“If one reads the text of the document carefully then it becomes clear that Americans will really have to reduce the number of [nuclear] warheads, while if we [Russia] want to reach the levels defined by the document, will actually have to increase the amount of warheads,” Mikhail Margelov, the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Federation Council, said in an interview with TVTc television channel.

Among the two most alarming revelations is the already completed sale and delivery, to Venezuela by Russia, of nearly 2,000 advanced, shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles capable of hitting aircraft as high as 19,000 feet. Equally and perhaps more alarming is an October agreement between Iran and Venezuela. The agreement establishes a joint ground-to-ground missile base on Venezuelan soil and calls for the sharing of missile technology and the training of technicians and officers. In addition, Venezuela may use the missiles as it chooses for “national needs” and in case of “emergency.” Several types of missiles will be deployed, giving Venezuela the ability to strike targets throughout South and Central America and throughout the U.S.

White House Drafts Executive Order for Indefinite Detention

the order establishes indefinite detention as a long-term Obama administration policy and makes clear that the White House alone will manage a review process for those it chooses to hold without charge or trial.

Executive Order 13559 – Fundamental Principles and Policy-making Criteria for Partnerships with Faith-Based and Other Neighborhood Organizations

Executive Order 13558 – Export Coordination Enforcement Center
[creates a new agency that gets to look at information from a huge number of other agencies in centralized form. it creates a whole new section of government and grants complete freedom to “determine its agenda”. it bypasses congress by taking funding from homeland security, who then will petition for more front end funding]

Executive Order 13557 – Controlled Unclassified Information

the idea of this one is to get power to control information that is not classified but they don’t want you to know. like a birth cert, or school transcripts, etc…

the next one is very strategic, but since we don’t want to discuss STRATEGY but want to react with tactics and small stuff, we don’t really go over much meat and potatoes here…

Executive Order 13556 – Order of Succession Within the Department of Justice [It also rescinds President George W. Bush’s Executive Order 13481]

so in case there is some event that prevents the current attorneys general from acting, the people he designated take control. like maybe when you arrest them?

Executive Order 13555 – White House Initiative On Educational Excellence For Hispanics [so much for equality before the law… now some classes are more equal than others, and some races are more equal than others. protected classes]

The Executive order puts in place an Initiative on Educational Excellence for Hispanics, to be housed in the Department of Education. The mission of the Initiative shall be to help restore the United States to its role as the global leader in education and to strengthen the Nation by expanding educational opportunities and improving educational outcomes for Hispanics of all ages and by helping to ensure that all Hispanics receive a complete and competitive education that prepares them for college, a career, and productive and satisfying lives.

It’s extremely difficult to recover freedoms. The bureaucratic Left, thanks to S-510, will now micro-manage our food and the three loons at FCC want to protect us from ideas and words. The bitter truth here is that Republican leadership didn’t even put up a fight on these issues-they even supported some of it.

Running for office so that you can run for office won’t get it anymore! November 2010 was only a good beginning.

Sure hope it doesn’t – I don’t want to kill anyone.

But keep on taxing, proscribing, regulating my life and there will come a time when the benefits of voilence will outweigh the benefits of civilized behavior.

And I shall die a free man.

Understatement of the year.

McConnell is horrible. The only leader worse was Frist before him. McCain is a close third. I am hoping against hope that the Tea Party spirit is able to change McConnell out. He is no good; does no good for anything; and only does harm by compromising with Obama.

In this slugfest for the very life of America, you do not help your opponent up off the mat. You defeat him. That should be the one and only R goal for now – defeat everything liberal/democrat/Obama. No compromise on anything. Nothing. Zero.

I am going to call my new Senator (Pat Toomey; not yet sworn in) and beg him to resist Obama and the Rinos all the time, every day, publicly and loudly, 100% no surrender.

Agreed, but I’m not so worried, for two reasons

1) The most we can do anyway for the next two years is A) prevent more bad legislation from being passed, and this we can do with our new conservative majority in the House alone. And B) that same conservative House can stop ObamaCare from being implimented.

2) The real action will come after the election of 2012, and (laugh at me if you want) but I’m reasonably confident we can take the White House, keep the House, and make gains in the Senate. At that point what RINOs are left won’t be able to stop much.

The new Congress may not be as different as we hope.
