An Interpretation of the Obama-Medvedev Gaffe


Obama and Russian (Puppet) President Medvedev spoke without realizing that there was live mike right in front of them.  This reminds me of the Bush years.  Read below what they said and see the video above for an explanation of what it means for us.

President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space.

President Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you…

President Obama: This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.

President Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.

Abhorrent Social Issue Oriented Amendments Kill Defense Bill

Amnesty (DREAM Act), Abortions (in Military Hospitals), and Advancing Homosexuality in the Military (‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ Repeal)


Here is an amalgamation of information I received via email from various sources including the Eagle Forum and Grassfire Nation,after the successful blockage of the terrible amendments to the Defense Authorization bill voted on at around mid-afternoon today in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Thankfully, enough Senators opposed cloture on the Defense Authorization bill. Cloture failed 56-43. However, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, voted against cloture so that it can be brought up again in the Lame Duck session of Congress after the November election.

In violation of Senate protocol, Senator Reid added three non-germane amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2011. His action underscores the plausibility that these three amendments would have

· forced taxpayers to pay for abortions on military bases

· provided amnesty to millions of illegal aliens (the Dream Act)

· undermined military readiness by repealing Congress’ 1993 law concerning homosexuals (Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell),

was a political ploy meant to motivate the Democratic base.


Here is more information on what these terrible three amendments would have done or could still do if they are brought up again by hopefully a very Lame Duck session of Congress in November and December …

1. Repeal of the 1993 law prohibiting homosexuals from serving in the military, often referred to as“don’t ask, don’t tell.” Even moderate Senators oppose making this policy change before seeing the results of a pending survey indicating how this change will affect the military.

2. Overturning the prohibition on performing abortions on all U.S. military bases. The Defense bill contains an amendment offered by Senator Roland Burris (D-IL) to strike Section 1093(b) of Title 10 of the U.S. Code and will permit the performance of abortions in both domestic and overseas military facilities. Current law prohibits the performance of abortion by Department of Defense medical personnel or in Department of Defense medical facilities except when the life of the mother is at risk or when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest.

3. Amnesty for illegal aliens in the form of the so-called “DREAM Act." This act will:

* Offer legal status and a "path to citizenship" to all illegal aliens living in theU.S. who entered the U.S. before they were 16 years of age, and who have earned a high school diploma or a General Educational Development certificate (GED). The act also repeals the federal prohibition on states offering reduced in-state tuition at state-supported colleges and universities to illegal aliens.

* Overturn the prohibition on illegal aliens receiving federal student loans and participating in work-study programs.

* Allow amnestied aliens to apply for citizenship and petition to bring their extended relatives, including their parents who brought them here illegally, to the U.S. after six years.


Here is the content of a fax I sent late this morning to my Senators:

I am writing to express my opposition to the inclusion of the DREAM Act as well as the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy for our military as amendments to the Defense Appropriations bill.

In regard to the DREAM Act, he Federation for American Immigration Reform calls the DREAM Act "a broad amnesty measure disguised as an educational initiative that would allow millions of illegal aliens who meet a very loose definition of student to qualify for green cards." In addition, the DREAM Act would funnel taxpayer dollars away from legal residents and into the pockets of illegal aliens.

Repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT)," will have serious negative impact on the Military. During a time of war, why subvert the military in this way?

This is precisely why Americans are ready to go to the polls and bring sweeping political change to Congress! I urge you to vote NO on the DREAM Act and the repeal of the DADT amendments.

Adding unrelated and controversial amendments to the bill that funds our military is cynical, deceptive and cowardly. The debate over funding our military should not be compromised by pet programs that advance the liberal agenda.

I oppose amnesty and I am outraged that this Congress continues its deceptive pattern of back-room deals and legislative trickery. Vote NO on any pro-amnesty amendments to the Defense funding bill-- such as the DREAM Act -- or if the final bill includes either DREAM act or DADT repeal, (as well as expanding abortion services on our military bases) ...

Cheney’s Popularity Increases



“A new CNN poll shows that Dick Cheney’s popularity is actually on the rise.

“Yeah, . . . people do tend to look favorably on those who actually want to protect them from getting blow up by terrorists.”

- - NewsBusted, Episode 6/5/09


COMMENT
.
Dick Cheney was far from perfect. But compared to the alleged President Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Obama or VP Joe Biden, he is light years ahead of the new administration in terms of national security and national defense. The Soetoro-Biden team is weak, foolish and naively seek to appease intransigent, intolerant, unflinching and evil enemies. The pair will say and do whatever advances themselves and their political agenda, even above the security or best interest of this nation.

Government and Health Insurance

The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch runs a regular feature in its newspaper identifying an important issue to the local community and asking the vote of the readers on that issue along with comments. Occasionally I will respond and comment on the issue raised, as I did to yesterday’s topic.

The Hot Issue: Should the government make sure everyone has health insurance?

My Response: Absolutely not.

Health insurance is not an area that government should be involved. They are already too heavily involved with the Medicare and Medicaid system.

The primary responsibility of federal government is national defense and safeguarding the freedoms of its citizens. Included in this responsibility is securing our national borders. The government is not doing what it should be in this area, let alone what it should not be doing!

It has been and should be the primary responsibility of individuals, families, churches and other not-for-profit charities to provide for the needs of those unable to obtain their own health insurance.

Taking care of the elderly, severely disabled, orphans etc. should also be the primary responsibility of individuals, families, churches and other not-for-profit organizations.

Almost anyone other than the government can do a better job than a bureaucratic government agency. Just look how inefficiently and ineffectively the government handles the postal service or now the automobile industry. They have the reverse-Midas touch. Everything it touches it messes up, it ruins, it tarnishes.

The Military IS a worthwhile 'investment'

T.D. sends us a fabulous photo of a potent sign taken in Annapolis last Wednesday, April 15, 2009, the day of the massive TEA Party Protests/Rallies around the nation. The sign speaks for itself. And the alleged President Barry Soetoro (a/k/a Barack Obama) wants to reduce the military budget by 10+% and give billions away on political payoffs and other wasteful, frivolous, and senseless government spending. Does that make any sense?

What is a veteran?

"A veteran is someone, who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'"

9/11: It's regrettable that it's forgettable

FORGETTING 9/11/01

President stoops and steps in it


Has the alleged President Barry Soetoro (a/k/a Barack Obama) forgotten? Last week he ignominiously bowed before Saudi King Abdullah, whose nation produced most of the 9/11 terrorists. The same people who flew those two airplanes into the New York Trade Center. That in itself should have caused the president to pause before taking such action as bowing to such a Christian-persecuting, probable terrorist supporting and financing, ruthless leader? What possessed the president to do that? Was it his ignorance and inexperienced? Or is he sympathetic to the ideology of the Saudi King? My assessment is that the new president is (1) a radical socialist with an agenda that transcends what is in the best interests of all Americans or the vast number of Americans, (2) he is an appeaser of Islamists, including terrorists, (3) he is grossly naive in his thinking, and (4) he has surrounded himself with incompetent people.

REMEMBERING 9/11/01

T.D. sends us this news about on of the newest ships in the U.S. Navy. As you scroll down this post, notice the two twin towers on top.

"Here SHE is, the USS New York, made from the World Trade Center! It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center. It is the fifth in a new class of warship – designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft."
.

"Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, La to cast the ship's bow section. When it was poured into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, 'those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence,' recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there. 'It was a spiritual moment for everybody there.' Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that when the trade center steel first arrived, he touched it with his hand and the 'hair on my neck stood up.' 'It had a big meaning to it for all of us,' he said. 'They knocked us down. They can't keep us down. We're going to be back.'"

What is the ship's motto?

'Never Forget'

This may not be your president’s Air Force

T.D. sends us the following recorded conversation between a terrorist Iranian air defense radar station and a U.S. aircraft. Our apparent terrorist appeasing ‘commander-in chief,’ I suspect, would be reticent to say, “And I approve this message.” After all, he does plan to cut the defense budget significantly, while spending wastefully on a sundry of socialistic programs.
.


This conversation was recorded on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz, while flying from Europe to Dubai

Iranian Air Defense Radar: 'Unknown aircraft at (location unknown), you are in Iranian airspace. Identify yourself.'

Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft.. I am not in Iranian airspace, I am in Iraqi airspace..'

Iranian Air Defense Radar: 'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'

Aircraft:
'This is a United States Marine Corps FA-18 fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'

Iranian Air Defense Radar: (no response ... total silence)

One Head Strong American


God Bless Our Veterans!


God Bless America!

Happy Veterans' Day!


Today we honor those men and women who have served our nation in the armed forces. Without them we would not have the God-given freedom and rights that we enjoy today.
