Where Is America?

Berlin: Preaching A New World OrderMy grandfather came to America from Germany by way of Italy in the early part of the twentieth century. Of all the noteworthy accomplishments in his life, the one which gave him the greatest pride was becoming an American. I came across his citizenship papers a few years ago while cleaning out my parents’ attic and suddenly found myself swallowing an apple the size of Texas, as I recalled how his eyes would well with tears whenever he spoke of himself and America in the same sentence. Being American was the most important thing in his life, and having known several naturalized citizens through the years, I can say with some authority that a lot of good people shared his intense feeling.

Where does a charlatan like Barack Hussein Obama, who is running for the highest office in the land, derive the right to virtually renounce his American citizenship in favor of being “a citizen of the world” and not be penalized severely for it? Have his anti America, blame America, hate America feelings lowered him to this level of rhetoric? Is this the kind of Socialistic, New World Order protagonist our country needs in charge during a global war and tough economic times?

Citizen of the WorldHis Berlin speech was supposed to be rousing and inspirational. It was…if you’re a former hippie or hippie wanna’ be like Obama. It was, however, mostly frightening, for as he described a world that sounded more like John Lennon’s utopian “Imagine” or spoke of equality among nations, I was reminded of another motivational speaker with the ability to play a crowd like stringed instrument. Even if this minstrel has no act without monitors from which to read his carefully crafted beliefs, it’s an especially frightening image when you stand such a vocal musician in front of a crowd of cheering, slogan-shouting Germans!

And where was our flag? During this speech and throughout many appearances on Obama’s photo-op fantasy, the American flag was conspicuously absent. In fact, the flag was intentionally missing by his own directive. There were U.S. flags in the crowd but none on stage. Many in the Liberal media tried to compare his Berlin engagement to speeches given by J.F.K and Ronald Reagan. Besides the obvious futility in trying to compare homemade rotgut with sparkling champagne, it seems to me our presidents who spoke on that spot praised America and proudly talked of her many accomplishments. They did not apologize for imagined mistakes and certainly not for our greatness as a world power, as did the Democrats’ presidential pretender. The show the world witnessed was more reminiscent of crowds and speeches I’ve seen in films of Germany during the 1930s. Is Obama proposing that same sort of New World Order…is globalization his idea of change? Is he campaigning for something more than merely President of the United States?

We have a few generations of young people about to vote that know only revisionist history from sadly rewritten texts; others who know only personal agendas Marxist-Socialist professors have drummed into their heads; still others who know nothing of history because of a profound disinterest in anything that happened in this world before they got here. The shenanigans we are witnessing will probably play well with them. I doubt that patriotic Americans will fall for Obama’s reconstituted drivel.

As our nation reaches a pivotal crossroads in this first decade of the 21st Century, we can only hope that reasonable, thinking people still make up the majority of our citizens and that hard lessons of the past will, in fact, be remembered after all.

Gerplatz Nerfloy Reblepnish

Barry Obama has been saying we should all be able to speak a second language. As if to prove his point, even as I write, the chosen one is mumbling his way across the Middle East and Europe speaking fluent Gibberish. He speaks it better than our ’spoof candidate’ Murray! Dumb as a doorknob? I wonder how many parents won’t be sending their kids to Columbia, or may take a second look at Yale Law instead of Harvard, after hearing this guy try to make a sentence without a script. When he isn’t stuck in an “a-a-a um-m-m a-a-a uh-h-h” loop, he’s making profound statements like, “Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s.” or “It’s always a bad practice to say always…or never”. Some of these pearls are even better than his claim of visiting 57 states or that he expects to be president for 8 to 10 years!

Remember Vice President Dan Quayle? The press picked on him relentlessly for misspeaking occasionally. Well, his salvation is at hand because there’s a new kid in town; Barry-O makes Dan Quayle sound like Winston Churchill! Where Quayle committed an occasional gaffe, our boy Barry is good for about one every minute…and that’s when he isn’t ‘gulping and um-ming’ his way toward the next word!

Worried about America’s image in the world? This buffoon strutting across the continent, has to be a P.R. man’s nightmare and the answer to a terrorist’s dream [even better than 73 virgins]. Thugs like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his band of merry men must be delirious with laughter knowing there’s a chance this golden goose may someday be theirs for the plucking. No wonder his handlers are keeping The Candidate away from press conferences, interviews and town meetings.

Worse than his inability to think on his feet, or in any other position without cue-cards, is Obama’s lack of willingness to learn from reality. A case in point is the statement that he still would not have supported the troop surge, even with the knowledge that it worked. He is still talking about withdrawing prematurely from Iraq and snatching glorious defeat from the terrible jaws of victory.

What has been accomplished on his glorified photo-op? Absolutely nothing, except a gross expenditure of taxpayer dollars. Of course, now that he’s in Europe, The Savior is being welcomed with open arms by the far left Marxist, anti-war crowds that inhabit that portion of the globe. Fortunately, more tele-prompters inhabit that portion of the world as well. Finding his voice in Berlin where Barry followed on the heels of two major rock bands, he attempted to anoint the crowd with a Reagan/Kennedy style speech at the wall. The only problem is, unlike Reagan he has never accomplished anything of historical note and he “ain’t no Jack Kennedy“.

The lib media is desperately trying to carry him across the finish line but he’s not making it easy for them. What’s becoming clearer each day is that the man is so far over his head, he needs a fifty foot ladder just to reach the height of a deer in the headlights.

From the beginning, I viewed Barack Hussein Obama as nothing but a snake oil salesman; a clever con-man. America has been duped! What keeps me awake at night is my fear that people want to be duped right now, for some inexplicable reason, whether in English or Gibberish.

Beginning about a year ago I wrote a number of posts addressing his foot-in-mouth disease, even when many of the mindless found eloquence in his empty rhetoric. Even so, I had no idea that he had room for both feet and several fingers in there all at the same time! But don’t take my word for it. Let’s let Barry speak for himself. Oh! That’s right…he can’t!

Unfunny Joke

New Yorker Obama CoverMy head is beginning to hurt from trying to figure out why people are so easily offended these days. Have they truly lost their sense of humor or is some of the humor too close to fact to be funny? Take for example the current cover of New Yorker Magazine showing the Obamas ‘chilling out’ in the Oval Office and sporting some of their favorite affectations.

In response to all of the politically polite shock expressed in campaign and journalistic circles [including Al Jazeera], the magazine explained that its cover was intended to spoof the absurdity of several rumors which have been circulating about Barry and Mish. They said the story inside demonstrated that, and as a traditionally Left Wing publication there would seem to be no reason for anyone to doubt their explanation. However, there are a few flies the tabloid may have overlooked in the ointment:

  1. A lot of people will see the cover, take it at face value, and never venture inside to read the article.
  2. Not all of the alleged rumors have been disproven to the satisfaction of a great many people.
  3. Based upon statements from the Obamas themselves, a number of pictured elements have their roots in more than just rumor.

Take, for example, the fact that Barry had, not one, but two Muslim fathers. While on one hand he may not now be a practicing Muslim, the influence clearly was there during his most formative years. On the other hand, given his long term associations with The Wrong Reverend Wright et al, it’s difficult to make the case that he fits the average person’s definition of a practicing Christian either. So much for his attire and the portrait of Bin Laden on the wall.

As for ‘the little woman’? Her statements and writings about “white oppressors” and generally anti-White attitudes only place her a notch or two above many of the 60’s and 70’s unrepentant radicals, at least two of which both Obamas still befriend (Farrakhan and Ayers, just in case you’ve been living in a bubble). Coupled with hateful, anti-American statements on both their parts, not only is her attire explained but so is the American flag simmering in the fireplace. I’m not even considering the flag pin or pledge of allegiance flaps that caused so much stir.  Wouldn’t they just love to have us forget a few of those little campaign wrinkles!

I simply don’t remember a candidate for any high office, let alone President of The United States, having to defend his patriotism and even give speeches trying to make people comfortable with it; not anyone, not ever! So you see, I really don’t find the New Yorker cartoon very funny and certainly not offensive. By the way, where was all the outrage when those terrible ‘Aunt Jemima’ cartoons degrading Condoleezza Rice were published?

I think the hype promoting Barack ‘Jesus’ Obama as the second coming of the Messiah has blinded so many brain-numbed disciples that even a major magazine got trapped into believing its own mule muffins. That’s been the undoing of many a salesman. And after all, what has the mainstream media become but a horde of drooling salesmen preaching and packaging the new religion; a religion that promises a holy communion of radical change…as we morph from the land of freedom and prosperity into the Obamanation.

The Republican Song

Florida Political BillboardThere’s one concerned American in Florida who has been spending his own money on billboards and music to voice his opinion about the upcoming November election. Mike Meehan, a businessman in the Orlando area, has created quite a stir in Democrat circles where they say his efforts are tasteless. Personally, I think his efforts taste just fine.

I haven’t seen many traditional media outlets giving much play to Mike’s advertising or his song, so as a community service RSF America is providing links to both the song and the video for your listening and dancing pleasure. Here are the words so you can serenade your Liberal friends with “Please Don’t Vote For A Democrat” when they stop by:

Lyrics
The Democrat secular progressive move,
political correctness is killing us too.
They want to take the money from the hard workin’ man,
and give it to the lazy folks that don’t give a damn.

Chorus
Democrats and Liberals, shame on you,
don’t punish us all just to please a few,
Your holdin’ people back while we’re pickin’ up the slack,
and that’s why we can’t vote for a Democrat.
Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, no…
Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, nooo…
Yeah, you’re holding people back, while we’re pickin’ up the tax,
Oh no, no please don’t vote for a Democrat.

Lyrics
Now we’re trying to win a war and wipe out the terrorists,
We’re not fightin’ for oil we got plenty if we drill it.
But the liberals and the media are spreading their lies,
Get the hell out of our way and let our soldiers fight.

Chorus
Democrats and Liberals shame on you,
don’t punish us all just to please a few.
No we can’t afford to have another attack,
and that’s why we can’t vote for a Democrat.
Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no ,no…
Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, no..
No we can’t afford to have another attack,
Oh no, please don’t vote for a Democrat.

Lyrics
Republicans, we’re not perfect but we know the truth
We uphold the Constitution and the Golden Rule.
We believe a man’s freedom is a God given right,
the USA is the beacon to the whole world in sight.

Chorus
Democrats and Liberals shame on you,
don’t punish us all just to please a few.
our Constitution, Nation and God are under attack,
and that’s why we can’t vote for a Democrat.
Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no…
oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no…
Our Constitution, Nation and God are under attack,
Oh no, please, oh no please, don’t vote for a Democrat.

Our Constitution, Nation and God are under attack,
Oh no, please, oh no please, don’t vote for a Democrat.

Hot damn!!!

I find it fascinating, yet predictable, that a radical like Michael Moore was acclaimed for the pack of lies and distortions he called a movie or Al Gore won awards for his cinematic fabrications about climate change; yet when a right-minded patriot tries to color a little outside the lines, the Left and a few limp-wristed Republicans go nuts. Mike’s song writing may leave something to be desired but his lyrics appear to be a little too on target for some Liberals. I guess when you strike a nerve…

By the way, anybody notice a touch of Hank Williams, Jr. in his style?

Let Our Oil Go!

Assume The Position ButtonDo you like pulling up to the pump and paying a higher price each time because of foreign oil or do you gnash you teeth as you empty your wallet into your gas tank? Liberals blame ‘big oil’ for excessive prices because of excessive profits, despite the fact that government makes three times as much as the oil companies on every gallon without providing one ounce of product or service. Obama wants an additional gas tax to discourage us from driving, completely out of touch with the fact that people in most areas of the country must drive.

The Left is like a failing business that wants to cut back instead of seeking more sales. How about increasing supply instead of trying to reduce demand? How about drilling for oil here at home, where it’s plentiful, cheaper and under our own control?

Right now Nancy Pelosi, our illustrious ‘Madam’ of The House, is holding President Bush’s drilling proposal hostage. It lifts the executive ban on offshore drilling and initiates movement toward meaningful relief from soaring energy prices. She won’t forward it to Congress because more that 30 courageous Democrats are ready to cross the aisle and pass it. In the meantime, while they’re quick to criticize, the rest of the Dems have no plan whatsoever for putting one drop of gasoline in our tanks…not now, not later. Call Ol’ Nance today and tell her to “Let our oil go.”

Nancy Pelosi’s phone number is 202-225-0100.

With cheerleaders like this running the show, it’s no wonder Congress only has an 18% approval rating. She wants power? Let’s show her power…people power! I think we’ve carried this ‘green’ crap just about far enough, don’t you? Drill!

R.S.F.

P.S. - Sitting on the lowest approval rating Congress has achieved in over 30 years and one of the lowest in history, House Madam Pelosi in an interview just called President Bush “a total failure“. Fortunately, his failed policies have kept Ol’ Nance both safe enough and prosperous enough to be able to make statements like that. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! If she were in any number of other countries, instead of making outrageous remarks like that, she’d have to keep her face covered. Say…there’s an idea!

Koran Kate

Marine Caskets At DoverA friend forwarded the following e-mail to me, purportedly from a New Jersey housewife. You can feel the flames belch from her nostrils and smell acrid smoke billowing from her ears. With good reason, too…she’s mad! Personally, I think she has caught the sentiment of most Americans, except for the far Left kooks and Liberal bleeding hearts who wallow in some kind of stupid guilt about living in the greatest, most prosperous country on the face of the Earth.

It’s one of those documents that is ‘making the rounds’ and heaven only knows who actually penned it; whoever it was didn’t exactly capture Thomas Jefferson’s style. It is, however, to the point and worth a read. Just in case it hasn’t made it to your in-box yet, I’ll shortcut the e-mail system by sharing it with you here. Naturally, the letter is unsigned so we’ll just call our budding Internet scribe “Koran Kate”.

Are we fighting a war on terror or aren’t we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001?

Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation’s capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn’t they?

And I’m supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was ‘desecrated’ when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?…Well, I don’t. I don’t care at all.

I’ll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.

I’ll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia

I’ll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg’s head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I’ll care when the cowardly so-called ‘insurgents’ in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.

I’ll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide.

I’ll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution’s Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don’t care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don’t care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don’t care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed ’special’ food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being ‘mishandled,’ you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don’t care.

And oh, by the way, I’ve noticed that sometimes it’s spelled ‘Koran’ and other times ‘Quran.’ Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don’t care!!

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it’ll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!

If you don’t agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don’t complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:

‘Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don’t have that problem’ — Ronald Reagan

I have another quote that I would like to add AND…….I hope you forward all this.

‘If we ever forget that we’re One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under’ Also by.. Ronald Reagan

One last thought for the day:

In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England ’s Prime Minister Tony Blair’s words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said: ‘A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in.. And how many want out.’

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ

2. The American G. I.

One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

You might want to pass this on, as many seem to forget them both. Amen! “

You know what? We can howl about gas prices, cry about health care and whine about the silly-but-expensive Global Warming Hoax…but if we don’t prevail in the Global War On Terror, none of it will matter. Amen!
