BLACKFIVE: The Reason To Delay Air Force One...#more#more

This is who George Bush is, this is what a commander does and this is the man Democrats hate.  I heard Obama say in his acceptance speech tonight we could not afford 8 more years of George Bush.  Really?

You can't make this stuff up!

Obama's "brown shirts" move to silence a MSM reporter.

Is there a pattern of suppression going on on behalf of Obama?  I find it a very disturbing trend.

In fairness, his assignment might have had nothing to do with his treatment here. Supposedly it was hotel management that got annoyed and called the cops because they objected to him blocking a private sidewalk. The cops came, he wouldn’t leave, so naturally they had to … shove him across the street and grab him by the throat. According to the Denver Post, it wasn’t just Boulder County police involved; at least one officer there, probably the one doing the shoving in the clip, was a hotel security guard wearing a sheriff’s uniform for whatever reason. Smart thinkin’ roughing a guy up from a national news bureau with cameramen standing by.

Intimidation - Change you can believe in.

Is intimidation of critics one of the changes Obama believes in?  Apparently so.

Stanley Kurtz's appearance on the Milt Rosenberg radio program in Chicago last night provided an unsettling look into the authoritarian tactics being employed by the Obama campaign to stifle and intimidate its critics.

How bad is the US Economy?

Does anyone question the idea that the US economy in its worst shape in recent history?  That seems to be common knowledge.  Everyone knows it's in the tank.  Right?  Perhaps a review of the facts.

I am going to spend a week or so researching the state of today's economy in an attempt to get to the truth.  A sampling of what I am finding.

The US Economy


The largest and still the most important market in the world, the United States of America’s economy is driven by consumers but is troubled by high debt levels.


The United States of America (US or USA) has the world’s largest economy. According to the CIA World Factbook, 2007 GDP is believed to be $13.84 trillion. This is three times the size of the next largest economy, Japan, which has a GDP of $4.4 trillion. US dominance has been eroded however by the creation of the European Union common market, which has an equivalent GDP of over $13 trillion, and by the rapid growth of the BRIC economies, in particular China, which is forecast to overtake the US in size within 30 years.

Obama OK'd ‘Live Born’ Abortion

Obama's record on abortion keeps working its way to the top.

Obama OK'd ‘Live Born’ Abortion

Sen. Barack Obama’s pick of Sen. Joseph Biden, a pro-choice Catholic, will most certainly raise the abortion issue to a new level in the campaign.

Obama’s own record on abortion is steeped in controversy.

Barack Obama not only has a perfect record in opposing pro-life legislation, he even fought against a bill protecting the right to life of a baby born alive.

From Michael Totten - we are not being told the truth about the war in Georgia.

From Michael Totten - we are not being told the truth about the war in Georgia.

TBILISI, GEORGIA – Virtually everyone believes Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili foolishly provoked a Russian invasion on August 7, 2008, when he sent troops into the breakaway district of South Ossetia. “The warfare began Aug. 7 when Georgia launched a barrage targeting South Ossetia,” the Associated Press reported over the weekend in typical fashion.

Virtually everyone is wrong. Georgia didn't start it on August 7, nor on any other date. The South Ossetian militia started it on August 6 when its fighters fired on Georgian peacekeepers and Georgian villages with weapons banned by the agreement hammered out between the two sides in 1994. At the same time, the Russian military sent its invasion force bearing down on Georgia from the north side of the Caucasus Mountains on the Russian side of the border through the Roki tunnel and into Georgia. This happened before Saakashvili sent additional troops to South Ossetia and allegedly started the war.

Obama seeks to silence ad tying him to 60s radical

DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama is striking back fiercely and swiftly to stamp out an ad that links him to a 1960s radical, eager to demonstrate a far more aggressive response to attacks than John Kerry did when faced with the 2004 "Swift Boat" campaign.

Obama not only aired a response ad to the spot linking him to William Ayers, but he sought to block stations the commercial by warning station managers and asking the Justice Department to intervene. The campaign also planned to compel advertisers to pressure stations that continue to air the anti-Obama commercial

Newsmax.com – Obama's Global Tax Plan

Change you can always believe in from a leftist - higher taxes.

Newsmax.com – Obama's Global Tax Plan 

The first bill sponsored by a new U.S. senator speaks volumes on his or her political philosophy. The first bill sponsored by Barack Obama, the Global Poverty Act of 2007 (S.2433), would impose a global tax of 0.7 percent of gross national product (GNP) on the United States.

Estimates are that the Obama bill could cost the United States a total of $845 billion above current spending on foreign aid.

Obama sponsored the bill, which has 23 liberal co-sponsors. Led by U.S. Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., Obama’s pick for vice-president, the co-sponsors include three Republicans: Richard Lugar, R-Ind., Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., and Gordon Smith, R-Ore.

Unearthed transcript shows Obama backed infanticide

That's gotta hurt!!

Unearthed transcript shows Obama backed infanticide

Unearthed transcript shows Obama backed infanticide
Has insisted his concern was abortion rights, but floor comments in 2002 contradict claim


Sen. Barack Obama has insisted he did not back a state bill protecting babies born alive from failed abortions because it would undermine Roe vs. Wade, but a newly unearthed transcript of his arguments from the floor of the Illinois Senate indicate otherwise.

According to the transcript, Obama said:

As I understand it, this puts the burden on the attending physician who has determined, since they were performing this procedure, that, in fact, this is a nonviable fetus; that if that fetus, or child – however way you want to describe it – is now outside the mother's womb and the doctor continues to think that it's nonviable but there's, let's say, movement or some indication that, in fact, they're not just coming out limp and dead, that, in fact, they would then have to call a second physician to monitor and check off and make sure that this is not a live child that could be saved.

EMP - a threat ignored

It seems that the government is either unwilling or simply overwhelmed by the thought of an EMP attack.  Their response is to simply ignore it.  Not a particularly smart idea.

 David Freddoso on Barack Obama & Born-Alive Infants Protection Act on National Review Online

 

It seems that, according to Obama, if by some miracle a baby survives a botched abortion, the solution is to simply let them die.  Since he is "pro-choice", does he believe this would be the child's choice were it presented to him?  The more I hear of this man, the more he sickens me.
