Political Cowardice

Joan Swirsky - Renew America

Joan Swirsky has blessed us once again with a with another must read masterpiece exposing the truth behind Obama, the most cloistered and narcissistic president in recent history.  She lays it on the line so that the most closed-minded liberal Israel hater is left grasping the air.

I grew up in a far left liberal Jewish family where Israel was hated as a war-mongering nation and oppressor of the Arabs and Palestinians whose plight was championed constantly.

I left to live in Israel for several years to see for myself, to work with the people of Israel and engage in their national past-time, political debate.

Obama’s hatred of Jews and Israel, formerly suspected, but not so obvious, is now formally out in the open with his speech last week, as if we didn’t know it, outlining his goal of the destruction of Israel.

Right on cue, someone, perhaps George Soros, showed Obama the Queen of Diamonds and he “assassinated” Israel.  All hail the new Arafat.

Irrational though it may seem, a large segment of Obama’s base are the self-destructive, self-hating, Israel hating liberal American Jews.  These Jews are usually atheistic, their religion is Liberalism, their devotion to the Progressive’s dogma is above all, above their country and even their own survival.

Obama stepped in it the other day when he blindsided Israel and politically ambushed Israeli prime minister Netanyahu with his speech at the State Department outlining his bizarre proposal for re-drawing Israeli borders back to their 1967 positions.

Obama hates Israel and disrespects Netanyahu and Jews. When it comes to folks he likes, such as the president of Mexico, Venezuela and the Muslim Brotherhood he bends over backwards. When it comes to Israel Obama is the new Arafat.

In fact, I believe Obama has a Jew problem.

U.S. Army trainer in Afghanistan: “If we instituted drug testing to the Afghan Army, we would loos three quarters to eighty to eighty-five percent of the [Afghan] army.”

In my opinion the Obama and the U.S. Army are wasting lives and vast quantities of time and money in Afghanistan, we need to leave.  Training the Afghan Army is a joke.

Israel celebrated her Independence Day a few days ago and the mainstream media seems to relish the opportunity not to recount and praise the struggle for freedom and our half-century plus strong alliance, but rather to disparage, malign and condemn her with outright lies to subtle half-truths and skewed reporting.

Israel declared her independence in May 1948 and was recognized as a country, free from Great Britain, by the United Nations and Harry S. Truman, the president of the Untied Sates at the time.

What’s very interesting and not widely known is that Israel celebrates her Independence Day, strange as it may seem, the day after her Memorial Day. It’s like two contrasting or conflicting holidays, one following the next, with emotions switching between two ends of the spectrum.

There is a debate raging about how much credit Obama deserves, or should take concerning the Navy SEALs killing of Osama bin-Laden. Obama certainly got a nifty boost in the polls this week and it seems he is playing it for all it’s worth and for as long as he can anyway.

He is headed off to Texas of all places today in an attempt to parlay his recent political capital gains into an attempt to have it both ways on immigration, and oh, yes, to pick up some cool cash at a fund-raiser while he is at it, of course.

Our Politician-in-Chief, trained in the Chicago style of back-ally politics, never wanting a crisis to go to waste, is milking Bin-Ladin for all he’s worth.

Didn’t the liberals accuse Bush of using 9/11 for grandstanding?

Now, someone, we don’t know who, registered the domain name “gutsycall.com” and has it linked to Obama’s 2012 campaign website.

“Obama’s not one to “spike the football” after a victory (or after killing Osama bin Laden), but it seems his campaign team (or some of his ardent supporters) doesn’t feel the same way.”

The Reuters news agency purchased and has published photos taken about an hour after the early morning Monday U.S. raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad in Pakistan. The photos, which show three men lying in pools of blood were reportedly taken by a Pakistani security official. None of the photos appears to be that of Osama bin Laden. As of now, the Obama Administration has refused to release photos of bin Laden's body.

Let’s get this straight, I really don’t care if Muslims, or anyone else for that matter, are offended by photos of Osama with his brains blown out.

I’m not worried about inflaming the “Arab Street” or if it will make Muslims hate us anymore than the do now.

I was offended by watching folks jump out of the windows from the towers on 9/11, now that was offensive.

I assure you that no Muslim was worried about offending any Americans when they chopped off Danny Pearls head and video taped it.

No Islamic warlord in Mogadishu worried about offending anyone when they dragged the bodies of our helicopter pilots through the streets.

No Muslim terrorist was worried about offending anyone or if it would make Americans hate them when they blew up the U.S.S. Cole.

I didn’t think it would get very far, but Virginia’s request for an expedited review of its Obamacare lawsuit was disappointing.

Apparently we have to wait for the “real damages” of Obamacare to occur before we can have our day in court.  My guess is that Obamacare will be mostly dead soon, but perhaps that’s more wishing than reality.

“This protracted journey will allow Obamacare to embed itself in our health care system so deeply that, by the time the Court deigns to hear one of the challenges, it may be impossible to safely extract the tumor.”  — David Carton

In any event, David Carton wrote an excellent article in the “American Spectator“  headlined: “Supreme Court Allows Obamacare to Metastasize”

Like Media Matters, I wonder if Geoge Soros  paid for this site too.

“Since November of 2008 we’ve seen many photographs of the President and his infamous Presidential “smug.” One has to wonder the reason for his blatant arrogance when his poll numbers continue to plummet and his leadership abilities have been in question. Apparently Obama only reads the desperate letters he often refers to reading but doesn’t feel the need to read bills but insist they be passed.” – A Patriotic Nurse

Here we go again…

As I explained before, people who grow up without strong male leadership, (a father) develop serious personality disorders, e.g. narcissism, etc. and are defective. Two of these many defects are present in Obama, lack of conviction and a need to please, we witness in Obama’s recent flip-flop on the 9/11 mosque debate.

President Barack Obama and daughter Sasha swim at Alligator Point in Panama City Beach, Fla. The President traveled to Panama City Beach with First Lady Michelle Obama and Sasha to meet with local business owners and officials and to encourage Americans to travel to the Gulf Coast beaches. August 14, 2010. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza) www. whitehouse.gov Note, whitehouse.gov had NO photos of the end of Ramadan dinner, I wonder why?

See: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/15/us/politics/15mosque.html?src=me

First, vowing to stay out of the debate and repeatedly saying it was a “local decision” he gave in to his need to be loved by all at a recent white house dinner for Muslims, (that in it self is another story, I wonder why there are hardy any photos on www.whitehouse.gov?) came out in favor of building the controversial mosque citing freedom of religion and American values.

“This is America.  And our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable.  The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country and that they will not be treated differently by their government is essential to who we are.  The writ of the Founders must endure.”
Now, less than 24 hours later, two of his defects kick in, one, his lack of conviction and two, his need to be loved by whoever is seeking it, he backtracks on his first change of his position to create a third position statement. Incredible.

Obama and those who are in favor of building a mosque at ground zero are wrong on many fronts; they often site “freedom of religion” and “American values” as their main reasons.

First of all Islam is more about a political movement and conquest than it is about a religion, and should not be considered on equal footing with other main-stream religions.

That can be a whole subject for another debate, however, even if you did conclude it is a valid religion there are additional issues.

One, a mosque is not equivalent to a church in the Western meaning. Second, “freedom of religion” and “separation of church and state” have had their original meanings twisted so much as to make the present-day understandings incorrect.

The first amendment, below, does not explicitly grant the right to build a mosque any where you please and to have the government rush in and support you if you wanted to build a mosque say on an airport runway.

Since we have established that you can’t build a mosque, or anything else for that matter, ANY where you want, we still have the issue of how not building a mosque at ground zero, but some blocks away amounts to restricting the “free exercise thereof”.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Obama says the debate is about American values, good, because Islam is the antitheses of American values.   And most Americans know it.

The word ‘parenting’ is a meaningless word given to us from the PC police.

Whenever you hear this word ask the person if they mean fathering or mothering as there is no such thing as ‘parenting’. The word ‘parenting’ is used by the liberals and feminists to further destroy the family, debase men and fathers and blur the differences between men and women.

Thus we have the unisex, gelded ‘parent’.

President Obama in Virginia

Monica Lee and her ilk may think that taking the kids to the beach, buying ice cream and being “warm and fuzzy” and getting all touchy-feely and spending “quality time” are important traits of a good father and “proof” of “parenting skills”.

However, these traits and activities are more those of a mother than a father. Could this be because Obama was raised fatherless by his grandmother and is a ‘defective child’?

Read Lee’s piece of crap that passes as journalism on the phony website “examiner.com” where they apparently let any nit-wit become an “examiner”. “Obama proves he’s got parenting skills” by Monica Lee.

Perhaps what Monica Lee was really looking for was a babysitter for some of her five children while she attends college rather than taking care of her children herself. On a side note, another of her articles “Scholarship season” announces that college enrollment is high during the spring, perhaps due to the fact that that’s about when people are getting ready to graduate high school and move on to college. Shocking.

The problem is that we have not taught our children or even spoken of the real role of fathers for fear of the wrath of the feminists and the PC police. A father’s first responsibility is to provide for and protect his family. He is then responsible for leadership, making important decisions, providing discipline and organization for the family. Much of this is not done on the beaches of Hawaii. The father is the “rock” of the family, not “Michelle” as he claims.

This further proves that the liberals and feminists real agenda is to totally usurp the authority, responsibility and leadership of the father and place it in the hands of the “we got a program for that” government nanny-state.

Great Communicator: Obama hides his double talk within his rhetoric

President Barack Obama gestures as he addresses the White House Forum on Health Reform, Thursday, March 5, 2009, in the East Room.

We all love to hear what we want to hear and it has never been easier than now with our silver tongued president.

When Obama says: “We have to look at offshore drilling”, the conservatives hear “Why of course we will have to open up these areas” and the liberal environmentalists hear “Why of course we will have to eliminate offshore drilling”.

In an era where we need to provide certainty and confidence to the markets, Obama and his real plans still remain an enigma to those listening to him talk.

On top of that investors are seeing a divide between what Obama says and what he does. Most obvious are the thousands of earmarks contained in the budget bill signed today. During the campaign Obama promised to eliminate earmarks if elected, however, his budget contains about 9,000 earmarks. Obama recently claimed that earmarks were taken care of when he was in the senate.

On top of all this, we still have a media that won’t allow anyone to challenge Obama, much less they themselves. The gullible press covering Obama are more like cheerleaders rather than hard-nosed reporters. I predict it will be said of the press that they let the country down at a time when they were needed the most.

Look at what happened to Limbaugh when he said he hoped Obama would fail and compare that to the reaction when James Carville said basically the same thing during a press conference in 2001 that he hoped George Bush would not succeed.

Barack Obama is a great pretender. He constantly says he’s doing things that he isn’t, and he relies on his powerful rhetoric to obscure the difference. He has made “responsibility” a personal theme, and the budget’s cover line is “A New Era of Responsibility.” He claims that the budget begins “making the tough choices necessary to restore fiscal discipline.” It doesn’t. –Presidential Double-Talk Robert J. Samuelson

Lacking small business stimulus, the stimulus bill will fail

Small business is the backbone of the economy, responsible for more jobs overall than big business. Without helping small businesses no stimulus effort will succeed.

In addition to ignoring small businesses, which are the nation’s top job creators in the stimulus bill, President Obama has refused to stop rampant fraud and abuse in existing federal economic stimulus programs for small businesses. — PR Neswire

But my guess is that Obama is a political coward.

Rush Limbaugh

Wednesday, March 4, On his daily radio show, radio talkmaster Rush Limbaugh issued a challenge to President Obama to a debate. As of now the White House has not responded. Rush is right, Obama should debate, but my guess is Obama won’t. Why? Political Cowardice

The liberals would rather put Limbaugh on an “enemy list” or use the “Fairness Doctrine” to silence him, according to Michal Savage. I agree.

Egging him one, Rush continued: “I, Mr. President, will send my jet, EIB One, to pick you up and bring you here and take you back to wherever you want to go. You’d love it. It’s not as big and luxurious as your jet, but it’s got enough seats for your Secret Service detail. . . .

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.

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
