Socialist Norway presents Pro-Socialist Obama with Peace Prize

socialismWhy it is a surprise that the Socialist nation of Norway presented President Obama with the Nobel Peace prize?  Norway, which is currently controlled by the Red-Green Party, a coalition between Norway’s Labor, Centre, and Socialist parties, has presented the prize since it’s creation and was chosen as the award givers due to their weak foreign policy and laissez-faire attitude towards conflict.  Unlike the Nobel Prizes for science, which is given by Switzerland, the Peace prize has always been a Socialist political statement intended to reign down praise on one of Socialism’s power hungry followers for “all the good they have done.”  This is Socialism at it’s finest.  Let’s create an award to give to one of our own and we can eat and drink and be merry about how wonderful we are while the whole world watches (or better continues on with their lives ignoring your royal asses).

Still, even with it’s Socialist leanings, this is an interesting statement by all the Marxists and Communists of the world, awarding Obama with the prize.  They are foaming at the mouth with anticipation as they watch and hope that America finally can be brought down where it belongs with sick, old Europe and its wonderful socialist tendencies.

While the prize means nothing to everyday people both here and abroad, it is amusing to watch the left of the world go viral over the award.  If there was any doubt about Obama’s political leanings, after his pro-Marxist University papers, his admission that Karl Marx was a hero in two of his books, and his actions as president thus far, this award can put all concern to rest, he is a socialist.

On a side note:  It is interesting to note that Alfred Nobel intended for the Peace prize to be given to “the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”  Obama has been in political power for under one year, has not succeeded in coming to any “peace” agreement with North Korea, Iran or the Palestinians.  He has not pulled our troops out of Iraq (yet), and has sent an additional 26,000 troops to Afghanistan (the only smart thing he has done).

My guess is that the socialists see his weakening of America, his apology tour 2009 and his unwavering support for the (anti-Semitic, pro anything not American or Jewish) United Nations as bringing fraternity between nations (excluding America) and promoting peace congresses.

So this is Liberal civility, no fear mongering here!

ACORN embezzled $5M NOT $1M, Bertha Lewis still lying.

Compliments of Federal tax payer dollars

Compliments of Federal tax payer dollars

Bertha Lewis, CEO of ACORN, has not changed a single talking point in the deceitful playbook of ACORN media relations.  She looks the camera in the lens and lies.  She has repeatedly denied obvious and proven allegations of voter fraud, tax evasion counseling and embezzlement. Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell has released information from a subpoena of an ACORN Board of Directors investigation that shows that the embezzlement was to the sunm of $5 million not the original estimate of $1 million.

Caldwell subpoenaed documents in August of this year looking for documents related to ACORN International’s former President Wade Rathke  and Dale Rathke, his brother who managed ACORN’s books. Violations of the Employee Retirement Security Act as well as state employee tax law and obstruction of justice issues where at the core of the subpoenas. It was determined through documents of a Board Of Director’s meeting that the amount was actually $5 million.  This number came from the lips of Bertha Lewis, CEO and repeated by board member Liz Wolfe.  So, after the information is made public, who denies the embezzlement claims and calls them “completely false”? None other than good old Bertha Lewis.

Today, as I write this, she is doing the same thing while addressing the National Press Club.  Thus far she has denied any wrong doing on the part of ACORN.  Blaming everyone from politicians to the filmmakers of the explosive “prostitution tax evasion videos” but not admitting anything other than the amazing work that ACORN does for the American people (translation: the amazing partisan work ACORN does for the Democratic party).  ACORN is a federally funded organization that lies, cheats and spends tax payers money to push a liberal agenda and build a support network for the Democratic party.

Democrats, both voters and politicians, should be ashamed of themselves for supporting this organization.  The federal funding of partisan programs (usually liberal) is unacceptable and cheapens American government and politics.  The public is in charge and their voice is the only one that matters.  If an issue deserves attention, it is the responsibility of that issues supporters or opponents to organize and publicize.  It is not the job of politically aligned organizations to push agenda’s using tax payer money.  And it is certainly not acceptable to break federal and state laws while doing so.  Shame, Shame, Shame.

Bertha Lewis, you lie!

Run Barry, Run!

Afghanistan is (not) a priority to White House…Gibbs still an idiot

Robert Gibbs, the most competent, masterful and articulate speaker of the house since John Adams (according to MSNBC) once again has shown the American people that he is indeed a moron.  Asked today whether the White House was committed to the War in Afghanistan, Gibbs responded “I don’t think we have the option to leave. That’s quite clear,” and just like that he dodges yet another simple yes or no question with a David Axelrod answer.

This administration is incapable of making decisions that support and defend the United States.  President Obama is more interested in non-stop, non-productive diplomacy.  This is not “peace” but rather the buildup to greater future confrontation.  The word appeasement comes to mind as Obama is more interested in keeping the peace within his leftist party than keeping the peace and lives of the American public safe and secure.

Rasmussen Reports: Obama Approval Ratings still falling..Obama still doesnt care

arrowRasmussen Reports, the public opinion polling group founded by Scott Rasmussen (of ESPN fame), is still showing a decline in the Presidential approval rating of Barack Obama.  The most current polling data shows that 49% of those polled approve of Obama while 50% disapprove of the job he is doing.

The fact that his approval rating has consistently dropped since pushing Obama care seems to prove that President Obama is interested in only one thing, not re-election, not representing the American people, but socializing America to the best of his, and the lefty’s in congress’, ability.

Charles Krauthammer said it best when he likened Obama’s goal for America as the polar opposite of Ronald Reagan’s goal for Federal Government.  Obama does not have a mandate from the American public to drastically “change” America.  Still, he brushes off the ever stronger voice of the citizenry and labels them (us) extremists, not representative of the American public, irrelevant, etc.

Progressives do not feel they need permission from the boss (again the American public) because they do not think we are in charge nor do they think we, the people, are capable of taking care of ourselves and our fellow citizens.  In Obama’s world voices of decent are nothing more than people who need to be controlled.

All the while his numbers continue to drop and drop (along with the Democratic congress).  So, what do you do in these dire times?  Well, you fly to Europe and attempt to convince the 2016 Olympic committee to choose Chicago.

Please, President Obama continue down this path so that I might enjoy 2012 that much more.

Pro-Choice not so popular says poll

pewThe Year 2007 showed that there was a slight majority of uneducated, ignorant, selfish, or otherwise-not-willing-to-accept-responsibility Americans that support Abortion rights, or are otherwise known as pro-choice.  A Pew Research poll showed that 54 percent of American’s identified themselves as pro-choice while 40 percent considered themselves pro-life.  Those numbers have changed according to a new poll by Pew which shows a downward shift in those who identify themselves as pro-choice.  The new numbers show that 47 percent of Americans now identify themselves as pro-choice and 44 percent as pro-life.

The decline in pro-abortion sentiment has dropped across the board including both Republicans and Democrats, Whites, Hispanics, Catholics, Protestants, Jews and unaffiliated.

“The size of the shift is modest, but the consistency with which we see it occurring and the implications it has for the overall dynamics of the debate make it significant,” Gregory Smith, a senior researcher at the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, told The New York Times.

It is noteworthy to point out that the usual biased left leaning polls show no change in the views of the American public on the Abortion issue yet fairly reputable ones including the Gallup poll see similar trends to those of the Pew poll.  The recent Gallup poll shows that 53 percent identify themselves as pro-life while only 42 percent pro-choice.

This is just one more reason for the President and the Democratic congress to shake in their boots and enjoy their power lunches while they last.  The American people are not radical leftists and will vote based on the extreme policy stances that the ever aggressive leftists are attempting to force upon the American Public.

The Pew survey was conducted Aug. 11-27 among a total of 4,013 adults. The Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan “fact tank” that provides information on the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world. The center’s work is carried out by seven projects, including the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life and the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.

Afghan Commander admits lack of interest from Obama administration

George W. Bush spoke to the head of ground forces in Afghanistan on a weekly, sometimes daily, basis.  The only way to know what is going on and how to act, is to get firsthand information from those fighting the battle.  Yet, President Obama, who said that Afghanistan would be a top priority has spoken to Gen. Stanley McChrystal, commander of US forces in Afghanistan, a whopping once.  That’s right, one time, un temps, Eine Zeit, or un tiempo una vez if your not into the whole brevity thing.  McChrystal spoke on 60 Minutes this past weekend and admitted that the President has spoken to him one whole time.  It’s a rather simple explanation; Why would such an intelligent and powerful progressive need the input of a simple minded thug, “a baby killer”, a symbol of American imperialism?  In the progressive’s mind, a grunt, a military man, is no better than a high school drop out (give ‘em pathetic housing, a check on the first of the month and secure another vote, if they know its election day and can read).

The left is not interested in successfully winning the war in Afghanistan or fighting terrorism.  They believe that this is our comeuppance for “our atrocious histroy” as an old professor repetitively espoused.

I guess there is nothing progressive about being exceptional and standing up for that which made and continues to make America great.
