Just when we thought this president couldn’t top any of the odd or irrational decisions we have witnessed in his first term, i.e., scolding Supreme Court Justices during a state of the union address.
Obama's inaugural committee confirmed last week that he will take his second oath-of-office in a private ceremony on Jan. 20—a – Sunday—with—with the parade, balls, and other public events to take place the next day.
This is unconscionable.

In 2008, candidate Barrack Obama had this to say about a “civilian security force” in America:
“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Obama Campaign adviser Robert Gibbs a top adviser to President Obama on Sunday defended the administration for saying in the aftermath of a deadly assault on a U.S. diplomatic post that it was not a pre-planned terrorist attack.

As recent terrorist attacks in North Africa and the middle East have demonstrated, despite well over a trillion dollars spent, countless man-years wasted waiting in airport security lines and endless efforts to ensure that no offense is given to seemingly permanently "aggrieved" Muslim terrorists, the United States is no closer to victory in the so-called “war on terror” than we were on September 11, 2001.
Welcome to The Muslim Brotherhood in America: The Enemy Within, a 10-part, web-based video briefing that is designed to explain why and how this is happening.
It addresses a threat most Americans are unaware even exists within our country, let alone the degree of danger it represents.
The threat is the totalitarian, supremacist Islamic doctrine its adherents call "shariah" and the organized, disciplined and increasingly successful efforts by such adherents-- most especially the Muslim Brotherhood-- to bring it here. are making this course available in the hope of encouraging, informing and broadening support for national efforts to defeat the insinuation into this country of shariah's anti-constitutional and seditious program.

There have been many times during Obama’s first term that, as a freedom-loving, red, white and blue-blooded American Conservative, I could not understand what motivated Barrack Obama. The 2012 campaign has exposed more about Obama than the 2008 race. Like former Governor Romney we don’t believe there is much that can be done to sway Obama supporters from the “dark side” (Star Wars reference). Here is an opinion piece from the New York Yimes' Stanley Fish thathelps put Obama's motives into greater focus.
Obama, D’Souza and Anti-Colonialism
By STANLEY FISH, New York Times Opinion Pages
I’ve never before had the experience of seeing a movie based on the ideas of a friend who is also the film’s producer, writer, co-director and on-camera star. The friend is Dinesh D’Souza and the movie is “2016: Obama’s America.” It’s a bit less than 90 minutes long and for the most part it follows the path of D’Souza’s 2010 book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage.”
That path is at once psychological and historical. D’Souza tells us that he wants to understand Obama’s actions, which do not, he contends, follow either from the American dream of the founding fathers or from the civil rights story of Selma, Birmingham, Brown v. Board of Education and Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech. Instead, according to D’Souza, the dream Obama is intent on realizing is the dream of his anti-colonialist father, Barack Obama Sr., whose influence on his son’s life is, perhaps paradoxically, all the greater because he was absent; the two met only once, when the future president was 10 years old.
Anti-colonialism, as D’Souza defines it, is underwritten by a conviction that “colonialism is a system of piracy in which the wealth of the colonized countries is systematically stolen by the colonizers” and that at the present time the United States, originally a colony itself, is the chief neo-colonial power, continuing its flawed history of subjugating native Americans, Mexicans, Hawaii and the Philippines into the 21st century. “My argument,” says D’Souza in “The Roots of Obama’s Rage,” “is that it is the anti-colonial ideology of his African father that Barack Obama took to heart.” Once we understand that ideology — once we really know Obama — we will understand a set of policies that, under any other explanatory model, seem contradictory and disunified. >>Continued

On Saturday, August 25, more than 2.25 million viewers watched Fox News’ one-hour special on a soon to be released documentary entitled “The Hope and The Change” on “Hannity,” making the program the most-watched cable news show of the evening. Here is the trailer for this movie which was produced by Citizens United.
After watching this I've come to the conclusion that the Bush Administration along with Congress' unchecked spending, including the funding of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan created the perfect storm for an Obama Victory in 2008.

For those readers too young to remember the so-called cold war between the Soviet Union and the United States of America or the Cuban Missile Crisis in October, 1962, you may be wondering, using the vernacular of VP Biden, “what’s the big F-ing deal with a Russian submarine entering the Gulf of Mexico?”
The Washington Free Beacon reported on August 14 that a Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks.
Now who do you suppose might have invited our Russian friends to play with their nuclear-powered attack submarines in the United States’ backyard?
But first, let's recap a couple a few of the facts:
A Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine armed with long-range cruise missiles operated undetected in the Gulf of Mexico for several weeks and its travel in U.S. strategic waters was only confirmed after it left the region. Where was the U.S. Coast Guard? That's a pretty big fish to go undeteced for weeks.
What about the Department of Homeland Security? Where was Janet Napolitano at some frat house party?
Below is A file photo taken in Brest harbor, western France, on September 21, 2004, showing the Vepr Russian nuclear submarine of the Project 971 Shchuka-B type, or Akula-class (Shark) by NATO classification, the same type as the Nerpa Russian nuclear submarine.
For all of you cynics out there, I am—of course—aware that Obama has "reset" U.S. relations with this one-time enemy. And I am keenly aware that Obama has discussed campaign strategy with Russia’s former President Dmitry Medvedev several months ago, right before Medvedev left office.
The risk of another war with Georgia, a former Soviet Union satellite is certainly not “bloody likely.”
Then again, it isn’t as though Russia, under its current president, Vladimir Putin is yuckin’ it up with many sworn enemies of the United States and our closest ally in the Middle East.
