Pink Obama Bundler's Secret Meeting With the Taliban

There are times when I read or hear the news that I just want to pinch myself to see if I'm having a really really bad dream. Since Obama was elected it seems like the need to click my ruby slippers and return "home" is a daily event.

For instance, Code Pink founder Jodie Evans recently made a little trip to Afghanistan as part of Code Pink's "No terrorist left behind" program. The "girls" posted blurbs about their trip over at the Code Pink site and various lefty blogs. But it seems like they left out one little tidbit about the trip. And who spills the beans but the traitor Jane Fonda (birds of a feather). Here's the info courtesy of BigGovernment.com


Top Obama donor and fundraiser Jodie Evans met with the Taliban in Afghanistan on a recent trip there, according to a report by Jane Fonda of a discussion she had with Evans last month. The meeting with the Taliban took place just weeks before Evans was videotaped directly handing to President Barack Obama a package of information about her trip to Afghanistan at a high dollar fundraiser in San Francisco...

The meeting with the Taliban was kept secret by Evans and her group Code Pink in reports she and the group posted from Kabul and in interviews with the media and bloggers about the trip. Fonda, a close friend of Evans, let the secret meeting slip in an account of her dinner with Evans at a fundraiser for the Armand Hammer Museum in Los Angeles:

Last Saturday, My dear friends Jodie Evans and Max Palevsky, invited Richard and me to join them at their table at a fundraiser at the Armand Hammer Museum in Westwood. It was a good evening for lots of reasons. I had never been to the museum and definitely want to go back. Clearly it is a courageous place, very cutting edge. Then, too, I saw lots of friends I hadn’t seen in a long time and I sat next to Jodie who told me a little about her recent trip to Afghanistan with an American delegation that included a retired colonel, and member the State Department (Army Reserves Col. (Ret.) and ex-diplomat Ann Wright). While there, she met with people ranging from the brother of President Karzai, Afghan members of Parliament, activists, to warlords and members of the Taliban (emphasis added.) Jodie is co-founder of the peace organization, Code Pink, and always willing to go to any lengths to try and find out what’s really going on. Bottom line: everyone she met with wants the U.S. Military out of their country. They feel our presence there has brought more violence rather than security. Please read a short article she wrote about the trip which is on the Women’s Media Center website.

Here's a video of Jodie and Obama yucking it up at the fundraiser....

And what exactly was in that packet that Jodie handed over to the President at the mega dollar fundraiser? Could it have been some little message from the Taliban? Who knows - but it's digusting to see Obama cozying up with the Treasonous Pink Bitch.

Obama Uses Ft. Hood Terror Attack to Rally Dems Vote on Healthcare

Couple this with Obama's initial response to the Ft. Hood mass murder and it just makes my skin crawl (emphasis mine) ...

Debate on the House floor had already begun when Obama strode into a closed-door meeting of the Democratic rank and file across the street from the Capitol to make a final personal appeal to them to pass his top domestic priority... Participants also said Obama had referred to this week's shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in which 13 people were killed. His remarks put in perspective that the hardships soldiers endure for the country are "what sacrifice really is," as opposed to "casting a vote that might lose an election for you," said Rep. Robert Andrews, D-N.J.

Now compare our current President's behavior to those of our former President...

Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura secretly visited Fort Hood last night and spent "considerable time" consoling those who were wounded in Thursday's shooting spree, Fox News has learned.

The Bushes entered and departed the sprawling military facility in secret, having told the base commander they did not want press coverage of their visit, a source told Fox News.

We've got the Marxist in chief telling us to not jump to conclusions about a Muslim soldier going on a rampage and killing 13 people (actually should be 14 since one of the victims was pregnant)at Ft Hood then using the same incident to promote his comrades' socialist takeover of healthcare.

Obama is still dithering on how many troops (if any) to send to Afghanistan in response to Gen. McChrystal's request while American blood is still being shed. Then goes to Dover for a photo-op with heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice with a half-assed salute that is more of an insult than a tribute.


WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE??

But don't worry - Obama will be at the Memorial Service for the Ft. Hood victims and the teleprompter in chief will make sure he doesn't give any shout-outs before his memorial speech.

It's a wonder that Obama isn't struck by lightning every time he mentions his "compassion" and "gratitude" for the members of our Military. Heck, it's a wonder Obama isn't struck by lightning every time he opens his mouth since nothing but lies come out of that velvet throated maw.

Sigh... This Hope and Change Thing is destroying our country.

Now About Those Flu Numbers....

I've heard several people call in to radio shows over the past week telling stories about hospitals and MD offices reporting all flu as H1N1. I thought it was just a matter of a failure in communication - until I read the CDC's reports about how they are monitoring influenza activity...

From the CDC's website - Monitoring Influenza Activity, Including 2009 H1N1 - Q & A dated 9/11/09 (emphasis mine)...
"This season, CDC and states will continue surveillance for flu-related hospitalizations and deaths, but the system has been modified to combine all influenza and pneumonia-associated hospitalizations and deaths and not just those due to H1N1. This is a new system in place effective August 30, 2009, that will be used to monitor trends in hospitalizations and deaths. CDC believes this system will provid a fuller picture of the burden of serious flu illness and deaths during this pandemic."

Hmmm - provide a fuller picture? Like maybe having the numbers thrown into one big pot and then reporting them as H1N1 to increase the fear factor?

Thinking that maybe this little blurb was just a "lack of clear communication" I kept reading the report. Here's a synopsis of the reasons for the CDC's change in reporting... (emphasis mine)

"CDC believes that regular seasonal influenza viruses will co-circulae with 2009 H1N1 influenza... There are too many cases of flu to test and confirm so laboratory-confirmed data is a vast underestimate of the true number of cases and this bias would be exacerbated over the course of the pandemic as more and more people become ill...Influenza and pneumonia syndrome is a diagnostic code used by all hospitals."

My summary - too many cases to test individually so let's just lump all flu related symptoms and illnesses together so the numbers justify the administration's claims of a national emergency. How better to attempt to sucker koolaid sippers into supporting Obamacare?

Interesting little tidbit tossed in there about "diagnostic codes". Diagnosis codes are used to bill for medical care. There must be a diagnosis code on every single bill submitted to insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. These codes may or may not be specifically assigned by a MD. Most of the time a MD gives a general description and a certified coder determines the right 3 to 5 digit number to use. How many times have you been to the doctor with fever, aches and sore throat only to be told you have the "flu" without any specific test? The diagnosis code used to bill for the visit would be for Influenza. If you were so ill that you required hospitalization, the MD office would notify the hospital that your reason for admission is "influenza". You would then become one of the CDC's statistics for reporting purposes of hospitalized influenza cases.

Even if you were hospitalized for dehydration due to fever and nausea/vomiting, if the MD said it was because of the "flu", you would still be one of those cases reported to the CDC. There is no testing required to become a statistic for the CDC - only a 3-5 digit diagnosis code.

Here's how the CDC puts it... (emphasis mine)
"The CDC has asked states to report either laboratory confirmed hospitalizations and deaths or syndromic cases, i.e. cases of presumed influenza and/or pneumonia based on ICD-9 coded hospitalizations or death reports."


Multiple times in this same CDC document, you can read this statement...
"Due to CDC's new case definitions, there will be no definitive way to differentiate between hospitalizations and deaths due to seaonal influenza versus those due to 2009 H1N1 influenza from aggregate reporting. And some deaths that are not due to influenza specifically will be included."

Next time you hear a TV anchor claim "Deaths due to H1N1 are rising according to the CDC" take the report with a grain of salt. Better yet, add a little tequila and margarita mix to the salt and re-read the CDC's guidelines for reporting.

But don't worry if those statistics used to scare you into standing in line for 2 hours to get a Swine Flu vaccine seem over the top - the CDC promises that "the numbers generated by this system will be cross-checked periodically against modeling studies to estimate accuracy".

WHEW - I feel better now, don't you?

Cheney Exposes Obama Administration Liars

I love Dick Cheney. He pulls no punches and lets everyone know what he's thinking and believes. Cheney has now exposed the lies from the Obama Administration regarding the Afghanistan mess...

Cheney disputed remarks by White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel that the Bush administration had been adrift concerning the war in Afghanistan and that the Obama administration had to start from the beginning to develop a strategy for the 8-year-old war.

To the contrary, Cheney said, the Bush administration undertook its own review of the war before leaving office and presented its findings to Obama's transition team.

"They asked us not to announce our findings publicly, and we agreed, giving them the benefit of our work and the benefit of the doubt," Cheney said. The strategy Obama announced in March bore a "striking resemblance" to what the Bush administration review had found, the vice president said.

Emanuel told CNN on Sunday that the decision regarding what to do in Afghanistan is more complex than whether to send more troops. The U.S. commander there, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, has reportedly asked for as many as 40,000 additional troops to combat the Taliban insurgency and al-Qaida fighters.

"When you go through all the analysis, it's clear that basically we had a war for eight years that was going on, that's adrift, that we're beginning at scratch, and just from the starting point, after eight years," Emanuel said.

Cheney said the Obama administration seems to be pulling back and blaming others for its own failure to implement the strategy it had embraced earlier in the year.

"The White House must stop dithering while America's armed forces are in danger," the former vice president said. "It's time for President Obama to do what it takes to win a war he has repeatedly and rightly called a war of necessity."


Of course the media will downplay this (if they even report this at all) because it might make Dear Leader angry.

While Obama twiddles his thumbs, our military heroes are fighting in a war. While Obama visits an elementary school and attends $20,000/plate fundraisers, our military heroes are taking it to the Taliban. While Michelle participates in hula-hoop contests while wearing the dreaded "boob belt", we have military heroes dying while doing their job.

All because Obama's favorite for President of Afghanistan didn't win the election, despite Carville's expert assistance. The blood of every military hero that has died since McChrystal's report was issued is on Obama's hands. Let's see if CodePink and their ilk protest this...

Obama Wins The Nobel Peace Prize?!?

This was my first reaction when I logged onto the computer this AM and saw the headline...

If our country was not going down the toilet, this would have actually been funny. As it is, it just makes me retch.

Israeli PM Lays It All on the Line at the UN - Positively Churchillian

Unfortunately I didn't get to see the speech live but just watching the videos gives me the chills. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu literally called the UN out for the lying hypocrites they are but did so in a respectful statesmanlike manner - unlike the raving lunatics Gaddafi and Allmyjihad. This is one UN Speech that will go down in history. Video is in 4 parts and I HIGHLY recommend watching the whole series...









Oh if only OUR President had taken this same attitude when speaking on Wed instead of prostrating himself on the altar of the UN while nutjob dictators dropped trou for the President to kiss their ass.

For a different presentation of the speech, you must go read Cinnamon Girl's post over at FreeRepublic. She has posted the historically timely pictures to go along with the words. Beautiful!!

Damn Right I Miss Him!

Welcome to Obama-Land

In Obama land up is down and down is up. Case in point his speech today at the United Nations.

In Obama-land, praise from Castro goes into the plus column. Having Muammar Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi endorse you for President for Life of the United States something to hang your hat on

In Obama-land, the Israelis are the bad guys and Hamas/Hezbollah are the victims. The Israelis are “Occupiers” and are to blame for the 100’s of rockets fired into their cities.

In Obama-land, the United States is not a world leader and is no longer considered a “super-power”. All the blood, sweat and tears shed by our countrymen in the cause of freedom are something to be ashamed of and to apologize for.

In Obama-land we are torturers and warmongers. We are the imposers of democracy instead of respecting other countries.

In Obama-land we no longer have nuclear weapons but regimes, such as Iran, can keep their nukes if they will just sit down and talk to us.

In Obama-land it is okay to turn against our allies and fall at the feet of Russia.

I thought that Bill Clinton was an embarrassment after the Lewinsky incident but Obama has just taken the lead on my embarrassment scorecard and is in a tie with Jimmy Carter.

Today Obama proved that he IS Reverend Wright – just without the curse words and with lots more arrogance.

It's All About "Industrial Transformation"

Everyone has been trying to figure out how all the pieces of legislation and action taken by the Obama Administration fit together. While doing some research tonight, I came across an article from January 2006 that clears away most of the fog and literally scares the hell out of me.

Remember the Apollo Alliance? Yes the group that Harry Reid credited with helping to develop the stimulus bill. According to the article “Apollo Now”, the stimulus bill has been in the works since January 2006. Using the levee failure as a metaphor for all that was “failing” in America; the Apollo Alliance unveiled a plan to “move the country in a new direction – to inspire a generational shift in thinking that could launch a new era of fundamental reforms.” Sounds a lot like Obama’s “remaking America idea”, huh?

It gets worse. The article states that in order to transform the American industrial system and mass consumption economy, the “collision between industrial society and nature” must be eliminated. How do they plan on eliminating this blockage? By reinventing the processes of production and redesigning virtually every product. It’s called “Industrial Transformation”. All this global warming, green jobs, renewable energy hoopla is nothing more than a smokescreen for the progressives. This is the one way they can take over the Industrial sector of the USA and claim it was to “save the planet”.

How does the Apollo Alliance plan on getting the country to make this shift without kicking and screaming? By “fusing the ecological imperative with economic outcomes” – hence the Stimulus Bill.

Remember how we were all perplexed about all of the “green initiatives” in the Stimulus Bill? How we scratched our heads at the focus on infrastructure and alternative modes of transportation, like high speed rail? Look no further than this article…

“…the Apollo proposal calls for a ten year, $300 billion investment agenda – federal financing to foster development of alternative fuels, innovative eco firms and energy-conserving reforms in housing, green building codes, transportation and other realms. These investments, analysts estimate, would generate 3.3 million new jobs”

I imagine it is just a coincidence that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act promised to “save or create 3.5 million jobs”. And it certainly doesn’t mean anything when the ARRA put forward a huge chunk ($41,400,000,000) towards “energy”.

There were other ideas thrown into the mix including modernizing the electrical grid, high-efficiency vehicles, rapid transit and regional rail networks. You get the picture. But there was one other little piece of the plan that made goose bumps pop up on my arms – “the investments would be accompanied by STRONGER REGULATORY PROTECTIONS to make sure the subsidies produce real results.” Can anyone say Cass Sunstein???

The Apollo Alliance envisions the US adopting a “take back” policy on the order of the EU’s policy initiative. European auto manufacturers would be required to “take back” their old vehicles and recover 85% of the content, reformulating the materials for use in new cars and other products. This is where the takeover of the automobile industry fits into the puzzle. By owning the companies, the government can ensure that the “take back” policy is enforced. Could it be that “Cash for Clunkers” was a precursor to our own “take back” policy?

And how about all those campaigns against “big corporations” to adopt higher ecological standards in their products and business? A baby step toward “industrial transformation”.

How can this transformation take hold especially with the Unions? Oh have no fear; the Apollo Alliance has already covered that. This plan “removed the wedge between environmentalists and labor unions by focusing on the job-creating aspects of a clean-energy investment policy.” Remember – it’s all in the words. Plus it doesn’t hurt that several Union leaders serve on the board of the Apollo Alliance.

Head spinning yet? Read the whole article for yourself. It will be like a punch in the gut. The good news is that we now see the bigger picture – maybe not the whole picture but a lot less fog than earlier.

At least we can thank Van Jones for bringing the Apollo Alliance to the front of our radar. And the Tides Foundation for saving this important little article on their website.

I Guess I Am A Racist

According to Jimmy Carter, Maxine Waters and an assortment of talking heads & "progressives", if you oppose President Obama you are a racist. I have never thought of myself as a racist before - I don't look at people's skin color as an indication of what type of person they are. I prefer to judge people by their words and their actions. But all this talk of dissent being racist has made me rethink my feelings...

I vehemently oppose any public option health care or any other type of government intrusion into my medical care. I guess that makes me a racist.

Using my tax money to pay for an abortion is abhorrent to me. Call me a racist.

I think the government needs to stay the heck out of the car business, the bank business and the student loan business. Add another point for my racist attitude.

I have been a nurse for 28 years and have worked very hard to get where I am today. I don't want my money to subsidize others who prefer to sit on their butts and wait for a handout. Oops - racist again.

I love my country and believe that our Constitution is the bedrock of our nation. I will fight with my last breath to defend the Constitution and all that it stands for. I guess I am a racist.

I believe in capitalism and letting the free market work. I believe that socialism, communism or any other "-ism" the progressives choose to throw out there are a direct violation of our Constitution and will have our founding fathers spinning in their graves. Chalk up another racist violation for me.

I believe that sitting in a church listening to a "preacher" denigrate the USA and "white" Americans or paling around with someone who thought bombing the Pentagon was a good idea is evidence of the kind of person you truly are in your heart. Well.... call me a racist.

I shun any attempt at politically correct speech including the banning of the words "liar", "sexual misconduct", etc on the House Floor and believe it is another attempt to stifle Free Speech and dissent. Another racist belief...

I want my children, my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, et. al to grow up enjoying all the freedoms that come with being an American and not having to work until they are 92 to pay off our tax debt. Yep - that's racist.

So go ahead Maxine and Jimmy - call me a racist and have me investigated for my "fringe" beliefs. I am not afraid of you or your brownshirted thugs welding batons in front of polling places. If it means that I operate on a different level of morals and values from you then I take it as a compliment.
