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.

Youth are pledging allegiance to the greatness of Obama in para-military garb. Small school children are forced to sing songs about Obama by their teachers. People are being intimated by Law enforcement if they do not like what you say about Obama. Obama is being preached in some churches. We hear Slogan’s right out of the Saul Alinsky socalist handbook. Anyone see a problem here? Next some will soon be calling Obama “Dear Leader” It is simply amazing how fast we are moving from freedom toward socialist fascism. God help this nation if Obama gets in power. Don’t think this is all being done by Obama he is just the mouthpiece of Far Left radicals. There is a Far Left fascist and black raciest movement rising in America and they have taking control of the Democratic party.

Of course you should have a good idea what is going to happen in the inner cities and among the Liberals if their Black Messiah does not get elected. The Far Left has itself make that statement in order to intimate you to vote for him. Americans better wake up or your going to see insurrection in this nation.

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.

Not to be outdone by Oregon, California not only has physician assisted suicide they now have nurse-assisted suicide and apparently these physician assistants and nurses without sufficient diagnoses training can decide when you are terminal and pressure depressed people to be drugged into unconsciousness where they will be denied basic life-sustaining necessities such as food and water and die.

Just when you think California can not get any more demented they always prove you wrong. This is just another small step in the elitist world socialist fascist program to eliminate the useless eaters. The bottom-line is always the reason for these things. The California government does not want to pay for their medical care. When you get state controlled socialized medicine, bureaucratic aids will be deciding who lives and who dies just like in Great Great Britain today. This is just another move toward that end.

California approves nurse-assisted suicide

SACRAMENTO – California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has officially approved an assisted suicide measure allowing nurses to sedate, dehydrate and starve depressed or confused individuals they consider to be “terminally ill.”

“AB 2747 pushes suicide through the back door at the hands of non-physicians taking advantage of depressed patients,” he said in a statement. “AB 2747 cheapens the value of human life by endorsing suicide as an option.”

The measure allows physician assistants and nurses to decide whether a person is “terminally ill” and deprive them of basic life-sustaining necessities such as food and water.

“Depressed patients who succumb to this pressure will be drugged unconscious and die from dehydration, usually within five to 10 days,” Thomasson said. “Nothing in the bill prohibits this horror.”

Thomasson said Berg “deceptively changed” the bill to appear that “voluntarily stopping of eating and drinking” and “palliative sedation” no longer were on a list of “symptom management” options.

“The bill does not otherwise attempt to expressly define terminal illness that each of these health care professionals would have to diagnose to trigger the offer of counseling end of life option,” Tran said. “It is not clear why nurse practitioners and physician assistants could make such a significant diagnosis. It is further not clear from the bill how making such significant diagnoses on a case-by-case basis can be done by such practitioners and assistants based on so-called ’standardized procedures and protocols’ not further defined by the bill. The potential effect of AB 2747 is extremely broad and could cause irrevocable harm.”

He said the legislation was sponsored by a group called Compassion and Choices, which formerly was known as the Hemlock Society and has advocated for physician-assisted suicide legislation in the past. A founder of the group has praised Dr. Jack Kevorkian for helping more than 100 people die.

Dozens of individuals and groups representing cancer patients, minority rights groups, members of religious communities and hospitals spoke before the Senate Health Committee in opposition to the idea. Also, numerous hospitals and other organizations opposed the measure, includeing California Disability Alliance, California Family Council, California Nurses for Ethical Standards, Mercy San Juan Medical Center, Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital and St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco.

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.

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.

The insights of Ann Coulter on the Democrats, their profound knowledge of the Bible and their community organizer forefather Saul. (No Jesus was not a community organizer like radical socialist Saul Alinsky or Barack Obama, nor were real Americans.)

Obama: Lucifer Is My Homeboy - HUMAN EVENTS

Obama: Lucifer Is My Homeboy
by Ann Coulter

It’s another election season, so that means it’s time for Democrats to start uttering wild malapropisms about the Bible to pretend they believe in God!

In 2000, we had Al Gore inverting a Christian parable into something nearly satanic. Defending his nutty ideas about the Earth during one of the debates, Gore said: “In my faith tradition, it’s written in the book of Matthew, where your heart is, there is your treasure also.” And that, he said, is why we should treasure the environment.

First of all, people who say “faith tradition” instead of “religion” are always phony-baloney, “Christmas and Easter”-type believers.

Then in 2004, Democratic presidential candidate and future Trivial Pursuit answer Howard Dean told an interviewer that his favorite part of the New Testament was the Book of Job. The reporter should have asked him if that was his favorite book in all three testaments.

David Freddoso’s magnificent new book, The Case Against Barack Obama describes the forefather to “community organizers” like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton — the famed Saul Alinsky.

Alinsky is sort of the George Washington of “community organizers.” If there were an America-hater’s Mount Rushmore, Saul Alinsky would be on it. He tried to hire Hillary to work for him right out of Wellesley. A generation later, those who had trained with Alinsky did hire Obama as a community organizer.

In Freddoso’s book , he quotes from the dedication in the first edition of Alinsky’s seminal book, “Rules for Radicals,” where Alinsky wrote:

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: From all our legends, mythology and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”

Sarah Palin might be just the lucky break the Democrats need. As a staunch pro-lifer, Palin could give Democrats an excuse to steer away from topics they know nothing about, like the Bible , and onto a subject they know chapter and verse, like abortion.

There never was a consensus of climate scientists saying that global warming was man caused. It was all made up by the world power elite controlled bureaucrats and their media.

Read the real story and read about the real consensus of scientists that agree that global warming is not any danger to this planet. In fact, there is now more danger from what now appears to be a global cooling trend.

The liars now have society so brainwashed that now even when the earth is cooling and likely heading toward a dangerously long term cold trend all you still hear in the media and from the politicians is the global warming danger and the CO2 threat.

These greedy power brokers and socialist fascist control freak idiots are putting the world in economic danger and the danger of real energy shortages at a time when the absence of sun spot activity seems to be indicating that we are heading toward a long term global cooling. This energy shortage and cooling could bring energy crises worse than any you can imagine along with world crop failures and famine.

It is time to get these wacko environmentalists off of our back and to put leaders into place that will develop all energy sources regardless of the release of beneficial CO2.

Michael Coffman — Consensus? What Consensus?

CONSENSUS? WHAT CONSENSUS?

By Dr. Michael S. Coffman Ph. D.
September 10, 2008
NewsWithViews.com

We have all heard the litany in the news that 2,500 scientists working in conjunction with the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) agree with a 90 percent certainty that man is causing potentially catastrophic global warming. They even received the Nobel Peace Prize, along with Al Gore, for their exemplary work in the field. This, we are told, is a solid consensus having very few dissenters. The problem is that this so-called consensus is a myth – it never existed. Ever!

Outraged with the sheer duplicity of the press and warming alarmists, OISM launched the same petition again in 2008. They used a subset of the mailing list of American Men and Women of Science, a who’s who of Science, to mail the petition requesting the recipient to sign the petition if agreed that Kyoto was a danger to humanity.

The results, reported last May showed that 31,072 scientists, 9,021 of whom were Ph.D.s, signed the petition. Every signature has been vetted for authenticity.

Ironically, using the Freedom of Information Act, it has been proven that the so-called 2500 scientists the IPCC claims make up their “consensus,” are really not scientists at all. Of that total, only 308 scientists reviewed the 2007 IPCC report. Many of them disagreed, some strongly so. Not surprisingly, all of their comments were rejected and not included in the report. The remaining 2192 so-called scientists came from all walks of life; politicians, government bureaucrats, social workers, and apparently even a hotel manager. Less than 40 of the 308 scientists were generally supportive of the hypothesis, and less than 5 actually endorsed the report. Yet, the report was hailed by the media as the consensus of thousands of scientists.

Putting this into perspective, for every 1 scientist who even slightly favored the IPCC conclusions, 792 signed the petition saying there was no convincing evidence that there is man-made catastrophic global warming. For every Ph.D. that endorsed the IPCC report, 1800 signed the petition. If anything, there is a scientific consensus that man is not responsible for global warming. What did the media do with this potentially explosive story? They ignored it, as usual. A few, like Fox News, were gracious enough to have a byline on their website. Only the conservative media highlighted this phenomenal story.

It would seem the media, and by extension, the people who depend on it for accurate news, would rather believe a lie than the truth. This realization led Dr. Ross McKittrick, who discredited the hockey stick theory of the 2001 IPCC report, to lament, “We are now at the stage where mere facts, reason, and truth are powerless in the face of the global warming propaganda.” It is a scary thought, but he is correct. Ignorance and propaganda now form the basis of our policy on climate change (and many other environmental issues). We are treading a dangerous path.

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 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.

James Lewis understands what is driving the Baby Boomer permissive movement of the Far Left. They are mentally ill people, some even say insane. They are the products of overly permissive parents who thought love meant using no discipline. Instead they produced a generation of rebels that attack everything good in America and in Christianity.

We continually see the product of their not being brought up properly in all their irrational actions, the drugs, and the amoral life choices they make. They pick leaders that are much more radical and insane than they are. I noticed that trend back in the 60’s it was always the most insane in the group that actually led them in their drug gatherings. The rest just followed directions like the brainless zombies that they were - nothing has changed. Of course all the Baby Boomers did not take this path especially in the Christian areas of the country where parents, God, and country are still respected and honored. Thus, there is the difference we still see between those living in rural areas of the nation and those living in most cities.

Boomer zombies were easily brainwashed by media and the left controlled education system and they readily embraced post-modernism. This insanity would redefine all truth to fit their own pragmatism. Since the times of late 60’s these mentally ill have been trying to break down American society to replace the good with what they think is fit in their own amoral demented minds.

The results can now be seen in their pick of leadership for the national Democratic party. They plan to change America into the irrational idealism of socialism that their new guru and change agent promises them. These people do not live in a real world they live on some planet where mom and dad and government takes care of all their wants and needs. On the individual level many are still dependents, they never grew up. On the national security level they hide behind mom’s skirt hoping that the bullies that mom just lectured will see the error of their ways and leave them alone. Did it ever work? It does not work with world bullies either.

In comes Sarah Palin who scares them to death because she represents the good values of America that they long ago rejected for their postmodern “do whatever is right in my own eyes insanity”. You would think that the feminists would embrace her because she will do more to advance the cause of woman in the work force and America than anyone in modern times but they won’t accept her because radical feminism was never about equal rights, it was all about insanity and rebellion against God and men.

Sarah Palin has five children, one with Downs Syndrome so the feminists now say she should be at home taking care of them. Huh? The hypocrites were saying just the oppose before Sarah Palin came on the scene. Who would say that to a man? Sarah has a husband who will spend a lot of time being with the Children. The children will do just fine and you can be sure that will have the best of professional help in raising them. So her being a mother is really not the issue that is just their hypocrisy speaking. They are really scared to death that a woman can by a strong Christian, a strong leader and a mother of five children all at the same time. In feminazies eyes a woman can only become a strong leader if she were not stupid enough to also be a Christian or insane enough to be burdened by becoming a Mother of five. That is why most feminists have few children and why they hate Sarah Palin.

So now the question in the election comes down to are there more sane Americans who want a change back to what America was before the Far Left mentally ill hippie generation subverted it, or is America now filled with mostly insane people who would choose the socialist system of the Far Left loons?

One of the problems with the future of the Far Left America is that the spoiled boomers will want to just take from others and give nothing worthwhile back. However, the home piggy bank that they love to pilferage is now empty.

American Thinker: The End of Boomer Weirdness?

The Western world went from rational thinking to the Planet of the Weird. It’s been slip-slidin’ away ever since. Normal people watch it happening everywhere, and they feel utterly helpless to stem this epidemic weirdness, often rising to the level of criminality.

Our Leftist politicians are all kind of weird. From Howard Dean’s Scream to Obama’s uncontrollable God Complex, from Hillary Who Must be Queen to Bill’s sly seductions, all the way to John Kerry’s delusions of Swiftboat heroics, and Algore’s weird idea that NASA should launch a hundred-million dollar satellite specifically to beam TV pictures of a rotating Planet Earth back to all of us — these people are not planted on terra firma. They have little planetoids going around their heads.

Nancy Pelosi’s bubblehead response to questions about oil drilling is “I’m trying to Save the Planet.” Don’t tell me that’s normal. It’s not even normal in the hare-brained precincts of San Francisco. This is the woman who took it upon herself to negotiate with Bashir Assad as soon as she was elected Speaker, while her sidekick Steney Hoyer went to the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo, to the distress of the Egyptian government. Barack Obama even sent Zbig Brzezinski over to Damascus — to do what? Negotiate with Bashir Assad? Tell him that help was on the way?

The Boomer Left even gave its weirdness a pretentious name: Post-Modernism. Old-fashioned Modernism, according to this tale, is the height of rationality. The ideal of Modernism is good sense, objectivity, reason, logic, and tolerance for competing ideas. Its symbol is the Empire State Building, square, tall, and built to minimize real estate costs on Manhattan.

The US Constitution was built as a bulwark against untrammeled lust for power. The Founders didn’t know Nancy and Harry in person, but they were pretty sure that power-mad demagogues would show up some time. They had studied history and understood human nature. As we can plainly see, they were right.

Post-Modernism leaves all that rational thinking far behind, like Alice tumbling through the looking-glass. The weirdness of the Left is not an accident; our hebephrenic media folk were taught flashy Po-Mo nonsense in their Ivy League classrooms, and they were dumb enough to fall for it. That is why they deliberately abandoned all those old-fashioned newspaper ideals of truth, objectivity and fairness. (And that’s why the Old Media are finally going bankrupt today. Hooray!)

Count Alfred Korzybski is not a household name, but he is relevant here. Korzybski was one of those eccentric Polish geniuses who come along every now and then. His useful contribution to this topic is one word: Unsanity. For Korzybski a society could be unsane without being insane

Our national conversation has become polluted, sabotaged by media weirdness.

This is where the McCain/Palin ticket may be of historic importance, because both the Senator and the Governor are quite sane folks. You can’t survive five years in the Hanoi Hilton if you don’t have a pretty firm handle on concrete reality. You don’t grow up hunting moose in Alaska if you confuse polar bears with teddy bears, as our eco-freaks seem to. Alaska is the polar opposite (so to speak) of Marin County.

If McCain and Palin win this election, we may be able to push the culture back to a level of sanity we haven’t seen for thirty years. Our colleges could start teaching reason and logic again. That would be wonderful.

What the Left in this country does not get is that most of America does not think like big city liberals who parade around like elite know-it-all’s throwing out candy to the welfare beggars that they robbed from the productive mainstream.

Most of the Left either live by controlling other people or by taking government handouts. Most Americans are not like the Left they are much more like Vice President choice Sarah Palin. They want government off their back and they want God and patriotism back in our nation.

They think there is no shame for people to be living in trailer homes since they know that these are generally hard working people and that is all they can afford right now. On the other hand, the Left live in their exclusive mansions with tax write offs or else they live in government subsidized housing. But they love to look down their nose and call mainstream hardworking Americans, rednecks, white trash, trailer trash or country bumpkins.

I believe America wants one of their own in office not another professional politician who will represent only special interest groups. Our founding fathers did not set up a Republic to employ politicians for life. The Representatives are supposed to represent the people and Sarah Palin does. That is why she has an 80 percent approval ratings in Alaska and why she will connect with all but the Liberal brainwashes and their brainwashed subjects.

On election day let it be said that there were more people like Sarah Palin in America then there are Coastal and Big City welfare liberals and their controllers. Because if the Far Left takes control of America we will have traded the free independent Republic of the United States of America for just a handful of Obama’s loose change.

American Thinker: Sarah Palin and the Two Americas

Liberals have long lamented the existence of two nations in America. They are right to do so today, but in a way they never meant. It is not the divide between rich and poor which soon will be causing serious pain on the left. Sarah Palin’s pending nomination for Vice President is exposing the depth of the cultural divide between Middle America and the leftists who have taken over the education, media, and cultural establishment of our country.

The announcement of Palin’s selection by Senator McCain last Saturday reportedly triggered outright laughter in newsrooms across the land, a nearly unanimous opinion that she would be a disaster for McCain. To the sort of people who believe themselves sophisPalin “scandal” magazine coverticated citizens of the world and feel a sense of pride at saving the planet by purchasing carbon offsets, a woman who has borne five children is incomprehensible. Add in moose-hunting, a champion snowmobiler husband and a pregnant 17 year old daughter, and the phrases “white trash” and “trailer trash” are deployed.

A desperate race is underway, with the liberal media scampering to define Sarah Palin to the public as a dangerous religious fanatic and naïve hick, some kind of back woods primitive incapable of effectively discharging the awesome job of president, soon to be thrust upon her as John McCain expires right after his inauguration. Tonight, Governor Palin will have her opportunity to speak directly to the American people, and thanks to the blizzard of critical coverage, she will be no doubt attract an enormous audience.

She has the rarest of qualities: authenticity. Media and Beltway types can’t fathom what that is. It goes right over their heads. Not even on the radar screen. Her multiple facets — beauty queen, moose hunter, mother, member of an Assembly of God Church, and ferocious reformer of corrupt politics may baffle sophisticates, but ordinary Americans see all the pieces fitting together, and they recognize a type of person they know and love.

Republicans are thrilled by what they see in Sarah Palin. Reform Republicanism with a younger generation in charge could knock the left out of power for a generation. The genius Sarah PalinBobby Jindal, out to reform Louisiana as Palin reformed Alaska, awaits the 2012 VP nomination with Sarah at the top of the ticket, if McCain wins this election. Suddenly the Republicans have a claim on being the vote for change.

Despite having been written off as a hopeless cause by political insiders and media know-it-alls, the Grand Old Party is about to renew itself amidst catcalls from the opposition. The same sort of swells who laugh at Sarah Palin as trailer trash categorized Ronald Reagan as an amiable dunce when in a charitable mood, spelled his name Ray-Gun, and felt ashamed to have a graduate of Eureka College, not some Ivy League campus, representing America on the world stage.

Ronald Reagan never let the contempt of the cultural, literary and journalistic elites bother him. He simply spoke over their heads directly to the American people. And changed the world. In Sarah Palin, we may well have a figure able to do the same. All eyes will be on her tonight.

Listen to the words of Chuck Norris about the loose change that jingles in the head of Barack Obama. The problem with Obama’s change is that all it will buy is socialistic big government bondage.

Puff, the magic Obama!

As I listened to Obama’s speech, which mentioned “change” roughly 15 times, I thought, “I wonder how many of those 80,000 in attendance (and millions more watching by television) realize what type of change is really coming with Obama?” I’m not saying change isn’t needed. It is.

I want change in government, but not the type that will increase its role in our lives. I want change for our government to better adhere to and follow the Constitution, but not the type that appoints liberal judges and justices who legislate from the bench. I want change with America’s relationships with the rest of the world, but not the type that further compromises our national security. I want change with America’s role in the Middle East, but not the type that creates instability and gives al-Qaida the upper hand again. I want changes in our medical care, but I don’t want more big government and billions of dollars in new taxes. I want change with America’s deficit, but not the type that increases it. I want change at America’s borders, but not the type that creates more holes for terrorists and other illegal transport. I desperately want change in the tax code, but not one that ultimately raises taxes (only a Fair Tax eliminates most).

But all those types of changes are exactly what Americans will experience if we elect Barack Obama as president: More government, more taxes, more fluid borders and boundaries, more globalization and more risks with terrorism. Let there be no doubt about it – we will have change with Obama, but, America, I assure you it is not the type of change we need or want.

Hillary Clinton once mocked and ridiculed the depth of Obama’s experience and message. Bill Clinton called Barack’s candidacy the “biggest fairy tale” and even recently still couldn’t tell an ABC News correspondent that Obama was yet qualified or ready. Even Obama’s own VP choice, Joe Biden, echoed the same sentiment just a short time ago by saying about Obama: “The presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training.” Biden and the Clintons are still correct. Obama is in reality nothing more than an inexperienced, liberal radical. He can trumpet a campaign of change, but all the political pomp and circumstance can’t change his insides or lack of leadership experience.

As with so many of you, I realized months ago Obama could unfortunately get away with just about anything because too many Americans seem to care only about charisma and the term “change.” It doesn’t matter if Obama plagiarizes speeches, who his pastor and spiritual mentor is for 20 years, that he’s got the most liberal voting record in the Senate, that he refused to wear the American flag as a pin, that he didn’t place his hand over his heart during the national anthem, that his wife has just recently become proud of her country or that he is sympathetic to Muslim terrorist groups, etc. Even a decade ago most could have never imagined appointing such a person to be county supervisor, let alone the president of the United States.

Pat Buchanan brings up a very good question that I have not thought about before. The Liberal and Black expectations are that America must elect Barack Obama. So what will they do if they actually lose the election? After thinking about it I think I can already tell you.

This is not a request by the Far Left, the Blacks and the immoral special interest groups. It is a demand that we elect Barack Obama. Should Obama lose the election they will be claiming racism and election fraud and burning the cities and looting because they were disrespected and the national media will justify their actions.

Understand, that this is not a presidential election it is a coronation of the choosen King of the Liberals, Blacks and all the immoral special interest groups who wants Obama to take change out of your pocket and morality out of your mind in order to bring in a demented socialist utopia of delusion.

The Far Left elite are playing the racist card in order to put into power all their immoral programs through their chosen elitist half black man counting on the fact that race sensitive America would not dare reject a black man. If the nation does not elect Obama on a close election they will say the election was unfair so let the white controlled party and nation be dammed. If the nation does not elect him and the vote is not close they will say let this white racist nation be damned. If the nation elects him and he brings in the wealth transfer and Far Left socialist agenda that Obama stands for, the nation will be damned. So we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t elect Barack Obama.

So what will happen is that should Obama lose you will see Far Left instigation of massive civil disobedience making it necessary for McCain to either appease the Far Left and bring in the same agendas or McCain will move toward a police state, or both. The outcome might be determined by the depth of the civil disobedience.

Make no mistake, white America and all those who oppose Barack Obama’s moral positions are now being held hostage and should we choose not be black mailed the instigated civil unrest might become the biggest issues in this nation. So this election is not all about change or Iraq. There is a hidden agenda coming from the Far left controlled media, secular humanists, radical environmentalists, race baiting black leaders and all the immoral special interest groups that are forcing their agenda and perversions on this nation. They think they cannot lose no matter how this falls out and they are probably right since the moral majority is now a moral minority.

And if Obama loses?

Questions arise. With this immense moral and emotional investment in a Barack victory – by 94 to 1 in one poll black America is behind him — what happens if the nation decides he is too radical, too inexperienced, too callow, too risky to be president?

What happens if the American people reject their marching orders and say no to Barack and black America? What happens if all the hopes and dreams, hype and hoopla, end in disillusionment?

Would the defeat of Barack Obama be taken as an affront to black America? Could we be in for a time of deepening racial division rather than healing? Could we be in for a long, hot autumn like the long, hot summers some of us recall from 40 years ago?

One black preacher here suggested as much to me.

No candidate has ever been nominated by a major party with fewer credentials or a weaker claim to the presidency, or more doubts as to his core beliefs. If Obama wins, the country could be in real trouble. And if he loses, the country could be in real trouble.

What the media celebrate today, they may rue tomorrow.

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.

This articles sure has a whole lot of economic information and it is easily understood with the aid of his graphs. It does not paint a pretty economic picture for the U.S. for the next few years. Being a realist I agree with what it implies. I think we have yet to feel the real economic pain. If you want to look at the reality of it all take a good look at the data in the article.

The economy probably will be even worse than anyone imagines because we can already see that government is going to screw up the economy even more through failed socialistic interventions. Government also helped make the bubble in the first place by government intervention of easy credit and overspending or it would have corrected itself long ago. The bubble will completely deflate and go at least 10 or 20 percent negative to what it was at the start of the bubble before any balance is restored, if that is even possible in this generation.

The only thing that might allow you to think the economy is not going in the tank fast is inflation but you will soon figure out that you are in an economic decline when your income is not keeping up with rapidly rising prices. Of course the economic downturn could turn into a world price war and a full fledged world depression and then we will not see stagflation but instead we will see a great depression like in the 1930’s with low prices but few jobs and little income to buy anything.

I guess it is possible that we could have some economic miracle but with socialists in control of congress I personally do not see how that is possible.

The Great Consumer Crash of 2009

* by James Quinn
* August 19, 2008

James Quinn is senior director of strategic planning, the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

“It is easy to ignore the storm if you look at the opposite horizon. When the storm reaches your location there can be no more ignorance.”

I hate to tell you, but the storm has reached your location and it is a Category 5 hurricane. The levees are leaking. Ignore it at your own peril. The 6,000 sq ft McMansion buying, BMW leasing, $5 Starbucks latte drinking, granite countertop upgrading, home equity borrowing days are coming to an end. The American consumer will not go without a fight. For the last seven years the American consumer has carried the weight of the world on its shoulders. This has been a heavy burden, but when you take steroids it doesn’t seem so heavy. The steroid of choice for the American consumer has been debt. We have utilized home equity loans, cash out refinancing, credit card debt, and auto loans to live above our means. It has been a fun ride, but the ride is over. We can’t get steroids from our dealer (banks) anymore.

There has been and will be resistance to the inevitable deep recession that is coming. The American consumer is not cutting back willingly. They are being dragged kicking and screaming towards the joys of frugality. The “material generation” needs to dematerialize. My biggest concern is that our politician leaders and their cronies running our government will continue to try and reverse the normal capitalistic course of recession and expansion. Companies need to fail, housing needs to find its bottom based on supply, demand and price. Those who gambled must be allowed to lose and suffer the consequences. If the government attempts to shift the losses to those who lived lifestyles of thrift, an angry uprising will ensue. Government intervention in this natural process could lead to a decade long depression. Let’s hope that reasonable heads prevail.

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.
