Demonstration Report from UT-Austin on August 9, 2010
Posted by: | CommentsOn August 9, 2010 President Obama came to the University of Texas at Austin to give a talk on the future of higher education. But while he and his adoring public had their little state-worship service in Gregory Gym, protesters outside had quite a time trying to deal with the restrictions put upon their freedom of speech.

Christianity in Action – the Obama Presidency
Posted by: | CommentsEver wondered what Christianity looks like in practice? Look no further than… President Obama!
I saw this today at a demonstration at UT-Austin in front of Gregory Gym and the library. Of all the ridiculous things I’ve seen in the past year, I think this takes the cake.
I asked the gentleman how Obama could be “Christianity in action” if it requires aggression against a neighbor to act. His response, I kid you not, was that back in the first century they had despots as leaders, and now we have representative government. After laughing hysterically, I then proceeded to ask how he justifies his task of blowing up the Middle East, I mean, they’re still his representatives of Christ, right? On the contrary: “Love for neighbor cannot be delegated” said Pope Benedict XVI.
I just can’t wait for Obama to go back to DC so he can put more Christianity into action!
I’ll post more about the protest later. Lots of stuff happened…
Thanks to Heather from LP-Texas for taking the picture. Heroic!

Jon Stewart Crushes Obama on Civil Liberties

Hey Jon, didn’t I promise you Bush 3.0? You may not be a libertarian now, but keep this up for long and you may end up, oh I don’t know, like John Stossel or Andrew Napolitano…
But I’m still curious, why do “conservatives” want to oust Barry? Seriously, he behaves exactly like Republicans should want: he gives corporate handouts, he passes socialized medicine (remember Bush’s “Prescription Drug Plan” plus some), he encourages education (No Child Left Behind!), and most of all he ratchets up every war effort possible. What’s not for a conservative to love?
Oh wait, I get it. He’s a Democrat stealing the thunder of Republican big-government programs. That’s why.

Mission Accomplished, Obama-Style
Posted by: | CommentsOn January 23, 2009 a two-day-inaugurated President Obama ordered his first murder of Iraqis with Predator drones. Now, exactly sixteen months past his inauguration, Barack Obama has failed to live up to one of the simplest measurable campaign promises I can imagine, a complete pullout of Iraq in sixteen months. We haven’t seen one brigade returned home without another taking its place, in fact nearly all aspects of the Federal Government’s Middle East interventions continue to increase in scope. I might have been a little more understanding if something had happened in the right direction, but pretty much all I can say that is positive is that we haven’t invaded Iran – yet. (Knock on wood.)
So yes, congratulations are in order…
Congratulations, President Obama, for proving yourself time and again that you are just Bush 2.0 (or is it 3.0).
Congratulations, conservative warmongers, for towing the party line and keeping this war going.
Congratulations, supposedly anti-war liberals, for believing the lie hook, line, and sinker, and supporting an immoral President through thick and thin.
Congratulations, establishment media, for continuing to shill for the State as thousands upon thousands of innocents suffer. Why should it take an independent media organization to expose what you should have been saying from the beginning?
Congratulations, Christian conservatives, for selling out to a political party where you don’t even get any positive influence in return, and using whatever influence you do have to promote continued murder. Seriously, you’re embarrassing. Stop it.
Okay enough with the sarcasm. You know who should get real congrats? Those who have been consistently anti-war since the beginning of the 21st century, no matter their political stripe. Those such as Lew Rockwell, Justin Raimondo, Laurence Vance, Ron Paul, heck even Cindy Sheehan have stayed true to consistent morality and opposed what is plainly an immoral, unjust, and unrighteous war.
Stay the course, friends. We must continue to oppose evil and call it by its name. Do not despair, for truth and justice prevail in the end.

How Much Bureaucracy Did Congress Just Buy Us?
Posted by: | Comments
You have to hand it to the Federal Government, they really know how to take a bad situation and make it much worse. Consider the new health care bill. Have you paused to think about the expansion of bureaucracy that it will bring? Guess what?
It’s going to be massive.
Estimates run that the one-hundred eleven new groups formed by the bill will need to employ on the order of 50,000 newbie bureaucrats. But whatever, this country is bankrupt and probably won’t be able to sustain this program for a couple of years. Start taking care of yourself better now so you don’t get smashed by statist health care later.
Read the huge list of new bureaucratic groups after the jump.
