Democratic Agenda

With all the internal problems within our country, its difficult to understand the priorities of our *beloved* Democrats in Congress.  With unemployment at nearly 10%, the economy in the toilet, and our national debt skyrocketing, the Democrats spent their last few hours as the reigning power passing legislation near and dear to their hearts.  The following bills were voted on this past week:

  • Giving illegal aliens legal status (Dream Act--failed)
  • Agreeing with our *friends* the Russians, (Start--strategic arms reduction treaty) that we will reduce our nuclear capacity--if THEY will.  (Who believes that???)
  • Gay rights--dissolving the military's policy on "Don't Ask--Don't Tell" (passed)
  • Omnibus Bill--a 1.1 TRILLION dollar "porkfest" (did not make it up for a vote--but they tried)
  • Voted (I love this one) to keep the government "funded" through February.  There had been talk of the collapse of the government if they didn't vote on this one.  That ought to give you a warm fuzzy!
  • Voted to extend the Bush tax cuts for another two years--in my opinion, the only bill worth the vote. 
Dems knew they would have a greatly diminished vote for the second half of Obama's presidency and worked feverishly to pass these bills in order to maintain their solid "minority" base.  Good riddance I say!  The sooner this buffoon is out of the White House the better for the nation.

 P.S.  Have you noticed the U.S. Treasury is now printing coins that have "In God We Trust" written on the sides of the coins rather than on the coin itself?  Point being:  Once the phrase "wears off" it's gone for good.  See any trend there?

WE WON!

Senator Harry Reid has withdrawn the Omnibus Bill which the Dem's were so keen on passing.  Keep up the good work folks.  We have to keep the pressure on, so Congress doesn't backslide.  We've got to watch 'em like a hawk.  Now you may do the "Dance of Joy"--until tomorrow when they'll be back to work creating some other type of chaos for the rest of the country.  Enjoy the victory!

THE GREAT AMERICAN SWINDLE!

Cut the FAT!
No doubt, this Congress will go down in history as The Folks Who Perpetrated The Great American Swindle. Thought you were finished with nonsense out of Washington? Think again. They're going to steal your money whether you like it or not! The Omnibus--a nearly 2,000 page bill--is filled with government waste, and Congress thinks YOU are going to pay for it. If passed, this bill will cost approximately 1.1 TRILLION DOLLARS (approx. 572 MILLION per page)  The time is NOW--you HAVE to call or email your senators and encourage them to vote this bill down.  The Democrats are desperate to shove this bill through before the end of the year.  Unfortunately, a few Republicans are also voting in favor of the bill.  Below are a few of the items in the bill.  Do you want to fund these projects with your hard earned money?

$450,000 for the World Food Prize in Des Moines, Iowa;
$500,000 for the Edward M. Kennedy  (Not just no . . .____no!) Institute for the United States Senate in Boston;

Congressman Anthony Weiner (aptly named) of New York

Keep your eye on this guy--he probably represents everything you DON'T want for America. He's loud, he's angry, and he's everywhere! He thinks YOUR money belongs to the U.S. Congress. . . err, the United States of America. He's the face of the democractic party--arrogant and angry. He's posturing himself to run for the mayor of New York City. Better to have him there than in Congress! Check it out.

Government Controlled Media!

Would You Trust This Man?
The senior Democrat on the Federal Communications Commission  (FCC) Michael Copps wants to hold TV broadcasters to higher standards by requiring local programming to pass a test every four years to keep operating on the nation’s airwaves.
If TV broadcasters do not meet the proposed standards (who sets the standards?  The government!), they could risk losing their licenses to operate on air. The proposal, put forth by Commissioner Michael Copps, has alarmed the media industry, put them on the defensive and caught the eye of Republican lawmakers, who worry that the FCC wants to dictate the content of over-the-air TV programming.
His ideas got the attention of Republican lawmakers, including Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees the media industry. In a letter to Copps this week, Barton wrote, “I hope that you do not mean to suggest that it is the job of the federal government, through the Federal Communications Commission, to determine the content that is available for Americans to consume.”
Allowing the federal government to have an oversize role in the composition of the media “is unwise policy and raises serious questions of constitutionality,” Barton said.
In an interview with POLITICO, Copps said his proposed “public value test” is designed to ensure that broadcasters are meeting the needs of the communities they serve rather than simply chasing ratings. He also said he wants to increase resources going to investigative reporting and civic news (Government funded new?  No conflict of interest there.)
“Obviously, you don’t want to get involved in defining content,” Copps said. “I see this as a down payment to substantive media reform. I wanted to jump-start a conversation."

Dream Act Comes Up for a Vote Today!

Where do you stand?
The Dream Act is a bill written with the intention of allowing "illegals" who have been in this country for years, to obtain rights that are usually held only for this country's citizens.  This affects illegals under the age of 30, who were brought to this country by their parents before they were 16 years old.  They are required to fulfill at least 2 years of college or serve in our military--this gives them legal status in the United States.  The liberals claim that an "educated population" would be healthier for our economy.  What economy?  We already have nearly 10% unemployment (granted, some of that unemployment is BY CHOICE--we are now offering unemployment benefits for another 13 MONTHS--once this is exhausted, claimants may move into the national program--rather than state--wonderful, isn't it???  But that's another story!)   So, how do you feel about the dream act?  Another burden or a blessing to our battered, beloved country?  The following are links to more information, pro & con, for this bill.  I encourage you to get involved and let your state representatives know how you feel.

He Who Controls the Food--Controls the World Bill S510



Better Start Hiding Your SEEDS Now Folks!
 Think you're hungry now?  Just wait until this bill goes through!

S 510 has already passed the senate and is heading for the House of Representatives.  S510 fails on moral, social, economic, political, constitutional, and human survival grounds.

1.  It puts all US food and all US farms under Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, in the event of contamination or an ill-defined emergency (who decides what constitutes a real emergency?) 
2.  It would end US sovereignty over its own food supply by insisting on compliance with the WTO, thus threatening national security.  It would end the Uruguay Round Agreement Act of 1994, which put US sovereignty and US law under perfect protection.  Instead, S 510 says:
COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS.
Nothing in this Act (or an amendment made by this Act) shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the agreement establishing the World Trade Organization or any other treaty or international agreement to which the United States is a party.
3.  It would allow the government, under Maritime Law, to define the introduction of any food into commerce (even direct sales between individuals) as smuggling into “the United States.” Since under that law, the US is a corporate entity and not a location, “entry of food into the US” covers food produced anywhere within the land mass of this country and “entering into” it by virtue of being produced.  Say goodbye to "farmer's" markets!
4.  It imposes Codex Alimentarius on the US, a global system of control over food.
5.  It would remove the right to clean, store and thus own seed in the US, putting control of seeds in the hands of Monsanto and other multinationals, threatening US security. See Seeds – How to criminalize them, for more details.
6.  It includes NAIS, an animal traceability program that threatens all small farmers and ranchers raising animals. The UN is participating through the WHO, FAO, WTO, and World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) in allowing mass slaughter of even heritage breeds of animals and without proof of disease.  Biodiversity in farm animals is being wiped out to substitute genetically engineered animals on which corporations hold patents.  Animal diseases can be falsely declared.  S 510 includes the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), despite its corrupt involvement in the H1N1 scandal, which is now said to have been concocted by the corporations.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
7.  It extends a failed and destructive HACCP to all food, thus threatening to do to all local food production and farming what HACCP did to meat production – put it in corporate hands and worsen food safety.
8.  It deconstructs what is left of the American economy. It takes agriculture and food, which are the cornerstone of all economies, out of the hands of the citizenry, and puts them under the total control of multinational corporations influencing the UN, WHO, FAO and WTO, with HHS, and CDC, acting as agents, with Homeland Security as the enforcer.  The chance to rebuild the economy based on farming, ranching, gardens, food production, natural health, and all the jobs, tools and connected occupations would be eliminated.
9.  It would allow the government to mandate antibiotics, hormones, slaughterhouse waste, pesticides and GMOs. This would industrialize every farm in the US, eliminate local organic farming, greatly increase global warming from increased use of oil-based products and long-distance delivery of foods, and make food even more unsafe.  The five items listed — the Five Pillars of Food Safety — are precisely the items in the food supply which are the primary source of its danger.
10. It uses food crimes as the entry into police state power and control. The bill postpones defining all the regulations to be imposed; postpones defining crimes to be punished, postpones defining penalties to be applied.  It removes fundamental constitutional protections from all citizens in the country, making them subject to a corporate tribunal with unlimited power and penalties, and without judicial review. It is (similar to C-6 in Canada) the end of Rule of Law in the U

So, if you want to raise a garden, go to the Farmer's Market, store seeds, or grow your own meat--better do it now before our blessed government turns the jobs over to the World Trade Organization and we have to get our gardening seeds from the Chinese!
W.A.K.E. U.P. A.M.E.R.I.C.A.!!!

How Much Are We Going To Take?

Brother's Kissing

With all those concerns about wasteful government spending I want to let you know about a new "art exhibit" at the Smithsonian--"Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture"--funded by your tax dollars.  This "art exhibit" promotes homosexuality, incest, and anti-Christianity.  How long are we going to allow artists to insult the things most precious to us, in the name of "enlightenment and diversity"?  If there were a video of *Allah* on the ground and covered with ants there would be world-wide outrage.  It is so PAST the time to take a stand.  I encourage you to write to your Congresssmen/Women and let them know we will not allow our tax dollars to be spent in such and insulting and despicable way.  DO IT TODAY!  BTW:  Please refer to my previous posting on communism--"I Think They've Been Very Successful . . ."  A few of their main goals (way back in the 60's) were:
  1. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
  2. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
  3. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
  4. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy." 
  5.  Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of      artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
I must add here that it sickens me to post this photo with my blog entry.  But until you see it--you won't be compelled to stand against such filth.  Now DO IT!

I have also contacted the Smithsonian personally and complained about the exhibit.  They are recommending you send your complaints to the following email address:
npgnews@si.edu.  I told them I thought the letters "e.d.u." at the end of their address was a STRETCH!  E-mail them today!

Mark Lloyd--FCC Czar

Washington, D.C. — Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski appointed Mark Lloyd, a former senior fellow at the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress (CAP), to be the FCC’s “Chief Diversity Officer.” Lloyd is a proponent of the Fairness Doctrine and recently wrote that the Doctrine, and other regulatory tools such as localism and diversity mandates (more "blacks, women, & gays,") should be employed by the FCC to limit the number of conservative voices on the air and supplant them with liberal voices. He also suggests fining conservative radio stations up to $250 million (I must add that these programs are NOT federally funded--so what makes Lloyd think he has the right to any money privately generated by the popularity of these talk shows?) and giving the proceeds to national public radio

What is the Fairness Doctrine?  Basically it was a law passed in 1949 requiring the holders of broadcast licenses to present both sides of any controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was, in the Commission's view, honest, equitable and balanced.   The fairness doctrine has been eliminated since many claimed it violated free speech rights--guaranteed by the First Amendment.  Think about this administration . . . there are no limits.  So, if we have a program on heterosexuality--we must also have one on homosexuality.  Get the picture?

The point:  If Mark Lloyd has his way, each radio/television station will be required to have as many liberal programs as conservative.  If networks do not provide such programming they will be subject to fines and/or loss of licensing.    Ever hear of supply and demand?  If those programs were in demand--they'd have them on the air already.  Dahhh!  Check the ratings of the very toxic MSNBC.  Those guys are bitter!  And while you're at it . . . "google" Mark Lloyd and his quotes.  He thinks Hugo Chavez is a genius.

Talk About Staged!

Did any of you catch President Obama's "press conference" in Lisbon Portugal? He's been making the rounds--preaching to the world. But this particular press conference caught my attention right off. After he patted himself on the back for a job well done, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a paper and said he would now take questions. He looked at his list and called on the first plant, errh journalist, who happened to be a woman from PBS (George Soros funded). Her question was regarding the Republican resistance to Obama's agenda. He then gave an "outlined" answer to the woman's question. He continued in this manner for the entire briefing. Whatever happened to the days where journalists clamored to get their question answered first? I think it's shameless that journalists allow themselves to be used and manipulated in this manner. But then--what do I know?

If This Doesn't GiveYou Goosebumps--Nothing Will!

Arrogant???

The epitomy of arrogance:  Nearly the entire world (France, England, China, Japan, Greece, Spain, Ireland--not to mention approximately 80% of your fellow-countrymen) tells you that you're heading for an economical train wreck.  But you stay the course because YOU KNOW MORE THAN EVERYONE ELSE.  Who could this be?  None other than our own President Barrack Hussein Obama. 

Meanwhile, he's also reaching out to "heal" relationships between the United States and (our good "friends"--my own insert) the Muslim world.

Obama hosts economic summit with Muslim entrepreneurs from 50 nations
"In a step the White House hopes will help shift relations beyond decades of talk about terrorism and conflict, Obama brought entrepreneurs from 50 countries to Washington for two days to spur economic ties.  The president pledged to host the meeting in a landmark speech in Cairo last June, when he also called for a "new beginning" to relations between the United States and the Muslim world.

There is no doubt in my mind that this man is a Muslim pretending to be a Christian.  You decide for yourself.

Waddya Think?

Genesis 41:29-31 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

Is it possible that we have just had the seven years of plenty?

The Fox Guarding the Hen House

Those assigned to monitor the "waste" of our president's stimulus bill have such a daunting task that they need special accommodations in order to carry out this assignment.  Each of them has an office with--I'm sure--a large conference room.  Hmmm. . . not good enough?  They are holding this conference at the Ritz Carlton in Phoenix, Arizona.  The rooms rent for approximately $300-$500/day (just like your last business trip, right?).  At this summit they will discuss various techniques to detect and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse, as well as larger issues of transparency and public awareness.  Portions of the meeting will be open to the public, while other parts will be closed.  Be sure to click on the first link and take a photo tour of this antiquated hotel.  I'm guessing that the taxpayer (you) is also paying air fare/private jets to bring these hard-working blokes into town.  How successful do YOU think they'll be?  (If these links don't work just google "stimulus waste convention" and you'll find everything you need.  Happy hunting.)

I've Been Gone

The hubby and I decided to take a much needed vacation and headed for Arizona. We wanted to show our support for that "battered" state by spending a little cash there. While we were traveling I took it upon myself to ask the "locals" what they thought of their governor and the "lawsuit". The results were surprising. Most people had no opinion whatsoever about Jan Brewer--governor of AZ. The only firm comment I got was "She's a drunk!" As to the lawsuit--most Arizonans looked perplexed when I asked them about it. "Who's being sued?" I find it amazing that while the country is anxiously watching to see what happens with Arizona's fight to secure it's border--most of it's citizens could not care less. Granted, most of my contact with the locals was at the gas stations or grocery stores, but come on???  I guess they'll pay attention when they're annexed into Mexico!

This Will Warm Your Heart!

I Think They've Been Very Successful, Don't You?

In my research I came across this list of Communist Goals that was compiled in 1963.  Be sure to read all of them--it's chilling.
 
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
 
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

  1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
  2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
  3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
  4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
  5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
  6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
  7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
  8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
  9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
  10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
  11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
  12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
  13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.  (Pledge of Allegiance comes to mind)
  14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
  15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
  16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
  17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
  18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
  19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
  20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy making positions.
  21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
  22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
  23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
  24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
  25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
  26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
  27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
  28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
  29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
  30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
  31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture.& Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
  32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
  33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
  34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
  35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
  36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
  37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
  38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
  39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
  40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
  41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
  42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
  43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
  44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
  45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

Which Party Is It?

After reading their agenda, see if you can identify the party which aspires to these achievements.  Do you see any of this happening today?
  • Micro-manage every aspect of each American
  • Raise taxes on gasoline and diesel
  • Quickly vote to pass "Cap and Trade"
  • Increase unemployment
  • Raise taxes
  • Food & energy shortages
  • Allow undocumented American's free reign
  • Fight the "free speech" wackos
  • Advance more laws and rules to silence opposition
  • Quash Fox News Channel and talk radio
  • More regulation, government control of media
  • Take profit from corporations, put into a government spending program--increasing welfare and unemployment benefits
  • Free housing for the poor--must increase taxes by 50% for those who work
  • Lower test scores of all graduates each year
  • Carefully place judges to undermine right wingers
  • Influx of Mexican and Hispanic squatters--more votes for us
  • Twist the system in churches to make our values "the rule".
  • Encourage Islam to move forward with help from ACLU, DOE, and NEA
  • Raise the minimum wage to $10.00/hour to get some serious unemployment figures.
  • Unemployment will be made indefinite
  • Registered Democrats that vote will be exempt from income taxes on income below $25,000.00 per year in each year that they vote.
For those of you who are interested, the party is United Progressive Socialist States of America
http://upssa.com/
Do you still see the word "Progressive" as harmless?  Knowing that the word socialist or communist would be unacceptable to the majority of Americans, the "left" has coined the term "progressive" to imply they're for change.  Beware!

Fire Congress!

We've heard a lot about extending the Bush tax cuts--which our cowardly Congress chose to ignore.  They all went home in order to campaign for their re-election.  As Obama claims to watch out for the "middle-class" he knew full well that extension of the Bush tax cuts would put money in the pockets of all
Americans. He was firmly against extending the cuts.  What does this mean to you? 

In 2001 & 2003 Congress enacted several tax cuts to investors, small business owners, and families.  These will all expire on January 1, 2011--some call it The Day of Reckoning.  Personal income tax will rise.  The top income tax rate will rise from 35% to 39.6% (this is the rate at which 2/3 of American small business profits are taxed.)  Let that number sink in!  People will pay up to forty percent tax rate.  What would that do to your income?  The lowest rate is from 10% to 15%.  All rates in between these to rates will also rise.  (So much for saving the middle class!)
  • According to the Tax Policy Center, the number of taxpaying families will rise from 4 million to 28 million--that includes you, my friend.  And at higher rates.
  • Teachers will no longer be able to deduct classroom expenses.
  •  Tax benefits for education and teaching will be reduced
  • Deductions for tuition and fees no longer available
  • Student loan interest deduction disallowed

I've Been Reading Lately

Daniel Hannan--elected to the EU at age 27
Want advice from a member of the European parliament?  Before you say "no", keep in mind that Europe is about 10 years ahead of us in their own "social agenda".  I recently finished reading "The New Road to Serfdom" by Daniel Hannan--a twice elected British member of the European Parliament.  Interesting reading!  His caution to America: "I really hope you've thought this through, my friends. Because, believe me, there is no going back."  If you've watched the news lately you've seen the civil unrest in European countries and in Greece.  This is our own future if we don't make changes now.  There are several lessons to be learned by observing foreign countries--regarding America's situation.  Hannan lists the following six observations:
1.  Federal agencies and programs are much easier to establish than to discontinue.  (Example: Fannie Mae)
2.  Although government spending can have a short-term stimulating effect, state agencies are unwieldy organizations.  Often the worst downturn will be over before their full fiscal impact is felt.
3.  Debt incurred by supposed contingency measures can take decades to pay off, as notionally emergency policies become a permanent drain on the treasury.
4.  There is a tendency in government to expand at times of crisis, not in order to meet the crisis, but in order to allow politicians to demonstrate they are "doing everything in their power." (You've probably heard the joke that the country would be better off if Congress adjourned for 11 months out of the year!)
5.  Such expansion  is most damaging and most permanent when it is carried out at a time of one-party dominance.
6.  Whatever the economical consequence of state expansion, there are always deleterious democratic consequences, as the advantages of decentralization are lost.  (Citizens find that decisions that impact them the most are made not by locally elected officials, but by the appointed directors of large bureaucracies.)
ARE WE LISTENING AMERICA???

Doctrine of Inevitability of Gradualism

Ok folks, here's a new term for you (compliments of Glenn Beck)!  .  DOCTRINE OF INEVITABLILITY OF GRADUALISM Doesn't sound like much but it can be lethal if you're not paying attention.  Basically it means, once your foot is in the door--all possibilities are on the table.  Here's an example:  Recently the "powers that be" in Washington recommended rating appliances according to their "green" impact on the world.  Now that sounds harmless enough--in fact it may even sound like a good idea.  A few years down the road however, they decide that YOU aren't doing YOUR part for the world by making good choices in your purchases.  So, before you know it--they're "taxing" you for buying the "non-green" items.  What happens?  People obviously purchase what the government wants them to.  What do manufacturers do?  They either build the way the government says, or they go out of business.  It is ONE MORE governmental control on your decisions; one more way for government to control business.  If they started out by saying "You buy the appliances we tell you to buy" you'd rebel--"NO WAY" ! But if they do it GRADUALLY, they've succeeded before you even know what's happening.

Enjoy a baked potato?  Well, you'd better hurry because Mr. Obama's administration is about to declare war on it.  Since you can't decide what type of food is GOOD for you--they're going to try to limit your choices.  As an Idahoan--I am furious over this newest step in governmental control.  Don't believe me?  Check it out:
 http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5923510/latest_enemy_of_the_people_the_potato.html

One more example of DOCTRINE OF INEVITABLILITY OF GRADUALISM.  Better gobble down that steak, and enjoy that butter now.  If the Obamas have their way--you'll have to pay a hefty price for them in the future--and you can bet that hefty price won't go to the farmer/rancher!  Wake Up America!

One of my astute readers made this comment:  "Mr. Obama is a chain smoker--but we can't eat potatoes???"

For another example read the new blog entry "A New Way To Tax."

A New Way To Tax--STAY AHEAD OF IT FOLKS!

The bill is
HR-4646 introduced by US Rep Peter DeFazio D-Oregon and US Senator Tom
Harkin D-Iowa.  It is now in committee and will probably not be
brought out until after the Nov. elections. Suggest that you pass this
along and also to your state Senator and Representative and US
Congressman and Senators.
One percent transaction tax is proposed
President Obama's finance team is recommending a transaction tax. His
plan is  to sneak it in after the November election to keep it under
the radar. This is a 1% tax on all transactions at any financial
institution i. e. Banks, Credit Unions, etc.. Any deposit you make, or
move around within your account, i. e. transfer to, will have a 1% tax
charged. If your pay check or your social Security or whatever is
direct deposit, 1% tax charged. If you hand carry a check in to
deposit, 1% tax charged, If you take cash in to deposit, 1% tax
charged. This is from the man who promised that if you make under
$250,000 per year, you will not see one penny of new tax. Keep y our
eyes and ears open, you will be amazed at what you learn.Some will say aw it's just 1%... remember once the tax is there they
can raise it at will.
See what Nancy has to say about this wonderful idea!

No Wonder People Don't Believe He's A Christian

President Obama seems to have a problem with the remembering his history.  More than once he has omitted the word GOD while quoting the Declaration of Independence.  He said (quote) ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that each of us are endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,’”

The Declaration of Independence actually says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”   Does this tell you the direction in which the president is heading?  It should!
When asked why the president did not use the words "endowed by their Creator" in his Monday speech, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters on Tuesday, "I haven't seen the comments, Lester. But I can assure you the president believes in the Declaration of Independence.”  Notice he didn't say "The President believes in GOD".  Sometimes it's what you DON'T say--and this speaks volumes!

Smelly Underwear :0)

There's an old sea story about a ship's Captain who inspected his sailors,
and afterward told the first mate that his men smelled bad.  The Captain
suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear
occasionally. The first mate responded, "Aye, aye sir, I'll see to it immediately!"  
The first mate went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, "The
Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear."
He continued, "Pittman, you change with Jones, McCarthy, you change with
Witkowski, and Brown, you change with Schultz. Now GET TO IT!"

THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS: Someone may come along and promise "Change", but
don't count on things smelling any better.

Van Jones; Self-Proclaimed Communist--But What a Smile!

 Now some of you may wonder why I'm posting information on Van Jones.  He has since "resigned" his office of "Green Jobs" Czar  (President Obama "bypassed" the senate confirmation to place his buddy in this position) after so much media attention was called to his background.  (Remember, the "green" campaign is designed to  place such heavy restrictions/taxes on businesses that they can no longer compete in the world economy.) He is a self-proclaimed communist.  It is because of his background and the fact that he is SO CLOSE to the president that I felt it necessary to include him.  This is the calibur of man that Obama chooses as one of his most trusted advisors.  Even though he has resigned from this position he is still working within Obama's organization.  Doesn't he just give you one of those "warm fuzzy" feelings?  Feel free to look him up on Google.  He claims that he was the "victim" of a smear campaign--that others have misconstrued his words, etc.  He spent time in prison where, it is alleged, that he helped to write the president's stimulus package.  He's a completely "charming" man; killer smile, engaging, and very personable.  But look deeper folks, I beg you!

Can You Believe It--Foreign Governments Suing Arizona???

In a new twist in the fight over Arizona’s immigration law, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer on Tuesday asked a federal court to disallow foreign governments from joining the U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit to overturn the law.
The move comes in response to a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (the nation's most LIBERAL court) ruling issued Monday, allowing nearly a dozen Latin American countries — Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru and Chile — to submit friend-of-the-court briefs
“As do many citizens, I find it incredibly offensive that these foreign governments are using our court system to meddle in a domestic legal dispute and to oppose the rule of law,” the Republican governor said in a statement shortly after the state’s motion was filed Tuesday evening.

LET ME SEE IF I GOT THIS RIGHT

 IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR 
 IF YOU CROSS THE IRANIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU ARE DETAINED INDEFINITELY. 
 IF YOU CROSS THE AFGHAN BORDER ILLEGALLY, YOU GET SHOT.

 IF YOU CROSS THE VENEZUELAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE BRANDED A SPY AND YOUR FATE WILL BE SEALED. 
 IF YOU CROSS THE CUBAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE THROWN INTO POLITICAL PRISON TO ROT.
 IF YOU CROSS THE MEXICAN BORDER ILLEGALY YOU WILL BE THOWN INTO JAIL FOR UP TO TWO YEARS.
 BUT,
 IF YOU CROSS THE U.S. BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET
1 - A JOB,
2 - A DRIVERS LICENSE,

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HAD A FIRM GRASP OF THE SITUATION - BEFORE WE VOTE ALL THE UNPRINCIPLED SELF SERVING OUT OF CONGRESS IN NOVEMBER!

GET YOUR RING YET?

"I promise 100% transparency in my administration."
"I promise NO NEW TAXES on a family making less than $250K a year."
"I will allow 5 days of public comment before I sign any bills."
"I will remove earmarks for PORK projects before I sign any bill."
"I will end Income Tax for seniors making less than $50K a year"
"I'll put the Health Care negotiations on CSPAN so everyone can see who is at the table!"
"I'll have no lobbyists in my administration."

How Naive of Me!

When I hear the term "redistribution of wealth" the first thing that comes to my mind is "tax the rich and give to the poor". After reading Dinesh D'Souza's book "The Roots of Obama's Rage" I realize that my sights are greatly limited. Obama's plan is to diminish the wealth of the UNITED STATES by weakening our reserves, military capacity, monetary wealth, etc. In other words, he's leveling the playing field for other countries--at OUR expense! He foolishly thinks that other countries will "like" us more if we are not a super power to be feared. Thus, his "apologetic" attitude to foreign countries comes into clear focus.

Obama is fixated on his father; a man who had several wives, several children (whom he desereted--including Barrack), was an alcoholic who drank himself to the point where both legs had to be amputated, and he died in a car accident while intoxicated. But, Barrack's mother (a "flower-child" if there ever was one) thought Obama senior was brilliant and taught her son to think likewise. Obama fixated on "righting the wrongs" perpetrated on his father and grandfather (Kenyan citizens) by imperialistic countries such as--you guessed it--the United States and England (have you seen the way he snubs the Brits?)

How does he do this? In large part--by GREEN JOBS--of all things. Under the guise of "global warming" and "green" environmental causes, he's able to convince legislators to place heavy restrictions on American businesses--Cap and Trade anyone? For those who don't know, Cap and Trade is a tax levied against businesses for carbon emmissions. Each business is only allowed so much carbon emission. (You know--the carbon emmitted by trees, and 'green' stuff.) If you use more than your allotted amount you must pay a fine or buy carbon allotments from other businesses who don't use all of theirs. Are foreign countries on board with this? No way! They realize it will cripple their own economy. Hence the United States is the only country Cap and Trade hurts. Thus, we are restricted while other countries progress. If you don't believe me--study Obama's drilling for oil policy. He gives money to other countries for this purpose and puts overwhelming restrictions on the United Sates. Have you ever wondered why the Chinese are drilling for oil just off our shores?

Obama doesn't think he's "hurting" America. He believes he's helping the rest of the world. His desire is a GLOBAL economy, global federations, and global rule. It will never happen. There are too many overly ambitious men who desire power, wealth, and world domination. As anyone with half a brain knows, when the United States is weak--rulers, dictators and common thugs will rule the world. Just look at what is happening in Mexico--their weak government is being overtaken by drug cartells.

We must vote this November. Do you homework. You'd better find out who aligns themselves with this president and VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE! The future of our country and freedom is at stake!

Neo-Marxist Saul Alinsky's: Rules For Radicals

Saul Alinsky, though deceased, is getting lots of attention these days. Many of you have never heard of him, but he wrote the book "Rules for Radicals". Many of our "progressive" (seems like a harmless word, doesn't it?) politicians use this as a training manual for "community organizing" and other governmental changes. The Dedication of this book ought to put fear into every heart that beats for freedom.

Opening page - Dedication
“Lest we forget, at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”
"In this book we are concerned with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people; to realize the democratic dream of equality, justice, peace..."Radicals must be resilient, adaptable to shifting political circumstances, and sensitive enough to the process of action and reaction to avoid being trapped by their own tactics and forced to travel a road not of their choosing." p.6

"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 of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage -- the political paradise of communism." p.10
Obama helped fund 'Alinsky Academy': "The Woods Fund, a nonprofit on which Obama served as paid director from 1999 to December 2002, provided startup funding and later capital to the Midwest Academy.... Obama sat on the Woods Fund board alongside William Ayers, founder of the Weather Underground domestic terrorist organization.... 'Midwest describes itself as 'one of the nation's oldest and best-known schools for community organizations, citizen organizations and individuals committed to progressive social change.'... Midwest teaches Alinsky tactics of community organizing."

Obama and the Cult of Alinsky: "True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism, Alinsky taught. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within. Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties.

"Obama is an Alinskyite.... Obama spent years teaching workshops on the Alinsky method. In 1985 he began a four-year stint as a community organizer in Chicago, working for an Alinskyite group called the Developing Communities Project.... Camouflage is key to Alinsky-style organizing. While trying to build coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant churchgoer." (By Richard Poe, 11-27-07)

Letter from L. DAVID ALINSKY, son of Neo-Marxist Saul Alinsky, regarding Obama:
"Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday." --

In the words of Alinsky: "Agitate, aggravate, educate, and then organize."

The Voice of Reason--Please Listen

David Axelrod

David Axelrod, President Obama's chief strategist and media advisor, has so many ties to communist leaders in the United States that I cannot list them all.  He was raised by extreme leftist parents who obviously left their mark on their son David.  I have listed several articles on the internet referring to David's communist connections.  Take a gander when you have time.

LIFE

"Life is hard.  It's harder if you're stupid."
                                         John Wayne

John Holdren--Advisor to President Obama on Science & Technology

One of the most dispicable characters on President Obama's "staff"  is John Holdren.  Once again, his credentials look impressive.  But if you look at his ideology is comes dangerously close to some of the most evil dictators the world has ever seen.  In the Book Ecoscience which he coauthored with Paul P Ehrlich and Anne H Ehrlich, Mr. Holdren  reveals his interest in population control/social controls.  The following are direct quotes from the book Ecoscience:
If this doesn't frighten you . . . nothing will!


Involuntary fertility control
In today's world, however, the number of children in a family is a matter of profound public concern. The law regulates other highly personal matters. For example, no one may lawfully have more than one spouse at a time. Why should the law not be able to prevent a person from having more than two children? ...


A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.
...
The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births.

If this could be accomplished, security might be provided by an armed international organization, a global analogue of a police force. Many people have recognized this as a goal, but the way to reach it remains obscure in a world where factionalism seems, if anything, to be increasing. The first step necessarily involves partial surrender of sovereignty to an international organization.
I believe they attribute these ideas to "think tanks".  People with extraordinary brilliance, get together and try to solve the world's problems.  God save me from this type of brilliance!  If you're interested in reading the entire article, the link below should provide that for you--as well as photos of the book Ecoscience.
