   The resistance to the “remaking” of America is deeper than the Democratic apparatchiks realize. The commenter speaks the truth. And, the MSM’s complicity in all of this will prove to be their ruination.

   I, too, am in complete awe of the level of ineptitude and arrogance of the Zero administration.

   First Nero fiddled, now Zero.

   I was reading “The 5000 Year Leap” recommended by Glenn Beck. It quoted from the Federalist Papers, which warned against saddling future generations with debt. I was trying to find the quote when I stumbled on this link. Looks like a great resource. I just wish it was searchable.

   Most of us here expected things to worsen when President Obama and his gaggle of liberals took over. However, I never expected our executive and legislative branches to reach the level of a third grade playground at recess. Oops! I apologize to all third graders.

    Not only are B. Hussein Obama and the rest of the socialists, statists, collectivists, elitists, fascists, etc a national, and likely international, danger;
    if it is true that Obama gratuitously insulted the Brits (even though Brown is Labor (Oops!, sorry… Labour) – socialist – Obama and his gang are proving themselves to also be a national and international embarrassment.

    It would have been better to have said graciously “Thank you,” and given nothing in return for the moment.

    You can’t make that stuff up.

    BTW, I’m going to order the rest of the multivolume set of Gilbert’s biography of Churchill.

    Yeah, that must have been an awkward moment. PM Brown presented them with a pencil holder made from timbers from the HMS Gannet, which was deployed to fight the slave trade; and a framed original commissioning paper for the HMS Resolute.

    WHat did he get? DVDs of American movies. Classy.

    Obama Nation = T.E.A.
    Total Economic Abomination
    Total Economic Anihilation

    Obama sees both the U.S.A and the U.K. as “Empires“, and as the grandson of a Kenyan who was not treated very well by the British Empire, he is very happy to see both the British and American “Empires” brought to their knees.

    With Marxism-Leninism guiding our actions, the Communist Party strives to build the broadest unity against global capitalist imperialism now headed by U.S. imperialism

    But my journey is part of a larger journey – one shared by all who’ve ever sought to apply the values of their faith to our society. It’s a journey that takes us back to our nation’s founding, when none other than a UCC church inspired the Boston Tea Party and helped bring an Empire to its knees.

    - Barack Hussein Obama
    June 23, 2007

    “When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, in Honolulu, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan native, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.

    - Obama’s “Fight The Smears” entry about his birth
    Which, by the way, shows a forged CertificatION of Live Birth,
    not an authentic, original CertificatE of Live Birth.

    Obama’s own web site lied and called this forged CertificatION (which was neither released by, nor ever verified by, the State of Hawaii) Obama’s “Official Birth CertificatE“.

    Yes, that is truthful.

    Racism didn’t hurt Obama’s campaign. Quite to the contrary, using racism in his favor was a major part of his campaign.

    Most of his supporters cared more about the color of his skin than the content of his character. How many of his supporters truly support infanticide? Hopefully not many. But millions of people who do not support infanticide chose to support a candidate who does. Why? Because they cared more about the color of his skin than the content of his character.

    Almost a year ago (March 19, 2008) it was clear to me that Obama was using racism in order to form a more Socialist union…
