Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. - Winston Churchill

Islam was born in the deserts of Arabia in the early seventh century. Islam is a revolutionary, totalizing political ideology masquerading as a religion. - Ellis Washington, 2010

  Bird-Brain Flu piece by Guest: David Coughlin

President Barack Obama is the poster child for the “Peter Principle,” being promoted once too many times to his level of incompetence.  Dr. Laurence J. Peter published his 1969 book entitled “The Peter Principle"(1) which described how people are promoted until they exceed their competence level, like Barack Obama. 

Other than getting himself elected to a succession of political offices, he appears to have a very limited range of abilities and no experience managing any organization to success.  This competence gap explains why in only a single year Obama has morphed from being a “messiah” into being a “pariah” as the President of our country.  The frequency of the apologies and backtracks the President and his cabinet have had to make demonstrates that they don’t seem to think before they speak or act.  The President likes to make promises but seems to have no serious intention to actually deliver on them.  Unfortunately Obama has surrounded himself with similarly incompetent personnel.

It’s funny how the media almost always use the word “unexpectedly” whenever they report this country’s state of affairs under the Obama administration.  The truth is that there’s nothing unexpected about the continued deterioration of the U.S. economy, the decline of our global standing as a country, and the impending defeat and demoralization of our armed forces fighting overseas, to name a few, as long as Obama and a democratic majority in Congress remain in power.  He seems to be immune to feedback, and brags about his stubbornness and refusal to give up on ObamaCare in the face of overwhelming public disapproval and the high cost of prolonging a hopeless endeavor. 

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows that 22% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President, while 41% Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -19!  Based on what we have seen thus far in 2010 we may very well see a Democrat electoral bloodbath in November, all because Obama did not know when to stop running for office!
