Why Go Out and Vote for Some Fool Who's Just Going to Get Us All KILLED . . . ?

Liz Cheney's Keep America Safe grades each and every US House and Senate member on what kind of job they're doing in their most primary of duties... guarding this country against foreign military and/or terrorist attack-

Elizabeth Cheney

But if you've got some death wish or feel guilty about being an American -like so many quislings on the Left- and/or are possessed by some bizarre compulsion to surrender promptly to Al Qaida, then by all means vote to keep these sort of trembling jellyfish in office...

Meanwhile, the rest of us are going to march right-into that booth -just 10 weeks from today- and put the warped medieval malcontents of AQ and in Tehran -not to mention Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez, and Kim Jong Il- on notice that we will indeed defend our national security and way of life... and fight them like tigers if necessary:

[Urgent note to Ron Paul Libertarians... wake up]

Those harboring any residual doubt as to the nature of the terrorist enemy would do themselves -and the country- a great service by self-administering a dose of cold reality, stat.  And what better way than the terrorists' own boasts of gruesome schemes already headed down the pike -here-

Yes-We-Can (Get Laughed-At by an Eccentric Tin Pot Dictator)

Doesn't look like many countries take Obama and Hillary very seriously, does it?  And the reason it appears that way is because they don't. Time to break-out another goofy "restart" button, perhaps? 

(good luck spelling it right in Korean this time).

Dear Leader Comrade Generalissimo Kim Jong Il 

(I hear he's  one-hell-of-a-golfer ) somehow doesn't seem to have fallen under the charms of Obama's hollow schmoozing one bit.   Rather, sensing weakness, the communist North Korean regime responded to the conciliatory gestures with nothing but contempt and aggression.  The flurry of nuclear testing and missile launches timed for our Memorial Day weekend was yet the latest "diplomatic statement" from the pugnacious, Stalinist 

Hermit Kingdom.

Of course, it never really made a lot of sense to try and deal in good faith and "reach out" to a dark, evil, and Machiavellian regime that would "hate" Mickey Mouse if he was US president- and for a refresher, has shot-down civilian airliners, operates a cruel police-state with a chain of torture/concentration camps... and even had plans to assassinate Reagan on his visit to Korea's DMZ in 1983.  

So it's hard to imagine that a grown-man like Obama truly believed that Pyongyang was reasonable, trustable... and cuddle-able.  The difference with this president is that they will not only hate him, but will despise and disrespect him deeply for his cowardice, naivete, and lack of resolution.  Of course,  a man with all the diplomatic experience and strategic/moral clarity that Obama and Hillary lack -like say, a John Bolton- could have told you this is exactly how it would play out with Obama's appeasement-based posture... as he did. 

Sadly, all Team Obama are really considering is the same kind of "deal" that serial-failure Jimmy Carter talked Bill Clinton into ten years ago: bribing Pyongyang with fuels and food to stop their development of nuclear weapons and ICBMs, while they graciously accept our gifts and continue to do just as they please at secret, underground sites... and serruptitiously selling nuclear know-how to our other enemies like Syria and Iran.

Pyongyang is currently developing -and has now tested- it's longest range ICBM, one specifically designed to carry a nuclear warhead. The Taepodong-2 missile has a 6000 km range, bringing Alaska and even possibly the west coast of the US within range... and right as the misguided Obama seeks the cancellation of many of America's defense programs.

Although many still in the ether don't realize it yet, Obama is in a tailspin on the economy, ethics, and foreign policy.  Nobody that has any sense of how the world works respects (nor fears) him... and that includes Wall St., the military, the Kremlin, Tehran, Caracas, or Pyongyang.  

Somehow all the talk of how Kim is this crackpot eccentric while Obama is portrayed as all-knowing and wise doesn't quite square with reality when the "crackpot" is running circles around our flawless messiah.  This is the same oblivious President Obama that was apparently busy with his puppy-vetting process or playing basketball while the Russians where nabbing our Afghan supply air-base in Kyrgizstan 

In addition to his ethical and fiscal follies, Barack Obama is endangering our national security, a failure of his most primary duty as president... maybe we should draw a line here? 

The luxury of living in a celebrity-driven/liberal/MSM fantasy world is not a right that Obama supporters can cling-to indefinitely, as it's both the voters and the press' duty to make informed, responsible, good-faith decisions... not waste power making a self-indulgent PC fashion statement instead.  And it's getting to the point where this kind of willfully-ignorant "thinking" is not just irresponsible, but dangerous.  Obamania's sheeple are deeply delusional, and in desperate need of deprogramming... as the misguided Obama's enablers, these fools are going to get us killed.

Ruthless, insatiable foes clearly have no reason to take seriously a smiley plastic mannequin like Obama, they know he's not going to do anything.  He was hoping to half-surrender to everyone on his recent international glad-handing tours and have Gates handle Iraq and Afghanistan- in order to buy us some peace and tranquility for him to focus on his real pet project, a radical, far-left domestic agenda... but events tend to have a way of intervening-

I would say that we should now expect for Tehran to deal Obama even greater defeats... except for the fact that tiny Israel will likely be saving us from our folly.   Obama, like Jimmy Carter, is making the US into an impotent, irrelevant bystander as events take their course, and nations like Russia and China fill the leadership vacuum.  Allies such as Israel will be plotting a more independent course in the interest of self-preservation... and will -like our enemies- simply ignore Obama.

The White House is likely working diligently on how to offer-up a speech or statement full of empty platitudes and ludicrous apologies (as in Prague)... do nothing about Pyongyang's defiance... and then blame it all on someone else.  But the problem with this standard Obama default strategy is that Democrats Bill Clinton and ex-President Carter are the ones who created this mess ten years ago... and our new president has adopted the identical, failed policy lock-stock-and-barrel.  

If you're American or one of our allies, and not scared with Barack Obama as US Commander-in-Chief yet...  you sure ought to be.  

Yes-We-Can Internet Op Morphs Into Orwellian Thought-Control

What was accomplished by Team Obama in last fall's presidential campaign regarding the Internet has been widely considered to be historic- changing the way that political campaigns are organized, strategized,  financed, and implemented.   


Julius Genachowski -who worked on the Harvard Law Review with Obama- is the high-tech entrepreneur behind the use of  technology in the presidential campaign. He is the one that convinced Obama that the Web had powerful implications for his ideas about "empowerment" and connecting people. 

But Obama's 2008 campaign has never ended- it's now employed to to push-through massive spending programs and other initiatives, as well as keep real (and perceived) enemies back-on-their-heels.   Barack is still out there on the stump, on YouTube, in tightly scripted-and-'Prompted pressers... with continuing grassroots door-to-door operations and TV ads funded by the DNC. Of course, Team Obama web-based efforts continue as a high priority... and this seems to include a comprehensive and organized effort to control political discourse on the Internet-with a disciplined message and Obamamania cheerleading, coupled with Alinsky-style attacks and diversions when useful.  

According to Politico, "Obama for America, the fundraising juggernaut that powered Obama's ascent to the presidency, spent nearly $9.5 million in the first three months of this year", including on telemarketing and print and online advertising, event staging, money for the DNC, the Obama political group Organizing for America, and the Obama family. The report also shows that Obama for America contributed $4 million to the DNC.  Organizing for America is funded by the DNC... and operates Obama's continuing effort on the web.

Vladimir Lenin had said of the cutting-edge media of his day: "Of all the arts, for us (communists), the cinema is most important."  The Bolshevik was clearly not referring to artistic or cultural value of the film industry; rather, cinema's usefulness as a medium for propaganda and tool of agitation.  


Today's equivalent -the Internet- is more far-reaching, wide-ranging, powerful, and effective than Vlad ever dreamed of.  But it's also harder to control-  thus the unprecedented efforts we are seeing from Team Obama to both utilize and contain it.

And the Democrats appear to have all avenues covered:  far-left to moderate, as well as more innocuous Hope-n-Changey blogs supporting the President; systematic trolling on blogs' comments sections; manipulating political message boards; mass-rating of news items on aggregators such as Digg, etc.  Team Obama also installed tracking-cookies on the computers of those visiting the Obama '08 website to track their online history for use in a DNC data base.

And anyone reading message boards these days -such as Politico, Topix, or Yahoo!- can see what appears to be organized Obama-ites jumping on fresh conversation threads thoroughly and promptly, gaming the ratings-system with multiple IDs (I once had a message on Yahoo! rated over 100 times- curiously, with zero written responses)- as well as attempting any other imaginable manipulation perceived to be to their propaganda advantage.  Sometimes, the goal seems simply to clog the board with so many new posts and topics as to render conservative messages unreadable.

There are taunting statements and personal attacks on what they call the "cons"- burying their posts in gobbledygook.  Steer the topic.  Change the subject.  Deflect and divert. And they're at it all day long- in a comprehensive and systematic way.  It is hard to avoid the conclusion that there are organized trolls attempting to hijack and control all internet debate, all to maintain momentum for The One as he rams-through an ultra-liberal agenda while also focused on 2010... and 2012.

Using ID's as "Little Bam" and "USA_4_Obama", you see them on there spinning every reality like the Tasmanian Devil...  i.e.- the New Deal was just great (but perhaps not big enough), everybody loves Barack, all his opponents are retrograde racist/anti-progressives in the "Party of No"... or are somehow allied with the evil and greedy "rich".  

They interestingly stick tightly to DNC talking-points ala JournoList regarding Michael Steele, Rush Limbaugh, anything to trash Palin, Jindal... even shameful slander of Ronald Reagan's legacy, all in an obvious effort to distort the truth and destroy any potential GOP rallying-points for 2010/2012.  They seem to be working off the same list of accusations, targets, and historical revisionism as the White House and their media allies- as they display precious little variance that would indicate free-thinking, good faith discourse.   

And it's not difficult to see why the Democrats might prefer to banter playfully about made-up GOP "scandals" and irrelevancies like Meghan McCain's latest drivel than debate Obama's ongoing destruction of the country.  When most of his domestic and foreign policies are a carbon copy of serial-failure Jimmy Carter's, and there's no other historical prededent to suggest potential for success -and when today's Republicans demand proven solutions- might as well just attack them personally, or employ some diversion, eh? 

Breitbart.com actually polices nonpartisan newswire stories for such obviously coordinated attacks. According to Andrew Breitbart "Much of Mr. Obama’s vaunted online strategy involved utilizing “Internet trolls” to invade enemy lines under false names and trying to derail discussion.  In the real world, that’s called “vandalism.” But in a political movement that embraces “graffiti” as avant-garde art , that’s business as usual. It relishes the ability to destroy other people’s property in pursuit of electoral victory."  Other right-leaning sites such as Instapundit and Nadtional Review Online even refuse to allow comments, so as to not provide a platform for the mischievious activist left. 

Sadly, similar efforts from the Democrats have been with us for some time, and in various forms. During the Clinton impeachment scandal, a then-new leftist group out of California called MoveOn.org employed a plan to get its members to dial into right-leaning talk radio shows such as Rush Limbaugh with scripted talking points falsely claiming that they were Republicans. They then feigned revulsion and said they "would never vote for the GOP again if the case against Bill Clinton was pursued."  The same MoveOn.org is, of course, today in the vanguard of the web's leftist-activists.

"This is nothing more than the Internet version of Soviet disinformation," Human Events editor Jed Babbin told Brietbart. "MoveOn.org and the little boys from Lord of the Flies who run Media Matters want to make it appear that there's huge dissension within conservative ranks on issues on which we're most united."  

Breitbart continued:  "The right, for the most part, embraces basic Judeo-Christian ideals and would not promote nor defend the propaganda techniques that were perfected in godless communist and socialist regimes. The Huffington Post, Daily Kos and other left-leaning sites benefit from the right's belief that there are rules and decorum in political debate and civic engagement. Of course, every now and then, a curious right-winger will go in and engage in discussion at a left-wing site, but rarely under purely disingenuous and mass coordinated means."

I myself have received numerous hostile messages that ring similar and hollow on this blog, the Reaganite Republican Resistance- and I moderate them for that reason:  it's not the specious taunting, but there's a transparent focus and agenda.  This includes repeated messages by the same two or three of the same people attacking the GOP, Reagan, or myself; kindly reminding me that "Ronnie is dead, and so are his ideas"; "the GOP has no leader", I'm a "racist" and a "coward" not to post their messages;  then telling me what mental-problems I have (they obviously operate under the directive that no conservative message should go unchallenged- so do what it takes).  Note that one of Alisky's most valued techniques is "ridicule" to "provoke" the "target" into responding.

Creatively, one of these online charlatans has now taken to informing me that he has "Republican friends who complained that I wouldn't publish their messages"- which is, naturally, sheer fiction- I publish anything that doesn't reek of troll.  There have also been a dozen dubious "I'm a Republican", but shouldn't we all "just get along" and "give Obama a chance"- with almost identical scripts... while the real Obama we're supposed to try and get-along-with charges an ultra-liberal multi-trillion-dollar spending orgy to your great-grandkids' Visa-card.   Things that make you go hmmm.

Young and net-savvy Obama campaign manager David Plouffe has admitted that there is such a web-based effort in support of Obama... he runs it... and it's funded by the DNC:

"David Plouffe, who ran Obama's campaign, now runs "Organizing for America" out of the Democratic National Committee. It uses the same Web-based tactics that won the presidency to mobilize public opinion behind Obama's initiatives." 

The Yes-We-Can wolfpacks on the blogs and message boards may be paid by this program, but who knows-  Plouffe is notoriously stingy with campaign funds.  Regardless, there is surely a  residual supply of enthusiastic volunteers to staff any effort he has organized to flood the net.  Mr. Plouffe operates out of the DNC's offices-- same place the anti-Limbaugh ads came from (some even is Spanish) to dovetail with attacks from Obama, Emanuel, and their media allies.  The DNC is basically evolving into a propaganda ministry for Obama- now with Plouffe bringing ACORN-style community-organizing to the web to support Obama's agenda. 

But employing such a manipulation on blogs and message-boards serepticiously is really not clever, slick, or anything to be proud of... rather, it's underhanded, cowardly, and ethically dubious. If Obama's wisdom and moral supremacy are so self-evident, then why such fear of an open discussion of the issues? 

It's all pretty anti-democratic... un-American... and the whole thing stinks like trash-truck juice: an appalling mix of internet-savvy trickery and borderline fraud, Chicago-Machine thuggery, with a little ITAR-Tass mixed-in.  Such efforts to control public discourse are far more totalitarian-propagandist Stalin-Goebbels-Castro than the fair-play democracy of Washington-Jefferson-Lincoln.  The development and implementation of such tactics by Team Obama should be disturbing to anyone who values the good-faith discourse traditional in our country. 

President Obama is apparently not satisfied with just purporting false intentions and misleading, vague "plans" -like that he intends to halve the deficit while simultaneously spending like a billion drunken sailors-  he has also felt the need to fund a propaganda campaign to drill what he wants (and needs) you to believe into your head... and while neutralizing any opposing voices. But the recent TEA parties seems to have stuck a nerve with the President and his sycophants... they showed that many of the less-smitten amongst us are fast becoming wise to this habitually-dishonest closet socialist. 

Now we are told that pending legislation before the US Congress would allow Obama the power to shut down the entire Internet whenever he deems appropriate- talk about the wolf guarding the henhouse.

According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation "The group (EFF) is particularly worried about the Commander-in-Chief becoming Commander-of-the-Web. It says the bill gives the president “unfettered authority to shut down Internet traffic in an emergency and disconnect critical infrastructure systems on national security grounds.” The bill would permit the White House to declare a "cybersecurity emergency" and shut down or limit Internet traffic in any network the president declares "critical." 

And it's uber-partisan and serial-opportunist Rahm Emanuel that will have the President's ear regarding just what constitutes such an emergency. After the disturbing, politically-motivated DHS report on "right-wing extremists" -in addition to relentless Team Obama online shenanigans- it's pretty difficult to make the case for why we should trust the Machiavellian Obama Administration with the most powerful communication medium that's the world's ever seen- one that ruthless revolutionary and pioneering-propagandist Lenin surely would have stood before in awe... and envy.

Obama's TEA Party Counter-Strategy: Lie, Deny, and Falsify

On April 15th, 2600 TEA party events were held nationwide...  in over 800 cities... and with an estimated quarter-million protesters.   Inexplicably, President Obama stated he "wasn't aware" of the TEA parties ... a condescending, far-fetched claim devoid of any credibility whatsoever.

  

Isn't it an amazing coincidence that the President delivered an uncharacteristically upbeat economic assessment the very day before the protests (that he never heard of)?  And on that same day had his subservient, politicized Department of Homeland Security release a report laden with unsubstantiated assumptions warning of "right-wing radicals" and their alleged propensity towards violence?  Now it comes out that Napolitano hurriedly forced the report out over protests of her own staff experts on civil rights-   Why did she ignore their professional, legitimate concerns... and rush publication prior to completion of the standard review?  Some time pressure/deadline from above, perhaps?

  

Napolitano's use of Oklahoma City in 1995 certainly is an intriguing example of how US military veterans are supposedly some sort of threat to us all.  That bombing was a single event, staged almost 14 years ago-  hasn't Al Qaida staged hundreds of attacks on US interests since then? Why so little mention of them since she was appointed three months ago- isn't keeping a lid on those medieval savages 80% of her job description? Isn't that why the Department of Homeland Security created in the first-place?

Apparently there is no bounds to what government assets Obama will prostitute for his own purposes... while neglecting daunting, actual threats in the meantime. All who wondered why Obama chose this obedient toady to head Homeland Security now have their answer:  a serious choice who would have been focused upon real terrorist threats -not imaginary, partisan ones- like, say, a Rudolph Giuliani, wouldn't have been a willing participant is such a sham report.  And anyone who expected Obama to place the nation's interests above those of his own hasn't really done their homework on how he got this far in the first place.

The DHS report also claimed inaccurately that former Army gunner Timothy McVeigh used his "military training" as preparation for the attack he perpetrated- when in-fact, he learned to make bombs after his time in the military- by his own admission.  In the Oklahoma City attack, no guns were employed whatsoever-  but if Napolitano and Obama are willing to slander our brave vets to serve their far-left agenda and own political security, mangling facts into what they need them to be likely won't trouble them a bit.  That's the kind of "values" one obtains coming-up in the corrupt Chicago Machine- where nothing is sacred, not principle, ethics, heroes, religion, the Constitution... nothing, except obtaining, gaining, and retaining power.

Now, seven GOP Senators have  signed a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano asking for the proof upon which her department based its accusatory report on so-called right-wing extremism in the United States.  The seven take Napolitano to task for nakedly-partisan generalizations that imply half the electorate is prone to employing terrorism merely because they hold right-of-center political views.  In the eyes of today's White House, it is now a threat to the country to sincerely care about the nation's future and demand proven solutions rather than a socialist fantasy-world, or even adherence to the Constitution upon which this country was founded.

And while Team Obama was surely disappointed that there were no useful displays of racism, violence, or vandalism resulting from the TEA parties for them exploit in discrediting their opponents, that didn't stop Democrats and their sycophants in the MSM from misrepresenting and slandering these good faith protesters none-the-less.  Some Democrats in congress, such as Chicago's own Jan Schakowsky (a member of the House Democratic leadership), blasted the tea parties as a "despicable" and "shameful political stunt" that was the product of "groups of right-wing activists and fueled by Fox News".  CNN and NBC mocked the participants with puerile sex jokes and bizarre allegations that "white power" was the true agenda.  Network interviews with the protesters were soaking with partisan contempt and condescension.  

Obama and the DNC are surely well-organized and disciplined when it comes to message control, but that just makes it all the easier for us to see what they're up-to... since they and their drones all then have the exact, same take on events.  With cloned mockery and "revulsion" towards the TEA parties -and with indentical attacks upon them- anyone reading political message boards such as Politico or Topix -or lefty-blogs like HuffPo and the Daily Kos- couldn't help but notice Obama allies sticking tightly to the talking points employed by Rep. Schakowsky, MSNBC, and CNN:  paint the TEA party protesters as "kooks", "racists", and/or "crazy" far-right anti-progressives with a tendency towards violence, tools of the business establishment or "rich" who "don't want to pay their fair share of taxes", who are being "used" by Fox News and/or the RNC... all the while mocking them with unfunny "tea-bagging" jokes- per Alinsky's Rule #5:

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.   

Above all, the primary defensive talking point of "Obama cut your taxes, what are you protesting?" was employed by the President, his staff, Democrats in Congress, as well as both new and old MSM-media in a constant refrain- a textbook example of lying by omission. In contrast, Governor Haley Barbour (R-Miss) has called Obama's cap-n-trade carbon taxes the "largest tax increase in American history"- as they are likely to increase the cost of almost everything, including a 30% layer of Obamamania-dues on top of your current electric bill.

Can anyone say with a straight-face that the monstrous inflation that will result from Obama's print-money spending-spree isn't a stealth tax increase, as well? If not, it's one hell of a cut in spending power- what's the difference?

And the Democrats know as well as anyone that when their trillion-dollar deficits pressure the dollar, the only thing left to do will be crank-up taxes on the job-creating "rich" that Obama's Marxist-professor mentors taught him to see as class-enemies. With China now dumping dollars in favor of copper-reserves, UK debt action failures, and calls for a world-currency to replace the greenback, does planning on borrowing a trillions from Beijing over the next decade seem like a good idea... or even a viable possibility?

The diversionary tactic of "I already cut your taxes" -while sneaking-in every back-door increase imaginable- is only pretending to not know what the protesters are saying. And what they are saying is that the Obama-Pelosi-Reid triumvirate  need to get their damn mitts out of the cookie-jar... and now.  We also all know that the deficits aren't going away by themselves- so quit insulting our intelligence by pretending that nobody will have to pay for this reckless spending and crushing debt... plus interest. 

  

President Obama presenting himself as some sort of deficit and spending hawk just three days after signing the "stimulus" bill -the largest spending bill in US history- was an insulting charade. The spending of trillions that we don't have obviously will lead to far higher taxes in the future, be it two, five, or seven years from now- and Obama's acting like such deficits will have no effect on future tax policy is as dishonest as it is nonsensical.  

This spending, resultant stratospheric debt, and subsequent day of reckoning is precisely what the TEA parties were protesting, and the answer to their concerns is not some short-term policy utilized to send a check to millions of Obama supporters who have never paid taxes in their life.

 

As their reward for honestly facing the glaring, unsettling reality that Obama purposely obsfucates, and taking time-off from their busy lives to make a statement in a peaceful and sincere manner, these new American patriots were called terrorists, radicals, nuts, and worse. And President Obama has made it abundantly clear that he's doesn't give a rat's ass what they think. 

Since when did anyone start accepting such Machiavellian maneuvering and prevarication as desirable qualities in a US president?  Barack Obama is way, way out-of-line... and needs to be called on his misrepresentations and hidden agenda.  The more this hubristic, ultra-liberal megalomaniac can be embarrassed as he was on Wednesday, the better. And momentum will now be building towards the next protests, this time not on a scheduled work-day... July 4th, 2009.   

Seems like the TEA parties are already starting to have some desirable effects... and there's plenty more where that came from.  Good job everyone, thanks for your efforts- and 

God Bless America.

Note-  included above are some photos of the sort of far-right extremists with a propensity towards violence that attended the TEA parties... just so you know what to look-out for, and can hide your daughters when you see them coming.  Thanks for the heads-up, Ms. Napolitano-
