Is Obama facilitating change or forcing it? Here’s today’s quote.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. ~ William Pitt
In our recent political history, this might be applied to some of the actions of GW Bush, such as the war on Iraq, wiretapping, suspending habeas corpus for Gitmo detainees, etc.
It could also be applied to the Obama Administration, in the way that they forced through their various enormous spending bills, as well as their upcoming “carbon offsets” (a.k.a as ‘cap and trade’) legislation. Trust me, it will be urgent and necessary.
As we have seen in the Obama administration, you don’t need time to read or openly debate legislation, you just need time to manipulate a majority vote.

As is often the case with controversies surrounding politicians, much of the rhetoric on Rep. Mark Souder’s affair with a staffer has been divided politically. As I have stated on numerous occasions, hypocrisy makes it worse on these type of issues for conservative Republicans, especially those who claim to be committed Christians.

My uncle sends me a lot of conservative ‘spam,’ and some of it is interesting stuff. Here’s the latest. I wonder what these posters would look like if they focused on our modern enemy, ‘militant’ Islam?

Republicans and conservatives are often accused of holding President Obama to an impossible standard and simply criticizing him for every decision he makes. It is not surprising that the GOP is opposed to many of the policy proposals of the president (similar to the Democrat’s response to Bush), however when Obama accomplishes something in the War on Terror he deserves credit for that progress.

One of the repeated political strategies of the Obama administration has be to blame any of the current problems facing our nation on his predecessor (some of it correctly, some of it debatable, some it incorrectly).
Recently however, Vice President Biden signaled that they were going to take responsibility for one of the more important political developments — the success of the war in Iraq.

1. Government Health Care Takeover.
The Senate debate of health care is now underway. Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid wants a vote to take place before Christmas. Strongly
urge your two Senators to oppose this bill at 202–224-3121. Send “Pink Slips” to all of them (as well as each Congressman) here.
2. Copenhagen Climate Change Conference. There
is great concern that the U.S. will enter into some type of agreement
when world leaders meet in Denmark for a global climate change
conference that starts on Monday.
This treaty would be devastating to our economy and sovereignty. The
U.S. could also be asked to contribute billions of dollars toward
implementing this. Call the White House at 202–456-1414 and your two Senators at 202–224-3121 to express opposition to this treaty. A number of large companies, including Coca-Cola, are supporting the treaty efforts.. Call them, and strongly urge them to withdraw their support for Copenhagen.
3. Energy Tax Bill.
It’s appearing less and less likely that a “cap-and-trade” bill will
pass this year, but we must not become complacent about it. It has
already passed by the House and sub-committees in the Senate. Continue
to ask your Senators to oppose this bill at 202–224-3121. Contact the companies
supporting this and consider boycotting them, including BP America,
Chrysler, Coca-Cola, Ford, General Motors, Johnson & Johnson, Nike,
and Pepsi.
4. Safe School Czar. Kevin Jennings, the homosexual activist who was recently chosen by the
President to run the Office of Safe & Drug Free Schools. Call your
Congressman at 202–224-3121 to ask Congress to expel Jennings. Then,
send letters to the President and your Congressional leaders through
expeljennings.org
I subsribe to way more blogs than I read. I wanted to pare down my political blogs to just the few that would help me take action against the alarming initiatives of the Obama administration. Here’s my latest list.

Freedomworks.com is now taking pre-orders for it’s nice poster commemorating the ‘historic’ anti-big-government march on Washington D.C. this month.
“The people are our only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.” Thomas Jefferson
Many conservatives ridiculed some Obama supporters for their seemingly religious devotion to a politician. Some conservatives also expressed concern (at least) over the President’s speech to school children. The Left has defended themselves against such attacks by maintaining that no one really worshiped Obama and several other presidents gave similar speeches to school children.
While it could not be argued that everyone on the left fits those stereotypes, it has to be acknowledged that they are stereotypes for a reason. The reason? This and this.
