1. It’s official, as 8 more American lives were lost last night, October has become the deadliest month on record in Afghanistan. More lives have been lost this month than 8 years ago when the United States invaded the country. Our troops continue to pay with their lives over Obama’s ineptness and lack of leadership. His dereliction of duty is causing a rapid deterioration in the morale of our troops and in the confidence of the Afghan people. Will his supporters continue to blame Bush for Obama’s failure to act? Will they continue to make excuses while our soldiers are left to die? Will they ever put our men and women, our sons and daughters before party loyalty? Sadly, I’m afraid not.
2. Just when you thought there wasn’t anymore that a liberal could think of to control our lives they come up with something else. Liberals are back at it with global warming and chief among them is the Climate chief. According to Lord Stern, people need to stop eating beef and pork and become vegetarians. You see, the methane gas produced by cows and pigs is a major contributor to man-made global warming. Pass the broccoli mom.
3. Remember when New York Democrats decided that it might be wise to raise taxes to pay for the budget shortfall and Republicans argued that raising taxes would actually cause a decline in revenue? Are you wondering which side was proved right? Click here to find out.
4. Liberals love to repackage and relabel. For example, an illegal alien is called an undocumented worker. See, it’s much easier for a liberal to defend and build support for a “worker” than for someone who’s breaking the law. So is it any surprise that Pelosi would want to change the name of the public option to the consumer option? She could put as much lipstick on that pig as she wants, but it is still a pig.
5. Heading 10 months into the Obama presidency and his promise of change, how’s consumer confidence? After all, with nearly 1.5 trillion in new government spending in 10 months, surely the economy as been given a kick start and consumer confidence has gotten a boost. Maybe not. Consumer confidence declined in October as more American worry about their jobs and salaries. What? Health-care isn’t the most pressing issue of our time?
And that’s my news round-up for October 27, 2009.
