The Birth of a New Verb

By Bill Reid

This is a fast changing world. The younger generation doesn’t even speak the same language as their predecessors because of the influence of an exploding social media.

I believe that when the political history of the current period is analyzed in retrospect and written based on the results and outcomes of the policies of current day politicians, there will be a new method of referencing the collective opinion of those who understand or bother to study some of the dubious political characters of our time. I believe there will be the birth of new verbs that sum up that understanding. In fact, there are already some of these in existence today. For example, the creation of the internet search engine Google. As Google grew into the dominant giant that it is today a new verb was born. It is not uncommon to hear just about anyone say, “Google it”, as they refer to some bit of information that might reside on the Internet. A new verb was born. The same could be said of the treatment of Judge Robert Bork during a Senate Judicial Committee confirmation hearing. After a lengthy hearing that was fraught with unbridled character assassination of Judge Bork by those on the left who disagreed with his judicial philosophy, Judge Bork withdrew his nomination for U. S. Supreme Court Justice, and soon it became popular in political circles to refer to similar attacks on one’s character as being “Borked”.

Today I believe that we are living through an economic period in our history that, while not entirely created by the current President, is certainly being exasperated by his ineptitude, ignorance, stupidity, or radical ideological beliefs. We currently have a President who, by almost any thoughtful account, is totally unqualified for the post to which he, with a tremendous amount of help from his handlers, managed to get elected. He was, and in many ways still is, a political novice, having served in the Illinois State Senate for a few years, then getting elected to the U. S. Senate almost by default before being selected by his political party to run for the Presidency. I don’t know for sure who to blame for the election debacle that put him in office, maybe the left leaning media, maybe an ill informed and ignorant electorate, but just as likely, a corruption of the voting processes by powerful special interests. None the less, we have him as President for the time being, hopefully just for the remainder of one term, and we have to live with the naiveté that permeates the thinking of both the President and those with whom he surrounds himself. There are many others who are complicit in determining the ill advised policies that are being forced upon the American People right now, such as the environmental movement, big labor unions, and many in academia who continue to push failed divisive ideological theories. As best I can determine there is a small but vocal minority of radicals who continue to believe and spread the lies that are constantly being dumped on an economically overwhelmed American Public that has little time to do anything other than try to find a way to survive their current circumstances. Those who produce are busy at work trying to produce their way out of their current miseries, and those who are takers are doing what they do best, taking from the public dole and repeating the lies that have been hammered into them over years of welfare assistance.

This is not to suggest that the President, who may be one of the most unqualified ever elected to the office of President of the United States, does not have qualities and skills that have served him well. He does. In my opinion, his most powerful skill is his ability to present material that is read from a teleprompter with a certain quality of voice and sound of authority that leads those with undecerrning minds to accept whatever he is presenting as fact, and believe every word of it. We now know, however, that there are many of his speeches on record, going back through his career as a public figure, where the positions he espoused, and the promises he made, were nothing more than “hot air” coming out of his mouth. He has proven, since his election, that there really was little that he said in order to get elected, that he has actually followed through with as the office holder who has the power to put those policies into effect. There is scarcely a statement that he has made over his time as President that one can dissect without finding at least some “untruth” or sleight of wording.

I believe that in the not too distant future, verbalization used in descriptions of those who wield the power to “pull the wool over the people’s eyes”, or to otherwise “obfuscate” the real meaning of their statements, will contain some form of the President’s name. For example, if there happens to be someone out there with great oratory skills that has a tendency to stretch, twist, or just outright mangle the truth, that person might be referred to as an “Obamanator”. Another example could be the dissection of a statement that could have more than one meaning as “Obamanese”. An analysis of a speech might lead to it being referred to as an “Obamanation”, and a comment on a live speech might refer to the speaker as “Obamanating”. But the ultimate verbal tag for those whose tendencies are to BS their way through life at the expense of the gullible or less informed would be the label “Obamavore”.

So there you have it. All that has transpired in the process that has given us the worst qualified President, at the worst possible juncture in our nation’s history, along with the revelation of the shallowness of the thinking of he and his minions is very likely going to lead to the birth of a new verb in the American vocabulary, and the “Obama’s” of the world will no longer be able to hide behind their loud mouthed oratory as they attempt to pass off the excrement of their ideology on the unsuspecting masses. Yet in spite of all the damage that is being visited upon America and American’s in general by the lame brained policies of his administration, this President might, in a strange sort of way, be the best thing that could have happened at this time in our history. It Is very possible that this President is the catalyst that was needed to bring about a great awakening of patriotic Americans who are now becoming the early foot soldiers of a new American Revolution, one that will take us back to our roots and provide the strength of conviction, and commitment necessary to remake America into the strong, proud home, and defender of, personal freedom, that it once was, and can be again.

What Is Wrong With the Original Blueprint?


By

Bill Reid

Last night I sat through the third State of the Union Address given by President Barak Obama. It was his “blue print” to “rebuild America”. It was a painful experience.

Almost from the very beginning there were promises of more government programs that will turn our ailing economy around. One after another they came, in quick succession, from proposals for three way government, education and private partnerships to “retrain” hundreds of thousands of unemployed workers for jobs that don’t really exist, to directives to all departments of the government to “cut waste”, to “pie in the sky” dreams of new clean energy technologies that would be funded by taxpayers. Then going through the same tired rhetoric about how the rich should pay their “fair share”, and oil companies had for too long been the beneficiaries of government subsidies that should now be stopped and have that money redirected to support unproven green technologies that will produce more new jobs than we can fill.

There were so many proposals and plans being tossed about that the whole affair became “mind boggling”. At one point I was so overwhelmed with all the “good things” that Barak Obama says are going to come to the rescue of the “American Dream”, that I was afraid to get out of my chair for fear that the dizziness created by all that was swirling around in my head would cause me to lose balance and fall. And it was all about how “the government was going to fix things”.

Then, in the middle of it all he, as a Democrat, compared his vision of the role of government to that of a Republican, Abraham Lincoln, when Lincoln said “The government shouldn’t do anything for the people that the people can do for themselves.” What did he say? I found myself doing a mental double take. Did he really say that? How could he possibly think that Lincoln’s statement was even remotely consistent with anything else that he was spewing out for consumption when everything that he had brought up in his speech was related to government involvement in almost every detail of every American’s life? What a farcical comment! I am quite sure that when President Lincoln make his original comment about his view of what the government’s role should be in the lives of individual Americans, he wasn’t seeking to create a nation of people dependent on the government dole.

When, finally, after 65 minutes of loud oratory, the President ended his so called “state of the union address”, I sat almost dumbfounded, wondering “where is the blue print?” To me there was nothing more than a long series of discombobulated proposals, threats, and some of the same old promises that we have heard now since way back in the campaign of 2008. Then it occurred to me, if America is “broken”, as would be indicated by the assertion that the blue print that I couldn’t see was for the “rebuilding” of America, then why not pull out the “original blueprint” and compare what we have now, after 225 plus years of “adjustments” to the original blueprint, and see if we can determine where some of the intervening generations went wrong with those adjustments.

I think if the President wanted to be completely honest with the American People last night, he should have stood up there and said; Folks, we’ve been wondering around in the wilderness for about 3 or 4 generations now, looking for a magic potion that would take us from a solid well built and thriving America to some utopian dream that we haven’t quite been able to make a reality, and in the process we have “broken” the model that had worked for us so well until about the beginning of the 20th century. So tonight I am proposing that we go back to the “original blueprint” and start all over. I am proposing this drastic change because America is in real trouble, and I have come to the conclusion that “the Founders” must have been a lot smarter and wiser than some of us were lead to believe.

The Federal government was never meant to be the colossal, lumbering giant that it has become. The lessons are there to be seen everywhere one looks. Will someone tell me why our so called leaders can’t see them, and in doing so, come to the conclusion that the “original blueprint” was about as close to perfection as we could ever hope to come?

America – “A Nation of Immigrants” or “A Nation of Dissidents”?

Immigration reform has been one of the hottest political topics facing Americans for most of the first decade of the 21st century. There were two failed attempts to pass “comprehensive immigration reform” during the Bush Administrations and now the current administration doesn’t have the political guts to face the issue of illegal immigration head on and chooses instead to try to circumvent the law through bureaucratic slights of hand.

It appears that the impetus for most of the activity relating to this very important issue is the premise by those on the “left of the political spectrum” that we, as a Nation, should have “compassion” for immigrants since we are “a nation of immigrants”. Since all these “poor” masses who are pouring across our borders illegally are only trying to “better” their lot in life, and since we Americans are only qualified to reap the great bounty of America simply by right of being born in America, then we should extend all of the benefits that come with being a “natural born citizen” of this great nation, to all comers.

Of course there are others who, with motives driven primarily by greed, will support the premise that we are a “nation of immigrants” as well. Big business in general being one of the most obvious, because of cheap labor, but also many middle class homeowners who happen to be the largest single group who take advantages of cheap illegal immigrant labor. So there is plenty of blame to go around if that’s what we need to soothe our national conscious.

There are some questions that are burning a hole in my brain that I think need to be answered if we are to ever come to grips with the immigration issue in America once and for all time. I think I know the answers, but I’ll pose the questions here so that, hopefully, we can all find ourselves on the same page and put all the bickering behind us. Perhaps then we can finally get on with the business of establishing a sensible immigration policy that will protect the values and culture that most Americans appreciate and cherish.

This exercise will require some logical thinking, and further, clear definitions of the terms “Emigrants” as opposed to “Immigrants”. These two entirely different designations, when presented with the “spoken word” in the English language, sound the same, and therein, I believe, lies the basis for some of the disagreement among our citizens.

Please follow along with me here as I lay out the reasoning behind my conclusions.

Question 1 - How should we classify the early settlers of the “New World” and later, the British Colonies, and their offspring?

I think the answer might be that “most” of those who chose to emigrate to the Colonies and/or the continent that was historically referred to as “The New World”, would be “classified” as dissidents. There was no “organized country or government” at the destination they chose, and they were leaving a religious, political, or economic system that, to them, was unacceptable. They were “dissenters” in one way or another, and were willing to take the risks that came with the voyage and unforeseen hardships that they had to know lay ahead of them as they embarked to the “New World”.

Here is the definition of Dissident: disagreeing especially with an established religious or political system, organization, or belief. You can draw your own conclusion.

Question 2 - Were there any Immigrants in the British Colonies before Independence was won from the British?

I think it would be fair to say that, No, there weren’t any, simply because there was no ‘America’ into which anyone could be considered an “Immigrant” since there was no single organized government with an immigration policy. That being the case, those who came to the “New World” or later, to any of the Colonies would probably be considered as fleeing from a system with which they disagreed, so they would then be considered Émigré’s.

Here is the generally accepted definition of an Émigré, or Emigrant: (noun) one who emigrates; (adjective) departing or having departed from a country to settle elsewhere.

America: Transformation and Transition

As the “New World” was gradually transformed over time, from the wilderness that it was in the beginning, into townships, and eventually independent organized colonial governments, there also had to be a transition from being a “place” for an individual to flee to, to a “place” where individuals were invited to settle. I don’t know where one could draw the line and definitely say that it was “on this date” that such a transition was complete. Personally, I don’t think that time has actually come as yet. People from all over the world are still trying to get to America, the “land of opportunity” as they are attempting to escape from some form of oppression in their country of origin.

For the sake of argument however, let’s agree that the transition was probably complete at about the same time that the U. S. Federal Government, in its infancy, began trying to place some controls on “who” was coming to America in 1815. At that time a law was passed that required that the “passenger manifest” of ships be “noted” for the record.

From the earliest record of some form of “immigration” control in 1815 to the present time, there have been many other laws or rules applied to the “immigration policy” of the United States that attempted to restrict both the “quantity” and the “quality” of the “immigrant”.

The generally accepted definition of Immigrant is: a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence.

The Origination of American Ancestry

I doubt that there is a way to truly establish the “real number” of legitimate citizens of the United States considering the latest massive influx of illegal aliens of all nationalities, and the inability of our Federal Bureaucrats to regulate the temporary visas that are regularly abused by many others who are allowed to enter our country legally, then refuse to follow the rules that would have them return to their country of origin. Without this type of information it would be very difficult for any one on either side of the issue of comprehensive immigration reform to speak with certainty as to the percentages of the American population that came to the “new world” or the “British Colonies” prior to the establishment of the United States of America and those who chose to “emigrate” after policies were implemented in an attempt to manage or restrict immigration.

As previously noted, the first instance of known immigration controls didn’t begin until around 1815, and has gone through various “modifications” at times over the next 195 years to bring us to the point at which we wrestle with the issue today. However, it is generally believed that there is pretty much an even split between the descendants of the original settlers and the descendants of those who came through Ellis Island beginning in 1892 and ending at its close in 1954.

It is clear to me that there is a distinction between those whose ancestors were the early “emigrants” coming to the “New World” because they held dissenting views of the political, religious, or economic systems where they were born, and those whose ancestors came much later after a civilization was created and a nation was established. Logic tells me that there could not have been the opportunity that existed for the second group, actual “immigrants” as opposed to “emigrants”, had it not been for the hardships suffered, and actions taken by those earlier settlers, who, along with their descendants, were responsible for the establishment of a “nation” and whose central government then eventually decided to restrict the flow of those who would be allowed to enter the “land of opportunity”.

In the beginning the intention of the new government of the United States of America was to encourage others to come and become a part of America. The process was “unfettered” for quite some time but as the need to manage the quantity and quality of the immigrants allow into the country changed, laws were promulgated and regulations written to implement those laws. But today it shouldn’t really matter how we collected the legal citizenry to this point, only that we need to maintain the integrity of a sane growth process to keep America on a path that will provide the same level of opportunity that has existed in the past for future generations.

Less Rhetoric – More Action

Today, as a top heavy bureaucracy, we find ourselves mired in a collection of “catch 22’s” that has almost every American Citizen searching for any semblance of sanity in our immigration policy.

Shouldn’t we just recognize that much of what is driving the debate is senseless rhetoric and take the necessary steps to impose the controls that will provide for the safety and integrity of the American Culture for the benefit of American Citizens?

Shouldn’t the debate be as to whether or not the “American Dream” or “land of opportunity” can be preserved and remain a viable, vibrant opportunity generator for those who qualify for Legal Citizenship?

Cultural Survival
by
Bill Reid

Occasionally I am moved to publish my thoughts because the message is one that seems impossible to articulate to the targeted audience. This article is one of those and the audience is "young Americans". Young Americans, at this point in my life, are those who fall in the 18 to 45 age group.

As I look back over my 67 years I find that my thinking has evolved from almost total self indulgence to, now, being much more thoughtful and all encompassing in nature. I think the progression of awareness that I am trying to describe here is simply human nature taking it's course, though there are always exceptions to every rule.

When we are young we are caught up in comparisons to others and seem to have less respect for the opinions and observations of others. We generally go about life haphazardly, based on the current whims of society, seeking to satisfy our perceived "needs" and "wants", rather than applying our skills and talents toward the betterment of mankind at large. Ultimately, however, life demands that we begin to, at some point, pay attention to what is going on around us and make a meaningful contribution.

The reason I feel that the message in this article is so important is because I understand all too well how fleeting life is, and how much of it I wasted with my own self indulgence. What I am attempting to do here is sound a warning to all those "young Americans" out there who, whether they realize it or not, are following a similar path and are missing their opportunity to make a difference in the evolution of mankind in this world.

Cultural Preservation

Yes, there is career, and family, and all the other facets of life that must be a part of everyone’s existence. But there is also something much bigger and infinitely more important that is commonly overlooked. And that is the maintenance of our culture.

One of the most important parts of every culture is its dominant religion. As one who subscribes to the Christian faith, I find that most Christians are very tolerant. It is part of our religion. Not all religions teach tolerance. This brings me to the very core of the reason for this article. There is a huge fundamental difference between Christians and Muslims and that difference is tolerance.

I am not a religious scholar and I don't profess to be any kind of expert on religions of any kind. However, I have become keenly aware over the last 20 to 25 years of the effort that is being made by some Muslims, who practice the most intolerant version of Islam, to force their faith and will upon all other people of the world. Not just Christians. All other religions. They are emphatic in their belief that Islam will be the only religion of the world, and they are embarked upon a "holy war" or "Jihad" to make that goal a reality.

I doubt that there is a religion anywhere in the world, and this statement will include atheists and agnostics as well, who do not seek to grow their numbers. Every religion goes about that task in their own way. Most are peaceful and non-threatening. The radical element of Islam does not seek to expand its numbers by peaceful methods. To the contrary, the "radical Jihadists" are working day and night to impose their radical beliefs on all other people in the world by the application of terror as their principle weapon. Destruction of the cultures that harbor the "other" religions of the world will become the ultimate end result of their "holy war".

A War of Terror

The use of terror as a weapon against a perceived enemy is not new. It has existed in one form or another throughout the history of mankind. Why does this most inhumane types of warfare still exist today. The answer is...because it works. Terror intimidates masses of people, millions at a time, with just one horrific event. The more horrific the better. The more unbelievable, the better. The more carnage and destruction, the better.

The Disadvantage of Being Civilized

The problem that Americans are faced with today is twofold. First, we are predominantly a Christian nation that believes in being tolerant and forgiving. Radical Islamists are neither. Secondly, our attempt to "level the playing field" or "bring about equality" in our American Society by codifying and applying moralistic laws has put America at a distinct disadvantage as we go about trying to defend ourselves against the terroristic attacks of those radical elements of Islam or the "Jihadists".

Couple the preceding limitations with yet another fact of life today in America and other freedom loving nations of the West. It is now becoming alarmingly obvious that there has been another "front" in the war being prosecuted by the "Jihadists" that has gone undetected for many years now. The second "front" isn't any less important than the "terror operations" of the main "front", in fact, it might be the more important of the two.

Conversion and radicalization of young Americans and others, including their own children, by indoctrination is likely to have a cumulative effect of both pressure applied by those who are converted upon those they are seeking to convert, as well as an increase of the intimidated population who have yet to be converted. In other words, the loss of the will to resist the "Jihadists" efforts.

There Seems To Be No Hope

I know I am painting a bleak picture of the future. It makes me sad to realize that all we are suffering today around the world and here in America has evolved during my lifetime to this point. I ask myself quite often, "How could this have been happening and I was so unaware of its existence?" Could it be because I was more focused, first on my own self indulgence, then absorbed in the business of providing for my family and other interests that now seem so insignificant by comparison? I think part of the problem was just me not paying attention. Looking back I can see so many things that I might have done to help preserve our way of life, such as being more involved in church activities, youth programs, political activities, and even more time spent in an effort to "home educate" my own children to help them better understand the importance of maintaining our way of life, including the preservation of our "God given rights" and our "Constitutional rights".

There are also other reasons that could be the subjects of complete articles of their own, and some of those are that the main stream media outlets and politicians during that time of my life were working hard to ignore the warning signs. Another issue would be that we, here in America, were at the pinnacle of our military power and there was no need to "fear" these isolated incidents of terror. We could easily overwhelm any enemy. But now it is clear, it is very difficult to engage an enemy that you cannot identify and who has no "national" affiliation.

Global Corporatism

There is also the issue of world economics and the capitalist tendency, which has been both boon and bane to America, to ignore the political ambitions of dictators and tyrants, and now "Jihadists", in favor of capturing more profits and creating global enterprises with little allegiance to any nation or government.

We all know that money is the fundamental driving factor in the development of the civilized world. The judgment of those who subscribe to the philosophy that "money is power" will be clouded by greed. They believe that the more money one has, the more powerful they become. The truth is that the wealthy do live in styles that most common men will never enjoy; however, there is also another truth that seems to elude the wealthy, and that is that they will have no better chance of surviving a massive terror attack than all the others who happen to be within striking range of the event. Having more money will not immunize anyone from the wrath of the "radical Jihadists".

Is There A Solution?

I think the answer is yes. There is hope for the civilized world, but a successful campaign against the "radical Jihadists" will never have a total and final solution. An acceptable resolution of today’s crisis will come at a price, both in terms of life itself, and time and treasure to get the job done. Above all, young Americans must become involved in the struggle to help stem the momentum that is currently in favor of the "radical Islamic Terrorists". The question is, where do they start? The problem has been allowed to develop for many years and will not be stamped out in just a few years, maybe not even in a few decades. The problem can be solved. It will require time. It will require money. It will demand persistence and dedication. It will not be easy and there is no guarantee of success just because Americans are part of a militarily powerful nation.

The Battle Before The Battle

Americans today, especially older Americans, are clearly divided politically. Not so much by parties, but by political philosophies. The two major elements of this political struggle are Liberals and Conservatives. Generally speaking, Liberals tend to believe in the "nanny state", big government taking care of every human need from cradle to grave. And Conservatives tend to believe in smaller government with the personal independence and freedom that is secured with by their own personal responsibility.

In my opinion, before any battle can be waged and won against the "radical Islamists", there needs to be a settlement of differences between the Liberal and Conservative elements of America.

It is clear to me that a total takeover of Liberal policies will soon relegate America to a chaotic state that is beholden to other powers in the world. China is on the rise and could become the dominant power within just a few years if current trends hold and Americans fail to rise to the challenge.
It is also clear to me that policies which produce a pure Conservative state could lead to just as disastrous results. There needs to be a balance of the two for this Republic to survive and currently the trend toward Liberalism is where the momentum lies. Common sense must prevail or America will die by suicide.

A United "Young America" Can Win

Older Americans, like me, will be non-factors in the battle against the "radical Jihadists" to the extent that we don't have the physical energy required for the dedication and persistence that will be required of our populace in the battle. The problem began on our watch and we missed our opportunity to "nip it in the bud" in its infancy. My generation has failed in our duty to maintain the strength of character to do what is necessary to win a "religious war". The enemy understands that this war is "generational". America's leaders and many of its citizens do not grasp the concept of a "generational struggle".

If we are to prevail, young Americans must become aware of the seriousness of the situation, both on the home front with the upswing of "liberalism", and the "war of terror" that surely exists between all civilized nations and the "radical Islamists".

Secondly, they must resolve to take whatever steps are necessary to make life untenable for those who would terrorize and kill innocents in their quest for religious supremacy. That could mean doing some things militarily that seem extreme. It could actually mean "fighting fire with fire".

Finally, our young Americans are waging this new kind of war against the "Islamic Jihadists", they must teach their young that the war will continue beyond their life time and they must "engage" the enemy in any way that they can and do all they can to stop the "Jihadist" movement. Why must we do so? Because the "Jihadists" are well into their indoctrination of their young, teaching them to "kill" non-believers. Promoting terrorism.

Urgency Requires Action

There is no time to waste. The frequency and boldness of the terrorists’ attacks and attempted attacks demand that no time be wasted in mobilizing the American psyche for the battle that is already underway. The attacks of September 11, 2001 should have been the rallying point, but it turned out not to be for many Americans, old and young alike. Unlike the swell of patriotism subsequent to the attack of the Japanese on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the patriotic zeal that was created by the attacks of 9/11 quickly waned and soon it was back to politics and life as usual for many.

I hope this article will strike a spark among our young Americans, who will then take up the fight. Most of us will not be able to participate in the military as a combatant, but all of us have the ability to engage in the process of creating a national resistance to this attempted destruction of America and the American Dream.
One of those ways is to take up the pen or any other method of communication to join the national discussion of this most important issue. Our cultural survival depends on it, so I urge anyone who believes, as I do, that we have to take whatever action we can, to find a way to “engage” in the battle, and do it now.

Obama's "Guarantees"

A few hours ago I happened to catch a short "blurb" on Fox News Channel where the run up to the story showed a portion of an Obama interview with one of the many "left wing" hacks that produce "Obama News" for their audience.  I am not sure if it was Matt Lauer or Bill Moyer, but that doesn't matter.  They are both left wing nuts anyway.

 

The focus of the FNC report was Obama's answer to some softball question about what would happen if the Senate didn't pass the massive health care bill that is currently being debated there.  What struck me about Obama's answer was not the answer itself, but his emphatic, theatrical delivery of the answer.  To paraphrase, he said, "I can GUARANTEE the American People that if this bill does not pass the cost of their health care will go up, they will be dropped from their employers plans, and insurance premiums will be so high that no one can afford to pay for insurance".  With the booming voice and demeanor that was, and still is, present during his many campaign oratories, Obama made crystal clear his "GUARANTEE".

 

Does anyone remember Obama's "guarantee" of transparency in government?   Does anyone remember Obama's "guarantee" of "cleaning up" Washington, D. C.?   No more lobbyists.  No more "politics as usual" for his administration.  No sir!  Not in his Presidency.  His administration would "open to the American People" and "clean".

 

Did he back up those GUARANTEES?  I think the answer to that question is as clear by now as it ever will be.  He never intended to keep those promises.  He's nothing more than a "political hack" for the left wing extremists who have taken over the Democrat Party.  A "mouth" that spews the rhetoric.  Nothing more, nothing less.  I think it would be safe to say that this man is a very convincing BALD FACED LIAR!

 

With the super majority that now exists in the House and Senate, there is little hope that anyone or anything can stand in the way of these outrageous spending bills, the Cap and Trade Bill, global warming "giveaways" to third world countries, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and God only knows what else they will foist upon the backs of working Americans.  Now with the Fed printing money so fast that they are burning up the printing presses, Americans will loose buying power at an unprecidented rate when the "chickens come home to roost".  More dollars for less product.  That's what inflation does.

 

Do  you think another three years of this kind of reckless fiscal behavior will be sustainable?  I don't. And if you agree, then I suggest that you make a decision right now, that you and your family will have to make sacrifices you never dreamed of when it comes to pass and prepare your children and grand children for their loss of liberty and freedom.

 

Alternatively, you can make another decision.  Make whatever sacrifice you have to in order to help stop the Obama Express.  I urge you to visit this link and watch a brief video.  If this video doesn't inspire you to action, then nothing will.  It is time to get involved.  Help save America!

 

 

Another Hypocrite Identified!

Okay.... Let me see if I have this right. 

 

The leftist crowd has been pushing a radical environmental agenda for years under the widely touted assumption that all the ills that we might be suffering from time to time, whether its tied to "global warming" or "global cooling", are caused by the industriousness of human beings.  That is to say, in a little different way, that we humans, as an element of the earths population, are destroying our planet in our attempts to improve and advance civilization. 

 

In a concerted effort that has spanned over 4 decades, these self-righteous, ideological nutcases have been attempting to prove their "theory" by trotting out the opinions of so called "environmental scientists" (only the one's whose opinions support their theory) in a overt and blatant attempt to brainwash as many of our children and young adults in government run schools and left leaning universities as they possibly can.  They have been very successful in cramming their "one sided views" into the minds of the masses who were simply taking them at face value without question.  Of course they must be right, many thought, because they have the "scientific data" to prove their point.

 

Now we have a new development coming to light that raises questions as to their motives and veracity.  Emails from inside the small cluster of "scientists" (please note that I am using that term loosely) who have been at the epicenter of these "global warming theories" that have been made the basis for a massive piece of legislation in the United States (Cap and Tax) and other worldwide environmental initiatives, are being made public (leaked is the leftist terminology).  These emails show that there has, at the very least been an inside effort to "hide" certain data that would be harmful to the environmentalist nutcase' agenda, and beyond that, to poison the well of data that would debunk their theory. 

 

One would think that most "right thinking people", and by that I mean those who employ logic and common sense, will gladly welcome this new information that has come to light on the eve of a great push for legislation that will, by all accounts, literally put the brakes on the American economic engine, as it could lead to a more sensible non-emergency approach to curbing whatever polluting indulgences our industry might have been guilty of since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.  And I believe that most "right thinking people" will react just that way.  But not the leftist nutcase ideologues.

 

No... The leftist nutcase ideologues are having a much different reaction to this "leaked" information and the damage that it will undoubtedly cause to their push for more government control of every aspect of American Freedoms.  Their reaction is currently being "showcased" by one nutcase U. S. Senator Barbara Boxer of California as she calls for an "investigation" into the "criminal acts" of the "leakers".   Doesn't that seem to be a strange position for a U. S. Senator who is sworn to "uphold and defend the constitution" of the United States? 

 

In the context of our political history over the last 40 or so years, Boxer's leftist outcry seems to me to be a little hypocritical.  Perhaps we should think back a few years to a time when Barbara Boxer was likely a very young, still wet behind the ears, leftist nutcase in training in the mid 1970's when the Democrats (whose party was in the process of being hijacked by the left wing nutcases of the day) were ever so gleeful that President Richard Nixon was in the thick of an illegal cover up of the break in of the Democrat Headquarters at the Watergate Hotel.  Wasn't that scandalous event perpetuated by "leaked" information by an informant who was only identified as "Deep Throat"?

 

If anything, Ms. Boxer should be nominated as an all time champion "political gymnast" for this demonstration of back flipping ability.  Otherwise, she and others like her should be awarded their rightful place in American Political History as the back stabbing, power grubbing, special interest hypocrites that they are.

 

Yes... I think I have it right...

Just 5 Minutes

This is a 5 minute presentation that clearly demonstrates the dilema of the current immigration problem. I urge you to take JUST 5 MINUTES to watch, and then if you still don't understand the destructive nature of U. S. Government Immigration Policy and get involved in correcting this massive miscarriage of Federal power, then God help your children and grand children because they will loose the legacy of American Freedoms that could have been passed to them by our generation.
