The Obama Administration - Tyranny Begins With A Single Benign Act Of Lawlessness
Start small: dispose of a pesky corporate CEO, who is not compliant and objects to your grand design for the U.S. automobile industry. Who could object to the summary dismissal of the unpopular Mr. Wagoner, after all he was just getting in the way of the grand plan. Never mind that President Obama had no such legal authority. By simple fiat, he fired a sitting corporate CEO, and overrode those with the legal authority to make such decisions, the GM board of directors.
Like so many politicians before him, he instinctively knows that in an opportune economic crisis, it is only a small step from being the duly elected “President” to being transformed into a charismatic leader with the power to bend the will of the people to his own. It is comforting to know that his obsequious followers in the heretofore-free press will deal with criticism harshly. Even proposing mind-boggling trillion dollar per year deficits for the next decade are met with wild enthusiasm by an adoring press. And the trap is sprung - he begins to believe his own press.
Emboldened by the muted public response to his first indiscretion the popular new leader is crowned, His Royal Highness (HRH) Obama, and summarily rewrites the bankruptcy laws to suit his royal whim. Through thuggish coercion HRH Obama and his court forced the senior-secured lenders to take a secondary position to unsecured lenders in the “pre-packaged” Chrysler-FIAT bankruptcy plan. HRH Obama in his royal decree characterized the 20 or so lenders who initially opposed his plan as “a small group of speculators”. His left wing “nut job” lackey Representative Dingell characterized them as “vultures” and warned that they “will be dealt with in court”. Their crime one can only assume was being moneylenders. Lest there be unrest in the kingdom the 20 recalcitrant lenders were also made to bow before their popular sovereign.
Until recently, senior secured lenders, those that held a contract that gave them first lien on a companies assets, had a preferential position in any bankruptcy proceeding unless of course they “voluntarily” give up that right. HRH Obama has by simple royal fiat and thuggery eliminated this centuries old legal right. By royal edict he has managed to payoff his loyal political supports, the UAW, with a majority, 55%, stake in the new Chrysler-FIAT consortium.
I guess the new standard at the Obama Court is to encourage financial institutions to ignore their fiduciary responsibility to the “widows and orphans” pension plans they manage, if it gets in the way of HRH Obama’s Chicago style political payola.
In time-honored tyrannical tradition HRH takes advantage of an economic crisis and selects an unpopular target: Greedy Wall Street bankers! Hedge fund moneylenders! Speculators! Shameful profiteers! It is so ever so tempting to fall back on classic stereotyping. Appealing to innate prejudice is like taking candy from a baby for an articulate politician who wants his way at any cost.
HRH Obama’s populist demagogic outcries against America’s 200-year history of free market capitalism seem limitless but no doubt well thought out. Who could object if a young and popular king teaches these scoundrels the lesson they disserve? In such dire circumstances who could blame him for ignoring the legal niceties?
With two simple and apparently benign lawless acts this popular young sovereign has changed the American ideal from a nation laws to a nation where the monarch can override centuries of legal tradition with a simple wave of the royal hand.
Our Anglo-American legal traditions have been stood on their head. It is as if the Magna Carta had never been written and King John never accepted that his will could be bound by the law.
Where will we go next: what law will we bent or broken if it gets in the way of HRH’s vision of an American social revolution?
May I suggest a cage match between you a HRH perhaps?
In all seriousness, I have to agree. Regardless of how much funding the feds pump into a publicly held corporation they are nothing more than an investor unless/until a representative is elected to the board. Even at that, said representative is only entitled to their lone vote. Good points.

The car companies gave him “legal” authority when the companies came grovelling for money.
It has nothing to do with Obama’s grand plan for an American car industry, it has to do with the Run your business successfully and the government will have nothing to do with you.
May 12th, 2009 at 11:38 am
@Dan
The ends do not justify the means. The Constitution and duly passed acts of Congress are the only means to confer legal authority. All other acts usurp legal authority.

Government control over private citizens and companies has been growing alarmingly over the past years, most notably with the passage of the Patriot Act. People want steady industries, government-insured jobs, government-controlled healthcare, they want the supposed security these things bring. However, many do not consider the loss of liberty that goes with it. A third-party using my money to fund someone else’s healthcare is stealing, against my right to personal property, and just wrong. Government control of industry is inefficient and wasteful, and rarely produces as many jobs as a free or freer market. It should be noted that while they could produce jobs out of thin air workers would be payed less for each extraneous job given out. He who would trade liberty for security deserves neither.
As a preemptive strike against those who would flame against me for opposing socialized medicine, yes, everyone has a moral responsibility to help those who need medical care. However, using government to coerce individuals into doing so is wrong. It is not your right to impose your morals onto other people. It is not your right to use the government to coerce people into giving up their property for others. It is your right and responsibility to go through with and convince other people that they should help those in need.
Also, for the more pragmatic financial arguments, the healthcare system was fine until the government “fixed” it. At one point prices for healthcare were so low that people demanded government intervention to “save” the industry. The healthcare system is best left to a free market with no government intervention.

You know, the direction Amerika is going in, is actually closer to fascism then any other form of dictatorship. The reason is, that when you have a group of elite politician’s sponsoring the funding of oligarch bankster elites, turning everything, and I mean everything into a corporation, or corporate run operation, and forcefully devaluing the monetary system, that’s fascism.

There is a limit to the power grab. The American people are tolerant, forgiving and patient. However when that limit is reached, there will be a backlash that will not be pretty. I suspect that a lot of more discerning people are just about to get a belly full of high-handed Chicago styled political shenanigans that run rough shod over people of good will. Greed is justly loathed but arrogance to the point that laws and rights are set aside as cheap dope for the ignorant, will not long endurer on the American political landscape.
May 14th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Today, unlike the beginnings of the two major political parties, the only difference between Democrats (1828) and Republicans (1861) today is petty rivalry over the lesser issues; the major issues being national sovereignty, our money system, and that which the Revolutionary War was fought for, perpetual Independence as a nation..
Having been trained as a socialist in the Los Angeles school system of the 1950s, then remaining in the Democrat Party for over 44 years (my objective learning beginning in the Army and later, revealing that my public schooling was anti-free market indoctrination), I have to agree with Mr. Bologna.
In studying long term economic history it is obvious that the BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-OBAMA CONTINUUM almost an exact “carbon copy” of the Republican-Democrat economic policies of the 1920s-30s that turned a mild recession, that would likely have lasted between six months and 18 months, into more than ten years of catastrophic losses for most Americans, longer for others. Massive government involvement and currency inflation brought about the “Great” Depression.
Now we are seeing the most spectacularly humongous inflation of a money supply since the Wiemar Republic’s demise into nazism (fascism [or corporate state, if you prefer that term] mixed with genocide and megalomania unbridled)
The Obama plan is obviously simply a massive acceleration of the socialistic polices of the Bush1, Clinton and Bush 2, a continuum.
As the famous philosopher and movie star, Will Rogers, commented on Democrats and Republicans during the Eisenhower years, “There is not one Dime’s worth of difference between them”. A cup of coffee was five to ten cents then. An ice cream bar could be had for a Nickel. A Babe Ruth candy bar was 3 cents. I would say that today, “there is not a Penny’s worth of difference between the two MAJOR parties”. What can you buy for a Penny today?
Yup. It looks like we are in for some really bad times ahead, due to a repeat of the 1920s-30s-40s central banking manipulation of politicians and governments around the world. Sadly, all that is necessary to bring back prosperity is the elimination the anti-business attitude of most local, county, state and federal government, and a return to an unfettered solid money system. GET GOVERNMENT OUT OF IT!!!
Due to government regulations and fees the costs to just get a business going has risen by at least 1,000% since the 1950s. After such a major cost it is necessary to contend with interlopers of various stripes trying to “get a piece of your action” (using government coercion without any effort of their own) through any means possible, from intimidation by gangs demands of “protection money” to opulently rich labor union bosses tricking working people into handing over their money to support (job killing) socialistic candidates for political offices.
Keep the TEA PARTY going until all the Republican-Democrat “earmark”-”pork” specialists are thrown out of office; this includes the “liberals” and “conservatives” who have “embezzled” more than $2.4 Trillion from the SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUND over the past 20+ years (pretended “borrowing”), which would have been secure for the next 50 to 70 years if politicians had left it alone.
Let’s all support the TENTH AMENDMENT Project. It is time to end centralized power that is in violation of our Constitution and return power to the people. Read the TENTH AMENDMENT; it is very powerful; and a major protector of the rights of the people.
A. Benton Edmons, editorialist, The Universal Democrat-WCN
May 14th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
I find myself in complete agreement with A. Benton, yet would take this argument a few steps further;
It is not merely the continuing state emergency experienced these days, nor the “wars” fought in our name, or rogue departments within the “government” , the side note stating that “run away Grand Jury’s although Constitutional are to be considered obsolete and ignored, nor FDR’s declaration OF emergency in 1933 (never rescinded), the manipulation of gold prices, the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 and the IRS, the practice of judges to misinform (or not inform at all) jurors of their real powers AS jurors beginning in 1885, nor the incorporation of the “United States of America” by “Congress” in 1871, nor the Leiber Code of 1863…
No, good people, this all began on March 27, 1861 when the Southern States stood as one and walked out of a sitting session of Congress, leaving too few left to fill a quorum to close said session. Congress died that day, as did the Constitution. The President, as the sole remaining branch with any authority to run (on a daily basis) any part of the government.
Lincoln declared a state of emergency, martial law was imposed, and “Congress) was called to sit at the pleasure of the President… an event that continues to this day.
600,000 Citizens died during the Civil War, and that price has enslaved us all.

If you have any doubt, study 20th C. US history and it’ll all make sense.This is NOT the deficit spending A.Hamilton designed, but it is the over-reaching, all powerful executive branch planned by Martin Van Buren and implemented by Andrew Jackson of political spoils/payback to loyal party members.TR and cousin FDR would be SOOOO proud of this ‘messiah’ of a president. This is what the Clinton’s weren’t able to accomplish, thanks to the voters in ‘94. We the voters need to stand up for liberty in 2010! Let’s put REAL Coolidge/Goldwater/Reagen conservatives in Congress and the W.H. in 2012.God bless/save the USA1
May 15th, 2009 at 10:46 am
Like A. Benton Edmons, I grew up in the same L.A. School System, my indoctrination came at a young age.
It took a long time, and much study to get out of that mind-set, but, in the words of Dr. King, (borrowed from someone else) I am Free at last- Great God almighty, I am free at last.
My mind is able to grasp that things are not right, here. I, for one, am terribly impressed with Dr. Ron Paul. He has a Litmus Test for all bills which come before him: Is it based on the Constitution? If not- forget it, vote it down and go on. Pretty simple, folks. I would wish that you all would get behind his Audit of the so-called Federal Reserve. Where is OUR money? Why won’t they answer.
This is OUR land, Folks- not the gummint’s. My fear for this land that I love is a simple one. That it will have to be done now, or it will have to be done later, at the point of a gun.
We need to take it back from the 500 and some idiots who are running it now. Let’s just throw the bums out, and start afresh.

1. My hats off to this Blog writer for speaking the Truth about Obama & others.
2. So many of the people commenting here are right about a lot of things/Acts pushing our country to socialism & taking our Freedoms away.
3. The Following people need to be put in jail immediately for violating the U.S. Constitution: Mr. B. Obama for not showing his 1961 Birth Certificate with Doctor/Nurse signatures, Hospital, and State Raised Seal. Nancy Pelosi & Howard Dean for allowing Obama to run in the Democrat Primaries for President without seeing Obama’s 1961 Birth Certificate. Obama committed Perjury when he swore in on Jan 20, 2009 to Uphold the U.S. Constitution. By swearing in without showing his original 1961 Birth Certificate he Broke the Law. Nancy Pelosi & Howard Dean broke the law by Neglect of Duty for the offices which they hold (they too swore in to uphold the Constitution)
4. Comes to my last point: WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT??!!
I have the power of speach just like Obama has. Maybe even better. I have the Power to write convincing Letters when needed. I have Power on the Internet & can use it against Obama just like he used it against McCain.
Will I go all over the country & make speaches for Obama’s 1961 Birth Certificate or have him removed from Office, I do not know at this time since I have to care for a family member with medical problems. But, maybe I can convince the top Commanders that Obama has No Constitutional Authority & to FORCEABLE REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE USING THE MARINE CORP.

The new Leader of the Free World is already following the same protocol as Adolph Hitler. Both are/were men with inordinate Charisma who started their “Regimes” as “Saviors” of the People. As soon as they gained the trust of the Masses, they began to subtly “change” seemingly innocuous things like Gun Control in spite of the Constituyion’s avowal that We the People have a right to bear arms.
Later on each of these guys started to work on the heads of the people with such maneuvers as instilling National Pride in the hearts and minds of impressionable Youth. President Obama is now proposing that our youth be indoctrinated into young police force groups sans Uniforms. These Young men will not be spies in plain clothes and will not be allowed to attend a Church, will not wear uniforms in order to keep unsuspecting people under surveillance, to report any “trouble makers” and to “protect” the People from such.
Sounds like the Fourth Reich in embryo, and if you are in denial then you have not been keeping current with the real News that would surely be suppressed if it were not for writers such as Pat Buchanan and other Conservatives go forth courageously and who probably scare the you know what out of Obama. And that is precisely why he wants to silence them.
There you go again Mr. President… Will free speech be next?

Sorry but I must disagree with the general thrust of this entry. That Wagoner had proven his incompetency is beyond question, surely. GM failed miserably to front the market. Wagoner was guiding a corpse and was unable to prepare it for either a decent funeral or resurrection. Bad times came and GM stood flatfooted on the edge of a precipice.
I challenge you or anyone to prove that his resignation contravened corporate law or practice in any way.
More importantly I’d like to see a reasoned suggestion as to how GM might have been saved by some other path than the one taken.

In the 1930’s Hitler began directly controlling industry, and in fact improved Germany’s economy and self-image. If he would have stopped there, he would today be viewed as the greatest leader in Germany’s history.
History buffs, look at the comparison of then and now…it is very eerie. If we are not careful, the forces of fascism in our country will destroy the only true politically and economically free country that has ever existed in the world.
May 17th, 2009 at 8:54 am
I absolutely agree that “President” Obama is very wrong for this country. When are we, as a nation, going to wake up and realize that taking over banks, closing down our car manufacturers, pushing government controlled health care, and doing whatever you want; however you want is the first step to a socialized society. I was under the impression that our ancestors came to this country for freedom and yet here we are 200+ years later going after what our ancestors left. What Obama is pushing for is palatable to the masses now but when the true price tag is revealed it will then be too late to stop him. God save our country and our freedom. P.S. what gave Obama the right to ask(tell) Georgetown University to cover IHS when he was there? A sign of his true feelings about Christianity.
May 17th, 2009 at 10:44 am
are you guys seriously comparing President Obama to Adolf Hitler??? Obama shut down Guantanamo Bay, which under Bush ruthlessly terrorized innocent citizens and took away their constitutional rights, made plans to pull troops out of Iraq, a war which is costing us billions of dollars and sinking America further and further into debt, and he’s already taken action to try to get the economy back into shape. Adolf Hitler caused the genocide of over 6 million Jews.
Solid comparison.

What is a country coming to when a unknown nobody of unknown citizenship makes elegent speeches gives everyone the answers they want to hear, is likened unto the Messiah and finally voted into the office of President of the United States of America. HAS THIS COUNTRY TURNED INTO A COUNTRY OF IGNORANT MORONS? THE ANSWER IS YES ! I considered myself a Republican for about 45 years, but after GW, I am now in the “nothing party”. I’ve watched as our Democratic and Republican Senate and House of Representatives do NOTHING as the Oil Companies RAPE the American people. The banks RAPE us with interest and finance charges. The Drug companies RAPE us with unimaginable prices for drugs that keep people alive. Doctors must charge huge prices to make up for the Insurance companies charge them. The automobile companies RAPE us because the Unions RAPE them. Even a prostitute would get tired of being RAPED. What is it going to take for the American Citizen going to get tired of RAPE. I don’t want to get started with the immigration issue. But if anyone want to look up a speech by Teddy Roosevelt made in 1907 about his ideas on immigration and BEING AN AMERICAN you will understand what made this country great, instead of our current pansy-wansy ideas. This speech is well worth reading. I’m a patriotic AMERICAN that spent 4 tours in Vietnam. The illustrious leader of this country has NO experience in leadership, and NO experience concerning the military………but his speeches are good and he plans to bring “Change”, starting with Gun Control. If he were really intellegent he would look at all the countries that had total gun control and a Royal Highness for leader and the countries became tyranny Controlled and there was no freedom of speech, no freedom of worship, no freedom. Some of these countries were Germany under Adolph, Cuba, under Fidel, Russia, and numerous others. The 3-step way that they used are as follows. Complete REGISTRATION, next is total CONFISCATION and finally, ANNIHILATION. WAKE UP YOU BUNCH OF MORONS or you’ll get a very rude and undesired wake-up call.
May 17th, 2009 at 8:56 pm

Remember the GOLDEN RULE of Capitalism: “Whoever has the Gold, makes the rules”.
If it is not uncommon for private equity investors to mandate an executive shake-up as a condition of investing new capital into the company ,why doesn’t the same principle apply here?
The truth is that GM is on the verge of insolvency, thanks to Wagoner. It is perfectly legitimate for any investor (government included) to attach strings to their dollars.
Compare Obama’s actions to Paulson’s actions, in October 08, when Paulson FORCED bank executives to take capital, even when they did not want to. Any observer would note that Paulson’s hand was much heavier than Obama’s. Obama didn’t force GM to take the money. GM came begging for capital, and Obama said “we’ll provide some capital, but on our terms”.

May 19th, 2009 at 9:13 am
Yeah — and “we” have had PLENTY of those from his PREDECESSORS!
I submit that the gambit to require substantially higher fuel efficiencies is a (really quite ADMIRABLE!) “back door” approach to actually COMPELLING people to do what they really SHOULD have been doing (on “THEIR” OWN!) LONG AGO NOW ALREADY!
How can such ever-increasing fuel efficiency requirements possibly be met??! Well, CONTRARY to the notion that has been propagandistically cultivated among a hugely TECHOLOGICALLY IGNORANT preponderance of “We the People” — who have evidently been beguiled into supposing that any meaningful change is predicated on hypothetical “exotic, futuristic” NEW developments “in the laboratory” over, say, the next fifty years or so — it would LONG AGO NOW ALREADY have been possible to implement an alternative-technology drive paradigm for the mere AUTOMOBILE that could have actually PUT AN END to most of “our” abject, addictive dependency on foreign oil! The many people who may not yet be aware of the fact that means for accomplishing that ARE in fact already in hand (and have indeed LONG been so!) need to wise up and understand some basic technological realities:
The truth of the matter is that by the application of very OLD technological concepts — applying to the mere automobile things worked out MANY YEARS AGO NOW ALREADY in much HEAVIER-DUTY systems — “we” could, beginning DECADES ago, have by now easily FLAT-OUT ELIMINATED about THREE-FOURTHS of oil importation to refine into gasoline to fuel “our” automotive vehicular fleet — had “we” but had the wit and the wisdom to do so!! (And “we” could have, incidentally, thereby simply AVOIDED the huge waste of an entire WAR / WORLDWIDE CONFLICT that has now crashed “our” whole economy!)
However OUTRAGEOUS and OUTLANDISH such an assertion may sound to many, make no mistake about it: PRECISELY THAT genuinely, simply IS the implication of the “new” ELECTRIC / I.C.E. “CHIMERA” automotive architectural concept — exemplified by the (hopefully) soon to be forthcoming (but really much belated!) Chevy VOLT — or if not that, then by its now slightly-FARTHER-advanced (recently formally “unveiled”) EUROPEAN counterpart (jovially dubbed the AMPERE), to be followed shortly (no doubt) by still other entries into the “development derby” coming from all those clever folks over in ASIA.
The idea involves BATTERY POWER carrying the car for a number of miles (in the case of the VOLT, FORTY), with an internal combustion engine then kicking in if (and only if) the battery runs down. But FULLY THREE-FOURTHS of all personal auto usage “fits” within a forty-mile power budget! You go to the store, bank, dentist, etc., and you come back home AND PLUG THE CAR BACK INTO THE WALL. MOST OF THE TIME THE PETROLEUM-POWERED ENGINE NEVER RUNS! The car is mainly powered by resources that “WE” can provide for “OUR”SELVES!
Now actually, BOTH components of this “chimera” are VERY OLD technology. ELECTRIC cars have been around since the EARLIEST days of the automobile! (And by the way, the speed record for ELECTRIC-powered cars these days out at the Bonneville Salt Flats now stands IN EXCESS OF FOUR HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR. So how’s THAT for speed and power?) Moreover, the I.C.E “fallback” component, involving a petroleum-powered engine coupled NOT to an elaborate, troublesome, expensive TRANSMISSION / DRIVE TRAIN but, rather, merely to a GENERATOR that supplies ELECTRIC drive motors (the same ones powered by the BATTERY until it runs down!) — is a paradigm implemented MANY YEARS AGO NOW ALREADY on a much larger scale on the RAILROADS and also in the BIGGEST SHIPS on the high seas! Anybody ever hear of the DIESEL-ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE??
The truth is, really BIG-MUSCLE machines have LONG relied on relatively simple, UNbreakable MAGNETIC-force drive elements rather than on complex, fallible mechanical ones — because “we” simply couldn’t BEGIN to engineer a viable FRICTION-based CLUTCH to harness an internal combustion engine — which by its basic nature cannot operate all the way down to ZERO RPM as an ELECTRIC motor can — to start a really HEAVY load moving!
As for the operating cost of such a “chimera”, about EIGHTY CENTS worth of “grid” power “fills the VOLT’S tank”. Eight such forty-mile “fill-ups”, costing about $6.40, carries the vehicle about 320 miles — THE SAME DISTANCE AS A TANK OF GASOLINE THAT COSTS OVER FOUR TIMES AS MUCH! (And if one is smart enough to gather one’s OWN energy for ONE’S SELF via solar photovoltaic panels or a windmill it could even be FREE!) Moreover, such vehicles should also ultimately be MUCH CHEAPER TO BUILD — as one simply DISPENSES WITH the complex, expensive TRANSMISSION / DRIVE TRAIN! (Note that there simply IS NO TRANSMISSION on a Diesel-electric locomotive!)
Furthermore, “we” really SHOULD ALSO have (LONG AGO NOW ALREADY!) seriously begun — as per the recent proposals of famed “oil”man T. Boone (“T-Bone”?) Pickens — the CONVERSION (which could be accomplished as a RETROFIT!) of all those BIG TRUCKS and other heavy vehicles over to NATURAL GAS (in the form of LNG) — which “we” possess (for “OUR”SELVES!) in ABUNDANCE for quite a while longer — until HYDROGEN alternatives eventually come to replace BOTH interim “stopgap” technologies!
So GET BUSY, FOLKS — doing something CONSTRUCTIVE that would actually be USEFUL (in place of much of the “fluff” on which so many people evidently consume themselves nowadays)!
I submit that those who now dither and blather about the “meltdown” in the “financial sector” are in reality BEING DIVERTED AWAY from what really should be the MAIN object of their exasperation — which is actually the FAILURE of “our” past MISguided (or maybe more like MISBEGOTTEN!) MIS”leadership” (of both the “political”, and also “corporate” and OTHER varieties!) who have FAILED to fulfill their ACTUAL obligations to the membership of this society (and others) — which would have been to OPTIMIZE BOTH THE CHARACTER AND THE QUALITY OF “OUR” TECHNOLOGY and PRODUCTS, rather than to merely MAXIMIZE ”THEIR” MONEY!
Now I wonder just how THAT sort of technological / economic realization must now weigh on all the folks who long SPONSORED and BANKROLLED the likes of a Saddam Hussein (however unwittingly) — by blithely buying up so much of what he “had to sell” (and who then brainlessly, wastefully burned it up as a mere fuel to power “our” automobiles!) — and who (or whose kids and grandkids) then subsequently came to be lured off into fighting a dirty little “OIL war” over in Iraq, making “us” lots of enemies there and the world over — in some cases even coming back DEAD OR PERMANENTLY DAMAGED THEMSELVES or maybe having LOST LOVED ONES OR FRIENDS therein?? Surely it is an UGLY, HATEFUL reality to which to have to face up. But would it somehow be any “better” for people to now just meekly try to erect a “psychological defensive barrier of DENIAL”, letting their (under-the-circumstances) RIGHTFUL wrath and ire be “harmlessly” diverted over to and dissipated on mere practitioners of artificial hocus-pocus involving “our” “financial system”?!

Just one more example of our march to socialism, everyone deserves their fair share of what someone else has worked for.
The goverment picks this up and starts delivering a little bit here and a little bit there. Next the goverment decides whats best for everyone, and people go along. Who complains when the kitchen pot is full regardless of what you might have to give up. One day you will need papers to go visit friends or family that don’t live on your street, but that’s ok because traveling is safer now that the goverment regulates what you drive, who can go where, and how long you can stay. Then you are told what kind of work you are best suited for and thats ok because the goverment guarentees that you will always have a job. Now that your job is guarenteed the goverment will tell who goes to school and who goes straight to digging ditches. Thats ok because everything is being taken care of you by King Obama and the rest of the peoples party. Eventually we wont have to worry about anything, which was told to Jews,poles,the union
workers, and about 6 million people in euope. Or the 2 million people that marched to death in SE Asia. And maybe the milloions of people that follow tyrant goverments and brutal relig-
ions that don’t allow you to think for yourself anymore! When will people figure out that to give up the freedom to think for yourself is the beginning of the loss of all freedoms. Unfortunatly everyone is not guarenteed a slice of the pie, you have to earn it.
This requires hard work, sacrifice,thinking about your actions today and tomorrow. If you are so ignorant to believe someone is handing you something for nothing then you deserve to be enslaved. History has always shown that there is a cost for everything, and the only ones that see this for themselves are the ones to survive.

How refreshing, even if some if the posters are technologically behind the times. Solutions?
1) We demand that our “Pretender-in-Chief”, the Imposter President of the United States, PROVE his “bona fides: if he CANNOT prove that he is a Constitutionally qualified President, he and all his appointees, Executive Orders and Signed Laws, must be evicted from the Government, hopefully, by legal and peaceful means.
2) To paraphrase an earlier political campaign, “It’s the CONSTITUTION, Stupid!” Were we abiding, strictly, by the Constitution, we would be able to solve over 90% of our present problems!
3) Automobiles and oil. The VOLT is a pale and “designed to fail” electrical vehicle which only goes 40 miles between charges: check out Tesla Motors! Their electric vehicles go 230 miles between charges and can reach over 120 MPH! But wait: there’s more! Check out the Motionless Electromagnetic Generator (or MEG), which is a patented quantum energy transducer (http://www.cheniere.org), which is as little as 12 to 18 months from production. All the 5 co-patent holders need is about $12 million to set up and run a special lab staffed by 4 very specialized scientists to define the methods to scale the device to whatever size is required: from a 1 watt per second flashlight to an electrical ship’s powerplant producing up to about 44 Terawatts per second, or about twice the power put out by all the world’s electrical powerplants last year, for the entire year, but in one second! The lab will take only 12 to 18 months to complete the required “scaling factor” work. NO fuel is required, because it taps electrical energy DIRECTLY from the quantum vacuum. NO pollution is produced, because quantum energy transduction taps pure, clean, electrical energy DRECTLY from the higher topology of the quantum vacuum, where E = delta t times c squared. Even better, the MEG transduces this power until the elctrical parts wear out! The estimated lifespan of the transducer: at least 20 years! Match the MEG to a Tesla Motors automobile and you have a vehicle of effectively UNLIMITED range! Even more, the MEG can power any land vehicle, any marine vehicle, and any propellor-driven air vehicle, or even a “home electical power plant”: which means that you would be able to power your own home and/or business from an energy transducer right on the property. No more electrical bills, no more power outages, in most States, the excess power you produce can be “sold back” to the local power company, and they MUST pay you for it! How’s THAT for a PERMANENT end to the “Energy Crisis”!
4) Just a slightly annoying point: someone quoted Will Rogers as saying something during Eisenhower’s Administration. Most unfortunately, Will Rogers was killed in a plane crash in the early 1930s. Dwight Eisenhower was a relatively low level officer in the US Army when Will Rogers shuffled off this mortal coil. The quote you cited was actually from George Wallace in about 1972, as I recall.
There is actually even more to the MEG generator than I mentioned. It can also be adjusted to produce electrogravitics which will enable the production of constant acceleration space vehicles, using gravitic thrusters (already tested and proven in 1991): using such would allow round trips to the Moon, not in the 5 days of Apollo, but rather, in less than 8 hours, round trip, at only 1g constant acceleration. Do the math!

Oops! Forgot something. As far as hydrogen powered vehicles are concerned: Can you say Hindenberg? Can you say Challenger?
FORGET Hydrogen power: it’s too dangerous and will take too long and cost too much to build the infrastructure for the service stations to support the dangerous vehicles using the dangerously explosive hydrogen fuel. Another point about the hydrogen fuel: how long can you drive the vehicles between “fill ups”? The hydrogen vehicles could be dangerous, expensive, and also have very short “legs”!

I thought the silly references to Nazi-ism were off the wall, but with the recent B. Hussein Obama attacks on Jews, America is growing closer to the facism and Nazi-ism of the the 1903’s, using the terrible economic conditions in Germany (America) to alienate those with money, the Jews (US bankers, corporate CEOs), rile up the poor without jobs, German factory workers (Americans of every working class) against the money class (same in Germany and US). I am starting to think the silly references are not silly, but are in fact, the truth. The Hussein Obama administration is getting scarier to this newly established American proletariat (working class Americans like me) every day of 2009 to date.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
I always wonder why the simple solutions are never considered.
The people voted in Obama on ‘change’ without specification.
Obama created bailouts, again without specification.
Reminds me of the Pole Turtle. (A turtle sitting on a fence pole)
As you observe this phenomenon, you realize:
1. He could not get there by himself.
2. He has no clue what to do about it.
3. You wonder what fool(s) put him there.
If WE would only required of OUR government, that works for US, that spends ALL of OUR money, when spent in our behalf, be spent through American companies, we would correct the financial disaster, and not need any bailouts, or illegal ownership by the guvment of any of our private companies.
Do the math.
“The dumbing down of America has been a resounding success.”
We are not a ‘democracy’ and yet you hear that associated with our country repeatedly, and without correction by those we trust. Democracy is mob rule, like 2 wolves and a chicken deciding on what’s for dinner, or better yet: GANGRAPE.
The Democratic Party, and Democracy Now, are by definition guilty of treason. The Repubs are almost as bad with their mantra “making the world safe for democracy” crap.
The ignorance of the people has allowed this… As Ben Franklin once said, “You now have a Republic, if you can keep it.” Well Thanks to all those ignorant people that voted in Obama, it wouldn’t be so bad if your ignorance only hurt you, but you also hurt the rest of us, and this once great country which is now an ObamaNation.
Forget the electric car, the ozone, or who wins American Idol. Without getting the people back to their responsibility to know the facts, the truth and the design of this country, we are all lost. This MUST be priority number one.
The misstatements by the ignorant, like “Obama closed Gitmo”, or “their Constitutional rights” crap shows how we got where we are. Gitmo is a red herring. Get over it.
BTW, Obama cannot close Gitmo. You can’t bring them back here, it is illegal. On, I forgot, since he is not legally our president, then he can do all kinds of illegal things, as the people voted him in? ….
Pardon me while I go puke….
May 28th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
The sad thing is, Obama never hid this idea. The title of his autobiography is “The Audacity of Hope”. All you have to do is read the inside cover to finish the sentence… “The audacity of hope… in the improbable experiment in Democracy.” He has no intentions of continuing the principles of America as we have known it.

CLOSE GITMO!! Move the prisoners to Texas
May 28th, 2009 at 7:55 pm
First of all - Texas didn’t vote in Obama and we don’t want the Gitmo guys… Not unless you allow us to use Texas Justice on them. Because even if you don’t pull the trigger, but are guilty by association - You go down for murder in Texas and are up for the death penalty.
You can say all you want about the Bush-Clinton-Bush administrations… but, PLEASE!!! Not one of them has had the All In - Balls Out BS of this clueless club! Give me a break! My 8-year-old nephew gets economics better than the Obama Gang! The arrogance and ignorance of this administration’s policies continue to stun me over and over. They don’t even prioritize! They want to do it all at once and damn us all. They just want everything the way they want it w/ complete power!
Forget the Constitution! Forget the Bill of Rights! Forget it all… There’s a new sheriff in town… Hold on to your wallets and watch the rewriting of history and the continued demise of everything we hold dear.

netgrits says “More importantly I’d like to see a reasoned suggestion as to how GM might have been saved by some other path than the one taken.”
Well, next time make it a challenge– this is too easy. GM should have gone straight to bankruptcy (Gee….Isn’t that where they are going Monday ? Maybe they should have gone before they blew through tens of billions of taxpayer dollars). There is no national security interest involved. Bankruptcy is what happens to companies that are mismanaged. (I guess I should say it is what used to happen.) Your premise that it had to be “saved” is common among the sheeple these days. There is just meek acceptance of everything politicians say.
As to the poster telling us how Gitmo has been shut down and Obama is saving the world…..geeezzzzz. I know love is blind, but….

Will somebody please explain just what part of the Constitution this tyrant wanna be in the White House is operating under. The time is coming when we will change our govt. by ballot or by force. Never underestimate the will of the American people. This will not stand.
May 31st, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Steve, above, is right. Americans won’t put up with this marxist jackass. Although I am seventy-one years old, I’m ready to do what we must do, whether by ballot or arms.
June 1st, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Such a lot of nonsense from the poor old defeated neocons. You lost, guys….face it for a change.
The problems of this country were started by poor old out-of-it Ronnie, who in his haze allowed people like Rumsfeild and others like him start the ruining of the country, then came little ol; georgie-poo, with the same old gang of cut-throats and schemers to really RUIN our once great country.
Can’t you nuts get it? Rebuilding a country will take a lot of hard work and money. And maybe, instead of sitting around doing nothing, maybe you should try to help in the rebuilding. I have yet to see ANY repoop suggest any way to overcome all the bad things that the bush gang did to the country. Remember that Bush (hand guided by uncle dick) signed EVERY rotten, pork-filled (by repoops) bill that came across his desk…..the ONLY president who had ever done that. Then, when the Democrats started changing the look of Congress, he started rejecting everything.
Yes, Obama is going to cancel a lot of the nonsense the bush gang managed to get through….he better, as the bush gang RUINED our once great country, so shut up when the Democrats are TRYING to get us back on our feet again.
June 3rd, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Obama and Tyranny. Not sure how you made that connection. I tyranny was close to that last adminstration’s goals with al the lying to start a war, lying to keep it going and taking a war to to the wrong country. Location, location location.
These bailouts occurred for a number of reasons by when the Bush admin bailed out the wall street crooks who the Bush admin said let have free reign with corporate america being the answer to all of our ills like education, social security and healthcare and any thing else they could farm out to the greedy incompetent who ran this country’s economy into the ground.
But you go ahead and blame Obama or Obama’s mama of who ever you care to. It’s so Rush like. Leave the real discourse and action to the people who want solutions and not just whining.
Bush 1 went to war with faked evidence of troops massing in the middle east. These conservative clowns have taken away the rights of Ameirians and thanks to the boobs who follow them religiously and support their crimes we have the mess we are in now. There’s no one that could do to America what Bush and the conservatives have done - no foreign aggressor or even the Democrats. And they did your you blessing.
The Democrats are trying to put AMerica back together, they are doing it. The conservatives have nothing to offer but more of the same destructive policies. Get out of the way. You had your chance and look what you did to this country.
The Democrats are no innocents. They let Bush get away with it and if Obama is so wrong for America, why did so many Republicans and conservatives vote for him?
You can shout like Rush that Obama is wrong but it doesn’t make it true. It just make his critics look like a fools - loud critics with nothing better to do but blame him for their stupidity.
June 4th, 2009 at 11:42 am
Cabana,
Not surprised that you are stunned. You appear to be a Bush conservative, republican, right wing nut who thought the economy was just fine under Bush and that we need more of the same. If Bush and the fools who supported him were so right, so clever, why are we in this condition? Ask your eight year old nephew.
And steve, what part of the constitution was Bush using when he lied to America to start a war and farmed out programs to buddies who fleeced this country? A war in the wrong country???? Gimme a break. How do you cover for that fool and the conservatives who made billions off both the war and wall street. Americans were harmed by the last adminstration, killed in a war and siped out, stripped fo their life savings.
Obama has done nothing but work on solutions. You guys did nothing but create chaos.
What part of those much talked about family values, you remember that don’t you, was devoted to sending our kids off to die for no reason in the wrong country?
If Obama has a tough job, the conservatives are all about making it tougher and calling their contributions something other than what they are, just as they call Obama’s actions something other that reality. Delusions conservatives think they have the answer and ignore all the evidence that they don’t have anything but failed policy - or didn’t’ t you notice the mess we are in.

I’m quit impressed with this well-thought-out and researched blog. Having taught History for quite some time, I appreciate the references to a socialist regime such as Hitler’s or even Stalin’s. We, the people, can NOT do as the desperate people of Germany did. We are so starved for ‘change’ and for things to get ‘better’ that we gladly agree to anything that has a nice ring to it, giving up our rights in the process - much like Esau giving up his birthright for a bowl of food - and as a result, they were seduced by the charismatic Hitler. Our nation began out of the need to be shed of tyranny - taxation without representation and diabolical misuse of governmental power. Churchill said, “Those who refuse to learn from the past deserve to relive it.” I don’t want to ‘relive’ WWII nor anything remotely like it. We may be headed for yet another Civil War, and it will be Left against Right instead of North against South, and nothing to do with slavery, but everything to do with rights and freedom. Don’t forget - Absolute Power corupts absolutely.
June 4th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
There’s nothing surprising about the Left being eternal enemy of their own country and trying to hold their grip on power, whether legally or not- they don’t care. Leftist FDR was a life long ruler just sd Fidel Catro or Stalin or national socialist Hitler.
All totalitarians are the same, even soft totalitarian social democracy in Europe inevitably destroys their country- people lose incentives to work hard, they can’t afford 3-4 kids, and since the Big totalitarian Government usurps all social sphere-then children bocemo a burden rather than an investment in a future. In short- all leftist systems are dead end of civilization, they all are self-destructive and they are doomed to disappear.
America was the only G8 contry with positive demographics because it was a conservative country. Now with the Red President totalitarian socialist or social democracy system will be imposed, economy will be ruined, individual freedoms and rights will be stolen from Americans by Washington, and the country will start its European-style sliding into demographic extinction

Happy birthday, Dam Smith
Conservatives rely on the best possible tool- self relugated free market that created wealth in developed nations. (Constrained vision of the world)
Current crisis was created by the left, by too much regulation, imposing emotions based (such as “social justice, affordable housing” and the like”) laws demanding lending mortgages to the loser. That’s how the COngress (B.Frank. C. DOdd) pushed through democrats agenda over objection of Bush. yes, Obama ingerited this mess, but so di Bush as well- the world wide crisis was created by too much government interference into housing market b/o ideological and political reasons.
TOtalitarian Left led by self-appointed “enlightened ones” elite treat people as sheep and they drag them into “bright future” against their will “for their greater good” (unconstrained vision of the world). Obama can’t manage even his own finances but this “Mesiah” knows better personal affairs of 300 million Americans? BS. That’s why the Left is always doomed to destroy all the countries where it takes over. Just compare North Korea and South Korea, or East and West Germany: as more freedom=free market- as more prosperous the society is. The choice is whether realtive equality of beggars (totalitarian Left) or inequality of the rich (freedom loving centrists, conservatives).

I am not surprised to read what I am reading. But it will continue to sadden me, and anger me until I die. We did ourselves the greatest disservice when we did not take seriously the warnings of “Ike”. That is, for those of you who are too young to remember, or care to conveniently forget, President Dwight Eisenhower (R). In his unprecidented “farewell” address to the nation, he spoke of the socio-political challenges that faced the world in an era of extrememly rapid change following World War II. The FOCUS of his concern was the development of a dangerous relationhship that he saw growing between our capitalistic values, as pragmatically displayed in “industrial America” and the need to maintain a strong military with our morphed role following that great conflict. He did not question the need for a strong military, or the function of business and industry along our capitalistic lines of thought. He WARNED of this relationship being insidiously undermined by people of less than “good will” who would use this reality to further their own needs or design a system that would support their views on “things” and over time, subvert the very truths the Founding Fathers sacrificed so much to pass on to us. General Eisenhower was Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe. He led us by example, and saw the evil that men can do as he toured the Death Camps VERY soon after they were liberated.
June 11th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
(Continued)…VERY soon after they (the Death Camps) were liberated. He was a man of great discretion, a man of peace molded by the very real horrors of what the Nazi regime had accomplished, the German people of “good-will” being forever betrayed and burdened.
Given this, and with the label of “idealist” I am unafraid of wearing boldly, I say whatever your political leanings are, “Ike” wisely asked us to beware of, and reflect deeply upon this (at that time) growing DOMESTIC issue.
Now, here we are, where wars are fought without declaration, torture is endorsed by people in positions of influence and power, and our rights are taken during times of extreme vulnerability (9/11, etc) and the word “patriot” is thrown around by people who cry out that it is all done to protect us from “terrorists” , but refrain from securing our borders for obvious reasons of political loss/gain.
June 11th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
(continued–poweroutage,sorry)….To end this before another weather- related problem…I put to all that the foundational issues playing out in the current American domestic arena can be traced to a fundamental problem or set of problems that are clearly warned against by a then sitting Republican President. These issues are of a moral/value nature, as much as we dislike to admit it except when we find a reason to “pontificate” our favourite position and draw upon a moral or value-based arguiment to support it. Simply put, the times are what they are, and all men and women of “good will” know it to one degree or another. Do we have the courage enough to take individual responsibility for OUR OWN actions, or are we going to “take the 5th”, or say we were “just following orders”, or whatever other excuse that we have heard before and before and before…until the end of days”. In the end…what will we be remembered for? The answer is an individual one as each faces their mortality. Peace to all, I hope…..(end)
June 11th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Pst Script to above:
The growing relationship that “Ike” perceived as a growing threat for which he so adamantly warned us of was distilled into one phrase that he is accredited for creating: THE MILITARY_INDUSTRIAL_COMPLEX.

“The decision to qualify a President does not belong to the Courts but rather …finally to the People who decided to elect President Obama.” - Anonymous Blogger at a Lefty Site.
To which I say: As in the 9th and 10th amendment which the People, some of them anyway, are trying to do just to get a straight answer from Mr. Obama. All they seem to want is to make a better informed decision. All the ad hominems and speculation serve to do is continue to muddy the waters over what needs to be a transparent resolution. The argument seems to be that the Constitution is of primary importance, the ’sine qua non’ of all the issues facing America today. And although Berg, Taitz etal have an apparent propensity for lackluster litigation, the points raised are worthy of consideration, if for no other reason than just to be on the safe side. If their cases are proven to have no merit, we move on. If there is found to be “something rotten in Denmark” we will be better off discovering it proactively than retrospectively. That’s all.
June 12th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
It still amazes me that people would rather fight themselves than fight the growth of abusive government power.How can some of you be so blind as to think this is some kind of left vs. right argument?
I’ll be completely honest when I say that in my youth I voted for Bush, I got carried away with the rhetoric and made my decision based upon that.But now I have made myself much more informed, like our founding fathers intended us to be, and learned just where we went wrong.
All of you, young and old, need to wake up. Stop fighting each other for political gain. You are much more important than that and so is your neighbor. It is not about Republicans vs. Democrats, those things don’t even mean what they did to our fathers. We, as a people, can’t let them get one over on us.
My advice, read. Read like it’s going out of style. Read when your in the bath, read when your on the toilet. Read when the power goes out and you can’t watch “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here”. Read the books that all of our founding fathers read. Read Alexis De Toqueville. Read John Adams (who by the way sacrificed very much for this country). Read about how Republicanism started (and no I don’t me the Republican Party). Read about why the founding fathers did what they did. When you do you will find out that you have been lied to for a very long time and you’ll no longer feel hatred for your fellow man, your fellow countryman.
Don’t let the media and even blogs suck up all of your attention. It just saddens me to no end how far our country (yes both left and right) has fallen away from the principles of Republicanism.
You can think (either because your ignorant or your college professor told you to) that this country is wrong and let me tell you, you are wrong. Sure we have done some bad things but ask yourself why? Why have we done some bad things? Is it because the principles upon which this country was founded were wrong? Or was it because we have allowed those principles to be perverted?
Please learn to examine whats within and make decisions based on fact and reason, not just your gut. When you do this we will rise up and take back our country. We will take it from all those who plan to spend us into bankruptcy so they have another dilemma to solve and push us towards totalitarianism.
June 17th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
In essence I agree with much of what “Dave” said in his blog posted 17 June, 2009. “John Adams” was just one book about one of our Founding Fathers that was excellent in its depiction of the many, many sacrifices they made to build this wonderful country. His point about the misinterpretation, or even worse, intentional perversion and application of our F. Father’s principles is well taken.
Noting that what I am about to say is oversimplified, but worthy of note, is that in large part we were able to “out spend” the Soviets in research, development and fielding of sophisticated military technology. Look at the state of the Russian Navy at this time and you will see just one example of the subsequent demise I refer to.
The point is this: resources are not without end in this realm. Hence, the existence of a “military-industrial complex” that President Eisenhower (and I ) referred to in my 11 June, 2009 entry is a very real concern. It has the potential to do just what Dave said, that is, spend us into bankruptcy and push us toward a more totalitarian mindset. The time between WW I and WW II in Germany is an extreme example of this potential.
We are Americans first. Healthy discourse is a great manifestation of our 1st Amendment Rights. Thank God, and our Founding Fathers for it. But the blame game is just that.
One point to ponder that I leave you with: Would not the limitation of “lobbying groups” and their unbridled access and obvious influence on the way our capital is spent be one area that needs to be reformed? And why is it that to be elected to public office, the ticket to do so has become so highly priced that only the elite can consider it, but then only when EVEN MORE money is needed by them to campaign? This is at the heart of how politicians become indebted towards “special interest groups” rather than real constituents of “good heart and mind”. The problems are deep and complex for America. The Founding Fathers tried to expel “influence peddling” from our system, but human nature is dichotomized. We can be virtuous, and we can be far less. Which way do we go, people. It BEGINS in each of us, each of our hearts,….and minds. There is ONE America And there is ONE Earth. We better figure this out, and soon!
Read….., and reflect. (end)

We no longer have a constitution. Our illegally elected president signed it away in Europe on April 2,2009 we are now one vote of 42 as part of the new world government. pretty soon the military in this country will not be made up of Americans but rather U.N. peace keepers that wear the black armbands I wonder how many Obama lovers are going to like that. Our economy is going to fall so far into the abyss there is no chance of recovery. Then we will see the new money he began printing at noon during his inauguration. The money will be the currency of Canada , Mexico ans the U.S. It will spend well along the super highway that will run from Calgary CA to Mexico. Funny both the money and the Highway have the same name “The Amerio”

…40 miles on electric- then it’s a hybrid! Gee… Ya WONDER why GM has NEVER sold an electric car or decent hybrid? WHy it’s NEVER sold a DECENT high mpg car? Why it’s cars die 2-10 years before Hondfa and Nissan?
WE OWN GM…HELLOOoooo??? We’re BY FAR the LARGEST SHAREHOLDER! WE VOTE..or our designated representative= OBAMA- votes! GM should have been investigated YEARS ago when they were found to be LYING about their retirement funds being “termed” as cash reserves on the books! What Aurther Anderson, SANTA FE, etc all had problems with. AA went BANKRUPT over it.

Don: Yeah so much logic there…
So we got Bush!
The US wanted more pollution, LESS MPG, LESS HEALTHCARE, MORE unemployed, MORE fraud, 2 SCREWED UP wars, 2 successful attacks on US property “IN the US”, LIES about who attacked us, HUGE deficts instead of HUGE surplusses, 10,000+ dead Americans, and ALL the World economies in bankruptcy!
Altho- IF you read Bush’s 1999 speaches you’d have been able to PREDICT the pollution increases, MPG decreases, oil & gas prices and therefore the recessions!

Re: yours of May 15th. I concur. Surely the Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves. What can save America, is not up to God alone. The Founding Fathers established this country under the premises which have made it great. Conservatives have held these principles, exemplified by “The Great Communicator”, Ronald Reagan. When we again adopt these principles, and demand they be followed by our appointed leaders, then America will be saved by the actions of all of us who remain so dedicated, and through the Grace of God.
Conservatism is in itself, the definition of the principles upon which this country was founded. Until we regain those principles, socialism will insidiously take over.
We must unite like never before, to defeat those who would destroy this great nation. We have done it before and we must do it now, or lose it forever. God helps those who help themselves.
Each of us must start in our own communities, and build the strength from the ground up to the presidency: i.e., get involved!
Nobody said this would be easy!

So much of what you say is true, as to the use of power and the money that pours out of the American coffers like sugar out of a ripped bag, but your conclusions may not be right.
I say that you “may not be right”, because we don’t know anything about the grounds we now stand upon and, what exactly, any president confronted with current perils should do. Yes, the current expenditures are outrageous, and the entitlement of primary donor dubious. But it’s not that simple. And, as for the Anglo-American legal principles being turned on their head; too late to whine. Our boy Bush made a mockery out of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and Executive power.
Fortunately, we are not looking at the abuse of power right now. What we are witnessing is the excessive use of power necessary to excise people and practices that have drained America of morals and money. Your Anglo-American mavins have instead become perfected white-collar criminals. Nothing but draconian action can address level of political depravity.
What we all need to pray/hope for, is the President Obama does not become adicted to public adoration and forget his original mission. This will be the hardest thing he has to do while in office. If he succeeds, I am very confident that his exercise of Executive power will represent the degree of social ill that he must heal, the moral vacuum that he must fill. Can he do it?
I don’t know, the problem is huge and never before has it existed in such numbers. We are a sick country, and if we were an animal on some old farmer’s farm, with the same illness, the only answer would be to shoot us. I am hoping that farmer Obama has a vision for saving us that the farmer is as yet unaware.

To read the rantings and hatred of those who oppose Obama is frighting and saddening. Here is a man who is trying to make right what the Republicans did wrong and he is being insulted by the people who think that Bush got it right. They talk about the Constitution as though they have actually read it. These people are uneducated and in many cases racist. The world is in so much trouble and these people think that they have the answer to our problems.I read things on the Internet and I fear that the US is doomed to be a battleground between the stupid and those who can think and reason.The comparisons to Hitler are not anything a sane man would say and the need to start a revolution is childish.
I am 74 and I spent 19 months in Korea during the so-called “Police Action”. We fought and lost three wars since WW2 and we have learned nothing from our losses.
The only answer to our problems is education and judging from some of these posters it is something that they sorely lack.
To those who hate Obama I remember the sage advice that Jon Stewart gave to the Repubs-”You lost! So eat the S%^^
taco and STFU!!

A. Benton Edmons displays incredible ignorance in his May 14 comment that Will Rogers made a statement that “…there is not a dime’s worth of difference between Democrats and Republicans…” during the Eisenhower years. Eisenhower became President in 1953. That was 18 years after Will Rogers died in a plane crash in Alaska in 1935.

We all have to pay attention to the 2010 election–give our president some people with a brain to work with::We need congressional term limits::Dodd, Bacaus and Grassley are running the health care bill–all have been bought of by the hospital association/ pharmaceutical companies::President Obama put the cards on the table and the drug companies got rid of the donut hole in medicare!!::A mistake was that he didn’t nationalize the banks and take control of that group of crooks!! We do need an audit of the Federal Reserve(Where did Mr. Cox go). The Brandenburg group of financial forces need openly investigated–remember grandfather Bush established them in the 1940″s!! Everyone should read a book title “Shock Doctrine”"–get a good understanding of the mess our country is in.The President inherited the mess of the 20th century–I don’t know why people are such fans of Regan–he ran the national debt to the max–Clinton got it to a surplus–then came GW. Congress let him hide the war cost–remember GW told us to go shopping—so idiot Americans took out the credit cards and did that!! Don’t blame President Obama–support him–find good suggestions to help him with his decisions::Pay attention to the vote in 2010–clean up the state level toooo!!

BARACK H. OBAMA IS NOT A NATURAL BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN. HE WAS BORM IN MOMBAASA HOSPITAL IN KENYA, AFRICA. HE IS AN INTERLOPER A MULATTO NOT AN AFRICAN AMERICAN. HE IS A FRAUD AND IS A COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST WHOSE MAIN MOTIVE IS TO DESTROY THIS COUNTRY AND ALL WHICH HAS MADE IT GREAT. HE HATES ALL WHITE PEOPLE, AND LIKE HIS FORMER PASTOR JEREMIAH WRIGHT IS A BLACK RACIST.IF HE IS NOT STOPPED AND THE COMMUNIST CONGRESS IS NOT SENT PACKING THIS COUNTRY IS DOOMED TO BECOME A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, JUST LIKE THE GARBAGE DUMP THIS INTERLOPER WAS BORN IN.

One of the overlooked things about the bullied takeover of General Motors is what impact it will have on Ford in particular. As this country begins to dig itself out of the economic hole we are in nowand there is a need for large, medium and small trucks to rebuild infrastucture etc., whose trucks do you think will win the “open bid” for government contracts? Anyone think it won’t be GM? This is about voting leverage and political control. Along with the changes coming in the income tax system to intimidate those who think differently from this administration and many of the Democrats in Congress and their powerful supporters receiving favoritism. Anyone remember Mark Rich, TimGeutner and Tom Dashle? Tax policy is always about political control and behavior modification. Our most recent example is Cap and Trade. The rest of the world has found this to be ineffective at best and very costly to live by. But, like good Socialists, the Obama Administration is pressing ahead wrecking our economy in an attempt to make you and I dependent on continuos promises of bailouts and “free money”. The only “free money” I have ever seen is Monopoly Money which is what our currency will be worth if this continues.

I am a senior citizen, worked hard all my life, paid more than my share of taxes, taught my children to have a good work
ethic and integrity; I resent the fact that now in retirement, I
am supposed to pay for health care for those who have never
worked; I am supposed to be happy that people who have never paid into social security will now be awarded that..that is like stealing from my savings. Obama was a Senator before he became President; the legislators, repubican and democrat, voted for all the crap that sent the U.S. on a spiral downward.
Who was in charge all along? The Legislature. The political folk. You can’t find anything made in the U.S.A. today unless you go to an estate sale..
The citizens
didn’t get to vote on the social security give-away; we didn’t get to vote on the outlandish “stimulus.” Most legislators voted for everything that went on without accountability; now they
are up in arms supposedly outraged and trying to fix it…it’s too late! We need to boot them all out and start over! Obama had his hand out too as Senator…he was one that received a ton of money fromFannie Mae..he was “family” according to their
CEO..because he insisted they give loans to folks who couldn’t afford to pay…please don’t tell me he is clean. He isn’t. I’m sure he is doing his best but how was he raised? He has been pals with enemies of the U.S. right along.
July 7th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
To paraphrase the late Dear Abby-to be a doormat, first you have to lie down. It appears that “everyone” is so afraid of appearing to be against this administration that they cower and give in rather than standing their ground. First it was the shouts of “racism” then the threats that they would be revealed as non-conformists. Now we are hearing more and more reluctance to publicly declared opposition to anything this adminsitration cares to present. If we are so afraid to express opinion using free speech rights, then how close are we to losing those rights completely? Evil occurs when good men, and women, do nothing. The time for standing around watching is over. We must take back Congress and it needs to be based on ISSUES. We must demand that the press begin vetting candidates based on ISSUES. The reason we are in the position is directly due to the overreaching of a socialist regime that is pushing fast to get the entire agenda passed because they know there will be a price to pay at the midterms. Write your reps frequently. Call them. Make sure they know we are not happy. Even The One is losing polling steam, so it should be obvious that all is not peaches and cream in Washington or back with the voters.

Dear President Obama, I am a Zimbabwean in the diaspora. Kindly stop the selling of blood diamonds from Zimbabwe to the Kimberley Processing Group. Thanks for all the help
July 11th, 2009 at 11:48 am
Thank the Wonderful Jewish-controlled media for the continued worship and fanfare of this elected “God”. After the absolute nincompoop Bush, it is believable that this scenario is before us. However, it will only be a matter of time when the stupid sheeple stop BAHHHING, and finally wake up to the menace. It will probably be too late to steer the country on the right course.

[QUOTE FROM AKJS...]
are you guys seriously comparing President Obama to Adolf Hitler??? Obama shut down Guantanamo Bay, which under Bush ruthlessly terrorized innocent citizens and took away their constitutional rights, made plans to pull troops out of Iraq, a war which is costing us billions of dollars and sinking America further and further into debt, and he’s already taken action to try to get the economy back into shape. Adolf Hitler caused the genocide of over 6 million Jews.
Solid comparison.

I CANNOT let this get away without responding………
1.) “Obama shut down Guantanamo Bay, which under Bush ruthlessly terrorized innocent citizens and took away their constitutional rights”…………………………………blah…

2.) “made plans to pull troops out of Iraq, a war which is costing us billions of dollars and sinking America further and further into debt”……….blah…
LOLOLOL……….yeah, and hes lining them up from the borders of Poland to China…….more troops than Bush had in Iraq…..and NOW….hes going into Afghanistan (which I agree with) to ‘take care’ of what Bush ‘apparently didnt’ (in yours and your ideology bunch)….were in Kandahar now and running through there like a bulldozer over ants……which the same news that deplored Bush isnt telling the rest of the country about……..

The states are reaching higher and higher unemployment WORSE than Jimmy Carters days…….and alot of others are following the others into the abyss…….
“Taken action to get the economy back in shape”…….LOLOLOLOLOLOL………..the coffee spewing from my nose is almost choking me!!…….
You OUGHT to be a freaking comedian……..
4.) “Adolf Hitler caused the genocide of over 6 million Jews.”…..

Let me tell you something now, lemming……….just wait until the “IN” thing is going to be ALL White Men are racists…..and that ‘racism’ has to be eradicated from this country…..to be purged of this practice that ONLY White Men have been involved in…..2 centuries ago…….
You are going to see another attempt at genocide………….from them to us (White Men)……..which will never be achieved because brains rule out bullies…..
Hell, the White Women are already ‘buying’ into the evil White Man shit……theyre cheerleaders of the ‘victim-mentality’ thats going on around you…….because they consider themselves a ‘victim’…..and they feel they have more in common with black men versus White Men……..because afterall, in their indoctrinated and molded minds…….Brothers of my like were born with a freaking golden spoon upour ass…….

July 20th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
The only way “We the People” can effectively stop the insanity of this government is to stop the life blood that keeps it going. That is, the cash they are stealing from us. Government cannot and will not heal itself. The one force, which still holds the power in this country that can do it, is “We the People”. But, that power is being taken away daily and it won’t be long before we no longer have the power of “We the People”.
I believe the time has past for talk and symbolic protests like the Tea Parties. Although they are a start, we need to mobilize a real effort to stem the tide of socialism that is being thrust upon us. The socialized liberals are not talking and making symbolic gestures, they are stealing our freedoms and making laws at an alarming rate. If we truly believe in the Constitution and in the fight our forefathers fought to give this country it’s Freedom and Liberty than we must not be complacent, or any less aggressive at preserving those rights then they were. If we don’t act with the same determination our forefathers did, than we disgrace them and make null all they fought and died for. We cannot and must not let that happen! We will be held accountable by future generations. What will we say when our grand kids and great grand kids ask the question! Why did you let this happen? You saw what was happening and did nothing to stop it.
The Boston Tea Party was not a symbolic activity! It was a revolution where by the American people said we would rather throw our goods into the harbor, and not sell them, rather than sell them and have to pay taxes to an oppressive government, thus cutting off the life blood. Even though it meant they would sacrifice income to support themselves. That is the kind of belief, bravery and tenacity it took to stop the tyranny then, and it will take no less effort and fortitude to stop it today.
I believe we need to cut off the governments source of power by withholding taxes, and there is a way it can be done without the government being able to stop it. Like our forefathers knew, the government cannot force us to open our business. They cannot put us in jail for not selling our products in effect throwing them into the harbor.
It has been said over and over that small businesses in this country are its backbone. If that’s true, it’s time to get America’s backbone back. We have been treated like the assholes long enough. We don’t even need a majority to accomplish this task. Can you imagine if we could rally 100,000 small businesses in this country to close their doors every Monday? How about 500,000? No sales tax, no income tax, no payroll tax, no VAT and on and on. If Monday doesn’t get their attention then Monday and Tuesday? And so on. Even 50,000 would make a huge impact. This would be the kind of movement our forefathers would have made. This is the kind of belief and fortitude that our forefathers and the future generations would be proud of. This is the kind of tenacity that made America Great!
I have been trying to get people to understand the power we have as Americans when work together as a team. T.E.A.M.
meaning T.ogether E.veryone A.chieves M.ore!
We need a T.E.A.M America!!!!!!!
We must regain our position as the backbone of this once great nation or forever be it’s asshole.
I remember this great story about who needs to be the boss:
When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be the boss.
The brain said, “since I control everything and do all the thinking, I should be the boss.”
The feet said, “since I carry man where he wants to go and get him in position to do what the brain wants, then I should be the boss.”
The hands said, “since I must do all the work and earn all the money to keep the rest of you going, I should be the boss.”
And so it went with the eyes, the heart, the lungs, and all the other parts of the body, each giving the reason why they should be the boss.
Finally, the asshole spoke up and said it was going to be the boss.
All the other parts laughed and laughed at the idea of the asshole being the boss. The asshole got so angry that he blocked himself off and refused to function.
Soon the brain was feverish and could barely think, the feet felt like lead weights and was almost too weak to drag the body anywhere, the eyes grew bleary, and the hands hung useless at the sides. All pleaded with the brain to let the asshole be declared the boss.
As the great philosopher Hillel wrote: If not now when, if not us who?
I am but one small person who is trying to inspire us to greatness for the good of our Nation.
If we believe in the Constitution, Freedom, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness, which is, what our forefathers fought and died for, then we owe it to them, and to the future generations, to stand up boldly, and say enough is enough. Every day we stand in complacency, every day we try to send a symbolic message, every day we try to fight this battle on their turf we lose. We lose credibility and freedoms. Government will never heal itself; only We the People can stop this insanity.
I pray there are still enough Americans left (on the right) that are willing to fight on the side of Freedom, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness in the country, and save it from this tyranny. Please! Help me get the word out for real Americans to once again be part of the great T.E.A.M. America!

I have been posting many of the words our forefathers have written about the
Constitution and government. Ironically, and to my surprise, Mr. Obama said in his 4th of July address that America needs to summon the “SPIRIT” that built a cluster of 13 colonies into the United States of America.
Well, on this one point I must say that I am 100% in agreement with him.
But, as with what now has become his modus operandi, he has said one thing, which he thinks will evoke some patriotic response, and is doing something totally the opposite. Another quote I recall from his campaign speeches was “JUST WORDS?”
No Sir, they are not “JUST WORDS”! So lets take a look at the “SPIRIT” of these words and see where it lead us.
WE THE PEOPLE
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
We must never forget the intent of those who built this country which gave us the very freedoms that some will now use to destroy her. — Roger Kress
Spirit of the Constitution
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.” –John Quincy Adams
The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself. –Benjamin Franklin
The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits. – Thomas Jefferson
“On every question of construction of the Constitution, let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.” — Thomas Jefferson
The care of every man’s soul belongs to himself. But what if he neglect the care of it? Well what if he neglect the care of his health or his estate, which would more nearly relate to the state. Will the magistrate make a law that he not be poor or sick? Laws provide against injury from others; but not from ourselves. God himself will not save men against their wills.
–Thomas Jefferson
Constitution and Government
The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government – lest it come to dominate our lives and interests. – Patrick Henry
A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.
– Thomas Jefferson
To maintain the ascendancy of the Constitution over the lawmaking majority is the great and essential point on which the success of the [American] system must depend; unless that ascendancy can be preserved, the necessary consequence must be that the laws will supersede the Constitution; and, finally, the will of the Executive, by influence of its patronage, will supersede the laws …
– John C. Calhoun
Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.
– James Madison
Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters. – Daniel Webster
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. – Thomas Jefferson
I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive. – Thomas Jefferson
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.”– Alexander Tyler
An elective despotism (absolute power or control) was not the government we fought for. – Thomas Jefferson
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation then by deflation, the banks and the corporations will grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” — Thomas Jefferson
The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases. – Thomas Jefferson
Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry. – Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. – Thomas Jefferson
The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but a swindling futurity on a large scale. – Thomas Jefferson
“No generation has a right to contract debts greater than can be paid off during the course of its own existence.” — George Washington
If we were directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we would soon want for bread.
– Thomas Jefferson
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. -Abraham Lincoln
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.” — Thomas Jefferson
Duties of the Patriot
If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so. – Thomas Jefferson
It is the duty of the patriot to protect his country from its government. – Thomas Paine
God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.
– Daniel Webster
Those who expect to reap the benefits of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.
– Thomas Paine
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. – John Adams
Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils.
–General John Stark
“The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing”
– Edmund Burke
Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in. –Andrew Jackson
“The ultimate authority…resides in the people alone.”
“It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. We revere this lesson too much …to forget it.” — James Madison
“God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion.
The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is
wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts
they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions,
it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. …
And what country can preserve its liberties, if it’s rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
It is its natural manure.”– Thomas Jefferson
“The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards.” — Samuel Adams
To Those Who Still Don’t See
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. – Samuel Adams
Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty. – Thomas Jefferson
They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety. –Benjamin Franklin
If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny. –Thomas Jefferson
“…There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our overthrow. … Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing.”
–Daniel Webster
Well I’ll just be!!!!!
It seems that the “SPIRIT” of the founding fathers more supports a Mission Statement for T.E.A.M. America that it does the actions of our government.
You see it is more than “JUST WORDS” Sir.
So, lets take this just a little further and see if we can do just that!!!!
Our Mission
“One man with courage is a majority”. –Thomas Jefferson
The time is now, and it’s up to us! It’s up to You!
My fellow Patriots, Our forefathers have clearly defined what government is, what government should never be and what our role is in defending Liberty & Freedom. Their brave words have shown that it is our “Patriotic Duty” to oppose government when it even hints at laws that begin to tread upon our Freedoms lest it becomes too powerful and too tyrannical.
I believe these are more than “JUST WORDS”.
This is the “SPIRIT” and these are the “BELIEFS” that built this country.
This is the “SPIRIT” and these are the “BELIEFS” our forefathers died defending.
This is the “SPIRIT” and these are the “BELIEFS” that made this country great.
This is the “SPIRIT” and these are the “BELIEFS” that are no longer negotiable.
This is the “SPIRIT” and these are the “BELIEFS” that now fall upon us to defend.
It is up to us to heed these words and be ready and willing to act.
“The ultimate authority…resides in the people alone.”– James Madison
What will history’s memory say about us? Will we continued to follow the downward spiral of “complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.” Or will we summon the courage, bravery and belief of our forefathers and continue defending the self-evident truths of Freedom and Liberty. The time to act is now, not with symbolic protests but with the same tenacity, fortitude, courage and bravery of our forefathers. A true call to action:
Our Constitutional Spirit
(mission)
We find these truths to be non-negotiable, and we will defend the true Spirit of Freedom & Liberty with a force equal to that, which is forced upon us by any “form of distorted, bastardized illegitimate government” which would try to “separate the text from historical background”, “pervert and subvert the Constitution”. “Create debts greater than can be paid off during the course of its own existence”. “Take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not”. Create “laws legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry”. Allow “private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation then by deflation”. “Waste the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them”. “Promises to govern well, but means to govern. Promises to be good masters, but means to be masters”. “Use the Constitution as an instrument for the government to restrain the people, rather than an instrument for the people to restrain the government”. “Take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned”.
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other”. “The Constitution only guarantees the American people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself”. “The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits”. “On every question of construction of the Constitution, let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed”. “An elective despotism (absolute power or control) is no longer a government we will support”.
As you can see this was not written by my hand but instead gleaned from the very words our forefathers wrote. Not “JUST WORDS” but the very
“SPIRIT” by which they constructed our Constitution.

WE AMERICANS HAVE MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE. WHEN WE ELECTED AN INELIGABLE AS OUR PRESIDENT. WHY DO WE FIND IT HARD TO IMPEACH HIM? THE JAANESE AMBASSADORS WERE AT THE PEACE TABLE IN WASHINGTON WHEN THIER NAVY BOMBED PEARL HARBOR. WE HAD NO PROBLEM GGING TO WAR OVER THAT, WHY NOT THROW OBAMA OUT. IT WOULD NOT COST ONE AMERICAN LIFE. IS THS HOW WE HONOR OUR DEAD WHO GAVE US THE FREEDOM TO DO SO? WAKE UP AMERICA,, THE MUSLEMS WANT YOUR HEAD.

Instead of professing our hatred and our fears (disguised by outrage) why can’t we do some things like help out in our communities? I know that I live in a great place that could only be made better if everyone who was so outraged could only channel this outrage into actions that truly helped others. Or are the “injustices” of our society so great that we can’t do that anymore either? I’m pretty sure that all of you are free to help other people, yet all that comes out of your keyboards is the fear that you are already somehow absolutely subjugated by policies shifts that you don’t agree with.
We live in the freest society that has ever existed in the history of the earth. Rules and laws manage this society. They are necessary, as they govern the freedoms we hold. Governments need to be held accountable and citizens need to perform their civic duties, but fear is what allows oppressors to oppress, hegemonizers to hegemonize, dictators to dictate, war mongers to war monger, enslavers to enslave, etc.
Come to terms with your fears. Learn to understand. Believe in the power of education to change generations and society itself. Accept that there are flaws in our society, but that there are also wonderful freedoms and opportunities that you reject when you base your motivation for action out of fear.
All of you that are so outraged should take the time to invest yourselves in your communities more. I’m sure that some of you already do, but I can guarantee all of you that there will never be such a thing as a surplus of understanding, helping, caring, love, will to do good, desire to improve…

One giant step–down the big, slippery slope. Do we citizens have the courage to stop this madness? I don’t think we do, because we’re no longer citizens, first, in a “nation of laws.” We’re part of this group or that party and we’ve retreated to the position that life in the US is a zero-sum game. Old-news flash: our Constitution provided a system in which everyone (who worked) could win. Yes, the past tense is intentional. In this new (or any) “nation of men,” it is easier, by definition, to steal others’ wealth than to work to create new wealth. Obama stole bondholders’ wealth and gave it to his contributors. This is not a warning shot across the bow of our country, it is a below-the-waterline, direct hit.

If you read his books, Obama told us that his best friends in college were Marxists, socialists, and black power leaders. People like this do not want us to succeed, they hate America and its success, and want to turn us into an Orwellian society. and the best way to accomplish this is to destroy us financially.
Leftists are so blinded by their ideology that nothing else matters,
Our Dear Leader is a Marxist, racist, an outright liar and an anti-semitic . Those American Jews who voted for him ought to be ashamed of what they have done. Anyone who reads his Cairo speech knows this man is an anti-semitic Muslim, who filled his is speech there with lies and historical inaccuracies about the role of Islam in civilization. And got away with it.
All that missing information about Barry from his kindergarten records through all his college and post graduate and law school experiences? Probably missing because it would clarify his dislike of America, his racism, and an agenda that would leave all but the most hard core leftists stunned. Has any one missed how he cozies up to communist dictators who deprive people of freedom and liberty?
Our country is in chaos, we are headed toward totalitarianism, and he has been in office only six months. In the meantime, it is a race to get to the 2010 elections before Barry/Obama has a chance to manipulate the census count to help the left and deprive us of free elections. In addition, the rush to legalize illegals is all about creating a one party system in this country. They will bring their children, parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, and guess which party these people will vote for?

Hey — Repugnicans — sour grapes, huh? You might as well get used to it: Obama is here to stay for the next 8 years, and the majority of the American people are very glad about it.

Hail Eris!
Left to its own devices, the “free market” (no such thing in the US for a long time — well over a century…It leans heavily towards “corporatism”, at least prior to Obama) would continue with the two-tiered system of medicine you have now, regardless of the millions who would be forced to scrape by on substandard (or no) care, while the rich would make damn sure they get the very best money can buy. Not much profit to be made off poor people, you know, so best to let them die off by the millions, every so often. They do provide the workforce, but when there’s an excess, so many of them become troublemakers. That cuts into profits, after awhile.
If you feel that I am unsympathetic to the plight of the super-rich, as they’re oppressed by the potential loss of money, you would not be wrong.

akjsdlkfj–
Hitler started out by establishing a social security program, and telling the German people he would make things better for them. The genocide started after he’d won their trust. Obama may have good intentions, but his actions to date ought to concern all Americans. Without property rights and without the right to defend yourself (both of which are currently under fire) it doesn’t matter what other rights you have.

O.K. We have an absolutely un-qualified A-hole run this country into THE GROUND for eight years and we aren’t supposed to be happy when someone with a brain for Politics gets into office??!!? Cult my butt, As bitter as most DEMs were after the 2000 election was handed to BuuuSSHH by a FAMILY FRIEND (BAKER-it would never had reached the Supreme Court if the Florida votes had not been supressed) they did at least get behind him when crisis arose, it seems that you irrational losers out there are blaming Obama for a crisis that he had nothing to do with, and your in such obvious denial that you ALL sound like the most imaginative of the conspiracy theorists out in the shadows of the net and beyond. Don’t any of you think it is HIGHLY un-likely that any sort of movement that wanted to enact such huge changes to our nation would pin its hopes on such an un-likely candidate as Barrack Obama? Really? Hate is the most powerful of emotions, and it’s just so easy for me to see that it is the sole motivator for all of your B.S. You are all the equivalent of that stupid lady that got up at a McCain rally and called Obama an “ARAB” and even McCain had to pull the attention away from her. I believe that Mankind is about half stupid and that for the past 30 years, the G.O.P. has exploited this fact to their benefit. After all, it doesn’t matter that morons elect you, as long as your elected. Mr. Reagan should burn in hell for showing all of you that show is all it takes, because show is all we get from the G.O.P. anymore, THE G.O.P. IS A CULT!!!

!00% right on with this.
I’m from Toronto Canada and we in this union run ,bleeding heart ,marxist city are where you Americans are headed.
The reality for you leftists is the doers and achievers are leaving this city.
I have 3 friends already gone; we are leaving and so another aquaintance of ours.
All hard working 6 figure earners and some moving just far enough to get out of our socialist major’s tax reach.
So the tax base is shrinking and will continue to.
What you marixts don’t get is you can only redistribute income for so long until the workers decide they’ve had enough.
I don’t understand wanting more government in your life.
Anyway you are certainly getting your change and my only concern is you stupid Americans who voted for the Messiah are going to take us and the rest of the world down with you.
You are without a doubt the most ignorant folks I listen to.
I am ready to kick your asses.

I believe what our founding fathers said holds true. Our Pledge of Alegiance agrees - “one nation under God.” I’m not so certain that this holds true today. Secularism has taken hold and the associated ills have come along with it. Our representatives in Washington have failed us with corruption and selfish decisions, thus an economic recession for many and a depression for those who have lost everthing. The social ills of abortion, broken homes and the such have become the norm along with the lack of common sense. Our nation’s problems are deep and will not turn around until we amend our ways and return to our “in God We Trust.”

The Rebulican Governor Victories in NJ and VA this week I beleve is an indicator of what is to come in the 2010 Congress Races. I believe that the 2010 Congress will be a “Republican” Congress and Obama, Pelosi, Reid, with the rest of the Democrats know it.
Therefore, Obama & Pelosi know they have only until the new Republican Congress takes over to get their Bills passed. If they can not get their communist bills passed before then to Ultimately destroy America, then they will never get them passed.
Obama knows his time is short!!

Thank God for the rght to free speech. It is what fuels a true democracy.
Looking at the content of many of these messages, it is obvious a blog site where many right-wing opinions are voiced.
I would say this: Mulatto is not a term friendly to mixed-race individuals. I woulld add that racism ias no longer an option in this country. Geroge W. Bush AND Barack Obama were elected under the SAME system. So however we like or dislike the currenty President, he deserves the respect and CHANCE that ALL presidents have had, Democratic or Republican.
The taste of sour grapes reeks in these blogs. Comparing Obama to Hitler is despicable. Any American publicly making that comparison should examine their facts and at the very least hold that opinion until Death Camps appear.
Secret sites of torture-based interrogation was not the idea of our current president, but the last, George W. Bush. Now as a retired Lt. Commander (21 years of active duty — (Cold War, Vietnam Era and 1st Gulf War vet), I will say this: when we allow this to go on, it is not too far a jump that a govt. can disenfranchise a whole group of people (e.g. Jewish) and eventually demonize and dehumanize them. This led to the Death Camps of Hitler.
A little more education, and a little less emotion is needed among many of the above blogs. Not all, but some. So if I have insulted you, I will say this as well: if the shoe fits, so sorry. If it does not, you have no reason to own it.
Sorry right-wingers, the AMERICAN PEOPLE voted in the current president. Now those who have to accept this, remember there were many who had to accept George W. Bush. I suggest you pull up your panties, quit the spurious comparisons and racial slurs, go home and vote differently next time.

Sarah Palin as Commander-in-Chief? Someone who quits her ELECTED office because she does “not want to become a lame duck”….as Govenor of Alaska? If this was a Democrat, she would be torn to pieces. NO WAY this person is qualified to be president. Anyone who will enter an inteview (ABC–Charles Gibson) unable to define what Bush’s policy on fighting terrorism was shows her ability to prioritize is SORELY lacking. These attributes are not something that come overnight. They are grown over years of EXPERIENCE. John McCain was clearly courting the female vote and boy, did he blow it! I spent 21 years in the service. Our boys in the field deserve someone who can appreciate what war is, preferably a veteran if not a combat veteran. But at least someone who can answer basic policy questions when they are putting themselves across as VP candidates. Hellooooo—-VP’s can become Presidents. Truman and Johnson come to mind. Ford is another. And I beleive she is not interested in a 2012 run for Pres. (or VP) like I believe Martha Stewart is a Neuro-Surgeon or Oprah Winfrey is dirt-poor. If Palin runs (as Republican of course), I will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we have totally lost it and the Reublican Party will confirm that it is truly a representative of the rich and image obsessed. Reducing govt., or not having big govbt. does not mean electing parrots and iot does NOT mean allowing those with money to grab more and more and more while the common man loses hope because the “trickle down economics” it produces means from the money changers hands to the money changers pockets. If we are a Christian nation as all the right wing extremists say we are, they will remember scripture where it says, definitively, we ARE OUR BROTHERS KEEPERS”. That means a helping hand is NOT a dirty phrase, it not socialistic crap or communist rhetoric. When are we going to get it….How many Madoffs do we have to suffer. How many CEO’s have to make millions in bonuses while hard working people are not able to afford health care? And illegal aliens…… Why do we talk Patriot Act, Homeland Security and the such when the previous 8 years di NADA? Cheap labour for the companies… that is why. The hypocrisy is enough to make me puke. I hope some out there just watched WW II in HD on the Hisory Channel…..The Greatest Generation….How proud I am to have been born a son of a family that is rife with sacrifices made in that War. It is about time Americans pulled their heads out of the media narcotics like football and start puitting their attention where it belongs–on the state of American Affairs. It is easy to critisize President Obama. But at least he has puit himself in the fray in a BIG WAY. People like Palin…she may be a fine person on a private level. But she looks and acts like an over the hill cheerleader in the public eye. Lets see if she is honest and does not “go for the office”. God help our sosn and daughters in harms way then. They played “The World Turned Upside Down” when the British (General Cornwallis) surrendered to General (to be our 1st President) Washington at the Batle of Yorktown, essentially ending the Revolutionary War in our favour. If saomeone as poorly qualified as Sarah Palin is able to dupe the American people to the point that shea is even close to a viable candidacy, that song needs to be played EVERYWHERE.

This Blog gives the reasons why Mr. B. Obama, as well Nancy Pelosi, Harry Ried, along with the 214 Democrats & 1 Republican who approved in the House of Representatives the Treason Bill called the Health Care Bill.
1. Obama needs to go to Jail for taking the oath of office of U.S. President on Jan 20, 2009 knowing he is UNQUALIFIED FOR THAT POSITION UNDER THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.
2. NANCY PELOSI for qualifying Mr. Obama WITHOUT SEEING HIS “”LONG FORM” BIRTH CERTIFICATE (TREASON & NEGLECT FOR THE OFFICE OF WHICH SHE HOLD UNDER THE U.S. CONSTITUTION) “ALSO” for making 2 different letters of QUALIFICATION for Mr. Obama.
AND for making that BILL OF TREASON KNOWN AS THE HEALTH CARE BILL which has very little to do with Health Care and everything to do with the OVER THROW OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT AS A FREE NATION UNDER GOD. THAT IS TO CHANGE (AND TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOMS THAT WE HAVE COME TO KNOW & ENJOY). TO CHANGE THIS NATION INTO A COMMUNIST STATE - WHICH AGAIN IS AN OVER THROW OF THE PRESENT NATION AS MENTIONED ABOVE. THAT IS “TREASON”. The FOUNDING FATHERS would of had all the mentioned people noted above jail for Treason.
3. ALL THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES THAT VOTED FOR THE PELOSI “”HEALTH CARE BILL”" HAVE ALREADY COMMITTED ACT OF TREASON AGAINST THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND AGAINST ALL FREE NATIONS WHO TRADE WITH THE U.S.
