    The other bloggers need to read Dr. Sannity.

    You make solid points re the message of Obama’s behavior to the oppressed of these totalitarian regimes, Scott. The Lefties sharing that blog panel discussion with you are quite provincially naive and chauvinistic in thinking that our country is at the center of or responsible for the anti-American attitudes. Have they ever listened to or read the propaganda of the leaders of other nations? (Do they agree with that trashing of our country?) Have they ever heard a leader of another nation disrespect or apologize for his own nation?

    When Chavez handed that propaganda book to Obama, Chavez’s message was, “Now, you are my pet goat. I will be certain to promote my strength and your willingness to be my lackey via my seized media outlets.”

    Chavez is a terrific bookseller for inflammatory screeds. Didn’t his promotions shoot up the sales of Chomsky’s work?

    Reggie, the clown acting as moderator, refers to “our so-called enemies.” Haven’t the Venezuelan and Iranian regimes self identified as such? When did they become “so-called”?

    Finally, why didn’t Obama spend more of his efforts cultivating the good will of Colombis, which is growing as a democracy and fighting against the Chavez-sponsored FARC?

    I think Obama is seriously out of his depth. Of course, that’s not saying much; he’s none too deep…

    Obama circles the globe, touting his message that the US is an instrument of aggression and oppression. The continued saga of the failed Obama presidency demonstrates tone deafness and what Mitt Romney diplomatically calls a “timid” response in the world of real aggressors and oppressors.

    Who, exactly, is Obama trying to impress with his passivity and negativity?

    President Obama has failed his early foreign-policy tests, and is what the NRO characterizes as, “A Timid Advocate of Freedom”. This in a summary of remarks made by Mitt Romney.

    Governor Romney you may recall was the “Bronze Medalist” in the 2008 Republican Lie and Grabfest.

    In response to this, a certain well known bon vivant, and troll said: “Who let the dogs out? When you see Twit tell him I said: What is up, home boy?”

    ot?n

    I just finished watching a 1970 movie “Cannon For Cordoba” Starring George Peppard (of The “A Team” fame) it’s about General John J. “Blackjack” Pershing’s war with Mexican revolutionaries on the border in 1913. What I liked is one memorable line - “It’s better to die on your feet like a man than to live on your knees as a serf or slave.”

    I see that as applicable to our current situation wherein B. Hussein Obama believes quite sincerely (in his ‘mind’) that he is the new anointed Emperor and all of America must be brought into his line of reasoning, that being that their portion in life is to serve at his pleasure as his serfs. It’s all about control and this usurper from Kenya is making great progress in dismantling our Constitution. His puppetmasters are quite lenient is supporting and promoting his delusional agenda. They will tug on his leash and bring him to heel, when their agenda is fulfilled.

    Of course what he and they have neglected is the fact that God is in charge - not Obama.

    “I just finished watching a 1970 movie “Cannon For Cordoba” Starring George Peppard …”

    It’s too bad you didn’t get a chance to see that movie during the last administration.

    Everthink?

    I’ve had requests to repost this pro 2nd Amendment video about a Texas lady, M.D. and her very emotional testimony. God bless this woman and her very powerful comments! I make it a point to watch it at least once a week to keep it fresh in my mind.

    Very powerful presentation!!!

    How sad this Texas lady had the encroachment on her second
    amendment rights so graphically illustrated.

    I see the honorable senator from New York was getting a little
    uncomfortable in his chair.

    The gun banners are absolutely speechless as this little Texas
    gal chews them up and spits them out.

    She knows what the 2nd amendment is really all about.

    Watch it. You will be glad you did. And pass it along.

    Here’s a video that I guarantee you won’t forget anytime soon!
    She didn’t cry, although she came close.

    “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.”

    -Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 10 October 1787

    Off Topic - but sadly funny.

    This was in a newspaper column sent to me by my retired cop buddy in St. Pete, FL. He footnoted the reproduction of the column with his comment: Folks, Just remember as you read this, this person probably drives AND votes!

    And may have already reproduced.

    “To all you hunters who kill animals for food, shame on you; you ought to go to the store and buy the meat that was made there, where no animals were harmed.”
    Sounds to me like one of our trolls may be writing for “The Saint Petersburg Times”?? The level of intelligence and knowledge is eerily similar.

    Just arrived from my cop buddy mentioned in my prior #11 - “Amazing” is a word tossed about all too commonly these days, but this deserves the word “Amazing”.
