big lie (2)

Isn’t it about time the Republicans and other conservatives grew some testicles? Instead of cowering before the Big Lie that conservativism drove the car (the economy) into the ditch (deep recession), isn’t it about time the Republicans stepped up to the plate and unveiled the “Big Truth,” the monstrous truth?

Obama Tut-Tuts GOP 'Pledge'
as Echo of Failed Policies
Calling the Republican’s new Pledge to America plan "an echo of a disastrous decade we can't afford to relive," President Barack Obama dismissed the idea as an invitation to redo failed policies. Our Marxist president proselytized on his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday attacking House Republicans over the "Pledge to America" unveiled this Thursday. The Pledge’s promise to restore the Constitution’s 10th Amendment, cut down on government regulation, repeal Obamacare and end his stimulus program was criticized heavily by the president who, of course, wants more government, more spending now “to handle this ongoing crisis.” Unmentioned was the huge part played by the President and other progressives in creating the financial meltdown that began officially in 2007, but which had built up over 30 years of progressive politicians interfering in the mortgage markets.
Seemingly oblivious to the truth, the President said, "The Republicans who want to take over Congress offered their own ideas the other day. Many were the very same policies that led to the economic crisis in the first place, which isn't surprising, since many of their leaders were among the architects of that failed policy," Obama said, continuing, "It (the Pledge) is grounded in same worn-out philosophy: cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires; cut the rules for Wall Street and the special interests; and cut the middle class loose to fend for itself. That's not a prescription for a better future." While NOT using his infamous car-in-the-ditch analogy, the President once again resorted to the Big Lie (a propaganda tool) insisting that all of the nation’s woes were created by conservatives and republicans and the free market.
Isn’t it about time the Republicans and other conservatives grew some testicles? Instead of cowering before the Big Lie that conservativism drove the car (the economy) into the ditch (deep recession), isn’t it about time the Republicans stepped up to the plate and unveiled the Big Truth?
That truth, in a nutshell can be stated this way correcting Obama’s favorite bedtime story:
Using the same Cloward-Piven** strategy (that DELIBERATELY created the bankruptcy of New York City earlier between 1967 and 1975 by a planned overloading of the welfare rolls) . . . beginning especially after 1992, ACORN, OBAMA, First ACORN PRESIDENT Bill Clinton, and oodles of progressives (94% 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!
Let’s explain the Big Truth:
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. Unmentioned in their Big Lie is that before Progressives deliberately (see the link above) decided to correct our “broken housing situation” the United States was the envy of the world with 62-65% private home ownership. The system wasn’t broken. 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 the same laws they’d just created. 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. By 2005 34% of all home loans were ill-advised loans to people who couldn’t ever hope to pay off their mortgages, in other words a 133 times worse bad home loan percentage occurred in 2005 than in 1975 back when the progressive wing of the Democratic Party decided to fix what wasn’t broken.
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 a planned overloading of the welfare rolls) . . . beginning especially after 1992, ACORN, OBAMA, First ACORN PRESIDENT Bill Clinton, and oodles of progressives (94% 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!
One last thing to clear up, who were Cloward and Piven and how did they get this all started? Richard Cloward and Frances Piven and Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are disciples of Saul Alinsky, self-described “neo-Marxist Chicago community organizer who wrote Reveille for Radicals in 1946 and Rules for Radicals in 1971. Cloward and Piven, two Columbia University (NYC) professors wrote an article in 1966 published in The Nation magazine called The Weight of the Poor: a Strategy to End Poverty which has come to be known as Cloward-Piven strategy. Cloward and Piven put forward a plan to overload the welfare system and thus force (they thought) the country via the left-wing of the Democratic Party to establish a GNI (guaranteed national income) thus ending poverty in a single stroke.
With community organizer George Wiley in 1967, Cloward and Piven created the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO) which by 1975 had used shake-downs and brow-beating a la Saul Alinsky to put eight million extra people on the state and city welfare rolls. In 1975, New York City went bankrupt and had to be bailed out by the federal government; and New York State came within a whisker of the same fate. While not acknowledging they’d failed to force the creation of GNI, the threesome bragged publicly about the “great thing” they’d accomplished and suggested that the next two areas for street-action needed to be housing and voter registration.
In 1976, Jimmy Carter was elected president and one of his first deeds was passing the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA ’77). In 1977, a Wiley lieutenant named Wade Rathke already in Arkansas and working with a rising politician Bill Clinton (30 years old elected the lieutenant-governor of the state in 1976) . . . Rathke created ACORN to take advantage of the new law. In those days the “A” in ACORN stood for Arkansas. They weren’t very effective at first but they did help Clinton win the governorship in 12 of the next 14 years. Later among Clinton’s first two acts as president was a regulatory overhaul of mortgage-guarantee legislation to give it more teeth especially its connection to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; and passing the Motor Voter Act (a twelve-lane highway to voter fraud) with Cloward and Piven standing right behind him in the official signing portrait (all over the internet).
As mentioned already, Clinton (the First ACORN president) besides his regulatory revamping of CRA ’77 went on to expand the law three more times and Barack Obama was in the trenches a la Saul Alinsky (Obama taught courses in Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” in Chicago for several years) . . . so once again we remind you to notice the word “deliberate” within the Big Truth:
Using the same Cloward-Piven** strategy (that DELIBERATELY created the bankruptcy of New York City earlier between 1967 and 1975 by a planned overloading of the welfare rolls) . . . beginning especially after 1992, ACORN, OBAMA, First ACORN PRESIDENT Bill Clinton, and oodles of progressives (94% 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!
By the way, going back to our headline claiming the Republican leaders have been neutered and need to grow a new set of testicles: the Republican response to Obama was absolutely pathetic. They used their own radio address to defend the plan and here was the closest they got to showing strength: "The new agenda embodies Americans' rejection of the notion that we can simply tax, borrow and spend our way to prosperity," said one of the Pledge’s authors, California Rep. Kevin McCarthy. "It offers a new way forward that hasn't been tried in Washington _ an approach focused on cutting spending _ which is sadly a new idea for a Congress accustomed to always accelerating it." Like Rajjpuut said, "Republicans, grow a pair!"

“Liberal Motto: Speak loudly and carry a small victim” chapter one title of Ann Coulter’s book GUILTY: Liberal ‘victims’ and their assault on America

Crocodile Tears from the Left

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.

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.

** 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.
