Bush on the Verge of Doing Something Spectacular?
What Mr. Bush knows, and Congress doesn't want the taxpayers to know, is that the vast majority of the offending earmarks--the ones that aren't part of the actual budget law and were instead "air-dropped" into the committee report--aren't legally binding. A Dec. 18 legal analysis by the Congressional Research Service found that most of the committee reports have not been formally passed by both houses and "presented" to the President for signing, and thus have not become law. "President Bush could ignore the 90% of earmarks that never make it to the floor of the House or Senate for a vote," says Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina, who has read the CRS report. "He doesn't need a line-item veto."
Federal agencies would still be obligated to spend the dollars appropriated by Congress. But they could use the money higher priorities that would benefit all taxpayers, rather than on favors for special interests or political donors. For example, the $700,000 for a bike trail in Minneapolis could be used to rebuild the collapsed bridge in that city and to strengthen others. In addition, under such an executive order, future earmarks would likely have to go through committee hearings and would receive much greater scrutiny and publicity than they do now.
Sure, this move would undoubtedly inflame the Libtards even more than ever, but President Bush needs to make this move for a few reasons. First, they will fight even harder during the next spending bill to stop funding the war that they have been trying to undermine for political reasons. Second, it would set an excellent precedent for Congress to stop earmarking everything imaginable. Third, it would help to undo some of the damage that was done by the increases in government under his watch. Of course, doing out of principal is reason all on its own. What will the Liberals do? How much crying could they possible do over this move? Even they wouldn't be stupid enough to go on TV to attack President Bush for putting a stop to a series of irresponsible and ethically questionable (at best) series of expenditures. Even assuming the Moonbats take full control of the party and try to use this as reason to pursue a failed impeachment proceeding, the effects would blow up in their face because the public wouldn't be so stupid as to not see the real underlying reason that they would only be pursuing this action because they were denied from gouging the taxpayers in outrageous spending provisions that serve as kickbacks to their donors. It should be a slam dunk and rank up there as one of the best moves that President Bush has done during his tenure.

Don't Do It President Bush
Among some of the problems with the economy today is the sub-prime market, in which irresponsible lenders, and irresponsible borrowers, have cost the economy dearly. There should be no bail out, there should be no hand-out, the market should be allowed to self correct. By providing these groups with tax funds taken from every individuals' earning, all people are learning is that irresponsible behavior will be rewarded. That's not to say some hardworking, honest people are getting beaten down, but the great majority of those in this market knew exactly what they were getting into. Another reason given is that of rising gas prices. See my previous post for my take on that.
On Wednesday, the Club for Growth release a study that proves that the market under performs when Congress is in session. A so called "stimulus" package that President Bush would put forth would do far more damage than good. First, our deficit is entirely too high, a "stimulus" package would result in a larger deficit. President Bush has done a good job of shrinking the deficit since our government began to run one due to discretionary spending due to the War on Terror. Second, government spending has a very, very, very poor record on actually being effective on what it is used for. Third, Americans need more empowerment to control their own destinies rather than less.
Unless this "stimulus" package would be a drastic reduction in government spending, coupled with a slash in tax rates, it will do far more harm than good. By reducing government spending and cutting taxes, two positives will be achieved. The first positive will be a reduction in deficit spending which will strengthen our dollar. The second positive, by cutting taxes, will be positive for the American tax payer, who is grossly overburdened, and who will have more disposable income and help offset the increase in gas prices. By restoring American citizens to a higher level of income, reducing the inflation tax, and strengthening our dollar, every one will be better off. It is completely mind boggling that President Bush would even consider for a microcosm of a second to follow a plan that would pursue the exact opposite positions and more than likely plunge us into a recession, one the media, and of course, the Liberals have been hoping for just as much as they have been hoping for Iraq to be a failure (old article, as it has long been their sick hope). Hopefully, with the same resolve that President Bush resisted the Liberal love-fest for defeat in Iraq, the Economic lunacy they are seeking will be avoided and turned into a great victory for America.

Slovak Authorities Stop the Sale of Uranium For Use in Dirty Bomb
"Police were watching the sellers as well as the buyers," Kopcik said. He refused to give more information on the buyers however. The radioactive material was due to be sold for 3,500 dollars a gramme, he added, giving a total price of about 1.6 million dollars (one million euros).
It is the latest in a series of cases involving the sale of radioactive material in Slovakia and the neighbouring Czech Republic.
In 2004, two former Slovak army officers were found guilty by a Czech court of attempting to sell uranium. The two were arrested at a hotel outside Brno in November 2003 after they tried to sell three kilogrammes (6.5 pounds) of the substance.
Refused to give more information on they buyers? That would be extremely relevant, would it not? Remember the Czech's report and their adamant stance that Mohammad Atta was in the Czech Republic prior to the 9/11 attacks? They also said they had evidence that could prove an Iraqi Intelligence officer met with Atta in Prague. The left worked hard to discredit this story even intentionally printing fabrications about what President Havel has said. Read this article for a refresher. The Czech Republic and Slovokia have been taking an active role in the war on terror from the outset, very away of the problem radical Islam has posed. Keep in mind also that the EU has a history of trying to be politically correct to fault, even going so far as trying to hide from the rest of the world that radical Islamists are the ones rioting in the streets of France, firing at police, and being a destructive hoard in general. The importance of this of course, is to show the track record that the EU has of trying to use terms other than Islamic radicals, even the Heathrow attack this year was described by the British as "Asians." The Czechs have been pro-active in helping us in the War on Terror as have the Slovaks. So I'll go out on a limb here:
Sellers: Former military or science officials from former Soviet Bloc nations.
Buyers: Current members of Islam
Any takers? So here's the suppression that will take place, the leftist media won't have the stones to put this out there that radical Islamists came damn close to acquiring materials for a dirty bomb, or else they validate what President Bush has been telling us for so long. They also risk violating their own self policing of being politically correct. They also fail to recognize that is entirely feasible these two attempted acquisitions were not the only ones and that they have secured plutonium or uranium already. Evidence be damned, the Leftists need to paint the world the way they see it, even if innocents are killed and laws are violated to do so.

Obama: I Smoked Alot of Weed and Would Have Snorted More Coke If I Had More Money
"Junkie. Pothead. That's where I'd been headed: the final fatal role of the young would be black man," Obama wrote. Mostly he smoked marijuana and drank alcohol, Obama wrote, but occasionally he would snort cocaine when he could afford it.
Drugs, Obama wrote, were a way he "could push questions of who I was out of my mind, something that could flatten out the landscape of my heart, blur the edges of my memory."
Wow. First, when there were allegations that President Bush used coke, everyone went nuts, here...not so much...because he's a liberal. Again, I will give Obama alot of credit on the honesty factor here. However, giving this talk in front of high school students isn't going to show them that "if you use drugs, things will be bad", it's more of "if you use drugs now, things will turn out A-Ok for you in the future," which is what his story pretty much has a plot.Additionally, Mr. Obama, Being a junkie or pothead is not the "final, fatal role of the young would-be-black man is." That is the furthest from the truth. Not all black men use drugs, and not all white people do. Nor is it OK to suggest that because you were black that you were more susceptible to drug use, that is what we call....racist. Additionally, saying you would have used more coke if you had more money is just sad. Buy hey, if you were at one point an addict and you overcame that, I give you alot of credit on that, that truly is great that you overcame that ginormous obstacle. However, once again, I would like to remind you that color should not be important in this debate. I am not of mixed race, though I have alot of friends who are, and I can't say I know any who drank or did anything else because of it. In fact, none of my friends who are of different ethnic backgrounds ever used that as an excuse for anything, and basically, snickered at the people who sympathized with them who thought that it was an excuse. It was a joke to them, and one that I understood. If someone would forgive you for being an average youth of any persuasion, susceptible to everything any youth of any race would be subject too, why not let someone think more highly of you for no reason other than your race, or your perceived social status. There has never been a difference between blacks, whites, hispanics, or asians, other than ones that people have carefully created in their minds. I was a lower middle class white kid whose best friends were lower middle class blacks in my most formative years. The only arguments we ever had between us was who was going to sit in the middle back seat when we all went out. Money was never an issue between any of us, who ever was short of money when we went to Taco Bell got covered by the rest of us. That's why race isn't an issue to me, never has been, never will be. Barack Obama gets great respect for addressing his issues, but my criticism for doing it how he did. I just wish the white media could express the same thing. Hey, we all make mistakes, but this was a bad mistake for him to make at a time when he was starting to surge past Hillary. But then again, if this was his way of subverting Hillary's "dirt," again, I'll respect that. My issue with him has never been his honesty, as it has been with Hillary, but rather, my direct and polar opposite of political opinions, as he at least makes a statement consistent with what he believes even, no matter how wrong I think it is.

President Bush Further Ruins International Relations as North Korea Expresses Gratitude to US
"We feel grateful to the United States for its assistance given to our crewmen. This case serves as a symbol of the DPRK [North Korea]-U.S. cooperation in the struggle against terrorism," the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency said.
Further more, how dare our President have an official North Korean statement denounce an act of terrorism, the first time they have ever done that in cooperation with our nation. Oh howl at the moon all ye moonbats. How dare our military assist a nation that we are not on great terms with when faced with a grave threat. How dare he do the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing. Grrrr.....

Something for You to Ponder
They declared the Surge a failure even before it got off the ground. That, however, is exactly the opposite of what has happened, as the Surge is working, and working extremely well. The awakening in Anbar has provided a model that is now being followed with al-Sadr's people, something no one would have though possible before the Surge was in place. Bin Laden has admitted that al-Qaeda has been effectively paralyzed by the United States forces. The Baghdad curfew is about to be lifted. All positive developments, except for the defeatists currently in control of the Congress.
So how exactly do the last two ex-presidents celebrate their Veterans Day?
Bill Clinton, who dodged the draft in Vietnam, has his staff finalize papers to be released regarded the emails from staffers about UFOs from his time in office.
President George H. W. Bush, 83, decorated World War II veteran, skydives with an Army Team.
Think about.

Harry Reid's Selfish Waste of Tax Payer Money
When the fires starting, the Senate Majority Leader (ugh) made his move to say that the wildfires were the result of Global Warming (which is based on junk science as it is). Well, it turns out that's not the case at all. However, he was and still is, calling for Congressional investigations, which will start on Thursday:
On Tuesday the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming announced a hearing:
“A Spark Neglected: Wildfires and Global Warming,” it labeled the proceedings scheduled for Thursday.
“Select committee to examine link between changing climate, frequency and intensity of wildfires,” the description continued.
A committee spokesman said the hearing “was prompted by the wildfires out West and the view of some scientists that the increasing size, frequency and intensity of these fires is affected adversely by global warming.” A panel of scientists will testify.
Pure waste of tax payer funds for multiple reasons. First, notice the nifty little headline, "A Spark Neglected". That's actually pretty funny that they would put a title like that on a Congressional study. Stupid. A select committee (gee I wonder if the people selected will have a bias in favor of Global Warming since they are for sure to be on the payrolls of companies that benefit from products that sell 'carbon-credits' and other ridiculous items) will examine the link between the climate, frequency and intensity of wildfires. The findings are going to be that "the drought conditions in California lead to the wildfires and these were caused by global warming, and manbearpig must be stopped, so we are asking everyone to move to a major city and abandon your cars and stop heating your houses." It's asinine. Maybe if they weren't so tree huggingly weird out in California they'd thin the forests out a bit, maybe put some more firebreaks in the forests/woods. But none the less.What makes this a giant waste of time for anyone not in the snake oil/global warming business is that the cause has been found. Arson, of course, caused by a boy playing with matches. Think the committee will even once mention that a kid with matches started the fires? Not a chance. Can't blame anyone but who or what they want to be the cause so they can make the money off of it, by promoting fear to a gutless Left Wing base. You'll remember the drunken "I was assaulted...oh wait, I was hammered" Randi Rhodes went so far as to accuse Blackwater of starting the fires out in California to feed her hapless colony of moonbats. These people are morons. Global Warming, President Bush, Blackwater, none of them had anything to do with the fires. The fires were caused by arson and spread rapidly due to over regulation of the forestry system in a far left state where they are still arguing amongst their eco-warriors why wind farms (which kill birds) should be scrapped completely even though it lowers the use of fossil fuels (which they say causes global warming). He's pushing this hearing through despite knowing that the fires were started by arson in order push forward an agenda that will make a person profit for him and so that no one questions his decision to blame global warming the second the fires started. Not only do I question their patriotism, I question their sanity.

President Bush Blats Democrats for Being Lazy, Dems Respond by Giving Themselves off on all Fridays
President Bush blasted Democratic congressional leaders Tuesday, saying Capitol Hill "is not getting its work done" and warning Democrats not to send him measures he has threatened to veto.
Flanked by House Republican leaders outside the White House, Bush said the Democratic-controlled Congress was conducting too many investigations and engaged in "endless series of failed votes to pull our troops out of Iraq" instead of passing major legislation.
That's a devastating uppercut from President Bush. The Democratic response was basically "but..but...but...We hate you President Bush." Pathetic. Bush is absolutely right in his statement and the Dems hate nothing more than the truth. The backdoor attempt at Socialized Medicine that would cover Illegal Immigrants known as SCHIP is going to be vetoed again should the Donkeys try to turn it from a $5 Billion program into a $40 Billion program funded by tax increases. The only thing the Dems did in Iraq was put more Iraqis and troops in harms way by their shameless, reckless, and deadly condemnation of the Ottoman Empire. The war has turned so sharply in favor of the U.S. since the surge began that Dems look more and more foolish and exposed in their defeatist ways that they are purposely not giving the troops any credit and kicked up a scandalous condemnation of the Ottomans that has directly agitated the Turks into aggression against the Kurds. They knew that would happen and I call that traitorous. They attempted to create more chaos in order to placate their base by making a case that violence has not dropped sharply, which of course it has.
Now what the MSM, the liberal partners in crime for the Left Wing, is not reporting on too much what the Dems did to do EVEN LESS that what they have currently done in Congress. The Donkeys have congratulated themselves by accomplishing nothing by GIVING THEMSELVES OFF EVERY FRIDAY NEXT YEAR:
The House majority leader, Representative Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland, told fellow Democrats this week that the House would not be in session next year on Fridays, except in June for work on appropriations bills.

The Left Wants to Blame Bush for the Califronia Fires Even Though It Was Arson
Additionally, "Global Warming" was not responsible, in case you missed that news flash, and was one of the first things the Left tried to blame this on. The Bush Bashing Mainstream Media (MSM) is in full Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) trying to compare this to Katrina and blaming this on National Guard members fighting for our security and liberating Iraq and Afghanistan from terrorist sociopathic thugs. Here's one of the best clips in TV history as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger fends off and completely owns a moonbat reporter looking for anything that she can to try blame this horrific event on President Bush:
Let me just also say, and most importantly, that our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this tragedy. I can only imagine the hardships they are experiencing. As with every tragic event in this nation, it is the people who we should keep in mind the most, and we, as American citizens, wish you all the best and have our deepest condolences.

What the Hell is Bush Thinking? FRY MADELLIN
At the heart of the looming court case is that Madellin, an illegal immigrant, who was read his Miranda Rights and subsequently confessed to the crime, is now challenging his conviction because he never informed he had the right to contact the Mexican consulate. Of course Mexico is backing their illegal immigrant offspring and now President Bush is too. He can not be let go because of a technicality. The precedent is awful. There are many other cases out there as well that follow this pattern where Mexico will allow their thugs and criminals illegal entry into our nation only to see our innocent civilians slaughtered at these pieces of human garbage's hands. What this basically says is that if Mexicans come here illegally and commit vicious, murderous acts, they are damned near assured of never being punished. Hardly a surprise since they are not punished for illegally coming here in the first place. Bush is wrong on this, and we need to call him out. He crotch nuzzled Mexico during shamnesty and now he is actively working to save a vicious double murderer's life, defying our nation's laws.
Mexicans here illegally are getting better treatment than our own citizens and it is outrageous. Their government is actively helping them to break our immigration laws and dumping their criminals upon us, decaying our society. They have no intention of seeking citizenship and why should they? They get free health care, pay no taxes, and are not subject to the same laws that we are. Build the damn fence already or allow the border guards to start shooting. This guy needs to get his justice. We need to stand with Texas. A technicality is just that. This evil human being needs to meet his just fate for the brutal raping, sodomizing, strangulation, and then stomping of a 14 and 16 year old girl. I don't care if this guy is from Mexico, Canada, Pluto, or the Andromeda system. Allow Texas to carry out the execution and end this monster's life.

G-Dub Goes on the Offensive at UN for Human Rights, Democracy
"The nations in this chamber have our differences, yet there are some areas where we can all agree," Bush said. "When innocent people are trapped in a life of murder and fear, the declaration is not being upheld. When millions of children starve to death or perish from a mosquito bite, we're not doing our duty in the world. When whole societies are cut off from the prosperity of the global economy, we're all worse off."
"Changing these underlying conditions is what the declaration calls the work of larger freedom and it must be the work of every nation in this assembly," he said. "This great institution must work for great purposes: to free people from tyranny and violence, hunger and diseases, illiteracy and ignorance and poverty and despair."
This is absolute truth and yet, criticisms of our President run deep. How is it that the Liberal hatred of our leader, on a personal level as much as political, can trump his outright protection of the Myanmar people, where the situation has gotten so bad that the monks in that nation have now been met with deadly force for speaking out for human freedom? Indeed, curfews have been imposed, and the right to assembly simply does not exist in this section of Southeast Asia. This is precisely the time to stand with the world's people and demand freedom. What is it with those so blinded by pure lunacy that they see fit to stand against our President when he is defending human freedom in so many places all across the world? The world is doing their absolute best to ignore what is happening in Myanmar, and President Bush is taking the world, rightfully, to task for ignoring their plight. He is to be applauded, he is being a true leader.
Similarly, watching those students at Columbia cheer for everything that Ahmadinejad said was horrible. Watching this horrible display of Liberal lunacy was one of the worst things I have ever seen in my life. Here is this man, a Holocaust denier, a bigot, a murderer, a terrorist, a man who has threatened genocide, is murdering our troops, and is actively seeking nuclear weapons for use against Israel being applauded by students in an Ivy League school. The only time those moonbat fools booed him was for his saying that there was no gays in Iran. State policy of the Iranians under the Ahmandinejad and Ruhollah Khomeni. They will murder and torture anyone who is not their model person for Iranian society. Oh yea, Ahmadinejad is also a truther. He was shocked today when the wife of an Israeli he had kidnapped confronted him face to face. Kudos to President Bush for seeking new sanctions against the tyrannical regime of Iran. It is also to commended that he is voicing and showing his commitment to Afghanistan. He and President Karzai touted the successes in Afghanistan today as well.So for all the hatred of President Bush, the BDS that is fully on display nearly every day by the Left Wing in this nation, they cannot overlook their personal hatred of our President in order to advance the cause of human freedom. Indeed, the hard left has the same reaction (and in reality, much worse in many instances) than the Cuban delegation at the UN when challenged to defend human freedom, as the Left in our nation is doing to our soldiers what the Cuban delegates did when confronted with the challenge of promoting freedom:

The Hardest of Libs Tip Their Hands, Show They are OWNED by Move On
"I thought the ad was disgusting," Bush told reporters in the White House briefing room.
"I was disappointed that not more leaders in the Democrat party spoke out strongly against that kind of ad, and that leads me to come to this kind of conclusion: That most Democrats are afraid of irritating a left-wing group like MoveOn.org — are more afraid of irritating them — than they are of irritating the United States military. That was a sorry deal," the president said.
He's absolutely right of course. The ad was pathetic and simply un-American. Bush even said something to the effect that he doesn't care what they say about him but to go after a general with 30 years of experience is despicable. He's even more right that the Libtards are terrified of MoveOn. The hardest of Liberals refused to condemn the ad and stick up for Gen. Petraeus and the military. The usual bought-off, corrupt scumbags of course. Hillary leads the list as she is trying to placate the base, is the most corrupt campaign fundraiser in history, and her husband owes MoveOn his soul for saving his ass from being thrown out of office. The two morons from NJ of course backed MoveOn. Both PA Senators voted to condemn the ad. Maybe Sen. Casey may well be a respectable Democrat, much like his father. Who knows? Anyway, get the roll call and follow the outrage further over at Hot Air.In the meantime, please feel free to follow Reid, Clinton, and the likes political objectives to that of Bin Laden.

Hats Off To Japan and a Note on Foreign Policy
Leftist in ______ (Criticize, Express Caution/Outrage Over) _________ With/In The United States.
The difference between a nuclear program in India and one in Iran of course is transparency, a willingness and an invitation to have the IAEA involved in the program as well as having their representatives present at all nuclear negotiations with rock solid evidence of all activities and purchases. Huge difference. However, I wish the Indians well in dealing with the moonbats of their nation. I also commend greatly the great nation of Japan. On another note, please note how the Liberals kept saying how horrible our relationships with other nations were with other countries that were traditional allies thanks to President Bush. I'd like to point out our relationship with France has not been this strong is a long, long, time, Germany, Britain, Japan, India, and Australia have never been closer and that President Bush has very good relationships with Canada, and for better or worse (because of the immigration insanity) a very close relationship with Mexico. He also seems to have a good report with the Russians despite their inching back towards their former roles during World War II, but for the issues of comparison the friendship between Putin and President Bush is not just based on that of alcohol and women like Yeltsin and Clinton.
