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Instead of looking at “outdated criteria,” such as the mortgage applicant’s credit history and ability to make a down payment, banks were encouraged to consider nontraditional measures of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.

This book by  Larry Schweikart sounds like a great piece of work that needs to be told to the American people. This interview gets into some of the liberal lies about American History and they are well worth the reading. Just think your children are reading the lies in their schools as if it were the truth.

48 Liberal Lies About American History
By Jamie Glazov
FrontPageMagazine.com | Friday, September 12, 2008

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Larry Schweikart, a professor of history at the University of Dayton. He is the co-author with Michael Allen of the best-selling book, A Patriot’s History of the United States. His follow-up book, America’s Victories, led President Bush to invite him to the Oval Office for a discussion of history. His new book is 48 Liberal Lies About American History.

FP: What do you hope your book will help achieve?

Schweikart: I hope parents will at least look at their kids’ books, and I hope students will think about some of the junk they are getting from their books. Oh, and I hope they also buy a real U.S. history textbook, A Patriot’s History of the United States.

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.

Frank Salvanto says we have a perfect storm coming from two enormous threats. The denial of the Islamic threat and the fifth column called the progressive Left. This storm will destroy this nation if the American people continue to ignore the threat. I would also add a third and fourth enormous threat. The economic storm brought on by debt and greed, and the perversion storm rapidly developing out of moral relativism. Wake up America! There is a perfect storm brewing and its not going to be a tempest in a tea cup.

The New Media Journal | Ignoring ‘The Perfect Storm’ at Our Own Peril by Frank Salvato

The mainstream media and the presumptive nominee from the Democrat Party have done a pretty good job of steering the electorate’s attention to issues of a domestic nature. It wasn’t hard to do. With gasoline prices hovering around four dollars a gallon, combined with the self-induced but limited financial crisis created by proprietary lenders and a healthcare system that’s being raped by grifting lawyers and robber-baron insurance companies, it is easy to understand why voters would fall prey to diversionary tactics of the political power seekers. But we do so at the expense of the well being of our nation. We do so ignoring “the perfect storm.”

politicians consistently put politics, power and financial special interests before the issues most important to the American people: A small, elite group of Progressives, beholden to the environmental lobby, uses their governmental powers to usurp the will of the people by refusing to allow drilling in places we know there are oil deposits; politicians on both sides of the aisle pander to an illegitimate voting demographic in the illegal alien population for fear that if they stand up for America’s sovereignty they may be voted out of office by those who shouldn’t be voting in the first place; politicians of both major political parties refuse to banish the earmark and reserve the right to raid the government treasury to provide bribes to their constituencies in an effort to garner re-election; the tax code continues to overburden the middle class and penalize the family while expanding entitlement increases the number of those feeding from the public trough and the mega-rich evolve into an elitist class; etc, etc, etc…

Our nation faces two enormous threats, one externally and one from within, and we do so without a proper understanding of why we should be fighting them both with every fiber of our collective being.

why would any elected official, true to good government, deny the enormity of the threat posed to the United States and the West by radical Islamist elements?

The second serious threat is less immediate and less violent, but caustic and lethal to the American philosophy and the continued existence of our country just the same. This threat comes from the American Fifth Column; the threat from within.

Emanating from the failed ideologies of Marxist-Leninst socialism and communism, the American Fifth Column dedicates itself to the transformation of the United States from a representative republic to a system of democratic socialism. This movement is personified by the progressive-left that has effectively hijacked the Democrat party.

Through unconstitutional entitlement programs and the legislation of inequitable tax burden on those who have successfully employed the capitalist system to their benefit, those leading the American Fifth Column strive to artificially create economic equality through the redistribution of wealth. Ironically, those who lead the American Fifth Column have established an elitist class for themselves, as most of them are millionaires (like Nancy Pelosi) and even billionaires (like Peter Lewis and George Soros). They do so to reduce the “influential footprint” of the United States on the world in a quest for a one-world order administered by the elite.

Interestingly, the progressive-leftists of the American Fifth Column are playing the roll – either unwittingly or recklessly – of the useful idiot to radical Islam’s quest for a global Caliphate.

So, the people of the United States face these two incredibly potent threats – each which could affect the end of the great American experiment – yet we are apathetic to the threat. Why? Because we face these challenges constitutionally illiterate.

Our educational system has been hijacked by progressive-left ideologues.

It is time that parents from all over the country – all over the world – embrace the idea that we have to take charge of educating our children.

Most people in California obviously want this or they would not be electing into office liberal “progressive” representatives that keep passing amoral laws like this. This bill passed by 2/3rds majority in both houses. Anyone who thinks the “progressive” governor Schwarzenegger will not sign this bill is delusional and Californians put him in office. So what can you do if you disagree with celebrating homosexuality in your schools? You can let your kids be brainwashed, put them in private schools, home school them, convert many in California to true Christianity or move to a state where the people are not so “progressively” perverted. I have come to the conclusion that those who think they can stop amoral agendas in California without converting a substantial number of voters to true Christianity are now simply delusional. After all Californian’s are electing the liberal “progressive” politicians that are legislating the homosexual agenda

Legislators tell school kids to celebrate homosexuality

Only a year after banning all negative messages about homosexuality in
public schools throughout the state, the California Legislature now is
ordering school children to celebrate “gay” lifestyle choices.

“If signed into law, AB 2567 will mean an official day commemorating
homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality in California government
schools,” said Randy Thomasson, president of the Campaign for Children
and Families.

Thomasson said the passage by lawmakers of AB 2567 will require all California
public schools to “conduct suitable commemorative exercises” in honor
of the anti-religious, sexual-anarchy agenda of Harvey Milk, the late
San Francisco supervisor who was a homosexual activist.

The California Assembly approved the plan 43-26 and the Senate 22-13, with
both votes along party lines of Democrats supporting the homosexual
agenda.

The plan comes on the heels of last year’s school sexual indoctrination
laws, Thomasson said. “When fully implemented, SB 777 and AB 394 will
teach children in California government schools to support
homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality via instructional
materials, programs and activities, and school ’safety’ guidelines,” he
said. “In addition, the California State School Board this year
implemented SB 71 requiring public schools that provide sex education
to promote unmarried sexual activity with no restraints other than
mutual consent.”

The CCF announcement noted some of Milk’s statements included a blanket
condemnation of religion, which he described as “true perversion;” a
mandate to “declare yourself gay or lesbian,” and promotion of same-sex
marriages, which were created by the California Supreme Court in May
but are being challenged in the November election.

“This bad bill will teach impressionable schoolchildren the anti-religious,
homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda of Harvey Milk,” said Thomasson.
“For the love of God, parents and their children, we implore Gov.
Schwarzenegger to veto AB 2567.”

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.

It will be interesting to see how the liberal socialists will get by the First Amendment to the U.S constitution when they pass their hate speech laws that they are all but certain to pass under the next administration.

Ultimately the hate speech laws will be tested and decided by the Supreme Court on its constitutionality. The court by this point will be Liberal. The judges will then just redefine the Bill of Rights in the Constitution to what they want it to say rather than what it clearly says. Its already happened in the Supreme Court of California.

Once the Constitution can be redefined by a few people in black robes it will have lost its meaning and will be subverted. Then we will see tyranny right here in the good old U.S.A.

After those laws are passed and upheld you can be certain that the special interest groups will be monitoring everything that is said anywhere and turning anything that hurts their feelings over to the thought police for enforcement and punishment.

Then it will be time for the oppressed to overthrow this government tyranny or start a new free union of states that abides by the Constitution of the U.S.

As everyone who ever served in the military, government and police forces knows, you have already sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. We can read for ourselves what the Bill of Rights says and no redefining of the Bill of Rights is going to change the self-evident truths of the wording within those bills passed by U.S. constitutional amendment.

If the liberal progressives want to do away with our rights they need to do it by passing a constitutional amendment to do that but they know it will never pass. So, the domestic enemies of our system will try legislating unconstitutional laws and then stacking the justice system with like minded people.

If you swore to uphold the Constitution uphold it! Do not allow any MCcainiac or Obamanation government give us tyrants and thought police that will redefine the self-evident truths of the U.S. Constitution and its government of the people, by the people, and for the people!

Christian Worldview Network - Brannon Howse - Free Speech???

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” – The First Amendment

Perhaps the most important basis for a free society is the right of free political and religious speech. In every totalitarian society there is an oppression of these two foundations of freedom. Why? The answer is simple. Those in power who have a tyrannical motivation are afraid the masses may be swayed by ideas that are contrary to their indoctrination. Thus any opposing ideas become the weapon of freedom that must be stopped. The basic understanding of the power of free speech was recognized by our founding fathers as a deterrent to tyrannical government.

Due to this relativistic thinking problem the society is bending concerning these rights. That is a fact that should scare anyone who holds “these truths to be self evident.” The abridging of free religious and political speech is an affront against the liberty of all. Why is it a problem for all? It is a problem for all because once the freedom is gone it is gone for everyone. When a system turns to tyranny, all people are caught in its grip and become part of the totalitarian system.

Due to the insanity of the left, liberals, homosexual activists, and rabid race baiters, it has now become more acceptable to limit the freedom of political and religious speech. The idea that the government should have the right to punish people simply based on their thoughts and ideas is a complete abandonment of the Constitutional principles this nation was founded on.

Those who want the so called “hate speech” legislation are directly attacking one of the most sacred freedoms we have. The truth is that you have a right to hate me but you do not have a right to act out on that hate in any way that violates my person, property, or rights. You see, we must not legislate thoughts or we are destined to have all free thoughts at risk.

Those of you who are reading this who believe in “hate speech legislation” need to rethink your position. Who gets to decide what “hate” is? Do you want the government running around punishing people for what they say and think? What happens when someone decides that your speech is hateful? Are you ready for them to limit your thinking and expression? In order for freedom to work, there must be the right to speak unpopular positions without threats and intimidation from the government.

The first amendment of the Constitution says “Congress shall make no law.” How is it that Congress is attempting to make a law limiting the speech of Americans? How is it that so many people seem to think that this is a good idea? Why is there no outrage from the masses about this blatant attack on our foundational liberties? Why? Because most people have no idea what the Constitution says or why it says it. Most Americans have been dumbed down to the point where they simply do not grasp the principles of liberty that America was founded on.

It is clear what is really going on in the push for “hate speech” legislation. The left wants to stop preachers from preaching against homosexuality. There is also a Gestapo like insanity against anyone who would dare to criticize a racial minority. If for example a person is speaking out against affirmative action racial preferences, who’s to say that is not hateful? If my speech offends you, that is the price of freedom. If you do not wish to pay that price, I suggest you move to one of the many totalitarian states where your every word and movement are controlled.

Since Americans depend on government more each day the war against our liberty has begun. Some of us are fighting against the powers of tyranny. I hope you join us in the fight for the heart and soul of our country before the powers of socialism and liberal social decay completely overtake us. Wake up and smell the truth. The time to fight is now!

Nothing like Liberal unity to bring everyone together. They even recognize the fascist ways of their own party.

Backlash: 2 million angry Democrats reject Obama?

More than two million angry Democrats are rejecting Sen. Barack Obama as the likely Democratic nominee for the presidency this year, according to a new protest organization.

“I hate to use this word but it’s fascist, and that’s the approach they’re taking to silence any Hillary Clinton supporters,” Will Bower, co-founder of PUMA/Just Say No Deal, an exploding coalition of voters who say they have raised $10 million in just days to pay down Clinton’s campaign debt.

“Barack Obama wants to give his acceptance speech in a stadium because he intends to minimize any pro-Hillary supporter dissent. It’s not because he wants to include more people. He knows that if they pull any shenanigans at convention, the Hillary delegates will walk out, and they don’t want that to be seen or heard. They’re bringing as many Obama supporters as they can to fill that stadium. It’s fascism,” he said.

Now more than two million, based on donation and other records, are determined to protest the nominating process and push for an open convention in Denver this August.

“The seeds of discontent for the birth of the PUMA/Just Say No Deal movement were planted during Barack’s poor performances at the debates, the media assault on Clinton after Iowa, Obama’s arrogance on the campaign trail, and the DNC’s selective application of its own rules,” Bower explained.

Bower said Hillary supporters were so incensed with the DNC’s action they wrote about it at their blogsites. The issue went viral, spreading rapidly across the Internet. One irate blogger came up with the acronym PUMA after blogging “Party Unity, My A**.” The abbreviation eventually evolved into the puma cat logo used at multiple sites.

It took only days for PUMA and dozens of other grassroots organizations and political activists to discover one another and convene a conference call. They agreed to band together and call the movement Just Say No Deal.

Well you knew it had to come to this. Just wait until the liberals pass their hate speech laws. I guarantee the time will come when certain passages in the Bible will be censored and it won’t just be homosexual passages. All sin passages will be censored and anything else that might offend someone and it won’t just be book publishers that are sued and arrested.

‘Gay’ man sues Bible publishers

A homosexual man who has a blog on Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign website is suing two major Christian publishers for violating his constitutional rights and causing emotional pain, because the Bible versions they publish refer to homosexuality as a sin.

Bradley LaShawn Fowler, 39, of Canton, Mich., is seeking $60 million from Zondervan and another $10 million from Thomas Nelson Publishing in lawsuits filed in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, the Grand Rapids Press reported.

Fowler filed his claim against Grand Rapids-based Zondervan Monday, alleging its Bibles’ references to homosexuality as a sin have made him an outcast from his family and contributed to physical discomfort and periods of “demoralization, chaos and bewilderment,” the paper said.

He filed suit against Tennessee publisher Thomas Nelson in June.

Cal Thomas is correct. Faith-based government programs sound good on the surface but the grants will soon start going to the organizations that are pleasing government by promoting his socialist agenda. This falls under the category of not being unequally yoked with unbelievers. Obama has no problem proposing faith-based programs because he knows it will be a way to fund the agenda of liberal buddies like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson while allowing him to deceive the evangelicals by pretending to be behind Christian programs.

When Christians Cozy Up to Government « FOX Forum « FOXNews.com

when government involves itself in such things. Faith becomes just another political football with government doling out “alms” to whoever is more favorably disposed to the administration and party in power. Organizations that have not been as supportive can be punished by having their grants rescinded. It’s a lose-lose situation.

If America goes any further Left all those things Dennis Prager listed as future realities will be eagerly celebrated by the demented, delusional and dumb subjects of the fascist state that they created. If America did not want big government, and big brother socialism she would not be voting these people into power.

What it comes down to is that the people have been brainwashed in schools, media and through their own parent’s  lifestyle to deny God and to rely on socialism administrated by big government. The people of this nation now want and expect government to take care of them from birth to death. What they have not been taught and what has not been demonstrated to them is that they will eventually have to pay the bills for the spending spree.

Now they have no problem just creating new government social programs because they think someone else is picking up the tab. Well, no they ain’t and they haven’t been for a long time. The bill is all on their credit card and soon they will not even be able to pay the interest payment on the debt that is racked up. The impending one hundred trillion dollar price tag for the American social state that they wanted will bring them to poverty in this generation.

The day the O.J. Simpson verdict was announced, I said to my then-teenage son, “David, please forgive me. I am handing over to you a worse America than my father handed over to me.”

Unfortunately, I still feel this way.

One might argue that these are the same laments that every previous older generation has expressed — “Ah, when I was young…” But in America, that has not been the case. In America, the older generations tended to say the opposite — “When I was a kid, things were worse.”

Can we return to the America of my youth? No. Can we return to the best values of that time? Yes. But not if both houses of Congress, the presidency and the Supreme Court move the country even further leftward. If that happens, many of the above noted changes will simply be accelerated: More laws restricting “offensive” speech will be enacted; litigation will increase and trial lawyers will gain more power; the American military will be less valued; trees will gradually replace the flag as our most venerated symbol; schools will teach even less as they concentrate even more on diversity, sexuality and the environment; teenage sex will be increasingly accepted; American identity will continue to be replaced by ethnic, racial, gender or “world citizen” identity; and the power of the state will expand further as the power of the individual inevitably contracts. It’s hard to believe most Americans really want that.

If you want to know why it is costing you $4 a gallon for gas the person responsible can usually be found in your own mirror. It is the people that you elect to office that has allowed us to become hostages to OPEC and their extortion. We have plenty of energy resources right here in North America that could be developed at about $30 a barrel and we have enough of it to last for hundreds of years but our government is standing in the way.

A Conservative Energy Agenda - HUMAN EVENTS

North America’s energy resource base is enormous. It includes the world’s largest oil shale deposits, the world’s largest coal deposits, and the world’s largest oil sands reserves. Combined, these resources are sufficient to power North America for centuries, giving us plenty of time to transition to new energy sources as they become affordable. Meanwhile, all of North America would benefit from more indigenous energy production. A coordinated effort between the United States, Canada and Mexico — could help unlock North American energy policy and put us once again in charge of our own destiny. Along the way, it would help with our illegal immigration problem; if Mexico strengthens its economy through energy development, there will be more opportunities for work at home. Currently, that money is going to the far-flung reaches of the world.

We also need to repeal Section 526 which prohibits federal contracting for “nonconventional” sources of petroleum. This section, inserted by Congressman Henry Waxman, stops U.S. federal agencies from contracting to buy the frontier fuels of the future based on how they are made. Investment in frontier fuels will play a critical role in reducing America’s dependence on foreign sources of energy. Advanced fuel technologies, including coal-to-liquids, natural gas-to-liquids, fuel from oil shale, and fuel from Canadian oil sands are specifically targeted by Section 526. This makes no sense.
America cannot run the world’s greatest economy on expensive and imported energy for much longer. It is time to use our own supplies, and America has no shortage. We simply lack the political will to push government aside and put Americans to work producing them. As soon as that happens, our frontier energy sources — which rival those of any other continent in the world — could set America on a path to a stronger, more robust and more secure future. But first, government has got to get out of our way.

I guess you can look at this a couple of ways. One way is that the party puts forth any candidate they want by any rules they dictate even if it means changing the rules in the middle of the game. So watch out who you allow to run the party. Why nut case Howard Dean is allowed to run the Democratic party is beyond me.

The other way of looking at it is that the primaries are really a national election and that each vote should count. In that case it did not happen in two heavily populated states with the democrats.

It is also true that the Media was working to promote one candidate over the others making the outcome much more favorable to their liking. If the deck is going to be stacked by the hard Left socialists in power positions we might as well be in Russia. Democracy in that case is nothing but a facade to make people think that they have control when all control really comes from the power elite’s ability to misinform the people and give out selective information to manipulate.

Now you know why all surviving candidates of the major parties for President are socialists in a middle right nation. And you know why the Media is lining up behind the most Far Left socialist of them all. So much for Democracy in America!

Dems take cue from the Soviets

How many times on Saturday did we hear the phrase that should make every free citizen shiver, “The true Will of the People.” “We know what the voters of Michigan or Florida intended to do, because we have the exit polls, or we have the MSNBC poll, or we have the anecdotal evidence.” Instead of simply counting votes, which is the only fair thing to do with votes in any election anywhere, the members of the Democratic Party Rules Committee deem it in their purview to decipher votes, interpret votes, translate votes – anything but count them! Then, to add fantasy to falsehood, they insisted on conjuring votes that were never even cast. After all, so goes their illogic, if voters didn’t show up who otherwise would have, its up to the committee members to discern how they would have voted if they did.

The fact that this committee of self-appointed commissars met at all with the intention to nullify or change election results is appalling enough. The additional fact that the media were silent in the face of this monstrosity is cause for grave concern.

Studying the tapes of Russert, “Meet the Press,” MSNBC, Chris Matthews, CNN and the political consultants at CNN, one will discover the frequent instances where these most interested partisans announced the primaries over, anointed Obama and called on Clinton to quit or repeatedly echoed the calls of those who did.

Then there are the proceedings of Saturday’s committee, replete with phrases, quotes and assertions that are nearly word for word identical to proceedings of the Soviet Central Committee, texts from meetings of the Comintern and speeches from Fidel Castro or the Sandinistas. Long live the dictatorship of the Proletariat!

If anyone has shown their true colors in this election season, it’s the left-wing radicals who control the Democratic Party and their partisan allies in the press.

Not only are we moving toward energy rationing we are moving toward a government of socialist control freaks that intend to control every aspect of our lives. They already have control over one third of the population of the earth and if you think it will not come here with the Far Left loons that you are listening to and electing to government just wait a few years. You will find out differently when you become a slave of the state.

RealClearPolitics - Articles - Moving Toward Energy Rationing

For a century, an ambitious, arrogant, unscrupulous knowledge class — social planners, scientists, intellectuals, experts and their left-wing political allies — arrogated to themselves the right to rule either in the name of the oppressed working class (communism) or, in its more benign form, by virtue of their superior expertise in achieving the highest social progress by means of state planning (socialism).

Two decades ago, however, socialism and communism died rudely, then were buried forever by the empirical demonstration of the superiority of market capitalism everywhere from Thatcher’s England to Deng’s China, where just the partial abolition of socialism lifted more people out of poverty more rapidly than ever in human history.

Just as the ash heap of history beckoned, the intellectual left was handed the ultimate salvation: environmentalism. Now the experts will regulate your life not in the name of the proletariat or Fabian socialism but — even better — in the name of Earth itself.

Environmentalists are Gaia’s priests, instructing us in her proper service and casting out those who refuse to genuflect. (See Newsweek above.) And having proclaimed the ultimate commandment — carbon chastity — they are preparing the supporting canonical legislation that will tell you how much you can travel, what kind of light you will read by, and at what temperature you may set your bedroom thermostat.

State after State have lost their ability to reason. Believe me this is just the start of this insanity. New York today also said they will recognize Homosexuals as married people. The new Governor of New York has a personal history similar to Obama’s with his drug use etc. and his Far Left social policies are the same. Lets face it the Far Left now has free reign to establish social policy in this nation and they will bring us to Sodom and Gomorrah because even the “Christians” have been silenced.

Cover up! Locker rooms going coed

A new “transgender nondiscrimination” bill pending in Colorado, which would make it illegal to deny a person access to public accommodations including restrooms and locker rooms based on gender identity or the “perception” of gender identity, is one signature away from being law.

Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, a Democrat, has one week to sign or veto Senate Bill 200, recently passed by both the House and the Senate. The bill, titled “Expanded Discrimination Prohibitions,” holds this definition:

“‘Sexual orientation’ means a person’s orientation toward heterosexuality, homosexuality, bisexuality, or transgender status or another person’s perception thereof.”

According to the bill, business owners and managers of restaurants, gyms, barber shops, massage parlors, etc., and managers of “public [facilities] of any kind whether indoor or outdoor” cannot deny a person employment or access to a facility based on gender identity or that “perception.”

From what I read the FCC want to control talk radio through advisory boards. The advisory boards of course will be stacked with politically correct “progressives” who will not approve any talk radio they do not like. Tell the FCC you are against this or you may be listening to 24 hours of the Jerry Springer show.

NWV News — FCC Rule Endangers Conservative Talk Radio

In a stunning warning to all Americans, the non-partisan English First warned fans of national and local conservative talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Dr. James Dobson, Laurie Roth and other conservative talk shows that a proposed Federal Communications Commission regulation could very well drive their favorite programs off the air.

“This is serious business! The FCC that is part of the executive branch — in essence — is taking control of the airwaves, rather than allowing the US Congress and Senate to propose legislation, openly debate that legislation and then vote on it. One can compare what’s being done in the name of fairness with Stalinism,” warns conservative political strategist Mike Baker.

“If you look at who is pushing this so-called Fairness Doctrine, most likely you’ll find center-left advocates in politics, government, academia, and the press,” adds Baker.

On January 24, 2008, the Federal Communications Commission published a “Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” in the Federal Register which, if ultimately adopted, would impose a back-door version of the discredited “Fairness Doctrine” upon America’s airwaves. The proposal-notice was so obscure that few even knew it existed, according to journalism Professor Jeff Hines of NYCC in Manhattan.

One of the key elements being bandied by the FCC in their plans for information control is “the advisory board system.”

According to FCC officials, these advisory boards “should include representatives of all segments of the community,” a requirement which would empower self-appointed “community leaders,” such as representatives of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) or the Center for American Islamic Relations (CAIR), to discourage commercial radio stations from airing discussions of controversial matters such as the costs of illegal immigration or the meaning of jihad.

“In other words, it’s a politically-correct scheme to silence dissenters and manipulate information gathering and dissemination,” said Mike Baker.

It is good to give money to help people but government social welfare programs rob working people and enslaves others to a life of dependency. Obama in his Global Poverty Act wants to transfer almost one percent of our GDP to third world governments through the U.N. Much of that money never gets to the people it just supports the Tyrants of the world and pays for their armies that keep the people enslaved. It also undermines Christian missionary efforts. Tell Congress not to support this act.

Obama’s foreign aid corrupts absolutely

Americans are increasingly enamored of the failed idea of forcing the working class to give to the poor, and not because of academe, the media or other secular institutions, but in large part because of their religious leaders, including “America’s pastor,” who actually urge Christians to support world socialism schemes like the Global Peace Plan.

These strange “Christians” despise their flocks, ignoring that Christians have been voluntarily giving of their own substance to the poor for 2,000 years, without relying on government for help to do so. And they ignore the biblical mandate to give in love, not extort gifts from helpless taxpayers.

Thus, they fly in the face of Paul’s words:

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor… and have not charity (love), it profiteth me nothing. – I Corinthians 3:13

Beyond that, by politicizing charity and impoverishing Americans (to the tune of over $10,000 per person), the Global Poverty Act would make it more difficult for Christians to continue being the most generous people in the world. Instead, we would make them unwilling donors to the world’s most corrupt charity, the U.N.

What can you do?

Send a link to this column to as many people as you can.

Then call your senator and tell him/her that Obama’s global welfare plan will hurt black Africans just as national welfare hurt black Americans.

Obama will lead us into stagflation worse than Jimmy Carter but we are going to have stagflation under any of the major party choices for President. The debt in this country makes it inevitable but it will be worse if the Keynesian’s get in and try to create a social state with new taxes and government printing presses.

Obama’s Excremental Economics - CWN

The key elements of Senator Obama’s proposed economic policies, as in
the New Deal and the stagflation of the 1970s, are much higher taxes,
along with a pervasive increase of business regulations and price
controls in healthcare and energy (which sharply depress business
activity and employment rates), full-frontal embrace of labor unions
(which will push up wages and benefits to levels deterring profitable
expansion of industrial production), and massive new government
deficit spending (which will accelerate the already dangerously high
rate of inflation and devaluation of the dollar). Carried out as he
proposes, Senator Obama’s polices will lead us into the swamp of
stagflation.

All I can say is good luck. The decleration of Interdependence was already ratified by the leftward shift of Americans. The only way interdependence will not impact independent freedom loving people is if we all get together somewhere and build Fort Defiance.

The meaning of ‘interdependence’

What does interdependence mean in the real world? What does it mean to Brown and its proponents in the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bilderbergers and the Davos gang?

It means bleeding U.S. taxpayers for welfare-like programs not just for Americans – but for the whole world. It means throwing billions, probably trillions, at the poorest nations run by some of the worst tyrants.

It means making the reduction of “greenhouse gases” the No. 1 environmental agenda item for the developed world – even though the planet is not really warming up as a result of anything mankind is doing.

It means tying the hands of countries like the United States when it comes to defense – mandating only “multilateral” military actions with the consensus of those who hate America.

I don’t know about you, but if the choice is between busybody internationalism or isolationism, I think I will choose isolationism every time.

I don’t want to live in an interdependent world. I want to live in freedom. I want to live in a nation that protects its sovereignty. I want to live in a nation that reveres its independence.

This is a good article. He makes the case that liberal presidents (or vice Presidents) continually try to redeem themselves and in doing so continually show us their flaws.

American Thinker: The Democrats’ Ex-Presidents

Why is it that so many Democratic leaders find it necessary to continue making spectacles of themselves after they leave office?

It’s an exclusively Democratic trait — you don’t find Republicans acting this way.

the liberal pol demands another turn at the plate, another opportunity to prove himself, to demonstrate to the world that he was right all along. And since he’s not alone on stage, since he’s competing with somebody else who actually is president at the moment (and may in fact be accomplishing things), he picks the most outlandish, fantastic, comic-book tasks imaginable. Tasks beyond the reach of any single human individual, perhaps any nation. Carter wants to be the universal peacemaker and guarantor of democracy. Gore would like to save the planet. And Bill… in attempting to convince the nation that Hillary is presidential material, he has the most thankless task of all.

Grown men, trying to convince the world that they’re supermen - it’s sad, and pointless, and more than a little ridiculous.

We’ll be seeing more of it. Having accomplished little or nothing, liberal presidents are going to be left unsatisfied and restless, and will hit the streets in an effort to do something about it. In extreme cases, like that of Jimmy Carter, they are going to blame everyone else in the world but themselves, and make the world pay for it.
