Obama Doesn't Want Us to Get Any Big Ideas!

Obama has come out in support of ousted left-wing Honduran President Zelaya. He said that he won't recognize Zelaya's eviction from the country by the military and won't recognize the man the Honduran Congress voted in as the replacement, Roberto Micheletti.

On the surface that seems like a pretty American thing to do, even for Obama. But upon closer examination, clearly spelled out in this article in the WSJ, it seems that the ousted president was trying to act more like his Venezula buddy, Hugo Chavez. Seems Zelaya wanted to go against the Honduran constitution and force a referrendum upon the country to vote for a change to the constitution to allow him to stay in office for a second term. Something the Honduran constitution doesn't allow.

So when you really look at the facts, something Obama and the MSM conveniently ignore, it seems that it wasn't a coup by the Honduran military at all. The military was just following the orders of the Honduran Supreme Court and Congress. Zelaya was not following the constitution, was trying to do things not allowed by the law and the Supreme Court and Congress did the only thing they could and that was to force him out of the country. He was breaking the law!

Obviously, with the direction Obama is taking America, with unprecedented, some would say illegal, takeovers of businesses and industries, he certainly doesn't want to be seen supporting legitimate action taken by the other two pillars of a government to oust a left-wing, socialist dictator. Maybe that's why Obama is joined in his protest with Castro and Chevez! Two other left-wing dictators that don't follow the law. Hmmm?

Obama can't support or allow a government to follow it's constitution and kick out a left-wing despot. Might give people in America some ideas about what they may have to do to get rid of him as he keeps abusing and ignoring the checks and balances set up in our Constitution.

But with a complicit Democratic Congress abdicating their duty to check excesses in the Executive wing and with Obama now able to staff the Supreme Court with sympathetic judges, we may never have the opportunity to do what the Honduran government did.

You Cannot Legislate the Poor into Prosperity...

" by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

Adrian Rogers, 1931-2005

Don't forget about Iran and the Protesters

Amid all of the media hoopla surrounding the death of Micheal Jackson, the story of the Iranian protestors is being swept off of the few papers and screen that were covering it.

Dispite this, the protests continue, even amid more brutal and systematic crackdown by the corrupt Iran government.





Yet this tragic story is lightened somewhat by a couple of amazing photos of two brave souls standing up to the bloody regime.

Can you imagine the bravery of this young lady to give the one-finger salute to this despot? I have no word as to what happened afterwards. I hope she's ok and didn't become another victim.

Finally... the President spoke out about the Iranian Elections

Here's what the President had to say

- “These elections are dreadful news,”

- the Iranian people “deserve something else.”

- called the situation a “tragedy”, but said that it was not “negative to have a real opinion movement that tries to break its chains.”

- described the situation in Iran as "extremely alarming" and denounced as 'totally disproportionate" the crackdown on demonstrators, which has left eight people dead

It's about time the President grew some cojones and spoke out about the fraud election in Iran.

The only problem is the President I'm talking about is France's President Sarkozy, not our weak, appeasing President Obama.

Who'd have ever thought the day would come when France would be a bigger defender and more outspoken sponsor of freedom and democracy than America?

Now They Want to Ban Pocket Knives

In another great example of the Nanny State that the liberals think we need, the Homeland Security folks are trying to quietly ban just about ALL Pocket Knives!

This absurdity is coming about by the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), a part of the Homeland Security Department, deciding that pocket knives with assisted opening mechanisms should be considered a Switchblade!

While the ruling is ostensibly for imports only, the reality is that most Federal, State and Local jurisdictions use the CBP guidelines for their local law interpretation and enforcement. So if the CBP rules that simple, everyday pocket knives with thumb studs for single hand opening, like I have and use about everyday, are to be considered switchblades, then basically the whole country will use the same guidelines and all the regular knives will become illegal overnight!

Another sneaky, backhanded way to control the populace!

Here's a great site for more information and suggestions on how to contact the CBP and your representatives for protesting this craziness!

NBC uses it's Clout to Silence Critics of it and Obama

Here's an interesting story of how Immelt and Zucker, so outraged at a story by The Hollywood Reporter about the "drama" at the recent GE stockholder's meeting and attempts by stockholders to determine if Immelt had ordered NBC and it's affiliates to be less critical of Obama and his policies, that Immelt demanded that GE and all of it's affiliates stop doing business and talking with The Hollywood Reporter

Just another reason to not trust NBC, MSNBC, GE etc. They're in the tank for Obama, not necessarily for political reasons, more for business reasons. But they are definitely in the tank!
