Liberty and Obama

I am just saying doesn't this remind you of a certain someone who acts like a demagogue?

Obama's Plan for GITMO Detainees

I just read the article announcing Obama's plan on detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GITMO). I have mixed feelings about this, but until I read about more details I have a rather positive overall view so far. From what I understand Obama plans on releasing some people at GIMTO (problem the Uighers). Another group he will criminally prosecute in U.S. civilian courts. And here is what the article has said about the third group:

A third group of detainees — the ones whose cases are most entangled in highly classified information — might have to go before a new court designed especially to handle sensitive national security cases, according to advisers and Democrats involved in the talks. Advisers participating directly in the planning spoke on condition of anonymity because the plans aren't final.

I for one might have problems with Obama's plan for the thrid group of detainnes. Will U.S. citizens be tired in this new court as well? What are the due process rights for these individuals? Also, a new court implies that the U.S. civilian courts can't handle classified information. What about the pentagon papers in New York Times v. U.S.? Didn't civilian courts review that case? Not sure why Obama thinks it is necessary to establish a court for one group of detainees but use the civilian courts for another.

Why Obama and Democrats are wrong!

This is an old video but it is a great way to show why big government and socialistic principles are wrong.

Obama supporters already feeling let down:

"I want my money today! It's my money. I want it right now!" yelled one former campaign worker.

The large gathering of around 375 people prompted police to call in extra officers and set up temporary barricades....Eventually people did start getting paid, but some said they were missing hours and told to fill in paperwork making their claim and that eventually they would get a check in the mail.

"Still that's not right. I'm disappointed. I'm glad for the president, but I'm disappointed in this system," said Diane Jefferson.

Eerie, isn't it? Like looking into the future.

Obama Administration: Forcing Americans to Serve

Be afraid. Be very afraid of what this man will force upon you.

The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.
