Simple Man Politics

Oh my God what else are they going to do to weaken our nation and its security? These idiots that were so blindly voted into office under the cover of change, nominated to positions of power under the banner of change, and appointed to positions of power under the mantle of change all have one thing in common they don’t know how to defend a nation let alone run one.

All they seem to want to do is to weaken our nation even further making us an easier target for attack sooner rather than never. The inside attacks against us run the gamut from the oval office and congress to the justice department and homeland security.

I can see our enemies readying themselves at our borders to attack and salivating at the possibility of sinking their teeth into the great bastion of democracy known as the United States and killing it. The thing that amazes me is that they have as allies our own government who are doing all that they can to assist them.

Obama is looking at ways to cut defense spending in order to pay for nationalized healthcare, education, and other social programs he supports. He just won an important battle in that arena by stopping the F-22 program, which would definitely make is the ultimate power in air superiority as well as employ 90,000 + people, now the project and the jobs are gone.

Eric Holder the US Attorney General is now investigating the possibility of prosecuting AG lawyers and those who had knowledge of enhanced interrogation techniques during the Bush administration. Obama had promised no prosecutions of these people would be pursued, which was of course a lie.

This is happening again all thanks to our President who released memos stating that these attorneys found the use of these techniques legal. This does not count the damage done from releasing these memos, which now gives our enemies a look at our game plan for extracting important information from uncooperative terrorists.

Obama is also going to close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility and attempt to bring these enemy combatants and terrorists to the continental United States. Further more he is going to have them tried in the US Federal Criminal Court System instead of by military tribunal.

All of this is dangerous to our citizenry because not only will they be within or national borders, but they will have Habeas Corpus rights and Geneva Convention protection when they are not even eligible for that protection because they are not members of a nationally recognized uniformed military.

Then there is of course our very own inept Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano. She has absolutely no idea how to even defend our borders or where exactly the dangers on our borders really are.

She is so stupid that she actually compared the US/Canadian border with the US/Mexican border stating that we needed to defend our northern border even more aggressively because that is where the 9/11 highjacker’s came into the US. That has been proven to be false by the way and it was established that the 9/11 terrorists all entered the US directly from over seas.

Further more she stated that our multi billion dollar southern border barrier that stretches from California to Texas could halt the cross border drugs and violence that is spilling over into our country from Mexico. What damn border barrier is she talking about, because we haven’t even built one quarter of it yet?

At this point I am trying to decide whether or not to brush up on my Spanish, or learn Farsi, or perhaps just do both. One thing appears almost certain to me if we manage to survive four years of an Obama administration and Democrat control of both houses of congress.

Once there is a conservative majority back in control of both of those branches of government it will take at least a generation of our citizens to recover from the damage that will be inflicted upon us. However I hope that the mid term elections partially rectify some of this problem including the deposing of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reed, Barney Frank, and Chris Dodd.

That is all I have to rant about for today my friends, but I will be back again tomorrow, have an awesome day and CIAO4NOW!!!!!

I’m here to tell ya Thank God its Friday. I am going to take the weekend off from politics and just kick it on the home front. I am so tired of having nothing better to do than disproving the far lefts continual lying on every subject they open their hate filled ignorant mouths about.

I’m just going to run down a short list of some of these lies and deceits that they are becoming famous for, and politicians aren’t the only ones I’m going to mention here today the liberal drive by media gets a spot in this blog today too.

Obama is first on the list, but there are so many things he has lied about that I don’t know where to begin. I know a lie he just retold after the theory was thoroughly debunked and that is the lie that most weapons being used in the drug war in Mexico are from the US. The ATF just proved that to be wrong and Obama goes down to Mexico and tells it again.

I hate this one to it says that the EPA is going to take steps to regulate climate change. Climate change and Global Warming is the greatest lie of the 20th and 21st centuries. The climate is changing all the time, whether it is warming or cooling. These things always come in cycles it has been proven so what are you going to do regulate Mother Nature.

Here is one of my favorite targets the great liar Janet Napolitano who is the former Governor of the state of Arizona and now heads up the HDS. She had the unmitigated gall to actually release an “Intelligence Assessment” that says our returning veterans are potential terrorists ripe for recruitment by radical right wing extremists groups. Activists on the left are far more violent and terrorist like than those who just took part in the Tax Day Tea Parties.

Eric Holder the new AG of the US went to West Point Military Academy and promptly attacked former President George W, Bush in a speech. The problem was that the speech was filled with lies that had already been disproven and not only by those on the right, but those on the left as well.

I hate the liberal left media and their bias towards the conservative movement. The Tax Day Tea Parties were a success, there was no violence and only one arrest and that was not related to these protests. Yet media outlets like CNN, MSNBC, NBC and so on attempted to portray those attending the parties as nothing more than radical activists who cling to their god and their guns and would you believe even their constitutional rights, but that is true.

Former NYPD Chief Bernard Keric actually was surprised that this was the first protest that he had ever seen where people brought their families. He and many others who have experience in dealing with protests that these Tea Parties were the perfect example of what peaceful protests should look like.

The last person I am going to take a shot at today is our very own Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. This is the woman who travels the world denouncing our nation as at fault for everything bad that has ever happened. She along with Obama actually is encouraged by the overtures they have received from other socialist and communist nations. The Obama administration actually feels that our citizens are more of a danger to the country than dictators like Castro, Ahmadinejad, and Kim Jong Il. They have apparently forgotten the histories of these despots.

I hope you all have a great Friday and an awesome weekend CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Hey ya’ll I’m back from my personal effort to bail out one of the Big three automakers and I have to tell you I was successful in my efforts to do my part. However now it is time to get down to what this blog is all about and that is political news reporting, and do I have a story for you today.

The current administration had reported that over 90% of all guns confiscated in the war between Mexico and the cartels originated in the US. However, it has since been discovered that this figure is not accurate according to ATF (Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms) and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) sources.

The actual truth of the matter is that the percentage of weapons traced to the US that are recovered in Mexico is only 17% of the total number of guns that reach Mexico. This is evidenced by the fact that a large number of weapons down there do not get sent to the US for tracing by the Mexican government because they are obviously not American weapons. It is true though that 90% of the traced weapons sent to the US for tracing are US weapons.

American weapons have serial numbers and manufacturer names that enable these weapons to be traced and those are the ones returned to the US for tracing. Weapons that do not have serial numbers or manufacturer names are not sent here to the US because those are not US weapons and may come from the black market or other nations in Central and South America.

The reason that this false information is so important at this time is because of its intent. The Obama administration had Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well as US Attorney General Eric Holder present this information publicly in Mexico and here in the United States in an effort to set the stage for possible tighter gun control legislation.

This would be accomplished by convincing legislators and the general public that we are responsible for the violence in Mexico because we cannot control the flow of weapons between the US and Mexico. It seems however that this is also not the case has been supported by some sources in the Mexican government as well.

Although I agree that we are somewhat responsible for some of the trouble south of the border I also know that we are not responsible for all of it. I also know that this is just another lame attempt by our democratically controlled government to strip away our 2nd amendment rights.

That I all I have for today my friends. I hope you all have a great day and I will be back again tomorrow for the T.G.I.F. post, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Well here it is midway through the week and it has been a week filled with a lot of activity in the political arena. Unfortunately I believe most of it is not going to be good for our country. Although the democrats would like all of us to believe otherwise I just can’t help but feel like we are on a roller coaster ride with no brakes and a steep fall into oblivion at the end. I know, I know I sound like the doom and gloom guy Instead of Obama this time, but everything seems to be pointing me in that direction.

On Monday we had Eric Holder down at Guantanamo taking a look at the detention facility there. After his tour and meetings with the chain of command for both the detention facility and the base he said in an interview with the press that the facility was run very professionally and is doing a great job. However he also said that even though they are doing a great job hew would close the Gitmo detention facility any way, which means those wonderful terrorists could be coming soon to a prison on US soil near you. These are just the people we need right here in our homeland.

National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair also told the House Intelligence Committee that Guantanamo Naval Base should be closed just because we are not popular the world over, and those countries won’t deal with us. What I want to know is when did we forego our nation’s security just for the sake of international popularity. I guess we really don’t need our first line of defense and the warning system it is responsible for.

Of course there is also Barack Obama’s great speech before both houses of congress last night where he pled with the nation to support him and his massive spending porkulus bill. He tried to tell everyone that without going into debt to the Chinese even more and without spending billions on products not scheduled to begin before 2010 that we could not stimulate the economy now. I am trying to figure out how that is supposed to work still.

As if the first 800+ Billion Dollars wasn’t enough the lower house of congress approves another 410 Billion Dollars today for domestic programs increasing entitlements and the entitlement mentality. That’s right instead of the American people doing what they have always done, which is pick themselves back up, brush themselves off, and get back down to business the Democrats are going to save them all by doing it for them.

On a lighter note though our vaunted and fearless VP Joe Biden pulled off yet another gaffe in an interview CBS’ “Early Show”. This gaffe was in the techie field of the internet. While discussing the stimulus bill he told viewers to check out a government run website tracking stimulus spending. He did admit that he was embarrassed that he didn’t know the sites number and asked an aide if they had the number. Hmmmm I didn’t know websites had numbers. As most web savvy people are aware websites are identified by their URLs or addresses even thought hey do use a number system and are identified by their numeric IP address. I just found it funny that the most web savvy administration would have an official who thought the web worked like a telephone.

That is all for now and I hope you enjoy the Biden gaffe video. See you all later, CIAO4NOW!!!!!

Well it seems that President elect Barack Obama is in a hurry to get his cabinet members selected, appointed, and confirmed. Hillary is apparently his first cabinet pick and his choice for Secretary of State. I don’t really think he will have a problem getting Mrs. Clinton confirmed, but it might be a different story for some of his other picks.

Three of these people stand out as possible problems with regard to the confirmation process, Governor Bill Richardson, Governor Janet Napolitano, and Eric Holder. All three of these individuals are familiar players on the national political stage. They will also come to the confirmation process with their own baggage, as each has made some politically disastrous decisions.

Bill Richardson has been a very good Governor for the state of New Mexico; however he has two potential problems that may plague him. One of these problems is his involvement in the Monica Lewinsky scandal. It seems that he had offered Miss Lewinsky a position at the UN in an effort to guarantee her silence for then President Bill Clinton.

The other problem he may have is for failing to safeguard nuclear secrets after departing the UN to become Energy Secretary. Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia declared he would never again receive Senate support for any office he sought. This would appear to be very problematic since Senate confirmation would be required for him to become Commerce Secretary.

The apparent appointee for Director of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano is another appointee who may have trouble with the Senate confirmation process. In addition to being a lousy Governor for the state I live in, which is Arizona. She was also directly involved in the Anita Hill sexual harassment case against then US Supreme Court Justice nominee Clarence Thomas. Her part in that failed attempt to smear the reputation of an honorable man was as part of the legal team representing Anita Hill when she was a private attorney. It was said that she may have coached a witness for Hill into changing testimony.

The only real obstacle that Attorney General Appointee Eric Holder will have to confront was his choice to pardon Marc Rich when he was Deputy Attorney General under the Clinton administration. Marc Rich was the billionaire on the run who was given a pardon by Bill Clinton on his last day in office. He may have received his pardon because of his estranged wife’s activities as a high paying Clinton donor.

I don’t really believe that if Barack Obama appoints these people to his cabinet that they would fail to get through the confirmation hearings, but I do think that they might get held up there. However Obama’s two picks for Secretary of the Treasury in Timothy Geithner and National Economic Council Director in Lawrence Summers appear on the surface to be strong picks, but I guess time will tell.

Have a terrific Tuesday my friends CIAO4NOW!!!!!
