Is Obama a "Post Turtle"?

While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our President.

The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'post turtle'.

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.

The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.'

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain. 'You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb ass put him up there to begin with.'


Just who did put Barrack Hussein Obama in the position he's found himself?
I'm not a PC type of guy so I'll give you my opinion whether you'll agree or be offended.

I'm thinking it was the George Soros and MoveOn.org crowd. Or maybe it was some of his racist socialist friends like Reverend Wright and his former church buddies. It could be any of the "Blame America First" acolytes.

All I know is that for all the apprehension I felt with the fact that Hillary Clinton could have been elected, I feel downright fear at the possibility of a President Obama. At least with Clinton I had the feeling that she had a very firm idea of what she was getting into.

With Obama, I don't think he's got a clue.

That's what scares me the most.

Obama’s Global Poverty Act. Is he kidding?

A nice-sounding bill called the "Global Poverty Act," sponsored by Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Barack Obama, is up for a Senate vote on Thursday and could result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States. The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.

Senator Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has not endorsed either Senator Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in the presidential race. But on Thursday, February 14, he is trying to rush Obama's "Global Poverty Act" (S.2433) through his committee. The legislation would commit the U.S. to spending 0.7 percent of gross national product on foreign aid, which amounts to a phenomenal 13-year total of $845 billion over and above what the U.S. already spends.

It appears the Senate version is being pushed not only by Biden and Obama, a member of the committee, but Richard Lugar, the ranking Republican member.

I have to ask, when has the burden on ending global poverty been America's responsibility?

How can Obama be serious about putting a greater tax burden on the American people for foreign aid when by his own accounts there is so much to be done about poverty here in the United States?

As Americans we are well known for our generosity. We are consistently the first ones to arrive when there are world disasters. We give with our money, sweat and blood. We give to charity even when things are looking down. We give even though our own situation my not be the best. We do it because it's the right thing to do, to help people less fortunate is not required, it is the morally decent thing to do. We don't look for pats on the back and "atta boys", it just gets done because it's right.

Now when Barrack Obama says he wants to put an extra tax burden on American citizens to the tune of $8,500 per household, we have to say "Whoa, hold your horses". There's so much to be done here in our country first.

To take from our citizens at a time when the doomsayers are shouting "recession and depression" cannot happen.

Especially if the United Nations in the going to be the banker, the organization that doles out these funds. We all saw how well the U.N.'s Oil for Food program worked. The top dawgs in the U.N. got rich off of that

Memorial Day 2008

As General H. Norman Schwarzkopf observed:

"It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle".

President Bush's Knesset Speech.

"There are good and decent people who cannot fathom the darkness in these men and try to explain away their words. It's natural, but it is deadly wrong. As witnesses to evil in the past, we carry a solemn responsibility to take these words seriously. Jews and Americans have seen the consequences of disregarding the words of leaders who espouse hatred. And that is a mistake the world must not repeat in the 21st century.

Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: "Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided." We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history." (excerpt from President Bush's Knesset speech, May 15, 2008)

It's funny how so many are coming forward and calling his speech a disgrace - calling it an insult to Jews and to Israel itself.

It's funny that some of you are saying this despite the fact that he received a standing ovation after giving that speech!

And it's very funny how Senator Barack Obama calls the speech "a disgraceful attack on me and my campaign" He then says, "I never said I would sit down and talk with our enemies" Well, if you never said it, how is President Bush's speech an attack on you?

Bush reaffirmed to Israel that the America will continue to support her and not give in to the demands of terrorists. He was applauded for this by the very people you all claim were offended.

When have Israel's enemies - Hezbollah, Hamas, the PLO, and Al-Qaeda ever asked for talks to resolve the situation? When have these groups ever said, "Look, we think it's unfair and we would like to work out a diplomatic solution"? NEVER! Instead, they brainwash their followers into believing suicide bombing is the way to salvation.

President Bush was right in this speech. Our enemy can be compared to Hitler. He never tried to negotiate either - he just sent his troops out wherever he wanted a piece of land.

Those who think our enemies now are any different are incredibly foolish. I am sure if Bin Laden, instead of financing terrorist attacks, instead used his wealth and influence to seek diplomatic solutions, the America would have been happy to sit down with him. But that's not how people like Bin Laden operate.

The Bin Laden's of this world don't want anything but to see us dead, enslaved or assimilated into Islam.

Remember that line in the movie "Independence Day". When President Whitmore asks the captured alien "What do you want us to do?" the alien replies "Die, Die!". I view radical Islam as an alien culture and that line is dead on with their attitude towards Western Civilization.

So Senator Obama, I ask you, do you think you can change their minds?

Remember the Election in 2006?

They were telling all who would listen that they would clean up Washington. They said that we are on the wrong path. Trust us, they said. We'll fix all that ails our country.

Just return us to our rightful place as leaders of America.

In less than two years. Remember the election in 2006?

Let's consider the following that has taken place since:

Less than two years ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:
1) Consumer confidence plummet;
2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure..

America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

Remember it is Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what's handed to him.

And this Democratic Congress has been sitting on it's collective thumbs rotating while they blame it all on the current administration.

A liberal is a person who will give away everything he doesn't don't own.

The L.A Times...All the Crap that's fit to print!

The L.A. Times in all its "wisdom" has decided that because Presidential Candidate John McCain is receiving a disability pension for the U.S. Navy that he may not be "fit" to serve a President.

And in a further insult to a man who was tortured for his country as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam, they question the pension's tax-free status.

As a POW, Lt. Commander John S. McCain was badly wounded, his captors refused to treat his injuries, instead torturing and interrogating him to gain information. Only when the North Vietnamese discovered that his father was a top admiral did they give him medical care. McCain spent six weeks in the Hoa Loa hospital, receiving marginal care. McCain was sent to a different camp on the outskirts of Hanoi in December 1967, into a cell with two other Americans who did not expect him to live a week. In March 1968, McCain was put into solitary confinement, where he would remain for two years.

In July 1968, McCain's father was named commander of all U.S. forces in the Vietnam Theater. McCain was immediately offered early release. The North Vietnamese wanted a worldwide propaganda coup by appearing merciful, and also wanted to show other POWs that elites like McCain were willing to be treated preferentially. McCain turned down the offer of repatriation; he would only accept the offer if every man taken in before him was released as well.

In August of 1968, a program of severe torture began on McCain, at the same time as he was suffering from dysentery and McCain made an anti-American propaganda "confession". He has always felt that his statement was dishonorable, but as he would later write, "I had learned what we all learned over there: Every man has his breaking point. I had reached mine. "His injuries left him permanently incapable of raising his arms above his head. He subsequently received two to three beatings per week because of his continued refusal to sign additional statements. Other American POWs were similarly tortured and maltreated in order to extract "confessions" and propaganda statements, with many enduring even worse treatment than McCain.

This is a man who has endured, survived, accomplished and excelled despite his wartime injuries. For the "Socialist" L.A. Times to infer that Senator McCain is not fit to be President is an insult to all who've served this country. Would this paper have ever dared to make the same claim of President Franklin D, Roosevelt back in the '30s and '40s? Would this "newspaper" ever have the balls to publish photos or print stories of FDR in his wheelchair or his struggling to stand upright with his crutches? I doubt it.

Boston vs Montreal - Game 7

Do we dare to think that these Bruins will win tonight in Montreal?

We Shall See!

Mrs. Clinton, a Gun Totin' Church goer? Nah!

She described herself as a pro-gun churchgoer, recalling that her father taught her how to shoot a gun when she was a young girl and said that her faith “is the faith of my parents and my grandparents.”

Just when I think I've heard it all from Mrs. Clinton, she suddenly claims she relates to Gun Owners and Church going people. Did she all of a sudden have this revelation that maybe, just maybe the authors of our Constitution had it right, that the Second Amendment guarantees the private ownership of guns by it's citizens? And never seen much in a way of public religious conversation on her part either.

Ok, since religion is in my opinion a private matter, I'll be kind enough to leave that between Mrs. Clinton and her higher power as she may see it. So let's just see a couple of items regarding Hillary's public record on gun ownership.

First let's read the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

In 1998 she agreed in principle to treating gun manufacturers in the same way that government went after Big Tobacco. The thought was that initiating class action suits against gun manufacturers would cripple the industry in such a way that they would no longer sell to private citizens. Good idea. Let's put more honest, hardworking Americans out of work. The poor criminals will now have to get their weapons from the black market. Oh, wait. Isn't that where they get them now?

The time was September of 2000. Hillary is quoted as saying: "We have to keep guns away from people who shouldn't have them". Wow, what a genius! No one ever thought of that before. Law abiding citizens should not be barred from owning firearms...Period!

I would like to see a picture, if one existed, of Mrs. Clinton holding a weapon. I think it might be in the nature of her posing with some of those Black Panthers that she defended back in the late '60s.

Maybe she sported an Afro while brandishing a sawed off Remington.

Absolut Mexico? No - Absolut-ly Wrong!

A new advertising campaign by Swedish vodka maker Absolut shows a North American map as it appeared before the Mexican-American war of 1848 where after the United States annexed what is now the southwestern states.

Are they serious? Did some ad exec come up with this idea after consuming vast quantities of the product? Or is it some open borders proponent's geopolitical fantasy?

This goes to show how multi-national companies are starting to view America. They must feel that our time is upon us to be showing this kind of disdain for our nation. Or are they just pandering to the illegals in America to gain a larger market share?

What next? Is Absolut going to advertise a map of the USA showing the Confederate States of America in the south?

I think I'd Trust the Original Stooges More!

I know it's April 1st, but seriously, is this the best we can do?

Dith Pran (1942 - 2008) Survivor of the Cambodian Holocaust.

Human history has been spotted by bloody holocausts. Dith Pran survived one of the bloodiest holocaust in human history, the Cambodian Holocaust by the Communist Khmer Rouge in late half of 1970s. Under the Maoist leadership led by Pot Pot, 1.7 million people out of 7.9 million population were perished.

Holocaust left victims and survivors. A brave survivor sprang up in his voice to awake the rest of the world to recognize the tragedy. Pran's story was portrayed by the Academy award winning movie, The Killing Fields. Now he has his own voice as, "Part of my life is saving life. I don't consider myself a politician or a hero. I'm a messenger. If Cambodia is to survive, she needs many voices."

Pran was born on September 27, 1942, in Angkor Wath, famous historic site with the Buddhist temple. He worked for the tourist business until the civil war spread across the border with Vietnam. He changed his career as a war correspondent to make a team with Sydney Schanberg, then a New York Time correspondent. They covered the Cambodian civil war from 1972 to 1975.

The overturn by the communist Khmer Rouge on April 12, 1975 changed Pran's destiny forever. The U.S. supported Ron Noll's government fell into the hand of Maoist leader Pot Pot. On the day, Pran and Schanberg still covered the fall of the capital, Phnom Penh.

It did not take long for them to be arrested by Khmer Rouge, the anti-American guerillas. The young guerillas put guns to their heads for instant execution. "They are French journalists!" Dith shouted. "They are here to write about your great victory." He talked non-stop attempting to persuade the guerillas to release them. When they were set free, they rushed into the French embassy. Later Schanberg was expelled from Cambodia and Pran headed toward his hometown disguising himself as a taxi-driver. Pran heard that his wife and children successfully escaped out of the country with foreigners.

The philosophy of the Khmer Rouge, symbolized by the word of 'Angka,' was to return the Cambodian society to a primitive community. All towns and cities were emptied and all hospitals and schools were closed. They propagated their philosophy as "Angka is taking us back to year zero."

Dith Pran was located at one of labor camps where he worked as a cook for blacksmiths. Desperate for food, he crept into the rice field and grabbed a handful of grain. However, he was captured by guards, half of whom were teenage girls. They beat him with butt-ends bamboo sticks. Fortunately he was released after a night on his knees with his arms and legs bound together.

North Vietnamese invaded Cambodia in December 1978. The Vietnamese troops captured Phnom Penh the following year. Dith came back to his hometown only to discover that his father had starved to death in 1975, the Khmer Rouge executed his three brothers and his sister was murdered with her husband and two children.

Pran crossed the jungle seeded with land mines to refugee camp in Thailand border leaving his country behind. Sydney Schanberg, the New York Times journalist, took the first flight to Thailand just after hearing Pran's survival. On first seeing Sydney at the refugee camp, Dith told with almost a fainted voice, "You must write it."

In 1976, Schanberg was awarded by Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of Cambodia civil war. He accepted the Prize with the name of Dith Pran. Finally Pran flew over to the U.S. and reunited with his family. Since 1980 he has worked as a photojournalist for the New York Times.

Sydney wrote a moving story titled "The Death and Life of Dith Pran" for the New York Times Magazine in January 1980. This story was recreated into the movie, "The Killing Fields."

Dith Pran, dead today at age 65.

Fitna The Movie: A View about Muslims in the Netherlands. Can the rest of Western Democracy be far behind?

For those of you who can stomach the truth about Islam and Islamofascist ideology, please watch this short film by Geert Wilders about the Quran. It's about 14 -15 minutes but it shows you things that the appeasers don't want you to know.

UPDATE (8:00 pm): This film has been removed by LiveLeak.com. It seems that it's content is too revealing in it's truth about the so-called "Religion of Peace". The faithful do not like it when passages from their Scriptures show them for what they are.

Unfortunately, there were Death Threats made concerning their employees and I think the wise thing was for them to remove it. If I find another link I'll make sure it's posted here.

** 30/3/2008: Liveleak Update **

On the 28th of March LiveLeak.com was left with no other choice but to remove the film "fitna" from our servers following serious threats to our staff and their families. Since that time we have worked constantly on upgrading all security measures thus offering better protection for our staff and families. With these measures in place we have decided to once more make this video live on our site. We will not be pressured into censoring material which is legal and within our rules. We apologise for the removal and the delay in getting it back, but when you run a website you don't consider that some people would be insecure enough to threaten our lives simply because they do not like the content of a video we neither produced nor endorsed but merely hosted.
