Today there is a great post up on The Conservatives by our own Brian Faughnan displaying the absolute lack of compassion and downright cruelty of Barack Obama and his Administration.

The process will get more difficult for those who lost loved ones: Mohammed will attack and denigrate the victims. He will express pride in what he has done. Jihadists around the world will pay him tribute. The foreign and domestic press will dissect every step of the process. And in Manhattan, security will mount, and the alert level will rise, and New Yorkers will undoubtedly read that our intelligence agencies are facing more and more credible threats against the City. This will go on for years.

Even if Mohammed is eventually convicted and executed - by no means a slam dunk - could that result possibly be worth the pain?

What sort of man could fail to take into account the pain he is likely to cause for the 9/11 families, and for the people of New York?

Brian goes on to list a few bits of evidence as to what sort of man could do such a thing. Earlier today I came across another article that provided further evidence. While being greeted by our military members on Osan Air Base in South Korea the President quipped:

You guys make a pretty good photo op

While Obama was taking a bow on his Asian Apology Tour, Quinnipiac released a new poll in which the President’s ratings also took a bow, h/t Ed Morrisey at Hot Air.

Obama’s job approval rating fell to 48 percent in the Nov. 9-16 survey of registered voters nationwide by the Hamden, Connecticut-based university, with 42 percent polled saying they disapproved of the job he is doing.

The Quinnipiac Poll also showed a drop in approval of the Presidents handling of the war in Afghanistan. Voters now “disapprove 49 - 38 percent of the President’s handling of the war there”. In October that number read 42 - 40 percent approval.

Now, don’t misread this as support for the war effort losing steam.

While perusing Drudge after a long day at work I saw a link quoting VP Cheney, so naturally I clicked it. I didn’t really find much in the story that was useful, but then I came across this gem of a quote by some anonymous staffer:

“The president sees it as a chance to present our points and advance our interests, and you’re not conceding anything,” the official said. “What’s more powerful that the president of the United States making these points to your face?”

That, is an excellent question. What is more powerful than the President of the United States making his case, not his country’s, directly to your face?

Below the fold I shall show you.

As thousands of conservative activists descend on Washington’s Mall to protest the government takeover of 1/6 of our economy, another protest on the public option ensued [video linked*].

Nearly a score of Marxist protesters filled** the office of Sen. Lieberman, chanting “Everyone in and no one out, universal healthcare now!” and “Represent Connecticut, not AETNA!”. That is, until they were arrested.

I wonder if someone will chastise these protesters for their blatant partisanship and urge to purge the independent Senator from the Democratic Caucus. I won’t hold my breath, lest I die of asphyxiation.

I will just note that when you have lost the cover of one of your best attack dogs from the last election cycle, you might be doing something wrong. Also, it’s not that we think Obama will change America into Nazi Germany, it’s that he might change America into what immediately preceded Nazi Germany.

Come, sit by the campfire while I tell you a story.

September 2000 I left the U.S. Army confident that Al Gore would be the next President of the United States of America. The next year passed quickly as I scrambled to find my place in civilian life. On Sept. 11th I was driving to work and heard the news. Thus began a fixation on current events that I have yet to shake.

The next spring I quit my job and took a contract in Kosovo as a Systems Administrator. I spent roughly two years living and working in Kosovo. In between trouble tickets, I diligently clicked refresh on Drudgereport, which I had only recently discovered. Once I returned to U.S. soil I began to notice that the country had changed while I was away. Drudge, despite his best efforts, had failed to clue me in to the degree of animosity that was bubbling up from the fairly new fever swamps we are now all so familiar with.

I was a foreigner in my own land.

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
All inside its so frustrating as I drift from town to town
Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
So I might as well begin to put some action in my life

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

So much for the golden future, I cant even start
Ive had every promise broken, theres anger in my heart
You dont know what its like, you dont have a clue
If you did youd find yourselves doing the same thing too**

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

You dont know what its like

Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

The crew over at Big Hollywood and Big Goverment continued the fight today.

Further exposing the incestuous nature of the modern Progressive Left in America, John Nolte details the soon to be infamous conference call between the White House Office of Public Engagement, the NEA’s Communications Director, Serve.gov Director of Outreach, and a list of hand picked artists/trend setters/just plain “cool” people.

In it he paints a picture of the not so subtle desire of the Obama Administration to have a PR hit squad that even Joseph Goebbels would be proud of.

All evidence points to the fact that the conference call was a ruse, a front for a White House using Skolnik as a kind of beard in order to put an innocent spin on their abuse of the NEA and two non-partisan volunteer organizations (United We Serve – an initiative overseen by The Corporation for National and Community Service – a federal agency, and the White House’ Office of Public Engagement).

The goal: To motivate a group of hand-picked pro-Obama artists (grant recipients or those wanting grants) to push the President’s flagging agenda, especially health care — and to funnel this promotion through the ACORN related- Serve.gov website.

I am not a lawyer and certainly won’t attempt to debate the illegality of this call and the greater relationship that exists. There are others who have already done that and come to the conclusion that “laws were broken”…

All of this – particularly the government-sponsored conference call itself – is in blatant violation of the Anti-Lobbying Act (19 U.S. Code §1913), which explicitly provides: “No part of the money appropriated by any enactment of Congress shall, in the absence of express authorization by Congress, be used directly or indirectly to pay for any personal service, advertisement, telegram, telephone, letter, printed or written matter, or other device, intended or designed to influence in any manner a Member of Congress, a jurisdiction, or an official of any government, to favor, adopt, or oppose by vote or otherwise, any legislation, law, ratification, policy, or appropriation, whether before or after the introduction of any bill, measure or resolution proposing such legislation, law, ratification, policy or appropriation …”

[snip...]

Violation of the Anti-Lobbying Act carries punishment: “Any person who makes an expenditure … shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each such expenditure.” And that’s not all: “An imposition of a civil penalty under this subsection does not prevent the United States from seeking any other remedy that the United States may have for the same conduct that is the basis for the imposition of such civil penalty.” In other words, criminal prosecution is available here.

Who am I to disagree. ;^)

I wonder if any of this will be covered by ABC, CBS, NBC, MSDNC, CNN, or any of those soon to be subsidized birdcage liners Bambi is thinking he like to buy and manipulate.

Our planet has contracted a virus worse than H1N1, worse than the plague, even worse than Global Warming or the more flexible Climate Change. Our planet has contracted a bad case of stupidity, and it’s going to get us all killed*.

For years we have heard that Global warming is going to drown us all as the glaciers melt and the seas rise. For years we have been told that we are the problem. We have been told that CO2 emissions are the culprit. Our cars are too big, they put out too much CO2. They are killing the planet.

Really?

Well the IPCC and Owl Gore would love us to believe that. Thing is…it just ain’t true.

The hockey stick graph has been debunked, 10-12 years of Global temperature drops have proven it to be a false prediction. The computer models have failed.

The revelation of these facts will not deter those who are committed to the Church of Climate Change. No. The true believers are gathering, as we speak, to perform a concert for Climate Change.

55 Superstars, entourage in tow, plan to sing in order to stop Climate Change.

So, let me get this straight. In order to “save the planet” these idiots want to have approx 51000** people travel on private jets, commercial flights, cars, buses and many other modes of CO2 spewing transportation in order to watch 55 bands spew even more CO2 from their mouths while listening to songs not seen on the top 40 since Global Cooling was a big deal.

Let me be the first to say….GREEN FAIL
