Ron Paul, Civil Liberties Groups Decry Killing of American Militant Without a Trial

As stupid as I believe Ron Paul is, I have to agree with his assessment of this killing. We do have Article 10 of the U.S. Constitution that guarantees a justice trial.

Obama, in his narcissistic, way now seems to believe he has become God-like and owns the power of life and death over the American citizenry. Not true.

Admittedly, this Al Awlki guy was a rotten apple. He used a bogus Yemeni passport to attend university in the U.S. for free, advancing all the way to the MS in Engineering. He ran a hate filled website, he spread his hate through social networking sites like Facebook. He was intimately involved (apparently) with a number of terrorist attacks and the attackers. But...

It would have been so easy. Obama signed Al Awlki for death more than 5 months ago. It seems it would have been an easy thing to try Al Awlki "in abstentia," found him guilty and sentenced him to death. But obvioulsy, that would have interfered with Obama's Texas Sized Ego.

Obama Getting Mileage Out of Economic Proposals on Fundraising Stump

The is a perfect example of Obama's entire presidency. Speech after speech. Demands for reform while pandering to the rich and influential. Then when his policies fail he blames - Hurricanes, Typhoons, the Republican Party, the Tea Party, traitors within the Democratic Party and everyone else he can think of. This president NEVER takes responsibility.

His domestic/economic policies have placed the US in serious jeopardy. His flawed foreign policy has placed the middle east in turmoil and now threatens Israel and ultimately this country too. He has taught the world that the U.S. is the "weak sister" who sides with Muslims even in the face of warnings of terror.

This is the president who removed those who risked their lives on 9/11, all religions and everyone who was not personally hand picked from the 9/11 anniversary. And what did the 9/11 speech turn into? A bashing session of the Republicans and Tea Party.

The yoyo wants nothing in live but to be re-elected even though he bankrupts the country and places us in the position of allowing another 9/11.

Morgan Freeman on the Tea Party: 'It is a Racist Thing

I have long been a fan of Morgan Freeman's acting. But where did this come from? Someone needs to set Freeman straight. Agreed there is a lot of racism in the US. Obama is racist. There is racism still existing in the deep south. There is racism existing in many of the rural areas. What does that have to do with the Tea Party?

I believe in the tea party and what they stand for as do many Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Does that mean that we are all Racist? I was a Selma Bus Rider way back in the 1960's. Where was Freeman? I don't remember him there. I still have a crack in my forehead where I was struck by an Alabama State Policeman. Does Freeman?

The Democrats have used and used and over used the race card to the point where it makes one sick to hear it. The great racists in America are those throwing the race card at anyone who disagrees with them. Frankly, that make them racist. Go back to sleep Morgan and stay out of politics. You've made a fool of yourself.

The Solyndra Scam

There are a number of elements to this miss. First, the CEO gave a very large donation to Obama's election campaign. This is after Solyndra's request for development money from the DOE was placed on hold (rejected?) by the Bush Administration. Not that there was any cronyism or such but six weeks after Obama took office he is fast-tracking the Solyndra request. Then tied this up in his "Stimulus Package" for a whopping %535,000,000.

That's bad enough, but at the same time, Obama and his little toady, Joe Biden, had already scheduled a photo op showing how his stimulus plan was creating "green jobs." The question here is: How many jobs were actually created? That is a question I can't seem to find an answer too. If I were to guess, I would say 3 to 500. Even at 500 jobs that works out to $1,070,000 tax payer dollars per job. Personally, I think I could have taken all those new hires aside, given them each, $100,000 and saved a hell of a lot of money.

The story really get's worse. The upper management of Solyndra could see this mess going down the tube, so what did they do? The got the investors to kick in $73,000 and subordinate the DOE loan to second position in violation of DOE Rules, as well as, statue. Two week later, as the CEO was handing out 1100 pink slips and shaking his head, claiming no one could see this failure coming. That is no one except the Board of Directors and the two top executives who orchestrated the $73,000 phoney loan at the last minute. By this time a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy has been filed in Federal Court. The assets will be liquidated and the cronies will be repaid their $73 K, but the tax payers are left holding the bag for half a billion dollars.

Next out of the mess boils LIGHTSQUARE. Oops. Who was in early investor in that company? Why Obama, of course. And who is the major backer? George Sores. How does he keep popping up in these fiascoes? The story of LightSquare is a little different. They aren't broke (yet) but their product endangers the security and defense of the United States. But that doesn't seem to be a problem with Obama and his friends. They even pressured a Major General to lie to Congress to push this mess through approval.

These are classic cases of Crony Capitalism. Obama and his friends have over and over fleeced the U.S. Tax payer out of billions of dollars. When will this stop?

Statehood for Palestinians a 'Key to an Empty Room'?

So Abbas heads to New York and openly insults the United States claiming the Palestinians "deserve" statehood. The problem is the Palestinians signed the "Camp David Peace Accord" during the Regan Administration. The Israelis offered the Palestinians everything including the kitchen sink. The Palestinians stubbornly stuck to their rant claiming Israel has no right to exist, finally walking away from the negotiating table.

Does that sound like a reasonable group who "deserve" statehood?

But we are missing the real question here: WHY NOW? The answer is easy. The Palestinians know Obama is a weakling. They know no matter what he will continue to send them $500,000,000 every year, And most importantly, they know Obama will throw Israel under the bus because Obama is a Muslim just like them.

Americans Freed From Iran Prison Begin Trek Home

So the story is, two INNOCENT guys went hiking in Iraq in the middle of a war because they had nothing else to do. Then, after climbing a 15 foot fence, evading a border patrol and suddenly finding themselves in IRAN. It's pretty amazing to me the crap that comes out of Washington.

Now that these to INNOCENT guys have been ransomed and are free, I can speak my mind. This is a short list of what I find WRONG with this story:

1. Two innocent guys go hiking in the middle of a war zone? Not likely. First getting visas to get into Iraq would have been difficult. The Military would have stopped them from wandering off into the country side. And no one in their right mind would have even wanted to do what they did.

2. Crossing from Iraq into Iran isn't like seeing a sign as you cross the 45th parallel on I-84. This is an international border with a serious fence and border patrols.

So why were they really there? My guess is they were working for the CIA doing a spy mission into Iran. The Iranians told the truth. The Obama White House and State Departments LIED (again).

NYT: Military retiree benefits vulnerable as Congress struggles to cut debt

First of all this headline is typically twisted by the New York Times. It's not CONGRESS that is having trouble cutting spending. It's OBAMA. But then, the NYT LOVES Obama and has to blame someone.

Frankly, in my opinion, it's a crime to cut anything from the Military with two wars in the middle east (I'm not going to argue the efficacy of either war). These men put their lives on the line and served America based on a long standing promise. Now in his usual mode Obama wants to disavow that promise.

It's interesting to note that Obama and none of the other White House seniors were even in the military and as such have no right to mess with those who have served. What are you going to do, Mr. President? Steal their pensions? What next? Steal their body armor? Place their ammunition on a ration system? You are killing the next generation who will take over running this country.

Don't expect to be re-elected. You are an idiot, Barry.
