Ten Events That Defined 2009

1). The failure to properly vet Barack Obama as a Presidential candidate resulted in the biggest fraud in history being perpetrated against the American people. The people voted against George Bush. They did not vote for Karl Marx. His actions on both the domestic and foreign relation fronts show he has malice towards the United States. He does not show the leadership consistent with a leader of the Free World. This administration’s political correctness poses a clear and present danger to the national security of the United States. The sheeple of the United States of America were hoodwinked into believing the mantra of “Hope and Change.” What they got was “No hope and all their Change taxed.” Oops!
2). Against the overwhelming majority of the will of the American people, Congress rams Obamacare down the throats of the citizens. In a completely partisan vote in the Senate and with only one Republican voting ”Yes” in the House of Representatives, these two bills mark America’s next step towards European Socialism. These bills symbolize a total breakdown in our representative democracy. All Obamacare will do is add more government bureaucracy and allow the government to control another one-sixth of the economy of the United States. How far must the country fall before good people decide to draw a line in the sand, and say it stops right here, right now.
3). The head of the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, tells local law enforcement that returning veterans, pro-life people, Ron Paul supporters, tea party attendees, and people who support the Second Amendment are potential domestic terrorists, like Timothy McVeigh. It is my opinion that Barack Obama has done more to destroy this country his first year in office than all of the terrorists combined.
4). The exposure of Al Gore and climate change is revealed as voodoo science. It is junk science. Follow the money, People! Isn’t it convenient that the people who stand to profit the most from Cap and Trade legislation and global warming paranoia are the people who have invested heavily green energy? The hacked emails from East Anglia at the very least should bring a full-scale investigation into this bogus science. The people of this country are done being manipulated. “The Inconvenient Truth” has turned out to be a very “Convenient Lie.” These political hacks turned “expert climatologists” are trying to get rich off the American tax dollar. The Climate Change Summit heralded an attempt at the biggest redistribution of wealth in the history of the world. One would think the CRU would have used better passwords on their computers.
5). With economic collapse, crisis, and catastrophe imminent, Congress rushed to sign the biggest spending bill in history. Obama promised that if the bill passed unemployment would not go above 8%. $787 billion dollars later unemployment stands at 10.3% and is still rising. Rather than admit incompetence, the Administration finger points and whines. When all else fails, they blame George Bush. The worst part of the stimulus bill was that in their haste to “Save America”, Congress did not read or write the bill that they passed into law. Did you think the American people wouldn’t notice? We noticed.
6). The birth of a grassroots Conservative movement gained momentum. The tea parties were common people getting together and saying “Enough was Enough”. September 12, 2009 was the culmination of these individual movements. Over two million people marched on Washington DC. The current administration brushed them off as not being a representative sampling of America. YOU WERE WRONG. Harry Reid was quoted as saying, “You can actually smell the tourists out there.” The main stream media forgot to show up and severely under-reported the numbers in attendance, once again proving the theory that unbiased journalism died in 2009. The liberal media has shown over and over that they are no longer the political watch-dogs. They are now the current administration’s propaganda ministry. It is unprofessional and unbecoming of journalists.
7). Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan opens fire at Fort Hood killing 12 and wounding 31 people. Maj. Hasan was open about his radical beliefs. He said he was a Muslim first and a soldier second. The infection that is political correctness rewarded his radical beliefs. Intelligence did nothing with information that he was trying to contact Al-Qaeda for the purpose of joining the Jihad. He was an outspoken critic of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The military promoted this insolent behavior. The blood of all the innocent people who died on November 5, 2009, is on the hands of the bureaucrats in the Pentagon. Political Correctness (PC) will not allow the media or the President to call Hasan what he is, a terrorist. This terrorist deserves to be shipped down to Gitmo and interrogated with extreme prejudice. PC is killing this country. Thank you, former President Bush and Laura Bush, for praying with the families at Ft. Hood. The concern you showed will stay with the victims and their families longer than you will ever know.
8). Attorney General, Eric Holder made three decisions that pose a clear and present danger to the United States. First, he decided not to prosecute two members of the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation. This happened on Nov 4, 2008, in Philadelphia. It has been swept under the rug. I can only assume that this was done as a personal favor to Malik Shabbaz, who reportedly visited the White House sometime in 2009.
Second, he chose to investigate and prosecute the “enhanced interrogation” techniques used by the CIA to obtain intelligence that saved American lives. If our intelligence operatives on the ground think they will be prosecuted for doing their job, which is keeping America safe, they will hesitate. The safety of American citizens must come first before the supposed rights of terrorists. Remember in the field what quarter do they show our prisoners? None. They torture and mutilate our soldiers.
Lastly, Holder’s decision to bring the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the 9-11 attacks, to New York City has again compromised the security of the United States. Mohammed is being tried in a civilian court, giving him the platform he wants to justify his actions and spew his hate at the American people. He should have been brought before a Military Tribunal, found guilty, and then hung. Any future attacks on the American people will have severe political implications for the Obama administration. If our government will not admit we are at war or why we are fighting, how can we expect to prevail over an enemy that is willing to sacrifice their lives for their cause? Radical Islamic Fundamentalism threatens the peace, prosperity, and future security of the United States of America.
9). The unrest in Iran after the “re-election” of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the first international test for the inexperienced and apparently inept Barack Obama. The people of Iran finally stepped up to the Supreme Leader and the Revolutionary Guard. They were pleading in the streets for America’s help. The leader of the Free World had a responsibility to help the people of Iran. Obama did nothing but talk. Our coward-in-chief had an opportunity to stand for freedom and liberty and he chose to stand with “Little Hitler.” One must ask himself/herself what would Ronald Reagan done? Instead of showing strength, Obama acted more like Jimmy Carter, or even worse Neville Chamberlain. He tries to appease the enemies of freedom around the world. The only thing that he has gotten in return is laughed at. Russian leaders would not even show him the respect of a handshake. The world sees Obama as unsure, vulnerable, and most dangerous of all, weak. You keep peace by showing force with the hope you never have to use it. This clown learned nothing from the Cold War. Reagan tore down the iron curtain with his words. Obama is not in the same class as Ronald Reagan. He is more like Nancy.
10). Dr. Michael Savage was banned from Britain. The British government has seen fit to place a conservative talk radio host in the same company as convicted terrorists, skinheads, and murderers. Their reasoning was that his speech was filled with hate and incited violence. Since when has “Borders, Language, and Culture” define hate speech? The British government has defamed Dr. Savage. The infringement of his Freedom of Speech has been met with the usual silence by our government. Dr. Savage is currently in a lawsuit with the Home Secretary of England to have his name taken off the list. He was only put on the list to appease the increasingly violent and vocal Muslim population in England.
2009 has been the year of collapse. Economies collapsed, bubbles burst, unemployment skyrocketed, and the American people lost their representative democracy. It was a year marked by corporate bailouts, out of control legislation, massive deficits, America’s march towards socialism, and the death of objective journalism. If 2010 is going be any better “We the People” must draw that proverbial line in the sand, and say to the government, “You will go no further.” The American people must force the government to do what they now have to do, live within their means. If 2010 is going to be the Year of the Conservative everyone must stop wondering what they can do to help further the cause, get off their duffs, and do something. Get involved. Americans must take more than a passing interest in the future of your children and grandchildren. This is the greatest country in the world. The United States is the last, best hope for man on Earth. Isn’t it worth fighting for?
