BREAKING: Senator Obama Disrupted Bush’s State of the Union Address
by Bill Levinson
The Democrats want to censure or reprimand Rep. Joe Wilson for interrupting Barack Obama’s health care speech by proclaiming “You lie!” He admittedly should not have done this even though Mr. Obama was in fact telling falsehoods. However, a reader at Free Republic just informed us that Barack Obama participated in disruption of President Bush’s State of the Union Address in 2006, when he and other Democrats stood to applaud their interference with the President’s Social Security reform efforts (begins at 45:50). We have a magnified screen shot below. Although two wrongs do not make a right, the Democrats should perhaps think twice about pursuing this further, noting that Barack Obama participated in similar disruption himself.
We live in a society where speaking factually is increasingly intolerable.
Joe Wilson is the little boy who dared notice the Emperor has no clothes, thereby violating a tacit agreement to pretend otherwise that was being observed by all “decent” (read: obedient) people.
In Soviet America, the reprobate who lied is now entitled to a coerced apology from the dissident who told the truth.
And the craven/gutless/emasculated Republican Party joins in the trashing of Wilson.
Tragically, Honest Joe capitulated to the pressure.
Understandable, but this was a golden opportunity for someone within the political establishment to commit heresy.
Wilson should have responded to the demands for an apology by issuing a demand of his own.
He should have insisted that the media apologize for its complicity in the fraud Obama is perpetrating upon the American people.
The establishment would have gone absolutely berserk, but Joe Wilson would now be the frontrunner for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination.

And this extends to telling the truth about how evil islam is. Our political “leaders” will not even dare to publically name the islamic jihadist enemy or acknowledge that we are at war with islam.

Even though the establishment won’t acknowledge this, the American people themselves know a fraud is being perpetrated on them and are increasingly expressing themselves as they are today in Washington.

Obama really is a pathological liar:
(CNSNews.com) - In his address to a joint session of Congress on Wednesday night, President Barack Obama said the health care plan he is pushing will not provide federal money for abortions. But pro-life congressmen and Planned Parenthood agree that abortion would be covered under the plan under an amendment sponsored by Rep. Lois Capps (D.-Calif.)…
