AMERICAN CONSERVATISM IN 2008 AND BEYOND

http://www.redstate.com/erick/2009/12/29/the-obama-administration-gives-interpol-more-favorable-rights-than-american-law-enforcement-agencies/
For no discernible reason whatsoever, last Wednesday when no one was looking, Barack Obama signed an executive order giving all immunities of foreign powers to Interpol.

In other words, Interpol is now in a better position than any American law enforcement institution that operates on American soil. It cannot have its records searched or seized and it is not subject to the restraints of sunshine and transparency that FOIA requests can bring.

At a time when Obama is worried about ensuring the rights of terrorists against the abuses of the American government, he has no problem surrendering American rights to an arm of the United Nations.
This is extremely important because it comports with Barack Obama’s world view in ways harmful to American sovereignty. Obama has said repeatedly that he views no nation as greater than any other nation. He has said repeatedly that one nation should not be able to impose its will on another. He applies this even to the United States.

In Barack Obama’s world, the United States is no better and no worse than Iran, China, North Korea, or Kenya. In his world view, we are all players on an international stage with the United Nations as the leader. Therefore, while Obama will not give up American sovereignty to Peru, he is perfectly happy to give up sovereignty to the United Nations.

The man is not just an amateur. He is also a damnably naive fool.

This is also a backdoor to the International Criminal Court (”ICC”). The United States chose, before Obama took office, to avoid the ICC. Interpol has become the law enforcement arm of the ICC. By taking away the limits to Interpol’s immunity in the United States, Barack Obama has freed the organization up to conduct criminal investigations of individuals inside the United States on behalf of the ICC without any of us knowing about it.

And who does the ICC want to investigate? The lawyers, CIA operatives, and soldiers who have defended the United States in the War on Terror by setting up GTMO and prosecuting the war. These men and women now have yet another deterrent to keep them from being fully effective " the fear of an international criminal investigation that they don’t even know about.

How many Americans will get killed because of the policies Barack Obama is employing to undermine our safety and security in a dangerous world?

On Wednesday, however, for no apparent reason, President Obama issued an executive order removing the Reagan limitations. That is, Interpol's property and assets are no longer subject to search and confiscation, and its archives are now considered inviolable. This international police force (whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law while it operates in the United States and affects both Americans and American interests outside the United States.

WASHINGTON, July 21, 2009 " Venture capitalists invested $3.7 billion in 612 deals
in the second quarter of 2009, according to the MoneyTree™ Report from
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) and the National Venture Capital Association
(NVCA), based on data provided by Thomson Reuters. Quarterly investment activity
increased 15 percent in terms in dollars and remained essentially flat in number of deals
as compared to the first quarter of 2009 when $3.2 billion was invested in 603 deals.
Based upon the $6.9 billion invested during the first half of 2009, the annual total for the
full year will most likely mirror the venture investing levels seen in 1996 and 1997 when
annual investment levels ranged from $11 billion to $14 billion.

This is essentially an argument for economic feudalism. No thanks.

Rush Limbaugh 'resting comfortably' after being rushed to Honolulu hospital with chest pains

"The man is not just an amateur. He is also a damnably naive fool."

"...taking away the limits to Interpol’s immunity in the United States, [therefore] Barack Obama has freed the organization up to conduct criminal investigations of individuals inside the United States on behalf of the ICC without any of us knowing about it."

"... who does the ICC want to investigate? The lawyers, CIA operatives, and soldiers who have defended the United States in the War on Terror by setting up GTMO and prosecuting the war. "

I predict a Republican gain of 15-20 seats in the House, simply because the Dems have expanded as far as reasonably possible, have a lot of ground to defend, and also due to historical patterns and traditions. In the Senate, I predict a Republican gain of 2-4 seats for the same reasons; both houses will remain solidly under Democratic control.

I went back and read some of Carter’s words and was stunned by his lack of knowledge of the Constitution or even a basic understanding of what is really going on here.

Here is the stunner.. the Judge is truly preaching to the liberal loonies when he made this statement:

Judge Carter wrote:

There may very well be a legitimate role for the judiciary to interpret whether the natural born citizen requirement has been satisfied in the case of a presidential candidate who has not already won the election and taken office. However, on the day that President Obama took the presidential oath and was sworn in, he became president of the United States. Any removal of him from the presidency must be accomplished through the Constitution’s mechanisms for the removal of a president, either through impeachment or the succession process set forth in the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.
