CBS News Is Reporting That Barack Obama Has Made The Decision To Send 40,000 More Troops To Afghanistan

2009-11-10T19:04:00.000-08:00

The world severely criticized George W. Bush for his wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but now that Barack Obama is escalating the war in Afghanistan the vast majority of those same critics are strangely quiet. CBS News is reporting that Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama has made the decision to send nearly 40,000 more U.S. soldiers to Afghanistan over the course of 2010. The report CBS filed about this decision put it this way.....

"Informed sources tell CBS news he intends to give General McCrystal most, if not all, the additional troops he is asking for."

So will anti-war liberals stand up and get a backbone, or will they stand down just because their hero Barack Obama is in office?

Of course for the vast majority of them it will be the latter.

This just shows the massive hypocrisy of politics in America these days.

Very few people stand up for what they believe in anymore.

Very few people truly care about political issues.

Instead, most Americans follow their favorite political celebrities with cult-like devotion.

A CBS video report about Obama's decision is posted below.....

The One Cartoon That All Americans Need To Watch

Before Americans agree to sign on to the socialist agenda that Barack Obama and the Democrats are trying to push down our throats, there is one cartoon that they should all watch. Please send the video below out to everyone that you know. It is about 50 years old, but it is extremely pertinent to the political issues of today.....

Joe Biden Admits That The United States Is In A Depression

2009-10-20T15:27:00.000-07:00

Joe Biden has gone "off script" again. Now Joe Biden has publicly admitted that the United States is in a Depression. Of course this is true, but surely nobody in the Obama administration ever wanted Joe Biden to publicly state this fact. Just check out this stunning video of Biden's recent comments.....

Shocking Film Of Young School Children Being Forced To Sing A Song Of Praise About Barack Obama

2009-09-24T16:28:00.000-07:00

What you will see in the video below should disturb you very much. It is being called an "indoctrination video" in which school children are forced to compose and sing a song that praises Barack Obama.

The song contains this very chilling line: "Red, Yellow, Black or White -
All are equal in his sight"

This video was reportedly filmed on or around June 19th, 2009 at the B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, New Jersey.

Would you send your kids to school if you knew this is what was going on?.....

The lyrics of this song are posted below.....

A YouTube Video That Shows The Foolishness Of Obamacare In A Very Humorous Manner

2009-09-08T17:50:00.000-07:00

You know, sometimes it takes a really simple explanation for us to get something. That is what is so beautiful about the video below. It is a very simple, yet extremely entertaining comparison between the health care systems of Georgia and Massachusetts.

You see, Massachusetts has already implemented many of the measures contained in Obamacare. Georgia has not.

So how does health care in those two states compare? Well, just watch the short video below and see for yourself. The video is worth watching for entertainment value alone.....

Solid Proof That Barack Obama Was A Member Of The Hyper-Socialist New Party

2009-09-01T12:47:00.000-07:00

Posted below is solid proof that Barack Obama was a member of the hyper-socialist New Party. The picture is of a New Party newspaper from 1996 that mentions that Barack Obama is a member of their party on the front page.

If you can't see the writing clearly, just click on the picture below to get a larger version.

This wouldn't be such a big deal if people were not insisting that he never was a member of that socialist political party. The truth is that Barack Obama was a member of a socialist political party in 1996 and he is still a socialist today.

Congress Is In Complete Disarray!

2009-08-30T14:33:00.000-07:00

The following video is another example that shows how the United States Congress is in complete and total disarray.

The truth is that the corruption and lying has gotten to such an extreme level that even something as simple as a procedural vote turns into a total mess.

If you do not know how much of a complete and total mess that Congress has become, then you need to watch this video.....

Barack Obama: I Don't Want The Folks Who Created The Mess To Do A Lot Of Talking

2009-08-09T07:35:00.000-07:00

Barack Obama seems determined to push Obamacare through no matter what anyone else may think of it.

In response to the increasingly frustrated crowds that Obamacare advocates have been encountering around the nation, Obama basically told them to shut up in the video below.

That's right, instead of reaching out and saying that he is listening to the concerns that have been brought forward, he actually said this in the video below:

"I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking."

That's quite democratic, isn't it?

In fact, Obama is actually asking supporters to inform him of anything they see or hear that is "fishy" - even if it is in casual conversation with their own family and friends, and some of his supporters are already doing that:

http://thefinalhour.blogspot.com/2009/08/democrat-activists-are-already.html

What is happening to this nation?

Watch the video below and then post a comment and tell us what your response is to this outrageous comment by Obama.....

Representative Joseph Pitts Denounces Surpeme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Abortion Comment On The House Floor

2009-07-18T20:51:00.000-07:00

In an absolutely shocking interview with the New York Times, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg alluded to the fact that abortion is about getting rid of certain types of people that the elite do not want to have around:

"Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of."

In response, Representative Joseph Pitts, a Republican from Pennsylvania, gave a stirring speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives denouncing Ginsburg’s comment. If you have not seen this very short speech, then you definitely should watch this video:

Sarah Palin Resigns As Alaska Governor - Is She Giving Up Or Getting Ready For 2012?

2009-07-05T12:44:00.001-07:00

In an absolutely shocking announcement, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin announced on Friday that she is resigning effective at the end of this month. Does this mean that she is giving up and trying to get out of the public limelight, or does this mean that she is completely devoting herself to a run for the presidency in 2012?

The truth?

Nobody knows.

In a cryptic statement released by her office, Palin said the following about her resignation:

"Once I decided not to run for re-election, I also felt that to embrace the conventional Lame Duck status in this particular climate would just be another dose of politics as usual, something I campaigned against and will always oppose."

So is this the last that we will see of Sarah Palin?

Has the horrific treatment that she has received from the national media scared her away from politics forever?

Or is she gearing up for the fight of her life?

Is she getting ready to put absolutely everything into trying to defeat Barack Obama in 2012 and to become the first female president of the United States?

Perhaps a message that she posted on Twitter following her resignation gives us a clue:

"We'll soon attach info on decision to not seek re-election ... this is in Alaska's best interest, my family's happy ... it is good. Stay tuned"

Super Obama - He's Come To Save The Day

2009-06-21T08:09:00.001-07:00

The folks over at JibJab sure know how to make us laugh. This short YouTube video about Barack Obama and current political issues definitely made us chuckle.

But does turning such monumental issues into a joke take away from the seriousness of them?

After all, the United States of America is in a state of national crisis, but it seems that all most people want to do is to make jokes and to mock each other and to get all excited over side issues.

In any event, this is still really, really funny.....

Glenn Beck: Betrayer Of The Patriot Movement

2009-06-11T15:57:00.000-07:00

Glenn Beck has shown his true colors. On yesterday's show, Beck actually linked Holocaust Museum shooter James von Brunn, white supremacists and al-Qaeda with 9/11 truthers and those Americans who want to abolish the Federal Reserve.

Beck did this without citing a single source or presenting a shred of evidence. Instead he just recklessly slandered a whole class of people in front of millions of viewers.

The video below is beyond shocking. It is blatant propaganda at its finest.....

Do you see what Beck is doing?

It seems that whenever the establishment wishes to demonize a particular group, they link them with some nutjob gunman or they start claiming that they are "working with al-Qaeda".

But this is coming from Glenn Beck who many in the "Patriot movement" had been supporting enthusiastically.

After all, Beck has often spoken of a coming "one world government" and "one world currency" on his program, and he had even spoken of the importance of resisting the New World Order.

But Beck has also spoken of the need to crack down on militias and that many Ron Paul supporters should be put in camps.

For example, on a recent show, Glenn Beck, who is supposed to be an "arch-conservative", publicly sold out gun owners, militia members and other members of the far right on the air.

In the video below, Beck and a guest are discussing a video by a supposed al-Qaeda leader who claims that he wants to smuggle Anthrax into the U.S. and attack the government. In the video, the al-Qaeda leader also states that al-Qaeda might want to team up with "members of native U.S. white supremacist militias who hate the federal government."

First of all, such a notion is completely and utterly ridiculous. The idea of white supremacists teaming up with al-Qaeda is so bizarre and so unlikely that anyone with half a brain knows that such a thing would never happen.

But in the video below notice how Beck jumps on the idea.

Notice how he points out how he has been warning of just such a thing for a long time.

Also notice how he subtly links white supremacists with "militia groups" and those who are anti-government.....

Do you see what is going on here?

Beck is purposely demonizing the growing Patriot movement in the United States.

Millions of Americans are waking up to the fact that both political parties are owned by the bankers, that our rights are being stripped from us at blinding speed, and that most of our politicians and leaders don't even give lip service to the Constitution anymore.

In fact, these days if you talk about the Constitution too much you are likely to be labeled by authorities as someone who is likely to work with al-Qaeda.

The truth is that many civil libertarians and freedom activists are becoming increasingly alarmed by the trend towards massive political repression in the United States. Political candidates and organizations that are out of favor with the establishment are now actually being labeled as "dangerous" and as "potential terrorists" in official government reports.

For example, on February 20, 2009, the State of Missouri issued a stunning report entitled: "MIAC Strategic Report: The Modern Militia Movement."

That law enforcement report labeled individuals who supported presidential candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin as "dangerous" and inferred that those individuals are potential terrorists.

In addition, people of various other ideologies were singled out as being potentially dangerous in the report.

The MIAC report instructed police and other government officials that the following political views are "dangerous" and could signal that someone is a potential terrorist:

*Anyone opposing abortion

*Anyone opposing illegal immigration

*Anyone who believes that the New World Order is a threat

*Anyone who is against the North American Union

*Anyone who is against the income tax

*Anyone who has a negative view of the U.N.

It is interesting to note that no left-leaning political ideologies or organizations were identified in the report. Neither were Islamic extremists mentioned in the report. Apparently only those who support candidates like Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin are considered to be dangerous.

These are exactly the type of tactics that were used in Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia to demonize and crush political opposition. When official government reports start labeling supporters of certain political candidates as "potential terrorists" all Americans should start getting alarmed.

It doesn't matter how you feel about those candidates. For instance, you may hate what Ron Paul stands for. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that when official government reports openly attack certain political groups, we are all being attacked.

Another example of this disturbing trend towards political repression is the recent Department of Homeland Security report on "right wing extremism" that created a firestorm of controversy across America.

Why was there such an incredible uproar over that report?

Because it labeled tens of millions of Americans as "potential domestic terrorists".

Below is a list of 14 characteristics of a "domestic terrorist" that were pulled right out of this report.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, you might be a domestic terrorist if.....

*you are a U.S. military veteran returning from duty in Iraq or Afghanistan

*you believe in "end times" prophecies

*you believe in state's rights

*you are against abortion

*you are against illegal immigration

*you believe in the 2nd Amendment

*you criticize any of the free trade agreements the U.S. has made

*you are against same-sex marriage

*you believe that an economic collapse is happening

*you think that the U.S. may declare martial law someday

*you believe that the U.S. is creating detention camps

*you stockpile food, ammunition or weapons

*you believe that illegal immigrants are taking away American jobs

*you believe "New World Order" conspiracy theories

Quite a few of those apply to me, so it looks like I have made the list.

Have you made the list?

Has your own government just labeled you a potential domestic terrorist?

The truth is that when even "arch-conservatives" like Glenn Beck start warning that people who don't agree with the government might be "working with al-Qaeda", we should all get really, really nervous.

And after this latest episode, there should be NO DOUBT about who Glenn Beck really works for. Glenn Beck works for the establishment, and while he is counting his millions I hope that he thinks about the millions of patriotic Americans that he has just sold down the river.

"Prolonged Detention": Barack Obama Favors Indefinite Detention Of Terror Suspects Without A Trial?

2009-05-25T08:19:00.000-07:00

Barack Obama has proposed something that not even George W. Bush tried to do.

It is called "prolonged detention".

Obama is actually proposing "indefinite detention" for terror suspects without a trial.

The ironic thing is that he actually promoted this tactic during a speech during in which he criticized the Bush administration's policies on terror suspects.

At least some in the mainstream media are calling Obama on this.....

Barack Obama: Rush Limbaugh Does Not Qualify As A Troubled Asset

2009-05-11T06:05:00.001-07:00

Is It Appropriate To Turn Political Issues Like 9-11 Into A Children's Coloring Book?

2009-05-03T17:23:00.000-07:00

Is it appropriate to put difficult political issues into a children's coloring book?

More specifically, are graphic depictions of 9-11 appropriate for children of such a young age?

The photo below is one page from a recent children's coloring book.

Is The Swine Flu Becoming Just Another Political Issue?

2009-04-30T17:54:00.001-07:00

Is the swine flu becoming another political issue?

I am sure most of you saw the news how the government has decided not to call it the "swine flu" any longer.

Why are they doing that?

Because the pig farmers didn't like that name.

They thought it would hurt their business.

Then there was the whole episode today where Joe Biden said that he would discourage family members from flying or from even taking the subway.

It was an instance where old Joe was honest and got "off message" a bit.

Well, the travel industry didn't like that one bit, and the administration quickly corrected him.

Now they are claiming that Biden didn't mean any of that after all.

The reality is that we are facing a potentially dangerous pandemic, and people are playing politics.

Ridiculous.

A Congressman Who Voted For TARP Is Booed Mercilessly At A TEA Party

2009-04-21T06:19:00.000-07:00

The message from the people at the TEA party in Greenville to Congressman Gresham Barrett was very clear: They aren't going to put up with Republicans who voted for these massive government bailouts.

It is good to see a member of Congress who voted for TARP mercilessly booed.....

Gay Marriage And The Republican Party

2009-04-20T10:08:00.000-07:00

Is the Republican party establishment becoming gay friendly? Meghan McCain (the daughter of John McCain) and the man who managed McCain's presidential campaign spoke in support of gay marriage at the latest Log Cabin Republican convention.

While many considered John McCain to be a presidential candidate that was not open to gay issues, the reality is quite different. In particular, his daughter, Meghan McCain, has become something of an icon for Log Cabin Republicans.

Megan McCain has very passionately endorsed gay marriage, and she is using the visibility that she achieved during the campaign to continue to press this issue with Republican leaders.

Many are also surprised to hear that the man who managed McCain's presidential campaign, Steve Schmidt, is also openly endorsing gay marriage.

"For the party to be seen as anti-gay, that is injurious to its candidates in places like California and Washington," Schmidt said at the Log Cabin event.

Even California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who many considered to be very "conservative", is backing efforts to overturn Proposition 8. Proposition 8 banned gay marriage in California, but now many Republicans leaders such as Schwarzenegger are leading the effort to defeat it.

So is the Republican party going to embrace gay marriage any time soon?

Let's hope not, but things are certainly trending in that direction.

The Anderson Cooper Tea Bagging Comment

2009-04-16T10:00:00.000-07:00

In one of the most shocking comments uttered by a network anchor in recent history, Anderson Cooper referred to the recent tax protests by conservatives as "tea bagging". In fact, he used the term more than once, and the fact that his guests laughed at the term means that they understood exactly what Anderson Cooper was trying to say.

For those of you who don't know what "tea bagging" is, it involves oral stimulation of the male reproductive organs.

You can't make this stuff up.

The video of the Anderson Cooper tea bagging comment is at the end of this article.

This all happened when Cooper had David Gergen and Ali Velshi on his show to discuss the events of the day. Gergen was responding to a question by Cooper about the Republicans when Cooper blurted out, "Tea-bagging. They’ve got tea-bagging."

Gergen apparently got the joke and then continued by saying this:

Well, they’ve got the tea-bagging. But there was an interesting Politico survey -- it was out today that said that, you know, the president -- the trust level in the president on economic issues is extremely high, and, you know, and everybody else in the administration is well below him. But the Republicans are a little below that. So, Republicans have got a way -- they still haven’t found their voice, Anderson. They’re still -- this happens to a minority party after it’s lost a couple of bad elections, but they’re searching for their voice.

At least Gergen was trying to get the conversation back on track.

But in response to Gergen, Cooper made this offensive remark: "It’s hard to talk when you’re tea-bagging."

Why would it be hard to talk? You see, Cooper knew EXACTLY what the smear meant.

THIS is what we are to expect from our network news anchors now?

The video of this stunning exchange below.....

This is the kind of thing that conservatives can not let go by. The Anderson Cooper tea bagging comment must become a huge issue. Conservatives must demand an apology from Anderson Cooper. If this kind of smear becomes commonplace, then what is next after that?
