What's Another Word For Ostrich?

The Obama administration is going to win the war against Radical Islamic Fascism by simply pretending it doesn't exist. The term "War on Terror" is now officially banned.

"The (Obama) administration has stopped using the phrase and I think that speaks for itself" -Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

Instead, Obama and company, from this day forth, want us to call it, "Overseas Contingency Operation"
WTF?

In an effort to help our fearless leader out of a jam here, let's come up with a proper term for the suicidal Jihad being waged against America and the free world by Islamic fascists.

Here are a few of my suggestions.
Please vote for one or suggest one of your own.

A-International Peace Keeping Parks & Rec Operation?
B-World Human Conflict Resolution Operation and Social Services?
C-The Terms of US Surrender Operation?
D-How to Be a Dhimmi for Dhummies Operation?
E- The "Not War" on "not Terror" against the "Not Fascist", "Not Muslim", Jihadists who don't want to kill us all... Operation?
F- Soccer?
G- Bush's War for Oil...? oops can't call it that any more since the Messiah is in charge.
H- Peace Love and Understanding?
I- Waste Management Operation?
J- Global "Change" Operation?
K- Head In Sand Operation? (pictured above in use)

News Alert: Brain Found in Tinseltown, Film at 11

Not everyone in Hollywood has koolaid for brains.... Angie Harmon is one smart and beautiful woman, like most conservative women now that I think about it.

Angie Harmon: I'm Not Racist Because I Disagree With Obama

Angie Harmon is not afraid to come out and say she doesn’t like how President Obama is handling the job — but she’s sick of having to defend herself from being deemed a racist.

"Here's my problem with this, I'm just going to come out and say it. If I have anything to say against Obama it's not because I'm a racist, it's because I don't like what he's doing as President and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against him you're called a racist," Harmon told Tarts at Thursday’s Los Angeles launch of the new eyelash-growing formula, Latisse. "But it has nothing to do with it, I don’t care what color he is. I’m just not crazy about what he's doing and I heard all about this, and he’s gonna do that and change and change, so okay … I'm still dressing for a recession over here buddy and we've got unemployment at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that's the thing I really don't appreciate. If I'm going to disagree with my President, that doesn't make me a racist. If I was to disagree with W, that doesn't make me racist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous."

Speaking of dislikes, the starlet has also had enough of the double-standards in the media.

"I do think McCain would have done a better job, only because I think he has more experience. I also think if W or John McCain or Reagan would have gone and done a talk show, the backlash would have been so huge and in his face, and ‘What is our president doing? How unclassy!’ But Obama does it and no one says anything," Harmon said.

And in spite of the scornful opinions most of her Tinseltown counterparts have shared on Gov. Sarah Palin, Harmon remains a true fan.

"I admire any kind of woman like her. My whole motto is to know what I stand for and know what I don't stand for and have the courage to live my life accordingly and she does exactly that. The fact that this woman has made the decisions she's made and literally lived her life according to that and takes heat for it is absolutely disgusting to me," she added. "People cannot look at this woman. I really think they're afraid of her and her morals, ethics and values and the fact that she hangs on them. Is she the most experienced person in the world? But she was running to be the Vice President, so we then put the most inexperienced person as the President. That didn't make any sense to me."

HELP WANTED in Obama Admin: Only Jihadists Need Apply

By Curt at Flopping Aces-

It appears President Barack Hussein Obama is actively looking for Muslim’s to fill spots in his administration.

CHICAGO — In a bid to get more Muslim Americans working in the Obama administration, a book with resumes of 45 of the nation’s most qualified — Ivy League grads, Fortune 500 executives and public servants, all carefully vetted — has been submitted to the White House.

The effort, driven by community leaders and others, including U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., was bumped up two weeks because White House officials heard about the venture, said J. Saleh Williams, program coordinator for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association, who sifted through more than 300 names.

“It was mostly under the radar,” Williams said. “We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didn’t know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community.”

While there are many fine Muslims throughout this country the person doing the vetting, Rep. Keith Ellison, brings chills up and down my spine. This is the man who recently made the pilgrimage to Mecca on the dime of none other then the Muslim Brotherhood:

WASHINGTON - There was no fanfare, no press release when Keith Ellison made the pilgrimage to the Muslim holy city of Mecca last week….

~~~

While he consulted the State Department over any potential danger, Ellison said, he wasn’t worried about his safety. He traveled mainly with fellow members of his Minneapolis mosque; no security guards went along. His expenses were paid for by the Muslim American Society of Minnesota.

Ellison said he’d like to make the journey again with his family. His wife is not a Muslim, but their four children are being raised as Muslims….

Muslim American Society:

In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation’s major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members.

And who is the Muslim Brotherhood? Jihad Watch:

And who is the Muslim Brotherhood? The Muslim Brotherhood “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” — “An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America,” by Mohamed Akram, May 19, 1991.

Robert Spencer rightly asks how the MSM and the left would feel if a conservative took a religious trip on the dime of a Christian organization with a document that states they were intent on “eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ’sabotaging’ its miserable house” so that Christian law would replace the U.S. Constitution.”

I have written much more on Ellison on these pages like this post done in September of 2006 which details much of his sordid history and this one done in November of 2006 which details his supporters:

Ellison was not only a member of Louis Farrakhan’s rabidly anti-Semitic Nation of Islam, friendly with people who murdered policemen and those who have been engaged in domestic terrorism but he is the choice of the Saudi Wahhabist lobby in his run for Congress and has actively courted groups with Islamist sympathies, with ties to organizations like Hamas and those who believe that the U.S. Constitution should be replaced with Sharia law.

This one done in January of 2007 is about his use of the Koran to be sworn in.

Turn on Your Lights at 8PM Tonight for FREEDOM!

Thanks to Flopping Aces and Mike's America...

The watermelon (green on the outside, red on the inside) comrades at Earth Hour want you to celebrate Earth Day by turning out your lights for an hour on Saturday. I say celebrate FREEDOM and turn your lights ON!

The real motivation behind these save the Earth, save the whales, save the _______ (fill in the blank) neocoms is to take away more and more of your freedom to decide how YOU want to live your life. They’re not content just to do as they please. They want to force us all to live by their rules.

Today’s environmentalists have succeeded in dictating what kind of car you can drive, and soon what color it is to be painted. They banned incandescent light bulbs, told us all what kind of toilet or shower head we can use and what kind of washing machine to buy.

How long will it be before Saturday’s one hour self imposed power outage is mandatory and imposed by the state? Not long….

Utilities in California are already experimenting with “smart meters” that permit the utility, or the state, to monitor your power usage and shut off appliances or air-conditioning to save power. And with environmentalists continuing to block development of any and all new power sources it’s only a matter of time before electricity is rationed.

Day by day, our freedom to choose how to live is being eroded. We can either accept this slow road to serfdom or we can do something about it.

What are YOU doing about it?

McCain: People Voted 'Mostly For Sarah Palin' in 2008

WASHINGTON (CNN) - Former Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain has no illusions about the 2008 White House race.

"God bless them," McCain said Thursday at the Heritage Foundation when reminded of the tens of millions of people who voted for him last year.

"Over 50 million people voted for me and Sarah Palin - mostly for Sarah Palin," McCain said after being greeted by a standing ovation in an auditorium filled with people primarily in their 20's and 30's.

Hillary Clinton Voted to Block Border Fence, Now Blames Americans for Mexico's Drug War

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - An "insatiable" appetite in the United States for illegal drugs is to blame for much of the violence ripping through Mexico, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday.

"Our insatiable demand for illegal drugs fuels the drug trade. Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the death of police officers, soldiers and civilians," Clinton told reporters during her flight to Mexico City.

Meanwhile, NY Senator Hillary Clinton voted to block the US/Mexico border fence from being completed which would have virtually eliminated the problem she refers to above... while she sounds helpless and sympathetic.
2006: Voted in favor of amendment to kill border fence Sen. Clinton voted in favor of the Manager's Amendment to S. 2611 (whose main sponsor was Sen. Arlen Specter) that includes a provision requiring consultation with the government of Mexico before the border fence can be completed -- effectively blocking the fence from being completed. The Manager's Amendment passed by a vote of 56 to 41 to 1 (the 1 denotes a "present" vote) on May 25, 2006 (5:14 PM).

2006: Voted against amendment to extend border fence Sen. Clinton voted against the Sessions Amendment to H.R. 5441 (whose main sponsor was Rep. Harold Rogers (KY)), the Homeland Security Appropriations bill, to add 370 miles of fence on the Southwest border. The amendment failed by a vote of 29 to 71 on July 13, 2006 (3:44 PM).

2005: Voted against amendment to DHS appropriations bill to increase border controls Sen. Clinton voted against the Ensign Amendment (SA 1219) to H.R. 2360 (whose main sponsor was Rep. Harold Rogers (KY)), the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations bill. The Ensign Amendment transfers appropriated funds from the Office of State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the purpose of hiring 1,000 additional Border Patrol agents. The amendment failed by a vote of 38 to 60 on July 14, 2005 (10:04 AM).

2002: Cosponsored S. 2444 that would compromise border control efforts Sen. Clinton cosponsored S. 2444, an INS restructuring bill that would have potentially compromised border control efforts by redefining immigration law to include not only the Immigration and Nationality Act but also Executive Orders and international agreements.

Here is video of WHY finishing the BORDER FENCE would prevent (stop) the current drug and violence problems.

FLOTUS Definitely Not Racist

Ahhh Michelle Obama, the picture of class, elegance and style.... but definitely not a racist.
Black Voices blog-

"Early during the last presidential campaign, many wondered if biracial Barack Obama was black enough. Then after the flap over Rev. Jeremiah Wright, folks wondered if perhaps he was too black. Meanwhile, the conservative blogosphere was abuzz with the rumor that there was a secret video of Michelle Obama referring to Caucasians as "whitey." Now there's debate over whether New York magazine retouched a recent cover illustration of her to make her look lighter, more white."

More recently we heard this from the not racist FLOTUS.

"I remember there were kids around my [Chicago] neighborhood who would say, 'Ooh, you talk funny. You talk like a white girl,'"- Michelle Obama to a group of High School kids.

Back last June Katherine Berry at Pajamas Media wrote...
Maureen Dowd fears Michele Obama will be tagged an "angry black woman." With good reason.

From Katherine's article...

Michelle Obama is a woman who has clearly lived her life proud of her racial identity and what she claims are humble roots. “I was raised in a working-class family on the south Side of Chicago. That’s how I identify myself, a working-class girl,” she’s said of her childhood. And it’s that identity which she’s chosen to hold on to, despite recollections of childhood friends that she lived a middle-class life with a stay-at-home mother and a father on a city employee’s salary which, after overtime, came to $42,686. By way of contrast: in 1975, when Michelle was 11 years old, the U.S. Census shows that the median income for a family in the U.S. was $13,720, and poverty level for a non-farm family of 4 was $5,500. Her family income hardly reflects the “plight” of lower-class black families.

With Michelle Obama, you see, it’s not all about what race a person is. It’s about what race they are not. As Mrs. Obama has made clear, it’s not really about other people’s whiteness. It’s about how white people don’t share what she calls her “blackness,” a distinction she made it her mission to examine.

Her senior thesis at Princeton University analyzed that very subject as she sought to examine “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community”. (Mrs. Obama’s thesis, written under her maiden name of Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, has been temporarily withdrawn from the stacks at Princeton’s library until the day after the presidential election. A copy is available here.)

The purpose of her thesis was to examine how her fellow black students perceived their own “blackness” after attending “predominantly White universities like Princeton [that] are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of the White students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.” Her hypothesis? That the more time black students spend around other blacks, “the more positive and compassionate they will be in their attitudes toward lower class Black Americans”. Or, to rephrase her hypothesis: if highly-educated blacks look down on lower-income black Americans it’s the fault of whites and their white institutions like Princeton.

Yet, out of a sample of 400 black students surveyed, only a mere 22% bothered to respond to her questions. When the data demonstrated that the more separatist blacks became the more hopeless they felt, and the more integrated they became the less hopeless they felt, she dismissed the findings, calling it “very weak.”

My speculation for this finding is based on the possibility that a separationist is more likely to have a realistic impression of the plight of the Black lower class because of the likelihood that a separationist is more closely associated with the Black lower class than are integrationist.”

In other words, those in favor of integration, of having friends of both races and experiencing both black and white culture just weren’t “black enough” in her views.- end

Michelle Obama... Racist? C'mon, get out of here.

Amazing Robotic BigDog Video

From Boston Dynamics-

The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth

Link to download amazing video.... HERE.
BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog's legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall and 75 kg weight.

BigDog has an on-board computer that controls locomotion, servos the legs and handles a wide variety of sensors. BigDog’s control system manages the dynamics of its behavior to keep it balanced, steer, navigate, and regulate energetics as conditions vary. Sensors for locomotion include joint position, joint force, ground contact, ground load, a laser gyroscope, and a stereo vision system. Other sensors focus on the internal state of BigDog, monitoring the hydraulic pressure, oil temperature, engine temperature, rpm, battery charge and others.

In separate trials, BigDog runs at 4 mph, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees, walks across rubble, and carries a 340 lb load.

BigDog is being developed by Boston Dynamics with the goal of creating robots that have rough-terrain mobility that can take them anywhere on Earth that people and animals can go. The program is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA).

Okie Funk Needs A Raise?

Okie Funk is polling lefties to see if they want to "tax the rich" in Oklahoma... this is like polling people at a protest to legalize drugs on whether they smoke pot or not.

Shocking news.... the socialist errr excuse me 'populist' leftist college Professor's readers want to raise taxes on "the rich" but for some reason Dr Hochenauer didn't define "rich".

With massive devastating INFLATION just around the corner as a result of Obama's spending spree prices are going to go through the roof but your paycheck is going to stay the same.
The very LAST THING Oklahoma should consider is raising taxes at a time when people are already short on money.

Since Dr Hochenauer's UCO paycheck comes partially I'm guessing from tax payers, it's no wonder he wants to take even more from the rich, ...but why his flock of mindless followers would want less money in their pocket to line Democrat politicians pockets is beyond me.

"Currently UCO receives approximately 45% of its budget from the State of Oklahoma."

If "it's" not "a life" (and alive), then what is "it"?

That group of cells which are dividing and multiplying on their own is not a tumor....
that group of cells that can ONLY grow into one single individual human being and nothing else, that mass of something alive, capable someday of running for President or just being a good mom or dad or a deadbeat living in your basement forever, tell me ...if it's not "life" then what in the Wide World of Sports is it?

If a human embryo is not the beginning of a human life... specific only to that unique individual and nothing else, then tell me "what" it is.... show me one that grew up to be a rock or even a tree or something other than a person.

Liberty and Tyranny

New Column: Mark Levin's 'Liberty and Tyranny'

Printer Friendly

By David Limbaugh

"The Modern Liberal believes in the supremacy of the state.... For the Modern Liberal, the individual's imperfection and personal pursuits impede the objectives of a utopian state. In this, Modern Liberalism promotes what French Historian Alexis de Tocqueville called soft tyranny, which becomes increasingly more oppressive, partially leading to hard tyranny.... As the word "liberal" is, in its classical meaning, the opposite of authoritarian, it is more accurate, therefore, to characterize the Modern Liberal as a Statist." (p.4)- Mark Levin from the book Liberty and Tyranny....

Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto" couldn't be more relevant or important. It is a masterful restatement of conservative principles that is succinct (205 pages) and yet comprehensive. It is thoughtful and deep but highly readable. It is timely yet timeless.

Conservatism is under attack from puffed-up liberals, feeling their oats with the ascendancy of President Barack Obama and the huge Democratic congressional majorities, and from a disgruntled group of conservatives who believe that conservatism, to remain politically effective, needs a face-lift.

Liberal columnists are writing with unrestrained glee about conservatism's internecine wars, and conservatives are engaged in intramural debates about which principles and policies conservatives should be promoting. Levin's book will go a long way toward muting the liberals' premature gloating and refuting the arguments of those who, perhaps with good intentions, would hijack conservatism from within and transform it into liberalism lite, all in the name of political pragmatism. "An 'effective' government that operates outside its constitutional limitations is a dangerous government," Levin writes. "By abandoning principle for efficiency, the neo-Statist, it seems, is no more bound to the Constitution than the Statist. He marches more slowly … but he marches with him nonetheless."

There has not been a widely read conservative manifesto as such since Barry Goldwater's "The Conscience of a Conservative" in 1960. Given the unbridled assault on conservatism today, not to mention the personal attacks on its leading proponents, we must celebrate the release of "Liberty and Tyranny" as the modern road map back to our conservative roots.

Having eaten, breathed, slept and studied conservatism, politics, law and history his entire life, Levin, who is my friend and client, is uniquely qualified and situated to have written this book. In undertaking this formidable task, he stands on the shoulders of the giants who have preceded him but has made those giants very proud with this work.

Don't make the mistake -- no matter how learned you are in politics or related disciplines -- of assuming you have nothing to gain from reading a primer on conservative thought. This is much more than a primer. It delves into the historical and philosophical roots of conservative thought and ties them to America's founding. It explains the enduring principles that undergird our unique constitutional system and exposes the dangers in continuing to violate those principles.

Levin identifies conservatism's relentless nemesis, the statist, who seeks to grow the state at the expense of the individual and his liberty. The statist's goals are clear, but his methods are deceitful: promising equality, security and Utopia but delivering tyranny. In the current administration, we are witnessing the rise of the statist to new heights. And he must be stopped if we are to preserve our freedom, prosperity and moral order.

When you read this book, you will learn or be reminded not only that private property and liberty are inseparable but also why. You will learn that a conservative is not only a free market libertarian but also one who believes in a civil society with an underlying moral order in which "the individual is recognized and accepted as more than an abstract statistic or faceless member of some group; rather he is a unique, spiritual being with a soul and a conscience." You will be disabused of the myth that conservatives are fixed in some time warp that requires them to oppose all change. Rather, they believe in change as reform, undertaken with prudence -- "informed by the experience, knowledge, and traditions of society, tailored for a specific purpose, and accomplished through a constitutional construct that ensures thoughtful deliberation by the community. Change unconstrained by prudence produces unpredictable consequences, threatening ordered liberty with chaos and ultimately despotism, and placing at risk the very principles the Conservative holds dear."

You will learn the meaning and significance of our Founders' belief in unalienable rights and that they are unalienable precisely because they come from God. Conservatism is otherwise unintelligible. "An individual may benefit from the moral order and unalienable rights around which society functions while rejecting their Divine Origin. But the civil society cannot organize itself that way."

You will learn why interpreting the Constitution in light of its original understanding is essential to preserving our ordered liberty and how we've departed from those principles, as with the erosion of the doctrines of federalism and states' rights and the destructive consequences that have followed.

Levin also unpacks for us the complex issue of immigration, the ravages of the welfare state, the liberty-threatening practices of the radical environmentalists, and the indispensability of safeguarding America's sovereignty and national security.

As the Obama administration has unleashed its extremist statist agenda, it seems providential that this book is just now being released. If this nation is to beat back the current administration's rush toward enslaving-and-impoverishing socialism, it must reclaim its founding principles, as brilliantly expounded in this book.

Lance Mackey Wins 3rd Consecutive Iditarod

By MARY PEMBERTON The Associated Press

Published: March 19, 2009

NOME, Alaska: Lance Mackey has done it again.

The 38-year-old son of 1978 Iditarod champion Dick Mackey crossed the finish line Wednesday in the 1,100-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race hours in front of the competition, joining an elite group of only two other mushers to put together three consecutive wins.

"We are so proud of you, Lance, and we're considering this the greatest team in Iditarod history," Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said.

She also told Mackey, a throat cancer survivor, "You continue to give all of us hope, the adversity that you have overcome, the challenges you've met, believe me, it resonates across our nation and across our world."

Mackey — a popular figure in Alaska now being called "the people's musher" — then thanked fans despite having slept little in the past 10 days. He accepted their congratulations and signed autographs with people lined up three-deep along the finish chute.

Mackey commended his "little superstar Maple," a 3-year-old female who was in the lead for much of the last part of the race.

He hauled her and 9-year-old Larry, one of his traditional lead dogs, onto the stage with him.

Mackey became the third musher in the race's 37-year history to win in three consecutive years, joining Susan Butcher (1986-88) and Doug Swingley (1999-01).

Obama's Anti-Stimulus Economic Damage Not Limited To Las Vegas

We know how President Obama's call for corporate America to cancel corporate trips has hurt Las Vegas... but now it's coming to a town near you!

Congress ‘Hypocrisy’ on Company Trips Irks U.S. Hotel Industry
By Lorraine Woellert

March 23 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Senate last month passed a measure limiting “luxury” spending for corporate travel by recipients of federal bailout funds. Two weeks later, about two dozen senators of both parties left town for political meetings on the Florida coast.

Hotel-industry leaders are seizing on those trips as ammunition in a campaign to get lawmakers and the Obama administration to tone down the rhetoric against business travel, which they say is adding to their economic difficulties.

On March 11, hotel executives including Jonathan M. Tisch, chairman of New York-based Loews Corp., which operates a chain of 18 hotels in North America, Bill Marriott, chairman of Bethesda, Maryland-based Marriott International Inc., the biggest U.S. lodging chain, and Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, a unit of Burbank, California-based Walt Disney Co. that operates its theme parks, met with President Barack Obama and three Democratic senators to express their concern.

Cancellations

The executives said the political attacks are having a broad effect on their business -- even though the restrictions are intended to apply only to recipients of federal bailout money -- and cancellations have been increasing as the rhetoric heats up.

“We’ve seen companies cancel meetings last minute, leaving 100 percent on the table just to avoid criticism and ridicule,” said Frits van Paasschen, president and chief executive of White Plains, New York-based Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., the third-largest U.S. lodging company, who attended the White House meeting.

“We’ve also seen meeting planners move meetings from resort locations to city locations, at a greater cost to their companies, again, for optics’ sake,” he said.

A preliminary survey by the U.S. Travel Association, a Washington trade group, suggests the hotel industry suffered about $1 billion in cancellations in January and February. Las Vegas has been hit especially hard, losing more than $131 million in non-gambling revenue in recent months.

On March 18, the U.S. Commerce Department reported that spending on travel and tourism fell 0.4 percent in 2008, the first yearly decline since 2001. Spending on accommodations fell 10.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008.

‘Sense of McCarthyism’

The political rhetoric “has a terrible sense of McCarthyism about it,” said Laurence Geller, president and chief executive of Chicago-based Strategic Hotels & Resorts Inc., which owns 19 properties, including the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, and who didn’t attend the Washington meetings.

Christopher Dodd, a Connecticut Democrat who heads the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, sponsored the amendment to the $787 billion stimulus package that requires companies that received funds from the Troubled Assets Recovery Plan to curb “excessive or luxury expenditures,” including spending on events and private jets.

Over the weekend of Feb. 27, two weeks after the Senate passed the measure, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the party fundraising arms for Senate candidates, each held their annual winter meetings in Florida.

About a dozen Democrats, including Dodd, 64, gathered at the Marriott-operated Ritz-Carlton resort in Naples, Florida. Donors who gave at least $15,000 were invited and offered a “coastal view” room at the group rate of $469, according to the Democrats’ invitation.

Dodd spokeswoman Kate Szostak didn’t return phone calls and emails seeking comment. Afshin Mohamadi, a spokesman for Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey, the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, didn’t return a call seeking comment.

Democratic committee spokesman Eric Schultz said the group doesn’t comment on its fundraising.

S. Korean Defense Ministry: N Korea Planning April Surprise Attack

The Seoul Times- Monday March 23 2009- North Korea will likely carry out a surprise attack on South Korea, simultaneously with the communist state's launch of what it calls a communications satellite in early April, Yonhap News quoted South Korea's defense ministry as have warned on March 18..

The latest warning followed Pyongyang's threat last week to push ahead with its planned satellite launch in the sea off the Korean Peninsula between April 4-8.

"There is a good possibility North Korea may make a surprise but limited attack on some areas along the inter-Korean border, with global attention mounting on its planned missile launch," the ministry said in a report presented to a special parliamentary committee on inter-Korean relations.

If it does attack, the North's goal would be to create conflict between different factions in the South, the ministry report said.

"It appears the North is trying to incite internal conflict in the South while pressuring the United States' Obama administration to come to bilateral talks at an early date," it said.

Uhhh Mr. President... hello, are you there? I think you've got a pop-quiz coming soon hot shot.

New Friends Doing Some Bailing Out on Prez of Peace?

Obama, (the Prez of Peace): Bringing "real change" and returning so-called "lost respect" for America around the globe by reaching out to our enemies... who promptly disrespect Obama and America. Classic.

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Sunday his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama was at best an "ignoramus" for saying the socialist leader exported terrorism and obstructed progress in Latin America.

"He goes and accuses me of exporting terrorism: the least I can say is that he's a poor ignoramus; he should read and study a little to understand reality," said Chavez, who heads a group of left-wing Latin American leaders opposed to the U.S. influence in the region.

Chavez said Obama's comments had made him change his mind about sending a new ambassador to Washington, after he withdrew the previous envoy in a dispute last year with the Bush administration in which he also expelled the U.S. ambassador to Venezuela.

"When I saw Obama saying what he said, I put the decision back in the drawer; let's wait and see."

Chavez is not the only dictator seemingly bailing out on "the Prez of Peace".









Iran Rejects Obama's Outreach

"Change in words is not enough, although we have not seen change in words either," Khamenei said before a crowd of thousands in the holy city of Mashhad (literally: the place of martyrdom). "Change must be real. We should tell American officials that the change he (Obama) is talking about is a must. You have no choice and must change. If you do not change, God's divine line of conduct will change you. The world will change you."

"As long as the US administration continues its approach, actions, directions and policies like past thirty years, we are the same nation as we were over these 30 years,"

"Has your hostility towards the Iranian nation changed? Where are its signs? Have you unblocked the assets of the Iranian nation? Have you lifted the oppressive sanctions? Have you given up your mudslinging and making accusations against this great nation and its popular officials? Have you stopped your unconditional support for Israel? What has changed? They give the slogan of change but we have seen nothing in practice. We have seen no change."- Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

The next thing you know, N Korea, Russia or maybe even France is gonna be hatin' on our shiny new Prez of Peace.

Obama Video To "Islamic Republic of Iran" Seen as Sign of American Weakness by Iranians

The left just doesn't understand the world we live in... or they don't care, or worse.

Barack Hussein Obama thinks that all He has to do is "reach out" and "understand" and "show respect" to a fascist government and religion who's one goal is to destroy America. He wants us to believe that the hatred which has been cultivated by religious and political leaders for generations and generations in Iran has simply gone since He was elected president. He wants us to believe He can honestly negotiate with a throat cutting, suicide bombing, fascist bully seeking the death and destruction of every American Obama is sworn to protect.

What does a bully do when you give him more respect?
What does a bully do when you "reach out"?

Iran Rejects Obama's Hand of Friendship
Speaking a day after Mr Obama broadcast a message inviting the Iranian people to a “new beginning”, the country’s supreme spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, dismissed it as a “slogan”.
“They give the slogan of change but in practice no change is seen,” said Mr Khamenei in a televised address on Saturday to mark Iranian New Year. “We haven’t seen any change."

Dressed in black turban and dark robes, the 69-year-old cleric delivered his response during a speech in the north-eastern city of Masshad, as tens of thousands of his hardline followers chanted their familiar refrain of “death to America”.


Not only that... but Iran and the Arab world see Obama's effort as a sign of weakness, ...a sign of surrender.




Are Democrats (Obama and company) really that stupid as to trust in a man/country/religion who wants to blow them up or are they really that commited to the destruction of America?
It's a rhetorical question.

Obama's New Pledge of Allegiance To Socialism Coming to your Door

Thanks to ZTruth...

President Obama announced on the tonight show with Jay Leno that he is launching a new door-to-door pledge campaign to gain support for his socialist agenda.

SFGate.com
"President Obama's appearance on "The Tonight Show" - the first ever for a sitting chief executive - was only a small part of the president's so-called permanent campaign. A bigger move comes Saturday, when Obama will ask 13 million people on his campaign e-mail list to go door-to-door to raise support for his agenda."

"The Pledge Project Canvass is an unprecedented effort by a president to reach beyond Congress and tap grassroots supporters for help. Volunteers recruited online by Obama's Organizing for America, a post-election group, will ask citizens to sign a pledge in support of the president's policies on energy, health care and education."

I can only hope that one of Obama's clipboard carrying communist community organizers comes to my door to ask for my support.

Come to think of it, I just might come up with a little pledge of my own for THEM to sign instead.
Fix the economy FIRST and then get back to me on your wish list. If you can't address the economy first, then forget about the wish list.

Obama Proving Reagan Right

"Government's view of the economy can be summed up in a few short sentences.
If it moves, tax it.
If it keeps moving, regulate it.
And if it stops moving, subsidize it."~Ronald Reagan.

Obama's AIG Scandal: Press Secretary Gibbs Set's New Record for "Uhh's"

It's a simple question...
The AIG bailout bonuses: What did the Obama administration know and when did they know it?


White House press release of the above press conference-

Q On Geithner, is the administration sticking to -- are you sticking to this March 10th date for when he found out about this? Because I -- he was asked about it in Congress a week before -

Q It was March 9th.

Q March 9th. He was asked a week before, specifically.

MR. GIBBS: And I think the Treasury Department addressed that in the newspaper this morning. Look, I think there's -- there has been -- obviously, the Treasury has talked about taking responsibility for knowing more about the timeline.

Q When Secretary Geithner talked about that yesterday, he really parsed words. He said, on Tuesday, March 10th, I was informed about the full scale and scope of these specific bonuses. He's not saying that was the first time he learned about it --

MR. GIBBS: Well --

Q A very careful parsing of words here, suggesting he did know about it before then.

MR. GIBBS: No, I -- I think if you read carefully the report you're discussing, the Treasury Secretary takes responsibility, as the President does --

Q But he's sticking by that October 10th date -- excuse me, March 10th date --

MR. GIBBS: Right, I --

Q -- even though he clearly knew about it before then. He was asked about it in Congress --

MR. GIBBS: But, again -- but again, Chip --

Q -- and he was overseeing the AIG bailout. I mean, is it --

MR. GIBBS: What committee --

Q It just doesn't seem credible.

MR. GIBBS: That was Ways and Means?

Q Yes. But he was specifically asked the question.

MR. GIBBS: No, I understand. I understand. And I think he's addressed that and I think that's addressed in both the reports today and what he said yesterday. Chip, we're -- we understand and the President shares the outrage and the frustration that everybody has. The administration is taking steps to recoup money that's gone out, as well as to put in place a financial stability plan and to seek progress on getting our economy moving again.

Q Let me just ask you specifically. When he says, on March 10th he was informed about the full scale and scope, is he saying that's the first he learned about it at all?

MR. GIBBS: Chip, the question is predicated on the report in the paper and I think the report in the paper answers your question.

Q So he did know about it before then? 20:54

MR. GIBBS: Chip, I will -- can somebody go get a dollar and buy Chip a newspaper so that he can read the report? Again, I think it's pretty clear --

Q Been read.

MR. GIBBS: Excellent. Then I believe it's been answered.

Q Robert, can I follow on that real quick? Why did you tell us that it was March 10th, then, that you found out? The statement from the White House was very specific, he found out March 10th.

MR. GIBBS: Again, I would point you to the report that the Secretary of the Treasury takes responsibility, as does the administration, with knowledge about the structure and the scope of those bonuses.

Q But we were accidentally or however misinformed about the day that he found out.

MR. GIBBS: Well, let's -- let's not -- I'm just going to leave it at that. I think the report is pretty clear and so are the answers.

Chuck.

Q Did he misinform the White House about when he found out?

MR. GIBBS: Chuck.

Q Well, I do watch cable TV and apparently Congresswoman Maxine Waters had a question. I'll let you answer her question: What took place between Treasury and Senator Dodd? What do you guys now know that took place between Treasury and Senator Dodd?

MR. GIBBS: Well, again, I would point you to exactly what the Treasury Secretary said on CNN yesterday -- that the Treasury Department had concerns about lawsuits involved in the provisions. The provision that ultimately passed provides a clawback and recoupment look to bonuses through the TARP, at the discretion of an investigation by the Secretary of the Treasury.

Again, I think that the Treasury Secretary has answered this and has the confidence of the President.

Chris Dodd top money grabber from AIG and Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac received nearly $1million in campaign donations.... wrote language in stimulus bill providing for bonuses to be paid to AIG execs.. while Tim Geithner oversaw the structure of the bonuses and bailout as NY Fed Reserved guru and knew about them far in advance of today's sudden "outrage".

What, No Oklahoma History Dept at UCO?

Poor Okie Funk. This obviously miserably depressed person (who teaches at one of our fine Universities) can only see gloom and doom while his liberal Democrat idols are dancing in the streets naked throwing money in the air like cotton candy and passing socialist liberal policies right and left as far as the eye can see.
Not only that, but the Funkmaster Kurt Hochenauer must ignore Oklahoma history and the bold facts in order to find something, anything to cry and moan about Republicans instead of addressing the Obama adminstration's current AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, banking scam and meltdown.

He writes..
"Oklahoma remains, as I’ve often said before, the country’s premier museum of dead, neoconservative ideologies. The state needs more jobs, better health care systems and improved schools, not this ideological junk."

It's too bad they don't have a state history department up in Edmond. Hochenauer could discover that (as I have pointed out before) the only so-called museum of dead ideologies would be run by the Democrat party as is proven by the FACT that Oklahoma's House and Senate were Democrat controlled for Oklahoma's first 99-1/2 years as a state.
The lack of jobs, healthcare and the schools he describes are the result of 100 years of FAILED Democrat ideology.... not Republican. Funk/Doc Hoc/Hochenauer should be hoping the NEW Republican majority can indeed fix things in Oklahoma instead of misplacing blame for political advantage.

I'll tell you what's dead Dr. Hochenauer, the same old failed tax and spend, spend and tax, anti-business, anti-capitalist, socialist mentality that got Oklahoma in the mess you lament about in the first place.

Obama's Teleprompter Releases Video

Thanks to FGO

And now a brief message from President Obama's teleprompter.

Obama's Islamic Holiday Greeting To Iran

When not offending Special Olympics and people with special needs or expanding abortion, or destroying capitalism, President Barack Hussein Obama is reaching out to the Islamic State of Iran in a Islamic Holiday Greeting and video message. Yes, it's true.

Thanks to ZTruth blog...

"Take your rightful place among nations" our new president told Iran in an unprecedented Islamic holiday greeting.

Meanwhile, Obama decided to overlook or was unaware that a U.S. journalist has been imprisoned in Iran for 47 days.

Note that Obama's final words are spoken, in what I believe, is Farsi, and rather well.

Obama Needs A Lot More Lipstick

During the election, we heard that Sarah Palin was not ready for prime time from some who called themselves conservatives. Not compasionate enough, not polished enough... Democrats mocked her for being crude and backward. Obama himself said "you can put lipstick on a pig but....it's still a pig."

Contrast Barack Obama's inconsiderate remarks about Special Olympics on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno to what Sarah Palin had to say about the Special Olympics just over a week ago and tell me who's the crude backward pig.

Let's Talk About Race

President Obama has said we don't talk about race enough in America and his Attorney General called us all cowards for not talking about race more, so let's talk about race.

I think in 5-10 years we will look back on the Obama administration as an example of putting color ahead capability.
America, in it's rush to elect the first President of color, elected a man with absolutely zero executive experience, zero experience in managing a city government, zero experience at running a county or state government... zero experience in management period. A congressman doesn't manage anything except their campaign for re-election and he only had 2 years experience as that... and being an ACORN community organizer is hardly a qualification for being the leader of the free world.

We elected a man with questionable origins which remain in question, a man with questionable associates and questionable methods... but no questions were asked, because he was to be the first African American President.

No qualifications required. His race was his credentials.

In a few years America will see that instead of being "color blind"... it was actually only "blinded by color".

Obama Goes Off Teleprompter and has to Apologize to Special Olympics

Obama apologizes for his remarks on the Tonight Show. It's not the first time he's gone off-script and regretted it by any means. The President should not leave home without the teleprompter unless it's just to go to the drive-through at McDonalds or something.

"Obama's line on Leno was reminiscent of a crack at Nancy Reagan he let slip last year.

"I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any seances," he said at a press conference days after being elected last November, a reference to the former First Lady's consultation with an astrologer during her time in the White House.

Obama called the elderly Reagan after his comment and apologized about what an aide described as "a careless and off-handed remark."

It seems that when Barack Obama goes off teleprompter, we see a different Barack Obama.

A bumbling stumbling uhh, uhhh, gaffe-master likely to make "a careless and off-handed remark", surpassing even the well known public embarrassment skills of his Veep Joe Biden.
Who woulda' thunk it?

Off teleprompter, Barack Obama actually makes George W Bush look like a genius and certainly makes Bush look like a considerate, nice guy. I'm sorry folks, but this guy is no leader.

If SNL weren't partisan hacks they would have Fred Armisen doing Barack Obama as a complete empty suit incapable of any conversation without a teleprompter... sort-of a combination of Ted Baxter from the old Mary Tyler Moore show and Steve Urkel... but that will never happen with that bunch of political hacks posing as entertainers. (see Chevy Chase for details)

He's only been in office a couple of months and already...

Obama angered veterans and the military by considering bill that would force them to pay for their own healthcare related to combat injuries!
Obama angered pro-life Americans by repealing the government ban on funding for embryonic stem cell experimentation and destruction.
Obama angered gun owners by proposing re-instituting the ban on large caliber weapons and other gun control measures.
Obama angered business owners with his tax proposal.
Obama is angering more and more average Americans who are realizing they were sold an empty bag, a box of rocks, smoke and mirrors, snake oil, you know... good old fashioned Chicago style politics.

Worse, I believe, is the fact that with no experience at running government at any level and no experience at running a business at any level, this President is in way over his head.
