AG Holder considering torture probe

President Hussein is thinking of allowing AG Eric Holder to conduct probes into the “Torture” used by the Bush administration. In reality, this is nothing more than a purge and possible show trials to please the Progressives. These programs were done to prevent terror attacks on Americans. The effect of this would demoralize the CIA, as they would be nervous about interrogating Islamists in the future. This is also a bad precedent as new administrations don’t prosecute the former.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder is considering whether to appoint a criminal prosecutor to investigate the Bush administration’s interrogation practices, a controversial move that would run counter to President Obama’s wishes to leave the issue in the past.

Holder plans to make a final decision within the next few weeks, a Justice Department official told The Associated Press on Saturday night. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on a pending matter.

Justice Department spokesman Matt Miller said Holder planned to “follow the facts and the law.”

I have often compared Obama to a 3rd World dictator. This is just more proof since one of the 1st things 3rd World dictators do is prosecute members of the previous government. Show trials to follow to please the supporters of the revolution. Obama clearly has dictatorial tendencies and this should erase all doubt.

Fidel Castro must be proud of his fellow Comrade.

Obama’s plan to Coerce People out of Their Cars

This really is a radical government intervention of our lives. President Hussein wants Americans to use their cars less and use alternate methods of travel. This would be funny but Obama has a pattern of proposing radical changes in the way Americans live. This clearly is not the role of the President, but the Progressive Media machine loves this man and will never call him out for for this.

Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood remarked in May that his livability initiative[1] “is a way to coerce people out of their cars.”[2]When asked if this was government intrusion into people’s lives, LaHood responded that “about everything we do around here is government intrusion in people’s lives,” a sentiment that would have certainly surprised the authors of the United States Constitution, a document whose major purpose was to restrain government.

LaHood’s endorsement of government coercion comes as no surprise to those who have been tracking the Obama Administration’s incremental endorsements of the environmentalists’ smart growth strategies to slow growth, crowd development, and deter automobile use. And with LaHood’s most recent presentation, the Administration has formally embarked on an unprecedented and costly exercise in social engineering toalter the way Americans live and travel.

Obama, Zelaya, and the Rule of Law

An article from some radical right-wing nut about Obama and his disdain for the rule of law over at Renew America.

American conservatives may perhaps take some small comfort in the fact that there is at least one country in the Western hemisphere that actually takes its own constitution seriously. Unfortunately, that country is Honduras, and not the United States.

By now, most readers are probably familiar with the events that have taken place in Honduras over the past two weeks. If one only listened to the reports from the mainstream media, one would get the impression that horrible, evil right-wingers in the Honduran military had staged a coup d’etat against a popular democratically-elected President. This, of course, is not what happened. In fact, the deposeé — Manuel Zelaya — had attempted to amend the Honduran constitution by popular referendum to allow himself to serve a third term as President. According to said document, not only is the constitution not amendable in this fashion, but a sitting President immediately forfeits his right to hold that office if he proposes to alter the constitution to give himself extra terms. Hence, the moment he put forward the proposal, Zelaya legally deposed himself.

Further, the Honduran military removed Zelaya from office as their constitution expressly says they can do in such a case, and this move was approved (in fact, it was ordered) by the Honduran Supreme Court, acting in its capacity as the interpreter of Honduras’ highest law of the land. To top it off, Zelaya was replaced by Roberto Michelleti, formerly the President of the Honduran Congress, by a nearly unanimous vote of Honduras’ legislature — again completely in accord with what their constitution stipulates.

Yet, America’s Hypocrite-in-Chief calls these events “illegal.”

It’s kind of long, but read the whole thing when you get the time!

New Bill to allow White House to lock up Opponents?

You read the headline correct, that would be the end result of an Amendment introduced by Rep. Alcee Hastings to the defense authorization bill. If a Republican introduced this type of legislation, the Progressive Media would be on the attack.

What’s wrong with this picture? The federal government spends billions on homeland security, but apparently can’t stop foreigners from illegally crossing the border or overstaying their visas. The Obama administration wants to bring violent terrorists captured overseas to the mainland and close the military detention center at Guantanamo Bay. Yet in the latest bizarre twist, legislation quietly making its way through Congress would give the White House power to categorize political opponents as hate groups and even send Americans to detention centers on abandoned military bases.

This is Fascism pure and simple.
