Now tell me how GWB averted the collapse of SSI. :rock:

When asked about Clintons whereabouts, a State Department spokesman told CNSNews.com that she was on vacation, but would not provide a location. When asked why Clinton has not issued a statement on the Christmas Day bombing attempt, the spokesman said such a statement was not necessary.

The fathers report resulted in a visa alert being sent to the State Department and the National Counterterrorism Center, which reports to President Barack Obama and Dennis C. Blair, the director of national intelligence.
Even with that information, the State Department did not revoke Abdulmutallabs visa,................................

One foreign journalist has opined about Clintons silence on the Iranian matter.
In a column in Britains Telegraph on Wednesday, Nile Gardiner called Clinton the invisible secretary, who he said should be speaking out against the arrest of more than 1,500 Iranians by the countrys brutal security forces.
Im not aware, however, of a single statement from a senior official at the State Department on the latest situation in Iran a disgraceful state of affairs and a huge abdication of responsibility, Gardiner said.
Her striking absence from the world stage is a damning indictment of the lack of American leadership at a time of tremendous upheaval on the streets of Tehran, and when the United States is facing a mounting threat from an increasingly dangerous and hostile Islamist regime.
What is particularly disturbing about all of this is the simple fact that the 9/11 Commission identified visa fraud and immigration benefit fraud as major areas of concern where the entry and embedding of terrorists in our country are involved, yet virtually nothing has been done to address these major holes in the fence that is supposed to keep those individuals out of our country who are determined to do us such harm!
A country without secure borders can no more stand than can a house without walls!
Any politician who refuses to work to secure our borders and create an immigration system that has integrity is either corrupt or too dumb to keep his (her) job. Any politician, irrespective of party affiliation who favors health care for illegal aliens and/or Comprehensive Immigration Reform should be shown the door at the next election!
If you find yourself to be in agreement with this commentary, I ask that you forward it to as many of your friends and family members as possible and encourage them to do the same.
Next year each and every member of the House of Representatives is up for reelection. Next year more than one third of the members of the United States Senate will have to face their constituents. They need to be reminded that they work for us, We the People!
The collective failure of We the People to get involved in make our concerns known to our politicians have nearly made the concerns of the great majority of the citizens of this nation all but irrelevant to the politicians.
Suddenly Hempton's blog -- which uses Google's blog platform Blogger -- is labeled as spam and unavailable.
The discovery was made by Felix Salmon, who suspects that someone wants to silence Hempton, and is using Google's report spam feature to silence Hempton's blog.
Sometimes the truth hurts, so they try to keep it from surfacing. Quiet the voice of the masses is a long used tactic of Socialist/Communist regimes.
this thread is funny. The blog is now back up and
The troops want more sharing and less secrecy. They want useful information and they want it fast. They don't want to find out a year later that good stuff was available, but could not be released to the combat troops for one bureaucratic reason or another. If they don't get intel in time, it might just as well not exist.
There is a revolution in the intelligence world, and it is being led by users who have gone into business for themselves, and shown the pros how it should be done. But the rules on sharing with foreigners, even long time allies, are still getting American allies killed.
Ironically, the Yalta Conference spawned the United Nations which ultimately begot the Church of AGW, with its arsenal of politically fabricated scientific gospels. Without denigrating the UNs initial role as a useful vehicle for mediation in the Cold War, when the super powers treated geopolitical strategic calculations as a chess game played on a global scale, its subsequent degeneration into a den of graft and corruption, as exemplified by the Oil for Food Program shenanigans, is yet another teachable instance of the falling out of a political marriage of convenience.
The entire history of the Berlin Wall is one of the most appropriate metaphors for the role of the United Nations as a mediator in the Cold War. Under the aegis of the UN, the Wall rose and deplored by John Fitzgerald Kennedy. With the consternation of the UN the Wall fell on the instigation of Ronald Wilson Regan. The commemoration of its fall was dismissed by Barack Hussein Obama as of no significance.
But most noteworthy of all, the fall of the Berlin Wall triggered the disintegration of the USSR. This resulted in a host of communist ideologues amongst the liberal intelligentsia of the West to flock into the United Nations and its satellite institutions. This crystallized the takeover of the environmental movement by communist ideologues of all shades and flavors of radical persuasions.
The seminal beginning of the present-day AGW is traceable with unmistakable certainty to the Stockholm Declaration of 1972. Said document, reads, in part: ............................
If Waxman-Markey passes, the federal government will supervise all forms of industrial, residential, and commercial energy use. That bill will charge for carbon, impose a "cap-and-trade" system, and mandate renewable energy standards and energy efficiency requirements for American business and industry. There will be a tight nationwide system of federal supervision and regulation of energy use and climate control efforts reaching down to local building codes and housing inspectors. The 1,427 pages of the bill are a monument to the ambition of some to have rules for everything.
Indeed, even some of the most ardent alarmists say that the bill will do little to change the future climate. However, it will cost staggering sums and countless wasted man-hours. Furthermore, the emphasis on "green energy" in the bill is an engineering pipe dream because the "green" sources relied on and subsidized are inherently inadequate for the task on a national scale, and emphasis on them also would cause hardship in the third world.
The threat to use the Clean Air Act to control carbon dioxide has a somewhat hollow ring to me. I would call the administration's bluff.

People need to see the wolves in green clothing for what they are: charlatans. Honest environmentalists need to stop their unquestioning clamor, revisit the science, and recognize the truth, lest the very good cause they serve be seriously harmed.
Americans and American business should not knuckle under to this cynical and corrupt power grab. Before new policy and rules are made, we must demand a thorough airing of the climate science with a fair and honest process by a reliable investigating team. It will not be that hard to root out the fudging and falsification of data.
This is the fight that will define the twenty-first century as either a time when mankind advances due to honest enterprise, quality science, and technical achievement...or we are subjugated by government micro-regulation from manipulative control freaks based on false and slanted data from grant recipients with no scruples
