Surrender-in-Chief

June 3, 2014 Ross

President Obama, our elected Commander-in-Chief, has demonstrated over and over his naiveté in foreign policy. If you can point to one successful, tactical foreign policy decision, then you’re a magician because there isn’t one. North Korea, China, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Russia, Ukraine, Egypt, Eastern Europe’s missile defense shield, Israel, Lebanon, Arab Spring, Red Lines.

Likewise, his military acumen as a warrior is totally laughable. Except for the fact that he is responsible for our sons and daughters in harm’s way. He fights wars based on timetables instead of results. And he announces them, not just to his political hacks but, to the enemy. He creates a false narrative about the Benghazi attack, and broadcasts apologies to the Islamist goons in Pakistan about a movie that they likely never saw. As if they will do anything other than laugh at his amateur hour.

Withholding judgment whether Bowe Bergdahl is a deserter (an investigation will tell), this latest prisoner swap (he does negotiate with terrorists) is yet another example of how far Barack Obama will go to 1) stick it to the military, 2) appease terrorists in hoping (“hope” is not a strategy) that they’ll like us, 3) let these 5 terrorist kingpins go free after one year (who were supposed to be detained until the cessation of hostilities, ie. indefinitely). That is, if Qatar doesn’t release them or allow them to escape beforehand, and 4) he finally has a chance to give preference or weight to an Islamist goon, over an American. When the era of slavery was coming to an end, there was a time when slaves counted as 3/5 of a person. But today, President Obama (who claims to be Black) has a chance to exercise a little payback. Bergdahl weighs in at 1/5. One American, in exchange for the 5 most dangerous terrorists on the planet.

And that makes sense to who? Makes one think that President Obama is on the wrong side in this war. Problem is, he thinks he’s on the right side.

Obama Doctrine, Serial Killer, What’s The Difference?

June 1, 2014 Ross

No longer will the Commander-in-Chief of the United States fight wars the old-fashioned way, to win them. He now says his new strategy is to let the local ill-equipped (in so many ways) villagers determine the future of our sons and daughters in harm’s way.

This so-called “new” strategy he has for our armed forces is to train the locals so they can carry the fight. If my memory serves me, we’ve been training the Afghan government to train their “soldiers” for the last ten years, and now he says we’re going to keep on doing the same thing? Only with way less of our troops to be around for protection. He calls it, wait for it, My Brother’s Keeper Task Force.

“We have to develop a strategy that matches this diffuse threat – one that expands our reach without sending forces that stretch our military too thin, or stir up local resentments,” Obama said. “We need partners to fight terrorists alongside us.”

If, after ten years, the Afghan government doesn’t know how to train its “military” to fight against terrorism, then the only responsible thing to do with our troops is to bring them home. Don’t leave them there to die at the hands of the dirtbag who is supposed to be on our side. He is charged with being the keeper of our brothers and sisters. But he won’t.

President Obama is delusional when it comes to fighting a war and Islamic terrorism. He isn’t in it to win it. He’s in it to end it. Only with the added idiocy of sacrificing our own men and women so he can look good politically, in his own troubled little mind.

Two Presidents, Two Very Different ‘Today’ Show Segments

Following Bush’s “surprise” Afghanistan trip in March 2006, then-hosts of “Today” Kelly O’Donnell, Katie Couric and Matt Lauer framed the visit as a publicity stunt. “The president’s travels come at a time when his popularity at home has itself gone south,” O’Donnell said, pulling numbers from his low job approval rating at the time.

After Obama’s visit to Afghanistan this Memorial Day, “Today” failed to mention his current lower-than-Bush approval ratings and the multiple scandals surrounding his administration. The segment began with praise for his “whirlwind 4-hour visit to Afghanistan” where he made sure to thank those still serving in Afghanistan, and how he was “continuing to navigate the mounting scandal over the V.A.” And there was no mention of Benghazi, the IRS or Obamacare, among other issues.

So who is surprised how the media treats The One?

Economy Shrinking, Not Bush’s Fault

May 29, 2014 Ross

Amid the news that the GDP is shrinking it will be amusing to hear President Obama spin this into his recovery. No one in his media will dare ask him that question, so never mind.

Meanwhile, Cap and Trade having been repeatedly defeated in Congress (you know, the Constitutional way), President Obama is moving on to Plan B. National Community Organizer that he is, he is using regulatory agencies (all of whom should have their regulatory authority stripped) to do what Congress would not. Flipping the Bird to you, Congress, and the Founding Fathers. The effects of which is represented in this info graphic below.

Islamic Insanity, Honor Killing

May 28, 2014 Ross

An update about the ancient and barbaric ‘religion of peace.’ If you think Mo’s barbaric religion was something that happened centuries ago, think again. Just because it isn’t reported in the U.S. media doesn’t mean it isn’t still happening. Talk about a war on women . . . her name was Farzana Iqbal. Twenty-five years old, and three months pregnant.

“I killed my daughter as she had insulted all of our family by marrying a man without our consent, and I have no regret over it,” Mr. Mujahid, the police investigator, quoted the father as saying.

Dem’s False Creds To Tea Party

May 25, 2014 Ross

Have you noticed the narrative from the political Left changing from the tea party is irrelevant to the tea party has changed the GOP establishment to the point that they are now the same? There’s a purpose for such a false narrative, because there’s no evidence that the GOP has embraced what the ‘tea party’ (which isn’t an actual political party but rather a mindset of limited, constitutional government that protects freedom while exercising fiscal responsibility, including tax reform) stands for.

An accurate observation is more like the establishment GOP is has moved closer to the Democrat establishment, with no will or inclination to roll back the bloated government, no inclination to exercise fiscal responsibility, and no inclination to protect America’s economy, sovereignty, its Veterans, or its people.

The Left’s projection to equate the establishment GOP with the tea party is a reminder that they have nothing to run on that the people want. Nothing to run on that overcomes being lied to. The purpose is to run on demonizing the opponent. It’s what they do.

Truth is, the establishment GOP is just as delusional and dismissive over the tea party as the Democrats. And from that, you can bet both are concerned that they will see a repeat of 2010. Knocking both of them on their political ass.

Mother, Not The President, Calls For Marine’s Release

May 22, 2014 Ross

If President Obama doesn’t call Mexico’s President Pietro today to ask for our (his) Marine’s immediate release, then he should be impeached tomorrow.

This unfortunate incident shows the President’s true color. And it isn’t Black. It’s Yellow. And when it comes to flouting his power, he’s all about using it over Americans to spread socialized medicine, creating open borders, freeing illegal Mexican criminals, expanding the welfare state, increasing the public debt, and curtailing our freedoms. But, like Benghazi, when it comes to protecting Americans, or people like Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi directly under his charge, he has no phone and no pen.

Veterans Administration’s Increasing Budgets

May 21, 2014 Ross

If you look back as far as 2008, when the Veterans Administration was saying . . .

The resources requested in the 2008 budget will enable VA to successfully address the three highest priorities of this Department:

Provide timely, high-quality health care to those who count on us most – veterans with service-connected disabilities, those with lower incomes, veterans with special health care needs, and those with service in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom;
Address the large increase in claims for compensation and pension benefits while improving processing accuracy for our most challenging compensation claims;
Ensure the burial needs of veterans and their eligible family 2008 Congressional Submission 1 – 3 members are met, and maintain veterans’ cemeteries as national shrines.

Talk about some creative writing. In light of all the news about the VA, including President Obama’s faux surprise and anger over it, look this document over and ask yourself “who do they think they are kidding?” Answer, the low-information voters who only care that Obama says he cares and says he’s going to do an investigation, bla bla bla. That’s who.

You can see that their budgets have been doing nothing but increasing each and every year, while the known problems they have and challenges they know they face have gone without resolve.

This should be enough evidence that throwing even more money at the problem is not the answer. It needs an overhaul from the top with people who know how to get the job done instead of people who know how to ask for more money.
