Obama will do the will of the Democrats and the Rino’s in Congress and anyone who could not have figured that out probably should not have been mentally qualified to vote. He will never take a stand against or veto any agenda that they pass but he will help shape it. The Democratic administration will be as bad and as ugly as Biden, Reed, Polosi, Clinton, Shulmer, Kennedy, Frank, Gore, Jackson and all the other far left socialist insane.

You do not really think that the far left running the Democrats are going to let this opportunity pass and thus risk the loss of this opportunity to change American to their own radical socialistic vision through the elections two years from now? They will pass most of the “bad” in this article before this fall and that is why they want to get off the ground running in January. Then the following year they will use media and their pulpit to brainwash, spin truth, collect funds, and repress free speech in order to keep their Congressional super-majorities for the next two years.

After that it will get truly “ugly” when they take control of the Supreme Court, make illegal immigrants citizens so they can vote, and stack the deck and change laws in favor of Democrats to effectively rig the next Presidential election. After Obama gets reelected to a second term it will get super ugly because half the nation will totally have had it with our Federal government system and they will literally take matters in their own hands.

American Thinker: 3 Scenarios for the Obama Years: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

The real Barack Obama is still unknown, supposedly. One take is that he is a smart guy who will move toward the center and govern moderately and competently. Another take is that he is the most radical person to ever hold the position of President who will take the US on a hard left course into a socialist state lacking any resemblance to the country our founders gave us.

I also have a third scenario, and it is my scariest one: he will do the latter, but make it appear like the former. That is, he will be take the US on a hard left course, but in such a way so as to not scare the Christopher Buckleys and soccer moms of the world too much, too soon.

President Bush, Obama and McCain and most of the Congress and the Senate all sang the Hank Paulson blues to America. The 700 Billion figure was just a figure pulled out of thin air because they did not think they could sell over a trillion dollars to the American people. At first they did not have the votes but then they added $150 billion in pork to buy the votes they needed. Now Paulson is taking the money and doing the exact oppose that he said he was going to do with it. Much of the money was given to a few bank who did not need it but had no choice but to take it. On the one hand they are telling these banks that they forced to take money to tighten up there lending requirements and on the other hand they are saying they need to lend out more money. The 46 Billion loan to AIG is now up to $150 Billion. The Fanny May Freddie Mac bailout is going to cost much more than they ever let on.

There will be hundreds of hands out for the remaining piece of the money pie. Taxpayers will be given the choice to make more money pies or lose their jobs. The bill to the taxpayers in any case will probably exceed two trillions dollars and that will not include the cost of falling government revenues in a recession. Then the government thinks they can finance trillions of dollars in additional debt to world suckers at less than the world inflation rate? More likely the government will be forced to just print additional dollars to pay the debt which will make the dollar crash like a rock bringing the U.S. a much greater financial disaster.

This is what happens when Americans let government morons try to manage things like they actually know what they are doing. If these people had any brains to start with they would not be working for the government. Now Americans will put a President in place who wants the government to manage just about everything ranging from health care, to energy, to climate. It seems to me the American people deserve the Demented Delusional or Dumb Club Award for knowing nothing, being the most gullible people on earth and trusting their own future to these morons running the Federal government.

Hank Paulson, naked emperor (OneNewsNow.com)

The White House says: “We’ll just trust our treasury secretary to implement the program.” President Bush insists “government’s role will be limited and temporary.” Meanwhile, Democratic Rep. Barney Frank is shrugging off the lack of bailout disclosure by both the Federal Reserve and Treasury. But as I reminded readers before this latest bait-and-switch admission, Hank Paulson is not to be trusted. I repeat:

This is the man who proclaimed the subprime crisis “largely contained” in April 2007; “near the bottom” in May 2007; and “largely contained” again in August 2007. This is the man who pledged that he had “no interest in bailing out lenders or property speculators” in October 2007 and couldn’t “think of any situation where the backdrop of the global economy was as healthy as it is today.”

This is the man who patted himself on the back for refusing to “put taxpayer money on the line” to rescue Lehman Brothers on Sept. 15 — and then turned around the next day and engineered the $85 billion taxpayer-funded bailout of AIG. This is the man who vowed he had “no plans to insert money” into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — and then turned around and committed $200 billion in capital and credit lines to those corrupt, bloated, crumbling institutions.

This is the man who declared that “the worst is likely to be behind us” in May 2008.

I do not see how the Federal government can overturn current laws adopted by all the states. So the first act Obama would sign would be unconstitutional. How fitting. Somehow I do not think that if Obama takes the path of tyranny that He will be leading this country very long. America is in for a very rude awaking in a few months. The first act signed by Obama will be unconstitutional and open the door to kill an additional hundred thousand babies. It seems that this will be only the first of many such activities.That makes me wonder if Liberals live in reality they simply do not understand America. They actually thought America was voting in fascism. They will find out differently.

So why was it that most of you Catholics voted for Obama? You say it is because you do not even believe the teachings of your Church? That says wonders about the state of Catholicism among Americans.

Freedom of Choice Act looms, Catholics afraid (OneNewsNow.com)

That statistic was a bit surprising to American Life League (ALL), considering the effort by many of the church’s bishops to sway the flock away from supporting the strong pro-abortion candidate. LifeNews.com says the Freedom of Choice Act, or FOCA, would legalize unlimited abortions nationally and would overturn the current laws adopted by all 50 states designed to reduce abortions. President-elect Obama has stated he would sign the FOCA bill as his first presidential act.

An Obama Victory in 2012 is very likely for the reasons stated in this article. The solution to constitutional abuses by the federal government is also the one stated. States and local governments simply do not have to go along with unconstitutional federal decrees because each State in this Union has sovereignty to decide its own fate. Sure, that means that the federal government will attempt to blackmail and intimidate local governments by cutting off federal funding but States can also withhold taxes to the federal government and secede from the Union if necessary. When that happens federal government will obviously use federal forces and expose themselves to all American patriots as the out of control central government that they will have become. When Heartland America wakes up some States will get victory from federal tyranny.

American Thinker: How Barack Obama Will Ensure His Victory in 2012

The coup de grace Obama will use against rightist opposition is mostly embodied in one word: Amnesty. This, along with some other measures, will both grow the Hispanic voting block and ingratiate Obama to it. This will enable him to create a powerful coalition of blacks, young voters and Hispanics that, along with the older whites he will be able to retain, will constitute an insurmountable electoral force. And this is why amnesty has long been a dream of the Democrats. Even easier than brainwashing new voters (which the media and academia specialize in) is importing them.

But having a water-carrying mainstream media isn’t enough — the left will also try to stifle voices that would report the truth. To this end, they will attempt to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine. And although it may be ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of two years hence, this may not be the case once Obama has the opportunity to appoint two or three justices. Also lying further down the road may be hate-speech laws, which target “hate” about as much as legislation that would destroy talk radio ensures fairness. They already exist in most of the western world and, incredibly, some judges actually view this as precedent. Ruth Bader-Ginsberg, that affirmative-action appointee, said herself that the Internet makes other nations’ court rulings readily available and that we should learn from them. Said she, “[As judges and lawyers] we must look beyond our borders, to the laws and constitutions of other nations.” By the way, some people call this a judicial philosophy. I call it malfeasance and treason.

So this is our probable dystopian reality. Yet we do have some recourse. And here is what I recommend for now.

The Founding Fathers meant for us to be a nation of states, not a nation state; they intended for most power to rest on the state level and for localities to largely shape their own destinies. We must embrace this model with boldness and vigor. Huge swaths of our nation are now in the pocket of the left, but there are yet bastions of light wherein traditionalists can hold sway. In these places, campaign hard and seize control of the local governments. Then, resist any and every unconstitutional mandate.

For whatever you might think it is worth, here is an interview with Ron Paul that gives his views of the election and the world government that he thinks the elite will bring in through every real or made up world crises.

Ron Paul Warns Of Great Shift Toward Global Government Under Obama

Texas Congressman and 2008 presidential candidate Ron Paul has warned that the euphoria surrounding the election of Barack Obama combined with the overwhelming fear of major international crises could facilitate a cataclysmic shift toward a new world order.

“I think it is very dangerous and the first year is going to be the most dangerous year.” Paul stated. “Just think of Bush’s first year, he also had the 9/11 thing that he could use to scare everybody to death. And Obama will use the financial crisis, which will get worse, and there will be more military skirmishes around the world.” Paul asserted.

Commenting on the much touted “International crisis” that luminaries such as Colin Powell, Joe Biden and Zbigniew Brzezinski have all guaranteed will occur within weeks of Obama entering the White House, the Congressman stated that he believes it may be a catalyst for a shift toward world government:

“I think it’s going to be an announcement of a new monetary order, and they’ll probably make it sound very limited, they’re not going to say this is world government, even though it is if you control the world’s money and you control the military, which they do indirectly.”

“A world central bank, worldwide regulation and world control of the whole system, of all the commodities and all the natural resources, what else can you call it other than world government?”

“Obama wouldn’t be there if he didn’t toe the line, and when the meeting starts on November 15th for the new monetary system, this could be the beginning of the end of what’s left of our national sovereignty.” Paul said, also warning that the global media are already hailing Obama as the world’s leader.

With Obama having previously announced that he will shift military attention to Pakistan, the Congressman also warned that the president elect will, thanks to the previous administration, have the necessary precedent to escalate the war on terror:

This well thought out article points out the division that this election will bring no matter who wins. This election is going to bring division in this nation like we have never seen since the Civil War. When elections are rigged by money and media brainwashing or the media plays up lies about stolen elections how can you expect a cordial outcome? If Obama loses there will be riots and stolen election accusations by the race baiters and the media. On the Republican side we already know that the horrendous agenda of the Far Left against the middle class and Christians is going to restart the patriot movement big time. So Obama’ win is not going to bring unity to this nation either.

Something really has to be done about the press coverage of candidates in the U.S. The people running are picked by the media elite in any analysis of the facts. The elections are not fair or democratic. It is getting like Putin’s Russia where his party controls the media and the media control the minds of the people. The media influenced the outcome of this election from the start of the primaries, that is no secret. If somehow McCain should win, the media will be there to incite riots.

American Thinker: Say Goodbye to America

No matter who wins Tuesday America is going to be a different country.

When the sun rises on November 5, regardless of who the president-elect is, a more un-United States than has existed since the Civil War will wake to dispute the results of the disgusting campaign that has mercifully come to an end.

Whoever the losers, they will believe they were cheated, and will point fingers at those they believe responsible. Almost half the nation will view the winner as illegitimate, and will do everything in their power to undermine his authority as long as he’s in the White House.

With this animosity will come a new level of hatred between those of differing political persuasions like nothing our country has experienced in the modern era.

Putting it bluntly, and without sounding too much like Rev. Jeremiah “G-d Damn America” Wright, there will be no such thing as Americans anymore.

Instead, there’ll be Democrats and Republicans, Liberals and Conservatives, and encounters between the members of these groups will for years nay decades be at best unfriendly, and at worst quite hostile if not downright violent.

Patrice Lewis compares the people of America with dogs. Many will soon carry their dog license wherever they go and will be leashed by their masters of the universe. Americans can obey the master’s commands and sit, stay, roll over, and beg or we can bite the hand that feeds us. Your choice. Good article, you need to read the rest.

It is amazing the percentage of people who’s ancestors came out of slavery that will eagerly vote to become slaves of the state for a monthly biscuit. Yes, the dog days of America are upon us.

Sit. Stay. Roll over. Beg

“To a man, the greatest blessing is individual liberty. To a dog, it is the last word in despair.” – William Lyon Phelps (1865-1943)

I honestly don’t hold a lot of hope in this upcoming presidential election. I have a sinking feeling that Obama is going to win. Perhaps not by the landslide he hopes, but a miss is as good as a mile (as they say), so we’re faced with the prospect of “change” being forced on us in the next four years whether we like it or not.

How could this happen? How did America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, get to this point? It’s because we have become dogs. We sit on command. We stay. We roll over. We beg. Oh boy do we beg.

Obama’s platform – and yes, to a lesser extent McCain’s – is based in socialism, pure and simple. Our wealth will be spread around, our housing and medical care will be taken out of the private sector and nationalized, thus becoming (ahem) “free.” Our right to bear arms will be severely infringed, and in all other respects our constitutionally guaranteed American rights will go to hell in a handbasket.

Throughout history, people have spent lifetimes trying to break free from the chains of bondage. Here in the U.S., for the first time in the course of human events, our Founding Fathers achieved that concept – first through the Declaration of Independence, later supplemented with the 13th Amendment. And now, 232 years later, we are happily and voluntarily fettering ourselves with chains much thicker, heavier and oppressive than England ever imposed upon us in the height of King George’s insanity.

All because we’ve become dogs. We roll over in submission for someone to scratch our bellies. We cower when we’re smacked with a newspaper. We beg for treats. Our world implodes when our masters are angry with us.

This tape and all the positions and associations Obama has taken in the past makes it very clear that he is a radical socialist that thinks there should be forced redistribution of wealth by government. If you elect this socialist and put the Democrats in power you will see that they will attempt to bring in socialism through all branches of government and unlike the Warren court when they get a couple of liberal judges appointed they will redefine the Constitution to say anything they want.

That is why no one is kidding when they tell you how dangerous to American it will be to allow the far left to gain control of our government. Obviously Obama is not going to lay all his Marxist cards out on the table when running for President but if you examine his past it all becomes clear. Obama’s 2001 interview reveals radical socialistic views and no wonder here is an article about why Obama stands for our enemies. So why would sane American people even consider voting for him?

Obama, in 2001 Interview, Lamented Failure of Civil Rights Movement to Redistribute Wealth - FOXNews.com Elections

A 7-year-old radio interview in which Barack Obama discussed the failure of the Supreme Court to rule on redistributing wealth in its Civil Rights rulings has given fresh ammunition to critics who say the Democratic presidential candidate has a socialist agenda.

The interview — conducted by Chicago Public Radio in 2001, while Obama was an Illinois state senator and a law professor at the University of Chicago — delves into whether the civil rights movement should have gone further than it did, so that when “dispossessed peoples” appealed to the high court on the right to sit at the lunch counter, they should have also appealed for the right to have someone else pay for the meal.

In the interview, Obama said the civil rights movement was victorious in some regards, but failed to create a “redistributive change” in its appeals to the Supreme Court, led at the time by Chief Justice Earl Warren. He suggested that such change should occur at the state legislature level, since the courts did not interpret the U.S. Constitution to permit such change.

“The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of basic issues of political and economic justice in this society, and to that extent as radical as people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical,” Obama said in the interview, a recording of which surfaced on the Internet over the weekend.

“It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as it has been interpreted.

“And the Warren court interpreted it generally in the same way — that the Constitution is a document of negative liberties, says what the states can’t do to you, says what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf, and that hasn’t shifted.

“And I think one of the tragedies of the civil rights movement was that the civil rights movement became so court-focused, I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and organizing activities on the ground that are able to bring about the coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change, and in some ways we still suffer from that,” Obama said.

It is not like forefathers did not warn that we would lose the nation if we turned from God and His ways. Now the God for many in America is an idol. He is a false prophet, a puppet creation of the God hating, American hating Far Left. His only achievements were handed to him and his only skill is reading words from a teleprompter. We will reap the consequences if America votes for their American idol. Like another great man said “a nation will get a leader it deserves” We are seeing that being played out during every election.

The big picture: Loss of a republic?

At the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, it’s reported that a lady approached the venerable Benjamin Franklin and asked, “Well, Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?”

And the grand old man responded gravely, “A republic – if you can keep it.”

You may have heard that quote before, but have you asked yourself just what Ben Franklin was getting at? Well, the long, tiresome and often contentious convention had almost ended with nothing, with members going back to their home states angry and bitter. In the midst of apparent breakdown and failure, it was Franklin himself who stood up and proposed that starting the next morning, the convention should open with prayer and a sermon, because it was obvious that their momentous objective could not be achieved without the direct intervention of God, the One all the attendees credited with their very existence.

And starting from the very next day, after the morning prayers and sermons, the Constitution was brought to final form and agreed to. It was unlike any document in history, purporting to guarantee every citizen equality, possibility, security and liberty. There would be no monarch, no despot, no ruling cabal; no segment of American society would be able to impose its will unchecked. The freedom to worship, to speak freely, to dissent or to promote would be available to all; the elected would govern with the consent of the governed. And this whole mighty enterprise would be held together by respect for, and obedience to, law – law based on the Constitution itself and managed by the collective will of the people.
The word for that fabulous concept is “republic.”

But Franklin had a sober regard for how fragile the concept could be. He said himself, “Only a moral and virtuous people are capable of freedom; the more corrupt and vicious a society becomes, the more it has need of masters.”

His dear friend and compatriot John Adams concurred. “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and a religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

Virtually all our Founding Fathers realized that the whole idea of liberty hinged on the personal morality and responsibility of all citizens, that devious and unscrupulous men could find ways to use freedoms for their own selfish purposes and undermine the concept of republic, eventually corrupting and destroying it.

George Washington had declared, “Religion and morality are the twin pillars of freedom.”

Not many years later, President Thomas Jefferson warned: “The Constitution is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.” He came to regard judicial over-reach that way in his second term; even before then, he said: “God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.”

Do you see what these men were getting at? Do you understand why Ben Franklin said, “A republic – if you can keep it”? They realized they were staking the whole future of this magnificent experiment on the supposition that Americans would demand, of themselves and their government, a continued reliance on the guidance of Bible-rooted principles and the very hand of God Himself. If the populace and their representatives forsook those specific guidelines, the structure would crumble and the house would fall.

Well, look around. If you haven’t noticed, the structure isn’t just crumbling – it’s being hacked to pieces, right before our eyes.

It would be pretty moronic to run for President if you know you are not qualified because when the truth comes out, as it will, you would be removed from office and even jailed. So what is Obama really hiding? Why would he go to the time and expensive of blocking these lawsuits instead of just releasing a certified copy of his birth certificate? Any reasonable person would. Hal is correct that any citizen of the U.S. should be able to question if a candidate is actually qualified according to the Constitution. So why the resistance by Obama? There is not that much information other than the place and date of birth on a birth certificate but it also does list who the parents are if known. That might be the key.

What’s Obama hiding from us? by Hal Lindsey

Still, why in the world would it be necessary for somebody to have to file a LAWSUIT to compel Obama to produce a birth certificate? What is the big deal about providing what millions of us provide on demand whenever the government asks for it? It’s only a birth certificate. You should be proud of it. It says you are a natural-born citizen of the greatest country the world has ever known.

So, why would Barack Obama file a motion to block discovery on the lawsuit filed by Philip Berg, when all Berg is trying to “discover” is whether or not the candidate running for the presidency is qualified to either run or serve?

Obama’s campaign has tied up Berg’s lawsuit in knots, so Steve Marquis filed the second lawsuit aimed at – this seems odd to even have to say out loud – getting a presidential candidate to produce his birth certificate.

Forget all the legal mumbo-jumbo. It’s a birth certificate. He’s running for president of the United States! Didn’t anybody check?

In both cases, Obama is challenging the standing of those who filed the lawsuits – in essence saying he believes it is none of their business.

But, not to belabor the point, Obama is running for president of the United States. Every U.S. citizen has “standing” when it comes to ensuring they are voting for a qualified candidate.

Both Berg and Marquis are asking only that Obama provide them with evidence of his qualifications for president in the form of certified birth documents.

All Obama has to do to make it all go away – especially this close to the election – is let the Hawaii registrar of birth records release one certified copy to be examined by a neutral party. That’s all. But he won’t. It’s baffling.

I mean, what can there be to hide?

Perhaps you do not know what would occur here if Martial Law is Declared. The executive orders are already in place. All the President needs is a good reason to carry them out. A economic collapse or attacks with WMD could bring them about any time. As your read this list of executive orders you might realize just how soon the the U.S. could be a dictatorial police state. One day you will wake up and everything you knew will be changed and government will be running everything including your own life.

What To Expect When Martial Law Is Declared

What To Expect When Martial Law Is Declared
Coming Soon To A Neighborhood Near You After The World-Wide Economic Collapseby Timothy K. Perry
(Libertarian)
Sunday, October 12, 2008

After the coming economic financial collapse, a state of world-wide martial law will be declared. Considering the current events which are in direct alignment with documented plans for totalitarian one-world government, (white paper plans published by the Tri-Lateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, and Club of Rome), martial law will be imposed without official dissent upon the various countries of the world. Martial law is military rule imposed upon civilian populations in a time of war or during a (sic) “State of Emergency”. The following elements can be expected to occur once the t.v. news anchors tell people not to panic, but that a State of Emergency has been declared due to the crash, and a (sic) temporary state of martial law has been declared, which will be rescinded once the State of Emergency has passed.

What the news people won’t tell you is that given the history of martial law, the suspension of such a draconian state is far more difficult to achieve than its original imposition. Esteemed reader, ask yourself the question, why dictator or group of dictators ever voluntarily relinquished their dictatorial powers? I’m searching really hard through the history files of the world to find out the handful of amazing people who did so. So far, all I can find is George Washington who declined being elected “King”.

Whenever the “Powers That Be” decide to impose martial law, the following items can be expected:

The article below is a very thought provoking article. No rational nation should willfully take this risk and put itself in this position. Be it Hitler, Mao or Chavez the socialists often first get in power through a popular election. After that they change the nation to conform to their own image. Do you really think Obama will not attempt to do that? If so you are naive. He will have the Congress in his pocket and he will appoint to the Supreme Court only those that believe in a living Constitution. That means the end of the America that your forefathers set up.

Why is Obama now in this position? Ask Oprah? Ask the CFR. They think they are “spiritually” enlightened gifts to the world that will bring the world to correct single mindedness through socialist team concepts, group think, and peer pressure (facilitated brainwashing). If you do not go along you will be ostracized or even persecuted.

When Obama talks about more government regulation he is not at all kidding, he is dead serious. He will want to control everything and even at the local level he will set up neighborhood groups to establish control. Obama was created by, promoted by and is a puppet of extreme Far Left radical globalists. Their worldview is certainly not the worldview of most America’s.

If you think government does not listen to the people now just wait until Obama, Reed and Pelosi and a liberal Supreme Court control everything from how much energy you can use, to what you can say in public, to guns.

The article quoted below ought to wake the living dead but we all know that they only read the Left controlled press. This further article about the crime of the century should make it abundantly clear that you do not want liberals to gain control over all government. However, I believe they will because Americans simply are not getting it. If that is not enough to get you thinking you might read this article about Obama being a facilitator and not a executive. Just want do you think he will facilitate? He will facilitate group think and he will do it right out of the world socialist playbook. He will use global warming, economic crises, foreign wars and who knows what else to make you fear enough to give up all to government. If you are still not convinced you might read this article Obama’s henchmen and the rise of commufascism.

So you still do not believe all that is said about Obama, would you believe from the Obama’s mouth?

Maybe McCain is not that much better but at least he will be some kind of a check on the Far Left. If Obama is elected the radicals take over America until the next American revolution.

American Thinker: What If Obama Doesn’t Have America’s Best Interests at Heart?

I have known many “players” in my life, notably in big corporations, who might have easily written, as Obama has, that they “serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.” All of them turned out to be the ones who truly did have malicious intent. They were the ones who were survival-of-the-fittest professionals, ready to adapt to any circumstance and say whatever had to be said in order to win the game. They were the ones who built careers on the backs of people of more substance but less savvy, people who were either forced or were willing to lie face-down and be walked on. They were the ones whose artful dishonesty came with eloquence and a smile, concealing designs that were, in the end, hardly conceivable as virtuous. Often — very often — they were completely unqualified to lead. Always they found majorities who loved them.

The reaction to Obama by the people of America is disturbing, to say the least. I have not seen anything quite like it in America. Ronald Reagan, for example, was also very popular, but his name evoked enthusiasm and, at his death, reverence. But never the sort of idolatry inspired by Obama. Even Obama’s detractors do not seem to loathe him, at least not in the way that they have loathed the Clintons or Gore or Kerry. I have heard more than one Republican say, “Well, if I have to put up with him for four or more years, at least he’s tolerable.” Obama’s mass appeal is uncommon and frightening.

So, I am now imagining a very real scenario — similar to what I have seen on a smaller scale in the corporate world — about to be played out on a national, and possibly global, level. Our country seems to be ready to put into the seat of power a man — good-looking, charismatic, silver-tongued, to be sure — who has almost no experience, has never served in an executive capacity, has barely held a real job, and has no record of success other than his remarkable campaign.

This is a man who in less than two years has arisen as a political messiah. He has mesmerized an emergent block of college-age voters (whose chief sources of information, by the way, are comedians). He has inspired “Obama youth” corps and Maoist-style choirs of praise. He has been dubbed “the One” by his Matrix-saturated worshippers. He has captured the hearts and minds of half of America, nearly all of the media, and most of the world itself.

If Obama is just another bumbling Democrat, who, armed with a lot of really bad policies, simply wants to do America proud, well, then, if elected, he will muddle through the next four to eight years trying to implement change, will be hindered by the American political system, will enervate liberals and thus energize conservatives, and, eventually, the tide will turn. Like the aftermath of a very disagreeable season, we will have weathered the storm, will survey the damage, and will send in the rescue teams to rebuild.

But then again: What if Obama doesn’t have America’s best interest at heart? What if his candidacy has to do with the willful and radical recreation of the country, one that embraces Marxist ideals, i.e., socialism in some form or another? What if the “change we can believe in” — the central theme of his campaign — is directed subversion of the Republic in favor of the sort of Utopian, collectivist state that radicals like Bill Ayers have been dreaming of since the Sixties?

Who needs revolution when one can use evolution? If Congress turns decidedly left, Obama will have a good chance to help the Supreme Court do the same. At that point, the Left’s idea of a “living” Constitution, which allows interpretation to supplant the process of amendment, will be used to make us all believers.

Did you know the $700 billion bail out bill was really about $850 billion after all the pork was added? That is how they changed votes. They bribed each vote with pork. We are seeing today how good the bailout did, as of this writing the stock market is down about 10 percent since the great rescue bill was signed a few days ago. Guess what? Our champions of fiscal responsibility running for President signed the bill with $112 billion of pork added. In the last debate they were arguing about saving some of the $16 billion in earmark spending. However, they just signed a bill that contained $112 Billion in pork in one shot and our dumb president signed it without even reading it. Someone might think that they all need to take some Zanax or were being blackmailed. Who knows, those who hold our dollars like China and the oil rich states may have given them an ultimatum. Pass the bail-out bill or the dollar goes down the toilet. That’s about the only thing that explains the panic.

If McCain or Obama still have the gall to lie in our face about cutting pork everyone should turn off their TV’s or walk out of there rallies. Why enable liars? What good will it be to try to save me a pork chop in the future when you just proved to America that you will vote for a huge pork feast.

Believe me, the bail-outs are not over. The FDIC will now need $200 billion to bail out the failing banks, State governments will need bailing out, Unemployment insurance will need bailing out and many more taxpayer bailouts will come in the future. Tax revenues will also fall and taxes are likely to be cut to stimulate the economy. By the time we get through this crises (if we do) we could easily be $15 trillion in debt. Those nations who are bailing us out now with low interest rate loans are not likely to do so after this crises is past for the world. But we will still have $15 trillion of debt to service at a interest rate given to a nation that spends way beyond its means. Think about what that means to this nation in the future.

The bail-a-holics

The truth is most lawmakers voted to pass the bill but don’t have a clue what is in this 500-plus page legislation, which was birthed in the White House just two weeks ago as an infant of only three pages. It was then voted down at the Capitol a week later in its adolescent-sized 100 pages. And of course, in good bureaucratic fashion, it passed mature criteria when it was more than five times the size and packed with governmental goodies. And the president signed it just an hour after receiving it from Capitol Hill on Friday – I guess that speed reading course paid off.

In the fine print, inserted between the lines of that 500-plus page bill, are loads of fiscal additives and more financial toxic relief. Yes, the rumors are true. H.R. 1424 – Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which has now been signed into law, officially includes more than $112 billion in political hors d’oeuvres and pork barrel additives that have absolutely no direct relation to the Wall Street bailout. Among them are:

* $6 million in tax breaks for wooden arrow manufacturers in Oregon;
* $148 million in tax breaks for wool-producing companies,
* $128 million in tax breaks for the manufacturers of car racing tracks;
* $10 million in tax breaks to small television and film producers;
* $223 million in tax breaks for Alaskan fisherman;
* $33 million for corporations operating in American Samoa;
* $192 million in tax breaks for rum producers in the Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

What the &^%$#@?! And that’s just a drop in the bailout bucket. And We the Taxpayers are just supposed to sit back and take it in the arrears?

All is not lost, yet. We still have a voice in this bailout – it’s in the ballot box in November’s elections. The remedy for our country is clear: Congress doesn’t need another bailout, but a roundhouse kick right out the door. I plead with you to join me and millions of others in a voter revolution – to oust political and congressional corruption and stalemate. If representatives from your state and districts voted to pass this bailout bill and gamble nearly $1 trillion of our children’s and grandchildren’s taxpaying money, in addition to showing the reckless fiscal behavior of stuffing such a bill with perks and pork, you must not re-elect any such wayward incumbent.

A Frontpage Interview with co-author Brian Anderson on the new book “A Manifesto for Media Freedom”. Brian Anderson tells us how the prospect of an Obama presidency and a Democratic Congress threaten all conservative media.

FrontPage Magazine

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Brian Anderson, author of South Park Conservatives, Democratic Capitalism and its Discontents, and co-author with the Progress and Freedom Foundation’s Adam Thierer of the new book, A Manifesto for Media Freedom.

FP: What inspired you to write this book?

Anderson: A sense of growing concern that the Left—with some help from a handful of Republicans—is keen on shushing right-of-center political speech. America in 2008 enjoys a remarkable, historically unprecedented abundance of new and old media outlets for obtaining news, information, and entertainment—something we celebrate as “the media cornucopia.” Think about it: newspapers (still) and magazines (more in existence than ever before); radio and television both broadcast and cable and satellite; DVDs; and of course the wild, dazzling, endlessly mutating Internet. As I argued in an earlier book, South Park Conservatives, this cornucopia has allowed viewpoints long downplayed or excluded in the mainstream, including conservative and libertarian ideas, to get a much wider public hearing, especially via political talk radio and the blogosphere.

Many people—incumbent politicians in general, but above all the political Left—hate this profusion and are keen to contain it, pare it back, get rid of it. Our book documents the most dangerous regulatory measures being brewed up in Washington, or already in place, to do this: a new Fairness Doctrine, or regulatory analogue; “network neutrality”; and the extension of campaign finance restrictions to cover media. The book tries to alert Americans to a danger to their political liberties and explain, in a clear a way as possible, the way complex media regulations work in practice in ways that have profound political implications.

FP: Overall, what do you think is new and fresh about your book and what do you hope it will achieve?

Anderson: I think our book is the first to explain, in as clear and systematic a way as possible, the extent of the threat to political speech being cooked up in Washington as we do this interview—and with the prospect of an Obama presidency and a Democratic Congress, the time is now to understand what’s at stake and fight back. It is also encourages conservatives to embrace media freedom rather than pursue their own regulatory crusades on things like cleaning up cable television. The Right has benefited hugely from the proliferation of outlets and media in recent years and should recognize that fact.

Joe Farah gives a book review in this article on “Black Belt Patriotism: How to Reawaken America”, by Chuck Norris. It sounds like a greatly needed and timely book by a very astute Christian champion. I hope many will read it, get educated and join the cultural revolution to reawaken America. Then in 2012 maybe we need to put an American patriot like Chuck Norris in the White House instead of the usual politician.

I’m with Chuck Norris

Don’t even think for a moment you won’t learn anything in a book by “an actor” or a “martial arts master.”

He sets out with a clear vision of the problems besetting us:

* Americans have forgotten their heritage, their history, the uniqueness of the founding documents that set the country apart;

* Americans have lost their sense of fiscal responsibility, resulting in mountains of debt – both public and private; (What a timely lesson this is!)

* Americans have permitted their borders to get out of control, allowed their elected officials to get away with non-enforcement of immigration laws, and tolerated a breakdown in national sovereignty that is leading to “the possible creation of a North American Union”;

* Americans have lost their moral compass;

* Americans no longer believe in the sanctity of human life;

* Americans are robbing their children of their innocence and their futures;

* Americans have participated in the destruction of the family;

* Americans are getting fat and lazy.

Chuck Norris also recognizes the solutions to these problems and restoration of America’s greatness will not come in the political arena alone – not by a long shot. It won’t come because we elect the right politician to be president. It won’t even come by electing a good Congress.

He sees a long battle ahead – a cultural revolution.
