More Government 'wisdom'?
or, more Harry Reid Treason.

"If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny."
-- Thomas Jefferson


Bill S510: Ultimate Government Control Over What We Eat

On November 30, 2010 the US Senate passed bill S510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, giving more government control over what we eat.

In a vote of 73 - 25 the US Senate passed bill S510 today giving the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) more power to police food. The bill was designed to maintain stricter standards in keeping food safe, but also has a few other things in mind.

The bill also increases funding for the FDA, increases FDA inspections, enhances surveillance systems, ensures to protect the food supply against terrorism, and grants the U.S. government new authority over the public's right to grow, trade and transport any foods.

The new bill gives companies such as Monsanto the power to monopolize US seed, food supplements, food and farming. It puts US food and farms under the Department of Homeland Security. It ends US sovereignty over its own food supply. It would also allow the government to mandate antibiotics, hormones, slaughterhouse waste, pesticides and genetically modified organisms.

"If accepted it would preclude the public's right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one's choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God."
-- Dr. Shiv Chopra

Great compromise by Washington, off the cliff....

"Conservatism and responsible government won a resounding victory in November's elections, and yet just a month later, we're witnessing legislative arrogance on a scale you wouldn't expect if voters had ratified the ruling class' sprint toward national bankruptcy. Can you imagine how it would be acting if it hadn't received a 'shellacking'? It seems that Washington is embracing all the principles and practices the voters soundly rejected, without the slightest indication it either received the message or cares. Are we seeing any evidence of greater transparency, a rejection of earmarks, budgetary restraint or legislative deliberation?" --columnist David Limbaugh

If you are not upset, then you are not paying attention.

"The U.S. military, already strained by wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, faces transformation from the world's most powerful fighting machine into an organization where political correctness is more important than victory. Saturday's Senate vote cleared the final hurdle for the repeal of President Clinton's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy designed to prevent homosexual conduct in the ranks. Battle lines will now form over how the homosexual advocacy policies will be implemented. Though the repudiated lawmakers who rammed the repeal through this weekend's session pretend they are simply latter-day Rosa Parkses seeking to end discrimination, there is no comparison. Since 2005, a mere 1 percent of Army discharges involved homosexual conduct. This issue isn't about retaining or recruiting qualified personnel for the military. This is part of the Left's larger societal goal of using government to force others to embrace unorthodox personal lifestyle choices. The implications are clear from a look at how the federal government treats issues of homosexuality. ... Troops can look forward to so-called pride parades on military bases and awareness days for the transgendered. Everyone knows the sort of thing that might work in Greenwich Village or a San Francisco neighborhood doesn't go over well in a fighting force drawn largely from red state America -- an area whose residents Mr. Obama once derisively referred to as the type who 'cling to guns or religion.' That's why implementing the New Gay Army means forcing soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines to endure 'diversity' training. Those who don't like it will be told to get out, as several senior military leaders have suggested already. Chaplains in particular will face the dilemma that preaching their faith will violate the new pro-homosexual code of conduct. As a result, far more are likely to leave or be thrown out of the military as a result of Mr. Obama's policy than were ever affected by Mr. Clinton's. It's hard to see how that will do anything to strengthen the nation's defenses." --The Washington Times

The so-called Democratic Party will further be known as:

             " The Potrzebie Party "

Seems fitting since they promote socialism, and Obama sure
appealed to the Potrzebie people of this country.  Too bad 
we all got so little for their Potrzebie voting attitudes.

The word is pronounced [poterzbje] in Polish, and is a declined 
form of the noun "potrzeba" (which means "need", or "want").

Potrzebie was popularized by its non-sequitur use as a running 
gag in the early issues of Mad Magazine not long after the comic 
book began in 1952. The definition of 'need' and 'want', which 
seemes perfectly appropriate for the Democrats.

In addition, the thread of the old polish jokes, always told as 
a stereotypical indication of ignorance and stupidity, that ran 
heavy in the 60's also seems to be a fitting hidden meaning as well.

Not sure how many people will get it. But, I think it's appropriate.

Heck, if they want to call Republicans such a hateful and totally
inapplicable word such as Nazis, (German gutter slang meaning to 
nationalize, which fits them better), we could certainly call them 
the much kinder "Potrzebies", with all it's hidden meanings and the 
appropriate alligations and insinuations embedded therein.

Why is Obama promoting the Mosque at/near ground zero?
It is because Obama is still a Muslim.


DOH!

Too easy to figure out people.

According to the teachings of Obama's true faith, anyone converting to Christianity must be put to death. So, I ask, has he really converted to become a Christian? Hardly, he is still alive, isn't he?

Obama is not a Christian, or even an American. Can't be. Not according to the way he has been destroying this country, it's people, and its Constitution. Just like what many Muslims are doing and claiming that their faith tells them it is the right thing for them to do while they commit crimes against our country. They believe so strongly in what will be preached in this mosque, that they have become Kamikaze's on innocent women and children to show proof of their faith in that doctrine.

This Mosque will be an obvious trophy to all those that promote, support, and believe the teachings of what will be preached in that mosque. All around the world, you will not hear America praised for it's tolerance, but at their trophy of success in winning their war against the infidels. I say all those Americans that facilitate it, in any way, are traitors committing treason against their own country. Obama included. Treason is punishable by death.

What kind of fool cannot see this to be so freakin' obvious?

Only those that are paid to comply in the systematic downfall of America with money or favors that are supporting this project. That makes them all guilty of treason as well. Including the governor, the mayor, and any company or union that provides resources to build that mosque. The owner of the property is a true traitor to his neighbors and the whole country if he sells or makes that property available to the enemies of all civilized people.

The definition of appeasement is feeding a crocodile in the hopes it will eat you last. The definition of insanity is doing the same crap over and over hoping eventually you will get a different result eventually. Being PC is insanity. If you don't believe that, then do the PC thing and see if the croc doesn't eats you. The problem is, not just you, but that croc will also eat my children and grandchildren, and that's whay I call being PC a crock, and those enabling this obamanation nothing short of being guilty of treason.

Wake up people, this cannot be allowed if you expect America to ever be the great nation it once was.

Section 9006 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) will amend the Internal Revenue Code to expand the scope of Form 1099. Currently, 1099 forms are used to track and report the miscellaneous income associated with services rendered by independent contractors or self-employed individuals. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, Form 1099s will become a means of reporting to the Internal Revenue Service the purchases of all goods and services by small businesses and self-employed people that exceed $600 during a calendar year. Precious metals such as coins and bullion fall into this category and coin dealers have been among those most rankled by the change. This provision, intended to mine what the IRS deems a vast reservoir of uncollected income tax, was included in the health care legislation ostensibly as a way to pay for it. So every time a member of the public sells more than $600 worth of gold to a dealer, [Diane Piret, industry affairs director for the Industry Council for Tangible Assets, a trade association representing an estimated 5,000 coin and bullion dealers in the U.S.] said, the transaction will have to be reported to the government by the buyer.

Gold does not rise or fall in value very much.  Fact is, an ounce of gold has been able to purchase roughly the same goods for thousands of years.

In contrast, the US dollar is worth less than 1% of its value in 1913 when the blatantly unconstitutional FederalReserve was created.

Therefore, ALL taxes of "capital gains" are FRAUD perpetrated by government, because the claim of "profit" is based upon the "dollar", which decreases in value.

Gold is a good example. In 1933, you could trade a $20 dollar bill for a one ounce gold like the "the $20 gold piece"... duh.  Today, you must trade $1250 dollars to get a one ounce gold coin.  Since one ounce of gold buys roughly the same goods as in 1933, no REAL profit is made by holding gold.  However, since the predators at the FederalReserve constantly and purposely DESTROY the value of the dollar (even though their assigned mission is to assure the value is maintained), they claim you made a profit of $1230 on the one ounce gold coin, and tax you 25% (or so, depending on situation).  This is THEFT... pure, unadulterated THEFT.

They created this FICTIONAL profit by destroying the value of the dollar.  After a given coin (or any item) is sold a few times, they tax more than 100% of the value of the item (10% to 25% each time)...  effectively stealing more than the value of the item itself!

So, How do you like the CHANGE?  Ready for 2 more years of this shit?

The predators-that-be must be arrested, tried and hung for 100 years of treason, crimes against humanity, destruction, racketeering, slavery and endless other obscene crimes.  Wake up humans, wake up!

This quote was translated into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.  It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.  The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America.  Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.  The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool.  It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

"We who live in free market societies believe that growth, prosperity and ultimately human fulfillment, are created from the bottom up, not the government down. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding economic policies and benefitting from their success - only then can societies remain economically alive, dynamic, progressive, and free. Trust the people. This is the one irrefutable lesson of the entire postwar period contradicting the notion that rigid government controls are essential to economic development." --Ronald Reagan

"We live in a Constitutional Republic. The President's job under the Constitution is to enforce the laws made by the elected Congress. His job is not to create new laws and enforce them all by himself. His job is as magistrate under the Constitution, not as Caudillo (military dictator). He is not the law. He is supposed to enforce what Congress decides. The BP behavior is reminiscent of how, immediately after assuming office, Mr. Obama, with no Congressional authority or administrative allowance, simply made a phone call to fire the head of GM. When I called the White House press office to ask under what law or regulation Mr. Obama was acting, I was told he did not need a law. If the government put a lot of money into GM, it could call the shots at GM, I was told. But under what authority, I asked. 'None needed,' was the final answer. ... The same goes for Mr. Obama's demand that BP pay the lost wages of oil and gas workers suspended from work because of the moratorium on Gulf of Mexico underseas drilling. There simply was no legislation allowing this kind of specific demand. Mr. Obama's demand was in the nature of a threat, more than a Constitutional act. ... To create specific enactments and actions without any authority - now Mr. Obama's specialty - is so at odds with the law of the land that it terrifies me. These are not the acts of a teacher on Constitutional law. These are the acts of a big city boss or a third world dictator." - Ben Stein

Obama Administration Seeks Internet Control
Monday, 10 May 2010
By: John Lott

The Obama administration just refuses to take no as an answer to its desire to control the Internet.

Just a month ago, the Federal Appeals Court for the District of Columbia unanimously ruled that the FCC didn't have the power to regulate traffic on the Internet. It seemed pretty clear, but last Thursday FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski announced a new plan: redefine broadband services to be something it can regulate, in this case telephone services.

This is like a kid being told not he has to eat their "green beans" and then claiming that the "cookies" are really "green beans." The Obama administration has very sticky fingers and doesn't seem embarrassed by this power grab. The notion that the government can redefine things to extend its power is pretty scary.

This distinction between telecommunications and broadband is quite clear. Congress made the distinction clear in the 1996 Communications Act.

Nothing in that act gives the FCC authority to decide on its own what is and what is not a telecommunications service. Indeed, the broadband Internet is defined in the act as an unregulated "information service."

Since Congress acted, the FCC under both Democratic and Republican leadership have strongly argued that broadband Internet and telecommunication services are not the same thing and were never meant to be the same.

The Obama administration wants Americans to trust their bureaucrats with this massive new power. But in their ideal world, federal agencies, not Congress, decide what the federal agencies can regulate.

Forget the basics of our Constitution, where there is a balance of power between the three branches of government.

All they need is a "good reason" for these new regulations. Right now their immediate goal is to regulate what prices can be charged for Internet services, so-called "Net neutrality," something which will harm consumers in order to help favored companies such as Google.

But it doesn't take much imagination to see where these regulations can lead. Take the power of the FCC to levy fines for obscene language. Might the FCC want to reclassify cable programming so that it can impose the same fines on HBO and Showtime that it now imposes on over-the-air broadcasts?

Surely, if the federal government can provide a "good reason" to reclassify broadband services as telecommunications, if can come up with a "good reason" to prevent such bad language.

Take the "fairness" doctrine, a rule created during the 1940s requiring that broadcast stations give equal time to both sides of controversial issues.

In 1987, Ronald Reagan got rid of this regulation. To silence right-wing criticism, the Obama administration is already trying to reimpose a version of the fairness doctrine on broadcast stations.

We can imagine how the Obama administration or some future administration might want to use these same powers to regulate - read silence - the information on the Web by extending a fairness doctrine to the Internet.

Neither President Obama nor his political appointees can unilaterally rewrite laws no matter how "good" of a reason that they think they have.

If this change were allowed, it will be a truly major increase in executive branch power. The only thing more worrisome is that President Obama's judicial appointments might let them get away with this.

Words always mean something. Correct usage is important.

First of all, "Nazi" was gutter slang for the verb "to nationalize". The Bider-Mienhoff gang gave themselves this moniker during their early struggles. The official title of the Nazi Party was "The National Socialist Workers Party of Germany". Hitler and the Brownshirts advocated the nationalization of education, health care, transportation, national resources, manufacturing, distribution and law enforcement.

Hitler came to power by turning the working class, unemployed, and academic elite against the conservative republic. After Der Fuhrer's election ceased being a political conspiracy and was transformed into a fashionable social phenomenon, party membership was especially popular with educators, bureaucrats, and the press.

Being a Nazi was "politically correct". They called themselves "The Children of the New Age of World Order" and looked down their noses at everyone else. As Hitler acquired more power, he referred to his critics as "The Dark Forces of Anarchy and Hatred".

Anyone who questioned Nazi high-handedness in the German press was branded a "Conservative Reactionary". Joseph Goebbels, minister of communications, proclaimed a "New World Order".

Sound familiar?   Get the picture yet?

Obama Administration Targets Military for Pay Reductions

President Barack Obama - who came to power with the help of government employee unions across the nation and has lavished on them hundreds of billions in stimulus funds to keep them on federal, state and local payrolls with no strings attached - is moving to cut spending on salaries for military personnel.

The Obama administration is "pleading" with Congress to give military personnel a much smaller increase in pay than lawmakers have proposed.

For example, the military brass claims that an average sergeant in the Army with four years of service and one dependent would receive $52,589 in annual compensation, according to the paper. This figure includes basic pay, housing, and subsistence allowances, as well as tax benefits.

Meanwhile, a U.S. postal letter carrier, with no supervisory nor hazardous duty, makes approximately $80,000 a year when all benefits are factored in.

According to the Defense undersecretary of personnel and readiness, last year was the militarys most successful recruiting year since the establishment of the all-volunteer force in 1973. That might be where many of Obama's job's-gained figures are coming from, for those who seek employment in the military because they can't find a domestic job?

Congressional supporters of the men and women in the Armed Services are questioning why they are being singled out for future pay cutbacks when other government agencies and unions are getting increases. The U.S. Postal Service, for example, is slated to give letter carriers, who make 30% more than our servicemen, an increase of 1.9 percent this coming year.

More lies. Twice in 10 days, this one to The New York Times on April 18, Obama claimed his pledge was to not raise taxes applied only to income taxes. In his April 10 Weekly Radio Address, Obama said: "And one thing we have not done is raise income taxes on families making less than $250,000. That's another promise we've kept."

Uh, people making less than 250k would have an additional 5% tax on everything they buy, reducing their net income, as if the inflation you have created has not cost them enough already, 20% since January 1st. Is he really that stupid, or does he even care? I wonder.

"President Barack Obama's economic team is already calculating government revenues from a possible value added tax (VAT)", according to The New York Times. "In the interest of transparency, Americans for Tax Reform respectfully asks President Obama to immediately release the reported VAT calculations or deny such calculations exist." What respect? What transparency when he has hidden all of his documents and papers. Even Bo, his dog, has valid papers. Obama does not. If he did, why hide them all? His pledge for transparency during his campaign was nothing but a big fat lie. It is obvious he never intended to honor that promise.

Well, It seems that Obama is proving once again what a complete liar he is. He has broken promise after promise, and I personally am getting sick of this userper screwing the people he keeps making promises to. It seems that only their vote to get in, to totally destroy our once great country, was his motive for all the campaign lies. But then this was obvious to anyone that looked at his Chicago/mob roots. His pledge for transparency has been shattered numerous times since taking office, so I don't know why anyone would think this pathological liar would do anything different on this issue of taxes either. Maybe the press is starting to learn that backing him was a horrendous mistake, when they could have exposed him for what many of us already knew what he really was/is, and warned everyone we could, but onto deaf ears.

"One way to reach their 3 percent goal, by the calculations of Mr. Obama's economic team: a 5 percent value-added tax, which would generate enough revenue to simultaneously permit the reduction in corporate tax rates."

It would seem to me that this value added tax (VAT) would be unconstitutional. The Federal Government cannot put a tax on the people unless proportioned. (same dollars/person) Or, to tax a federally controlled activity, of which the buying of goods and services by its citizens, here in this country, in their own state, is NOT one of them.

That's it, Barry, now you propose to tax all the people so you can give favors to big business, something you repeatedly claimed to be against. The Democrats illusion of being for the poor and the working man is hereby shattered for ever. You cannot be trusted. (As though anyone will actually believed anything you ever say any more.)

The man is a traitor to the office in which he gets 3 more years to screw us all even more. I just wish more of the ignorant voters had listened to those of us that did their homework on this liar and thief, instead of just laughing at our research results. For he is stealing our once great country right from under under our noses. How can anyone approve of this mans record in office? To support his actions is either blind stupidity, chosen ignorance, or a desire to destroy America.

Don't anyone ever tell me again that the Democrats or Obama are for the little guy. For I will call you a liar too, because you know better now. What pray tell, will he do to us with almost 3 more years in office? 3 times the current damage?

It is getting really scary.

I once warned: "History has proven that you cannot tax a country into prosperity, only into slavery." I then added: "And, would you believe it took a black man as president to turn us all into slaves."

I told you so..... I just never thought it would get this bad, this fast.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Jon Voigt - April 10th, 2010 Fox News video transcript:

"In one year, the American people are witnessing the greatest lie that is cleverly orchestrated by President Obama and his whole administration. The lie is a potent aggression that feeds the needs of people who either have not educated themselves enough to understand the assault upon us all or the very poor and needy who live to be taken care of.

President Obama feeds these people poison, giving them the idea that they are entitled to take from the wealthier who have lived and worked in a democracy that understands that capitalism is the only truth that keeps a nation healthy and fed. Now the lie goes very deep and President Obama has been cleverly trained in the Alinsky method and it would be very important that every American knows what that method is.

It is a socialistic, Marxist teaching and with it, little by little, he rapes this nation, taking down our defenses, making new language for the Islamic extremists. The world looked up to us as a symbol of hope and prosperity now wonders what will become of the entire world if America is losing its power.

The American people who understand exactly what is taking place have come together in the thousands, vowing to try to stay together as a unit of love and freedom for all men and women, from all walks of life, shivering to think that this once great nation will be a third world country.

This will be the first president to ever weaken the United States of America. President Obama uses his aggression and arrogance for his own agenda, against the will of the American people when he should be using his will and aggression against our enemies.

Every loving American for peace and truth and the security of our nation must come out and join the Tea Parties in their states. The opposition will continue their tactics; they will lie and plant their own bullies amongst us. Everyone must pay close attention to who stands next to them. We can weed out the liars and agitators.

Let us all stay in Gods light. Let no man put asunder. We can and we will prevail. God bless us all!"

The "Alinsky method" that Voigt refers to is the teachings of American community organizer and writer Saul Alinsky (a Chicago Community Organizer, like Obama). In his final book called "Rules for Radicals" Alinsky stated in the opening paragraph:

"What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. 'Rules for Radicals' is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away."

Gee, seems Obama is bound and determined to take America away... DUH!

Obama is single-handily turning the United states from the very best, into an also-ran country. All that work and treasure for decades to secure our safety is in the toilet, swirling down, out of sight.... -jb

"Under the old doctrine, supported by every president of both parties for decades, any aggressor ran the risk of a cataclysmic U.S. nuclear response that would leave the attacking nation a cinder and a memory.

Credible? Doable? No one knows. But the threat was very effective. Under President Obama's new policy, however, if the state that has just attacked us with biological or chemical weapons is 'in compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT),' explained Gates, then 'the U.S. pledges not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against it.' ...

This is quite insane. If a terrorist deliberately uses his car to mow down a hundred people waiting at a bus stop, the decision as to whether he gets (a) hanged or (b) 100 hours of community service hinges entirely on whether his car had passed emissions inspections.

Apart from being morally bizarre, the Obama policy is strategically loopy. Does anyone believe that North Korea or Iran will be more persuaded to abjure nuclear weapons because they could then carry out a biological or chemical attack on the U.S. without fear of nuclear retaliation?" --columnist Charles Krauthammer

1. The Senate version of the health care overhaul permitted federal funding of abortion through its failure to expressly prohibit it.
2. The bill has a $460 billion deficit in the first 10 years, a $1.4 trillion deficit in the second 10 years.
3. The New England Journal of Medicine just released a survey finding that 46% of primary care physicians would consider quitting medicine under this bill.
4. The Internal Revenue Service provision in the bill "dangerously expands, in an ominous way the tentacles of the IRS and its reach into every American family. The IRS now can make sure everyone buys health insurance acceptable to the federal government and collect the fines of up to $2,250 per family or 2% of income if it doesn't. The CBO expects the IRS will need roughly $10 billion over the next 10 years and nearly 17,000 new employees to meet its new responsibilities under socialized medicine. The American people will be faced with fines, even possible imprisonment, if they don't comply with this unique federal mandate. Now an IRS agent will come between you and your doctor. These IRS agents will have the job of enforcing a new and unconstitutional mandate. The Constitution specifically enumerates the powers given to each branch of government and says that any power not mentioned revert to the states and to the people. Nowhere does it say the feds can compel you to buy health insurance.
5. "The first 10 years of implementation, the total cost of ObamaCare reaches $6.25 trillion. That's not a precise estimate. It's just far closer to the truth than President Obama and congressional Democrats want the debate to be." - Cato Institute
   

 Obama is the shepherd I did not want. 
He leadeth me beside the still factories. 
He restoreth my faith in the Republican party. 
He guideth me in the path of unemployment for his party's sake. 
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the bread line, 
I shall fear no hunger, for his bailouts are with me. 
He has anointed my income with taxes, My expenses runneth over. 
Surely, poverty and hard living will follow me all the days of my life, 
And I will live in a mortgaged home forever.

 
I am glad I am American, 
I am glad that I am free. 
But I wish I was a dog, 
And Obama was a tree.
