Entitlement my @ss , I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed the money , doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout !! Congressional benefits , aka. free healthcare , outrageous retirement packages , 67 paid holidays , three weeks paid vacation , unlimited paid sick days , now that's welfare , and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements !!!!!!
What the in the world's wrong???
WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!
Tuesday's Daily Bulletin paper, ran two articles on the front page side by side :
1- Calif 's 20 Billion Dollar Budget Deficit
2- The Calif Supreme Court ruling that ILLEGALS can attend college and get benefits.
Why don't they just deport them when they arrive to register?
3- Last year they ran an article on the yearly costs to Calif Taxpayers from Illegals using Hospital Emergency Rooms for their general health care -
At just one hospital the cost to tax payers totaled over 25 million a year
Someone please tell me what the heck's wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!
We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,???????????
In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , and Turkey . And now Pakistan .....home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!
Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!
They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when its time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?
We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc,etc.
YET.....................
They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.
Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.
Sad isn't it?
99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.
I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did

So What Do You Think
Shocking facts.....not surprising however.
June 19, 2011
The Muslim Brotherhood and Weiner By Eileen F. Toplansky
Far more disturbing than the salacious details of Weiner's dalliances is the fact that apparently his mother-in-law is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Furthermore, Huma Abedin's brother, Hassan, "is listed as a fellow and partner with a number of Muslim Brotherhood members." Hassan works at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) at Oxford University. The Egyptian Al-Azhar University, well-known for a curriculum that encourages extremism and terrorism, is active in establishing links with OCIS.
How is it that the Western media, with its hourly analyses of Weiner, missed this salient point, yet Arab news sources revealed this connection? Walid Shoebat, formerly with the PLO, explains that Saleha Mahmoud Abedin, a professor in Saudi Arabia "belongs to the Sunni movement's women's division known as the Muslim Sisterhood." During the recent uprising in Egypt, which resulted in Mubarak's removal, "a special women's unit within the Muslim Brotherhood served as 'mules' to deliver messages and acted as messengers for the terrorist group."
The Muslim Sisterhood is also known as the International Women's Organization (IWO) and members are located "across 16 different countries." Its goal is to "work at all levels in accordance with the message of the Brotherhood." The Muslim Brotherhood's goal is Islamic world domination and "[i]t is now public knowledge that nearly every major Muslim organization in the United States is actually controlled by the [Muslim Brotherhood] or a derivative organization. Consequently, most of the Muslim-American groups of any prominence in America are now known to be, as a matter of fact, hostile to the United States and its Constitution."
This chart on page four of the Domestic Intelligence Briefing by Mark Hass shows the FBI - Identified Terror Networks connected to the Muslim Brotherhood in North America.
Which should now raise even greater concerns since Huma Abedin-Weiner is the deputy chief of staff to Hillary Clinton, the United States Secretary of State. Did any vetting occur by Clinton's people concerning Huma Abedin, her brother Hassan, or her mother Saleha Mahmoud Abedin, and any connections with known Islamists, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood?
But then again, would it have troubled Mrs. Clinton? After all, during her husband's time as President, she warmly embraced Suha Arafat the wife of Yasser Arafat, arch-terrorist, right after a speech during which Suha Arafat falsely accused Israel of poisoning the Palestinian water supply.
Huma's brother has "worked with Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal on a program of "spreading Islam to the west." More intriguing is the fact that the Abedin family left Michigan for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, around 1977, which is the same year that the Muslim Sisterhood was formed.
Couple this with the Clinton family playing a key role in promoting Fethullah Gulen who has worked assiduously to overthrow Turkey's secular government. Gulen, who currently resides in Pennsylvania, has told his followers that in order for "worldwide Islamic domination to succeed, every method and path is acceptable, including lying to people."
In March of this year, the FBI was investigating the more than 120 charter schools in the United States that are linked to Gulen's movement. These schools, funded with millions of taxpayer dollars, promote Gulen's worldview that is both anti-Israel and anti-America. In fact, in 2010 it was reported that Bill Gates had given almost 11 million dollars to the Cosmos Foundation, which is a Gulen enterprise.
Moreover, one needs to question why Huma Abedin, a member of a family of devout Muslims, would ever marry a Jewish Congressman -- in a ceremony officiated by Bill Clinton. Sharia law clearly forbids Muslims from marrying non-believers, so what does this portend? (this is what I said from the beginning!)
Furthermore, when Huma Abedin accompanied Hillary Clinton to the Dar El-Hekma women's college in Saudi Arabia, where Huma's mother is co-founder and vice dean, it was reported that "Hillary explained that Huma holds an important and sensitive position in her office." Where was the scrutiny?
Why are so many at the highest levels of American government ignoring the methodology of Islamists like Gulen, who has declared that the best way to seize power is to lie in wait "with the patience of a spider" in order to "wait for people to get caught in the web"? Is Clinton so naïve?
Thus, Huma Abedin's position with Clinton in the State Department, as well as her marriage to Representative Weiner, has given her enormous exposure "to state secrets and access to the inner workings of Congress."
This would be unsettling enough if it were not also for Obama's latest appointee. The 44th president has just appointed Azizah al-Hibri to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom. Al-Hibri believes that sharia law is superior to American law. Yet, al-Hibri is only one of the pro-sharia adherents that Obama has placed in influential positions since he became president. Dalia Mogahed was one of the earliest appointees and as Nonie Darwish has written, "[t]he empowerment of Radical Islam under the Obama administration" is extremely disturbing.
Last year, Obama appointed two devout Muslims to Homeland Security. Obama's record concerning Islamic terror was alarming from the beginning of his term and it has only become more entrenched. Congressman Keith Ellison aka Keith Hakim, who converted to Islam, is already in place in Congress. His connections to CAIR are troubling.
Is the Weiner scandal really covering up a far more disturbing scenario whereby jihadists continue to infiltrate and influence American universities, military installations, homeland security, even local police forces, all while the press ignores the steady encroachment of these radicals who seek to overturn and destroy America?
The disgraceful indifference by the general press to Weiner's in-laws and their connections to the Muslim Brotherhood keeps eroding America's ability to rout those who wish to see her destroyed.
Fethullah Gulen has exhorted his followers to "move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing [their] existence until [they] reach all the power centers...until the conditions are ripe..." Can America continue to close its eyes to this deliberate hibernation strategy of our enemies?

This Will Give You Cold Chills!
Geert Wilders is a Member of the Dutch Parliament.
In a generation or two, the US will ask
itself: "Who lost Europe ?" Here is the
speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party
for Freedom the Netherlands , at the Four
Seasons in New York , introducing an
Alliance of Patriots and announcing the
Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem ..
Dear friends,
Thank you very much for inviting me.
I come to America with a mission. All is
not well in the old world. There is a
tremendous danger looming, and it is very
difficult to be optimistic. We might be
in the final stages of the Islamization of
Europe. This not only is a clear and
present danger to the future of Europe
itself, it is a threat to America and the
sheer survival of the West. The United
States as the last bastion of Western
civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.
First, I will describe the situation on
the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a
few things about Islam. To close I will
tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .
The Europe you know is changing.
You have probably seen the landmarks.
But in all of these cities, sometimes a few
blocks away from your tourist destination,
there is another world. It is the world
of the parallel society created by Muslim
mass-migration.
All throughout Europe a new reality is
rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where
very few indigenous people reside or are
even seen. And if they are, they might
regret it. This goes for the police as
well. It's the world of head scarves,
where women walk around in figureless
tents, with baby strollers and a group of
children. Their husbands, or slaveholders
if you prefer, walk three steps ahead.
With mosques on many street corners. The
shops have signs you and I cannot read.
You will be hard-pressed to find any
economic activity. These are Muslim
ghettos controlled by religious fanatics.
These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they
are mushrooming in every city across
Europe . These are the building-blocks for
territorial control of increasingly larger
portions of Europe , street by street,
neighborhood by neighborhood, city by
city.
There are now thousands of mosques
throughout Europe . With larger
congregations than there are in churches.
And in every European city there are plans
to build super-mosques that will dwarf
every church in the region. Clearly, the
signal is: we rule.
Many European cities are already
one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam ,
Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many
cities the majority of the under-18
population is Muslim. Paris is now
surrounded by a ring of Muslim
neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most
popular name among boys in many cities.
In some elementary schools in Amsterdam
the farm can no longer be mentioned,
because that would also mean mentioning
the pig, and that would be an insult to
Muslims.
Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark
only serve halal food to all pupils. In
once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up
almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim
women routinely hear 'whore, whore'.
Satellite dishes are not pointed to local
TV stations, but to stations in the
country of origin.
In France school teachers are advised to
avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims,
including Voltaire and Diderot; the same
is increasingly true of Darwin . The
history of the Holocaust can no longer be
taught because of Muslim sensitivity.
In England sharia courts are now
officially part of the British legal
system. Many neighborhoods in France are
no-go areas for women without head
scarves. Last week a man almost died
after being beaten up by Muslims in
Brussels , because he was drinking during
the Ramadan.
Jews are fleeing France in record numbers,
on the run for the worst wave of
anti-Semitism since World War II. French
is now commonly spoken on the streets of
Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel . I could
go on forever with stories like this.
Stories about Islamization.
A total of fifty-four million Muslims now
live. San Diego University recently
calculated that a staggering 25 percent of
the population in Europe will be Muslim
just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis
has predicted a Muslim majority by the end
of this century.
Now these are just numbers. And the
numbers would not be threatening if the
Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to
assimilate. But there are few signs of
that. The Pew Research Center reported
that half of French Muslims see their
loyalty to Islam as greater than their
loyalty to France . One-third of French
Muslims do not object to suicide attacks.
The British Centre for Social Cohesion
reported that one-third of British Muslim
students are in favor of a worldwide
caliphate. Muslims demand what they call
'respect'. And this is how we give them
respect. We have Muslim official state
holidays.
The Christian-Democratic attorney general
is willing to accept sharia in the
Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority.
We have cabinet members with passports
from Morocco and Turkey .
Muslim demands are supported by unlawful
behavior, ranging from petty crimes and
random violence, for example against
ambulance workers and bus drivers, to
small-scale riots. Paris has seen its
uprising in the low-income suburbs, the
banlieus. I call the perpetrators
'settlers'. Because that is what they
are. They do not come to integrate into
our societies; they come to integrate our
society into their Dar-al-Islam.
Therefore, they are settlers.
Much of this street violence I mentioned
is directed exclusively against
non-Muslims, forcing many native people to
leave their neighborhoods, their cities,
their countries. Moreover, Muslims are
now a swing vote not to be ignored.
The second thing you need to know is the
importance of Mohammed the prophet. His
behavior is an example to all Muslims and
cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed
had been a man of peace, let us say like
Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one,
there would be no problem. But Mohammed
was a warlord, a mass murderer, a
pedophile, and had several marriages - at
the same time. Islamic tradition tells us
how he fought in battles, how he had his
enemies murdered and even had prisoners of
war executed. Mohammed himself
slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu
Qurayza If it is good for Islam, it is
good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.
Let no one fool you about Islam being a
religion. Sure, it has a god, and a
here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its
essence Islam is a political ideology. It
is a system that lays down detailed rules
for society and the life of every person.
Islam wants to dictate every aspect of
life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is
not compatible with freedom and democracy,
because what it strives for is sharia. If
you want to compare Islam to anything,
compare it to communism or
national-socialism, these are all
totalitarian ideologies.
Now you know why Winston Churchill called
Islam 'the most retrograde force in the
world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to
the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly
accepted the Palestinian narrative, and
sees Israel as the aggressor. I have
lived in this country and visited it
dozens of times. I support Israel .
First, because it is the Jewish homeland
after two thousand years of exile up to
and including Auschwitz; second because it
is a democracy, and third because Israel
is our first line of defense.
This tiny country is situated on the fault
line of jihad, frustrating Islam's
territorial advance. Israel is facing
the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir,
Kosovo, the Philippines , Southern
Thailand, Darfur in Sudan , Lebanon , and
Aceh in Indonesia . Israel is simply in
the way. The same way West-Berlin was
during the Cold War.
The war against Israel is not a war
against Israel . It is a war against the
West. It is jihad. Israel is simply
receiving the blows that are meant for all
of us. If there would have been no Israel
, Islamic imperialism would have found
other venues to release its energy and its
desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli
parents who send their children to the
army and lay awake at night, parents in
Europe and America can sleep well and
dream, unaware of the dangers looming.
Many in Europe argue in favor of
abandoning Israel in order to address the
grievances of our Muslim minorities. But
if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it
would not bring any solace to the West It
would not mean our Muslim minorities would
all of a sudden change their behavior, and
accept our values. On the contrary, the
end of Israel would give enormous
encouragement to the forces of Islam.
They would, and rightly so, see the demise
of Israel as proof that the West is weak,
and doomed. The end of Israel would not
mean the end of our problems with Islam,
but only the beginning. It would mean the
start of the final battle for world
domination. If they can get Israel , they
can get everything. So-called journalists
volunteer to label any and all critics of
Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists'
or 'racists'. In my country, the
Netherlands , 60 percent of the population
now sees the mass immigration of Muslims
as the number one policy mistake since
World War II. And another 60 percent sees
Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is
a greater danger than terrorist attacks,
the scenario of America as the last man
standing. The lights may go out in Europe
faster than you can imagine. An Islamic
Europe means a Europe without freedom and
democracy, an economic wasteland, an
intellectual nightmare, and a loss of
military might for America - as its allies
will turn into enemies, enemies with
atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it
would be up to America alone to preserve
the heritage of Rome , Athens and
Jerusalem .....
DEar friends, liberty is the most precious
of gifts. My generation never had to
fight for this freedom, it was offered to
us on a silver platter, by people who
fought for it with their lives. All
throughout Europe , American cemeteries
remind us of the young boys who never made
it home, and whose memory we cherish. My
generation does not own this freedom; we
are merely its custodians. We can only
hand over this hard won liberty to Europe
's children in the same state in which it
was offered to us. We cannot strike a
deal with mullahs and imams. Future
generations would never forgive us. We
cannot squander our liberties. We simply
do not have the right to do so.
We have to take the necessary action now
to stop this Islamic stupidity from
destroying the free world that we know.
Please take the time to read and
understand what is written here, Please
send it to every free person that you
know, it is so very important.

army and lay awake at night, parents in
Europe and America can sleep well and
dream, unaware of the dangers looming.
Many in Europe argue in favor of
abandoning Israel in order to address the
grievances of our Muslim minorities. But
if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it
would not bring any solace to the West It
would not mean our Muslim minorities would
all of a sudden change their behavior, and
accept our values. On the contrary, the
end of Israel would give enormous
encouragement to the forces of Islam.
They would, and rightly so, see the demise
of Israel as proof that the West is weak,
and doomed. The end of Israel would not
mean the end of our problems with Islam,
but only the beginning. It would mean the
start of the final battle for world
domination. If they can get Israel , they
can get everything. So-called journalists
volunteer to label any and all critics of
Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists'
or 'racists'. In my country, the
Netherlands , 60 percent of the population
now sees the mass immigration of Muslims
as the number one policy mistake since
World War II. And another 60 percent sees
Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is
a greater danger than terrorist attacks,
the scenario of America as the last man
standing. The lights may go out in Europe
faster than you can imagine. An Islamic
Europe means a Europe without freedom and
democracy, an economic wasteland, an
intellectual nightmare, and a loss of
military might for America - as its allies
will turn into enemies, enemies with
atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it
would be up to America alone to preserve
the heritage of Rome , Athens and
Jerusalem .....
DEar friends, liberty is the most precious
of gifts. My generation never had to
fight for this freedom, it was offered to
us on a silver platter, by people who
fought for it with their lives. All
throughout Europe , American cemeteries
remind us of the young boys who never made
it home, and whose memory we cherish. My
generation does not own this freedom; we
are merely its custodians. We can only
hand over this hard won liberty to Europe
's children in the same state in which it
was offered to us. We cannot strike a
deal with mullahs and imams. Future
generations would never forgive us. We
cannot squander our liberties. We simply
do not have the right to do so.
We have to take the necessary action now
to stop this Islamic stupidity from
destroying the free world that we know.
Please take the time to read and
understand what is written here, Please
send it to every free person that you
know, it is so very important.

A Closer Look at Our President
By Douglas Hackleman
________________________________________
In 1993, thirty-three-year-old Barack Obama stiffed Poseidon Press, then an imprint of Simon & Schuster -- producing absolutely nothing for the publisher that in November 1990 had given the new graduate of Harvard Law School a $125,000 advance to write a book about race relations in America.
Eighteen years later, Simon & Schuster has achieved a modicum of revenge (intended or not) by contracting with literary and intellectual sleuth Jack Cashill to impose on Obama a little of the transparency he so disingenuously promised during the campaign of 2008.
Given Obama's approach to truth, the title of Cashill's sometimes impertinent sounding imposition -- Deconstructing Obama: The Life, Loves, and Letters of America's First Postmodern President -- suggests an appropriate methodology.
In this ever so readable and informative book, Cashill has taken great pains to corral probative evidence for two interesting matters: (1) the truth about who finally wrote Dreams >From My Father, the essay-cum-memoir that Random House -- providing its own advance of $40,000 -- eventually published; and (2) very reasonable questions about the paternity of the current president of the United States.
It had not occurred to Cashill in the autumn of 2008 to wonder who wrote Dreams, until a friend's query about the political significance of some passages from the book led him to purchase a copy. As one who writes for a living, who teaches writing, who has been the book doctor to the publications of others and who is the author of a recent book, Hoodwinked, about literary and intellectual fraud, Cashill has antennae finely tuned to assess the writing quality of any text he reads. Of the thousand-plus portfolios of professional writers Cashill had read in his twenty-five-year career in advertising and publishing, "not a half dozen among them wrote as well as the author of" Dreams' "best passages."
Accusations denied by Obama in April 2008 that he and William Ayers had a significant relationship in the 1990s led Cashill to purchase Ayers' terrorist memoir, Fugitive Days. The writing was excellent, he noticed, and a couple of passages reminded the curious sleuth of Obama's Dreams. Unaware at the time of Ayers' considerable literary output, Cashill wondered if perhaps the two Chicago residents -- Ayers and Obama -- had seen and patronized the same ghost. But then he acquired two published articles by Obama: one, "Breaking the War Mentality," an essay from his senior year at Columbia (1983), and another, "Why Organize?" written five years later. Cashill provides several examples of unworthy sentences from the two Obama originals in which nouns and verbs do not even agree. The two essays make obvious that when Obama does his own writing, it is on a par with his golf; and anyone who has seen the president's swing on YouTube knows he should drag his clubs to the Tidal Basin and drown them.
One of the early tells that for Cashill appeared to tie Ayers' writing to Obama's was the considerable and deft salting of nautical metaphors that seasoned the logs of Fugitive Days and Dreams, as if both authors had drunk the same grog. And then Cashill learned that right out of college Ayers had spent a pre-terrorism year in the Merchant Marine. What even the dullest readers ofDreams and Fugitive Days could stipulate to was that both the young Honolulu landlubber and the old Chicago salt yawed consistently to port.
Because it is a common practice for politicians to utilize ghosts for their speeches and books (Ted Sorensen wrote Jack Kennedy's Profiles in Courage, Cashill reminds us), Obama's employment of a literary shade would be of little consequence had he not claimed so publicly to having written both Dreams for My Father and Audacity of Hope himself and had his proxy penman not turned out to be former (and unrepentant) Weather Underground communist radical and bomber William Ayers.
Unaware of Ayers' involvement, Time magazine's Joe Klein (author of Primary Colors) called Dreams "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician." And British author Jonathan Raban named Obama "the best writer to occupy the White House since Lincoln." As Cashill writes, while Obama was pursuing the Democratic Party's nomination, "the literati had already embraced Obama as one of their own." The assumption that Obama had authored the books that appeared over his name snookered even the worldly-wise Christopher Buckley into voting for the man.
As the 2008 election neared, the mounting evidence made it increasingly clear that Obama had not authored his own memoir; and the Dreams account of the president's childhood appeared less and less reliable. Cashill had not approached the Obama corpus as a bitter birther who suspected Obama was born outside the United States. It was the careful exploration of Dreams -- especially the facts and timeline pertaining to his paternity -- that eventually led the sleuth to doubt that Barack Obama, Sr., the Kenyan graduate student after whom Ann Dunham's son was named, could be his father. And the chances seem awfully slim that the three were ever together as a family. "If Obama was born on August 4, 1961 ... Ann [Dunham Obama] was in Seattle two weeks later," writes Cashill, registered at the University of Washington for two evening classes that began August 19, 1961 -- "Anthropology 100, 'Introduction to the Study of Man,' and Political Science 201, 'Modern Government.'" That is just one of many problems with the story of Barry's early childhood provided in Dreams and contradicted at so many points by the family and friends of Obama's mother and putative father.
What adds to the pleasure of reading this very well written exposé is the manner of its presentation. Readers get to ride along with a masterful literary detective, watch him tag interesting items, and appreciate how he arranges them on the evidence table. To many readers, the initial clues that caught Cashill's attention may seem picayune or indicative of little or nothing. But as the evidence accumulates, it becomes obvious that it is the author's perfect pitch that enabled him to recognize the ruse.
Deconstructing Obama contains a lot of facts related to Obama that his acolytes have never found interesting. Just a few from the highlight reel:
Dreams does not contain a single sentence about campus life during the five years combined Obama spent at Columbia and Harvard -- nearly 17 percent of his life when the book was first proposed.
Readers cannot learn from Dreams that as a twenty-year-old Obama took a trip to Pakistan, why, or on whose dime.
Obama dropped the agent that acquired for him two advances (totaling $165,000) for the myth-making book, before his swearing in as senator in 2004 and the signing of a deal with Crown Books for a paperback version of Dreams and the production of Audacity of Hope.
Since 2004, Obama's two books have earned him royalties of around $8.3 million. (Imagine the piece of that action his original agent missed out on!)
Obama appears to have learned nothing about literary ethics while serving as a research assistant to plagiarizing Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe.
Obama has admitted rather privately but explicitly that he was "someone who has undoubtedly benefitted from affirmative action programs during my academic career."
Christopher Hitchens was not impressed with Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis: "To describe [the thesis] as hard to read would be a mistake; the thesis cannot be 'read' at all, in the strict sense of the verb. This is because it wasn't written in any known language."
Not only is Cashill's hunt inherently riveting, but the detective's sometimes cynical voice leads to impish, politically incorrect fun with language. Three examples: "Newsweek made Obama its cover boy under the heading 'The Color Purple.'" "Obama's fellow progressives, the party's base, understand that the long march through the institutions will have many strategic stalls." "As Obama would soon learn, the pastor [Jeremiah Wright] did not exactly cotton to a public spanking by a protégé."
For this reviewer, the most fascinating chapters in an engrossing book are the two -- "Gramps" and "Frank" -- that describe the radical, poet, and pornographer Frank Marshall Davis and his disturbingly close relationship to the pre-and post adolescent Barry Obama.
When Jack Cashill is finished deconstructing Barack Obama, we are left with a very different image from the one portrayed inDreams and by the Obama presidential campaign. When our sleuth has put this puzzle together, the pieces accumulate to reveal an image -- but it is not the one on the box cover.
Cashill's book demonstrates that the president's 2008 campaign was not about the audacity of hope; it was about the audacity of Obama. His dogged detective work also demonstrates that in no previous American presidential election has the press so abysmally failed to meet its professional obligation. In no national election of memory was the vote so singularly based on such a dearth of data about the candidate who won.
If the fourth estate looked anything like America, the preliminary findings Cashill attempted to share with the press in October 2008 would have established Ayers publicly as the ghost of Obama's Dreams, and Sarah Palin most likely would be the first female vice president of the United States. Had the press done its own digging and reporting much earlier in the campaign of 2007-2008 for the Democratic Party nomination, Hillary Clinton would be the first pants-suited president of the United States.
Michelle Obama's assertions about Ayers' work on Dreams in Christopher Andersen's book, Barack and Michelle, puts a cap on the independent evidence that Obama lied about writing the memoir himself, and that he had another cock-crowing moment when he said Bill Ayers was just "a guy who lives in my neighborhood." Beyond working with Obama on Dreams, Obama's first political campaign was launched in 1995 at the home of William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn; and Ayers' maneuvering of Obama onto the $50 million Chicago Annenberg Challenge that same year indicates unavoidably that during the middle years of the Clinton presidency the two were thick as thieves.
Cashill's demonstration that misrepresentations unexamined by the press lead to fraud-based outcomes is the most disturbing part of the story. For a democratic republic, nothing is so sacrosanct as the right to vote; and that is why women's suffrage through the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were (and remain) such emotional and precious victories. When enabled by a complacent, cowardly, or complicit press, an audacious political hustler can disenfranchise the voters of an entire nation. The integrity of "by the people" is desecrated and voided no less by a candidate who succeeds in totally misrepresenting himself and his policies to voters than by the wholesale stuffing of ballot boxes.
Most unfortunately, the deconstruction of congenial myths is often received with the same enthusiasm as a stool specimen in the baptistery. While Jesus of the gospels said that the truth will set you free, one of his most poetically ardent defenders recognized that "nations grown corrupt" would rather take "bondage with ease than strenuous liberty." This fact is made obvious by the struthious apologetics that day by day through the popular media continue to anchor the myths of Dreams andAudacity.
Somehow the damning facts exposed in Deconstructing Obama must saturate the electorate before the 2012 elections, so that those who voted for the Barry of Dreams or the Barack of Audacity can see that what they voted for in 2008 was a cunningly devised fable

Government corruption in action!
Patrick Michaels is a senior fellow in Environmental Studies at the Cato Institute and the editor of the forthcoming Climate Coup: Global Warming's Invasion of our Government and our Lives, as well as the author of several other books on global warming.
His Forbes column on the Chevy VOLT is a case study in the nexus between big government corruption and big business rent-seeking.
Michaels briefly recaps the well-known consumer fraud in which GM has touted the VOLT as an all-electric mass production vehicle on the supposed basis of which its sales receive a $7, 500 taxpayer subsidy, which still renders it overpriced and unmarketable.
Michaels notes that "sales are anemic: 326 in December, 321 in January, and 281 in February." There seems to be a trend here . . .
Michaels adds that GM has announced a production run of 100, 000 in the first two years and asks what appears to be a rhetorical question: "Who is going to buy all these cars?"
But wait! Keep hope alive! There is a positive answer to the question.
Jeffrey Immelt's GE will buy a boatload of those uneconomic GM cars. Here the case study opens onto the inevitable political angle: Recently, President Obama selected General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt to chair his Economic Advisory Board.
GE is also awash in windmills waiting to be subsidized so they can provide unreliable, expensive power. Consequently, and soon after his appointment, Immelt announced that GE will buy 50, 000 VOLTs in the next two years, or half the total produced.
Assuming the corporation qualifies for the same tax credit, we (you and me) just shelled out $375,000,000 to a company that pays no taxes, to buy cars that no one else wants, so that GM will not tank and produce even more cars that no one wants. And this guy is the chair of Obama's Economic Advisory Board?
But of course. Michaels includes this hilarious detail in his case study: In a telling attempt to preserve battery power, the heater is exceedingly weak. Consumer Reports their tests averaged a paltry 25 miles of electric-only running, in part because it was testing in cold Connecticut.
(The [GM] engineer at the Auto Show said cold weather would have little effect.) It will be interesting to see what the range is on a hot, traffic-jammed summer day, when the air conditioner will really tax the batteries. When the gas engine came on, Consumer Reports got about 30 miles to the gallon of premium fuel; which, in terms of additional cost of high-test gas, drives the effective mileage closer to 27 mpg. A conventional Honda Accord, which seats 5 (instead of the VOLT's 4), gets 34 mpg on the highway, and costs less than half of what CR paid, even with the tax break.
The story of the GM VOLT deserves a place in the Harvard Business School curriculum....but of course, it won't. It's a classic tale of the GOVERNMENT deciding what the public needs, not the marketplace.
- What is one of the reasons for this? Why, to keep the UAW in business, so they can pay for his reelection and because Obama owes them for his election. Starting to make sense yet?

And Still We Put Him In the White House -
Yes, he told us in advance what he planned to do. Few were listening.
The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised "Meet The Press'.
From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.
General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...
During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It".
NOW GET THIS !!
'Senator' Obama replied:
"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides". "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American
flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing."
(ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)
Obama continued: "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of waring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ...."
When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injusticewhich is WHY my wife disrespects the Flagand she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past".
"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside . I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path..My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America "
I, for one, am speechless!!!

As for me I am glad that dad is not alive to have witnessed what is going on.. It would have broke his heart. Every night I ask God to forgive us for what we have done with this great country that he gave us to take care of.
