You know what ticks me off about Obama's speech today. He thinks that his charismatic way of speaking and proudly prounouncing the Quran in his speech a fricken millions times is gonnna win respect and its not. He makes the USA look stupid and week. I don't understand why he had to make Americans sound so evil and that all we've ever done is oppress Muslims for hundreds of years, when it is simply NOT TRUE. He didn't do anything to point out the things the US had done to help Muslims and just had to throw in excerpts of praise to the Muslims, while insulting the US and that's totally degrading as an American.

Oliver North on the 2009 Obama Apology Tour -

As the Grand Apology Tour swept into Saudi Arabia, the al Qaeda terror chieftain released yet another audio-taped diatribe, condemning “U.S. aggression” in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Though Mr. Obama’s carefully scripted “grand gesture” before a thoroughly screened audience in Cairo was simultaneously translated into a half-dozen tongues and broadcast around the world, it wasn’t enough to push the bin Laden commentary off Islamic websites. That’s because Mr. Bin Laden “gets it” and Mr. Obama doesn’t.

Osama bin Laden doesn’t make any apologies for who he is -- or the violence he advocates. He is a vicious religious extremist -- and is proud of the sanguinary carnage he has wrought -- against thousands of innocent Muslims, infidels in general, and Americans and Jews in particular. He knows his audience is but a tiny fraction of the world’s 1.4 billion Muslims -- and is well aware that if only one tenth of one percent become “Jihadis” – he will have succeeded. Mr. bin Laden doesn’t want to be liked. He wants to be feared.

Mr. Obama on the other hand, is desperate for affirmation --thus his repeated references to his “Muslim father” and “the Holy Koran” in an effort to “bond” with his Islamic audience. To demonstrate empathy with “our Arab allies” -- and show improvement from his predecessors -- he did not visit Israel -- and pointedly condemned Israeli settlements which, he said, “undermine efforts to achieve peace.” To further establish how “different” he is, Mr. Obama has become very deft at distorting the truth to serve his own ends.

"Obama Comes Out of the Closet on Islam"

by Gary Bauer

During the presidential campaign it became forbidden to draw any attention to candidate Obama’s Muslim heritage. Obama himself attacked any suggestion he had Muslim roots. Even GOP nominee John McCain publicly disavowed the use of Obama’s middle name, Hussein.

In the post-November 4 world, President Obama is emphasizing his Islamic heritage as if it were one of his greatest assets.

But President Obama cannot have it both ways. He cannot emphasize his Islamic roots when it suits him, and then label as beyond the pale those who mention his heritage when it might be a liability. Even more important, the American president must decide which role is more important to him, Apologist-in-Chief for the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims or Commander-in-Chief of the United States and advocate for American values abroad.

"Across Europe, Left-Leaning Parties See Clout Faltering"

Socialistic policies have been in place in Europe for quite some time now...& what do you know? They don't work, their nationalized 'healthcare' is a joke, & people are fed up...all the while, we are in the process of nationalizing things - the banks, formerly private owned companies, & of course, healthcare.

Hopefully it won't take Americans as long as it has the European voters to recognize the inability of a large federal government to run everything & provide everything for its citizens. I am sure there are a few sitting at home now, months after the November election, wondering why Obama hasn't solved their problems & improved their lives, and maybe, just maybe, it will dawn on them that they will have to get up & do this for themselves.

ITA!!!

As CA begins to realize that the wealthy cannot fully support both themselves & everyone else as well as fund state government, "California contemplates ultimate reform - no welfare"

And, Arnold has suggested a flat tax -
latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/06/flat-tax.html

What a novel idea...everyone pays 15% of what they earn in taxes. The wealthy still pay more (b/c 15% of $2 million is a lot more than 15% of say, $50,000) and of course, there will still be those who pay no taxes.

Pay attention to CA folks...it's our future. Going totally broke & then coming to grips with the reality that you cannot ask or expect a few to support everyone.

My son got a book this weekend fro his Grandma it was a bill O'rielly book Kids are Americans too! And he's actually rading it! Shocking! He never reads anything! I skimmed it It looks really Good! Bill O'rielly rocks! The dems really need to leave him alone!!

Can't wait for him to get out of office Impeachment would be nice, before he totally bankrupts us!! Our 4 fathers are probably rolling over in their graves!!

Hi Beverly and G E ,Annihilate is a 'good' choice for that type of people,no other way.
ok last night you see what Eve our Dems. statement about Death penalty,she change her mind after I ask her hypothetical question 'if that was ur loves one,could be ur mama,beloved child or husband ..anyone whom you love dearly in your family trap and burn to death inside the twin tower,would you want the people who did that to get death penalty ?'
she said yes of course ,well so why many of you usually said about cruelty,hate to defend the criminals and forget the victims ? because they are not related to you ?,IMO thats selfish,self righteous and hypocrite not to mention cruel too,this is happen too many times outthere.
Eve agree with that,I told her I agree to disagree but I also will give my strong opinion.
I know very well about 10 commandments,but every human beings fail to comply those and also many who disbelief.
there are exceptions of course,you are not quilty for killing in self defense and also by accidents..so many examples within this cases,which they will still receive punishment but not death penalty.
still,my opinion for people who torture and kills purposely deserve death penalty,excluded insanity.
some of our Dems friends agree with Death penalty and some of our Reps. not in favor,thats the fact.
sometimes Eve is too critical,probably she learn her lesson last night since she criticize Mikey about his grammar,pls thats too much ,he said just because you can put together fancy words does not prove if ur intelligent,ur just waittres Iam Physician assistant,I have college degree and ur job not require one,I speak more than 1 language and you dont and much more.
anyway I agree with each one of them ,this time Dems. and Reps. our friends agree about flat tax,IMO thats very fair for everyone,IF you think deeply about it because still people who made more money pay more also.
for example,ppl who make $100000/year,they will pay $20000 for 20% tax and if you only make $30000 you pay $6000.
I find that fair to me,and Iam not make much money either

AMA opposes Obama health care plan...

The A.M.A., with about 250,000 members, is America’s largest physician organization.

While committed to the goal of affordable health insurance for all, the association had said in a general statement of principles that health services should be “provided through private markets, as they are currently.” It is now reacting, for the first time, to specific legislative proposals being drafted by Congress.

...in comments submitted to the Senate Finance Committee, the American Medical Association said: “The A.M.A. does not believe that creating a public health insurance option for non-disabled individuals under age 65 is the best way to expand health insurance coverage and lower costs. The introduction of a new public plan threatens to restrict patient choice by driving out private insurers, which currently provide coverage for nearly 70 percent of Americans.”

If private insurers are pushed out of the market, the group said, “the corresponding surge in public plan participation would likely lead to an explosion of costs that would need to be absorbed by taxpayers.”
