The remaining two components of GW’s “Axis of Evil” seem to be living up to their name. No matter how much we wish things weren’t what they are we must live in the real world. North Korea and Iran are evil regimes and must be dealt with accordingly, the question is will our Democrat leaders step up and do what is necessary? The question is, what is necessary? Should we continue to allow these two countries to move forward thumbing their nose at the world community or do we stand firm and require compliance? I do not begin to know the correct action that needs to be taken but if you are to address evil you must confront it and not allow it to continue to fester and grow. It will be interesting to see how the Obama administration leads on this very complex issue or will he just vote present and hope it goes away?

Below is Neal Boortz address to Texas A&M Neal’s alma mater. I would have liked to have seen the faces of the faculty after he started his address. One can only hope that some of his wisdom made it through to the students that have been steeped in a liberal brew over the past four years. It is a great address and I wanted it to have as wide an audience as possible.
"I am honored by the invitation to address you on this august occasion. It's about time. Be warned, however, that I am not here to impress you; you'll have enough smoke blown up your bloomers today. And you can bet your tassels I'm not here to impress the faculty and administration. You may not like much of what I have to say, and that's fine. You will remember it though.. Especially after about 10 years out there in the real world. This, it goes without saying, does not apply to those of you who will seek your careers and your fortunes as government employees.
This gowned gaggle behind me is your faculty. You've heard the old saying that...

Protestor denied freedom of speech.
You might have seen this around the Internet. Not sure if it’s made it to television as yet. It’s important that everyone knows about this:
Citizen: "This used to be America."
Cop: "Well it ain't no mo', okay?"
The below video was taken on Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 at Rep. Jim Moran’s (D-VA) Town Hall meeting on Obama Deathcare (Howie Dean was there too) held at South Lakes High School in Reston, Virginia, in Fairfax County.
Many people were left outside when the school filled to capacity. Fairfax County School Police Officer Wesley Cheeks, Jr. did not approve of a protester’s anti-Obamacare poster (you can see it at the link) which used one of the “Joker” graphics.
Watch the video below and see what happens when Officer Cheeks sees the anti-Obamacare...

John Parnell PH.D., points out in his recent blog that the economy isn’t responding as the Obama Administration thought it would. Yet, Democrats wish us to follow their failed path of big deficit spending, leaving our future generations with massive debt. All of the money we are throwing at the economy is bound to spur enough activity to deliver some short term relief. But the current approach to the problem is akin to giving a heroin addict more of the drug so he can avoid the pain of withdrawal, without which he cannot begin to rebuild his life.
If Obama thinks Bush left him with an economic mess, just wait until the next President has to clean up this one. Read it here:

Holder’s agenda: Transnationalism?
And the hits just keep on coming. Former federal prosecutor (of the terrorists who bombed the World Trade Center during the Clinton administration) Andrew McCarthy over at National Review Online says Attorney General Eric Holder’s agenda in the reopening of “CIA torture” case is really about letting international courts try Bush-Cheney for war crimes. Now, doesn’t that just get your heart fluttering? Just when you think Obama and company couldn’t possibly do anything scarier, things like this raise their ugly heads. These people hate this country:
It was springtime in Berlin and Eric Holder, a well-known “rule of law” devotee, was speaking to the German press. He’d been asked if his Justice Department would cooperate with efforts by foreign or international tribunals to prosecute U.S. government officials who carried...

Ted Kennedy and the death (hopefully) of an era.
Nick Gillespie at www.reason.com notes that Kennedy was from another era, and his type of thinking must die along with him and the 20th century. Everything old isn’t new again regardless of what the Democratic Party thinks:
The legislation for which he will be remembered is precisely the sort of top-down, centralized legislation that needs to be jettisoned in the 21st century. Like Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.V.) and the recently deposed Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), Kennedy was in fact a man out of time, a bridge back to the past rather than a guide to the future. His mind-set was very much of a piece with a best-and-the-brightest, centralized mentality that has never served America well over the long haul.
Bigger was better, and government at every...

Those darn townhall “terrorists” – oh, wait.
Remember when townhall protestors were called terrorists, un-American and implied as being Nazis (the last two by Nancy Pelosi)? Just who are the real terrorists? From statesman.com:
A Texas woman faces trial this month in Austin on charges she threatened to kill a government informant who infiltrated an Austin-based group that planned to bomb the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., last fall.
Katyanne Marie Kibby, 25, was indicted in June by a federal grand jury in Austin. She is accused of retaliating against Brandon Darby, the community activist-turned-informant who helped federal prosecutors win convictions against Bradley Neal Crowder, 24, and David Guy McKay, 23.
Prosecutors say the e-mail threat was made Jan. 10. That was two days after Crowder...

Politics of charisma is so Third World.
This is a tremendous piece by Foud Ajami, who writes a mini history of Obama’s win of the White House and how this summer has shown the president that Americans were never going to buy his charisma for long. This is simply excellent from The Wall Street Journal:
… It is odd that American liberalism, in a veritable state of insurrection during the Bush presidency, now seeks political quiescence. These "townhallers" who have come forth to challenge ObamaCare have been labeled "evil-mongers" (Harry Reid), "un-American" (Nancy Pelosi), agitators and rowdies and worse.
A political class, and a media elite, that glamorized the protest against the Iraq war, that branded the Bush presidency as a reign of usurpation, now wishes to be done with the tumult of political debate. President Barack Obama...

Obama plans to desecrate 9/11.
If you ever really wondered whether this administration gives a rat’s patootie about the country, this story should leave you with no doubt – this administration is the most un-American, most anti-American and the most political ever in my memory. Matthew Vadum at The American Spectator has unearthed a story that the administration would rather you didn’t know about because they’ve kept in on the down-low:
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...

One p.o.’d veteran.
God bless this guy. He fought for his country, and by God, he’s still fighting. This is the type of person we need in our state and national legislatures. The video is just a little over two minutes. You’ll be cheering. He (unlike those in the beltway) doesn’t give any credence to the left’s premises, he just tells them, as an American citizen, where to stick it:

Is mandated health insurance constitutional?
No, say David B. Rivkin, Jr. and Lee A. Casey, Justice Department lawyers during the Reagan and Bush I presidencies. They say that Congress is still accountable to the American people and the Constitution. This is from Saturday’s Washington...
