Social SCREW-curity

Keep looking over your shoulder America, the screwings will continue until morale improves. Here is some great news on how the Federal Government has been stealing from you for years.

From Fox News- WASHINGTON -- The financial health of the government's two biggest benefit programs may have slipped over the past year, reflecting the deep recession that has already bitten into other areas of the budget.
The trustees for Social Security and Medicare are scheduled to provide their annual report on the finances of both programs on Tuesday. In advance of the release, many private analysts said they expected both programs could run out of cash sooner than last predicted.
A year ago, the trustees projected that the Social Security trust fund would start paying out more in benefits than it collects in taxes in 2017 and that the trust fund would be depleted in 2041.

I wish they would stop using the term “trustees” to describe this bunch of malcontents. Trust is the last thing we should have in the folks running (ruining?) Social Security.

For the Medicare trust fund, which pays for hospital care, the situation was more urgent. It was projected to start paying more in benefits than it collects in taxes within a year, and the trustees forecast that it would be depleted by 2019.

Wow, great news. I hope I don’t get sick in 10 years. Wait, I have a job and I pay for insurance, I don’t need Medicare! Why is everyone surprised by this? Creating a program to pay for medical expenses for people who don’t work and funding it by taxing those who do, who came up with this? Well, the answer should be obvious…LBJ. You remember him, Vietnam, The Great Society, civil rights. LBJ?
Come one, you remember.

OK, he killed Kennedy. Yea! That guy!

The Great Society was another New Deal style program designed to compensate for liberal guilt over the class disparity in America. Another spoonful of Socialism, candy coated social engineering designed to make us all feel good again. BTW, FDR was the A$$ who saddled us with Social Security. I hope they are dancing in Hell with Hitler and Stalin. Well, I guess FDR is probably not dancing.

But many analysts said the worst recession in decades will produce a bleaker forecast for both Social Security and Medicare in the new trustees' report. The downturn has resulted in a loss of 5.7 million payroll jobs since it began in December 2007 and an unemployment rate that hit a 25-year high of 8.9 percent in April.
Fewer people working means less being paid into the trust funds for Social Security and Medicare.

I think we have found the weakness in the plan here. Apparently no one ever considered, when designing these something-for-nothing plans, that the golden goose (the American taxpayer) would ever stop laying. Our incredulous belief in our own supremacy and money making ability has hoisted us on our own petard. Crap.

The Congressional Budget Office recently projected that Social Security will collect just $3 billion more in 2010 than it will pay out in benefits. A year ago, the CBO had projected that Social Security would have a much higher $86 billion cash surplus for the 2010 budget year, which begins Oct. 1. The difference in the two estimates is the result of the recession.
While the smaller surplus will not have any impact on Social Security benefit payments, the government will need to borrow more at a time when the federal deficit is already exploding because of the recession and the billions of dollars being spent to prop up a shaky banking system.

Exactly. We won’t pay less to those currently collecting, we will just screw everyone who is paying in right now. No retirement for you!

For years, the Social Security trust fund has taken in more than it spent on benefits, resulting in a cushion of billions of dollars that the government could spend on other programs while giving the trust fund an IOU.

Except for one thing…This is not the government’s money to play with. This is my money. This is your money. We pay it in so when we retire it will be available. This may come as a surprise if you have not been paying attention for the last 3 decades, but the program is going bankrupt. If you are working now, your money is going to pay for everyone collecting Social Security RIGHT NOW! Uncle Sugar is not saving that money for you. Nope, he has his hand in your pocket, stealing from you. There, I said it. The Federal Government is stealing from us! There is nothing left. Federally mandate robbery has been used for years to support a program that is a complete failure. If I had the option to invest the amount that the government has been stealing from me since I was 17, I could have a nice retirement nest egg set up by now (even considering the current economic downturn).

Even with the big drop in the Social Security surplus, Medicare's condition is more precarious, reflecting the pressures from soaring health care costs as well as the drop in tax collections. For that reason, President Barack Obama is expected to focus on Medicare before he addresses Social Security.
Obama on Monday praised a pledge by the health care industry to achieve $2 trillion in savings on health care costs over the next decade, but it was unclear how much help those pledges would be in achieving Obama's goal of extending coverage to some 50 million uninsured Americans. The administration is pushing Congress to pass legislation in this area this year, preferring to tackle health care before Social Security.
The trustees report is still expected to set off a heated debate over the government's two large benefit programs, with critics saying it will highlight the failure of the Obama administration to take on the most serious problems in the budget -- soaring entitlement spending, before the retirement of 78 million baby boomers makes the problems even worse.
The administration on Monday revised its deficit forecasts upward to project an imbalance this year of $1.84 trillion, four times last year's record deficit, and said the deficits will remain above $500 billion every year over the next decade.

Dear Uncle Sam,
Please stop stealing from me to pay for failed entitlement programs.
Sincerely,
RipperBravo6

Our Douchebag of the Month is a dirty hippy lawyer

Well, we needed a new Douchebag of the Month, but I am really torn on this one. One one hand, you can look at the guys career and it just screams "D-Bag" However, dirty liberal hippy lawyers do serve a purpose in this country. And no, I don't mean as fertilizer. They are the last forlorn hope of the obviously guilty. And on the off chance that someone of this ilk is innocent (has to be a 1 in 16,542,337 chance, right?) they might be the only ones willing to stand up and fight. And to make their case even more compelling, they frequently are fighting against an unjust and unfeeling government. I like that. However, rolling a turd in rainbow sprinkles does not make it a delicious pastry treat. So, decision made. I salute you, Ron Kuby, our "Douchebag of the Month".

From Fox News-NEW YORK — The sole surviving Somali pirate from the hostage-taking of an American ship captain arrived in New York on Monday, smiling for a gaggle of cameras and reporters as federal agents led him into custody to face charges in the attack.
Abduhl Wali-i-Musi was handcuffed and had a chain wrapped around his waist. His left hand was heavily bandaged from the wound he suffered during the skirmish on the ship two weeks ago.
The smiling teenager seemed poised as he entered a federal building in a rainstorm, but he didn't say anything in response to reporters' shouted questions about whether he had any comment about the pirate episode.
This skidmark is smiling because he is facing trial in the one country that has made being a captured high-profile criminal one of the safest career paths ever. Anywhere else and this dude would have been dancing a jolly jig from a yardarm about 5 minutes after being caught.
Wali-i-Musi is the first person to be tried in the United States on piracy charges in more than a century. He was flown from Africa to a New York airport and taken into custody ahead of a court hearing Tuesday.
A law enforcement official familiar with the case said that the teenager was being charged under two obscure federal laws that deal with piracy and hostage-taking. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the charges had not been announced.
The teenager's arrival came on the same day that his mother appealed to President Barack Obama for his release. She says her son was coaxed into piracy by "gangsters with money."
Yes, that would be an apt definition of "Pirates". Thanks Mom.
"I appeal to President Obama to pardon my teenager; I request him to release my son or at least allow me to see him and be with him during the trial," Adar Abdirahman Hassan said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from her home in Galka'yo town in Somalia.
Ah, so it begins. A plea to be allowed to come to the US. How much you want to be that when Mom gets here, she will never want to leave? Any excuse to leave Somalia is a good excuse.
The age and real name of the young pirate remained unclear. The mother said he is only 16 years old and is named Abdi Wali Abdulqadir Muse. The law enforcement official says he is at least 18, meaning prosecutors will not have to take extra legal steps to put him on trial in a U.S. court.
She also said he was a "good boy" and just a little "high spirited". And, he always keeps his AK-47 clean.
The suspect was taken aboard a U.S. Navy ship shortly before Navy SEAL snipers killed three of his colleagues who had held Capt. Richard Phillips hostage.
Making him the luckiest Somali in the world. If he hadn't have turned bitch, his brains would be part of a Modern Art project on the walls of a lifeboat in the Gulf of Aden with the rest of his buddies.
The U.S. officials said the teenager was brought to New York to face trial in part because the FBI office here has a history of handling cases in Africa involving major crimes against Americans, such as the al-Qaida bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998.
Ron Kuby, a New York-based civil rights lawyer, said he has been in discussions about forming a legal team to represent the Somalian.
And so the Douchebaggery begins.
"I think in this particular case, there's a grave question as to whether America was in violation of principles of truce in warfare on the high seas," said Kuby. "This man seemed to come onto the Bainbridge under a flag of truce to negotiate. He was then captured. There is a question whether he is lawfully in American custody and serious questions as to whether he can be prosecuted because of his age."
Truce in warfare? Well. let's get back out on that lifeboat and give Wali-al-Dumbfuck a chance NOT to surrender.Kuby intrigues me, so at this point I had to go to the old stand by, Wikipedia...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born July 31, 1956 (1956-07-31) (age 52)Cleveland, Ohio Nationality United States Occupation Trial attorney Ronald L. Kuby (born July 31, 1956 in Cleveland, Ohio) is a criminal defense and civil rights lawyer, radio talk show host and TV commentator. He is currently hosting Doing Time with Ron Kuby on Air America Radio.

[edit] BeginningsAfter his parents divorced when he was five years old, Kuby lived with his mother. At thirteen, he joined the Jewish Defense League under the influence of his father, a follower of Meir David Kahane. He would later defend El Sayyid Nosair, convicted of Kahane's murder as part of his conviction for conspiracy in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
So this guy defended, in court, the cowardly terrorist murderer of his Dad's hero? Sorry, if someone had killed Mickey Mantle or John Wayne, I would have done something different than offer to defend them in court, but that is just me, and thankfully my Dad had different heros.
In junior high school, Kuby was nearly expelled for publishing an underground newspaper critical of the school administration.[1] As a teenager, he visited Israel, but soon returned to the United States complaining of "anti-Arab racism".[2][citation needed]
Anti-arab racisism in Israel? Unheard of! The Middle East is the land of hugs.
After dropping out of college, Kuby briefly worked on a tug boat in the U.S. Virgin Islands, then moved to New England, and Kansas, where he eventually completed his degree at the University of Kansas.[3]
[edit] Partnership with William KunstlerWhile in college, Kuby interned with William Kunstler, a lawyer known for his defense of the Chicago Seven. Kuby earned his Juris Doctor from Cornell Law School in 1983.
From 1983 until Kunstler's death in 1995, the two worked together on civil rights and criminal cases. They represented Gregory Lee Johnson, Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman (head of the Egyptian-based militant group Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya); Colin Ferguson (the man responsible for the LIRR shootings, who would later choose to represent himself at trial); Qubilah Shabazz (daughter of Malcolm X, accused of plotting to murder Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam); Glenn Harris (a New York public school teacher who absconded with a fifteen year-old girl for two months), Darrell Cabey (one of the persons who assaulted Bernard Goetz ); Yu Kikumura, and associates of the Gambino Crime Family. During the Gulf War, they represented American soldiers claiming "conscientious objector" status. They also represented El Sayyid Nosair, assassin of the late extremist Rabbi Meir Kahane, whom Kuby's father had admired.
This guys client list is a Who's Who of scumbags. Petty criminals, child rapists, murderers, terrorists and deserters, very impressive.
[edit] Post-Kunstler CareerAfter Kunstler's death, Kuby continued the work of his late mentor. In 1996, he won a judgment of forty three million dollars against Bernhard Goetz. He also won nearly a million dollars for members of the Hells Angels motorcycle club, who were wrongfully arrested by the New York City Police Department. He won the 2001 release of two men imprisoned 13 years for a murder they did not commit, winning a judgment of 3.3 million dollars for the pair. He secured a reversal of a murder conviction for a mentally-ill homeless man whose candle accidentally caused the death of a firefighter. In 2005, Kuby won close to a million dollars for another wrongfully convicted man who spent eight years in prison. Kuby now leads the Law Office of Ronald L. Kuby, one of the premiere criminal defense and civil rights firms in New York City.[5]
OK, I have to give him his dirty hippy props for standing up for the little guy (even if that guy is the Hell's Angels). Still a Douchebag, but I won't spit in your face if we meet.
[edit] Radio and television personality Until November 1, 2007, Kuby co-hosted (with Curtis Sliwa) the popular Curtis and Kuby in the Morning program aired on weekdays from 5 to 10 am on WABC-AM 770 in New York City.[6] The show featured commentary and debate on current issues, and a Court of Kuby segment on notable legal cases and periodic "Shout Outs" to current and former clients.
He is also a frequent pundit and substitute anchor on Court TV. He and Sliwa once shared a short-lived midday television program on MSNBC.
Kuby has often claimed to be a Communist. However, Kuby's political beliefs moderated considerably after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Of Jewish heritage, Kuby has also said he is an atheist.
He is interviewed in Kevin Keating's documentary Giuliani Time (which is concerned with Rudy Giuliani's career).
Kuby was fired by WABC on November 1, 2007 as part of a plan to bring back Don Imus to morning radio, in place of the station's Curtis and Kuby in the Morning show. WABC program director Phil Boyce publicly stated that he did not intend to keep Kuby.
Kuby was surprised that he was the first casualty of Imus – "Imus makes a racist comment, they fire a civil rights lawyer, and Imus gets my job," Kuby said.[7]
OK, this is funny. Just plain funny. Irony anyone?
On June 3, 2008, Ron Kuby returned to the air with his own show. He was hired by Air America Radio to replace Randi Rhodes on weekday afternoons. Doing Time with Ron Kuby airs weekdays from 3 P.M. to 6 P.M. Eastern Time
So, Mr. Kuby will go on to defend this pirate, and probably save him from the death penalty (if that is even considered). People like Ron Kuby are a neccessary part of our society, but they are still douchebags.

Keep Laughing MotherF****rs

Axelrod: Tea Party Anger is Misdirected

Obama senior adviser says frustration over spending and taxes is "unhealthy."

AP
Sunday, April 19, 2009

WASHINGTON -- Damn the tea bags. A top adviser to President Barack Obama takes a dim view of last week's anti-tax "tea parties," promoted by organizers in the spirit of the Boston Tea Party.

"The thing that bewilders me is this president just cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people. So I think the tea bags should be directed elsewhere because he certainly understands the burden that people face," David Axelrod said Sunday.

This Axlerod guy is clueless. Obama's minuscule tax cuts come on the heels of creating the largest tax burden in history, something our children and grandchildren will have to pay off. Don't you think we might be a little pissed about that still? In the land of government supplied Bread and Circus, Axlerod expects our societal ADD to kick in. He thinks we should only be concerned with what the President has done for us lately. Well, sorry Ms. Jackson, we don't forget.

And I find it more than a little humorous that Mr. Axlerod is actually going to assert that a man with a 1.3 million dollar net worth understands the burden that the common man in America faces. Sorry Dave, no dice. The common man in America did not attend Columbia University or Harvard Law. The common man did not learn at the feet of Marxist liberals. The common man goes to work in a store, a factory or an office, not at a CIA front like Business International Corporation (look it up if you don't believe me), or a "community organizing institute" like the Gamaliel Foundation or at a liberal law firm like David, Miner, Barnhill & Galland.

The rallies coincided with the deadline to file income taxes, and gave people a chance also to voice frustrations about government spending and corporate bailouts.

The tea parties were promoted by FreedomWorks, a conservative nonprofit advocacy group based in Washington and led by former Republican House Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas, who is now a lobbyist.

Axelrod was asked on CBS' "Face the Nation" for his opinion on what the show's host described as "this spreading and very public disaffection with not only the government, but especially the Obama administration."

Axelrod replied: "I think any time that you have severe economic conditions, there is always an element of disaffection that can mutate into something that's unhealthy."

Or maybe We The People have grown weary of our government (Left or Right, Blue or Red) promising one thing, doing the polar opposite, then trotting out spin doctors like this Axelrod to place blame anywhere but squarely on their shoulders.

"Unhealthy?" the moderator repeated.

"This is a country where we value our liberties and our ability to express ourselves. And so far these are expressions," Axelrod answered.

What the frack does that mean? Is that a threat? Is Axelrod saying that as long as our dissent takes to form of mindless, impotent whining about our taxes being too high, then it will be allowed? There is a real, palatable anger taking shape in this country, and it comes not from the hallowed halls of Washington DC, or the ghettos and slums of the inner city. It comes from middle America, from small towns, from suburbs, and straight from the mouths of the working middle class in America. It comes from the hopelessly unrepresented millions, who have no special interest lobbyist whispering in a politician's ear for them. It comes from people who were taught early on that the greatness of our country comes from a fair Constitution and a government that works for the people who elected it.

David Axelrod and the rest of America's government will ignore that at great peril.

RESIST...Before it is too late!

If you tell a lie enough times, it becomes the truth. This horrible lie has been told by the ATF, Attorney General Holder, Secretary of State Clinton, Mexico's ambassador to the US, and now Mexico's President is saying it. These are learned, well informed people, correct? Surely they have reviewed the statistics before making a huge pronouncement such as this? Surely each of these persons/groups has a huge staff checking the facts for them. Surely a brief was put together for them before they made these statements? It would be hard to believe that these fine folks are not privy to the truth.

So where does that leave us? Well, maybe I am a little more cynical and paranoid than the average bear, but it seems to me that maybe, just maybe, we are being lied to.
Why would any government do that? Well, folks, I am more and more inclined to believe that our government will use any excuse to disarm it's citizens. You see, when we are armed, we are citizens, when they take away our last option at dissent, we become subjects.

A wise old saying goes something like this "When it comes to dissenting, citizens have 3 boxes they can count on. First is the ballot box, they can vote against those whose tyranny they oppose. If that fails, there is the soap box, they can stand on it and voice their dissent against unfair leaders. The final box is the cartridge box. When all else fails, citizens can take up arms and physically oppose their government."

Well, America, we failed at the ballot box, and are stuck for 4 years. The current administration and the main stream media is doing their best to discredit and vilify anyone who gets on the soap box. And with these lies, they seek to take from your hand the last resort against tyranny, your right to resist.

Wake up America.

From Fox News- Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Wednesday made an assertion -- cited in the past by Mexico's U.S. ambassador and even by U.S. leaders, but debunked as a myth -- that 90 percent of the weapons intercepted in Mexico come from the U.S.
"I know that this is a very sensitive issue," Calderon said in an interview with NBC News. He also said that he will tell President Obama during his visit Thursday to Mexico City that the U.S. needs to clean up its drug problem if Mexico is going to be successful in its battle against the cartels.
"The source of the problem was the huge demand for drugs in the United States the largest market in the world for drugs," he said. "The United States, you have a lot of traffic of drugs. You have a lot of distribution of drugs. You have a lot of corruption as well."
Calderon's comments came days after Auturo Sarukhan, the Mexican ambassador to the United States, appeared on CBS' "Face the Nation" and made the same claim that 90 percent of the weapons intercepted in Mexico come from the U.S.
FOX News debunked that claim in a report earlier this month that found only 17 percent of guns found at Mexican crime scenes have been traced to the U.S., though even that figure is an imprecise estimate.
Calderon and Sarukhan aren't the only one to cite this myth. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, California Sen. Diane Feinstein and Willliam Hoover, assistant director for field operations at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, have all said that 90 percent of weapons used to commit crimes in Mexico come from the U.S.
An ATF spokeswoman told FOXNews.com earlier this month in a clarification of the statistic used by her own agency's assistant director "that over 90 percent of the traced firearms originate from the U.S." But a large percentage of the guns recovered in Mexico do not get sent back to the U.S. for tracing because it is obvious from their markings that they do not come from the U.S.
"Not every weapon seized in Mexico has a serial number on it that would make it traceable, and the U.S. effort to trace weapons really only extends to weapons that have been in the U.S. market," Matt Allen, special agent of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), told FOX News earlier this month.
Sarukhan has claimed that Mexico seizes 2,000 guns a day from the United States, or 730,000 a year. But the official statistic from the Mexico attorney general's office says Mexico seized 29,000 weapons in all of 2007 and 2008.
On "Face the Nation," host Bob Schieffer asked Sarukhan for evidence to support his claim that most of the weapons seized are coming from the United States.
"The data we have is the one that we've been sharing with our counterparts in the U.S. government, ATF and the Justice Department, and other agencies that have been working with us to determine where those guns are coming from," Sarukhan replied.
For example, Sarukhan cited the Mexican border town of Reynosa where he said more than 250 assault weapons and half a million rounds of ammo were seized in November.
"These had just crossed over the border from the United States in Mexico," he said. "By tracing these weapons, by looking at the types of weapons, we're determining that most of these weapons are coming from the United States."

From the Bush White House: The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Benjamin Franklin said it; "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ".

Well, in the aftermath of 9/11 the American people, in a fit of panic, ceded one of the basic rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights. That right is denoted by the 4th Amendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The worst part of it, was that most Americans never saw it happen. Wrapped up in the hysteria, seeing Al Quaeda around every corner and shaken to their core with fear, Americans welcomed President Bush's Patriot Act as a shield against the enemy. Never has a set of laws been so misnamed. There was nothing patriotic about this assault on our civil liberties, and our Constitutional rights. Our government legalized warrant less searches and wiretaps, trampling the Bill of Rights underfoot. And although this bill was designed to ferret out Islamic Extremists in our midst, it has and surely will continue to be used as an overreaching tool by Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement to dig into the personal lives of countless Innocent Americans.

There is simply no excuse for the citizens of the country and our elected officials letting this bill become law. Shame on all of us.We shall now certainly reap what we have sown.

From Fox News- WASHINGTON -- The National Security Agency intercepted Americans' e-mails and phone calls in recent months on a scale that went beyond limits set by Congress last year, The New York Times reported on Wednesday.
The problems were discovered during a review of the intelligence activities, the Justice Department said in a statement Wednesday night, and said they had been resolved.
Citing unnamed intelligence officials, the Times said the NSA had engaged in "'over-collection' of domestic communications of Americans." Sources reportedly described the practice as varying from significant to systemic to unintentional.
The agency also tried to wiretap a member of Congress without a warrant, an intelligence official told the Times.
The NSA believed that the congressman, whose identity was not revealed, was in contact with an extremist who had possible ties to terror and was already under surveillance. The NSA then tried to eavesdrop on the congressman's conversations, the Times said.
A bill passed by Congress in July 2008 authorizes U.S. intelligence agencies to eavesdrop without court approval on foreign targets believed to be outside the United States.
In its statement, the Justice Department said it has taken "comprehensive steps to correct the situation and bring the program into compliance."
The Justice Department did not elaborate on what problems it found.
Once corrective measures were taken, Attorney General Eric Holder sought authorization for renewing the surveillance program, officials said.
"It is not clear to what extent the agency may have actively listened in on conversations or read e-mails of Americans without proper court authority, rather than simply obtain access to them," the Times said.
Domestic eavesdropping has been a contentious issue since 2005, when the Times revealed that for years following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the NSA intercepted international phone conversations and e-mails involving U.S. citizens without a warrant.
That program ended in 2007, and the following year Congress passed legislation requiring the NSA to get court approval to monitor the purely domestic communications of Americans who came under suspicion.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

When The Truth No Longer Matters

So, here it is. This is what your government thinks of you. If you lean to the right in your politics, you may be a terrorist. This is one of the most blatant pieces of dogma-serving propaganda that I have ever seen. And to lay it on military veterans makes it even worse. It's not bad enough that we sent you to fight in a very intense, very dirty war that was less than popular with the American Public, we also can't trust you not to attack America once you get home! We can trust you to fight our enemies for a year or more in Afghanistan or Iraq, but once you get home, since you support the 2nd Amendment, we think you might turn against us. This is nothing more than an attempt by our current leftist/socialist government to disparage anyone who disagrees with them.

When the Nazis were coming to power in the early 1930's, they also needed a scapegoat. They chose the Jews. To vilify and disparage their new "enemy", the published a children's book called "The Poisonous Mushroom" about a Jewish child molester:

http://www.calvin.edu/academic/cas/gpa/thumb.htm .

How horrific. How simply evil. To paint an entire race with the brush of pederasty. But, when you look at it, this is exactly the same thing that DHS has done in publishing this new report. I can guarantee that the same information on right-wing extremism was available under previous regimes, however, by putting it out in the news, the Obama White House is using a broad brush to discredit any resistance from the right that might crop up in the near future. Putting a shadow of doubt in the minds of the public discredits and weakens an opposing position and makes it easier to dismiss by the powers that be. This is propaganda 101. When David faced Goliath, he probably spent some time walking around the Hebrew army talking shit about Goliath and how he was a nut job and liked to touch kids.

Don't be fooled America! There is a clear difference between right wing extremism and viable dissent. Learn the difference for yourself.

From Fox News-Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano apologized to veterans after a report issued by her department said troops returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were at risk for being recruited by right-wing extremists.
"To the extent veterans read it as an accusation -- and apology is owed," she said in an on-air interview on FOX News Thursday, a day after veterans' groups and members of Congress blasted her for the report, which they said libeled members of the armed forces.
"The last thing I want to do is offend or castigate all veterans. To the contrary, let's meet and clear the air," she said.
A footnote in the report, which was released last week by DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis, said that while there is no specific information that domestic right-wing terrorists are planning acts of violence, such acts could come from unnamed "rightwing extremists" concerned about illegal immigration, abortion, increasing federal power and restrictions on firearms -- and singled out returning war veterans as susceptible to recruitment.
"If there's one part of this report that I would rewrite ... it would be that footnote," Napolitano said.
Napolitano defended the report Wednesday, saying it is part of an ongoing series of assessments to provide information to state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies on "violent radicalization" in the United States.
"Let me be clear: we monitor the risks of violent extremism taking root here in the United States," Napolitano said in a statement. "We don't have the luxury of focusing our efforts on one group; we must protect the country from terrorism whether foreign or homegrown, and regardless of the ideology that motivates its violence."
Veterans groups like the American Legion and Vets for Freedom quickly criticized the report, which described disgruntled veterans as coveted recruits for group looking for "combat skills and experience."
In a letter to Napolitano on Tuesday, American Legion National Commander David Rehbein blasted the report as incomplete and politically-biased.
"The American Legion is well aware and horrified at the pain inflicted during the Oklahoma City bombing, but Timothy McVeigh was only one of more than 42 million veterans who have worn this nation's uniform during wartime," Rehbein wrote. "To continue to use McVeigh as an example of the stereotypical 'disgruntled military veteran' is unfair as using Osama bin Laden as the sole example of Islam."
Napolitano acknowledged Rehbein's letter on Wednesday and said she plans to meet with him sometime next week.
Pete Hegseth, chairman of Vets for Freedom, said the report represents a "gross misunderstanding and oversimplification" of the country's service members.
"It's amazing they would single out veterans as a threat to this country," said Hegseth, an Army veteran who served in Iraq. "It underscores a pervasive belief that some are trying to spread that veterans are victims and we're coming home as damaged goods that need to be coddled instead of celebrated."
The report follows a similar DHS assessment released in January that detailed left-wing threats, focusing on cyberattacks and radical "eco-terrorist" groups like Earth Liberation Front, accused of firebombing construction sites, logging companies, car dealerships and food science labs. The report noted that left-wing extremists prefer economic damage to get their message across.
"Their leftwing assessment identifies actual terrorist organizations, like the Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front," House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said Wednesday. "The rightwing report uses broad generalizations about veterans, pro-life groups, federalists and supporters of gun rights. That's like saying if you love puppies, you might be susceptible to recruitment by the Animal Liberation Front. It is ridiculous and deeply offensive to millions of Americans."

That sucking sound you hear is coming from the White House

And the world’s greatest nation slides further into the crapper…
The Obama White House Circus, hereafter known as “The Obamanation” has nominated a man to be the main legal advisor at the State Department who will lead this country to yet undiscovered depths of self-hating crapulence.

He has all the criteria to be a part of the current “cabal of idiocy”:
1. Elitist Left Wing-East Coast education (Hopkins Prep School, Harvard, Oxford (just like ‘ol Bubba Clinton) and Harvard Law)
2. Leftist friends and mentors (clerked for Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, who authored Roe Vs. Wade and who regularly french kissed radical lawyer William Kunstler)
3. Previous service in the most corrupt, shameful Administration since Grant was President, The Clinton Administration.
4. Hatred of America and the principles of our Founding Fathers.
Was that last one too harsh? Well, let’s look at the facts of the case.

Koh also advocates a "transnational legal process" and has criticized the U.S. for its failure to "obey global norms."
What does that mean? Well, Mr. Koh thinks we would be better off following the same laws as countries like England (no firearms), Germany (no freedom of speech), or maybe even Sharia law where you can kill your wife for cheating on you, or stone your daughter to death for kissing a boy. That, my friends, is what “transnational legal process” means.

In an article published in the Berkeley Journal of International Law in 2004, Koh wrote, "What role can transnational legal process play in affecting the behavior of several nations whose disobedience with international law has attracted global attention after September 11th -- most prominently, North Korea, Iraq and our own country, the United States of America? For shorthand purposes, I will call these countries 'the axis of disobedience.'"

This liberal buttlick just compared our country to North Korea and Iraq. I hope to meet Harold Koh someday, just to remind him of the brave men and women who gave their lives up so he could grow up with overindulgent parents and their liberal hippie friends in Boston and bad mouth the very country that made it possible for him to climb so far, so fast.

And in a Stanford Law Review article published in May 2003, Koh wrote that supporters of the International Criminal Court should bring pressure to bear on U.S. opinion "with an eye toward persuading U.S. officials that the ICC actually serves U.S. interests."

Do you know anything about the International Criminal Court? Probably not since the US of A told it to eat the corn out of our star-spangled crap back in 2002. Well, here is the crux of the problem from the last source of intellegent news in America, Wikipedia:

Article 5 of the Rome Statute grants the court jurisdiction over four groups of crimes, which it refers to as the “most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole”: the crime of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. The statute defines each of these crimes except for aggression: it provides that the court will not exercise its jurisdiction over the crime of aggression until such time as the states parties agree on a definition of the crime and set out the conditions under which it may be prosecuted.
Many states wanted to add terrorism and drug trafficking to the list of crimes covered by the Rome Statute; however, the states were unable to agree on a definition for terrorism and it was decided not to include drug trafficking as this might overwhelm the court's limited resources.[3] India lobbied to have the use of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction included as war crimes but this move was also defeated.[31] India has expressed concern that “the Statute of the ICC lays down, by clear implication, that the use of weapons of mass destruction is not a war crime. This is an extraordinary message to send to the international community.”
Some commentators have argued that the Rome Statute defines crimes too broadly or too vaguely. For example, China has argued that the definition of ‘war crimes’ goes beyond that accepted under customary international law.

So, the ICC is basically a bunch of suck-ass European countries like France, Serbia and Switzerland, tin-pot African mudholes such as Burkina Faso and Liberia, bass-ackward South and Central American countries like Mexico and Venezuala and of course Mongolia and Australia. And we, the greatest country on earth, the country that everyone loves to hate, will have to let these 3rd rate suck-tatorships judge American citizens for whatever they decide is a crime. Oh yea, except for terrorism and drug trafficking. Those aren’t big deals, right? This is the one court of law in the world that would not be able to convict Osama Bin Laden, yet we are supposed to cuddle up and suck at the teat of “Globalism”.

A March 21, 2007, blog posting on National Review's Web site shows a letter written by New York attorney Steven J. Stein to Koh, challenging Koh for supposedly saying during a speech to the Yale Club of Greenwich that year that Islamic law could apply to disputes in U.S. courts.

And, Mr. Koh thinks Sahria Law is ok. Not familiar with Sharia Law? Well, let me intelligenate you. Sharia is a complex set of laws, drawn from the Koran. Now, do we as Americans draw our law from the bible? No, although the bible touches on many of the same principles as American Law, such as not stealing, not killing, etc, our laws are not drawn from it. Neither are the drawn from the Book of Mormon, the Bhagavad Gita, The Satanic Bible or the entertaining writings of J.K. Rowling. However, if Mr. Koh has his way, we will have to submit IN COURT to the belief system of a religious group. Here, as an example, are the Sharia laws governing marriage:

Requirements for Islamic Marriages:
These are guidelines; Islamic law on divorce is different depending on the school of thought.[119]
The man who is not currently a fornicator can only marry a woman who is not currently a fornicatress or a chaste woman from the people of the Book.
The woman who is not currently a fornicatress can only marry a man who is not currently a fornicator.
The fornicator can only marry a fornicatress – and vice versa.
The Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim man.
The guardian may choose a suitable partner for a virgin girl, but the girl is free to contest and has the right to say 'no'.
The guardian cannot marry the divorced woman or the widow if she didn't ask to be married.
It is obligatory for a man to give bride wealth (gifts) to the woman he marries – "Do not marry unless you give your wife something that is her right."[119]
A woman who wishes to be divorced usually needs the consent of her husband. However, most schools allow her to obtain a divorce without her husband's consent if she can show the judge that her husband is impotent. If the husband consents she does not have to pay back the dower.[citation needed]
Men have the right of unilateral divorce. A divorce is effective when the man tells his wife that he is divorcing her. At this point the husband must pay the wife the "delayed" component of the dower.
A divorced woman of reproductive age must wait four months and ten days before marrying again to ensure that she is not pregnant. Her ex-husband should support her financially during this period.[citation needed]
If a man divorces his wife three times, he can no longer marry her again unless she marries another man, and if they got divorced (only in a way that this divorce is not intended for the woman to re-marry her first husband) the woman could re-marry her first husband.[citation needed]

I won’t even start about what you can and can’t eat. Let’s just say this; bacon is a crime!

So, President Obama and the rest of “The Obamanation” have found the missing tool in their toolbox. And Harold Koh will play his part. Geithner will move us towards a shared currency with the other failed economic systems in the world, Hillary will make us weak in the eyes of our enemies, Holder will disarm us so resistance is futile and Koh will make sure we no longer have to protection of the greatest legal system in the world.

America has never faced darker days.

From Fox News- President Obama's nominee to be the State Department's legal adviser has ignited a fury among conservative critics who say his views are a threat to American democracy -- an accusation the White House on Tuesday called "outrageous" and "completely baseless."
Former Clinton administration official Harold Koh, who has been dean of the Yale Law School since 2004, once wrote that the U.S. was part of an "axis of disobedience" with North Korea and Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Koh also has long held that the U.S. should accept international law when deliberating cases at home.
Obama nominated Koh on March 23 to become the State Department's legal adviser -- an appointment that, if confirmed by the Senate, will give Koh far-reaching influence over the extent to which international norms affect U.S. law.
"This is not a desk job. This guy will be the face of American international law around the world," said Steven Gross, legal expert and fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
"The top legal adviser at State travels extensively and is involved in international legal negotiations, treaties and in major United Nations conferences.
"The president should have the right to choose the most conservative or liberal legal advisers to give them advice, but this is much more than that. The concern is that he cares as much about -- if not more about -- international law and integrating that into the American judicial system than he does about protecting American prerogatives and American sovereignty," Gross said.
The White House vehemently defended Koh's nomination on Tuesday, telling FOXNews.com that he is "one of the most respected members of the legal community."
Koh "earned wide bipartisan praise as assistant secretary of state and he's universally respected by legal scholars," White House spokesman Reid Cherlin told FOXNews.com. "The president looks forward to working with him at the State Department. He's a strong believer in the Constitution, and the president nominated him because of his firm defense of the Constitution."
State Department spokesman Gordon Duguid also offered praise for Obama's nominee.
"Dean Koh is universally respected for his legal scholarship and previously served as an assistant secretary of state -- and was praised for his work by Republicans and Democrats alike," Duguid said. "President Obama and Secretary Clinton strongly believe he's the right person for the job."
Koh, like Obama, is a strong opponent of the Iraq war and the use of harsh interrogation techniques that some consider torture. He has fiercely criticized former President George W. Bush for invading Iraq in 2003 and has accused the Bush administration of trying to "block public release of more Abu Ghraib type pictures."
"We should resist the claim that a War on Terror permits the commander in chief's power to be expanded into a wanton power to act as torturer in chief," Koh wrote in an article published in May 2006 in the Indiana Law Journal.
Koh also advocates a "transnational legal process" and has criticized the U.S. for its failure to "obey global norms."
In an article published in the Berkeley Journal of International Law in 2004, Koh wrote, "What role can transnational legal process play in affecting the behavior of several nations whose disobedience with international law has attracted global attention after September 11th -- most prominently, North Korea, Iraq and our own country, the United States of America? For shorthand purposes, I will call these countries 'the axis of disobedience.'"
And in a Stanford Law Review article published in May 2003, Koh wrote that supporters of the International Criminal Court should bring pressure to bear on U.S. opinion "with an eye toward persuading U.S. officials that the ICC actually serves U.S. interests."
A March 21, 2007, blog posting on National Review's Web site shows a letter written by New York attorney Steven J. Stein to Koh, challenging Koh for supposedly saying during a speech to the Yale Club of Greenwich that year that Islamic law could apply to disputes in U.S. courts.
"In your discussion of 'global law' I recall at least one favorable reference to 'Sharia,' among other foreign laws that could, in an appropriate instance (according to you) govern a controversy in a federal or state court in the U.S.," Stein wrote in his letter addressed to Koh.
Cherlin said Stein's version of events is "not accurate," and that the host of the event in question disputed the account. Stein could not be reached for comment.
Koh's critics insist his legal views undermine the U.S. Constitution and American sovereignty.
John Fonte, senior fellow and director of the Center for American Common Culture at the Hudson Institute, told FOXNews.com that Koh's views have "a very big practical effect on American foreign policy and on American democracy.
"This is international imperialism. Under Koh's plan, the Constitution would become secondary and international law would take precedence regardless of what Americans said about the matter."
Supporters tout Koh as a leading expert on public and private international law, national security law and human rights.
He served as assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor from 1998 to 2001, and previously had served on the secretary of state's Advisory Committee on Public International Law. He has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court and testified before Congress dozens of times, and he's received more than 30 awards for his human rights work, according to Yale's Web site.
Cherlin described Koh as "an American success story." (His brother, Howard Koh, was tapped by the president two days later for a position in the Health and Human Services Department.)
"He's the son of immigrants. He's a dedicated teacher and professor, and does great work. We don't have any question whatsoever about any of these issues raised by critics who are sworn opponents of the administration," said Cherlin, who said the conservative critics' opposition was "ideologically driven."
