Only 11 percent of the American people approve of Congress. And sadly, your president, under pressure of “the party of no”—Republicans who don’t want anything Democrats want—is showing his desperation. At a loss of what to do to save the day for Democrats, he’s becoming juvenile in his remarks. I thank you Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. You’ve done the country a real service. You’ve given us the wake call that was lacking.
No question about it, Republicans are on a wave, but how do we bring the nation together? Bush didn’t. That’s the question. Before the needed change can take place, we must be made to realize that over the ages we have progressed. As we progress, our purpose increases. Thus, we are more aware of our failures, more determined to make the needed corrections.
Now we know that Obama doesn’t have answers; he’s a divider. The progressive movement, anything but progressive, is clearly bankrupting the United States. We must first stop spending our way out of the problem politicians created. But merely mention changing government entitlements brings howls of protest. Changing government worker’s pensions, even if they are bankrupting states, bring howls of protest. Reducing defense costs is unthinkable. America’s defense spending equals what all the rest of the world put together spends on defense. Anything but progressive, it’s outrageous what the politicians have done to us. After government entitlements, worker pensions, and defense spending, the rest of government expenditures is a drop in the bucket. At the rate we are going now we will soon be spending all of our tax money on government entitlements and interest of the national debt. When the people lose all sense of personal responsibility, first bankruptcy, then dictatorial control, America is on the brink of becoming another banana republic. With Obama’s Marxist revolutionary inner sanctum Glenn Beck of Fox News has exposed, he has already put the system in place. Obama, the divider, could not wait to cram a trillion dollar economic stimulus his inner sanctum wrote down our throats. It simply helped his political interests; it failed to help the economy. And that isn’t all, against the majority, Obama crammed down our throats Obamacare. The cost to employers is discouraging to economic growth. Absolutely, the economy, in spite of what Obama says, is worse off now than when Obama took office. This socialist tyrant in disguise has an ominous bureaucracy ready to pounce on industry. Tax the rich is the same as tax the employer out of his profit. Why hire people when government stands poised to grab the profit. Currently, it’s the blind leading the blind.
Like everything else government does these days, federal income tax is thousands of pages of ambiguous finagling, a shell game designed to make it appear to tax the rich when in fact it is designed to help the richest of the rich, like George Soros, maintain control. They get tax breaks no one else gets and in return finance political races. As a consequence, the guy you vote for is more than likely the guy who stabs you in the back.
The way to beat the biggest fraud of all times is a tax on spending to replace federal income tax. Wall Street pirates could either spend their ill-gotten incomes on themselves and be taxed accordingly or invest the loot they pirate away from the little guy in the economy which helps us all. There would be no incentive to buy politicians, at least for a time. The richest of the rich would have to begin again devising ways to favor themselves at everyone’s expense. They will always find ways. You can’t stop them.
But what a shame that Obama wants to take from the rich and give to the poor. He lives in the past. We find ourselves with all manner of assets. High tech has made it possible for the individual to do a hundred times the work that the individual could do a hundred years ago. You can talk all day about greedy capitalists, but what has this government leech done other than suck the life out of the economy? We should all be living like millionaires. Common sense says to say no to all politicians. The welfare state benefitting only one generation, this government invented Ponzi scheme we endure leaves future generations to bear a heavier and heavier tax burden, and the present generation screaming bloody murder.
The best way to stimulate the economy and job creation is to phase out entitlements and invest in the economy. Redistribution of income stimulates government growth, and government workers to redistribute what the economy produces. Who needs this?
We know now that it was a no-win transformation—all for himself and the shaft for you and I Obama wanted. He’d rather encourage the Mexican vote than protect the American people from Mexico’s out of control crime. Give me a break! Call me racist if you will, but let Obama take a permanent vacation—play golf all day every day; either that or ride the man out of office on a rail.“ . . . the result of 45 years of feminism is that we’ve destroyed the American family, made motherhood something to be apologized for and created a carping, bitter useless class of women leaders so on the alert for discrimination and unfairness under every paper clip that they’ve become miserable malcontents totally UNsuited for all but one profession: academic feminism . . . propagating further female misery. Worst of all, the feminists have corrupted the advancement of human potential revolution known as the ‘Women’s Movement’ into something shallow, hideous and destructive. Only one group has prospered from these insidious changes: the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.” Rajjpuut

Part III: Victim #3, Responsibility and the Human Potential Movement
In this blog series, we’ve been exposing the self-described “victimhood” of progressives at the hands of their evil, racist, etc. conservative oppressors and showing you where the real victimhood is:
In part I of the series (the link immediately above) the victim was “TRUTH” and among six key areas we hit Rajjpuut documented and exposed this truth:
Using the same Cloward-Piven** strategy that DELIBERATELY created the bankruptcy of New York City earlier between 1967 and 1975 by deliberately overloading the welfare rolls . . . beginning especially after 1992, ACORN, OBAMA, First ACORN PRESIDENT Bill Clinton, and oodles of progressives (98% of them Democrats) DELIBERATELY were pushing the car toward a 500-foot cliff. George W. Bush jumped in and grabbed the steering wheel and hit the brakes. Bush was able to create a controlled-skid and guide the car to rest in a friendly-looking ditch!
The chain of evidence producing that statement is something that every American ought to be aware of, just as every American ought to be aware of the identities of Saul Alinsky, Richard Cloward and Frances Piven and be able to articulate what Cloward-Piven strategy is . . . the fact that most Americans are totally ignorant of these things means someone hasn’t been doing their job.
In Part II of the series we examines the “Fourth Estate” and how their willful actions and inactions and choreographed responses (the scandal known as the “JournOList” which many Americans have not heard of because it’s too embarrassing for the liberal media to reveal that over 400 of its people have been colluding on how stories ought to be presented – to the benefit of the progressive political movement in this country) have sabotaged the nation and freedom and the Constitution. In Rajjpuut’s J-school classes reporting was all about revealing TRUTH in an ‘inverted-pyramid’ of Who? What? Where? Why? and How? That immediately put the most important facts at the top of the story and gradually petered out as less important details were shown. Today the inverted-pyramid has disappeared and unsupported opinion has replaced TRUTH in much of what passes for “NEWS.” Now let’s look at how the false victimhood of the progressives (we must “progress” beyond the outdated and flawed U.S. Constitution) has created another real victim:
Victim #3: Responsibility
Americans are very proud of freedom and rightfully so. However, there has always been a dark side to freedom: license. License is the unabated expression of freedom without exercising responsibility. The reason that progressives want to limit our freedoms and our free markets so much is that they don’t trust human nature without government controlling its every ebb and flow. Since they’ve been so instrumental in creating the culture of sexual license in particular it’s easy to see where their fears come from. There are perhaps a hundred key areas of American life that have been corrupted by the false-victimhood of progressivism, but just one will expose the root insanity of it all . . . .
So now let’s talk about a third victim of progressivism in America, RESPONSIBILITY. No area of progressivism so cries out for a full and deep disclosure of truth than progressives creating the victim mentality by insisting upon irresponsibility for their own lives and the lives of other so-called victims. Let’s start out with an attack on another of their sacred cows: single-motherhood, the very crux of feminism (not the women’s movement, feminism). Feminism is another area built up from lies, half-truths and myth having no relation to reality, history, or American culture.
First, however, let’s clear up what the “women’s movement” was and contrast it to feminism. Rajjpuut put his ex-wife through law school and (in her words) was the driving force for her eventually becoming a municipal judge. He also was the early childhood educator of his daughter and her first coach in five or six sports (tennis, swimming, 800 meter dash, chess, soccer, cross-country, and basketball). His daughter set the still-standing 800 meter dash record at her middle school; was a chess champion; earned the MVP honors on her freshman basketball team and on her C-squad basketball team; and an athletic and academic scholarship to college. The women’s movement is really, then the “human movement” where we seek full successful expression of every individual regardless of gender, color, etc. etc.
Feminism is an ugly expression only loosely related to the women’s movement. It’s been built on lies from the start. “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle”; “Every act of sexual intercourse, including on the marriage bed, was a rape.” “Great leaders” of the feminist movement began by proselytizing lies like that and the only two things that have changed since they began are that the lies are much more subtle and often statistically based today, and they’ve used the lies to maintain the jobs of 12,600 Women’s studies professors and other feminists for about 40 years now all the while making the world a much worse place. Roughly half the human race is female and half male . . . nothing in the six million years of our evolution has been so important as our families, infant human beings need a minimum of twelve years of care before they’re ready to face the world and that care comes at a huge cost to their parents. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the lies of a few angry women are placed above the truth of our human history . . . .
Beginning with Betty Friedan, American feminists have claimed that women who prefer to be full-time wives and mothers are parasites, leeches upon society and that patriarchal society which created these ‘weak-willed, helpless creatures’ must be overturned. The result of 45 years of feminism is that we’ve destroyed the American family, made motherhood something to be apologized for and created a carping, bitter useless class of women so on the alert for discrimination and unfairness under ever paper clip that they’ve become miserable malcontents suited for only one profession: academic feminists propagating further female misery.
Worst of all, the feminists have corrupted the advancement of human potential revolution known as the ‘Women’s Movement’ into something shallow, hideous and destructive. Only one group has prospered from these insidious changes: the progressive wing of the Democratic Party. Because so few women bother to question the illogical underpinnings of feminism, 54% of female voters support the Democrats.
While it is true that until the recent invention of items like the sanitary pad, the tampon, reliable contraception and especially “the pill,” for the most part women did not have a whole lot of control of their own bodies . . . and were often “imprisoned” somewhat by their own bodies . . . and by male dominated society . . . let us attack the great sacred cow of feminism: the single mother. Feminist would have you believe that since their movement arose, women are much freer now than they ever were.
The truth is that feminism has been a self-inflicted nuclear attack upon America and devastation to womankind; and more to the point feminism has enslaved American women into voluntary poverty and destroyed the American family. The crux of the feminist movement is the single-mother; she lies as the glorified desiderata of feminism. A bold, intelligent and free woman using some man or men as sperm-donors and raising her child or children free of evil male involvement. Why is the single-mother so important? As we’ll show very soon, single-motherhood is the single largest predictor of poverty for women and children and for criminal behavior in children once the teen years are reached. Single-motherhood has devastated the lives of American women in general and most specifically of Black American women . . . more later . . . .
Feminists want their cake and to be able to eat it too. Of all the tenets of feminism the most illogical and most hallowed is that women should be free to act like men in sexual matters. Indeed, thanks to feminism, a new breed of highly irresponsible men have arisen alongside the sexually-free feminists -- men scattering their semen across the hitherto virgin landscape . . . men who feel freer than ever (not necessarily happier, but certainly freer in sexual matters) to impregnate women and create families they’ll never be responsible for.
Why is the statement “Women should be as free as men in sexual matters” illogical? DUH! Men don’t get pregnant. Men don’t wind up with a disruptive (often times unwanted) guest inside their bodies for nine months. Men, under the rules of our new and enlightened feminism don’t have a new human being thrust upon them and into their lives for the next 18 years or so. Men don’t have to pay for and care for and be involved with the newly conceived human beings. Men have been utterly freed by feminism’s sexual freedom; women ironically have been enslaved by it.
“Wait! Wait!” you say, “what about birth-control? What about abortion?” Well what about them? Abortion pretty much on-demand has been the law of the land for 37 years now (that’s one and a half generations of women) so single-motherhood and unwed motherhood ought to be pretty much wiped out, no? The United States has the highest percentage of single-mother families in the world. Not talking widows. Not talking even divorcees (although the de-emphasis and hate for men spawned by feminists has seen divorce jump from 4% in 1955 to 56% today and that’s a dramatic undermining of the American family in and of itself) . . . just talking about true single-mothers. This is the supposed age of sexual enlightenment as well as freedom . . . how do, why do we Americans experience this massive onslaught of single-motherhood? Obviously . . . .
If birth-control were 100% effective . . . .
If women were 100% perfect in their applications of birth control . . . .
If, birth-control failing, anything close to 100% of women inconveniently impregnated opted for abortion . . .
If any of these three conditions, particularly the last one were true . . . single-motherhood would not be found except in miniscule numbers. But besides its other shortcomings, the feminist movement has made the single-mother into a progressive cultural icon and hero. She’s virtually always depicted as a heroic, intelligent, strong-charactered young woman who knows what she wants out of life perfectly balancing children and career in her utterly self-determined life. Sort of a Virgin Mary without a hymen, eh? Young girls are shown on all fronts the glory of single-motherhood on TV, in movies, in magazines, on the internet, etc., etc. Glory? What are the facts? Well, as one way of expressing this glory -- “Mugged? Thank a single-mother!”
Before going further, remember we’re talking about American RESPONSIBILITY being a victim of the false-victimhood mentality pushed everywhere upon us by the progressive-left movement. So far incidentally, we’ve seen that large quantities of men freed dramatically from the need to feel responsible for sexual acts or their consequences have become far more irresponsible in this area than at any time in American history.
We’ve seen that many women striving to live up the standards of the most licentious of men from a bygone era now claim the right to act sexually-liberated without the corresponding responsibility to realize that all responsibility for the consequences of sex can and very well might be borne by them and them along.
And we’ve seen a carping sisterhood of b_tchy feminists who have undermined the American family at every turn since about 1965 and who glory in the so-called “gains” of their movement, while taking no responsibility for its decadent effects upon America, and American women; feminists who portray the single-mother as a heroic standard-bearer of their movement. Ahem, so what is the truth about that single-motherhood?
Just as the whole feminist agenda, single-motherhood is a propagation of lies about victimhood. All traditional interactions between men and women are suspect as part of the patriarchal hostility of men toward women. Gloria Steinem’s famous dictate “Every incidence of sexual intercourse, even on the marriage bed, constitutes rape” is the classic example of this principle.) Unless the whole scheme of intergender interactions are shifted 100% toward the feminist delineation of perfection in these spheres they remain examples of evil men dominating and exploiting women. In other words, women have no free will at all unless it’s imposed by feminists? How far have we strayed toward that despicable goal? At the 2001 Academy Awards, three of the five women nominated for Best Actress played “strong, successful single women” and one played a long-time widow. No need for those “pesky men.”
Ann Coulter, in her magnificent expose Guilty: liberal “victims” and their assault on America, devotes her 39-page second chapter in the book to single-motherhood. She begins, “The most worshiped figure in modern America is the “single mother. Politicians tout their programs explaining how they will help single mothers . . . a sure way to draw applause from the crowd is to introduce single mothers in the audience.” Ah, yes victimhood. “Jesse Jackson,” she says, “. . . compares single mothers to Mary the mother of Jesus.” Terms like “unsung heroines” are bandied about frequently while the phrase “single mothers hardest hit” shows up somewhere in speeches, liberal media reports and policy-making bodies perhaps a hundred times each week. Single mothers are the ultimate phony victims. Remember contraception? Remember the morning after pill? Remember abortion? Remember GASP! “choice?”
That is the key word, the choices and compounding of their choices means that more than a million unmarried women every year CHOOSE to needlessly expose themselves to pregnancy and CHOOSE to bear a child out of wedlock . . . not considering that the consequences to themselves, their children and the very fabric of American society are horrendous. While the progressives like to lump widows and divorcees into the category “single mothers.” Widows, on average, do almost as well as married moms financially and in the outcomes of their children. Divorcees usually not nearly so well as married women, but compared to bona fide single moms, divorcees and all other groups of women with children are socially aware and noble plutocrats. Divorced women are not solely to blame for the hardships they and their children face . . . divorced men share some of the blame. So what is the outcome of single motherhood on American society?
Whether the pregnancy is unplanned, unwanted, accidental, or even connived for . . . this makes little difference. The choice to bear children without a father is devastating to the child, the mother and society at large. Girls raised without fathers are far more promiscuous and more likely to become single mothers or to have their marriages end in divorce. The strongest predictor of a child spending time in prison is single parenthood and overwhelmingly single motherhood, 70+%; juvenile murderers72%; rapists, 60%; all of the following situations teenage births, school dropouts, suicides, runaways, juvenile delinquency, and murderers of their own children . . . 70% or more were raised by single mothers.
Here’s a key factor that explains much about so-called Black victimhood . . . if single-motherhood is taken out of the equation for both Black and White crime statistics, there is NO difference between the races in criminal activity. The deliberate creation of and the great expansion of the welfare state by the progressive left has shattered the solid Black family in existence in 1950 or 1960 and has created not only false-victims, but also a vicious cycle of new victims. And these victims beget new methods among Blacks . . . 84% of all prison inmates, 92% of all runaways and active gang members, and 89% of all homeless children are associated with single motherhood. Did we remind you, this was a choice? By 2005, more than one third of all children born in the United States were illegitimate; in the Black community the number is closer to 48%. 90% of welfare recipients are single mothers regardless of race. Half of all single mothers in the country live below the poverty line and children of single mothers (they tend to repeat their indiscretions) are six times** more likely than other children to live in poverty. We have the sainted single mothers and the feminist strategy of false-victimhood almost singly to blame for the disintegration of the American family and for the devastating consequences that followed in its wake.
While old-fashioned “Scarlet Letter” approaches to single-motherhood are despicable by modern standards, one thing is certain, they seemed to work. The social pressure to conform and “is a good girl” in ages past when reliable contraception was unknown was dramatically effective. What is the answer? Rajjpuut would suggest a GlennBeckian approach along those ancient lines . . . NOT OUTSIDE PRESSURE, but a new understanding by girls and women of the true reality of single motherhood outside of the glorified “single motherhood” image now being propagated by feminists and by Hollywood should lead them to a new pragmatic morality for the benefit of themselves, their children and America.

** How can this shocking statistic be true? Are single mothers literally breeding a whole new “underclass?” Yes, single moms do tend to give birth to other children out of wedlock but this is hardly the “cause.” One reason is that America has more than twice the teenage pregnancy rate as other developed nations. Whereas a French single mother, for example, might typically be 28 or 33 years of age, and have a career and an education, huge amounts of American single mothers are teenagers with neither a career nor an education. Neither “just say ‘NO!’ nor contraception, etc. seems to work because so many Americans are raising girls to be irresponsible, to have low self-esteem; and seeing the glories of single motherhood flaunted around them in the media. Another reason is that in most of the rest of the world the ‘extended family’ is still a viable social model. People elsewhere are far more likely to care for their extended family then to leave their fate to welfare. Family is important, especially when you get in a bind.
PASTOR TERRY JONES OF DOVE CHURCH IN FLORIDA WANTS TO BURN THOUSANDS OF COPYS OF THE QURAN, ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2010 ! THIS WILL PUT AMERICAN TROOPS OVERSEAS ENDANGER
MORE, THEN NOW ! THIS IS NOT THE WAY, TO DO IT.
In Tesla, Man Out of Time by Margaret Cheney, we read in her biography of Tesla that he believed we must all have an ideal to govern our conduct, but it is immaterial whether it be one of creed, art, science or anything else as long as it fulfills the function of “dematerializing forces.”
Although his father was a minister of the gospel, Tesla was not into the doctrines and dogmas of the church. Said Tesla, “While I have failed to obtain any evidence in support of the contentions of psychologists and spiritualists, I have proved to my complete satisfaction the automatism of life, not only through continuous observations of individual actions, but even more conclusively through certain generalizations.” He believed we react to external stimulus, and that we are mechanical. Some day robots, said Tesla, will be able to do the same as we do. What did Tesla mean by “dematerializing forces?” Robots cannot be equipped with consciousness; it’s something God gave us. Like Einstein, Tesla was limited to physical observations. If fact, Einstein had the greatest admiration for Tesla.
Tesla struggled all of his life to take his many disappointments philosophically. He had the idea that since he was out of his time that people didn’t understand what he knew to be true. He wrote his banker, J.P. Morgan, “We are but cogwheels in the medium of the universe, and it is . . .an unavoidable consequence of the laws governing the pioneer who is far in advance of the age is not understood and must suffer pain and disappointment and be content with the higher reward which is accorded to him by posterity.” I don’t follow what Tesla meant by the “higher reward accorded by posterity” Cogwheels? Craving a grand lifestyle, but always hard up, the visionary Tesla said we are machines reacting to our experiences. I have a problem with that idea.
Tesla was the inventor of alternating current. He made a deal with Westinghouse to replace Edison’s direct current. With little cash in the palm, Tesla was to get a royalty on the AC power sold. But due to Tesla’s royalty agreement, Westinghouse was unable to borrow the money needed. Westinghouse hated to ask Tesla the way he did, but he offered to let Tesla wave his royalty for the sake of posterity. Tesla waved his royalty. Westinghouse and posterity benefitted. Westinghouse never returned the favor. Tesla understood that’s the way the system works. Be that as it may, but why let yourself be here for posterity and everyone else for self? Let’s see what happens.
Tesla discovered wireless communication and presented his plan to J.P. Morgan to build a world broadcasting station. Morgan agreed to loan Tesla $150,000. It was enough to start the project but Tesla needed more. Then too, Morgan was slow about advancing the money. Marconi stole Tesla’s idea and got the jump. Marconi got credit for discovering wireless communication. Poor Tesla never raised the money needed to complete his world broadcasting plan. Once again, Tesla did something great for posterity, without one dime of financial reward.
Tesla, who gave the world so much, late in life a recluse, hung a “do not disturb sign” on the door of his hotel room home and proceeded to die of a heart attack, we’re told, in his bed at age 86. There is no evidence of foul play, in so far as we know, but it’s a mystery of what happened to the many boxes of Tesla’s papers he stored in the hotel’s basement. They disappeared, later to turn up, but not all—after the United States examined them. The United States doesn’t know anything about it.
There is something familiar about this. I recall that my truck driver refused to join the union where he was delivering lumber. An autopsy ruled that he died of brain concussion. He fell off the bed of his truck and landed on his head, so the union told us. There was no investigation made.
In the biography of Tesla, we read, “On October 24, 1947, David L. Bazelon, assistant attorney general and director of the Office of Alien Property, wrote to the commanding officer of the Air Technical Service Command, Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, regarding the Tesla Photostats that had been sent by registered mail on or about September 11, 1945, to Colonel Holliday, at the latter’s request.” Did you know that in the Attorney General’s office there a Director of the Office of Alien Property? Wright Field denies having any hidden evidence of extraterrestrials, but there is much evidence that it does. Did Colonel Holliday have Tesla killed? We’ll never know. But we know the United States had some of Tesla’s papers. How did the United States get those papers?
Those who are not satisfied with the answers bureaucrats give them, those who look within for their answers, asked about the missing Tesla files. “Our records do not reveal that this material has been returned,” said Assistant Attorney General Bazelon to Wright Field. He requested that they be returned. Wright Field replied: “These reports are now in the possession of the Electronic Subdivision and are being evaluated.” Evaluated for what?
There is no record that the Tesla files were ever returned. The office that had the files has been “deactivated.” We know Wright Field kept some of Tesla’s papers and refused to return them. What’s left of Tesla’s papers may be seen in the Tesla Museum in Belgrade. We’ll never know if Tesla died of natural causes.
In his biography we are told that toward the end of his life, Tesla continued to speak of wireless communication, not only on this planet but with the universe, and that he knew there was other intelligent life in the universe. How did he know? What did this man out of time know that we don’t know? Do we really need to know? The United States obviously doesn’t think so.
In the past, it was Wall Street tycoons in control. Those in control today, Democrat Obama and his revolutionary czars, Democrat dingbat Pelosi of loony San Francisco, Democrat Prince Harry, whose relative was hung for being a horse thief and cattle rustler, Democrat Frank, the tongue tied homosexual who ran a male prostitution racket from his office, Democrat on-the-take, wheeler-dealer Dodd, and the Democrats’ police state bureaucrats, not to mention fat cat Wall Street frauds, all believing there is no need for everyone to know what they know. We’re finding out there is a great deal we didn’t know.
Tesla doing all that he did for posterity, did you know that in poverty, disillusioned, all alone, dying in suffering and shame, Tesla was ripped-off by the United States? I didn’t know this until I read Margaret Cheney’s biography.
At the recent Glenn Beck “Restoring Honor” rally at the Lincoln Memorial, 500,000 loyal Americans repeated our Pledge of Allegiance: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
America’s masters of deceit, declaring it unconstitutional, have removed under God from the Pledge. The federal judiciary, big government, big labor, General Electric, the NAACP, and the ACLU, all want you to work for posterity—for the good of all. You now know where it got Tesla. Vote your conscience on November 2, 2010.
“Liberals live in a world in which everyone is either an oppressor or a victim. In this rather extreme morality play, they control the casting: they are always the victims and conservatives are always the oppressors.” Ann Coulter from her book Guilty: Liberal “Victims” and Their Assault upon America

as the “BIG LIE” Dominates
Part II: Victim #2, The Fourth Estate (Journalism)
LAST TIME:
In the previous installment (Part I: Victim #1, TRUTH ) we discussed how the progressives/liberals play fast and loose with the notion of their victimhood by the oppressor-conservatives in society. Indeed, how progressives club the conservative society at large around them (those racists, bigots, Nazis, Fascists, women-haters, who drove the car into the ditch with the monstrous lie of their own victimhood. Then we examined five of their biggest and most popular victim dramas in some depth. We ended with this surprising truth about the “car in the ditch” parable:
Using the same Cloward-Piven** strategy they employed to DELIBERATELY create the bankruptcy of New York City between 1967 and 1975 by creating a community organization that deliberately overloaded the welfare rolls . . . beginning especially after 1992 . . . ACORN, OBAMA, First ACORN PRESIDENT Bill Clinton, and oodles of progressives (98% of them Democrats) DELIBERATELY were pushing the car toward a 500-foot cliff . . . when George W. Bush jumped in and grabbed the steering wheel and hit the brakes. Bush was able to create a controlled-skid and guide the car to rest in a friendly-looking ditch!
Admit it, this is a surprising, if not shocking truth but one which we’d already documented earlier in that first blog and which Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner summed up briefly two weeks ago when he praised Bush’s passage of a 2007 law that Geithner was assessing.
While that might play in Peoria, truth is no desiderata for the left. “You can hear the non-denial denials rampant “You’re blaming poor people for the recession?” No, we don’t blame the poor people for letting ACORN, Obama and the progressive movement use them like storm troopers against capitalism . . . no, Rajjpuut blames the progressives who knew damn well what they were doing and who’d plotted it all along. The poor have been doubly victimized by the progressives by a) being used as pawns and b) becoming locked more deeply in to the victimhood lie when they failed to be able to pay their $400,000 mortgages. Let us delve further into these crocodile tears shed before liberals dismember our country . . . .
Journalism was honored in the perspectives of our founding fathers because they saw it as another part of the necessary system of ‘checks and balances’ that kept the Republic strong. Today, however, the Fourth Estate has become the first line of defense for progressive/liberal candidates and ideas. The broadcast media and print media are today NOT trusted by the average Americans because it’s obvious that far from truth, the media are pushing the left-wing agenda.
The Pew Research Center found that for 12 out of 13 consecutive weeks during the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama was the presidential candidate most visible in the news. Obama was clearly the “media’s president.” News outlets by their dramatically favorable and dramatically increased coverage of Obama essentially provided free advertising for him, giving him significantly more frequent and more favorable coverage than Sen. John McCain. The cost to the Obama campaign would have been hundreds of millions of dollars to buy all the advertising that the left-leaning media provided him for free. But that’s not all, journalists who gave to Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign outnumbered those who contributed to McCain by 20-to-1, according to Investor’s Business Daily. How severe is a 20-1 edge? Blacks voted for Obama over McCain by 95.6% to 4.4% that’s just barely over 20-1.
Are you surprised to discover that campaign news coverage of Sen. McCain was three times more negative than coverage of then-Sen. Obama following the conventions, according to the nonpartisan Project for Excellence in Journalism. Recently, leaked e-mail messages from an online forum for reporters and commentators called JournOList** gave Americans a look behind the curtain of the national media — a mighty ugly backstage view. During the 2008 campaign, a group of over 400 journalists, academicians, and media bigwigs tried to protect then-Sen. Obama from the Jeremiah Wright “God damn America” scandal that threatened his presidential campaign by focusing attention on the “racism” of Obama’s attackers and non-attackers.
"Journalists from Time, Politico, The Baltimore Sun and The New Republic, among others, expressed outrage over questions regarding Reverend Jeremiah Wright that Obama received during a debate. Some of the journalists collaborated to shield Obama from his association with the radical preacher,” according to Tucker Carlson’s The Daily Caller website. President Obama won by about 7.3 percent. “That means that if the media’s biased reporting changed the minds of just four voters out of every 100, the media determined the outcome of the election.”
Today, the media coddling of Obama continues. "Hardball questions" are never asked and anytime he's GASP!! criticized, the newsmen break out the "racism" card in his behalf. It's impossible to be just objecting to Obama's actions or his political views, no, you are a racist! Despite Barack Obama’s well-demonstrated ineptness as president and his vicious attacks on America’s free markets and her Constitution, the once proud Fourth Estate in the hands of today's progressive/liberal media is still slanting 99 stories of every 100 in obvious efforts to help him the most or hurt him the least . . . because Barack Obama (and not the voters and taxpayers) is clearly the victim here . . . and if you don’t believe that, you’re a bigoted, racist, anti-woman, homophobe infected with cooties . . . .

** Apparently this joyful collusion between journalists has been going on for quite some time. During the Wright controversy, one female journalist on the JournOList called upon the boys to "man up." She claimed that it hurt her pride and feminist self-image to have to look the other way while Bill Clinton "danced about with Monica, Jennifer, Paula, etc."

Flood America with Corruption
as the “BIG LIE” Dominates
Part I: Victim #1, TRUTH
The progressive/liberal bullies who have ganged together to take over America in the name of their eventual socialist-Utopia -- like all bullies -- claim to be the victims and stack up an unending list of grievances. Their nastiness is just a matter of self-defense. Victimhood is their 1st nature. Victimhood is their 2nd nature. Victim is their beloved identity. These phony victims are advancing their hellish cause by . . . creating real victims and by destroying our country. Let’s look at some of their real victims:
1. Truth: We, normal everyday patriotic conservative Americans who are banding together in protest of the progressive front’s innumerable affronts, are (pick one or more) racists and bigots; Nazis, Fascists, haters, stupid, warmongers, anti-woman, anti-youth, anti-Semitists, witch-hunters, drivers who put the car (economy) into the ditch, etc. etc. Let’s look at the worst of these lies slung against conservatives, also known as “the right”:
Racism? Since Barack Obama got 48% of the White vote (more than either Gore or Kerry did) and John McCain got 4.2% of the Black vote where does the real racism lie? Since Obama’s Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Deputy Attorney General Julie Fernandez dropped a well-documented voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers already for all intents and purposes won by the Bush administration; and since Ms. Fernandez has told a roomful of DOJ employees they won’t be prosecuting cases in which Black perpetrators commit racial crimes against Whites, who are the real victims?
Nazis? How come no one mentions that Nazi means “National SOCIALIST Workers’ Party” member and that Nazis said their economic plan was neither Capitalist, nor Communist but another way of controlling the economy . . . doesn’t all that mean that Nazis are a left-wing group? That word “workers” and the Nazis attacks upon capitalism all along, doesn’t that mean anything? Since these slanders are routinely tossed about against good people and no proof is ever offered, who are the real victims?
Fascists? Hmmm, forgive our actually looking at history, but Mussolini and the Italian movement that came to be known as fascism, didn’t that start out as workers seizing control of the corporations? Since these slanders are routinely tossed about against good people and no proof is ever offered, who are the real victims?
Anti-woman? Since the feminist movement hijacked the up till then beautiful women’s rights movement, think of all the great things that have happened (Great things like: Hasn’t the American family suffered? Haven’t our children suffered? Haven’t a much larger percentage of women become impoverished? Haven’t a much larger percentage of one-parent families been created? Haven’t many more children been raised in poverty? Hasn’t the number of children born out of wedlock multiplied? Hasn’t the incidence of female alcoholism and drug addiction risen dramatically? Hasn’t the incidence of women getting jobs as Women’s Studies professor’s multiplied?) And since stay-at-home moms are treated by feminists as untouchables, who are the real victims?
Ditch drivers? The left has claimed that our present financial crisis was created by 1) the Bush Administration 2) conservatives 3) lack of government regulations on the economy 4) the free market, etc. who all banded together to drive the car (the economy) into the ditch (deep recession). Progressives forced major changes in mortgage laws five times between 1977 and 1998. Once the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA ’77) was passed, they also created ACORN in Arkansas immediately to willfully abuse these laws. In 1975, only 0.24% of all home loans in the country were made with 3% down payment or less. Low down payment mortgages were reserved for exceptionally well-qualified veterans only. By 1995, 14% of all home loans were completed with less than 3% down payment.
That shifty wing of the Democratic Party, ACORN, was shaking down lenders and forcing loans for people without ID; people without jobs; people without even rental histories; people with horrendous credit ratings; people whose only income was food stamps; any person on welfare; even illegal aliens. And who was the best ACORN lawyer at shaking down these lenders who really didn’t want to make loans to people who never had a prayer of repaying their mortgages? Barack Obama!
Somewhere after Bill Clinton’s third expansion of CRA ’77 (two in ’95) put the whole system on steroids in 1998, (Barack Obama was gone by now) ACORN discovered it was almost as easy under the ’98 law to get an impoverished person into a $400,000 home as it had been earlier to put him into a $120,000 one. By 2005, 34% of all home loans were completed with less than 3% down payment. That’s called a “sub-prime lending crisis.”
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner gave George W. Bush a thumbs up about two weeks ago saying that Bush’s efforts to pass a law in July, 2007 kept the country from going really deep into recession and kept home prices from plummeting ever lower. Unmentioned is that Bush sought to pass a tougher law in January, 2005, 30 months earlier but that progressive votes derailed that effort. The 2007 law that Geithner praised was way too little, way too late . . . but it was a life-saver, nevertheless. So the truth about that ditch is . . . .
Using the same Cloward-Piven** strategy that DELIBERATELY created the bankruptcy of New York City earlier between 1967 and 1975 by overloading the welfare rolls . . . beginning especially after 1992, ACORN, OBAMA, First ACORN PRESIDENT Bill Clinton, and oodles of progressives (98% of them Democrats) DELIBERATELY were pushing the car toward a 500-foot cliff. George W. Bush jumped in and grabbed the steering wheel and hit the brakes. Bush was able to create a controlled-skid and guide the car to rest in a friendly-looking ditch!
NEXT TIME: Victim #2
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
** Richard Cloward and Frances Piven published their strategy of orchestrated crisis in 1966 based upon Saul Alinsky’s 1945 book Reveille for Radicals. Obama, only five at the time, would later teach college courses in Alinksy’s later book, Rules for Radicals over several semesters. Bill and Hillary Clinton were also big Alinsky fans. Before marriage, Hillary wrote her honors thesis on Alinsky’s “method” based upon his “guidebook for community organizers” which became Rules for Radicals shortly afterward in 1971.
Cloward and Piven and community organizer George Wiley created the National Welfare Rights Organization in 1967 in hopes of “overloading the system” and forcing the Congress to pass a “Guaranteed National Income” which they believed would abolish poverty for once and forever. After New York City was bankrupted in 1975 (requiring federal government bailout) and New York State came within inches of bankruptcy also . . . the threesome bragged publicly and in print about the great thing they’d accomplished (hardly mentioning that GNI never was even considered. Cloward and Piven told their followers that voter registration and housing were the next areas for emphasis.
Wiley sent his lieutenant Wade Rathke to Arkansas (the “A” in ACORN first stood for “Arkansas” only later for “Association”) in ’77 to help out an up and coming politician (lieutenant-governor by age 30) Bill Clinton and to establish community organizations to work on voter registration and housing. Rathke would later found SEIU. With ACORN’s help Clinton served as Arkansas governor for 12 of the 14 years between 1978 and 1992 until he became president. One of his first laws was the Motor Voter Act in 1993 and in the official photo you can see Richard Cloward and Frances Piven standing behind directly behind him as he signs the bill into law. Clinton was responsible for three of the four expansions of the original CRA ’77 mortgage-guarantee law. However, to be fair . . . the biggest mistake may have been George H. W. Bush’s . . . .
Successful in 44 out of his 45 vetoes, in 1992 G.H.W. Bush allowed a major and complicated bill to pass by not vetoing it. One of the tinier sections of the bill expanded CRA ’77 for the first time so that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the two federally-owned mortgage giants) had to comply with the CRA ’77 laws and made CRA ’77 “watertight.” This sort of thing is one reason that Rajjpuut favors the TEA Party Contract from America provision that says that all proposed bills need to quote the U.S. Constitution to show what provision of the Constitution allows the new law. One proviso, remember the July, 2007, law that Bush the younger passed which Geithner praised, that law was a stop-gap after the Democrats stopped the much stronger and better law Bush proposed in January, 2005. That means an awful lot of evil is still on the books in all the five mortgage-guarantee laws that were not rescinded. They’re still on the books and still waiting to destroy the country.
Mighty Dollar Madison NC Franchise closes due to continuing economic failure throughout America
Author: Brian D. Hill
Source: USWGO Alternative News
Note: This is a exclusive special report by USWGO
Many that thought dollar stores will actually do well in a depression style economic collapse is sadly mistaken. According to Brian D. Hillthat is not just a founder of USWGO but also a skilled photographer,and a reporter, he found out after wanting to take a trip to MightyDollar that's located in 706 Rockingham Square in Madison, NC 27025,is unfortunately shut down due to the increasing economic failures.
After seeing that it was closed the USWGO Founder decided to take pictures of the closed down store to show the world how bad Americaseconomy is getting. The official website of Mighty Dollar is at www.mightydollar.org.
USWGO hasn't yet contacted Mighty Dollar company for comment regarding the Madison NC franchise shutdown or found a reason why theshut down has occured but further investigation finds that it is theeconomy that gut Mighty Dollar from Madison NC.
In the parking lot at the shopping center where Mighty Dollar is located the pavement in the one area is degrading while not receivingany repair.
So while President Barack Obama says that he will not rest until he brings more jobs, which would restore the economy, the economy isslowly sliding from a Recession, to a Depression, and maybe to the endof the United States of America.
Also before the store had went out they used to sell everything as a dollar including First Aid ointment which would be mainly $2 to $3 inmany other places, then merchandise was not being stocked as well, tosome merchandise not being stocked anymore, and then well you know theyclosed down.
So why would dollar stores go out of businesses since they would sell more due to the fact that prices are going up everywhere? Becausethe price of raw material is being inflated due to the economic failureplus the Federal Reserves excessive printing of money thus causing adevaluation of the dollar next to it's competitors the Yuan, Yen, andEuro.
If raw materials go up then either prices must rise, packaging must be reduced, quality of the product must go down, or quantity of theproduct has to go down.
Already gas stations are reducing their bottled drink sizes from 24 fl oz to 20 fl oz while keeping their prices the same or little bithigher.
Even at Walmart it is now a memory that you can buy a good priced drink that would be 24 fl oz.
If raw materials keep going up in prices then the people may start rioting in the United States over their standards of living and/orquality of life slowly faltering into the dirt.
If seeing a Mighty Dollar being closed down including a Martinsville VA Restaurant hardly getting any customers isn't a sign that theeconomy is falling and that we are in a Depression then we don't knowwhat is.
In the news other countries have either riots or massive revolts over the massive inflation of prices on everything. The same thing ishappening to America so dollar stores all over America may bethreatened by the fact that raw materials can go up in price.
Here is another picture showing even closer how the great Madison NC Mighty Dollar isn't Mighty anymore.
once another great mighty mega store along with many carts for shoppers to use is now another closed down economic tragedy not tomention more jobs lost.
Does it just look like the economy keeps getting worse? Please add your input to the comments below.

Is Barack Obama
a Marxist Ideologue?
Your laziness and your stupidity, it they indeed exist, are the #1 weapons in the arsenal of Barack Obama . . . so please, please don't sell yourself, our nation and your own industry and curiosity short . . . go the distance for America.
Actually that title (Is Barack Obama a Marxist Ideologue?) is rather inane, the truth is obvious. The short answer is “Definitely, YES!” as will be proved, in the following paragraphs. The real question for some might then become, will he harm our country? The short answer is “Definitely, YES! And not only that, his already-concluded betrayals since 1995 are worthy not only of impeachment but of a treason conviction and he’s deliberately betrayed us every day since he swore to ‘preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States’ by doing everything humanly possible to undermine this country!” as will soon be revealed beginning with the third paragraph below. And then, friends, it gets worse, so let's get to this nastiness . . . .
Probably the most troubling moment in the recent presidential debates, was when the moderator prefaced his question to Candidate Obama with “It’s been repeatedly shown that every time the tax rate on the highest earners is raised much above 28%, that a recession occurs, given that, will you insist upon raising those taxes as you’ve consistently said up to this point?” Our president did not blink an eye in saying, “Charlie (Rose), I just believe we need to be fair.”
That was telling, a dramatically telling exchange, to Ol’ Rajjpuut, . . . the president of the United States would rather we all suffer in economic misery just so he could punish those “evil richies,” than to do the best thing for the entire nation. In common jargon he prefers to cut off his nose to spite his face. That is, Barack Obama is content to be a one-term president in order to push his Marxist ideology (proved below) to the extreme of wrecking the greatest capitalist nation the world has ever known. Recently 55% of Americans have said in a liberal think-tank poll that “socialist” is the right adjective to describe Barack Obama . . . unfortunately, it’s taken three and a half years for them to discover this inaccuracy. Rajjpuut has read “Dreams from My Father” while most Americans have not. Rajjpuut has read the following essay by Barak (no ‘c’) Hussein Obama, Sr., the father of our president which discusses "100% taxes" while most Americans have not . . .
It’s amazing what the dreams of his father actually are . . . oh, but you haven’t bothered to research it and read it, have you? Rajjpuut has also done tons of research that led him to write this blog about a week ago:
which shows that Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. is not only a Marxist ideologue but that he has been involved in deliberately sabotaging the United States with Cloward-Piven tactics and strategy for at least fifteen years.
The provocative and frequently prescient Cook Political Report
recently described Cook’s surprise in hearing early last summer “from a Democratic congressional leadership staffer who had sat in on a number of closed-door meetings between President Obama and Democratic members of Congress" who told Charlie Cook something shocking,
‘I know this isn't true and sounds naïve, but listening to the president
in these meetings, you'd think he really doesn't care if he gets re-elected or not.’ . . .
Cook goes on, "Most recently, I thought of (those words) following the president's decision to weigh in on the proposal to build a Muslim mosque and cultural center in lower Manhattan, not far from Ground Zero . . . . If I were a Democratic candidate on the ballot this year, I suspect I would be livid. Predictably, conservatives and Republicans are having a field day with the issue. No doubt, if the shoe were on the other foot, Democrats would be making hay while Republicans would be seeking a place to hide . . . . At the risk of sounding like an unlicensed psychoanalyst, it seems that President Obama is so supremely self-confident, so self-assured of the righteousness of his positions, that perhaps he believes if he does what he thinks is best and lets the chips fall where they may, everything will eventually work out. And, if it doesn't, well, he'll still think he did the right thing anyway.”
Rajjpuut, believes that both Charlie Cook and the Democratic congressman who told that story to Charlie Cook, are unfortunately, giving Barack Obama too much credit for patriotism and statesmanship. That story alone would cement the “ideologue” label on BHO, but we’ve already seen that there’s more than enough of that glue going round . . . . The fact is that Barack Obama is sacrificing the United States for the greater good . . . the greater good according to the Marxist theory of dialectic materialism**. His every action since 1995 has aligned with exactly that philosophy. It ties together nicely as if with a bright red bow with a hammer and sickle, but you've got to be willing to actually learn and then think about what you learned, and Barack Obama is banking upon Americans being too stupid . . . . The BIG LIE of Barack Obama has been expressed in many forms akin to “Blame it on Bush,” but is most infamously revealed to us as the “car in the ditch” story that he has told fondly on at least thirty different occasions now. The metaphor sounds valid, to those who refuse to go beyond the surface:
A car (the economy) has been driven into the ditch (severe recession) by the Conservatives, the Republicans, Wall Street and whatever other greedy capitalists you wish to finger. Now as the brave work of Obama and his administration has almost got the car out of the ditch, (he says) there stand the Republicans asking for the keys to the car again. Obama says, defiantly, “No, you can’t have the keys back, you put it into the ditch and you don’t know how to drive.”
Only one problem, the fable is not only a lie, but a BIG LIE (a well-known and effective propaganda trick) and Mr. Obama is well aware that it’s a lie. The BIG TRUTH^^ is:
Barack Obama, ACORN, and a myriad of progressive politicians have been DELIBERATELY pushing the car toward a 500-foot cliff. George W. Bush hops in, grabs the steering wheel and slams on the brakes to create a controlled skid that lands the car in the nearest friendly-looking ditch.
Is that possible? Does it even make sense? Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner admitted as much two weeks ago when he said that George Bush’s actions (in 2007) prevented a much deeper recession and prevented a complete collapse of prices in the housing market. The full truth of the matter backing up the Big Truth story about Obama, ACORN and the Cliff can be found in item #7 at this link:
The BIGGER TRUTH, however, is that Americans are too willing to believe lies, because they’re too lazy to question popular-sounding notions from progressive (and other ) politicians as the rest of the blog linked immediately above proves. We got the recession we deserved, because it was deliberately created by the politicians we elected, politicians we deserved because we’re too lazy to deserve the country our founding fathers gave us.
All that being said, the real question is with defeat for his party looming presumably despite ballot box chicanery set in motion by ACORN long ago, what is Barack Obama, not willing to do to screw this country. Might he eventually institute martial law and attempt to rule the country as a dictator? “Definitely YES!**”
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
** Yes, this is what we're being sacrificed for. Some here would split hairs and say, "Not Marx, Hegel." Dialectical materialism is essentially characterized by the thesis that virtually all history is the product of class struggles and follows from a collision of cultures of haves and have-nots both inside and outside a given society. And, of course, the eventual collapse of capitalism is the long-awaited most-glorious-day when socialism takes over, to itself be replaced eventually by a most-perfect socialism (communism) as we all live together harmoniously in Utopia. Did you know that Communist regimes killed 120 million of their own people during the last 90 years? It's called democide, a word that had to be invented just for them.
^^ For the even bigger truth consider this, the UNfunded liabilities of the nation now stand near $115 TRillion. That means in the 75 years since Social Security was passed; and in the 45 years since Medicare and Medicaid were passed, the progressive elements of the congress (and usually even so-called moderates) have been deliberately breaking the law by refusing to fund these three entitlement programs. By the way, besides the federal side of Medicaid, new legislation will presumably bankrupt all of the states between 2018 and 2024 as they face a huge new state burden from Medicaid (as part of Obamacare). And . . . yes, there's always more . . . and the obligations for all the welfare programs in the future are not included in anything discussed so far.
Sources now say it’s the Republican establishment that is concerned about a grass-roots movement whose power has expanded so rapidly that it now threatens the party's political hegemony. That’s far from the little known whole truth of the matter.
I knew from what I know about Uranus, my ruling planet, after reading in Tesla, Man out of Time by Margaret Cheney, that Tesla’s hallucinations, like my hallucinations, meant he could be possibly under the influence of Uranus. Sometimes I awaken during the night shaking uncontrollably. Tesla put sponges under his bed because he felt the ground shaking. Due to my Saturn being trine Pluto, astrologers tell me I would understand the subtle workings of the universe.
Tesla and I are supersensitive to the subtle workings of the universe. I wrote in my Internet Google search engine “Tesla and Uranus.” Yes, my suspicion was correct. Tesla was under the influence of Uranus. Under “Tesla and Uranus,” I read on the Internet that Tesla considered his uncanny ability to solve physics problems sort of Divine intention. This brought to mind Fox News’ Glenn Beck’s much talked about Divine attention. Was it the Uranus influence? I wrote in my Google search engine “Glenn Beck and Uranus” and got nothing. I wrote in “Glenn Beck and Pisces” and got, under “Cosmic Life Coach Astrology Blog,” “Glenn Beck swallowed by liberal shark,” a take-off of Jonah and the whale. Beck swallowed by liberal shark planted a negative impression so typical for liberals. It always comes back to haunt them.
In the story of Jonah and the whale (Jonah 1:17 and Jonah 2:1,10) God decided that a whale would swallow Jonah. Jonah was in the belly of a whale three days, where he prayed to God to spare his life. God caused the whale to vomit Jonah out on dry land. Similar to the story of Jonah and the whale, Glenn tells us that he is a recovering alcoholic, that he hit rock bottom and then found God. Glenn is now a driven representative of future man. The liberal shark has not swallowed Beck, not by any stretch of the imagination.
After reading that Beck, under the Pisces interpretation, meant swallowed by a liberal shark, I wrote in the Google search, “Pisces.” At the “Pisces Official Website,” under “Personality Traits,” I read “The duality of the Pisces personality is best described as a constant ebb and flow, back and forth, straddling the physical, material world and the ethereal, divine realm where Pisces vivid imagination, powerful intuition and creative daydreaming feel like home.” Daydreaming liberals are not doing well. Beck’s recent “Restoring Honor” rally leaves liberals in a quandary. Copying Glenn Beck, I hear that labor unions and the NAACP are going to stage their separate takes at Washington’s mall on what direction America should move. It should be very interesting to compare what they have in store for America and what Glenn Beck told us at his gathering. I think the “cosmic life coach,” under the Piscean influence, misread the stars. Liberals—Pisceans—drifting on the tides, are in no way going to change the course of heaven and earth. Astrologers tell us we are leaving the Age of Pisces, entering the Age of Aquarius.
I wrote “Aquarius” in Google search. According to liberals; that is, Pisceans, as to their forecast that “Tea Party types” –racists, Nazis, and such—might look forward to being swallowed by liberal sharks—no way, I read under Aquarius that Aquarians are “humane, frank, serious minded, genial, refined, sometimes ethereal, and idealistic, though this last quality is tempered with a sensible practicality. They are quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason. . . They are nearly always intelligent, concise, clear and logical. Many are strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive.” The Age of Aquarius, which is beginning now, I read, “is much anticipated by psychic circles as an age in which mankind will experience a great spiritual awakening.”
Liberal politicians mistakenly call us right wing extremists. Take notice Republican politicians, the Age of Aquarius sounds like conservative Glenn Beck talking about our future: faith, hope, and charity. It’s as simple as 1, 2, 3. If you want our vote, shape up. (1) No more welfare state remedies; (2) get spending under control; (3) live by the Constitution. That’s today’s mainstream thinking. Liberals are living in the Piscean past.
I printed out the core concepts of the Tea Party. They closely match the core planks of the Constitution Party platform. I suspect this may be coincidence rather than a case of anything sinister or dishonest. Like minds think similar thoughts and have similar values. I thought I might take each core concept and spew forth my two cents worth. As usual, I don’t expect, nor do I wish, blind agreement with what I have to say. Civil disagreement and discourse is the hallmark of a healthy society. Only lemmings have universal agreement and look at what it gets them … a suicidal dip in the ocean.
#1 ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE HERE ILLEGALLY.
Well, yes. Federal law makes it a misdemeanor crime to enter the country without proper documentation and authority. Illegal aliens are criminals by definition. Remember, I previously stated that words have distinct meanings. The accepted definition of a criminal is one who commits a crime or has been convicted of committing a crime. The noun is unambiguous. If you commit a crime, you are a criminal and your act was illegal.
Excuses such as “we take jobs American won’t take” are just that, excuses. They do nothing to mitigate the crime. This is nothing more than an attempt to justify the illegal behavior. And the “reconquista” concept is also an illegal attempt to justify criminal acts. The fact that the southwest United States was acquisition by conquest is of no importance in the discussion of illegal immigration. How the land came into the possession of the United States has no bearing on the commission of a crime. The land was ceded to the US as a result of military action against the government of Mexico. Right or wrong, the land in question is internationally recognized as being part of the United States. To enter the area in question under the premise that it still belongs to Mexico is ludicrous … and still illegal.
The last time I checked, one who applies for citizenship must swear or affirm that they have no criminal history that would disqualify them for citizenship. Since we have ascertained that entering the country without proper documentation or permission is a criminal act, it would seem to me that illegal aliens have, by their own criminal act, removed any hope of becoming legal immigrants or citizens. Amnesty therefore is a moot point. One does not reward criminal behavior.
#2 Pro-Domestic Employment Is Indispensable
While this statement is undeniably true, how we deal with the problem is another can of worms. Most companies are now multinationals. They are going to move their manufacturing or service operations wherever it costs the least and maximizes profit. This is a fundamental concept of capitalism. The companies cannot be faulted for trying to keep their stockholders happy. One the other hand, this behavior can understandably be seen as unpatriotic by some. The only way I can see to attract new manufacturing jobs, or jobs of any type, is to improve the economic climate for companies. Since it is not beneficial to reduce wages and as a result the standard of living, we must look to other means for attracting business. This is generally done by reducing the tax burden on businesses such that they can afford to pay higher wages and still retain profitability. Taxing success is detrimental to economic health. Punishing companies for being profitable is counterproductive and kills the hopes of generating new jobs that pay a decent wage. Taxes of any stripe are the antithesis of a healthy economy. Returning the federal government to it’s constitutional sources of income would be a great start to economic recovery.
#3 Stronger Military Is Essential.
This is a subject that is dear to my heart. I may seem to be digressing from the core premise here, but I will do so in any event.
Yes, a strong, technologically superior military is vitally necessary to our survival as a nation. It is only by demonstrating that we have the power and will to protect ourselves that we provide for our way of life and that of our children. We must be ever vigilant and prepared to take forceful action against those who would cause us harm. Investment in the people and equipment is imperative to secure our peace.
Having said that, I would caution against the misuse of the military power we underwrite as citizens. The decades following World War II found the government to be abandoning the self defense aspect of a strong military and moving toward a “projection of political will” instead. Thus, in Korea, Viet Nam, and other theaters of conflict, we were frequently found to be wasting young American lives on the alter of political expediency or worse, some politicians ego. We now find ourselves in the role of policemen to the world. We perform “nation building” and ”export democracy”, all by way of military force. This is WRONG! When discussing the need for a standing army, the founders were concerned about the role the military would play. They envisioned it as the protector of the land and people of the new nation. While it was true that early on we projected military power abroad, it was done to protect American citizens and property against those who would attack us first. The Barbary Pirates were one example. The Navy and Marines were dispatched to deal with the problem and did so with efficiency and alacrity. Then they came back home. We have no business expending the lives of our military men and women to satiate the ego of our commander in chief, or to benefit the special interests that permeate the halls of government. The military should be for the defense of the nation … period. Unless there is a compelling national security interest, we should keep our noses out of other countries business. I adhere to the premise “friend to those who would be our friend, protector of our own.” Please understand, I AM NOT A PACIFIST! I do however believe with all my heart that the lives of our warriors are sacred and should be spent reluctantly and with solemn respect for their sacrifice, honor, and courage.

I received yet another e-mail challenging my position that the Constitution, and indeed all founding documents, are most emphatically not living documents that must change in accordance with the needs of the society they govern. The person, who shall go unnamed here, insisted that societies needs supersede the wishes and ideas of a “bunch of old men” from the distant past. This in spite of the fact that these old men were some of the most astute and able thinkers of any period of history. Collectively, they probably have never been bested for their raw intellect and wisdom.
The unnamed also insisted that words evolve to mean different things to different people. I took umbrage and pointed out that if that really were the case, we would probably degenerate into a mute society, as eventually, words would have no common meanings at all and each person would ascribe whatever meaning he or she desired. Of course, our neighbor, who has a different lexicon, would be unable to make heads or tails out of what we were saying. The modern day equivalent of the Tower of Babel.
Of course this won’t happen. We will continue to generally give words common meanings that we can then use or abuse to our detriment. BUT, having said that, I would make an exception as to the written word. Once a thought or idea is put to paper (or parchment, or stone, etc.) the words are forever locked into the meaning in common usage of the time, evolution of the vocabulary notwithstanding. An example is in order I think.
I am old enough to remember a classic musical of the 1960’s, “West Side Story”. The story line and such is not really important to my point. Suffice to say it is a story of star-crossed lovers. A “modern” Romeo and Juliet if you will. At one point in the musical, Maria, the female lead played by Natalie Wood, sings a spirited song called “I Feel Pretty”. The lyrics as written were:
“I feel pretty, oh so pretty.
Oh so pretty and witty and GAY!”
OK. HOLD ON! Maria … GAY? Is she singing about being of the non-hetero genre? No, of course not. At the time the musical was written, gay meant happy, spirited or joyous. It had absolutely nothing to do with her sexuality. So in the context of the musical, the word gay means something totally different than it does today. Should the writers and creators of the music let their efforts become the property of a group who has usurped the word gay? I say NO! The written word is forever associated with the meaning in use at the time. Period, end of lesson.
I agree wholeheartedly with Justice Antonin Scalia. The Constitution is NOT a living document. Rather, it is an ENDURING document. His words, not mine. Believe me I wish I had come up with the line.
From the comment on my post on teaparty.org yesterday, I received an email from a Tea Party member a New Yorker, probably one of Sharpton’s supporters, informing me that Glenn Beck is a gas bag, thus prompting me to write today’s post. Beck’s evangelism attracted 500,000 ordinary, God-fearing, peace-loving Americans to the Lincoln Memorial, people who believe in God and country. When asked about this remarkable event, which he caused to happen, facing a camera, without batting an eye, the President said, “I didn’t watch the event. I’m not surprised.” We shouldn’t be surprised at this coming from Obama. Same as the Tea Party member who just had to let me know that Glenn Beck is a gas bag, the man in the Oval Office is whistling Dixie.
Years ago, I was invited to join a group experiment with twenty-three other people. We were each handed a paper to read that told of a problem we were to solve, as follows: Our plane crash lands in a remote forested region of northern Canada. The only place to land is on a small lake. The plane comes to rest a few feet from the shore. The temperature is just above freezing. None are injured. We wade ashore wet and cold.
The first thing to do is to build a fire. Luckily a passenger has a cigarette lighter. After getting dried out, a group of three is selected to find a way back to the nearest settlement, known to be around 25 miles to the south. The group returns with the report that the area is full of small lakes and streams. No telling how many miles we will have to walk.
Our group of twenty-four was divided into three, each of eight, to discuss how to solve the problem, take a vote and pick one member to join with the pick of the other two groups. These three were to discuss and vote on a plan.
After the plan was decided, a paper was read that was written from the advice of local hunters and trappers, which agreed with the plan adopted. The question: whether or not collective wisdom is better than the individual’s ideas.
Consider the following: Nicola Tesla, a man far ahead of his time, from an early age was extremely self-disciplined. Tesla had the uncanny talent for envisioning ways to construct a machine that would do what he wanted it to do. In his mind, he would work through the flaws and then build the machine without a blueprint. Tesla’s inventions, in many cases, were completely out of the realm of scientific theory.
Tesla changed the world with his inventions. This amazing man lived an obscure life and made few notes. Once he succeeded, something else exciting popped up to work on. No telling where we would be today if all of Tesla’s discoveries were known. Some called him mad. Tesla was one of a kind.
Where will the future of the world be with the death of free enterprise? America, along with the rest of the world, has been moving toward socialism. Today, one in six Americans exists on welfare. Many are uneducated Mexicans, here illegally. Think of how many people are incapable of coping on their own in today’s America. Alas, thousands of future welfare recipients are steaming across America’s southern border. The economy is suffering and the national debt is out of control. Still the push continues; that is, the lies, the frauds scheming, conniving politicians impose on the taxpayers for self-serving purposes.
The moment of truth is here. Is it to be self-discipline, self-reliance, and personal responsibility, or a big, all-powerful, corrupt government and zero personal rights? The decision will be made at the mid-term election, which is exactly two months from now.
Obama says history will prove him right. Where does history end? The first Americans came to a wilderness with the burning desire to be independent. All they asked for was the opportunity to build a life. They came from history: tyranny, hopeless poverty, zero opportunity. The American people, having listened to the spellbinders in Washington, D.C., had forgotten the power that lies within the individual. Is it to be socialist enslavement or the principles and values of the Founding Fathers? Like the morning sun burning off the mist, America is waking up to reality. The Obama Administration is not so powerful that it can change heaven and earth. Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.
I am a 67 year old grump living in Royse City Texas. I have had the good fortune to have grown up during a time of war. World War II was concluding and patriotism was at a climax. We fought a major war and ACTAULLY FOUGHT TO WIN!
Then came Korea and Viet Nam and the concept of wars for bragging rights and Presidential legacy. My Father served in WWII, Korea and Viet Nam. Praise God he returned healthy and whole. My family was one of the lucky ones. I served in the United States Air Force.
Patriotism faded into history and it became fashionable to spit on our warriors and badmouth the country and it's policies. This was the birth of the "ME" generation. Selfish and arrogant the followers couldn't find enough bad to say about America.
I was a lifelong Republican as well as republican. That has changed. I am an ex-county coordinator for the Constitution Party of Texas. I have lapsed into inactivity there as it was discouraging trying to drum up interest in the Constitution and other founding documents. My attempts at organizing fell on deaf ears for the most part and I tired of the effort. I am one of those dinosaurs that believe the Constitution means the exact same today it did when signed and ratified. It is not a "living" document to be bastardized according to whim or popular opinion. I believe that the nation was founded on God's "natural laws" and if it is to survive, it must return to those precepts.
I still write articles on occassion, but even that has slowed markedly. I am of the opinion that most "Americans" could care less what happens to them. I sincerely hope I am wrong. Perhaps this November and the aftermath will reinvigorate my combativeness. For now, I am tired. I observe and sometimes comment. I no longer preach or teach (yes I actually lectured on the Constitution and such). My wife and I will not pass by a member of the Armed Forces without thanking them for their service. It's the least we can do.
Perhaps, someday in the future, I will be called on to give up my blood and my life for the country. I fervently hope I am not found to be lacking in will or character when that time comes.
