Obama Calls Honduran President's Removal "Not Legal"

You know what? I'm not going to mince words. Obama is scaring the bejesus out of me. Seriously.

Aren't we supposed to be the bastion of democracy in the world? Are we not, still, Ronald Reagan's "shining city upon a hill"? Well, apparently, if Obama has anything to say about it, NO!

U.S. President Barack Obama

Let me recap, for you, what our President has called "not legal" in Honduras.

The President of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, recently tried to put an unconstitutional referendum on the ballot, which was an attempt at remaining in power past his democratically elected term. Honduras' constitution clearly states a one term limit for their Presidents. The reason this limit is in place is to try and keep the possibilities of a dictator taking control of the country.

Honduran President Manuel Zelaya

You have to remember, this is a country that has had problems with dictators in the past. So, to have this guy making a move towards trying to stay in power past his duly appointed term, raised red flags with their Supreme Court and other branches of the government.

The last straw was when he approached Romeo Vasquez Valasquez, the head of the Honduran military, with a request to back him up. When Valasquez refused to go against the constitution, Zelaya ousted him. It doesn't take much of a leap of common sense to assume Zelaya had plans on replacing him with a yes man. The Honduran Supreme Court, later the same day, re-installed Valasquez to his position.

Zelaya paid no mind to the Supreme Court and tried to go on with his plans for the referendum, which by now was deemed illegal by the Supreme Court, the Attorney General, the Congress and the country's top electoral body.

On June 27th, protesters began to march on the capital city in opposition to Zelaya. The Supreme Court, military and other governing bodies called for a cessation of the protests, amid fears of all out riots and fighting.

On June 28th, Zelaya was detained on orders of the Supreme Court and flown to Costa Rica in exile.

So, this is a basic recap of the situation in Honduras, as it stands. For a little more background on Zelaya, it must be noted, this is a man that has allied himself with Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. He also has made disparaging comments about the United States on several occasions. By his actions, statements and the company he keeps, Zelaya has shown which side of democracy he falls on.

The question is, what side of democracy does Obama fall on? Before you go thinking that is an outrageous question, I would beg you to judge a tree by it's fruit.

First, let's take Obama's own words into account. He stated that his mother was "the dominant figure in my formative years... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics."

That statement begs the question of what his mother's politics were all about. A look back into her life clearly shows statements, associations and leanings toward communism, socialism and Marxism. She never tried to hide her political beliefs which were extreme leftist.

So, if what she taught him continues to be his touchstone when it comes to politics, as he stated, that really explains everything he has done, thus far, while in office.

Next let's take a look at the people Obama associated himself with in Chicago. The biggest majority of them were openly anti-American socialists. Such "upstanding patriots" as William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Saul Mendelson, Louis Farrakhan, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) among others in and out of Chicago.

We could go through them one at a time, but for time's sake let's just say they are a group including a domestic terrorist, anti-Americans, leftists and a group aimed at turning us into a socialist or communist nation. And these were Obama's closest associates in Chicago.

You may say who he associated himself with means absolutely nothing. You may say it doesn't necessarily mean he holds the same beliefs. You may even say his statement about his Marxist mother being his touchstone and his most dominant influence, doesn't convince you. Ok, let's say all of that overwhelming evidence didn't exist. Let's say all we had to go on was what he has done since he's been in office. What then?

Well, we've already pointed out his latest damning statement about the Honduran government and military's removal of their, Hugo Chavez loving, President Zelaya being "not legal". Yeah, ok, how dare a people rise up against a wanna be dictator and remove him from office. We Americans wouldn't know anything about rebelling against a ruler who was trying to oppress us, would we?

In the Gettysburg Address, President Abraham Lincoln said we should all, as Americans, dedicate ourselves so that a government "of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth."

Wake up America!!! Our nation was formed in such ways. Democracy should always be a government of the people, by the people and for the people. When you call a rebellion by the people against a ruler who was trying to change a country's constitution, "not legal", I and every other freedom loving human on the planet should sit up and take notice.

This is the same President who just recently would not give a word of support to protesters in Iran who are starved for a change in their oppressive government. He stepped it up a notch against Honduran protesters and called their actions "not legal".

Now let's move on to his plans of socializing our health care, government take overs of banks, auto manufacturers and any other private business it deems necessary for "the good of the people".

These are all things he has either already done, in his short time in office, or is trying to get done. This is a man who was reared on leftist thinking and is steeped in socialistic ideals.

I'm scared, and that's no joke. I'm terrified at what else he may be allowed to do with no check or balance in Congress to stop him from his socialist agenda.

I was not born into a socialist society and I do not want to live in a socialist society. I was born a free United States citizen and I would like it to stay that way.

Does it ever make you wonder why the left is so dead set against law abiding United States citizens owning guns? Do they worry that one day, when they flip the switch completely over to communism, the population will smell the socialist stinking coffee and rise up, as they have in Iran and Honduras, but with the weapons and ammunition to make a dent?

Just remember, our country was born out of armed citizen's rebelling against a government they felt was oppressive and did not agree with. So, when our president makes a public statement, such as he did by calling the ouster of an out of control leader, "not legal", that is a slap in the face to our ancestors who basically done the same exact thing.

Waxman-Markey Global Warming Bill

Well, they snuck it in while we wasn't looking. While the country was busy following the tragic news coming out of L.A. yesterday, the House of Representatives was busy passing the Global Warming Bill by 7 votes.

All we can hope for now is the Senate ripping this, wolf in sheep's clothing, bill to shreds. We all better keep our fingers crossed. Let's hope the Senate takes a bit more time to read the approx. 1,400 page bill. The House freely admitted, no one had read the bill completely. Kinda makes you wonder what kind of earmarks were snuck into the bill.

So, if passed by both the House and the Senate and signed into law by the President, what does it mean to you and I? Well, first thing it will do is pretty much force the coal industry out of business. That means all those coal miners and their families will be searching for new employment. I wonder what kind of rise in unemployment this will cause? I wonder how much more of a burden on the welfare system this will cause?

Next will be the rise in our utilities. Yes, there will be an increase in your utilities, so get ready for it. Electricity, water and natural gas prices are going to rise. This isn't a theory, it is a fact. Even the politicians supporting the bill freely admit to this. But, how much? Well, according to most estimates you should be looking at an approximate $1,200 - $1,400 increase per year.

Next is fuel prices. I have seen varying estimations on the rise it will cause in fuel prices. These estimates have ranged from a $1.50 - $5.00 per gallon increase. So, more or less, we could expect to see what happened last year to happen again, except this time to stay.

Starting in 2012 and going through 2035, our gross domestic product losses caused by this bill will average $491 billion per year. By 2035 the total GDP loss is expected to be $9.4 trillion. There's that T word again. Must be Obama's favorite letter or something.

These numbers do not even take into account what it will do to the rest of the economy as a whole. Remember, our economy is very much linked together. When one facet is affected by rising costs it will assuredly affect another.

So you can best bet when fuel and utilities go up, it will cause pretty much everything else to go up. Expect to be paying higher prices at the grocery stores, department stores, clothing stores, hardware stores, hair dressers, nail salons, athletic gyms, doctor's office, dentist office, convenient stores, your plumber, your roofer, your lawn guy, etc...etc...

Basically, everything will be going up if this bill, now passed by the House of Representatives yesterday, somehow passes through the Senate, as is, also.

Haven't we let Obama spend enough? I've never seen such backward thinking in Washington in all my years. Isn't it basic economics to know if you are in debt you have to conserve. Instead, Washington has decided to try and spend their way out of debt. That DOES NOT and CAN NOT work.

Being in debt is very much akin to being in slavery. I'm starting to get an eerie feeling that may be the whole point. Look what it has done to the Auto industry. They now are, basically, servants to the government. The government now has complete control over them. They are the governments slaves.

The states that have taken the government's stimulus money will be facing the same fate. Thank God, with all my state's (Louisiana) faults withstanding, we haven't accepted the stimulus. We have Bobby Jindal to thank for that.

My whole point to the slavery comment, though, is to ask a simple question. Just where are we getting all this money and who are we (United States) indebted to. Well, our biggest lenders have been China ($740 billion) and Japan ($635 billion).

Japan is an ally that would probably have patience with us. Do you think China would give us the same consideration? I have my doubts. So, what happens if they call in the debt? Well the quick simple answer is they can't. They are invested in treasury bills that do not all mature simultaneously.

That being said, they still have a vested interest in the way we handle our finances. If we are foolish with the way we spend and it drives our dollar down, then it also drives their investment down. How do you think they feel about that? I'm sure they're not happy with us right now. Matter of fact, they have said they are concerned and who can blame them. I'm concerned, too.

So, if they can't call in the debt we don't have anything to worry about with them, right? Well, no not exactly. If you don't think the U.S. foreign creditors hold sway over us, just think about your own situation. Does your creditors hold sway over you? Well of course they do. If they didn't you wouldn't get up and go to work every morning.

Essentially, we are slaves to our creditors. That statement goes for individuals as well as entire countries.

Anyhow, I got way off on a whole separate subject there. Well, not really, because it's all intertwined. This Global Warming bill just puts us further in debt and if we add up what Obama has already spent it's mind boggling. We're talking TRILLIONS people, not billions.

Ok, I'm stepping down off my soap box now. But, if you are as concerned as I am, call your Senator, write them or email them. Just make sure they know you're not happy with all this spending and you want it all stopped. And that includes this Global Warming Bill.

Now Performing At Your Local House Of Representatives...

As mortified and embarrassed as I am that this happened in my state's House of Representatives, I had to post this to show the complete lack of sense some of these politicians have.

Who in the hell would have ever approved this performance in a setting that is supposed to be dealing with serious issues of the state? Somebody needs to be fired. Pronto!!!

I was going to post the lyrics on here, but after giving them a once over, I've decided I don't want them on my blog. That's hilarious. I don't want them on my lowly blog, but my state wants them in our House of Representatives. How embarrassing.

I'm gonna start telling everybody I'm from my birth state (Illinois) if this kinda crap keeps up. Oh wait...Illinois produced Blago and Obama......Damn!!! I wonder if Alaska minds if I apply for honorary citizenship???

Here's the lyrics if you prefer to read them. But, be warned, they are fairly graphic.

Obama the Fly Killer

I can't believe I'm writing on this subject, but here goes.

If you were anywhere near a television the past few days, you had to have seen the video clip, up above, of President Obama pulling his best Mr. Miyagi impression and killing a suicidal fly. Other than being extremely impressed with the President's lightning fast reflexes, it was no big deal, right? Well...

You see, Mr. Miyagi didn't actually kill the fly, he just caught it between the chopsticks and let it go. President Obama, on the other hand, did what 99.9% of the world's population would have done and summarily gave it an honorable death.

Therein lies the problem. You see, we have this out of control organization, which was originally formed with good intentions, called PETA. Most people know PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. However, after hearing of their statement condemning the President for his failure "...to act wisely and mercifully toward animals.", I believe PETA should stand for Practically Every Thought Assbackwards.

Seriously, can you believe when asked for their official statement on the matter, PETA actually said on their official blog, The PETA Files, "...human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act."? Wow!!! I'm dumbfounded by the insanity of some people in this country.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not for the total eradication of the common housefly. I'm sure they have their purpose on this earth, if not, God would not have put them here. However, a single, clearly aggravating, fly is very insignificant, in the scheme of things, when there are estimations of 10's of quadrillions on the planet. Yep, that's -illions with a Q.

What really peeves me about this story is the hypocrisy. PETA actually puts down thousands of pets every year, in the name of overpopulation. If -illions with a Q isn't overpopulation, I don't know what is. Besides, flies carry over a hundred different diseases, including tuberculosis, anthrax, typhoid, cholera, salmonella, and parasitic worms. Hell, as far as I'm concerned, it's the first thing Obama has done that I approve of.

People, like the Peta folk, are so concerned over 1 housefly out of the -illions with a Q. Yet, couldn't care less about, even, 1 solitary dollar out of the -illions with a T the President wants us to throw away on, the disaster waiting to happen that is, the Health Care Reform Bill.

Worse than this, is the fact that, many of these same people are the ones who argue so vehemently in support of aborting human babies. There are an estimated 1.3 - 1.4 million abortions per year in the United States alone. Have you heard, even, one of these wackos speak up for the right to live these children deserve? Yet, a common housefly deserves more consideration than a human being.

I said it earlier people, assbackwards. There are waaaaay too many people in this country who's thinking is completely discombobulated. Matter of fact, if you flip USA backwards, AS U can clearly see everything is bassackwards.

Hey Big Spender

I really need to preface this post by saying, I really didn't start this blog site with the intention of downing or beating up on our current President. And, I do not intend that to be the focus of future posts, but when there is relevant news that, in my opinion, puts President Obama in a bad light, I also will not shy away from it.

I just wanted to get that out of the way, in case anyone reading might have the false impression, from previous posts, that I'm just here to cast a negative portrayal of the current administration and it's policies. That being said, I would like to get to some huge news that broke this morning.

Anyone who followed last year's elections know that a big focus of the Obama campaign was on Health Care Reform. He made it well known his goal was to make sure every United States citizen had some form of health care coverage. While it's fine and dandy to say such things, you have to consider every aspect of what such a lofty goal would require.

Today's short-sightedness is a bane to our future as a country. And, it is my humble opinion, President Obama has been very short-sighted, indeed. So far, in his very short time in office, Mr. Obama has managed to outspend every single President before him put together.

That's correct, you heard me right. President Obama, in approximately the usual time it takes for most new Presidents to figure out where all the bathrooms in the White House are, has spent more money than every president, from George Washington to George W. Bush, all put together. That seems like an impossibility, but it is indeed the fact.

So, how does one top such a dubious distinction? Well, by spending even more money, of course. Which brings us to the subject of this post. Health Care Reform.

The news broke this morning of how much money it would take to implement President Obama's Health Care Reform Bill. This price tag was issued by a non-partisan committee that was formed to get down to the brass tax of such bills.

Are you ready for this? The price tag to implement Obama's bill is 1 trillion dollars. That's right, trillion with a big gigantic capital T. Do you people realize how much money we're talking about here? $1,000,000,000,000. That's a lot of zeros!!!

That number is so mind boggling, the U.K. and the U.S. cannot even agree on the true nature of how much it actually is. If you don't believe me, go check the dictionary and find out for yourselves. Some describe it as a billion millions, others as a million million millions. Either way, it's a whole hell of a lot of money.

Here's the kicker. That $1,000,000,000,000 we were just discussing will only take care of 1/3 of the American citizens. That's right, you heard me correctly again. That astronomical number will not even do the job. It will take another 2 trillion to cover the rest of the nation.

That's $3,000,000,000,000 to implement Obama's Health Care Reform Bill all together. Call me naive or stupid, but I have to ask one question. Who is going to pay for all this? We certainly can't pay for this today. As previously shown, Obama has already spent more than every other administration before him put together. So where do we get this money?

Unfortunately, if this plan is allowed to pass through Congress, it will be our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so on and so on, who would bear this burden. Well, excuse me for not being selfish, but I'm not willing to bankrupt my descendants future just so some people living presently can have Health Care Coverage.

Before anyone reading goes saying "Well that's easy for you to say when you can afford health insurance.", I should tell you I, myself, do not have the privilege of being insured. Nor, does my wife. Self-employed health insurance is just too expensive for me to afford presently, and we seem, according to the government, to make just a bit too much to be covered by Medicaid. Thank God the government does cover our children, though.

The selfish person in me would love to see this bill passed, but the sensible and rational person in me knows it would be a total and complete disaster for this country in every way possible. Not only will it bankrupt future generations of Americans, but it also lends to downgraded quality of health care today. Just ask the people living in the U.K. and Canada and they will recount nightmare story after nightmare story of waiting periods for exams, medicines, tests and the such.

Lower pay and fees for practitioners and health care facilities have been targeted as a means to help pay for this "Reform". Well, just what do you think that is going to do to the health care profession? If the best and the brightest don't see a profitable future in the career of health care, they will move on to more secure and stable careers. This will lead to significant downgrades in quality care. This is a fact not a presumption. All we have to do is look at the precedent set in the U.K. and Canada.

So, I come to the end of this article and you may want to know what you can do about it one way or the other. I would suggest for you to pick up your phone, get out your pen and paper or log on to your government websites and let your Congressmen and Senators know we do not want to sacrifice our children's futures for our comforts today.

Great Retirement Plan

You gotta hand it to these Uighurs (pronounced WEE-gurs), they really know how to set up a life plan. Here is the Uighurs 7 step plan to retiring in style:

1. Rebel against your government.

2. Travel to Afghanistan and Pakistan to train at Al-Queda terrorist camps.

3. Get caught at camps by American soldiers.

4. Get sent off to Guantanamo Bay (huge upgrade over terrorist camp) for 3 squares a day and a secure place to lay your head.

5. Live a worry free 7 years at Gitmo, while waiting for silly Americans to elect a liberal into office.

6. Count on liberal to be, well, LIBERAL and release you and your pals.

7. Have the added bonus of new silly American president releasing you onto a tropical island paradise to live out your life in style.

These new photos were just released by the AP, which show the Uighurs living it up. In my last post I mentioned some of these Uighurs to you, who were being released onto the island of Palau. These guys may have one upped those guys, though.

These guys were released onto the vacation paradise of Bermuda. Gotta love the way the new administration deals with terrorists, don't ya? Great job Mr. Prez. Way to make us look like absolute fools to the rest of the world.

Here are the AP released photos of the Uighurs enjoying life on their new tropical island home:

"Thank you so much, Mr. Obama. Care to join me for a swim?"

"We've never had it so good. We have to thank the new American president for giving us the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful ice cream."

Miranda Rights for Terrorists???

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights?"

Anyone who has ever watched a cop show, or had the misfortune of having them personally read to you, has heard these rights before. Most of us could probably recite them from memory very easily.

These are the Miranda Rights we , as citizens of the United States, have that protect us from self-incrimination. Our 5th amendment rights were fortified with the ruling of the Supreme Court in 1966, which instituted the reading of Miranda Rights to any U.S. citizen taken into custody.

Miranda Rights were nothing new, but were simply a re-statement of our 5th amendment rights.

Now that we have a very condensed history of Miranda Rights out of the way, we come to the reason I'm writing this article.

President Obama has ordered the FBI and the CIA to read any terrorist taken into custody, worldwide, Miranda Rights. What?!?!?!

Let me say that again. Our President has ordered the FBI and the CIA to read captured terrorists Miranda Rights. Even after typing it a 2nd time, I'm still at a loss.

First off, these terrorists are not U.S. citizens. They have no "right" to Miranda Rights under our law. How in the world does the President expect us to ever get any information out of these captured terrorists when first, our soldiers have had the ability to force coercion taken away, with water boarding (not torture) being banned, and now the President wants terrorists explicitly warned not to talk. RIDICULOUS!!!

I'm not quite sure what President Obama is up to when it comes to captured terrorists. First he sends these captured Chinese terrorists, who were being detained in Guantanamo Bay, to live on a beautiful tropical island called Palau, near the Philippines. And now, he's affording terrorists, caught on the field of battle, rights they have no "right" to.

If this wasn't such a sad commentary on the stupidity in Washington, it would be funny.

Hey, I have a solution for our homeless problem in America. Just have all the homeless people make terrorist threats, then they can be detained and sent off to live out their lives on a tropical island.

Please, please. I beg you. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! And smell what BARACK is cooking.
