dimocrats and gop idiots get the message….

Sorry for being hit and miss of late.

My neighbor, a great young man just starting business as an insurance agent, passed away suddenly last week, and a good friend of mine is fighting for his life in California.

Death always seems close at hand.

May God bless them. 

Rush: Obama's Candidate Losing in New Jersey is Like "Stalin Being Defeated in Moscow, Like Castro Being Defeated in Cuba"....

Coming down with a case of scozzafave.

While it would have been a great emotional boost if Hoffman has pulled it out last night in NY-23, his loss to a left-wing incumbent by only 5 percent means that given six months to campaign—not 30 days—and even minimal support of the GOP, he would have won.

Republicans should remember this race for the object lesson it is.

The true colors of the republican party were in full array: “conservatives be damned, we’ll lay down with anyone—even a pro-abortion, pro-ObamaCare left-winger if we think it best for the party.”

That’s right…. today’s GOP leadership does not care about America nearly as much as it does the Republican Party.

• Former conservative Newt Gingrich endorsed Scozzafave and criticized those who welcomed Hoffman’s candidacy.
• The GOP spent $1 million for ads attacked Hoffman

This should not be forgotten by anyone who has pulled a lever for a Republican.

Last tear the GOP allowed itself to be brainwashed once again to nominate the "so-called “moderate”—John “Maverick” McCain… well, how’s that workin’ out for us now?

The next time you get a GOP begging-for-dollars appeal in the mail, just write “Scozzafave” on the damned thing and send it back. 

Regardless of the New York race which was really never in doubt, this was the first post-tea party-9/12 response from We The People.

And while it wasn’t exactly Bunker Hill, it was a significant enough shot across Obama’s bow that he spent the night ignoring the elections returns in favor of watching himself star in his version of Triumph of the Will.

Let’s see… that was Lie #374 by my count since I first realized that “Obama” wasn’t just another kind of “Sham-Wow”.

Elections aside, the vote on Marxist health care for America is the most important bill that threatens to become law since  

And speaking of… the photo graphically portrays just one major difference between the Republican health care reform bill,    and the Marxists’ version of redistribution of wealth:

And here’s another fifth-columnist pro-Marxist group in full Obama mode:

WASHINGTON (AP)- Officials are telling The Associated Press that AARP will endorse the health care overhaul bill that House Democrats are preparing to take to the floor.

 Officials with knowledge of the group's decision told The Associate Press on Wednesday that the senior's lobby has decided to give the $1.2 trillion measure its seal of approval. An announcement is expected Thursday. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement has not been made.

The endorsement, in advance of floor votes as early as this weekend, would be a major boost for President Barack Obama's signature issue.   (Breitbart via WeasleZipper.com).

If you’re an AARP member, resign; if they solicit your membership…. give them a big scozzafave.

I missed it because I almost never watch “network” news… but ABC aired “V” last night…. a full-on sci-fi indictment of the Obama take over of the United States.

For those who also missed it, here’s the link to the impressive 9-minute preview from ABC.

The “visitors” who arrive in a “Close Encounters”-sized mother ship, promise hope and change, peace and most importantly…. universal health care.

I am stunned that this made it past ABC’s Obama puppets.

Look familiar????:

In Obama's America…. there are no coincidences

Joseph Ashby of the American Thinker—not the NYT or WaPo or CBS—reports:

“The plot thickens on the media’s character-lynching of Rush Limbaugh. Of the four stories run on ESPN.com about Limbaugh’s bid for the Rams (October 6, October 12, October 15, and another October 15) none of them mention that NFL Players Association Executive Director Maurice Smith served as counsel to Attorney General Eric Holder and was a member of Barack Obama’s transition team.”

Obviously out to torpedo Limbaugh’s bid to join the ownership of the St. Louis Rams, Smith sent an e-mail to the union's executive committee last Saturday which stated:

I've spoken to the Commissioner [Roger Goodell] and I understand that this (Limbaugh’s) ownership consideration is in the early stages. But sport in America is at its best when it unifies, gives all of us reason to cheer, and when it transcends. Our sport does exactly that when it overcomes division and rejects discrimination and hatred.

As I posted yesterday, “… if this can happen to Limbaugh, considering he is the proverbial 600-pound gorilla of broadcasting and has…. well, Rush dollars, it can happen to any of us.”

Make no mistake, this was a political hit.

If you don’t think that the Administration’s ballerina, Rahm Emmanuel, picked up the phone and call Obama’s house boy, Eric Holder the Attorney General, and told him to call Smith to play the players’ race card, well, I don’t have time to go through it again. 

YLSIL: But GA, that’s just big time politics; (wait for left-wing default response)….. everyone does it.

GA: I’ll defer to Ashby’s Thinker piece:

“… never in American history has someone had so much power to pummel his political opponents as President Obama. With control over banks, insurance companies, car companies, media (sports media included) and unions (like the NFL players union), Obama tentacles seem to penetrate into nearly every corner of the nation.

It is, after all, the Chicago way.

While Real America fights the enemies here at home, our troops carry the battle to the enemy in Afghanistan, one arm behind their back.

Obama’s had some “meetings” about strategy over the last several days, despite saying six months ago he had his Af-Pak  strategy in place. 

Taliban militants have now killed more Americans and other troops deployed by NATO this year than in any of the previous years since President Bush ordered the invasion in 2001.

And Gen. McChrystal’s 40,000+ troop request goes unheeded in the White House where the president votes “present”.  Four more of our troops were killed by an IED today, while their Commander-in-chief holds a fund-raiser in Cali and speaks in my state, to "engage the nation" in ironically….. volunteerism.

 Either or 

"In 30 years on Capitol Hill, I never saw Congress mangle the defense budget as badly as this year," said Winslow Wheeler, a former Senate staffer who worked on defense funding and oversight for both Republicans and Democrats.

The Senate has siphoned off $2.6 billion from DoD accounts that literally pay for fuel, ammunition and training for U.S. troops, including those fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And used for what instead?

Well, there’s the $20 million stolen to to launch an educational institute to be named after Sen. Ted Kennedy.

In what was called "a worthy investment", the cash was taken from the support and training accounts by Sen. Dan Inouye (a Medal of Honor Recipient) and Sen. John Kerry, who I understand was in Vietnam. 

Other pork included:

• $20 million for the Maui Space Surveillance System in Hawaii, requested by Inouye.
• Inouye inserted 35 “earmarks” worth more than $206 million, but was out-stolen by ranking Republican on the committee, Sen. Thad Cochran, with 48 pet projects totaling $216 million.

Beyond the creative accounting, the bill includes $2.5 billion for 10 Boeing C-17 cargo planes that the military says it does not need, and $1.7 billion for an extra DDG-51 destroyer not requested in the Pentagon's budget proposal.

An analysis of the fiscal raiding party points out that "Air Force and Navy combat pilots training to deploy are getting about half of the flying hours they got at the end of the Vietnam War."

"Army tank crews get less in tank training today than they did during the low-readiness Clinton years,” the report said.

To its possible credit, the White House Office of Management and Budget has called on lawmakers to reverse the cuts.

But I suspect the “call” was muted at best and issued only to provide the administration with national defense cover.

Let us not forget--Obama is the Big Satan, but Congress is the Little Satan.

The big and the little

 

The organized effort to undermine Rush Limbaugh’s bid to become a minority owner of the St. Louis Rams (a life long dream) has succeeded; a consortium of would-be owners has dropped Limbaugh from its group under pressure from the usual far-left wing suspects 

When the President of the United States directly attacks a private citizen as Obama and other members of his administration have done to Limbaugh, it’s open season on Real America.

And as a direct result, the following statements scurrilously attributed to Limbaugh were dusted off to incite opposition to Limbaugh joining the NFL both inside and outside the NFL. The heart of the attack are two quotes anonymously posted to Wikipedia.com and attributed to Limbaugh by something called Jack Huberman in his pack-of-lies book: "101 People Who Are Really Screwing America":

• "You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray (Dr. King's assassin). We miss you, James. Godspeed."
• "Let's face it, we didn't have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: Slavery built the South. I'm not saying we should bring it back. I'm just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark."

Neither is true of course, but Limbaugh’s enemies number in the millions—a great many of whom are more powerful and have more money that he does. All they lack… and the major weapon in the Limbaugh arsenal… is a 3-hour radio show carried by more than 700 radio stations.

He speaks for most of Real America, and thus, Limbaugh (and Glenn Beck) are really the only major weapons we have in our arsenals.

Take it from someone whose life has spanned the history of television… America in the 1950-1990 era was actually controlled by the state-run mass news media without opposition.

Imagine a nation without talk radio, internet blogs and Fox… AND Obama.

Scores of journalists (sic) have used the racists quotes in “have you stopped beating your wife yet” fashion, but when it comes to libel and slander of public figures, the bar is set extraordinarily high. Proteinwisdom.com tracks the origin of the quotes (sic) here:

But, if this can happen to Limbaugh, considering he is the proverbial 600-pound gorilla of broadcasting and has…. well, Rush dollars, it can happen to any of us.

Were I Limbaugh and had his aforementioned cash, I’d get one of my attorneys to file law suits 24-7 until I’d covered the waterfront, so to speak.

It’s 60-40 or better that El Rushbo would lose these cases. First, he has to prove that the respondents made statements expressly stated or implied to be factual, which may damage an individual’s negative image or reputation.

The statements must be undertaken with reckless disregard for the truth, must be intentional and with the propose of harming the complainant; lastly, Limbaugh must prove damages as a result.

The last part is easiest, losing an interest in a multi-hundred, million-dollar sports franchise, is a big financial hit.

This is what happens when the politically-correct tail wags the dog. The truth is but a niggling inconvenience; the investors group, headed by St. Louis Blues chairman Dave Checketts, caved in to lies rather than stand up.

Evil will prevail when good men do nothing.

In the case of Al (Tawana Brawley) Sharpton and Jess (Baby Daddy) Jackson (whose “Reverandships” came from Post Toasties box-tops) slander of a public figure by a public figure doesn’t enjoy full Second Amendment rights and protection.

The great thing about suing these bastards and the various “news” agencies is that you get them on the stand under oath and in effect, put them on trial.

The take away lesson here is when you face a organized effort to burn you to the water-line, your world, even Limbaugh’s world, gets turned upside down and you begin to wonder if awakened in a country other than America.

You have; we’ve elected the enemy.

Now turning to Irony in the News; Bloomberg reports:

Limbaugh’s group is led by former Madison Square Garden President and current St. Louis Blues and Real Salt Lake majority owner Dave Checketts, who brings a wealth of sports industry contacts, know-how and credibility. Checketts also brings big-time backers like George Soros, who financed the duo’s failed attempt to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2003.

I believe that Soros is the foremost enemy of America, and that he owns Obama.

Lastly, where are all the “conservatives” pols and public figures whom Limbaugh has supported on-air over 20+ years… their absence is glaring, especially in light of this from none other than Keith Olbermann:

"There're now gonna be character tests for sports owners? There'll only be three of them left.  Unless they beat the Vikings Sunday as of next Thursday it will have been a full year since the Rams won a game.  My God, if Limbaugh wants to buy them far be it for me to tell him he's flushing his money down a rat hole."

 

Second on Obama’s media hit list is Fox News:

“We’re going to treat them the way we would treat an opponent,” said Anita Dunn, the White House communications director, in a telephone interview on Sunday. “As they are undertaking a war against Barack Obama and the White House, we don’t need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave.”

Got that? Media which carry Obama’s water are legitimate in the left-wing view, and anyone/thing else can be attacked as an enemy.

Interestingly, Glenn Beck, who has had a “red phone” installed on the set of his record-breaking Fox News Channel show for Dunn, interim White House communications director, is now reporting that she may be leaving the White House.

If true, it’s a sure sign of another of Obama’s hands overplayed.

Beck is also reporting he’ll reveal more “smoking” video evidence related to Nunn, on his radio show, or TV show at 5 p.m. EDT. 

If someone like Nunn is packing bags, it usually means the truth is on her tail, rummaging through her closet and Obama is trying to ease her out before she Van Joneses all over the Oval Office.

BTW: Dunn, 51, is married to Obama’s personal lawyer, Robert Bauer,

The cover story for her departure will be something like… returning to the “private sector”… she doesn’t look the type to want “…more time to spend with a family.”

The NY Daily News correctly points out the likely strategy should the “attack Fox” tactic back-fire:

“But there's another reason she was picked for the Fox News fight — she's only an interim communications director, filling in until the end of the year. If this whole skirmish backfires on Obama, she'll be gone in two months and the administration will have time to distance itself. In other words, the communication team's toughest member is also their sacrificial lamb.”

“I will not leave you behind….. “

It has been this way since time began; a fierce warrior spirit blended with deep compassion and an unquestioning willingness to die for the man beside you.

It was true of The Immortal 300 at Thermopylae, through the Battle of Hastings, Iwo Jima, the Ia Drang Valley, Mogadishu and it was true at two embattled outposts 10 miles from the Afghan-Pak border, nestled in the Hindu Kush mountains.

While America slept safe and sound Saturday, an estimated 200-300 fighters poured out of a village near Camp Keating which until that moment had not suffered any casualties from hostile fire in the three years since it was established.

Opening the battle with a heavy machine gun, then small arms, RPGs and grenades, the attackers hit the first of two compounds, killing or capturing its Afghani troops and police. The fighters then swept up the rugged terrain to Keating, defended by the 4th Brigade Combat Team’s Task Force Mountain Warrior, (4th Infantry Division) based at Fort Carson Colorado.

Amid the chaos and confusion, the Sturm und Drang of combat, scores of individual acts of heroism—most of which we’ll never learn of—were performed in what is termed “above and beyond the call of duty” in military citations.

But on the battlefield, it’s simply, “just doing my job.”

What is known at this point is that as the attack raged around them, many of our wounded soldiers refused to be medevaced, choosing instead to stand and fight with their comrades. 

The battle was pitched and sustained. The next morning Col. Randy George, the area commander, said: "This was a complex attack in a difficult area. Both the US and Afghan soldiers fought bravely together."

That’s political/war speak, but the truth is Afghan forces are not reaching the independent levels of operation they should have by now; and, there is the ever-present question in all asymmetrical, counterinsurgency war…. despite the uniform, whose side are these guys really on?   

Many of the fighters obviously massed in and poured into the killing field from a mosque in a nearby village.

R.O.E.

Faithful readers will recall my Sept. 9 post—”We’re pinned down!!”—about the restrictive “rules of engagement” pressed upon our troops in Afghanistan and one Marines units inability to get air support led to four KIAs; the Marines almost ran out of ammo:

"’We are pinned down. We are running low on ammo. We have no air. We've lost today’," Marine Maj. Kevin Williams, 37, said through his translator to his Afghan counterpart, responding to the latter's repeated demands for helicopters.”

“In early June the new U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal ordered new operational standards, including a directive to refrain from firing on structures where insurgents may have taken refuge among civilians unless their own troops are in imminent danger. Officials hoped the change in ROE (rules of engagement) will reduce tensions between U.S. forces and Afghan citizens, and build a ‘civilian surge’ to improve reconstruction and governance.”

I assume that the mosque adjacent to Camp Keating, full or hundreds of sub-human hajis, was ignored as per the ROE—“rules of engagement” last Saturday.

As the battle raged at Keating, a fire swept through outpost forcing troops back and depriving them of adequate cover.

Though she was only on the ground for five minutes, Karen Russo’s dispatch for ABC captures well our magnificent troops:

As we were flying into the attack space, the MEDEVAC team with one medic and a doctor were preparing for the oncoming patients, setting up IV's, pulling out medical equipment and making other last minute preparations.

Apache helicopter gunships escorted us as we neared the combat zone to ensure our safety as we hovered at 10,000 feet awaiting word to descend. When word came, we plummeted in a corkscrew manner, making the descent in a matter of seconds, landing in a valley at the bottom of steep mountains. It felt very vulnerable to attack.

One of the pilots said that even though he had night vision goggles and ordinarily he can see in that sort of situation, because the fighting was intense there was so much smoke it was actually fogged over and it was difficult for him to see. Fortunately he could make out the landing zone, but it was touch and go.

The area smelled of burned out pine trees something one solider described as "death and hell."

Some of the injured refused to be medevaced out of the combat zone and continued to fight despite their wounds, according to soldiers at the base. Soldiers told the crew that troops were donating blood during the battle, so it could be transfused into wounded comrades.  Doctors wore night vision goggles, but still found it difficult to see.

One doctor said it was like working by touch. One of the pilots said that even though he had night vision goggles and ordinarily he can see in that sort of situation, because the fighting was intense there was so much smoke it was actually fogged over and it was difficult for him to see.

Aftermath

Over 100 Taliban fighters were killed in a weekend clash that left eight US soldiers dead, NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said Tuesday, the wounded were estimated at 24.

News sources have confirmed that a New Jersey soldier, Specialist Michael Scusa, was one of the eight U.S. soldiers killed in the attack that claimed the largest loss of human life since July of 2008.

According to his Myspace page, 23-year-old Scusa, a Lower Cape May Regional High School graduate, made his last entry on May 26th, posting that he missed his wife and son.

His body will return to Dover Air Force Base Tuesday morning.

His Commander-in-Chief won’t be there, but today he did visit the National Counterterrorism Center on Tuesday and met with Congressional leaders about the ongoing review of the strategy in the Afghan war.

Given his total opposition to committing to war, or even the United States even defending herself, more and more body bags will be filled while the son-of-a-bitch in the White House favors the word “surrender” over that uncomfortable word---“victory”.

He obviously prefers this:

Olympic postmortem of an Olympic-sized failure

DENMARK—Aftermath: First and foremost we must consider the arrogant, self-serving, narcissistic speeches given by Barry and ‘Chelle Obama in Copenhagen, just your average millionaire political affirmative action couple living off their credit cards until a convicted influence peddler, Tony Rezko, pulled a fast one that allowed them to “buy” a Chicago mansion.

It begins there… these people are worst example of human nature; arrogant without any justification whatsoever.

Let’s listen in.

Michelle with reporters in the White House State Dining Room.:  "It's a battle -- we're going to win -- take no prisoners," the first lady said with a smile before leaving.

"Some of my best memories are sitting on my dad's lap, cheering on Olga and Nadia, Carl Lewis and others for their brilliance and perfection,” Mrs. Obama said. “My dad would have been so proud to witness these games in Chicago.”

Ahem.

Carl Lewis's first Olympics: 1984; Olga Korbut’s first: 1972; Nadia Comăneci’s first: 1976.

Michelle Obama’s birthday is Jan. 17, 1964, so it’s possible that Nadia and Olga, her Dad’s lap, and Michelle all intersected at some point, but gawd forbid she was sitting on the poor man when she was 20 and Carl Lewis was running and jumping.

Since the poor guy had MS; his doctors would rather not have had a very large, 20-year-old woman sitting on their dying patient.

As I wrote yesterday, virtually all democrats do this… they’re so out of touch with the everyday American that they feel that have to make up stories that we “’little people” will be moved or impressed by.

And the guy didn’t deserve to be used in such a manner. Fraser Robinson III, born 1935, was by all accounts a dedicated family man and a very hard worker despite his illness; he died in 1991 at 56.

Barry’s (The Prince of the Personal Pronoun) Denmark speech strategy: first, apologize again for American, and then beg for Chicago:

“America has acted unilaterally, without regard for the interests of others. No longer do we have the luxury of indulging our differences to the exclusion of the work that we must do together.

“… the USA is open to the world…. I want people to come away with the impression that America is an open and diverse society.

“Over the past few years the fundamental truth of the United States has been lost. The Olympic Games could restore it.”

And when it was over: "One of the things that I think is most valuable about sports is that you can play a great game and still not win," a disappointed Obama said, back at the White House after a quick five-hour stay in Copenhagen.

“Great game”?…. dead last?

Yeah, “My kid is a really, really good participant in Oak Village Little League”.

Makes sense though… he throws like a girl.

Reaction:

It is already being charged, of course, that “this is Bush’s fault.”

The left-wing should copyright the phrase.

So sayeth Blagojevich crony Sen. Rowland Burris, (D-Incompetent):

“…the image of the U. S. has been so tarnished in the last 8 years that, even Barack Obama making an unprecedented pitch for the games could not overcome the hatred the world has for us as a result of George Bush.”

Uh-huh.

And the totally irrelevant fake preacher and “civil rights” race hustler, Jesse Jackson:

"I'm shocked and saddened. We were emotionally prepared for it," he said, noting that the United States had sent its "A team" of President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle to push for the Chicago bid.

Arrogance Dooms Olympic Dream

Ron Flatter—RealClearSports.com

“Instead of dedicating three days and nights working the IOC members, as we hear Tony Blair did for London in its successful bid for 2012, President Obama figured all he had to do was show up for a few minutes….”

This is what happens to those who enlist in a cult of personality and drink the Koo-Aid…. even if they are atheists, it’s near impossible for them to accept that Obama is not God.

Took me awhile, but here are the money quotes from the “morgue” as we old school reporters used to call research:

About 10 days ago:

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama gave his strongest indication yet that he will not join the city's delegation to Copenhagen next month for the decision.

"I would make the case in Copenhagen personally, if I weren't so firmly committed to making real the promise of quality, affordable health care for every American," he said.

This would seem to indicate how reluctant Barry was to go to Denmark carrying water for his masters, and in the end how obvious that Chicago controls POTUS, and FLOTUS:

"Barack and I would feel such tremendous pride to see the Olympic torch burning brightly in the city that we love so much," Mrs. Obama said.

My homies, Don and Mike, and I just got back from Chi-Town… take it from me, the last thing the Chicago Police want is a torch burning brightly in Chicago. 

He who calls the tune pays the piper

I’m not sure how much longer Glenn Beck can continue to do what he’s doing.

I say this for two reasons: one, there is a limit to what the human body can do, and two, he is making more and more power enemies.

He spends a considerable amount on protection for himself, his family and his staff for obvious reasons. He has a concealed carry permit and his is strapped.

Paranoid? Crazy? Not a damned bit. And as a last line of defense there is Victor, the Beck family’s 100-pound expertly trained German Shepherd; I’d rather face Beck and his .45.

And in writing about this, faithful readers know that I’m not an alarmist… watch: don’t worry about the e’ffing swine flu.

How’s that?

But the reporting that Beck is doing with a smaller budget that that of the NYT publisher’s executive chef is beginning to point fingers closer and closer to those who have created Barack Hussein Obama.

The reason that the President of the United States, faced with a failing economy, the nuclear threat in Iran, a grinding war in Afghanistan which desperately needs 30,000 more troops yesterday, is traveling to Denmark to pimp for Chicago's Olympics bid is simple.

He who calls the tune pays the piper.

If you are paying for someone's services, you can dictate exactly what you want that person to do.

Today Barack Obama begins to pay back, directly, the Chicago cabal that groomed him for years and finally put him office.

The first 20 minutes of Beck’s program yesterday were devoted to deconstructing the power behind the throne.

Here’s the link to those 20 minutes… you owe it to yourself to watch; he connects the dots Woodward and Bernstein refuse to.

It’s a simple as this: Valerie Jarrett, whom I’ve only covered briefly in the past, is the Karl Rove of this administration; she is not only the Obamas’ closest advisor, she is their best friend and has been for years.

Jarrett:

• is Iranian.  
• is White House Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Relations and Public Liaison; she also chaired the Obama transition team.
• coached both Obamas at once — they first met when Michelle Obama applied for a job with Jarrett in the Chicago mayor’s office — and she has guided them ever since.
• founded Habitat Company in 1995, which develops and manages residential properties, from public housing to luxury condominiums. She is Habitat’s CEO. This company owns and or controls hundreds of thousands of apartments and condos.
• is a slum landlord, who has refused to answer a single question regarding Habitat and it’s holdings. You see, she’s capo dei capi—czar of all czars--  and therefore outside even the charade of Senate “advise and consent.”
• was given an “ethics waiver” so she could join the Obama team after the election despite having serves as a lobbyist and as Vice Chair of the non-profit entity "Chicago 2016" which seeks the Olympics.

Only in Washington could you obtain an “ethics waiver”… and with a straight face. 

Jarrett is the worst slum lord in the nation’s third-largest city… and that includes a lot of slum lords.  Jarrett and other developers have benefited from and have been enriched by Obama’s effort in the Senate to obtain government-funded subsidies.

Yes, you built them, Jarrett and others got rich; it now looks like Beirut and of course government funds are needed to rebuild them… get it?

Jarrett is the chief executive of Habitat Co., which managed Grove Parc Plaza from 2001 until this winter and co-managed an even larger subsidized complex in Chicago that was seized by the federal government in 2006, after city inspectors found widespread problems.

Here’s one of Jarrett’s properties—Grove Parc—it has deteriorated to the point that it is uninhabitable and must be demolished. Barack Obama worked in this very area as "community organizer" and made it such a wonderful  success.

Surprisingly, the Boston Globe reported: “About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.”

It’s this simple: Habitat and other companies who prey of inner city blacks, allow public housing to deteriorate to the that the only answer is to demolish and just at the very time that the host city of the next Olympics with need property to build venues for the Games.      

“It will be a huge economic engine for Chicago, but it will have a ripple effect throughout the country,” adding that U.S. corporations have voiced support for Chicago’s bid.

Chicago my ass. A huge payoff is coming for those who groomed Obama and got him elected and if you still live in Grove Parc, you better find some place to go.  

Washington D.C. is no longer the capital of the United States,  it’s now Chicago on steroids, mega-steroids.

Meanwhile 43 young troops have died since Obama ignored Afghanistan theater commander, Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s urgent request for reinforcements… exactly one month ago.

If only their Commander-in-Chief cared for them as much as he does Valerie Jarrett.

Inmates, meet asylum administrative positions

It’s official…. The entire Obama administration is as mentally unstable as its leader; it’s bad enough to be crazy, but to be crazy and in charge of the world’s most important nation is a recipe for nothing less than Armageddon.

After years of insisting that Afghanistan was the key U.S. national defense priority, Obama is beginning to show his true colors (pasty yellow) and now must take time to consider the issue of sending the 40,000 troops requested by Gen. Stanley McChrystal.

Unbelievably, a CNN reporter  just said, “it’s time for Obama to man up (in Afghanistan) or preside over an American defeat.”   

CNN?

Obama said he will take his time to decide on coming up with a “new strategy” for Afghanistan… therefore revealing that his has no strategy at all for the Taliban controlled nation, or the Middle East for that matter…. other than supporting terrorists over our only ally there, Israel.

In so doing, Obama is offering the loss of Afghanistan and the loss of American lives to placate the far left anti-war members of Congress and his socialist backers like George Soros and ensure passage of Obamacare.

He will continue his increase of “war by drone”, Bill Clinton’s safe politically-driven air war choice in Bosnia, rather than ordering the surge that McChrystal clearly demands.

And in the meantime the Commander-in-Chief has time to waste on the always-obsequious TV buffoon, David Letterman, and soak the taxpayers for a $7,000-per night stay at New York’s Waldorf Astoria while posing as President of the World addressing the United Nations…. while proclaiming that our greatest threat is global warming which is clearly a hoax.

And why Armageddon?

Because the nuclear clock is still ticking in Iran; we are selling out Israel while bowing to Islamo-terrorists and their backing regimes and Obama has clearly proven to our enemies that they can get away with mass murder.

YLSIL: But GA, Leon Panetta at CIA keeping an eye on terrorists.

GA: He sure is… has just had a big dinner for them the other night in Dearbornistan.

The always on-target Debbie Schlussel reports:

“The Ramadan Iftar dinner paid for by you–via the CIA–took place at the Bint Jebail Cultural Center a/k/a “The Hezbollah Social Club,” which is owned and run by open supporters of Hezbollah and–as I’ve reported–has been the scene of Hezbollah rallies (which I attended undercover) and anti-Semitic, anti-American speeches to thousands of Shi’ite Muslim Dearbornistan residents.

“’And as I predicted, Panetta kissed the rears of the usual suspects.  He was photographed laughing with FBI award revokee, marriage and immigration fraud perpetrator, and “former” Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist Imad Hamad.  Yup, the same Hamad who praised as “patriotic” the Palestinian Authority TV “Children’s Club” programs that teach 3-year-olds to become homicide bombers’.”

And as you can see by the photo at right, this was not some grim, geopolitical photo op that government officials have to attended for our own self interest, Panetta was clearly having the time of his life with Hamad.

And when adolescents take over the government who gets blamed?

You do.

The WSJ reports: 

“… Energy Secretary Steven Chu sees Americans as unruly teenagers and the Administration as the parent that will have to teach them a few lessons.

“… Dr. Chu said he didn’t think average folks had the know-how or will to to change their behavior enough to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.

“’The American public…just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act’,” Dr. Chu said. ‘The American public has to really understand in their core how important this issue is.’ (In that case, the Energy Department has a few renegade teens of its own.)”

It was just days ago reporters asked him about OPEC output levels after a speech to a group of utility regulators. He responded that the issue was "not in my domain."

Later, in a conference call to reporters, he said his answer reflected "more of my naiveté than anything else."

My ass… he simply didn’t know he was was the No. 1 person in the administration when it came to petroleum. Perhaps he’d do better as car czar… where there are absolutely no job requirements.

Previous democrat administrations just keep giving back to the country:

PowerLine.com. Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright spoke at a forum in Omsk, Siberia. Pravda reported that her speech "surprised the audience." No wonder. The Russians in attendance must have wondered how they managed to lose the cold war.

Madeleine Albright said during the meeting that America no longer had the intention of being the first nation of the world.

She particularly said that democracy was not the perfect system. "It can be contradictory, corrupt and may have security problems," Albright said.

America has been having hard times recently, Albright said.

"We have been talking about our exceptionalism during the recent eight years. Now, an average American wants to stay at home - they do not need any overseas adventures. We do not need new enemies," Albright said adding that Beijing, London and Delhi became a serious competition for Washington and New York.”

Traitor.

And what of this:

Zbigniew Brzezinski (former Carter National Security advisor) suggests that Barack Obama do more than just refuse to support an Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear sites -- the American president must give the order to shoot down Israeli aircraft as they cross Iraqi airspace.

The Weekly Standard:

DB: How aggressive can Obama be in insisting to the Israelis that a military strike might be in America’s worst interest?

Brzezinski: We are not exactly impotent little babies. They have to fly over our airspace in Iraq. Are we just going to sit there and watch?

DB: What if they fly over anyway?

Brzezinski: Well, we have to be serious about denying them that right. That means a denial where you aren’t just saying it. If they fly over, you go up and confront them. They have the choice of turning back or not. No one wishes for this but it could be a ‘Liberty’ in reverse.”

Traitor.

And yet another pathetic, demwit president:

"When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler or when they wave signs in the air that said we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kinds of things are beyond the bounds," Carter told students at Emory University.

"I think people who are guilty of that kind of personal attack against Obama have been influenced to a major degree by a belief that he should not be president because he happens to be African- American.

"It's a racist attitude, and my hope is and my expectation is that in the future both Democratic leaders and Republican leaders will take the initiative in condemning that kind of unprecedented attack on the president of the United States," Carter said.

In additional to being an idiot, a traitor and the worst president in 100 years, Carter remains the only president to report seeing a UFO and to be attacked by an amphibious bunny.

To lighten things up, let us not forget the GOP…. Tom DeLay is now officially a fool, if not the village idiot:  

Breitbart team exposes Obama’s ACORN culpable in over 100 crimes including tax fraud, (child) prostitution, and illegal immigration

Patriots, this is more important than it appears; this may well be the first tremor in President Barack Hussein Obama’s fascist government that can lead to its destruction.

An enterprising young reporter for Andrew Breitbarft’s BigGovernment.com), James O’Keefe, and a bright, 20-year-old young woman named Hannah Giles have done what all of the state-run news media refuses to do… expose ACORN as an on-going, organized criminal enterprise funded by the 44th president of United States of America and the leftists inside and outside of government.

O’Keefe and Giles, posing as a pimp and his prostitute, respectively, wearing an audio/video wire, and armed with the “most ridiculous criminal scenario”      walked into ACRON’s Baltimore headquarters recently. They asked for help getting a loan for a house which would be used for turning tricks and housing a group of 13-year-olds being smuggled in from El Salvador to be used as sex slaves. (Click on screens above and below for the two-part video.) 

They talked with an ACORN accountant who matter of factly, routinely, advised them on money laundering, how to avoid paying taxes, and how to claim the young girls as “dependents” for the further tax deductions.

__________________________________________

On Glenn’s Beck’s radio show this morning, Breitbart said that a prosecutor and Andrew P. Napolitano, a Fox News analyst and former New Jersey Court judge reviewed the undercover video evidence and found “over 100 crimes or evidence that crimes had been committed.”  

This (and all it is connected to) will eventually make Dick Nixon’s Watergate look like the “third-rate burglary” it was. We have not only a Manchurian Candidate as president, but duplicate Manchurians in the Senate the House and especially the state-run news media.

Never forget that Obama was trained by the teachings of Saul Alinsky—the father of community organizing—, he was employed by ACORN in Chicago, and trained volunteers and gave legal advice to the communist front organization.

But toppling this government of criminals will not succeed unless we force the stated-run news media to join with the citizens and citizen journalists to run leftists from office, including the President of the Unites States.

I am being as deadly serious as I can be about this.

Our Union is in peril. While we slept we allowed socialist, communist and fascist criminals to slowly seep through every level of society and government, and if we do not stand here and stand now, we will crumble into a dictatorship.

Remember, only roughly a third of the population supported our First Revolution when we overthrew a government that taxed us without representation, seized our property and ran every aspect of our lives. There was no right to vote; the ballot box was no panacea for our liberty.   

Last night there was a Patriot on television at Obama’s address to the joint session of Congress.

Joe Wilson—the perfect American name—rose to his feet and shouted loudly enough to be heard through the chamber: “You lie!”

The truth was finally heard after Obama said extending health care to all Americans who seek it would not mean insuring illegal immigrants.

He is a goddamned liar and everyone knows it.

And yet… out of 535 members of Congress, representing everyone in the United States, only one with the courage of his convictions stood.

Sadly, South Carolina Rep. Wilson, a freshman, backed down almost immediately and apologized; that will prevent him from becoming a folk hero of Real America, but at least he spoke the truth which is almost nonexistent in that building.

Worse, just as immediately he was openly criticized by his fellow Republicans, most notably the RINO from Arizona that the GOP ran against Obama: 

Wilson's behavior was "… totally disrespectful; There is no place for it in that setting, or any other, and he should apologize for it immediately." -- Sen. John McCain.

This is exactly why he lost to a political neophyte with an absolute zero resume.

See what we are up against, Real Americans?

It is people like McCain who have ruined this country just as surely as anyone in the democrat party. He is a political coward and hear me now… the president I voted for twice, the former governor (and now again a resident) of this state will condemn Wilson as well.

The hundreds of ACORN red-shirts above are not in in not in America, but Canada; ACORN is a threat to any free nation.                                                

We cannot trust the leadership in the GOP—it is part of the problem, and has been since the first Bush was elected. I believe Republicans actually like being in the minority, just as sixth graders love summer.

It is time for conservatives and libertarians to rally, join forces and turn this nation around before it is too late.

If we don’t there will be blood in the streets, it is just a matter of time.

Real Americans confront the unimaginable and prepare accordingly, the summer soldiers and sunshine patriots of our nation will support our oppressors and will constitute a huge fifth column.

Do not waste your time any longer uselessly debating politics; there is no time for such unproductive leisure activities.

Stop talking to the fifth column… people in your life you cannot trust, those who would sell you out for a job or a promotion or a loaf of bread.

Some of these people are in your family and I believe I have the responsibility to share my concerns with my blinded family members, but once that is done, I’ll find better outlets for my time and energy than trying to convince them to join us in saving this country.

Spend your time more effectively… engage in direct action to support those who believe in Real American inside out outside of politics, and if you live somewhere real patriots are in short supply or simply do not exist, run someone who is a patriot and get rid of the leftists, liberals, and useful idiots who are working to enslave you and your family.

And finally, threaten your local, state and federal government reps who embrace big government and leftist ideals that you will not rest until they are picking up garbage on the side of the road… if they’re lucky.

 

“Audentes fortuna iuvat sed timidos relinquit.”

                      “Fortune favors the bold but abandons the timid”

“We’re pinned down!!”

"We are pinned down. We are running low on ammo. We have no air. We've lost today," Marine Maj. Kevin Williams, 37, said through his translator to his Afghan counterpart, responding to the latter's repeated demands for helicopters.

Four of Williams’ Special Operations Command Marines lay dead near a fortress-like Afghan village Tuesday—as their comrades fought on, their ammo running low.

America, your sons are being slaughtered—intentionally sacrificed—because Commander-in-Chief Obama and his top commanders want to limit possible civilian casualties in the war-torn country… buying Afghani lives for Americans.

With sniper rounds impacting old inches away, Maj. Williams persisted in his demands for gunships, air strikes, arty… anything that would keep the dug-in rags’ heads down so his people could pull back to a better defensive position.

In early June the new U.S. military commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal ordered new operational standards, including a directive to refrain from firing on structures where insurgents may have taken refuge among civilians unless their own troops are in imminent danger. Officials hoped the change in ROE (rules of engagement) will reduce tensions between U.S. forces and Afghan citizens, and build a "civilian surge" to improve reconstruction and governance.

But thousands of miles from the air conditioned Oval Office, the four Marines were placed in body bags along with eight Afghan troops and an Afghan interpreter who were killed in the ambush and battle that raged from dawn until 2 p.m. in eastern Kunar province, close to the Pakistan border.

Embedded reporter Jonathan S. Landay, right: 

"This is unbelievable. We have a platoon (of Afghan army) out there and we've got no Hotel Echo," (Army Capt.) Swenson shouted above the din of gunfire, using the military acronym for high explosive artillery shells. "We're pinned down."

Finally, more than an hour after the ambush was sprung, a string of dense smoke, white phosphorus artillery rounds was used to shield the unit’s retreat to better cover.

Of his new policy, Gen. McChrystal has said his measure of effectiveness will be the “number of Afghans shielded from violence” — not the number of militants killed, adding that is our troops taking fire from and they can remove themselves from the area safely, without any undue danger to the forces, then that’s the option they should take.”

During the firefight, Afghan women and children inside the village compound were observed resupplying the Taliban fighters with ammunition.

It’s been a very long time, but America used to be a country of winners, a nation that had the ability to unleash overwhelming, full-on, titanic, and therefore short, low-casualty wars.

Apparently we left all that in the locker after WWII.

Since then untold tens of thousands of American lives have been sacrificed on the alter of politics presided over by superiors unworthy of our troops’ trust.

Korea—only five years after WWII—was fought in exactly this manner. Gone was “go big or don’t go at all”, the unofficial motto of vastly superior armies, and in its’ place Robert McNamara and Lyndon Johnson would later be personally picking bombing targets in North Vietnam. 

The first choice of today’s limp-wristed, metro-sexual politicians is to not fight at all, become an equal-partner world government via the United Nations…. I call that surrendering without firing a shot.

Barack Hussein Obama is only a little lighter in the loafers…. scared of his own shadow, apologizing for this own country, and hoping that our enemies will eat us last;  you know… the guy that doesn’t like the sound of the word “surrender”; what’s his alternative….? “Yankee, you die!!”, “banzi!!, or perhaps, “do you want a blindfold?”

We can’t fight back, we can’t yell: get the f**k outta that damned mosque! We’re vaporizing it in an hour”; we can’t use certain ammunition, we can’t use our superior firepower.

But what about intel gathering which prevents or reduces loss of life on both sides? Not just “no”, but “Hell no!!!”

such as:

• no shouting, pushing, or taking his library card 
• tell him he’s facing east when he’s really pointed north.
• telling him his mum died.
• Forcing the detainee to be naked, perform sexual acts, or pose in a sexual manner.
• Placing hoods or sacks over the head of a detainee; using duct tape over the eyes.
• Applying beatings, electric shock, burns, or other forms of physical pain.
• Waterboarding.
• Using military working dogs.
• Conducting mock executions.
• Depriving the detainee of necessary food, water or medical care.
• Threats to turn the individual over to others to be abused.
• Certain humiliating or degrading treatment.
• Implying harm to the individual or his property.
• Threatening to separate parents from their children.

“Good evening, Mr. Iwishi Hadanaudi. Let me tell you about tonight’s specials here at Club Gitmo.”

So what all this means is that without intel from newly-captured POWs/captives, an important—if not the most important—weapon, is neutralized.

As one jarhead observed last month: “The Iraqis (on the battlefield) already know the game. They know how to play us. Unless you catch the Iraqis in the act, it is very hard to pin anything on anyone; we can’t even use basic police interrogation tactics.”

So……. right now, right this very moment Army Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl, 23, of Hailey, Idaho, has been missing from his base in eastern Afghanistan on June 30.

On July 3, officials declared him "missing-captured."

He has been ID’ed in this photo released by the Taliban.

Bergdahl is a member of 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, and I assure you that he now lives in terror every moment of his young life.

And….. I’ll guarantee you that America will let him die—probably by a slow and crude beheading, because we won't peel back someone’s fingernail(s) to find out where in the goddamedhell he is.

His father would, his mom would, his grandma would, my friends would, I would.

America won’t.

Goodnight, Pfc. Berghdahl, you acquitted yourself with dignity, but your nation failed you.

Rest in Peace.
