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. 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.

This accusation is being made by a governor of a soverign U.S. state. It is not being made by some obscure figure. Just think of what Obama’s people will do if he ever gets into the Presidency. If you think it will not happen you do not understand the fascist Far Left that is once again taking control of many nations of the world including ours. If you think you can get the Far Left out of power once they control everything you are very naive. We know the Left media will not report this but where is the Attorney General of the U.S. ?

State of Missouri-Governor’s Press Announcements - 2008

JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.

“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.

Full statement of Governor Blunt of Missouri

I think Ann Coulter, Pat Buchanan and Harry Lamb wrote a couple of good articles that might tell you a few things about the root cause of the day of reckoning that is upon America and how it will also bring the next day of reckoning due to our massive deficit spending. I am not saying there were not other factors. This day would have come anyway due to the greed of many and the socialism of others but what Coulter, Buchanan and Lamb write about is a good part of the reason why this economic shock is now playing out before your very eyes.

They Gave Your Mortgage to a Less Qualified Minority, by Ann Coulter

Here are a few points in the article by Ann Coulter:

Under Clinton, the entire federal government put massive pressure on banks to grant more mortgages to the poor and minorities. Clinton’s secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Andrew Cuomo, investigated Fannie Mae for racial discrimination and proposed that 50 percent of Fannie Mae’s and Freddie Mac’s portfolio be made up of loans to low- to moderate-income borrowers by the year 2001.

Instead of looking at “outdated criteria,” such as the mortgage applicant’s credit history and ability to make a down payment, banks were encouraged to consider nontraditional measures of credit-worthiness, such as having a good jump shot or having a missing child named “Caylee.”

Threatening lawsuits, Clinton’s Federal Reserve demanded that banks treat welfare payments and unemployment benefits as valid income sources to qualify for a mortgage. That isn’t a joke — it’s a fact.

In 1999, liberals were bragging about extending affirmative action to the financial sector. Los Angeles Times reporter Ron Brownstein hailed the Clinton administration’s affirmative action lending policies as one of the “hidden success stories” of the Clinton administration, saying that “black and Latino homeownership has surged to the highest level ever recorded.”

Meanwhile, economists were screaming from the rooftops that the Democrats were forcing mortgage lenders to issue loans that would fail the moment the housing market slowed and deadbeat borrowers couldn’t get out of their loans by selling their houses.

Now, at a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars, middle-class taxpayers are going to be forced to bail out the Democrats’ two most important constituent groups: rich Wall Street bankers and welfare recipients.

Political correctness had already ruined education, sports, science and entertainment. But it took a Democratic president with a Democratic congress for political correctness to wreck the financial industry.

So it was not all about greedy lenders it is about Democratic Party socialist liberals pushing affirmative action lending plans and regulations that forced the lenders to make them lend to the unqualified.

Day of Reckoning, by Pat Buchanan

Here is a bit of what Pat Buchanan has to say on this issue and some of it is the same except Pat blames the liberal in both parties:

Had there not been a steady and constant infusion of easy money and credit into the U.S. economy by the Fed, for years on end, a housing bubble of the magnitude of the one that has just exploded could never have been created.

Had the politicians of both parties not coerced and pressured banks, S&Ls, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to make all those sub-prime mortgages, then to tie this rotten paper to good paper, convert it into securities and sell to banks all over the world, there would have been no global financial crisis.

Had they seen this coming and acted sooner, the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury would not today, like Henny Penny, be crying, “The sky is falling!” and the end times are at hand, unless we give them 5 percent of our gross domestic product to buy up suspect securities backed by sub-prime mortgages.

Looking at all the money being ladled out by the U.S. government to prevent a collapse, and the diminished revenue coming in, it is hard to see how America avoids future deficits that reach $1 trillion a year. These will imperil both the dollar itself and the ability of the United States, which saves nothing, to borrow from the rest of the world. The downsizing of America is at hand.

Yes, indeed, we have arrived at the Day of Reckoning for Uncle Sam.

Soviet-Style collapse in America’s future article by Harry Lamb

The meltdown in the financial markets has caused the finger of blame to spin like a weathervane in a hurricane. The underlying cause of the debacle, however, has been largely ignored. Driven by “progressive” Democrats and Republicans, the cause is the relentless shift from a free market economy to a socialist economy.

The piper must be paid. The question is whether to do it now – and let the chips fall where they may, or, to kick the can down the road and pay the piper later. The answer, of course, is to kick the can into the next generation, with another leap toward socialism. The bailout plan – whatever the particulars – is nothing short of a government takeover of the financial industry. The next president will have to sort it out and build the road toward future recovery or final disaster.

Barack Obama’s incessant drumbeat about the failure of the economic policies of the last eight years is either gross ignorance or, more likely, political blame shifting. The cause of the current meltdown is clearly the Democrat’s insistence upon giving federally guaranteed mortgages to people who could not afford them. Even now, Democrats insist, not on the minimum government involvement possible, but on adding all sorts of give-away ornaments on the bailout Christmas tree. Obama is also promising to take over the energy industry, the health industry, and to give tax credits and even refunds to some people with money he shamelessly takes from others. This is redistribution of wealth – pure socialism.

McCain may be only marginally better, but any deterrent to the Democrats’ determined transformation of America to unabashed socialism should be welcomed. Despite the U.N.’s declaration to the contrary, no person has a “right” to housing. If Democrats prevail and continue their pursuit of the U.N’.s goal of universal socialism, America can expect to experience the same total collapse experienced by the Soviet Union.

I said in a prior post that future budget deficits were going to go way up and It matters not who becomes President, the deficits will happen as sure as night follows day and if foreigners ever stop buying our debt this present crises will be nothing compared to the time when we can no longer sell our debt to the world. In the future we will have to do the bidding of the lenders (China & Oil rich nations) or face complete economic collapse.

“We The People” think you should monitor your lying mass media mouth.

By don Koenig

I do not know about you but I feel the new energy ads on TV are very offensive and totally un-American. They are saying that “We The People” are no longer asking but “demanding” that government go to very expensive and destructive all renewable energy sources like windmills in ten years. How dare they presume to speak for what “We the People” of America demand just because they have the money to buy mass media prime air time!

They are saying that We The People are demanding energy and environmental policies that only the environmentally naive, only those already brainwashed and only the brain dead could possibly believe. Those pushing this deception are those with vested interests using what they know are deceptive lies. These elitists are attempting to brainwash the American people with their lying mass media ads in order to line their own pockets. I think it is time for those with the money to counter with their own ads and present the plain unvarnished truth and expose these people for the dangerous radical frauds that they are.

This obvious fraud of acting like they are speaking for “We The People” should be illegal. If we allow self serving interest groups with deep pocket to brainwash all those who watch mass media with their own disinformation campaigns we will lose this nation to an Oligarchy.

Al Gore told us this three hundred million dollar ad campaign would take place and billionaire T. Boone Pickens has jumped on the global warming gravy train to further his huge investments in windmills and natural gas. Now we are seeing in their lying mass media ads how devious and dangerous these people can be when “We The People“ only hear in the mass media from the side of those who stand to gain from brainwashing us with their lying mass media campaign to America. 

Brainwashing by the elite rich through use of lying mass media must never be allowed in America or our representative Republic elected by “We The People” will be finished.

Here is another opinion by a blogger who wants Al Gore to stop lying on TV like he is speaking for the American people on other TV ad.

I heard Al Gore say the other day that his followers should now use civil disobedence to stop the building of new coal plants in America. He also said that individal state Attorney Generals should prosecute what Gore things is fraud. If anyone should be prosecuted for fraud it should be Al Gore with his lying movie and his lying presentations that are based on lies and fraud. Even the British Court indicated that when he tried to force his “Inconvenient Truth” move down the throats of all British school children. People better realize we are dealing with some very devious self serving people here.

Its getting close to Halloween and I know you all want to read a good scare story. Well learn what the banks and investment firms have been doing with your money and you will know why Washington and the banks are in a cold sweat panic and saying if the government does not bring stability the whole house of cards is going to come crashing down into the second great depression.

For a house of cards to fall it has to be a house of cards to begin with and this article about derivatives will take you on a tour of the house. After you read this article you will not only know everything you need to know about derivatives. You will also know why everyone in the know is turning white with fear long before Halloween.

There simply is no reason why a sub-prime crises would cause all these investment bank failures unless they have been doing something with your money that is very risky. Turns out they have. Instead of making sound investments with your money they have been gambling at the Derivatives Casinos. All these firms are now so leveraged on their next bet that any loss at the wheel of fortune makes them unable to pay their bills and if they cannot pay their bills other banks that are levered to the teeth because of their own gambling habits also cannot pay their bills and if they cannot pay their bills none of the others can pay their bills either and if none of the others can pay their bills there is no money to borrow for anyone in the nation.

Read about it for yourself but anyone who thinks the crises is over is not paying attention. Also take note that the following article was written before the announcement of the really frighting government bailout that was announced today to bail out all the derivative gamblers bad debts. Yeah, the government has to do this taxpayer bailout because all the gamblers were not gambling with their own money they were gambling with your retirement, insurance and investment incomes and everything else.

Next years Halloween fright night will be about the coming rapid hyperinflation that will bring you green toilet paper.

OpEdNews » It’s the Derivatives, Stupid! Why Fannie, Freddie and AIG Had to Be Bailed Out

Until recently, most people had never even heard of derivatives; but in terms of money traded, these investments represent the biggest financial market in the world. Derivatives are financial instruments that have no intrinsic value but derive their value from something else. Basically, they are just bets. You can “hedge your bet” that something you own will go up by placing a side bet that it will go down. “Hedge funds” hedge bets in the derivatives market. Bets can be placed on anything, from the price of tea in China to the movements of specific markets.

“The point everyone misses,” wrote economist Robert Chapman a decade ago, “is that buying derivatives is not investing. It is gambling, insurance and high stakes bookmaking. Derivatives create nothing.”1 They not only create nothing, but they serve to enrich non-producers at the expense of the people who do create real goods and services. In congressional hearings in the early 1990s, derivatives trading was challenged as being an illegal form of gambling. But the practice was legitimized by Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, who not only lent legal and regulatory support to the trade but actively promoted derivatives as a way to improve “risk management.” Partly, this was to boost the flagging profits of the banks; and at the larger banks and dealers, it worked. But the cost was an increase in risk to the financial system as a whole.2

Since then, derivative trades have grown exponentially, until now they are larger than the entire global economy. The Bank for International Settlements recently reported that total derivatives trades exceeded one quadrillion dollars – that’s 1,000 trillion dollars.3 How is that figure even possible? The gross domestic product of all the countries in the world is only about 60 trillion dollars. The answer is that gamblers can bet as much as they want. They can bet money they don’t have, and that is where the huge increase in risk comes in.

Credit default swaps (CDS) are the most widely traded form of credit derivative. CDS are bets between two parties on whether or not a company will default on its bonds. In a typical default swap, the “protection buyer” gets a large payoff from the “protection seller” if the company defaults within a certain period of time, while the “protection seller” collects periodic payments from the “protection buyer” for assuming the risk of default. CDS thus resemble insurance policies, but there is no requirement to actually hold any asset or suffer any loss, so CDS are widely used just to increase profits by gambling on market changes. In one blogger’s example, a hedge fund could sit back and collect $320,000 a year in premiums just for selling “protection” on a risky BBB junk bond. The premiums are “free” money – free until the bond actually goes into default, when the hedge fund could be on the hook for $100 million in claims.

And there’s the catch: what if the hedge fund doesn’t have the $100 million? The fund’s corporate shell or limited partnership is put into bankruptcy; but both parties are claiming the derivative as an asset on their books, which they now have to write down. Players who have “hedged their bets” by betting both ways cannot collect on their winning bets; and that means they cannot afford to pay their losing bets, causing other players to also default on their bets.

The dominos go down in a cascade of cross-defaults that infects the whole banking industry and jeopardizes the global pyramid scheme. The potential for this sort of nuclear reaction was what prompted billionaire investor Warren Buffett to call derivatives “weapons of financial mass destruction.” It is also why the banking system cannot let a major derivatives player go down, and it is the banking system that calls the shots. The Federal Reserve is literally owned by a conglomerate of banks; and Hank Paulson, who heads the U.S. Treasury, entered that position through the revolving door of investment bank Goldman Sachs, where he was formerly CEO.

The government is about to let the taxpayer bailout all the greedy gamblers that have been gambling with your investment money for many years and have now run out of luck. Don’t just blame the gamblers and the corporation heads that hired them either. They were hired because people who had stock in these companies expected unrealistic returns year after year. If you expected ten percent on your investments each year or if you bought a house that you knew you could not afford on the speculation that it would go up in value then look in the mirror the government is actually attempting to bail you out

It is going to be much like the saving and loans bailout of yesteryear magnified to a much larger scale. In fact no one knows how much this is going to cost the American taxpayer. It will probably cost trillions. The power brokers say they have to do this or the whole system will collapse. That is correct, but maybe it should collapse because the national debt will soon bring the living standards of everyone in the United States to that of a second world nation anyway. Who gave the federal government such powers and why was the American system allowed to become a Federal Reserve Bank protectorate?

The government now realizes that it cannot keep bailing out one company at a time or the stock market will crash and the whole house of cards will come down and many will lose most of their investments. That is politically not acceptable so they are going to create an agency that bails out all the bad debt.

The joke is that Congress and the President have been trying to save a billion here and a billion there for years in order to keep the budget deficit as low as possible but in one huge bailout they will add more to the national debt then they saved by their budget cuts over a lifetime. Most of these same jokers will then come back next year and play the same game again by talking about reducing the budget deficit while the bailout will cause the deficits in the next few years to far exceed any in American history. It is simply nuts.

In order to appease you in this downturn they will add more tax cuts and give us another stimulus package that will add even more hundreds of billions to next year’s deficit. It is like giving everyone on government assistance food stamps to keep them in T-bones.

They will also put all these failed corporations under government control and bring in control boards to manage them. So we will have free enterprise replaced with socialist bureaucratic decree. Those restructured bureaucratic controlled corporations will be a disaster in the making and the taxpayer will keep paying more billions for their continued losses.

Don’t worry be happy, your not going to have to pay this debt burden just yet because we can’t. So it will all be financed. That means we will have to acquire more loans from foreign nations to finance our increasing national debt. That also means the U.S. will become more dependent on countries like China and the oil rich nations that acually hate us. Anytime they wish to force us to do their bidding they will have a huge debt club to pound us over the head with.

The Bible says the borrower becomes the slave of the leader. The U.S. is becoming a slave nation because it will be totally dependent on other nations that will not allow us to be free.

So add a trillion here and a trillion there and pretty soon we are borrowing more than the loan sharks wish to lend us. Then we will have to promise them higher and higher interest on our debt in order to get the loans. We are about $10 trillion in debt right now and this bailout and the economic downturn will cost us at least two trillion more debt within two years. That means we will be paying interest on over $12 trillion every single year. Even at 5 percent interest the cost will be $600 billion a year and I doubt if interest rates will remain that low.

Add the fifty trillion dollar entitlement bill that is coming due in the future and there is simply no way that the U.S. can go on without doing one of two things and either one will bring this nation to poverty. The first is to default on our debt to other nations and the second is to print more money and cause the dollar to be worth far less. We cannot really default or we are finished in this world so be prepared for double digit inflation for decades to come and do not expect your earnings to keep up. In fact, expect a standard of living in a decade that is about half of what you have today. The government printing more and more dollars will weaken the dollar bringing hyperinflation so then the outstanding debt will either become a smaller part of the GNP or the lenders will stop lending. If they stop lending we are also finished in the world. So the future for the U.S. is hyperinflation or isolationism and depression that will make the 1930’s look like the good times.

The government may have bailed out the economic crises this year but doing so will just make a much worse economic crises in the near future. I think all the greedy pigs in the banks and brokerage markets and all the fools in government and all the people who elected them deserve the Demented Delusional and Dumb Club award. The greedy slobs and their bought and paid for representatives in government deserve this award for killing a once prosperous free nation and making it a socialist slave nation. Congratulations!

So how do we go back to free America? We cannot, unless the slaves escape the nation  controlled by the globalist elite.

This article reviews a book that Chuck Norris wrote about American patriotism and Christian values. Norris is now becoming a major champion of American patriotism and religious freedoms. We need to get back to the root values and Judeo-Christian principles of the founders of our nation. Chuck Norris is now obviously a champion fighting for America.

Book Review: Chuck Norris’ ‘Black Belt Patriotism’ - HUMAN EVENTS

Whether discussing the war on terrorism, fiscal discipline or the removal of God from the public square, Norris makes it clear that re-embracing, promoting and and respecting the Judeo-Christian principles that guided our founders is indispensable to America becoming as great as she can be. Far from advocating any sort of theocracy, Norris asserts that the very Constitution we now adhere to functions best when the moral foundations of our republic are championed. In defense of that position, he quotes Thomas Paine, who said, “Spiritual freedom is the root of political freedom…As the union between spiritual freedom and political liberty seems nearly inseparable, it is our duty to defend both.” John Adams added, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to to the government of any other.” Norris also cites George Washington, who argued against the notion that a nation can remain moral “in exclusion of religious principle”.

He also fights back against the argument that Thomas Jefferson argued for the “separation of church and state,” by using the very letter of Jefferson’s to the Danbury Baptists that contains that phrase. In context, Norris observes that Jefferson’s point was not to slam the door on religious expression “but to prohibit the domination and even legislation of religious sectarianism.” He also adds that Jefferson attended church services at the U.S. Capitol just two days after writing the letter — hardly a sign he wanted no intermingling of government and religion. In another nice touch, Norris prints the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Ten Commandments at the end of the book, just to remind readers what each of them contains.

Norris quotes The Founders not only with respect to the key social issues of the day but also with respect to our nation’s mounting debt. He blasts the government for its wasteful ways, pointing out that the cost of minting pennies and nickels exceeds the values of those coins. The IRS is also a major target of his when it comes to the nation’s taxes. Norris says our Founders would be “horrified” to see the bloated bureaucracies and heavy tax burdens — which were, after all, one of the major reasons for the revolution. He pounds home the point with the words of Patrick Henry, who asserted that unless properly restricted, tax collectors will “go into your cellars and rooms and search, ransack, and measure, everything you eat, drink, and wear.”

Awwwww! Maybe you Europeans ought to get it into your socialist godless heads that Americans don’t want your stinking system. If the rest of the world does not like us for rejecting a mouth with no judgment and his Far Left socialist programs they do not have to come here to live. Obama’s programs will cost us a trillion dollars in new taxes. We don’t want them. Keep your fifty percent tax rates over there.

Maybe you should take something for that sinking feeling that you British liberals get in your stomach when America elects a conservative. May I suggest taking a biblical course and a course on the U.S. Constitution as a remedy. We are not like you and we will never be like you unless we start to elect people like Obama.

My golly! A woman who mentions that God blesses a state and nation when there heart is right with God is just too much for Jonathan. We can’t have that kind of narrow minded Christian thinking in godless Europe can we? Gee Jonathan, where did your name come from? Was it the Bible? Maybe you should change your name like Obama did. “Obedient Slavedland” seems about appropriate to me.

In America someone is going to lose the election sure enough, so if those in the blue states want to whine about losing all the time they might try putting up a candidate that does not always come from the Far Left reaches of their party. You know, that part of the Democratic Party that mostly appeals to elite control freaks and their brainwashed subjects. The subjects that tend to be mostly government welfare lazies and kids in rebellion that will not even get off their butt to vote.

The American election is not a global ballet, Jonathan. We don’t tell you how to vote so don’t presume you know what is best for Americans. We could care less what persons around the world would vote for because they are not voting for our leader. We are! I am sure all the leftist dictators around the world will be jumping for glee if Obama wins, we would expect nothing less. If America really was so out of touch with what is right in the world, the world would not need us to keep bailing their butt out of the fire all the time. You ought to thank the God you do not believe in that there has been a America with good judgment.

Now you know why the majority of us in the U.S. will not vote for that leftist media promotion called Obama and if we do you better run for your life because the world is suddenly going to become a very unstable place.

What you do not get is that the dispute with you Europeans has always been with the Americans themselves and not with our ruling clique. Our government is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. We are not a government of the elite like Europe. We want so little to do with Europe that most of our ancestors departed from it because of your evil. If it were not for the fifth column of Leftists that have taken over the American media and educational system you would find out just how conservative the heartland of America really is.

Stick that thought in your pipe and suck on it. It should soon give you such a deep sinking feeling in your stomach that maybe you will want to give up writing stupid commentaries about some great black socialist hope for America and the world. You also might realize that the EU is not in the free world.

The world’s verdict will be harsh if the US rejects the man it yearns for
An America that disdains Obama for his global support risks turning current anti-Bush feeling into something far worse

The feeling is familiar. I had it four years ago and four years before that: a sinking feeling in the stomach. It’s a kind of physical pessimism which says: “It’s happening again. The Democrats are about to lose an election they should win - and it could not matter more.”

Remember, this is a woman who once addressed a church congregation, saying of her work as governor - transport, policing and education - “really all of that stuff doesn’t do any good if the people of Alaska’s heart isn’t right with God”.

If Sarah Palin defies the conventional wisdom that says elections are determined by the top of the ticket, and somehow wins this for McCain, what will be the reaction? Yes, blue-state America will go into mourning once again, feeling estranged in its own country. A generation of young Americans - who back Obama in big numbers - will turn cynical, concluding that politics doesn’t work after all. And, most depressing, many African-Americans will decide that if even Barack Obama - with all his conspicuous gifts - could not win, then no black man can ever be elected president.

But what of the rest of the world? This is the reaction I fear most. For Obama has stirred an excitement around the globe unmatched by any American politician in living memory. Polling in Germany, France, Britain and Russia shows that Obama would win by whopping majorities, with the pattern repeated in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. If November 4 were a global ballot, Obama would win it handsomely. If the free world could choose its leader, it would be Barack Obama.

If Americans choose McCain, they will be turning their back on the rest of the world, choosing to show us four more years of the Bush-Cheney finger. And I predict a deeply unpleasant shift.

Until now, anti-Americanism has been exaggerated and much misunderstood: outside a leftist hardcore, it has mostly been anti-Bushism, opposition to this specific administration. But if McCain wins in November, that might well change. Suddenly Europeans and others will conclude that their dispute is with not only one ruling clique, but Americans themselves. For it will have been the American people, not the politicians, who will have passed up a once-in-a-generation chance for a fresh start - a fresh start the world is yearning for.

Good start, but even if this goes to Jury trial he could be out of office before it is heard or we could end up with a Joe Biden slap in the face. There should be a way of forcing candidates to reveal their citizenship before then are nominated and elected. Somebody in the legal system needs to figure out how we do that.

OBAMA: National Security Risk

By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director

Lawsuit filed in Eastern District of Pennsylvania

23 August 2008: A lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania might be the catalyst that will compel democratic presidential candidate Barack Hussein OBAMA to produce legitimate birth records that would verify his citizenship and thus, his eligibility to be president.

As heard on The Roth Show last night, Pennsylvania attorney Phillip BERG filed for DECLARTORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF against OBAMA and the DNC. Whatever one might think of the petitioner (plaintiff) in this case, these are legitimate questions that must be answered.

A Democratic Party President, a Democratic House and a filibuster proof Democratic Senate would be the end of this nation as we know it. When are people going to realize that this secular humanist amoral Democratic party is not the Democratic party of our fathers? The national party is now controlled by radical left wing elitist power brokers. It is a fifth column of elite that wants to force the U.S. to conform to the socialist globalist rules of the UN and the EU.

We would be a Left wing Fascist socialist nation in no time. Within a year or two they would have a liberal Supreme Court to uphold their unconstitutional laws and anything Obama, Harry and Nanny wanted they would get. The whole U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights would be redefined by godless socialists. By the end of term they will have changed media laws, they will have put into effect anti Christian hate speech laws and they will have made broad political changes that will insure that they stay in power. Somewhat like Putin and his Fascist people are now doing in Russia.

Even if they do not get their filibuster proof majority in the Senate it does not mean that we are out of the woods. If there is a Democratic President the scum suckers will try to change the Senate rules and stop filibusters all together and they will probably succeed. The only reason these bottom feeding scum suckers have not attempted to do that already is that they know that a Senate rules change now would not help them with a Republican President in office who would veto their bills.

So gee…nothing less then our Republic is on the line during the next election. So if you want to live under left wing Fascism you know how to vote. I find it simply unbelievable that so many people in this nation continue to vote for a national party that has not taken a correct moral stand on any significant issue in decades. Don’t you people even believe what your religion teaches? If not quit pretending! Admit you believe in nothing but how the government can give you a free handout.

Don’t count on being able to remove these bottom feeders in four years like some say will happen either. By then the rules of the political game will have changed and they will have muzzled free speech. We could even be under Marshall law. You will need a military coup to get the scum suckers out of office if that happens.

Don’t also count on the U.S becoming some Christian socialist paradise through the liberals passing huge give away programs and bailouts that this nation cannot afford. The failed economic polices of socialism will put us in the worse economic times in the history of this nation. We are in trouble already because of a democrat controlled House and Senate. Just one example is the cost of gas. Why do you think gas is four dollars a gallon? It is because liberals would not let people drill where there is significant oil or build refineries for twenty years.

Left wing naive wishful thinking will bring foreign policy miscalculation against Iran, Russia, and others that will probably put us in the third world war. So vote for a Democrat and also sign up for the draft.

You cannot say you were not warned when you still go ahead and vote for that Democrat.

(Of course I am mainly  talking about national candidates not all democrats running for local offices)

RealClearPolitics - Articles - Democrats Aim for a 60-Vote Senate

Here’s an intriguing thought: The John McCain-Barack Obama fight isn’t this season’s biggest political story. That honor should be reserved for the intense Democratic push to win a filibuster-proof Senate majority.

Democrats know this is a huge prize, and they are throwing at least as much money and sweat into that effort as they are into electing Mr. Obama. What isn’t clear is that voters are as aware of the stakes. An unstoppable Democratic Senate has the potential to alter the balance of power in Washington in ways not yet seen.

Mr. Reid won’t necessarily need 60 votes to hold Washington’s whip hand. With a contingent of blue-state Republicans (think Maine’s Olympia Snowe), Mr. Reid could peel off votes and have an “effective” filibuster with just 57 or 58 seats. That may not be enough to accomplish every last item on his wish list, but close.

That wish list? Take a look at what House Democrats (who aren’t burdened with a filibuster) unilaterally passed last year: The biggest tax increase in history; card check, which eliminates secret ballots in union organizing elections; an “energy” bill that lacks drilling; vastly expanded government health insurance; new powers to restrict pharmaceutical prices. Add to this a global warming program, new trade restrictions (certainly no new trade deals) and fewer private options in Medicare.

In Canada people are being brought before hate speech tribunals for saying something that just hurts the feelings of some homosexual. It is well known how homosexual queens wear their feelings on their blouse sleeve and it costs people a lot of money to defend themselves from these pansy attacks. So just what is just about this justice system in Canada and why would you want to bring it here by voting for a demented pro hate speech big brother control freak Democrat?

Magazine cleared of ‘bigotry,’ now facing 2nd hearing

A Christian publication already cleared by the Canadian Human Rights Commission on claims its reporting on issues involving homosexuality stem from “bigotry, discrimination and hate” will have to defend itself – again – from the same charges.

De Valk, the editor, said earlier, “It is chilling to think that a publication can be hauled before a government tribunal simply for reporting to interested citizens developments in these [homosexual rights] areas of controversy.”

WND reported earlier on the Canadian procedures that give human rights commissions virtually unlimited power to “hear” allegations of “hate crimes” and issue orders in those cases.

Already, a Knights of Columbus council was fined more than $1,000 for refusing to allow its facility to be used for a lesbian “wedding,” and before that printer Scott Brockie was fined $5,000 for declining to print homosexual-themed stationery. In another case Hugh Owens was fined thousands of dollars for quoting Bible verses in a newspaper and London, Ontario, mayor Diane Haskett was fined $10,000 for refusing to proclaim a homosexual pride day.

Officials noted the United States is not immune to such cases, either, after a New Mexico photographer was fined $6,600 for refusing to meet the demands of a lesbian to take pictures at a “wedding.”

Canada Family Action Coalition has blamed the situation on “bastardized courts” because activists who claim “hurt feelings” are demanding and getting penalties imposed against those who oppose homosexuality.

Wells has alleged he was offended by the Catholic Insight. Its editor, de Valk, said the claims are unfounded and the publication simply follows the teaching of the Catholic Church on homosexuality.

Catholic Insight reported that Wells’ attack on the publication is not his first. In 2006 he tried to close down several websites including concernedchristians.ca because of their Christian content, and he targeted Ron Gray and the Christian Heritage party because the political entity posted articles “motivated by hate” of homosexuals.

Mychal Massie sums up in seven very short paragraphs why America is not the nation it was and is not the nation it could be and what he says is totally contrary to what Obama stands for.

America not good enough for Obama’s children

Asked in Elkhart, Ind., by a 7-year-old little girl, why he wanted to be president, Barack Obama answered: “Because I don’t believe that America is what it could be [or] what it once was – and I don’t want that for my little girls.”

Parsing his statement, “He doesn’t want our America for [his] little girls,” because he doesn’t “believe [it is] what it once was.” On that point, I agree with him, albeit for completely different reasons.

When a presidential candidate says, “[We] Americans can’t drive our SUVs and [cannot] eat as much as we want and [cannot] keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to be okay.” When he states emphatically that this will not be the case under his leadership – I submit that we can conclude what kind of country he believes America “could be.” The problem is, that’s not the kind of country our Founding Fathers envisioned nor is it the kind of nation a majority of Americans want to live in

So here you have it. Polosi and Obama plan to legalize homosexual marriage nationwide by repealing the Defense of Marriage Act. Do not be deceived, the only thing you can do to stop it is to not vote for a Democrat for president and do not vote for a Democrat for the House or Senate. Do not count on a constitutional amendment to change this. It would take years to pass and at the rate this country is going downhill and being brainwashed they will have the votes to stop any constitutional amendment long before it gets ratified by the required number of states.

Pelosi on same-sex ‘marriage’ (OneNewsNow.com)

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she would support efforts by would-be president Barack Obama to legalize homosexual so-called “marriages” nationwide.

Pelosi made the admission when questioned by a reporter for CNSNews.com, the Cybercast News Service.

REPORTER: Senator Obama has called for the full repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). And I’m wondering, if Senator Obama is elected president, if you’ll support him in repealing that in the next congress?

PELOSI: Yes.

Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth, is stunned by the admission.

Here are two pretty good articles on Obama. I think they peg him about right. He is a arrogant black liberation Marxist. If American is fooled by this half black arrogance they will see him rule over the demise of America.

How did America come to the place where they might even elect to President someone that was a drug abuser, a man with no national experience, a man that has known association with criminals and terrorists, a man that joined with a black theology religious cult for twenty years, a man who grew up among Islam and was highly influenced by Marxism who will not even show normal American patriotism in public. a man who confesses Christianity but denies it by every amoral stand he takes, a self professed pluralistic univeralist who believes that all religious lead to the same god, a man that will pass hate speech laws that will muzzle Christian free speech, a man we know will appoint people to the Supreme Court that will redefine our Constitution and Our Bill of Rights to mean what they want it to mean, and so forth?

Is is just because he can say “yes we can“? Well up to recently on oil he has said no we cannot and has shown himself to be an Olympic flip flopper on many issues. Or perhaps it is because he can say “change“? So is this the loose change that you want in the White House? If anyone remembers Jimmy Carter’s presidency, Obama’s will even make him look Presidential. Think of Obama, Reed, Pelosi, and a liberal Supreme Court running this country and you might think the U.S. became the first state of Cuba.

Obama thinks he’s better than you

The more I observe the great illusionist Barack Obama, the more I am convinced that if he is able to dupe enough voters into putting him in charge it will be the most entertaining presidency in the history of the office. Is there really any sane person who believes this guy would make a good president?

Forget for a moment the people with whom he associates. Look past the bomber, mad preacher, angry wife and crooked slumlord. They are merely distractions. Forget the lack of experience or substantive legislation during his short stint in the Senate. Just focus on his current actions.

When he takes the stage, there is an air of arrogance I have never sensed from anyone else in a similar situation. There is a tone of pompousness and entitlement. One gets the sense that Obama feels he is doing his attendees a favor for allowing them in his presence. His body language screams, “I am better than you.” His confidence is not quiet. His soaring rhetoric is accompanied by the dropping of the final syllable or vowel. His almost preacher-like twang is devoid of even the slightest shred of modesty.

Properly inflating our tires and keeping our cars tuned are not the answer to the energy crunch. Sending a $1,000 check to every American and sending the bill to Exxon is not an energy policy. Printing money to bail out banks and stop foreclosures is not the answer to bad decisions.

Government is not the answer to our problems; government is the problem. The sooner an honest politician declares so and puts forth legislation to shrink government, the better off we will all be.

Obama’s hissing

One of many sayings I remember from my grandmother is, “If the hiss doesn’t tell you it’s a snake, then the fact that it slithers on its belly in the dirt should.” And to that point, if the company Barack Obama has kept (read the dirt he has aligned himself with) doesn’t tell you he is a Marxist reparationist, then the words from his mouth, i.e., his hiss, certainly should.

Obama repeatedly told the NAACP, “I’ve been working my entire adult life to help build an America where ‘economic justice’ is being served. And as president, we’ll ensure that ‘economic justice’ is served. That’s what this election is about.” (”Barack Obama’s Stealth Socialism,” Investor’s Business Daily, July 28, 2008.)

“Economic justice” is just an oblique euphemism for wealth redistribution, i.e., Marxism – “from each according to their ability, to each according to their need.” IBD theorizes Obama’s intent is a massive transfer of wealth from those who have money to those whom he defines as poor. Worse, he views it as a global obligation.

PBS is going on the attack against the fundamental beliefs of two major religions with your tax dollars. If you keep voting in Liberals they will continue to fund these these attacks on the fundamentals of Christianity and Judaism. The truth is that your government funded station is promoting an attack against two major religions in favor of the religion of secular humanism. That is unconstitutional.  Don’t you think it is time for us to do away with this Secular Humanism brainwashing platform?

PBS promotes official state religion

Coming this November from PBS’ “Nova” series is a “documentary” suggesting the following:

* Abraham and Sara, the patriarchal couple of Judaism and Christianity, didn’t really exist.

* The Exodus of the children of Israel from Egypt never really happened.

* The Hebrew Tanach, what Christians call the Old Testament, was mostly written just six centuries before the time of Jesus.

Now keep in mind who is funding this program and the network that will air it – you, the American taxpayer.

It would be insulting enough to Christians and Jews in America if a private corporation were producing this kind of attack on the foundation of the two faiths. But this is an assault made possible by government – the same government, by the way, that is flirting with reinstituting the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” to limit free expression by private broadcasters.

I don’t know about you, but this makes me angry.

That is an outrage.

It’s more than an outrage. It is unconstitutional and un-American.

It is, in fact, just the kind of thing the Founding Father had in mind when they wrote the First Amendment prohibiting the establishment of a state religion.

That is precisely what is happening when the U.S. government funds propaganda promoting what has become, de facto, the official state church in America – secular humanism.

It’s way past time to pull the plug on PBS and National Public Radio and all the other propaganda arms of the federal government’s promotion of socialism and secular humanism and every other imaginable failed idea.

People like Nancy Pelosi, T. Boone Pickens and Al gore are telling lies that could have a catastrophic negative impact on this nations for decades. At some point the people of the United States are going to have to say we have had enough of people with special interests buying time to give out irresponsible disinformation or the conservatives are going to have to do something about the imbalanced message themselves.

There is something wrong when billionaires like Pickens with a ten billion dollar venture in windmills can buy time on all major national medias to misinformed the public on a national security issue in order to sell the windmill industry that he leads.

There is something wrong when Al Gore’s group can spend 300 million to give global warming disinformation on media to sell a carbon cap and trade industry that he leads.

There is something wrong when the Speaker of the House will not even let the oil drilling issue come up for vote when 3/4 of the people of the U.S. want off shore drilling.

There is something wrong when all these people can get invited over and over again to appear on public media shows to give their nutty unrealistic views on energy but little or nothing is said by people who know the truth. There is a term for this, it is called brainwashing the American public.

A biased mass media run by the elite has changed America from a Republic to an Oligarchy. It used to be that representatives voted what the local people wanted but with mass media those that control the media first brainwash the public to believe a lie and then when they have enough convinced that lies are truth they pass loony laws that negatively impact Amer
