No Time For Apathy

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, November 08, 2009 10:58:40 AM
Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have taken over health care.

Despite the tea parties, the town halls, the rallies and the protests, the House of Representatives passed the health care bill 220-215. The bill now heads to the Senate. The legislation on which Barack Obama has hinged his presidency is close to coming to fruition.

Unless we act.

Republicans, almost to a man, fought the good fight in attempting to stop this massive $2 trillion monstrosity from seeing the light of day. Rep. Candice Miller, R-Mich. said, "We are going to have a complete government takeover of our health care system faster than you can say, `this is making me sick.'" But in the end, the liberals rammed it through along party lines as they had planned to do all along. This is the arrogance of the left. A jubilant Pelosi even had the audacity to compare the legislation to the passage of Social Security in 1935 and Medicare 30 years later.

So are we doomed to Obamacare? Is this the end of the battle to prevent socialized medicine from taking over our health care system? Will we be like Europe or Canada, where people wait endlessly for life saving treatments? Will death panels determine ho lives and who dies?

That depends on the degree to which we allow apathy to take over.

It is so easy to become complacent and to decide that what the Democrats have done was inevitable. But this is no time for apathy.

Now is the time for us as Americans to rise up. The question is, do we have the backbone to do it? And if we do, is there a blueprint for getting it done?

The answer is unequivocally yes. And there are two excellent resources for stopping the oncoming juggernaut of massive government expansion.

The first is a new book by Don Crist. What Can I do? After The Tea Party offers outstanding ideas on how to take American angst toward bloated government to the next level. Crist provides a blueprint for organizing relatives, friends and neighbors in a cohesive effort to stop those in Washington who wish to take away our liberties and erode our form of government to the point where what the Founding Fathers intended becomes unrecognizable.

The second resource for putting the brakes on government control of our lives is a relatively new organization called Pinecone Conservatives(www.pineconeconservatives.org). This group has as its mission statement "motivating all voters that share our desire for a return to fiscal responsibility and conservative thoughts to our local, state and national communities". When joining their forum, you receive a free practical guide to conservative community organizing. This guide offers insightful ideas on how to coordinate efforts to stop government from completely taking over our lives.

These two excellent resources provide a method for taking the anger that many conservatives feel toward what the Obama administration has done and designing a proactive plan to stop it utilizing the greatest asset available: people.

We do have a choice. We can be apathetic. Or we can take our nation back.

Zero Tolerance To The Max

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, October 18, 2009 4:12:12 PM
Three stories in the news this week pointed out the lunacy of what has become known as "zero tolerance".

In the first case, a 6-year-old boy was suspended and threatened with reform school because he brought a camping utensil to school. Zachary Christie, a first-grader at Downes Elementary School in Newark, Del., was so proud of the spoon-fork-knife combination gift that he wanted to show it off and use it to eat his lunch. He was by all accounts a good student, who sometimes wore suits to school because he took his education seriously. He was also a Cub Scout.

The school clearly overreacted. At best the school officials should have taken the "weapon" away from the boy and promised to return it to him at the end of the day. They should have explained that bringing such a tool to school is not allowed. And they should have left it at that. Instead, they chose to make an example of this fine young man. It was only after the story went national, and a huge uproar ensued, that the officials relented.

In the second case of zero tolerance gone wild, a 17-year-old Eagle Scout was suspended because he had a knife in a survival kit locked in his car. It was a gift from his grandfather, a police chief in a nearby town. He did not bring the knife into the school. Initially Matthew Whalen was suspended for five days. But the superintendent of the Troy, N.Y. school district tacked on an additional 15 days after a hearing. The superintendent, George J. Goodwin, 55, said in a written statement that his district "has an established policy of zero tolerance with respect to the possession of weapons of any kind on school property or in school buildings." He refuses to budge on the suspension, despite the young man's excellent academic and behavioral record. The suspension could affect Whalen's record at West Point, as the military academy considers his moral and ethical fiber. Goodwin should lose his job over this dumb decision.

The third case of zero tolerance revolves around radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh and his thwarted attempt at purchasing the St. Louis Rams.

False allegations of racism on the part of Limbaugh prompted by unsubstantiated quotes attributed to him and milked by race baiters Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton derailed his bid to become a minority stakeholder in the Rams. His potential business partners panicked, and the liberal NFL itself, clearly not wanting any problems from the players union, caved.

Zero tolerance for conservative thought on the part of football.

Limbaugh should take legal action, as he was the victim of character assassination. All involved in this fiasco need to pay dearly for this abomination.

And these idiots Jackson and Sharpton should be put in their place once and for all. Jackson is not only a race baiter, he is a racist who referred to Jews as "Hymies" and to New York City as "Hymietown" in January 1984 during a conversation with Washington Post reporter Milton Coleman. Sharpton, who has made a living out of shooting his mouth off, was brought to task by Limbaugh in an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal in which Limbaugh pointed out that Sharpton was responsible for the 1991 Crown Heights riot ... and 1995 Freddie's Fashion Mart riot."
What Sharpton and Jackson need is a liberal dose of "shut up" and a lawsuit resulting in punitive damages would go a long way to achieve that.

There should be zero tolerance for zero tolerance.

Will Obama Silence The Opposition?

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, September 27, 2009 10:54:52 AM
In recent weeks, a serious threat has emerged to the liberties of every American with regard to free speech in this country.

This threat has come in many forms and from many fronts.

Cass Sunstein, Barack Obama's newly confirmed regulatory czar, believes that the government should be able to force broadcasters to air "diversity" ads, which would be a backdoor attempt at reconstituting the Fairness Doctrine.

In his 1993 book "The Partial Constitution", Sunstein wrote "If it were necessary to bring about diversity and attention to public matters, a private right of access to the media might even be constitutionally compelled. The notion that access will be a product of the marketplace might well be constitutionally troublesome."

Sunstein would like to see the creation of a "First Amendment New Deal", or a new "Fairness Doctrine" that would include the establishment of a panel of "nonpartisan experts" to ensure "diversity of view" on the airwaves.

Obviously, this would result in time constraints to the private broadcasting companies, which would be forced to give up valuable revenue-generating advertising slots to air these diversity ads. This could also result in programming changes on conservative stations, which might be forced to drop certain hosts or programs to prevent having to equalize all points of view.

At the same time, there is a new bill being drafted behind closed doors in the Senate, S.773 (excerpt) which would give the White House the authority to seize control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency. In effect, the Internet would be shut down at a moment's notice due to some perceived (or conceived) threat. After all, wasn't it Rahm Emanuel who said "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

If the threat to broadcasters and the Internet aren't bad enough, Obama is now thinking about bailing out the failing newspapers in this country. There are several bills in congress that would boost the newspaper sector, including a senate bill that would allow newspaper companies to reformulate themselves as nonprofits with a variety of tax breaks. These newspapers would then be print versions of PBS and NPR, which would, in effect make them mouthpieces for the government. The White House could control the advertising and all editorial content appearing in these papers.

Obama already has the mainstream media in his back pocket. All of the major networks and most of the print media are in the tank for this guy. But it still sticks in his craw that there are those outlets that offer opposition to his policies. Several attempts have been made to demonize those who share disparate views. Charges of racism have been leveled against those who oppose health care, cap and trade, the stimulus and our increasing budget deficit.

The charges of racism won't be enough, however, to keep Obama's critics quiet. So other steps must be taken to stave off the growing cacophony of voices that stand to hold this regime's forces at bay. Pushing for another Fairness Doctrine for broadcasters, taking control of the print media through a financial bailout of the newspapers, and the authority to shut down the Internet at a moment's notice, might just give our government a way to silence all of Obama's opposition.

Scary thought.

All The President's Race Baiters

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, September 20, 2009 11:32:41 AM
Barack Obama sold himself during the presidential campaign of 2008 as a uniter. He was going to bridge the racial divide in the United States, healing wounds of the past and putting this country on the road to a point where skin color and ethnicity would no longer be an issue polarizing its citizens.

Didn't happen.

Despite his smooth talk and his appealing personality, it soon became apparent that the people with whom Obama surrounded himself were anything but racial healers. Reverend Jeremiah Wright surfaced first with his rants about the evils of the white race, with ludicrous charges of AIDS being a creation of those wishing to exterminate the black race. Obama claimed to high heaven that he never sat in that church in Chicago where Wright preached his message of hate, yet he was a member of that congregation over 20 years, was married there and had his children baptized there.

There were some who questioned whether the influence of such as pastor would leave an indelible mark on Obama, one that would later raise the ugly specter that any criticism of this future president might lead to accusations of racism.

This has now come to pass.

Many times since this president has taken office, those who have questioned Obama's policies have been met with charges that any disapproval is racially motivated. Janeane Garafolo, in an appearance at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. on Aug. 21, ripped into tea party protesters, or what some of of the left have deemed “tea baggers” calling them “functionally retarded adults” and “racists.”

“Do you remember tea baggers?” Garofalo said. “It was just so much easier when we could just call them racists. I just don’t know why we can’t call them racists, or functionally retarded adults.”

The flap over Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst at Obama's address to the joint session of Congress took an unexpected turn when several prominent people, from HBO's Bill Maher, to former president Jimmy Carter blamed racism as his motivation. Many Democrat politicians, including Hank Johnson of Georgia, chimed in and echoed these sentiments, leading to Wilson's rebuke on the floor of the House of Representatives.

There has been a deafening silence from the White House with regard to these charges of racism.

Barack Obama has had several opportunities to address these charges and lay the issue to rest. To his credit, he did tell CNN that he believed criticism of his health care agenda was not motivated by race. But because he took so long to come out and say something, his words rang hollow. He could have given a speech to the nation, admonishing those who would throw up the race card every time he is criticized to "knock it off", as these charges are idiotic, and do nothing to advance the debate on health care and other issues.

He did not. And by not being forceful on this issue, Obama is, in effect, giving a wink and a nod to those who use race baiting as a method to stave off challenges to his agenda.

This will only serve to further divide the nation. And it might work to the detriment of the African-American community with regard to political aspirations. If a black president cannot be criticized on policy without race being thrown out as the motivation behind it, one has to wonder if the nation is really ready for a black president.

It is a shame that this question needs to be asked.

September Mourning The War On Terror

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, September 13, 2009 10:54:45 AM
Everyone remembers where they were on that beautiful September morning in 2001, when almost 3000 of our fellow citizens were brutally murdered in the most horrific attack on our country since Pearl Harbor. The memories of that terrible day are forever etched in the minds and hearts of most Americans.

The current administration, however, is defecating on the graves of those who lost their lives by diminishing the importance of fighting the war on the radical Islamic forces that would seek to do us harm again.

Barack Obama is hell-bent on closing Guantanamo, and bringing the detainees to the shores of the United States, putting them in prisons largely reserved for common criminals. Many of these detainees will be given rights to challenge their detention, and some will be released, where they will be free to plot further attacks on our country. Even those who remain confined will have the ability to communicate with members of sleeper cells operating within the United States.

Obama is also planning on giving rights to detainees being held at the America-run prison at the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. They will be allowed to call witnesses and present evidence in their defense.

Subsequent to 9/11, the Bush administration took steps to help prevent another attack by implementing policies to help gain valuable information regarding future plots. These policies included tactics that some have referred to as torture. We now know that the use of waterboarding on such terrorists as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed resulted in information which did indeed help to foil plans by terrorists to strike America again. These tactics have now been discontinued by the current administration.

In separate interviews with Newsmax, former counterterrorism experts Ken Clizbe and Michael Scheuer indicated that we are now woefully unprepared with regards to the terror threat to America.

Clizbe says it is "indisputable" that moves by Obama with regards to intelligence agents have undermined the global war on terror. With Obama allowing Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the interrogation of terrorists detainees by the CIA.
Scheuer said "Mister Obama doesn't appear to have a clue about what the world is and how it works. He's surrounded himself with surrenderists left over from the Clinton administration. And I think he really is a man who doesn't have much interest in America. He appears to be more concerned with what the world thinks of him. "

Obama has diminished the memories of those who lost their lives on that fateful day in 2001 by putting an end to the terms 'war on terror', and 'terrorist attack', and replacing them with 'overseas contingency operation' and 'man-made disaster'. And his speech on the anniversary of the attacks in which he emphasized public service over the remembrance of our fellow citizens who died, insults the families and friends who lost their loved ones.

It is truly unfortunate that due to Obama's attempt to placate the terrorists and their sympathizers, combined with his arrogance in building his legacy, he may actually be helping to create further national days of mourning in the United States for years to come.

Obama May Actually Save Our Nation

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, September 06, 2009 12:13:31 PM
The election of Barack Obama may actually be the best thing that ever happened to our nation, if he and the liberals don't destroy it first.

Increasing evidence appears to indicate a significant shift to the right in this country, since Obama's victory last November. A recent Gallup poll shows that people who identify themselves as conservative outnumber liberals in every state in the Union. Witness the tea parties, the town hall meetings, and the rise in the sale of conservative books.

Why the swing to the right? America is finally waking up and realizing that this country elected a Marxist president who surrounded himself with the most radical group of individuals ever assembled in Washington. And this realization has sparked an anger not seen in many years.

How did this happen in just a few short months?

In order to understand the revolt of the American people, one must examine why Obama was elected in the first place.

Obama preached a message of hope and change, and an electorate tired of eight years of Bush ignored many of the specifics of the changes Obama wanted to bring about. Instead, they bought the 'sizzle', not the steak. If they had done their homework then, as they have subsequently done with regards to the health care bill, they would never have voted for someone hell bent on taking this country so far to the left as to be unrecognizable from what the founders planned.

But whether due to being mesmerized by his eloquent pre-packaged speeches, or the opportunity to make history by putting the first black man in the White House, voters ignored Obama's associations with people of questionable character and his own checkered past, and thrust him into a position that he would use to radically alter the nation.

Those same voters are now suffering buyer's remorse. The stimulus package which was sold as one that would create up to 4 million jobs, has now resulted in a 9.7 percent unemployment rate, the highest in 26 years. Bailouts of major financial institutions and the car companies, has given rise to the impression that Obama and his minions are attempting to nationalize the private sector. And Obama's radical, anti-American czars have proven that he is naive at least in choosing his associates, or a Marxist at worst planning on changing the very foundation of our country.

All of this has combined to trigger that innermost part of the American psyche that shows who we really are: traditionalists who do not want to see the face of our nation changed.

While the mainstream media is still in the tank for Obama, the alternative news sources and the blogosphere have shown a dramatic increase in conservative thought and its resulting angst.

There are some who dismiss this shift to the right as merely a reflection of the change of power in Washington. The publishers of many of the conservative books that have begun flying off the shelves say this was expected. When one party is out of office, people look for and respond to those in the media who can support their cause and empathize with their frustration.

But it may be more than that. Some experts in the media say that the increase in conservative thought in books and the Internet is the result of what is perceived as an elite mainstream press that dismisses conservative opinion and traditionalist values. In other words, the media ignores the heartland of America.

The anger resulting from the health care debacle combined with the radical plans of an administration gone out of control may result in significant losses for the liberals in the midterm elections of 2010. There are those who see the distinct possibility that conservatives may re-take the House and Senate, leaving Obama and his czars crippled in their attempt to damage our nation irreparably. This could even bode well for the next presidential election in 2012.

However, there is still time for the leftists to harm our country within the next 14 months. That is why it is imperative that the people continue to speak out and hold the politicians' feet to the fire on every issue from health care to the economy, and from every move by this administration to trample on the rights of American citizens.

If the people can stave off the attempts by the liberals to destroy our country between now and November of 2010, history may prove that that it was the election of Barack Obama that triggered the return of this nation to what the Founding Fathers intended.

An Unprecedented Power Grab

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, August 30, 2009 11:33:46 AM
We stand at a crossroads in our nation's history. Barack Obama and his minions are attempting an unprecedented power grab. If they are allowed to succeed, it will forever change our country, and it will definitely diminish the rights of every American citizen.

Obama has appointed no less than 37 czars that answer only to him. Even the House and Senate have no power over them. These czars have very radical backgrounds.

John Holdren, the science czar, advocated population control and mandatory abortions. Van Jones, the environmental czar, was profiled byGlenn Beck extensively last week on his popular Fox News program. He is an avowed communist with ties to black nationalism and anarchism. Jones was also affiliated with the Weather Underground, the group Bill Ayers is famous for, which was responsible for blowing up buildings - and apologetically.

With all of these radicals advising Obama on policy, one has to wonder what kind of moves he will make to ensure that these policies are implemented.

Obama has talked of building a civilian national security force. What will be its purpose? Will it be to control the citizenry if they revolt against the policies of a Marxist regime? The military itself is currently recruiting men and women to work in internment camps. (See an ad for an internment specialist on the Army's website here.) Where will these camps be located? And whom are they intended to confine?

There has been talk of the FCC re-implementing the Fairness Doctrine or some form of it, for the purpose of effectively silencing the opposition to Obama's policies. Now comes word that a Senate bill would give the White House the power to disconnect private sector computers from the Internet. The Obama regime claims it would only utilize that power in a cybersecurity emergency. But who determines what constitutes an emergency? These questions remain unanswered.

The American people have responded to Obama's health care plan powerfully, speaking up at town hall meetings, demanding answers from their senators and representatives regarding a 1000 plus page bill that many of them have not taken the time to read. Citizens on all sides of the political spectrum are abhorred by the idea of losing their choices when it comes to medical treatment. And there is a legitimate fear that bureaucrats will make decisions on who is worthy to live and when the proverbial plug should be pulled.

But while the reaction to health care is laudable, it may be a case of not seeing the forest for the trees. There is a much larger picture here with regard to the government attempting to take complete control of the lives of its citizens.

We must remain vigilant to everything this administration is attempting to do. If not, we will soon find ourselves in a country our Founding Fathers would not recognize.

The Health Care Nazis Are Hearing Us

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, August 16, 2009 10:23:47 AM
The health care fascists are getting an earful these days.

Nazi Pelosi and Harry Reich have called those who disagree with Barack Obama's plan to put us all under a single payer health care system "un-American". Pelosi claims that swastikas have been worn at town hall meetings.

Yes, congress is getting an earful during their summer recess. The people have read the House bill and they are not pleased to say the least. They are taking their displeasure to their senators and representatives. The politicians, who have not taken the time to peruse this massive 1018 page monstrosity, cannot answer the tough questions being put to them about the provisions of this bill because they are deliberately ignorant of its contents. So they simply deny what they have written and claim the people are stupid.

Obama continues to claim that the protests are sponsored by right wing extremists and the insurance companies, villains all that need to be quashed. Obama says he never favored a single payer plan, yet video of him addressing union thugs from the AFL-CIO during his presidential campaign indicates otherwise. So either Obama was lying when he said he was a proponent of single payer health care then, or he is lying when he says he does not favor it now. Either way, Obama is a liar.

The Constitution guarantees us the right to freedom of assembly and freedom of speech. For the first time in a long time, the people are exercising those rights. And the Founding Fathers of this nation would be proud. Our country was founded on principles designed to liberate us from tyranny, the same tyranny that our current government is attempting to impose on us once again.

The Democrats were under the impression that they were going to ram this bill down the throats of the American people with virtually no problems. They have the votes after all, and the Republicans are impotent to stop them. Their mistake was assuming that only conservatives would oppose them. They failed to understand that this is not a left-right issue. It is a 'people' issue, and the people do not want their health care tampered with. They do not want to lose their plan or their doctor, which this bill would clearly force them to do. They don't want death panels determining who lives and who dies based on bureaucratic bean counters. They don't want to wait eighteen months for an MRI, and three years or more for a hip replacement. The people do not want to have life-extending treatments such as chemotherapy rationed.

Yes, the people are angry and they are vocal. The politicians don't like it when their constituents speak up and hold them accountable for their actions. Congress doesn't like hearing the words "you work for us!" shouted at them. Every few years they just want the peons to cast their votes and go away.

This time it's not happening. And the health care Nazi's in Washington are finally seeing that.

Disinfecting Obama's Health Care Plan

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, August 02, 2009 10:57:50 AM
Barack Obama is a liar.

Make no mistake about it, the usurper to the Oval Office out and out lied to the American people regarding his plan to nationalize health care. In the first place, he claims his plan is not to actually take over the health care system and make it a government run program. But he was contradicted on this by Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank, both of whom claim there are forces afoot trying to stop "government run health care."

Obama also lied when he said that the Democrat's plan would allow anyone who is currently satisfied with their plan to keep it. And if they are happy with their doctor, they can keep their physician as well. But anyone who has taken the time to read this 1018 page bill, (thanks for nothing, John Conyers), finds that if your employer decides that Obamacare is a more cost-effective way to go, you are stuck with the government plan. You cannot opt to switch to another private carrier on your own once Obamacare takes effect. If you're self-employed and are dissatisfied with your current provider once the government plan is passed, you can only switch to Obamacare. If you are uninsured at the time Obamacare is passed, that is your only option. And if you choose not to enroll, you will be subject to a punitive tax.

There is a rift developing in the Democrat party over the health care issue. Blue Dogs are opposed to the plan, and at least in the House have worked out a compromise that still keeps many of Obama's plans intact. A full House vote on the plan will not come until September, with the Senate expected to take it up in the fall. House Republicans offered their own $700 billion plan that included tax credits to help people buy insurance, which appealed to moderate Democrats, but with Republicans out of power, that plan will go nowhere.

Now with the August recess underway, the American people have an opportunity to visit with their congressmen and women, and give them an earful. New polls indicate people are not happy with Obamacare the more they learn about it.

They hear horror stories about how nationalized health care has worked in other countries such as Canada and Great Britain. People in those nations wait an interminable amount of time for procedures such as an MRI. Treatments such as chemotherapy for cancer are actually rationed in Canada. One 85 year old woman in Great Britain is on a waiting list for a hip replacement that is scheduled for the year 2018. This is a nightmare.

A single payer health care system will drive physicians out of the medical profession in droves. If health care professionals feel that they are hogtied in making decisions on their patients' medical treatment options because of government bureaucrats pulling tight purse strings, they will opt to find another profession. This will create the long waits to get in to see a doctor.

Another disturbing aspect of Obamacare is the idea that it will lead to a degradation of human life. Mathews Staver, founder of Liberty Council, said "In the same way that the bill pushes elderly or the sick toward euthanasia, it is a pill that would cause economic suicide. "It's a euthanasia bill for America."

Obama claims he only wishes senior citizens to consider the creation of living wills, for the purpose of letting their families and physicians know their wishes when it comes to end of life issues. In reality, what this health care bill does is to ask older Americans who may be facing a health problem requiring treatment which the government is loathe to pay for, to fall on their swords and die for the good of their country. Death becomes the patriotic thing to do under Obamacare.

Health care has become the defining issue of Obama's so-called presidency. South Carlina Senator Jim Demint said "Senators and Congressmen will come back in September afraid to vote against the American people," adding that "this health care issue Is D-Day for freedom in America. "If we’re able to stop Obama on this it will be his Waterloo. It will break him."

The American people can help make that Waterloo happen by bombarding their Congressmen and Senators with their opposition to this horrible socialistic health care plan.

Sunlight is the greatest disinfectant. And the sunlight of truth will expose the lies of Barack Obama and the Democrats when it comes to reforming health care.

Message To Medved: Birthers Are Not Pathetic Losers

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, July 26, 2009 10:55:18 AM
The other day I was listening to Michael Medved going on one of his rants against the "birthers", those individuals who question Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president of the United States because of the lack of evidence that he is a natural born American citizen.

Medved referred to them as 'pathetic losers', lumping them in with conspiracy theorists who believe 911 was an inside job. He also took a swipe at Joseph Farah and his outstanding news website World Net Daily, for devoting a lot of coverage to the story.

What Medved fails to realize is that to many of us in this nation, the Constitution matters. Article II of the Constitution clearly states that "no person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of the President". To date, Barack Obama has provided no proof that he was indeed born in this country. There is a Certification of Live Birth posted online, but that is not a birth certificate. It is merely a birth announcement, a document which indicates that somewhere else, a birth certificate exists.

If Barack Obama does not meet the constitutional requirements to fill the office of President, every decision he makes is unconstitutional and puts our nation in a crisis which could result in disaster.

Several lawsuits have been filed regarding the birth certificate issue. To date, these lawsuits have gone nowhere. And it doesn't help that pundits like Medved dismiss the validity of these suits as frivolous, and those who show concern about our laws as losers.

Medved is a shill for the Republican party. He constantly berates those who don't tow the Republican line or carry their water. He doesn't understand that many of us have had it with "republicanism", which has in many ways become indistinguishable from liberalism. Many in the Republican party have abandoned conservative values, signed off on bigger government, and have thrown our Constitution under the bus.

Any talk of a third party returning our nation to the principles that our founding fathers intended gets a snicker from Medved, who considers such discussion a waste of time.

Our country has drifted so far away from what it stood for in the beginning. We are on a fast track toward socialism. Each day we get closer to the point from which there may be no return. We need real leaders, true statesmen who want to represent the people and follow the Constitution.

That document requires that our president be a natural born citizen. Until Barack Obama proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is legitimate, he should be considered a usurper to the Oval Office. And Republican shills like Medved should stop insulting those of us who want the rule of law to be honored.

Let's Call Liberal Intention What It Is - Evil

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, July 12, 2009 1:10:39 PM
Oxford's dictionary defines evil as "profoundly immoral and malevolent." In taking a serious look at what Barack Obama and the Democrats in congress are doing to this nation, one must try to determine their intent.

Many conservative pundits and talk show hosts have been postulating that although misguided and mistaken, the ideas being put forth by the liberals in Washington are well-intentioned. Whether it be raising taxes to pay for a massive boondoggle such as a nationalized health care system, cap and trade to save the planet from climate change, or genuflecting to our enemies in a vain attempt to stop them from blowing up the world with their nukes, some on the right give the left a pass by saying "they mean well, they just don't get it."

What conservatives are either missing or unwilling to admit, is that there is a deliberate attempt by the left to destroy this nation. The liberals hate this country and everything it stands for. They always have, and they always will. They are not patriots.

The left wishes to see our country humbled and humiliated in the eyes of the rest of the world, to see us get what they believe is our comeuppance for sins of the past.

To that extent, they want to destroy our economic system, and leave us vulnerable to attacks by those who wish to see us brought to our knees. The intent behind this can only be described as pure evil.

The founding fathers put forth a nation designed to wrench free its citizens from tyranny and oppression. They knew that an overreaching government can only stifle the spirit of a people yearning to be free. They didn't consider King George to be misguided but well-intentioned. They knew that the oppression he was imposing on his people was done consciously and with careful consideration. And any attempt to subject a citizenry to unjust and prolonged control can only have malevolent thought behind it.

To say that Barack Obama and the liberals have the best interest of the nation at heart is ludicrous. They have only their own self-interest at heart. They want to expand their power base, while diminishing the power of the people to prosper and grow through the freedom that less government control provides.

Any rational human being can only come to the conclusion that pure evil is behind an attempt to permanently damage our country and its way of life to the extent that we may never recover.

This is evil that must be stopped. Wake up, people.

Palin's Move A Risky One

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, July 05, 2009 1:17:11 PM

Sarah Palin's abrupt decision to step down as governor of Alaska has left many people on both sides of the aisle scratching their heads.

Palin has successfully survived fifteen ethics complaints. Her Lt. Governor, Sean Parnell who will succeed her at the end of this month, said Sunday that "she has plenty of time now within which to define how she will further her core values."

Her announcement leaves open the possibility that she will run for higher office. Some on the right, such as William Kristol of the Weekly Standard, have said her move was 'crazy like a fox', and that this will be the launching pad for a GOP presidential bid.

The reasoning that putting the distractions of her current office behind her to concentrate on a higher calling doesn't wash with some, however, who believe that she will be viewed as a quitter. Others have said that if she believes that resigning the governorship will help her to avoid further scrutiny, she is sadlymistaken. Mike Huckabee, appearing on Fox News Sunday, said  "it could be a brilliant strategy. The point is we don't know. It's risky in that there's no forgone conclusion as to whether it will play out."

Palin is a polarizing figure in American politics. She has a huge fan base, who like her spunk, her down-to-earth attitude and her common sense approach to the issues.

But she has her detractors who view her as less than competent. Quin Hillyer, in a piece in the American Spectator, wrote that "Sarah Palin's resignation is an appalling dereliction of duty and a highly cynical move to set herself up for a presidential run for which she is manifestly unqualified."

It is highly doubtful that Palin's resignation means that she is retiring from public life. More than likely, it is probably a move meant to keep her popularity as a national figure high, even as her popularity within her own state continues to decline.

The issue of whether she should have finished out her term as governor before launching a campaign for higher office is the one that has people talking. If she was afraid that running for a second term as governor and losing would make her damaged goods as a presidential candidate, she could have simply chosen to sit out the next gubernatorial election. But why quit in the middle of here first term?

We don't know the answer to that question yet. But if indeed she has aspirations for higher office, her move may prove to be a risky one.

One More Tragic Celebrity

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, June 28, 2009 10:32:20 AM
The man can only be considered a tragic figure in history.

An ego a mile wide, yet insecure at the same time. His parents were both pathetic losers. He grew up seeking the adulation of others, feeding off the constant attention. Surrounding himself with people of questionable morals and values, who took advantage of him, riding his coattails as he climbed the ladder of success through superficiality.

He abused drugs, as many celebrities did. He engaged in questionable acts, as those seeking fame and fortune often do.

Yet people continued to enable him, telling him what he wanted to hear. "You're the greatest", they'd say. "You've got it all. You can do anything!" And he ate it up. He was, after all, a part of pop culture as much as anything else.

No one ever held him to account. No one dared criticize him. He was never taken to task. Those few who knew the truth about him, those who saw the disaster that was his life were not allowed in his inner circle. And anyone who got close to exposing him was dismissed immediately.

There were scandals in his life that made huge headlines. Somehow he managed to skate by most of them.

He was a celebrity. He was a rock star. He fashioned himself a king. And his adoring fans bestowed that title upon him and coronated him with their undying love.

His fans swooned at his appearance. They gathered in all four corners of the globe just to get a glimpse of him. In fact, he was bigger in Europe and other parts of the world than he was here in the United States.

Of course, there were those who saw through the facade. There were people who could tell that beneath that sleek exterior, lay a chasm filled with emptiness.

Many in this nation are in mourning right now because of this man. They are deeply saddened. Their grief is profound. There is a deep sense of loss because of what his very existence meant to our country.

He will continued to be talked about. He lives on after all, and his legacy will build over time. Someday, he may even be a bigger figure in history than those who came before him. He may overshadow Elvis in popularity for all we know. Only time will tell.

For now, those who shed tears because of this man can find comfort in the fact that eventually he will be replaced with someone else.

Hopefully, this new person will not allow the trappings of celebrity to get the best of him or her. They will instead, act responsibly. They will not be an embarrassment to this nation as this "rock star" was before them.

Yes, he will be replaced. No one is irreplaceable. Not even this celebrity.

Not Barack Obama.

Walpingate May Prove Obama's Waterloo

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, June 21, 2009 11:54:52 AM

The scandal brewing in Washington regarding the firing of an Inspector General who was in the process of investigating one of Barack Hussein Obama’s cronies is threatening to rock the very foundation of his presidency.

Gerald Walpin, who until recently was the chief watchdog for Americorps and other service programs, was terminated because he exposed misuse of federal grant money by Kevin Johnson, the mayor of Sacramento and a close friend of Obama’s who heads a non-profit education group. Johnson also misused Americorps volunteers for personal purposes by having them work in political campaigns and wash his car.

In a lengthy interview on my radio program, Walpin said he was fired for doing his job, and that the reasons that have been given for his dismissal, that he was incoherent and disoriented, are baseless.

Some prominent Republicans, including Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa and Representative Darrell Issa of California are calling for a more complete explanation. Grassley wants to know what role if any Michelle Obama may have played in Walpin’s firing. Senators Mike Enzi of Wyoming and Orrin Hatch of Utah sent a letter to the White House requesting more information. The protocol surrounding the termination of Inspectors General was not even followed.

For an administration that promised transparency and open government, the lack of full disclosure regarding Walpin’s firing reeks of a personal vendetta and a subsequent cover-up.

Nothing short of a full congressional investigation is called for in this case. But with the Democrats controlling the House and the Senate…good luck.

Obama Surrenders To Radical Islam

Posted by David Zublick on Sunday, June 14, 2009 11:12:28 AM



With the dropping of the phrase "war on terror" and his recent diatribe in Cairo, Barack Hussein Obama has effectively waved the white flag at the radical faction of Islam that would seek to destroy us.

Hussein Obama, now recognizing his Muslim roots, has reached out with open arms to the very people who on September 11, 2001 murdered nearly 3000 of our fellow citizens in one of the most horrific attacks ever perpetrated on a nation.

Why is he doing this?

For one of two reasons. Some would have us believe that by Hussein Obama embracing Islam, the violence and jihad will end and we will reach some sort of common ground on which to forge a new relationship. Others say that Hussein Obama is in the camp of the jihadists, winking and nodding at thugs like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose re-election in Iran was fixed by the government because they know that the United States has reversed over 30 years of policy regarding their nuclear ambitions.

Evidence seems to indicate the latter view.

Through his cozying up to the Islamic world, Hussein Obama has also thrown Israel under the bus, leaving them under a severe threat of annihilation by enemies such as Iran and the Palestinians hell bent on their destruction.

One can only conclude that Hussein Obama is a radical Islamic sympathizer, now proudly admitting that he is one of them, prostrating our country before them, and surrendering the United States to their agenda of conversion or obliteration.

Allah must be smiling.
