In a story U.S. Old Media are reluctant to touch, today’s Telegraph reveals that Obama’s illegal alien aunt has her deportation hearing today. Of course it is closed so as not to run the risk of attracting British media, since U.S. Old Media won’t touch this.

She is scheduled to appear before a federal immigration court in Boston, where she has been living in a public housing development since 2008.
Her first asylum request was rejected, and she was ordered to be deported in 2004. But she didn’t leave the country and her status as an illegal immigrant was revealed just days before Obama was elected.
Obama says he didn’t know his aunt was living in the country illegally. He says laws covering the situation should be followed.
A judge agreed to reopen the asylum case, which will be closed to the public in accordance with Ms Onyango’s wishes.
Mike Rogers, spokesman for the Ohio law firm defending Ms Onyango, said she was not trying to “capitalise” on her relation to Mr Obama – whose father was Ms Onyango’s half-brother.

She has been living in public housing in Boston after she was ordered to be deported.  So, not only will the U.S. not enforce its immigration laws, but it allows law breakers to stay in public housing.  She probably votes too!

Americans live in a country that rewards lawbreaking.  And the President lies about not knowing his aunt is an illegal alien.  As President, he should say that, indeed, she should be deported because she broke the law.

This would have been unthinkable a generation ago.  It is another datum point capturing downward trend of the United States.

“Washington (CNN) — Preparing the U.S. military to fight two major
conventional wars is “out of date” and does not reflect the numerous
challenges U.S. military forces could face in the future, U.S. Defense
Secretary Robert Gates said Monday.

Gates made that pronouncement as he revealed the 2010 Quadrennial
Defense Review, the military’s strategic outlook. He said the military
needs to start planning for multiple operations such as major disasters
in the United States and various scuffles around the planet.”

Gates knows better than this.

He knows that China is the rising threat, and the U.S. military has to prepare to confront it, not just assisting in humanitarian disasters or chasing al Qaeda.

This is what happens to DoD when Democrats are in charge. Thank goodness Gates is there to provide some adult supervision.

This QDR is a man caused disaster to borrow a term from Homeland Security under Obama.

In a speech to the Republican House caucus, Obama says that his health proposal(s) are not a “Bolshevik plot.”

But if you were to listen to the debate and, frankly, how some of you went after this bill, you’d think that this thing was some Bolshevik plot. No, I mean, that’s how you guys — (applause) — that’s how you guys presented it.

Hmmm. I don’t remember Republicans ever raising the term Bolshevism or Bolshevik. But both are clearly on the President’s mind. Could it be because his health care proposal(s) are not at all about health care, but wealth transfer and increasing state control. Goals one might easily mistake for Bolshevik goals?

Abdul Muhammed attacked a recruiting station last year, killing one soldier and wounding another.

He now admits he was a jihadist here.

The Obama administration is hushing it up.  But the American people realize they are less secure under Obama with his disastrous policies toward terrorism.

You did the right thing by electing Scott Brown. Now there is a hope of stopping the larger parts of Obama’s agenda. But conservatives should not be complacent. There is still much work to be done before the elections this November and on to 2012.

The voters of the Bay State have a chance to do the right thing: vote for Brown in today’s special election. This may be the only chance Americans have to stop Obama’s agenda. Please for Brown! It started in New Jersey and Virginia, but Americans need to build on their message: Americans reject Obama’s policies.

On Friday, the Pentagon’s report on the Ft. Hood terrorist attack was released.  U.S. Army officers are punished.  Their careers ruined because they did not call attention to Maj. Hasan’s jihadism.  Of course, to do so before the attack would have ended their careers due to the politically correct requirement for diversity.

The Left has got the country in a death-grip. This has to change. The military is responsible for the security of the United States. War is too serious for political correctness and the social engineering of the Let.

If this does not change immediately, the West is doomed.

H. Thomas Hayden has an excellent summary here:

owhere in the report does it mention the threat posed by Al Qaeda and nowhere does it mention influences that caused the “self-radicalization.”

There is nothing on why it happened.

The only revealing piece of information in the “Executive Summary: Overview,” is that “DoD force protection programs are NOT focused on internal threats.”

In its 86 rambling pages they treat “the alleged perpetrator,” Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, as just another workplace shooter with references to the Columbine massacre and the new civilian police force concept of neutralizing an “Active Shooter.”

The report did flirt at saying that any attempt to call attention to Maj. Hasan’s radicalism and prevent his promotion could be perceived as reflecting poorly on his superior officers and maybe have negative influence on their careers.

There is another DoD report, which is classified and not available to the public, where one can only hope that DoD recognizes the role “political correctness” played in this tragedy.

Political correctness and the absence of profiling is going to get more American killed until someone in Congress says enough is enough and do something to stop this nonsense.

Harry Reid and Eric Holder get passes.

We have been watching for any fall out from Senator Reid’s remarks.  There has been very little.  The Republicans tried.  This is not due to the potency of his odious remarks.  It is because the Left owns the public sphere.  They are the dominant voice in media and popular culture–everything from comedy shows to the nightly newscast.

They can bring as much or as little heat to bear as they wish.  Reid is a Democrat, and so he gets a pass.

And so does Attorney General Eric Holder.  He has killed an investigation into voter intimidation conducted on election day 2008 by the New Black Panther Party.  The Washington Times has a good op ed on this today.

Since the Left controls the public sphere, they can bring to place as much pressure on Holder as they wish.  And they do not want to since this terrible act conflicts with their narrative–only whites can commit voter fraud.

The Left’s control of the public sphere has huge consequences for the  health of American politics.  It is pass time for Republicans to make this an issue.  Thanks to Andrew Breitbart, who is doing his level best to aid the Right reclaim some of the public sphere.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said the following from as reported in today’s Washington Post:

Reid’s remarks about Obama were revealed in “Game Change,” a book detailing the 2008 race by Time’s Mark Halperin and New York magazine’s John Heilemann.

The authors describe Reid assessing Obama’s strengths as a candidate. Reid, they write, “believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama — a ‘light-skinned’ African American ‘with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,’ as he said privately. Reid was convinced, in fact, that Obama’s race would help him more than hurt him in a bid for the Democratic nomination.”

The National Republican Senatorial Committee jumped on Reid’s comments. “For those who hope to one day live in a color-blind nation, it appears Harry Reid is more than a few steps behind them,” communications director Brian Walsh said.

Reid gets a pass on these remarks because he is a Democrat. If a Republican had made these, he would be toast, with the Democratic media complex calling for his head. The fact that it may be true does not matter. Objective analysis of Obama’s victory is not possible today, and may never be, even by historians a generation from now.

This incidence shows how race is a political weapon in American politics today. Political Correctness, a communist concept, is used to enforce the control of the Left in America.  Objective analysis, objective truth does not matter.  The Left has made its own truth, and will enforce it.  How distant this is from the American promise of freedom of speech and freedom of thought.

Harry Reid should consider himself fortunate to be a Democrat today.

It took a year of struggling against reality, but it finally happened. He worked hard, fighting against the truth, but discovered that facts are stubborn things.

Obama announced yesterday that the United States is in a war on terror.

That is progress. But it won’t last. There are two narratives in this struggle, which is not fundamentally about terrorism at all for the Left, but about America. The Right sees terrorism as threat to America, and works to fight terrorism.

For the Left, the war on terror is a threat to multiculturalism, which is a cover for transforming America politically and socially.

The Left needs to downplay the war on terror to promote its agenda.

What have we found since we opened America’s borders to everyone, that is, those who are likely to vote for the Democrats, in an effort to remake America? Some bad people are going to come in. They are going to attack you. These attacks threaten the multiculturalist agenda. They run the risk of alerting the American people to the risks of the Democratic agenda, and may lead Americans to question it, and reject it. So Islamic fundamentalist terrorism has to be downplayed. It does not happen. The attack in Arkansas–a troubled man. Same for the Ft. Hood attack. But too many attacks, too quickly. Reality intervened to force Obama’s acknowledgement. Absent more attacks, it will fade. And even if more attacks are made, despite harsher rhetoric from the Obama team, they will not change the Democratic agenda of transforming America into a socialist paradise. That is the objective, and no terror attack will change it.
