Josh Gerstein over at Politico sent Threat Level his piece underscoring once again President Barack Obama is not the civil-liberties knight in shining armor many were expecting.
Gerstein posts a televised interview of Obama and John Walsh of America's Most Wanted. The nation's chief executive extols the virtues of mandatory DNA testing of Americans upon arrest, even absent charges or a conviction. Obama said, "It's the right thing to do" to "tighten the grip around folks" who commit crime.
Obamaganda: Another School Sings Praises to Dear Leader
March 11, 2010 |
-By Warner Todd Huston
It's a veritable cornucopia of Obamagandistic musical agitprop. You'll recall the militaristic, fascist-styled Obama youth corps from 2008 where a line of inner city youth stamped out their obeisance militia-like to The One like good little automatons? Perhaps the slickly produced exploitation of sweet faced children from Hollywood that same year will ring a bell? Or maybe your favorite is this misuse of class time in Georgia? Or per chance you'll recall "Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm"? These are excellent examples of the Obama version of Leni Riefenstahl's art.
But those? Well, those are all low class affairs done without an entire orchestra to back them up.
Now we have the brilliance of School children in Illinois, Comrade Obama's home turf, to add to the din of young musicians enslaved to efforts to exalt Dear Leader. And this tops them all in production values -- or at least in scope -- for the Midwest Young Artists organization, a group dedicated to "inspiration through music," has taken upon itself to give the Obammessiah the full orchestral treatment along with a choir and a spoken word segment to round out the production. Uncle Joe couldn't have created a better display of fealty to Dear Leader. Kim Jong Il is likely red with envy.

Obama Recruiting Radicals in High Schools
Barack Obama is using our public school system to recruit for his Alinsky-inspired private army. Organizing for America (OFA), formerly Obama For America, is recruiting in our high schools to "build on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda" - that is, his agenda of socialism for the United States of America.

While we are supposed to feel sorry for our poor El Presidente for having to postpone his trip to Indonesia, do keep in mind two things:
While this is undoubtedly being paid for as a political trip, it was timed to correspond to two First Girls' spring break, and Obama himself said he wanted to show his daughters the land he grew up in as a little boy (and where he attended an Islamic school).
While Indonesians erected a statue of Obama when he rose to the White house, they have lately been considering removing it in response to demands from a large segment of resentful Indonesians. If the statue is still standing, Obama plans to lay a wreath at his own bronze feet, which would certainly be an unprecedented (White House favorite word) gesture of self-love and iconic photo op. But alas, the Indonesians are just not keen on Obama anymore, even interrupting their ongoing rioting to protest the Boy Wonder's visit.
Looking forward to Easter: Pressure to attend church? I think everyone has given up expecting any more Christian pretense from the Big O. Instead, because the traditional Easter Egg Roll (I'm rather amazed that they still call it an Easter Egg Roll) isn't hip enough for the King of Unprecedentedness, your tax dollars will be used to transport the cast of Glee to the White House to enhance the event.
Though their parents have insisted that they don't allow their daughters to watch TV on school nights, and despite the weekly portrayal of some distinctly adult situations, Glee is reputed to be Melia and Sasha's favorite show
So why shouldn't the taxpayers be happy to fund their personal visit? So why not?

He also held a fundraiser with local liberals including his puppet senator, Claire McCaskill.
His arrival did not go unnoticed. 2,225 patriots turned out in St. Charles in the morning to rally against his socialist policies. Another 2,000 patriots turned out that night to protest outside of his fundraiser including this grandmother.

She sat in her wheelchair and waved her "Don't Tread on Me" flag. She came to the protest with her three daughters. She put tape over her mouth to represent that her concerns do not matter in Washington DC. She was at the rally outside the Obama-McCaskill fundraiser for two hours before it got dark and she went home. She just wanted to show her support.
She loves her country and she loves her freedom.

"One Nation Under God."This simple phrase, added to the pledge of allegiance over 50 years ago has been the source of unbelievable debate and heated controversy. Likewise, the phrase 'In God We Trust' on our currency has been targeted and continues to be attacked as improper and politically incorrect. Lawsuits have been filed and legal minds employed to ascertain whether such statements violate the concept of 'separation of church and state'.
As this debate continues, some so called experts have implied or concluded that our Founding Fathers and Patriots were not religious. These secular champions, in an effort to further their own causes, have even painted these great men and women from our history as being devoid of religious passions or even a belief in God. This is a part of their strategy to remove any discussion of God from the public forum.
These men and women were passionately religious and saw the hand of God all around them. To God they gave Thanks for His Hand in the founding of this great nation. To Him, according to their own testimony they turned for wisdom and strength when life and liberty hung in the balance. Certainly the debate on separation of church and state will continue. But no one can dispute how our Founding Fathers and Patriots felt about God. The record is clear!
'One Nation Under God' is Jon McNaughton's witness and reminder that those who went before us knew from whence their blessings came!

An email from Dorothy:
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.]]>Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions.
One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost.
He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. He cried out, "God! How could you do this to me?" Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island!
It had come to rescue him! "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
Moral of the Story:
It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad or things have caused undue stress, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of our pain, suffering, or stress. Remember that the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground, it just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God.
Good luck this week. Make it a great one!

Talk about Propaganda Press!!!!
Headlined As Health Vote Awaits, Future of a Presidency Waits, Too, it is the sad New York Times narrative of a poor president who worked so hard on health care only to face rejection on all sides.
I guess this is supposed to evoke feelings of Jesus on Calvary? Are we supposed to feel sorry for Our Glorious Leader who has squandered an incredible opportunity to create racial harmony and instead fomented a class war of those dependent on government (salaries, welfare checks, food stamps, extended unemployment, government subsidized cars and houses) and the poor schmucks working in the private sector who have to pay for it all?
He has stirred up envy and bitterness everywhere he went. Lived high on the hog, with private entertainment, lavish parties, expensive vacations and date nights galore - all while scolding those paying his bills to tighten our belts.
Claiming to be open to other ideas, he has invited the opposition to photo ops, then treated them with contempt. He has bullied and bribed Democrats who didn't agree with him - even called one congressman in for a little one-on-one, giving his brother a judgeship hours later,
Corrupt. Self-indulgent. Narcissistic. Relentless. Ruthless.
These are not the qualities associated with the cross.
Heaven help us! The American people made a mistake from which we may never recover.

]]>Mark Steyn: Obamacare worth the price to Democrats
March 5, 2010
So there was President Obama, giving his bazillionth speech on health care, droning yet again that "now is the hour when we must seize the moment," the same moment he's been seizing every day of the week for the past year, only this time his genius photo-op guys thought it would look good to have him surrounded by men in white coats.Why is he doing this? Why let "health" "care" "reform" stagger on like the rotting husk in a low-grade creature feature who refuses to stay dead no matter how many stakes you pound through his chest?
Because it's worth it. Big time. I've been saying in this space for two years that the governmentalization of health care is the fastest way to a permanent left-of-center political culture. It redefines the relationship between the citizen and the state in fundamental ways that make limited government all but impossible. In most of the rest of the Western world, there are still nominally "conservative" parties, and they even win elections occasionally, but not to any great effect (Let's not forget that Jacques Chirac was, in French terms, a "conservative").The result is a kind of two-party one-party state: Right-of-center parties will once in a while be in office, but never in power, merely presiding over vast left-wing bureaucracies that cruise on regardless.
Republicans seem to have difficulty grasping this basic dynamic. Less than three months ago, they were stunned at the way the Democrats managed to get 60 senators to vote for the health bill. Then Scott Brown took them back down to 59, and Republicans were again stunned to find the Dems talking about ramming this thing into law through the parliamentary device of "reconciliation." And, when polls showed an ever larger number of Americans ever more opposed to Obamacare (by margins approaching three-to-one), Republicans were further stunned to discover that, in order to advance "reconciliation," Democrat reconsiglieres had apparently been offering (illegally) various cosy Big Government sinecures to swing-state congressmen in order to induce them to climb into the cockpit for the kamikaze raid to push the bill through. The Democrats understand that politics is not just about Tuesday evenings every other November, but about everything else, too.

Born in Germany MARCH 14, 1879, he began teaching himself calculus at age 14.
With a doctorate from the University of Zurich, he wrote papers on electromagnetic energy, relativity, and statistical mechanics.
He predicted a ray of light from a distant star would appear to bend as it passed near the Sun.
When an eclipse confirmed this, the London Times headline ran November 7, 1919, "Revolution in science-New theory of the Universe-Newtonian ideas overthrown."
This was Nobel Prize winner Albert Einstein.
Einstein's first visit to the U.S. was to raise funds for Jerusalem's Hebrew University.
On his 3rd visit, 1932, he took a post at Princeton.
When Nazis took over Germany, Albert Einstein stayed in the U.S. becoming a citizen in 1940.
Einstein's theory of relativity is the basis for applying atomic energy.
Einstein's warning that Nazis could create an atom bomb led FDR to set up the Manhattan Project.
Though not believing in a personal God, The Saturday Evening Post, October 26, 1929, published an interview with George Sylvester Viereck, in which Einstein stated:
As a child, I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene...
No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.
Three years before Einstein died, he was asked to be Israel's 2nd President, but declined due to age.
The periodic table's 99th element, discovered shortly after his death in 1955, was named "einsteinium."
Princeton University's Fine Hall has inscribed Albert Einstein's words: "God is clever, but not dishonest."
