Lost by the Obamites amid the President’s jubilation at the new start treaty, is that Obama was absolutely taken by the two headed monster, Dmitiri Medvedev and Vladimir Putin.
The START treaty that had expired in December called for a maximum of 2200 Ballistic missiles.
Did Obama fail to notice that the Russians currently have more than 2600? That’s not a near miss, that’s a willful failure.
We now have approximately 1500 or so of these most deadly nukes.
However, of much greater importance is what is known as battlefield tactical nuclear weapons.
Everyone acknowledges that there will be good defenses available against ICBM’s launched from thousands of miles away.
This is for any number of reasons, the distance they must travel, the ease of following their locations in hardened, permanent positions, etc.
Just as important is the fact that only a few of these megaton monsters are needed to ensure Armageddon.
The Russians specifically EXCLUDED battlefield tactical weapons from the list of items to be included in the treaty, and inspection regime..
And these are the weapons that are MOST DANGEROUS in today’s world.
They are mobile, use solid fuel and cannot be traced easily using satellite, or even “feet on the ground” technology.
Currently, Russia has a 4 to 1 advantage over us in the number of these weapons, approximately 2000 to 500.
Of much greater concern however, is that these are exactly the weapons that are being sought by dissident terror groups, and which can be stolen, or easily lost track of in regime changes, etc.
And it’s certainly not like the Russians to ally themselves with regimes that might be prone to use these battlefield nukes (wink, wink).
So, once again, we have been made less safe.

11 + 16 + 4 + 14 = Permanent Majority
Lost in the maelstrom of the health care debacle is the ultimate goal of the Obamites.
How to ensure a permanent majority - at least until the dictatorship takes hold - for the progressive party (now in control of the Democrats).
How are they doing this?
Well, in the 2 days since the health care bill, you've seen two immediate actions.
First, the move to immediately grant citizenship to between 11 and 25 million illegal aliens (no one is sure how many there really are - I've used the smaller number).
Ever wonder why union cadillac health plans were excluded from the monstrosity of the fines we all will pay from now on? To ensure the votes of the 16+ million union members in the country.
That's right, unlike you, no matter how good their plan is, they will not be hit with the taxes on that plan the way you will be.
The next move is being called a new voting rights act.
The next piece of legislation is to grant the right to vote BACK to roughly 4 million convicted felons.
Finally, are the approximately 14 million federal employees, who of course receive wonderful health care benefits.
As you know, most of these people will tend to vote Democratic.
If you total up the numbers you get 47 million votes (unless you take the higher end number for illegal aliens who will be granted citizenship, than the total is 61 million votes).
John McCain received approximately 59 million votes in the last election.
Do you think that 61 million number is any coincidence?

Surprising words...
I almost fell off my chair today in reading the op ed section of the Times.
David Brooks, the Times' house Republican (although how a progressive can call himself that, I don't know), has been perhaps Obama's biggest fan, and cheerleader for the better part of the last year.
It's why he is, or was, the only journalist from the right who is given unfettered access.
But in his article today, in discussing his democratic past, and his current position, he said something that I think, reflects much of the country.
To quote:
"Yet I confess, watching all this, I feel again why I am no longer spiritually attached to the Democratic Party. The essence of America is energy - the vibrancy of the market, the mobility of the peole and the disruptive creativity of entrepreneurs. This vibrancy grew up accidentally, out of a cocktail of religious fervor and material abundance, but it was nurtured by choice. It was nurtured by our founders, who created national capital markets to disrupt the ossifying grip of the agricultural landholders..."
I say, bravo David, and welcome back to America.

THE United States v. The UNITED States
A Subtle but important distinction. I wonder when the deaf, dumb and blind kids in the administration and Democratic Leadership are going to take note of the fact that at the present time 34, I repeat 34 State’s Attorney’s General have said that they will file a class action suit against the federal government if the current Health Care Bill (the Senate Version) is passed making it mandatory that we all buy insurance.
This has the potential to lead to a major constitutional crisis. However, even if some deal were reached with the states, it’s almost assured that large private groups would sue on the same grounds, that you cannot require to someone to buy something simply to be allowed to exist.
More importantly, it continues to show the hilarity of Obama’s “I’m not an ideologue. Really, I’m not” statement to the Republican caucus.
