After all these months of vetting (I hate that word but it seems fitting for politicians) candidates it looks like the Republicans end up with two losers. Romney could not even beat McCain in the 2008 run, and Gingrich did not even run in 2008 because he had too much baggage to carry. So what has changed?<\/p>\n<p>It seems to me that we have another failure to get most Americans to critically think about the leaders that they will vote for. Americans love to give proper respect when the flag is shown and they like to sing God Bless America. However, it seems that most people in this country will do nothing to keep America the land of the free and the home of the brave or blessed by God. Most people living in America today are about as informed as Rosie, as deep as their flat TV screen and as obedient to God as ancient Israel. So why should God bless America?<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s face it, your county dog catcher should be able to beat Obama in an election. Obama is the most anti-American president that we have ever had. Thanks to his &#8220;leadership&#8221; we are in the midst of economic policy and foreign policy that will soon bring total disaster on this nation. Even so, Americans can only blame themselves for putting him in office. Now, these same apathetic, irresponsible or deceived people still do not know, or do not care enough to elect someone who would try to restore America to a constitutional Republic of limited government.<\/p>\n<p>So here we are, stuck with the same political choices that we had in 2008. Neither of the Republican front-runners is likely to beat Obama and even if they should, it will not go the way you think. Romney just means more liberal politics and Gingrich means elitist controlled big government that will attempt to control everyone and everything .<\/p>\n<p>What we really need is a return to our constitutional and Christian roots not the &#8220;third way&#8221; globalist policies of a newt that continually changes colors with the political background. The &#8220;third way&#8221; that Gingrich has supported has been said to be nothing but Communism with vision. Actually, Fascism would be the best description for Newt&#8217;s vision, except that most everyone in this country has been brainwashed to believe that Fascism is right-wing conservationism. However, in reality Fascism is socialist big government controlling everyone and everything for the collective good of the Borg.<\/p>\n<p>True conservatives know that our constitutional republic was designed to give God-given inalienable rights and liberties to individuals. Our constitutional republic was set up to prevent government from putting people under government tyranny. We conservatives believe we need to stop the government abuses of our Constitution and get back to a constitutional republic of a government that is of the people, and for the people, and by the people, rather than for government self-interest and special interests.<\/p>\n<p>It seems the conservative Tea Party movement only lasted about as long as a British afternoon tea party. At one time the leaders in the Tea Party were talking about starting their own party but they joined with the Republicans. Now they do not even have enough influence in the Republican Party to control the Republican House or get a constitutional conservative nominated for President.<\/p>\n<p>So once again conservatives are told to hold their nose and vote for the lessor of three literal evils for President. A Marxist narcissist that is currently occupying the office, or a Bishop in a demonic cult who actually thinks he is evolving into a God, or a thrice married CFR globalist and narcissist and former Baptist that converted to Catholicism (after he saw the majesty of the Pope).<\/p>\n<p>After the 2008 shaft conservatives said that they would not be snookered again. However, all indicators are they will be snookered again, and it could be the last time they will even have the chance to be snookered through free elections.<\/p>\n<p>If these are the choices there has to be a third-party movement starting the day they nominate one of these guys. You might say that will get Obama reelected. Sure it might, but with these two candidates he is going to be reelected anyway. Also, Obama can do little without the Senate and Congress and he has already broken enough laws to be impeached.\u00a0 If that doesn&#8217;t stop the next government from destroying what is left of this constitutional republic the very same Constitution gives the people the right to revolt against government tyranny.<\/p>\n<p>Just changing from a glib secular socialist president to a religious socialist &#8220;god-in-the-making, or a glib globalist &#8220;third way&#8221; neo-Fascist, is not going to preserve constitutional America. I would like to believe that I am wrong about Gingrich but I have little reason to believe that I am. I think Gingrich has proved that his word is no good. Gingrich has had a very long political career and his record speaks for itself.<\/p>\n<p>It is the globalism and shape shifting of people like Newt Gingrich that put us in the economic situation that we are in today and you want him to lead the &#8220;free world&#8221;? Don&#8217;t believe me? Check his record for yourself instead of just listening to his carefully crafted solutions for the conservative audience that will never really happen anyway. Newt Gingrich had his chance to be a constitutional conservative in 1994 when he was Speaker of the House but he blew it in favor of let&#8217;s-make-a-deal pragmatism, moral failures and financial sell outs.

The plan for a recovery is to just keep going deeper in debt. After the private Federal Reserve loaned ou<strong>t $16.1 trillion<\/strong> backed by America to prop up the financial house of cards that the world bankers created, they still have the gall to lend even more American money to bail out Europe banks. Here are the past low intrest loan figures made by the Federal Reserve, believe it or not.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>According to the GAO audit, <a title=\"$16.1 trillion\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/60553686\/GAO-Fed-Investigation#outer_page_144\" target=\"_blank\">$16.1 trillion<\/a> in secret loans were made by the Federal Reserve between December 1, 2007 and July 21, 2010.\u00a0 The following list of firms and the amount of money that they received was taken directly from <a title=\"page 131\" href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/60553686\/GAO-Fed-Investigation#outer_page_144\" target=\"_blank\">page 131<\/a> of the GAO audit report&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Citigroup &#8211; <strong>$2.513 trillion<\/strong><br \/>\nMorgan Stanley &#8211; <strong>$2.041 trillion<\/strong><br \/>\nMerrill Lynch &#8211; <strong>$1.949 trillion<\/strong><br \/>\nBank of America &#8211; <strong>$1.344 trillion<\/strong><br \/>\nBarclays PLC &#8211; <strong>$868 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nBear Sterns &#8211; <strong>$853 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nGoldman Sachs &#8211; <strong>$814 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nRoyal Bank of Scotland &#8211; <strong>$541 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nJP Morgan Chase &#8211; <strong>$391 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nDeutsche Bank &#8211; <strong>$354 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nUBS &#8211; <strong>$287 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nCredit Suisse &#8211; <strong>$262 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nLehman Brothers &#8211; <strong>$183 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nBank of Scotland &#8211; <strong>$181 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nBNP Paribas &#8211; <strong>$175 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nWells Fargo &#8211; <strong>$159 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nDexia &#8211; <strong>$159 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nWachovia &#8211; <strong>$142 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nDresdner Bank &#8211; <strong>$135 billion<\/strong><br \/>\nSociete Generale &#8211; <strong>$124 billion<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;All Other Borrowers&#8221; &#8211; <strong>$2.639 trillion<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Is this the monetary system that our founders wrote into our Constitution? These private bankers can do whatever they want with America&#8217;s money but the American people have no say in what they do with our money. They have put our nation at risk. They are digging a black hole and there will be no way out.<\/p>\n<p>The only reason the dollar has not totally collapsed already is that it is a reserve currency and Europe with its own central banks and socialism is in worse economic shape than we are. Many of the nations of the world have debt that they will not be able to pay off. Whole nations will default or they will hyper-inflate away their debt. The whole house of cards is coming down very soon, and when it does cities will burn and police states will emerge everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>The deception from our own government is incredible but few seem to be aware or care. The government is giving a 3.6 percent cost of living adjustment this year but the cost of living for most people on fixed incomes went up 15 percent last year. The real inflation rate across the board last year was actually about 6-8 percent. So how do they get away with 3.6 adjustment? The methods they use for the consumer price index is designed to understate inflation.<\/p>\n<p>The Federal Reserve is also buying American debt that they create out of thin air to keep the interest rates much lower than they should be. So that nest-egg that you saved does not earn the interest that it should to even keep up with inflation. Therefore, your wealth is gradually being stolen from you by the very inflation that the government claims does not exist.<\/p>\n<p>In the last year alone, you probably lost 5 percent of your real net worth if all your wealth was in short-term bank deposits or treasuries. For example, that $20,000 foreign car one year later now costs you 6 percent more or $21,200 and the interest dollars that you received on your nest-egg just paid you 1 percent so you lost 5 percent of your buying power in just one year. This has been going on for years and then people wonder why those on fixed incomes are struggling?<\/p>\n<p>The American government said that unemployment fell from 9 percent to 8.6 percent last month but there were not enough jobs created to make it fall at all. So what really happened? They did not count the 315,000 people who just gave up looking for work. The labor force is not shrinking but government wants to act like it is so they can report lower unemployment.<\/p>\n<p>If you have not looked for a job in the last four weeks you are not counted as unemployed. The fact is that the government employment-population ratio is at 58.5 percent and that is the same rate as a year ago, so things are not improving.\u00a0 Once again last week there were over 400,000 people applying for new unemployment benefits and now almost one-third of families In the United States get some kind of government food assistance.<\/p>\n<p>The facts are that the real unemployment if complied under previous administrations would still be over 11 percent and the U6 rate that also counts part-time workers that are looking for full-time work is 15.6 percent. So figures lie and liars figure.<\/p>\n<p>I am sure more people will find jobs when their unemployment benefits totally run out. However, I hardly think that when someone with a college degree gets a job at McDonald or Wal-Mart that we should believe that we are returning to prosperity. Good jobs that allow for middle class wages continue to fall in America (perhaps with the exception of those fortunate enough to find employment with the Federal government).<\/p>\n<p>_______________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>There also is no sanity in American foreign policy. Those running our government are either kidding themselves, want the decline of America, or they are suicidal.<\/p>\n<p>Iran probably already has nukes, but we keep playing the sanctions game. When was the last time that sanctions ever worked to change dictators? We did the sanctions game in Cuba, N. Korea and Iraq and did it change anything? N. Korea now has nuclear weapons and we had to fight two ground wars against Iraq. We had sanctions against Cuba for fifty years and it accomplished nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Now Iran probably has the capability to deliver an EMP over America. So instead of dealing with the threat and delivering an ultimatum to Iran, our American leaders stick a feather in their cap while singing I&#8217;m a Yankee doodle dandy, because a couple of Arab dictators were overthrown with our support?\u00a0 Like we are to believe that the overthrow of dictators is going to bring peace to the Middle East? The Islamic dictatorships that will replace them will set the world up for the next world war. So the West enforces the globalist Right to Protect doctrine of the UN but they certainly will make Islamic controlled nations exempt.<\/p>\n<p>Israel needs to realize that the faster they dump the United States and Europe for their security and turn to God the better off they will be. They should not expect sanity to prevail in America anymore. America lost it when the people became immoral and apathetic and they voted in collectivist globalist professional politicians.<\/p>\n<p>War between Syria and Israel is a real possibility within a couple of weeks. Assad probably sees that as the only way to turn things around and stay in power. Iran might also get hit by an Israel first strike on Iran and that would also bring in Syria. Otherwise, Turkey and NATO are going to start turning the screws on Syria, and after Gaddafi, Assad knows that is the beginning of the end for him. So actually, a first strike could come from any of a host of nations or even terrorist groups, but the end result most likely will be a regional war in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>We are giving up our nukes and cutting our national defense while Russia builds up their nuclear forces and makes plans for a new Soviet Union. Their military modernization program is being financially funded by energy resources that the West needs but won&#8217;t develop because it might disturb the bats in their own belfry?<\/p>\n<p>The West gives much of their money to China&#8217;s in exchange for trivial junk so that their own factories making better products will close down. Then China uses the money that the West donates to them to become a military nuclear superpower to destroy the world order of the West??\u00a0 Is the West that naive or just insane? Really what is the difference?<\/p>\n<p>We are fighting a war in Afghanistan against a tribal people that we armed and set up to hate us, for a tribal government that clearly hates us, and the war effort is being supported by a Pakistani tribal nation that mostly hates us and works against us?? Any chance of winning that war? Get real!<\/p>\n<p>If America is going to be the military arm of the globalists and get our nation destroyed in the process than Ron Paul is correct. We should pull out of the world and mind our own business. Why do we need to be the orderlies for insane asylums of the world? Best to become a peace-loving sane nation on the other side of the ocean that is no threat to the inmates on the other side that will end up killing each other anyway. We just need to have plenty of big nuclear attack dogs roaming our own territory to keep demonic berserk nations out of our own backyard.<\/p>\n<p>_____________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Europe just put off their financial crisis a few days with our help. The story is that a big bank was about to go under and take other banks with them and that is the reason the American Federal Reserve bankers decided to lend our money to Europe at very low-interest\u00a0 rates. The stock market went crazy thinking that this will be enough delusion for them to make some money. Of course the enthusiasm won&#8217;t last because the required cuts will never be made to save Europe from default.<\/p>\n<p>Either the EU will break up, or Germany will essentially take over and Federalize Europe. They can only put off the inevitable for so long. The action of the American Federal Reserve putting America at risk for European bankers is treason. Rick Perry is correct in using that word for those that are running our monetary system. They should be in jail. We need to go back under a monetary system controlled by elected representatives in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about incarceration, if the Defense bill passes, the military will have the power to arrest and detain Americans on American soil indefinably without due process. It&#8217;s all part of the war on terror. Why does this war on terror really seem like a continual war on our Constitution and our liberty?\u00a0 They won&#8217;t even acknowledge the real enemy is Islam. They think the enemies are conservative American Christian patriots that do not want more government control. That is because we have seen and can see the end result of giving sinful people too much power.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with bills like this is that the big danger of tyranny comes sometime in the future, when there is a manufactured or real crisis. If you think the government is overreacting now just wait until they find something to really react to.<\/p>\n<p>Like Senator Rand Paul said, if this bill passes the terrorists have won. You can thank John McCain, at least in part, for the wording inserted in the Defense bill that was written behind closed doors. You say you voted for him for President? That does not surprise me since the only other choice was Obama. I think the communists got into McCain&#8217;s head when he was a war prisoner in North Vietnam, but Obama was actually created by them.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see now, its been about three years since a Federal budget was passed? That&#8217;s why we have the threat of a financial shut down about every month. This is big government operating at its best. It passes bills based on the level of fear if they don&#8217;t act.<\/p>\n<p>___________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>On the church front the Vatican now owns the Crystal Cathedral in California. It just goes to show you that a glass cathedral built on religious pluralism, universalism and possibility thinking will get its just rewards when it becomes the world&#8217;s largest bingo hall.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the Vatican. The Pope is getting real involved in religious pluralism and globalism these days. It makes you wonder if he is setting things up for the mother of all False Prophets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The end of the year is upon us already and next year will start off with presidential primaries for the Republican Party nominee for President.
