Obama?s ?Cash 4 Clunkers? rebate program aims to take your clunker off your hands in exchange for $3,500 - $4,500 cash towards a newer more gas-efficient auto ? as long as your clunker doesn?t get 18 miles to the gallon. But here?s the twist, the engines in these so-called ?clunkers? must be destroyed on the lot, by the dealer, before the government will pay the dealers.

So what?s occurring all around the country is that perfectly good cars that were driven to school, to the grocery store and to doctor?s appointments yesterday are being destroyed today.

Here?s a video documenting the destruction of a late model Volvo?s perfectly good engine. The dealer drains the oil and antifreeze from the Volvo, then a sodium silicate solution is poured into the engine. As the engine is revved, the solution solidifies into glass and the engine seizes up and blows.

As you watch this video, hopefully you?re not one of those moms who could use a perfectly good running car to take your kids to school, or to a doctor?s appointment. And I hope you don?t run a charitable organization that could have used that Volvo as a donation or a tax write off.

If you?re thinking this is a great incentive to get junk cars off the road, remember that, as with all government programs, this one also has the potential for abuse.

I hear that used car dealerships which normally sell cars for under $4,500 are now busy destroying the engines on those cars and turning the paperwork in to the government for reimbursement. Don?t believe me? Try buying a used car for under $4,500 anywhere in the city.

Just an example of more wastefulness courtesy of the Obama administration that we will end up paying for in the long run.

Thanks for this, Pred. A ton of ppl don't want to know the downside to government-run (insert failed bureaucracy here). I'm elated to see the people standing up for the Constitution.

I attended the New Haven, CT Tea Party on tax day this year not knowing how many would show and we had ove 2,000 people show just from word of mouth, Talk radio and the internet. They all were NOT all right wing nut jobs or left wing commies but therev were a few and we all had the same message for Washington, not only Obama.

I hang this next to the front door of my house

and don't give a fuck if the brownshirts show up to take me away.

We're taking our country back!!!

Al Qaeda conditional truce with Obama

Qaeda tells Obama conditional truce offer stands

Mon Aug 3, 9:05 am ET
DUBAI (Reuters) ? Al Qaeda's second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri said an offer the militant group made to the previous U.S. administration of a conditional truce is still on the table for President Barack Obama.

"If Obama wants to (reach) an understanding then he should respond to Sheikh Osama (bin Laden's) two offers," Zawahri said in an interview with al Qaeda's media arm As-sahab, posted on an Islamist website on Monday.

"Obama is trying to sell illusions to the ... weak," Zawahri said of Obama's campaign to ease tension with Muslims increased by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. "He is trying to say do not hate us .... but we will continue to kill you..."

Bin Laden said in 2006 "we do not mind offering a long-term truce based on just conditions that we will stand by ... a truce which offers security and stability and the rebuilding of Iraq and Afghanistan which war has destroyed."

The United States dismissed the offer, saying it "does not negotiate with terrorists."

It's mean spirited and dangerous

Obama 'Joker' Poster Causing a Stir in L.A.

LOS ANGELES -- A poster showing President Barack Obama as Heath Ledger's "Joker" character from "The Dark Knight" is creating a stir on the streets of Los Angeles where the image began appearing over the weekend.

The Obama-Joker poster shows President Obama with white face paint, dark eye shadow and smudged red lipstick and also has the word "socialism" printed in bold, dark letters under the image of his face.

It's unclear who created the image and who is posting it across the city. No one has taken credit so far.

Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson is calling the depiction, politically mean spirited and dangerous.

Hutchinson is challenging the group or individual that put up the poster to have the courage and decency to publicly identify themselves.

"Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery," says Hutchinson, "it is mean-spirited and dangerous."

"We have issued a public challenge to the person or group that put up the poster to come forth and publicly tell why they have used this offensive depiction to ridicule President Obama."

The poster has also gone viral online, crashing the website that first posted images of it and rising to the top of Google's "Today's Hot Trends" list.

All of the propaganda about Bush from the Left never crossed a line like this. I mean to depict the president as demonic and socialist is a million times worse than ANYTHING the left ever produced.

A poster is much more "dangerous" than a film right??????
