ACLU praises Obama as he extends Patriot Act

So Obama has decided to extend all three key provisions of the Patriot Act that were set to expire. You know, the ones that allow the federal government to find out what library books you're checking out, conduct roving wiretaps without a court warrant and snoop on citizens who have no link to foreign governments or terrorist groups. The same provisions that had liberal groups like the ACLU screaming bloody murder when Bush signed them into law.

According to the AP: As a presidential candidate, Barack Obama said he would take a close look at the law, based on his past expertise in constitutional law. Back in May, President Obama said legal institutions must be updated to deal with the threat of terrorism, but in a way that preserves the rule of law and accountability. In a letter to lawmakers, Justice Department officials said the administration supports extending the three expiring provisions of the law, although they are willing to consider additional privacy protections as long as they don't weaken the effectiveness of the law.

Translation: Obama enjoyed posing as a civil libertarian during the campaign, but now that he's president, he likes the power of wiretapping anybody he wants at will, so he'll keep Bush's surveillance state intact while making vague, mollifying promises about future reforms "provided that they do not undermine the effectiveness of these important (provisions)." In other words, as long as the "reforms" are strictly window-dressing. But brown-nosing liberals predictably gobble up the empty rhetoric, and ACLU talking heads like Michelle Richardson hail the continuation of the status quo as "definitely a sea change from what we've seen in the past" -- without the slightest hint of irony.

All this should of course come as no surprise to anyone who knows anything about the modern American left. You see, liberals have only two ironclad, uncompromising principles: abortion and homosexuality. That's right. As long as they get to kill babies and roger each other up the rear as much as they like, they're happy campers. So can we change the definition of marriage now?

Is Obama the Antichrist?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I believe the world may be coming to an end. And if I'm not mistaken, it could be ending in July 2012. I know that's pretty short notice, so if you've always dreamed of going to Rome or Paris and haven't done it yet, maybe you should book that flight sometime in the next couple of years, just in case I'm right.

How so? I'm afraid the handwriting is on the wall. Think about it. Eight years ago, America was attacked by a Muslim by the name of Osama. And last year, America elected a half-Muslim by the name of Obama president. What was America thinking?!??

Also, in Mark 13:14, when the apostles asked Jesus how they would know when the end is near, he said the sign of the of the end times would be "when you shall see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not." Well America just made itself an Obama Nation of Desolation by making Obama president! (Obama Nation sounds just like abomination. Coincidence? There are no coincidences in God's creation, and anyone who has read the Bible knows that God loves puns and homonyms!)

And what is America today if not an Obamanation of desolation? Desolation means wasteland, by the way. And are we not an economic and cultural wasteland? Think about it. We're now experiencing the worst economy since the Great Depression, possibly ever. Two out of the three Big Three automakers -- once the symbol of American capitalism -- are now bankrupt wards of the state. We're not only an Obamanation of desolation. We're a COMMUNIST Obamanation of desolation!

How about culturally? Take a look at the institution of marriage, for starters. The divorce rate is at an all-time high, and single motherhood is an epidemic. And how about our education system, where they've replaced the three Rs with the three Cs: Condoms, Condoms and Condoms. They're even teaching kids as young as 10 how to masturbate. Excuse me?!?? And have you ever wondered why Johnny can't read too well? Maybe it's because they've replaced Mark Twain on the reading curriculum with "Heather Has Two Mommies" and"Daddy's Roommate!"

Which brings me to the second sign. The Book of Revelation says that Sodom will reappear in the last days. And isn't America becoming a virtual Sodom and Gomorrah? Massachusetts, once the home of the Puritans, has just legalized gay marriage! Excuse me, I should say HOMOSEXUAL marriage, because as my hero, former Fort Lauderdale mayor Jim Naugle says, we shouldn't call them gay because they're definitely not happy. Another sure sign: Genesis Chapter 14 identifies the king of Sodom by name as Bara King of Sodom. Put that together and you get BARAKingofSodom. BARAK!! Well America just elected him president!!!

Which brings me to Revelation Chapter 13, where the beast or Antichrist is introduced. Here, St. John tells us that the beast will miraculously recover from a seemingly fatal wound. Think back to last January. The pundits were virtually writing Obama's political obituary back then because he had just been defeated by Hillary in the New Hampshire primary, but as we all know he miraculously recovered to take the nomination by a hair. Could that be the fulfillment of that prophecy? We're also told that all the world shall worship the beast. Doesn't that remind you of the Obama cult of personality? I mean, you can't walk into a convenience store without being assaulted by the plethora of Obama merchandise. You've got the Obama posters, the Obama inauguration commemorate mugs, the Obama keychains. They even made an Obama chia pet! Can the Church of Obama be far behind? Next, we're told that the beast shall rule for 42 months, and then, Armaggedon. Here it's worth mentioning that the Mayan calendar abruptly ends in 2012. Well if you count 42 months from the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama, you get July 2012! Coincidence? I think not!

Did you know Revelation 13 also makes reference to the Internet? It says that everyone shall be made to worship a moving image of the beast or suffer the consequences. Well, Obama is known as the most Internet-savvy president ever, and his moving image is all over the World Wide Web. And last year, Obama voted for the infamous electronic surveillance bill that allows the government to monitor all our Internet activities without a warrant. So if you post a negative comment on some Obama streaming video message, don't be surprised if Big Brother comes after you!

Finally, the last verse of Revelation Chapter 13 tells us to count the number of the beast, for his number is 666. Well, the word abomination is all over the Book of Revelation as well, so I knew I had to add Obama's name to the nation (Obama+Nation) to get the magic number. So to test the theory, I spent a couple of hours researching how Barack Hussein Obama spells out in Arabic script, and then I found an Arabic numerology chart and started counting up the value of the letters. Well it turns out there are two ways to spell Barack in Arabic. One form of the name, Barak, means blessed. The other form, Burak, was the name of the beast that Mohammed, according to the myth, supposedly road the clouds to Jerusalem on (to justify Muslims' false claim on the Holy Land). Well, Muslim myth tells us that the beast was something between a donkey and a mule. Obama is both. He's a donkey because he's a Democrat (whose party symbol is a donkey). And he's a mule because he's racially mixed. The Spanish word for racially mixed (specifically, half white, half black) is mulatto -- which means mule! So I knew that had to be the right version of the name to use. So I added Barack Hussein Obama in Arabic to America spelled in Greek (the language of the Book of Revelation). And I got 664.... Phew, I thought. He's not the Antichrist! But then I remembered that Obama is a junior because his father had the same name. That means he's Barack Hussein Obama II. When you add that Roman numeral 2, you get exactly 666!

Better book that flight to Rome.

The new gods: Obama and "Green"

I just received the following email from MoveOn.org. (Yes, I have decided to remain on their mailing list for the endless laughs they provide.)

Dear MoveOn member, Remember those incredible Obama "Hope" posters from the election? Inspiring, moving, and unforgettable, the image became the emblem of a movement that changed America. Now, Shepard Fairey, the acclaimed artist and designer of that iconic image, has a new creation: "Clean Energy for America." We want to make sure that this new poster, inspired by the President's vision to rebuild our economy with clean energy, becomes as well-known and loved as "Hope."

And for "only" $20, plus shipping and handling, you can get your very own "HOPE"-like poster of windmills. Yes, WINDMILLS! Check it out:

http://obeygiant.com/store/product.php?productid=134&cat=1&page=1

There's something eerily reminiscent of one of those 1930s Stalinist or Nazi lithographs about this, down to the prominent reds and obsession with iconography. I almost feel like I'm back in Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union!

Anyway, who ever said liberal socialist atheism isn't a religion? But you really do have to feel sorry for today's liberals -- the modern counterparts of the pagans of the past. Think about it. They have to settle for posters of Obama and windmills to fill the extreme emptiness of their lives. At least the heathens of ancient times had idols of gold and bronze to worship.

Obama the Unitary Executive

As if we needed any further proof that Obama is a lot like Bush, only worse, we have this news today about Obama's decision to follow Bush's example of using "signing statements" to unilaterally declare his "right" to ignore parts of any bill he doesn't like immediately after signing the bill.

www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jTUXZ57-4A_UnsbDtQDPlUwZlbIQD99J2TQO0

Obama, ever the hypocrite, naturally criticised Bush for doing the same thing while he was running to become Bush's successor. But being a narcissist, he obviously doesn't feel restrained by any of the Constitutional limits he felt his predecessor should be bound to.

And so Obama continues using the Constitution as a piece of toilet paper, and his star-struck sycophants in the media who created him just goes on patting themselves on the back for bringing us "hope and change."

Can I vomit now?

$23 trillion price tag on Bush-Obama socialism

Read it and weep:

www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/20/watchdog-financial-bailout-support-reach-trillion/

Now that's a hefty price tag! But hey, who ever said Stalinism was cheap?

By the way, Dubya, thanks for being such a "compassionate" conservative! Obama thanks you too!

Obama's hometown hosts jihadi conference

If anyone still needed convincing that the ObamaNation has become not just indifferent but completely oblivious to the threat of Islamic terrorism, here's a story that should dispel any lingering doubts:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,533525,00.html

So here's a once-secretive militant Islamist group that's suddenly coming out of the shadows to the point of openly hosting a huge jihadi conference on American soil to advocate for the death of capitalism and establishment of a worldwide Islamic empire -- and the people who are supposed to be guarding our national security say it's all perfectly kosher.

Could there be any clearer sign that the Islamists know they're safe with our Dhimmicrat Congress and Islamocommunist president, whose Homeland Security Department has declared that conservatives and pro-lifers are the only "terrorists" to be concerned about?

And where better to plot the overthrow of the West than Obama's hometown -- the land of Barack, Farrakhan, Bill Ayers, and Jeremiah Wright?

Obamacare to the rescue?

And so Obama and the Democrats push ahead with their socialist makeover of America as they now focus on taking over the nation’s health care system. Democrats have just announced that the Obama health care plan has an estimated price tag of $1.5 trillion. With a T. That’s $1,500,000,000,000 – a number so mind-boggling that it requires an illustration to wrap our human minds around it. So let’s imagine stacking 1.5 trillion dollar bills on top of each other. How tall a pile would that make? A mile high? Ten miles? A thousand miles? Not even close. The pile of dollars would be as tall as 13 planet earths stacked on top of each other.

And that’s how much money the Obama Democrats want to spend, on top of the trillion-dollar Cstimulus” which has yet to produce a single job, the $3 trillion in paper money that the Federal Reserve has printed out of thin air, and the rest of Obama’s bank-busting third-world socialist program for America.

But sadly, the truth is that the $1.5 estimate is a gross underestimate of what it will end up costing. If the politicians tell you a government program is going cost only $1.5 trillion, you can be sure its actual cost is much, much higher. And frankly, that’s the Democrats’ plan. They can’t come right out and say they want to completely nationalize health care, so they claim they just want to provide a free “public option” to compete with private health plans, based on the capitalistic-sounding notion that the competition will bring down private sector prices. Think about the logic of that for a minute. If the government is providing something for free, why would anyone voluntarily choose to buy it from private companies instead? It’s absurd. Inevitably, everyone will choose the free government plan, and the cost of providing it to every man, woman and children in America will explode. It will also destroy the free enterprise system as far as medicine goes. The rewards of the free market system are what have led to the innovations and advances in prescription drugs, medical technologies and treatment methods that have caused the rest of the world to flock to America for care.

Does anyone really think the world will flock to America for bloated, inefficient, government-run Obamacare?

What's even worse, Democrats are determined to make this massive white elephant the vehicle for forcing taxpayers to pay for butchering the unborn by making abortion on demand -- liberals' only uncompromising principle -- a covered procedure.

The American health care system is far from perfect, and a lot could be done to bring down costs – by shifting the emphasis from treatment to prevention and fostering healthy (i.e, godly) habits, for starters. But the Democrats’ prescription for solving the system’s problems is definitely a case of the “cure” being far, far worse than the disease.
