A Celebration of Freedom … Colombian Hostages Free … Rescued from FARC Rebels

On 4th of July weekend … what better story than a celebration of freedom.

The rescue of the hostages in Colombia from FARC rebels. The emotions speak volumes of the hostages as they realize that they can now celebrate their own Independence Day.

Colombia showed video Friday of an orderly mission that ended in hugs and laughter for 15 hostages who were rescued from a Colombian guerilla group this week.

Check out the raw video footage of the hostages celebration of freedom when they finally learned on board the helicopter that there were free.

Here is Some Change for America … Barack Obama Picks Up the Much Sought After Kim Jong Il Endorsement

America … wake up and ask yourself a very simple question. Why do anti-American tyrants keep endorsing the Obama candidacy?

Obama: Hope and change!!! For who, the worlds tyrannical communist dictators? Guess who picked up the endorsement of communist dictator Kim Jong Il today? That’s correct, the one and only candidate for change in America, Barack Obama. Exactly what type of change is Obama really want for America? Barack Obama gets another unwanted endorsement. As the Jawa Report puts forth the very valid question that all need to ask themselves, “Ask yourself why terrorists and tyrants all over the globe are rooting for The Lightworker?” So why does the propaganda machine of a communist dictator seem to have the same talking points as the Democratic party, that McCain is a third GWB term?

(Michelle Malkin: Priceless Kim Jong Il Obama Seal Endorsement)

The Chosun Sinbo, the mouthpiece of North Korea’s Japanese front organization Chongryon and often for the North Korean regime itself, has announced its preference for Obama over McCain, whom it calls “a variant of Bush” and “nothing better than a scarecrow of neoconservatives,” which is a bit odd considering that the Bush Administration’s giveaway diplomacy is better for Kim Jong Il than even Clinton’s awful performance.

From Little Green Footballs, “It’s nearly unanimous; terrorist groups and cruel dictators have made a clear choice in the US presidential election”. So why do people like Kim Jung Il and Fidel Castro want Barack Obama to be the next President of the United States. The mere fact that they do should make all sane people vote for John McCain.

North Korea’s endorsement of Obama will probably draw comparisons to the unwanted Hamas endorsement of Obama. Hamas withdrew the endorsement after Obama spoke at AIPAC’s convention.  Fidel Castro, by contrast, took a more sophisticated and self-aware approach:

[O]n Monday [Castro] gave Senator Barack Obama an endorsement of sorts, calling him “the most progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency” while also berating him for his plan to continue the trade embargo against Cuba. “Were I to defend him, I would do his adversaries an enormous favor,” Mr. Castro said. “I have therefore no reservations about criticizing him.”  [N.Y. Times, The Caucus] (One Free Korea)

John Kerry Thinks We Were Not at War on September 11, 2001 … Democrats Who Are Out of Touch with Reality

This may be one of the most absurd, yet typical comments from the Left regarding 9–11. John Kerry, the Democratic Senator from Massachusetts thinks that America was not at was on September 11, 2001. How naive and clueless could anybody possible be? And John Kerry think McCain is out of touch? Can you say terror denial? A note to Democrats, one of the first steps in denial is to admit there is a problem. At peace!!! I guess al Qaeda did not get the memo Senator Kerry.

Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) believes that on September 11 “we were basically at peace.”

Asked to clarify his remarks, specifically asking about the attacks on the U.S.S. Cole during Barack Obama campaign conference call, Kerry said, “well, we hadn’t declared war,” The Hill’s Sam Youngman reports.

Asked if al Qaeda was a threat at the time, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee said, “well yes, obviously they were a threat. But, fundamentally we were not at war at that point in time.”

Kerry also called John McCain “out of step with history and facts.”

To all those misguided people that think that America was at peace on September 11, 2001 … check out the reality. The next President and Commander and Chief better have a full and complete understanding of our enemy and the dangers that America faces on a daily basis.

As Hot Air states, Kerry’s comments regarding his clueless belief that America was at peace is just Reason #117 that we can all thank our lucky stars that he was not elected in 2004.

John Kerry Takes Liberal Denial To New Heights

You Tube & Google Refuse to Take Down ALL Islamist Terrorist Propaganda Videos … Free Speech?

As Memorial Day is upon us Senator Joe Lieberman takes on You Tube and their so-called free speech against American soldiers. Want to become outraged … see the videos for yourself that You Tube allows as free speech from the very people that would take away You Tube’s if they had the opportunity.

You Tube claims it is about free speech? Really, or only about a particular form of free speech? Is violent extremist Islamic material considered free speech? Is a propaganda video showing an American solder killed by sniper fire free speech? You Tube seems to think so. Why does You Tube ban certain videos that they deem offensive or against their political agenda, yet allow Islamofascist videos showing American soldiers targeted and killed as ok? Does that some how meet the You Tube guidelines against showing graphic and gratuitous violence. Are there guidelines, or do they just want to increase video views at all cost?

What is most pathetic regarding the You Tube response is that they feel that they are not responsible for the videos that are uploaded to You Tube. Instead they hide behind the guise for free speech and complain that they do not have the resources to pre-screen all videos uploaded on a daily basis. Well maybe they should get the resources from the revenue that they generate! They are making money off of video views. That is their business model. Free speech and stifle debate are the excuses? What a bunch of nonsense this is as You Tube has taken down bloggers videos because other people did not want a particular political or religious agenda shown. Instead of objectively taking down “hate videos”, You Tube creates an agenda driven “snitch and destroy” subjective means of censorship.

YouTube went on to say that it encourages free speech and defends the right of its users to express unpopular points of view.

“We believe that YouTube is a richer and more relevant platform for users precisely because it hosts a diverse range of views, and rather than stifle debate, we allow our users to view all acceptable content and make up their own minds,” the company said. “Of course, users are always free to express their disagreement with a particular video on the site, by leaving comments or their own response video. That debate is healthy.” (Computer World)

Check out My Pet Jawa and the numerous videos that You Tube thinks is ok and not Islamic propaganda. Yeah, these videos do not promote violence against American soldiers.

WARNING: SOME OF THESE VIDEOS ARE GRAPHIC IN & VIOLENT IN NATURE … THIS IS WHAT YOU TUBE DEEMS OK AND FREE SPEECH

video 1   video 2    video 3    video 4    video 5    video 6    video 7    video 8

The videos on You Tube like this are in the 100’s and 1000’s. See for yourself and become outraged. FYI, here are just some of You Tube’s guidelines, think these videos did not violate them?

When a video gets flagged as inappropriate, we review the video to determine whether it violates our Terms of Use—flagged videos are not automatically taken down by the system.

• Graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed. If your video shows someone getting hurt, attacked, or humiliated, don’t post it.
• YouTube is not a shock site. Don’t post gross-out videos of accidents, dead bodies and similar things.

Executive Order 13224: BLOCKING PROPERTY AND PROHIBITING TRANSACTIONS WITH PERSONS WHO COMMIT, THREATEN TO COMMIT, OR SUPPORT TERRORISM

Sec. 2. Section 3 of Executive Order 12947 is hereby amended to read as follows.

Why does You Tube refuse to take down all of the off their video site that are produced by terrorist groups that depict hate speech and gratuitous violence against our United States Military? Google and You Tube have been asked by CT Senator Joseph Lieberman to do just that, take down the offensive, hate and propaganda videos that promote violence.

Chris Matthews Rips Guest for Historical Ignorance and then Says USS Cole Attack Occurred Under George Bush

Ever wonder what is wrong with the Main stream media? Look no further than MSNBC’s Hard Ball and Chris Matthews as he bashes a guest for not knowing his Neville Chamberlain history and appeasement … “Peace for our time”.

However, as The Newsbusters point out … those that throw stones should not live in glass houses. Or at least work for the MSM where their grasp on historical facts is not among the best either. After ridiculing a Hard Ball guest for ignorance, Chris Mathews then says,  “Wasn’t the USS Cole under Bush? I mean, I don’t know what I’m talking about here.” Ah, no Chris … you scholar you … the attack of the USS Cole took place under Clinton on October 12, 2000.

See the remarks and the video HERE.

Funny, we do not see Chris Matthews ripping into and ridiculing Obama for thinking that there were 57 States. But of course, its MSNBC’s duty to carry the water for Barack Obama. The Obama camp and MSM are in an uproar over GWB’s comments in Israel regarding appeasement of terrorists and Hitler as one in the same.

“We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is—the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

One knows you have struck a nerve when Moonbat nation cries foul. This is a real issue for people to ponder for the Fall election. Giving terrorists clout is a form of appeasement. Why would anyone give the Iranian leader credibility by meeting with a US President? What could Mahmoud Ahmadinejad say in person to Obama that his actions have not already shown?

Code Pink to use Witchcraft Against Marines: Code Pink, the Few, the Loud, the Witches

Once again we have liberals protesting the very people who protect and defend their rights to act like fools. Does anyone think that the Taliban or Al Qaeda would ever allow Code Pink to exist?

Wonder if Code Pink will use witchcraft against the Taliban seen here beating women in Kabul. Click on pic for actual footage.

Could there ever be two sets of organizations that have been more different? In one corner we have the brave men and women of the Marines: The Few, the Proud … The Marines. In the other we have Code Pink, the Few, the Loud, the Moonbats. As if the rantings of Code Pink are not enough, now they are resorting to witchcraft to put a spell on the Marine recruiting office they have been demonstrating at in Berkeley, CA. As Michelle Malkin interjects, The Witchy women of Code Pink, want fellow moonbats to howl at the moon. Marines or Moonbats, which side do you take?

Code Pink is now resorting to witchcraft to beef up the number of its supporters protesting Berkeley’s controversial Marine Corps Recruiting Center.

The women’s anti-war group has told ralliers to come equipped with spells and pointy hats Friday for “Witches, clowns and sirens day,” the last of the group’s weeklong homage to Mother’s Day.

“Women are coming to cast spells and do rituals and to impart wisdom to figure out how we’re going to end war,” Zanne Sam Joi of Bay Area Code Pink told FOXNews.com.

The group’s week of themed protests, which included days to galvanize grannies and bring-your-daughter-to-protest, appears to have done little to boost its flagging numbers. (FOX News)

Watch Moonbat Protest Cam, Live steaming

From the actual Code Pink website …

“Friday, May 9th: Witches, Crones, Sirens: perform rituals of leaving, cast a spell of peace and love over the station, rendering nil the recruiting of our youth to become fodder for this occupation of Iraq.”

Alrighty then, break out the straight jackets and prepare the rubber rooms, which way to the looney bin.

Spells Cast at Anti-Marine Rally in California

William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn: Obama … With Friends like this, who Needs Political Material for TV Ads

Since the beginning of the political primaries, the media has all but refused to cover Obama’s past or his close relationships. The liberal main stream media just wanted to keep trumpeting the talking points that Obama was the candidate of change. Change, change, change. No substance, no record, no nothing, just change.

I am the candidate of change … forget my past and lack of judgement. Who doesn’t have domestic terrorists, criminals and racists as friends and confidants? Vote for me … Vote for Change.

Thanks to the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the media has been forced into covering Obama’s past and his associations. The media has been forced to cover some of the stories. However, now the media has changed their plan of action. Now they want to tell us that its no big deal who Obama associated with and that they are not character flaws, but mere insignificant occurrences. They actually thing “We the People” are that stupid. 

In an article in the WSJ, Elizabeth Wurtzel tries to tell us that Obama’s association with Bernardine Dohrn  and Bill Ayers is simply fine.

Apparently, back when he was running for state senate, Barack Obama had fund-raising events at the home of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, and there’s been some press about the senator’s friendship with this controversial Weathercouple. Many reporters are well aware, even though Mr. Obama has described his connection to Ayers and Dohrn as “flimsy,” that the senator’s relationship with his radical Hyde Park neighbors is actually quite warm, even close.

Its all just no big deal. In fact, it is a big deal as stated by Protein Wisdom. It gets even worse as the media refuses to cover a story that they know much more of. How pathetic has our media become where they squelch stories that do not fit their liberal agenda.

Bill Ayers – Weather Underground

As previously noted, Obama has been less than honest about his relationship with unrepentant domestic terrorist William Ayers.  But Wurtzel is suggesting that reporters know even more than they are reporting.

Flopping Aces reminds us of some other character issue associations that Obama has no issue with in the past as well.

So we should all just forget about Obama’s very bad judgement in befriending the likes of Rezko and Auchi, Odinga, Ayers, The New Black Panther Party, La Raza, Farrakhan, Mr. Wright, and the homophobe Rev. James T. Meeks.

Not likely. Nor should it be when picking the next President of the United States.

Is it any wonder why John McCain has forged ahead of Barack Obama in the Daily Gallup Poll, 48%–42%. Think the Reverend Wright controversy has not taken its toll on Obama’s numbers? After the pasting that Obama took in Pennsylvania, he can hardly afford another loss like that in Indiana. Ever wonder why after 20 years Obama finally said something about Wright and tried to completely distance himself? Its all politics.

Bicycle Bomb Attack at NYC Time Square Military Recruiting Station

A bomb went off this morning at a military recruiting station in Time Square in New York City. No injuries have been reported and no suspects. Further proof that there are nuts every where and that people must continue to be vigilant. With all the cameras in the Time Square area, it would be impossible for the person who committed this crime not to have been seen.

NEW YORK —  An explosive device caused minor damage to an empty military recruiting station in Times Square early Thursday, shaking guests in hotel rooms high above.

Police blocked off the area to investigate the explosion, which occurred at about 3:45 a.m., shattering the station’s glass entryway. No one was injured.

Is Vice President Dick Cheney in Aruba? Air Force 2 Lands in Aruba … US Homeland Security & Hugo Chavez?

It is being reported from Diario – Aruba that Air Force 2 and Dick Cheney have landed in Aruba. I hardly think that Dick Cheney took AF2 to Aruba for a vacation.

One can only speculate that this trip to Aruba is in reference to homeland security and a little message to Hugo Chavez just 18 miles away in Venezuela. It has also long been speculated that this has been the very reason why the US State Department has never gotten involved in dealing with the Natalee Holloway case. With Hugo Chavez only 18 miles away from Aruba … it makes a nice staging area to listen. It was not too long ago that Venezuela dictator Hugo Chavez paid a visit to Aruba.

To bad what ever US delegation that went to Aruba couldn’t tell them to get their act together and properly investigate and prosecute a case of an American citizen!

ORANJESTAD (AAN): Ayeranochi aeropuerto di Aruba tabata tin extra seguridad ora cu Air Force 2, un Boeing C-32 a baha. For di atardi caba tabata papia di e yegada di e avion aki na Aruba, cual ta esun normalmente usa pa transporte di e Vicepresidente di Merca.

UPDATE I: Dick Cheney Exclusive Picture Spotted in Aruba

(FYI: pic of Cheney on Banana bus is faux)

UPDATE II: Translation:

Oranjestad – Last night the airport of Aruba had extra security when Air Force 2, a Boeing C-32, landed. From earlier in the afternoon there were talks that this plane would arrive in Aruba, plane which is normally used for the transport of the Vice President of the United States.

The police were advised to supply extra security around the airport. As soon as the plane landed around 9 pm on Friday, a number of equipment were taken to give assistance to the area where the plane was stationed.

There were talks that Dick Cheney might be on board with his entire security who received authorization to carry weapons in Aruba.

Those on board are scheduled to leave Aruba on Monday morning. On Saturday morning the plane will be moved to a western portion of the airport, closer to the fire station, because the airport is busy and the plane is taking a lot of space.

The part that will be closed which plane will be used where the Air Force 2 will park. On the photo the plane can be seen just after it landed in Aruba.

Didn’t Democrats Once Accuse Republicans of Terrorism Fear Mongering … Clinton Ad Draws Ire of Obama

Wasn’t it Democrats that always complained about fear mongering?

Every since the 9–11 attacks in 2001 Democrats have consistently accused Republicans of using fear mongering ads during elections. Now it appears that Hillary Clinton seems to think that protecting the United States from terrorists foreign foes is an important role of a president and does so in the following ad. The Clinton ad certainly cast doubts on Barack Obama’s readiness. And so it should.

Playing on anxieties about national security, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has produced a “red phone moment” advertisement that suggests she would be better able to respond to a crisis than Senator Barack Obama.

 Hillary Clinton’s New Ad

Later the Obama campaign released a new ad to respond directly to the one from Mrs. Clinton’s campaign. It says in part: “It’s 3 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep. But there’s a phone ringing in the White House. Something’s happening in the world. When that call gets answered, shouldn’t the president be the one — the only one — who had judgment and courage to oppose the Iraq war from the start.”

Obama, an Illinois senator, has a 6-point edge on Clinton in Texas, 48 percent to 42 percent. He trails Clinton 44 percent to 42 percent in Ohio — well within the poll’s margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.

• The Truth Dig: Clinton’s ‘Red Phone’ Ad

UPDATE I: Clinton leads Obama in Ohio - barely: 47% to 43%
