Family Security Matters » Publications » Exclusive: Does President Obama Hold These Truths to be Self-evident?: "What world do you live in? This should be a simple question for anyone to answer – Earth. But some have fallen into using the language of policy wonks that the world actually has multiple 'worlds' within it. For example, you continually hear references to 'the Muslim world,' including President Obama's recent comments to the press. What is exactly is a 'Muslim world,' and why would we accept the segregation of part of the world to belong to only one identity group?
If government leaders, policy makers, and the press started referring to 'the white world,' 'the black world,' 'the Christian world,' etc., wouldn't we be asking them 'what are you talking about'? But the segregationist concept of a so-called 'Muslim world' is so ingrained and accepted within foreign policy dialogue that we continue to see the use of this phrase. This includes people who know better. I was recently asked about a challenge in the 'Muslim world.' As I stated then, our biggest problem with Islamic supremacism as an ideology is the idea that we would ever accept a segregationist concept as a 'Muslim world.'"

Lorie Byrd : Attacking The Tea Party Movement - Townhall.com
Lorie Byrd : Attacking The Tea Party Movement - Townhall.com: "The Tea Party Movement has caught fire and spread from one end of the country to the other. It has captured the imagination of the conservative grassroots and has taken hold. So far the reaction from the national media has been to downplay or ignore the tea party rallies. Reaction from many on the left most recently is to ridicule and openly attack tea party participants."
According to the Tax Day Tea Party website, which is tracking tea parties taking place across the country on April 15, the events are focused on the following theme: Repeal the Pork, Cut Taxes and Spending. “There are more than 500 tea parties confirmed for that day, and it is expected that over the next week and a half, the number of tea parties will continue to grow. Crowds of 5,000 to 10,000 are expected in multiple cities.” Whether or not the mainstream media adequately cover the events, conservative media including Sean Hannity, Neil Cavuto and Glenn Beck will be broadcasting from tea parties in Atlanta, Sacramento and San Antonio.

Tom DeWeese -- The Battle in the States: Freedom Vs Protection
Tom DeWeese -- The Battle in the States: Freedom Vs Protection: "Across the nation, state legislatures are struggling to take back their Constitutional rights as they also seek ways to protect us from outside threats. This has led to some near schizophrenic legislative sessions with laws swinging widely from left to right.
Making it more difficult to get a handle on the situation is the fact that there has been an outgrowth of near 'rabid' anti-immigration groups that have sprung up demanding near-Hitler-style tactics to 'fix' the problem. While the situation is certainly serious and demands action, these groups openly admit that they are willing to surrender their liberties if that is what it takes to end illegal immigration. They may deeply regret that cavalier dismissal of liberty. Once lost, it is rarely regained.
To address these issues, three very distinct, but widely variant legislative actions have appeared in the states."

Newt: U.S. at greater risk under Obama - Fred Barbash - POLITICO.com: "The U.S. is at greater risk of terrorist attack because of the Obama administration's actions, Newt Gingrich said Monday.
In a chat with POLITICO readers, Gingrich also called the administration’s response to the North Korean missile launch a “vivid demonstration of weakness in foreign policy.” He said Obama’s proposals for a resumption of nuclear arms limitation talks reflected “a dangerous fantasy that runs an enormous risk. ... Not since Jimmy Carter have we had an administration this out of touch with reality.”"

Northeast Intelligence Network » Threat to US Jewish population high as Iran tensions increase: "Threat to US Jewish population high as Iran tensions increase
“You can’t separate the terrorists from their motives any more than you can change the actual threat by avoiding the use of certain words or phrases. It’s this backward thinking that cost us lives on 9/11, and they’re not only going back to that thinking at bureaucratic levels, they’re lying to themselves about it.”
4 April 2009: As tensions between Iran and Israel a half-world away rise over Iran’s nuclear arms, the threat to North American Jewish population centers rise proportionately. Factor in the sacred Jewish holiday of Passover that begins next week, the threat posed to synagogues, Jewish centers, and all Israeli religious, business and government centers in the US and Canada rises exponentially. But don’t expect to hear any public warnings from federal agencies, according to one official tied to NYPD’s counter-terrorism team. “I doubt that there will be any warnings made on a federal level, at least not until after the fact,” referring to a terrorist “event.”"

Michael Tomasky: With North Korea's rocket, Obama's hope is shot back down to earth | Comment is free | The Guardian
Michael Tomasky: With North Korea's rocket, Obama's hope is shot back down to earth | Comment is free | The Guardian: "So the idea has taken root, in America and to a considerable extent elsewhere, that the rest of the world should be so grateful to be dealing with Obama and not Bush that they'll at least come to the table and see reason.
But as the North Korea episode shows, not everyone is so reasonable. To the men of Pyongyang, Obama is just another imperialistic swine. In fact, if they're dialecticians worth their salt, then they surely think of Obama as all the more dangerous than Bush for the precise reason that he gives imperialism a friendlier face. North Korea, like any state, has national interests, carved out by decades of history (fear of unification) or centuries (fear of China). The fact that it's a genocidal and secretive police state only exacerbates matters. The bottom line is, the North Koreans are going to do what they think they need to do. Having obviously never read their Carlyle, they couldn't care less who the American president is.
Neither could the Iranians, and neither, probably, could the Syrians. Obama wants certain things out of both of them - the former to give up its nuclear ambitions and move toward a more open society, the latter to come to some kind of terms with Israel and to reach a permanent accommodation on Hezbollah and the Lebanese question. But are they going to wake up one day and say to themselves: by golly, this Obama fellow is the most popular president in maybe all of history, we'd better do what he says? Not likely.Neither are the Pakistanis and the Indians. Nor are Likud and Hamas. And we learned last week that adoration has its limits even among the closest of friends. Europe is not helping out much militarily on Afghanistan."
For all the hatred that liberals have about Bush, Obama will do no better. All he will accomplish is to make us look weak and certainly weaken our position among world leaders.

Chuck Norris : Is Obama Afraid of the J-Word? - Townhall.com
Chuck Norris : Is Obama Afraid of the J-Word? - Townhall.com: "Many may not realize there was an active clergyman (Presbyterian minister John Witherspoon) among the signers of the Declaration of Independence. And two others had been ministers previously. Others were sons of clergymen. Virtually all were Protestants.
Even signers of the Constitution included Abraham Baldwin, a minister. Others had studied religion but never were ordained. And again, most signers of the Constitution were also Protestants. Two, Charles Carroll and Thomas Fitzsimons, were Roman Catholics.
I, too, respect all religions but adhere to one. I believe what Benjamin Rush -- a signer of the Declaration of Independence and a member of the presidential administrations of Adams, Jefferson and Madison -- wrote: 'Such is my veneration for every religion that reveals the attributes of the Deity, or a future state of rewards and punishments, that I had rather see the opinions of Confucius or Mohammed inculcated upon our youth, than see them grow up wholly devoid of a system of religious principles. But the religion I mean to recommend in this place is that of the New Testament.'"

FrontPage Magazine
FrontPage Magazine: "“We will convey,” said Barack Obama to the Turkish Parliament Monday, “our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world — including in my own country.”
Undeniably the Islamic faith has done a great deal to shape the world – a statement that makes no value judgment about exactly how it has shaped the world. It has formed the dominant culture in what is known as the Islamic world for centuries. But what on earth could Obama mean when he says that Islam has also “done so much” to shape his own country?
Unless he considers himself an Indonesian, Obama’s statement was extraordinarily strange. After all, how has the Islamic faith shaped the United States? Were there Muslims along Paul Revere’s ride, or standing next to Patrick Henry when he proclaimed, “Give me liberty or give me death”? Were there Muslims among the framers or signers of the Declaration of Independence, which states that all men – not just Muslims, as Islamic law would have it – are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Were there Muslims among those who drafted the Constitution and vigorously debated its provisions, or among those who enumerated the Bill

Contact your congressman and senator immediately and tell them to shoot down this legislation so it does not have a foot hold in government.
It is starting out as "voluntary" but all it will take is one congressman, or senator to change the word to "mandatory" and pass it through in some massive bill where it is not even read but just signed into law!

Barack Obama Maintains Control Over Banks By Refusing to Accept Repayment of TARP Money - WSJ.com
Barack Obama Maintains Control Over Banks By Refusing to Accept Repayment of TARP Money - WSJ.com: "I must be naive. I really thought the administration would welcome the return of bank bailout money. Some $340 million in TARP cash flowed back this week from four small banks in Louisiana, New York, Indiana and California. This isn't much when we routinely talk in trillions, but clearly that money has not been wasted or otherwise sunk down Wall Street's black hole. So why no cheering as the cash comes back?
My answer: The government wants to control the banks, just as it now controls GM and Chrysler, and will surely control the health industry in the not-too-distant future. Keeping them TARP-stuffed is the key to control. And for this intensely political president, mere influence is not enough. The White House wants to tell 'em what to do. Control. Direct. Command."

Conveniently, Congressman Frank failed to mention that the approval was inside the very stimulus bill Obama championed and the Democrats overwhelmingly voted for."

, and everything else that depends on oil such as asphalt or even Vaseline.
Meanwhile, oil producers in America, large and small, will take a financial beating. If you don’t like living in a modern, advanced and industrialized society, you will favor this. If you think Americans consume too much, drive too much, and deserve to be punished for it, you will favor this."
Steven Chu, the Secretary of Energy, is on record saying, “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.” It is $8 a gallon there.
This man is trying desperately to drive us so deep into a hole that the great depression is going to look like a love in. he WILL SUCCEED IF HE IS NOT STOPPED THROUGH CONGRESS.
Write your congressman, senator and legislatures in your states. tell them that you have had enough. Call them at the capital. In their state offices, send letters, tea tags, join mailing lists, sign petitions. DO SOMETHING!
THIS MAN'S PLANS CAN NOT WORK TO STABILIZE AMERICA IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM.

While Obama Dismantles America, The World Laughs Behind His Back
While Obama Dismantles America, The World Laughs Behind His Back: "From Strasbourg, France: 'President Obama says impoverished nations are entitled to help, but they also have to help themselves.' You know, President Obama, that would be very, very nice to hear here. That would be very nice if you would say that about the entitlement class. You know, one in ten Americans... I don't know how this makes you feel. It does not make me feel good. It does not make me feel, 'Wow, look at how compassionate we are! What a great country we are,' and it also doesn't make me say, 'Wow, what a rotten country we are. What a sinking rotten, horrible economy.' One-in-ten Americans today -- one in ten! -- is on food stamps! Just one entitlement program, food stamps. One in ten! It's a crying shame out there. It doesn't say anything great about us. It doesn't say anything rotten about the economy. What it talks about is lives that have been destroyed, pummeled into submission, people believing there's no option, no hope. I'm sure you've got the cheats and the scams in there at the same time. While Obama's in France and telling everybody over there, 'Hey, you ought to help yourselves. The world ought to help, but you need to fix your corruption and you need to help yourselves,' it would be great if he would say that here"
Ronan Farrow Says Barack Obama Should Be Careful About Lending Legitimacy to the United Nations Human Rights Council - WSJ.com
Ronan Farrow Says Barack Obama Should Be Careful About Lending Legitimacy to the United Nations Human Rights Council - WSJ.com: "Last week the Obama administration announced its intention to seek membership in a body America has for years shunned: the United Nations Human Rights Council. It is perhaps the starkest illustration yet of what officials have billed as a 'new era of engagement,' and it was breathlessly hailed as a toppling of Bush-era isolationist tactics.
But the Human Rights Council is far from the symbol of positive engagement proponents of the decision would like it to be. Joining plunges the U.S. headlong into one of the most notorious quagmires in international politics. American officials will have to walk a razor's edge between instigating reform and legitimizing the Council's colorful, often sinister, history.
The Council's most recent session saw the body voting to end its mandate to investigate the Democratic Republic of the Congo, even as that nation lurches into ethnic bloodshed. A Pakistani resolution against 'defamation of religions' passed with ease despite being universally decried by human rights groups as a thinly veiled effort to curtail freedom of expression and suppress minority sects.
The news was unsurprising for anyone familiar with the Council. The body has declined to issue a single condemnation of Sudan for its ethnic cleansing in Darfur. As fresh violence convulsed Darfur last year, the Council responded by dismissing the team of experts tasked with monitoring the region, then disregarding reports from a fact-finding mission that implicated the Sudanese government in torture, rape and mass murder."
Did anyone expect anything less from Him????

John Bolton Says Barack Obama's Reaction to the North Korean Missile Launch Sends the Wrong Signal to Israel and Iran - WSJ.com
John Bolton Says Barack Obama's Reaction to the North Korean Missile Launch Sends the Wrong Signal to Israel and Iran - WSJ.com: "Prior to North Korea's launch yesterday of a Taepodong-2 ballistic missile, President Barack Obama declared that such an action would be 'provocative.' This public statement was an attempt to reinforce the administration's private efforts to urge the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea (DPRK) not to fire the missile.
That effort failed, as have countless other attempts to deal softly with Pyongyang. Incredibly, U.S. Special Envoy for North Korea Stephen Bosworth revealed -- just a few days before the launch -- that he was ready to visit Pyongyang and resume the six-party talks once the 'dust from the missiles settles.' It is no wonder the North fired away.
Once the missile shot was complete, the administration's answer was hand-wringing, more rhetoric and, oh yes, the obligatory trip to the U.N. Security Council so that it could scold the defiant DPRK. Beyond whatever happens in the Security Council, Mr. Obama seems to have no plan whatever."
Poor Bambi ... only a couple months in office, the markets tank on his policies, he can't seem to hire anyone who doesn't have a problem paying taxes. He has destabilized his party with such outrageous legislations that even they are setting the breaks on him. he is being told that his military tactics are all wrong, he is being called everything from an Ignoramus to an House Negro by other leaders of the world.
The legislature is suffering from a TEA party for the first time in centuries, and now this. A serious threat from a rogue nation we have had strained relations with since the 1948.
hell the poor guy is being slapped with lawsuit after lawsuit from every way he stands. His popularity is less than that of George W. Bush's at the same period in his second term when Bush went all out with nothing left to lose and the DNC went wild over his every move and the media was all over him for every gaff.
I say lets give the guy a break here, after all, he is a FOREIGNER trying to run a Country and he has no experience at all in doing anything except running various leftist gorilla extremist groups that are under investigation!

American Thinker: Those arrogant Americans
American Thinker: Those arrogant Americans: "We have a rock star president who for the first time in American history fired the President of a private corporation, General Motors, then immediately flew to Europe with an entourage of 500 courtiers and a worshipful media, bowed waist-deep to the King of Saudi Arabia, and proceeded to accuse his own country of arrogance.
In France, of all places.
Does anybody else think this guy is shockingly ignorant? I wonder if he has every really talked to a concentration camp survivor, or a Cuban refugee, or a boat person from Vietnam? Or a Soviet dissident. Or a survivor or Mao's purges."
What kind of man has such an obsessive need to put down his own country? Especially given our real history? Has he ever read an honest history book?
In France, of all places.

Ahhh, those arrogant Americans. First they rebel against King George III and all the crowned heads of Europe. Then they welcome tens of millions of poor and persecuted people from the Old World. Then they fail to bow down to Europe's greatest figures -- from Napoleon and Otto von Bismarck to the Kaiser, Hitler and Stalin. Then they fight a civil war, losing half a million people to liberate black people in America. Then they diss the man the BBC considers to be the greatest philosopher ever, one Karl Marx, whose followers killed 100 million innocents in the 20th century. And then, to top it all off, they liberate both the Western half of Europe (in 1946) and the Eastern half (in 1989).
What arrogance these Americans have. Either that, or a very, very -- no, stunningly -- ignorant man was just elected president -- largely because millions of benevolent voters believed that we owe black people a presidency. They may come to see that as their biggest mistake ever. In the next couple of years they will see a tripling of government debt, high inflation, a permanent loss in their personal wealth, and a major devaluation of the dollar.
Which, to judge by his recent television performance, should just make him giggle quite inappropriately, in front of God and everybody.
What kind of man has such an obsessive need to put down his own country? Especially given our real history? Has he ever read an honest history book?
Holder at War by Andrew C. McCarthy on National Review Online
Holder at War by Andrew C. McCarthy on National Review Online: "And surely there was no need to fret over those terrorist pardons on Holder’s watch: not the FALN thugs, whose organization carried out more than 130 bombings in the United States; and not the two Weather Underground bombers, who were allowed to skip out of their combined century of jail time for waging war against “Amerika.” That was all Clinton, Holder fans insisted. Holder’s not a pol, he’s a law-enforcement pro. He gets the terrorist threat — why, just look at his résumé."
PoliGazette » Rasmussen to apologize to ‘Islamic World’ - UPDATE: Rasmussen Says No UPDATE: Yes, political apology offered
PoliGazette » Rasmussen to apologize to ‘Islamic World’ - UPDATE: Rasmussen Says No UPDATE: Yes, political apology offered: "Turkey should not expect any apologies when NATO’s next Secretary-General and former Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen makes a speech in Istanbul today.
“Listen. In Denmark we do not apologise for having freedom of speech,” Fogh Rasmussen is quoted by Ritzau as saying.
“You all know that a Danish Prime Minister cannot apologise on behalf of a newspaper,” he continues.
The newly-appointed upcoming secretary-general for NATO is in Turkey to speak at a United Nations conference on intercultural dialogue and understanding.
Turkish media
The Turkish media has widely reported that Fogh Rasmussen will issue an apology during his speech today, and that the apology was one concession offered in order to get Turkey to withdraw its opposition to Fogh Rasmussen’s appointment.
But Fogh Rasmussen rejects the assertion.
“We have nothing in the bag,” he is reported as saying.
Not apologizing is obviously the right way to go. However, if he did agree to the conditions as reported by German, Dutch and Turkish media, he could cause a major international controversy by not following up on his promises. Interesting: will he ‘not apologize’ but ‘reach out’? Or will he apologize nonetheless? Or, lastly, will he continue to defend the freedom of speech in the West and refuse to compromise during his speech in Istanbul, even if this means that Turkey will revolt?"

“It is in Pakistan that al-Qaeda senior leadership and other transnational extremist elements are located,” Petraeus testified before the Senate panel Wednesday."
meanwhile Obama is upsetting the Pakistani Government by doing more attacks without an understanding with the Pakistani Government day by day. They will eventually become very upset with the U.S. attacks and declare that their National Sovereignty is being infringed upon by this administration.

The analyst and a police colleague from the Grapevine, Texas Police Department referred these cases to FBI Violent Criminal Apprehension Program, or ViCAP, where FBI analysts looked at other records in FBI database to see if there were similar patterns of highway killings elsewhere.
Turns out there were. So the FBI launched an extensive effort to support their state and local partners with open investigations into highway murders."

Newsmax.com - Gingrich Warns of Conservative 3rd Party in 2012: "Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich warns that conservatives could leave the GOP and form a third party in 2012 if Republicans don’t do more to rein in government spending.
“If the Republicans can’t break out of being the right wing party of big government, then I think you would see a third party movement in 2012, Gingrich said during an address to students at the College of the Ozarks in Missouri.
Gingrich attacked President Barack Obama’s “monstrosity of a budget,” but acknowledged that Republicans are also to blame for the huge increase in federal spending, CNN reported.
“Remember, everything Obama’s doing, Bush started last year,” he said."

YouTube star summoned to White House?
YouTube star summoned to White House?: "YouTube star summoned to White House?
Promises radio talk show first interview afterwards
The man who created two phenomenally successful 'We The People' YouTube videos urging Americans to stand up against Congress and reclaim their republic now – or perhaps lose it forever – reportedly has been summoned to the White House by President Obama to discuss the subject matter of the short films.
Bob Basso, who posts videos under the name funbobbasso on YouTube, has created videos in which he portrays Thomas Paine, author of the 'Common Sense' pamphlet that made the case for independence during the American Revolution.
Basso, whose website offers his services as a motivational speaker, uses the YouTube presentations to condemn 'non-representing representatives' and warns, 'Only when they feel the almighty wrath of 'We The People' marching in the streets from California to New York shouting 'We're mad as hell and we want our country back' will they get the message they work for you.'
He was scheduled this week to appear on the 'Jerry Doyle Show' when he told the radio host that Obama had personally invited him to meet in the White House 'to discuss the disturbing nature of the videos.'"
What is disturbing to Mr. Obama is that these videos inspire patriots. They demand that the government beheld accountable. That people are responsible for themselves and this is all dangerous to Obama.

Michelle Obama, take note: we don't do hugs - Telegraph
Michelle Obama, take note: we don't do hugs - Telegraph: "There was something about those handsome, smiling, clean-limbed, corn-fed Americans towering benignly over our petite Queen and her shorter-than-he-used-to-be consort: a meeting of generations, of worlds old and new, of allies, of minds. My love for America has always been unconditional, and that photograph reminded me why.
Then they went and ruined it with the next picture, the one of them hugging. I'm sorry, Mrs Obama, I don't care how strapping and smiley and gorgeous you are, no one touches the Queen. How do you think the Tibetans would feel if you started manhandling the Dalai Lama? Mmm? Or the Italians if you gave the Pope's knee a friendly squeeze? It's just not on. There are no excuses. You should have known. THE BRITISH. DO NOT. HUG."
Just more ignorance on the part of Obama ...

Zimbabwe in America's Future? ~ Alan Keyes is LOYAL TO LIBERTY
Zimbabwe in America's Future? ~ Alan Keyes is LOYAL TO LIBERTY: "These days, Americans should not think of these reflections on Zimbabwe's plight as curious thoughts about a distant misery. I have frequently made the point that, given his upbringing and ideology, Barack Obama doesn't represent the heritage of Black Americans. In both respects, however, he more than adequately represents the characteristics of tragically failed socialist leaders in Africa, like Robert Mugabe. Can we see his politically motivated orgy of debt financed spending as the demagogue's destructive disregard for the real well being of the nation? Can we see in his bid for dictatorial control of the economic sector preparation for the disastrous subordination of economic sense to political ambition? Though he is not alone in doing so (his sold-out Democrat and Republican colleagues share in his actions) will his calculated acts of 'creative destruction' turn the once flourishing strength of the American people into a wrecked and timorous shadow of its former self? On all sides, the political elite in this country seemed ready to abandon the constitutional system of self-government in favor of a mobocratic implementation of pure democracy that temporarily allows demagogues to flourish, while they rape and pillage the hopes of the people they mislead. Is there more than a little Zimbabwe in our future?"

Congress' budget blueprint contains a warning to Obama - Los Angeles Times
Congress' budget blueprint contains a warning to Obama - Los Angeles Times: "Reporting from Washington -- The broad outlines of the $3.5-trillion spending blueprint that Congress approved this week hews closely to President Obama's spending targets and pays homage to his ambitious agenda. But the fine print contains a sobering warning about his marquee initiatives on healthcare, energy, education and economic recovery.
Congress' message: We can't do it all at once.
Both the House and Senate budget resolutions, which set guidelines for future spending, give the green light to a sweeping overhaul of the healthcare system, but only if the president comes up with an acceptable way to fund it. The resolutions do not block action on Obama's global warming initiative, but a bipartisan coalition has dashed administration hopes of moving it on a fast track."

Think again. The system could be operating at a deficit as soon as next year.
Washington has been working under the assumption that Social Security would continue to produce surpluses through 2016. It would not be until 2017 when the system would begin to pay out more than it took in through payroll taxes.
New estimates from the Congressional Budget Office, however, indicate that the date could be moved up seven years.
Last year, the CBO projected that the system would generate an $86 billion surplus in the current fiscal year ending Sept. 30. That has been downgraded to $16 billion, due to the sluggish economy.
In the next fiscal year, beginning Oct. 1, that surplus could be as low as $3 billion, a whisker away, in Washington terms, from being a deficit."
So just tax more people and give persons in the country illegally social security who never paid into the system at all .. makes sense doesn't it?

Given the stark partisan split in the country among Democrats, Republicans and independents, it's a bit surprising that one issue seems to unite them all: They don't want to pay more taxes to fund social programs, a recent IBD/TIPP Poll shows. Indeed, none of the 28 demographic groups tracked by the IBD/TIPP Poll favored the idea. That includes Democrats, among whom only 33% supported higher taxes for more social spending.

Given the stark partisan split in the country among Democrats, Republicans and independents, it's a bit surprising that one issue seems to unite them all: They don't want to pay more taxes to fund social programs, a recent IBD/TIPP Poll shows. Indeed, none of the 28 demographic groups tracked by the IBD/TIPP Poll favored the idea. That includes Democrats, among whom only 33% supported higher taxes for more social spending. On the other end of the political spectrum, just 3% of Republicans said they like the idea."

IBDeditorials.com: Editorials, Political Cartoons, and Polls from Investor's Business Daily -- Death, Taxes And A Very Bad Budget
IBDeditorials.com: Editorials, Political Cartoons, and Polls from Investor's Business Daily -- Death, Taxes And A Very Bad Budget: "For the Obama administration, a year without an estate tax is a terrible thing to waste.
If you actually read the budget, which few do, particularly congressmen, you find this footnote on Page 127: '(T)he estate tax is maintained at its 2009 parameters.'
The first Bush tax cut has been, in effect, repealed — part of the age of 'fairness' we now all inhabit.
We are determined to keep or raise the capital gains tax, for example, even though to do so would lose revenues. As President Obama said when it was explained to him, we should still do it in the name of fairness.
It is the same with what many call the death tax. You can't take it with you, but the government can take it from you in the name of fairness and spreading the wealth, your wealth, around."
A new study by the American Family Business Foundation, written by economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin, finds that the death tax is responsible for lowering overall employment by 1.5 million jobs. It takes capital out of the productive hands of entrepreneurs' descendants and heirs and into the unproductive hands of government.

Michelle Obama Finds Her Role on the World Stage - TIME
Michelle Obama Finds Her Role on the World Stage - TIME: "Barack Obama and his wife flew to London together. They have been staying together at Winfield House, the sprawling American ambassadorial residence in Regent's Park, and are photographed together regularly, boarding and leaving planes and helicopters, walking from cars, meeting with the Queen and assorted world leaders. But they move in completely different worlds.
In the President's world, everything is collapsing — markets, housing prices, confidence. In the First Lady's world, everything is soaring — spirits, ballet dancers, ambitions. In Barack's world, expressions of optimism are carefully qualified. In Michelle's world, expressions of pessimism are almost unthinkable. For Barack, the big question is how he is going to save the world from economic and nuclear Armageddon. For Michelle, the big question is who made her darling cardigan with the sequins and the argyle print."
These people have no shame, they do not care about us and I am not buying for a minute that the MSM is protecting us and giving us the whole story on what is happening.

Hedge fund paid Obama adviser Summers $5.2 million | Reuters: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lawrence Summers, a top economic adviser to U.S. President Barack Obama, was paid about $5.2 million by hedge fund D.E. Shaw in the past year, financial disclosure forms released by the White House showed on Friday.
Summers, a former U.S. Treasury secretary and Harvard University president, also was paid $2.7 million in speaking fees by a range of organizations and companies, including several troubled Wall Street financial firms, they showed.
The disclosure documents on Summers and other White House officials advising Obama on the global financial crisis covered 2008 and the first few months of this year. Summers became an official adviser on January 20 when Obama took office."

New Documents Uncovered by Judicial Watch Show Congress Ignored Corruption at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for Years | Judicial Watch
New Documents Uncovered by Judicial Watch Show Congress Ignored Corruption at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for Years | Judicial Watch: "* FHFA letter, dated March 26, 2007, from the director of the Office of Housing Enterprise Oversight (OHFEO), James B. Lockhart, to U.S. Senators Elizabeth Dole, Chuck Hagel, Mel Martinez and John Sununu: 'This is a very serious issue. Freddie Mac's inadequate systems and controls make it a significant supervisory concern. Furthermore, its lack of timely public disclosures deny market participants the essential financial information made available by all other publicly traded companies so that investors may make informed judgments.' The letter also mentions, '...Fannie Mae still has not filed financial statements for 2005 and 2006 and thus, they are not timely filers either.'
* FHFA letter, dated December 3, 2004, to Congressman Barney Frank: 'On November 15, 2004 Fannie Mae filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Fannie Mae indicated that its external auditors could not complete their reviews of its financial statements and noted the possibility of up to a $9 billion loss dating back to 2001. As a result, OHFEO has determined it will not provide a monthly capital classification at this time.'
* Letter dated June 16, 2006, from OHFEO Director Lockhart to Senator Chuck Hagel: "...In January 1999, Chairman and CEO Franklin Raines approved a recommendation made by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) (Tom Howard) and the Controller (Leanne Spencer) to defer recognition of $200 million in amortization expense. This deferral, along with other accounting decisions made at that time relating to provisions for loan losses and the recognition of low-income housing tax credits, allowed management to meet the EPS threshold for maximum bonuses."

The August Review - Globalization: The Final Demise of National Security: "National security has never been in worse shape than today. Companies owned by the communist Chinese government control both ends of the strategic Panama Canal, plus many shipping and intermodal facilities on the west coast.

DEFENDOURFREEDOMS.US: Financial insanity
DEFENDOURFREEDOMS.US: Financial insanity: "Obama didn't get a good reception at G-20. Most European leaders were disgusted by his insane spending. Obama-Pelosi-Reid insanity is 5 times larger then any economic stimulus of any European country, his deficit will be 4 times larger then the deficit Bush ever incurred. What guarantees Hillary Clinton signed for the Chinese. Clearly, we can't get any truth from this administration. There were numerous reports about eminent domain rights on state and private real estate in the US used as a collateral for all of this outrageous wasteful spending and borrowing, that turns our life savings into garbage, that turns our children's future into the dark ages.
Obama has thrown a stunt of talking about the 160 million in bonuses for the AIG executives. Why? Because he wants to divert your attention from 300 billion given to AIG in AID. This is the real outrage. More then half, 56.5% of this money went to foreign banks. How does this stimulate US economy?"

Barack Obama's New World Order: "The United States is still the same country it was a year ago, give or take about 6 million jobs. But its international branding campaign, as led by the new President, Barack Obama, is so different that the rest of the world might be forgiven if it has to do a double take.
Most of the hallmarks of the foreign policy of George W. Bush are gone. The old conservative idea of 'American exceptionalism,' which placed the U.S. on a plane above the rest of the world as a unique beacon of democracy and financial might, has been rejected. At almost every stop, Obama has made clear that the U.S. is but one actor in a global community. Talk of American economic supremacy has been replaced by a call from Obama for more growth in developing countries. Claims of American military supremacy have been replaced with heavy emphasis on cooperation and diplomatic hard labor. (Read 'Obama in Europe: Facing Four Big Challenges.')"
It only took this idiot and the congress less than 80 days to screw up this country so bad that it will take decades to restore the country's sovereignty, power, allies trust and economy if ever.
I am just completely mind boggled over him. It seems so surreal to me that this is really happening.
Someone please tell me that there is a glimmer of hope that someone can come in and fix it all as fast as he is taking it apart.

Osama’s Biographer Has Advice for U.S. - NAM: "Mir asserted that the Taliban-generated violence could only end:
* If a border were built between Pakistan and Afghanistan, just as the fencing a few years ago of the so-called “Line of Control” between India and Pakistan has helped control the violence in the India-controlled region of Kashmir.
* If India and Pakistan begin peace talks to solve the Kashmir dispute.
* If the FATA regions are governed like the rest of Pakistan.
* If some of the $1.5 billion per year in non-military aid for five years the Obama administration has promised Pakistan goes to those regions to build schools, hospitals and roads. “Girls should not be prevented from going to school,” he said.
Talking to the Taliban is “not a bad idea,” either, Mir added.
Asked in a private interview if he knew where bin Laden currently was, Mir laughed and said: “He’s wandering freely in those mountainous regions of Pakistan.”"

Obama Begins Turnover of USA Sovereignty to International Body: "Moving as quickly as he can to gut the USA and then divide its body parts amongst like-minded globalists, the USA’s Supreme Leader Barack Hussein Obama used the G-20 conference to begin his turnover of USA sovereignty to said internationalists and start the move toward a one-world government. Obama has signed off on international legislation—the Financial Stability Board—that would regulate ALL firms, including those within the USA and places them under the responsibility of an international governmental agency.
On FNC’s Greta Van Susteren’s program, author and columnist Dick Morris noted “literally from April 2nd of this year, that is, today, it’s a whole new world of financial regulation in which, essentially, ALL of the U.S. regulatory bodies and ALL U.S. companies are put under international regulation, international supervision. It really amounts to a global economic government.”"

The device was found outside 559 Southern Avenue late Thursday morning while workers from Pittsburgh Iron and Scrap Metal were picking up scrap metal. While loading materials into their truck, they noticed a device and called authorities."

This process circumvents the Senate's normal rules requiring 60 votes to prevent a filibuster. Reconciliation was created by Congress in the mid-1970s to enforce deficit reduction, the opposite of what the president and his party are aiming for."

Northeast Intelligence Network » Osama bin Laden in Iran?: "Osama bin Laden in Iran?
By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director
3 April 2009: Over the last two years, I’ve believed that the audio messages purportedly from Osama bin Laden offered no “proof of life” and were altered, pieced together, or were outright fraudulent in nature, despite alleged “authentication” by the CIA and other governmental agencies. I continue to believe that is the case - that the most recent messages from the elusive terror kingpin offer no legitimate proof that he recorded and distributed the messages in the manner the West has been led to believe.
Based on extensive internal investigation and evaluation of those purported messages, I continue to believe that those messages have been deliberately manipulated and the “status” of bin Laden remains in question. One does not need to adhere to any wild conspiracy theories to find answers. Simply look at the current world stage. The evidence should become clear.
Meanwhile, the following is a very interesting excerpt from an article written by Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, author of FUNDING EVIL: HOW TERRORISM IS FINANCED:

Family Security Matters » Publications » Exclusive: Changing Our Form of Government Without Amending the Constitution: "It is generally agreed the U.S. Constitution is a remarkable work of political art; it created a unique form of government with three separate branches and checks and balances designed to maintain a balance of power. It specified certain powers of the federal government and reserved all others to the states and the people. The Constitution was effective for most of the country’s life and performed the function intended. For hundreds of years each of the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government were properly restrained by the others – but then something began to happen that destroyed the vision of a great Republic created September 17, 1787 – Congress given the Constitutional authority to coin money learned how to exploit this power and the judicial branch learned it could legislate without any repercussions."

Jillian Bandes : Dems Manipulating Senate Rules Against Republicans - Townhall.com
Jillian Bandes : Dems Manipulating Senate Rules Against Republicans - Townhall.com: "Reconciliation allows budget bills to get past stubborn minorities. When the procedure was legislated in 1984, Sen. Robert Byrd, (D-W.Va.) put specifications around exactly which issues could be subject to it — all related to finances. Reconciliation can only be used for adjustments in spending, the debt limit, or taxes.
In this Congress, Senate Republicans are not budging on the issue of the Democratic health care plan. They're also holding their ground on climate change legislation. Since Democrats are two votes short of a supermajority in the Senate, Democrats must reach across the aisle to work with them — at least, for now.
The current House budget bill contains legislation that would apply reconciliation to the issues of cap-and-trade and health care. The Senate budget bill has no such provision, but when the House and Senate bills are combined for final passage, the Senate will negotiate the final version in a Committee meeting, behind closed doors. Senate Democrats have expressed openness to including reconciliation in the bill, meaning that the possibility of including the measure is real. There's no way for the minority to fight it.

Don Surber » Blog Archive » Fact checking the Obama administration: "Despite the phony baloney 90% figure from President obama’s administration, the fact is only a small percentage of weapons seized in Mexico are traceable.
Of the traceable ones, 90% are tracked back to the USA.
Fox News reported: “But a large percentage of the guns recovered in Mexico do not get sent back to the U.S. for tracing, because it is obvious from their markings that they do not come from the U.S.”"
Please don't fact check the Obama administration, facts get in the way of his agenda

The American Spectator : Rediscovering the Wheel in Afghanistan
The American Spectator : Rediscovering the Wheel in Afghanistan: "In the arcane world of covert intelligence operations recruiting assets among enemy targets is a priority. To recruit an agent in a position to influence the actions of the target is an even higher priority. Why is it then that the White House treated as new and unique the issue of developing relations with so-called moderate elements among the Taliban?"
RealClearPolitics - Articles - Obama's Ultimate Agenda
RealClearPolitics - Articles - Obama's Ultimate Agenda: "Obama has far different ambitions. His goal is to rewrite the American social compact, to recast the relationship between government and citizen. He wants government to narrow the nation's income and anxiety gaps. Soak the rich for reasons of revenue and justice. Nationalize health care and federalize education to grant all citizens of all classes the freedom from anxiety about health care and college that the rich enjoy. And fund this vast new social safety net through the cash cow of a disguised carbon tax.
Obama is a leveler. He has come to narrow the divide between rich and poor. For him the ultimate social value is fairness. Imposing it upon the American social order is his mission.
Fairness through leveling is the essence of Obamaism. (Asked by Charlie Gibson during a campaign debate about his support for raising capital gains taxes -- even if they caused a net revenue loss to the government -- Obama stuck to the tax hike 'for purposes of fairness.') The elements are highly progressive taxation, federalized health care and higher education, and revenue-producing energy controls. But first he must deal with the sideshows. They could sink the economy and poison his public support before he gets to enact his real agenda."
THIS IS NOT WHAT AMERICA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT.
THE CONSTITUTION OPPOSES THIS.
We The People MUST OPPOSE this radical in office that threatens our very foundation of freedom to excel.

Last week, 78 United States Senators voted in favor of the Serve America Act, which will spend $5.7 billion over the next five years to pay people, and in many cases force them, to volunteer. I was not one of the senators voting for this measure. For all its overwhelming bipartisan support, Serve America is about as dangerous a piece of legislation as can even be contemplated.
What makes America America is not our government or economy, but our civil society. It is those organizations, the “little platoons” of democracy, that really make our nation go: The Boy Scouts, United Way, church socials, food drives, and little leagues.
While our large institutions continue to let us down – in Washington and New York – our civic, charitable, and religious organizations thrive.
These organizations make our country better, to be sure, but that is mostly because they make us freer. They meet needs and solve problems without inviting the bull of government into the china shop of our local communities.
Our Founding Fathers understood this. They empowered the federal government to do a few things only, with the understanding that individuals, families, and small voluntary associations would take care"

Blagojevich, 5 Associates Indicted - WSJ.com
Blagojevich, 5 Associates Indicted - WSJ.com: "CHICAGO -- Even before he took office six years ago, former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, his brother and a circle of associates conspired to use the governor's office to enrich themselves at the expense of taxpayers and 'honest government,' a federal grand jury indictment charged Thursday.
The 75-page, 19-count indictment charged Mr. Blagojevich, 52 years old, Robert Blagojevich, 53, two of the ex-governor's former aides and two business associates with a variety of felonies, including allegations the former governor schemed to auction off the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama."
I hope he sings on Obama because I am sure he knows a TUNE or two.

Citizen grand jury indicts Obama
Citizen grand jury indicts Obama: "President Obama has been named in dozens of civil lawsuits alleging he is not eligible to be president, with one man even filing a criminal complaint alleging the commander-in-chief is a fraud, and now a citizen grand jury in Georgia has indicted the sitting president.
The indictment delivered to state and federal prosecutors yesterday is one of the developments in the dispute over Obama's eligibility to be president under the U.S. Constitution's requirement that presidents be 'natural born' citizens."

Tax Day Tea Party » Lumping Patriots and Nazis Together?: "Yes, we all know that traditional mainstream media is currently on its death bed. A quick browsing of Circulation Down confirms what we’ve been trying to tell MSM outlets for years. “We want REAL news and we want it presented in an honest way… or else!”
But through the Tea Party Movement, traditional mainstream media has proven, yet again, its full incompetence when it comes to straightforward and honest journalism. Here in Chicago most media outlets completely ignored the February 27th Tea Party protests. This was the case in most cities.
To date, only Fox News and a few conservative talk radio hosts have given the Tea Party Movement any significant attention. And even then, in many cases, the grassroots element is either laughed at or completely left out.
So what’s this “Lumping Patriots and Nazis Together” talk all about?"

American Thinker Blog: Obama bows down to Saudi King (updated)
Obama actually bowed before the king.
SO UN-PRESIDENTIAL.
Obama has no CLUE what his role is in the world and it shows. he was not even ready for on the job training yet.
But then again the Saudis did pay for so much of his campaign I suppose he did need to bow before him.

Taliban believes they have Obama on the run : Against Barack Obama
Taliban believes they have Obama on the run : Against Barack Obama
Anyone who didn't believe that Obama's liberal idiocy on foreign policy wouldn't have real world consequences, I present exhibit "A" - the Taliban responding to the Administration's offer for "honorable reconciliation:"
Taliban insurgents reject a U.S. offer of "honorable reconciliation," a top spokesman said on Wednesday, calling it a "lunatic idea" and saying the only way to end the war was to withdraw foreign troops.
With the Afghan conflict now in its eighth year, NATO-led forces and the Taliban are locked in a bloody stalemate with violence set to rise further this year as more U.S. troops arrive and seek to contain the insurgency ahead of August elections.
President Barack Obama is redoubling U.S. efforts with more troops, more diplomatic effort and more economic assistance, but he has also already spoken of the need for an "exit strategy."
If the U.S. plan fails to show results, analysts say, time is on the Taliban side.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told an international conference on Afghanistan on Tuesday that those members of the Taliban who abandoned extremism must be granted an "honorable form of reconciliation."
"This matter was also raised in the past," said Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, referring to comments last month by Obama, who spoke of reaching out to moderate Taliban.
"They have to go and find the moderate Taliban, their leader and speak to them. This is a lunatic idea," Mujahid said by telephone from an unknown location.

Barack Obama's gift for the Queen: an iPod, your Majesty :: Toby Harnden: "Barack Obama met the Queen at Buckingham Palace today and gave her a gift of an iPod loaded with video footage and photographs of her 2007 United States visit to Richmond, Jamestown and Williamsburg in Virginia. In return, the Queen gave the President a silver framed signed photograph of herself and the Duke of Edinburgh - apparently a standard present for visiting dignitaries.
It is believed the Queen already has an iPod, a 6GB silver Mini version she is said to have bought in 2005 at the suggestion of Prince Andrew."

Newsmax.com - Sen. DeMint: Obama Budget Claims Are Charade
Newsmax.com - Sen. DeMint: Obama Budget Claims Are Charade: "President Obama’s claims about his proposed budget are so out of touch with reality that they are Orwellian, Sen. Jim DeMint, the chairman of the Senate Steering Committee, tells Newsmax.
“When I read George Orwell’s novel ‘1984,’ I would almost smile because I would think that could never happen,” DeMint says, referring to the power of the state to subsume the truth. “But he [Obama] really is saying one thing and meaning the complete opposite. He is presenting a complete redefinition of words and ideas.”
DeMint cites Obama’s claim at his most recent news conference that his budget moves America “from an era of borrow and spend” to “save and invest.” At the same time, Obama defended adding another $9.3 trillion to the national debt, doubling the amount in six years and nearly tripling the debt in 10 years, according to figures from the Congressional Budget Office.
DeMint also cites Obama’s repeated attempts to excuse his deficit spending plans by saying he inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit from the Republicans. Yet when Obama took office, the deficit was $569 billion. He wants to increase that by another $1.276 trillion this year alone."

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Great news: Geithner can’t count, either: "Maybe Tim Geithner didn’t commit tax evasion after all. Instead, he may just have a problem doing addition and subtraction. Earlier this week, Geithner assured people that the Treasury had $135 billion left in its TARP fund on ABC’s This Week:
ABC, though, thought that sounded wrong — and they were right. As George Stephanopolous reports, the tax-fumbling Treasury Secretary was just a little off:
On “This Week” Sunday, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told me that there was about $135 billion left in the TARP fund, the government’s financial rescue package. But the Government Accountability Office, a non-partisan federal agency, reports that figure is closer to $32 billion, which is what ABC News and other independent analysts thought.
In other words, Geithner was off by $100 billion dollars. That’s not a rounding error; it’s a gargantuan mistake. Or a lie. Take your pick. It’s like choosing between “tax evasion” and “simple misunderstanding”."
And this IDIOT is the one making the decisions??????

PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama tax pledge up in smoke
PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama tax pledge up in smoke: "WASHINGTON (AP) - One of President Barack Obama's campaign pledges on taxes went up in puffs of smoke Wednesday.
The largest increase in tobacco taxes took effect despite Obama's promise not to raise taxes of any kind on families earning under $250,000 or individuals under $200,000.
This is one tax that disproportionately affects the poor, who are more likely to smoke than the rich.
To be sure, Obama's tax promises in last year's campaign were most often made in the context of income taxes. Not always.
'I can make a firm pledge,' he said in Dover, N.H., on Sept. 12. 'Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.'
He repeatedly vowed 'you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime.'"
