How Low Can He Go?

One of the reasons why the Left hated all things George W. Bush - besides cutting taxes, halting Federal funding for stem cell research and nominating conservative judges to the Federal bench - was the way he conducted foreign policy. He started his Administration by skillfully negotiating the release of American naval aviators being held hostage by the Communist Chinese after their P-3 reconnaissance aircraft was damaged in a mid-air collision with a Chinese fighter. While gaining the aircrew their freedom, Mr. Bush insisted that they were conducting lawful operations in international airspace and were the innocent victims of Chinese aggression, a position that while undeniably true, ran counter to the traditional liberal position that the United States is always to blame in any international incident. He refused to apologize to the ChiComs just as he refused to apologize to the Russians for abandoning the ABM Treaty, or to the UN for calling them a debating society while he liberated Afghanistan, or to the Europeans for waterboarding Al Qaeda thugs while they whined in outrage. George W. Bush was the Prince of Darkness as far as liberals were concerned because of his America First attitude and they longed for someone who would conduct foreign policy in a different way, the right way, the liberal way.

Enter Barack Obama, the answer to a socialist's prayer. He promised repeatedly and profusely during last year's campaign that he would break with George W. Bush's policies and handle our foreign affairs in a friendlier, more collaborative way, to negotiate directly with the Iranians over their nuclear program, to assure the Muslim world that the United States was not at war with them, to make nice with the Russians and the Chinese and the Cubans and the Palestinians and anyone else who hates us so they won't hate us anymore, and lead us into a brighter, friendlier, more peaceful future. Let's see how he's done so far:

• His first major press interview was given to Al Arabiya television on 26 January in an effort to reach out to Muslims. Since that interview, 273 American servicemen have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan fighting Muslim extremists.

• At the Summit of the Americas in April, he was punked by Hugo Chavez.

• North Korea successfully tested a nuclear weapon on 25 May (Memorial Day), test-fired seven missiles on the Fourth of July and took two American journalists - both employees of Al Gore - hostage after they tried to sneak into the country, and demanded a personal visit by a high-profile American politician to release them. After criticizing George W. Bush's handling of North Korea during the Presidential campaign, Obama gave the pot-bellied syphilitic dog eater what he wanted and gave Kim Jong-Il a photo op with Bill Clinton.

• After personally appealing to Aleksandr Medvedev and Vladimir Putin, they refused to support further UN sanctions against Iran to stop their nuclear program. However, Obama did agree to cancel installation of missile defense radars in Poland and the Czech Republic, two of our NATO allies.

• A personal appeal to the Chinese Communists during his recent trip to Asia to support additional sanctions against Iran and to allow their own people greater freedom was ignored. His "town hall meeting" was broadcast into an electronic blind alley. However, the Chinese allowed Obama to walk the Great Wall for a photo op - alone. of course.

• Also during his Asia trip, Obama bowed to Emperor Akihito of Japan. This was a follow-up to his actions during the G20 Conference in London last April when he bowed deeply to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. To my knowledge, no foreign head of state has reciprocated.

It would seem, then, that Obama's approach to foreign policy has not advanced American interests one whit but has allowed hostile powers to advance theirs, which is why he was validated with the Nobel Peace Prize in October. You see, Barack Obama represents the America of a liberal's dream, a weak, servile, diffident oaf of a country, insecure, ineffective and desperate for the world's approval. He is ready to sacrifice his own citizens' best interests and is eager to please, qualities that may be repugnant to the average American but highly prized among the effeminate, socialist elite. Can you imagine George Washington or Andrew Jackson bowing to the monarch they defeated, George III? How about Theodore Roosevelt kissing the hand of the King of Spain? Or Ronald Reagan paying homage at Lenin's Tomb? Don't think so? Well, neither do I. The President of the United States leads the world's greatest nation and should acquit himself as such, bowing to no-one but Christ Himself. Obama's foreign policy insults the American people and invites the very disrespect and tension he claims to want to prevent, and it can also invite disaster, for as Jimmy Carter lost us the Panama Canal and gave us Soviet adventurism in Afghanistan and Nicaragua, and Desert One and 444 days of American hostages in Iran, and as Bill Clinton brought us successive failures in Somalia, Bosnia, Rwanda and Haiti, and - failure par excellence - Jimmy Carter giving nuclear reactors to North Korea, the Priest-King's fumbling has gained only contempt for America abroad and a nation that holds us in contempt will make dangerous decisions like invading Taiwan, launching missiles at Hawaii, attacking Israel, sending twenty million illegal immigrants across our borders or, God forbid, giving nuclear weapons to Al Qaeda.

Projecting weakness is a stupid and irresponsible strategy that has failed more times than we can count. If the Priest-King needs corroboration, have him ask Neville Chamberlain.

This Man Is A Muslim Terrorist Who Murdered Thirteen People

Uniform Code of Military Justice, Article 118: Any person subject to this chapter who, without justification or excuse, unlawfully kills a human being, when he— (1) has a premeditated design to kill; (2) intends to kill or inflict great bodily harm; (3) is engaged in an act which is inherently dangerous to another and evinces a wanton disregard of human life; or (4) is engaged in the perpetration or attempted perpetration of burglary, sodomy, rape, robbery, or aggravated arson;
is guilty of murder, and shall suffer such punishment as a court-martial may direct, except that if found guilty under clause (1) or (4), he shall suffer death or imprisonment for life as a court-martial may direct.

Last Thursday, 05 November 2009, MAJ Nidal Malik Hasan walked into the Soldier Readiness Center on Fort Hood, Texas, shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" at the top of his lungs and began firing, killing thirteen soldiers and wounding 31 others before he himself was shot by a brave civilian police officer, Kim Munley, who was herself wounded while trying to stop him. If not for her brave actions, MAJ Hasan would have continued killing his fellow soldiers until he ran out of ammunition and God knows how many that might have been.

This was a terrorist attack and MAJ Hasan is the terrorist who perpetrated it. It's that simple, and no amount of politically-correct hand wringing on the part of the Priest-King or his subordinates can change it. Here we have an active-duty commissioned officer who perpetrated an act of jihad against the United States, murdering the very soldiers he was sworn to lead, a betrayal of the highest order and one which must be strictly punished. If it is to have any meaning at all, MAJ Hasan must be held to account by the same Uniform Code of Military Justice under which all service members are subject, tried, sentenced and hanged like any other
murderer. To do otherwise is to strip it of its force, betray everyone wearing the uniform, undermine discipline and confidence in the chain of command and acknowledge that placating the very people who have been attacking us is more important than executing justice.

What else are we to believe? In remarks last Friday in the Rose Garden, the Priest-King stated blandly that, "We don't know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts," by which he meant, the fact that MAJ Hasan was a Muslim who had repeatedly contacted a rabidly pro-terrorist mullah in Yemen, who had repeatedly tried to contact Al Qaeda, who had railed against US policy in the Middle East to his superiors and advocated conscientious objector status for every Muslim in the US military and then shot 44 people does not mean he is a terrorist, which is just patently absurd. The Priest-King was then followed on Sunday by GEN George Casey, the Army Chief of Staff, who stated, "Speculation could potentially heighten backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers," and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who opined, "This was an individual who does not represent the Muslim faith," which statements again are plainly idiotic but which were intended to soften the hurt feelings of the people who yearn for our destruction, which apparently is the highest calling of this embarrassment of an Administration.

...and they seemed to be working in at least one respect. According to Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council for American-Islamic relations (CAIR), a Muslim advocacy group frequently critical of US policy - the policy of defending ourselves against bloodthirsty Islamic thugs - the muted reaction to MAJ Hasan's bloody rampage "...shows our society has matured in how it responds to these incidents." Wow, that's great. We've been attacked so frequently by Muslim terrorists that our leaders don't retaliate any more, which terrifies the living hell out of me but which gives great comfort to Mr. Hooper and his America-hating ilk.

The best and most effective tonic for this situation, to achieve justice for the victims of Fort Hood and send a clear and unmistakable message to other pro-jihadist sympathizers in the military, is the direct route: Death. MAJ Hasan violated his oath as an officer, he murdered thirteen fellow soldiers and tried to kill 31 more and he did so in furtherance of global Islamic jihad, whether in concert with Al Qaeda or not. He has proven himself an enemy of the United States, he has set his face against us and thus he deserves the same fate as other traitors from the past: Six feet of Texas soil and as much rope as it takes to hang him.

This Is What He Fought For?

Mark Saturday, 07 November 2009, folks. Mark it in red on your calendar and anywhere else where you'll remember it, because it's one of those dates that will stand in the annals of infamy. Yesterday was the day that the liberals who currently control the levers of government in this country decided to give the finger to America, to trade the promise of prosperity for the certainty of failure, to swap their freedom and ours for the swamp of mediocrity, and we don't know if it can be undone.

The vote was 220-215 to pass HR 3962, the 1990-page, $1.2 trillion monstrosity that, if passed by the Senate and signed by the Priest-King, will grant the Federal government unmitigated control over the country's health care system from top to bottom. That the vote was so close - the Democrats hold a 258-177 majority in the House - tells us several things about the current state of affairs. First, there is a very real wave of anger growing in this country over how the Democrats are governing. The TEA parties last Spring, the bitter town hall meetings of August and September and the protest at the Capitol last Thursday are indicators of that anger. Ordinary people are furious that their government is hell-bent on taxing, spending and regulating them into Third World status and the more conservative Democrats in the House are feeling it. Despite a personal visit by the Priest-King to the Capitol yesterday morning and a hurried speech at the White House yesterday afternoon, 39 House Democrats nonetheless opposed the bill. Second, it illustrates how tenuous the liberals' grip really is, that with months of lobbying by President Obama preceded by years of lobbying by such boobs as John Dingell and Ted Kennedy, with large majorities in the House and Senate, the measure only passed by two votes. Third, it provides a valuable insight into the liberals' real motives. In the teeth of such vehement public opposition as I mentioned above, despite unemployment remaining the voters' number-one concern (the Labor Department announced on Friday that the nation lost another 190,000 jobs in October, bringing the total lost under the Obama Administration to 5.7 million), despite getting a clear signal from the citizens by losing the governorships in New Jersey and Virginia last Tuesday, the Democrats decided nonetheless to push ahead with health care reform. They did this because health care reform and check-card voting and global warming and gays in the military are only milestones on the way to their true objective, which is the transformation of the United States into a true socialist state.

The American people were handed the checks for the $160 billion stimulus package and the $700 billion TARP package under President Bush, and have been handed the checks for the $850 billion stimulus package, the $1 trillion bank bailout bill and a $3.5 trillion FY2010 Federal budget under President Obama, to what result? Unemployment continues to climb as I said - 10.2% now - proving that simply spending huge amounts of money doesn't solve that problem. But spending huge amounts of money, including seizing the nation's health care system, redistributes wealth from those who have earned it to those who haven't. Since the Federal government has already taken over the investment banking industry (Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs, etc.), the insurance industry (AIG), the home mortgage industry (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac), and the automobile industry (except for Ford, who refused bailout money and actually turned a $1 billion profit in 3Q2009), and already provides entitlements through Social Security, Medicare, prescription drugs and Medicaid, it stands to reason that the liberals would want control over health care in toto. They want control over our medical records, our diet, how much exercise we get, which doctor we see, where we see him or if we see one at all, what we serve our children for dinner and how much TV they watch, which drugs we can have and how much they'll cost, how long we can live ("end of life options") and whether we live at all (taxpayer-funded abortions) and through this control, create an American proletariat, a classless society in which everyone -except the libs at the very top, the Politburo, if you will - lives the same, hopeless, miserable life. Barney Frank said as much during an appearance on MSNBC on the 26th, saying, "We are trying on every front to increase the role of government." Wake up, folks, this is what we're facing.

Let's look at just two provisions in HR 3962. First, there would be an age limit placed on insurance premiums such that someone 64 years old could not be charged more than twice the premium of an 18 year-old. Sounds great if you're a senior citizen, right? But since seniors consume about five times as much in health care costs, the money to pay for that would have to come from the 18 year-old, who would see his health insurance premiums skyrocket. Second, families earning up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Line (FPL) would receive taxpayer-funded subsidies to purchase health insurance through a new federally-regulated "health exchange," while families at 300% of FPL who buy their health insurance through their employer would receive no assistance at all, the effect being to punish people who refuse to go with the government plan. Again, these are just two of the measures by which the liberals will assert totalitarian control over our lives if they have their way.

There is still a fight to be fought in the Senate and lots of opportunities to stop this insanity before it's too late. Seeing Nancy Pelosi cheerfully, even gleefully announcing the surrender of our liberty should stir us to action, but seeing her do so in front of the man who fought so hard and sacrificed so much to get it enfuriates me. My fellow patriots, STAND UP AND TAKE BACK YOUR COUNTRY BEFORE THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO SAVE!
