What Ever Happened to the First Amendment?

Before I get to deep into anything, let’s rewind to 2006, where Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi held a town hall meeting. Click on the link to view the events that took place. (Reminder – president in office = George Bush)  >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3vauUPUAa0 <<

Since I know only a very small percentage of people who will even read this article won’t take the time to click and/or watch the link, here is a quick recap of the video. Ms. Pelosi is speaking to a group of anti-war protestors who you can clearly see are passionate about voicing there opinions about what they believe. In fact some people in the video actually get angry and shout and wave their arms around while Nancy Pelosi is trying to speak. Does Ms. Pelosi get angry? Nope, in fact she the whole time she is speaking to this group, she is telling them how great it is as Americans to exercise your first amendment and question the government. In fact, she goes as far as telling the crowd that she “loves the disruptors” and “love the fact they want change.”

So far, all in all, I agree with what Pelosi is saying. It is great to live in a country in which you can…and should…question your government. My problem with this corrupted politician is the double standard that she, and many other Democrats in our government use. Don’t know what I’m talking about?

Now once again I’m sure many people won’t take the time to read the article, so recap…

Fast-forward 3 years to another town hall meeting were Ms. Pelosi is speaking to a group of Health-Reform protestors who you can clearly see are passionate about voicing there opinions about what they believe. The problem here is instead of agreeing with and “loving” the disruptors, she speaks of these people as “Un-American.”

Which brings me to the reason I’m writing this note…

In three…say it with me now…THREE short years, Nancy Pelosi has went from being all about the First Amendment (props to her) to attacking people for doing what she (at one point) was such a great, heroic thing. My question is, what’s different, what made her change her opinions of these heroic “disruptors”?  Hm….think Josh, think….what could it be?……Oh that’s right, We have a different president. Of course, I can’t believe that slipped my mind. But what I still don’t get is how now that a Democrat is in office, Republicans are no longer allowed to exercise there First Amendment rights anymore, as the Democrats did with President Bush in office.

People, look up these facts and TRY to prove me wrong. During the Bush years, people EVERYWHERE enjoyed mocking, sneering at, booing during his speeches, portraying him as a Nazi, protesting against, etc. Did these people have a right to do that? OF COURSE THEY DID. THAT’S THE BEAUTY OF THIS FREE AND GREAT COUNTRY. And though MANY people acted on their right to voice their opinion, now that we changed presidents, non-supports of Obama’s liberal agenda are being depicted as EVIL and UN-AMERICAN.  Isn’t it funny how when the Democrats did it to President Bush, no one in the government lashed out at these people? Because honestly, they had no right lash out at them. Politicians should accept that criticism is part of the job, and that is why you didn’t find anyone bashing or be-littling people who opposed President Bush. (now don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about just people or news commentators here….I’m talking about “Professional” Politicians).

Then why is that we (as Republicans and some Blue-Dog Democrats) who oppose President Obama are getting singled out, slandered, accused, and be-littled, BY THOSE ONCE VOCAL DEMOCRATS IN OFFICE!?

Don’t believe still? On top of Pelosi’s “Un-American” comment, Harry Reid (Democrat Majority Leader in Congress) expressed his view on us (the people who oppose hthhe Health-care reform) as Evil Mongers. I’m sorry…what was that, an evil monger? No sir, just because I don’t believe everything Obama says is true, DOESN’T make we evil.

How about all of the latest RACIST talk? I can’t even begin to list the amount of people (speaking of politicians) who have called us racist. According to former president Jimmy Carter (AND MANY MANY MANY OTHERS), all this uprising against Obama’s policies is strictly based on racism. Well let me just make one thing clear. First, let me say, I don’t rule out the racist thing completely, for I understand that there are still close minded people out there who hate black people. HOWEVER….FOR THE MOST PART, people are rising up against Obama BECAUSE THEY CARE ABOUT WHAT IS GONG TO HAPPEN TO THEM, NOT BECAUSE HE’S BLACK. As someone who attended the National Taxpayer’s March On Washington in September 12, 2009, I didn’t see anyone being racist. What I saw was 1.5 MILLION PEOPLE gathering PEACEFULLY, but trying to make the point clear that they do NOT support President Obama’s policies. However, according to the liberals…we were all there because we hate blacks. Well guess what…I do dislike Mr. Obama very much. But I dislike him because I think his policies are going to cripple this country beyond repair….NOT BECAUSE HE’S BLACK! I can give two craps what color he is….he could be Orange and Purple for all I care, it isn’t going to change my beliefs.

So please, next time any one wants to accuse me of something because I don’t agree with Obama…please think about the double standard here, and make sure you feel real proud of yourself.  What’s fair for one should be fair for another. So with that being said, I come to my conclusion…

I WILL GIVE YOUR PRESIDENT THE SAME REPECT YOU GAVE MINE!

I’m Josh Leone, telling you America, speak the truth, and never back dow

Obama’s Dissapointments (Part 1)

So for the record, the last political post that I wrote on facebook was a a letter to Mr. Obama, telling him that America has spoken and I would respect him as my new president…and give him a a chance before I start harassing him again. And since then I’ve remained quiet amidst the corruption that has alreasy surrounded the Obama adimnistration even though they havent even started yet. (i.e Illinois governor wanting to SELL Obama’s senate seat….. Obama’s pick for secretary of commerce under federal investigation then resigns….Obama’s pick as SECRETARY of the Treasury is in trouble for tax evasion and owes $34,000 in back taxes).

BUT ANYWAYS….the reason for THIS note is the amount of spending that is being done for Mr. Obama’s Inaugural party. The latest figures have it at $160 MILLION. Lets put this amount in retrospect ok? President Bush’s last inauguration cost about $42 Million and even worst President Clinton’s was about $33 Million!

OK so 33 is < 42 is way < 160

Lets not forget that one thing…what was it?….o ya people are losing jobs left and right because we’re in the biggest recession since the Great Depression. So why not spend $160 million on yourself right? WRONG! What happened to spreading the wealth? Oh ya this party comes after you and your family went on a vacation to one of the Most Expensive resorts …. IN THE WORLD. Don’t you think you spent enough on yourself?

So in conclusion….whether you are an Obama supporter or not…i find this to be quite a disappointment. I mean if I was him with the economy the way it is….I would do the bare minimum and put that money toward some of these NEW BAILOUTS that are being proposed instead of using the tax payers money for the bailouts. But who am I right?

Well thank you very much Pres Obama, Remember… keep spreading the wealth…unless it’s your own!

Obama’s Dilema – Part. 1 (Obama, Biden helped keep Bridge to Nowhere)

Although Democratic vice presidential Joe Biden routinely mocks his Republican counterpart, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, for her onetime support of the infamous “Bridge to Nowhere,” Biden and his running mate voted to keep the project alive TWICE.

                                

             ”Psst…Holy crap Joe, they’re starting to catch onto us”

Yes Both of them voted to keep the project alive…not once, but twice!

What’s even worse is that the two voted to kill a Senate amendment that would have diverted federal funding for the bridge to repair a Louisiana span badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina, Senate records show.

Both Obama and Biden voted for the final transportation bill that included the $223 million earmark for the Alaska project.

An amendment offered by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma, would have stripped the money appropriated to connect the Alaskan coastal city of Ketchikan to its airport on sparsely populated Gravina Island and diverted the money to Louisiana when it needed it most…AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA!

But Biden and Obama and 80 of their colleagues rejected the measure, an amendment to a massive 2005 transportation bill that funded thousands of projects across the country.

“That is probably the most disturbing element of this and the campaigning on the Bridge to Nowhere,” said Bill Allison of the Sunlight Foundation, a taxpayer watchdog group. “Because, yes, they had a chance to vote SPECIFICALLY AGAINST the Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska to redirect the money to people, to bridges and infrastructure damaged by Hurricane Katrina going in to New Orleans, and they chose not to.”

PERSONALLY…I find this quite amusing other than suprising. This isnt the first time that Obama has critisized his opponent about doing or not doing something before letting the public know that he HIMSELF did/didnt do THE SAME FREAKING THING. hahahahaha

Obama…Just as sneaky as Hillary

Obama the

Plagarist

So He’s Not Hillary… But Just As Bad?

Look Closely At This Picture. Do You See Anything Wrong With It?

If you need a hint, this picture was taken at an event while the National Anthem was being played. Still don’t got it? Ok, look… in case you don’t know, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama Jr, is a presidential candidate for the upoming elections. He wans to be the the next PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. So my question is, why won’t he put his hand over his heart to show some respect. Wouldn’t you think this should be something you make sure you do to show some respect for the country that you want to hopefully run someday? But the debate is that; 1.)Did he just forget to do it (aka shows how ignorant and dumb he is) or 2.) Does this man have other ambitions behind it.

Here are facts that support both arguments.

1.) Obama forgetting things and making a fool out of him seems like it just comes natural for him. If I remember right, at one of the first Democratic debates, Mr. Obama accused all the other candidates of being flip/flops on the War in Iraq, then stating how he was the only candidate that did not vote for the War. The problem with that though is…….HE WASN’T EVEN A SENATOR YET when the war started. Of course he didn’t vote for the war….he couldn’t.

2) Other ambitions???? I mean some people are jumping to the conclusion that Barrack Obama (or Osama Obama which some people say) is a Muslim terrorist. I’m not going to go that far, but I do wonder what he has against placing his hand over his heart during the National Anthem…o ya and the Pledge of Allegiance . Another thing i wonder about is why did he stop wearing his USA flag pin shortly after 9/11? I mean he did for a little while then took it off. And to this day, he is the only Presidential candidate (Republican and Democrat) who is/will not wear one. Why? Why not?

So do me a favor and ponder these thoughts before you step behind that curtain and flip the little switch for who you want to become our next commander-in-chief.
