Our International Embarrassment: Obama

Friday, March 26th, 2010 under Foreign Policy and International, The Rest of the World, War and Terrorism

So much for the guy who was going to “repair” our foreign relationship. What an infantile embarrassment we have put in our White House.

From Powerline:

Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the White House. The details of the meeting have been slow to come out, but we are now learning what transpired. The Telegraph reports that Obama opened the meeting by presenting a list of 13 demands to Netanyahu. One was a complete freeze on Jewish building in eastern Jerusalem.

When Netanyahu did not immediately agree to the demands, Obama went to eat dinner. In one account he told Netanyahu to consider[…]

USA v. Iran - A Different Idea?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 under Foreign Policy and International, War and Terrorism

This is an extremely interesting column by George Friedman, the CEO of StratFor, a global civilian intelligence organization.

Accepting that the two most-talked about ideas (striking Iran, cutting-off their gasoline supply) won’t work for some very realistic and factual reasons, he posits what seems to be a new - and quite intriguing idea, the possible repercussions of which could be very good.

Read it and consider….

Although he lacks faith in Obama to pursue this, and though Obama may be too low in political capital even to try something this counterintuitive, I wonder….  Obama may be intelligent and even cunning, after all….

Perhaps by following[…]

Brutal Reality Check

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010 under Demographics, Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Multiculturalism

Interesting article wrapped around the Winter Olympics.

Reality doesn’t get any more brutal than this.

Question: If ALL countries and cultures based on the Enlightenment fail, is any outcome other than another Dark Ages even possible?

Something to think about….

America, China and the US Debt

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Politics, Taxes & Economy, The Rest of the World

So …. China has a few trillion of our debt. It’s becoming (has become?) a national security problem.

Deadbeats in the US are voting en-mass for Democrats, who now pass social welfare and tax & spend policies that ensure a permanent underclass hold on our national government.

National Democrats want to remake the nation in the image of California - utterly bankrupt and failed due to decades of Demo misrule. Just like the national future is looking darker the longer Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Frank, Schumer, Rangel…. stay in power…

Here’s a thought: Recover that $2T in debt China owns by…. selling California to[…]

Random Thoughts, 25 Jan 2010

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Miscellaneous, Politics, The Rest of the World

So in the WSJ today a column that Barry, having been resoundingly told we DON’T LIKE HIS AGENDA, now will toughen his tone, not do a “reset” and keep on pushing his radical agenda.

Obama is your standard leftist adolescent. You don’t like what I just did? Watch while I do it ten times more! Nyah Nyah Nyah.

Never had to get a job. Pampered through years of schooling he probably didn’t qualify for (don’t argue, show me the transcripts and LSATs)

I can’t seriously believe we have to have 3 more years of this pre-adolescent irresponsible naif as president.

And we have Democrats,[…]

EU question for you

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010 under Foreign Policy and International

The EU now (and without vote by their new subjects - NOT citizens) has agglomerated foreign policy of its “member states,” handed out a single currency, basically eliminated borders, put in place both a President of the EU and a ruling Commission (both without even pretending to acknowledge democracy and make these offices subject to election or account), and stated that they have combined goals in foreign affairs/policy, economics, taxes, budgets, etc. They have told member states what their allowable budget deficit limits are. They have told farmers in each state what they can and cannot grow and what the[…]

Obama Executive Order Alters Your Legal Protections

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Politics, The Rest of the World

In the event you still believe the fantasy that Obama puts Americans, American Law and the Constitution first, this article by Floyd and Mary Beth Brown:

Obama Executive Order Alters Your Legal Protections

With the signing of an under-publicized amendment to Executive Order 12425, Barack Obama has fundamentally altered your constitutional rights. His actions are undermining your rights to protect personal privacy from a foreign internationalist police agency named Interpol. A one-paragraph executive order may seem inconsequential to many, but this action has far reaching implications and threatens the sovereignty of America.

Obama’s secretive Executive Order amended an order issued by President Reagan in[…]

Obama’s Christmas Bomber

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Politics, War and Terrorism

Lots of ink and photons already have been spilled on the Christmas bomber. (But obviously not enough - yet.)

Most, if not all, are wondering why Obama didn’t come off the links a tad earlier, put down the tennis racket a set sooner, or show a bit - just a bit - of concern for his 300-odd fellow Americans who almost had been murdered on his watch.

I continue to find this curiouser and curiouser…

At what point does everyone begin to understand that another 9/11 will allow Obama and Rahm to use that crisis to complete their takeover of America?

Obama doesn’t care[…]

Geert Wilders, Netherlands, in NYC on Islam and Europe

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Politics, The Rest of the World

Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the  Netherlands , at the Four Seasons, New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots and  announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in  Jerusalem.

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me.

I come to  America  with  a mission.  All is not well in the old world.  There is a  tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic.   We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe.  This not  only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a[…]

You Need to Read this.. Open Letter to the IPCC Chair that he should be Stripped of Office

Thursday, December 17th, 2009 under Climate, Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Politics, The Rest of the World

This letter is great stuff. It’s about 13 pages of text and diagrams and commentary hammering the Chair of the IPCC for financial fraud, scientific fraud, fake diagrams, published and lectured false statements.

Evidently the Chair also is the Chair of the Tata Energy Research Institute, which has just closed a steel plant in Britain (costing 1700 British jobs) to move it to India ( to roll EXACTLY the same amount of steel) so they will get billions in carbon credits, etc. He stands to make out HUGELY financially via any “Climate Change” decisions @ Copenhagen, where he is now.

Example paragraphs (all[…]
