Obama wins Nobel…Komrad

 

In selecting Obama for the Nobel Peace prize, The Committee has gone beyond soiling itself in choosing leftists as winners. The man has accomplished nothing in the area of peace beyond rhetoric. His only real accomplishments are government take overs, printing money, and appeasing unions! For a roundup of previous lefties to receive the award read here. I hope people realize this award is not a resume builder.

Van Jones – The Company you keep

This may seem like beating a dead horse but it is important to not loose sight of the issue here. Obama surrounds himself with extreme people. Warning, some language is offensive…

Watch here.

 

Congress demands hearings after President’s talk with Schools

The House Majority Leader stated:

“The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising for the president, it should be helping us to produce smarter students, And the president should be doing more about education than saying, ‘Lights, camera, action.’”

Of course this is not the current congress asking why President Obama is once again in front of the cameras, this time broadcasting to millions of school children. No the above quote was from then House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt when H.W. Bush spoke to children in 1991.

Hidden Love for the UAW in Obama Health Care Bill

If the current House Health Bill passes, the rest of us will be sending billions to the UAW to support union retirees. It is unbelievable that these politicians are so comfortable with taking our money and giving it to their supporters. Since when did these union retires rate more than other hardworking Americans that have lost huge in this down turn? I just hope we wake up soon.

Tea Party – Sacramento Style

Our second Tea Party here in Sacramento and it was another great turn out with super speakers as well as some of the nicest people you will meet in this great state of ours. Special issues included water and jobs as California approaches 12% unemployment and a growing state government.

Obama’s Science Czar is perhaps his scariest.

 

Obama’s appointment to the position of Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, John Holdren, shows again how leftist our current president is. The most compelling description of his positions is in a book he co-authored in 1977 entitled Ecoscience. An example can be found on page 837 where Holdren pushes the idea compulsory abortions:

Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.

The book is out of print but more examples can be found at zombietime.

Clueless Democrats = State of California Collapse

California is bankrupt and hemorrhaging businesses and people (also known as tax payers) in record numbers. California has been run into the ground by decades of liberal control of our state. Despite the collapse democrats still do not get it. Eric Hogue gives some great examples. First up is Noreen Evans who believes:

“Well, there is this mantra out there – “live within our means” – and while that sounds really nice…and it sounds really responsible, it’s meaningless. Our means are completely within our control. We have just given away huge corporate subsidies in February; we have given away other tax reductions over many, many years; we’ve created tax loopholes; in good times, we routinely give away taxes, and then in lean times we never replace those tax deductions or close those loopholes. So “live within our means” doesn’t mean anything. The fact is, we have a state with a population that have [sic] needs that we have a moral obligation to provide.”

Ouch. While we are writing IOUs what is the congress doing? Well among other things cow tails. Really. How about chicken cages in other states. Even the Bee recognizes that

Economists predict Proposition 2, on its own, will drive up imports of cheap, conventionally produced eggs, pushing many in-state farms out of business.

Those are weasel words for the cost of eggs will go up. Note to the Bee and liberals: Cheap is good, especially to people struggling in a down economy.

A few photos from the 4th of July Tea Party Parade in my home town or Roseville, California. I have to admit I was concerned that a tax “protest” was the wrong idea at a 4th of July parade. The group was great and I was glad to see them out again. It was also a refreshing change from another recent protest at our capitol by state[ist] union members.

 

Soviet Style Block Housing in Our Future?

Our clueless Energy Secretary Steven Chu is now proposing that we can solve energy and more importantly for him Global Warming by moving people into small, much smaller, apartments.

It’s not widely believed you can do this in a cost-effective way, and so I think we can develop design tools to help people actually design buildings to do this.

You read stories in Europe where there are in small apartments zero-net energy consumption apartments. There is–you know, body heat keeps a lot of the apartment warm. You can’t do this in a big apartment with a few people.

Steven Chu is also responsible for wonderful ideas such as painting roofs white and raising the price of gas because it is good for us (Hint to Mr. Chu Energy drives our economy and prosperity).

While traveling through much of the former Eastern Block I have seen that is what the statist governments did as well. Does not surprise me this is where this guy is going.

Obama can only hope the GOP will not do as he does

ABC News observes that President Obama is the first (and only) president to have voted to filibuster a Supreme Court nominee. Apparently the GOP is not considering a filibuster but Obama has already set a demanding timetable to get his nomination through. In 2006 then Senator Obama voted for a filibuster on Samuel Alito stating:

“…I think Judge Alito, in fact, is somebody who is contrary to core American values, not just liberal values, you know. When you look at his decisions in particular during times of war, we need a court that is independent and is going to provide some check on the executive branch, and he has not shown himself willing to do that repeatedly.”

Just as remarkable is that Sonia Sotomayor is anything but independent. Both share similar philosophies, the core of which is viewing the constitution as a hindrance to their social agendas.

TN County Considers Special Protection Based on Sexual Orientation

Shelby County, TN is set to vote on an ordinance that would grant special protection based on sexual orientation and gender identity. In addition to special privileges it appears the ordinance would would directly impact contractors who do not support the gay agenda. Section 12-127, for instance, states:

Discrimination by a contractor who contracts with Shelby County Government against a contractor’s employee on the basis of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity or Expression shall be prohibited. (c) Discrimination by a private Employer in an unincorporated area of Shelby County against any person employed by such private Employer on the basis of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity or Expression is prohibited, subject to the limitations in state law and the Shelby County Charter. (d) The provisions of this article pertaining to contractors shall only apply to contracts with Shelby County Government for which an RFP, or any sealed bid or proposal is issued after July 1, 2009.

The vote is expected this Monday July 1st, 2009.

Alameda School District forces Gay Curriculum

With a 3-2 vote the Alameda School district voted to force a gay curriculum for its students, starting in kindergarten. The move was done under the pretext of reducing bullying but opens the door to push a gay agenda to all students. Most disconcerting is that parents can not opt out of the teaching and that other more severe issues were not being addressed such as racism. The intent is to: to teach respect for gay and lesbian families and students. With the battle raging over gay marriage and proposition 8 we are being drawn away from the real battle ground which is to force us, starting with our children, to embrace and respect a life style we find immoral.

Howard Dean in 2004: “Military experience is vital”

Kevin Gregory at McClatchy Watch has a great quote by Howard Dean in 2004:

“The real issue is this,” Dean said in March 2004, when endorsing formal rival Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., “Who would you rather have in charge of the defense of the United States of America, a group of people who never served a day overseas in their life, or a guy who served his country honorably and has three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star on the battlefields of Vietnam?”

McCain, by the way, has been awarded the Silver Star, the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Star Medals, a Purple Heart and the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Charming Burka

The more I look at burkas the more I think of women wrapped in grave clothes or lepers. It is beyond repressive, it casts women as diseased, ugly, and dead. It is because of these wonderful attributes that a firm in Germany decided that it would use the burka to market its ideas:

…because it is often perceived in the west as a symbol of repression.

This is how liberals think, really. The choice was made because it was perceived as negative, not because it is positive. Kind of hard to find anything positive about wearing grave clothes imposed by men who are allowed to beat you. Narrowing the point is that liberals will choose to support bad things (such as burkas and Islamic law) that should be contrary to their beliefs only if it is in conflict with Christian values.
