President or Jihad? think about it

Man the level of insanity in this country right now is killing me. Forget the terrorists I am starting to become more freaked out by the thought of some of the nuts that we let roam around this country, especially in the wake of the Sarah Palin phenomenon.

There is not much to say about this nut, except that I don't believe he necessarily hates Obama, but just the idea of government, which isn't rare in America today. But I just get a kick out of how these people are against government, but then always want it to help bail them out. How these Republican politicians are supposedly against government, but yet aspire for the highest offices in government - the reasoning just baffles me.

But you have to watch this clip, I mean if you think Obama is doing a bad job maybe its because you have been listening to nuts like this guy, who have no idea what they are talking about, for way to long.

It's been one year since America voted for Change

It's has been one year since millions of Americans from across the country flocked to the polls and overwhelmingly voted for change in a nation and world that so desperately needed it. Now the only question remaining since Barack Obama's historic election is 'how has America changed?'

On the surface it is easy to see how Obama has changed us as a nation: the mood, our optimism, a renewed self-belief in ourselves and our status around the world has all changed with our decision to elect the most popular public figure in the world. I think we often forget about these obvious changes in the face of Obama's struggles to change the failed policies of the last eight years because we are living it and not just observing it like the rest of the world. But when you talk to foreigners about today's America compared to that of the Bush administration, there is no hiding their excitement over all the possibilities that could evolve out of America in the future.

However, as Americans we are not outsiders and we are the people who actually are living the change that has come to our nation, so it is understandable all of the backlash that has faced the young president - especially when there is a small group of nuts out there who would argue the sky is red if Obama said it were blue. But some people will never be happy as long as Obama is president, much like many liberals would have never been happy as long as Bush was president - although I like to think we gave him more of a chance.

But for many of us who voted for Obama, America might not seem much different considering the two wars continue to wage on overseas, jobs continue to be lost and health care continues to kill thousands of Americans every day. But in time all of these issues will be resolved and Obama not only believes this, he knows it. I too know it to be true because by the 2010 elections America will be withdrawing troops from Iraq and turning over power to the Iraqi government, the economy, which is already showing signs of improvement, will start to create more jobs as the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act continues to be spent, and we should have a health care package that, public option or not, will help to save thousands of lives through regulation and expanded care.

Of course while the president struggles to make the right decision to resolve all of these major dilemma's that Bush not only in many instances created, but failed to resolve, he has also instituted the kind of change which we can all see, including the closing of Guantanamo Bay, the repudiation of Bush's tax cuts for the rich and policy that limited federal funding for stem cell research, appointed the most diverse and bipartisan cabinet in American history and nominated the first Hispanic woman to the Supreme Court.

On top of these fundamental changes, Obama has promised to repeal 'don't ask don't tell,' rid the world of nuclear arms and offer diplomatic talks to resolve some of the major issues dividing America, its allies and its adversaries around the world. And while America will always come first, Obama is also looking to the future of working in a more globalized world.

So while the haters out there continue to rip on our new leader for not bringing about what in their minds constitutes as "immediate change," which he never promised in the first place, the notion that Obama has failed to change anything is like saying Bush changed America for the better, which any way you look at it is not the case.

"Kill Obama" Facebook poll goes too far

Q: Should Obama be Killed?
1. No
2. Maybe
3. Yes
4. Yes if he cuts my health care



Death panels, concentration camps, organ-harvesting, gun touting radicals, Republican mutiny and angry mobs have been just a few of the attacks launched against America's first African-American President, Barack Obama, since taking office.

While all of these hate filled attacks are associated with a small, but overexposed movement against our nation's young, African-American President, one recent poll on the popular social network site, Facebook, asking whether or not President Obama should be "killed," has taken the level of hate that currently exists in our nation to new levels.

While the poll has since been taken down and the creator received a pleasant visit from the Secret Service, it is a disturbing thought that a person would even consider such a heinous and inhuman act of assassinating our leader. On top trying to insight a possible assassination attempt, this poll shows a level of naivety among the Facebook/MySpace generation, and the anti-Obama supporters, that feel they can say or do anything without repercussion.

First of all this person is lucky they asked such a question in a democratic nation, because if this had been posed under another regime, you can bet this person would probably never be heard from again. But this is America, where such stupid actions raise concerns and visits from men in dark suits, but nothing else.

While I find the poll to be appalling as an American citizen, and yes I would have found it just as appalling if it had been posed about President Bush, I believe this type of action is a direct result of the president's race and more importantly the crazed verbal attacks being waged against him by a small group of right-wing nuts, conservative talk radio hosts and Republican officials, who have relentlessly attacked him on every front since taking office.

The culture that Obama's presidency is breeding among conservatives is exactly what he promised to change during last year's election. But if we don't start acting in a reasonable, civil manner as a society, then there is no chance of our president ever achieving the success and togetherness he envisions for our country.

It is not President Obama that is the problem with America as many of his dissenters would lead you to believe, but rather it is these bastards, who care more about their egotistical self-interests than aiding their fellow countrymen and respecting their nation's leader. And while I stress such an attack is as much against Obama as it is the Presidency itself, we must also remember when you call for assassination, you are calling for the death of an innocent human being, who has a wife, two kids and has never done anything directly to harm any Americans.

As a citizen and patriot of this country, I am fed up with these lunatics attempting to bully our president and our fellow countrymen around at the expense of their own gain. We must begin to stand against such tyranny and say that no more will we allow the office of the president to be disrespected in the way it has been for the past eight months, and in many ways the past eight years.

A step in the right direction: Obama calls on world to combat nuclear weapons, climate change and economic crisis

Supporters of President Barack Obama, who feel as though change was just a mantra associated more with the ambitious president's campaign than his presidency, should begin to rest easy after the newly anointed president laid out a list of objectives intended at changing not only America, but the world, during his first address to the United Nations General Assembly.

While New York and the rest of the world has bare witness to some circus like antics from the world's most powerful dictators, terrorists and leaders since their arrival in the United States, which was highlighted earlier this week when Lybian dictator Mommar Gaddafi tried pitching a tent in Donald Trumps backyard (and more importantly the backyard of the victims of the 1989 UTA Flight 772 bombings, which Gaddafi funded), Obama has shinned on the world's stage, insisting that the interests of the world’s peoples are shared, more than at any point in human history, and the international community must embrace “a new era of engagement” to confront pressing challenges such as nuclear proliferation, climate change and economic crisis.

“The time has come for the world to move in a new direction. We must embrace a new era of engagement based on mutual interests and mutual respect, and our work must begin now,” Obama said.

In his speech to world leaders, Obama laid out "four pillars" that he expects will lead to a better future for the rest of the world. These new benchmarks include "nonproliferation and disarmament; the promotion of peace and security; the preservation of our planet; and a global economy that advances opportunity for all people.”

Obama said if we are to achieve these objectives then democracy and human rights are the key elements to success.

"Just as no country should be forced to accept the tyranny of another, no individual should have to accept the tyranny of their own government," Obama said.

Aside from the promotion of security, Obama's "four pillars" can be viewed as a new beginning for American foreign policy that was dominated over the past eight years by a unilateral effort to ensure the United States' security and prosperity, while leaving the rest of the world in the dark. Obama stood firm on his ideology which promotes a united front worldwide in order to work towards peace, ridding the world of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD's) and combating climate change - a drastic change from the views of the Bush Administration that included former U.S. Ambassador John Bolton, who didn't even believe the United Nations existed.

Obama's two biggest stands signaling America's new outlook on the world could most strongly be seen in his reassertion of his campaign promise to create a world free of nuclear weapons and his, and with it Americas, recognition that the world cannot "drag its feet" on the issue of climate change anymore.

“There will be no peace unless we take responsibility for the preservation of our planet,” Obama said. “Our efforts to end conflicts will be eclipsed by wars over refugees and resources. Development will be devastated by drought and famine. The world also faces the judgment of future generations by failing to act."

Obama called on foreign leaders, whose countries were most responsible for climate change during the 20th century, to be leaders on the issue, to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and educate third-world countries on the threats of global warming - a theory the Bush Administration dismissed as phony, even with the studies confirming climate change by the world's leading scientists and the EPA.

Obama also championed his mission to rid the world of nuclear weapons during the summit and achieved a major step in his fight for a world free of WMD's, while acting as chairman of the U.N. Security Council - making him only the second U.S. president to do so since the council was formed in 1946. In his inaugural day as chairman, Obama received a unanimous vote of 15-0 in favor of an initiative to end nuclear proliferation worldwide. He promised that the U.N. would uphold their end of the bargain by working with Russia to substantially reduce strategic warheads and launchers, and ratifying the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty that would permanently prohibit nuclear testing.

Obama also reaffirmed his interest in reaching peaceful agreements with Iran and North Korea over their pursuit of nuclear weapons, but stressed the two nation's must be held accountable for their pursuit of nuclear weapons if they failed to comply.

"The world must stand together to demonstrate that international law is not an empty promise, and that treaties will be enforced. We must insist that the future does not belong to fear,” Obama said.

Obama's first major showing in front of the world seems to have brought about a resounding shift in how America looks at the world in terms of foreign policy, and hopefully how the world looks at America. While Obama called for world leaders to step up to the plate to combat such issues as peace, WMD's and climate change, he also stood against the notion that America will continue to act alone in this world as it did during the Bush Administration.

"Those who used to chastise America for acting alone in the world cannot now stand by and wait for America to solve the world's problems alone," Obama said. "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges."

While many president's have touted the idea of world leaders working together over the years, Obama was able to do it in a way that said, "If we are going to fix the world, we need to work together once and for all or face the consequences." While in some ways he did sound like President Bush by not apologizing for America's unilateral actions to protect itself in the face of endangering the rest of the world, in many ways he did what all Americans should expect of him by showing strong leadership which we has often failed to show on such domestic issues as health care reform. While he failed to apologize for any of America's actions, Obama's message did have this humble appeal to it that more or less said, "if you don't act, America will fail too, because we alone cannot solve the problems of the world. "

The biggest difference between Bush and Obama's foreign policy that can most be seen, aside from his ambition to fight climate change and rid the world of WMD's, has to be his understanding that while he believes America to be supreme in the world, people in other countries also feel their nation's to be supreme. This type of respect, and ideology, is a drastic change from that of the Bush Administration, who for years acted alone and without any regard for the concerns of the rest of the world and its people when addressing its foreign policy.

While some might be quick to chastise the president over his failure to withdraw troops from Iraq earlier, or the additional troops he recently deployed to Afghanistan, we must realize that it took eight years to get into this mess, and it will take sometime to untangle the doings of the previous administration, while not losing sight of the fact that many innocent Iraqi's and Afgani's have now come to rely on America for security in this increasingly dangerous world. But one thing is for sure, we finally have a president that is willing to act like a leader on the world's stage instead of a bully - and that has to be a refreshing proposition to both Americans and the people of the world.

Obamania hits Capital Region - Local supporters tear gased amidst riot

It was a beautiful day outside for President Barack Obama's visit to Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, NY, on Monday. That was until an angry mob of the president's blood sucking supporters ruined what was supposed to be one of the most patriotic days in the history of a city known as the birthplace of Uncle Sam, all so a handful of Obamaniacs could get a glimpse of the man, who is more popular than Taylor Swift to his supporters and more despised than Kanye West to his opponents.

The scene outside was ugly as a group of crazed, left-wing nuts convened in front of William's Hall on the HVCC campus - the location where the president was scheduled to speak at 11:30 a.m - about an hour before the president's speech that was to cover technology, education and future job growth in the Capital Region.

Preparations for the president's visit had been in place since the weekend, when it was made known that there would be no tickets available to the public. I even failed to muster up a press pass from those filthy swine's over at HVCC, who failed to return my emails or calls. While what ensued is hard to blame event organizers for, it is also impossible to neglect giving the bastards who put this poorly crafted event together none of the blame at all, especially when they were well aware of what has happened in other towns and cities that barred the public from seeing the president.

Yes it was a sketchy scene from the beginning, and I should have known better than to head to the battlefield, but this journalist refused to allow such an event to transpire without any coverage - especially when it was taking place in my own backyard and knowing what type of hacks would be covering the event.

I arrived around 10:30 a.m. after walking 10 blocks to the front lines, where police had blocked off the only road into the college. It had been impossible to find a place to park and I eventually left my car in a traffic jam about two miles from the college along with other supporters who had done the same. As I approached the college I found police had blocked off the road leading to campus.

"So what's the score here?" I asked one officer who stood in front of the barricade. "Do you think it will be safe to even go near where the president is speaking?"

(No response)

"Don't worry man, I am not one of them," I whispered, pulling a cigarette out of my coat pocket and lighting it. "I am just journalist here on assignment to finally uncover the truth about what really happens at these events."

He continues to stare straight ahead - expressionless - but I can see the fear in his eyes and feel the nerves gripping his body to the point of paralysis. Just as I started to walk away I heard him say quietly, "Be careful in there. If things get to out of control I hear they are just going to start shooting people. The same thing happened at one of the president's speeches in California about a month back. The public was denied entry and people just went baserk. Police and secret service were forced to kill 12 people before the crowd finally dispersed. The public doesn’t know about any of this though, because the president's office is attempting to keep it a secret. They feel if people have to subdue their enthusiasm over him it might stop their momentum going into the next election. But those bastards deserved it. I saw the videos of what they did that day. Those people are mad, mad tell you."

I knew all too well the horrors of what the officer was speaking of. I was at Obama's inauguration, or the Chicago Riots times two as most of us who were in attendance have come to call it. The media had the event pinned as a peaceful affair, and were able to back up their stance by using images from one of Ronald Reagan's inaugurations to fool those at home watching the historical event unravel on TV. But I was there, I saw the horrors of the Obamaniacs with my own two eyes, and if I knew those images wouldn't haunt my dreams for the rest of my life I would relive that day for you, but I promised myself, and my psychiatrist, that I would never allow myself to conjure up the horrors of that day again.

I made my way through campus where I could feel the energy jolting through people as they frolicked to William's Hall hoping to catch a glimpse of the president. They seemed overjoyed to be in the same place as the president, but I knew that feeling would only last until they reached the Hall and were denied entry.

I had originally received word of the Obamaniacs presence at the event through an email that said they intended on meeting at a local grocery store across the street from the college about two hours prior to the event. They were asking people to design signs supporting the president and his policies. But don't let them fool you. For these are no ordinary signs, but rather decoys. You see the supporters bring the signs hoping not to draw attention to the shank-like weapon they have designed out of the wooden poles used to hold the signs up. They use their hands to shield the bladed shaft that they will use to fight off anyone attempting to stop them from entering and seeing the president speak.

I eventually arrived at the Hall to find hundreds, possibly even thousands of frantic Obamaniacs convened outside, holding their death signs high in the air, ready to attack anyone attempting to stop them from getting a glimpse of the president. Secret Service and local police in riot gear have created a barricade where some of the 450 special guests invited to attend the event were to enter through. As I approached the savage mob, I could tell they have become enraged by the sight of the lucky few who gained access to the event. I watched as attendees nervously filtered into the Hall, keeping their eyes keenly on the crowd that would love to stab anyone of them in the back with one of their wooden shanks to acquire their credentials.

While the attendees were well shielded from the Obamaniacs, they did not hesitate to scream obscenities and threats at the attendees. Some even offered up sexual favors from their wives in exchange for their right of entry. It is horrifying to think that these fiends would sell their own family for a glimpse of Obama.

There were a small number of anti-Obama supporters outside, but the few brave souls who had arrived were now realizing the inclinations of their visit as a group of Obamaniacs circled the demonstrators, yelling death threats and prodding them with their pro-Obama signs.

"You better hope I am not your bitch mothers, fucking doctor once universal health care is passed," One man screams in anger. "Cause if I am I will leave her to die, while I make sure you and your whole family is whisked away to some concentration camp where you will be sodomized for months on end until they decide to burn you alive!"

It was horrifying and words cannot even begin to describe the sinister look on the faces of these lunatics. I can't believe my own eyes or ears, for it seemed the hate in these people had grown even greater than what it had been in January. Worse yet there is nothing anyone can do to stop these fiends from harassing and possibly killing these men and women as they become more enraged and violent as fellow supporters passing by egg on the quivering demonstrators attackers.

Inside the president had taken the podium. His speech, which I would later see, was filled with hope for a region that was once a leader in manufacturing before companies began relocating from the area over the past two decades. He spoke about not only the importance of the United States becoming a leader in education, but more importantly, reinforced to the citizens of the Capital Region that there are talented workers living here. It was a broad ranging speech that touched upon the history and future growth of the region, and how it can be an example of what the U.S. will need to do in the future if it intends to create new jobs and continue to be a world leader in manufacturing.

"Troy, NY has bore the brunt of a changing economy," Obama eloquently said.

While the message inside was positive not only for our area, but our nation, outside the Obamaniacs had turned what should have been a joyful affair for the region into one of anger, fear and violence. All sorts of objects from cell phones to shoes filled the air as men, women and children of all races grew in anger just knowing the president was well into his speech inside. A man next to me even collapsed to the ground after a falling battery crushed his skull. I witnessed a group of children attack a elderly man holding an anti-Obamacare sign and an old woman get beat with her purse by a group of teenage girls, who did not appreciate her comparison of Obama to Hitler, Stalin, Hussein, Mussolini, bin Laden or King George III. I hurried to escape the area, trying to blend in with the Obamaniacs by shouting things like "Kill the pigs!" and "If I can't see him no one will!" as I nervously shuffled my way to the edge of the mob.

Gun shots rang out and a cloud of tear gas filled the air just before I reached the mob's edge. I hit the ground, quickly struggling to my feet to fight my way to safety in the midst of the frantic crowd that at this point was being met by the batons of the SWAT team, who had been called as back up in case of such a situation. I am bounced around the mob like a female porn star in a gang bang, punching one of the Obamaniacs in the head and knocking him to the ground after he had tried to throw me in front of one of the officers to shield him from his baton. The officer sees I am not one of them and spares bashing my head in with his baton, which I am grateful for. I finally reached the edge of the crowd and ran across campus to safety as Obamaniacs fled the scene all around me.

I later found out that the president was quickly rushed out after the speech, and attendees were secured inside the Hall while police dispersed the rest of the crowd. They told them that there had been a security breach by some gun-touting Republican, but not to be afraid.

After the dust settled I bravely made my way back to the war zone to find bodies strewn about the ground like rotting dead elephants after an attack by ivory poachers. The carnage is horrific as I vomited just at the sight of the brain matter that s the walkways leading up to the Hall. Although the violence was nothing like what I had witnessed in Washington on that cold day in January, it was equally as horrifying in nature. As quickly as I arrived back at the scene, I am shuffled away by secret service personnel just as I see a large black truck with government plates pull up and law enforcement officers begin loading bodies into the back of it.

Later that night when I turned on the news I can't say I was surprised to find that none of the local news stations or the national news stations like MSNBC, CNN or FOX for that matter had covered the horrific events that unfolded on the college campus during the president's speech. But I cannot in good conciseness, not even if it means my life, continue to neglect what is happening at these events. That is why I voted for John McCain, not because I agreed with any of his visions for America or his policies, but because if he had won you could be certain no one would have shown up to have seen him speak, much less an angry mob of star struck fans.

Let's just hope someone can talk some sense into these maniacs before it turns into a national catastrophe, which was narrowly avoided at President Obama's inauguration. If only the president, or other Democrats, who have influence over these blood sucking lunatics, would stand up and tell these bastards to stop their heinous actions before innocent people, or possibly even are president, gets killed!

Obama to visit Capital Region

Local news organizations throughout the Capital Region have confirmed that President Barack Obama will be stopping at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, NY, on Monday to discuss growing technology in the area and the new Global Foundries computer chip plant that is currently under construction at the Luther Forest Technology Campus in Malta.

Rumors had been swirling over the past week about a possible visit by President Obama to the Malta campus in order to discuss one of the few feel good stories concerning future job growth in an area of the country where unemployment rates threaten working families.

The project was green lighted earlier this year after three years of speculation and doubt over whether or not the company, Advanced Micro Devices, would actually build at the site - even after they were promised billions of dollars in tax incentives by State officials. But even with the incentives, Advanced Micro Devices, which was originally supposed to build at the site before it merged with an Adubi company, The Foundry, to form Global Foundries, was looking as though they would be lucky to stay in business for the next year let alone commit to building a multi-billion dollar computer chip plant in Malta. But alas company officials formed Global Foundries and committed to the region by purchasing 220-acres of land at the technology campus in order to build the $4.2 billion dollar facility.

The project is expected to create approximately 1,400 new manufacturing jobs, with an estimated payroll of more than $88 million. It is also expected that the project will create an additional 5,000 new, indirect jobs in the region, with an estimated payroll of $290 million per year.

Construction of the facility is expected to create approximately 1,600 new construction jobs, plus an additional 2,700 jobs that will be created due to future growth, so it is no wonder why with unemployment numbers continuing to rise, Obama is taking the time to visit the region to highlight this type of future growth to the rest of the nation.

Obama will arrive at Albany International Airport on Monday before heading to a global conference at the United Nations in New York City. The visit was originally intended to be held at the Luther Forest Campus, but has been moved to HVCC due to its close proximity to Albany Airport. Obama is expected to arrive at HVCC around 11 a.m. on Monday. If all goes well I should be there in person with a full report on what the President had to say later that day.

"You lie!" Mr. President

It has been a long time since President Barack Obama looked like the inspirational candidate that stole America's hearts and eventually their vote during last year's presidential election, but in the mouth of a storm that could have put an end to health care reform and potentially his presidency, the young president rose up Wednesday to give one of his best and most empowering speeches since taking office.

And no the speech I am talking about is not the cutesy little, "School is cool!" speech that he delivered to children across the country earlier in the week, but a clear, passionate and forceful speech that turned the president into a leader instead of a cheerleader on the issue of health care for the first time since the heated debate began three months ago.

Not only did he move us emotionally with anecdotes of people losing their battles with diseases like cancer and leukemia due to being dropped by their insurance companies in the midst of the fight to save their lives, but he was also able to make it clear, to the average American, what this whole health care reform thingy actually means for all of us. Heck he even promised to make sure all rich people get adequate health care without it costing them a dime! Now if that doesn't arouse Republicans I don't know what will.

Obama's tone and presence even felt presidential, possibly for the first time since he took office. Not that this stopped South Carolina Congressman Joe Wilson from forgetting his Southern manners when he blurted out, "You lie!" while the President was attempting to debunk some of the pigeon brain lies that Republicans have been trying to sell week minded Americans on since the debate began. The remark was luckily not made over the supposed death panels, which would have made this disposable congressman look like even more of an idiot, but rather it was over Obama's assertion that illegal immigrants, Mexicans to the Republicans, will not be provided with free health care.

Oh no! I don't want to pay for Pedro, who already took my job, to get health care. How in the heavens will we stop Pedro from getting health care and then taking over our country if we intend to provide all hard working Americans, young or old, rich or poor, regardless of color, health care.

Well it is really quite simple Senor Wilson, you force people, just like in Medicare and Medicaid, to prove they are American citizens. Of course if you are a "Birther" I guess you already believe this will be easy, since your president, who according to Birthers was born in Kenya, was able to falsify documents to fool the federal government into letting him run for president, so how hard could it be for any other illegal immigrant to fool insurance companies into providing them with health care. If you are a sane American, like I believe most of us to be, you realize that since you have been asked to show proof of citizenship your whole life for jobs, school and heck even activities like little league, why would this be any different when it comes to health care.

Of course, Joe "You lie" Wilson was not the only idiot in the crowd. A number of other Republicans, or should we just start referring to them as idiots or pig f#%kers, what ever you prefer, held up stacks of paper that "supposedly" represented ideas they had for the bill. I know, I know, I thought it was funny too that Republicans actually thought they had an original idea, but it is nice to let them fantasize about such things - it makes them feel all grown up.

Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas also made a little protest of his own by holding up a sign that read "What Bill?" Luckily Gohmert and the rest of Texas will not have to worry about affordable health care once Texas secedes from the Union. Yee haw!

But getting away from the childish finger pointing and back to the real issue of health care reform, Obama did not give up on the public option, which is intended to create a government run insurance program for those who cannot afford to buy insurance from a private company. In my mind if we are going to force people to have health care, without the single-payer option, which would provide all of us with government run health care like in Canada, then we need to provide people with an affordable option. Because while President Obama talked about lowering health care costs, I still think he missed the point in terms of how we are going to convince these companies to actually lower their prices. The reason for all of our health care problems is not just the care itself, but the cost of the care. Obama argues it will create competition, but I argue, like most Democrats, that this will not be enough, because, in my opinion, they will just lobby one another, like every other industry, to make sure no one gets priced out of the market and to ensure they all maximize their profits. Then people like me, who can't afford health care on top of school loans and other bills, will be forced to pay out-our-asses for health care.

Since the speech, conservative Democrats, who met with Obama yesterday, said the president seemed as if he would be willing to bend on the public option. Well I hate to say it but without the public option, President Obama, you will be a failure! I know, I know, things like making it illegal to deny someone health care because of a pre-existing condition and not providing operations because your insurance doesn’t cover it will be eliminated from the debate. But affordable health care will be lost. And in the end isn't that what this is all about, money! I mean how can we expect to save the money we intend to save through a government run health care system if there is no government run health care in the bill.

There are to many Americans, and surely we all know at least one, who have been denied health care or denied an operation because their insurance company dropped them or wouldn't cover their surgery. There are to many Americans who go bankrupt and lose their homes everyday just to keep their parents, children, or their significant other alive because of the ruthless insurance companies, who have decided they are just not rich enough.

My friends, lack of affordable health care is not only costing Americans to lose their lives and live in fear of waking up one morning to find they have a disease like cancer with no way to treat it, but it is also costing them to lose their homes, jobs and everything else they worked so hard for in their lives. These Americans are not illegal immigrants, they are people who work as hard or harder than most average Americans do. So to morally deny health care to millions of Americans because you fear illegal immigrants from obtaining it or insurance companies going under due to their own sadistic business practices that have cost million of lives, is not only inhumane, it is in my mind un-American.

For we are the nation who has always been there for one another when we needed it most. Now if only are government could return the favor, not for political gain, but because it is morally the right thing to do.

Obamaducation and the brainwashing of our children's minds

If President Barack Obama's insistence on turning America into a socialistic state hasn't been horrifying enough for American adults, now the president is trying to push his Hitler-esque political agenda on future generations of Americans after he delivered a left-wing, communist speech to students across the nation on Tuesday.

Luckily, Republicans have been the one lone voice at trying to stop this crazed president from ruining America with his leftist political views once and for all. The newest outrage that came out of the Republican camp this week was over President Obama's speech he presented to students across the nation, or at least most of the students across the nation. I know, I know, how dare the President of the United States speak to our children about staying in school and achieving their dreams. I was as appalled by it as you were when I first heard the news concerning the speech. I mean Ronald Regan, George H. W. Bush or George W. Bush would never think of doing such a thing. Oh wait, they did? But they couldn't have talked policy like Obama had planned to do before a few good Americans, or should I say Republicans, swooped in to stop him. Oh wait, they did?

How could this be. I could have sworn that the Republicans were some of the most honest, forthright people in America today. I just felt terrible when that nice, shriveled up old man, Sen. John McCain, lost to that scary looking black fella with the name that sounds like a terrorist. I mean they have always done and supported what is right for Americans, rich or poor, black or white. I mean how could we forget the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that have liberated us from the clutches of terrorism and made great men like Dick Cheney even richer through no-bid contracts. Or the passing of the Patriot Act, which gave our government the right to wiretap every Americans phone and subsequently led to some of the most important arrests in the war on terror, including Martha Stewart.

Oh if these people weren't delivered to us by the graces of God than I just don't know who was. It certainly wasn't that Jesus fella because he believed in things like trust, love and forgiveness. I bet when Jesus said, "You have heard the law that says the punishment must match the injury: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say, do not resist an evil person! If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also. If you are sued in court and your shirt is taken from you, give your coat, too," he had never met the likes of Osama Bin Laden or any other Muslim Terrorist for that matter. Thank god Jesus was never president or we would all be dead!

But we are not hear to discuss that hippie, tree-hugging Jesus fella. We are hear to talk about why we cannot let this African, I mean Democratic president ruin our children's minds like he has done to all those sick freaks that voted for him.

I mean can you believe the things that Osama, I mean Obama, told our children the other day. He said, and I quote, "Now I know it’s not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork. I get it. I know what that’s like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn’t fit in."

"So I wasn’t always as focused as I should have been. I did some things I’m not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse. But I was fortunate. I got a lot of second chances and had the opportunity to go to college, and law school, and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn’t have much. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country."

I mean what does this have to do with inspiring America's youth? They don't want to hear about how you, Mr. President, sucked in school. How you had crappy parents and your wife did too. Once again, what does any of this have to do with inspiring school children?

After some digging I did find it to be true that President Bush had spoken to kids about doing good in school. Here is what a real president with no political agenda had to say, "Any attempt to roll back the accountability in Washington D.C. (Speaking on No Child Left Behind). I'll fight any attempt to do that, I am just not going to let it happen."

Now that is how you speak to children. Clear, articulate and without any agenda. You don't go and say things like, "We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that – if you quit on school – you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country."

This kind of talk does not inspire children. Instead it is just a bunch of subliminal, liberal bull-shit aimed at fooling us adults into believing he is not talking about policy, while turning our children into a bunch of little left-wing brainwashed freaks. We cannot stand for this. We must stand against such speech, if not as parents, as good, honest, conservative, gun touting Americans.

Now if you want to fight back against such speech by swines like Obama then I advise all of you parents out there to do what the good people in the Arlington, Texas School District did and just ban the speech, and take the children on a field trip to see George W. Bush speak at Dallas Stadium on Sept. 21. That is the only way we can assure what happened to our generation will not happen to future generations.

America is dead! Long live America!
