They would never try to indoctrinate school kids for Obama. Yeah, right.

I posted about the Obama indoctrination of school kids attempt that was made back earlier this month.  He was forced to make drastic changes to his plans only because people spoke up about it.

I got a lot of hate mail about this.  Lefties claiming I was crazy and that they would never teach children to worship or obey Obama and that I was over the edge on it.

Enjoy the video.  Hat tip to Hot Air.

Palin in Asia: Obama, take notes. This is what a real American says in a speech.

This is from a really long post at Atlas Shrugs.  I can’t emphasis more that you need to go to their post and read the whole thing.  I have been a fan of Sarah Palin for a long time.  One of the things that makes her such a good conservative is that her words and actions match perfectly.  She does not play the polls, she does what she thinks is right.  She doesn’t change her speeches to tell a specific crowd what they want to hear.

She is a true patriot and loves this country.  She wants to see America as the most powerful country in the world, like it was before Obama.  America is her country and she is willing to defend it.

If you want absolute proof that she is exactly what this country needs and would make our country much better, just look at how much the Dems and lefties hate her.  That is a glowing recommendation.

Anyway, she was in Hong Kong and gave a speech.  Read it all.

Alex Frangos reports from Hong Kong on Sarah Palin’s speech.

Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, delivered her first major international speech outside North America Wednesday in Hong Kong at an investor conference. The speech was closed to the media, but The Wall Street Journal reviewed a recording of the event. Here are some excerpts on various topics, from death panels to Chinese human rights.

U.S. DOMESTIC POLICY

On Conservatism:

You can call me a common-sense conservative. My approach to the issues facing my country and the world, issues that we’ll discuss today, are rooted in this common-sense conservatism… Common sense conservatism deals with the reality of the world as it is. Complicated and beautiful, tragic and hopeful, we believe in the rights and the responsibilities and the inherent dignity of the individual.

We don’t believe that human nature is perfectible; we’re suspicious of government efforts to fix problems because often what it’s trying to fix is human nature, and that is impossible. It is what it is. But that doesn’t mean that we’re resigned to, well, any negative destiny. Not at all. I believe in striving for the ideal, but in realistic confines of human nature…

On Liberalism:

The opposite of a common-sense conservative is a liberalism that holds that there is no human problem that government can’t fix if only the right people are put in charge. Unfortunately, history and common sense are not on its side. We don’t trust utopian promises; we deal with human nature as it is.

On what caused the financial crisis:

While we might be in the wilderness, conservatives need to defend the free market system and explain what really caused last year’s collapse. According to one version of the story, America’s economic woes were caused by a lack of government intervention and regulation and therefore the only way to fix the problem, because, of course, every problem can be fixed by a politician, is for more bureaucracy to impose itself further, deeper, forcing itself deeper into the private sector.

I think that’s simply wrong. We got into this mess because of government interference in the first place. The mortgage crisis that led to the collapse of the financial market, it was rooted in a good-natured, but wrongheaded, desire to increase home ownership among those who couldn’t yet afford to own a home. In so many cases, politicians on the right and the left, they wanted to take credit for an increase in home ownership among those with lower incomes. But the rules of the marketplace are not adaptable to the mere whims of politicians.

…

Lack of government wasn’t the problem. Government policies were the problem. The marketplace didn’t fail. It became exactly as common sense would expect it to. The government ordered the loosening of lending standards. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates low. The government forced lending institutions to give loans to people who, as I say, couldn’t afford them. Speculators spotted new investment vehicles, jumped on board and rating agencies underestimated risks.

Apparently the IRS watches Fox News. IRS says so long to ACORN

Bwahahaha.  Looks like the news is just getting worse and worse for ACORN.  I guess that’s what happens when your company motto is “No law is too good for us to break”

Actually, it seems like that is what happens to anyone who helps Obama.  He tosses you under the bus faster than you can blink and forgets he even heard of you.

Bertha Lewis may continue to request that we believe her rather than our eyes and the video produced by Big Government of ACORN staffers repeatedly offering assistance for tax evasion and hiding child prostitution, but the IRS has seen enough. The agency responsible for collecting the nation’s taxes and enforcing tax laws surprisingly doesn’t want to partner with a group that actively undermines their mission:

The IRS says it is severing ties with ACORN, the community activist group involved in a scandal after employees were caught on video giving advice to a couple posing as a prostitute and pimp.

The Internal Revenue Service said Wednesday it would no longer include ACORN in its volunteer tax assistance program. The program offered free tax advice to about 3 million low- and moderate-income tax filers this spring.

Americans more pissed under Obama than Bush.

Rasmussen always has interesting polls.

Republicans have a four-point advantage on the Generic Congressional Ballot.

Sixty-six percent (66%) are angry at the policies of the federal government and 60% say that neither Republican nor Democratic leaders understand what’s needed. Most say that people are more angry now than they were during the Bush Administration.

Michelle Malkin » Dems lied, transparency died: Senate Finance Committee nixes Obamacare online disclosure

The Dems do not want to listen to whiny citizens.  Dems do not want to have to have them know what is going on.  Hope and change.  Hope you don’t learn what we are doing to you and we will change things for the worse.

This was an Obama promise and it has never been fulfilled.

The Senate majority’s contempt for the American people rears its ugly head again. The Senate Finance Committee just voted down a GOP amendment requiring that Obamacare legislation be available online 72 hours before the panel votes. Instead, the Democrats offered to make “conceptual language” available.

Dems lied, transparency died:

Senate Finance Committee Democrats have rejected a GOP amendment that would have required a health overhaul bill to be available online for 72 hours before the committee votes.

Republicans argued that transparency is an Obama administration goal. They also noted that their constituents are demanding that they read bills before voting.

Gateway Pundit: Obama Attacks Israel at UN General Assembly

This idiot makes me want to scream.  He is attacking every ally and supporting ever enemy of the US.

Barack Obama just slammed Israel at the United Nations General Assembly this morning.
FOX News reported:

In declaring that it is time for Middle East peace "without preconditions," President Obama used his speech to the U.N. General Assembly Wednesday to fire a warning at Israel that "America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements."
Obama’s stark declaration, which drew applause, was coupled with a call for Palestinians to end their "incitement of Israel."
But it was the use of the U.N. forum to carry the settlement message to Israel that drew the most enthusiastic response on the floor — and incredulous reaction outside its walls.
Obama just put Israel "on the chopping block," said former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton.

“In today’s world the blather about free trade, free markets & the joys of competition is nothing but pablum for the suckers.” – Obama’s Manufacturing Czar

I hope that your company had no plans of wanting to compete in an open market. 

“In today’s world the blather about free trade, free markets & the joys of competition is nothing but pablum for the suckers.”

Who said it?

President Obama’s manufacturing czar, Ron Bloom — just one of the Democratic Socialists of America-tied radicals spotlighted in Trevor Loudon’s latest dossier.

The UN loves Barack Obama because he is weak – Telegraph

This is what the world thinks of us now.  We went from a world power to a world joke.  A leader need not be popular with his opponents.  He needs to lead.  Obama doesn’t do that.  When I see Obama, I see someone who hates the US and wants it destroyed.

Barack Obama’s Gallup approval rating of 52 percent may well be lower at this stage of his presidency than any US leader in recent times with the exception of Bill Clinton. But he is still worshipped with messiah-like adoration at the United Nations, and is considerably more popular with many of the 192 members of the UN than he is with the American people.

The latest Pew Global Attitudes Survey of international confidence in Obama’s leadership on foreign affairs shows strikingly high approval levels for the president in many parts of the world – 94 percent in Kenya, 93 percent in Germany, 88 percent in Canada and Nigeria, 77 percent in India, 76 percent in Brazil, 71 percent in Indonesia, and 62 percent in China for example. The Pew survey of 21 countries reveals an average level of 71 percent support for President Obama, compared to just 17 percent for George W. Bush in 2008.

As the figures indicate, Barack Obama is highly likely to receive a warm reception when he addresses the United Nations General Assembly today, whereas his predecessor in the White House was greeted with undisguised contempt and stony silence.

It is not hard to see why a standing ovation awaits the president at Turtle Bay. Obama’s popularity at the UN boils down essentially to his willingness to downplay American global power. He is the first American president who has made an art form out of apologizing for the United States, which he has done on numerous occasions on foreign soil, from Strasbourg to Cairo. The Obama mantra appears to be – ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do to atone for your country. This is a message that goes down very well in a world that is still seething with anti-Americanism.

Hot Air » Blog Archive » Zelaya return a bust?

So, Zelaya hides out in the Brazilian embassy because:

1. If he is arrested he will face trial for treason, theft, and attempting to take over the legal government by illegally changing the Constitution (he even faked the results of the illegal “vote”)
2. He would have been at the Venezuelan embassy, but he is trying to downplay his connections to Chavez.

He is a criminal who was removed from office by the legislative and judicial branches of their government with iron clad proof of his crimes.

Democracy in action.  A constitution, similar to ours, with checks and balances that were tested and found sound.  As a nation, we can look at Honduras and see a nation protected by its laws, living proof that the core of our Constitution is valid and works well.  The only people who would be upset by this are leftist dictators who want to act without having to answer to the law.

Like Zelaya’s good friend Chavez.  Like Zelaya’s good friend Castro.  Like Zelaya’s good friend Obama.

So, Obama is supporting a leftist dictator wanna-be.  Cutting of Honduras funding, revoking visas to officials, demanding that the criminal be put back into power.

He sneaks back into Honduras and calls his supporters to help him.  And they listen and show up.  All eighty-five of them…

The return of Manuel Zelaya to Honduras has not gone according to the leftists’ plans, according to a report by the AP this morning.  Instead of attracting throngs of supporters to carry him back to power, the deposed president has instead seen his small amount of supporters drift away from the Brazilian embassy, where Zelaya has been hiding since his surreptitious return to Tegulcigapa.  Even the Brazilians now seem less than enthusiastic about his presence:

Diplomats and activists streamed out of the increasingly isolated Brazilian Embassy in Honduras where ousted President Manuel Zelaya holed up with a shrinking core of supporters and relatives, prompting Brazil to urge the U.N. Security Council to guarantee the compound’s safety.

Zelaya’s backers ventured out at several points in Honduras’ capital to skirmish with police, after hundreds of their colleagues were routed by baton-wielding soldiers from the street in front of the embassy and police roadblocks sealed off the mission building Tuesday. Authorities denied local media reports that three people died in the confrontation. …

The government briefly set up loudspeakers near the embassy and shut off water and power to the building, apparently to harass Zelaya’s supporters inside. At least 85 Zelaya supporters and part of the embassy’s staff later left the building; none were detained. Services were later restored to the building.

Wow!  Zelaya got a whole eighty-five supporters to come to the Brazilian embassy, huh?  Impressive!  That’s about the size of the average college-football team, although it appears that most of those do a better job of rushing and tackling.

It’s not for lack of trying.  The UN apparently tried catering the event, sending a truck out for food.  Thanks to the crisis created entirely by Zelaya and a global community anxious to reinstall a leader removed for violating his country’s constitution, the only food they could find was hot dogs, which the UN dutifully delivered.

So now we find out the answer to the age-old question: what if you threw a revolution and no one came?  The answer is that the world will cater it for you, but for the most part, they will refuse to acknowledge that your revolution is remarkably unpopular.

ABC Notices Obama Administration’s Effort to Suppress Criticism of ObamaCare | NewsBusters.org

More fun under the Obama regime.  Criticism will be dealt with.

Keep in mind that nothing like this has been done to any group that speaks positively about Obamacare.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s decision to go to the Senate floor on Tuesday to call out the Obama administration for using the full power of a federal regulatory agency to suppress free speech — specifically, to silence Humana’s predictions about the impact of proposed ObamaCare cuts to the Medicare Advantage program — led ABC, but not CBS or NBC, to air a story on the “gag order.”   

ABC’s story began with a McConnell soundbite (“’Shut up,’ the government says, ‘don’t communicate with your customers. Be quiet and get in line,’”), before reporter Jonathan Karl explained McConnell was referring to the “Department of Health and Human Services, telling insurance companies who serve Medicare recipients, to stop ‘misleading’ and ‘confusing’ mailings, saying, quote: ‘We are instructing you to immediately discontinue all such mailings, and remove any related materials from your Web sites.’”
