Europe gives up its liberty

So you have never heard of this man? Well, click here to get a look at the new EU President who speaks of global governance and control.

BTW - The Europeans didn't vote for him either. But they gave up their rights years ago.

Herman Van Rompuy. Get used to the name. He is the first President of the European Union, which with the ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon by all the 27 EU member states in early November was transformed into a genuine United States of Europe.
The President of Europe has not been elected; he was appointed in a secret meeting of the heads of government of the 27 EU member states. They chose one of their own. Herman Van Rompuy was the Prime Minister of Belgium.

I remember John Fitzgerald Kennedy

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was killed 46 years ago this morning.

I was at the Naval Air Station near Memphis. I well remember the shock and outrage that someone would dare kill our President. By then he wasn't well liked but he was family. The successful cousin who fought and survived in the war that had killed other cousins, brothers, uncles and fathers and if he had screwed up in Cuba we forgave him for that. What he started in Vietnam was still to come.

He was ours to grouse and complain about but damn anyone's very soul if they should harm as much as a hair on his head. Jack Ruby's actions were perfectly understandable, regretted only by the thought that a slow hanging would have caused the assassin more pain.

We were tired of Eisenhower's patience and stability opting instead for change. If the Soviets had a Sputnik we wanted a Sputnik and if the Soviets had shot down our spy plane then we wanted a bigger faster better spy plane and if they had more missiles... we now know they didn't, Kennedy's campaign lied about that...we wanted more missiles.

Hard to believe in today's world, but we found the Democrats more defense minded than the Republicans. How incredibly stupid of us.

But we believed it then and elected Kennedy instead of "wumpie Jaws," as my father in law called Nixon. The election caused no discomfort. A brief mention was made of "irregularities in Illinois and Texas" but that was buried under the obvious relief of the media that the long night of Eisenhower leadership was over and that our new demi-gods would play touch football on lawns of such sized homes few of us had ever had, or seen, while their perfect marriages produced perfect children and it was our duty to bow before our new leaders.

It was the Camelot motif that started the fall of Kennedy and the press. We were a country that had just fought a war over a challenge to democracy and our Scot Irish heritage would brook no kings and queens in place of the dictators we had defeated. The similarities were just too many to be acceptable.

We didn't know the weakness of the man. We didn't know that he would think he could talk with the Soviets and all would be well. We didn't know that the Soviets would see this and understand they could bluff us out of Turkey and how Kennedy would feel that he must assert himself by opposing them in Vietnam.

No, we didn't know the cost of having a weak President.

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him;
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones,

Or so said Shakespeare's Antony of Caesar. And correctly he did speak.

Mary Landrieu sells Health Care Vote for $100 million

In other words, the bill spends two pages describing would could be written with a single world: Louisiana. (This may also help explain why the bill is long.)

Senator Harry Reid, who drafted the bill, cannot pass it without the support of Louisiana’s Mary Landrieu.

How much does it cost? According to the Congressional Budget Office: $100 million.

I had a real snarky remark about her selling her vote.

But I am not going to go there.

I'm not.

Really.

Don't you understand?

It's politics.

Selling themselves is what politicians do.

And a $100 million aint a bad price.

What do you expect? Her voting for the best interest of the country?

Hell. She is a D E M O C R A T.

Feds raid Gibson plant in Nashville.

Let me see....

They can't secure the borders and stop illegal immigration....

They can't figure out we have a Muslim terrorist in the Army, despite his actions....

They can't keep Wall Street from ripping us off to the tune of billions....

What can the Feds do???

An international crackdown on the use of endangered woods from the world's rain forests to make musical instruments bubbled over to Music City on Tuesday with a federal raid on Gibson Guitar 's manufacturing plant, but no arrests.

Yes sir, protecting those trees is A Number 1 on my hit parade of things we need to do. It just makes me so proud....NOT

Why the Left defends terrorists

You know, I use to think the defense of terrorists by trying to compare Christians and Jews' actions by the Left was them playing devil's advocate, and I refer to the Left in general because the ones who regularly comment in various venues can't mount an effective comment. They just mouth overhead statements with links to some lame stream media article with never any secondary links.
But I have come to see that, in general, members of the Left hate America and use any attack against enemies of the West as a method to jump in and attack the West. They did it for years with communism and have now just slid over to the extremist Muslims.
It is always, "Yes but...." Some of them do not know that they are (trying) to give moral equivalence to extremists who hate the West. Some do. Like their past members and communism, some were communists, some were fellow travelers and some were, as Lenin is reputed to have said, "useful fools." The Left is not one specific model.
But one thing is true. While Joe McCarthy’s tactics were wrong, there really were communists in the government. And, as Hasan has just shown, there really are radical Muslims in the military. And I see no reason to think that there aren’t some in government.
But I digress. Back to the Left.
The Left’s hypocrisy is startling. Supposedly they are for minority rights.... Supposedly they demand fair trials and justice for all... Yet what we see is them, at best, providing a weak...if at all.... condemnation of the Muslim extremists while condemning the West in general and Christians, Jews and America specifically. That the extremists they support would gladly chop off their heads and/or stone, hang, etc., them for not totally obeying the "law" seems to never reach their minds.
Of course 99% of this comes from our education system and from the media. Both have turned against our culture. This came from the radicals of the 60's moving into our universities... that has now filtered down to our state universities and junior colleges. It is now moving into K-12.
The results can be seen with the election of Obamie the Bower. Supposedly smart, his ignorance about America and lack of love for the country that elected him is always on display.
Where is all of this going to lead? I confess I don’t know. I would like to tell you that the American voter will become disgusted and vote Obamie the Bower and his minions out, starting in 2010. So I have Hope for Change.
