Mr. Obama Goes to Washington Mr. Barack Obama he flew to Pakistan got himself a big black turban and he flew right back again to Washington, Washington Mrs. Michelle Obama, she came dressed in red said, "I'd like to sleep in that big White House bed In Washington, Washington Barry said to Michelle, "We'll get there if we can But we'll have to split the bed with Ayers, Wright and Farrakhan In Washington, Washington Then they held the rallies and the Truthers rushed to come and behind them came the Moonbats and CAIR on the run To Washington, Washington Yonder comes the Reverend Wright with a grin upon his face curse words on his lips and hate upon his brain To Washington, Washington Ayers comes behind him with his bombs and books in tow bringing that Annenberg money to fund Obama's show to Washington, Washington Right there behind him comes walking Louis Farrakhan But no Barry tells him, "You show up now you'll spoil my plan for Washington, Washington W...

While the US government is far from uncorrupted, the kind of massive uncontrolled theft usually seen in Arab and African countries or Putin's Russia, has been absent from the American experience. Until now. Obama has not yet taken power, but the Democrat led looting of America is well and truly underway. Obama has already brought in former Freddie Mac board member Rahm Emmanuel as his Chief of Staff and is now considering Jamie Gorelick, the former Vice Chairman of Fannie Mae as his Attorney General. What that means is that two key people in the entire mortgage disaster that trashed the American economy will hold two of the top positions in Obama's cabinet... and that is no coincidence at all. It's only the beginning. Already 2 Trillion Dollars (2,000,000,000,000) in emergency loans have been handed out without disclosure. To put that into context, the Democratic Congress has spent more money in a month on sweetheart loans for their business pals than the cost of the entire...

For everyone trying to find something positive in the Obama election by pointing to this as proof that we're a post racial society and we've conclusively proven that racism is a thing of the past by voting for a black man as President... consider this a reality check. The election may demonstrate that racism is no longer an issue for white Americans, but it will never prove it to the satisfaction of those who benefit from keeping racism an issue. Obama himself is the perfect demonstration of how useful racism is to such people. As a descendant of a white mother and a part African father who was never descended from slaves and had nothing to do with America's racial issues, he nevertheless successfully exploited American guilt over slavery and race, time and time again, defended by the cry that any criticism of him, including calling him a socialist, was racist. And when you have something as useful as that at your disposal, why give it up? Once occupying the White Hou...

In 2003 American troops invaded Iraq to liberate it by removing a Hussein from power only to return 5 years later to an America in which a Hussein is about to take power. What happened is not an uncommon fallacy of great nations that marshal their resources for wars abroad while ignoring the wars that must be fought at home. American military might crushed a Hussein abroad with superior force only to discover that another Hussein had attacked America's far more vulnerable political structure resulting in a hostile takeover. But the question must be asked why was our political structure so vulnerable to begin with? Democracy is only truly vulnerable when a sizable amount of its citizens have grown detached from its values. The Democratic party, like most left wing movements, has thrived on creating and perpetuating disenfranchisement particularly among minorities to supplement its base offering of class warfare. But more devastatingly it has worked to displace America's tr...

The first step toward understanding what went wrong in the 2008 election, beyond the voter fraud and the media's barrage of propaganda, is to address what the GOP should be and what it wasn't. The Democrats ran the 2008 election on personality and biography, which they could not have done if the Republican party could have credibly laid out an alternative vision for the future. Instead McCain played "Experience" against "Change" and while that might have squeaked him through in an honest election, it was a hopeless charge when confronting the kind of fraud and mass madness the Democrats had thrown into the pot. But the core failure lies with the unfortunate reality that the Bush era Republican party lacked substantive policy differences with the Democratic party. There are of course many ethical, moral and ideological differences, but when it comes to practical politics that isn't enough. The Republican party ran against big government and yet once...

We begin with a long look back, a few excerpts from a man who saw the crisis of his time as well as he saw the crisis of our own. A few excerpts will follow... This is no time for ceremony. The questing before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country , and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings. Mr. President , it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope . We are apt to s...

The Obama disaster is already off to a good start. Not only have stocks sharply fallen for another day as businesses continue to brace for lean times and heavy taxes under Obama's rule. Unemployment may have reached a high but it is only a marker of how high it will really go once Obama and his cronies begins destroying the American economy and pocketing the loot. As a sign of things to come, Obama has appointed a key figure in the Subprime mortgage mess, Rahm Emanuel , a former ethically challenged Clinton associate who sat on the board of Fannie Mac disregarding all calls for reform. Despite protests from many Democrats and Obama supporters, Emmanuel is now set to play the leading role in an Obama administration that promises to address the economic crisis, despite his own role in causing it. President-elect Barack Obama's newly appointed chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac at a time when scandal was ...

Thanks to systematized voter fraud covering everything from pre-marked ballots to forced voting for the disabled to homeless people who smilingly admitted on camera that they had voted multiple times, Barack Hussein Obama has been recognized as the official winner of the election. And what has Obama won? He's won a chance to be responsible for the economic mess that his own backers caused and that even the threat of his pro-tax policies is already prolonging. He has won the chance for sovereign rule with a Democratic congress whose ratings are already in the toilet and sole responsibility for the looting and corruption that will inevitably follow. Simply he has won the chance to go down and take his party down with him. And we can help. Dissent from day one is the motto here, but it actually begins long before day one. It begins now. Obama's best asset has been his lack of a record allowing him to promise something for everyone. Obama has worked so hard to avoid a record ...

Today I unpacked my winter clothes in preparation for a long winter, and a long winter is coming if not of the thermometer, then of the soul. A man that represents not simply an opposing view but the view of those who oppose America and all it stands for, will sit in the Oval Office. Worse still he did not get there through a democratic election but through fraud, voter intimidation and every dirty trick culminating in a campaign that had little in common with conventional American politics and a great deal in common with the cults of personality cultivated by totalitarian dictators. Our disappointment has come tonight. The disappointment of those Democratic party voters who are still of the party of Jefferson rather than the party of Ayers will come later and it will be far darker because we were innocent of it, while they will be complicit in all that he does. But we are not simply "Don't Blame Me" voters. We did our best to fight against this and while that may be sm...

For those of us in America an election is coming up today. For those of us in Israel, another election is coming up soon. These are both vital elections and it is urgent that everyone go out and vote and encourage, drive, pester and badger others into voting too. Democracy is still a functioning if damaged engine and we can try our best to steer it our way. But it is also important to remember that regardless of how these elections turn out, the future is still in our hands. If the worst case scenarios occur, it is a failure of government and while governments have great power, they derive that power from the people. And when governments go bad, it is up to the people to stand up for what is right. Government is a servant, not a master. When government ceases to serve the people and becomes a power base in and of itself, when elections are blatantly tampered with and the press becomes a propaganda machine serving that power base, it is time for the people to hold fast to their idea...

The stories here are true and based on the accounts of people I know, their names have been left out for reasons that should be apparent and some details have been changed to avoid identifying anyone involved. The Rabbi's McCain Sign Putting up a "McCain -Palin" sign in his front yard in Chicago might have been on the foolhardy side, but in that that part of Chicago it was particularly foolhardy. Nevertheless that was exactly what the Rabbi did. He planted the yard sign there below his living room window where the menorah stands during Chanukah time and went back inside. A few hours later the yard sign had been vandalized and the three black teenagers who had done it stood there defiantly glaring at him. What the Rabbi experienced was happening all across America, only the few cases when homeowners tried to fight back and resist the brownshirts did the situation make the news, usually followed by the arrests of the homeowners. The Rabbi did not fight back and he di...

There is one thing that the Jihad has reliably depended on in the late 20th century, it isn't a technological or a strategic factor, but us. Because the Jihad could not be what it is without the passive collaboration and active cooperation of the civilized world. When the West left the Middle East it left behind the tools of its own undoing, the oil industry that would funnel untold billions into the Jihadi war chest, the engineering and military training to wage war and the open borders that permit the terrorists easy access and even residency in our countries, but worst of all was what the West took along, guilt. When the Arab world got done rummaging through ash heaps of Nazism and Communism for ideologies their dictators could adapt to suit their needs, the old way of Mohammed was still waiting there ready to be embraced. And they embraced it with a vengeance even as the West had come down with a fever that was one part Rousseau, one part Marx and one part Gandhi, rolling t...
