The Reclamation of Independence

Posted 31 Aug 2009 in call to action, conservatism, responsibility, teaparty

Reposted courtesy of Blackiswhite, Imperial Consigliere. THE RECLAMATION OF INDEPENDENCE WHEN IN THE GENERATIONS SUCCEEDING the one that pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to usher in the birth of the world’s only truly free nation, Liberty’s Progeny incrementally ceded their birthright to the government conceived and designed to serve a free people, and not be its servant, this generation is awakening to the terrible mistake that we, and our ancestors allowed to happen. Charged with the terrible knowledge that comes with opened eyes, we now take up the long abdicated duty to rouse our fellow citizens and actively wrest the power and the liberties that have been progressively talked, cajoled, threatened, wheedled, and extorted from...

Obama’s website demonizes critics of Obamacare as "Heirs of Bin Laden"

Posted 31 Aug 2009 in Barack Obama, Democrats, healthcare, Obamacare, totalitarianism

Hope, change, and demagoguery. From the “Super-Heroes” of YES WE DID…and those dandy tinfoil hats that double as Kool-Aid funnels. (h/t: Gateway Pundit) —* RECLAIM OUR LAND FROM THE HEIRS OF, YES: BIN LADEN *—* YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE *— In case you haven’t seen it in the News: Republican Representatives, Senators, GOP Party Leader, GOP Political Machine top personnel (e.g., Gingritch ), etc etc etc — they’re ALL every one of them applauding and encouraging their zealot-horde by merrily referring to them as “Proud Right-Wing Terrorists”. Google it – I’m not pulling your leg. But don’t hate them: Misguided citizens are easy-pickings for demagogues, whom they blindly follow because they’ve been trained all their lives not to question...

Lockerbie bomber was released for oil

Posted 30 Aug 2009 in corruption, dhimmitude, Islam, jihadists, terrorism

Last week, we were told that the release of Lockerbie bomber Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi was on “compassionate grounds” due to the notion that he supposedly has terminal prostate cancer. Turns out, that excuse was complete bovine feces. Actually, the British government bowed to jihadist extortion and sold their souls for £15 billion pounds in oil exploration. I’d say it’s more like “thirty pieces of silver.” Via Times Online UK: The British government decided it was “in the overwhelming interests of the United Kingdom” to make Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber, eligible for return to Libya, leaked ministerial letters reveal. Gordon Brown’s government made the decision after discussions between Libya and BP over a multi-million-pound oil exploration...

Bill would give Obama "emergency control" of Internet

Posted 28 Aug 2009 in Barack Obama, Big Brother, totalitarianism

When President Bush used the Patriot Act to spy on international bank transactions to – and conversations with – known terrorists, Democrats were all “wee-wee’d up.” Now, we’ve got those same Democrats about to give President Obama absolute control over private U.S. citizens’ information, even absent any kind of terrorist connection. Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet. They’re not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of...

Obamacare has already been proven unconstitutional…by the Supreme Court

Posted 27 Aug 2009 in Barack Obama, Big Brother, Democrats, healthcare, Obamacare

The last few days have heard a lot from pundits and legal experts alike, all weighing in that Obama’s “health care/heath insurance reform” is unconstitutional. The primary reason give is that the “individual mandate” is unconstitutional, because the government cannot force Americans to buy something they don’t want under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. But since none of these experts nor pundits are on the Supreme Court, their opinions don’t matter much. What does matter, however, is judicial precedent. In the 1992 case Planned Parenthood v. Casey, (505 U.S. 833) the Supreme Court ruled that a Pennsylvania law requiring spousal notification prior to obtaining an abortion was invalid under the Fourteenth Amendment because it “created an undue...

Eau de Nerd: Star Trek Cologne

Posted 26 Aug 2009 in humor, pop culture

Boldly smell like no man has smelled before (like virginity and desperation?). Coming soon to a parents’ basement near you. Via Wired: Humans and aliens alike swooned over Captain James T. Kirk, so it was only a matter of time before someone claimed to have bottled his charms. Firebox is now selling three scents designed specifically for Trekkies. The first, called Tiberius after none other than James T. himself, is “a casual yet commanding cologne spiked with freshness and sensuality. Citron zest, black pepper and cedar create refreshingly clear top notes, layered over a wooded, spicy scent.” (No mention there of alien gore or spacecraft exhaust fumes). For those who would admit to being a zero rather than a...

Obama cuts secret deal with PhRMA, Air America calls him "Fascist Liar"

Posted 25 Aug 2009 in Barack Obama, corruption, healthcare, hypocrisy, liberals, lies, Nancy Pelosi

The backroom deal between President Obama and “Big PhRMA” is a startling bit of hypocrisy, even for Obama. And that’s saying something. At the behest of its chief executive Billy Tauzin, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) has chosen to “accommodate a Washington takeover of health care at the expense of the American people in hopes of securing favourable treatment and future profits,” writes House Republican leader John Boehner in a letter to Mr Tauzin. The agreement, which Representative Boehner describes as cutting a deal with the “bully” of Big Government, “leaves your own customers and employees behind – and it now has all the markings of a deal gone soar,” he tells Mr Tauzin. Earlier this...

Outstanding grassroots argument against Obamacare

Posted 24 Aug 2009 in conservatism, Obamacare

A VERY sharp interview given by @cprater, recorded in front of Congressman David Scott’s office in Smyrna GA, on August 22, 2009. If the Republicans could get someone as articulate and well-informed as she to publicly counter the Democrats’ smear tactics, Obama’s totalitarian plans wouldn’t stand a chance. (Wait, that’s a bit too passive. Allow me to rephrase. WE need to make the effort to elect such well-informed and articulate people to represent us.) Thank goodness for active citizens. And the internet!

Marine vet blasts Congressman Baird for calling ObamaCare protesters ‘Brown Shirts’

Posted 23 Aug 2009 in Democrats, healthcare, military, Nancy Pelosi, outrage, teaparty

Brian Baird (D-WA) recently took a cue from Speaker Nancy Pelosi by demonizing citizens as Nazis if they dare express their concerns about the government’s attempted takeover of the American health care system: What we’re seeing right now is close to ‘Brown Shirt’ tactics. I mean that very seriously.” If you’re angered by such an outrageous statement from someone who supposedly represents his constituents, you’re not alone. Retired U.S. Marine David William Hedrick attended Rep. Baird’s town hall meeting this weekend to set the record straight. (h/t: Hot Air) “I will remind you; a little history lesson. The Nazis were the National Socialist Party. They were leftists. They took over the finances. They took over the car industry. They...

Congress is planning to raid EVERY state’s pension funds to prop up Social Security

Posted 22 Aug 2009 in call to action, Congress, corruption, Democrats, outrage, socialism, teaparty

A VERY disturbing rumor came out of the Townhall Meeting on Health Care Reform in Salado, TX today. @midlifechick just returned from TownHall meeting with her US Rep. John Carter (R-TX). Representative Carter informed the crowd that talk has been bandied about Congress to appropriate EVERY state’s pension plans into the bankrupt Social Security System. She is absolutely 100% sure that she understood him correctly. If this is allowed to happen, and I am going to stress again that at this point it is just an idea that has been submitted; the US will absolutely, 100% be a banana republic, a la Argentina… I would like to say that I am stunned, but given the track record of this...
