team who proudly defends the annihilation of 13 million black children since 1973.”
On the last issue, helping the world. The best way to do so is through being the best country that we can be through empowering each individual to achieve unparalleled success. How could this be so, how can a capitalist system be the best for the world, doesn’t it promote selfishness and greed? I would say yes and no to that same question but here’s why. Capitalism is a system based on self-interest but why is that a bad thing. We are all self-interested by human nature and to say otherwise is dishonest. Even the most liberal individual donates money and time because he takes more self-interest in charity and that makes him/her feel better about him/herself. But how is it that this individual came to a financial position to be able to donate money and time? If this person hadn’t accumulated the wealth somehow then he wouldn’t be able to help others. If they hadn’t been self-interested enough to earn the money to pass it along then no one would benefit from the donation. Indeed, the richest individuals of this country have done more to feed poor and provide them with the basic necessities than a whole world of well wishes. That is the story of this great nation, one that has generated so much prosperity as to impel its citizens to generosity and the ability to help millions around the world through private donations. Our current administration seeks to alter this generosity by forcing people into volunteerism. Forcing people to do things is not volunteerism and we all need to forcefully argue that position. In this country “time is money” and government forcing us to give time is nothing short of theft. Charity should be of our own freewill and so should volunteerism. Any mandatory charity or volunteerism is in fact theft!
Another movement, Globalism, has been maligned for two reasons each of which are complete and utter false constructs of the left.
First is the issue of keeping jobs in the US and second is the claim that globalism is slave labor. Liberals domestic policies have forced jobs overseas. The death grip of labor unions in liberal states has created competitive disadvantages for American companies competing with foreign companies without those labor laws. Again, before liberals freak, I support fair treatment of workers and decent wages. What liberals are talking about is not that. Liberals again seek power. As we have seen with the current bankruptcy of Chrysler and GM, Labor Unions made out like bandits as this administration has completely erased 230+ years of bankruptcy laws and finance laws. Bondholders have always been first in line to receive the principal in their investment during a bankruptcy for a very good reason. This has enabled companies to borrow from investors and has been the backbone of capitalism. Bondholders were wiped out and as the first in line creditors have been given mere pennies on the dollar while Labor Unions were handed over control of two of the largest companies in the US. Labor Unions led to the bankruptcy of GM and Chrysler and now they are in charge of running them, along with the US government. Labor Unions are not interested in just wages and compensation. They have become insatiable beasts devouring the hand that feeds them. How is it that companies are vilified if they have conferences at country clubs but Labor Unions can own a $27 Million country club. Additionally, while the average American is struggling to keep jobs or find jobs, Labor Unions have plush jobs banks where members are earning a paycheck for doing nothing but sitting at home on the couch. Retirees in Labor Unions have unsustainable plush retirement plans (far higher than the industry average and even American average) that drain companies of capital, the average American has had their 401Ks or retirement vanish. GM and Chrysler were unable to adequately restructure because of the labor mandates requiring the factory to have a minimum number of jobs and a minimum number of hours allocated to each of the employees. While Toyota uses employees where a human touch is vital and machines for tasks that make economic sense, GM and Chrysler are forced to make decisions based on Labor Union mandate. How are American companies supposed to compete in that environment?
Globalism is not slave labor and evidence has pointed out that while to an American, working for $1 per day sounds inconceivable, that salary is a Godsend to citizens of a country whose average income is $0.50 per day. Furthermore, the idea that these workers work under the worst standards is also false because in example after example, those factories have in fact improved the standards of living and working conditions based on the conditions that are present in the country before their arrival. No they aren’t to American standards but as we have already discussed, not even the average American has the standards imposed on Unionized companies by the Labor Unions.
As I stated earlier, I am American with Hispanic parents. I choose to not hyphenate my identity because it is identity politics (mastered by Liberals) that has ripped this country in two. I choose to be American first because I identify first and foremost with our principals. I was born and raised in this great country and I refuse to let my allegiance to be split. I appreciate the music, the food, and the culture that my parents were raised in. I do not denounce any of it. I just believe that American principles are far superior and have produced the best civilization in the history of humanity. I seek to conserve those principals and that civilization. So yes I am proudly a conservative and member of the Grand Old Party!

FORGETTING SARAH PALIN
July 8, 2009
Sarah Palin has deeply disappointed her enemies. People who hate her guts feel she's really let them down by resigning.
She's like the ex-girlfriend they're SO over, never want to see again, have already forgotten about -- really, it's O-ver -- but they just can't stop talking about her.
Liberal: Ha, ha ... Sarah who? She's over, she's toast, a future Trivial Pursuit answer, nothing more.
Normal person: Whatever. How about the North Korean missiles?
Liberal: Can you believe she just resigned the governorship like that? What a quitter!
Normal person: Speaking of quitting, how's work?
Liberal: Did you hear she might get a TV show? There's no way Sarah Palin's getting a TV show! No way! I can't believe stupid Sarah Palin could get her own stupid TV show now. Well, I'm sure not gonna watch it -- that's for sure!
Normal person: Have you seen all the Michael Jackson coverage on TV?
Liberal: How does she think she can run for president in 2012 if she can't finish her term as governor of a Podunk state? She's finished.
Normal person: OK, then! You won't have to vote for her.
Liberal: I was never going to vote for her! But now I'm not going to vote for her twice. And I will never watch her TV show. I am so over her.
Reporters had already written their stories on Palin's press conference -- "rambling!" "incoherent!" -- before she even stepped to the podium.
Whatever you think of Palin, her argument for resigning was the opposite of "rambling" and "incoherent."
Palin's basketball analogy couldn't have been clearer, even to prissy liberal pundits who get uncomfortable when the subject turns to sports: She decided to destroy the other team's game plan, which has been to obsessively focus on her, by resigning.
This is particularly apt here -- she's passing the ball to a fantastic right-wing lieutenant governor, who shares her principles but doesn't set off the left's neuroses.
This is better for him, better for the state, better for the conservative program and better for Palin personally, whose family is sick of all the crap. Now she can make a lot of money and promote conservatism on a national stage.
It certainly won't be held against Palin by people who don't already loathe her. (On the other hand, her approval ratings among people who think she's worse than Hitler are down to 48 percent.)
With the left frenetically filing ethics complaint after ethics complaint against Palin, costing her state millions of dollars and her personally half a million dollars, citizens of Alaska must be asking, "Can we please have our state back?"
But to read the news reports -- which actually were rambling and incoherent -- you would think Palin was speaking in tongues.
The truth is liberals are furious they won't have Sarah Palin to kick around anymore -- at least not with Palin's hands tied behind her back by her public office.
Something tells me Keith Olbermann isn't going to be pulling any big numbers this summer attacking Eric Cantor and Michele Bachmann. I don't anticipate any sudden outbreaks of "Mitch McConnell Derangement Syndrome."
Soon we'll only hear about Keith when his creepy e-mails using his mother's death to hit on chicks start making the rounds again. (Tip to Keith: When a girl refuses to give you her phone number, her assistant's phone number or her personal e-mail address, and only gives you her assistant's e-mail address, you're not halfway in the sack.)
Bonus: If Olbermann gets canceled as a result of Palin's resignation, that will put her in a really good position for 2012.
But instead of being honest and saying, "Oh well, it was a good ride while it lasted," liberal chatterers indignantly demand: "Is this not the greatest betrayal a public servant ever committed against the people?"
On one hand, liberals are enraged at the heinousness of Mark Sanford -- whom they didn't vote for -- for not resigning and, on the other, they're enraged at Palin -- whom they also didn't vote for -- for resigning.
The peculiarly venomous hatred of Palin is driven by women of the left and their whipped consorts. All that needs to happen is for a feminist to overhear two Nation readers saying, "I hate to admit it, but Palin is kind of hot" and ...
WHAT??????????? YOU CALL THAT HOT? I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT A MEGA-SUPER HOTTIE IN DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. AND NEED I REMIND YOU AGAIN OF THE RAW SEX APPEAL OF RACHEL MADDOW?
Democrats are a party of women, and nothing drives them off their gourds like a beautiful Christian conservative. (How much money has that other beautiful born-again, Carrie Prejean, been forced to spend on lawyers to respond to liberal hysteria?)
So the motives are clear, but the money is not. Who is paying the rent for the losers filing all these frivolous complaints against Palin?
At least when Richard Mellon Scaife was funding investigations of Bill Clinton, we knew who Scaife was, he was an American citizen, and his money was accessible to U.S. tax authorities and not stashed in offshore accounts like a certain Hungarian Nazi-collaborator I can name.
How about some modern-day Scaife investigate the investigators?
