Moveon.org Wants Nelson to Support Public Option

In our 'we get mail' section, we just got an e-mail asking us to contact Senator Nelson in support of the public option plan in the Nelson/Reid/Obama Senate Health Care Plan.

Here is part of what they asked us to do:

"Dear MoveOn member,

Your senator, Ben Nelson, hasn't committed to giving health care reform with a strong public option a fair, up-or-down vote.

He might be the one to stop reform in its tracks, even though it would help lower out-of-control health care costs and expand coverage to millions. As the Senate begins to debate, Sen. Nelson needs to hear that standing with Big Insurance by dooming reform is just plain unacceptable.

Can you stop by Sen. Nelson's office in Omaha to deliver a flyer telling him that he has to give the green light to an up-or-down vote on reform?"

We have a better idea, contact Ben and tell him that a vote for cloture will seal his fate as a former U.S. Senator come November 2012........

A Plan That Assures Failure

Earlier today we opined (see: Obama's Unrealistic Game Plan) on our reservations about Prince of Peace Nobel Laureate Commissar Barack Hussein Obama's speech last night on sending troops to Afghanistan. We came across a great column in the New York Post that probably does a much better job of pointing out the problem with the Comrade's plan. It's by Ralph Peter's, 'Setting up our Military to Fail' and you can find it at: http:/www.nypost.com/f/print/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/setting_up_our_military_to_fail_lBlTIHm69SM02Lly5JbNaO Suggest you check it out.

Why Not Listen to the Citizens?

Today, Rasmussen Reports tells us that 57% of those polled believe that tort reform should be passed. Where is this as part of the health care bills passed by Queen Nancy and comrades or in the Ben Nelson/Dirty Harry/Obama Bill currently being debated in the Senate? It's not in either and yet this is one simple solution that could and should be passed that wouldn't require 2070 pages to do so. Let's just recycle that load of papers and pass measures like tort reform one item at a time.

Obama's Unrealistic Game Plan

Prince of Peace Nobel Laureate Commissar and Commander-in-chief Barack Hussein Obama made his big speech to West Point cadets and the American Public last night and he was once again more than eloquent in his pretty boy delivery.

Sadly, he doesn't get it. He's going to 'rush' 30,000 troops to Afghanistan in the next six months after playing his fiddle in the White House over the last three months as American soldiers died and were wounded. And 12 months after this troop surge is rushed in its entirety to the country he is going to start withdrawing troop numbers. This in spite of the assessment that it would take nearly 500,000 Afghan soldiers/policemen to fully overcome the Taliban and Al Qaeda. This when foreign troops of about 100,000 currently outnumber Afghan soldiers and police.

There is no way necessary training and increased numbers of Afghan soldiers and police can be put in place by July of 2011.

Once again the Prince of Peace Nobel Laureate Commissar Commander-in-Chief Barack Hussein Obama is either lying or simply deceiving himself. His exit strategy won't work. If he follows it he will be no better than those past presidents who have used Americans as pawns on a chess board. If he doesn't he will have created even more problems for himself by deceiving the American public, not unreminiscent of Lyndon Baines Johnson.

While some in the media will extol his great speech and his definitive policy we continue to assert that this 'Afghan war' will be the albatross around his neck in 2012 and, frankly, he will have hung it there by his unrealistic deception of self and the American public.

Obama and His Afghanistan Albatross

We seem to be reiterating our stands on issues and apologizing for missing certain points today (see last two blog entries), so here we are looking at what we still believe will be the albatross around the neck of Prince of Peace Nobel Laureate Commissar Barack Hussein Obama. We won't back down from that and we believe our Comrade-In-Chief's address on Afghanistan tonight will only ultimately prove our point.

In a world devoid of American exceptionalism, in a country ruled by Neville Chamberlains in both the White House and the Congress the Commissar will tell us today that he will send 30,000 plus additional troops to Afghanistan after deliberating over the recommendation for three months while Americans needlessly died and the conditions there deteriorated.

Worse yet, he will put a timetable on our ultimate withdrawal of something like three years. Let's see, that would be the next presidential election year, right?

What this president doesn't seem to understand is that this is not a battle that can be won in three years, although it can be lost along with perhaps its nuclear neighbor, Pakistan. Sometimes international decisions aren't easy and when our president decides that the United States is an equal among all other nations it may make it easy for him to mete out the ultimate blame for international failures, but it won't avoid the dire consequences to our country and the rest of the world.

Putting a time frame on our involvement in Afghanistan will perhaps assuage the liberal pacifist leftists of his party but in the end it will do nothing to promote stability of the region and it will result in much greater consequences to our nation. That will be the albatross around this president's neck.

We Were Wrong on Minarets

Yesterday in our entry, Switzerland and The Islamic Backlash , we opined that the Swiss banning of construction of new minarets was a good thing given Europe's failure to stem the immigrant invasion of Muslims and the consequences that has caused. We also opined that one can expect some major terrorist response to that vote.

But, frankly, yesterday we were wrong, at least from the standpoint that the action does nothing to stem the flow of Islamic immigration and the fear created by those immigrants who for the most part would rather kill the infidels in the invaded countries rather than assimilate the values of their new chosen homelands.

We were brought to the above conclusion after reading a Wall Street Journal editorial, 'Switzerland and the Minaret' which you can find and we'd suggest you read at: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703939404574565674154159110.html

The Global Warming Hoax

It will come as no surprise to our regular readers what are feelings are about Al Gore's Church of Global Warming, but in case you are new to us let us clarify that we believe that man's contribution to global warming is at best minimal and that we believe that if every nation in the world got on board with what the nuts from Kyoto to Copenhagen want, reductions in green house gases and global warming would be somewhere in the low single digits.

Somehow, folks have to understand that the earth's climate is affected by much more than man as it has been since the big bang or whatever created it in the first place. Some who live in Nebraska might be well to note that it was part of an inland sea thousands of years ago, that it was covered by ice 10,000 years ago. None of these were the result of mankind and anyone that believes these same cooling/warming trends aren't the major causes of our weather today is simply some liberal leftist without a brain who listens to so-called scientists who have made global warming a cottage industry for liberal college researchers who regard the rest of us doubters as rubes.

Over the last couple of weeks there has been a lot said and written about the revelation of the e-mails and data from the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in Britain. Those revelations only support our belief that Al Gore's Church of Global Warming is only that cottage industry for academic elitists and those who see a chance to make a buck by scaring folks. Al Gore left the Vice Presidency worth less than a million dollars and it is now estimated that he is worth over $100 million, even though he lives in a palace that consumes more energy than any six normal homes while he jets across the country on a private aircraft.

Okay, with that said, you might want to check out a Wall Street Journal editorial yesterday by Bordon Crovitz, 'The Web Discloses Inconvenient Climate Truths,' at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703499404574564291187747578.html
