Fall Of The Republic
December 21, 2009
Shortly after 1:00 AM EST the votes were cast, toppling in disgrace one of the most important institutions in the history of democracy. In the dead of night, on Christmas week, 58 democratic and 2 self declared independent members of The United States Senate, voted for Cloture to end “debate” on Barack Obama’s healthcare takeover bill.
The most far reaching piece of legislation in 50 years, which will significantly impact the lives every American citizen, was drafted in secrecy by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in conjunction with aides from the White House. The time allotted for debate of the 2,000+ page bill, that only a handful of the senators had even seen and none had read, was less than 48 hours.
In a slavish manner reminiscent of the once illustrious senators of the ancient Roman Republic who were eventually reduced to puppet status under the Roman emperors, the 60 votes were cast without regard for the best interests of the country, the will of the people, or personal integrity. Their emperor wanted it done by Christmas.

The President IS The Problem

Obamanomics undermines growth and hiring
With the nation’s unemployment rate rising steadily above 10%, it was time for another one of President Obama’s symbolism over substance “summits”.
Thursday’s Job Summit followed the standard summit format. A dramatic opening address by the president, followed by the summit attendees disappearing into conference where they were photographed brainstorming at the president’s behest. The following day, in a carefully orchestrated “town hall” meeting, Mr Obama will declare the summit a success, but warn that everyone will have to be patient on results.
Very patient. Because every economic policy President Barack Obama has implemented completely contravenes the tried and true policies that have ended recessions in the past. And the president’s announced plans for the future have employers large and small scared witless.

Running Up The White Flag
December 3, 2009
Another “new direction” for America. They win. We lose
Commander And Chief President Barack Obama issued his terms for surrender to the Taliban in Afghanistan last night. The Taliban has 18 months to throw down their arms, disband their forces and return to their villages and begin living as good, peace loving Afghani civilians ought to live. And if the Taliban won’t even listen to a Nobel Peace laureate, well forget it then. Commander And Chief Obama is pulling US troops out.
These terms are surely no surprise to the Taliban. The president said in July that he didn’t envision a military victory in Afghanistan. The Taliban, in fact, may have a completely different view of which side will be running up the white flag come July, 2011.
Eschewing the standard venue of the Oval Office, the nation’s foremost political campaigner instead utilized cadets at the US Military Academy at West Point as props while delivering a contradictory, muddled address to nation which made little sense, even to his lap dogs in the media. This much, however, is certain. More America soldiers will die at the hands of Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorist fighters over the next eighteen months. And then America will give up. They win. We lose.
