Subtlety - Redefined

Subtlety: The quality of being difficult to detect or analyze.

A new Homeland Security report has surfaced addressing the rise/threat of right-wing extremists. It is all over the news [well, in some news agencies, anyway], so you can go look it up yourself.

But here is my point: it is beginning to look like ANY comment that just might be against the Government policies and programs and/or Barack Hussein Obama may well put you on someone's anti-government list. You may be an extremist!

Are you pro-life?

Are you anti-illegal immigration?

Do you believe in the 1st Amendment and that you have a RIGHT to express your support, or more importantly, your non-support, of overly invasive government policies and programs? Or criticize Barack Hussein Obama?

Do you voice your opinion against government policies or officials?

Do you support the 2nd Amendment and the right to bear arms?

Do you support the 10th Amendment and believe in a less intrusive federal government [rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority]?

Are you against bigger, stronger federal government?

Do you feel the federal government is slowly squashing individual rights?

Against corrupt politicians? Feel like your elected officials might be less than honorable? [Of course, one must keep in mind WE elected these people! But that isn't the point here.]

Are you religious? [Or, more accurately, are you a Christian?]

Have you lost your home? Your car? Your credit? Your job?

Are you against affirmative action programs, instead thinking a person should advance based on THEIR skills, education, etc., and not some government-mandated quota?

Do you display signs, bumber stickers, etc., like "Don't Tread On Me" or "Molon Labe"?

Are you a veteran?

If any of these describe you, then YOU may well be a right-wing extremist -according to a new Homeland Security report. Your government here to keep you safe.

Now back to my first line: subtlety.

By virtue of the above 'designations', it seems the government has found a way to start suppressing dissent. If you express any sentiment other than the 'approved' government position, then you just might be an extremist. Since most people do not like being labeled as an 'extremist', this type report paints, with very broad strokes, a lot of people IF those people disagree with the government position. Or Barack Hussein Obama.

What appears to be a 'report' on extremists actually sets the groundwork for the government to suppress anyone it feels as a threat. A most subtle way of controlling the populace, in my opinion.

Keep in mind, this report is the UNCLASSIFIED version....imagine what the classified report must contain.

[It should be noted, in an effort to show impartiality, this report follows on the heels of a previous report on left-wing extremists. Oh, and both reports were supposedly initiated under President Bush's administration, so the current administration can continue to NOT be held accountable for anything.]

Updated Comment on Obama's Submissiveness to Saudi Arabia

There has been a lot of discussion over Barack Hussein Obama's bowing to the Dictator of Saudi Arabia. The media/liberals/Democrats are quick to point out President Bush's holding hands with the dictator, etc.

Well, let me give you my take on this. President Bush may have held hands and all [hell, I don't even care if he kissed the dictator on his lips], but he didn't bow in submission to him.

Integrity - Where has it gone?

Integrity - it seems to be losing ground in the media even faster than I ever imagined.

Take the issue of whether Barack Hussein Obama bowed to Dictator Abdullah of Saudi Arabia [you can see the video below in a previous blog entry].

Look at it closely. Look for several things:

First, when Barack Hussein Obama started bowing to shake hands, how many hands did he extend to grasp that of Dictator Abdullah?

Second, as Barack Hussein Obama is bowing, can you see his LEFT hand? Where is it located?

Third, at what point did Barack Hussein Obama use two hands to grasp Dictator Abdullah's hand?

Fourth, was Dictator Abdullah standing or sitting throughout this exchange?

Fifth, notice the style of Barack Hussein Obama's bow: one leg back, the other slightly bent at the knee.

These points are relevant because it brings up an integrity issue. Now, I realize there are many reporters with many different perspectives on issues. I got that. But what I am concerned about is something I heard on a FOX show.

See video of the show here: Fox News: Picture Imperfect

Now listen to Kristen Powers' comments. She is a Democratic strategist and frequent contributor on FOX News. Two things stand out.

One, she specifically states that Barack Hussein Obama is NOT bowing.

Two, she goes even further, later in the show, and unequivocally states that Dictator Abdullah is sitting!

So, I ask you: Where is Ms Powers' integrity? Did she see a totally different video of the interaction between Barack Hussein Obama and Dictator Abdullah? If she did, I would like to view that one.

However, if she watched the same video included in the FOX show, how can she make those two statements? Is maintaining the party line now more important than integrity?

By her comments, it must be.

"... Provocative ..."

Well, North Korea launched its missile...just like it said it would.

And Barack Hussein Obama's response? "... provocative ..."

WOW!! That pushed Kim Jong Il up against the wall, didn't it? Defy the United States again, will you!?

If North Korea steps out of line again, maybe Barack Hussein Obama will order Kim Jong Il to "Stop it!"

Or, just an after thought, maybe Kim Jong Il is upset that Barack Hussein Obama wasn't adequately submissive to him, you know, like Barack Hussein Obama was to Dictator Abdullah. I mean, if I was a world-class tyrant, and the POTUS had not shown proper subservience to me, I would be upset.

Just Wondering ...

Given Michelle Obama’s stated attitude about white people…I just wonder how she feels about having to kiss all those white people in Europe?

Or is it just AMERICAN white people she doesn’t like?
