NO ONE I'VE HEARD HAS A VIABLE ANSWER TO REDUCING FEDERAL SPENDING, AND AS A WISE PERSON ONCE SAID. “IF WE ARE NOT CAREFUL, WE ARE GOING TO END UP IN THE DIRECTION WE'RE HEADED!”   

The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009, it was actually January 3rd 2007, the day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives and the Senate, at the very start of the 110th Congress.

The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this...

January 3rd, 2007, the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP growth for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!

Remember that day. January 3rd, 2007 was the day that BarneyFrank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee.
The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy?

BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
THANK YOU DEMOCRATS (especiallyBarney ) for taking us from 13,000 DOW, 3.5 GDP and 4.6% Unemployment...to this CRISIS by (among MANY other things) dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from YOUR Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FIASCOES!
(BTW: Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie -starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy).
Barney blocked Bush and called it a "Chicken Little Philosophy" (and the sky did fall!)
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA
And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?
OBAMA and the Democrat Congress, especially BARNEY!!!!

So when someone tries to blame Bush...
REMEMBER JANUARY 3rd, 2007.... THE DAY THE DEMOCRATS TOOK OVER!"
Bush may have been in the car but the Democrats were in charge of the gas pedal and steering wheel they were driving the economy into the ditch.
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democratic Party.
Furthermore, theDemocrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.

In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.

For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budget.

And where was Barack Obama during this time?He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009. Let's remember what the deficits looked like during that period:
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.

If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself.
In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is "I inherited a deficit that I voted for, and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th."

UNHAPPY BIRTHDAY

December the 15^th was the 220^th “birthday” of the day our forefathers ratified the United States Bill of Rights. 

I don’t know if it was merely a coincidence or if intentional, but exactly on the 220^th birthday of that historical day, congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 (NDAA).  When this becomes law, we will no longer have rights.   Obama has declared his intent to sign the legislation into law.

WARNING

click on title to read
YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY 

This week, Congress is debating more proposals that violate our fundamental right to be free from government restraint, absent a proven case of criminal behavior.  This, too, was articulated by the framers when they wrote in the Fifth Amendment: "No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law."  This recognizes the right to be free from restraint by the government, unless the government, utilizing due process, can make a case against you.  That means a fair trial in your presence, with lawyers defending you and jurors deciding your case under the guidance of a neutral judge.

Yet, Congress are about to authorize the president to violate your natural rights by enacting legislation that would permit him to use the military to arrest Americans and restrain them without due process.  Even King George III, against whose armies the colonists fought for freedom, did not have the power to do that.  And, just because Congress votes to make these acts of tyranny legal does not mean they are constitutional. The Constitution is a higher law than anything Congress can write; and all that Congress writes must conform to it.


Since the Constitution was written to keep the government from violating our natural rights, what can you do when the very government we have hired to protect those rights is violating them?  Well, for starters you can help by voting every politician out of office that does not believe the Constitution means what it says.

ONLY VOTE FOR CANDIDATES THAT SUPPORT AND DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION.  IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHO THEY ARE, IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!

Tthe NAACP and Democrats believe blacks stupid

click on title to read

Both the NAACP and Democrat Party believe blacks are too stupid to obtain a photo ID.  

  

Wake up people.  You must show a photo ID to vote in a union election, to cash a check, drive a car, board an airplane, use a credit card, and a host of other things.  For example, you can’t even buy beer at your local Wal-mart without showing a photo ID.

 THIS IS A UNION ELECTION

I think we all know the real reason the NAACP and Democrats are opposed to this.

HOW STUPID DO THEY THINK WE ARE?

Republican concerns are well-founded and justified, while the Democrats’ efforts to prevent measures to prevent voter fraud not only defy common sense but also appear to be nothing less than a conspiracy to allow it.”

The extent to which minority advocates can overreach became obvious in a recent story out of Port Chester, NY.

As reported:

Port Chester NY- How do you get minorities elected to power in districts where they don’t have enough votes?  Why just let them vote 6 times , you know, just to be fair.  Do you think this happened in a dark Chicago alley with Daley, Obama or Blagojevich?

No, this is happening in New York State and not in the dark of night but in the light of day with the full blessing of the federal judge who heard the case. The judge is black and was appointed to the federal bench by George W. Bush!”

Letting Hispanics vote six times is fair and reasonable?  Why is government promoting the election of any race or ethnic group?

Of course, when one citizen is allowed to vote six times, the votes of five other people are suppressed. Where is the good in that?

The precious right to vote must never be infringed upon based on a desire to prevent any person from voting because of that individual’s political tendencies or voting preferences.

However, it is just as important that fool-proof procedures be in place to suppress voting by:

• Illegal aliens
• Those not registered to vote
• Those attempting to vote more than once
• The dead  (A whole lot of dead people vote in Chicago)

Requiring would be voters to provide proof of ID is small price to pay in order to guard against voter fraud of the sort listed.

Those who oppose voter ID are being unreasonable and are, themselves, a danger to the exercise of our most precious right—the right to vote!

OBAMA DOES NOT WANT MORE JOBS

LINKS ARE INCLUDED TO BACK UP EVERYTHING IN THIS BLOG

President Obama claims he wants to see more Americans working, but then he rejects private sector projects that would create tens of thousands of American jobs.  It appears that the President prefers pandering to special interest above job creation and a sustained economic recovery.

Consider what Obama said during his trip to Brazil earlier this year.  He told the Brazilians, “We want to work with you. We want to help with technology and support to develop these oil reserves safely, and when you’re ready to start selling, we want to be one of your best customers.”  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=M2V4EM_jaFg

There’s no problem with buying oil from the Brazilians.  But why does the President have a problem with building the Keystone XL pipeline to allow Americans to buy more oil from the Canadians?  U.S. companies work with the Canadians to produce oil in Canada, and American workers would build the majority of the Keystone XL.  Also, getting more oil from Canada would mean fewer imports from less friendly countries.
My blog from November 20^th.  http://cyberpolyticks.blogspot.com/2011/11/pipeline-poker.html

It is no secret that the Obama administration supports higher gas prices.  

The Keystone XL pipeline would have provided more stability in oil supply and pricing at a time when crude oil from Mexico and Venezuela is declining.  The pipeline would have provided refiners in the Gulf region with a secure supply—and a supply from a friendly source. Less supply means higher prices.

Without the XL pipeline on the horizon, prices are predicted to increase as they did following the delay announcement.  Higher oil prices translate to higher prices at the pump. With the cover of environmental concerns as the cause, President Obama could put the pipeline off and raise gas prices without the average person realizing his responsibility for the increasing costs.  With higher gasoline prices, the Government Motors Chevy Volt becomes more attractive—giving the president a win/win.

So President Obama chose to appease the environmental base and raise gas prices rather than to support the jobs that he claims to want.  Additionally, the pipeline would have brought foreign money into the United States through increased exports of refined gasoline and provided a strong signal to the world markets that America is putting a long-term sustained strategy for expanding the domestic oil supplies we will need for decades to come.
 
TransCanada expected that the pipeline would be routinely approved—all previous cross-border pipeline requests have been granted.  They went through all the open houses and public meetings, did the environmental impact studies, and endured the most exhaustive and detailed review ever conducted for a crude oil pipeline.  Nebraska, and most of the United States, is already a web of pipelines.  However, they chose the cheapest route for the Keystone XL pipeline—which took it through the environmentally controversial area of Nebraska’s Sand Hills.  By choosing the short route, rather than adding about 250 miles of pipeline, they gave the environmentalists an unlikely alliance: Nebraska’s Republican lawmakers and traditionally conservative farmers.

Now that TransCanada has agreed to re-routing, they’ve called his bluff . 

President Obama’s whole system for determining the number of jobs created by any infrastructure project is now completely discredited.  Most Americans remember well the administration’s stimulus-era promise of unemployment topping out at 8 percent if the stimulus were passed. The stimulus was passed and unemployment then spiked above 10 percent.  So the President is going to have to forgive us if we doubt his ability—and that of his advisers—to predict what policies will create jobs.

The facts, though, about job creation in the energy sector are undeniable.  And we’re not talking about the green energy experiments like Solyndra that went bankrupt and laid off its workers.  We’re talking about affordable energy development in places like North Dakota, where production in the Bakken Shale has resulted in the lowest unemployment in the country (3.5 percent).

Obama’s campaign for class resentment

From The Washington Post

By Charles Krauthammer, Published: December 8

In the first month of his presidency, Barack Obama averred that if in three years he hadn’t alleviated the nation’s economic pain, he’d be a “one-term proposition.”

When three-quarters of Americans think the country is on the “wrong track” and even Bill Clinton calls the economy “lousy,” how then to run for a second term? Traveling Tuesday to Osawatomie, Kan., site of a famous 1910 Teddy Roosevelt speech, Obama laid out the case.

It seems that he and his policies have nothing to do with the current state of things. Sure, presidents are ordinarily held accountable for economic growth, unemployment, national indebtedness (see Obama, above). But not this time. Responsibility, you see, lies with the rich.

Or, as the philosophers of Zuccotti Park call them, the 1 percent. For Obama, these rich are the ones holding back the 99 percent. The “breathtaking greed of a few” is crushing the middle class. If only the rich paid their “fair share,” the middle class would have a chance. Otherwise, government won’t have enough funds to “invest” in education and innovation, the golden path to the sunny uplands of economic growth and opportunity.

Where to begin? A country spending twice as much per capita on education as it did in 1970 with zero effect on test scores is not underinvesting in education. It’s mis-investing. As for federally directed spending on innovation — like Solyndra? Ethanol? The preposterously subsidized, flammable Chevy Volt?

Our current economic distress is attributable to myriad causes: globalization, expensive high-tech medicine, a huge debt burden, a burst housing bubble largely driven by precisely the egalitarian impulse that Obama is promoting (government aggressively pushing “affordable housing” that turned out to be disastrously unaffordable), an aging population straining the social safety net. Yes, growing inequality is a problem throughout the Western world. But Obama’s pretense that it is the root cause of this sick economy is ridiculous.

As is his solution, that old perennial: selective abolition of the Bush tax cuts. As if all that ails us, all that keeps the economy from humming and the middle class from advancing, is a 4.6-point hike in marginal tax rates for the rich.

This, in a country $15 trillion in debt with out-of-control entitlements systematically starving every other national need. This obsession with a sock-it-to-the-rich tax hike that, at most, would have reduced this year’s deficit from $1.30 trillion to $1.22 trillion is the classic reflex of reactionary liberalism — anything to avoid addressing the underlying structural problems, which would require modernizing the totemic programs of the New Deal and Great Society.

As for those structural problems, Obama has spent three years on signature policies that either ignore or aggravate them:
●A massive stimulus, a gigantic payoff to Democratic interest groups (such as teachers, public-sector unions) that will add nearly $1 trillion to the national debt.

●A sweeping federally run reorganization of health care that (a) cost Congress a year, (b) created an entirely new entitlement in a nation hemorrhaging from unsustainable entitlements, (c) introduced new levels of uncertainty into an already stagnant economy.

●High-handed regulation, best exemplified by Obama’s failed cap-and-trade legislation, promptly followed by the Environmental Protection Agency trying to impose the same conventional-energy-killing agenda by administrative means.

Moreover, on the one issue that already enjoys a bipartisan consensus — the need for fundamental reform of a corrosive, corrupted tax code that misdirects capital and promotes unfairness — Obama did nothing, ignoring the recommendations of several bipartisan commissions, including his own.

In Kansas, Obama lamented that millions “are now forced to take their children to food banks.” You have to admire the audacity. That’s the kind of damning observation the opposition brings up when you’ve been in office three years. Yet Obama summoned it to make the case for his reelection!

Why? Because, you see, he bears no responsibility for the current economic distress. It’s the rich. And, like Horatius at the bridge, Obama stands with the American masses against the soulless plutocrats.

This is populism so crude that it channels not Teddy Roosevelt so much as Hugo Chavez. But with high unemployment, economic stagnation and unprecedented deficits, what else can Obama say?

He can’t run on stewardship. He can’t run on policy. His signature initiatives — the stimulus, Obamacare and the failed cap-and-trade — will go unmentioned in his campaign ads. Indeed, they will be the stuff of Republican ads.

What’s left? Class resentment. Got a better idea?

Plot To Undermine Right To Bear Arms

From INVESTER’S BUSINESS DAILY

Posted 12/08/2011 07:03 PM ET 

Scandal: Newly obtained documents show that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives discussed using its covert operation Fast and Furious to argue for new rules about gun sales. We told you so.

As we observed in June, the way Fast and Furious — the government's gun-running operation that resulted in the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry — was conducted made no sense unless its intent was to facilitate violence with U.S. weapons in the interests of pursuing the administration's gun-control agenda.

Now documents obtained by CBS News confirm that our first suspicions were correct.

As CBS' Sharyl Attkisson reports, emails show ATF officials discussed using the deliberate transfer of weapons to Mexican drug cartels to justify a new gun regulation known as "Demand Letter 3."

We say deliberate because congressional testimony by ATF agents demonstrates how the tracking of Fast and Furious weapons stopped at the border and that requests to interdict the weapons transfers and arrest the gun traffickers were denied by higher-ups.

Demand Letter 3 was so named because it was the third ATF attempt to have Southwest gun shops report all long-gun (rifle or shotgun) sales to the ATF — even those to law-abiding American citizens with all the proper registration and other forms.

On July 14, 2010, five months before Terry's murder, ATF Field Ops Assistant Director Mark Chait emailed Bill Newell, the ATF's Phoenix special agent in charge of Fast and Furious: "Bill, can you see if these guns were all purchased from the same (licensed gun dealer) and at one time? We are looking at anecdotal cases to support a demand letter on long-gun sales. Thanks."

On Jan. 24, as the ATF was preparing to announce arrests in Fast and Furious, another email showed Newell saw it as an opportunity "to address multiple sales on long guns issue."

After the press conference, Chait emailed Newell that in "light of our request for Demand Letter 3, this case could be a strong supporting factor if we can determine how many multiple sales of long guns occurred during the course of the case."

Two earlier Demand Letters affected only a handful of dealers.

As it was funneling some 2,000 guns to Mexican criminals and drug lords, the Justice Department announced April 25 that it was requiring 8,500 gun stores in Arizona, California, Texas and New Mexico to report individual purchases of multiple rifles of greater than .22 caliber by law-abiding American citizens to the ATF because — get this — such guns are "frequently recovered at violent crime scenes near the Southwest border."

Like the ATF-supplied guns found next to the body of Brian Terry?

These documents show that Fast and Furious was intended not to interdict gun trafficking, but to make the administration's case for more gun control.

According to Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, "there's plenty of evidence developing that the administration planned to use the tragedies of Fast and Furious as rationale to further their goals of a long-gun reporting requirement."

As he did Thursday in testifying before Congress trying to justify his incompetence or seeming ignorance concerning the operation, Attorney General Eric Holder tried to shift the blame to Congress and American gun dealers: "Unfortunately, earlier this year the House of Representatives actually voted to keep law enforcement in the dark when individuals purchase multiple semiautomatic rifles and shotguns in Southwest border gun shops."

Holder suggested that weapons allowed to "walk" into the hands of drug cartels during the course of the failed Fast and Furious operation will continue to show up at crime scenes in the U.S. and Mexico "for years to come." And, no doubt, at the deaths of more people on both sides of the border.

It is you, Eric Holder, who has kept the American people in the dark as to how and why Brian Terry had to die to further a domestic policy goal of the Obama administration. And it is you who must go.

THE BORDER WAR

The United States has been defending South Korea’s northern border for the past 59 years.  We built a fence along that border and we have had our military there all these years.  The United States has spared no expense to maintain the security of that border.

It is most unfortunate that our Government is not as concerned about the safety of Americans citizens as the safety of citizens of a country half way around the world.

Almost every day armed criminals come across our southern border for sole purpose of committing all sorts of crimes including murder.  Not only is our government purposely ignoring the problem, they are suing states for attempting to defend themselves.

Article 1, Section 8 of the United States constitution clearly states that “Congress will provide for the common defense of the country”.   The inactions by our government are treasonous.  Our leadership in Washington, DC continues on a rudderless course when it comes to National Security especially along our Southern Border.  

The current administration just does not understand that this is more than a debate point during election season; it’s an active international disaster that threatens national security.  We need leaders now that understand the current threat and vulnerabilities.

America must defeat major criminal forces and provide a firm, regulated path for international exchange with Latin America or we will lose this war; those forces will overtake us. Our rule of law will end and their rule of man will dominate as it does in most of Latin America.

A major problem is that, the U.S. government prioritizes environmental preservation over national security by keeping Border Patrol agents out of wildlife refuges that are heavily transited by Mexican drug and human smugglers.

“For years, Border Patrol agents have been prohibited by the Interior Department and the U.S. Forest Service from actively patrolling such areas because it threatens natural resources,” Tom Fitton, president of the public-interest watchdog Judicial Watch, following the release of the GAO report recently.
“Motorized vehicles, road construction and the installation of surveillance structures required to adequately secure the vast areas are forbidden because it could endanger the environment and its wildlife.  In the meantime, Mexican drug cartels and human smugglers regularly use the sprawling, unmanned and federally protected land to enter the U.S.  The areas have become the path of choice for illicit operations that endanger American lives and, ironically, cause severe environmental damage,” said Fitton.

The Law Enforcement Examiner obtained copies of the original reports—GAO-11-38 and GAO-11-117—and discovered that environmental concerns took precedence over law enforcement and public safety concerns.

According to the GAO report, 40 percent of Southwest border lands are managed by the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture, and coordination and cooperation between Border Patrol and land management agencies is critical to ensure national security.

The Government Accountability office summarized its findings from two previous reports regarding the U.S.-Mexico border in the fall of 2010. The first report, GAO-11-38, focused on the key land management laws that Border Patrol must comply with and how these laws affect the agency’s operations. The second report, GAO-11-177, focused on the extent to which Border Patrol and land management agencies’ law enforcement units share threat information and communications.

When operating on federal lands, Border Patrol must comply with the requirements of several federal land management laws, including the National Environmental Policy Act, Wilderness Act, and Endangered Species Act. Border Patrol agents must obtain permission or a permit from federal land management agencies before agents can undertake operations, such as maintaining roads and installing surveillance equipment, on federal lands.

To fulfill these requirements, Border Patrol generally coordinates with land management agencies through national and local interagency agreements. The most comprehensive agreement is a 2006 memorandum of understanding between the Departments of Homeland Security, Agriculture, and the Interior that is intended to guide Border Patrol activities on federal lands. Border Patrol’s access to some federal lands along the southwestern border has been limited because of certain land management laws, according to 17 of 26 patrol agents-in-charge that GAO analysts interviewed.

For example, these patrol agents-in-charge reported that implementation of these laws had resulted in delays and restrictions in their patrolling and monitoring operations. Specifically, 14 patrol agents-in-charge reported that they had been unable to obtain a permit or permission to access certain areas in a timely manner because of the time it takes for land managers to conduct required environmental and historic property assessments. The 2006 memorandum of understanding directs the agencies to cooperate and complete, in an expedited manner, all compliance required by applicable federal laws, but such cooperation has not always occurred.

For example, when Border Patrol requested permission to move surveillance equipment, it took the land manager more than 4 months to conduct the required historic property assessment and grant permission, but by then illegal traffic had shifted to other areas.

Despite two congressional reports documenting the obstacles Border Patrol officers face in these dangerous areas, little has been done to remedy the situation and improve security. An overwhelming majority of Border Patrol agents told congressional investigators that “land management laws” continue to limit their access to federal lands along the treacherous southwestern border.

Information sharing and communication among the agencies have increased in recent years, but critical gaps remain in implementing interagency agreements. Agencies established forums and liaisons to exchange information; however, in the Tucson sector, agencies did not coordinate to ensure that federal land law enforcement officials had access to threat information and compatible secure radio communications for daily operations.

The situation is so dire that a group of lawmakers have introduced legislation to prohibit any federal agency—especially the Department of the Interior—from using environmental regulations to hinder the Border Patrol from securing the area. The measure would essentially ensure that Border Patrol, not federal land managers, have operational control of the nation’s borders. ...previously reported by Jim Kouri in the Examiner.

It is now time to enforce the rule-of-law and the protection of Americans and our country. No more excuses…no more delays…no more politics, no more kowtowing to special interest groups, or claims by open-border believers. The fact is, the Citizens of the USA are in daily danger and are being killed because the border and interior states of Mexico are controlled by thugs, savvy drug cartel leaders, terrorists and who knows what or who else!

The problems on and across our southern borders of California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas are in the news every day.  We have a war of gigantic proportions…illegal invasions, jihadists, treacherous drug cartels, gangs, human trafficking, drugs (is there not a war on drugs???), smuggling, kidnappings, and corruption of officials on both sides of the borders.

If our Federal Government will not execute an operational plan to secure our southern borders then the States and all Americans must demand it. 

AND THEN THERE WERE TWO

THE LAST TWO STANDING WILL BE NEWT AND MITT.

By the time the Oklahoma Republican Primary rolls around, it will be down to these two.  Ron Paul may still be hanging on, but by then he won’t really be a serious contender. 
    
Newt Gingrich is head and shoulders above anyone else in the race intellectually.  In terms of pure brain power, he has a real grasp of most issues.”  In fact, he has a grasp of every side of every issue because, at one time or another, he has been on it.  In my view, the “New Newt” seems to be on the “right” side of most issues.

There is absolutely no doubt that he would wipe the floor with Obama in a debate.  For all his flaws—and who does not have flaws—he has both an historian’s and a working politician’s grasp of issues.   I don’t agree with him on every single issue but I think he could make the changes needed to turn this nation around, and I believe he has a passionate love of America.

Which leaves us with Mitt Romney; sure-and-steady, a man who has had the political misfortune of actually changing his mind over the years, largely because he ran as a Republican in one of the most Democratic States of the Union…and won!

Romney is very presidential looking, intelligent, and a very well qualified candidate, having succeeded in both politics and business.  Some people are still bothered by the fact he is a Mormon.  To that I say “we are electing a President, not a pastor”.  Let’s also give him points for having lived a moral life as a good husband and father.  He has made it this far without a single major gaffe, but Romney increasingly gives the impression of being robotic.  He is locked into his political game plan and talking points, and it has worked for him up to this point.  It may get him the nomination.

Of the two, Gingrich is just more fun to listen to as he speaks, without teleprompter, citing Jefferson and Lincoln, quoting the Declaration of Independence, reminding us why the first Americans fought a Revolution.  Gingrich has already made some history of his own, wresting control of Congress away from the Democratic Party in the mid-1990s.  He could very well do it again.

I think the Iowa primary will give Gingrich a win.  I think the New Hampshire primary will give Romney a win.  After that, who knows?   When the day comes to make my choice, I will pick the one I feel has the best chance to send Obama packing.   Because then, and only then will America’s future begin to improve.

TIME TO IMPEACH OBAMA

Are you sick and tired of losing more and more of your freedom?

Are you fed up with paying more and more taxes which are wasted to help countries that hate us?

Are you at your wits end watching a President that can’t even stand up for America?

Solution – Time to Impeach our President for Treason, Now!!!!

TREASON - This word imports a betraying, treachery, or breach of allegiance. The Constitution of the United States, Art. III, defines treason against the United States to consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort. This offence is punished with death. By the same article of the Constitution, no person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.

First President to repeat “the Holy Qur'an tells us,” and openly admit “the early morning call of the Azan (Islamic call to worship) is the most beautiful sound on earth.”

Remember that 32 months of Obama White House we the people have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our nation's entire history, as the Obama's plan their next extravagant vacation to the Indonesian Island nation of Bali.

 Hope and change anyone?

By any other name, it’s still communism

Whether it's the Occupy Wall Street protesters, rioters in Greece, public workers defacing the state capitol building in Madison, Wisconsin, or thugs tearing down the city of Oakland, brick by brick, they are all focused on the same objective: equal distribution of wealth and a classless society. They may not use the word communism, but communism is precisely what they yearn for.

The social psychology being used by the progressives and liberal media on many trusting and unsuspecting Americans (including many in the Occupy movement) is nothing short of another play taken straight from Saul Alinsky's playbook, "Rules for Radicals": "A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order or the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage -- the political paradise of communism."

Marxist philosopher Antonio Gramsci was famous for his idea of cultural hegemony. Wikipedia defines it as a "philosophic and sociological theory ... that a culturally diverse society can be dominated (ruled) by one social class, by manipulating the societal culture (beliefs, explanations, perceptions, values) so that its ruling-class worldview is imposed as the societal norm, which then is perceived as a universally valid ideology and status quo beneficial to all of society, whilst benefiting only the ruling class."

Ringer noted that in "The Communist Manifesto," Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels summarized the plan this way: "In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Working men of all countries, unite!"
And Vladimir Lenin stressed the importance of this social change: "We say that our morality is wholly subordinated to the interests of the class struggle of the proletariat."
Feel familiar?

To progressives, the masses don't need to understand the principles; they just need to stand up for them. In fact, it's actually better that they remain ignorant. Alinsky stated it this way: "Here our concern is with the tactic of taking; how the Have-Nots can take power away from the Haves."

The truth is that the only way out of this slippery slope is to help educate the masses about the uniqueness of our republic and push back on the tides of progressivism, socialism and communism.

Thomas Jefferson's wisdom still points the way out of this mess: "Educate and inform the whole mass of the people. Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them. And it requires no very high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."  Well, I have been trying to do my part to do just that but I’m beginning to think I’m fighting a hopeless battle.  A few months ago I thought “if we can just survive until the election, we can turn this nightmare around”, now I’m not so sure. 


The younger generations in this country are socialists to the very core.  If they turn out in large numbers on Election Day, and if labor union members vote the way the union bosses want them to, this country is doomed, pure and simple.

Ronald Reagan stated it this way: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same."  Therein lays the problem.  They will not do the same because they have been brainwashed by the Marxist propaganda in our country’s public education system.

THE FRIGHTENING THING IS MOST PEOPLE DON’T SEEM TO CARE

Iron Curtain begins Descending onto the United States of America

 By Sher Zieve  Friday, December 2, 2011

 

As Barack Hussein Obama’s real (internal) poll numbers continue to plummet into oblivion, Obama and his increasingly complicit Congress secretly pass laws that will enslave, incarcerate and even murder their fellow Americans—for the explicit purpose of those who are currently in power remaining in power.  It is now becoming clearer and clearer that both the Marxist-Democrats and their RINO brothers and sisters may not allow the 2012 elections to occur.

The latest anti-liberty and unconstitutional atrocities include but, are not limited to, some of the following items:

1.  DHS still lists Christians, anti-abortionists, homeschoolers, libertarians, conservatives and military rank and file as terrorists.  Note:  Islamists are still not included on the list.

2.  Christian preachers are now being arrested, and often beaten up, by police.  A few preachers who have been arrested include two Houston pastors who were arrested for (legally) preaching against homosexuality on the same corner for the past two years.  One of the police officers told them that they were ‘doing nothing wrong’.  That was just before the cops grabbed their video camera, forced them to the ground, placed them in handcuffs and took them to the station.  The charges against them are unclear but, appear to include preaching a message the Houston cops didn‘t like.  However, WND reports:  “Their hearing will be in Houston Municipal Court, which is run by [lesbian] Barbara E. Hartle, who, according to the Dallas Voice, is listed by the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund as “one of only a few out members of the Texas judiciary.”  WND also reports that Pastor Michael Marcavage, founder of the evangelistic Repent America ministry, was placed on the FBI’s terrorist watch list for “nonviolent religious speech which government officials perceive as [merely] controversial.”  Controversial?  Being controversial is now a crime?  In another incident, Pastor Rives Grogan and his 11-year-old son were illegally arrested for preaching against abortion in a public (and allowed) free-speech zone.

3.  The most recent and titanic infringement on the rights of ALL US citizens is a bill (National Defense Authorization Act-NDAA).  Although Section 1032 subsection (b) (1) and (2) of S 1867 (passed in secret and behind closed doors) states that US Citizens and legal resident aliens are not subject to military incarceration, US Senators (including now self-outed Marxist Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham) are gleefully interpreting Section 1031 to include ALL US citizens being subject to “Detention under the law of war without trial until the end of the hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force.”  In other words, we may now experience what those recently nationwide refurbished FEMA camps look like.  This is no longer conspiracy theory, folks.  Senators Carl Levin (D-MI), John McCain (R-AX) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) amongst many others have now not only threatened all of us with arrest but, are threatening the very foundations of what used to be OUR country.  The masks have come off of our elected officials and most of them now resemble either Josef Stalin or Adolph Hitler.

Every totalitarian government starts out in almost the identical way.  First, it begins with some sort of political correctness indoctrination, then it begins taking away liberties a little at a time, then it explains that it can make decisions (including your money) for you better than you can.  It decides that it can not only indoctrinate your children better but, can raise them better that you.  Vladimir Ilyich Lenin said:  “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”

The next to final step of all of these brutal and repressive governments is to make scapegoats of law-abiding citizens and raise up the lawbreakers as “acceptable.”  Note:  The TEA Party vs. OWS comparison comes readily to mind.


The final step is the incarceration and, ultimate, genocide of those who oppose their own enslavement.  We now stand in the beginning of the final phase-solution of the existence of the United States of America.  The Executive and Legislative branches of our government are now consistently operating outside of US law and have firmly become the enemy of We-the-People.  You may not want to hear this.  The truth often cuts deeply.  The government has moved beyond rogue and has now entered the complete and final Dictatorial Tyranny stage.  Will you stand and fight or will you lie down and die?  The choice is still yours…but, not for much longer.


The Iron Curtain has now almost fully descended onto the borders of the United States of America.

“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

“We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.”—The unanimous Declaration [of Independence] of the thirteen united States of America
