Do As We Say

Not as we do. That’s the message being sent by Congress after the House (led by Nancy Pelosi) approves a $200 million dollar purchase of three (count ‘em) THREE Gulfstream personal aircraft for the exclusive use of Congress (two of ‘em, anyway). This after giving auto CEOs hell for coming to Washington in their own private planes. They SAY their “excuse” was that is was “cost effective” to come in private planes, and it was. But Congress didn’t buy it. Now Congress says traveling around in THEIR private planes is “cost effective.” Which is it? Cost effective, or not? I guess it’s only “cost effective” when people in congress do it. They’re “American royalty,” you know. It would be “below their station” to fly on regular commercial airlines. (Roll Call)

Silencing Hondurans

The president of Honduras was constitutionally arrested and escorted out of the country after he announced changes that would have made him into a dictator and violated 17 "high crimes" laws. But Obama, wishing to become a dictator himself, saw this as a threat to himself, so he is taking the other side. "The U.S. revoked visas of four Honduran officials, claiming that a coup occurred there. But if they could travel, the Hondurans could educate Americans otherwise." So why are we trying to silence them? Nobody pushes "dialogue" or "citizen diplomacy" more than the U.S. Department of State. So how can it justify revoking the visas on these Hondurans in what a department spokesman confirmed Tuesday as "a turning of the screw." It can’t, but Obama doesn’t care. He just hopes the world will remember that he, in his wisdom, opposed the overthrow of this “wanna-be” dictator and stopped those who could have set the record straight from coming to the United states and talking. It would be an “object lesson” to anybody who would speak against him and his opinions. (IBD Editorials)

"Quit Making Things Up!"

That’s what Sarah Palin told the press in her speech as her last act as governor of Alaska. I’ve been watching as the press made up story after story about her in their desperate attempt to discredit her and derail a possible run for the presidency in 2012. Frankly, I think she should run for the Senate while letting her constituency know she will be going for the presidency. Of course, the press will “have a field day” lying about her even more than they have been. (Sarah Palin)

"Animal Farm"

George Orwell, in addition to his prophetic “1984,” wrote yet another prophetic novel, called “Animal Farm,: where the animals took over a farm and created their own government, which became a dictatorship after the pigs “took over” because the other animals didn’t resist. The “watchword” of this entire book was a simple statement written on the side of a barn. It started out, “All Animals Are Created Equal” and at the end of the book was added, “But some animals are more equal than others.” Are we on our own “Animal Farm?” Orwell was a socialist, but this novel is a savage criticism of socialism and the misuse of power.

Is Obama "Big Brother?"

In George Orwell’s prophetic book, “1884,’ the country was run by “Big Brother,” whose picture appeared everywhere and everybody loved him. If they didn’t, they were “re-educated.” The story’s “hero” worked for the “Ministry of Information” and his job was to change history to reflect the current thinking of “Big Brother" and the ever-changing alliances he espoused. Every television set contained a camera that spied on you. What happened in this book is eerily similar to what's happening in this country today. Is Obama becoming "Big Brother?" I notice his face appears everywhere. So much so I’m getting sick of it. The news media is “in the bag” for him, only printing (for the most part) what HE wants us to think, even if they know we know otherwise, using Hitler’s “big lie” technique of repeating the same lie over and over until it becomes truth and people will fight you if you try and tell them the real truth. This is the danger we’re in. We must fight it. (“1984”)
