Holy Terror, Batman!

Back in the 1980s, we had a strong President in Ronald Reagan who re-built the Country's defenses after the debacle of Jimmy Carter. It cost money, but it was necessary. His depiction of the USSR as an evil empire was right on the money. Between his rhetoric and his efforts at defense, the USSR went bankrupt and ultimately dissolved during the George H W Bush administration. As a Country, we were the sole superpower, and we received respect and relative safety from the rest of the World's crazies.

Another Democrat Presidency in the Bill Clinton duo reduced our strength and respect around the World. The situation emboldened our enemies [we have and always will have enemies] to such an extent that an attack was successfully launched against us in the USA itself. That led to a War on Terror, for that is what it was: we were faced with a declaration of War by an insidious group of terroristic radicals under the guise of religion.

And what a religion! It's one which holds that all non-adherents are infidels, and they must be destroyed. It's a 'religion'---no, I believe it's just a cult. Strong, fanatical, and widespread, yes. But just a cult---not of peace, but of control, misogyny, lack of personal freedom and rights, and no desire for compromise. We can do nothing to appease the radical Islamists. We're the Great Satan, and our existence is not to be tolerated.

If these terror bearers can't do it from without, they'll try to do it from within. They demand more accommodations for their practices and training, and stupidly we give it to them. Christianity is anathema to the ACLU and public schools, but Islam isn't. Doesn't that begin to scare your neurons?

Leading up to this War on Terror, and after an 8 year war between a dictator and a theocracy in the Middle East, we freed Kuwait of an invasion by Saddam Hussein and his minions, beating the latter back to Bagdad.

But, Iraq broke its treaties, harbored terrorists and amassed weapons of mass destruction---yes, it had the latter. But they were transferred to Syria and beyond before we could inspect the area. Iraq of the time harbored and trained and cooperated with terrorists, as did Afghanistan. So, we set out to bring the War to the combined participants. We destroyed the administration of dictator and murderer Saddam Hussein and allowed Democracy to gain a hold. But, we need stability in the area, so we remain a presence.

In Afghanistan, we are fighting a terror network which was destroying the Afghan culture, training terrorists, and exporting terror throughout the World. This network was hiding the mastermind of the terror network which had attacked our New York City. We remain in battle against this element. But it isn't easy because of the culture and terrain and Liberal politics.

In the meantime, there have been no major terror attacks in the United States because of our policy of strength and retaliation. We have been bringing the battles to the enemies' strongholds.

But in recent years, we've allowed the Liberal faction of our Country to hold sway, thus our Country's strength and prestige has dwindled. We have a closet Islamicist as President. We've changed terminology. The War on Terror is now 'Overseas Contingency Operation.'

In fact, from an administration official we recent heard something akin to gobbledygook: ...”Craig Duehring, assistant secretary of the Air Force for manpower, said in congressional testimony: 'Key battlefield monetary incentives [have] allowed the Air Force to meet the demands of overseas contingency operations even as requirements continue to grow.'”

We have other changes. 'Jihadist' or 'mujahideen' have been replaced by 'violent extremist.' Also banned was the term 'Islamo-fascist' on the basis that it's offensive to the enemy.

Since our current President took office:
He has announced the closing of Guantanamo, thus releasing many terrorists to other countries, including island paradises.
Refused to prosecute the mastermind behind the bombing of the USS Cole, an act resulting in the loss of American lives.
Closed all overseas interrogation centers of the CIA.
Appointed a questionable Attorney General with Communist tendencies
His first television interview was with Al Arabia
His first telephone contacts with a foreign leader were with Fatah Party leader and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbass.
With no strings attached, the President has allocated $20 million in 'post-conflict humanitarian aid' to Palestine refugees and conflict victims in Gaza. This brings the total to $60 million in US commitments to Gaza.
Has allowed his appointees to inject racism into the National discourse in areas not having racist overtones or undertones.
Has cosied up to Communist dictator Chavez in Venezuela.
Has opposed the legal and constitutional ousting of a dictator-to-be in Honduras.
Has tepidly criticized the Scots for releasing the only convicted terrorist in the Lockerbie bombing. Instead of life, this guy was incarcerated for only 8 years, an insult to millions of people. And of course, when he returned to Libya he received a hero's welcome.

We have been permitting this Islamic cult to practice in the United States, allowing numerous Mosques throughout the Country. Nevermind that brainwashing and terrorist training taking place in such environments. We're told we have to be tolerant and hospitable. I wonder what the reaction would have been to allowing Nazis to build training centers and brainwashing facilities throughout the United States during WWII? Merge with the invaders and be the lesser for it?

We have---and ACLU is noticeably absent from the outrage---a San Diego School which has set aside about 15 minutes of the class day for Muslim students to pray---but God forbid that a Christian wants to do the same thing. This school's cafeteria has banned pork and other foods not in the Islamic diet. Study of Arabic has been added with Taliban appropriate segregation of boys and girls.
And remember, the Pledge of Allegiance is still banned as brainwashing.

The current President has permitted deficits of over a $trillion for the years into the future; spent us into bankruptcy that our descendents will be stuck with; has a healthcare proposal that will ruin the finest health care system in the World. Some of the funding for this proposal will come from cuts in Medicare and Medicaid, thus on the backs of the poor and elderly.

Illegal aliens won't be covered, says our President, so he proposes to make all illegal aliens legal so they can participate. Merge with the invaders again?

And of course, the President and Congress won't be relegated to this bourgeoisie type of health care. They'll get the finest. And they'll use their influence to demand it---now! Does anyone dispute the idea that the races for Congressional seats will be strongly influenced by the desire to get away from Obamacare?

Meanwhile, the Social Security system is headed toward bankruptcy and Congress and the President continue to ignore it. Remember, the Social Security trust is a file cabinet of IOUs from Congress. Perhaps Sandy Berger should be examining the files for the President and Congress so a reduction of IOUs can be claimed?

Indeed, Holy Terror, Batman! Holy Medical Terror, Batman! Holy Bankruptcy, Batman!

Easy Return, No Questions Asked

Me: According to Rasmussen Reports, General Motors is now promising a 60-day money-back guarantee to all purchasers of its cars and trucks. The government pretty much owns GM now, and the President felt it necessary to roll a head or two in his effort to not intervene in the private sector. But I wish that we had had a similar guarantee, say a year, for the Presidential administration. In that case, we could return the Obama crew to whence they came.

In his effort to keep religion out of our lives and that of the federal government, President Obama has praised Islam as it enters the fasting month of Ramadan. Unfortunately, he's only praising the adversary. Obama seems to be on the right course for welcoming the enemy to our dinner table and giving him our weapons, our daughters and our freedoms. At some point, I expect him to start spouting Sharia law.

An Obama supporter with her pixie dust.

Due to the left, it's mandatory to keep all religion out of the White House---except of course, Islam. This is the loony all you leftists stuck us with. Congratulations to you for sending this person to Washington to spin lies while the Country and culture face destruction.

Obama said Ramadan's rituals are a reminder of the principles Muslims and Christians have in common, including advancing justice, progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings. Is he for real? Islam is still in the 7th Century. And the stated and often spouted tenet of Islam is death to the infidel---not to mention the subservience of women. And the infidel is defined as any non-muslim. The western world has already faced the Muslim spread Islam by-the-sword hundreds of years ago. Charles Martel stopped them in France.

So how can we stop them now with such a wimpy President who thinks he can hold hands with the radical Muslims and secure peace? And his actions are leading to other's perception of our Country as weak.

Newsmax: "A weakened United States could start retreating from the world stage without help from its allies abroad, an international strategic affairs think tank said Tuesday."

Me: Is anyone surprised by this? We're pussyfooting around a culture that wants us dead; peace isn't an option with them. They're like the Germans in believing they're at the top of the evolutionary chart.

David Patten for Newsmax: On...[July 17]... Democrats moved one step closer to giving free health insurance to the nation's estimated 12 million illegal aliens when they successfully defeated a Republican-backed amendment...that would have prevented illegal aliens from receiving government-subsidized health care under the proposed plan backed by House Democrats and President Barack Obama."

Father Jonathan for Fox: "But let's be clear: there is no such thing as a fundamental human right to socialized medicine.

"Here's what to watch out for: a mucking up of ethical waters by the inference that the fundamental human right to basic health care is equivalent to a universal "right" to socialized medicine. In the coming days the president and his advisers will speak passionately, and often, about the estimated 46 million Americans without health care insurance. And they will do so in moralistic terms, haranguing Americans to feel outrage at the thought of so many poor, fellow citizens deprived of their rights.

"Emergency rooms in both public and private hospitals will attend to anyone in urgent need. Most of the 46 million people who do not have health insurance are middle class Americans who have opted out of purchasing it because of other financial priorities."

Me: Do the Democrats plan on closing down such places as St Jude's Children's Hospital and the Mayo Clinic and similar places because they aren't government run? Will the Shriners have to find a new charitable activity? How many children will die?

ABC News: "Devinsky [reporter] asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldn't seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan he's proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get...The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that if “it's my family member, if it's my wife, if it's my children, if it's my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care."

Me: Where will he fly them for treatment once he destroys the quality of American Medicine? Kenya? Canada? Great Britain?

Me again: Is any of this a surprise to sane Americans? Warnings about these socialist plans for health care as to be expected from an Obama administration were given constantly during the Presidential campaign. Yet, the amateur Obama was elected. How? Some Democrats always vote for the Democrat no matter who he is or what he might do. Others believed the palpable nonsense of Hope and Change his teleprompters spouted. [Well, they got it alright. Change downward is still a change.] Others didn't like McCain. And sadly, others voted for him simply because he was black. Yes, they are racists. It's a fact and should be considered. So, now we all suffer from a self-bloated and grossly interventionist government. This tragedy can be traced to the interfering Democrats in Congress, especially from 2006 to the present. Notably among the disaster meisters are Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, John Murtha, Ted Kennedy RIP, Robert Byrd, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid---and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Are we headed for another revolution? Possibly. Who knows? The American people are being pushed until their backs hit a wall. We have to keep fighting the current Congress and President. In 2010 we should remove all 435 House members and a third of the Senate. In 2012, we should put a Conservative in the White House to start cleaning up the mess and replace another third of the Senate. By 2014, we can vote out the remainder of the Senate and hopefully be on our way to some semblance of order.

Folks, I think this is an important little cartoon. Please watch, but you don't have to join anything to do so.
