With a Democrat in the Oval Office, Five Dollars a Gallon is No Big Deal

Rush Limbaugh exposes the hypocrisy of the Main Stream Media. Under Bush, the media went on a rampage with the $4.00/gallon of gasoline, but under Obama, it is denyingly quiet. It is abundantly clear that Obama is forcing us to change our ways. The president wants us to get rid of our big SUVs and trucks. Obama wants us to buy expensive hybrids, smaller economical cars (deathtraps), use more mass transit, and buy defective electric cars. Well, the government cannot tell the American public or force us to buy something that we don't want.

Transcript from Rush Limbaugh Show

RUSH: It is so predictable. There's MSNBC during their one-year retrospective impact of the Gulf oil spill. And you know what the purpose is of this particular episode being anchored by Andrea Mitchell is. The purpose here is to make sure we don't drill for oil ever again. It's to support Obama and the regime 'cause, man, look what almost happened. Do you realize every prediction of doom and disaster from that oil spill ended up being totally wrong, as wrong as you could be if you wanted to be a hundred percent wrong, and yet here they are, their one year retrospective with the whole focal point being, "Boy, it was a disaster, dangerous, could have been really disastrous. We better never drill for oil again." Why do this? What's the big deal about this anniversary? And to whom is it an anniversary, aside from the media? Zilch, nobody.

I want to show you something on the Dittocam. I just turned it off while I zoomed tight. We did a little Google search here. In the previous hour of the program I made reference to the fact that, where are all the stories on the gasoline price going up? Five bucks a gallon. If you heard the riff, you know, I don't need to repeat it, basically the point of it was that compared to 2005, the last time gasoline prices spiked big time, there's no coverage of it. So, yeah, while the price is exceeding four bucks in many places, five bucks in Washington, there's not this accompanying panic. No. What are we getting? A one-year look-back at the oil spill. So the media is doing everything it can to suppress any negative economic impact to Obama, virtually no coverage of the rising gasoline price.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a search, gasoline prices, Google trends. Here it is. That big spike that you see on the left is 2005 when the price was approaching four bucks a gallon and the oil price was around $150. That's been the way they've been covering gasoline prices since. This year, no coverage. See the little spike there. It just proves the point that I was making an hour ago, and that is that there's no coverage on this. I mean people are sending me notes, "Gasoline prices are skyrocketing. People are really feeling the pain." Are they? Do they know it? They're feeling it but do they think anybody else is feeling it? There's no news on it and there's certainly no negative news about it. Whatever news about the gas price going up tends to be, "Well, you know, there's really some good news about this. Less dependence on foreign oil. Less travel. Less accidents. Fewer lives lost." I mean, they're actually doing stories on the benefits of rising gasoline prices. Something you would never see, of course, if a Republican were in the Oval Office.

Former Muslim Turned Christian Faces Death Penalty in Saudi Arabia

The Mainstream Media won't hesitate calling an American Islamphobic, but they will turn a blind eye when Muslims run amuck against Christianity. The Mainstream Media could try and transform America into an Islamic state, but hell would freeze over first.

(Barnabasfund.org)- An Eritrean Christian is facing the death penalty in Saudi Arabia after being arrested for sharing his faith with Muslims.

Mussie Eyob was detained by the authorities at a mosque in Saudi’s second largest city, Jeddah, on 12 February. He had gone there to meet and talk with local Muslims after speaking about Christianity at the Eritrean Embassy for three days. Eyob was arrested for preaching to Muslims, an offence that carries the death penalty in Saudi Arabia.

Eyob, who was initially assumed to have mental health problems, was examined by doctors, who confirmed that he is fit for trial and sentencing. He was then transferred to the notorious high-security Briman Prison. His family are very concerned for his welfare there.

They visited Eyob on 20 March and found that he had lost weight, though he was in relatively good spirits. He said that he is ready to die for his faith in Christ.

Eyob, who committed to follow Christ just over two years ago, felt compelled to share his faith with local Muslims, despite the danger.

Saudi Arabia is a strictly Islamic country that follows an extreme and puritanical version of Islam, Wahhabism. The country claims that the Quran is its constitution and that all its laws and regulations are promulgated in line with sharia, which prescribes the death penalty for converts from Islam. Consequently most converts keep their faith secret.

Obama Will Not Give Up His Nobel Peace Prize

If that is the case, George W. Bush should get a Nobel Peace Prize too.

(Politico) President Obama defended his Nobel Peace Prize on Tuesday, saying that Americans “don’t see any contradiction” in him ordering an attack on Libya to make sure “people aren’t butchered because of a dictator who wants to cling to power.”

“When I received that award, I specifically said there was an irony because I was already dealing with two wars,” Obama said in an interview with CNN from El Salvador. “So I am accustomed to this contradiction of being both a commander-in-chief but also someone who aspires to peace.”

And he said again that the U.S. military has already saved lives there. “I think the American people don’t see any contradiction in somebody who cares about peace also wanting to make sure that people aren’t butchered because of a dictator who wants to cling to power,” he said.

Some foreign leaders have called on Obama to return the Nobel Peace Prize he accepted in 2009 since ordering the Libya attack.

Obama 2007, President Does Not Have Power Under Constitution to Unilaterally Authorize a Military Attack

Being a true liberal, Obama will quote sentences from the Constitution, but legislate his own views when a certain situation arises. This is the purest form of hypocrisy. Obama is unable to walk the walk and talk the talk. Obama has to be impeached.

(CNSNews.com) - As a presidential candidate, Sen. Barack Obama (D.-Ill.) emphatically stated that the Constitution does not give the president the authority to unilaterally authorize a military attack unless it is needed to stop an actual or imminent attack on the United States.

Obama made the assertion in a Dec. 20, 2007 interview with the Boston Globe when reporter Charlie Savage asked him under what circumstances the president would have the constitutional authority to bomb Iran without first seeking authorization from Congress.

“The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation,” Obama responded.

Obama did not seek congressional authorization before joining allies, including Great Britain and France, in taking military action against the regime of Libyan dictator Col. Moammar Gadhafi in order to establish a no-fly zone over that country. The action was approved by the United Nations Security Council but not by the U.S. Congress.

United Nations Give the Okay to Attack Libya, Awaiting for US to Lead

The war is going to begin very soon. Since Nato forces is mostly supported by the US military, the United Nations is waiting for the United States to lead the attack. The United Nations gave their blessing to stop Gaddafi by military force. Doesn't this sound familiar when Bush went to the UN to stop Saddam Hussein? What is the difference? Why did Bush get criticize and not with Obama? Hypocrites!

(Reuters) - The United Nations authorised military action to curb Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi on Thursday, hours after he threatened to storm the rebel bastion of Benghazi overnight, showing "no mercy, no pity."

"We will come, zenga, zenga. House by house, room by room," he said in a radio address to the eastern city.

Al Jazeera television showed thousands of Benghazi residents in a central square celebrating the U.N. vote, waving anti-Gaddafi tricolour flags and chanting defiance of the man who has ruled for four decades. Fireworks burst over the city.

Gaddafi had warned that only those who lay down their arms would be spared vengeance to be exacted on 'rats and dogs'.

"It's over. The issue has been decided," Gaddafi said. "We are coming tonight...We will find you in your closets.

"We will have no mercy and no pity."

The U.N. Security Council passed a resolution endorsing a no-fly zone to halt government troops now around 100 km (60 miles) from Benghazi. It also authorised "all necessary measures" -- code for military action -- to protect civilians against Gaddafi's forces.

French diplomatic sources said military action could come within hours, and could include France, Britain and possibly the United States and one or more Arab states; but a U.S. military official said no immediate U.S. action was expected following the vote.

Ten of the Council's 15 member states voted in favour of the resolution, with Russia, China and Germany among the five that abstained. There were no votes against the resolution, which was co-sponsored by France, Britain, Lebanon and the United States.

Michelle Obama Needs to Set an Example to Obese Kids

Michelle Obama may care about obese kids, but she doesn't seem to follow what she preaches. Michelle Obama's dinner is considered unhealthy. So, she balance a nice salad with a braised acho-chile short ribs, which contains 1575 calories per serving and has 141g of fat! It is like getting a diet coke with a Big Mac and a large order of fries. It is called hypocrisy.

(Vail Daily) VAIL — First lady Michelle Obama enjoyed locally grown fare at a Vail restaurant Saturday night before hitting the slopes of Vail Mountain early Sunday.

Obama and her two daughters, 9-year-old Sasha and 12-year-old Malia — together with some family friends — are spending the Presidents Day holiday weekend in Vail. President Obama did not make the trip.

The first lady went to Restaurant Kelly Liken in Vail Village on Saturday night, dining on a pickled pumpkin salad with arugula and a braised ancho-chile short rib with hominy wild mushrooms and sauteed kale.

During her time as first lady, Obama has pushed for healthier eating in an effort to combat childhood obesity. She also planted a vegetable garden on the White House grounds in 2009.

Democrats Game Plan is to Blame Republicans for a Government Shutdown

The Democrats game plan is a scare tactic using class warfare as their initial assault. Next will be a cowardly blame game on the Republican party. This is typical of Democrats. It would be wiser to follow the Wisconsin Democrats and leave town. This whole thing is a joke. The Democrats are claiming that cutting $100 billion will affect society adversely. The budget deficit is in the trillions of dollar and the Democrats are complaining $100 billion. Let the shutdown of the government happen. This time around the American people understands the dilemma this country faces. The American people are more educated that Washington is corrupt. It is ironic how the Democrats are trying to find their way to the American people after ignoring them for the past 4 year. Democrats in Washington are a bunch of scumbags.

(The Hill) Democrats headed back to their districts for the Presidents Day recess hope to drive home the message that Republicans should be blamed if the fight over spending cuts ends in a government shutdown.

House Democrats were still deciding Friday on how much advertising to buy during the week, but they had settled on a message of pointing out specific cuts in the House GOP spending bill and portraying them as unreasonable, a Democratic strategist said.

Democrats will tell constituents that the GOP bill will kick 218,000 children out of Head Start, cause 7,000 special education teachers to loose their jobs, devastate cancer and diabetes research and deny assistance to homeless veterans.

Key part of the Democrats’ messaging strategy will be to place the blame on the Republicans if an agreement on the CR can not be reached and the government is forced to shut down.

If Republicans cuts are successfully painted as unreasonable, then it is easier to blame them if a shutdown occurs, a Democratic aide said.

One aspect of the message is that the spending bill “destroys jobs” at a time of economic recovery. It says Democrats will trim spending by “going after tax loopholes and wasteful subsidies, instead of the reckless and indiscriminate cuts in the GOP spending plan.”

Democrats will also point to efforts they were made by their party to save American jobs. They will highlight attempts to pass a Build America Bonds initiative and a bill ending government contracts for companies that offshore jobs, according to the House Democrats “District Work Plan.”

Obama Tells America to Make Sacrifices While the Michelle and Kids Go on Vacation

This is a blatant hypocrisy. While Obama tells us to "put off a vacation" and make sacrifices, Michelle Obama takes kids to an expensive ski trip. The more important question is "who is watching Barack while the family is out?"

(Daily Mail) — President Obama has been accused of having double standards after appealing for Americans to sacrifice their holidays just days before his wife and children went on a costly skiing trip.

First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha are on a ‘private family trip’ to Colorado for Presidents’ Day Weekend.

Mrs Obama and Sasha, nine, were pictured waiting in line at the Eagle Bahn gondola to the top of the mountain today.

The First Lady’s cream ski jacket was open, perhaps indicating that temperatures are not as bitter as they are in other parts of the country.

A light snow appeared to be falling on Mrs Obama and her daughter, who herself was clad in fluorescent pink snowboarding pants and a sky blue puff jacket.

Both wore gloves and hats. They were not carrying skis.

The family appear to have flown there on Air Force Two.

They are staying at the upscale Sebastian Hotel on Vail Mountain, where rooms start at $650 a night and range up to more than $2,400 for multi-bedroom suites.

The trip came just days after the President tried to sell his cost-cutting budget to the American people by asking them to stay at home.

‘If you’re a family trying to cut back, you might skip going out to dinner, or you might put off a vacation,’ he said.

While Mr Obama is staying put at the White House, the rest of his family headed to Colorado – rather than visiting slopes closer to Washington in Virginia or Pennsylvania.

Their trip came despite previous criticisms over the family’s extravagant vacations, including a trip last summer to Spain.

Obama is Deliberately Dividing this Country by Supporting Wisconsin Unions

If Reagan was around, he would have fired these teachers just like the air traffic controllers. As I said before, Obama is no Reagan. Obama will never be known as the great communicator but the great divider.

(Washington Post) MADISON, WIS. - President Obama thrust himself and his political operation this week into Wisconsin's broiling budget battle, mobilizing opposition Thursday to a Republican bill that would curb public-worker benefits and planning similar protests in other state capitals.

Obama accused Scott Walker, the state's new Republican governor, of unleashing an "assault" on unions in pushing emergency legislation that would change future collective-bargaining agreements that affect most public employees, including teachers.

Their efforts began to spread, as thousands of labor supporters turned out for a hearing in Columbus, Ohio, to protest a measure from Gov. John Kasich (R) that would cut collective-bargaining rights.

By the end of the day, Democratic Party officials were organizing additional demonstrations in Ohio and Indiana, where an effort is underway to trim benefits for public workers. Some union activists predicted similar protests in Missouri, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Under Walker's plan, most public workers - excluding police, firefighters and state troopers - would have to pay half of their pension costs and at least 12 percent of their health-care costs. They would lose bargaining rights for anything other than pay. Walker, who took office last month, says the emergency measure would save $300 million over the next two years to help close a $3.6 billion budget gap.

Imam Convicted of Raping 12-Year-Old Boy in Mosque

I wonder if people will condemn this act as they do with priest or give Islam a pass.....

(Daily Mail) — A Muslim cleric, once decorated by Buckingham Palace, is facing jail after being convicted of ‘preying on’ and ‘abusing’ two boys at his mosque.

Mohammed Hanif Khan, 42, one of Britain’s most influential imams, became the first ever full-time Islamic minister in the history of the British prison service in 2001.

Highly respected, in 2004 he visited the Palace to receive a Butlers’ Trust Award from Princess Anne for his work in diversity.

Under his grand title of Sheik Mohammed Hanif Haqqani Kareemi he led prayers and gave Islamic education to boys.

But a two-week long trial at Nottingham Crown Court heard Hanif Khan used his position of power at the mosque in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs, to terrify, intimidate and abuse the two young boys in 2009 — then aged 12 and 15.

After three days of deliberation a jury found him guilty of two counts of rape and one count of sexual activity with a child.

He was remanded in custody for sentencing at a later date.

What Happen to the Anti-War Movement?

What happen to the antiwar movement? Where are the anti-war demonstrators and their raucous protests? Where are the media and the liberal pundits criticizing about the war? That was then. As soon Obama was elected into office, it seems the anti-war movement died. Currently, nothing dramatically changed about the war after Bush left office. We still have 50,000 troops in Iraq. Obama is still committed to fight the good war in Afghanistan. Even though the mounting casualties, Obama actually increased the number of troops in Afghanistan without a game plan. Obama renege his promise to close Guantanamo Bay and continue to support the Bush predator drones program. The media stopped posting pictures and the death count of American soldiers Iraq and Afghanistan. It is so blatant that the media and liberals were using the deaths of American soldiers as a political motive to bash George W. Bush and the GOP. The political motivation behind it is cruel, insensitive, and malicious.

Now, there are no anti-war protests. The media has shunned talking about the war and avoided reporting any military casualties. The Left-wing blogs are very quiet to criticize about the war. Even Cindy Sheehan, an infamous vocal anti-war advocate, is nowhere to be seen. Since Obama became president, no one is interested to report the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is very disingenuous that liberals really didn’t care about the war and using dead American soldiers as a political tool to bash Bush. It was never about the war at all and that is an indisputable fact. The people who represented as anti-war advocates are bunch of hypocrites. It is simple hypocrisy. That is all it is.

Bill Clinton Says Republicans Must Tone Down the Political Rhetoric

Republicans to tone down the political and hateful rhetoric? Liberal Democrats should look at the mirror more often.............

(BBC) Former President Bill Clinton has told the BBC the US political climate must change after the shooting of a US Congresswoman and others in Arizona.

"No-one intends to do anything that encourages this sort of behaviour," he said. But political rhetoric "falls on the unhinged and the hinged alike".

Some commentators suggest the vitriolic political rhetoric in the US may have contributed in some way to the attack.

Speaking on a trip to Haiti, Mr Clinton called on the US House of Representatives to "lead the way" in toning down the political discourse.

"We cannot be unaware of the fact that - particularly with the internet - there's this huge echo chamber out there," he said.

"This is an occasion for us to reaffirm that our political differences shouldn't degenerate into demonisation, in the sense that if you don't agree with me you're not a good American.

"I'm hoping there will be a lot of good debates that go beyond turning this into politics... about how and why it happened and what else we can do to minimise those things."

Obama Hypocrisy or Flip Flop on Raising the Debt Limit

According to many Liberal pundits, only an idiot would vote against raising the debt ceiling. I guess that explains why Obama voted against raising the debt limit in 2006 when he had this to say:

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and
grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
-Then Senator Barrack Obama, March 20. 2006

Either we wait now or later, America will go bankrupt if the problem is not fixed immediately. No need to raise the debt limit. By cutting spending (or eliminate wasteful programs) on federal programs that can be done at the state level(Medicaid, Depts. of Agriculture, Interior, Education, Energy, HHS), it will free up more resources to pay our obligations.

The TEA Party movement and many Americans are fed up with inside-the-Beltway machinations: America is Bankrupt in all-but name. Liberal, RHINOS, and the ignorant few need to get over that simple fact, and realize that the longer we postpone the Day of Reckoning, the more painful it will be. Also, it may not be at a time of our choosing. Just look at the mess created when Fannie & Freddie problems were repeatedly kicked down the road. That eventually led to the Day of Reckoning two years ago. Of course, it was not the date of President Bush's or the GOP's choosing.

Obama will be looking for a $300 billion increase in the $14.1 Trillion debt ceiling. What if the House passes a bill offering $300 billion (or even a lesser amount, say $100 billion) in spending cuts in March, instead, daring the President to veto it?

Or, what if the House offers to raise the debt ceiling; but attach to it repeal of ObamaCare, which the CBO has now scored as costing many tens, maybe hundreds of billions of dollars, as opposed to PAYGO?

It's a Game of Chicken between the House and White House, with the Senate as the wild card.

Algeria tries Christians for opening place of worship

Christianity is being hijacked by a secular minority group. These Muslims putting four converted Christians through trial believes it is okay, but calls us intolerant when we protest the mosque at Ground Zero. I call it hypocrisy and a double standard.

ALGIERS (AFP)- Algeria will put on trial four converts to Christianity Sunday for “illegally opening a place of worship”, one of their lawyers told AFP.

“The defendants, who are between 35 and 45 years old, have been charged with setting up a Protestant church in the region without authorization by authorities,” said lawyer Mohamed Ben Belkacem.

The trial will be held in Larbaa Nath Irathen, east of Algiers.

One of the accused has also been charged with illegally accommodating a French pastor who had travelled to Algeria to make a speech before members of the Christian community.

The trial was originally scheduled to open on October 10 but put off after the court insisted it needed witnesses to give evidence.

Under a 2006 Algerian law Muslims or non-Muslims can only practice their religion after authorities agree to a place of worship.

Over the past months several trials have opened in the north African country where Islam is the state religion for violation of Islamic precepts, notably involving converts to Christianity

Warning of anarchy if death row Christian woman is pardoned

If the role was reverse and a Christian woman defended Islam, the likelihood for a massive Christian outcry is close to nil. The hypocrisy is overwhelming. While Muslims are condemning Asia Bibi outspoken opinion against Islam, there are many Muslims calling us Islamophobes and racist for protesting the mosque at Ground Zero. There is certain population of Muslims that have a culture sensitivity issue and those who are affected need help.

(Christian Today-Australia) Hundreds of Muslims took to the streets of Lahore on Friday to demonstrate their anger as the Pakistani government makes its mind up over whether or not to pardon a Christian woman sentenced to death for blasphemy.

Muslims in the country are outraged at the prospect of Asia Bibi’s death sentence being overturned. According to Agence France Presse, the rally was organised by a subsidiary of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), a banned charity that the UN believes has terrorist links.

Bibi was sentenced to hang on November 8 for allegedly blaspheming against Islam during a dispute with Muslim colleagues last year. She has already spent the last year and a half in prison but is hoping that President Asif Ali Zardari will grant her a pardon.

On Thursday, Minister for Minority Affairs Shahbaz Bhatti submitted a report to the government in which he stated that the blasphemy case against Bibi was based on personal enmity and that the charges were false. He recommended that Bibi appeal her sentence in the Lahore High Court.

The case has made international headlines, with Pope Benedict XVI among those who have appealed for her release.

The head of the Sunni Ittehad Council, Sahibzada Fazal Kareem, told the AFP: “The pardon would lead to anarchy in the country. Our stand is very clear that this punishment cannot be waived.”

Hillary Clinton Wont Go Through Any Pat Down nor Should You

(Fox News)Hillary Clinton made this comments in an interview today on CBS' "Face the Nation" and NBC's "Meet the Press."

Hillary Clinton was asked if she would accept a pat down by TSA. She said,

"Not if I could avoid it. No! I mean, who would?"

It seems hypocritical that Obama and the Secretary of State are not obligate to go through a body scanner or pat down. It seems the enemy is the citizens of the United States. Why should we be inconvenience when the people who should get a pat down is Washington.
