Political Cowardice

The fawning Nancy Pelosi out-claps Joe Biden.

“We haven’t seen someone so into clapping since that mother at the second-grade Flutophone concert.” – Top of the Ticket

Should we tell Michelle?

Nancy Pelosi Botox withdrawal?

Looks like Obama has an incestuous relationship with another branch of government, that Pelosi woman. It was a “love-in” during that “speech” the other night, all we missed was seeing her drool.

I don’t know if it was those fawning eyes, too much Mountain Dew, or Botox but she looked like she wanted to plant a warm wet one right on his head.

Not to mention she was on her feet so fast and so often her chair never warmed.

You have got to see this:

Reminds me of that game: “Whack-a-Mole”

The liberals and the press love to compare Lincoln with Obama, however, nothing can be further from the truth.

President Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was a man of God, conviction and principles. That means he stood for something, he did not waiver or compromise in the face of political pressure, in a word, he had political courage. Lincoln rose to power after years of toil and struggle with failure and challenge; as president he gave us a day of fasting, humility and prayer.

Lincoln admonished the nation in his proclamation: “[we have become] Intoxicated with unbroken success…” Proclamation Appointing a National Fast Day

“…heal their land..”

I wonder if Lincoln was thinking of : 2 Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (Source: TBS ) when he wrote his proclamation.

Lincoln asked: “…that the united cry of the Nation will be heard on high, and answered with blessings, no less than the pardon of our national sins, and the restoration of our now divided and suffering Country, to its former happy condition of unity and peace.”

Obama rose almost magically, practically effortlessly, unchallenged in the greater sense, growing up in a protective bubble, untested, with dubious devotion to anything meaningful, lack of conviction, lies and deceit. In other words, a political coward. Obama gives us excess, weakness of character and promises that cannot be fulfilled.

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. — Lincoln.

Political Cowardice:

Weakness of conviction should be the death knell in politics, but, today, it is worn as a badge of honor by the liberals who extol the virtues of compromise. In compromise, no one wins.

Obama, trying to please everyone, equivocates on the same-sex marriage issue in the face of the California Supreme Court’s decision. Both sides of the issue feel betrayed. – Salon

Huh?

A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, ‘Huh. It works. It makes sense.’ — Obama

Obama like Lincoln is very smart, but, it’s not enough to be very smart; you have to stand for something.

“A compromise is like kissing your sister”. — PC

Change we don’t need:

Obama’s scheme to save our economy with massive federal spending, much of it for questionable earmarks and for programs advancing his hidden social agenda will plunge the world economy and our nation into deep financial trouble many experts say.

Contemplation? A trillion here, a trillion there... President Barack Obama reflects on the data presented during a meeting on the budget Thursday, Jan. 29, 2009 in the Roosevelt Room of the White House. -- whitehouse.gov

More details emerged this past week about Obama’s real goals as his budget percolates in the press and the muted, disorganized Republican opposition begins to grow louder and find its ground. The election after-glow is turning to gloom as the details begin to sink in, so say many polls.

After all, the evidence was there all along; but nobody listened. Remember Joe the Plumber and “spreading the wealth”? Don’t we really have a modern-day Robin Hood? The idea sounded great in the movies, except now that Obama is Robin’ from us, (tax burden shifts to wealthy) well perhaps not so great an idea. Maybe there is something to what the Right Wing commentators were saying.

As usual Obama has it backwards, we need to save, not spend. Our national debt is out of control and we are being held hostage by debt to foreign nations, many not our friends. Some predict under Obama, we will be paying more than $1 Billion A DAY in interest on the debt.

The national debt – the sum of all annual budget deficits – stands at $10.7 trillion. Or about $36,000 for every man, woman and child in the U.S.

Interest payments alone on the national debt will near $500 billion this year. It’s already the fourth-largest federal expenditure, after Medicare-Medicaid, Social Security and defense. — Obama’s economic stimulus bill and the national debt?

What is really scary is Obama is marching us like lemmings to a Marxist style socialism where government knows best and is looked upon as the ultimate “nanny”.

It’s hard to argue that this represents some unprecedented leap toward socialism… — Cathy Young writing in ‘Real Clear Politics‘

Slowly the bailout of institutions is really becoming de facto “nationalization”. Giving more power to the never-audited “National Bank” — the Federal Reserve and its chairman Bernake is a step towards that, however, Mr. Bernake likes to call it ‘partnership’. I wonder what George Orwell would call it?

Read: ‘Orwellian Doublethink… Nationalize the Banks… The language of deception‘ by Prof. Michael Hudson wringing in GlobalResearch.ca

Federal involvement in the US banking industry has moved into a new phase.

In a deal announced Friday, the giant bank Citigroup agreed to a plan in which the government intends to take as much as a 36 percent ownership stake in the ailing bank.

Call it partial nationalization if you want. Or, since many Americans don’t like the word nationalization, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke floated “partnership” as an alternative word this week. — Mark Trumbull writing ‘Uncle Sam takes a greater role in US Banking‘ in the Cristian Science Monitor.

The warnings from the right about Obama’s support of loony left wing radical and perhaps criminal organizations now rings true when you learn that the stimulus bill contains earmarks for such groups as ACORN and the brown supremacist, racist organization “La Raza”.

After initially refusing to release his 2005-2006 Senate earmarks requests, the campaign has finally released a HUGE list of earmarks from that period containing many questionable expenditure requests. Examining the earmarks in Obama’s federal budget request and the stimulus bill may provide some insight into what a utopian society would be under Obama.

Obama’s New Spending Bill Has 9,000 Earmarks.

The bill will contain about 9,000 earmarks totaling $5 billion, congressional officials say. Many of the earmarks – loosely defined as local projects inserted by members of Congress – were inserted last year as the spending bills worked their way through various committees. — William Douglas and David Lightman, McClatchy Newspapers

Unless the Republicans can organize a strong opposition, which seems unlikely with Obamamainia in full force, we are destined for crushing debt, growing liberal radicalism, further nationalization and radicalization of our institutions and firmly on the path to ultimate socialization.

“…in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards”

Attorney General Eric Holder at the Department of Justice African American History Month Program gave an address in which he stated:

Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards. Though race related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race. It is an issue we have never been at ease

with and given our nation’s history this is in some ways understandable. And yet, if we are to make progress in this area we must feel comfortable enough with one another, and tolerant enough of each other, to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us. But we must do more- and we in this room bear a special responsibility. Through its work and through its example this Department of Justice, as long as I am here, must – and will – lead the nation to the “new birth of freedom” so long ago promised by our greatest President. This is our duty and our solemn obligation.” — Read Full Text

Yes, I agree, we have cowards in our nation, however, the cowards are the Al Sharptons, Jessie Jacksons and the Jeremiah Wrights of our country.

Let us not overlook the coward in chief President Obambi who did everything to avoid talking about race, unless of course, he was forced into discussing it, say by Jeremiah Wright? Oops… isn’t Holder’s boss one of those ‘cowards’ that avoids discussing race?

Anyone who plays the race card to gain advantage including non-merit based advantages like affirmative action are real cowards. Oh and the white liberals who wear their black friends on their sleeves and try to out-do each other with their bleeding heart liberal deeds. But would they marry one?

Yes, we can do with more discussion and debate, but let us have the truth first. You have to ask yourself can the Eric Holders of the world handle the truth?
