<p>At some point one has to decide if their time is being used most effectively. Two blogs and a website just takes too much of my time.</p>
<p>Many of the over 2300 post on this Blog are about politics and the belief in man caused climate change. The 2008 election is now over and Americans proved that they are demented delusional or dumb by the choices that they made. Liberal humanistic socialists who cause most of the problems in this nation will now finish the destruction of this nation by making America conform to the global governance of the godless socialist elite.</p>
<p>Of course the astute know that we were not given any real choice in the elections, we seldom are. The elections are mostly a sham. The field of prospective candidates are manipulated by the controlled media so that people pick the choice of the elite. <strong>No matter who you elect you get the same elitist socialist globalist Council on Foreign relations (CFR) agenda</strong>. You can see that by just looking at the CFR membership found at the top echelons of each administration. The Congress is totally controlled by the money of special interest groups. The system is now so corrupt that it is almost impossible to get an incumbent out of office. Frankly, we no longer have a representative constitutional government of the people, by the people and for the people. I guess you can read the topical posts here if you really want to know more information.</p>
<p>Despite plenty of scientific proof to the contrary (which can be found on this Blog) Americans have bought into global warming junk science hype and have been brainwashed into paying the costs of reducing beneficial CO2 gas. All this hype about carbon is about global governance, government control and the biggest backdoor tax in the history of the world, it is not about global warming at all.</p>
<p>Most Americans believe everything that they are told by the global elite that control the educational, political and media systems. There is no hope of educating people who cannot or will not think for themselves. Most Americans have become talking head parrots. They just repeat what they hear from the controlled talking heads on TV. Few people in this nation can critically think for themselves anymore they just go with the flow over the cliff.</p>
<p>This Blog will remain up as long as the search engines keep bringing people to it based on people&#8217;s key word searches on the various topics. I would think that means it will be up for at least another year. Comments are now closed.</p>
<p><strong>If you have a link up to this Blog or have it bookmarked, I hope you will change it to my above listed Blog or my website <a title="The Prophetic Years Bible prophecy and Revelation commentary" href="http://www.thepropheticyears.com">www.thepropheticyears.com </a><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img style='float: left; margin-right: 10px; border: none;' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=ca5e7284bbfb0695d21146c8de12b9db&amp;default=http://www.thepropheticyears.com/graphics/logo.jpg' alt='No Gravatar' width=40 height=40/><p>Someone kind of help my out here I am at a loss for words. I understand why people would be pissed because the police killed a teen but the two police officers involved have been charged by the government, one with murder. So, why would this produce four days of rioting and looting across Greece and Crete? I understand this shooting happened in a seedy area that is occupied by low life drug users and liberal anarchists who want no police presence. So now the anarchists across Greece and Crete have united and are using this Greek tragedy as an excuse to riot and loot. Excuse me, but what in the world do you anarchists expect to accomplish by burning and looting the property of innocent people? You are burning the same businesses that you will need to function as a society. What kind of whacked out minds destroy their own nest?</p>
<p>While I am on the subject, anarchists are pretty common in Europe in general. What is it that these rebels want? By definition it means they want no government. How then would you liberal anarchists get your welfare and drug money? The anarchists want a nation where everyone does what is right in their own eyes. Who then would protect the innocent and the weak from all the predators like you anarchists? Even the way your going about how you can achieve anarchy is not logical. You really think that attacking government is going to bring you more freedom? If you did not already have a large degree of freedom you would be in no position to attack government. Try rioting and looting in North Korea and see what happens.</p>
<p>So do you really think that these riots will bring you the freedom from government that you want? It will really bring a demand for law and order from the Greek people on your necks. So in the end with your lawlessness you are destroying the freedom that you want. The Greeks or the European people are not going to sit around and watch anarchists burn down their homeland unless they are suicidal and if most of you in Europe are now suicidal the rest of you better learn to bow to Mecca when the music plays. So anarchy in Europe will only bring repression from your government or from Islam. So tell me again why you all are you rioting in Greece? You say you have nothing else to do with all your pent up hated for everyone and everything? You all richly deserve my Demented Delusional or Dumb Club award.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,463406,00.html">FOXNews.com &#8211; Greeks Brace for More Mayhem Ahead of Teen&#8217;s Funeral &#8211; International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Three successive nights of widespread burning and looting have left stores and buildings gutted across Athens, and serious damage in Greece&#8217;s other main cities. The widely televised scenes of destruction are likely to further undermine a conservative government already rocked by financial scandals and clinging to a razor-thin majority of just one seat in the 300-member Parliament.</p>
<p>Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis said there would be no leniency for the rioters.</p>

<p>&#8220;No one has the right to use this tragic incident as an alibi for actions of raw violence, for actions against innocent people, their property and society as a whole, and against democracy,&#8221; he said after an emergency meeting with the country&#8217;s president, Karolos Papoulias.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,463406,00.html"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Within hours of the boy&#8217;s death, riots erupted in cities across Greece, from Thessaloniki in the north to cities in Crete and the holiday island of Corfu. By early Tuesday, hundreds of stores, cars, banks and buildings in about a dozen cities had been torched, smashed or looted.</p>
<p>The worst violence occurred late Monday when gangs of masked and hooded youths screaming &#8220;Cops! Pigs! Murderers!&#8221; set up burning barricades across city streets and fought pitched street battles with riot police firing volleys of tear gas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img style='float: left; margin-right: 10px; border: none;' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=ca5e7284bbfb0695d21146c8de12b9db&amp;default=http://www.thepropheticyears.com/graphics/logo.jpg' alt='No Gravatar' width=40 height=40/><p>This article has forty or so links to news articles in 2008 that debunk Al Gore&#8217;s global warming nonsense. So send everyone a link to this article in your Christmas email and tell them to send it to three other people or they will get an inconvenient curse from the Global Warming Grinch that snowed the world. Maybe we can get everyone to stop believing in the Global Warming Grinch that steals future prosperity and freedom. Then when people stop believing he will just dissolve away like Frosty the snow man. Ho Ho Ho.</p>
<p>By the way if these articles still do not convince you there is this article with <strong><a title="statement of dissent" href="http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.Blogs&amp;ContentRecord_id=2158072e-802a-23ad-45f0-274616db87e6">statements of dissent</a></strong> that come directly from what the world class scientists said and if that is still not enough look under my global warming category on my sidebar where you will find hundreds of entries on this topic.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.christianworldviewnetwork.com/article.php/4290/Brannon-Howse/By-Tom-DeWeese">Christian Worldview Network &#8211; Brannon Howse &#8211; Obama Wants a Climate Czar&#8230;But Al Gore Has No Consensus</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>In his dramatic road show, Gore warns, &#8220;The leading experts predict that we have less than 10 years to make dramatic changes on our global warming pollution lest we lose our ability to ever recover from this environmental crisis.&#8221; Of course, Gore has been warning of a &#8220;10 year tipping point&#8221; for several years.</p>
<p>In fact, the UN started to warn of a 10-year countdown in 1989. That’s when the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) warned that entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend was not reversed by the year 2000. Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of &#8220;eco-refugees,&#8221; threatening political chaos.</p>
<p>Twenty years later – and as Al continues to issue the same tired warning, there has been no chaos, no flooding and no eco-refugees. However, what has occurred is an outpouring of dissent against the theory of human caused global warming fears.</p>
<p><strong>Here is just a sample of the headlines in the global warming story in 2008: (see full article)<br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.christianworldviewnetwork.com/article.php/4290/Brannon-Howse/By-Tom-DeWeese"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>And yet, Al Gore and his legions continue to pass global warming off as the greatest threat ever to man’s survival. Not only have they called for &#8220;Nuremburg-type trials to silence skeptics – but even for civil disobedience &#8220;to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration.&#8221;<br />
Why does he continue the campaign in light of so much proof to the contrary? Why does new President Barack Obama want to create a cabinet position for a &#8220;Climate Czar&#8221; even though there is so much proof that man-made global warming is little more than a hoax? Because the issue is not, and never has been about saving the planet. It is about enforcing a new economic &#8220;ecologarchy&#8221; that seeks to control our every action from the top. We used to call it socialism, now we call it going green.</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/dec/03/a-capitol-crime/">Washington Times &#8211; SPALDING: A &#8216;Capitol&#8217; crime</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>As an expert in the U.S. Constitution and America&#8217;s Founding, I thought I had lost the ability to be shocked by politically correct distortions of our history. Then I visited the new Capitol Visitor Center.</p>
<p>The just-completed Visitor Center, which opened yesterday, is a 580,000-square-foot cavern dug at the foot of the U.S. Capitol at a cost of $621 million (almost 9 times over budget).</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/dec/03/a-capitol-crime/"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>The &#8220;educational&#8221; part is the Exhibition Hall, the theme of which is &#8220;E Pluribus Unum &#8211; Out of Many, One.&#8221; The etching in marble initially referred to that phrase as the nation&#8217;s motto. Now, however, that etching is covered by a bad plaster job, because &#8230; well, &#8220;E Pluribus Unum&#8221; is not the nation&#8217;s motto. Our actual motto, &#8220;In God We Trust,&#8221; is notably absent, along with other references to faith.</p>
<p>Take how the exhibit treats the Northwest Ordinance, the 1787 document that signaled the beginning of America&#8217;s westward expansion. It&#8217;s selectively quoted to encourage education &#8211; carefully shorn of its opening clause: &#8220;Religion, morality and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind.&#8221;</p>
<p>But what bothered me the most when I toured the Visitor Center at the request of Sen. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican &#8211; who raised a warning on this politically correct outrage &#8211; is what it does to the Constitution.</p>

<blockquote><p>The cleanest state meets the pushiest person<br />
Posted: December 03, 2008<br />
6:11 pm Eastern</p>
<p>© 2008</p>
<p>Until now, Minnesota was always famous for its clean elections. Indeed, Democratic consultant Bob Beckel recently attested to the honesty of Minnesota&#8217;s elections, joking: &#8220;Believe me. I&#8217;ve tried. I&#8217;ve tried every way around the system out there, and it doesn&#8217;t work.&#8221;</p>
<p>But that was before Minnesota encountered the pushiest, most aggressive, most unscrupulous person who has ever sought public office, Al Franken.</p>
<p>On Election Day, Franken lost the U.S. Senate race in Minnesota to the Republican incumbent, Sen. Norm Coleman, by 725 votes. But over the next week, Democratic counties keep discovering new votes for Franken and subtracting votes from Coleman, claiming to be correcting &#8220;typos.&#8221;</p>
<p>In all, Franken picked up 459 votes and Coleman lost 60 votes from these alleged &#8220;corrections.&#8221;</p>
<p>As the inestimable economist John Lott pointed out, the &#8220;corrections&#8221; in the Senate race generated more new votes for Franken than all the votes added by corrections in every race in the entire state – presidential<br />
, congressional, state house, sanitation commissioner and dogcatcher – combined.</p>
<p>And yet the left-wing, George Soros-backed secretary of state<br />
, Mark Ritchie, stoutly defended the statistically impossible &#8220;corrected&#8221; votes. There&#8217;s something fishy going on in Minnesota besides the annual bigmouth bass tournament.</p>

It also reminds me of another article I recently read that says that 20 percent of the people in the U.S. have a mental disorder and over one half are using drugs. Over one quarter of the people who took the survey said they even cheated on this survey. Meaning the figures are even higher. So someone tell me how this nation can survive the next &#8220;demented generation&#8221; when it cannot even survive our present &#8220;me generation&#8221;?</p>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;Despite these high levels of dishonesty, these same kids have a high self-image when it comes to ethics.&#8221;</p>
<p>Some 93 percent of students indicated satisfaction with their own character and ethics, with 77 percent saying that &#8220;when it comes to doing what is right, I am better than most people I know.&#8221;</p>

All government representatives that had any part in this have broken their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. They have made the citizens of the United States financial hostages of a world banking cartel. All involved in this coup should be charged with treason. Our system of government was set up with checks and balances to prevent just what is happening today. But the globalists, the cowards and the morally demented in the Legislative and Executive Branch of our government have given the government our founders set up away.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://foxforum.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/11/25/napolitano_1125_bailout/">The Bitter Fruit of an Unconstitutional Bailout « FOX Forum « FOXNews.com</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>But history will be angry at them and their colleagues for betraying the Constitution. Their attitude underscores the reasons that the Constitution does not repose in the Congress the power to bail out individuals or private industry: Bailouts violate the Equal Protection doctrine because the Congress can’t fairly pick and choose who to bail out and who to let expire; they violate the General Welfare Clause because they benefit only a small group and not the general public; they violate the Due Process Clause because they interfere with contracts already entered into; and they turn the public treasury into a public trough. Worse still, Congress lacks the power to let someone else decide how to spend the peoples’ money.</p>
<p>As objectionable as the secretary’s change of mind has proven to be, as destabilizing as it was to the markets, as frustrating as it has been to the politicians who authorized it, it is not inconsistent with the statute that created the bailout because the Congress gave the Secretary the power to change his mind. It gave him, figuratively and literally, a blank check. In effect, the Congress delegated to the Secretary of the Treasury some of the power the Constitution has delegated to the Congress: The power to decide when, how, for whose benefit, and in what amounts taxpayer dollars should be spent.</p>
<p>This delegation of power to the secretary directly violates a basic principle of constitutional law: Delegated powers cannot be delegated away.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img style='float: left; margin-right: 10px; border: none;' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=ca5e7284bbfb0695d21146c8de12b9db&amp;default=http://www.thepropheticyears.com/graphics/logo.jpg' alt='No Gravatar' width=40 height=40/><p>I thought I would comment on this Russian analyst prediction since it is all over the Internet news. He claims that the USA will break up. As some of you know I have been saying in my posts that the break up of the union is a possibility by 2013. However, I say that for different reasons than this moron does. The breakup will not be due to an economic collapse and dissatisfaction although that could add fuel to the fire. If the USA breaks up it will be because of two different ideologies in America that cannot be reconciled.</p>
<p>One ideology is based on biblical principles of morality, constitutional limited federal government, and on self responsibility and the other is based on liberal relativism, big federal government, and a socialist nanny state. If there is a break up of the American union it will be due to the heartland conservative states breaking away from the liberal states. It will come only after one ideology tries to force its will on the other.</p>
<p>I also find the breakdown of the regions by this Russian analyst to be rather bazaar. What he said makes me wonder if he knows anything at all about the demographics of the United States.</p>
<p>The Pacific Coast Chinese minority are not going to be a major factor for separation. The South is not Hispanic other than south Florida so Hispanics would not be a factor in the South. The South is the Bible Belt and that is why they might decide to separate. Texas could survive as a country by itself so I can see them seceding and if there is any breakup of the U.S. it will start in Texas.</p>
<p>After that the Russian analyst mentions five poor central states with large native populations. Huh? What states might they be? None of them are poor and the only state that has a significant enough native population to actually influence the state is Oklahoma but they would still go with Texas. He also thinks Canada has strong influence on the northern states? I suppose they do if you are only talking about beer.</p>
<p>This Russian even suggests that Russia could claim Alaska. I am sure Russia could claim Alaska. I believe some Russians already have claimed Alaska. But, Alaska would never claim Russia. Only a moron could think that Russia could take Alaska. Russia has a problem keeping the Eastern part of their own nation in Russia now. Russians need to keep their own country together before they claim a state that will stuff and mount any platoon of Russian invaders stupid enough to try invading Alaska on their dog sleds.</p>
<p>Lastly, he says it will be clear by spring that Obama will not have any economic miracles. Obama takes office in January. I do not think anything will be clear by this spring. Bottom line is that this guy does not know what he is talking about and I haven&#8217;t a clue why he even made the national news.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.drudgereport.com/flashrur.htm">DRUDGE REPORT: RUSSIAN ANALYST PREDICTS DECLINE AND BREAKUP OF USA 2008®</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>A leading Russian political analyst has said the economic turmoil in the United States has confirmed his long-held view that the country is heading for collapse, and will divide into separate parts.</p>
<p>Professor Igor Panarin said in an interview with the respected daily IZVESTIA published on Monday: &#8220;The dollar is not secured by anything. The country&#8217;s foreign debt has grown like an avalanche, even though in the early 1980s there was no debt. By 1998, when I first made my prediction, it had exceeded $2 trillion. Now it is more than 11 trillion. This is a pyramid that can only collapse.&#8221;<a href="http://www.drudgereport.com/flashrur.htm"></a></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Asked why he expected the U.S. to break up into separate parts, he said: &#8220;A whole range of reasons. Firstly, the financial problems in the U.S. will get worse. Millions of citizens there have lost their savings. Prices and unemployment are on the rise. General Motors and Ford are on the verge of collapse, and this means that whole cities will be left without work. Governors are already insistently demanding money from the federal center. Dissatisfaction is growing, and at the moment it is only being held back by the elections and the hope that Obama can work miracles. But by spring, it will be clear that there are no miracles.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.drudgereport.com/flashrur.htm"></a></p>
<blockquote><p>He predicted that the U.S. will break up into six parts &#8211; the Pacific coast, with its growing Chinese population; the South, with its Hispanics; Texas, where independence movements are on the rise; the Atlantic coast, with its distinct and separate mentality; five of the poorer central states with their large Native American populations; and the northern states, where the influence from Canada is strong.</p>
<p>He even suggested that &#8220;we could claim Alaska&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img style='float: left; margin-right: 10px; border: none;' src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=ca5e7284bbfb0695d21146c8de12b9db&amp;default=http://www.thepropheticyears.com/graphics/logo.jpg' alt='No Gravatar' width=40 height=40/><p>From what I read the United States is now guaranteeing $7.4 trillion in loans and bailouts and there is no end to this rising figure in sight. Our whole national debt since the nation was born is only $10 trillion. So if what they are doing does not work they could easily double the national debt in a year or two and we would meanwhile still be in a depression. Under those conditions the dollar would be finished in the world and America would be finished as a viable nation.</p>
<p>These people are betting the whole farm that they can get corporations and banks back in the black. If they continue to lose money many trillions of dollars will have to be created out of thin air and the dollar will be devalued until it reaches the price of toilet paper.</p>
<p>I think you should be informed about what the issues are and what is really going on. The Fed and the Treasury have been given unlimited money to go &#8220;all in&#8221; on this last bet to save our economy and they are putting up the whole USA as their collateral.</p>
<p>It was high stake gambling that got us in this mess in the first place. Almost all banks and investment institutions were gambling 20 to 50 times the value of their corporations on hedge funds and derivatives. They kept almost nothing in reserve to cover their loses thinking they could not lose. They borrowed twenty to fifty times what their corporations were worth in order to play at the tables. When the sub-prime market tanked and they lost a few bets they were too leveraged to cover them and they were bankrupted.  Since almost all financial corporations are now in the same boat they are all going bankrupt. The recession and tight lending is also making even the non speculators go bankrupt because so much wealth was removed from the system that these corporations cannot pay or even borrow money to keep their contract commitments. So the government is now stepping in and covering all corporate debt by the government. However, the government has no real money so they are using trillions of dollars of taxpayer IOU&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Those who gambled created huge bubbles that should never have been blown. The deflating of the bubbles is removing much wealth that really existed only because of unrealistic profit expectation. The government should have let these go out of business because once the government gets involved they insure and encourage additional unrealistic speculations.</p>
<p><strong>If the government losses this final bet and the economic system keep deflating it will bankrupt the government of the United States and our government will either default on its debts or they will have to pay off their debtors with monopoly money causing a hyper-inflationary spiral that will bring a hyper-inflationary depression that could only be stopped by complete economic collapse and more depression. That is why they are in a panic. </strong></p>
<p>If the government wins the bet it will be sort of business like usual but the loans from the government still have to be paid back and corporations can only do this by rasing prices, cutting workforce, and cutting pay and benefits. Thus, they will reduce the standard of living for stock holders, wage earners and pensioners and that of course lowers government tax revenues. So government deficits would stay high bringing higher interest rates for anyone still stupid enough to risk lending to the United States. If the United States keeps spending more than it collects, sooner rather than later it will bring a devaluation of the dollar and lower standards of living in the United States.</p>
<p>It is rather strange to me that the same people who allowed, encouraged and participated in the leveraging and speculation of banks and corporations are the same people that the government is now trusting to fix the problem. That is also true of Obama&#8217;s economic team. These are the same people with the same thinking that helped cause the problem in the first place. Now we should all trust them to go to the roulette wheel and bet the farm that the ball will fall on black? The facts are, if it falls on red we are finished as a viable nation in this world and if it falls on white it does not mean there will not be another worse crises a little down the road.</p>
<p>One thing I find incredible is the man who ran on &#8220;change&#8221; is putting all the same establishment people into power. You cannot get real change from the entrenched establishment elite. If they knew anything we would not be in this crises. Instead of leadership in a Democrat controlled Congress you now have a Congress that is giving out their responsibilities and unlimited power to Treasury bureaucrats and a Federal Reserve bank that is owned by the very banks it is bailing out?</p>
<p>One way of making Obama change is to give him a dollar. He will give you ninety cents worth of promises and ten cents in change. I always warn about &#8220;Lips Law&#8221;. Which says, that whatever a politician promises when running for office you will get the opposite after he takes office.</p>
<p>Obama promised change but you will get the same tired Democrat polices of the liberal Left. Probably much like that of Jimmy Carter. Obama&#8217;s slogan was &#8220;yes we can&#8221; but he will find out that he cannot with all those negative thinking people in the United States. Therefore, I predict that by the last year of his first term. That Obama will establish a national year of positive thinking.</p>
<p>Everyone will be told Oprah&#8217;s &#8220;Secret&#8221; that we get what we believe and what we speak in existence. Then for the next year you will only be allowed to say positive things about Obama so he can get reelected unopposed. In his second term he will create a new position more powerful that Hilary&#8217;s. It will be called Secretary of Divine Counsel. All hail Oprah and her divine earthly creation Obama. <img src='http://www.thepropheticyears.com/dddblog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_evil.gif' alt=':evil:' class='wp-smiley' />  OO <img src='http://www.thepropheticyears.com/dddblog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif' alt=':shock:' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>I am adding this paragraph and link to a </strong><strong><a title="Dick Morris speech" href="http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=17DAA801-BA3A-49F8-AB4A-11B2613D1A6B">speech Dick Morris made</a> because his speech really explains everything I said and more in a way that anyone should be able to understand. Believe me he gives a pretty scary picture. Like future hyper-stagflation, and a national health care system that will ration health care for the elderly even after Obama is out of the picture. Morris also thinks Obama will make the same tax mistakes of Herbert Hover. He says you are absolutely giving Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid a total blank check to pass anything in the world without debate if they get the 60 seats in the Senate. He thinks the runoff in Georgia will decide that. I guess Morris thinks Minnesota will be stolen in the recount. I say they already have the 60 votes necessary to not have debate because the two independents will vote with the Democrats and if necessary the Democrats will just change the rules of the Senate. </strong></p>

Americans cannot even pass a basic civics test and the people they elect are worse educated than they are. Perhaps you should have to get a minimum grade on a civics test to prove that you have some knowledge of how our system operates before a person should be allow to vote. The second article just reaffirms the dumbing down of America that explains why Americans elect fools to lead them<strong>. </strong>What does that say about our<strong> </strong>failed public education system<strong>? </strong>All Americans who cannot get a passing grade on a basic civics test and all responsible for our educational system deserve my Demented, Delusional or Dumb Club award.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29582">American Public Flunks Basic Civics &#8211; HUMAN EVENTS</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>*Fully 71 percent of Americans flunked a 33-question civic-literacy survey conducted by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute. Among 2,508 respondents ISI randomly selected, 1,791 failed this test of U.S. historical, political, and economic basics. The average score was just 49 out of 100 &#8212; a solid F. While just 2.6 percent scored Bs on this quiz,</p>
<p>*Just 49 percent of rank-and-file Americans can identify the legislature, executive, and judiciary as our three branches of government.</p>
<p>*Forty percent of college graduates have no idea that corporate profits equal revenues minus expenses. (Thus, congressional demagoguery about “windfall profits” falls on sympathetic ears.) Only 24 percent of college grads realize that the First Amendment forbids the establishment of an official U.S. religion.</p>
<p>*Amazingly enough, this sample’s 164 self-identified elected officials know even less than laymen. They averaged only 44, as the blind lead the bland. Among office holders, 30 percent did not know that the Declaration of Independence heralds “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>“Our study raises significant questions about whether citizens who voted in this year’s landmark presidential election really understand how our system of representative democracy works,” said Dr. Richard Brake, ISI’s Director of University Stewardship.</p>
<p>Lt. General Josiah Bunting III, the chairman of ISI’s National Civic Literacy Board, describes his initial reaction to these results as “somewhat short of despair, certainly one of depression.” He adds: “These questions are designed to elicit answers to fundamental questions. A citizen should know that the president cannot declare war. A citizen should know the circumstances of the founding of the country.”</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>The grim results of ISI’s study reveal a crisis in this nation’s defining concept. In 1776, America’s Founding Fathers broke with Britain and established a country where men and women liberated from monarchic despotism would rule themselves, provided they were equipped with the requisite knowledge and wisdom. Will a people mesmerized by the televised humiliation of wannabe pop stars maintain this essential capacity for self-government? Thomas Jefferson’s warning remains as timely as ever: “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free…it expects what never was and never will be.”</p>

<p><strong><a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29591">Obama-King of Fools &#8211; HUMAN EVENTS</a></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Trying to explain how our economy works and why lowering taxes is always better for them and their country, than imposing higher taxes is an economic bridge too far for many of the Obama sheep. Unfortunately there is no &#8220;See Spot &amp; the Economy Run&#8221; book for the hooked on phonics crowd. Many of these numbskulls can&#8217;t balance a check book or spell &#8220;e-c-o-n-o-m-i-c-s&#8221; but they sure know who will give them stuff. The lie is impossible.</p>
<p>Expecting these idiotscitizens to have analyzed the tax positions of Obama and McCain and arrive at a decision that truly benefits them and America is wishful thinking. The reason is that they know zilch about how the economy operates and worse, don&#8217;t care. Bama will take care of us. Four very scary things-a sow grizzly with cubs at closerange, a coiled rattlesnake in striking distance, me in a rental car in the left lane, and dunces with credit cards.</p>
<p>And indeed they are dunces, products of a tax burning, failed public education system. That is, if they even bothered to complete high school. They don&#8217;t read newspapers or books, and even if they did, I got twenty bucks that says they couldn&#8217;t comprehend what they read. They are morons in the first degree. And clearly, they vote.</p>
<p>If and when President Obama attempts to impose his wrong-headed, punitive tax structure, their stupidity is going to come back to thump them upside their vacuous heads with a very painful crowbar of reality. The economy works in strange and wondrous ways and has a unique way of severely punishing fools. Rare justice is a beautiful thing.</p>
<p>These dunderheads have no clue how the economic mess was largely caused by Democrats, including Obama. But Obama, recognizing how gullible, naive and dumb many of his supporters are, drummed it into them that the economic mess was caused by President Bush and the Republicans and that he is going to give 95% of Americans a tax cut when 40% of Americans don&#8217;t even pay any federal taxes. Investing deception capital in the stupidity of his supporters was a very wise move on Obama&#8217;s part. That is if you don&#8217;t really care about anything except getting elected.</p>
