we celebrate yet again our independence as a nation on july 4, 2009.
"we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.--"
these words were a clarion call, celestial in origin & appeal, when they first rang out, and since that time have served as the basis of dream & aspiration for countless people all over the world, yearning to be free. these simple words, these truths, shape the aspirations of many the world over, and serve as a beacon to those who would follow the traditions of our freedoms and heritage.
the iranian people even now seek to give the words substance and form, to make them corporeal, to live by them, in their native land, and to free themselves from the tyranny and constraints of a cruel theocracy. i would bet you dollars to donuts that there are few people in the streets who do not know these words, who are not inspired by them, and who do not admire this country. and, there are few of them not willing to die in order to achieve these ideals.
the 4th of july is a reminder of the sacrifice and want suffered by our forefathers (and, yes, foremothers) in bringing forth this land, in creating a nations whose example has served as the wellspring of similar sacrifice and advancement of the human condition, the world over.
b. hussein obama has instructed various diplomatic missions, via state department directives, that iranians delegations will be welcome to attend parties celebrating the 4th of july at u.s. diplomatic missions. no, those iranians in attendance will not be the demonstrators who sacrifice and die at the hands of the regime's thugs, or who attempt to make the exercise of rights we consider inherent in each person a reality in iran, ... , he has directed that our diplomatic missions receive the regime's thugs, those murdering bastards who shoot little girls down in the streets, those murdering bastards who import hamas and abbas to murder their citizens, those murdering bastards who propose to annihilate israel with nuclear weapons, ... , he invites those murdering bastard thugs to our embassies to celebrate our independence day. he invites those murdering bastards who are inimically opposed to every truth advanced by jefferson in the declaration of independence.
need i remind you that american embassies are considered american soil under international law, and that when the state department invites iranian diplomats to a party celebrating the 4th of july, they are inviting the iranians onto american soil. i think that a travesty, under the current situation. the iranians should be conferred no such legitimacy.
obama desecrates all that is politically holy in our traditions, our heritage, our belief in doing so. he makes a mockery of our sacrifice to obtain and maintain our freedoms, and he makes a mockery of the ultimate sacrifice of those who died on foreign shores to bring those freedoms to others, and he makes a mockery of the death of neda agha soltan, murdered, filmed dying in the streets of teheran, felled by a sniper's bullet as she stood talking to her father.
of all days, he does this on the 4th of july, ... , only have those murderous bastards over on christmas could be more of an affront to the people of this country.
i say impeach b. hussein obama, for this effrontery, for this mockery, for this debasement of the meaning of our heritage and freedoms, for this debasement of the ideals which made this country, and which inflame the hearts of those seeking freedom the world over to this day.
obama is not president. he is pretender, an impostor, a chimera and shadow of a man, empty of understanding and devoid of belief and ethics. he has no sense of what it means to be american, because in all probability, he is not.
we should impeach him now. without delay, before he does us irreparable harm.

we learn today that the state department/resident obama have "rescinded" the invites to the 4th of july parties. well, well, well, ... , as my mother would say, what are we to make of that? is this some belated indication that resident obama has some spine, maybe even is taking a principled stance of things.
hardly.
the invites were "rescinded" only after the iranians accepted none of the invites. obama has now demonstrated his lack of courage by extending the invites and keeping them open during brutal suppression of this popular revolt, but he has also demonstrated his calculated, venal posturing after the iranians snubbed his dumb ass: he is concerned only with image, and apparently not once during the course of this revolt and it brutal suppression has he acted on anything remotely approaching principle, or american ideals. "rescinding" the invites at this is, ... , well, entirely pointless.
i will remind you. he has yet to endorse or encourage the brave struggle of the iranians to overthrow the theocracy. he has yet to condemn the theocracy for its murderous brutality. he has yet to comment on the fact that the theocracy has brought in its henchmen from hamas and hezbollah, to kill iranian citizens.
obama want to engage? my ass. obama want to further the interests of theocratic islam and sharia, an attitude entirely consistent with his early religious training and upbringing. not only is obama not liberal, but he is a fundamentalist muslim, ... , and i trust this is beginning to become clearer to the american people. if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and spews duck poop like a duck, ... , it is a duck.
From your lips, to G*d's ears.

I got two comments in the last twelve months (maybe?). One, from a libwuhl, single word: trash (regards a post). Proud I was of that. Glad to give a smile, Sir. Indeed.

He has violated the US Constitution re separation of powers, states’ rights, religious preferences afforded some, placed the interests of other countries ahead of our own, and weakened us at every turn. The "Stimulus," Czars usurping process, Firing an Inspector General, Pressuring the Supreme Court, an Apologist for Islam, Bowing and Kowtowing to Islamic “leaders” (read tyrants), Being Soft on Iran, Crippling our Energy Supply… Inexperience, Platitudes and Fantasies. We are heading toward Marxism or dictatorship (where Nobama, The One = executive, legislative and judicial). He insults the spirit of our founding documents, the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. He is hostile to nearly 50% of the nation that did not elect him and is now raising concerns of every American. This man should not be allowed to complete his term. Impeach. Convict. Evict.

PS - I like your name, John Jay. My copy of the Federalist Papers is usually close at hand.

p.s. that is my name. the "real" one, the one my mommy & daddy gave me. laughing.
i, too, keep the federalist papers close, as well as blackstone and locke, and if you will but peruse this blog (i wished i had it indexed properly), you will see i have recourse to publius quite often.
by the way, i love a remark from locke. when asked if he were brave or courageous to write the things he did, he replied, "i have been afraid my whole life." but, yet he wrote, compelled to do so. a brave man.

Sir, as usual you are spot on. I agree with you about Obama wholeheartedly. however the situation in Iran is something that few truly understand except the Iranians. Their legacy is that of a fiercely independent people and I am very much for them if they push this "revolution" long enough to actually overthrow the regime there. However alot of people here that are screaming to support them, are under the false imprssion that this is still about election fraud. The uprising has grown and turned towards removing the theocrartic state, however I am not sure of the true citizen support for it. But as we know, a determined minority can make a very real difference. I pray for them and hope the true spirit of the persian shines through and topples the Islamic Theocracy.

Its like he has been planted--put there to destroy us under the diguise of a "liberal"??? His college records? I bet they show he applied as an International student. He is going to try shut down Radio and all of our opposition to ABC. GE owns ABC-did you see the GE CEO bow to him?? OMG. As a woman veteran I am ashamed that people VOTED for this FAKE! Geez, they are sitting in our WHITE HOUSE-OMG it is sickening!!!! Just to see him speak--he doesn't support the US at all-he just sent $1B to HAMAS!!! And shut down 19 defense missles to ALASKA!

We need to come up with Articles of Impeachment that even this Congress will act on. I see all the actions taken that Civilus Defendus and Saxon cited as part of a long pattern of actions, all of which are designed to weaken the United States of America and aid its enemies. Aiding the countries enemies is one of the very definitions of Treason. We need to bring to the attention of all the Republicans and the "Blue Dog" Democrats, and other Democrats who are not hard-leftists the long train of abuses Obama has committed. If they cannot be persuaded to bring Articles of Impeachment at this time, perhaps they can be persuaded to subpoena Obama's records and finally determine once and for all if he is even eligible for office. If he is not eligible for office, declare every action he has taken null and void. I can't imagine that a President Biden could be any worse than what we have already seen from Obama. At least we know Biden is an American. In light of Obama's actions, Khadaffi's words referring to Obama as a "Muslim brother", along with other Muslim leaders, ring even more ominously.
