Nothing more needs be said. Captain Richard Phillips, who was being held for ransom by pirate community organizers, once again jumped overboard.
This time, though, the US Navy retrieved him, took out some of the culprits and arrested the remaining would-be do-badders. Good on them.
All this without a real comment from Glorious Leader or his teleprompter. Ok, he DID say he was happy about the return of the captain. Too bad there was nothing in there about TERRORISTS or our policy to eradicate them from the earth.

The House and Senate approved budgets of about $3.5 trillion for the government on Thursday with no Republican support, a sign of deep partisan tensions likely to color Congressional efforts to enact major policy initiatives sought by President Obama.
On the heels of House approval of its spending plan for 2010, the Senate voted 55 to 43 shortly before midnight to adopt a similar budget after a day spent laboring over politically tinged amendments that did little to change a fiscal blueprint generally in keeping with Mr. Obama’s ambitious agenda.
So there we have it. This congress has just spent more money in one shot that the entirety of budgets since the United States was founded. They are spending so much money that France and Germany say we are spending too much money. I fear for my nation’s future, because with everything that is contained in the proposal our economy is going to be driven into the sewer. Nationalized Health Care, Nationalized Banks, Nationalized Auto Industry, Nationalized Energy, deep cuts in the military; if you are not having buyer’s remorse at voting for Glorious Leader you are stupid and foolish. He has managed to accomplish in less than three months what the Soviet Union had been trying to do for decades- he has brought us to the brink of destruction.
I don’t mean armageddon, fire and flames, holocaust destruction. I mean something much worse. I mean that everything that our fathers and forefathers have done to make this the greatest nation on the planet is being erased. Our liberties are vanishing under the proposal of a global government. Our constitution will no longer give us our sovereignty, but rather it will relegate it to the status of a ‘local guideline’ by which we make our local laws.
Empty Suit and his fellow conspirators are driving the bus to TransNationalization faster than anyone ever imagined. Nationalized Banks, Nationalized Health Care, Nationalized Auto Industry, Nationalized Energy, deep cuts in defense spending, soon our laws and edicts will be under the scrutiny of a world body and if they do not like it, we will adapt to meet with their satisfaction. It is coming. The winds are ripe with the smell of rot and decay and the Eagle is choking back the tears in an effort to stay aloft. I pray for God to help us; and the scary thing is that I asy it with the utmost sincerity. Gird your loins, brother, the buss is barreling towards the intersection.

Glorious Leader has sent his resident tax-cheat-in-charge out to pump us up regarding the next phase of the unbeatable plan to ruin our economy. “The latest attempt to tackle the banking crisis and get loans flowing to families and businesses will create a new government entity, the Public-Private Investment Program, to help purchase as much as $1 trillion in toxic assets on banks’ books.” says FOX news.
Is it me? Or are the idiots in congress just completely clueless about things? The problem is not a lack of money out there, it is a lack of trust. Get people doing things that business and industry feels will work, and watch things begin to turn around. All that is going to happen is runaway inflation. Why can a retired enlisted guy with just a community college education see it, but movers and shakers of the financial world cannot?
The answer? They can.
If you read what foreign papers (and even Time magazine) you will see that behind the scenes, banks and financial powerhouses are trying to force the world into a globally run banking industry.
Russia and others want a new, global currency where the entire world pays into. What does this mean for us? We would be paying taxes to a global government made up of financial corporations and banks. Instead of your tax dollars helping California (a bad thing if you live in Florida anyway) it would go to help, say, Poland, or the U.K. or Kenya. We would be at the mercy of institutions like the UN or Bilderberg.
Did you attend the Orlando, Florida Tea Party? If you did, then you know as well as I that the highlight was not the host Bud Hedinger, or internet radio blogette Andrea Shae King, any of the many fine speakers gathered, nor even Lloyd Marcus, creator of the theme song An American Tea Party.
No, what was most exciting was the Freedom Forum, where average, everyday people got the chance to stand up and make their voices heard. There were many passionate and patriotic speeches made (each one within the thirty second time limit) but in my opinion there was one that took the cake.
Nine year old Chelsi stood up there and proudly stated her case, “I’m an nine year old girl. I don’t have a job yet. So stop taking my money when I haven’t even earned it yet!”
A raucous crowd of some 5,000 erupted into cheers at that simple statement and my own heart filled with pride. It was, after all, my own daughter who had made the comment. I could not have felt more pride in my child than I did right then (though I have to admit I am proud of all of my children in every thing they do).
The event was a massive success, I believe, and we were sad to have to leave about a half-hour before the closing ceremony. Even so, the comraderie I felt with all of those gathered was extremely moving and I had the sense that this was the beginning of the revolution I have so proudly tagged in the closing of all of my blog posts.
If you did not attend, never fear. There are many places to meet like-minded fellows and I am hopeful that these first seeds of dissent will spark many others to have similar, if a bit smaller, events. Every journey begins with a single step, and the Orlando Tea Party was one great step today.
UPDATE: As promised, the video of Chelsi telling it like it is:

This image explains exactly what the issue is with the United States. We want everything now, now, now; we cannot wait. We must spend, spend, spend to get that glorious stuff that makes us feel good.
Get up from the couch and get out and DO something! (This includes me.)

As reported on 2/16/2009, FoxNews (via Sean Hannity) reported on roughly 35 para-military training facilities located throughout the United States.
Their ‘sheikh’ hails from their parent group in Pakistan. Watch the segment and tell me that our country is not headed for a major incident; if not between liberals and conservatives, then between foreign nationals and red-blooded hillbillies.
