Chavez is slowly transforming Venezuela into a dictatorship and imprisoning his people. So what does Obama do? He shakes his hand!

U.S. President Barack Obama greets his Venezuela counterpart Hugo Chavez as Uruguayan President Tabare Vazquez (L) looks on before the opening ceremony of the 5th Summit of the Americas in Port of Spain April 17, 2009.

At least Obama didn’t bow! I wonder what other dictators will think of this?

Documentarian Critical of Obama and Media Arrested for Asking Questions

The U.S. is looking more like Venezuela every day!

Documentary filmmaker John Ziegler, who blew the lid on how ill-informed Obama voters were and whose current film Media Malpractice describes describes how the “news” media helped Obama and targeted Sarah Palin, was arrested and manhandled by security personnel outside an event honoring journalistic excellence at the University of Southern California.

This is what you can expect if you dare to ask questions in the age of Obama:

Meanwhile, perhaps readers will recall that three years ago security personnel at the University of California at Santa Cruz were unable to prevent an angry violent mob of anti-war protesters from forcing military recruiters off campus despite the fact that university officials knew about the threat well in advance.

The lesson here is that liberal academics view free speech for conservatives and military recruiters as a greater threat than the mobs of radicals who routinely act in ways that deny others the full exercise of their constitutional rights.

Janeane Garofalo: Hypocrite Extraordinaire

What do you call someone who would go against every belief system they have for money and fame? One word….take a guess?

For example, we have someone like Janeane Garofalo playing a part in the TV show 24 (a favorite of mine) which is quite conservative….while later she goes on TV decrying the fact that people dare to protest against our government….a government she NOW believes in.

And what do you know, in 2003 she was very firm in her belief that one should be proud of protesting against a government you don’t believe in: (h/t Redstate)

A liberal hypocrite…..shocking!

Or maybe she is just trying to relieve her jaw problem.
