TAKE AMERICA BACK FROM THE THUGS IN WASHINGTON DC

A Direct Report TO Congress
Uncle Sam's Tavern ^ 8/7/09 April Clark

Posted on Monday, August 10, 2009 10:42:00 PM by Anejo

There are some things you folks in Washington need to know about the "mobs" that are "storming" your town hall meetings. I proudly count myself among their number, and would like to take this opportunity to explain a few things. I hope you're listening.

Listening. So much would be different if you were better at that particular skill. For years we have written to you, respectfully voicing our concerns and opinions. In response, we get form letters, telling us what you, in your infinite wisdom, plan to do - regardless of our desires or opinions. I have gotten form letters from my representative that pertained to an entirely different subject than the one about which I had written. Clerical error? Sure, but also entirely indicative of just how much you care about satisfying those who hired you and pay your salaries. I have written, I have called, and I know dozens of others who have done the same. On cap and trade, I heard that the calls were 200 to 1 against the legislation - you passed it anyway. Do you know how that makes us feel? Do you have any idea what a slam that is?

You see, we, the people, still believe in the Constitution. We believe that this country is supposed to be all about us, not a few hundred disconnected, power hungry, pompous and self-righteous elected officials in Washington who long ago forgot what it's like to be a real American. We, the people, do not approve of your scorn and contempt for our opinions. We, the people, have spoken out every way we can, often and loudly, and you have brushed us aside. We, the people, will not be silenced.

For years you ignored our phone calls and letters, so we began gathering around the country to express our grievances. Our signs told the story clearly, but you, and your shills in the media, chose not to read them. You laughed at us and dismissed us as "tea baggers." All very amusing. We, the people, are not amused. Had you read the signs and given us five minutes of real consideration, you might have understood and stopped it all then. Instead you slapped us with your rhetoric.

Here is one more chance for you to get the message. This is not about taxes, at least not currently assessed taxes. This is about liberty. This is about your belief that you know better than we how to manage our lives. You do not. This is about a federal government that has spent more than two centuries making laws - layers upon layers upon layers of laws - and almost never repealing any law. This is about a federal government that has vastly overstepped its bounds as explicitly stated in the Constitution of this great nation. This is about the few seeking to control, manage and mandate the many.

We are Americans. Do you remember what that means? Do you even have a clue? Let me explain.

An American is free. Free to pursue his chosen course in life, free to succeed beyond his wildest dreams, and, importantly, free to fail.

An American is strong. Strong enough to work hard for what he wants out of life, and to fight and die, if necessary, to retain that right.

An American is proud. Proud of the accomplishments of his nation through the decades, and the millions of people in other lands who are free because of the efforts of this nation. Proud of our personal productivity and ingenuity, proud of our children and determined to leave them a country that affords them the same chances we ourselves were given.

An American is loyal. There is nothing we will not do for those we count among our own, and nothing we will not do to defend against those who would harm our people or our nation.

An American is self-sufficient. We do not wish to be taken care of by our government - we ask only for government to get out of our way and let us do what comes naturally: produce.

We are the most productive people in history. We have done more to improve the lives of people in every other nation than any people in history. Our innovations, our ingenuity, our generosity to those in need, are all unsurpassed in recorded time. We, the people, are the shining city on a hill. Our spirit is what has made this nation the envy of the world, the destination of the most immigrants, the engine that keeps the global economy humming along. All we ask is that we be allowed to keep some of what we produce. That is our incentive, and that is what you would take from us with your grand schemes of a utopian society where everyone is equal and poverty is no more.

Your intervention has done nothing to better our nation. Your entitlement programs are a curse to their recipients - when a person is handed a means of existence without having to expend any effort, he is stripped of any incentive to better himself. Hunger is a wonderful motivator.

We, the people, know how to live on a budget. Of course we want more than we have - that is the beauty of our system. If we want something badly enough, we will work, save and scrimp to obtain it. We can no longer tolerate your unwillingness to conduct yourselves likewise. You are running up ever larger debts, printing money, borrowing from questionable nations like China, mortgaging our futures and our children's futures for generations to come - all to enact legislation that goes against everything we, the people, stand for and believe in. Just think about that for a minute. Imagine someone telling you that they were taking out a loan in your name, a loan so large that there is no possible way you, personally, will ever be able to repay it, and the obligation will fall to your children when they are grown. You cannot refuse this debt, and you have no say in how the money will be spent. If you refuse to pay, you will go to jail. Is that liberty? Is that justice? Is that, in any way, logical, fair or reasonable? We believe it is not.

We have been in that exact situation since the day we were born. Each and every one of us has inherited debts owed by our ancestors, and those debts continue to grow, never to shrink, no matter how much we are taxed. The programs grow ever more numerous, the handouts ever more generous, the disregard for the impact of all of these programs on the productive ever more blatant. We have had enough.

We want only to live our lives unimpeded. We do not enjoy painting signs and taking time away from our jobs and our families to go to protests. We do not relish the thought of shouting down our elected representatives in government at town hall meetings. We are not right-wing extremists, potential terrorists, thugs or swastika carrying mobs. We are the American people, and we want our country back.

Each time you ignore us, we will have no choice but to escalate our attempts to communicate. The letters and phone calls led to tea parties. The tea parties led to noisy confrontations at town hall meetings. Those confrontations, rather than making you listen, are apparently being met by a mustering of troops to confront us and shout us down, by union thugs and ACORN members being called out to suppress our voices. Their presence is already resulting in minor violence at these formerly peaceful gatherings. What is your goal? Do you seek riots in the streets?

Hear me now: NO MORE!

You and your thugs will never silence the American people. We will continue to speak out, with our voices and our votes, until we purge our government of those who violate our Constitution. We seek only to return our country to its former greatness. We do not wish violence, but, rather than silence us, it will only make us more determined to prevail. You are gravely mistaken if you think that this is manufactured anger, or some kind of passing trend. We are not shills for any political party or special interest - that is your world, not ours. We have watched in silence for far too long as you have perverted everything that is great about this country. We will not be silent again. Hear us now or hear us later - but with each passing day the anger at your audacity grows. With each passing day our numbers grow and our conviction solidifies. Ignore us at your peril.


Sorry to inform you idiots that keep hollering racism. It is not racism at all.
I am sure Obama is a good family man. He is just "not" Presidential Material.
He has chosen all these scum bags from Chicago to be in his cabinet and all these other idiots from environmental groups, Unions, AARP, and it goes on and on and on that he feels he owes a debt of gratitude to for helping to get him elected. That is no way to run a country.
All these groups of people have their own agenda's and it sure as hell aint for the good of the country and the American people that reside in this country.
He has no clue on how to run a country and has turned it all over to all of these fools and the fools in congress and the senate and they have had agendas for years. I mean look at ALL THE PORK they put in the stimulus bill. That was not stimulus. It was all their little pet projects they have wanted for years.
All the pork needs to stop. These people in congress need to run on their own merits of helping all Americans and America as a whole to become a better country...Not promises of what kind of pork projects we as Americans pay for with our tax dollars for things that don't even concern us. We don't live in those communities. If they need things done let them lobby there state congress for these things. If the state congress votes for it let the states sell bonds to pay for it. There is a better way. Our congress is out of control and they do not care what WE THE PEOPLE think of them.
If real Americans with a brain sit around and do nothing about these people running and ruining our country right now then YOU will be the ones to blame when things become so screwed up that everyone will suffer.
Get off your duff and when you have a few send letters to your representatives and senators. Write your local newspapers, do something.
I do not see Mr.Obama being re-elected in 2012. He just does not have what it takes.He is an appeaser and has been form DAY 1 !
People that voted for him did not really realize what he had in mind when he said change.
If it aint broke don't fix it.
Our healthcare system is not in dire straits. It may need a few tweaks here and there and the insurance companies need to be scolded and more fair to who they insure but the whole system does not need an overhaul. They need to scrap the bill and start over.
All this BS about cutting medicare and medicaid is disgusting. You can't hardly find a Dr. now that will take it because of how little they pay the Dr.'s. It will get even worse if it is all turned over to the government.
Do you hate Dr's that went to medical school for years and years just to be a Dr. and all they want to do now is make a living. They spent a lot of money and time going to school to learn and the government treats them like crap.
Drugs companies spends billions on research and development for the drugs you take to help you and you hate drugs companies ?
Everyone takes everything for granted and never even thinks about what it takes to be a DR. or what went into the making of drugs or machinery that do those MRI'S and such.
They never think about how much it cost to run a hospital. LIGHTS GAS, WATER, PHONE, MEALS, INSURANCE ON THE BUILDING, TAXES ON THE BUILDING,PAYMENT ON THE BUILDING, EMERGENCY ROOMS, OPERATINGS ROOMS, NURSES, MAIDS, DRS. It goes on and on.
These people that are complaining about having no health care think it is mandatory that they have health insurance. Get damn job.
There are programs in place for the poor. It is proven that they do not apply for it. Who's fault is that ? You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
Maybe Obama can send his troops out to pick all these folks up and take them to the Dr. every month, week, or whenever and sign them up.
It's like all these crazy folks on Obamas wagon, that want a government run system just want a new mommy and daddy. They are pathetic.
THERE IS A BETTER WAY TO TACKLE THIS. The current one is wrong !!
Some of the crap in that bill is down right evil just like SARAH said.
GOD BLESS AMERICA !

The Alinsky Way Vs. the American Way~JUST SAY NO

Obama from the land of Chicago Mobsters, Crooks and liars just does not get it ! Many that voted for him are all wondering what the hell they did when they voted for him. I don't see him winning in 2012 for a second term. No way. I think people are waking up and coming down off the Kool Aid high they have been on. Go to link and read it. A good read.

The Alinsky Way Vs. the American Way

Shared via AddThis

Saul Alinsky and DNC Corruption
Diane Alden
Jan. 7, 2003


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saul Alinsky died in 1972. He was a Marxist grassroots organizer who spent much of his life organizing rent strikes and protesting conditions of the poor in Chicago in the 1930s. However, unlike Christian socialist and activist for the poor Dorothy Day, Alinsky's real claim to fame was as strategist for anti-establishment '60s radicals and revolutionaries.

Indeed, Alinsky wrote the rule book for '60s radicals like Bill and Hillary Clinton, George Miller and Nancy Pelosi. He considered Hillary Rodham to be one of his better students and asked her to join him in his efforts as an organizer of radical leftist causes. But Hillary had other fish to fry on her climb to national prominence.

Alinsky had a true genius for formulating tactical battle plans for the radical left. He wrote two books outlining his organizational principles and strategies: "Reveille for Radicals" (1946) and "Rules for Radicals" (1971).

"Rules for Radicals" begins with an unusual tribute: "From all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer."

The devil challenged authority and got his own kingdom, and that goes to the heart of what left is really about. That of course is to get power any way you can, including lying, cheating and stealing. The ultimate rule is that the ends justify the means.

Alinsky asserted that he was more concerned with the acquisition of power than anything else: "My aim here is to suggest how to organize for power: how to get it and how to use it." This is not to be done with assistance to the poor, nor even by organizing the poor to demand assistance: "[E]ven if all the low-income parts of our population were organized ... it would not be powerful enough to get significant, basic, needed changes."

Alinsky advises his followers that the poor have no power and that the real target is the middle class: "Organization for action will now and in the decade ahead center upon America's white middle class. That is where the power is. ... Our rebels have contemptuously rejected the values and the way of life of the middle class. They have stigmatized it as materialistic, decadent, bourgeois, degenerate, imperialistic, war-mongering, brutalized and corrupt. They are right; but we must begin from where we are if we are to build power for change, and the power and the people are in the middle class majority."

But that didn't stop Alinsky and his followers from using the middle class for their own purposes. They counted on the guilt and shame of the white middle class to get what they wanted. In order to take over institutions and get power, the middle class had to be convinced that they were somehow lucky winners in "life's lottery."

Alinsky's radicals found a perfect vehicle for their destruction of the American system and more particularly for taking and maintaining power. That instrument was the Democratic Party.

Transition and Transaction

The transition of the old Democratic Party to what exists today should not surprise or confound conservatives. Nor should Alinsky's tactics seem foreign. After all, for nearly 40 years, Republicans and the conservative agenda have been getting hammered by the left through the successful use of Alinsky tactics.

In that cause, radicals and the liberal-left gravitated toward the print and electronic media, toward the university professorate and the law. The left, consciously or unconsciously, adopted Alinsky's rules. The impact changed the nature of the Democratic Party and the direction of the United States. Increasingly, the left is succeeding in changing the nature of the Republican Party as well.

Suffice to say the greatest change has taken place in the relationship between the state and the individual. America is rapidly descending from a representative Constitutional Republic to a collectivist empire controlled by elites of one sort or another.

Alinsky's influence on the modern Democratic Party indicates that the ends do indeed justify the means. As Alinsky states in "Rules for Radicals" it was foolish to believe that means are just as important as the ends. He states that "to believe in the immaculate conception of ends and principles ... the practical revolutionary will understand ... [that] in action, one does not always enjoy the luxury of a decision that is consistent both with one's individual conscience and the good of mankind."

Sadly, not enough Republicans and conservatives learned Alinsky's rules until late in the game. A sign of hope is the fact that the new media, including talk radio and the Internet, are changing all that. One can hope it is not too late.

In any event, Alinsky's rules include:

"Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear and retreat."

"Make the enemy live up to his/her own book of rules. You can kill them with this. They can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."

"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

"The threat is generally more terrifying than the thing itself."

"In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt."

"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it." (Think Gingrich, Lott and the success of name-calling used by the likes of Bill Clinton, Paul Begala, James Carville, Maxine Waters and others against conservatives and Republicans. Think of how Clinton "enemies" like Paula Jones or Linda Tripp were treated.)

"One of the criteria for picking the target is the target's vulnerability ... the other important point in the choosing of a target is that it must be a personification, not something general and abstract." (Trent Lott comes to mind. Meanwhile, a former Klansman by the name of Sen. Robert Byrd got away with saying "nigger" on Fox News at least three times, and he still maintains his Senate seat and power.)

"The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength." For instance, Democrats imply conservatives are racists or that Republicans want to kill senior citizens by limiting the growth of the Medicare system, they imply Republicans want to deny kids lunch money without offering real proof. These red-herring tactics work.
Of course, Republicans reaction to all this is to immediately go on the defensive. Seldom do they unleash their pit bull orators or strategists. Rather than use the immense amount of data available to prove the conservative case, Republicans tug their forelocks, say "yes sir," and hope the accusations and name calling will go away.
Why is it that Republicans consistently fail to point out the monumental failures of the new Democrats? Failures such as the massive disaster that is the "war on poverty." On that topic alone Republicans should be drilling the public in every media venue and at every opportunity. Then and only then should Republicans offer alternatives to the failed policies of the Democratic left.

Republicans should pound relentlessly on the fact that the Democratic Party was hijacked by leftist reactionaries way back in the early '70s. The reactionary left is the obstructionist left. They do nothing but defend and cling to the failures of the past. That fact makes them reactionaries rather than radicals or progressives.

Unfortunately, Republicans still pretend that nothing has changed regarding the basic philosophy of the political parties. They refuse to understand the horrendous notion that Democrats tell us the U.S. Constitution is flexible. That means the rule of law is flexible. If that is the case the law and the Constitution mean nothing. It means that the law and Constitution are twisted by the whims and fancies of the moment.

In fact, in the 2000 election Al Gore maintained the Constitution could and should be manipulated because it was "flexible." Whatever happened to the amendment process?

Bill Clinton used executive orders to circumvent Congress and the Constitution. He used the agencies of the federal government against his enemies. Clinton set an extremely dangerous precedent. Alinsky would have loved it. It is a perfect example of the use of the Rules for Radicals – ends justify the means.

Hillary and Bill Clinton and other powerful former '60s radicals learned from Saul Alinsky. It is about time that a few more Republicans and/or conservatives did as well.

Alinsky in South Dakota

Remember that Alinsky's advice was that the ends justify the means. Think of Florida in 2000 and the manipulation of military ballots. Think of Milwaukee and unattended polling places, which allowed leftist college students to take handfuls of ballots to check off. Think of a million immigrants in the 1996 election granted instant voting rights by the Clinton administration.

More importantly, think of South Dakota in November of 2002, or Nevada in 1998 or 2002.

In a brilliant bit of investigative reporting, National Review's Byron York gave us a grand overview of the corrupt and unpleasant outline of how Alinsky's rules work during election season. Republicans, once again asleep at the switch, live in the land of euphoria. They still believe that their Democratic counterparts are among the angels on God's right.

Considering that Alinsky expresses admiration for Lucifer, they are looking in the wrong place to find many modern Democrats. Republicans still assume that the modern Democratic Party, its media sycophants, its operatives during national or state elections, will play fair. It is hard to say which is worse, Republican naïveté' or Democratic cheating and law breaking.

When Democrats cheat, especially under Bill Clinton's and Terry McAuliffe's watch, they whine when they discover they didn't cheat enough to win. When they are caught in the big lies, they expect Republicans to ignore it and give them a pass. The last election in South Dakota is a case in point.

In the primaries and election of 2002, lawyers from Washington started showing up at polling places in the hinterlands of South Dakota. The Republican leadership and the establishment should have seen it coming but they didn't.

As Byron York relates in "Badlands, Bad Votes": "On Election Day, Noma Sazama knew something unusual was going on the moment she arrived at her polling place, the St. Thomas Parish Hall in Mission, South Dakota. Sazama, a member of the local election board, noticed several strangers in the room – an unusual sight in Mission, population 904, where most people know one another. It turned out the strangers were all lawyers, Democrats who had come to town to serve as poll watchers for the race between incumbent Democratic senator Tim Johnson and Republican John Thune. One was from Washington, D.C., another was from New York City, and a third was from California. 'There were no locals, and I've never seen that happen before,' says Sazama, who has lived in the area for 73 years."

Furthermore, York maintains, "The Democratic team of lawyers confiscated the Parish Hall kitchen only a few feet from the balloting tables."

Witnesses swore in affidavits that party hacks had rented dozens of vans and hired drivers to bring voters to the polls. Lawyers from elsewhere made the Parish Hall their headquarters. Seventy-three-year-old Ms. Sazama stated, "They had the names and time-of-pickup and whether someone voted on them, and from those he would contact the drivers."

Finally she understood that the influx of outside Democrats were going to use the polling place as their headquarters, an action which is against the laws of South Dakota.

The lawyers tied up the phones, which meant that the poll watchers and election officials could not make needed phone calls. York quotes the election supervisor: "They were on the phone using it to call I don't know where, and I needed to call because we had some new districting. They were always talking on it."

When Wanless, the election supervisor, protested, she got a chilly reaction from the out-of-towners. "I felt like they were trying to intimidate me," she recalls.

In fact, all this is against South Dakota law, which states: "No person may, in any polling place or within or on any building in which a polling place is located or within one hundred feet from any entrance leading into a polling place, maintain an office or communications center. ..."

There were no Republican lawyers or authorities around to inform election officials that it was against the law for the Democrats to be running their campaign from a polling place. That was bad enough, but ever since November Republicans have failed dismally to make it a BIG national issue.

There was also complete failure to understand Alinsky's second basic rule: "Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear and retreat." The DNC counted on the locals being intimidated by a gang of high-priced lawyers – and of course they were.

Another Alinsky rule used in the November elections in South Dakota: "In a fight almost anything goes. It almost reaches the point where you stop to apologize if a chance blow lands above the belt." In other words, what you do is count on the failure of will by your opponent to call a foul. The opponent usually believes it is easier to do nothing, it is always easier to do nothing, and so Republicans "move on."

That is the kind of apathy Hitler's forces counted on in the Weimar Republic. The end-justifies-the-means cabal figures that even good people find it easier to do nothing.

In South Dakota, lawyers from diverse places were part of a brigade that the DNC uses to "ensure voters' rights are protected." But as York relates, "According to the testimony of dozens of South Dakotans who worked at the polls, the out-of-state attorneys engaged in illegal electioneering, pressured poll workers to accept questionable ballots, and forced polling places in a heavily Democratic area to stay open for an hour past their previously-announced closing time. In addition, the testimony contains evidence of people being allowed to vote with little or no identification, of incorrectly marked ballots being counted as Democratic votes, of absentee ballots being counted without proper signatures, and, most serious of all, of voters who were paid to cast their ballots for Sen. Johnson."

According to some witnesses, Democrats were also running car pools out of polling places on the Indian reservations, where investigators are discovering that the dead Indian vote had a major impact on the slim, last- minute, 524-vote Tim Johnson victory over John Thune.

Affidavits from South Dakotans also indicate that money probably changed hands in crucial areas in the boonies. It was not gas money for van drivers either, but paying per head per vote – shades of Tammany Hall and the elections in Boston wards. Nonetheless, Republicans have decided to "move on."

To get the entire story, including affidavits sworn to by South Dakota residents, read York's November article in National Review Online.

Alinsky Does Nevada

When I worked at Nevada Policy Institute in Nevada several years ago, the Post-election analysis of the 1998 election uncovered the fact that family pets received absentee ballots in crucial districts. Dead people were counted as well.

Democratic Senator Harry Reid's slim, 428-vote win against Republican John Ensign raised eyebrows and the juices of some who understand how the modern DNC and its phalanx of wheelers and dealers, lawyers and opportunists really work.

A part of the tactic includes breaking the law when you can and where you can get away with it. Remember, in the minds of the hijacked Democratic Party the ends do indeed justify the Luciferian means.

In Nevada on Dec. 24, 2002, the FBI seized ballots cast in primary and general elections. Said Daron Borst, FBI special agent in Las Vegas, "There is an ongoing investigation into election fraud, but I can't go into any details due to the nature of the investigation."

Ballots were taken after a complaint was lodged that 85 voters in tiny Eureka county did not live in that county or were long dead. The Eureka County probe marked the second time this year the FBI has become involved in a county election in Nevada.

As in South Dakota, it is much easier to get away with election fraud where people don't know the law or will not enforce the law or they are intimidated by the chutzpah and law breaking of crooks in Armani suits holding credentials from the Democratic National Committee.

Unfortunately, when Republicans don't pay attention to the corruption and allow themselves to get screwed time and again, they are also in league with the devil. By this failure of will, the sins of omission are as evil as sins of commission.

Voting fraud was rampant in 2000 and again in 2002 and it will be more so in 2004. Why aren't Republican lawmakers and the RNC making sure this does not happen again? In 2002, Terry McAuliffe told the world that Democratic lawyers would be out in the states keeping an eye on things. They did more than that and it was against the law.

The failure of Republicans to impose the rule of law on the cheaters, liars and manipulators allows those who use Alinsky's corrupt system to win. That fact tells us that the voting process means as little to our elites as does the Constitution.

Because of that fact, Republicans will lose future elections. More importantly, the people of the United States will lose.

The RNC and the GOP leadership just don't get it. Otherwise they would care enough to do something about it.

Obama's radical mentor Saul Alinksky
OBAMA, RADICAL MENTOR SAUL ALINSKY, AND MARXIST LIBERATION THEOLOGY

There is quite a connection between Obama and the Industrial Areas Foundation, a radical organization located in Chicago (Obama’s turf) and the ideological heir of Saul Alinsky, a notorious revolutionary who dedicated his mail work (Rules for Rebels) to Satan.

Obama’s mentor Saul Alinsky began his book Rules for Radicals:

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

All you need to do is enter in Google first, “Obama”, then “IAF”. Check around and you will be surprised.

The radical Marxist, Saul Alinsky, was the mentor of both, Hillary and Obama and his book, “Rules for Radicals” is the bible for radicals as the “Mein Kampf ‘ was for the Nazis. As a matter of fact, Hillary based her graduation thesis on Alinsky’s works.

Pope Benedict XVI, who as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith , spearheaded the fight of Pope John Paul II against the infiltration of the Church by the Marxists through the so called “Liberation Theology”, writing in “ Truth and Tolerance” of the fall of the Soviet Union stated clearly his stand on the “Liberation Theology”:

“...where the Marxist ideology of liberation had been consistently applied, a total lack of freedom had developed, whose horrors were now laid bare before the eyes of the entire world. Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic.”

For Alinsky and his disciples:

“ There are no rules for revolution any more than there are rules for love or rules for happiness, but there are rules for radicals who want to change their world”

“ Whatever Obama’s concrete plans are, they ought to aligned with his political mentor, Saul Alinsky, and his spiritual mentor and liberation theology specialist, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.”

“ All this is in addition to Obama’s long-term membership in an exclusively African-American church, affiliated with the United Church of Christ, founded on the teachings of Black Liberation Theology, a Marxist ideology that incorporates racist concepts.”

“ Based on his record, we could expect most of the following:

-More funding of Planned Parenthood.
-Socialist medicine including abortion, pills for teens, etc., for free!
-More explicit ------------- ed in high school. Eventually in junior high!!
-ACLU-type removal of evidences of America’s Christian heritage.
-Same ------------- marriage. Pressure put on more companies and churches either to stop opposing homosexuality, or to actively support or endorse it.
-Socialist equalizing of people’s incomes—or at least lots of little attempts to move things even more in that direction.
-Screws turned on home schools, Christian schools and private schools in general.
-Jihadists around the world will see his election as a green light to pick up their tempo. (This may be the least likely outcome of any on the list. But still fairly likely.)”
“ If that sounds extreme, consider that not only did Obama and Clinton oppose Alito—pretty much all the Dems did—but he also opposed Roberts and filibustered Alito. So even a mild judicial conservative, which is what Alito and Roberts are, is intolerable to Obama. He only wants judges who will continue the court-led deconstruction of American society!”

There is need for someone with the right skills and time to work on uncovering what is really behind Obama who, for all we know, might become President of the United States. At least our people have the right to know who they are voting for.

Note: Some quotes are from “Obama’s Politics of Collective Redemption”

2010 Will Be a GOP Year~GOD BLESS AMERICA !

The GOP comeback begins in 2010.


Obama's extremely ambitious plans to remake and expand the federal government's role in American life is running up against popular resistance.

His climate change bill barely squeaked by in the House. It remains hugely controversial because most independent estimates forecast dramatic increases in energy prices and unemployment if the president ultimately winds up signing it into law.

His health care overhaul is stalled in the Senate as lawmakers grapple with the prospect of a much larger federal role in health care, not to mention a price tag of $1 trillion. Speaking of trillion dollar spending plans, the president's cherished $787 billion stimulus bill which was enacted in February has failed to create jobs. Unemployment is now at 9.5% and still climbing. When their domestic agenda stalls, presidents traditionally look abroad. Hence, Obama showed up this week in Moscow to meet with Russian leaders, argue missile defense and the meaning of the Cold War with Vladimir Putin, and perhaps take some solace from the continuing cheers of the international news media and opinion elites.

It was Yogi Berra who said, "It's deja vu all over again." History does repeat itself. If history is a guide to the future, 2010 will be a good year to run as a Republican.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the party not in control of the White House has gained seats in every off-year election after a president's first election except for two times (1934 and 2002). Off-year dynamics are different and by the time they roll around many of the themes dominant in the presidential election have faded. Most importantly, new presidents and their administrations almost always overreach. And Barack Obama and his Democratic Party are overreaching in a big way.

Did Americans who supported Obama in November ever imagine that his administration would aspire to run the auto industry and GM? "Obama Motors" is now in business after spending billions in taxpayer dollars. Does anyone really think getting the federal government more involved in the car industry will make things better?

Did Americans think an Obama administration would aspire to take control of our health care system? There are major problems in our current system that need to be fixed, but having the government compete with private insurance plans will not make things better. There is also the matter of the additional one trillion dollars that Obama plans to spend. Does anyone think more spending on a government insurance option will make things better?

Did Americans think an Obama administration would aspire to take control of our financial system? The original justification for the bank bailouts was to, supposedly, clean up bank balance sheets and remove "bad loans" or "toxic assets" from their books. Instead, we have bailouts and more proposed government control of our entire financial system. Obama's plan is so bad that banks are racing to repay government loans to be free of federal controls, proving yet again that government intervention in any sector almost always makes things worse, not better.

Did Americans think that an Obama administration would propose the equivalent of a "carbon tax" on energy sources that could double electricity rates for everyone? -- We need to tap our own sources of energy in America, not make it even more difficult to develop the energy we need to grow our economy and create new jobs.

Finally, did Americans think that an Obama administration would already succeed in doubling our national debt during his brief time in office? Under Obama's own budget figures, should he end up serving two full terms in office his deficits would be larger than the deficits of all 43 of his predecessors combined. Does anyone think that doubling the national debt will make things better?

This is not change we can believe in.

The American people instinctively understand that more government control of health care, of energy, of manufacturing and of our financial system will not make things better. Republican candidates who offer a competing vision of less government, more choices for individuals and families, lower taxes, and a growing economy with more jobs will be rewarded by the voters.

Let's look to the future.

Republicans are the party of American greatness. We aim to help everyone realize their full potential but not by relying on government paternalism. The comeback begins in 2010.

Secret Yearly Bilderberg meeting in MAY, 2009 in GREECE !

Go to the treasury departments web site. Here.

http://www.ustreas.gov/press/schedule.html

TIMMY BOY HAS HAD NOTHING ON HIS AGENDA SINCE WEDNESDAY. THE MEETING STARTED THURSDAY. He is in attendence in Greece this weekend.

Prove me wrong !! He is working on the NEW WORLD ORDER.

















He attended last year along with Hillary and Obama when the two of them suddenly became missing for two days in June.

Secret Yearly Bilderberg meeting in MAY, 2009

Council on Foreign Relations and The Bilderberg Group.Don't talk about Geithner unless you draw out his membership in either organization, both of which are funded largely by Rockefeller wealth, with David being Chairman Emeritus of CFR and a cornerstone pillar of the Bilderbergs.And when the Bilderberg group met secretly for 3 days in Chantilly Virginia last may June during the heat of the primaries, you would be surprised as to who was on the attendee list. There was Bernanke, Paulson (then Treas. Sec) and Geithner (the soon-to-be Treas. Sec.) and even Summers pulled up a chair as well. Sounds like a INSIDER tea party to me.Here is the attendee list: http://illegalprotest.com/2008/06/08/list-of-bilderberg-2008-attendees-globalists-exposed/ . If the FBI wire tapped that meeting, a ton of felony charges under The Logan Act would fall into their lap. But since no one has ever been charged under that Act, there is no chance of the powerful international Bilderberg syndicate of ever being investigated even though they are destabilizing democracies around the globe.So, remember those two groups which are running the show in near and deep background and let the citizens know of their influence and existence.

List of Bilderberg 2008 Attendees - Globalists ExposedJune 8th, 2008 Here is a nice list of the globalist elites who are coming together to try to plan the global government which will involve having THEM as the royalty and the rest of the people of the world as a single class of peasants. They are not interested in preserving personal freedom. They are interested in securing their place among the elites so they get their piece of the pie and are not counted among the peasantry of the world. Their interests, no matter what country they hail from, are in maniuplating global politics, including our Presidential election. It is a known fact that every President in the last 20-30 years has been an attendee at Bilderberg. Anyone outside Bilderberg will never have a chance at securing one of the most powerful positions in the upcoming global government.
You will notice several names from large newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal. Why is it that the Wall Street Journal finds it appropriate to not give this meeting even a mention in their paper? Do you think they are participants in the world government coverup of this annual secret meeting of the global elites? This is not tinfoil hat stuff.. this is real.
Notice that Eric Schmidt from Google is there and so are several state governors (Kansas, South Carolina).. why only a few governors? Could it be that these two are being groomed for upcoming increasing leadership roles dictated by the Bilderberg elites?
Funny thing is.. I know that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were attendees but they are not on this list. So how many names were NOT on this list and why?

Some good commentary on Bilderberg 2008 here
A description of this secretive meeting between leaders of many countries from their “press release”
“The conference will deal mainly with a nuclear free world, cyber terrorism, Africa, Russia, finance, protectionism, U.S.-European Union relations, Afghanistan and Pakistan, Islam and Iran. Approximately 140 participants will attend, of whom about two-thirds come from Europe and the balance from North America,” the release stated. “About one-third is from government and politics, and two-thirds are from finance, industry, labor, education and communications. The meeting is private in order to encourage frank and open discussion.”
World Net Daily commentary on the Hillary/Obama secretive meeting that may have been at Bilderberg
Apparently these meeting attendees from the US are not aware of the Logan Act:
The Logan Act (18 U.S.C.A. § 953 [1948]) is a single federal statute making it a crime for a citizen to confer with foreign governments against the interests of the United States. Specifically, it prohibits citizens from negotiating with other nations on behalf of the United States without authorization.
Congress established the Logan Act in 1799, less than one year after passage of the ALIEN AND SEDITION ACTS, which authorized the arrest and deportation of ALIENS and prohibited written communication defamatory to the U.S. government. The 1799 act was named after Dr. George Logan. A prominent Republican and Quaker from Pennsylvania, Logan did not draft or introduce the legislation that bears his name, but was involved in the political climate that precipitated it.
And here is another link that should get your blood boiling as pertains to this secretive meeting in Chantilly this weekend.
A Portuguese newspaper has reported on something the American corporate media remains cowardly complicit about and dare not even mention - this week’s confab of nearly 200 of the world’s most influential powerbrokers in Chantilly Virginia for the 2008 Bilderberg Group meeting.
The Sol newspaper carries a story today concerning two of the Portuguese attendees of this year’s conference, the mayors of Lisbon and Porto - Antonio Costa and Rui Rio (pictured top).
Tellingly, the report highlights the fact that Bilderberg has kingmaker power in vetting future Prime Ministers and Presidents, noting how Pedro Santana Lopes and Jose Socrates attended the 2004 meeting in Stresa, Italy before both going on to become Prime Minster of Portugal.
In addition, the report underscores how both Costa and Rio have ambitions to lead their respective parties and potentially run for Prime Minister in the future.

Council on Foreign Relations and The Bilderberg Group.
Don't talk about Geithner unless you draw out his membership in either organization, both of which are funded largely by Rockefeller wealth, with David being Chairman Emeritus of CFR and a cornerstone pillar of the Bilderbergs.
And when the Bilderberg group met secretly for 3 days in Chantilly Virginia last may June during the heat of the primaries, you would be surprised as to who was on the attendee list. There was Bernanke, Paulson (then Treas. Sec) and Geithner (the soon-to-be Treas. Sec.) and even Summers pulled up a chair as well. Sounds like a INSIDER tea party to me.

But since no one has ever been charged under that Act, there is no chance of the powerful international Bilderberg syndicate of ever being investigated even though they are destabilizing democracies around the globe.
So, remember those two groups which are running the show in near and deep background and let the citizens know of their influence and existence.

HUGO CHEVEZ AND OBAMA HAVE A POW WOW VIDEO

I don't speak spanish so I have no idea what this lady is saying, but it appears the two birds of a feather are flocking together.
Chavez and Obama having a Pow Wow.
Guess he was telling him how great it was in his country now that he has taken over almost everything. Most everything now has been seized by Chavez in his country. Oil comoanies, gas comopanies, water companies, banks, railroads, airports, steel factories, and there is just to many thing to name.
Obama is following the lead now. He already has taken control of the banks and the auto companies. I guess our energy companies are next. This country is going downhill fast.

Chains we can believe in, Americans thrash OBAMA for perceived pursuit of socialism

Obama slammed: 'Chains we can believe in'
Americans thrash president for perceived pursuit of socialism

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – A sign with President Obama's logo stating, "Chains we can believe in" welcomed hundreds of protesters to a tea party event here this evening in one of the nation's most affluent regions.

The well-known "O" logo of President Obama is combined with a play on his "Change we can believe in" slogan at a tea party protest April 15, 2009, in West Palm Beach, Fla.









Those braving rain showers to sound their objections to President Obama's policies voiced a common theme, one suggesting America is rapidly racing toward socialism.

"We're headed toward socialism, and socialism is anathema to everything this country's ever stood for," said Fritz Breland, a self-employed yacht broker from Boynton Beach. "I'm essentially unemployed because no one's buying."
















Bearing a simple cardboard sign equating Obama, socialism and evil, Breland was outspoken in his disgust for the direction in which he believes the U.S. is now headed.

A West Palm Beach police officer monitoring the event from several stories up in a parking garage estimated the crowd to be approximately 500 before a downpour began to disperse some participants.

Among those seeking shelter from the weather was Cheri Goldberg of Boca Raton, who admitted this was her first political rally.

"I have never in my entire life demonstrated, and I'm in my mid-sixties," she told WND. She said she was upset because lawmakers are "signing these bills giving out money. They haven't even read them."

Her message to Obama and Congress was simple: "Obey the Constitution, stop the bailouts and stop spending. Spend only what we have."

Tom and Carol Dekker of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., said they fled California five years ago, closing their construction business because of a high tax burden there.

"In California, we were paying upwards of 70 percent of our income to the government in taxes," said Mrs. Dekker. "Seventy percent! That's socialism."

She said if she could talk to the president in person, her advice to him would be, "Step down. He's ruining our country."

Tom Dekker said Obama's mantra of "change" and his new direction are not where America has been since its inception, and says it's unfortunate the former state lawmaker and congressman hasn't had "any knowledge of running businesses to appreciate what it's like to be able to pay your taxes, pay your employees, pay all your bills."

"He thinks that he's got an endless pot of money that he can continue to spend, and he's mistaken. He does not. People are just at the tipping point right now, and if they don't change their ways in Washington, people are going to stop ... maybe they just stop paying taxes. If everyone stopped paying their taxes, I think that would really impact what's going on."

Obama Lied; the Economy Died

Obama Lied; the Economy Died
by Tony Blankley

I am trying to capture the spirit of bipartisanship as practiced by the Democratic Party over the past eight years. Thus, I have chosen as my lead this proposition: Obama lied; the economy died. Obviously, I am borrowing this from the Democratic theme of 2003-08: "Bush lied, people died." There are, of course, two differences between the slogans.

Most importantly, I chose to separate the two clauses with a semicolon rather than a comma because the rule of grammar is that a semicolon (rather than a comma) should be used between closely related independent clauses not conjoined with a coordinating conjunction. In the age of Obama, there is little more important than maintaining the integrity of our language against the onslaught of Orwellian language abuse that is already a babbling brook and soon will be a cataract of verbal deception.

The other difference is that Bush didn't lie about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. He merely was mistaken. Whereas Obama told a whopper when he claimed that he is not for bigger government. As he said last week: "As soon as I took office, I asked this Congress to send me a recovery plan by Presidents Day that would put people back to work and put money in their pockets, not because I believe in bigger government -- I don't."

This he asserted despite the fact that the budget he proposed the next day asks for federal spending as 28 percent of gross domestic product, higher by at least 6 percent than any time since World War II. Moreover, after 10 years, Obama's proposed spending as a percentage of GDP still would be 22.6 percent, nearly 2 percentage points higher than any year during the Bush administration despite the full costs of Sept. 11, the Iraq and Afghan wars and the rebuilding of New Orleans after Katrina.

Consider also this assertion in his not-quite-State of the Union address: "My administration has also begun to go line by line through the federal budget in order to eliminate wasteful and ineffective programs. As you can imagine, this is a process that will take some time. But we're starting with the biggest lines. We have already identified $2 trillion in savings over the next decade."

But lamentably, a few days later, The Washington Post reported: "A senior administration official acknowledged yesterday that the budget does not contain $2 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade. Instead, the figure represents Obama's total efforts at deficit reduction, including tax hikes (of more than $1 trillion) on families making over $250,000 a year. It also includes hundreds of billions of dollars 'saved' by not continuing to spend $170 billion a year in Iraq."

Only a big-government man would think of calling a trillion-dollar tax increase a spending cut or "saving." Technically, of course, it is true. A trillion-dollar tax increase would reduce spending by $1 trillion for those private citizens who were taxed. And from the perspective of the federal government, a trillion dollars taxed is a trillion dollars saved from the greed of the taxpayers who produced the wealth and might well want to spend or invest it in nongovernmental activities.

But the foregoing merely are pettifogging numbers compared with Obama's bigger ideas about energy and health care (regarding health care, more in future columns). Our president shares a fascinating idea about energy with most of what used to be known as the "small is beautiful" crowd. It is a curious phenomenon that one needs a very big government to enforce the beauty of small.

Obama's secretary of energy, Steven Chu, said last year that the price of electricity in America is "anomalously low." You see how much smarter that Nobel Prize winner is than you? You probably thought you already were spending enough on electricity and fuel.

And sure enough, Obama explained last week that in order to make alternative energy sources -- wind, solar, perhaps eventually human muscle power -- economically competitive, he intends to raise the price of carbon-based energy until it is so expensive that even solar power would be such a deal.

This level of destructive irrationality cannot be accomplished in the private sector. It would take a very big government indeed to bring such inanities into being. (Disclosure: Being rational, I give professional advice to carbon-based energy producers.)

If President Obama were to try to misrepresent his positions for the next four years, there would be nothing he could say that would approach the inaccuracy of his claim last week that he is not for big government. It is the essence of the man and his presidency. He doesn't like America the way it has been since its founding, and it would take an abusively big government to realize his dreams of converting America into something quite different. If you don't know that, you don't yet know Obama.

Some comments
Energy
What amazes me is that Obama says he is for the poor. Yet, his energy policies will effect the poor more than any other class. The cost of energy and everything that uses energy will rise. How are the poor and the middle class going to afford anything when his Cap and Trade policy is passed? I bet he will blame it on the oil companies that prices will skyrocket.

rebates
I think he will give rebates to people below the magic $250,000 to cover their energy costs. He will simply take money from "wealthy' Americans and give it to those he has strapped with higher costs on everything under the sun...he will probably find a way to tax solar energy at the source also.

Obama spoke; the economy broke.
Every time he talks about the budget, or about the economy, or his approach to the financial crisis, the market tanks. As Dick Morris said (I think), at somme point Team Obama will run out of things to blame on Bush. Sure he can say he inherited a bad economy, but he is delaying its natural recovery cycle.

He seems also to imply that he's ignoring the markets, comparing them to opinion polls that cannot dictate policy. It's typical Obama (and typically liberal) to answer any contrary opinion with "I won. I'm the president."
Fine. Then be man enough to take responsibility for the coming disaster.

Never happen
Metrosexuals aren't men.

I am fascinated by how much he, his rhetoric, his arrogance resembles that of Pharoah, including his first move after his investiture was to sign death warrants on millions of preborn and some born babies world wide..just like pharoah ordered the murder of Hebrew baby boys. In the Ten Commandments Pharoah would
utter an edict and say "so let it be written; so let it be done!" Don't dare aske questions,
or it's off with your head. It was Pharoahs rebellion against God that brought each plague upon the people of Egypt after pharoah was given a warning and a chance to repent and let the people go. This modern Pharoah has been warned about the economy that's tanking further every time he opens his mouth..enslaving the people. I wonder how many plagues he will visit upon the American people as he plays god?God doesn't tolerate upstart rivals for very long..O's day of reckoning will come..and hopefully the people will have seen their sin
and repent before that time. He's already
offered up millions of preborn babies to torturous deaths on the altar of self..not a good idea when God is quite clear about how He feels about His least ones. And O knows the scripture about the "least" ones, he spouted it often enough in the campaign. No excuse for killing God's babies..

Time is running out -
We conservatives better stop being so meek about what's going on in America. I am contacting all my state republican officials and telling them to do something about the hitler madman in the whitehouse. This is so serious, that we are actually doomed soon, unless we get adolph barry hussein out of there.

Chu's "Anomalously" Low Opinion of Us

"Obama's secretary of energy, Steven Chu, said last year that the price of electricity in America is "anomalously low."
______________________________________________

"anomalous" = abnormal.

Barack Hussein Obama's Energy Secretary, Steven Chu of Berkeley is a NUTJOB QUACK! He also weighed in with his displeasure on the low amounts per gallon Americans are paying for gasoline. This radical ANTI-energy nutjob told the Wall Street Journal in September 2008:

"Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe."

Chu said he favors gradually ramping up gasoline taxes over 15 years to nudge [read: extort] consumers into buying cars that are more fuel efficient and homes that are closer to work.

Chu spoke with the WSJ in September but the newspaper didn't publish the tax comments until last week, shortly after he was identified as Obama's nominee for Energy secretary.

http://sec.online.wsj.com/article/SB122904040307499791.html

Is this the "change we can believe in" that Obama was talking about.

How does this insanely radical nutjob's proposal not mean a tax increase for the Middle class?

The ONLY people who will suffer are the very poor and middle class Americans His Husseiness claims to care about!

Only the "rich" will be able to afford to pay for or use electricity or gasoline.

Is this a tax break?

...why, yes!

...guaranteed to break one off in your @$$!

Of course (as one of my fellow posters reminded me) you won't be able to even afford the Vaseline to grease the pole rammed in your backside...

Obama & Chu: A Distardly Duo

It should not be a surprise to anyone that Barack Hussein Obama chose fellow Socialist radical Steven Chu to be his Energy secretary.

President-elect Barack Obama has pledged to force electricity prices to “skyrocket” and to “bankrupt” any new coal-fired power plants in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle that surfaced November 2.

Wants Higher Prices

With the planned imposition of strict limits on carbon dioxide emissions, electricity providers would have to purchase prohibitively expensive alternative power from sources such as wind and solar. Obama pledged he would not allow electricity providers to use less-expensive nuclear power or clean coal technology any time in the near future.

As a result, said Obama, “I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, natural gas, you name it—whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers under my plan of a cap-and-trade system. Electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”


"When I was asked earlier about the issue of coal...under my plan of cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket...even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad, because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, natural gas...you name it...whatever the plants were [note past tense], whatever the industry was, they would have to retro-fit their operations."

From the donkey's [read: @$$'s mouth]:

1. Higher gasoline prices & taxes

2. Skyrocketing electricity rates ["necessarily"]

Change you can believe in?

...absolutely.

Aren't we going to be so-o-o much better off now that we have a good president like Barack Hussein Obama?

...I can't wait...

…Can you say…pass the Vaseline?

The Undertaker
Barack Obama is the greatest disaster ever elected to the presidency. We Conservatives, Republicans, and Democrats who have been rudely awakened from "Dreams from Their 'Father,' should unite to defeat this unmitigated destructive force, who I call The Undertaker.

Mark Levin is right: He's out to destroy Wall Street and the billions that ordinary Americans have saved. He doesn't care: he wants everybody to be dependent on the national government.

Hey, folks, wake up. We're on the plantation now!

We must instigate a giant push back right now before he succeeds in melting down the economy and the nation. We must have mass rallies all over the country against this dictator.

Hope is gone and Change stands revealed as our consent to put chains on for the rest of our lives.

We need to vote NO on every Democrat in public life. There is a monster loose in our country and it will destroy our lives if we don't act.

Common Sense
It shouldn't take a rock scientist to see our problems...... Democrats took over Congress and Senate November 2006 when the dow was 14,000 an all time high...... It has been down hill since then...... It is now about 6,500, and falling...... Do you think maybe, those that can invest in our country, has no faith in this administration?..... Our Businesses are either holding back or moving out of the Country...... Can we blame them, after all they are being attacked by increased taxes by this administration so we can supply the people that do not want to work....... Common sense should tell us that all they have to do is increase the cost of their goods to make up for tax increases....... There is an old saying don't bite the hands that feed you, I for one is sick of Washington biting mine....... Wake up America we are being sold out, buy the same people we vote back in office......The change we need is for Our President not to listen to this administration, and make the real changes we need.

dolly Obama isn't listening to anyone
he is but a puppet for the Acorn movement and others. This is a very powerful move to take over America
The common cersertive is right. If you want America to remain America with her freedoms as we have known it. You best quit blogging and get off our fat pampered behinds and join forces and DO something.
Obamam is selling us down the river faster then a drunken salior on shore leave at a strip bar. Wake up True American's put your hands around real work and earn a living . Stop waiting for hand outs while you r busy waiting for someone to feed and cloth you your losing your freedom to have any say in what your life will be like.
The blame lies with US> being lead like blind sheep to the voter offices. the writing has always been on the wall you numb skulls only saw what you thought was a black man... He isn't black any more then he is white HELLO he had a black father and a white mother and raised by his white grandparents DUH!!!!! he is NOT afraicn American But then again neither or the 99% of you who claim that title you were like I was born Right her ein America YOU are American PERIOD! Black white red brown I dont give a rats behind. we need to join forces and beat back the people who want to ruin America as we have known it. If the current adminstration gets their way none of us will have a place like this to speak out openly. Your throwing your freedom away with both hands.
Many fo you did that when you blindly went to the polls like sheep being led to the slaughter you chanted OBAMA OBAMA CHANGE WE WANT CHANGE well how r you likeing the change so far DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

White House to break ground on 'kitchen garden'

LOOK THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH GROWING YOUR OWN GARDEN BUT WHEN THESE FOOLS GET DONE WITH THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN WE WILL BE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD. WHAT NEXT, CLOTHES LINES ? FIRST WE HAVE A SWING SET NOW A GARDEN. GIVE ME A BREAK. WHAT HAPPENED TO INTEGRATY OF THE WHITE HOUSE ? Guess there is none anymore.
Can you imagine the main stream media, if PRESIDENT BUSH AND LAURA had planted a garden on the South Lawn. They would been all over him and LAURA...but "that one" could put an OUTHOUSE on the South Lawn and ALL WOULD BE FINE .

SOOOOO...THE PICTURE POSTED A FEW WEEKS AGO WASN'T A LIE AFTERALL. LMAO.



WASHINGTON – The White House is getting a new garden.



Waters advocates eating locally produced foods that are in season, because she believes that the international shipment of mass-produced food is both harmful to the environment and produces an inferior product for the consumer.

Michelle Obama is scheduled to break ground Friday on a new garden near the fountain on the South Lawn that will supply the White House kitchen.

She will be joined by students from Bancroft Elementary School in the District of Columbia. The children will stay involved with the project, including planting the fruits, vegetables and herbs in the coming weeks and harvesting the crops later in the year.

Mrs. Obama spent time earlier this week at an exhibit on rooftop gardening.

"We're going to get a big one in our back yard, the South Lawn," she promised the volunteers.

Such a White House garden has been a dream of noted California chef Alice Waters, considered a leader in the movement to encourage consumption of locally grown, organic food. She has been appealing for change through the taste buds since the 1960s.

She organized a series of fundraising dinners in Washington before President Barack Obama's inauguration in January that served foods purchased from local producers at an area farmer's market to show how it can be done.

Reached Thursday at her Berkeley, Calif., restaurant, Chez Panisse, Waters said she was thrilled by the news.

"It just tells you that this country cares about people's good health and about the care of the land," she said. "To have this sort of 'victory' garden, this message goes out that everyone can grow a garden and have free food."

Victory gardens were vegetable gardens planted during the world wars with encouragement from the government to make sure there was enough food for civilians and the troops. Waters says her family had such a garden.

Waters has been lobbying for a vegetable garden at the White House since 1992. Recent White Houses have grown some herbs and have practiced limited container gardening on the mansion's roof to supply it with tomatoes, peppers and other vegetables.

The new garden will be the first on the White House grounds in many decades, Waters said.

She said Michelle Obama always has been receptive to the idea.

"She talks about food in connection with children, and it's a beautiful thing," Waters said.

Waters also has pushed the administration to adopt her Edible Schoolyard project in which children plant their own produce to eat in the school cafeteria. Most public schools are serving too much processed food that is contributing to the childhood obesity epidemic, she argues.

PROZAC OBAMA IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL

This poor excuse for a President acts like a kid in a candy store.
How sad for America ! I can only pray we can keep her together for 4years. It sure would be nice if he resigned !

He was soooo wanting to go for a ride on Airforce One that he opted to use it to go to Virginia for a meeting the first week when a helicopter ride was the norm. Then he went off to Camp David at the end of his first week to spend Saturday night and check out the place and returned on Sunday. He had to fly out to Colorado to sign the first pork bill. Biden flew on airforce two. Talk about wasting taxpayers money...Then off to Arizona for something. Forgot what that was all about. Then it was off to Camp David again this past weekend and it goes on an on. He is a restless soul. MAYBE HE SHOULD BE PUT ON PROZAC. IMAGINE THAT !

And now they have Wednesday night parties at the Whitehouse every week and the first lady has to tell everyone to please not break anything in the white house. GUESS THEY REALLY GET DRUNK HUH ?

What a low class bunch of scumbags. I guess it takes all kinds.

We finally got one now that has no respect for the office at all and don't give a shit what anyone thinks while we pay for all this shit.

Voters' Obama Folly Coming Home to Roost

It's only been 7 weeks since the man whose resume fits nicely on the back of a postage stamp became the most powerful human being in the universe. As Presidents go, Barack Obama has proven at least one thing true: change is like the flip of a coin. Change can bring the best of times; change can bring the worst of times. And anyone over the age of twelve ought to have known that. Instead, 52% of the American electorate has run around like a bunch of howling ninnies for the past year chanting like a horde of Jim Jones' followers, who can't get enough of the poison kool-aid.

So much for progressive enlightenment.

With an economy in shambles, slinking toward all-out depression a little further each day, the President doesn't know the difference between a popularity-based political tracking poll and the confidence meter of the stock market, which represents the actual savings and pension funds of millions and millions of ordinary Americans. Heck, the golden boy of campaign one-liners doesn't even know that P/E ratio stands for price/earnings, not profit/earnings.

If only he had once had a paper route instead of all those pick-up games with the hoops.

That famed transition team -- the team that was given greater inside access than ever in history by a more-than-gracious out-going President, is about to go down as the most incompetent bunch of nincompoops ever produced by a university system. Those fancy degrees are evidently not worth the paper upon which they're printed.

In a time of mounting economic peril, even as the transition team dithered, one would have thought that fully staffing the Department of the Treasury would have been top priority. Not for this bunch. Timothy tax-cheat-TurboTax-challenged Geithner is a one-man Treasury Department and is so out of touch that he spent precious minutes in front of a Congressional panel scolding our own gas and oil companies for damaging the environment, even as a record 31.8 million Americans sign up for food stamps.

Earth to Tim: You won't get the Country out of this mess by slamming the companies that hire us so we won't need to be on the dole.

Is there a single business enterprise in America that this administration doesn't hate with a death wish?

Some of those folks now lining up to get food stamps and the like probably worked in the domestic tourist industries that have taken a whack from President Obama. Every time the President slams a trip by so-and-so from such-and-such company, real people lose the jobs they would have had providing services to these executives.

Las Vegas isn't known for anything but catering to out-of-towner, is it?

Evidently, a teleprompter attached to each of one's hips does not guarantee even a single gaffe-free moment. For all the rhetorical hit jobs perpetrated against Governor Sarah Palin, this woman got up and delivered one of the best speeches of this entire campaign with teleprompter glitches and a set of notes scribbled on by several others, all without so much as breaking a nail or missing a beat. President Obama's motto: have 2 teleprompters, will travel.

So much for Mr. Erudite.

When it comes to the very few jobs with which our federal government is actually commissioned by the U.S. Constitution, this Administration is coming up on empty every single day. While this President calls committee meeting after committee meeting (he calls them summits) for more well-educated nincompoops to sit around and B.S. their way through our domestic problems, our foreign policy is looking like the Keystone Cops high on M&Ms.

Foreign policy is actually in the Constitution; health, education and welfare are not.

President Obama has evidently decided that Israel and Great Britain are quite dispensable allies, but the Chinese, the Russians, the Iranians, the Syrians and Hamas are going to be our new best friends.

Obama dispatches Madame Secretary Clinton to the Chinese to beg them not to stop supporting our debt, but not to worry about those prickly human rights issues because we're not going to fret over those millions and millions of human beings kept under the brutal boot of communism any more. China answers with a wink and a nod and announces they're upping military spending by 15%. Several days later the Chinese surrounded one of our unarmed naval vessels as personnel charted the ocean floor and demand we leave international waters.

On the flip side, President Obama stuns the British and American publics with the most flagrant snubs between our two peoples since the Revolutionary War. First, foregoing the customary joint press conference with the flags and ceremony. Then the obvious denial of even a nice lunch for the Brit. Then the cake-taker of bad manners, a tacky, cheap gift in exchange for the exquisitely tasteful gifts from the British people. Their press is agog from it and declaring that the U.S. will be sorry for this. When President Obama sent back the bust of Churchill, given right after the 9/11 attacks, without so much as a note of explanation, perhaps the Brits should have known something sinister was afoot in the Oval Office.

Back to our newfound friends, President Obama moved swiftly after the Israelis' attempt to destroy rocket-launching sites in Gaza to offer $900 million in assistance to the Palestinians -- read Hamas. And Secretary Clinton made sure to take note of the damage done by those nasty Israelis while she toured the West Bank, taking the opportunity to publicly scold Israel (our heretofore friend), causing Israeli leaders to sneer, "She's not the Hillary we knew." Hillary was barely out of the region before Iran test fired a new long range missile and made certain to notify the Israelis that the new missiles are fully capable of hitting Israel's nuclear facilities.

Now, when are we going to get to see all that "smart power"?

Not with the Russians, apparently. When Mrs. Clinton made her "smart power" debut there last week, she carried a gimmicky little gadget, resembling the Staples "Easy Button." Only Mrs. Clinton's perfectly cutesy-pie idea was to inscribe the Russian word for "reset" on the button. Instead our State Department academic wiz kids put the Russian word for "overcharge" on the little button, making mincemeat of Hillary's "smart power" before she even got out of the gate.

Meanwhile, the Russians guffawed at President Obama's offer to trade missile defense systems in Eastern Europe (he had already pre-announced his intention to scrap missile defense systems, remember?) for help with the Iranian nuclear "problem," saying "haggling" over such things is unproductive.

Shades of JFK and the Cuban Missile Crisis are making my skin crawl.

The North Koreans are acting up a storm too, and blithely threatening South Korean civilian airliners, while they prepare to launch a far-reaching missile that they're calling a "satellite." As if that weren't enough, the North Koreans are also brazenly uttering war threats - not asking to come to the negotiating table where all the "smart power" folks are in charge now.

Not to worry, though, because as Gallup, Rasmussen and Zogby remind us every day, this President is still one popular, cool dude to the 52% who drank his kool-aid from the campaign trail -- plus a few Americans who probably didn't even vote but love to talk to pollsters on the tele. And as gloom and doom stalk every hardworking American, the Obamas party hardy, feasting on delicacies, toasting celebrities and stick us with the check.

Anyone in Obamaland ever hear of cognitive dissonance? Tar and feathers?

So, what will the campaign slogan of the other party be for 2012?

I'll have a whack at it.

Obama lied; hope died.

The Iranians got the A-bomb, the Russians got their jive back and the Chinese own everything.

Vote for the un-cool, work-experienced, good-without-a-teleprompter guy or gal who knows a friend from a foe and can add 2 + 2 and get 4 every single time.
