Obama on the Pantybomber

"This was a screw up that could have been disastrous," the president said during a meeting in the White House situation room, according to the White House media office. "We dodged a bullet but just barely. It was averted by brave individuals not because the system worked and that is not acceptable. While there will be a tendency for finger pointing, I will not tolerate it."

First of all, he "will not tolerate" any "finger-pointing" but he’s pointed out that it was an intelligence failure, which means he himself is pointing fingers at the CIA. Sure, the CIA fucked up, but what’s wrong with the rest of us saying so? The idiot makes no sense.

Secondly, like all liberals, he has again expressed his over-reliance and faith in a "system" rather than individuals. Liberals believe we need a new health care "system" because they don’t think individuals should be responsible for their own choices. We need security "systems" rather than creatively thinking people with good judgment. We need global "systems" of governance to control what people make and emit and buy and sell and build and burn. The strengths and abilities and God-given capacity for reason are more effective, but less governable, and therefore their exercise, even in positive ways, isn’t as desirable as a top-down infrastructure operated by ivy-league intellectuals and one-worlders.

The amazing part is that not once in human history has a centrally-controlled oligarchy produced a society based on freedom, prosperity and personal property. And yet this kind of intellectual, elitist arrogance persists.

On December 17th, 2009, President Obama issued an executive order that effectively exempted Interpol, the International Criminal Police Organization, from Constitutional limitations. The "property and assets" of Interpol are now "immune from search" and confiscation, and its archives "inviolable."

What does this mean? "This international law enforcement body now operates – now operates – on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests."

For an added and disturbing wrinkle, INTERPOL’s central operations office in the United States is within our own Justice Department offices. They are American law enforcement officers working under the aegis of INTERPOL within our own Justice Department. That they now operate with full diplomatic immunity and with "inviolable archives" from within our own buildings should send red flags soaring into the clouds.

One might respond to such a thing with phrases along the lines of "Holy Shit."

The linked article goes on to suggest that this is a precursor to returning the United States to the status of signatory to the International Criminal Court, probably with the purpose of allowing foreign governments to prosecute American citizens for war crimes. That’s a travesty in itself. It would subvert American sovereignty to a world government, which seems to be one of Barack Obama’s end-games. But the directly disturbing (if not terrifying) part is that the Justice Department is apparently operating side-by-side with these international bodies already, and has already figured out how to operate outside its Constitutional limits.

Some of us wonder if it’s possible that we’ll wake up one day and America-as-we-know-it will be gone. I think it’s more accurate to say it’s already gone. The framework for flipping the switch seems to be pretty much in place: a rubber-stamp Congress; international super-constitutional police forces; control of health care, industry, and financial systems; Marxist control by labor unions of the education system and the low-skilled work force; overextended military focused on wars overseas. A financial regulatory system that awards the wealthy and privileged at the expense of the lesser 99%.

I don’t know what there is that could stop it at this point.

LOL

Interrupting his year-end vacation to speak about the Christmas day terrorist attempt aboard a Northwest Airlines flight, President Obama tried to reassure the nation that his administration would do all that it can to bring the terror plotters to justice and to ensure the safety of the American people.

“We will not rest until we find all who were involved and hold them accountable,” said the President.

Obama then resumed his Hawaii vacation activities.

Yes, these are ornaments on an actual White House Christmas tree

"In the long run we can’t continue to spend as if deficits don’t have consequences, as if waste doesn’t matter, as if the hard earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like monopoly money, that’s what we’ve seen time and time again, Washington has become more concerned about the next election than the next generation." – Barack Hussein Obama

You don’t like how spending money is political? You mean like how you need to get health care passed through the Senate by Christmas so that you can sign it in time for the State of the Union?

I mean, seriously, Barr, you’ve quadrupled the deficit in the last year. You’ve expanded TARP and demanded we pass a stimulus that didn’t do what you said it would. The fed had to create money out of nothing to pay for it, and you’re concerned about politicizing the budget? And this while you praise the Senate for using taxpayer money to buy the 60 votes you need to enact an illegal and immoral tyranny over the entire economy?

I don’t think so.
