Carter Rescues One Hostage But Left 52 Behind

As usual, I have been pondering the idiocy of the left, since they leave me so much fodder for material. Today I am focusing on the lunacy of the left hailing kudos to Carter.

Up until Obama was elected, I had regarded Carter as one of the worst presidents in the history of the nation. Nothing to date can possibly overshadow the atrocities that Obama has committed so far against the nation, but Carter should not necessarily be lost in the shadows.

Along with a 70% income tax, 17% borrowing rate, odd-even days for gasoline due to gasoline shortages, a huge recession, and almost 13% unemployment, Carter can claim another important failure as president, namely the Iranian hostage crisis.

Carter was such a big loser with his weakness and appeasement to our enemies policies, that he failed to rescue 52 Americans held hostage by Iran for a whopping 444 days. Has the left forgotten this? Or is the failed education system so pathetic that young people do not know our history from just a few decades ago?

If it wasn't for the strength of Reagan, a real president with backbone, patriotism, and pride in our nation, the Iranians would not have released those hostages just minutes after Reagan was sworn in as president. They knew Reagan was not weak and meant business.

The history and the message is clear as day. We are safer when our enemies fear us. We are weaker when our president appeases our enemies. Carter was weak and Obama is now following in his footsteps.

Except yesterday, Carter is hailed as a big hero and negotiator for getting one hostage out of North Korea. ONE? ONE? To me this does not erase his record for the 52 hostages held for 444 days in Iran. Carter can never redeem himself for his actions.

And the worst part is, when he presumably went there to do Obama's bidding, what promises were made to our enemies? What additional weaknesses will there be in our national security as a result?

Appeasing dictators is not a strategy for improving our national security. But the weak never learn that lesson, and the rest of us will be stuck suffering for it.

Obama Declares Habeas Corpus by Location?

Perhaps Obama took the Hippocratic oath since his administration is filled with such hypocrisy. Of course, I am sure if we asked him, it would be all Bush's fault. Or maybe TOTUS is putting words in his mouth. Either way, he is a hypocrite from every angle.

First he wants to grant foreign terrorists constitutional rights, and now he is playing semantics with the rights of foreign terrorists on foreign lands.

Obama declares that it depends on where the prisoners are held? Really?

"So congratulations to the United States and Barack Obama for winning the power to abduct people anywhere in the world and then imprison them for as long as they want with no judicial review of any kind."

I think I am just going to let this article speak for itself,

Brazil, Ally of Iran?

Iran is moving full speed ahead on it's path for world destruction. Sadly, dictators are able to find no shortage of friends around the globe. I guess the common goal of destroying the world binds them together.

Surprisingly, even some of these friends have their limits. Russia refused to deliver the weapons, but Iran managed to obtain them anyway.

Who could be the unspecified source? North Korea? Venezuela? Cuba?

Or could it be Brazil?

Soros Wants World Govt Run Media

Ah, the Marxists and their antics. They will never be able to take control if there is freedom of thought, an exchange of ideas, and real news being reported. So it is no surprise that Soros, Ayers, Dohrn, and all the other Marxists who are Obama's associates have sought to ignore the concept of freedom of the press and replace it with propaganda.

While the propaganda may have succeeded in brainwashing some of the people and getting Obama elected, with the recently disclosed journo-lists, the cat is out of the bag.

The media hit and run they did upon Palin is disgraceful. For an in-depth tale of this, watch the film "Media Malpractice".

They don't deserve to call themselves journalists. It was only so long before the con game was discovered. Eventually, the truth will prevail. Hopefully, that time is now, before the next election.

Fingerprinting 4 year olds

It is no secret to those of us who are paying attention that the web of statists expands through out the globe like a fungus. After all, their goal of a new world order cannot be achieved without statists everywhere causing the world to rot from the inside. And since they cannot easily brainwash all the adults, they focus on the erosion of liberty through the vulnerability of children who don't know their rights yet.

In this regard, I came across a couple of articles that I found to be disturbing to say the least.

This one justifies fingerprinting four year olds in order to borrow a library book or to pay for a school meal. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/7771112/Children-as-young-as-4-to-be-fingerprinted-to-borrow-school-books.html

They allege that the information is not stored. If this is the case, how would they know who has to return the book? Or to whom to charge the meal? Clearly, it must be stored and the claim that it isn't stored is a lie.

Furthermore, why is this even necessary? People have had library cards for decades. Parents have been paying for school meals for decades with cash or checks. Why is this no longer sufficient?

This starts with library books and meals, but as with everything else, the statists won't stop there. This will at some point progress throughout all facets of their lives, until such time as one needs to be fingerprinted in order to process any transaction no matter how tiny. The statist will have full control of everyone and their lives are no longer their own.

While this may be occurring in the UK and you may think it couldn't happen in America, think again. The statists are subtlety taking baby steps, proceeding inconspicuously to achieve their goal of a new world order.

Two years ago, a school in Rhode Island began microchipping students' schoolbags, and they did it without any one's permission.

"Because the pilot program is being provided to the school district at no cost, it did not require approval from the Rhode Island ethics commission."

http://rinf.com/alt-news/sicence-technology/us-school-district-to-begin-microchipping-students/3886/

The "at no cost" claim is also a lie. Nothing is free. Someone is paying for it. Regardless of whether it is indirectly the taxpayers via taxes, or investors, or the statists, this doesn't make it acceptable.

Since when is the right to liberty able to be infringed upon by using a justification that it is "no cost"? Where is that in the Constitution?

Communist nations may provide "free" services to their enslaved citizens but that does not make them more free. Rather it leaves them without any liberty at all. No liberty is the ultimate goal of the statists. Beware of those bearing "free" gifts, as it really isn't free at all, and the cost to you will be high.

Tax Hokey Pokey

The beauty of tv and videos everywhere is the ability to play it back later. Throughout Obama's campaign, he stated over and over that there would be no new taxes on 95% of Americans.

When he pushed through his Obamacare agenda, the mandated fines were denied as being a tax. Now that the bill is being challenged in courts, the administration now declares the bill to be Constitutional based upon the ability to tax via the 16th amendment.

http://www.redstate.com/moe_lane/2010/07/18/wh-individual-mandate-now-a-tax/

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/18/health/policy/18health.html?_r=1&ref=politics

In addition, the current debate on allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire, will in effect be an increase in taxes on all Americans.

Obama is playing the hokey pokey with taxes and shaking it all about to try to create a distraction. But at the rate that he is spending, we are doomed for new excessive taxes.

Those old Obama campaign videos of no new taxes should be very useful for his opponent in the next campaign. I can't wait to see Obama try to talk his way out of this one.

Socialized Medicine Leaves Babies in the Waiting Room

A woman giving birth should be a special time. Although she needs extra medical attention, it should not be wrought with a denial of care. But with socialized medicine, this is exactly what happens. The government is in charge of care and decides who gets what and when, and how much.

The denial of care is inevitable in nations with socialized medicine. Some of the population is expected to foot the bill for the rest. The rationing is therefore symptomatic of a socialized system as a result of monetary limitations.

So now that Obamacare has been inflicted upon us, the end result of such systems elsewhere are an indication of what will happen here. This will impact all care, including childbirth.

These two examples of childbirth in socialized nations will make your hair stand on edge.

This woman had a miscarriage in the waiting room, after waiting 12-14 hours while bleeding.

This woman was forced to give birth on a hospital floor.

Now that Missouri has rejected the Obamacare mandate, I can only hope that the rest of the states follow in their footsteps and toss this bill into the shredder. Otherwise, our mothers to be are in for the same treatment or lack thereof as socialized nations.
