Video: "Obama Is Lying"

Most know that I'm not particularly a supporter of Sarah Palin. That said, in the short video below, Sarah Palin minces no words (hat tip to Gateway Pundit):


Whomever the GOP chooses as its candidate in 2012 needs to be aggressive in pointing out Obama's lies and misdeeds. Indeed, the GOP should be so doing right now and should be pointing out some of these details, too.

One more Sarah Palin video, this one of a different sort (hat tip to Mustang of Social Sense):

Is Sarah Palin God?

22:18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, [and] from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

22:19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

22:20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

2 Samuel 18-20.

I'd rather void conflating Religion with History. They aren't the same disciplines, and they even have little in common.

History is not the story of the past: History is what we do. Yes, there is a history of, but what we do now is History.

Religion has histories in particular, but religion is an activity among men on-going that is not historical.

History is our private and public enterprise in toto, a developing and undecided, unfolding event. Religion is a state of being among men in relation to Man. How men "bind" or reify religion is a matter of History; but that men do is a matter of religion.

How we see our selves and others in relation to our self-being is how we decide the worth of our lives. So I'll pass for now on the doing of Religion as History, and I'll look slightly at religion as being, as religio.

If I am God, there is no higher moral power than myself, and thus, "Everything is permitted." No one can rightly contradict me because I am God. You are God. We are all God; and therefore there is no God. Everything is relative. There is Nihilo ex nihilo. There are brief candles and dusty roads to death. Every man's death is the submergence of an island. We are all free to be nothing at all but our own nothing. We are free to embrace anything we volunteer to embrace, likely pleasure, even if such is pain. Our moral must be, at best, prudence, maybe utillity if we're somehow generous. But if we're not, then we turn from the Hobbesean nightmare to the Hobbesean dream. From every man for himself and God against all, we turn to the Leviathan.

If we are God, then anything the collective decides is god-like: Our General Will is our State, and our state is God; our representative, our avatar, is the Earthly godhead; and the people are the pure, unlike those who are not The People. We can know this by reference to the godhead who reifies the General Will, and he knows it from gnosis, a special insight into the pleroma.We do not know the General Will because we do not have the gnosis. Our avatar does. He and It are general. Our religio, our binding, is total, for to be outside the bounds of the general binding, i.e. our religion, is to be not god, hence evil. If there is actually one legitimate, god-like Reich, ein Fuhrer, and ein Volk, then those who are not of it are outside it, ex religio, excommnicare. Enemies of the State, whether they know it or not, whether they commit crimes or not. They are not of God, the political religion, i.e. the poligion.

Is Sarah Palin, in her own mind, God? Does Sarah Palin assume the State must be God and she its bridge across the caesura? I don't see this in evidence. Rather, I see Sarah Palin as one who sees herself as David did: She is worthy because she is loved as a creature in the image of God. She is not above but below, and humbly and gratefully so.

"Because he delighted in me."

Obama gods and Palin monsters

There are those who look on the world comprising Gods and Monsters. To some, some men are not born equal in natural rights as men; some men are gods and some are monsters. There is Obama. There is Sarah Palin.

Exactly How Are Dissed, Disdained Citizens And Taxpayers Supposed To React?

BUMPED TO THE TOP FOR NOW - SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS

UPDATE FROM PASTORIUS AT BOTTOM OF POST

Recently, Sarah Palin told ObamaCare critics at town halls to use restraint.

According to this at Politico:

Palin's comments, posted on her Facebook page, come after weeks of raucous town halls in which conservatives have shouted down members of Congress.

"There are many disturbing details in the current bill that Washington is trying to rush through Congress, but we must stick to a discussion of the issues and not get sidetracked by tactics that can be accused of leading to intimidation or harassment," Palin wrote. "Such tactics diminish our nation’s civil discourse which we need now more than ever because the fine print in this outrageous health care proposal must be understood clearly and not get lost in conscientious voters’ passion to want to make elected officials hear what we are saying. Let’s not give the proponents of nationalized health care any reason to criticize us."

Let's think about Palin's statement for a minute. Common folk are going to town halls and have one chance to have a face-to-face with their so-called "elected public servants." And those public servants are lying to and dissing the very people who pay their salaries after voting these "public servants" into office. These common folk, many of them looking to the so-called "experts" for answers, come, for the most part, respectful of the office and perhaps even a bit intimidated by the "experts," many of whom are lawyers or, at the least, have many years in public office. Then the common folk learn that these relied-upon "experts" don't have answers and/or are spouting the BHO party line.

Analogy: I recently bought a new car. The first dealer I visited for over three hours lied to me as to the trade-in amount for my clunker (the manager saying "$3500" when the government web site clearly stated $4500). We cut a tentative deal at $11,000, and when I returned to that car dealer later in the day with my checkbook in hand and the printout from the government web site, I got all sorts of run-around and a new price of $14,000.

So what did I do? Kick the furniture around? Start yelling? No. I went to another car dealer and yet another until I found one willing to strike a deal with me. I wasn't trapped, I had options.

But what if there had been no other car dealer to go to? I think that my reaction would have been much like the common folk at the town halls. I certainly wouldn't have left quietly as I really needed a new car.

In a sense, these common folk at the town halls are trapped. They have only one dealer with which to strike a deal, that dealer being their so-called "public servant" of the moment. And the common folk are seeing so-called "public servant" after so-called "public servant" acting the ass and lying.

These so-called "public servants" deserve to be hooted at, yelled at, and laughed at. They've earned such reactions. They also need to be voted out of office - perhaps even recalled from office before their current term has ended.

In my view, Sarah Palin is coming off like some kind of elitist with her statement about telling the common folk to tone down their anger. Furthermore, the people - the common folk, untrained in public relations and policy debate, which training all these politicians have - are showing anger in the face of disdain and lies, and are responding in the tradition of the Spirit of 1776.

It is the so-called "public servants" who have turned public discourse into a farce. They deserve the reaction they are getting from the people.

Excellent post, AOW. Thanks. I am so glad you said this.  

The other day, Congressman Tim Bishop of some district in the state of New York, was asked a question about the Constitutionality of some of the moves in Obamacare, and by the Obama Administration with regards to it's handling of GM and Chrysler.  

Tim Bishop responded with AN ANSWER TO A QUESTION ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION WITH A LECTURE ON THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE.  

TIM BISHOP SAID THE WORD "INDIVISIBLE" IN THE PLEDGE MEANS  

"WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER"  

and therefore, we should expect to have to pay each others health care bills.  

That is, in essence a restatement of the Communist Creed, which is  

"From each according to his ability, and to each according to their need."  

The Communist Creed is THE OPPOSITE OF THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION.  

IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE AMERICAN TRADITION.  

AND, IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.  

So, when a public servant makes such a preposterous statement in a "Town Hall Meeting", which is after all supposed to be a meeting of the minds between the Public Servants and their constituents, 

THEY DESERVE TO BE LAUGHED AT, 

THEY DESERVE TO BE HOOTED AND HOWLED AT, 

AND, FRANKLY, THEY PROBABLY DESERVE TO BE TARRED AND FEATHERED, AS MIDNIGHT RIDER SUGGESTED THE OTHER DAY.  

Sarah Palin is absolutely wrong on this one.  

I am profoundly disappointed in her.  

What does she expect common folk to do when they have just one chance to talk with their Congressional Representatives? What does she expect when, as we can assume, these people are likely intimidated to stand up and speak in the first place, and then their "Representatives" lie, obfuscate, and evade?  

As a common person myself, I can tell you that when people in positions of power lie to me, I can be intimidated rather easily. The reason being, I don't know whether to call bullshit, or question if instead, perhaps, I am just misunderstanding.  

After all, I can't claim to have the vast knowledge of the inner workings of huge issues like healthcare.  

But, sadly it seems we are finding that we common people have a better understanding of the American Constitution than do our "Representatives."

And, as for Sarah Palin; listen lady, I'm going to make a deal with you. If you want to be what you have been thus far in the national debate, that is a real representative of the will of the people, then never, ever, fucking talk to us this way again.

You got it?

The 'Cuda Bites Back

Gateway Pundit:

Sarah Palin: Obama Is Misleading the Public On Health Care

Sarah Palin went after Barack Obama for misleading the public on Obamacare.Palin says Obama is misleading the public on legislation that would lead to rationing and suffering for the poor and disabled in America.From her Facebook page, via Free Republic:

Yesterday President Obama responded to my statement that Democratic health care proposals would lead to rationed care; that the sick, the elderly, and the disabled would suffer the most under such rationing; and that under such a system these “unproductive” members of society could face the prospect of government bureaucrats determining whether they deserve health care.

The President made light of these concerns. He said:

“Let me just be specific about some things that I’ve been hearing lately that we just need to dispose of here. The rumor that’s been circulating a lot lately is this idea that somehow the House of Representatives voted for death panels that will basically pull the plug on grandma because we’ve decided that we don’t, it’s too expensive to let her live anymore....It turns out that I guess this arose out of a provision in one of the House bills that allowed Medicare to reimburse people for consultations about
end-of-life care, setting up living wills, the availability of hospice, etc. So the intention of the members of Congress was to give people more information so that they could
handle issues of end-of-life care when they’re ready on their own terms. It wasn’t forcing anybody to do anything.” [1]

The provision that President Obama refers to is Section 1233 of HR 3200, entitled “Advance Care Planning Consultation.” [2] With all due respect, it’s misleading for the President to describe this section as an entirely voluntary provision that simply increases the information offered to Medicare recipients. The issue is the context in which that information is provided and the coercive effect these consultations will have in that context.

Section 1233 authorizes advanced care planning consultations for senior citizens on Medicare every five years, and more often “if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual ... or upon admission to a skilled nursing facility, a long-term care facility... or a hospice program." [3] During those consultations,
practitioners must explain “the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care and hospice,” and the government benefits available to pay for such services. [4]

Now put this in context. These consultations are authorized whenever a Medicare
recipient’s health changes significantly or when they enter a nursing home, and they are part of a bill whose stated purpose is “to reduce the growth in health care spending.” [5] Is it any wonder that senior citizens might view such consultations as attempts to convince them to help reduce health care costs by accepting minimal end-of-life care? As Charles Lane notes in the Washington Post, Section 1233 “addresses compassionate goals in disconcerting proximity to fiscal ones.... If it’s all about alleviating suffering, emotional or physical, what’s it doing in a measure to “bend the curve” on health-care costs?” [6]...

So are these usually friendly pundits wrong? Is this all just a “rumor” to be “disposed of”, as President Obama says? Not according to Democratic New York State Senator
Ruben Diaz, Chairman of the New York State Senate Aging Committee, who writes:

Section 1233 of House Resolution 3200 puts our senior citizens on a slippery slope and may diminish respect for the inherent dignity of each of their lives.... It is egregious to consider that any senior citizen ... should be placed in a situation where he or she would feel pressured to save the government money by dying a little sooner than he or she otherwise would, be required to be counseled about the supposed benefits of killing oneself, or be encouraged to sign any end of life directives that they would not otherwise sign. [9]

Of course, it’s not just this one provision that presents a problem. My original
comments concerned statements made by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a health policy
advisor to President Obama and the brother of the President’s chief of staff. Dr. Emanuel has written that some medical services should not be guaranteed to those “who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens....An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.” [10] Dr. Emanuel has also advocated basing medical decisions on a system which "produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated.” [11]

President Obama can try to gloss over the effects of government authorized end-of-life consultations, but the views of one of his top health care advisors are clear enough. It’s all just more evidence that the Democratic legislative proposals will lead to health care rationing, and more evidence that the top-down plans of government bureaucrats will never result in real health care reform.

Palin Won't Make It easy for Either Party

American Thinker:

Sarah Palin: A Leader Without A Party
By Stuart Williamson

The Democrats -- and the Republicans too -- may find the next stage of Sarah Palin's public career uncomfortable. True to form, Sarah Palin, her Governorship behind her, clearly and forthrightly declared her intent: to take up arms against the forces dedicated to tearing down our Constitution, destroying our principles of government, disparaging our history of defense of democracy and free enterprise, weakening our military, and saddling generations to come with oppressive debt and entitlement programs. She did so in the same inspirational, forceful manner that won her immediate and enthusiastic acclaim when she joined John McCain on the Republican ticket in ‘08.

Her words, her dynamic style, her good humor and high spirits, as well as her clear dedication to the traditional values of Middle America, have created a great wave of euphoria among conservatives across the country, in the Tea Party movement as well as those who embraced her last fall.

Those in the Obama camp who have savaged her, and the commentators who have criticized her for being a quitter, a political weakling, doomed forever as a loser, are about to get their first lesson in Palin 101: The word "quit" is not in her vocabulary. She is not a reactive defender. She is a fierce and fearless attack machine. She earned her nickname Sarah Barracuda, on the basketball court. She polished those skills in the rough and tumble of the frontier politics of Alaska.

She is unswervingly honest. She hates liars and cheats. She spent many years exposing powerful entrenched opponents in a state whose politics had become sleazy, and has a keen nose for corruption What she says, she means. She makes no idle promises. This honesty is what brought her into politics in the first place. She ran for mayor of Wasilla because she questioned the motives of the favored candidate. She cleaned up local government. Her integrity is what propelled her to high approval ratings as she rose to the governorship. Her honesty is transparent, it shines through. It resonates with voters, differentiating her from run-of-the mill opportunistic professional politicians.

For Palin, integrity in government transcends all other considerations. Many politicians and pundits find this hard to believe, or even understand.

The truth is: Sarah Palin is not really a "politician". She did not get into politics to seek power or wealth. She bears no resemblance to the typical politician, who graduated in Law specifically to enter politics; or to the successful businessman who runs for office to gain profit advantage or status; or to the mediocrities who rises through nepotism or dynastic ambition like a Kennedy or a Gore. Or to any party hack out of the Chicago machine.

She has not brought herself into this fight at this point because she wants to be President...or Vice-President...or Senator....or Cabinet member. She is in this solely because she feels, deeply, that our traditional principles and values, already betrayed by both parties, are in serious jeopardy through the aggressive efforts of committed socialists. She is prepared to make a personal sacrifice in the cause of defeating them. If she succeeds, she'll be happy to just go back to Wasilla and the Alaskan way of middle class life she loves.

Remember, she made it clear in her resignation that she was going to remain "outside" the political fences. For she is going to turn her guns on the GOP -- big time. She wants nothing to do with the Republican National Committee, and not just because she has been reading Mark Levin's Liberty and Tyranny. She has fought the GOP top dogs since her first days in Wasilla. When she was appointed by the Governor to chair the Oil & Gas Conservation Commission and found out the Republicans were dealing under the counter with the private companies, she resigned and blew the whistle. When her party wouldn't support her for Governor she ran on her own -- against their open opposition -- and won. And promptly attacked waste and corruption within the Republican state government.

Then she was drafted by McCain, sparking some indignation in the RNC. She promptly charged the flailing campaign with her energy and her personality, attracting huge numbers of people to GOP rallies, and most likely some new voters. But she got no support from the sclerotic RNC managers -- and the great fighter pilot couldn't shoot straight. Then he bailed out on her after the election, and she received no thanks for her valiant effort; not only was she simply dumped, but reviled and mocked by the insiders and elitists she had worked with.

Post-election, repulsively hammered by the Democrats, abetted by her enemies in the Alaskan GOP ranks, and their Eastern Beltway buddies, she has pressed on, in ways that none of them ever would have anticipated.

Should anybody be surprised that she would have nothing but contempt for the party whose key figures continue to question her competence and ability to govern? That she has publicly disowned them, pledged to work outside them? She owes the Republican organization nothing. She not only knows that she does not need them to gain a strong voter segment, but that they would hang her high if she remained in the fold.

I'm sure she relishes the prospect of not just holding on to her faithful within the party, but to swelling their numbers by many millions of other Republicans, independents and disenchanted Democrats over the next year.

Palin means exactly what she said. She will make no deal with the RNC, and will operate entirely outside its control. She will go after individuals and policies and the rudderless, dim-wiited, ossified RNC with the same vigor and eloquence she goes after the socialist administration.

Sarah Palin as the intelligence, the political skills, the downhome eloquence, the vision and the dedication to influence the swing vote come fall of 2010. She will have attracted the support of power brokers unhappy with the floundering RNC and attracted those "comers" within the party who share her views. As the election nears, incumbents as well as new challengers for Congressional positions, will want to be identified with her.

Palin has the upper hand. She will call her own shots next year, whether the GOP likes it or not.
Her conservative critics should stop twittering and blathering about her "fitness for the Presidency". And her fans should lay off it. Who says she wants it? Or any other high national office? It is very doubtful that she will personally run for the presidency, even if pressured. She spent enough time during the McCain campaign to see, close up and clearly, the dirty underside of national politics, and the shallowness of life in DC and the big cities. I suspect it repels her. Four years in the White House? When she could be back in Wasilla with her family, friends, her fishing and hunting, plus an assured income from speaking, writing, commentating... all at her own discretion and timing? Get real!

But boy, are the Democrats and the Republicans in for a rough ride!

The 'Cap And Tax' Dead End

at The Washington Post:

The 'Cap And Tax' Dead End
By Sarah Palin
Tuesday, July 14, 2009

There is no shortage of threats to our economy. America's unemployment rate recently hit its highest mark in more than 25 years and is expected to continue climbing. Worries are widespread that even when the economy finally rebounds, the recovery won't bring jobs. Our nation's debt is unsustainable, and the federal government's reach into the private sector is unprecedented.

Unfortunately, many in the national media would rather focus on the personality-driven political gossip of the day than on the gravity of these challenges. So, at risk of disappointing the chattering class, let me make clear what is foremost on my mind and where my focus will be:
I am deeply concerned about President Obama's cap-and-trade energy plan, and I believe it is an enormous threat to our economy. It would undermine our recovery over the short term and would inflict permanent damage.

American prosperity has always been driven by the steady supply of abundant, affordable energy. Particularly in Alaska, we understand the inherent link between energy and prosperity, energy and opportunity, and energy and security. Consequently, many of us in this huge, energy-rich state recognize that the president's cap-and-trade energy tax would adversely affect every aspect of the U.S. economy.

There is no denying that as the world becomes more industrialized, we need to reform our energy policy and become less dependent on foreign energy sources. But the answer doesn't lie in making energy scarcer and more expensive! Those who understand the issue know we can meet our energy needs and environmental challenges without destroying America's economy.

Job losses are so certain under this new cap-and-tax plan that it includes a provision accommodating newly unemployed workers from the resulting dried-up energy sector, to the tune of $4.2 billion over eight years. So much for creating jobs.

In addition to immediately increasing unemployment in the energy sector, even more American
jobs will be threatened by the rising cost of doing business under the cap-and-tax plan. For example, the cost of farming will certainly increase, driving down farm incomes while driving up grocery prices. The costs of manufacturing, warehousing and transportation will also increase.
The ironic beauty in this plan? Soon, even the most ardent liberal will understand supply-side economics.

The Americans hit hardest will be those already struggling to make ends meet. As the president eloquently puts it, their electricity bills will "necessarily skyrocket." So much for not raising taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year.

Even Warren Buffett, an ardent Obama supporter, admitted that under the cap-and-tax scheme, "poor people are going to pay a lot more for electricity."

We must move in a new direction. We are ripe for economic growth and energy independence if we responsibly tap the resources that God created right underfoot on American soil. Just as important, we have more desire and ability to protect the environment than any foreign nation from which we purchase energy today.

In Alaska, we are progressing on the largest private-sector energy project in history. Our 3,000-mile natural gas pipeline will transport hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of our clean natural gas to hungry markets across America. We can safely drill for U.S. oil offshore and in a tiny, 2,000-acre corner of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge if ever given the go-ahead by Washington bureaucrats.

Of course, Alaska is not the sole source of American energy. Many states have abundant coal, whose technology is continuously making it into a cleaner energy source. Westerners literally sit on mountains of oil and gas, and every state can consider the possibility of nuclear energy.

We have an important choice to make. Do we want to control our energy supply and its environmental impact? Or, do we want to outsource it to China, Russia and Saudi Arabia? Make no mistake: President Obama's plan will result in the latter.

For so many reasons, we can't afford to kill responsible domestic energy production or clobber every American consumer with higher prices.

Can America produce more of its own energy through strategic investments that protect the environment, revive our economy and secure our nation?

Yes, we can. Just not with Barack Obama's energy cap-and-tax plan.

The Cuda Challenges Obama & Gates

Via ADN.com or Pravda North, as I like to call it:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is calling for President Obama to take a firm stance against North Korea and defend the states and territories of the United States and allies on the Korean peninsula.

North Korea fired a short-range missile on Friday — the sixth this week. Military experts believe a long-range missile could reach Alaska, where part of the nation's missile defense system is located.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates will tour the missile defense site at Fort Greely, near Fairbanks, on Monday.

The Defense Department is not recommending moving forward with a planned expansion of the missile defense system at Fort Greely in its latest budget.

“The United Nations sanctions have failed to stop North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons, and the Obama Administration cannot afford to be playing catch-up to an irrational dictator like Kim Jong-Il,” Palin said in a written statement. “Missile Defense Agency funding must be fully restored in the federal budget to guarantee our protective measures remain the best in the world. Fort Greely plays a crucial role in the nation’s security.”

Governor Urges President to Stand Firm Against North Korea Rogue nation’s capability to attack Alaska and Hawaii cannot be ignored:

May 29, 2009, Anchorage, Alaska – Governor Sarah Palin called on President Barack Obama to take a firm stand against North Korea and defend the states and territories of the United States of America and American allies on the Korean peninsula.

This morning, North Korea launched its sixth short-range missile since Monday’s nuclear test. North Korea has also stated that it is no longer bound by the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War. Further, President Obama has proposed a $1.4 billion reduction of the Missile Defense Agency’s budget.

“The United Nations sanctions have failed to stop North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons, and the Obama Administration cannot afford to be playing catch-up to an irrational dictator like Kim Jong-Il,” said Governor Palin. “Missile Defense Agency funding must be fully restored in the federal budget to guarantee our protective measures remain the best in the world. Fort Greely plays a crucial role in the nation’s security.”

Alaska is home to the largest ground-based mid-course defense missile shield in North America. Because of its geographical position and proximity to potential targets, Alaska plays a critical role in national security and in the defense of American allies.

Ground missile defense is the cornerstone of the Missile Defense Agency’s multi-layered architecture. It is designed to detect, track, discriminate, intercept and destroy long- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles during the mid-course phase of flight. The weapons system consists of land-, sea- and space-based sensors, command and control operations, and silo-based interceptors that are located at Vandenberg AFB, California and Fort Greely.
