| Achievement, enterprise and the entrepreneur spirit have
always been a unique hallmark of our country. We have been allowing ourselves to be slammed down and are
literally giving that unique heritage away. We must build back our manufacturing base, allow business and ideas
to prosper again and shred the controlling and destructive taxation, litigation and regulation strangling free
enterprise. Remember who America was, is and can become. It must be reflective of our Godly heritage, miraculous constitution, bill of rights, our own history and achievement. |
| It is incumbent upon each of us to seriously ponder our
future. It is imperative that each of us be willing to study, once again, the great principles upon which this
country was built. Such a study demands that we re-familiarize ourselves with the U.S. Constitution and Bill of
Rights. We must re-read our Declaration of Independence. We must read the words of wisdom and warnings delivered by our Founding Fathers. In short, we must be completely familiar with the principles of liberty, because those principles made us, and only those principles will keep us. We must teach these basics to our children, for the public schools have a different agenda. While parents, schools, provinces and states across North America bicker about the democratic process of running public schools, forces are manipulating education from behind the scenes. Major international players are reshaping public education to suit their own self-serving agendas, without regard for the wants of parents and the welfare of their children. Today's schools dumb down kids deliberately, making zombie-like people who don't ask any questions but just follow orders. |

The fourth section of the fourth article of the constitution, directs that "the United States shall guaranty to every state in the Union a republican form of government." The form of government is to be guaranteed, which supposes a form already established, and this is the republican form of government the United States have undertaken to protect. REPUBLIC: A government in the republican form; a government of the people; it is usually put in opposition to a monarchical or aristocratic government, and certainly not a democracy. Its purpose is to control The Majority strictly, as well as all others among the people, primarily to protect The Individual's God-given, unalienable rights and therefore for the protection of the rights of all minorities, and the liberties of the people in general. The definition of a Republic is: a constitutionally limited government of the representative type, created by a written Constitution - adopted by the people and changeable (from its original meaning) by them only by its amendment - with its powers divided between three separate Branches: Executive, Legislative and Judicial. DEMOCRACY: That form of government in which the sovereign power is exercised by the people in a body, as was the practice in some of the states of Ancient Greece; the term representative democracy has been given incorectly to a republican government like that of the United States. The exercise is usually accomplished by free and fair voting and/or consensus. In both the Direct type and the Representative type of Democracy, The Majority's power is absolute and unlimited; its decisions are unappealable under the legal system established to give effect to this form of government. This opens the door to unlimited Tyranny-by-Majority. (Mob Rule.) This was what The Framers of the United States Constitution meant in 1787, in debates in the Federal (framing) Convention, when they condemned the "excesses of democracy" and abuses under any Democracy of the unalienable rights of The Minority and The Individual by The Majority. COMPARISON: These two forms of government: Democracy and Republic, are not only dissimilar but antithetical, reflecting the sharp contrast between (a) The Majority Unlimited, in a Democracy, lacking any legal safeguard of the rights of The Individual and The Minority, and (b) The Majority Limited, in a Republic, under a written Constitution safeguarding the rights of The Individual and The Minority. This is the key difference in the core position of the Republican and Democratic Parties that so many people seem to forget, and that the parties themselves allow to be obscured by those seeking only more power instead of supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States of America which is their oath of office. CONCLUSION: Democracy, as a form of government, is utterly repugnant to (is the very antithesis of) the traditional American system: that of a Constitutional Republic, and its underlying philosophy, as expressed in essence in the Declaration of Independence with primary emphasis upon the people's forming their government so as to permit them to possess only "just powers" (limited powers) in order to make and keep secure the God-given, unalienable rights of each and every Individual and therefore of all groups of Individuals. The first genuine and soundly founded Republic in all history was the one created by the first genuine Constitution, which was adopted by the people of Massachusetts in 1780 after being framed for their consideration by a specially chosen Constitutional Convention. In 1787-1788, the United States Constitution was framed by the Federal Convention for the people's consideration and then ratified by the people of the several States through a Ratifying Convention in each State specially chosen by them for this sole purpose. Thereafter the other States gradually followed in general the Massachusetts pattern of Constitution-making in adoption of a genuine Constitution. |

| Back on the campaign trail, Barack Obama vowed his would be the most "transparent"
administration in U.S. history. Perhaps what he meant was that the mainstream media would look past the
foibles of those he selects for high positions under his watch. The latest "for instance" comes in the person of "Safe School Czar" Kevin Jennings. Apparently, in the eyes of Jennings, a "safe school" is one where it's safe for an adult male to pursue a homosexual relationship with a student. Jennings denied condoning a relationship between a 15-year-old student and an adult male and threatened to sue a fellow teacher who called his refusal to report the incident "unethical." But since then, an audiotape has surfaced on which Jennings related to an Iowa homosexual advocacy group that he told the student to make sure to use a condom when seeing the older man. To most of us, allowing - and even promoting - statutory rape is grotesque, unquestionably illegal and grossly negligent, but to Obama, it appears to be qualification for the job. Meanwhile, a recent GOP amendment prohibiting the creation of "czar" positions unless Congress confirms appointees was killed by a procedural move made by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Chicago). |

Reinvestment Act of 1977 , Jimmy Carter created the 'Foundation Block' of this economic crisis, the
Democratic Party then started building upon it, and Bill Clinton "strengthened" the entire disastrous process

When President Bush "43" offered Congress a chance to fix the looming economic crisis – in 2003 – Democrats like Representative Barney Frank and Senator Chuck Schumer said there was no problem. Then – in 2005 – John McCain Warned Of Mortgage Collapse, and Democrats like Senator Barack Obama blocked the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005. |

call any American vile labels for challenging the eligibility of Obama/Soetoro are either intellectually lazy
and refuse to do the real research. Their paychecks mean more to them than the truth, or they believe in
Obama/Soetoro's Marxist agenda. This usurper must be removed from office. Not because Obama/Soetoro is a

It behooves you, therefore, to be watchful in your States as well as in the Federal Government.If you do not start RIGHT NOW, to insist all of your family, neighbors and friends heed this warning, then you will be on my list as part of the machine that brought down America. I have had enough of the bleeding heart liberals, socialists and spoiled brats from the 60's. They are ruining our great nation, and we may not be able to recover from the damage that the ignorant have done to the rest of us. Yes, I said ignorant. Do you know what the tenth amendment says? If not, then I can call you a traitor, and part of the cause of our downfall. If you don't like it, then that is too bad because it is a fact. You didn't like what happened on Bush's watch? That's nothing. Do you see what's happening on Obama's watch? If you haven't seen it and aren't outraged, then you are not paying attention! If you aren't paying attention, then you are part of the cause of our destruction. Don't believe this? Then you are an ignorant fool that has helped kill our country. If you want to be like the people in the mad max movies, then ignore my request, because that is exactly what we will become if you don't get on a stick today. Not next week, or next month, or when it starts to get really bad. NOW! Why am I mad? Because it is these people that have hosed my grandchildren! --JB |

President Obama expected the world to stand at attention when he gave his speech on healthcare to a joint
session of Congress this week. But Americans gave him a huge thumbs down. In fact, most Americans didn't even watch Obama's speech - despite the media hoopla, they are tiring of his "Rah-Rah for me" crap. The people don't like the "worship me" messages and elongating list of broken promises. Many just flat don't believe the liar anymore. Only about 10 percent of Americans even tuned in - and that was an incredible drop of 39 percent from the TV audience that tuned in to watch Obama's State of the Union speech just last January! Americans are voting with their minds. They are tired of his ignorant speeches. They are tired of the lies and deceit from Obama and his entire camp in Washington. Obama has stated repeatedly that illegals will not be covered, but he knew full well that there was NO provision in the House or Senate bills to stop illegals from getting free healthcare. Unless he still has not read it? Or maybe he can't think as well as the rest of America. Obama claimed critics were causing hysteria by saying the plan called for "death panels" of the elderly. He's right - they are not called death panels. They are called "oversight" panels which will set policies on the use of resources to pay for medical resources. But, Sarah Palin's label still fits. That means rationing. That means faceless bureaucrats will decide who lives and who dies. Obama said during the ABC Special on Wednesday night that a way to save healthcare costs is to abandon the sort of care that “evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve” the patient’s health. He went on to say that he had personal familiarity with such a situation when his grandmother broke her hip after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. It's already happening in Europe. Just this week the London Telegraph reported that doctors working for Britain's National Health Service are systematically killing the elderly that have terminal diseases. According to the British report, a doctor can decide to withhold food and water from a patient who has a terminal illness - even though the patient may be able to live for a long time with proper care. To mask the trauma of this starvation technique, the doctor gives the patient sedatives until the patient dies. The paper said the matter had become a "national crisis" in Britain. Would you trust someone like President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, or Senate majority Leader Harry Reid to oversee your health - to appoint people who will make such life and death decisions? My God, look at the other czars he has appointed, and those in his cabinet, his advisor's, they read like a who's who from the Chicago mob. This is the grave danger of Obamacare, in addition to being one of many of his an unconstitutional acts, and this is just the begining with 3.25 years left. In the end he turns control of your health - and your life - to the government and faceless bureaucrats and away from you, your family, and your own doctor. Sorry, but Obama's credibility is waining toward the critical point. The people are starting to tune him out. (hint hint) His only gift as an orator, almost as good as Hitler, is becoming of no value to the machine behind him. The people are realizing that voting him in was a HUGE mistake. We don't believe you any more. He is even becoming the brunt of jokes from Hollywood. The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien: With all the broken promises and misrepresentations, and terrible appointments... And, he obviously doesn't understand that almost all of his actions since becoming president are unconstitutional as well as the fact he was not eligible to begin with... Etc., etc., etc. Where/how/when will this Obamanation end? |

"Dozens of engineers wonder how those buildings collapsed as they did." Well, YEAH...that's what we engineers do, we wonder about things and then come up with answers! In this case, the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers for all you liberal arts majors) released a report in 2002 on the event. To summarize: "...the report concluded that the towers withstood the impact of the two hijacked jetliners, and if not for the intense fire ignited by the thousands of pounds of fuel carried by the planes, and fueled by the contents of the buildings, the towers likely would have stood indefinitely. However, the two events occurring simultaneously led to the collapse. Basically what happened was that the heat of the fires weakened the structural supports to the extent that the buildings "pancaked" on themselves. DUH! If you're interested in the full report, go to http://www.asce.org/. All of the speculation is only that, just speculation. There is no scientific justification for the speculative claims such as "it sounded like a bomb", or "it looked like a demolition". If you are still in belief of these ignorant claims, then you probably also voted for Obama. Your childish attitude and ignorant thinking is ruining our once great country, as indicated with facts on this an many other websites. Now, please just STFU! |

| While an adoring media heap adulation on him, Obama has
presided over the appointment of an appalling rogue's gallery of crooks, cronies, and tax cheats to the
highest levels of our government - while reneging on promises to make government more transparent and
accountable. If this is not obvious to you, then you haven't been paying attention. All of this was predicted, and for some reason, the (ignorant) people didn't want to listen. Because of this, our nation is totally screwed. |

| We may need health care reform in America, but there is a right way - and a wrong way -
to go about it. President Obama and Congressional Democrats want a government-run health care system that puts a Washington bureaucrat between American families and their doctors. And yes, that does include the 'death panel' as Sarah Palin said. She said it because it's true, she's read the bill. Have you? And Obama has said that there would be one. Their first thought was to try to rush a bill to the White House before Congress left Washington for August recess, and now we know why. The American people have had a chance to read for themselves what President Obama and his Democrat allies in Congress intend for our health care and have been letting them know, loud and clear, in townhall meetings and national polls, that they don't like it at all. But the Obama Democrats have circled the wagons, stung and angry that the people dare presume to tell them what kind of health care they want. So Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid will be coming back to Washington to show the American people they won’t let a little thing like public outrage get between them and their desire for socialist control over our lives. Barack Obama and congressional Democrats think government is the solution to every problem. They're wrong. The government already runs car companies, banks and mortgage companies. Republicans believe that the last thing the American people want is government telling them when and where - or even whether - they can get medical treatment for their families. |
| Medicare, the largest purchaser of health care in the United States, doesn't negotiate.
It sets prices that providers must accept. This threatens insurance companies because they have to pick up the slack. Medicare generates a net loss for health-care providers that they can only make up by charging higher rates to private insurers. As government buys more health care at lower and lower costs, insurers will be forced to pay more and more. Wall Street is worried this cycle will feed on itself until the last private insurer goes belly up. This is just one more example of how the Democrats will create a crisis, that will easily convince the ignorant masses (voters) that only more government can solve the problem, like it is already doing with the auto industry, the banks, everything else it can control. The game is to create a crisis, fix it by taxation to pay for more government, less liberty. You remember liberty... the foundation of America, and why so many millions have immigrated here. |
| "The American people must regain the ability to distinguish between wants and needs and

| "Liberals think they can improve the problem of a partial monopoly by turning it into a total monopoly. That's what single-payer health care is: 'Single payer' means 'single provider.'

| Though there are several varieties of aerosols, previous research has shown that two
types - sulfates and black carbon - play an especially critical role in regulating climate change. Both are
products of human activity. Sulfates, which come primarily from the burning of coal and oil, scatter incoming solar radiation and have a net cooling effect on climate. Over the past three decades, the United States and European countries have passed a series of laws that have reduced sulfate emissions by 50 percent. While improving air quality and aiding public health, the result has been less atmospheric cooling from sulfates. At the same time, black carbon emissions have steadily risen, largely because of increasing emissions, mostly from Asia. Black carbon - small, soot-like particles produced by industrial processes and the combustion of diesel and biofuels - absorb incoming solar radiation and have a strong warming influence on the atmosphere. Since the 1890s, surface temperatures have risen faster in the Arctic than in other regions of the world. In part, these rapid changes could be due to changes in aerosol levels. Clean air regulations passed in the 1970s, for example, have likely accelerated warming by diminishing the cooling effect of sulfates. Credit: Drew Shindell, Goddard Institute for Space Studies. PDF Graph - Read More So, it seems that our efforts so clean up the air has helped warm the planet. The US and GB efforts will not have very much impact because Asia (China) and India combined produce more of this than the US and the EU. They will not comply with the Kyoto Treaty, which will make our participation a total waste of money our country cannot afford.

| According to Census tables, "The percentage of African-Americans living below the poverty level was 33.4 percent (10.8 million) in 1992, the year Clinton was first elected president. By 2000, the year Bush was elected, that figure had dropped to 22.5 percent (7.9 million) - a decrease of 10.9 percent. From 2000, however, the Black poverty increased from 22.5 percent to 23.9 percent in 2002 and 24.3 percent in 2003 (9.1 million)." Now that we have a 'black president', userper Barry Sotero is giving away $13.3 Billion Dollars of our money to foreign countries, another $500 billion in swaps, and importing more people than the jobs we are losing, it is doubling the unemployed to record setting levels. This mass immigration displaced Blacks from taxi cab jobs, janitorial services, delivery, fast food, construction, landscaping, moving jobs and more. The traitors Pelosi, Reid, and now Obama, augment 138,000 legal immigrants into America every 30 days, without societal responsibility. Combined with another 100,000 unlawful immigrant workers added monthly, American Blacks take a backseat in the economic, housing, educational and opportunity bus. But, because Mr. Obama is 'black', and promised change, everyone has fallen for the lies. Duped by ignorance, (what got him elected) he just continues the lies while screwing not only African-Americans, but everyone else too. |
| How can political commentators, politicians and academics
get away with statements like "Reagan budget deficits," "Clinton budget surplus," "Bush budget deficits" or
"Obama's tax increases"? The only answer is that they, or the people who believe such statements, are
ignorant, conniving or just plain stupid. Article I, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution reads: "All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills." A president has no power to raise or lower taxes. The president can only propose tax measures or veto them, but since Congress can ignore presidential proposals and override a presidential veto, it has the ultimate taxing power. The same principle applies to spending. A president cannot spend a dime that Congress does not first appropriate. As such, presidents cannot be held responsible for budget deficits or surpluses. That means that credit for a budget surplus or blame for budget deficits rests on the congressional majority at the time. Thinking about today's massive deficits, we might ask: Where in the U.S. Constitution is Congress given the authority to do anything about the economy? Between 1787 and 1930, we have had both mild and severe economic downturns that have ranged from one to seven years. During that time there was no thought that Congress should enact New Deal legislation or stimulus packages along with massive corporate handouts. It took the Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt administrations to massively intervene in the economy. As a result, they turned what might have been a two or three-year sharp downturn into a 16-year depression that ended in 1946. How they accomplished that is covered very well in a book authored by Jim Powell titled "FDR's Folly." Here's my question: Were the presidents in office and congresses assembled from 1787 to 1930 ignorant of their constitutional authority to manage and save the economy? If you asked President Obama or a congressman to cite the specific constitutional authority for the bailouts, handouts and corporate takeover, I'd bet the rent money that they would say that their authority lies in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution that reads: " The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Impost, Excises to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States. " They'd tell you that their authority comes from the Constitution's "general welfare" clause. James Madison, the father of our constitution, explained, " If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the general welfare, the government is no longer a limited one possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one subject to particular exceptions. " He later added, " With respect to the two words 'general welfare,' I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators. " Thomas Jefferson said, " Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated. " That means only those powers listed. The Constitution provides, through Article V, a means by which the Constitution can be altered. My question to my fellow Americans whether they are liberal or conservative: Has the Constitution been amended to permit Congress to manage the economy? I'd also ask that question to members of the U.S. Supreme Court. I personally know of no such amendment. What we're witnessing today is nothing less than a massive escalation in White House and congressional thuggery. Secure in the knowledge that the American people are compliant and willing to cast off the limitations imposed on Washington by the nation's founders, future administrations are probably going to be even more emboldened than Obama and the current Congress. |

Newsmax has learned that the Obama administration also has zeroed out funding for pro-democracy programs inside Iran from the State Department budget for fiscal 2010, just as protests in Iran are ramping up.

As Dick Morris says: "Right now Obama is waging a war on prosperity while canceling the war on terror." (Dick
Morris was Bill Clintons chief advisor.) And he is right. (IMHO) :-)

it: "You cannot tax a country into prosperity, but only into slavery." |

| I am sorry, but how can the Faux Pres receive a high approval rate (or any at all) when a story on the front page of yesterday's New York Times quoted a White House senior staffer as saying that Pres. Obama will pursue immigration reform that "controls immigration and makes it an orderly system." Last week's unemployment numbers continued to worsen and most economists say the job cuts will continue at a high rate. But Pres. Obama insists on offering amnesty to more than 12 million illegal aliens while more than 13 million Americans are looking for work. Please explain this to me. Unless it is only for the votes of those 12 million that are the basis for the approval rating.... -JB |
The evidence that Barack Hussein Obama (Barry Santos) (Soetoro) was born in
Africa - not Hawaii as he claims - and, therefore, cannot serve as the President of the United States, is
compelling:
See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkjFc3S21nY and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmWxJqQe6Gs as Proof and Listen to the Kenya Ambassidor state he was born there. Even the Democrats know he is dangerous. Read: http://clintondems.com/2008/11/understanding-obama-the-making-of-a-fuehrer/ , posted on the eve of the election. |
| It was disclosed last week that the AKA (Also Known As
'Barack Obama') Certification of Live Birth (COLB) documents, appearing mostly on pro-AKA sites, have been
forged and/or altered. These documents can be viewed at: dailykos.com politifact.com fightthesmears.com latimesblogs.latimes.com These images are represented by digital files, ie, computer language which can be opened using a text editor program. The COLB appearing at the dailykos.com URL above carries the following information in the digital file: What this says is that this image was forged/altered on June 12, 2008 at 08:42:36 using Photoshop CS3 for Macintosh. The COLB appearing at the politfact.com URL above carries the following information in the digital file: It seems that a computer named "Ducky" was used and Adobe to alter this file. An e-mail to Amy Hollyfield who wrote the article for politifact.com, requesting of her where she obtained the image shown in the article, goes unanswered. The same is true of the COLB appearing at the fightthesmears.com URL above: And the same is also true of the COLB appearing at the L.A. Times URL's above: That the digital images appearing on fightthesmears.com, politifact.com, and the L.A. Times all appear to have been altered using the same computer makes it apparent they all came from the same source. It is also obvious from the digital files of these images, that there are multiple forged/altered copies on the internet. It is these COLB's that Congress have referenced in claiming that AKA was born in Hawaii. It is very obvious that not one of these documents is authentic. |

As you may know, during the Clinton administration, a Phoenix Federal
Bureau of Investigation and Joint Terrorism Task Force explicitly designated "defenders" of the
Constitution as "right-wing extremists." Now a secret Missouri state police report that categorized supporters of Congressman Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin as "'militia' influenced terrorists." The report, he said, "instructs the Missouri police to be on the lookout for supporters displaying bumper stickers and other paraphernalia associated with the Constitutional, Campaign for Liberty, and Libertarian parties." A review of the report reveals that opposition to any of the following risks someone being classified as a potential "domestic terrorist":
I encourage everyone who believes in the freedom of speech and who believes that the MIAC report is an egregious miscarriage of justice to contact the appropriate Missouri police officials. Here is the contact information: Email address: Brandon.middleton@mshp.dps.mo.gov |

| "They came first for the communists, and I did not speak up-because I was not a communist; And then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak up - because I was not a trade unionist; And then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up because I was not a Jew; And then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak up." |
| James Madison: "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents... If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions. The powers delegated by the Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." Those who do not understand our history - mostly those identified as "liberal" in contemporary vernacular - assume the words of our Founders are as antiquated as the Declaration and Constitution they created. However, students of history understand that both the threats our Founders confronted at the dawn of our nation, and their advice, have endured to this day. Indeed, to paraphrase Santayana's aphorism, "They who do not know their history are destined to repeat it." |

| In literal terms, without the
authoritarian propaganda spin, here is how things work: A bunch of liars and crooks, declaring themselves
to be our rightful rulers, steal tons and tons of money from the rest of us. They then spend far MORE than
they steal, and declare that the difference, the debt, is OUR responsibility. And almost everyone accepts
that as true. It's not. Those wearing the label of "government" borrowed money from people, promising to pay it back. How would they do that? By continually taxing you and me. EVERYONE, Americans and foreigners, who bought Treasury bonds, or by any other means loaned money to any government, on the promise that the government would later pay it back, was banking on the fact that the tyrants would be able to continue robbing YOU and ME. That is how "investments" in all levels of "government," from federal stuff down to local "municipal bonds," work. |
| Ignorance. "One of my wife's friends told her on Tuesday that someone she knew had been renting a house to a single African-American woman for several years. The lady had apparently never missed a payment or even been late with one. But, for some strange reason, immediately after Barack Obama was elected to office last November, the woman reportedly stopped paying rent. When politely questioned about it, she told her landlord: "We have a new president now and some things are going to change." He replied: "Well, that's fine, but you still have to pay your rent," to which she reiterated: "No, we have a new president now and some things are going to change." From what I understand, the rent has yet to be paid." Think this is an isolated incedent? Youtube: Obama Is Going To Pay For My Gas And Mortgage!!! |

"The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the
departments in one, and thus to create whatever the form of government,
a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness
to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart is sufficient to
satisfy us of the truth of this position."

| Democracy is just another form of tyranny. Benjamin
Franklin summarized it simply: "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for
lunch." James Madison, often called the father of the Constitution, said, "Democracies have ever
been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or
the rights of properties; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in
their deaths." - Read More... Or, as a friend of mine once said: "To put it even more bluntly, there's another good example of true democracy in action: gang rape ." |

it expects what never was and never will be...

Consider the current crisis. The causes are complex, but the driving force is clearly government intervention:
In the face of this long list, who can say with a straight face that the housing and financial markets were frontiers of "cowboy capitalism"? This sequence was started by Jimmy Carter, promoted during the Clinton Administration with the help of Barak Obama an employee of Acorn back then (who just recieved over 80 million of your childrens dollars by Barack Obama for helping him (illegally) get elected.) I wonder why people blame all this financial caos on Bush? Is this part of the rampant ignorance propagated by the mainstream media? I think so. This is just the latest example of a pattern that has been going on since the rise of capitalism: capitalism is blamed for the ills of government intervention - and then even more government intervention is proposed as the cure? How can anyone support this madness? - Only through ignorance. (IMHO) |

When our enemies like candidate Obama, there must be a
reason... They like him because he will help their cause. Look at these people and organizations up on the internet. It will give you an idea why they like him so much. They have done their homework, have you? You are the ones voting for him (maybe) so your voice is more powerful than theirs. If you want America to become what these people want, then by all means, after reading about them, do for your posterity what you now feel is right. To vote from an ignorant point of view is a shamefull disservice to all Americans, particularly your children. So, do your homework first!
While Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama "has tried to push his origins into the background, his 'Islamic roots' have won him a place in many Arabs' hearts." That's the observation of Iranian-born commentator Amir Taheri, whose column in Tuesday's New York Post notes that many Arabs and other Muslims see Obama as "one of them." They see that Obama has Arabic-Islamic first and middle names: Barack means "blessed" and Hussein means "beautiful." His last name is Swahili, an East African language based on Arabic, Taheri writes. His sister is named Oumah, Arabic for "the community of the faithful;" his daughter Malia bears the name of a daughter of the noted Caliph Othman; and his father and stepfather were both Muslims. Although Taheri did not note it, Obama has not proven his American Citizenship. Obama was raised partially as a Muslim when he lived in Indonesia with his mother and stepfather. While there, he studied at two schools and was registered at both as a Muslim student. As such he received Islamic religious instruction, studied the Koran, and prayed with other students. He did attend mosque, albeit infrequently, with his stepfather. [Do you know what happens if a Muslim renounces his religon and converts to become a Christian? If it were true, the penality is death. Read the papers on the subject. He is still alive. Do you ever wonder that maybe he didn't really convert?] Obama's religious upbringing after Indonesia is somewhat of a mystery until his late 20s. At that point, Obama says he converted to Christianity after meeting the Rev. Jeremiah Wright in Chicago. [And you have heard his philosophy toward America that Osama listened to and praised for many years. Converting to that preachers philosophy is not good for America.] Still, Obama has maintained strong support from American Muslims, including Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam movement. Farrakhan has endorsed Obama and has called him the "messiah." [If you don't know who he is, look it up on the net. Don't vote ignorant.] These factors have made Obama a big hit in the Arab world, where he has received wide praise, including: * The Syrian regime has indicated its preference for Obama. Buthaina Shaaban, an adviser to President Bashar al-Assad, has written: "The change suggested by Obama is essential not only for the U.S. but for the entire human family." [You can find out about these guys on the net. It explains why they like him.] * Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi called Obama "a Muslim" and said: "All the people in the Arab and Muslim world and in Africa applauded this man. They welcome him and prayed for his success," although Qaddafi also expressed criticism of Obama's comments on the future of Jerusalem. [You can find out about these guys on the net. It explains why they like him.] * Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said this year: "We like Mr. Obama and we hope that he will win the election." [You do know who Hamas is, don't you?] * Hezbollah's second in command, Sheik Naim al-Kassim, urged Americans to vote for Obama as a step toward peace with Islam, and pro-Hezbollah columnist Amal Saad-Ghorayeb said there is "no doubt Arabs should welcome an Obama presidency," according to Taheri. [You do know who Hezbollah is, don't you?] * In Saudi Arabia, commentator Hussein Shobokshi wrote that an Obama presidency "would mark an important moral transformation in the superpower and is a healthy indicator of the long-awaited improvement in the international arena." Some columnists also have noted Obama's close ties to several Palestinian radicals, including Columbia University Prof. Rashid Khalidi former communications director for the Palestinian Liberation Organization and another Palestinian political activist, the late Edward Said. [Look up Rashid and the Palestinian Liberation Organization's activities to see why they like Obama so much.] The "Arab street" also favors Obama. Recent surveys found that he is the preferred candidate in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Algeria, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. |

The Democrat media wing (aka National Public Radio) says Congressional approval is lower than Bush's. Seems to me Nancy didn't get that memo. In fact, it seems Nancy is under the impression that the Democrats are running against GWB in 2008, given how much time and energy they spend trashing the guy leaving instead of focusing on the next one coming in. Poor, poor, pitiful Pelosi. Her stick buddy in the Senate has similar delusions. In the same article, the Harry Reid is quoted thusly: "Who would be afraid of him?" Reid, D-Nev., said as many senators looked on. "He's got a 29 percent approval rating." ( A-hem, that's a lot higher than your rating, or Pelosi's! ) What they have to show for their ... Uh ... "leadership in the majority" is a doubling of gas prices, horrendous unemployment numbers, a crumbling economy, a war that has succeeded IN SPITE of their sorry selves doing all they could to make it into a failure, and a bunch of renamed Post Offices? Total failure? I think we know who that label really belongs to. Did she ever compare Bushes stats with Jimmy Carter's? Wasn't he the one that got everyone parroting "Bush is the worst..." when his record looks more like the one by the Democratic Congress under Nancy Pelosi? And, Bushes approval rating is still 50% better than hers, or Reids, or Congress! I am more worried about the travisty that Congress has put on us, and will continue to do than even if Obama gets elected due to all those voting for Ron Paul. (ouch!) AND, if you really think McCain is like GWB, then you wern't listening to him when he was running against GWB for the party nominations a few years back. Where are all these idiots wanting more Democrats in Washington coming from? Or, are they just so incredibly susceptible to hot air? |
