Every time a conservative pops up the Republican Party establishment shows up to play Whac-A-Mole. Rick Santorum was the last conservative that popped up the hole. He is also the last conservative left in the game that has not been whacked, so you can be sure the Republican establishment will now focus their big hammers on him.<\/p>\n<p>Mitt Romney is the only acceptable candidate for the Republican establishment because the establishment is as center left as he is. Does it even matter anyway who Republicans make their candidate? According to a poll, 20 percent of Republicans are now leaning toward voting for Obama. He is leading in the polls by large margins against all potential Republican candidates. The majority of Americans apparently want a socialist fascist state or they are totally dumbed down and brainwashed.<\/p>\n<p>I know things appear quite different in parts of the heartland but rural conservatives are a minority and also the enemy of the Left. The FBI under the Department of Homeland Security has made it abundantly clear that they believe Christian conservatives are the real potential terrorist threat. According to a latest FBI report, anyone that believes in individual liberty or is against globalism is a potential terrorist and that is just the tip of the iceberg. We have seen similar lists before, the Far Left will just keep feeding Americans these lies until they learn to believe them. There goal is to divide this country and create a self fulling prophecy. I think many law enforcement officers are furious as to the division that they know is coming from the top in this country, but their careers are at stake<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t take me wrong, they know what they are saying. Nationalistic patriotic constitutional conservatives really are a threat to these utopians dreamers that control much of the world and now America. They have plans for a totally controlled socialist one world government. Don&#8217;t be misled, all roads with the Far Left lead to a Borg like society with a more evolved mankind playing the role of God on earth.<\/p>\n<p>Conservatives in heartland America have false illusions that Obama is unpopular and will lose in 2012. They go to rural Republican rallies where everyone is in agreement that Obama must go, but they do not realize that the speakers at their rallies are just preaching to the choir. Meanwhile, the main American mega congregation is fixated on American idol.<\/p>\n<p>You are being misled with all the talk that the majority of Americans are Center Right. They want you to believe that. Most Americans don&#8217;t even know what Center Right is. All they know is where their TV clicker is located. It is the mainstream media establishment that is doing the defining and according to the main stream media Obama is Center Left rather than the Far Left Marxist that Obama really is. They just moved the meaning of Center Right a couple of places to the left. The majority of Americans have been brainwashed to be Center Left by the educational system and media while giving disinformation that America is center right. That is why we always end up with a liberal.<\/p>\n<p>The Tea Parry movement that came from heartland America did not even achieve making the House conservative although all representatives were up for reelection. The Center Left\u00a0 Republican establishment still controls the Republican party in the House.<\/p>\n<p>I read that the government has just cleared the way for drones to be used to spy on American citizens. The government announced that they expect <strong>30,000 drones<\/strong> to be flying over America by 2020. By that time, smoking or having a barbecue in your backyard will be illegal or even taking a leak in the woods. The progression toward a total surveillance society by big brother continues to accelerate.<\/p>\n<p>Things are in the works so that those on threat lists like no fly lists will not even be able to get a job. There will be no end to government control in big brother&#8217;s brave new world. At the pace that we are going, by next decade you will be\u00a0 living between two pieces of glass with an identifying tag on your butt so that the watchers can shake your world if you do not conform to the collective rules of the ant farm.<\/p>\n<p>Oh Yeah, and all these multi-billion dollar intrusive national security programs are happening at a time when the threat of injury or death from a terrorist is less than falling in your bathtub. You can imagine what would happen if a few terrorist attacks actually carried off a WMD attack and killed people. For all their national security they will not even acknowledge the real threat to America. That threat is Islamic terrorism, illegal gangs coming across our Southwestern borders and out of control government. Saying that might offend the ears of the real people that are inclined toward terrorism or La Raza or fascist globalism so they scapegoat and harass liberty loving peaceful people. They are cowards!<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Obama is once again trampling all over the Constitution with his attempt to dictate morning after pills and birth control health care coverage to the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church believes their teachings on birth control are infallible church doctrine. It is Catholic&#8217;s constitutional right to\u00a0 practice their religion without government forcing them to do what they believe is sin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about this first amendment to the Bill of Right does Obama not understand?<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, <strong>or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Catholic leadership supported Obama in 2008 on healthcare and now he tells them they will have to disobey their own religious laws and obey his healthcare law because he thinks sex and birth control trumps freedom of religion. Obama told the Bishops that he will give them an extra year to comply. As if the said infallible doctrine of the Catholic Church will now comply to the national dictator. Rome will require their clergy to go to jail first.<\/p>\n<p>Does Obama really want a religious war with the Catholic church? He ought to show some fear of the Jesuits. Make no mistake, this is just the beginning of the attack on Christianity in America. If Obama gets reelected, Christians will either obey his unconstitutional decrees or they will be charged with crimes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Many Catholics prove to me that their faith is based on smoke and mirrors. Believe it or not the latest poll says that the majority of Catholics support Obama&#8217;s view over that of their Church. I was a Catholic and have an extended family that is mostly Catholic so that does not surprise me. I know first hand that the majority of Catholics are CINO&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Most Catholics just do not obey any teachings of their church that they do not like, even when it is claimed to be infallible doctrine. Catholics are taught that this disobedience to the church will send them to Purgatory or even Hell but they simply do not care. They live as if their faith is nothing but a Sunday ritual and that speaks wonders about the Christian beliefs of many claiming to be Catholics. I am not saying that Protestantism in general is any better. Protestants have their own issues. I was glad to hear that Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention is standing with the Catholic clerics on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary of Defense of the United States told the world and Iran that he thinks Israel will strike Iran this spring. You have to wonder about the reason for him offering this information? You can be sure that this was no idol comment, it was said for a reason. I do not know if it was a cover his butt statement, or if it was said to get Iran to compromise, or if it was said to try to take away the surprise and prevent Israel from actually doing it. It also could have been said to make Iran take some belligerent action. That would justify military action bringing about Iran&#8217;s military demise. It actually could have been said for all of the above reasons and more<\/p>\n<p>I think the big disagreement between the US and Israel is in the timing of a strike. Israel wants to strike Iran very soon because Iran will soon have its nuclear capabilities underground. Obama wants to wait until he gets proof that Iran is actually building a nuclear weapon so it can be submitted to the International community to justify a strike.<\/p>\n<p>It can be reasonably ascertained that the timing for the US to strike Iran is at least a year in the future. The US needs about a year to get the Ponce mother-ship refurbished and in place to base special forces.\u00a0 A large contingent of special forces will be necessary to take out hardened targets that are now under mountains and to rescue downed pilots. Israel does not have the capability to use a small army of special forces to take out the hardened sites so they want to strike Iran now. The US also wants to get its troops out of Afghanistan before any war with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>I think Obama has convinced Israel that we will use our special forces to do the job of getting the hardened sites and that probably will prevent an attack from Israel this year. Of course Obama could be lying to Israel thinking that if he can delay Israel until next year they will never strike Iran. Who really knows what Obama will do after the election? Israel never learns not to trust in Gentile nations for their security. Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities should have been destroyed years ago.<\/p>\n<p>There really is no incentive for Obama to bomb Iran now. He is comfortably ahead in the polls so why rock the boat? Should his numbers slide he always has that option.<\/p>\n<p>A wild card is that Iran could provoke a fight. It seems that the cult leaders of Iran want a war this year or next. The President of Iran will not be in power after 2013 and the supreme leader is old and not in good health. He already claims to be regularly chatting with the living dead Mahdi about destroying Israel and Islamic world conquest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Syria is a complicating factor in the Middle East because Iran is helping Syria to put down the resistance. Russia is giving Syria military cover with a show of naval power off Syria. Russia also has veto power in the UN to prevent military action against Syria. This civil war is going to get more bloody and it will probably drag on until the Iranian situation is dealt with. Other Arab nations and Turkey could get involved and take military action against Assad. His wild card is attacking Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Full scale wars have started for far lessor reasons. Syria could start a war or Iran could do something stupid or Israel might think it is a matter of survival. My personal feeling is that Iran will not cave and there will be a world war within 18 months. There is no telling how that war will all play out after it starts. Nations often switch sides. One thing we do know is that Iran and Hezbollah are establishing military missile bases and terrorist training bases to attack America through socialistic states and drug gangs in Latin America. They are infiltrating these enemies of America through our Southwest borders.<\/p>\n<p>We should be dealing with that problem now or we are going to have terrorist attacks on US soil that will result in less liberty for everyone in America. It also could be just what the statists want to gain even more control over Americans and maybe that is why government does little about the problem. Should we get involved in the Middle East again, we can also expect big trouble from North Korea and China and even Russia. One thing is certain the rest of this decade is going to be quite nuts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Republican Party establishment continues to be predictable in the 2012 presidential nomination.
