Since taking office one year ago today, Obama and America's liberal establishment have bent over backwards in their attempts to maintain their political correctness.
Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton echoed the administrations new refrain that this is not a War on Terror, but rather a war against al Qaeda. Terrorist attacks are no longer called such, now they are "man-made disasters".
Man-made disasters? That's akin to calling the sun an alternative heat source.
The Obama team refuses to acknowledge the fact that these extremists have declared Jihad against the western countries. It is not limited to al Qaeda. They no longer mention Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, or Hezbollah as enemies of the west.
They ignore the fact that these organizations have been involved in this struggle against the west.
They are not fighting the west because we are in the Middle East. They are waging war against our lifestyle, religions, and democratic institutions. Their stated goal is the Islamization of the west. In Europe this transformation is much further along and received a boost recently with the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty.
This treaty opens the European borders to northern African countries. Movement between countries will be free and easy. Work permits will be extended to all who qualify under these provisions.
The treaty also makes it impossible for an individual European country to pass a law for self-preservation. All laws must fully comply with the E.U. laws and mandates.
The overwhelming majority of Muslim people do not support the extremists and are no more a threat than you or I.
Under the direction of the Commander-in-chief, the Pentagon has issued a report that studied the terrorist attack on Fort Hood, Texas.
Nowhere in the report is any mention of Nidal Hasan's belief in radical Islam. Nowhere does it mention "man-made disasters", terrorism or terrorists.
Now Congress opens two days of hearings today into the Pentagon probe of the Nov. 5 attack that left 13 dead, lawmakers want explanations for that omission.
The Pentagon report's silence on Islamic extremism "shows you how deeply entrenched the values of political correctness have become," he told TIME on Tuesday. "It's definitely getting worse, and is now so ingrained that people no longer smirk when it happens."
Yet the leaders of the two-month Pentagon review, former Army Secretary Togo West and the Navy's onetime top admiral, Vernon Clark, told reporters last week that they didn't drill down into Hasan's motives. "Our concern is with actions and effects, not necessarily with motivations," West said. Added Clark: "We certainly do not cite a particular group."
"The report demonstrates that we are unwilling to identify and confront the real enemy of political Islam," says a former military colleague of Hasan, speaking privately because he was ordered not to talk about the case. "Political correctness has brainwashed us to the point that we no longer understand our heritage and cannot admit who, or what, the enemy stands for."
The Congressman whose district includes Fort Hood agrees. "The report ignores the elephant in the room — radical Islamic terrorism is the enemy," says Republican Representative John Carter. "We should be able to speak honestly about good and bad without feeling like you've done something offensive to society."
The report lumps in radical Islam with other fundamentalist religious beliefs, saying that "religious fundamentalism alone is not a risk factor" and that "religious-based violence is not confined to members of fundamentalist groups." But to some, that sounds as if the lessons of 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq, where jihadist extremism has driven deadly violence against Americans, are being not merely overlooked but studiously ignored.
Voters in the Massachusetts special election cited national security as a concern, as well as jobs and the overall economy.
It is a shame our President and Congressional leaders do not see the errors in their assessment of what we are facing as a nation.
For them to place "political correctness" ahead of national security is alarming and dangerous.

It's the Agenda, stupid
In 2008, voters ushered in a new chapter of the American story. The nation elected our President of 'hope' and 'change'. We were free of Bush and happy days were here again.
Upon taking the reigns, Obama and the Democrats running Congress kicked off their term by forcing a stimulus spending bill filled with "shovel-ready" jobs.
Congress could not have time to read the bill as it was deemed an emergency that could not wait a couple more days. So members tossed caution to the wind and voted blind.
Was the passed bill rushed up Pennsylvania Avenue for signing by an awaiting Obama?
No.
Obama had flown to Chicago with Michele and the girls for the weekend. So why didn't they want members to read it again? Emergency?
After that we saw the House take up Cap & Trade.
To be the most punitive tax levied against Americans, the Dems in the House appeared to have a ready-written plan. American business is to be put at a competitive disadvantage, facing CO2 emission caps while they barter for others allotments.
These related fees will hit companies hard in direct increase production costs. Don't feel bad for them. They are going to pass those cost increases onto us through price increases.
This will hit Americans hard financially. We will see increases in gas, fuel oil, groceries, clothing, etc.
The bill goes further. It contains some costly changes to building codes. Initial construction costs in Alexandria, VA is around 30% higher. California just took this same route, statewide.
The senate has yet to take up their version of this bill.
Voters now know that the claims of global warming being caused by man and at the rate they indicated are dubious.
They claim they lost the raw data, but were clear in their attempts to manipulate data and change raw numbers. NASA is also unable to provide their data.
More & more people are expressing skepticism about this.
Hard to really grasp when you see those touting this wasting mass amounts of tax dollars to attend a Copenhagen Conference that accomplished nothing.
As I recall, John Kerry could not 'ride share' with Nancy Pelosi , other members, family & friends. Selfish John had to have a government plane all to himself. Don't pity Nancy either. She wasn't too cramped. Her entourage used three aircraft.
When people voiced concern for what they saw coming out of congress and the White House, they were met with scorn, derided as racists, tea baggers, and Nazis.
Of course the people grew angry and yelled at them when they refused to listen.
They were really mad when the SEIU thugs were deployed to the Town Hall meetings to 'keep order'.
Americans responded by keeping two Governorships from the left in states carried by Obama.
A sense of frustration continued to rise as Obama & the Democrats placed Cap & Trade ahead of much needed jobs.
Obama waited until December to notice his high unemployment and call a "jobs" summit.
The whole of this agenda is based on liberals fantasy and not one ounce based in reality.
Americans believe their president is completely disconnected from them, and following an agenda that seems foreign to them. Voters are going to slap Obama & the Democrats upside the head at the ballot box in Massachusetts, one more time to try to get their attention.
Watch Wednesday morning.
The White House and the left will blame Coakley just like they blamed Corzine & Deeds for their respective losses.
They never take blame.
They want us to believe its the messenger and not the message.
Folks, if the voters in the liberals deep-blue Massachusetts reject this agenda, then there is a problem with the agenda.
To play off James Carville:
It's the agenda, stupid!!

Liberals Judgement & Priorites Out Of Sync
The world is aware that we are all facing economic uncertainty. Some nations are faring better than others.
Many were left scratching their heads when the worlds leaders chose to attend the 'global warming' conference in Copenhagen, Denmark last month.
Many questioned the priorities & judgement of those choosing to attend.
It had only been a few weeks since we had all learned how the scientists touting global warming, had been lying in their analysis and manipulating their climate models and outcomes to support their agenda.
Would the world have been better served if these leaders had come together to discuss the global economy and job creation?
They certainly accomplished nothing meaningful in Copenhagen.
I am not arguing the merits for or against global warming. I believe the world may indeed be getting warmer, but question the validity of mankind being the culprit.
The earth has warmed & cooled several times over millions of years with and without mankind being here to influence this phenomenon.
With that said, I want to discuss the judgement & priorities of our elected leaders.
This conference was held to discuss global warming, and more specifically, CO2 emissions.
The US. Congressional Leadership felt the urge to attend this conference despite having nothing to add to the dialogue.
Nancy Pelosi's judgement & priorities allowed her to arrive at the decision, that despite the US economy shedding jobs, and the US being broke; she would attend the conference.
She did not go alone.
Pelosi took over 100 people with her on the taxpayers dime. Only 20 of these people were actual members of Congress. The rest were the delegations family, friends, and servants/staff.
In Copenhagen, the American taxpayers were given the honor of paying for these people to stay at the 5-star Marriott Hotel. We also provided them with handsome per diems to cover the cost of meals & alcohol for the 21 Congress persons, their families & friends.
Being a conference focused on CO2 emissions, did Pelosi set an example by "ride-sharing"?
No. These folks needed three aircraft at $10,000 per hour just for fuel...........each. That doesn't include the military & security personnel needed for such a trip.
Judgement & priorities come into question.
It gets better.
Former Democratic presidential candidate, Senator John Kerry, the preeminent DC prima dona, could not share a plane with Nancy & company.
Taxpayers are footing the bill for John Kerry to fly on a large government-owned executive jet.............................alone!!
Again, judgement & priorities come into question.
CNNs, Jack Cafferty reported on this story and took great lengths to expose this scam against American taxpayers.
Cafferty went on to opine:
"Pelosi refused to answer any questions about costs for this or where they all stayed, even though she was the one who decided who went. Her office says only that it will -- quote -- "comply with disclosure requirements" -- unquote. CBS puts the cost of military jet flying time at about $170,000, plus the cost of dozens of commercial flights, hundreds of hotel stays, many of them at the five-star Marriott, and tens of thousands in meals and other entertainment expense.
It's a disgrace.
The national unemployment rate is 10 percent. Employers cut more jobs than expected just last month. We got the numbers on Friday. People are suffering in this country.
California, Pelosi's home state, is faced with a $20 billion budget deficit. Governor Schwarzenegger's budget plan will force 200,000 children off low-cost medical insurance, will end home care for more than 300,000 sick and elderly citizens, and will cut income assistance to hundreds of thousands more.
This nation is hurting, but Nancy Pelosi can use three military jets for a December trip to Copenhagen, and then refuse to answer any questions about it." - Jack Cafferty, CNN (Jan 12)
I do not believe it is too much to ask that our leaders be able to walk the walk, as well as, talk the talk.
Again, with their judgement & priorities frighteningly out of sync with voters, are they really the right people for the job?

Democrats & Racial Hypocrisy
There are some Republicans who hold racist viewpoints.
There are some Democrats who hold these very same racist views.
I am free of such a burden. I am fortunate to be young enough to have been raised more in an era where a man is judged by his actions & deeds.
My only reason for bringing up racial feelings is what I believe to be a glaring double-standard on the subject.
Several years ago, then-GOP Senate-Majority Leader, Trent Lott was forced to give up his leadership post after commenting at Strom Thurmond's birthday celebration that things might have been different if the old segregationist had won the presidency in '48.
Some may disagree with me on this, but his observation was correct, things would have been different.
The difference would not have been for the better, but for the worse.
How would a majority-Christian nation condone such disdain for his fellow man?
There may be some behaviors in some people we may not like, and we may chose to avoid them for that reason. We are certainly smart enough not to be sucked into avoiding someone based on the color of their skin.
Yet to hear the liberals speak; all Republicans hold such views.
The liberals will tell you that, yes some racists were Democrats, but after the Civil Rights passage, they left the Democratic fold and joined forces with the GOP.
The Democrats are quick to jump and shout if a member of the GOP makes a racially insensitive remark.
In typical knee-jerk reaction they call for the offenders resignation. Many times this reaction is justified as there is no more room in the US for a person holding such feelings to participate in the public discourse.
It is quite telling when a party points to insensitive remarks of the other party's leader making such remarks, and your own party has made a former member of the KKK the leader of your own party. I am speaking of Robert Byrd, D-WV.
The Democrats elected Byrd to lead their senate efforts after it was known he was a former Grand Wizard of the KKK.
Can you imagine the outcry if the GOP had done this?
With that said, I would like to get to the crux of my point.
I find it totally hypocritical for the Democrats to point to the GOP as a party of racists (when we know that is not true), when their own leaders get caught espousing the very same racist feelings.
There is a new book out called 'Game Changer'.
This book is bound to set Washington on its head.
The book quotes contemporary politicians making racially insensitive remarks.
Were it not for the blatant hypocrisy coming from the left on this issue, I would not bring it up.
In the book, Democratic Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid is quoted as buttressing his support of the Obama candidacy by claiming that Obama is a "light skinned" and does not have a "negro-dialect" unless he wants to.
What are we to make of such a statement?
In 2008, did Harry Reid still feel the need to justify his support for an African-American? Did he need to point out that Obama was "light skinned" and had no "negro-dialect"?
What message was Reid trying to convey?
Would Reid not have supported Obama if he was dark skinned or spoke in stereotype slang?
All weekend the liberals have taken to the television airwaves defending Reid for comments that they would have ran a member of the GOP out of town for making.
What they are ignoring in their rush to circle the wagons, is that Reid made these comments in private believing they would not go beyond their intended audience.
What is alarming about this is that they show the mindset of the Democrats chosen leader in the US Senate.
Reid really thinks this way................and the Democrats are attempting to defend him.
The book serves to reinforce a perception whose groundwork was laid during the campaign by who many believed and touted as the first African-American President, Bill Clinton.
During the campaign, Bill Clinton raised the ire of the black community for his comments about how the Obama campaign was merely a "fantasy", and dismissively pointed out that Jesse Jackson had also won the South Carolina primary when Jackson ran for the nomination.
Now the book brings up a conversation that Bill Clinton had with then-Senator, Ted Kennedy when trying to get Kennedy's endorsement for Hillary's campaign.
Bill Clinton was attempting to belittle the Obama candidacy as nonsensical.
Clinton told Kennedy, "a few years ago, this guy would have been serving us coffee", meaning that Obama was only a few short years beyond being able to merely serve coffee to the Democratic stalwarts, much less actually being worthy of serving as President.
Again in this exchange, Bill Clinton tipped his hand to his inner way of thinking.
Similar to people who have been drinking, many are less inhibited in their speech when they believe they are in a private conversation.
Kennedy was angry with this comment from Clinton.
The Massachusetts Lion of the Senate came out and endorsed Obama over Clinton's private objections.
While Harry Reid has apologized for getting caught airing his true beliefs, Clinton has not as of yet.
Before applauding Reid for his apology, put into context. It took the publishing of a book and passage of two years beofre that apology was forthcoming.
Sunlight truly is the best disinfectant.
Had either of these two men been members of the GOP, we would have experienced a weekend of GOP-bashing more intense than that given the Democrats.
Racism comes in all shapes, colors, sizes, and political parties.
While I believe racism is a dying belief, there are obviously still remnants of bygone days.
The hypocrisy on this issue from the Democrats is so transparent and obvious, it will be a long time before the left dares to rear its ugly head on this.
Each time they do, we will have these quotes and the pictures of Bob Byrd in his KKK robes ready to trot out for all to see.

85,000 MORE JOBS LOST; Obama's priorities & Judgement called into question
Leading up to the release of the December unemployment numbers the administration said they expected to lose 8,000 jobs, despite retailers adding Christmas help.
The US usually experiences an uptick in employment during the busy holiday season.
Obama actually lost 10 X their estimate for a loss of 85,000 jobs.
Unemployment did remain at 10%, a full 2% higher than Obama promised after receiving his “stimulus”.
The reason the unemployment percent did not go up was because more people lost their benefits during December and are no longer included in the unemployment figures. Those no longer being counted are still just as unemployed, but now have no income.
How can this White House be so wrong on so many issues affecting American voters such as jobs and national security?
Why did Obama sit back & watch unemployment rise for nearly a year before holding a “jobs summit” in December?
Instead of focusing on jobs & national security, Obama chose to address health care & global warming.
Folks, we had a terrorist shoot our military recruiters in Little Rock, Arkansas, another terrorist went on a shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas, and yet another attempted to blow up a planeload of people flying into Detroit on Christmas Day.
The liberals claim Obama is a “certified intellectual”. I am not sure of their criteria for such a dubious claim, but they may want to revise their standards. For those who have no job or rely on the administration to protect them as they fly; they may have a different evaluation of his intellectual prowess.
Many are justified in questioning Obama’s judgement & priorities.
How does a president come to the conclusion that the country needs him to address health care & global warming, while he sits back and ignores unemployment & national security?
I heard the liberals state that Obama was following Bush’s national security policies and therefore it was Bush’s fault.
Excuse me, but if this guy is so smart, and Bush was believed to be so dumb, why didn’t he review the Bush policies and update them when he came into office?
If you think you are a “certified intellectual”, why would you follow the same policies of someone you think is not as smart as you?
Obama is simply not as smart as advertised.
Folks, to put it another way: ‘the Emperor has no clothes’!!
