One of the most memorable scenes in “The Wizard of Oz” is when Toto yanks on the curtain to reveal the bogus wizard faking a larger-than-life image. In 2008, the media played the role of the curtain, shielding Barack Obama. Not enough Americans saw his thin resume, lifelong radical connections, sealed college records or brief U.S. Senate voting record, which the National Journal pegged to the left of socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, Vermont Democrat.

Michele Obama spends thousands and thousands of tax payer dollars to transport her, her family and entourage overseas for extravagant vacations.  She and hubby Dictator-in-Chief Obama fly to New York for romantic dinners--again on taxpayer money.  Obama golfs almost as much as he works on destroying the country.  Neither one of them listen to We-the-People--their bond servants who work to keep them in the lifestyle they have learned to enjoy.  They have decided that they are the US’ new royalty.  And if we don’t like it, they will hurt us even more.  They--our rulers--have spoken!

’There will be zero tolerance for this type of misinformation and unjustified rate increases.’ That sounds like a stern headmistress dressing down some sophomores who have been misbehaving. But it’s actually from a letter sent Thursday from Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to Karen Ignagni, president of America’s Health Insurance Plans—the chief lobbyist for private health insurance companies.

The United States has refused to join the United Nations Human Rights Council since it was birthed in 2006 following the dissolving of its failed predecessor, the U.N. Commission on Human Rights. The Obama Administration changed course in March 2009 and now, for the first time, has submitted a report on the status of human rights in the U.S. to the Council, setting up the country to be judged by governments like those of Cuba, China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar, Pakistan and Egypt.

In the past, if anyone asked whether the folks in charge in the nation’s capital were certifiable lunatics, or whether policy decisions were being made by superannuated college kids with no experience out in the real world, who apparently stayed up too late last night, smoking too much dope and listening to too much heavy metal, those questions could be safely dismissed as exaggerations for rhetorical effect.

In a move that should shock and anger clear-thinking Americans, the United States Navy named one of its new ships in honor of one of the most corrupt political leaders to ever sit in the U.S. Congress.

Who knew that Obamacare provides for a “Regular Corps” and a “Ready-Reserve Corps” of officers and individuals who are appointed by the president? Commissioned officers are subject to active duty at the call of the surgeon general. The new law provides $17.5 million in each of the first four years to recruit and train these reserves.

Synopsis: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, by granting California a waiver to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles, declaring greenhouse gas emissions a danger to public health and welfare, and pulling its punches in the Massachusetts v. EPA Supreme Court case, has positioned itself to regulate fuel economy, set climate and energy policy for the nation, and amend the Clean Air Act - powers never delegated to EPA by Congress. It is time to rein in this rogue agency. The Congressional Review Act Resolution of Disapproval introduced by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) is the way to do it.

...With the election of Barack Obama and his gang of political henchmen in the White House, aided and abetted by the likes of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and their acolytes in Congress, it is difficult, if not impossible at this point, for anyone who disagrees with their socialist/Marxist philosophy to even have their voices heard. 

Quiet words from Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on 3/5, directly indicated a new three-year ban, at least in offshore oil drilling leases. Pure facts dictate this move will kill any American initiative to produce all of its oil independently. More than 2/3 of the American public supports such a move per a Rasmussen poll. It is unknown why the Obama Administration would make such a virulent move, and not allow America to become more oil-independent in a time of major global political upheaval.

President Obama snubbed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in several ways during his visit to Washington this week.

Socialism strives to make everybody equally impoverished rather than pulling the poor out of poverty.

Barack Obama asked the Dem’s to help him save his Presidency by voting for his healthcare bill. Really! Is there an impeachment underway? America will be far too busy trying to save the country from bankruptcy to worry about Obama’s next two years in office. With amnesty looming on the horizon isn’t it more about prepping voters for his second term come 2012?

Americans have dealt with the arrogance of power before.  From 1756 through 1763 a world war ravaged the globe from India to Europe and from the farthest reaches of the Pacific Ocean to the deepest woods of Ohio.  England and France fought to see who would become the greatest colonial power.

Sunday’s apparent unconstitutional ram-through of ObamaCare--against the will of the now vast majority of the governed (that’s We-the-People)--was a milestone for the raging and out of control Marxist Obama government.  As plainly and succinctly as the Marxist Democrats have ever spoken, they have now essentially said:  “We’re in charge of the country, now--not the people.  We’ll do what we please and when we please with our power.  If they don’t like it, we have ways to correct and silence them.  So they had better get with our program--or else.” As quickly as is possible, Obama and Co is forcing one piece of anti-American and anti-human legislation after another down our now continually choking throats.  After almost destroying and stealing our banks and auto industry--then controlling who receives and does not receive life-giving water--The Obama and his Democrat minions have now wrestled and requisitioned a full 1/6 of the US economy from its rightful owners the American people.  But, thus far, no one is stopping them.
