1299 Obama - Me Bad

Washington Post, April 14, 2009

The Department of Homeland Security is warning law enforcement officials about a rise in "rightwing extremist activity," saying the economic recession, the election of America's first black president and the return of a few disgruntled war veterans could swell the ranks of white-power militias.

A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis defines "rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority.

"It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration," the warning says.

The White House has distanced itself from the analysis. When asked for comment on its contents, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said, "The President is focused not on politics but rather taking the steps necessary to protect all Americans from the threat of violence and terrorism regardless of its origins. He also believes those who serve represent the best of this country, and he will continue to ensure that our veterans receive the respect and benefits they have earned."

The nine-page document was sent to police and sheriff's departments across the United States on April 7 under the headline, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment."

It says the federal government "will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months" to gather information on "rightwing extremist activity in the United States."

The joint federal-state activities will have "a particular emphasis" on the causes of "rightwing extremist radicalization."

TENTH AMENDMENT
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

Texas Governor Rick Perry says that's the way to go (April 9, 2009)

“I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state,” Gov. Perry said. “That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the states’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union.”

1302 Obama - Dingbat Schumer

Charles Ellis Schumer, February 10, 2009

"And let me say this, to all of the chattering class. That so much focuses on those little tiny (yes porky amendments). The American people realy don't care."




Charles Ellis Schumer, April 9, 2009

"The hard right which still believes when the federal government moves chop off its hands, still believes , you know, that traditional values (kind of arguments) and strong foreign policy. All that's over. And I think President Obama has a pretty smart strategy. He's gonna talk bi-partisanship to the American people but realizes that until the republican grass roots pushes thier people over (if that ever happens), we're not going to get change in the house and senate"

1303 Obama - Head Shot

Atta boy for Obama (get 'er dun!)

President Obama was right on. Don't mess with pip squeak pirates. Hooray for the Navy Seals (as John Wayne would say - Good Shoot'n!)

Makes you think that a president that's fine with some good ole head shooting, might consider a little torture if needed.
