A foreign policy Disaster: the Obama

With regard to foreign police they year 2009 has been a total disaster for our neophyte El Presidente, the Obama. Fouad Ajami in an article at the WSJ piles on: The Arabs Have Stopped Applauding Obama.

A Religion of Peace?

It would seem time that America wakes up to the reality Islam, as it seems to be infusing the world today is not the religion of peace that so many of its adherents proclaim it to be. It did not start out as such and we should wonder why it might be today. Over 1.2 billion individuals world wide claim to be practitioners of the faith. And as religions go, it really is a johnny-come-lately religion springing into existence in the 600-AD's, thousands of years after Judaism and 600+ years after Christianity, and yet it has managed to spill around the world, into almost every country. One wonders why? It does not seem to offer much in the way of hope for its practitioners and when things seem bleak it calls on the faithful - read most ignorant to strap bombs to themselves and kill the innocent - often other Muslims. This last week an Islamic fanatic went on a shooting spree at Fort Hood killing 13 and wounding 31 before being stopped by a female cop. Now for an Islamic disciple being done in by a woman has to be real insult to his religious sentiments. I bet she eats bacon with her eggs in the morning. Now, president pantywaist can't bring himself to come right out and condemn the murders and the Islamic religion behind them.

America was founded on Judeo/Christian principles - we are a Judeo/Christian country and while we are open to all faiths we are not open to the hatred practiced by any faiths - radical or not. If the Obama can come out and condemn those that kill murdering Abortion doctors then he can come out and condemn the Islamic fanatic that killed those men and women at Fort Hood. Liberal America needs to wake up to the truth that evil does exist in the world and often it disguises itself as a religion - a faith that claims billions of followers. One can't help but wonder if Islam is the religion of the lazy, the weak minded, those that rather than engaging in the world would rather die than do.

Commrade Pelosi: "Death To America!"

Yesterday the socialist/communist party voted 220-215 to socialize medicine. The only thing saving us now is the fact that the bill has to be merged with the Senate and there is not guarantee that it will come out of there in its current form. The only good thing for America is that in 2010 those Democrats not in strongly leftist/socialist states and districts will no longer be in office. The fact that Pelosi and company blatantly ignored the will of the majority of Americans is testament that the socialist wing - ie all of the Democrats - have lost touch with America and its values. This new government socialization of health insurance, if it passed in a form similar to its current form will push millions of Americans out of their current health insurance plans into a government run form of health care. Only the rich - ie those making more than a $1 million a year, will be able to get decent real health care. The rest of us, while paying for millions of deadbeat American's health insurance will basically end up like those that go to the emergency room for their health care. The Republican fielded a bill that was 1/10 the size of the Democrat pile of crap and it was summarily voted down by the Obamacrats whose interest is not in fixing those problems that need fixing with Health care insurance but in extending government control over all American lives. If the Obamacrats were truly interested in medical insurance reform then the Republican bill was just that. Not one word of Pelosi's speech foisting the bill on America was true. There will be no increased competition - How can a new insurance option compete with the thousands available already? But more to the real point, the government option will squeeze out private insurance because the government doesn't have to make a profit and it can hide its overhead costs in the beauracracy, something that private insurance companies cannot do. Also, since the government option steals its money from the working class it can pay for anything without actually having to worry about actual costs. The other real issue that needs to be better addressed is the probable decline in the number of doctors leaving the practice to persue jobs that pay better. No doctor is going to work at a 50% loss. Let's face it the House bill is just plain dumb and stupid and starkly highlights the growing ignorance of the liberal class.

16 Million and Growing!!

WooHoo, the Stimulus is really kicking butt - unemployment reaches 10.2%!!! The last time that happened was 26 years ago. Way to go the Obama and his head stimulus honcho - Biden.

A Rose By Any Other Name

When is a tax not a tax, when the Obama say's its not, JACOB SULLUM: Obama’s Hidden Fees: When the president does it, it’s not a tax.

If Obama can deny that a charge is a tax even when it’s collected by the IRS and identified as a “tax” in the legislation creating it, he surely sees nothing tax-like in the money people are required to spend if they want to avoid that charge. Yet forcing people to buy insurance they do not want so their premiums can subsidize other people’s health care looks a lot like a tax-funded welfare program, even if the money does not flow through the public treasury.

Sobering

I have to admit that lately I have not had any faith at all in our government, Obamacrat or Republican and now after reading Peggy Noonan's latest column I think that I now understand why: We're Governed by Callous Children

We are governed at all levels by America's luckiest children, sons and daughters of the abundance, and they call themselves optimists but they're not optimists—they're unimaginative. They don't have faith, they've just never been foreclosed on. They are stupid and they are callous, and they don't mind it when people become disheartened. They don't even notice.

I would like to add that given this disengaged governance an entire class of American citizenry has been allowed to grow - millions - 47 Million at last count - that has come to rely entirely on the mindless, disinterested government for their existence. In some sense why should the rest of us care when millions of our "fellow" citizens don't?

Liberal Fads that Kill - kind of like Obamacare

This is what happens when rich countries try to inflict their trendy fads on poor countries - over at the WSJ, Bjorn Lomborg: Climate Change and Malaria in Africa.
