To read the headlines today one has to ask where did the adults go? I feel like I'm in that episode of Star Trek entitled Miri where Captain Kirk lands on a planet that is plagued by a virus which kills off all adults, leaving only children to run the society.
Kirk learns the virus was a failed attempt at prolonging life, allowing humans to age one month with every 365 days. However, once puberty is finally reached, the virus strikes, causing horrible blue sores to form prior to death.
Though many of the "children" Kirk finds are over 300 years old, their emotional and mental maturity is that of their physical maturity. The younger children are docile and compliant, believing everything the older children tell them, including that all adults "grups" are bad.
Each child, as they reach puberty, become violent, enraged and totally irrational meeting with a swift but agonizing demise. From what I see, many of the world's leaders have reached that pre-pubescent stage and boy, we're talking more than mood swings going on!
Currently the world's upper graders are telling the world's lower school what to think. They tell us they are smart but it becomes clearer and clearer that our leading tweens are in over their heads.
The Wikileaks debacle underscores this though really didn't reveal any surprises. Like all jealous adolescents with bad skin, Julian Assange thinks taking pot shots at the popular crowd will finally make him cool.
In reality, Assange's big news didn't match the hype, painting other student council presidents in less competent light than our own trainer-bra-wearing leaders but no doubt, this will make it much more difficult for America to be voted Homecoming Queen anytime soon.
Though the Wikileaks news has more entertainment value hence more headlines, the real outbreak of the Miri virus is most evident in the recent release of "Risky Business II" ie; IRELAND GONE WILD. Like a bunch of spoiled brats who were being told their Kardashian credit cards would be cut up in 2009 if they voted NO on the Lisbon Treaty, the entitlement teens of Erin sold their identity.
This act sealed their economic, political, and personal enslavement to the European Union. The Treaty was meant to insure. The truth is, FOR SURE, the Treaty is no CURE it's just more of the disease.
If only Captain Kirk had paid a visit to Ireland before they voted and explained to them the truth. Ah, but apparently he did, in the form of Nigel Farage... (WARNING, a bit lengthy but this discourse a year ago reveals who is peddling the lie and who sees through it.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC4Mn9Grs3w&NR=1&feature=fvwp
But Mr. Farage's mistake was being British and in Irish that's the equivalent to being a "grup". No matter what, "grups" can not be trusted. And so Ireland went the way of a texting teen in a speeding car, oblivious to what is really at stake, their life, other's lives, just focused on pushing SEND.
The blue spots are starting to form on pubescent political leaders the world over. Ironically, the very upper graders who are pushing the lethal policies will be the first to fall victim to the virus. Like all adolescents, they honestly believe they are invincible. And where does that leave the younger ones? Are we at the older kids' mercy or will Captain Kirk give us the cure? It seems he's trying to but will we listen? (Not to worry, this clip is SHORTER but important)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CEu2sy2Z_0
A little side note, in the Star Trek episode, the cure for the "youth virus" was successful but not without experiencing a bit of pain in the process.
I am not a One World advocate but I do suggest the people of the world take a collective TIME OUT. We need to unplug our iPods, put down the cell phones, log off Facebook for a minute and THINK for ourselves. Not all "grups" are bad. Just the "grups" who don't ACT like "grups". Learn the difference and then grow up.

Thank God for BARACK OBAMA!
On this day before Thanksgiving I find myself taking moments among the frenzied preparations for tomorrow's celebration to stop and reflect on the things that I am so very thankful for. All the predictable aspects of my life head the list; my family, my faith, good health, etc.
Beyond my personal reflections, I take a look at the big picture I find myself within. Though these times are shaky and in many cases, difficult and scary, I am thankful for the amazing men who conceived, believed and dared to write our Constitution. I marvel at their foresight or perhaps their clarity regarding the obvious weaknesses and limitless strengths of human nature.
The brilliance of our Constitution, with all the safeguards to liberty it insures, is one of, if not the greatest documents of confidence in the talents and goodness of man, the individual not the serf. This document, since its drafting, has been the bane of all tyrants and men of questionable character. There have always been forces at work attempting to shred this ideal. But like no other time before, these enemies of liberty are more visible and bolder than ever ...and not a moment too soon!
Had these forces not kicked into high gear, had they only stood on the sidelines, patiently waiting for the weaknesses of human nature to set in so deep and so thoroughly that the ideal of man's freedom would simply sigh, die, and disappear without a whimper, our fate would have been sealed. Had that these forces remained stealth, we might all be a little more comfortable this year... and a lot more dead.
Thankfully, these forces came to our rescue. Yes, our rescue. They began to assault us to such a degree, they finally, thankfully, shook us from the deep coma of complacency we had all succumbed to. Without these extreme threats to our founding ideals there would be no Tea Party, no realization, no chance for freedom to survive.
That is why I am truly thankful this Thanksgiving for God's great gift of Barack Obama. In this one man, all of the aspects of human weakness is personified. He is our chosen leader and he is US. When we as Americans look in the mirror, what we see now is Barack Obama. We see people dependent on bureaucracy to feed us, clothe us, house us, and tell us when to reproduce and die. We see people who whore themselves to the world just to garner a nod of acceptance. Respect is too good for us now, we are a people prepared to submit to our masters.
We look in the mirror and see a society no longer wanting to be a destination for souls seeking freedom. Freedom requires personal responsibility, a mantle too mighty for any human, or so says our reflection speaking to us. He reminds us only government can save the economy (or ruin it), only government can regulate big business (or hijack it), only government can bail out our auto industry (or unionize it into failure), only the government can provide health care (or ration it), only government can negotiate with our allies and enemies (or take it up the ass by so many that no one even wants a piece anymore).
We look in the mirror and see Barack Obama. Do we Americans recognize ourselves? Do we like what we see? Can we get out of bed, wash our face, roll up our sleeves and still get the job done or do we look in the mirror and decide "the hell with it" and go back to bed? Do we now say, "let the government do it"?
Americans have two choices we all are waking up to today, tomorrow and for all mortal time to come...do we prescribe to the saying, "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" or are we still the stock who vowed to "live free or die"?
This is why I truly am thankful to God for Barack Obama. Without Obama and his reflection of ourselves, we as a nation never would have come out of the daze of overindulgence to recognize who we've become and ask ourselves if we are a people who even "hope" to "change" anymore.
I know circumstances must become much worse here and around the world before improvements can occur. But "make no mistake", only because of Barack Obama, there exists a slim chance that the best of man's spirits will rally in time for triumph. Man always rises to his highest when faced with adversity. With that said, the coming years hold opportunity for heights never imagined in dreams... or nightmares.
I firmly believe America always gets the leader she deserves. Barack Obama is the leader chosen by our collective subconscious to tell us the truth about what we have become. It is painful to accept we are now a country physically, mentally, socially, morally, spiritually weak. It is painful to accept the fact WE led ourselves here, not Barack Obama. That is why all Americans must thank God tomorrow and always for Barack Obama. He will not lead us out of trouble but he is the reason America has the choice again to live free or die.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. Thank God for Barack Obama!

Obama's Justice is Just Diss
The civilian trial of Ghailani, the man responsible for the 1998 embassy bombings has concluded, resulting in one guilty count of conspiracy yet NOT guilty of the 224 (12 American citizens) deaths in which his actions brought about. The Obama Administration touts the trial as a success, claiming proof civilian trials are superior to the military tribunals. (Don't mind the enormous cost to the American taxpayer civilian trials require compared to the $1.99 a military tribunal would run.)
Obama believes the civilian trial is the venue where the world will see how "JUST" we are yet, in the same breath he'll guarantee these terrorists, especially KSM, will either rot in jail or be executed. I don't know about you, but to me, that's the definition of a kangaroo court. For Obama, as long as the "fare" for something costs more, then that makes it "fair".
Let's see the FAIR a bigger FARE got us on this one...Ghailani's sentence is a minimum of 20 years with a possibility of life ( as well as the POSSIBILITY of freedom in 20 years). This is the definition of JUSTICE for the Obama White House. A human, who took 224 innocent lives will be housed, fed and clothed for at least 20 years by the American taxpayer. Now that's FARE.
What is really obnoxious is the new argument the left is now peddling, claiming Gitmo is a "paradise" for the terrorists held there. The sooner we try them in civilian court and put them in Federal Prison, the more miserable they will rightly be. Hang on, I thought the issue with Gitmo was it was inhumane in the left's opinion? How can a thinking citizen buy into this tripe? Or keep up with? Ah-hah! I get it.
Knowing the track record of our progressive left which I have kept up with, this monster, Ghailani, will be served meals according to his religious needs, given special treatment to insure his religious practices and access to play the Wii at least an hour a day. All the while the relatives of the dead must live the next 20 years wondering if this demon will walk free again. That's not justice, THAT is TORTURE. Waterboard my ass!
In Obama's world, enemies are to be respected and given as much opportunity to use our system against us as possible to show how FAIR we are. In contrast, the relatives of Ghailani's victims are people easy to ignore. They aren't the sort who will blow others into bits. Brushing them aside is the right thing to do.
In Obama's world, good people have too much happiness as it is. If a couple hundred or thousand (9/11) are wiped out and another couple hundred (thousand) mourn their loss, that's the cost of having a happy existence with loved ones you actually care about. Obviously, anyone who is a terrorist has lived an unhappy, unloved life. The fact they destroy the lives of good people means they deserve our utmost respect and support in order to even the score for them and for us.
This attitude is why Obama sees no problem ignoring the 4th Amendment to our Constitution. Innocent, good people SHOULD be subjected to having nude images made of them that coat them with dangerous radiation or even better, allowing government thugs to poke, prod, fondle and herd American citizens like cattle to the slaughterhouse.
The government under Obama can do things to you no policeman, or even doctor can, all in the name of "safety". Forget the fact that neither the radiation spewing scanners or the roaming hands of the TSA agents can detect explosives hidden in body cavities. And please don't bring up the reality that the underwear bomber (who is the excuse for all invasive measures now in place) boarded a plane OUTSIDE the country where none of this stupid, sham security measures take place.
Obama does not value justice only justification of his control over his beloved dumb as dirt fellow citizens. This American President fancies himself the biggest smarty pants ever. He understands "good" is easily duped into slavery because "good" will trust long enough to be shackled whereas "evil" is slippery and must be respected, charmed and even aligned with to gain its cooperation.
Obama will indict America to the U.N., offer full judicial rights to foreign terrorists, devalue America's currency, spend us into debt, tax us numb, physically degrade the populace to the point of self-imprisonment, undermine our military, open the doors for our enemies and has the gall to say this is all for our benefit.
The only justice for Obama is social justice which will occur when all in his dominion are equal in housing, food, clothing, work...except for the Obamas and probably the Soros too (since Obama sorta owes Sorry-boy, big). Besides, somebody has to be the Keepers of the ignorant masses. Keepers always live large by social justice rules.
As Obama sees it, those who used their God-given talents to better their lives will have to give most of their earnings to those who are not able or willing to work for these things. This is Obama's chosen goal. In his value set, any act which brings about such a reality is justifiably just. Hmmm, sort of like the justification of terrorist acts for the "peace" prescribed in the Q'uran. Nah, that's just crazy talk!
In this new America of Obama, our Lady Justice is not only blind but she's gagged, bound and has the hand of a TSA agent up her skirt. Obama has dissed what is just for that which is social justice. Social Justice? More like social disease if you ask me.

Fey Feigns, PBS Strains, Who Gains At Mark Twain's?
Bless her heart, that little Tina Fey. She tried to simply be funny during the PBS broadcast of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor but apparently her shtick didn't click for the PBS execs. They claim they cut her speech due to time constraints but anyone with a brain knows they cut Fey's slam on Palin and conservative women in general simply because they are still licking wounds brought on by the Juan Williams fiasco.
The last thing PBS needs is more evidence they are a media shill for the far left. And so the left chooses to stifle free speech rather than play by their own ideals. Tina, did you learn nothing from the human sacrifice of Juan Williams? The left has no loyalty, no standards, no shame. Right on cue, movements that tout government enforced social equality for all, predictably resort to cannibalism when their message begins to spell out their actual goals.
Here's what Fey said that PBS didn't "have time" for you to hear:
"And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women - except, of course --those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape 'kit 'n' stuff," Fey said. "But for everybody else, it's a win-win. Unless you're a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years - whatever. But for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us. Unless you believe in evolution. You know - actually, I take it back. The whole thing's a disaster."
First off, this lie that the left floated about Palin supporting the payment for rape kits by the victim is rarely corrected. The truth behind the rape kit story goes back to the Former Police Chief, Charlie Fannon, who served when Palin was Mayor of Wasilla. Fannon was quoted by two reporters saying he did not think the cost of such kits should be the burden of Wasilla tax payers. He went on to say he believed the cost should be covered by the criminal. This part of his opinion on the matter was conveniently left out as is the fact that Sarah Palin, as Mayor, never supported this measure. I don't fault Fey for continuing this lie, she's but a mindless bot in the army of mindless bots. Her program does not contain a fact finding ap. Bless her bot.
This is how the left operates, taking a shred of information and weaving an amazing, colorful, fantastical yarn with it. Most times the truth is just the opposite of what they claim but facts never stop the minions of the left from obeying the instructions of their masters.
There's no explanation needed for Fey's objection to conservative women's views on gay marriage. That is a valid aspect to lampoon and depending on a person's opinion, the line either is funny or not. Fey is good on that score.
As for the evolution bit, more false insinuation being spewed by the Feybot. I don't know one conservative, male or female who wants the theories of evolution banned. On the contrary, conservatives want the THEORIES of evolution as well as the THEORIES of creationism taught so that children in our public schools have the opportunity to be exposed to all possibilities.
Teaching only one line of thought is in direct opposition to the definition of a liberal education yet for some reason, the concept of a Creator who possibly designed evolution in the first place, is an idea too scary for the secular left to wrap their heads around as adults let alone exposing the minds of their vulnerable progeny to.
Questionable theories are spouted constantly. This will be true till the end of time (if you believe in such a thing). Our children need to hear truth as well as tripe and be capable themselves in deciding what is what. Call me crazy, but I thought that was the point of a liberal education, the free exchange of ideas no matter how boring or off the wall. Why is the left so terrified of hearing opposing viewpoints? Is it because their arguments suck?
My progeny are exposed to liberal ideals all day, every day. The difference is I have made a game out of pointing out the liberal propaganda and explaining my reasons why it fails profoundly in helping people. I lay out my opinions as to how progressive movements serve to enslave the human spirit, not enrich it. This game has been so successful that my kids are now the ones pointing out liberal themes and explaining the progressive fallacies to me!
This is why I think PBS should have aired Fey's comments in full. Either live by your standards or stop claiming you have them. She won an award that she certainly deserves more than the ones doled out to Obama, Gore, Carter and Yasser Arafat. Tina Fey has actually made me laugh on occasion. Those other lefties with awards on their shelves have only made me cry yet the left silences little Tina Fey. PBS ironically has become the network of Professional Bot Silencers. So courageous they are.
PBS chopped Juan Williams for going off the left's script partially even though he was actually making a point FOR the left's script. Now they scrap Fey for speaking directly, verbatim, not one word edited from the progressive left's script.
Why would they muzzle their minions from both sides of their group? Is it because the message is finally being clearly deciphered? Yes, and the control center knows it. All the high-minded, altruistic code words (social justice, green, hope, change, evolution) are finally being understood for what they actually mean, the loss of an individual's privacy, personal property, personal beliefs, personal liberty, person hood, period.
This is the moment of truth. The progressive left has never been this close to real world-wide control as they are at this moment in history yet never have they been this close to being completely revealed for who they actually are and what they truly stand for. Technology is their favorite tool but it may well be their ultimate downfall. Are you a name or a number? There will be a moment we will all have to decide which we go by.
Me? "My name is Raymond J. Johnson, Jr. Now you can call me Ray, or you can call me J, or you can call me Johnny, or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me Junie, or you can call me Ray J, or you can call me RJ, or you can call me RJJ, or you can call me RJJ Jr." or you can even call me STUPID...
But don't ever call me 0238590572.
Besides, that number is reserved for little Tina Feybot, anyway.
The last thing PBS needs is more evidence they are a media shill for the far left. And so the left chooses to stifle free speech rather than play by their own ideals. Tina, did you learn nothing from the human sacrifice of Juan Williams? The left has no loyalty, no standards, no shame.

The progressive left has never been this close to real world-wide control as they are at this moment in history yet never have they been this close to being completely revealed for who they actually are and what they truly stand for. Technology is their favorite tool but it may well be their ultimate downfall. Are you a name or a number? There will be a moment we will all have to decide which we go by.
Me? "My name is Raymond J. Johnson, Jr. Now you can call me Ray, or you can call me J, or you can call me Johnny, or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me Junie, or you can call me Ray J, or you can call me RJ, or you can call me RJJ, or you can call me RJJ Jr." or you can even call me STUPID...
But don't ever call me 0238590572.
Besides, that number is reserved for little Tina Feybot, anyway.

How To Handle the TSA... WARNING: This Stinks
Did you know that TSA officially means Touchers of Sensitive Areas? A man going through airport security recently recorded on his video cellphone the latest in the land of hope and change. Smartly this fellow refuses the radiation soaked body scan but agrees to a pat down with the warning for the agent regarding "his junk". From that, the guy not only is detained, not allowed to fly but is fined $10,000.
So our government protects the right of screaming nutcases to humiliate and scorn the families of fallen soldiers at military funerals but a guy going through airport security is not allowed to warn a stranger about touching his "junk".
Under Bush, I had some real questions about the overstepping of bounds present in the Patriot Act but nothing came close to the frontal assault the Obama Administration is waging against citizens of the United States under the guise of Homeland Security.
Who exactly is our enemy? A better question might be, who is Obama waging war on? He is being chewed up and spit out by governments around the globe and all he can say is "thank you sir, may I have another?" Yet our spineless Leader treats his own people with the respect and dignity of a red-headed step child.
The questionably safe and obviously invasive measures being meted out at our airports and even some train terminals is less about keeping us protected and more about keeping us in line. Apparently Obama is fine with having children's genitals felt up by some $8 an hour cretin but heaven forbid we take measures to weed out the REAL perpetrators.
We all know that the threats are coming from people who are Islamist terrorists. We've been told we can't just check all people who look middle eastern because not all terrorists are middle eastern, besides, that's profiling and that would be...smart. Fine, but all terrorists targeting the West are followers of Islam.
Here's where I get crazy. Instead of using radiation spewing machines, the twisting of breasts and grabbing of groins, lets simply have a pig skin at each checkpoint. No matter what you look like, if you are an Islamist terrorist, you WILL NOT touch a pig skin, so help you Allah.
I know, but good muslims will not touch the pigskin either. That's bigoted No, it's the most efficient way to narrow down who is a REAL threat. Though most muslims aren't terrorists, all terrorists are muslim. This wouldn't be happening if Islam wasn't a religion of peace, a peace that can only be fulfilled when all infidels have been converted or exterminated.
Besides, which is worse? Having an elderly woman felt up, a toddler's genitals searched, a 30 year-old white male's "junk" handled by another male unwillingly or a muslim asked to touch a pigskin? Of course, Obama is much more worried about what muslims around the world think of him than what his own citizenry thinks of him. We, he can bully but Saudi Kings get a big old bow.
The worst aspect to all of this...people are saying they simply will stop travelling. I am afraid, this is the real goal. Like the old Soviet Union, the government prohibited free movement of its citizens. Obama can't be so bold yet but he can scare us into self-imposed imprisonment. It's much easier to control a populace that doesn't go anywhere. If travel declines, the airlines go under and yes, the government can take total control of those too. Now we're talking!
Is Obama that calculating and Marxist? I hope not. He is however, much more eager to please those who want to weaken our country than effectively protect the American people who want to strengthen our country. So, should people travel and be subjected to unhealthy levels of radiation or sexually invasive pat downs by government goons or should Americans stay at home, hurt the airline industry and further weaken the economy?
I think the answer is to go French. You heard me. If you know you're going to have to travel, stop bathing for several days prior. Achieve your ripest stench you yourself can endure and then go for it! Opt for that personal pat down.
My neighbor (a frequent business traveler) has reported great success with yet another form of offensive bodily odor which he has personally employed during recent security checks. Regardless of the method, if the TSA agent is going to feel you up, do your level best to make sure you disgust them with every poke and prod.
Then, when the rest of the world tells us we stink, at least they'll finally be right!

Why Earmarks Equal MORE Than The SUM of Their Parts
And the tone deaf, head up their arse, don't touch my goodies mentality in Washington continues...
Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader, Republican, (conservative?) tries to "school" us big dummies as to why a ban on earmarks is nothing but folly. This so-called conservative politician points to the fact that earmarks add up to less than a pittance in the scheme of Federal debt. That is his rationale. He's a Senator and don't you dare question him!
What a pompous tool McConnell is. What year is he living in? Mitchie, it ain't 2009 anymore. Does he really think we don't get it? True, the hard numbers of the cost of all earmarks together is minuscule when compared to the mountains of debt our country has incurred but what Pinch Face doesn't own up to is the fact that all these palm greasings, I mean earmarks, are the usher to big EXPENSIVE unaffordable legislation being passed. Example: had an Earmark Ban been in effect there would be NO OBAMACARE. Oh, but to dream.
Earmarks (the Louisiana Purchase and Cornhusker Kickback) are the only reason that 2000 page unread monstrosity got through the Senate. True, those two BRIBES were a drop in the bucket however, the cost brought on by those cheap tips are what really takes costs to the American people to a new level. For instance, now a majority of states are spending funds to pay the legal fees to prove Obamacare Unconstitutional. That may well be a state's cost but the Federal Government has to spend oodles to defend the bad legislation too. Of course, the American Taxpayer is on the hook both for bringing the suit and defending it. No Dorothy, we're not in Kansas anymore!
And to add insult to injury, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that OBAMACARE sucks, the administration just waived an additional 111 organizations (mostly unions) from being subject to the rules and regulations of OBAMACARE. Translation, small companies with no D.C. lobbyists on your payroll, you're screwed. This act in itself is admission that this "tome of trouble" is nothing more than a job killer (adding exponentially to our debt) yet for a measly couple bucks our representatives in Washington were bought off to vote for it. In essence, this one example of the REAL cost of earmarks is what must be considered and why earmarks must be banned.
Here's a concept: If a piece of legislation requires a bribe to be voted for, perhaps it's not a law we should be passing in the first place? Silly thought, I know.
Are all earmarks bad? No, some are valid and even worthy but the use of them has spun out of control. Earmarks are to Congress, what a sip of beer is to an alcoholic. The substance itself is not lethal but the misuse and abuse of it can grow into an addiction that eventually destroys all it touches. Washington has a serious addiction problem that they are unwilling to own up to. No matter what side of the aisle one stands, the cold sweats begin en mass when talk of banning their precious earmarks is uttered.
On paper, earmarks are indeed a small amount of the spending problem but I submit that they are the essential catalyst to the explosion of Congressional spending. Take that catalyst out of Congress's lab and see what happens. Worse case scenario, without the earmarks, Congress may end up passing nothing and with Congress's recent track record, that may be a very good thing.
UPDATE: McCONNELL GOT RELIGION! Will he hold fast or fall from the wagon? Keep your eyes on this one.

Sarah Palin: A Winning Coach, Not League Commissioner
Sarah Palin is the reason I cast a vote in the 2008 election. I am no fan of John McCain for many of the reasons most conservatives are not. But when he chose Sarah Palin and she hit the stage delivering that mind blowing speech at the RNC Convention, my belief in the Republican party was resuscitated.
Several weeks later I had the memorable experience of seeing Sarah Palin in person. She came to speak in my town and I was not going to miss it. I was less than 20 feet from the stage which meant I got there EARLY. It was an incredibly long, hot day on a wide open dustbin of a field. I was with my mom, my two eldest daughters and about 50 thousand of my closest conservative friends. Granted, we stood thirsty and hungry for 6+ hours to hear a 20 minute speech but to this day, I still get inspired when I think about how energizing Sarah Palin was. There is no doubt about the fact that Sarah Palin is electric. Electricity can make things run and it can also cause destruction.
Our country is in tatters in many ways, but especially ideologically. There are tiffs, rifts and mile wide chasms within the Democratic party. The Leftist fringe is attempting to hold moderate and conservative Democrats hostage just long enough to re-elect Obama in 2012. (Word to Manchin: jump ship now because all hostages will be executed December, 2012 if Obama takes a 2nd term).
Following the recent election victories, the Republican party is riding the happy bus for the next two more minutes or so but already the ultimatums, backstabbing and name calling can be heard from the back of this bus tour. There are the predictable power struggles amongst Tea Party groups not to mention the obvious odds between the Republican establishment and conservative groups in general.
Don't get me wrong, all this bickering is ultimately good for a flushing of ideas and message. Now is the time solutions and tactics are being formed, adopted or pitched to the side. At the end of the day our country can only succeed on the battleground of ideas. Ultimately, the idea we choose must be one that most Americans can relate to and rally behind together while retaining distinct ideologies and beliefs. This is the hallmark of the U.S.A. and what makes us the authentic, successful example of freedom.
Having said this, allow me to resort to a thoroughly American analogy, football. For the game to exist, there must be opposing teams, each with a coach that understands the talents within that particular team and can stir up the passion, drive and ultimate execution needed for that team to be victorious. Coach Mike Ditka and his Chicago Bears stirs the image of one sort of football team; a collection of raw talent, serious heft, grit and some limited finesse led by a loud and proud personification all these traits. On the other end of the field is another sort of outfit, the Miami Dolphins headed by Don Shula, master strategist and tactical chameleon. Both men have a personality taylor-made to focus their teams on the mission and bring home victory. These men thrive on competition and shine brightest when opposition is greatest.
This is the description of Sarah Palin. She is, in essence, a winning football coach. She knows the strengths of her team's message. She will provide the tough love to those on the team who stray from the purpose. She keeps the players stoked and the hometown crowd not only cheering but buying season tickets, a hot dog and a cold one to boot. This is what the Republican Party needs. This is the role Sarah Palin can and, in my opinion, the role she should play...a winning coach...not a league commissioner.
In the last Presidential election the American people made the grave mistake of hiring a first round draft pick as Commissioner of the League. Obama barely played the game let alone being equipped to oversee the welfare of all players, coaches and fans! Obama's allegiance is to his slime-ball agent, one Gyorgy Soros Schwartz and Soros alone. Though I believe Coach Palin would make good decisions for the league (country), I know the fans of the opposition conference would never ever, ever hear her out long enough to consider her ideas.
The President of the United States, like the Commissioner of the League, must make decisions for the good of all the teams of both conferences. He or she must be able to articulate the rationale of policies so that most of the players, coaches and fans can at least relate to the cause if not whole heartily support it. I believe the next President of the United States should be a committed conservative but this person must possess a demeanor of calm determination and confident clarity. The conservative pick for president must be able to make the argument without the trademark red meat rhetoric that was so greatly needed in anemic conservative circles of the LAST two election cycles.
Though the conservative team is now fortified with protein, there is no doubt we will always need a hard-nosed coach to direct and set up the touchdown. Sarah Palin would be the "winning est" coach in the CFC ( Conservative Political Conference), no doubt. But putting her up to be commissioner of the entire league? No. Not a winning strategy.
I have high hopes for a couple of her star players, Marco Rubio and Kristi Noem. These are two individuals possessing the right temperament for our conflict-weary country. Both believe, live and deliver the message without the vitriol. 2012 may be too soon for either of them to be considered but their personalities exemplify the calm clarity and reserved confidence a UNITED States of America could quiet down for, listen to, look at and finally recognize our shared goal of a successful, flourishing, land of freedom.
Politics is a game of personality and timing. After 8 years of Bush, the country was willing to believe in a fairytale and unfortunately, we did. We've woken up and are ready for reality. Palin may have good, common sense ideas but her delivery will always sound like a locker room speech to "Team Right Wing". Conservatives have to put forth a candidate that doesn't compromise ideals while still being able to put the electorate at ease long enough to allow them to absorb the concepts and if not make these ideals their own at least see the logic behind them.
A single team can win a single game by brute force however, the success of the league comes from all teams agreeing to the goals of the league together. The conservative candidate for League Commissioner is yet to be found but it is clear our Head Coach position has been successfully filled. I just hope Coach Palin has signed the long term contract and not the two year one.

Michelle's Taxing Social Agenda with Veterans
When Time Magazine announced, "We Are All Socialists Now" Michelle Obama decided to stretch her social muscles like no other First Lady before. In true Socialist fashion, Michelle our Belle, at taxpayer's expense, hired a staggering 22 staffers to aid her exclusively in managing her "social agenda". Four of these valuable human beings are paid over $100,000 each with the other 18 working for a bit more than peanuts.
Judging from history, Michelle Obama's predecessors were real slackers. Laura Bush only had one social assistant who was paid for out of the Bush family's own pocket. How gauche! Hillary only needed 3 assistants, 2 of which exclusively tended to the color coding of her pants suits which is pretty remarkable considering the number of shades of blue she has alone. Nancy Reagan had one assistant as did Jackie Kennedy, the epitome of style and grace, the gold standard of American First Ladies. If Michelle Obama is striving to be the anti-Jackie, she's succeeding on that score.
I realize Michelle's excesses have been highlighted many times before, to no avail. If anything, criticism of Mrs. Obama results in even more arrogant extravagance and waste on her part. So why spend my time kavetching about the insipid tax payer-funded spending of our self-important First Lady? She's not going to change, I know, I know.
However, on this Veteran's Day, when I heard about 73-year-old Army veteran, Joe Andreuzzi, receiving a FOUR CENT check issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, I could not stop thinking of our patronizing First Lady and her self-serving photo-ops with our Veterans. I could hear her citing all the benefits she's brought them through the Recovery Act that funded 1,500 temporary jobs for claims processors to speed benefits to veterans like the big FOUR CENTS Joe Andreuzzi received. Gee, thanks Mrs. Obama. You really shouldn't have! I mean that.
I loved hearing Joe's response to the ridiculous check. Even though he'll be forty cents in the hole, Joe's mailing the FOUR CENTS back to Obama to help pay down the debt. So much for the efficiency of the Recovery Act! With all the success Mrs. Obama's efforts have brought, one would expect the First Lady, whose focus on Military Families and Veterans Affairs she personally selected to champion, would be here, in the U.S., honoring our servicemen and women this Veteran's Day. Instead she's adding to the cost of our elected leader's Asia trip, racking up the tab with her essential 22 member staff in tow. To be fair, I do have to point out the fact that Mrs. Obama along with Dr. Jill Biden did go out of their way for our military and offer the following heartfelt sentiments via video tape:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/photos-and-video/video/2010/11/10/a-veterans-day-message-first-lady-michelle-obama-and-dr-jill-biden
Wow, that's powerful stuff. Per the Obama's "style" they have no problem asking us for our attention, our service, our money, our votes but when it comes to them listening to us, don't hold your breath. So as I exhale the negativity with my preceding diatribe, I'll inhale with the positive spirit of Joe Andreuzzi and all our other honorable veterans who should be the real focus of all of us this day and everyday as we thank them for their service to our nation. They may not be paid the salaries of the First Lady's Social (ist) Assistants, but we the people can do right by them in ways Michelle Obama will never understand.

Per the Obama's "style" they have no problem asking us for our attention, our service, our money, our votes but when it comes to them listening to us, don't hold your breath. So as I exhale the negativity with my preceding diatribe, I'll inhale with the positive spirit of Joe Andreuzzi and all our other honorable veterans who should be the real focus of all of us this day and everyday as we thank them for their service to our nation. They may not be paid the salaries of the First Lady's Social (ist) Assistants, but we the people can do right by them in ways Michelle Obama will never understand.

Soros' One World Order...A 2nd Rate Petting Zoo
As a kid I remember watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and getting upset when Marlon Perkins would step aside, allowing nature to take its course. It seemed wrong to let those baby tigers fend for themselves or the gazelle get taken down by the lion. Marlon was standing right there! He could have stopped all the suffering and carnage but instead, he simply filmed for us so we could see the sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes frightening reality of life in the wild.
Why would such a sweet, kind, knowledgeable man, which Marlon seemed to be, not step in and make all the episodes happy, save all the animals in danger? My father explained to me that if man gets involved in the process of these animals' survival, he would create far more suffering and destruction than what occurs naturally. Animals fair best when left alone to find their own food, solve their own dilemmas, stake out their own territory. Wild animals are happiest minus man's intervention. I would soon learn this holds true for all of God's creatures.
How many times have we all heard "do not feed the bears"? Why not? Because if the bears become dependent on food from humans they lose their hunting instincts, their diets become poor and they actually develop a taste for processed food over the more nutritious wild game. If a bear does become addicted and dependent, they are more likely to seek out humans, causing danger to people and the bear alike.
This scenario of dependence holds true for human beings as well. Think of the riots today in England as well as the ones that happened in Greece and France where people are dependent on the government for their livelihood from cradle to grave. When 20 somethings are protesting about working till the age of 62, that's a pathetic example of humans with zero self-reliance. What has become of young people when they beg for authority to provide them their dreams? Someone has been feeding the bears for far too long. Now that the tourists have exceeded their limits on their credit cards and have to pack up and go home, the junk food is gobbled and gone, leaving the cubs, hungry, clawing and clueless.
Europe has been plagued with this "all-providing government" mentality for centuries compared to America who has only sipped from the cesspool of dependency at certain points in our short history. However, as Europe toys with the idea of checking into rehab, America is full steam ahead, morphing into the big government dependency nightmare our forefathers drafted the Constitution to specifically avoid.
Enter George Soros, aka, Gyorgy Schwartz. This man has a track record of taking down financial systems for the purpose of personally profiting as well as positioning himself to gain control of the markets he prompted to fail. He's made no secret about his desire to bring on a One World government that he would control and provide the conscience for. In some warped way, he rationalizes his vision as fair and just, providing all humans on the earth an equal existence. He's plowed more money than we'll ever know into political campaigns, media outlets, academia and social outreach throughout the world to bring his dream to fruition.
The last piece in his puzzle is the destruction of the United States of America. He finally managed to get a circus bear into the White House. He's cracked the whip at the Fed, who obediently flooded the markets with dollars. And his media pool of trained seals are regurgitating the script he provides on a daily basis. Does Mr. Schwartz (that translates to "Mr. Black" in English) really want the people of the world to be happy? No. His reality of equality for all the humans of the world is no better than the existence of pitiful animals found in a petting zoo.
Since the beginning of time societies have formed with the authority of the masses in the hands of an unelected few. Some rulers in this scenario are intelligent, honest men bringing prosperity to that particular society...for a while. But inevitably in human existence, power is handed off to a jerk or worse, an egotistical madman. Sure, the dependent masses are treated equally under such a ruler, equally poor. It's the same old story, one step forward under a good ruler, two steps back under a putz. The only constant is the fact that the masses are kept like caged animals, with little to no ability to determine their own destiny.
Fast forward to the creation of the United States of America. With its conception, the gates of the petting zoo were flung open. All of the animals determined to fend for themselves, hoping to thrive or at least die with dignity, flooded this new land of freedom. It was the first time in history that man was an individual, not a serf. The ideal was to leave success and failure up to the individual, resulting in a country more amazing than anyone ever imagined. America became the number one destination for any human with self-confidence and a dream. Fortunes were made and fortunes were lost but the successes far outweighed the losses. No where was the standard of living for the majority of the populace this high and growing.
So why wouldn't the rest of the world want to take on freedoms like the United States and offer all of their citizens the opportunity to be a self-sufficient individual member of society? Because the old entrenched systems of authority knew handing that sort of power over to the masses would mean an end to their cushy positions. They too would be flung into the race to fend for themselves, no longer riding the backs of the men they owned.
You see, our founding fathers were the first Marlon Perkins. They respected, revered and had total faith in the abilities of man to survive without a keeper. Not only did they believe man would survive in the atmosphere of freedom, they imagined man would thrive. Freedom provides the ability to succeed and fail on one's own, two of the most precious experiences any human can have. These are the very two experiences a person like George "Sorrows" Black wants to take away from us all. He has no faith in the individual to conduct their own lives in a free society. He much prefers us all to reside in his crumby little petting zoo where he can watch us, feed us at prescribed times, keeping him amused and fulfilled, knowing he rules over all the dumb, incompetent creatures of the Big Schwartz Sorosful Kingdom.
Time will tell if Mr. Sorrows will corral the people of the United States. He's got quite a few eating from his trough already but I believe the wild independent animals still outnumber the dependent progressive menagerie of pets Schwartzie has in his pen.
Word to the herd...bite this hand that feeds you!

TSA Feels For You
The more I read about the abuses endured by American citizens at the hand of TSA workers, the more I begin to take seriously the theory that our country is being consumed by a government seeking to enslave us under the guise of being "for our own good". I haven't flown since the body scanners were implemented in some of the major airports but when I heard that Homeland Security chief, Micahel Chertoff, was benefiting financially from the machines' placement, it sounded like a bad idea from the get go.
Additionally, it didn't take much of a bet that there would be TSA workers misusing the scanned images in humiliating ways. A multitude of cases are documented where the images were not only passed among the TSA workers but on to some sheriff and police departments strictly due to the gawk factor. As if invasion of privacy and humiliation isn't enough to call an end to body scanner use but the worst part is the level of radiation emitted with each scan. The Inter Agency Committee on Radiation Safety said the levels were not acceptable, especially to people who fly regularly. From the government's perspective, exposing hundreds of thousands to radiation is worth the cost in order to cover their butt. Don't you crazy citizens get it? You give us your tax dollars and we pretend to keep you safe from bombs while you get the added bonus of humiliation mixed with radiation for good measure. Now, get to work and stop thinking so much!
Luckily, every passenger has the "right" to refuse the dangerous and humiliating body scan and opt instead for sexual molestation. Sign me up! It's really mind blowing to think the government can hire some minimum wage goons whose job it is to feel peoples' genitalia for weapons. Boy, does that give me some ideas! Only within a government gone insane would this exist.
Apparently the fact that the measures now underway in our airports violate the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
is of no concern to our government. There is account after account of every day citizens, young teenage girls with prosthetic legs having breasts groped, old men being forced to drop their pants in public due to a knee replacement, young children having their groins examined for explosives. REALLY? This is happening in America today. This is exactly why ALL airport security needs to be taken out of the control of government and placed back into the business of private firms. Unlike the government where incompetence is never grounds for termination, private firms can be fired, hired and held to standards of common sense and decency! The government has never operated decently let alone applying rules of common sense.
These absurd measures do NOT keep us safer in the skies, they are merely another way to strip us of our rights as citizens. And the next step to save us from terrorists being discussed is to implement these same measures at all large sporting events and concerts. What then? Screening us each time we step outside our front door?
Safety in the skies is an important goal but nothing in life is risk-free. Common sense is the best tool any of us have to increase our chances of staying safe. However, government replaces adaptable common sense with rules that apply to limited scenarios, resulting in more harm than good. Why then does government pretend they are improving a situation when the facts do not bare them out? If I were really paranoid, I'd think our government were creating this outrageous atmosphere in the airports specifically to limit our travel as well as stifling the numbers of those coming from the outside. Tourism and business travel to the United States has dropped at a time when we can least afford it. Reagan's advice regarding the words Americans should all fear, have never been truer than they are today..."We're from the government and we're here to help". Help who, exactly? Maybe if pat downs and groping of private parts is the best way to keep us all safe, perhaps we as travellers should be allowed to do the same search to the TSA agents. With Liberty and Groin grabbing for ALL!

What the Facts Is on the Taxes
Every time I hear a politician or pundit on the left characterize the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts to the "wealthy" as a cost TO THE GOVERNMENT, I cuss a blue streak. Until the day comes that all citizens have skin in this government funding game, I will remain one foul-mouthed broad. Sorry kids, keep covering your ears!
I agree in the concept of taxes to pay for the infrastructure of our country, not a problem but when you read about tax dollars going for items such as studying the sexual arousal in anesthetized female rats (real Dartmouth study with our real tax funding), research and development regarding the use of African-American English, or $168,000 going to Escape Massage Parlor in Midlothian, Virginia, a taxpayer has to wonder how these recipients are worthy of our tax funds?! Of course, it's always the policemen and firemen whose funding will be first on the chopping block. Heaven forbid sexy drugged up rats should not have their fun!
Please, all politicians, cut the crap. We've delivered our shot across the bow. For the next two years we will be watching every move you make. No pulling fast ones on us anymore because we've got your number. OR do we? Regrettably just this past election I am afraid the crafty politicians scammed the voters of Virginia once again. Though we were able to oust a few of the weasels this last round, the good people of Virginia made a very bad mistake. We fell for yet another tax scheme and this one was backed by REPUBLICANS. Shocking, I know. NOT.
Two of the three initiatives on Virginia's ballot involved changing our state's Constitution to reduce the taxes of (1) our elderly and (2) our military. Who wouldn't WANT to give tax breaks to elderly and the military? Seems like a "no brainer" however the fact is as Rob Schilling http://www.facebook.com/schillingshow noted in his pre-vote warning against these initiatives: ANY CITIZEN EXEMPT FROM PAYING TAXES THAT HIS NEIGHBOR MUST PAY, HAS NO INCENTIVE IN KEEPING THE TAX LOW BECAUSE HE HIMSELF PAYS NONE. With 2009 showing 47% of ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS paying ZERO Federal Tax, we are setting ourselves up to either run all successful individuals out of the country or render them extinct all together. The Progressive Tax has brought on the predictable instability that all ponzi schemes produce. To ADD to this by voting for tax breaks on the elderly and military are only bringing financial collapse to our system all the quicker. Playing on our emotions is how these thieves always strip our pockets and in the long run, both elderly and military will suffer too.
As for the third initiative, it too sounded like a good idea...increasing the funding for the state's rainy day fund. In these days of financial insecurity, the concept of putting money away for emergencies seems right in line with every responsible person's ideals. WRONG! Giving more money (our money) to the state to hold for a rainy day is equivalent to asking an arsonist to tend the BBQ. The state is not a bank, investment fund or a savings account. The state is not regulated to spend that money per your request. It has full control in deeming any rainy day it wants as an emergency, and with politicians made of sugar, you know EVERY drop of dew will magically become classified a hurricane by our sweet representatives.
Even though American citizens are undoubtedly waking up and becoming informed, we still have quite a way to go. Don't be fooled. Whether it be a Democrat or Republican, if they suggest you give them more money, there's a very good chance it is funding the arousal of rats at the Escape Massage Parlor in Midlothian, VA.
Think twice when governments entice.

I Vote For Irate Pirate PELOSI
This is great news. My favorite phony Catholic, hypocritical bamboozler of all time is staying in the game. Nancy Pelosi is taking a page out of Brett Favre's playbook and coming back for one more (plus) season(s). Apparently having her hat handed to her is no deterrent from power for our girl Nan. She is going to scrape and scratch for every shred of power she can possibly cling to till the enth hour, so help her... "the word", as she would say.
As a conservative, this is the best news I can hear. I'd much rather have Hellosi remaining the face of House Democrats than Steady Steny Hoyer. If Steny were elected minority whip the wind in the sails of conservatives would predictably diminish. Republicans would still play the role of "push back" to Obama but the tone and energy would be lower and slower. This is something conservatives can not afford to happen at such a pivotal time. The visuals for the next two years have to be big. Pelosi as minority leader would supply the arrogance of purpose that the populace needs to keep seeing. Americans want calm. The minute Democrats sound reasonable, as if they will play nice and compromise, many concerned Americans will breathe a sigh of relief and go back to mowing their lawns. We need the insolence and bold deceitfulness that only Nancy Pelosi can bring.
Am I calling for conflict and turmoil within our government? No. If I thought for one moment that the liberals who now own the Democratic Party were not actually progressives in their favorite costume of sheep's clothing I'd be fine with a Congress that operated with civility and respect. However, our Democrats have morphed into a brand of Fabian Socialists who use the guise of uplifting the underclass when in fact they want to take down the system as a whole (hurting the weakest of society the most) in order to ultimately rebuild society under their twisted "total control of the masses" scheme. Their vision of a few smarties shepherding the world population in controlled existence is their ultimate wet dream.
For progressives, controlling the ignorant population, providing them the mediocre necessities of life from cradle to grave is the humane, evolved, loving thing to do for the big dummies. Everyone, even backward conservatives, must admit, there's really only a handful of intelligent people in the world. The rest of the lot are barely able to read the Health Care bill (thank goodness) let alone manage their own existence! That's why the precious few mental giants need to mother, smother and molest the idiot herds, for their own good, of course. This is the logic of the current class of American progressives as well as your run-of-the-mill pedophile. And for this reason, I want bold and brash Nasty Nan to lead their charge. She's the creepy uncle everyone knows to stay clear of at Thanksgiving.
Some may think I am saying the American people are dim if they need such an obvious red flag waved to keep their motivation alive. In fact, the American people are not dim, they are industrious, maybe to a fault. They are individuals inclined to sailing their own ship, mending their own sails, plugging the holes in their own vessel, relying on the notion that all the other captains are doing the same. However, when pirates invade the waters, captains have to shift attention away from the shape of their ship to the outside threat which proposes to render sailing impossible altogether. To defeat pirates, all self-sufficient captains must unite as a force to rid the seas of thieves. The true danger occurs when the pirates begin acting as fellow captains (Steny Hoyer). The guard goes down, the theiving commences, only on a more stealth basis.
That is why I vote for the swash-buckling antics of Irate Pirate Pelosi. She will reliably keep all good captain's eyes on the Jolly Obama through the tempest of 2012. Yo-O-Bo and a bottle of Dumb!

What Does Obama Care About?
I've been trying to figure out Obama's story ever since his tone deaf date night with Michelle way back when he was still considered a rock star. I chalked that particular elitest act up to the fact that the strain of the campaign could easily justify a night of blowing off steam. The small fact that Obama ran as a man who championed the "have nots" could surely be spared the title hypocrite this one time. The mere fact that the country was in economic free fall, for pete'sake, it was one date night for the leader of the free world! Oh, but if only the fllaunting living large lifestyle had only stopped there.
No, the country then had an outrageous stimulus bill funded from the taxpayers' hide, an obnoxious health care bill rammed down our throat and don't forget the auto bailouts. Thank goodness we live in America where capitalism determines the winners and losers...not! Obama and his regime piled that on us all the while taking extravagant vacations to Hawaii, Chicago, Copenhagen to secure the 2016 Summer Olympics for Chicago, NOT, Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize for stuff he MIGHT do as President (talk about HOPE), Florida to look like he was working to stop that mean gushing oil that Bad BP caused, Martha's Vineyard with the first fam, who needed another vacay away from Barack so they went on to Spain and made a big splash there before coming back to that yucky old home in that backward country they rule over. Life can be so trying when you're an elitest leftist living in America with throngs of complaining Teabaggers who have some crazy notion that they matter.
So now Barack feels bad. Not for what he's done to our country, but for himself. All that GOVERNMENT money spent to turn things around, to get us out of the ditch, to deliver the hope and change has failed. Our money now has been devalued thanks to the Fed, bringing us all the closer to identifying with the Weimar Republic. The Chinese are telling us how to be capitalists, the English are moving away from socialist healthcare and the French get tough with Islamist law in their country while we fill the void of being the chumps of the world. And Obama feels bad that he is misunderstood. Heaven forbid he realize the thing that is misunderstood is the will of the people!
A huge shift occured in Washington with this midterm election. Will it wake our leader up? Will he see what we see? Will he care? Judging by his flying off to India, spending a reported $200 mil A DAY, no, he will not because this man does not have the capacity to care. I initially thought Obama was an intelligent man with a liberal agenda. I was right about the liberal agenda but his mental make up is not one of intelligence, it is one of narcissism, the kind of which this country has never seen in a leader except maybe Richard Nixon. In Nixon's defense, I believe his mental sickness developed later while in power. Obama came into this presidency a total nut job. When I think back to the faux presidential seal he had cooked up during the campaign and that embarrasing display he orchestrated after winning the Democratic nomination, with the weird colonnade backdrop, it becomes clear the guy had delusions of granduer way before that over the top Inauguration Day.
Obama jets off to India as our soldiers are in two war zones, mid east peace is in shambles, the U.N. is damning America for Human Rights violations, on our dime, at the invitation of our president as our dollar is sinking, jobs are shrinking, inflation is looming and medical costs are now higher than ever due to his fabulous plan. The black population is in much worse shape economically than they were under Bush. Home ownership overall is at an historic low, foreclosures, all time high and Barack Obama tells us he's doing "more than we know". Do I want to know what more? Now THAT is a scary thought.
What bugs me is the fact that any person who takes a job with the CIA or FBI is subjected to a mental evaluation. WHY isn't EVERY candidate for the Office of President of the United States screened too? I'm sorry, I've known passionate individuals who were obsessed by their cause. I've known highly intelligent people who are arrogant and frustrated by the hoi polloi's simple take on life. And I've known people who are certifiably crazy, out of their gord, nuts. Of the three groups, Obama fits in with only one.
None of Obama's actions make sense from an intellectual, logical, politically self-preservation stance. Obama cares about no one, not because he is evil or even selfish. It's not that sinister. Simply, Obama just needs a check up from the neck up. George Soros on the other hand...
