Another Day in the Bush...I mean...Obama Administration

President signs deficit-exploding big government pork-barrel legislation, written in secret , rammed through Congress in just hours with no public review after excluding all minority input, laden with massive payoffs to pet special interest constituencies.

President Escalates ('Surges') U.S. Military Forces in the Middle East (Afghanistan) by 17000 Marines and Soldiers, With No End in Sight.

Oh yeah. The 'change' is overwhelming me.

Funny.

Voting for Mccain was voting for Bush.

Now, voting for Obama was also voting for Bush.

WTF What's da difference.

Obama's foreign policy is run by the Pentagon and the shadow goverment. Zbig Brezenski armed the Taliban (under Carter) to fight the Russians. Then AlCIAeda became the boogeyman but now the droids have put the TalibanAlciaeda together as another bogeyman. The US foreign policy continues to be run by the same liars, and deceivers as ran the Bush regime.

Bin Laden is dead! The man has to have kidney dialysis (which he why he was in ToraBora) and escaped. Any fool to believes this guy is hiding in freakin cave that is electrified with hospital eqipment 7 years later..is a buffoon.

The left is not happy with Obamas foreign policy either. He told us "diplomacy" was the answer. I think the neo cons (dems/repukes) terrified him into believing the "terrorists are living in the caves", however one of the top cabinet level people in Obamas administration stated "the real terrorist are on wall street".

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba
