In This Dimension

Maybe the Brits Will Tell Obama Where to get Off?

So today, The One has promised us, he will meet with the CEO of BP and “inform him that he will…”

Where on earth does Obama come up with the idea that he gets to “inform” a foreign national how that national will behave in international waters while running his business?

Did I miss something - like barack’s coronation - while sleeping?

This idiot actually thinks he is some kind of a king or something.

Newsflash, obama - not only are you NOT a king, you are an idiot and less and less of the world has any use for you as the days[…]

The historic requirements for top living standards

Here’s an interesting article on the economic future of China.

China may or may not be of interest to you, however, so that’s not what I’m writing about.

Here is a quick encapsulation of the author’s view on the historical requirements to join the top ranks of countries in living standards:

• Limited government interference in economic decision making.
• Equal application of the rule of law.
• A small government to avoid waste and rent seeking.
• Low rates of taxation and other burdens on achievement, and free international trade with other countries.

According to him, “There have been no historical exceptions to the[se] requirements…”

Of course, the corollary would be this:

Yes, the Healthcare Critics WERE Right. You WILL lose Your Health Plan

No matter what Obama said, I mean no matter how nice-sounding his lies.

Here are the facts.

Enjoy.

This man HAS to be removed. And, no, we can’t await 2012.

So much for the Rule of Law … So Much for America

So a good friend of mine tells me the following: A very close relative of hers has a friend who is an FBI Agent.

… and, guess what?

ALL FBI Agents are under orders NOT to investigate Obama in any way.

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

If you think that conflicts with the rule of law, you are correct and you win a cookie.

If you think this is reasonable and our rulers should not be under the rule of law, you are un-American and you should move to a totalitarian country that agrees with your worldview.

If you are an American and believe in the rule[…]

Democrat Congressman in Action

If you haven’t seen this - you need to.

SERIOUSLY.

If you need any more convincing that our Democrat government thinks they are rulers, not a government of the people, look no further. They are thugs, pure and simple. A constituent asks a reasonable question - and gets assaulted by a CONGRESSMAN!!!

My comments in response to this are four:

1. Had it been my son, I’d be on a plane to DC now to beat that Congressman within an inch of his life, regardless of the consequences. NO ONE pushes MY kids around.

2. What is WRONG with our young men? When I was in[…]

Who is Protecting America and our Allies?

So here’s a question for you.

The primary Constitutional duty of our military is to defend the Constitution - and the nation. In a sane world, America’s military is allowed to do this through deterrence. Deterrence, of course, works with sane opponents, not insane ones.

What is a working definition of “insane” on the current world stage? Any nation whose residents strap bombs on themselves or their subjects or their children in the name of some absolutely barbaric Middle-Age totalitarian, despotic “religion,” is a working definition of geopolitical insanity.

Given that America has for nearly 200 years told nations of the Eastern Hemisphere[…]

Dodd: If we require a down payment, we’d restrict home ownership to “only those who can afford it.”

Not Really Rocket Science to Thinking People, nor a Surprise

This article, and the other linked within it, are good, quick reads for those who believe the current popular conception of Liberals and Conservatives.

Are “Liberals” smarter? Well, yes, they are smarter than “Progressives,” but they are certainly less-informed, and less well-educated and less charitable than Conservatives or Libertarians.

Don’t believe me? These are major polling companies doing the surveys and writing the reports.

The only folks who think Liberals are smart are, well… Liberals. And, of course, the operative word there is “think.” Smart people (Conservatives) KNOW that Liberals aren’t very smart.. it is, of course, why they are “liberal.”

Perhaps Liberals need to read[…]

Who is Crossing OUR Border and why is Obama not Enforcing the Law he is Sworn to Uphold?

I’ve posted before my general thoughts on illegal immigration. If you’ve read these posts you know my view that the Left and the Right are wrong, albeit in different ways, regarding illegal immigration.

But the common thread I hold with the Right is closing the border. It is OUR border. WE are responsible for it. Borders exist FOR A REASON.

What’s really going on down at the border? How about hundreds of folks from Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt, Pakistan, Somalia and a host of other enemy countries walking into - and disappearing into - America?

Based on the TV news links at the end of[…]

Understanding Obama - a View from Abroad

The Man Who Would Be King

By Steve McCann

Over the heads of some of the sycophants in the mainstream media there appears to be the proverbial light bulb turning on. After sixteen months of the Obama presidency, questions are being asked about not only his competency, but what motivates this putative savior.

The current President of the United States, acting in a way that would make Nero proud, continues to fiddle while not only the United States burns, but the rest of the world begins to spin out of control. The economy and the financial future of the country are in[…]
