It’s all there in the polls if we’re willing to use it. Obama’s policies are not that popular. Americans oppose closing Gitmo 2 to 1. Americans oppose government control of the auto companies. Americans don’t favor national healthcare. Americans think the country’s debt is a huge problem. But it’s like we’re a bunch of teenage girls swooning over the school bully even though he pulls our pigtails and steals our lunch money. We have to stop saying, “Just give him a chance.” From this day forward, we need to start holding Obama responsible for his actions. LINK

If the Air France crash was terrorism would Obama tell us?
Obama wants us to think all of America’s enemies are friends and all our friends are enemies. Can we really trust him to tell us if there was an act of terrorism? I’m just sayin’…

Where’d my $27 billion go?
Remember a few months ago? GM is too big to fail. We can’t let them go into bankruptcy. Just think about all the jobs that would be lost. We have to give them $27 billion quick or it’s going to sink our economy. Well, the economy sunk anyway, GM went under anyway, and nobody cares about the little people who lost their jobs. So, where’d all that tax money go? Why isn’t the government held responsible for its failures? Where are the Senate hearings? Where are the media probes? And … Hey, look! Obama and Michelle went on date! Michelle has her hair up! What were we talking about? LINK

Slain Abortionist Used As Excuse for More Government Oppression
On the heels of the clumsy release of the DHS Domestic Extremism Lexicon, Janet Napolitano and the rest of BHO’s administration were perversely vindicated by the murder of Dr. George Tiller. The National Organization for Women has already called upon Attorney General Eric Holder to treat this crime as politically-motivated domestic terrorism. And, here’s an hysterical commentator calling for a ban on free speech. Can frenzied cries for gun control be far off? While the “pro-choice” folks mourn the late-term abortion of Dr. Tiller, TDI suggests you brace yourself for a lusty assault on your liberty. LINK

Words of the Day
The terms federalism and statism can be confusing because they kind of sound like the opposite of what they are. Federalists are for limited national government and more powerful state rights. Statists are for an all-powerful national government. The Constitution established America as a federalist nation. This is the form of government that conservatives support. Liberals support statism because it gives them more power to ruin our lives. So, now you know.
FEDERALISM: A system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units (or, states).
STATISM: The principle or policy of concentrating extensive economic and political controls in centralized government at the cost of individual liberty.

Commies, Global Warming Offer Smokescreen for Embattled Pelosi
Tired of facing icky questions about briefings, the CIA and waterboarding, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ran off to China to blow hot air about global warming. Or climate change. Or whatever they’re calling it these days. Usually a sharp critic of China for their dismal human rights record, Speaker Pelosi set those differences aside in a nauseating display of enviro-pandering. LINK Hopefully, Chinese leaders enjoyed their meeting with their former foe. For as things heat up for Pelosi at home, one can only hope she never has the opportunity to return to China, or anywhere else as House Speaker. LINK

Conservatives: The New Oppressed Minority
The media, politicians and leftists prejudge us. They openly malign us. They shut us out. They want to silence our only voice – talk radio. Face it. We are the new oppressed minority. But just like civil rights activists, we will not accept our second tier citizenship. We must go on offense. We must educate the American people. We must win them over our side. We demand a place at the table! We shall overcome! I have a dream! Okay, then… LINK

Why We Must Oppose Sotomayor
As always, Rush is right about this. If we don’t oppose the nomination of a judge who has a 60% reversal rate on her decisions, who thinks of the Constitution as an obstacle, then the Republican Party is already extinct. It’s not about keeping her from being seated, it’s about revealing what Obama really thinks about the role of the judiciary. Oppose and expose! That should be the new Republican mantra. LINK While you’re at Rush’s site, also refresh yourself on Obama’s view of the courts in his own words. LINK

Obama Spends Memorial Day Playing Golf
After a few brief remarks at Arlington, Obama slinked away to spend most of the day playing golf. Don’t you love a President who has his priorities straight? LINK

***A Star is Born***
Holy crap! What is it with the Cheneys? They are on fire. Dick’s daughter Liz absolutely cleans the floor with that doofus Lawrence O’ Donnell. She points out that Obama’s own attorney general admits there is no legal basis to claim that water boarding is torture. So calm and cool and smart. Fire up those bumper sticker machines today – Cheney/Palin in 2012! LINK

Obama doesn’t know Dick
Big O thinks he can bad mouth America and no one will fire back. Well, he doesn’t know Mr. Cheney very well, does he? He laid out the facts about the supposed torture issue and how Obama is making us all less safe. As long as Cheney’s pacemaker keeps ticking we can count on at least one brave republican standing up for what’s right. LINK

“The government is stealing my business.”
Obama bankrupted Chrysler and illegally gave 55% of the company to the auto union. Now, he is forcing dealers, even successful ones like Jim Anderer, to hand over their businesses to the government. No wonder he gets along so well with Hugo Chavez. He’s the newest member of the international dictator’s club. LINK

Success Is So Last Year
At the ASU commencement, Obama told the graduates to give up on their goals. Having a successful career is selfish. That sort of thing is only acceptable for elites like himself and Oprah. Now, shut up and eat your government cheese before he throws you in the gulag! LINK
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Obama Does Something Right. Say, What?
Obama reversed his earlier stupid decision to release supposed torture photos. Should we give him credit for doing his first smart thing since taking office? Yes, we shall. (But don’t worry. We can always reverse our decision “upon further reflection.”) LINK

Obama’s Plan for GM: CHINA
Way to go Michigan! You voted for the Big O and look where you are 9 months later. GM is down for the count and Obama is shipping your jobs to his commie bros in China. And you thought the stimulus plan was to stimulate American jobs. Poor suckers. LINK

***Hero of the Moment***
Cheney says, “It would be a mistake for us to moderate. This is about fundamental beliefs and values and ideas…” Think those dopes on the Republican listening tour will listen to Uncle Dick? Doubtful. LINK UPDATE: The bravest man in America is on a roll. He points out that the country is less safe under Obama. And that he prefers Rush to Colin. KA-POW!!

Big O Wants a Justice Who is “Gay, Black, Female and Empathizes with the Disenfranchised.”
In a 2007 interview, Obama laid out the qualities that he’s looking for in a Supreme Court Justice. He criticizes the Constitution as negative rights that don’t tell us what we “can” do. Thinks Marshall court “wasn’t really that radical.” That it could have gone much further in efforts to redistribute wealth. LINK

TDI hopes this is the start of a trend. We now have another republican brave enough to call out Obama on his actions. No. 2 House Republican Eric Cantor is openly comparing Obama to Putin. He sites the way Obama is acting to limit CEO pay and the way he unlawfully handed GM to his political cronies. Cantor goes on to predict that Republicans will take back the house in 2010 after more of the President’s subversive agenda is revealed. Fight the power, people! 
Has anyone seen GM’s new 60 second propaganda piece disguised as a commercial? Lots of sprouting flowers, windmills, solar panels floating by in a pointless montage that has nothing to do with cars. Meanwhile, the voice-over sounds like BHO wrote it himself. “We made mistakes, we were too big, too greedy, but we’re starting a new chapter, greener, leaner, bla-bla-bla.” It makes me want to throw-up. If this is any sign of how the government plans to make-over GM, I can’t wait to not buy the trashcans on wheels they design.
