President Obama on Saturday revealed a chilling glimpse of a new national security doctrine that sounds very much like echoes from the past. In a commencement speech to the graduating class at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the president outlined his departure from “American internationalism." Instead, Obama pledged more of his soft apologetic rhetoric to gain favor and likeability in the world in order to shape a new "international order" (liberal socialist translation “New World Order”) based on apologies, meekness and boot licking. (Feeling a chill or tingle yet?)

Fannie and Freddie's House of Horror
By: Peter Eavis
Wall Street Journal, 6/17/2010 -- Does Frankenstein's monster always have to be a monster?
Mortgage firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac grew into terrifying creatures because they are private companies with a government backstop. That has already cost taxpayers over $100 billion. Wednesday's announcement that their bombed-out shares are being delisted from the New York Stock Exchange is a reminder of how badly the public-private model worked. Unfortunately, most housing-finance overhaul plans floated assume this hybrid approach will continue.
Most reformers want entities that continue most of what Fannie and Freddie do-- buy mortgages from banks and package them into bonds to sell in the market. The key change reformers advocate is removing government backing for the entities. They want a government guarantee on the bonds issued by these entities.
Granted, that approach substantially limits the degree to which the Frannie-replacements benefit from the government intervention. But the danger is that the government, in its desire to support housing, underprices the guarantee, leaving taxpayers again exposed to potential losses.
People want government intervention in the belief the mortgage market needs support during economic slowdowns. But promising that support likely will hinder changes that could make the mortgage market more resilient. If the government withdrew, banks would design mortgages they would want to hold through an economic cycle. Right now, they would rather sell their new mortgages to Fannie and Freddie.
A more radical shake-up is needed to avoid another housing horror story.

Conservatives Rallying To Chuck DeVore in California Senate Race - HUMAN EVENTS
The Orange County native has been active in conservative causes and campaigns since he was a teenager and, quite often as an adult, leading them. After stints in the Pentagon under Ronald Reagan and later on the staff of former Rep. Christopher Cox (R.-Calif.), he spent several years working for a defense contractor in Orange County.
Two years ago, DeVore, a frequent contributor to HUMAN EVENTS, was seeking a conservative candidate and became the first California Republican office-holder to back Fred Thompson for President. Now in his third term as a state legislator, DeVore defied liberal Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s call for a record-high tax increase in ’09 and later campaigned vigorously against the tax hike when it was on the statewide ballot. (The proposal lost resoundingly, forcing Schwarzenegger and the Democratic leadership in the state legislature to make spending cuts to balance the budget.)
The Original National Socialists
One of the most disturbing things about our children and grandchildren’s education is they are getting a revisionist version of history. This keeps them from learning the lessons of history.
But it is not the only place we get revisionist history. I just took a course at Young Harris College Institute for Continuing Learning (ICL) on “Living & Dying under the Third Reich.”
In the first class the teacher asserted that right-wing conservatives supported Hitler and brought him and the Nazis to power. I asked who exactly was she referring to, since ‘Nazi’ is an acronym for the German National Socialist Workers Party, a decidedly left-wing group.
She refused to answer the question, so I asked for her definition of right-wing conservative. No reply.

Another reason to vote for Chuck DeVore
Sarah Palin’s endorsement of liberal, pro-abortion, pro-illegal alien amnesty, Iran-enabling Republican Carly Fiorina should be a wake up call for the blind Palinmessiahteapartybots. Sadly, it won’t be. As nothing will.
They won’t care that the empty vesselette in a skirt suit endorsed a close friend of ace merchant/shakedown king Jesse Jackson, which Fiorina is. They couldn’t care less that Fiorina, just days after 9/11, gave a drooling speech about Islam. I’ve written about both of these things, exposed by conservative Republican and rthodox Rabbi Dov Fischer, in a MUST-READ article on Fiorina, which documents Fiorina’s expansion of HP into Iran and how she violated embargo laws to sell ink to the country. Watch this video, below, and you’ll hear more from Sarah Palin’s latest “great American”:

NRA-ILA :: Longtime Gun Control Supporters Sponsor Gun Owner Blacklist Bills in Congress
Despite their patriotic-sounding name—the “Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009”—H.R. 2159 by Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) and S. 1317 by Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) aren’t intended to contribute to the war on terrorism. Instead, they’re intended to give the executive branch of the federal government the arbitrary power to stop loyal Americans from exercising their constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms. The true purpose of the bills comes as no surprise, since King, Lautenberg and co-sponsors Reps. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), Mike Castle (R-Del.), Jim Moran (D-Va.), Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), Mark Kirk (D-Ill.) and Chris Smith (R-N.J.), and Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) are longtime supporters of gun control.
Is President Obama Using Executive Powers To Organize Angry Anti-Capitalist Protests On The Streets Of America?
NPA, which is organizing angry mobs to protest against capitalism, is very tight with the Prez, and the Prez is very tight with them.
The fix is in.
Change is coming.

DeVore sounds good – and believable | devore, government, health - Opinion - The Orange County Register
Assemblyman Chuck DeVore of Irvine, candidate for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, met last week with the Register Editorial Board. As with his opponents – Carly Fiorina and Tom Campbell – we found much to like. Indeed, his positions on taxes, the proper limited role of small government, free enterprise and health care closely coincide with the freedom-cherishing positions the Register has held for years.
Given those ideological pluses, we found another of Mr. DeVore's traits most compelling: His consistency and potential for predictability. He remains faithful to the positions he has held since 2004 when first elected to the state Assembly. We believe it's likely he will remain true to those principles, despite shifting winds of circumstance and political faddism. In short, we find Mr. DeVore transparently reliable.

Oppose Statehood for Puerto Rico (HR 2499) | Before It's News
HR 2499 would actually force a yes-or-no vote by Puerto Ricans on whether Puerto Rico should maintain the “current political status” of the island. This sounds innocent enough until the second part of the legislation comes into play; a second vote would have to be administered, this one giving Puerto Ricans no option but statehood or full independence if the majority expresses dissatisfaction with the current political status. Even if there is no dissatisfaction and the “current political status” is favored, every eight years henceforth from the passage of HR 2499 Puerto Rico is forced to conduct another plebiscite on the matter at their own expense.
There are several problems that must first be exposed and debated before such a move should be made. The first is that of creating a bilingual country with the addition of an almost completely Spanish-speaking state. Then there is the problem of reassigning some seats in the U.S. House of Representatives by handing at least six or seven over to Puerto Rico, depriving six or seven existing states of one representative each because of the congressionally-mandated 435 seat cap. This type of political maneuvering seems very partisan because the seats in the Senate and the House would likely be Democratic ones, and the electoral votes awarded Puerto Rico might outnumber those of 22 current states.

a quote from Thomas Paine
Whose country is this?
Arizona acted because the U.S. government has abdicated its constitutional duty to protect the states from invasion and refuses to enforce America's immigration laws.
"We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act," said Gov. Jan Brewer. "But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created an unacceptable situation."
We have a crisis in Arizona because we have a failed state in Washington. What is the response of Barack Obama, who took an oath to see to it that federal laws are faithfully executed?
He is siding with the law-breakers. He is pandering to the ethnic lobbies. He is not berating a Mexican regime that aids and abets this invasion of the country of which he is commander in chief. Instead, he attacks the government of Arizona for trying to fill a gaping hole in law enforcement left by his own dereliction of duty.
