Black Christians Must Decide Between Jesus Christ and Barack Obama!


By John W. Lillpop


Although the liberal media generally dismiss devout Christian faith as a product of right-wing Republican extremists, the fact is that African-Americans are among the most spiritually-faithful Christians in America.

The enigma is that African-Americans have been, in large measure, manacled to the Democrat Party in spite of the anti-religion and pro-gay agenda of that party.

Barack Obama’s rise to national prominence has added to Democrats’ monopoly hold on blacks, despite Obama’s ultra-liberal views.

However, Obama’s recent usurping of DOMA and other actions which serve to coddle the gay community may finally challenge the lock-in-step allegiance of blacks to all things Democrat.

As reported at the reference, in part:


WASHINGTON, DC - A coalition of 34,000 black churches is blasting President Barack Obama's decision to stop defending the federal law that bans recognition of gay marriage.

The Rev. Anthony Evans, who heads the National Black Church Initiative, says Obama "has violated the Christian faith" by failing to uphold Jesus' teaching that marriage is between a man and a woman.

The Justice Department announced Wednesday that, at Obama's direction, it would not defend the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act in a court case where it's being challenged.

As a result, Evans says black churches must "reassess their extraordinary support for him."

Wow!

Black churches to reassess their extraordinary support for Obama and, by extension, the Democrat Party. Now THAT is breaking news, and long over due in my opinion!

Might this represent the beginnings of a second Emancipation to free blacks from the slavery of liberalism which runs counter to their spiritual beliefs in so many ways?

Why not a Million-person March on Washington to protest Obama’s anti-Christian behavior?

Indeed, African-Americans need to answer this question truthfully: Is our allegiance to Jesus Christ or Barack Obama?

Has Allah Forsaken Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?

By John W. Lillpop


Great news rarely comes from the Islamic Republic of Iran; however, the civilized world needs to pause and give special thanks to Allah, God, Buddha, or what higher power is responsible for the major set back to Iran’s nuclear program.

As reported in part at the reference:

In a major setback to Iran's nuclear program, technicians will have to unload fuel from the country's first atomic power plant because of an unspecified safety concern, a senior government official said.

The vague explanation raised questions about whether the mysterious computer worm known as Stuxnet might have caused more damage at the Bushehr plant than previously acknowledged. Other explanations are possible for unloading the fuel rods from the reactor core of the newly completed plant, including routine technical difficulties.

While the exact reason behind the fuel's removal is unclear, the admission is seen as a major embarrassment for Tehran because it has touted Bushehr —Iran's first atomic power plant — as its showcase nuclear facility and sees it as a source of national pride. When the Islamic Republic began loading the fuel just four months ago, Iranian officials celebrated the achievement.

The fact that Iran is being blocked from gaining nukes is terrific news—nearly as heart warming as the humiliation and disgrace heaped upon Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad!

Obama to Declare Constitution Unconstitutional?

By John W. Lillpop


OK, granted that conservatives are not always the sharpest knives in the drawer. We right-wingers sometimes have difficulty grasping the deep, elusive logic of intellectual elitists like Barack Obama when it comes to great and serious questions concerning the U.S. Constitution.

For example, we find it difficult to understand how it is that man who invented ObamaCare, which has been ruled unconstitutional by two separate courts, feels qualified to unilaterally decide that the Defense of Marriage Act, law of the land for 15 years, is suddenly unconstitutional, thereby freeing himself from the responsibility to defend said law in fulfillment of his Oath of Office.

What next, Mr. President?

According to unreliable sources, it appears that President Obama will make a major announcement that will CHANGE everything in America.

The gist of that announcement: The U.S. Constitution is unconstitutional because women and racial, sexual preference, and religious minorities were all under represented in 1776.

Indeed, without any openly men or transgender people involved in the crafting of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, all such documents must be declared null and void.

Other excluded minorities include women, terrorists, and illegal aliens. Without factoring in the wishes and needs of terrorists and illegal aliens how in the world can our democracy function?

The answer, of course, is that it cannot, which is why Obama will soon declare the Constitution itself unconstitutional!

Of course, if Obama really gave a tinker’s dam about the Constitution, he would scrap his outrageous law suit against the state of Arizona for protecting its citizens from invaders.

He would move to scrap ObamaCare, which was rammed down the throats of unwilling Americans with legislative sleight of hands and bribery when the votes were not there to follow the rules.

He would understand that forcing citizens to purchase health care insurance, or face the ravages of the IRS, is barbaric and unconstitutional.

He would understand that the Constitution is very specific when it comes to the eligibility of any person to serve as president. Thus, he would make every effort to be completely honest and transparent with the American people concerning questions about his own eligibility.

He would understand that the Constitution sets forth provisions for separation of powers, meant to assure that the Executive Branch is accountable to the people through the oversight function performed by Congress.

He would understand that installation of stealth Czars in order to circumvent Congressional oversight is a repudiation of the Constitution.

He would understand that voter intimidation by the New Black Panther Party is not acceptable simply because the intimidated are not people of color.

He would understand that actions taken to grant rights reserved for citizens to terrorists are anti-American acts of treason.

He would understand that the Constitution requires the president to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws so as to protect the American people.

He would understand that it is the president’s Constitutional obligation to serve as America’s Commander-in-Chief, which requires him to use war powers prudently to defend the American people, rather than using those powers as political footballs.

Above all else, if he were genuine, President Obama would understand that the will of the people should be the first priority for any political entity wishing to govern, and that that applies to taxes, illegal invasions, health care, terrorists, and all major issues of the day.

The fact is that Barack Obama views the Constitution as an impediment to his Marxist agenda.

He MUST be stopped.

Jihad from Texas?

By John W. Lillpop


Who would have thought that South Plains College near Lubbock, Texas would be a veritable breeding ground for terrorists with violent jihad on their minds?

Right in W.’s backyard for heavens sake?

Must be some red-neck, white malcontent still smarting from the election of an African-American to the presidency, right?

What else would one expect from the town that the late country-music star Waylon Jennings made famous?

Oops!

Turns out that the terrorist suspect labors under the moniker of Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari. A citizen of Saudi Arabia this lad of 20, and a devout subscriber to the Religion of Peace.

This fellow never heard of Waylon Jennings or Willie Nelson. Obviously not an American.

Surprise, surprise!

As reported in part at the reference:


Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari, 20, a citizen of Saudi Arabia and resident of Lubbock, Texas, was arrested late yesterday by FBI agents in Texas on a federal charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction in connection with his alleged purchase of chemicals and equipment necessary to make an improvised explosive device (IED) and his research of potential U.S. targets.



Aldawsari, who was lawfully admitted into the United States in 2008 on a student visa and is enrolled at South Plains College near Lubbock, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.

According to the affidavit filed in support of the complaint, Aldawsari has been researching online how to construct an IED using several chemicals as ingredients. He has also acquired or taken a substantial step toward acquiring most of the ingredients and equipment necessary to construct an IED and he has conducted online research of several potential U.S. targets, the affidavit alleges. In addition, he has allegedly described his desire for violent jihad and martyrdom in blog postings and a personal journal.


The affidavit alleges that on Feb. 1, 2011, a chemical supplier reported to the FBI a suspicious attempted purchase of concentrated phenol by a man identifying himself as Khalid Aldawsari. According to the affidavit, phenol is a toxic chemical with legitimate uses, but can also be used to make the explosive trinitrophenol, also known as T.N.P., or picric acid. The affidavit alleges that other ingredients typically used with phenol to make picric acid, or T.N.P., are concentrated sulfuric and nitric acids.”


Hmm.Me thinks that we have a real problem here!

That is, what caused the chemical supplier to become suspicious?


Judging from Aldawsari’s photo, he is obviously a young man from the Middle East. His name confirms the middle-east connection.

But why should a young man be reported to the FBI simply because he looks a certain way and has a name that clearly identifies him as a Muslim? So what if he is procuring enough goodies to move Lubbock into Oklahoma?

The piercing question: Is Aldawsari a victim of racial profiling by some whacked-out yokel in Lubbock, Texas?

Fret not, Mr. Aldawsari, once the Lubbock ACLU learns of your plight, you will have some of the brightest legal minds in the world on your side.

In the meantime, just lay low and stop with the jihad crap!

Is America Next?


















By John W. Lillpop


As nation after nation confronts hundreds of thousands of angry citizens on the streets, one would be naïve not to ask, “Is American Next?”

While it is true that President Obama has not been in power for 30 or 40 years like other tyrants for whom the roosters are now coming home, the two plus years that he has been in office seem like 40 years.

Indeed, when it comes to incompetence, Obama has managed to accumulate 40 years worth in just over twenty-five months.

Obama’s tenure has given Americans plenty of issues to protest about including:

( )Out of control spending and soaring deficits;

( )Unacceptably high unemployment;

( )Imposition of socialized medicine which is opposed by a majority of citizens;

( )Failure of government to secure our borders and enforce immigration laws, leading to invasion by millions of illegal aliens that cost taxpayers more than $100 billion a year, and

( )An administration and Congress that blatantly ignores the will of the people.

How much more abuse and tyranny will the American people tolerate before Washington D.C. erupts into protests akin to those in Cairo? Or Worse?

Should DC Democrats Follow Lead of Wisconsin Moon Bats?

By John W. Lillpop


The self-imposed exile of Wisconsin Democrats to Illinois is providing a vital lesson that deserves serious consideration by Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and all other leftists squatting in Washington, D.C.

That is, once the people’s money runs out and traditional standards for morality and decency have been replaced by mindless concerns about political correctness, diversity, and multiculturalism, there is no longer any need for the Democrat Party or those who brand themselves as Democrats.

Indeed, the migration of 14 state Senators to Illinois augers extremely well for the good people of Wisconsin who stand to enjoy dramatic improvements in their economy, schools, health care, tax system, and other institutions in which state government necessarily plays a role.

Furthermore, under the excellent leadership of Governor Walker, Wisconsin looks to be the leader in a national movement to rein in corrupt, greedy government labor unions.

Unrealistic and unsustainable union demands for pensions and other benefits are driving cities all across America into bankruptcy. So far, Governor Walker is one of few state governors willing to stand up and declare “Enough Is Enough!”

So does the Wisconsin “crisis” provide a teaching opportunity for Washington Democrats?

Heck yes, says I.

In fact, given the disaster created by the Marxist trio of Obama-Reid-Pelosi, the time is perfect for Democrats to get the hell out of town and let Republicans clean up the mess.

And where should the Dems go?

How about Mexico? There are millions of needy Mexicans there, and they all speak Spanish. A veritable dream land for liberal malcontents!

Pity there is no money there to waste away, though!

Adios, Democrats. Do not bother to write.

Happy President’s Day? Don’t Be Silly!

By John W. Lillpop


Commensurate with the events of January 20, 2009 when control and command over the greatest nation in human history was ceded to an inexperienced community organizer and staunch Marxist, whom was born God only knows where, President’s Day has been a farcical reminder of just how gullible the American people can be

The so-called “holiday” also serves as an annual affirmation of just how vulnerable our blessed Democracy is to manipulation by those who may not have the best interests of our nation at heart.

Indeed, Barack Obama exploited white liberal guilt, rampant African-American racism, $750 million dollars, a legion of ACORN volunteers expert in voter fraud, and a complicit media working at the behest of the Democrat Party to hijack the democratic process and the U.S. Presidency.

The results of the Obama conquest of American politics were predictable and have been realized: Diminished American influence and respect all across the globe; promulgation of unconstitutional mandates involving socialized medicine; soaring unemployment; out-of-control spending and devastating deficits; failure to address the nation’s energy needs, thereby making the nation more dependent on the middle east at a time when that region of the world is on the verge of political collapse and utter instability, and lack of trustworthiness and transparency, i.e., a mockery of the “Honest and Open Government” slogan promised by candidate Obama.

In other words, there is absolutely no reason to celebrate President’s Day given the failed poser now in power.

Happy Presidents Day? Don’t Be Silly!

U.S. Not At War with Islam? Iran’s Supreme Leader Begs to Differ!

By John W. Lillpop


President Obama and other deluded lefties mired in denial continue to insist that America is not, and never will be, at war with Islam.

That naive notion may find traction with spaced-out liberals who worship at the altar of diversity, inclusion, and tolerance, the same dim bulbs who actually believe that all cultures and religions are equal.

However, it most certainly does NOT resonate with Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said the following( See reference):


"The main problem in the Muslim world is the presence of the United States. It is the biggest problem. We need to address that," he (Khamenei,) told a gathering of Shiite and Sunni scholars in Tehran for an international conference on Islam.

"It is necessary to remove the US from the Islamic world," the all-powerful cleric and Islamic republic's commander-in-chief said, adding that the country's arch-foe was currently weak.

“Khamenei urged Muslims worldwide to preserve the "people's movement in Egypt," saying it was the duty of both the people and dignitaries of Arab nations and the entire Islamic community.

“He reiterated that the Arab revolts were "Islamic" and must be consolidated.”

Obama-like scholars will argue that, although Islam is at war with America, it is not necessarily true that America is at war with Islam.

That logic may have merit given Obama’s blind eye to the truth and stubborn refusal to face reality!

Is Story About “Phony" Wisconsin Budget Crisis Itself False?

By John W. Lillpop


Liberals in Wisconsin are in a snit about the negative national publicity generated by 14 dopey Democrats who fled the state in order to circumvent the legislative process, the rule of law, and other irritations associated with public service in a Democracy.

Curious minds now want to know: Did the awful negative publicity drive Wisconsin ding bats to fabricate a story which alleges that Governor Walker created a “phony” budget crisis in order to bust labor unions?

Rachel Maddow, host at MSNBC, reportedly repeated the story on the air, which caused ding bats all across the state to celebrate an apparent justification for the zany actions of the 14 bozos hiding in Illinois.

Unfortunately for the liberal-warped Maddow, the story that she was so anious to broadcast may, in fact, be fabricated.

As reported at the reference, in part:


“It has taken hold with conviction: the idea that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker ginned up a phony budget crisis to justify his bold bid to strip state employees of most bargaining rights and cut their benefits.

Liberal MSNBC talk show host Rachel Maddow joined in Feb. 17, accusing Walker of manipulating the situation for political gain.

"Despite what you may have heard about Wisconsin’s finances, the state is on track to have a budget surplus this year," she said. "I am not kidding."

She added a kicker that is also making the rounds: Walker and fellow Republicans in the Legislature this year gave away $140 million in business tax breaks -- so if there is a deficit projected of $137 million, they created it.

Maddow and others making the claim all cite the same source for their information -- a Jan. 31, 2011 memo prepared by Robert Lang, the director of the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau.

It includes this line: "Our analysis indicates a general fund gross balance of $121.4 million and a net balance of $56.4 million."

We were curious about claims of a surplus based on the fiscal bureau memo.

In writing it when it was released, reporters from the Journal Sentinel and Associated Press had put the shortfall at between $78 million and $340 million. That’s the projection for the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 2011.

Walker himself has settled on $137 million as the deficit figure, a number reporters have adopted as shorthand.

We re-read the fiscal bureau memo, talked to Lang, consulted reporter Jason Stein of the Journal Sentinel’s Madison Bureau, read various news accounts and examined the issue in detail.

Our conclusion: Maddow and the others are wrong.

There is, indeed, a projected deficit that required attention, and Walker and GOP lawmakers did not create it.

More on that second point in a bit.

The confusion, it appears, stems from a section in Lang’s memo that -- read on its own -- does project a $121 million surplus in the state’s general fund as of June 30, 2011.

But the remainder of the routine memo -- consider it the fine print -- outlines $258 million in unpaid bills or expected shortfalls in programs such as Medicaid services for the needy ($174 million alone), the public defender’s office and corrections. Additionally, the state owes Minnesota $58.7 million under a discontinued tax reciprocity deal.

The result, by our math and Lang’s, is the $137 million shortfall.

Meanwhile, what about Maddow’s claim -- also repeated across the liberal blogosphere -- that Walker’s tax-cut bills approved in January are responsible for the $137 million deficit?

Lang’s fiscal bureau report and news accounts addressed that issue as well.

The tax cuts will cost the state a projected $140 million in tax revenue --but not until the next two-year budget, from July 2011 to June 2013. The cuts are not even in effect yet, so they cannot be part of the current problem.

Here’s the bottom line:

We rate Maddow’s take False.”

Take THAT, Rachel Maddow and all the leftist moon bats that were celebrating their "gotcha" moment, when they are the ones with "gotcha" egg on their faces!

Jimmy Carter's Soothing Words About the Muslim Brotherhood

By John W. Lillpop


Losing sleep over fears that Egypt may fall into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood, those wretched purveyors of radical Islam?

Relax, fellow patriots.

A calming voice from the past is making a valiant attempt to subdue the fear of all things Muslim, a phenomenon which creates panic and shock among otherwise intelligent Americans.

From whence come the soothing words? And of what pedigree is he that would soothe?

As it turns out, the soothing agent is none other than James Earl Carter, 39th President of these United States.

Known far and wide as the “worst president” of the 20th century, Carter retains sufficient arrogance and remains in enough denial to believe that 1)His opinions have tangible value to those charged with protecting the vital interests of the United States, and 2)With the exception of his wife and daughter, there are Americans who actually give a tinker’s dam about what this dried up prune has to say about the middle east, or anything else for that matter.

Carter’s latest foray into issues about which he should remain mute involves the revolution in Egypt and the likelihood that the Muslim Brotherhood will play a significant role in the formation of a new government.

Said the man who was U.S. President when Iran fell to Islamic revolutionaries in 1979:

"I think the Muslim Brotherhood is not anything to be afraid of in the upcoming (Egyptian) political situation and the evolution I see as most likely. They will be subsumed in the overwhelming demonstration of desire for freedom and true democracy."

See Reference.

Carter’s insular remarks were made during a seminar at LBJ Library on February 17, 2011.

The big question: Just what is it about Islamafascism that finds so much favor in the hearts and minds of left-wing eccentrics like Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter?

Running “FROM” Office in Wisconsin

By John W. Lillpop



Everyone has heard the expression “running for office,” in reference to a politician seeking elective office.

However, 14 pathetic Democrats in Wisconsin have ushered in a new concept called “Running FROM Office,” which refers to their cowardly behavior in dealing with legislation they oppose.

This disgraceful behavior should give pause to any Wisconsin citizen who actually voted for any of these despicable clowns, all of whom have thumbed their noses at democratic principles, rule of law, and the will of the people.

As reported at the reference in part:

Democrats on the run in Wisconsin avoided state troopers Friday and threatened to stay in hiding for weeks, potentially paralyzing a state government they no longer control.

The party's stand against balancing the state's budget by cutting the pay, benefits and collective bargaining rights of public workers is the boldest action yet by Democrats to push back against last fall's GOP wave.

The 14 Senate Democrats left the state Thursday, delaying action in that chamber on a sweeping anti-union bill. Sen. Jon Erpenbach, who was among those who fled, said Friday that the group was prepared to be away for weeks, although he would like the standoff to end as soon as possible.”

This abhorrent behavior will surely disrupt the state at a time when stability and decorum is called for.

Even worse is the message that will be sent to youth including those who may be considering a career in government or politics.

That warped message being: Democracy is OK as long as you are in power and able to have your way. It, Democracy, is farcical when those with views contrary to yours are calling the shots.

Is that the sort of lesson that will help Wisconsin youth cope in a world where one cannot expect to always have his or her way?

Open Letter to Speaker Boehner: A Common Sense “Investment” in America

Speaker John Boehner
Office of the Speaker
H-232 The Capitol
Washington, DC 20515

Subject: A Common Sense “Investment” in America


Dear Speaker Boehner:

Given the unprecedented debt facing our nation, it is obvious that putting our financial house in order will require sacrifice from virtually all Americans. We understand that there are no simple, painless solutions.

Although spending cuts will impact scores of millions of American citizens, there is an outrageous expense that benefits foreign invaders, those with no legal or moral basis for being here.

I refer to many millions of illegal aliens who have ignored our borders and immigration laws.

As documented in Reference 1, illegal aliens cost American taxpayers $113 billion a year.

Again, illegal aliens, cost American taxpayers $113 billion a year.

As a taxpaying citizen, I wonder why politicians from both sides of the aisle refuse to target this wasteful expense, particularly when our nation is mired in deep financial crisis?

Surely, $113 billion a year cannot be too paltry an amount to summon the attention of those responsible for eradicating wasteful spending?

Clearly, the American people would benefit enormously if the federal government would simply enforce existing laws and take action, through deportations, to return illegal aliens to their nations of origin.

In the past, skeptics have argued that mass deportations would be too costly.

However, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs, Nelson Peacock, responding to request from several U.S. Senators, recently (December 3, 2010) wrote the following:

“Our conservative estimate suggests that ICE would require a budget of more than $135 billion to apprehend, detain and remove the nation’s entire illegal immigrant population.”


See reference 2 for the complete statement.

Thus, an investment of $135 billion dollars would yield a savings of $113 billion a year.

Over a period of ten years, that would result in more than $1 trillion dollars for American citizens.

In addition, millions of jobs now filled by illegals would be available for unemployed America citizens, and homeland security would be strengthened by removing individuals about whom little or nothing is known, including possible ties to terrorists.

I know that you are committed to eliminating wasteful spending, reducing the federal deficit, creating jobs for Americans, and assuring that our homeland is safe and secure.

Therefore, I respectfully request that you apply your influence and power to require that illegal aliens be deported, thereby freeing America from the extreme financial, employment, and security dangers attendant with a huge population of illegals.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

John W. Lillpop
San Jose, CA

Keeping Abreast of Michelle Obama's Nanny Attacks: Should Breast Feeding Be Mandantory?

By John W. Lillpop


First lady Michelle Obama apparently has far too much time on her unspoiled hands, inevitable when one has 30 or more servants to help meet the demands of a family of four.

That’s nearly 8 hand maidens per family member, and a clear indication that the austerity being forced down the throats of most Americans has yet to disturb elitists occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Unfortunately for minimal-government- loving Americans, Michelle Obama (MO) has chosen to fill her idle time with nanny activism, which seeks to have government meddle in issues traditionally (and best) left to the mums and dads of America.

Issues like what restaurants can and cannot serve, dictating menus for schools, and other intrusions of elitist noses into areas where such noses are most unwelcome!

Which fosters the question: Why in Hades can’t MO use the late Lady Bird Johnson as a role model?

You know, plant flowers, trees, and grass all across America, rather than promoting some hideous Marxist invasion into what and how much Americans eat?

MO’s latest Nanny attack concerns the delicate subject of breast feeding and, surprisingly, the tax implications thereof.

As reported at the reference, in part:

First lady Michelle Obama will be speaking out to remove barriers to breastfeeding, Politics Daily has learned, throwing the spotlight on nursing as a way to reduce childhood obesity.

This comes as the Obama administration in the past year has made several moves to encourage breastfeeding -- including a push for more flexible workplace rules and an Internal Revenue Service ruling on Thursday that breast pumps and other nursing supplies qualify for tax breaks.

Mrs. Obama -- who has spoken in public about nursing her youngest daughter, Sasha -- is going to tread carefully in what might be a sensitive area for some women -- and not use her bully pulpit to directly ask more women to breast feed.

"Breastfeeding is a very personal choice for every woman," Kristina Schake, Mrs. Obama's communications chief, told Politics Daily. "We are trying to make it easier for those who choose to do it."

“Breastfeeding is a very personal choice,” you say?

Hmm.

If so, why in the hell does America need any interference whatsoever from Michelle Obama?

What next?

A 3,000 page companion bill to ObamaCare requiring that women breast feed their babies or face fines and the wrath of chubby IRS forced to survive on pabulum and pasteurized milk as babies?

Lord knows there will be plenty of IRS agents with lots of free time on their hands once ObamaCare is officially tossed into the garbage heap.

On that glorious day, 16,000 IRS agents, employed to enforce ObamaCare, will be immediately available for harassing women with the temerity (AKA, modesty) to expose their breasts only under the most discreet circumstances, and certainly not in response to some hair-brained Marxist scheme pushed by a control freak without a clue!

In other words: Stifle, MO!

Illegals Cost Taxpayers $113 Billion a Year: Why Does Nobody Give a Damn?

By John W. Lillpop


President Obama dumped a real dilly on Congress for Valentine’s Day. That being a $3.73 trillion dollar budget that actually increases the deficit in 2012, but which attacks the problem with tax increases later on.

Tax increases? During a recession?

Obama’s proposal confirms that the president remains stuck in the quagmire of a “learning curve” gone amuck. It also proves that his short-term memory is wonky as well.

Does the date November 2, 2010 mean anything to you, sir?

What about the word “shellacking” ? Ring any bells?

While Obama foolishly proposes to tax America to ruin, Republican gladiators in the U.S. House, led by the ever-weepy John Boehner, scramble frantically to find 35-60 billion dollars to fulfill campaign pledges to cut spending.

Given the chaotic state of the nation’s finances, one would think one of the newly ordained Tea Party warriors would take note of the fact that America shells out more than $100 billion per year (after taxes) to support illegal aliens.

Invading criminals who should not even be here cost American taxpayers more than $100 billion a year! HELLO!

Details concerning this outrage can be found at reference 1, which is summarized, in part, herewith:

“(Washington, D.C July 6, 2010) A new study released today by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates that illegal immigration now costs federal and local taxpayers $113 billion a year. The report, The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on U.S. Taxpayers, is the most comprehensive analysis of how much the estimated 13 million illegal aliens and their U.S.-born children cost federal, state and local governments.

The cost estimates are based on an extensive analysis of federal, state and local spending data. The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on U.S. Taxpayers examines dozens of government programs that are available to illegal aliens and their U.S.-born children, both legally and fraudulently. The report provides detailed analysis of the impact of illegal immigration on education, health care, law enforcement and justice, public assistance, and other government programs.

The report also accounts for taxes paid by illegal aliens about $13 billion a year, resulting in a net cost to taxpayers of about $100 billion. However, the study notes that government at all levels would likely have realized significantly greater revenues if jobs held by illegal aliens had been filled by legal U.S. residents instead.”


This grim news is made all of the more gloomy by a report (Reference 2) which documents the fact that illegal aliens cost taxpayers $600 million a year in Los Angeles County alone!

How in the world can any elected official who claims to be interested in fiscal responsibility blatantly ignore the savings that could be realized by enforcing existing laws and deporting illegal aliens?

Of a Genius IQ, “Learning Curves,” and Proper Respect

By John W. Lillpop

When Barack Obama first made known his lofty designs on the U.S. presidency, his qualifications were immediately challenged by those dedicated to substance rather than style.

Among the questions posed:

What relevant experience in his background qualifies Obama to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Commander-in-Chief of the world’s only superpower?

Has he a background in managing people and complex bureaucracies? Has he ever faced the rigors of meeting a payroll?

Does he understand the importance of private enterprise to the American economy, and the need to minimize government interference via taxes and regulation?

Does he realize that private enterprise, not government, creates jobs?

Other than being born in Kenya, what foreign experience does the silver-tongued Junior Senator from Illinois bring to the fray? (Satire)

Moreover, what accomplishments and achievements were in Obama’s background?

Alas, an objective review of Obama’s history revealed damn little real world experience that would help him function effectively as the most powerful man on earth.

Yes, he was a very gifted orator capable of sending thrills up and down the legs of the dimmer bulbs in the mainstream media. Yes, his speeches were adorned with high-sounding ideals and words of inspiration.

Yet, after Barack Obama stopped speaking one was left with the gut-wrenching question: Just what did he say? It sounded great, but what was the bottom- line message other than nebulous words about Hope and Change?

For the mainstream American media, Barack Obama’s eloquent speech was more than enough.

After all, Barack Obama:

1. Was not George W. Bush or anything like him., and

2. Was black and ultra-liberal.

Thus, did the media create the metaphysical phenomenon known as ObamaMania, which swept across America, Europe, and eventually all across the globe.

All the while, skeptical conservatives warned the unwary that Barack Obama had neither the experience nor love of America (and her values) required to serve as U.S. President.

Obama supporters dismissed nay-saying skeptics by arguing that any shortfall in practical experience would be more than compensated for by Obama’s sky-high IQ.

He was so damn smart, lefties said, that traditional measurements of qualifications simply did not apply.

Now, after Barack Obama has spent more than two years in office while creating a dismal legacy of incompetence, dithering, and indecisiveness, his most ardent supporters are changing their tune.

Oprah Winfrey, one of the president’s most loyal cheer- leaders and apologists, recently made headlines with her staunch defense of the Obama presidency.

Despite rampant unemployment, a still-crumbling economy, out-of-control deficit spending, the ObamaCare disaster, and failed leadership on a host of domestic and foreign issues, Oprah is standing by her man.

Indeed, Winfrey said the following on the MSNBC “Morning Joe” show last week:


"I feel that everybody has a learning curve, and I feel that the reason why I was willing to step out for him was because I believed in his integrity and I believed in his heart," the influential TV host said.


Learning curve?

Good grief, the presidency is supposed to be a “shovel-ready” position that requires one to step up to the plate and lead IMMEDIATELY.

You are supposed to know what you are doing. That is one of the requirements for the job. There is no “learning curve,” no On-the-Job Training.

Besides, Barack Obama came into office thinking that he knew best about all and that his mission was to change everything.

How can any sort of learning occur when one is devoted to destroying existing policies and institutions?

Winfrey also lamented the fact that President Obama does not receive what she perceives to be proper respect when she said that the presidency is a position that “holds a sense of authority and governance over us all,” and that “even if you’re not in support of his policies, there needs to be a certain level of respect.”

Winfrey and other progressives in mourning for the death of ObamaMania would do well to reflect on the hateful manner by which President George W. Bush was treated.

How much of a “Learning Curve” was Bush granted? How much respect?

Quadriplegic Illegal Alien “Forcibly” Sent Home Riles Chicago Mexicans

By John W. Lillpop

Insanity among illegal aliens and their advocates has clearly reached epidemic proportions in certain parts of our great nation.

Consider this mind-numbing story from Chicago as reported, in part, at reference 1:


“CHICAGO, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- An Illinois hospital sent a quadriplegic back to Mexico against his will, he and his supporters charge.

Quelino Ojeda Jimenez, 20, a laborer who was in the United States illegally, fell off a roof last summer, the Chicago Tribune reported. After four months at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, he was put on an air ambulance and flown to Oaxaca.

They threw him out like he was a piece of garbage, said Horacio Esparza, a disability rights advocate in Chicago.

The Mexican Consulate in Chicago said it tried to intervene but was rebuffed.

Now Ojeda lies in a Mexican hospital that is so poor it must reuse filters for the breathing machine that keeps him alive.

Advocate Health Care, a hospital network in Illinois, said it never got his permission to transfer him.

Advocate Christ spent about $650,000 on Ojeda's care and another $60,000 to send him to Mexico after private care facilities refused to take him, said Kelly Jo Golson, a senior vice president.

Unbelievably, Ojeda’s “abrupt departure” has some Mexicans in Chicago in a snit.

Excuse me?

Mr. Ojeda, for whom all can feel sympathy, cost citizen taxpayers $710,000 over four months and is destined to spend the rest of his life in a special care facility.

Ojeda is just 20 years old. Assuming a normal life span, the illegal alien would thus cost citizen taxpayers approximately another $60 million dollars for treatment.

$60 million dollars for a person who has no moral or legal basis for being here!

This at a time when our nation is unarguably broke, partially due to the fact that America is already spending $120 billion a year on illegal aliens.

Rather than fretting over the hospital’s reasonable decision for handling an illegal alien, Mexicans in Chicago, and Mexico itself, should spend their time fighting to eradicate the corruption and greed that makes Mexico such a dismal failed state!

Super Bowl XLV: 56 Points and NO “vuvuzelas”!












By John W. Lillpop


The overwhelming superiority of American sports was demonstrated once again as teams from Green Bay and Pittsburgh battled in Superbowl XLV in Dallas, Texas.

Unlike the so-called World Cup of soccer in which most games end tied 0-0 or 1-1, Superbowl XLV was a spectacular display of offensive fire power and scoring as 56 thrilling points were tacked on the board.

56 points! That’s more than World Cup combatants scored during a full month of wasted days last summer!

Best of all, in Dallas there were no vuvuzelas being blown by intoxicated fans, driven to drink, as it were, by a lack of engaging entertainment on the field.

Furthermore, American football is a very complex sport in which only college graduates can compete. Brain power is as important, or more so, than brawn on the football field.

By contrast, the World Cup is all about opposing gangs of uneducated ruffians chasing a little ball up and down a grass field for hours on end, with little or nothing of substance to show for it, except for hundreds of thousands of angry and drunk fans.

Just what is the bloody point of getting all exercised about a “sport” that ends with no winners or no losers?

Given the thrills and excitement that football fans were treated to in Superbowl XLV, it is a shame that one team had to lose.

Still, even disappointed Pittsburgh Steeler fans would admit that losing is far better than playing a game that ends tied!

What Does Obama REALLY Want With Regard to President Mubarak’s Departure?

By John W. Lillpop


The crisis in Egypt has revealed an inconvenient truth about President Obama and his administration: The utter incompetence of this administration as pertains to domestic matters is just as prevelant and dangerous when it comes to foreign policy and issues.


Consider the hugely embarrassing disconnect between what President Obama and others in the White House are saying about President Hosni Mubarak as contrasted with what envoy Frank Wisner, back in town after a week in Egypt, is saying.

From Reference 1, in part:


"The future of Egypt will be determined by its people. The transition process must begin now," President Obama said after meeting at the White House with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Friday.

“Earlier on Friday, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said that Egypt will face greater instability if President Hosni Mubarak does not quickly take concrete steps for reforms and a transition of power.

"Unless or until that happens instability is actually going to increase," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, urging Mubarak and Vice President Omar Suleiman to defuse the tension.”


Not much room for misinterpretation there. Obama wants Mubarak to go NOW, right?

Perhaps. However, that is direct conflict with the words of Frank Wisner whom Obama dispatched to Egypt on an urgent mission just last Monday.

As reported at reference 2:


“Frank Wisner who was dispatched to Cairo on Monday, said he is increasingly hopeful that Egypt can manage a peaceful and orderly transition to democracy.


"You need to get a national consensus around the preconditions of the next step forward, and the president must stay in office in order to steer those changes through," Wisner said. "I therefore believe that President Mubarak's continued leadership is critical — it's his opportunity to write his own legacy."
So, which is it President Obama?

Must Mubarak leave NOW, or must he “stay in office in order to steer those changes through,” as stated by YOUR envoy?

America, Egypt, Israel and the world entire is anxiously looking for a consistent answer regarding America’s policy on this crisis.

Is that expecting too much, Mr. President?

Obama's Outrageous Hijacking of Ronald Reagan Legacy

By John W. Lillpop


In recent weeks, President Obama has tried to convince the American public that he (Obama) shares the qualities and virtues of the late Ronald Reagan.

This self -aggrandizement is particularly offensive coming, as it does, so close to the 100Th birthday of the beloved conservative hero.

Barack Obama must refrain from comparing himself to Reagan. It just does not wash, Mr. President!

A simple reminder should suffice: Barack Obama, you are no Ronald Reagan!

Unlike Obama, UK’s Cameron Confronts Islam As Source of Terror

By John W. Lillpop

While President Barack Obama stubbornly and foolihly refuses to admit that the war on terror is essentially a war against Islamic extremists, British Prime Minister Dave Cameron has chosen a less politically correct, more honest, stance.

As reported, in part, at Reference 1:

David Cameron today pledged to make Britain ‘a lot less’ tolerant towards Islamic extremists who whip up hatred against the West.

In a major speech on terrorism, the Prime Minister argued that Britain has been too ‘passive’ towards organizations and preachers who poison the minds of young Muslims.

Mr. Cameron said Britain needs to be less tolerant and more judgmental when faced with ideologies that threaten the country’s basic values.

Signaling a major departure from Labor’s softly-softly approach, he suggested that to ‘belong’ in Britain, individuals must sign up to core values such as freedom of speech, the rule of law and democracy.

In a barely-concealed attack on the opposition, he will say:

‘It’s time to turn the page on the failed policies of the past.’
The Prime Minister pledged to end all public funding for groups which give succor to extremist views. And he called for action to ban extremists from radicalizing young people in universities, prisons and internet chat rooms.

At a security conference in Munich today, Mr. Cameron said: ‘Frankly, we need a lot less of the passive tolerance of recent years and much more active, muscular liberalism.’
Hear, hear, Mr. PM!

How refreshing to hear a leader of the free world tell it exactly “like it is.”

Meanwhile in the United States, our Commander-in-chief and President continues to ignore the truth, refusing even to use the word Islam in conjunction with discussions about terrorism.

What will it take to awaken Obama to the truth?

Second Year of Obama Presidency Most “Polarizing” in 57 Years: Why?

By John W. Lillpop

As measured by a recent Gallup poll, Barack Obama’s second year in office was the most polarizing since 1953, when President Dwight Eisenhower was running the show.

As reported by Gallup poll (1), in part:

"President Barack Obama's job approval ratings were even more polarized during his second year in office than during his first, when he registered the most polarized ratings for a first-year president. An average of 81% of Democrats and 13% of Republicans approved of the job Obama was doing as president during his second year. That 68-point gap in party ratings is up from 65 points in his first year and is easily the most polarized second year for a president since Dwight Eisenhower.”


Obama’s poor showing is doubtlessly linked to the government take-over of health care, unflatteringly referred to as ObamaCare.

The president’s defiance of recent court rulings against ObamaCare will do little to rehabilitate his numbers.

Consider, please:

In a speech following that of Egyptian President Mubarak on February 1, President Obama said the following, in part:

“The process (transition)must include a broad spectrum of Egyptian voices and opposition parties. It should lead to elections that are free and fair. And it should result in a government that's not only grounded in democratic principles, but is also responsive to the aspirations of the Egyptian people.”


Interesting words, those, especially the part about the need for “a broad spectrum of voices and opposition parties” and a call for “government being responsive to the aspirations of the people.”

This moral talking-down from an aloof, elitist president who
presided over a corrupt process of manipulation to pass a socialized health care bill (ObamaCare), despite widespread opposition among the governed and the opposition party.

This blatant hypocrisy from an inexperienced community organizer who chose to bribe, deceive, lie, misrepresent, deny, extort, slander, obscure, hide, execute, mischaracterize, sabotage, and any and all other acts of sleight-of-hand chicanery and tom foolery needed to pass ObamaCare in cahoots with like-minded Marxists in Congress.

This condescending language from a wrong-minded, anti-capitalist renegade who chose to render the principle of democratic governance subservient to the wishes of the elitist governing class, including Congressional scalawags such as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid who hold the will of the people in utter contempt.

Antonyms to the way in which President Obama handled health care include open, honest government, integrity, rule of law, Constitutional, fair, decent, democratic, representative, and American.

Unfortunately, Obama’s dictatorial behavior has extended beyond the criminal antics required to pass the controversial measure.

Indeed, two federal judges have independently ruled that ObamaCare is unconstitutional.

Furthermore, federal judge Roger Vinson ruled that as a result of the unconstitutionality of the "individual mandate" that requires people to buy insurance, the entire law must be declared void.

While Judge Vinson did not issue a specific injunction against implementation of ObamaCare, he clearly expected the Obama Administration to pull the plug on the flawed legislation, as evidenced by the following words from Vinson on the subject:


"...there is a long-standing presumption that officials of the Executive Branch will adhere to the law as declared by the court. As a result, the declaratory judgment is the functional equivalent of an injunction.”

“There is no reason to conclude that this presumption should not apply here. Thus, the award of declaratory relief is adequate and separate injunctive relief is not necessary."


Alas, to date the Obama Administration has simply ignored the ruling by Judge Vinson.

Is it any wonder, therefore, that Barack Obama is such a divisive figure?

Not All Dictators in Denial Live by the Nile!

By John W. Lillpop

With the glaring exception of Vice-president Biden, officials in the Obama Administration fervently hope that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will achieve a smooth and rapid transition of power from himself to others, obviously excluding family members and thugs in the Muslim Brotherhood.

The hope is that the transition will happen sooner rather than later. Much sooner, in fact.

For his part, President Mubarak does not see the urgency of change and is quite comfortable with remaining in power until at least September when elections will be held.

For some inexplicable reason, Mubarak is operating under the retarded notion that the people of Egypt need his presence for another eight months, to “oversee” the transition.

Might that foolishness have originated with Joe Biden?

However, as was brutally obvious in Cairo on the day after President Mubarak spoke to the Egyptian people, the huddled masses are not amused.

They want Mubarak to shorten the transition time table so that he is gone—NOW!

Clearly, President Mubarak is in complete denial. He simply cannot, or will not, accept the fact that the game is over and that the time for him to go has arrived.

Call it “Denial on the Nile.” Remember you read that here first!

Speaking of denial, President Obama appears to similarly smitten. In his speech following that of Mubarak on February 1, Obama said the following, in part:

“Furthermore, the process must include a broad spectrum of Egyptian voices and opposition parties. It should lead to elections that are free and fair. And it should result in a government that's not only grounded in democratic principles, but is also responsive to the aspirations of the Egyptian people.”


Interesting words, those, especially the part about the need for “a broad spectrum of voices and opposition parties” and a call for “government being responsive to the aspirations of the people.”

This moral talking-down from an aloof, elitist president who
presided over a corrupt process of manipulation to pass a socialized health care bill (ObamaCare), despite widespread opposition among the governed and the opposition party.

This blatant hypocrisy from an inexperienced community organizer who chose to bribe, deceive, lie, misstate, deny, extort, slander, obscure, hide, execute, misstate, sabotage, and any and all other acts of sleight-of-hand chicanery and tom foolery needed to pass ObamaCare in cahoots with like-minded Marxists in Congress.

This condescending language from a wrong-minded, anti-capitalist renegade who chose to render the principle of democratic governance subservient to the wishes of the elitist governing class, including Congressional scalawags such as Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid who hold the will of the people in utter contempt.

Antonyms to the way in which President Obama handled health care include open, honest government, integrity, rule of law, Constitutional, fair, decent, democratic, representative, and American.

“There is no reason to conclude that this presumption should not apply here. Thus, the award of declaratory relief is adequate and separate injunctive relief is not necessary."


WRONG! To date the Obama Administration has simply ignored the ruling by Judge Vinson.

Which leads to the following conclusion: Not All Dictators in Denial Live by the Nile!

New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez: U.S. Patriot, “Wise Latina”

















By John W. Lillpop

As America struggles to recover from the economic, social, cultural, and political devastation wrought by tens of millions of illegal aliens invading our sovereign nation, far too often those in the Hispanic community have stood in bitter opposition to reasonable measures needed to prevent, and reverse, illegal immigration.

Calls for greater border security and enforcement of immigration laws, including deportation of those here illegally, have been almost always met with charges of racism and bigotry by Democrats and Hispanics seemingly more interested in increasing their numbers than in the rule of law, American sovereignty, and just plain common sense.

An encouraging exception appears to be emerging from New Mexico where voters there replaced Democrat (and Hispanic) Governor Bill Richardson with Republican Susana Martinez, the first Latina female elected as Governor in U.S. history.

In the very early days of her tenure, Susana Martinez has distinguished herself as a genuine American patriot dedicated to the rule of law and U.S. sovereignty, rather than being obsessed with promoting those who share her ethnicity.

In one of her first official acts, Governor Martinez eliminated an executive order issued by Richardson that prohibited law enforcement officials from asking people about immigration status.


This order takes the handcuffs off of New Mexico's law enforcement officers in their mission to keep our communities safe," Martínez said in a statement. "The criminal justice system should have the authority to determine the immigration status of all criminals, regardless of race or ethnicity, and report illegal immigrants who commit crimes to federal authorities.


Hooray and kudos, Governor!

Governor Martinez has also acted to end the idiotic designation of New Mexico as a “sanctuary” for invading criminals which only served as a Welcome Mat for freeloaders and scam artists!

Hooray again, and even more kudos, Governor!

Martinez is now trying to revoke the issuance of driver’s licenses to illegal aliens, another travesty at the hands of Hispanic racist Bill Richardson.

May the good deeds of Susana Martinez serve as a beacon of light to Hispanics and others in all walks of American life. Let her leadership be a clarion call for common sense and acknowledgment of the fact that doing that which is right is NOT about race and bigotry!

Governor Susana Martinez: U.S. Patriot, “Wise Latina"!
