“Barack Obama has not only said that he is out to “change the United States of America,” the people he has been associated with for years have expressed in words and deeds their hostility to the values, the principles and the people of this country.

Jeremiah Wright said it with words: “God damn America!” Bill Ayers said it with bombs that he planted. Community activist goons have said it with their contempt for the rights of other people.

Among the people appointed as czars by President Obama have been people who have praised enemy dictators like Mao, who have seen the public schools as places to promote sexual practices contrary to the values of most Americans, to a captive audience of children. “

Sowell nails it!

TY for the ping. I will never be Obongo’s comrade. He’s a joke, a big joke. It’s the ones pulling his strings that worry me.

and then there’s no way you’re getting 60 votes in the Senate for removal.

It takes 67 votes for removal.

Why do you think obamama fought so hard to keep his Blackberry - against all security protocol for a POTUS They run his Shadow Gov’t without any oversight by the real gov’t

Almost certainly true. What are the chances some deft individual hackers could start capturing his text and voice messages for the benefit of public exposure of what he is really up to.

As a matter of law, using Wireless communications devices are not legally considered "private".

With any luck, the "One" may have left an electronic trail long and thick enough to politically hang him.

Wonder how long it would take his fellow Communists in the Senate and House to throw him under the bus...and magically discover..."Oh, it wasnt our fault. We're really fine, upstanding patriotic Americans. He tricked us. He really was born in Kenya...guess we were fooled by his erudition and seeming American-ness"

I don’t see how this can be lawful.

All communications with the President or the White House are to be saved for history, by law.

“He tells it as it is, and isn’t interested in compromising just so he can get invited to cocktail parties in Manhattan.”

Ditto that. Sowell embodies ‘American’. Read his essays whenever I can.

So all my airhead friend can say to this is:

“According to this article, everyone, obviously, is still allowed to express their own opinions.”

When are these idiots going to understand this is LEADING to the point where such is not true?

That thought never crosses a lot of the idiots minds and it could happen.

I love Thomas Sowell, perhaps the only thing he left out
was in spite of all Obama’s rush to pass these “Urgent”
bills, he is now dithering in regards to our troops need
for reinforcements.

Other than that he’s got Obama in a nutshell.

If Obama succeeds in turning over ANY of our
sovereignty to the UN, it will mean war against
a tyrannical oppressive government.

We are a nation whose sovereignty resides in it’s people
as we are a government OF the people.
If that is taken away and given to a distant entity,
we are no different than the colonists, and we can
do no less than they did when faced with that same
tyranny.

May Divine Providence provide for our nations posterity,
and bring peace to Israel and the world. Amen.

My FRiend, the only way to stop this fraudulent thugocracy is a revolution. A real one. Communism and Dictators have never been removed peacefully. Never. CO

Agreed. And let's not mince words. COMMUNIST coup.

One that is done under cover of lying denials to and for the benefit of the SHeeple.

Notice how extremely fast the "One" was to to phone up the New York Times journalist who openly started questioning Obama's disavowals of socialism.

A dismissive attitude from a woman who voted for Uhbama because she “didn’t like the Pres” candidates, and was “scared” of Palin (probably because she’s a fan of “the Piew”). So chose based on Joe Biden (a guy who can’t manage to get by a week without some major faux pas).

Darn rights it’s a coup. And I can’t help but think that the US Military must be getting pretty darn fed up with this pr*ck by now. He is DELIBERATELY leaving them hanging out there like sitting ducks. I was outraged when the news this morning said that another 8 soldiers/marines were killed in Afghanistan this morning. That’s in addition to the 14 yesterday. ENOUGH!! This creep is so FULL of himself he thinks he’s invincible. It’s time to strike me thinks while his head is in the air!! CO

"All communications with the President or the White House are to be saved for history, by law."

Since when has breaking the law been a barrier that this guy has given more than two seconds thought about? Look how fast he fired that Inspector General without following ANY of the legal requirements thereto? And as all we Freepers know...he routinely ignores and undermines and attacks the Constitution with even less...

Excellent point. What Obama is doing with the Afghanistan thing is criminal, IMO. He’s taking his sweet time while our military people are getting wounded and killed and he’s in high gear at home to pass legislation that there’s absolutely no rush to pass. As a matter of fact we’d all be better off if they took months to study the “urgent” bills and even a lot of Dems would probably change their minds and vote against them.
