Freedom of BLEEP

As Honduras fights to defend its democracy, Fidel Castro and President Obama object.

Hondurans have ousted President Manuel Zelaya for attempting to rewrite their constitution. Opponents of Zelaya have pointed out that he was illegally trying to expand the limits of his power and the length of his term. The initiative was rejected by Congress, the Public Ministry, the Supreme Electoral Court and the Supreme Court, among other entities, all of whom believe that the measure is not lawful.

Yet Obama disagrees with the citizens of Honduras who are fighting to protect democracy. He has proclaimed that Zelaya is the rightful leader of Honduras and that the US will help resolve the matter.

Meanwhile, Obama has sat idly by while protesters in Iran are shot by a seemingly illegitimate government.

Obama has pledged to “stand on the side of democracy.” Why then, do his views consistently align with dictators like Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez? We should keep a keen eye on how these affairs pan out, as similar events may soon transpire right here at home. We’ve already discussed Obama’s stance on fair elections…

Once again, President Obama has proven he doesn’t have a clue.

Lately, he’s been saying that our values will shield us from terrorism. But despite Obama’s code of conduct crusade, Osama bin Laden has issued another threat to the United States. He says “Obama has planted new seeds of hatred” and Americans should be prepared to suffer the consequences. So exactly how is our president going to protect us with his enchanted value system? And have “values” really inspired terrorism in the past? Who’s values? Bill Clinton’s values? Bush had only been in office a short time when 9/11 occurred.

Meanwhile, our president seems perfectly content to remain in his magical world of fantasy and imagination. The White House issued a statement saying this isn’t a real threat, al Qaeda is just trying to distract people from Obama’s speech. Instead of throwing a temper tantrum about not receiving enough attention, maybe Obama should get out of campaign mode and start thinking about a realistic strategy to keep this country safe.

Osama bin Laden, Alive and Well

The threat reveals that Osama bin Laden is alive, aware of current events, and in communication with the outside world. Remember when President Obama said that Osama isn’t a threat as long as he’s hiding in a cave somewhere? Man, and people thought George W. Bush was stupid.

Now Obama is even suggesting that the United States is one of the largest Muslim nations. Sorry, but a two percent Muslim population doesn’t qualify this country as a Muslim nation by any stretch of the imagination. Much less one of the largest Muslim nations in the world.

This man is just pathetic. He really thinks that everyone will like us better if he goes around telling the world that Americans have poor values. Maybe he could try reminding radical Muslims that we were the ones who liberated Kuwaiti Muslims, protected Kosovoian Muslims, helped Bosnian Muslims, and feed Somali Muslims, just to name a few.

As the world watches and waits to see whether the swine flu will become a global pandemic, the White House has decided that it’s not worth it to close the border with Mexico, the only country thus far to have fatalities associated with the illness. Over 2,000 people have been hospitalized, and 149 people  have died in Mexico, many between the ages of 25-45. The outbreak is so serious that the country is literally on the verge of shutting down. Other countries confirming infections include Scotland, Spain, and Canada, while New Zealand, Brazil, Israel, Sweden, Switzerland, and France are conducting tests.

Within the United States, New York, Ohio, Texas, Kansas, and California have already confirmed cases of the swine flu. Yet, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano believes that passively screening entering Mexicans is perfectly adequate to contain the virus. “We are simply in preparation mode. We do not yet know how widespread this flu will be within the United States.” Considering the fact that a person infected with the virus might not exhibit symptoms for 24-48 hours, they may be feeling fine when they are screened.  Not that it matters, since even people who claim to feel unwell have not been allowed entry.   Napolitano is relying on “personal responsibility” and “common sense” of persons entering the United States. Good thing Mexicans coming into our country are taking this risk so seriously.

Napolitano’s rationale is at best naïve and at worst a flagrant disregard for the safety of Americans. But she’s already proven she’s not the brightest crayon in the box. The cases found in the U.S. have luckily been mild, but just because the virus has already been found in certain states doesn’t mean we need to allow many more infected people into our country. That would do nothing more than increase the chances of a larger outbreak in the U.S.  Although the World Health Organization has raised the pandemic threat to 4 out of 6, Obama promises that the situation is “not a cause for alarm.”  Let’s hope that a more serious problem doesn’t arise before Washington decides to act with common sense. No me gusta.

The United States isn’t the only country that President Obama has been insulting. He also recently insulted the UK, one of our closest allies. Maybe Obama should speak for himself when he calls Americans “arrogant.”

In a customary gift exchange, Prime Minister Gordon Brown gave Obama a pen holder fashioned from the anti-slavery ship HMS Gannet, a framed commissioning paper from the HMS Resolute (the Resolute desk is in the Oval Office), and a first edition biography of Winston Churchill. Needless to say, these are all priceless gifts.

What did Obama give to Brown? A box of 25 American DVDs. And they were region 1 encoded so Brown won’t even be able to play them on his DVD player in the UK! Traditionally, such gift exchanges are thoughtful, but the amount of thought that went into this gift is embarrasing.

Obama gave Brown a very nice bust of Winston Churchill as well.. which was originally given to the United States from the UK on 9/11 as a symbol of unity. And Obama gave it back! This isn’t a Seinfeld script, it really happened!

Obama also gave the Queen of England an iPod. She already had one.

Now the US government is going to send $900 million to help rebuild Gaza. Rebuild? Bombings occur in Gaza all the time. And as long as Hamas is bombing Israelies, it will probably continue.

That’s only the tip of the iceberg of this fallacy.

Apparently, they’ve already forgotten that whatever aid we send to the Palestinians eventually ends up in the hands of Hamas. Just earlier this month, the UN had to discontinue shipments because they haven’t been able to stop Hamas police from stealing all the supplies. This militant group has killed tens of thousands of civilians and executes suicide-bombings on a regular basis. Why are we funding their war?

Hamas Supporters in Gaza

Why do people think that Obama’s policies will make terrorists like the United States? On the contrary, Al Qaeda is mocking him! Terrorists aren’t rational people… Think about it, they blow themselves up!

Furthermore, is it really a good idea to send a billion dollars to Palestine when we are in a deepening recession with no sight in end? Actions like this have caused China to rethink backing the US dollar, and if they pull out their investment our money will be practically worthless. And you think the economy is bad now…

Obama recently approved $20 million for the migration of Gaza refugees. Where are these refugees going to “migrate,” you ask?

Well, the docket certainly implies they will be coming to the U.S., since some of the funding will be allotted to our Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the Department of State. A primary function of this agency is “admitting refugees to the United States.”

An executive order designed to allow Palestinians from Gaza to resettle in the United States is frightening. These are the same people who voted Hamas into power en masse. And 55% of them support suicide bombings.

How many Hamas operatives and other terrorists will slip into the U.S. through this huge influx of Gaza refugees? Thanks to Obama’s soft-on-terror attitude, they shouldn’t have a problem doing so.

The primary purpose of the Government should be to protect us. But Obama seems to think the government is supposed to do everything but protect us. Major media outlets have not reported on this order, and only time will tell the outcome.
