Feds push for tracking cell phones | Politics and Law - CNET News

More and more privacy disappearing.  Obama says we have no expectation of privacy when using our cell phones.  I wonder if he feels the same about his expectation of privacy.

China PLA officers urge economic punch against U.S. | Reuters.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Senior Chinese military officers have proposed that their country boost defense spending, adjust PLA deployments, and possibly sell some U.S. bonds to punish Washington for its latest round of arms sales to Taiwan.

Oh, but there’s no such thing as too much spending.  What could possibly happen? It’s not like some foreign power could have any influence over us just because we owe them billions of dollars!

On the way home from work today I was listening to Foxnews on XM and Beck played a part of one of Obama’s speeches.  He was talking about his desire and plan to fundamentally change America.  Now I know what I think he means by that and I really don’t like losing more freedom, and income, because of his wishes.  He really doesn’t get it just as the rest of the so called progressives don’t.  We need a fundamental change in leadership and more importantly a fundamental change in politics in America.

Sorry, Mr. President, there’s nothing wrong with the country.  It’s guys like you who spout off about how we dumb Americans just don’t get understand your brand of socialism that are the problem.  I’ll have to agree that far too many Americans don’t know their left from their right and their rights from their protections.  The problem is that many of us do understand the problem and are becoming more vocal as you, Mr. President, take more and more freedom along with more and more money from individuals.  The fundamental problem for you is that far to many of us do get it for you and your kind to be happy.

While I don’t agree with Objectivism as Ayn Rand does, I do believe that the basic premise of “Atlas Shrugged” is based on sound principles.  When you remove the incentive for producers to produce, they will stop producing.  History proves it over and over again.  If you haven’t read “Atlas Shrugged“, you should.  It’s very long but very well worth the time it takes to read it.

Justice Dept.: President Obama’s administration may take action on BCS - NCAA Football - SI.com.

The BCS sucks, but not nearly as bad as a president who thinks it’s his place have everything in the country run to his personal satisfaction.  Obama is GREATLY over reaching his place once again.  It’s like he said a while back, having this much power really can go to your head and it obviously has with him.

There’ll be nowhere to run from the new world government

Navy SEALs Face Assault Charges for Capturing Most-Wanted Terrorist - Iraq

Charging these men is a disgrace and a crime in itself!  President Obama, show some integrity and some balls!  Stop this atrocity in its tracks before it’s too late!

Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq — the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004. And three of the SEALs who captured him are now facing criminal charges, sources told FoxNews.com.

White House aides: No Afghan decision before Thanksgiving.

Arrogance shining through!

Obama arrived on the base 3:19 p.m. local time (1 a.m. Eastern Standard Time) and received a rousing welcome from 1,500 troops in camouflage uniforms, many holding cameras or pointing cell phones to snap pictures.

“You guys make a pretty good photo op,” the president said.

Standing on a riser wearing a blue suit and red tie, with a cluster of troops and a large American flag behind him, Obama expressed “the gratitude of the American public” and said his meetings in four countries over eight days in Asia will help deliver a “safer, more prosperous world for all of us.”

He got a huge cheer when he told them he was increasing military pay. “That’s what you call an applause line,” he said, before boarding his jet and taking off at 4:11 p.m.

The new wave of female firebrands striking fear into liberal America | World news | The Observer.

While Michele Bachmann may bring conservatives together and raise liberal blood pressure to the popping point, her brand of politics is sure to cost Republicans yet another presidential election if she’s the nominee.

With so much information out there about her, there’s no real way that she can paint herself as enough of a moderate to get elected.  Like it or not,  moderate candidates almost always win the presidency.  Obama is, of course, a far left liberal but he was able to get elected in no small part by people who want to feel like they aren’t racist by voting for him.  Like it or not, it’s true.  Now we are getting glimpses of his extremism but since his party has full control there’s nothing we can do but hope that we aren’t so socialized by the time they lose full power that we can’t get our freedom back.

I don’t hold out much  hope for that being the case, personally.

It’s impossible to express how thankful I am for American Veterans.  I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the life that I have without their sacrifice in service to the United States.  All that I can say is thank you and may God Bless you and your family for what you are doing and for what you have already done.

The demise of the dollar - Business News, Business - The Independent.

Friends, eh?

In the most profound financial change in recent Middle East history, Gulf Arabs are planning – along with China, Russia, Japan and France – to end dollar dealings for oil, moving instead to a basket of currencies including the Japanese yen and Chinese yuan, the euro, gold and a new, unified currency planned for nations in the Gulf Co-operation Council, including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Qatar.

Secret meetings have already been held by finance ministers and central bank governors in Russia, China, Japan and Brazil to work on the scheme, which will mean that oil will no longer be priced in dollars.

The plans, confirmed to The Independent by both Gulf Arab and Chinese banking sources in Hong Kong, may help to explain the sudden rise in gold prices, but it also augurs an extraordinary transition from dollar markets within nine years.
