The Foundation
"To say that the United States should be answerable for twenty-five millions of dollars without knowing whether the ways and means can be provided, and without knowing whether those who are to succeed us will think with us on the subject, would be rash and unjustifiable." --James Madison
Obama's spending "freeze" is just another gameEditorial Exegesis
"[Barack] Obama's touted spending freeze for some domestic agencies is the politics of gesture. It would apply to only 17% of the budget, and these programs have already had a 22% increase in their annual appropriations in the past two years, and another 25% increase including stimulus. As for the deficit, CBO shows that over the first three years of the Obama Presidency, 2009-2011, the federal government will borrow an estimated $3.7 trillion. That is more than the entire accumulated national debt for the first 225 years of U.S. history. By 2019, the interest payments on this debt will be larger than the budget for education, roads and all other nondefense discretionary spending. If this borrowing were financing defense investments or tax rate reductions to spur the U.S. economy, we wouldn't be worried. But most of this money is going to transfer payments to individuals, or subsidies to home buyers and inefficient businesses that do little for wealth creation. As it always does, CBO forecasts that deficits will decline in the later years of its 10-year budget window. But this forecast depends on assumptions about Congress so fanciful that James Cameron couldn't make them up. ... If the President and his party really are serious, they can do more than promise a spending freeze after 2012. They can stop spending more now: Drop the health-care bill, cancel the unspent stimulus spending from last year, kill the $150 billion new stimulus that has already passed the House, and bar all repaid bailout cash from being re-spent. Everything else is marketing." --The Wall Street Journal
Upright
"The problem is not the 'crises' Obama inherited. It's the ones he's creating. He has lived in such a socialist policy shell all his life that he doesn't have a clue that he's on a different planet than most of us. If he were just slightly less narcissistic, he might be able to figure this out. But ... no matter what adjustments he promises to make following the Boston Massacre, he still intends to govern like a socialist. He only wants to do a better job of figuring out how to do it less visibly, hoping we won't 'get it' before it's too late." --columnist David Limbaugh
"An across-the-board tax cut is the fairest pro-growth message of them all. Lower tax rates for everybody. Get out of the box of rich people and class warfare. ... Republicans must now be bold and fight for across-the-board tax relief, for families, individuals and businesses, along with smaller government, fewer services and across-the-board spending cuts." --economist Larry Kudlow
"The President could wait months before deciding to give a general the troops he asked for to fight the war in Afghanistan but there was never to be enough time for the health care bill to be exposed in the light of day to the usual Congressional hearings and debate. Moreover, despite all the haste, the health care program would not actually go into effect until after the 2012 presidential election. In other words, the public was not supposed to find out whether the government's takeover of medical care actually made things better or worse until after it was too late." --economist Thomas Sowell
"The result in Massachusetts last Tuesday showed that for yet another segment of the population which has had the opportunity to express itself at the ballot box, Obama's policies have diminished from a lack of resonance to active dissonance. Obama can tinker with the political shop all he wants, but to misquote my neighbor James Carville: It's the policies, stupid." --political analyst Rich Galen
"As even Massachusetts demonstrated ... most Americans believe Americans know how to solve their problems through initiative, limited government and hard work, not through the nanny state." --American Spectator editor R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.
"There is a simple way to get corporate money out of politics: get the government out of our lives and economic affairs. If government has no favors to sell, no one will spend money trying to win them." --columnist John Stossel
Dezinformatsia
Head in the sand: "Last spring, the polls said people wanted health care reform. They even wanted the public option. ... One third of that majority is on a government health program. I'm on Medicare. People who've been in the military are on a government health program. And yet the Republicans were able the make the idea that being on a government health program is terrible. How absurd." --retired ABC newsman Sam Donaldson
Surely, you can't be serious: "Instead of loudly fighting back, the president tried to bring Republicans into the fold, and it backfired.... On health care reform, instead of telling Americans exactly what he wanted in a health care bill, President Obama left it up to lawmakers. Republicans used the president's strategy to create fear and confusion among voters." --CNN's Carol Costello
We can hope: "Do you think maybe one term is enough?" --ABC's Diane Sawyer to Barack Obama (No, it's one term too many.)
Elitism: "Absolutely amazing poll results from CNN today about the $787 stimulus package: nearly three out of four Americans think the money has been wasted. On second thought, they may be right: it's been wasted on them. ... This is yet further evidence that Americans are flagrantly ill-informed ... and, for those watching Fox News, misinformed." --Time mag's Joe Klein
Non Compos Mentis: "This is a Supreme Court-sanctioned murder of what little actual democracy is left in this democracy. It is government of the people by the corporations for the corporations. It is the Dark Ages. It is our Dred Scott. ... Be prepared, then, for the ban on same-sex marriage, on abortion, on evolution, on separation of church and state ... for racial and religious profiling, because you've got to blame somebody for all the reductions in domestic spending and civil liberties, just to make sure the agitators against the United Corporate States of America are kept unheard." --MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, hosting his show funded by a giant media corporation, yet reviling the Supreme Court's ruling that corporations have a free speech right to participate in elections

The Demo-gogues
Pride goes before a fall: "Well, the big difference here and in '94 was you've got me." --Barack Obama, reportedly reassuring Rep. Marion Berry (D-AR), who is now retiring rather than face voters again
Such humility: "I'd probably say I make a mistake a day, maybe two." --Barack Obama
Editor's Note: In a speech about "jobs," Obama refers to tax cuts twice, small business eight times ... and himself 132 times. See the video. Also, don't miss the new and improved Barack Bingo card for the State of the Union Address tonight.
Is she kidding? "The jobs issue has permeated everything, [every] major initiative that we have. With the recovery package, we not only created jobs -- about 2 million saved or created with more being rolled out -- but pulled us back from the brink of even deeper recession. In [Obama's] budget, which we passed 100 days after his swearing-in, he had a blueprint for how we go into the future, create jobs, stabilize the economy [and] do so as we reduce the deficit -- [it's] very central to everything we do -- reduce the deficit." --House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who contributed to nearly quadrupling the deficit in Obama's first year
Nanny state -- because you can't make it on your own: "[The] proposals by the Obama administration to strengthen the middle class underscore the work of Congress to put the American dream within reach for millions of families. ... The House will continue to partner with the Obama administration to strengthen our middle class and put our nation's families on a path to prosperity." --Nancy Pelosi (We'd appreciate it if you stopped trying to "help" us.)
Goals: "I'd rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president." --Barack Obama (We'd love to help with the one-term part.)
Them's fightin' words: "It's going to be a fight. You watch. I guarantee you, when we start on financial regulatory reform, trying to change the rules to prevent what has caused so much heartache all across the country, there are people who are going to say, 'Why is he meddling in government' or 'Why is he meddling in the financial industry? It's another example of Obama being big government.' No, I just want to have some rules in place so that when these guys make dumb decisions, you don't end up having to foot the bill. That's pretty straightforward. I don't mind having a fight." --Barack "Big Government" Obama on his heavy handed regulation of the financial industry

Village Idiots
Talking point screw-up: "[T]he Recovery Act the president passed has created more than -- or saved more than 2 million jobs." --White House adviser David Axelrod on Sunday
"The Recovery Act saved thousands and thousands of jobs." --White House adviser Valerie Jarrett, also on Sunday
"Just last quarter, we finally saw the first positive economic job growth in more than a year, largely as a result of the recovery plan that's put money back into our economy, that saved or created 1.5 million jobs." --White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, again on Sunday
Think what you like: "I think the American people want health care reform.... [They] really do want us to do something about this." --former DNC Chief Howard Dean
Leftist "tolerance": "Just as we do not tolerate private racial beliefs that adversely affect African-Americans in the commercial arena, even if such beliefs are based on religious views, we should similarly not tolerate private beliefs about sexual orientation and gender identity that adversely affect LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender] people." --Chai Feldblum, an openly lesbian Law Professor at Georgetown University and Obama's nominee for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, in a legal journal in 2006
Blame game: "Democrats would not be playing the blame game with one another for the loss or for the health care debacle if they had only pointed fingers at those (or in this case, the one) who put Americans (and most of the world) in the predicament we're in: George W. Bush." --Clintonista James Carville
Short Cuts
"Some conservative Beltway analysts are cheering Obama's fiscal freeze follies as a step in the right direction, a rhetorical victory and a 'good start.' Pardon me for not joining in the standing ovation for the latest performance of White House kabuki theater. Praising the president for carrying on the charade of budget reform because a few piddling cuts are real is like complimenting the Naked Emperor's fingernails: So he didn't have any clothes. At least his cuticles were real. It's a start!" --columnist Michelle Malkin
"At best, the administration's spending-freeze proposal is akin to going on a monthlong binge in Vegas and then sleeping off the hangover." --Cato Institute senior fellow Dan Mitchell
"Once again, the people have spoken, and this time they quoted what Dick Cheney said to Pat Leahy. Less than two weeks ago, The New York Times said that so much as a 'tighter-than-expected' victory for Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Martha Coakley would incite 'soul-searching among Democrats nationally,' which sent Times readers scurrying to their dictionaries to look up this strange new word, 'soul.'" --columnist Ann Coulter
"ABC News found that Trijicon, which makes rifle scopes for the military, stamps references to Bible verses on its equipment. The defense contractor subsequently announced that it will voluntarily stop stamping these references on combat rifle sights. These sights are used in Iraq and Afghanistan -- sometimes to train Muslims, sometimes to shoot them. According to ABC News, this is very important. If a Muslim were to see this code on the side of a rifle and then look up the verse in one of the many Bibles you can easily find in Muslim countries, then that Muslim might become indoctrinated with Christianity and then ... chaos or something. Or maybe we just worry that the mere knowledge of a reference to the Bible in those countries will cause all Muslims in the Middle East to panic and randomly shoot each other in the faces...." --columnist Frank J. Fleming

re: Upright, (David Limbaugh)
..."He only wants to do a better job of figuring out how to do it less visibly, hoping we won't 'get it' before it's too late..."
Mr Obama is convinced that we're all pretty stupid. God help us, he has a point. Look at the number of people (a) actually voted for him, and (b) actually still can't figure out what he's trying to do. And as for the rest of us, we continue to sit and watch this sabotage unfold...even after what happened in Mass., he thinks the answer is simply to double down. It bears saying twice: God help us.

Reading about the "2 million jobs saved or created," I am feverishly searching for just ONE of those jobs. You see, one of the ones NOT saved was mine. I was just laid off from my position of training soldiers at an Army post due to an unanticipated 42% reduction in the installation's budget.
The rhetoric coming from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave reminds me of the tripe published by Josef Goebbels in his campaign to convince the world that all Hitler's Germany wanted was lebensraum. The One and his puppet cronies in the media attack, belittle, and marginalize concerned Americans, making them to seem hysterical, racist, and misinformed, especially by Fox News--one agency that tries to get it right.
Again, again, and again I suggest a flat tax. If 10% is good enough for God, it's good enough for Caesar. Stop deficit spending, save money and save America.
Thanks for all the good work, Patriot Post. Keep Up the Fire! (Combat motto of the 9th Infantry Regiment)

Regarding Fox News misinformation.
In the January 22-24, 2010, USA WEEKEND, Tavis Smiley said that for a few days in early December he shadowed Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, and he listed 5 things that struck him as he spent time with her.
One of the stunning things was that the TV in the media holding area at Andrews Air Force Base was tuned to Fox News, and doubly stunning was finding that the TVs on her plane were also tuned to Fox News. He ended with "Talk about things that make you go hmm...."
Are we to assume that Hillary wishes to be misinformed?
[Under the heading, "Little big things matter," he commented how impressed he was that Hillary, on Capitol Hill to testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, saw Bertie Bowman, hearing coordinator for the Committee, and despite her harried day, she remembered that his wife had recently died of cancer, and "gently" asked him how he was holding up. She promised that she would have expressions of sympathy sent from the president and vice president. Won't Mr. Bowman be pleased when those two, or their staffs, surprise him with their condolences notes?]

Touched upon in a few areas of this PatriotPost is the concept of whether or not the American people are smart enough to manage our own affairs, whether we're smart enough to make the tough decisions needed to make a good destiny. I get ill whenever I hear or read this. It really bugs me.
Folks, whether we're smart enough is irrelavent. Our Founders were smart enough to know that the only way for human cultures to prosper is to NOT be ruled. This is why our government is of, by, and for the people. This is why we are governed rather than ruled over.
It is not Obama's place, or Pelosi's place, or Reid's place to decide whether or not the people are smart enough to make any given decision(s). In fact, it is the ultimate in offensive hubris for them to persistently dictate policy as they do.
And it's not the media's place to judge our the people's competency either. No one and no group has that right or authority.
Americans could decide to live as pigs in a mudhole if we wanted and the only input the three stooges I mentioned above should have in the matter is to follow our directions about how our mudhole is to be constructed.

If someone wants us to come in and help them win their freedom with our personnel and equipment, they should not dictate to us how we are to do it. If they want us to lay down the lives of our best and brightest for their freedom, let them accept the Bible references on our rifles or we can pack up, go home and let them fight their own war by themselves! Those verses were put there, as I understand it, as a blessing of protection for those who were to use the rifles. If you don't believe in it, just ignore it and go on. The verses weren't printed out, just the reference placed as a part of the id number. Get over it!

It occured to me today that maybe the reason B Obama can't seem to relate to the average WORKING American is he's never had to really LABOR to get what he wanted. My parents instilled early in my upbringing that if I wanted anything other than what they provided (not the government), I had to earn it on my own. No one was going to GIVE me something just because I felt I was entitled to it. How much "entitilement" did Obama's family (Aunt, Grandparents, Mother, etc) depend on rather getting out and earning a living?

Yesterday, I was listen or reading some news about Hussein was so alone, because he couldn't go to "a barber shop or restaurant like he used to." or words to that affect. Like he doesn't like all the "publicity associated with the Office".
No, I don't think he's disillusioned with the "publicity of the office" I think what has happened is that "He can't take the heat and wants out of the kitchen". That, of course, was the suggestion of President Truman, Democrat in the late "40's. Maybe, he'll take this "old timers' advise" and resign.
Just a facetious Speculation, but it would answer his "dilemma" of "being so alone at the top".

As to the stamping of religious verses or related references on weapons, we learned it from Muslims. I draw your attention to a classic work on oriental weapons, accessible through google books. A search on the word "koran" yields interesting results.

Perhaps most distressing when considering the outrageous comments by the President & frothing at the mouth liberals, is that they demand we do as they say to save us, when even they do not believe their way will save us.
The 'in your face' attitude of this President, this administration, the congressional majority, leftist activists, & pundits of the faltering liberal media, that we must "go on" with these crazy plans, represents an act of insanity.
In many ways, President Bush screwed up w/ our finances over his eight years. However, that President Obama is trying to outdo those screw ups by a factor of three in the first year of office, represents an act of insanity.
Pressing the issue of health care reform when its real intention is to eliminate what we have & create a whole new bureaucratic system of, by, & for the government, represents an act of insanity.
This is not to mention the dozens of other acts of insanity he has attempted to push on us.
Maybe its me, but I ask any & all, do these actions represent the actions of a sane man?

So what if Trijicon wants to place Bible verses on their extremely effective sights? If some group of liberals in the government is offended, so be it!
Just one more example of the persecution of Christians!!!
Maybe, just maybe if more Christian doctrine is sent to the Middle East in these kinds of subtle ways, we'd have less violence and even less of a reason to be there.

With regard to "discovering" Trijicon has engraved Bible references on their sights, one has to wonder how an athiest could find harm in the reference to something believed to be no more than a fairy tale, and I wonder if those same atheists would be offended if they found a major contractor for some small item used by the government, was engraved with references to Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
There is an equality here which would certainly produce a dichotomy of reaction, yet there can be no denial of the facts as stated.
Some of us used to be "atheists" until we were exposed to some of the reason and logic of Christianity, and had the experience of being an American in the midst of a world that has singled out Christianity and Judaism as its enemy, trying to defend the lives of those who believe we are so evil. The silliness of the issue over Trijicon amazes me, and makes me wonder how one can be a secular humanist, and be capable of reasoned, rational thought. I was proud and happy to be "from" a Christian Nation even as an athiest, because the principles espoused by Christians were the exact principles my parents taught us, as athiests, as the only rational rules that can lead to a free society, and Sovereign Citizens living in freedom.

If a Muslim were to see this code on the side of a rifle and then look up the verse in one of the many Bibles you can easily find in Muslim countries, then that Muslim might become indoctrinated with Christianity and then ... chaos or something. Or maybe we just worry that the mere knowledge of a reference to the Bible in those countries will cause all Muslims in the Middle East to panic and randomly shoot each other in the faces...." Sounds like one hell of a plan to me!

"Just last quarter, we finally saw the first positive economic job growth in more than a year, largely as a result of the recovery plan that's put money back into our economy, that saved or created 1.5 million jobs." --White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, again on Sunday
This guy obviously has no concept of economics. Money is the measure of the value of work - one person's work is superior to another's, and receives more money; another person's work is more required at a certain time, and so has greater value for that time.
Government cannot add more money without actually DEVALUING the work of those who do that work. This is because, in the end, all economies are closed systems. They may be cross-contaminated in essence, but they are dependent upon elements and forces that never leave their sphere of influence.
The president would do well to remind his staffers of what my father used to tell me: "if you do not know about something, do not presume to talk about it unless you want to come across as an ass, a fool, and big-mouth."
