If Government is so great. . .

By Douglas V. Gibbs

When I debate Leftists, I ask them, "If government is so good at administering programs, then why can't they run any of them well?

The Liberal usually responds that he can name many programs that the government runs well.

"Okay, then, name some."

Medicare? Medicare is $3.8 Trillion in debt.

Social Security? The program has been used as a piggy bank by every department in the U.S. Government, and most Americans have come to the realization that the greatest ponzi scheme ever created will be gone by the time they retire.

Postal Service? It's called Snail Mail for a reason. When publishers or publicists send me books by potential guests on my radio program, I usually request they send the book by UPS or FedEx because when sent by mail, more than half the time I receive empty envelopes, and a postal clerk that blames it on the neighborhood kids - by the way, my wife watches when the mail is delivered and retrieves it immediately.

Veteran's Administration? It took the VA 6 months to come up with a diagnosis that my private doctor, and team of specialists, diagnosed in two weeks.

IRS? Puhleeeeze! The IRS is the legalized criminal strong-arm of the U.S. Government that believes it is above the law. Like that is what the Founding Fathers intended.

Reagan Was For America

I was thinking about the Obama presidency, and its comparison to the presidency of Ronald Reagan - and it struck me:

Reagan was President for America. Obama is President for himself.

Azusa Fire

750 acres have burned in the Angeles National Forest. The fire is less than 10 percent contained. Several dozen people have been evacuated, and as many as 15 structures have been threatened.

18 Boy Scouts who were camping nearby were evacuated early on.

Smoke fills the L.A. basin as more than 600 personnel battle the blaze.

Great Comment

In addition to Political Pistachio dot com, all of my articles on this site appear in many other locations around the web as well. One of those places is my facebook account where I received the following comment about a recent article I wrote:

Mary N. made a comment about your note "A Tactic of Misdirection":

I can't be alone when I say I am tired of being told I am rioting because I don't approve of a Gov't controlled health care system. And I can't be alone when it insults me to have my own President apoligizing to other nations for the actions of us-the American people. Since when did we become the problem child? Or is it the Gov't realizes that "the people" won't just roll over by a group of leaders that should be acting in our best interest but instead, want to take a perfectly good country and destroy it. Our President should be making speeches about how great it is to be an American instead of telling others how wrong our actions are. The only thing this great nation did that was wrong was vote him into office.


Thanks, Mary, and you are exactly right.

Lockerbie Bomber Release Cruel to Families of Victims

By Douglas V. Gibbs

The release of Abdel Beset al-Megrahi, the Libyan terrorist convicted of killing 270 people in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, by Scotland’s Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill, was unbelievably cruel to the families of the victims of that flight.

MacAskill claimed the release was for humanitarian reasons, since al-Megrahi suffers from a terminal case of prostate cancer. The Scottish judiciary decided they wished to be kind to the murderer of 270 people, and let him die of his cancer at home.

I wonder how surprised MacAskill was when Libya welcomed al-Megrahi home like he was some kind of hero.

I also wonder if, since he's going to die anyway, if al-Megrahi will be strapping on a suicide belt for one last terrorist action some time soon.

Terminally-ill al-Megrahi shouldn't even have gotten the opportunity to contract cancer. He should have been executed years ago.

The message the release of this animal sends to terrorists is that if you get caught, they will still be able to be a terrorist again someday in the future.

Despicable.

This is an example of why The West is incapable of defending itself against an Islamic enemy that is determined to dominate the world, no matter how long it takes, and no matter how many deceptions they must perpetuate.

Obama's Bigger Deficit Projected

By Douglas V. Gibbs

At a time when the Obama Administration is losing ground in the approval category, in a large part for their excessive spending habits, the White House has now come out with a projection that the exploding debt will be larger than originally thought (and this is probably a low estimate).

The White House budget office is expecting a $9 trillion deficit from 2010-2019. This projection exceeds the estimate released last May, which was $2 trillion less.

They are proclaiming the reason for the additional spending is because this recession is worse than the information that they had back last fall and early this winter.

But, but, I thought they were saying just recently that Obama saved us. The recession is nearly over, they said.

Hmmmm. The recession is bad when they proclaim they need to spend a couple trillion bucks more (and of course it is all Bush's fault), and the recession is nearly over when the Democrats need to do something about Obama's dropping approval numbers.

I smell a rat.

And of course, for Obama, this is a bad time to tell the public that he is spending way too much - as he tries to convince everyone he needs to spend even more on a horrific health care plan that is thought by the opposition to be yet another socialist nail in the coffin of the private sector.

Remember, too, these are the same people that were beside themselves over Bush's spending tendencies, which now seems like a pot hole compared to the crater of spending Obama has created.

A Tactic of Misdirection

By Douglas V. Gibbs

The differential between those that strongly disapprove (40%) and those that strongly approve (29%) with Obama's presidency is worsening for the Democrats. More and more folks realize that the "Cash For Clunkers" is a failure in so many ways. The health care debate continues to go from bad to worse for the Democrats. Other signs of Democrat Party's collapse is rising up into the public's line of vision, as well, as evidenced by the fact that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is trailing his top Republican challenger by 11 points. The Left is feeling the need to do something quickly to stop the free-fall. The Statists do not understand how it could be possible that the American People does not approve of their big government agenda. The dissent is getting out of control. Heck, the Democrat faithful is even demanding Kennedy step down so that they can get an able-bodied Leftist in there (and they're even willing to deceptively change the laws, again, to make it happen!).

In short, they are falling back on a dirty tactic that worked beautifully before, and they hope will stop the bleeding now.

The demonization of, and constant attacks on, the George W. Bush Administration was one of the most successful tactics that got the liberal left into the White House, while also helping them gain control of Congress. Their constant pounding of the Bush Administration's choice of going to war, coupled with well placed embellishments on Bush's alleged lack of ability to serve as President of the United States, and of course heart-wrenching horror stories (regardless of the truth) about people suffering at the hands of the Republicans (those suffering people usually being terrorists that have killed Americans), made the American Public weary of war, and convinced the voters that Bush (and his Republican Party) was the epitome of incompetence. So, since the Democrat's devious, and deceptive, tactic worked so well once before, they are calling on the tactic once again - but this time to be used as misdirection, as well.

The desperate action of a political party in serious trouble.

On top of all that, the investigations will be supervised directly by the White House. Talk about doing whatever it takes to be in control.

The misdirection part of the plan is designed to push further Obama's distance from the Bush administration detainee policies, because people have been noticing Obama acting a lot like the hated Bush when it comes to his National Security efforts.

The CIA interrogation plan, hoping to soil a few more folks that had ties to the Bush Administration, is a sign of how stupid this Obama Administration truly is. They don't get it. They do not understand that their win in 2008 was not about the country moving Left, but about their deceptive face they showed the American People. Obama campaigned on conservative-sounding promises. Now, America is becoming wise to the lies of the Left. Secondly, the Democrat's Congressional majority is not a majority, no matter how much they wish to strut around proclaiming it is.

The liberal base can't figure the Democrats out. Their policies are failing. They can't get the votes, and it has nothing to do with the GOP. They have the votes. There are enough Democrats to pass the Health Care Bill, and all of their other wet dream bills. So why is the agenda failing? Why can't Obama and friends close the deals?

A bunch of Democrats have broken ranks.

Those Democrats were never in their ranks in the first place. Most of the seats won by the Democrats in 2008 were by conservative Democrats, some of which are more conservative than their liberal Republican opposition (a.k.a. Moderates). On top of that, the liberal left's policies are even more radical than most of the base wants. A lot of those Town Hall protesters were Democrats. People who voted for Obama were out there shouting for his head. They are losing their base, and they are collapsing the Democratic Party, and they don't even realize it.

The Leftists in power, now, are attacking their constituents, calling them extremists and members of the rightwing fringe for showing up at Tea Parties, and shouting the Democrats down at Town Hall meetings. And now they are literally at each other's throats, as well. The Leftists have shown their true face, and the public is rejecting it. Then, when faced with opposition, rather than recognize their radical agenda, they blame it all on the moderates, the media, and them damn extremist GOP conservatives.

The lunatics are doing whatever they can to shift the blame, not realizing that they are actually the fringe. They are the bad guys. They are the ones trying to change the American Form of Government into something the people do not desire, and something the Founding Fathers never intended. And their failure has the far left crazies that follow them up in arms, demanding action, wondering why they can't get their agenda in place. The Obama faithful don't understand why the Obama Administration can't deliver, when in the end it is because they don't have the votes, or the support.

Interrogating the CIA, and looking for more shadows in the dark when it comes to how the agents treated the enemy, is an attempt to get things back on track for the Democratic Party. The Left intends to create hate against their political opponents, and to make the American public hate the military more than they hate socialism.

By villainizing the CIA, and the military that was willing to serve under Bush, the Democrats will create a portrayal of Al-Qaeda that the terrorists are somehow victims. This is what the Left wants. They want the public opinion to have pity for those poor Al-Qaeda and Taliban "freedom fighters." They desire the United States to be seen as the big bad imperialistic perpetrator so that Obama can do some more apologizing for America. They think if they can get the Bush Administration to look like a bunch of warmongers again, it will show the Left to be peace loving, high ground taking saints - and perhaps during all of the anger, you will no longer notice what they are doing to America.

The American Public is wiser than that. The people know that the Obama Administration is reaching for straws. They realize that the Democrats are trying to demonize a past president once again in order to cause them to avert their eyes from the debacle of Obama's health care mess.

Iraq and Afghanistan are on Obama's watch, now. Trying to go back and rattle a few skeletons will do nothing but expose more of the Obama Administration's incompetence. They are trying to convince the people that America was a torturing nation, but the implements in question are now in the hands of the Democrats. The National Security responsibilities belong to them, and they have changed little when it comes to the techniques used by the Bush Administration.

Promises to their constituents have not been fulfilled. Gitmo isn't closed as Obama promised, secret wire-tapping hasn't stopped, and Afghanistan is becoming more of a mess than the Democrats were ever able to convince the public Iraq had become. Meanwhile, they wish to treat the blood-thirsty enemy with kid gloves, reading them Miranda Rights, and acting as if the Islamists are criminals, rather than hardened terrorists that desire that we all die because we won't believe there is no other god than Allah.

Americans are tired of the Left painting the United States as the villain. The American People also realize the the Bush Administration is now in the past. Despite what the liberal left believes, Bush and Cheney are no longer important to people. But when it comes down to it, the GOP is only the tool the Left is using. In reality, it is all about demonizing America. They desire that America be the villain so that they can convince everyone that the American Form of Government must be changed, and that they are just the Marxists to do it. Once they convince Americans of that, the socialist policies should come easy.

Eric Holder choosing to appoint a prosecutor to examine a dozen cases, or so, of CIA interrogators and contractors supposedly violating anti-torture laws, is simply designed to cause you to avert your eyes from the Left's failures and socialistic policies. They wish to use this to demonize America so that it looks like Obama still needs to make changes. This also gives them the chance to hammer on a few Republicans they hate, meanwhile providing them with the opportunity to project that hate upon the rightwing extremists that dare mount an opposition to the Left in Tea Parties and Town Hall Meetings (even though much of that dissent is also by people that voted for Obama as well). And ultimately, they are doing this so that you forget about the Health Care bill. The Democrats figure if you become angry about America under Bush again, the base will gather at anti-GOP rallies, and any unrest about the Health Care bill will be forgotten. Then, with a little luck, they will jam it through, and force it on the American People before anyone knows what hit them.

It is no accident, also, that this is happening just before 9/11. With all of the hate floating around, maybe you won't notice they've decided to change the meaning of September 11th, as well, desecrating it into a day of celebration of leftist ideals. Then, perhaps, you will also forget that the United States has been free from al-Qaeda attacks since the attacks on 9/11/2001.

Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts Dies

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Dead at 77, Teddy Kennedy now joins his brothers, President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, who were felled by assassins’ bullets in their 40s.

Mr. Kennedy served 46 years in the U.S. Senate, and is probably one of the most recognizable names in politics when it comes to Democrats in the Senate. Mr. Kennedy’s diagnosis of a lethal brain tumor did not slow him down. He continued his duties as U.S. Senator, and though I disagreed with his political positions, I respect his longevity, and determination.

The memory of Edward Kennedy's legacy in the Democratic Party will no doubt outlive many of us.

The youngest of nine Kennedy children Edward grew up around politics. Rose Kennedy once remarked "My babies were rocked to political lullabies." When Edward Kennedy was born, President Herbert Hoover sent Rose a bouquet of flowers and a note of congratulations.

Edward Kennedy graduated in 1956 with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard. He then enrolled in the University of Virginia School of Law, where his brother Robert studied. There, Edward took a degree in 1959.

Teddy's older brother, John F. Kennedy, won the presidential election in 1960, leaving vacant a Senate seat that the family considered its property. Robert Kennedy was next in line, but chose the post of attorney general instead. Younger Edward was only 28, two years shy of the minimum age of 30 for Senate service.

While Edward Kennedy waited for his thirtieth birthday, and a special election, the Senate seat was held by a close family friend, Benjamin A. Smith II. During the two years Edward needed to wait, he traveled the world and worked as an assistant district attorney in Boston, waiving the $5,000 salary and serving instead for $1 a year.

In 1962, Mr. Kennedy declared his candidacy for the remaining two years of his brother's Senate term. He battled Edward J. McCormack Jr. in a bitter fight, but won in the end.

A stubborn competitor, it is a surprise Edward didn't last longer against the foe that took his life. He fought against the brain tumor in the same manner he fought against all other opponents - with everything he had.

The political landscape has lost a loud voice, and a patriarch of the Democratic Party.

Good bye, Mr. Kennedy. It has been an interesting ride.

Athens Fire Still Ablaze

By Douglas V. Gibbs

In Greece the worst fire since 2007 continues to burn, fueled by strong winds and hot temperatures. Behind it is the path of destruction of forestry, and ahead of it the evacuations of hospitals, camp grounds, retirement homes, and communities.

The fire risk remains "extremely high" while flames are igniting in new areas as the winds carry the glowing embers across the landscape. There have been no casualties, and the property damage cost remains unknown. Dozens of homes have been damaged, and a state of emergency was declared three days ago.

The fire is approaching the city of Athens, which has a population of 4.5 million. The evacuations have been in the tens of thousands of people.

Global Government, International Swine Flu Conference Implications, Controlling the Populace Through Quarantines

By Douglas V. Gibbs

The elitists of the leftist global order would like to take your kids from you. They plan to take advantage of mass quarantines and mass vaccinations to do this, if we let them. H1N1 is the global emergency they've been waiting for, a catastrophe engineered over generations, carefully prepared by powerful and influential globalists to take the next step in controlling the population.

Are we getting ready to be forced to face mandatory Government Orders to get vaccinated with the H1N1 Vaccine? Are we on the verge of total Government Control over our lives while they claim it is simply to keep us safe from the rising epidemic? Could the government use quarantine to take control of political dissidents?

The big government elite recently discussed how to carry out mass vaccinations, mass quarantines, and mass power of the government over the people in an International Swine Flu Conference that ended only four days ago!

Did you hear anything about this conference in the news? Did television news magazines discuss it? Have any of the newspapers reported on it?

Just like the secrets behind the vaccinations, the hidden agenda behind the Codex Alimentarius Commission, and the global aspirations of the global leftist elite, the mass media has no intention of allowing the truth to leak out.

The CDC and the government leftist elitists have been warning of worldwide outbreaks of some kind of disease for years. They have been working on the next pandemic that will "decimate humanity." They desire an outbreak that will make the 1918 Spanish Flu look small.

They hoped the Avian Flu was that outbreak.

Reminding you of Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" yet?

Now, H1N1 (Swine Flu) has become the leftist's promised vehicle towards controlling the worldwide populace. According to the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control, the H1N1 Swine Flu is a global pandemic that that has killed 700 people worldwide.

How is that a pandemic? The regular flu in America kills 35,000 annually. The Spanish Flu in 1918 killed 50 million. So the question arises, is the Swine Flu an out of control pandemic, or do they just hope it will become one?

The Spanish Flu killed more than did the Black Plague, and it turned out to be the result of our government secretly experimenting on our own American troops. The disease originated at a military base in central Kansas (Fort Riley). A soldier came down with a fever that infected 100 others before the day had the opportunity to end.

Even then, the attempt by man to play God in an attempt to achieve control over the populace was alive and well.

Ever since that moment there have been stories after stories of vaccines triggering diseases that have become detrimental to our society. For example, reports surfaced that the HIV/AIDS disease activated through the smallpox vaccine. Many proclaimed it to be a deliberate act that is a part of the depopulation agenda.

The Swine Flu Vaccine that will be injected into your arm in October (so they say, and if you allow it) has been linked to a brain disorder. In Germany the vaccine has been linked to cancer. And this is the material they want to inject into the bodies of everyone worldwide in a massive global vaccination being demanded by the World Health Organization. The vaccine was allegedly magically conjured up in a matter of months by Baxter Pharmaceuticals. The truth is, Baxter applied for the swine flu vaccination patents in 2008, long before any breakouts were even confirmed.

Statistics link autism and other diseases to vaccines, as well. These government-proclaimed and corporate attempts to protect us from disease have become more about the all mighty dollar, and control of the population, than about protecting the populace. With the attention the H1N1 vaccine is getting, the feeling I am quickly realizing is that it is going to be mandatory. Should I refuse to be vaccinated, what will be my penalty? Will I receive treatment from the government similar to that a criminal would receive? Would I be hunted down, treated, and quarantined?

In 1976 a similar scene of the government sanctioning our local schools to mass vaccinate our children took place. It was in response to a similar flu scare, and in the end more people died from the vaccine than from the actual flu virus.

More evidence that the flu epidemic is either engineered, or being created through hype in the hopes one will surface, surfaces when you realize that the CDC and FEMA have purchased hundreds of thousands of plastic coffins. Why would the government purchase so many coffins? Could it be that the government has been planning on this coming epidemic of global proportions for a long time, just waiting for the right outbreak to appear? Or is the outbreak coming due to careful planning? Going back to my mention of a depopulation agenda, could it be that they would like to purge society of its extra population, and allow the government to create a police state in the guise of protecting us from the panic over the flu? Internationalists are using the state of fear to create an environment that will ultimately give them the ability to take control of the entire worldwide population.

This clears up a lot of data we've been seeing regarding the creation of internment camps, and the National Guard's recent push for hiring "Internment Specialists." H.R. 645 calls for six internment camps to be built on the property of U.S. military installations. The Pentagon has made a request for 400,000 troops to be deployed to American soil.

Could it be for quarantine? Are they expecting H1N1 riots? Are they expecting those crazy rightwingers on their watch list to react to their sudden seizure of power? Will these troops and internment camps be used to hold members of the populace that refuse the vaccination, and ultimately to house political dissidents?

Civic unrest over the panic of a pandemic is what they desire, even if they have to create such a scenario through the media and well placed lies, in turn inducing hysteria and panic. It creates the perfect storm for martial law. It allows the government the perfect opportunity to take control of the populace, under the guise of protecting the people from themselves, and a rampant flu. And in the process, the opportunity to round up those deemed to be a threat by the Homeland Security Report (you know, those rightwing extremists) will be easily taken advantage of.

Individuals have become the enemies of the state. The threat of a flu killing millions is now on the minds of the populace constantly. The message is being perpetuated by the biased lap-dog media, and is being accepted by the global population blindly. The result will be the excuse to create a police state orchestrated by the government, and ultimately, by worldwide organizations like The United Nations, or an organization poised to replace the U.N. with greater powers, and wider controls and authority.

The United Nations, or the UN's replacement on the horizon, armed with the support of the Obama Administration, and the rest of the big government leftist bureaucrats, will then have us right where they want us.

Isn't it interesting that this coincides with a financial collapse? Isn't it interesting that all of this is happening as the forces calling for a new world order are at their loudest? Isn't it interesting this is happening as the Obama Administration, along with the far left Democrats, are poised to change the American Form of Government into a socialistic nightmare that the Bolsheviks would be proud of (without ever having to fire a shot)?

As terrorists attack population centers, violence again erupts in Iraq and various other places around the Middle East, as violent crime rates escalate, as leftist elitists position themselves for control of the populace, and the hysteria of Climate Change has everyone afraid that the sky is falling, and as the worldwide leaders create the illusion that out of control disease plagues the world, the populace will cry out for "Peace and Security." And the government will provide that peace and security. All you have to do is trade in your liberty.

The frightening scenario presented here, however, is not a forgone conclusion. Individuals standing up for liberty, and combatting the rise of big government, can stop this.

Be loud. Be aware. Ask questions. Demand liberty.

San Mateo School Thwarts Columbine-Style Attack

By Douglas V. Gibbs

A seventeen year old set off two pipe bombs, and was trying to start a chainsaw, setting off an evacuation at San Mateo Hillsdale High School. Armed with a sword, and eight more pipe bombs strapped to his body, the Columbine-style plot was stopped short as police apprehended the teen.

After the two bombs went off, the teen was confronted by teachers. After he fled, a third teacher caught up to him and tackled him. The suspect was held down by the third teacher who was later assisted by the school principal.

No one was hurt when the explosions went off, and take careful notice that no gun was found.

Perhaps now the Left will try to outlaw pipes and chainsaws.

Desecration of 9/11

By Matthew Vadum

The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry.

This effort to reshape the American psyche has nothing to do with healing the nation and everything to do with easing the nation along in the ongoing radical transformation of America that President Obama promised during last year's election campaign. The president signed into law a measure in April that designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service, but it's not likely many lawmakers thought this meant that day was going to be turned into a celebration of ethanol, carbon emission controls, and radical community organizing.

H.R. 2159: Democrat Gun Grab


When the Department of Homeland Security, under the guiding eyes of Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and gang, determined in a report that people with conservative beliefs are potential Domestic Terrorists, it was alarming.

When in May I came across H.R. 2159: Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009, I was alarmed. Not because I don't want terrorists to be denied firearms and explosives, but because by using the Department of Homeland Security report, the government could effectively remove all firearms from the majority of Americans with a simple accusation.

The sinister bill has been slowly working its way through Congress, having the last activity on June 12 when it was referred to a House Committee.

A similar bill was introduced in the Senate in 2007, but never made it out of committee.

After the DHS Report, another document, the "Domestic Extremism Lexicon" surfaced. It adds more suspected domestic terrorists to the government's list of enemies, including people working in the alternative media, pro-life activists, "decentralized" terrorists, and others.

Hmmm, that sounds a lot like me.

Distributed to federal, state, local, and tribal counter terrorism and law enforcement officials, these reports are supposed to help deter, prevent, preempt, or respond to terrorist attacks against the United States.

Or, they can help facilitate the rounding up of political dissidents.

One example of over-zealous Obama-lovers acting against anyone daring to seem like they may be "anti-government" was when a man was stopped and detained in Louisiana for displaying a "Don’t tread one me" bumper sticker on his car. A background check found the man not to be a member of an "extremist" group, but the very fact that he was pulled over in the first place is despicable.

"Don’t tread on me" has its roots in the American Revolution where it was originally displayed on a flag designed by general and statesman Christopher Gadsden during the Revolutionary War. The leftists in power, however, see it as a terrorist symbol in their Department of Homeland Security "Rightwing Extremist" report. "Don't Tread On Me" is an announcement of liberty, and the rejection of a controlling government - and the Democrats can't have that kind of dissent.

How many conservatives are on Obama's "watch lists" designated as domestic terrorists? If H.R. 159 becomes law, will the Obama administration and the Justice Department go after opponents to their policies, and disarm them in the process? Will they use H.R. 2159 to disarm law-abiding citizens for daring to stand up and speak out against the Left's fascist aims?

Will the U.S. Constitution be deemed a document that foments domestic terrorism, and be outlawed too?

The death of America by the hands of the leftist Democrats will be avoided if we continue to remain strong, and continue to pressure government into abandoning their aim for a strong, central, socialistic government through rallies, letters, phone calls, and all other means of getting our message out to them, and our fellow Americans.

A Joke About Leftism That Says It All


Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel " pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land".

Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, " Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised land".

Now Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of camels, and mortgaged the promised land.

Leftist Drivel - Liberal Mental Disorder

By Douglas V. Gibbs

I sometimes have the silly notion, when debating members of the Left, that these people "think." I forget that these liberal leftists are so invested in their selfish desires, and justifying whatever lunacy they have signed on to, that they are incapable of recognizing the truth even if it hit them in the face.

Liberal Tom, an obsessed leftist reader of Political Pistachio is a prime example of this kind of poor soul that has been so deceived by the creeping incrementalism that has taken hold of America that they are unable to distinguish between their butt and a hole in the ground.

Lately, just for fun, I have published some of his comments. He thinks I don't publish them, normally, because I can't handle his arguments. In reality, it is usually because his offerings are usually so idiotic I just don't have the time to dissect, and respond to each wrong point.

People like Tom constantly lie, misread facts, or just don't understand the obvious.

They are not looking for sense, they are searching for something to attack. When he reads my posts he could care less about the truth - it is his goal to try to find something to pin on the wall and somehow use for a shocking revelation that may look like his lunacy somehow deserves some kind of validation.

For example, when I wrote about amnesty, his response was how horrible it was that I would send back to Mexico the parents of the anchor babies who are citizens and would remain behind. I never suggested splitting the families up. The kids can leave too. They are more than welcome to join their parent on the bus home where they belong.

I have no problem with immigration. Immigrants make this nation great. Illegal immigrants who have no intention of contributing to the melting pot, however, are a stain that needs to be removed, and sent back to where they belong.

The Fourteenth Amendment was written with emancipated slaves in mind, and was designed to ensure those slaves born in the U.S. were citizens. A child, born of two foreigners who are in the country illegally, is hardly a citizen. The parents are illegal. Therefore, the birth in the U.S. is illegal. Never, in a million years, would the Founding Fathers have supported a woman running across the border to have a child just in time so that the kid could be a citizen and sponsor the whole family to come over who has no intention of being Americans, but only to take advantage of unconstitutional government entitlements.

You have to understand, these people who worship the Left are so deceived that they are unable to recognize the obvious. The indoctrination goes so deep that they are unable to reason.

Such as when I agreed with a Town Hall protester when he declared Nazis to be a bunch of leftists. Tom thought that was an example of revising history. But, all one has to do is think (of which the Left doesn't do) and the answer is obvious. The Nazi Party was the party of National Socialism. Socialism being the key word. They believed that the government should have an increased role in the life of the citizens. Government control over the people was the platform of the Nazi Party, including a take over of the health care system.

When applied to the Political Spectrum, of which the far right represents no government, and the far left is total government, it is easy to see that Nazism was a leftist ideology that inhabited a spot on the political spectrum far to the left of the center line.

The leftists in America have been so indoctrinated into believing that any kind of nationalism is somehow a conservative trait, that they are firm believers that Nazis and Skin Heads, are somehow on the Right. The fact that they believe in a complete takeover by government seems not to be a factor.

Also, anything that involves religion is conservative too, according to the Leftists, regardless of the religion.

Therefore, the Left sees Islamism as conservative.

But think about the leftist characteristics of the Islamic political ideology (that masks itself as a religion). Islam believes in controlling the people through a theocratic government - and few ideologies are more leftist than theocracies. Total control of the people through a government that uses religious fervor to solidify that control is even more leftist than the liberals. Yet, these small minded lefties actually believe that Islamism is conservative.

Writing this piece, ultimately, is pretty useless, because people like Tom mindlessly follow the marching orders that have been pounded into their brain, and he will no doubt write an opposition piece that basically barks the leftist marching orders. People like Tom are unable to stop and think long enough to realize the truth of the matter. He has been trained well by the Left.

"Roll over, sit, bark. . . Good Boy!"

It is amazing, really, because almost everything he accuses the right of being, in reality is is often guilty of.

But like I said earlier, I often make the false assumption that these people think. The more I get to know their thought patterns, the more I realize the lights are on, but nobody is home.

I pray for him, anyhow. You never know. The light may come on someday - maybe as a result of being exposed to the truth as he is every day by reading my writings.

One can hope.

"All the people that are suffering under our current system." - Kirsten Powers

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Saturday Morning, on Fox News Watch, longtime journalist and Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers had a lot to say about health care in the United States. As a Democratic Party sympathizer, her comments made it apparent that she is in the tank for Obama and his liberal left Congressional cronies.

She said that we need government health care because of "all the people that are suffering under our current system."

If it is so horrible, then why didn't Obama reach into his deep pockets and give his grandma better care than what she was getting? If it is so terrible, then why isn't people like Kirsten going to Canada for their care?

Last time I checked, Canadians were crossing the border to come to America for their care.

Of course, right about now the argument the Leftists will present is that the infant mortality rate is higher in the U.S., and that the lower mortality rate in Canada is due to the government takeover of the health care system.

If that is the case, then why is it that high-risk pregnant Canadian women are being sent to the U.S. to ensure safe deliveries and newborn survival?

According to Kirsten Powers, the health care is so horrendous in the United States that hordes of people are being "Rejected for health care in the current system . . . refused care for existing conditions. . . are being left to die," and that the media not pointing these atrocities out "creates a vacuum for people to make things up."

I've heard that drivel before, Kirsten. Rather than accuse those that are against a government takeover of the health care industry of making things up, how about you read H.R. 3200 - and study the history of government controlled health care - and how it has always failed.

Also, more news of reality for Kirsten Powers is that most people that are uninsured either choose not to be insured, are in the process of changing jobs and haven't secured their insurance yet, or are illegal aliens and should not even be in this country in the first place.

The problem of the uninsured has been greatly exaggerated in the hopes of creating a fervor among the people so that they would demand a change in the system.

I am not saying that our current system, especially the way the insurance system is being run, is the best it can be. I agree with the Leftists that there are some serious problems with the system in its current state. But the solution isn't injecting more government into it. Government intrusion into the health care system is the reason it is not functioning properly in the first place. The free market needs to be the driving force behind health care, not government regulations and control.

Leftists will proclaim that kicking government out of the industry will be a recipe for greed and unethical activities in the world of health care. The reality of it, however, is that with the government having such a firm hand in the health care industry, opportunity is given to lobbyists, and their money funded by various health care and corporate interests, to bend and sway the politicians to their desire, and create corruption the free market could never be able to conjure up. Politicians, working with corrupt members of large public corporations, and various health care interest groups, have created a tangled web of tax and employment laws that make the system incredibly inefficient, and has herded costs up at a pace that exceeds any past inflationary increases.

If we were to let the free market truly drive health care, the consumer becomes the watch dog of the industry, and the patient ensures the greedy, corrupt members of the system remain honest, and fair. After all, if the consumer gets wind of unethical activities in the market, they change providers, and the crooked members of the industry go out of business.

In a customer - provider relationship, without a third party like insurance companies, the medical providers are forced to present quality medicine at a reasonable price, or risk losing their customer base to competitors. Insurance should only become involved for catastrophic care, not the basic visits to the doctor.

Democrats want nothing to do with using the Free Market to fix the system, and small-minded Republicans think they have to come up with another, less intrusive, government system to compete with the Left. In other words, none of the cockroaches in Washington are giving the Free Market a fair shake, or any serious consideration.

If we put the industry back into the position to serve the consumer directly, competition will truly return, and we will see a health care system that will ultimately seek out to improve outcomes through more efficient means. That is how free markets work.

Prices are not based on what the consumer can afford. The current costs of the health care industry are based on what the deep pockets of the insurance companies can dish out, while the medical professionals do anything and everything they can to avoid getting sued by ambulance chasing lawyers.

Health insurance needs to be uncoupled from the tax code, taking employers out of the mix. The removal of employer required health care would free up funds for wages, and allow that increase of wages to be used by the consumer to use the free market to buy the health care of their choice. As it stands now, our payment into the health care industry is redistributed through the human resource systems of corporations, to the bloated bureaucracy of health insurance companies, and controlled by ridiculous regulations by the all-powerful government. That is where health care money gets wasted.

Deregulating the health insurance system would remove the government's iron fist over the industry. Getting government out of the picture would allow free market forces to begin working. With a free market approach, we will see a return to the system we had half a century ago where high deductible plans covered only "major medical" events, and consumers paid for routine health care visits. This Free Market model would in turn guide the health care industry into a more efficient and more effective model that thrives under free market pressures.

Government micro-managing health insurance is one of the major causes of the problem. If government intrusion into the system is the problem, then how is it possible that a plan like H.R. 3200, where government takes an increased role in the administration and payment of health care, is the solution?

Increased government regulation and intrusion is not the solution, and in the long run will destroy our health care system if a public option ever becomes law.

If the government wants to do something so that it can be a part of the solution, rather than being a large part of the problem, they can consider passing a bill that institutes tort reform.

Infant Mortality Rate Prompts Canada To Send High-Risk Pregnant Women Across The Border - All Headline News

Malwar Virus Targeting Development Environment


Win32.Induc is a virus that is unusual in the world of technology. Rather than deleting files, or doing the malicious things that computer virus' do, this virus targets a development environment.

The virus was designed to attack applications built with Delphi, which in turn is used to write Windows programs, including database applications.

It renders your software useless by putting code in programs that will cause the software to be blocked by antivirus technology.

Even developers have had the virus invade their systems, and then they unknowingly allowed the virus to infect their new creations. TV Free 2.41 and Tidy Favorites 4.1 have been infected. As many as 30 percent of developers who use Delphi could be affected.

Antivirus vendors are updating their programs to fight off this nasty virus, but in many cases, the damage has been done.

In fact, last night I had to do a full recovery. It was the only solution in my case, as my system network spread the virus to both computers, and brought them to their knees.

If Pelosi is looking for Swastikas. . .

A USMC Veteran, David William Hedrick, at a town hall meeting in Clark County, Washington on August 18, 2009 with an audience of about 3,000 people was chosen to be one questioner of 38. he didn't expect to be called on, but during the couple minutes before he was expected to go forward he scratched his questions and comments on a sheet of paper. When his opportunity with the microphone came, he let U.S. Congressman Brian Baird have it with both barrels.

Look carefully what happens at the end. And this is the face of extremism, according to the Left. This is one of those dangerous voices of dissent that dares to disagree with the socialistic maneuvers by Liberalism. This is the face of America that the Democrats are villainizing.



My favorite statements were: "I heard you say you're gonna let us keep our health insurance. . . it's not your right to decide whether or not I keep my current plan or not. That's my decision." And after referring to people like Pelosi calling the Town Hall protesters Brownshirts, "A little history lesson: The Nazis were the National Socialist Party. They were Leftists. They took over the finance, they took over the car industry, they took over health care in that country. If Nancy Pelosi wants to find a swastika, maybe the first place she should look is the sleeve of her own arm."

And I echo David William Hedrick's question as a Veteran: I kept my oath to defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Congress, do you plan to keep that oath?

Ramadan Message From Obama - Who Wanted Nothing To Do With National Day Of Prayer

Notice at one point he refers to his own Christian Religion (remember, he has twisted and criticized Biblical Text, and spent twenty years in a church teaching Black Liberation Theology which finds its roots in Marxist beliefs).

Also, while he has done everything to reject his supposed Christian Faith, this is the same guy that proclaimed the U.S. is no longer a Christian Nation, and bowed to the Saudi King.

And now, Obama's Ramadan Message:



So, in conclusion, he rejected giving a National Day of Prayer message, but gave a Ramadan message with a grin, and a little bit of history.

What's wrong with this picture?
