obama web-tracking plan stirs privacy concerns

"Some privacy groups say the proposal amounts to a "massive" and unexplained shift in government policy. In a statement Monday, American Civil Liberties Union spokesman Michael Macleod-Ball said the move could "allow the mass collection of personal information of every user of a federal government website."

quote of the day.

"tyranny is a threat that loom over all societies, preventable only by the active vigilance of the people. the statist in america is no less resolute than his european counterpart but, by necessity, he is more cunning- where the european lurches and leaps, the american's steps are measured but steady. in america, the statist understands that his counterrevolution must at least appear gradual and not revolutionary- sometimes even clothed in the flag and patriotism- lest his intentions become too obvious and thus alarming to his skeptics...the statist must also rely on legions of academics to serve as his missionaries. after a short period of training and observation, academics receive a sinecure- a personal stake in the state via lifetime employment through a system of tenure. the classroom is turned into a propaganda mill, rather than a place for education, to shape the beliefs and attitudes of successive generations of malcontents and incubate the revolution against the civil society. academics help identify the enemies of the state, whom their students learn to distrust or even detest through distortion and repetition- corporations as polluters, the founding fathers as slave owners, the military as imperialist, etc."

-mark levin, liberty and tyranny: a conservative manifesto

straight talk on islam. brace yourself.

"Still, I would contend that Hezbollah and Al Qaeda are not as dangerous as America’s liberals. The Islamic terrorists can only kill so many people, but those on the Left are doing everything in their power to eviscerate America. Cap and Trade can destroy our industrial might; Obama’s trillion dollar stimulus programs combined with his delusional health care plan will not only bankrupt our nation, but lead inevitably to a rate of inflation that will impress even Jimmy Carter; and the budget cuts directed at our military and our missile defense system will make us increasingly vulnerable to our various enemies."

saving obama from himself: the machiavellian thing vs. the moral thing on healthcare

"Ronald Reagan once said that the closest we will ever get to eternal life on this planet is a government bureaucracy. He was right. And if you turn America's healthcare system into a single-payer government system, it would be extremely difficult to turn back. It would be like unscrambling eggs."

"Look, Democrats are out of control on this. Under Bush, dissent was the highest form of patriotism in America.

And now if you organize a community it's called a mob..."

defecit grew $181 billion...in the month of july!

"“To allow the deficit to hit these previously unthinkable levels – while still planning to implement massive new spending programs – shows an incredible lack of fiscal responsibility, especially toward the future generations who will be saddled with the consequences of today’s actions,” Gregg said."

california government hired 3,600 employees in 2009

why is everyone scaling back except the government? 

"In the 12 months that ended in June, the state enlisted 3,600 additional workers — a 0.7 percent gain, according to the state Employment Development Department. California’s private industry slashed about 760,000 jobs — a 6-percent loss — during the same period."

obama and corporate corruption

amazing. 

the public is resisting obama's liberal (radical) agenda

"Why does President Obama want to implement all at once radical changes in American foreign policy, environmental policy, education, health care and the tax code? The answer is easy: If he does not achieve these initiatives soon, he never will."

nobama resorting to rhetorical tricks and evasion

"There are no polling data or focus groups on earth that can help Mr. Obama out of this jam. He has set in motion events he appears unable to control and commitments he cannot keep. Great communicators succeed when the ideas they are communicating are sound. Tax-and-spend liberalism doesn’t work, no matter how pretty its package."

too much government: why obama may (and will) fail

"Normally government activity flows by like unnoticed sludge, but Obama's celebrity got everyone watching. What people have seen is: an $800 billion stimulus package designed by Congress, a $4 trillion budget, massive outlays by an alphabet soup of Treasury and Federal Reserve programs, Barney Frank the symbol of Democratic goals, and then the federal absorption of GM, an American icon. After all this, ObamaCare looks like a bridge too far. The harder the White House and Democrats push this idea, the worse it could get for them. Americans may have arrived at the limit of how much government they want or will pay for. If Barack Obama can't sell more of it, no one can."

mark levin's "liberty and tyranny" dominates best seller list in the year of nobama

it's currently gracing my bookshelf. 

"Over the past 19 weeks, Mark Levin’s “Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto” has never ranked lower than No. 3 on The New York Timesbest seller list—and it ranked No. 3 for only one of those weeks.  The book has been No. 1 on the list for 12 weeks, and No. 2 for six. Sean Hannity said, “To have these kinds of sales numbers and to be totally and utterly and completely ignored by the mainstream media--I mean it was, what, 13 weeks on the New York Times best seller list before the Philly Inquirer did a piece on it.”

TIME magazine exclusive: obama's golf game

the mainstream media at it's best. are you starting to see the painstakingly obvious media bias? forget the fact that we're fighting two wars around the world, that the economy is in the worst shape in a half century, and that were in the midst of the policy debate of the decade (healthcare). nope, the media wants to tell us about obama's crappy golf game. god bless america.

the obama resistance grows

article of the day:

"Barack, Nancy, Harry, Rahm, Barney, Waxman et al have been cattle-driving a legislative cramdown since the TARP bill passed in George Bush's final days. They mistook victory against a tepid Republican presidential candidate for a mandate to reconstitute the United States of America. Slow to awaken, her citizens now grow angrier. It's not the loss of land and lives they fear, but of FREEDOMS."

democrat voters fleeing on the obama-pelosi bandwagon

"As President Obama's approval rating continues to nosedive toward that of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one has to wonder: Who are these naysayers abandoning the dynamic duo of government-run everything?  While it's true that a majority of the discontented comes from the ranks of Republican and Independent voters, it is also true that many Democratic voters are parting ways with the Obama-Pelosi agenda on several fronts."

how many obama voters feel let down?

"Fiscal conservatives who bought the spiel that he’d go line by line through the budget have seen the most fiscally irresponsible president ever. After a $787B pork-filled stimulus, a supplemental spending measure with 9,000 earmarks, a $3.5 trillion budget, and a trillion dollar health care plan, Obama has managed to exceed the worst predictions of his critics."

polls show growing doubt about obama healthcare plans

"Obama's drive for healthcare reform, his top legislative priority, has been attacked on all sides for its $1 trillion cost and scope. Democrats have feuded over how to pay for it, and Obama's popularity has slipped as the debate dragged on. A Quinnipiac University poll on Wednesday found that 52 percent of voters disapprove of Obama's handling of healthcare while 39 percent approve. That was a shift from 46 percent approval against 42 percent disapproval in a July 1 survey."

incredible.

“I can only imagine the level of justifiable outrage had your predecessor asked Americans to forward emails critical of his policies to the White House. I suspect that you would have been leading the charge in condemning such a program -- and I would have been at your side denouncing such heavy-handed government action.”

quote of the day.

this couldn't be more relevant in 2009:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C. S. Lewis

a disturbing trend in u.s. wildlife

ben stein tidbit

i read this via an email and thought it was thought-provoking:

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Hurricane Katrina). Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response.  She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives.  And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out.  How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?' 

obama says we are no longer a christian nation.

what do you expect from someone who a) comes from the church of jeremiah wright and b) knows nothing about history? watch this video and then the response below by congressman randy forbes (r-va), whose speech has been viewed almost three million times on youtube. 

obama finds the perfect role for joe biden

"No doubt, Obama figured: It doesn't matter what he has to say, so long as he keeps talking long enough for the press to get its photo-op without Crowley tasing Gates or Gates flipping over the table to shout, "Do you know who I am?" Biden could just simply switch on his mouth's autopilot and jibber-jabber about Iraqi Kurds, socket wrenches, gay basset hounds, Social Security, World War II, World War II-and-a-Half, World War II-and-Three-Quarters and whatever else popped into his mind. Anything to eat up the time would do. This theory's appeal lies in that it's very hard to figure out what Joe Biden is doing in the Obama administration in the first place, especially since every time he lends the benefit of his experience and insight, the White House corrects him."

its just a matter of time before our taxes go up and obama breaks another promise.

"During the presidential campaign, candidate Obama was absolutely adamant about taxes. "If you make less than $250,000 a year, you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime," Obama said at a September 2008 rally. "In fact, I offer three times the tax relief for middle-class families as Senator McCain does, because in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class."

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/You-can-bet-on-it_-Obama-will-raise-your-taxes-8060649-52382632.html

quote of the day.

"The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false."

--Paul Johnson

...can somebody please give nobama a history lesson?

freedom vs. utopia

thomas sowell is too genius:

"Let’s go back to square one. The universe was not made to our specifications. Nor were human beings. So there is nothing surprising in the fact that we are dissatisfied with many things at many times. The big question is whether we are prepared to follow any politician who claims to be able to “solve” our “problem." If we are, then there will be a never ending series of “solutions,” each causing new problems calling for still more “solutions.” That way lies a never-ending quest, costing ever increasing amounts of taxpayers money and — more important — ever greater losses of your freedom to live your own life as you see fit, rather than as presumptuous elites dictate."

treasury secretary tim "tax cheat" geithner lashes out at regulators

"Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner blasted top regulators in an expletive-laden tirade amid frustration over President Barack Obama’s faltering plan to overhaul financial regulation. Mr. Obama in June unveiled a financial regulatory overhaul, sometimes called the biggest since the 1930s. Among other things, the plan would give the Fed added powers, award the government more power to break up troubled companies and create a new agency to oversee consumer finance."

do you realize that 100% of obama's agenda is expanding federal government power?

congressman to rahm emanuel: this isn't chicago

"Following reports that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has been orchestrating an effort to intimidate members of Congress and Governors who raise legitimate concerns regarding the effectiveness of the stimulus, House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) sent a letter to Emanuel saying “While this type of scare tactic may work In Chicago, it will not work to intimidate me or other Members of the United States Congress.”

the biggest hypocrite i've ever seen.

what more do you want? this man is a complete abomination. do you guys like when the president of the united states lies right to your face? i have heard nobama say in numerous press conferences that his plan isn't about a "government take over of healthcare" and that he doesn't support a single payer health care plan like the one in canada and england. how can anyone honestly trust this man and his intentions? i am absolutely convinced he is the biggest mistake to ever happen to america. (on a side note, i actually laughed when i heard nobama getting ovations for his government-run healthcare plan at this union event. what a bunch of DRONES. when will people stop drinking the obama kool aid?)

the non-stop selling of barack obama

article of the day:

"Since occupying the White House, Barack Obama has hosted fifteen town-hall meetings; appeared in more than 800 images on the White House Flickr photo-stream; and held four prime-time press conferences, the same number held by George W. Bush in his entire presidency. He’s sent a video message to the people of Iran. He’s given an address in Cairo that was translated into fourteen languages. He’s sat on Jay Leno’s couch, where he riffed about the supreme strangeness of having his own motorcade (“You know, we’ve got the ambulance and then the caboose and then the dogsled”), and he’s walked Brian Williams through the White House, where he introduced the anchor to Bo the dog. Two weeks ago, when he made a controversial comment at a press conference (that the Cambridge police had “acted stupidly” toward Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.), he followed up with yet another press appearance in the White House briefing room—and an exclusive interview on Nightline. And that was before he sat down for a well-publicized beer with Gates and the offending officer …"

democrat's blame game keeps backfiring

"That makes for a nice sound bite that appeals to the party's left wing but irritates most of America. And therein lies the Democrats' problem with getting more people to back their  health care effort.  When questioned on the merits of their proposal, they fall back on what makes them most comfortable-- appealing to the far left of their party.  But this comes at the expense of everyone else -- they have consistently ignored the legitimate questions of the vast majority of the population, preferring to duck the tough questions and instead to make others the bad guy."

stocks rally as prez ratings dive

"Of course, the rally began back in March when the president's poll numbers had virtually nowhere to go but down. Now, with a summer of discontent over health care reform and the state of the economy, President Barack Obama' s approval ratings are plunging fast -- in the low 50s in most polls -- and stock prices are surging."

a liberal translation.

that right there is senate majority leader harry "the war is lost" reid (d-nevada). i deliberated with myself to determine whether he or nancy pelosi was the worst elected official ever, but they both tied for second. the thought of obama, pelosi, and reid running this country actually blows my mind. i digress. 

harry reid recently stated, "It's true — we have passed more serious, substantive laws than any Congress since President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term."

liberal translation: the federal government in the year 2009 has expanded and taken more control of our lives and liberty since the year 1930. but dont you fret, polls show that harry reid will be toast in the 2010 election cycle. its about time. 

the future of our healthcare system if obama gets his wishes.

ENGLAND: "The Government's drug rationing watchdog says "therapeutic" injections of steroids, such as cortisone, which are used to reduce inflammation, should no longer be offered to patients suffering from persistent lower back pain when the cause is not known. Specialists fear tens of thousands of people, mainly the elderly and frail, will be left to suffer excruciating levels of pain or pay as much as £500 each for private treatment. The consequences of the NICE decision will be devastating for thousands of patients. It will mean more people on opiates, which are addictive, and kill 2,000 a year. It will mean more people having spinal surgery, which is incredibly risky, and has a 50 per cent failure rate."
