SOS: The commonly used description for the international Morse code distress signal· · · — — — · · · a continuous sequence of three-dits/three-dahs/three-dits, for those of you who are not Amateur Radio Operators, commonly called Hams. In popular usage, SOS became associated with phrases such as "Save Our Ship" and "Save Our Souls".
In street slang, SOS means same old stuff. With the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama today one thing is very clear: The next four years will not be the same old stuff, no way, no how. We have entered into an era like no other the United States of America has ever experienced. So issue the SOS my friends, America is officially in distress. "Save our Souls"
Roger Gardner predicted today would be an extraordinary day, ... but not how you might think:
One line that was surfaced over and over today was "remake America". Barack Hussein Obama said, “Our time of
standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant
decisions -- that time has surely passed,” Obama said in his first speech as
president. “Starting today, we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and
begin again the work of remaking America.”
Bob Ellis asks, "Remake America into whose image? ... Since our nation has risen in a relatively short time to become the
most powerful nation on earth–in human history–doesn’t it stand to
reason that we did something right to get here? ... " Amen, Mr. Ellis.
Obama's agenda will be very bad for this country, but specifically it will be terrible for individual citizens. Government Jobs Outnumber Manufacturing Jobs, But Barack Obama Still Wants to Add 600,000 More, reports Bob McCarty Writes:
Add 600,000 government jobs — the ones Obama has said he wants to add to the already-bloated federal government payroll (see this article for details) — to the already-existing 22 million government jobs, and the disparity will only grows worse.
LAST GASP BEFORE INAUGURATION: Group Aims to Head Off
Obama’s Likely First Move in Office
President-elect Obama has made it clear on a number of occasions during his
campaign that his top priority in the White House will be to sign the Freedom of
Choice Act, a move that would repeal every single restriction on abortion in
this country.
But Pro-Life advocates like Chris Slattery, president and
founder of EMC Front Line Pregnancy Centers, are calling out to their
constituents to keep up the good fight.
“Politicians make promises to get
elected,” says Slattery, “but the situation is more complex than that. First,
the bill has to be re-introduced in Congress. That has not happened yet. Even
then, it has to go through the committee process in both Houses, and pass by
vote in both the House and the Senate before it can get to Obama for his
signature. We have time to act.”
However, having said all that, Slattery
says there is no time like the present. Obama’s likely confirmed Secretary of
Health and Human Services, Tom Daschle, has a lopsided Pro-Choice voting record
as a Senator. And Obama also has the power to issue Executive Orders. Both stand
as challenges.
Slattery is available for interviews to project on what
these challenges really mean in the abortion battle and, more importantly, what
Pro-Life voters can and should do to maintain the footholds they’ve gained in
recent years.
He also offers a sharp view on the laundry list of agenda
items the Pro-Abortion lobby has placed on the table in front of the
President-elect, as they eagerly anticipate his inauguration.
THE
FREEDOM OF CHOICE ACT WOULD ELIMINATE EVERY RESTRICTION ON ABORTION,
INCLUDING:
1. Partial-birth abortion, or the dismembering of babies as
they are being born, will now be legal.
2. Parental consent laws for
minors will no longer be in effect. Although a seventeen-year-old girl has to
have her parents present in order to get acne medicine, a thirteen-year-old can
get an abortion without her parents knowing. Think of the injury done to these
young women, as well as to their children!
3. Laws prohibiting public
funding of abortion will be struck down. The American taxpayer will now have to
fund something many of us know to be murder.
4. Laws requiring women to
be shown information about and alternatives to abortion will be struck down.
Think about any other surgery that's performed: you are bombarded with
information. And yet, in one of the most invasive medical procedures, women
would be kept ignorant of the facts.
5. Laws allowing medical staff and
hospitals to refuse to perform abortion on grounds of conscience will be struck
down. (Where's the freedom of choice here?)
6. Laws prohibiting medical
personnel other than licensed physicians from performing abortions would be
invalidated because they may "interfere with" access to abortion. (Talk about
protection for women!)
7. Government agencies and officials would be
prohibited from taking any action that would "discriminate against the exercise
of" the FOCA-created legal rights, with respect to any "benefits, facilities,
services, or information," would leave government officials open to lawsuits for
anything that anybody thought "discriminate(s)" against abortion. (continue at Special Guests)
From Get Liberty.org:
The inauguration wasn't quite as bad as the cartoon depicts.
When Barack Hussein Obama walked out on the dias to take the oath of office, SOS was not what popped into my mind. With his head thrown back, his nose in the air, a smug look on his face, ... my first thought was "What an arrogant SOB." So my plea is SOS from this SOB.
From reader David:
For better or worse, here we go....

Did you enjoy Obamas comments today about leading America into a new relationship with Muslims? No surprise to us, huh? We've been screaming that this would happen for years now.
It was a great country to live in and grow up in, while it lasted. We're the lucky ones, we got to know it as it was.

DAMN WHAT A SORRY DAY THIS IS. I TRULY FEAR FOR YOUR GREAT COUNTRY WITH THIS HUSTLER AT THE HELM. THE THING THAT IS SCARIEST IS THE CULT OF PERSONA THAT PEOPLE HAVE DEVELOPED AROUND HIM. HOPEFULLY AMERICA SURVIVES THIS CHUMP, AND YOU CAN TURF HIM IN 4 YRS. I FULLY EXPECT IT TO A VERY CORRUPT 4 YRS AS WELL.

What are these promises made of? Are we going straight down? Hope he would change his mind when the thing he should dust of are those around him first.
