It's Time to Rid the World of ISIS

Once again ISIS has proved their demonic barbarianism by burning alive a Jordanian Pilot. How much more will the civilized world  take? 

On January 9th, Lt Col Ralph Peters presented the only answer to the problem that is based in reality. He said: "in a war you fight to win, you don’t worry about political correctness. The jihadis will do anything to win, and we’re worried about our table manners.” Some points he made:

1. First, accept that you are in a war.

2. Name the enemy: Islamist Terrorists 

3. Get the lawyers and the policymakers off the battlefield 

4. You go where the terrorists are and you kill them.

5. You don't send American troops into a war you don't intend to win. 

6. Be as merciless as the enemy. If you're not willing to do that, he will win.

In 2012 President Obama said "the future must not belong to those who insult the prophet of Islam."  Like it or not, until something changes, he has the power to define that future.  As always, his priorities have more to do with the accommodation and appeasement of those who are causing the problem, and less to do with America's interests. Policy is being made by him, and by people who think like him. They want us to accept this kind of thinking. It explains, among other things, why we are leaving Afghanistan with no resolution, at the cost of 2,144 American lives, 73% of which occured since Obama took office.

The future has arrived, and the question is whether we will remain free men or whether we will be on our knees at the mercy of a global caliphate.  Apparently the latter is an acceptable choice to leftists, just so long as we are nice to each other.  People who think like this don't deserve to live in a free society. If we allow it to continue, none of us will.
The left has fallen prey to their own deception. Political Correctness is a weapon devised to silence opposition to their utopian ideas, but their cowardice in the face of Islamic terrorism has brought them to apply it to their own thinking.  It offers them a way to rationalize their willingness to get on their knees in the face of the very thing that will put an end to their right to have any ideas about anything, utopian or not, if it does not conform to the ideology of Islam.  The absurdity of this appears to be lost on the left, but it is not lost on the people who have declared war on us. "Peace at any cost" is a suicidal mirage.  In the face of an aggressive enemy, it guarantees an opposite reaction.

The left has learned nothing from history. The appeasement by Neville Chamberlain, and the complicity of Vichy France allowed the Nazis to expand into Western Europe. It took the Normandy invasion, led by the United States Military under General Eisenhower, with the full support of the American People to push them back into Germany. Islamist terrorism poses no less a threat to the Western world, but we find ourselves compromised by the leftists in America today.  

This Perfectly Illustrates Modern Liberalism

Democrats love taxes. They'll tax anything, anyway they can. Their mantra is Pay up, sucka!  And if you're unfortunate to be a resident of the state of New York....get ready Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer, the Dems have come up with a new way to bleed you.
But even by their standards, this latest Catch-22 is over the top.

As we all know, if you don't have health insurance, Obama will tax you.
But now, if you DO have health insurance,  Andrew Cuomo will tax you.

"Gov. Andrew Cuomo's new budget includes a nearly $69 million tax on health-insurance policies to pay for the administrative costs of continuing New York's ObamaCare health exchange, The Post has learned. 

The levy is intended to make up for federal funds no longer available to the states as of this year. Adding up to about $25 per person insured under the plan, the cost is almost certainly going to be passed on to consumers. 

The tax is being called a bait-and-switch by opponents of Cuomo's decision to start a state-run ObamaCare health exchange in New York. Had he not done so, they argue, there would have been no need for the tax. 

"There was no indication that there would be a new tax to pay for this. We had plenty of debate on ObamaCare. I never heard this mentioned," said Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin (R-Troy)." 

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Because Obamacare is so gosh-darned wonderful, right? A bargain at twice the price! Or something......

The Orwellian World of Barack Obama

by Gary Spina

When future historians write about the decline and fall of the United States of America, they will write of the Orwellian World of Barack Hussein Obama and the gullibility of the masses who suffered under his tyranny.

Wikipedia defines “Orwellian” as an adjective describing the situation, idea, or societal condition that George Orwell identified as being destructive to the welfare of a free and open society. It connotes an attitude and a brutal policy of draconian control by propaganda, surveillance, misinformation, denial of truth, and manipulation of the past…

Orwell observed that words and language can corrupt thought, and he wrote of the sinister power of “Doublespeak” and “doublethink.” Such is the currency of Barack Obama’s reign. Obama is “all sail, no rudder,” but his bluster is power. He couples grand, sweeping oratory with a bold resolve, brooking no opposing opinion – fond of such pronouncements as “Let me be clear…” or “the verdict is clear…,” or “this is not fiction, it is science…” and although his relentless barrage of lies, half-truths, and rhetoric is anything but clear, a significant part of the American populace seems to find comfort as they cling to his convoluted assurances. “…The reality of climate change is not in doubt.”

In his State of the Union address of January 2015, Obama said: “My only agenda for the next two years is the same as the one I’ve had since the day I swore an oath on the steps of this Capitol – to do what I believe is best for America.”

Various printed transcripts either include or omit the dash between the word “Capitol” and the word “to.” But to the ears of the television viewers and the radio listeners there was no dash. Millions of people heard what Obama wanted them to hear – that his sworn duty is to do what he believes is best for America. And so it follows that his heavy-handed usurpation of power, his disregard for the limits of the presidency, his mockery of our Constitution are all justified as he is upholding his oath of office.

The actual oath Obama swore at his inauguration on the steps of the Capitol was quite different, and is specifically spelled out in the Constitution:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

But Obama is a master manipulator and a master of the Big Lie. The Big Lie is a technique used by Adolf Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao and other tyrants. If you make the lie big and bold and outrageous, and if you repeat it loudly over and over and over again, the people will believe it, no matter how preposterous. That’s classically Orwellian.

Obama and Israel

"Has it struck you, as it has struck me, that with every other nation, including the most repressive and anti-American on earth, Mr. Obama is careful never to give offense, to always extend the olive branch, and to treat their leaders with unusual deference and respect? Except for the Jewish State of Israel. It always seems to be in the Obama crosshair.

 Because this attitude is so detached from objective circumstances and the actions of Israel and the actions of the adversaries of Israel, something else -- and something rather disquieting -- is going on here. Mr. Obama wouldn't be the first world leader to have an irrational animus against Israel. He's not even the first American president to have an irrational animus against Israel. (See: Jimmy Carter.) But it is fair to say, I think, that no American president has been this consistently hostile to Israel while in office or shown such palpable anger and scorn for it and for Israel's leader.

 "Perhaps given President Obama's history -- including his intimate, 20-year relationship with the anti-Semitic minister Jeremiah Wright -- his shouldn't come as a surprise. But that doesn't make it any less disturbing." — Peter Wehner, Ethics and Public Policy Center
