Shame On You, General Dempsey

We have had about enough from Joints Chief Chairman Lt Gen Martin Dempsey. He is a disgrace to the uniformed services.

Dempsey trying to shut down Veterans Free Speech. Earlier this year, which we reported on, a group of military special operations veterans formed a group called "OPSEC" from which to critize President Obama over Obama taking credit in killing Osama bin Laden and for the repeated leaks of classified information coming from his Administration intended to support Obama political goals.

In an interview with Fox News, Dempsey said: “If someone uses the uniform, whatever uniform, for partisan politics, I am disappointed because I think it does erode that bond of trust we have with the American people.” Hopefully Dempsey isn't a total idiot. He has to realize that these veterans, now out of uniform and out of the active military are not longer bound by the Hatch Act and have their full first admentment rights restored. This group of veterans, again called OPSEC, are the patriots,.....standing up for what is right and rallying against what is wrong, while Dempsey keeps to his own political agenda trying to supress derogatory information about the Obama Administration. Dempsey also said that such veteran's political commentary "confuses the people".  What!?!?

All of this follows General Dempsey rebuking Republican Congressman Ryan for suggesting the military leadership had concerns about President Obama's new goal of another $400 billion in cuts to free up money for domestic spending. Well, someone, and in this case it is Congressman Ryan, had to stand up for the defense of this country since you are doing it.  Shame on you General Dempsey.

Perpetuating the Generals Club. Several Army Generals have been in the news in a derogatory fashion recently. being investigated for various crimes.

First it was General William “Kip” Ward, the General in charge of the Africa Command, caught reimbursing himself for personal travel expenses, taking his wife on military aircraft without sufficient justification and allowing his wife to use a government vehicle without authorization.  Additionally, General Ward reportedly spent $18,500 on mementos to give as gifts at his change-of-command ceremony, accepted free meals and tickets to a Broadway show from a prohibited source, and committed other related violations. 

Secondly Army Brig. General Jeffrey Sinclair, of the 18th Airborne Corps, is accused of having inappropriate relationships with several female subordinates, including forced sodomy. Additionally, Sinclair is up on charges of violating an order, possessing pornography and alcohol while deployed, misusing a government travel charge card and filing fraudulent claims. General Dempsey thinks that General Sinclair should be allowed to retire at his full rak with full benefits. This not only looks like it, but it is perpetuating the Generals Club where these politicians in uniform (we cannot call them warriors, because warriors have an ethos) cover up for each other. Shame on you General Dempsey. If this was an enlisted soldier, you would have his ass.

Supporting Radical Islam over this Country's security. As if covering for his General buddies and trying to supress free speech of veterans wasn't enough, General Dempsey under presure from some 57 Muslim Organizations, shut down a class taught at the Joint Forces Staff College that presented Islam in a negative way.

Earlier this year, Army Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Dooley was condemned by the Joints Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and relieved of his duties teaching classes at the Joint Forces Staff College because these Muslim Organizations petitioned General Dempsey and Dempsey rolled over on his back for them and had Dooley and the anti-Islam class removed.

Not only that, but Lt. Col. Dooley, a highly decorated combat veteran with nearly 20 years of service, received a bad evaluation so his career is effectively ended.

These facts come out after General Dempsey reportedly bad mouthed Dooley on a C-SPAN interview and after it had been revealed that this course taught by Dooley had been previously approved by the the Joint Forces Staff College.

Following Obama's Lead in Pushing Israel Away. Finally, Dempsey steps on it again when he made the comments to the effect , "I don't want to be complicit if Israel choose to attack Iran (to stop their nucelar weapons program)." Some commentators are asking Dempsey to explain these comments, which he has yet to do, and have asked the meaning of his use of the word "complicit". Complicit? As in what? Complicit as in undermining what the Muslim Community wants you to do? After all they were pretty effective in getting you (Dempsey) into standing up for radical Islam by shutting down the course on radical Islam and throwing a decorated officer, Lt. Col. Dempsey to the wolves. Again, shame on you General Dempsey.

Obama's Biggest Mistake

President Obama, while pandering,..err,...while campaigning to the Hispanic vote on Univision said that his biggest mistake was not getting immigration reform passed during his first four years in office.

Really? He did not even float an immigration reform plan, unlike George Bush who presented a plan but was rebuffed by Congress. His biggest mistake was not getting immigration reform passed?

In the shadow of high unemployment, manufacturing jobs leaving the United States,.....decreasing quality of life for all Americans,....decreasing value of the dollar,....increasing fuel and food prices,.....welfare rolls and numbers of Americans on poverty increasing,........ and this clown say's his biggest mistake was not passing immigration reform?

When pressed on breaking his previous promise to Hispanics to get immigration reform (read "open borders") passed, Obama could not even take individual responsibility for the obvious broken promise, saying "He was "naive" and was road blocked by the Republicans." Really? When you had overwhelming control of both the House and the Senate for the first two years?

And another thing is most of the people watching the video only have eyes and ears for Obama saying something about changing Government from the outside,...oh yeah, that's another promise. Here's part of that Univision interview,..listen closely for the "My Biggest mistake was not enacting Immigration reform."

This Week's Political Rollup

Presidential Debate. All the cockroaches certainly came out of woodwork after Romney smashed Obama Wednesday night at the first Presidential Debate. DNC Communications Chief Brad Woodhouse said that "Romney was lying". Al Gore, a failed human being, attributed Obama "not being on a his A game" because of the altitude (less oxygen) of Denver - the debate site.  The Democrats cannot debate on the facts, nor Obama's record.  They rely soley on attack politics to take the voters focus away from the facts.  

Obama's Failed Economy. Califonia gas prices all time high. The price of gasoline hit an all time high in California of $4.61 a gallon Saturday, fueled by a reduced supply and a volatile market. There are reports of gas as high at $5.80 in many California locations.

Obama say's one thing but his policies, restrictions and his regulatory happy Adminstration is doing something else all together, and that is mortgaging our national security and lowering our standard of living by refusing to leverage our national energy assets...instead relying on importing our energy needs. Instead he throws billions of dollars, $90 billion in fact, into failed alternative energy sources owned by his campaign contributors. And we now pay twice as much for gasoline as we did when he took office.

Unemployment. The Obama Administration comes out with new unemployment numbers, just three days after his debacle on stage at the Presidential debates and 30 days before the General Election. Wow, talk about good timing. He say's the unemployment rate has dropped from 8.1% to 7.8% and of course if using this figure as "proof" that his economic principles are working. Really?

There are less people working today desite the new 7.8% unemployment rate than the lowest number of workers during the 8 year Bush Administration, why is that if Obama's policies are working?

Most economists were expecting a slight rise in the unemployment rate, so the number has raised suspicions that the White House might be cooking the books ahead of the election next month. Then we find out that actual public sector lost over 5,000 jobs and the "rise" in jobs was due to a projection of additional government jobs,.....yes, a projection.

And then Breitbart.com reports that while only 114,000 jobs were created in September--which would have translated into a rise in unemployment from 8.1% to 8.2%--the unemployment rate fell dramatically to 7.8%. That unusual drop is the fastest in nearly three decades and one reason was the rise was an upward revision of 86,000 to the July and August jobs numbers--all of which came from a 91,000 increase in the estimate of public sector jobs.

Of course, the Obama Adminstration is not including the 2.5 million people who have stopped looking for work - because there is none to be found; the 12 million who are under employed working for wages far below their education and experience level and the 8.8 million who can only find part time work.

Shame on you Obama - you promised you would be a one term President if you didn't make things better - now you have made them worse. Keep you promise and leave office.

Libyan Consulate attacks. In yet another example that Obama has taken the reputation of the U.S. to an all time low, and after trying to convince the American people that the Libyan Consulate attack was caused by a spontaneous demonstration gone violent rather than a planned, well armed terrorist attack on the anniversary of 9-11, not to mention a follow-on investigations that didn't get started for three weeks allowing Libyans and even news groups to ravage the site and scoop up classfified information,.....now e-mail's and employee reports are coming to light about the Libyan Consulate's repeated requests for additional security which was denied by Hillary's State Dept and the Obama Administration.

In fact there was a Special Forces team in Libya providing security and assessing the threat. They were removed before the 9-11 anniversary and after their repeated requests for additional security measures, which were not fulfilled.

Coming on the heels of Obama's foreign policy blunder of a giant magnitude when he received Muslim Brotherhood members to the White House and refused to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, one cannot come to any other conclusion that we do indeed have an amateur in the White House. Let's send him back to Chicago.
