“If the folks in the Gulf were angry about the six-month drilling moratorium Obama sent them, this is a permanent moratorium on Gulf oil drilling operations . . . did you even notice? Put down that %&$(*$@%)#$% remote! Our country is being sent down the toilet and you’re watching television?” Rajjpuut

Would you Vote to Give America Away to the U.N.?

For all those of you who just can’t believe that America and the American dream are expendable in progressive-Democratic** eyes, open your eyes NOW. The United States House of Representatives under Democratic control (specifically led by Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer) and only needing a simple majority to pass any bill just voted to put great chunks of our oceans, our coasts and our oil under control of the United Nations. Would you vote to do that? Would you authorize your representative to do that. The Senate will soon take this matter up for vote. Would you authorize your state’s senators to vote for this?

we showed you a monstrous truth that apparently the Republican leadership hasn’t got the brains, guts or testicles to put out before you. Today’s truth about the so-called “CLEAR ACT” HR 3534 . . . .

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-3534

shows you just exactly what happens when Americans are too busy watching their sit-coms and Irreality TV shows and too busy to pay attention to what the progressives (“we need to ‘progress’ beyond the outdated and flawed United States Constitution in order to bring about a Utopia here on earth”) in government are doing to us. In a nutshell . . . while most Americans are twiddling their thumbs and dipping their potato chips into unhealthy triple-cheese concoctions the global-thinking progressives in the House have just voted to give away our land, oceans and adjacent land masses and even the Great Lakes to an international body which will make us pay $900 million per year 2040. Would you vote for that? Would you authorize your rep to vote for that; or your senator to make it a law this coming week?

HR 3534 is designed to put America back into the year 1905. But it is far worse than that . . . . It is first of all: UNCONSTITUTIONAL. HR 3534 mandates membership in something called “the Law of the Sea Treaty” without the required two-thirds vote to ratify it in the U.S. Senate as is required of all treaties the country enters into. It creates permanent obstacles to normal American energy operations. It will be a permanent roadblock to American and drive American companies out of the Gulf permanently, delay future drilling, increase dependency on foreign oil, and will implement climate change legislation and youth education programs; but most important, it mandates membership in the Law of the Sea Treaty without the required two-thirds vote to ratify it in the U.S. Senate. If the folks in the Gulf were angry about the six-month drilling moratorium Obama sent us, this is a permanent moratorium on Gulf oil drilling operations . . . did you even notice? Put down that %&$(*$@%)#$% remote! Our country is being sent down the toilet and you’re watching television?”

We won’t dwell on how evil all this is, after all, you deserve it if you’re not paying attention and especially if you voted for progressives in the last three elections (about 85% of the Democrats and 10% of the Republicans in the House and Senate) . . . but, now that your eyes are open, are you going to let them pass this bill in the senate without a whimper from you?

** If you’ve been paying attention, you know that the progressive control of this country is now pushing 100% for Marxist aims . . . two months ago, a liberal think-tank did a poll in which 55% of Americans said the label “socialist” was fitting for Obama . . . well 90% of Americans haven’t paid attention. Obama is a Marxist and Marxists think globally (Workers of the world, UNITE!) and in their thinking, not just rich Americans but all Americans must “suffer a little” to redistribute wealth globally for the benefit of all (From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.) and if you haven’t the brains or guts to realize what’s happening, it’s called a “Fire Sale” on America.

MSM Leaves Out Two Little Details

Concerning Bell, California Scandal

When your small-town government officials vote to pay themselves four times the going rate for cities five times your town’s size, that’s a big story. When the town is going bankrupt by leaps and bounds the story is complicated. When unemployment floods the city, that’s more complicated. When the mainstream media chooses to omit two crucial details of the story that makes everything so much more intriguing, no?

The story broke at the start of the summer, no big deal but full of the human interest that drives so many stories during hard economic times. The city of Bell, California, a Los Angeles Country suburb of L.A. was suffering like virtually no small town in southern California had ever suffered . . . whatever the source of the joblessness and poverty growing upon Bell, public activism was NOT the preferred solution. You see, Bell’s problem might have arisen from voter apathy. Only 400 votes were cast in Bell’s 2005 election designating Bell as a charter city. An extra-large number of those 400 votes were suspicious absentee votes. Later in March of 2007, Bell held its first contested elections for city council in over a decade.

As Bell’s problems grew, nearby towns in Southern Cal were also suffering. In July 2010, when two L.A. Times reporters, Jeff Gottlieb and Ruben Vives, began investigating possible malfeasance in a neighboring city but got distracted when they discovered Bell city officials were receiving unusually large salaries, perhaps the highest in the nation. Indeed, the city payroll was swollen with six- to seven-figure salaries. City Manager Robert Rizzo received $787,637 a year (almost double the salary Obama receives. Including benefits, Rizzo received $1.5 million in the last year. His assistant Angela Spaccia, was earning $376,288 a year, more than the top administrator for all of L.A. Country. Police chief, Randy Adams, was paid $457,000, 33% more the Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck. The threesome resigned following initial news reports and a huge public outcry.

And then more facts came to light. All but one member of the Bell city council were receiving $100,000 for their part-time work, and all these salaries were SHOCK!! authorized by that 2005 special election, giving the city Charter status. Council members in cities of Bell’s size typically make less than $5,000 per year.

Ten days ago the California Attorney General's office filed a lawsuit against eight former and current employees, demanding return of "excessive salaries" and a reduction in pension benefits accrued as a result of those higher salaries. Apparently, the problem has only been getting worse since the 2005 Charter City election. Both the FBI and California Secretary of State’s office are investigating allegations about improprieties in the 2009 election and the city's ultra-high property taxes are also being investigated.

Apparently, virtually all of Bell’s residences and buildings were over assessed and overtaxed between 2007 and 2010. This week former city manager Robert Rizzo, Mayor Oscar Hernandez, former assistant city manager Angela Spaccia and council members George Mirabal, Teresa Jacobo, Luis Artiga, George Cole and Victor Bello were arrested and charged with misappropriation of public funds. Police Chief Randy Adams has resigned under pressure and been replaced. Of note, the media have had a field day kicking Bell around but two little details about the town’s plight have been conveniently missing from every MSM (mainstream media) story so far . . . only FOX News noticed that Bell calls itself “a proud sanctuary city” and that all eight of the problem officials were Democrats.

Interesting, just as they’ve left the party tag off Charlie Rangel (D) and Maxine Waters (D) and downplayed or omitted news about their scandals, the MSM seems to only believe (R) –Rated scandals require party mention.

So Bell, California, has been run for at least thirteen years by a Democratic machine; moved itself out of the umbrella of state law with a questionable charter city election; deliberately overburdened its systems by making itself a sanctuary city for illegal aliens and definitely got the progressive government it so-deserved with virtually no one going to the polls to keep their crooks honest. Sounds like Washington, D.C., eh?

John Newton was a terrible man. He joined the British Navy and was so bad they left him in Africa. Newton became a ship’s captain, plowing the slave trade, a fitting occupation for a man of Newton’s character.

One night in a storm at sea, Newton found God. He left the sea and became a minister of the Gospel and song writer. Newton wrote Amazing Grace. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I first was lost and then was found, was blind but now I see.

I went to sea. In a storm, God’s hand was on my wheel, and not only that, during my two years at sea I saved six other lives from a watery grave. Coincidental with Newton, I emerged with a new life and purpose.

On Good Friday, 1975, I departed my old life—without noticing that I left on the day Christians remember as the day Christ was crucified. As I look back on my life, there have been several symbols that connect me with Jesus. Ahmabinejad’s brain-dead statement at the UN that the United States set up the 9-11 event reminds me that on September 11, 2001, the day Ahmabinejad’s murdering Muslim friends took down the World Trade Center, I was writing my memoirs. I had written about the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, which happened on the first date with my wife, Karen. We were hiking on a nearby mountain trail. I had connected that event with the legend of the Phoenix, a bird that after living several hundred years immolated itself on a pyre and from the ashes began a new life. It is a symbol of after the calamity, hope and renewal. My thinking was that the 9-11 event, the same, was an omen. Accept for Obama and socialist friends, we are coming around to that way of thinking.

For my 85^th birthday, on September 17, Karen gave me The Scofield Study Bible and The 5000 Year Leap, the leap being from Jamestown in 1607 to today’s America. The residents of Jamestown had no more than the civilizations of 5000 years ago.

We read in The Scofield Study Bible that Jesus’ message was not about our hereafter in the kingdom of God but a new message of personal discipleship. Under The Sermon on the Mount (Mt.6:10), we read, “Thy kingdom come. (End of that thought.) Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. (Another thought.) . . .Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets (Mt. 7:12) . . . Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are raving wolves (Mt 7:15). . . Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Mt. 11:28).

It was the Constitution that gave me my bigger than life calling. I felt that voices of the past were speaking to me. It was those voices that placed me on the ocean away from all the influences of my past. It was the sea’s womb that gave me new life. It was at sea that I discovered the power that lies within me. From that point, my life got better and better.

The Miracle That Changed the World, The 5000 Year Leap, lays out twenty-eight principles America’s Founding Fathers adhered to. The first: “The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relationship is natural law.” The second: “A free people cannot survive under a Republican Constitution unless they remain virtuous and morally strong.”

America now faces the usual choice when an empire is near collapse: Individual freedom and self-reliance or cradle to grave poverty. What comes around goes around. A reminder is the fall of Rome and the thousand year Dark Ages.

It is astonishing how closely history follows astrology. We read in The Scofield Study Bible, astrologers were led by the Star of Bethlehem to Jesus’ birth. Jesus’ birth coincided with the beginning of the Age of Pisces, the symbol of which is two fish swimming in opposite directions. History in the past 2,000 years bears out what the symbol implies. We are now leaving the Age of Pisces, entering the Age of Aquarius.

Symbolic of Aquarius rising, the photograph on the front cover of The 5000 Year Leap, the planet Earth from space with the sun peeping over the horizon, I was born when the sun rose in the east on Aquarius. The planet Uranus is on the ascendant of my chart.

Uranus, my ruling planet, had transited to a position opposing itself, meaning significant change was likely, and so it was. I departed my old life. In The Rising Sign under “Aquarius Rising,” we read, “The planet Uranus is on the ascendant of the chart of the United States. Freedom of speech and opportunity was the cornerstone of the Constitution.”

We read in Astrologer’s Handbook, under “Aquarius,” “Individuals born under the sign of brotherhood and fraternity have as their symbol the water-bearer, who spills out to mankind the life-force and spiritual energy.”

Can we be our brother’s keeper and at the same time capitalistic? Not when government is our keeper. Under America’s free enterprise system, we are our own keepers—and we help those who can’t help themselves. We believe in faith, hope, and charity. The 5000 Year Leap lays out 28 principles that guided America’s Founding Fathers. The first: The only reliable basis for sound government and just human relationship is natural law. The second: A free people cannot survive under a Republican Constitution unless they remain virtuous and morally strong, the first and second principles eliminate socialism and support capitalism.

We read that Pisceans mentally absorb the vogue. They are easily influenced by external factors. They desperately want to do the right thing, but usually weak willed—Astrologers Handbook’s thoughts. “Too big to fail,” both Bush and Obama policy, is not capitalism; it’s fascism. Big means corrupt. This Aquarian hopes to soon see the bigger they are the harder they fall.

Pisceans are prone to be led down globalists Al Gore’s, Hillary Clinton’s, and Barack Obama’s corkscrew garden path. The indications are that globalists are on the way out in America, along with the Age of Pisces. The odds are good that the Age of Aquarius is in, an age of sound government, just human relationship, and natural law. We’ll know in a few weeks.

Colbert Congress Clown Act as Nancy Applauds;

Leftist Corruption Spills Over onto

Defense Funding Authorization Bill;

MS Media Go Along with Dem’s Ploy

The Democrats controlling both chambers of the congress have apparently lost all sense of decorum and more importantly, all sense of duty to the people. At congressional hearings costing $125,000 to the taxpayers, they invited Stephen Colbert to perform his comedy act in congress in the guise of serious treatment of the illegal immigration issue. Mr. Colbert partway through his routine was asked to leave and make a written report by a wise Democrat, but refused. While Mr. Colbert was entertaining . . . .

1. We still have no defense funding . . . because . . . .

Thursday, September 22, saw another Obamanation of a bill killed on the Senate floor in a 56-43 vote. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his left-favoring friends needed 60 votes to move the bill forward. Reid had practically guaranteed the bill’s failure by limiting the debate on the bill to three Democratic amendments and by attaching a wide menagerie of leftist gobbledygook to the bill. Including in all the INappropriateness were: 1) a provision for repealing the so-called “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell bill which prevents openly gay recruits and openly gay actions in military surroundings 2) the so-called “Dream Bill” which would give illegal aliens green-cards for attending our high schools and invite illegals into the military 3) Hate Crimes legislation 4) A ban on transfer of prisoners from Guantanamo to the United States for any reason 5) Repeal of NSPS, the National Security Personnel System 5) Wind Turbine legislation 6) and a direct tie-in to Obamacare.

2. We still do not have a federal budget for this fiscal year

3. 100% of the leftist print media and broadcast media covered Colbert but gave NO coverage to Republicans and Democrats telling why they would not vote for the Defense Authorization.

4. 100% of the leftist print media and broadcast media covered Colbert but none gave coverage to the Republican Party’s “Pledge to America” released yesterday.

http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/pledgetoamerica.pdf

5. 100% of the leftist print media and broadcast media covered Nancy Pelosi’s enthusiastic response to Colbert but gave no coverage to the need for a vote on extending the Bush Tax Cuts.

6. 100% of the leftist print media and broadcast media covered Colbert but failed to cover the Civil Rights Commission revelations of new testimony against Eric Holder and Julie Fernandez and the Department of Justice on two issues a) dropping the case against the Black Panthers caught on videotape intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place in 2008 and b) their revelation that Fernandez and other top DOJ appointees had said that the DOJ had zero interest in prosecuting or investigating cases of Black intimidation of White voters or other civil rights violations against Whites.

7. Colbert’s antics got far more coverage than Obama’s weak response to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defiance of the Obama administration’s policy of appeasement and useless sanctions and Ahmadinejad’s accusation that America was the actual perpetrator of the villainy of September 11, 2001.

8. $125,000 worth of taxpayer money funds the time required for the average congressional hearing.

Great job Dems, great job mainstream media.

Hi everyone. As you know an army of hackers attacked Facebook, Twitter and several Tea Party sites the past week.

Several Tea Party sites did not survive. We did!

Because several of the members quickly notified our staff of the attack we were able to call in help and stop the attackers dead! But not without damage, several hackers screen captured their horrible porn and vile pictures as they displayed them on our and several other Tea Party sites, posting them on blogs and e-mailing them.

Over 20 to 35 million users were disrupted across the internet. Therefore, we have raised our security protocol and added more procedures in the posting of photos and videos.

Our site is safe and secure. Never forget, we are at war!

While Obama and his administration work to control every social aspect of our lives, the need to learn and understand our Founding Documents couldn't be more critical. What is the purpose of government, and what are its limitations? Important to know, and critical to enforce -- by the people. Because government will not do so on its own, as we have painfully witnessed over the past 20 months.

BLOOMBERG WANTS TO BE A KINGMAKER

He wants to remake the Republican Party under the label Moderate. http://bit.ly/9GYbIk

I'm asked often about what drove me to start this movement. Part of it is the Patriotic Oath the other is understanding of Life Experiences. Below is our mission statement followed to a inquiry by an AP Student:

“The Tea Party is a political organization that will bridge the gap of all parties, in particular Democratic and Republican Parties. It will welcome all peoples and ideological perspectives, with the intent to streamline government and adhere to the Constitutional Rights addressed in the U.S. Constitution, and by God above.”

In 5,000 years of civilization, not one of the past remains. Civilization, under the tutelage of the Obama Administration, is now heading for one-world socialism, taking from rich nations and giving to poor nations. The poorest Americans are rich by world standards. Goodbye America.

In 1607, England’s King James established Jamestown in a totally hostile environment, in what is now Virginia. The residents had little more than the first to civilize 5,000 years earlier. Of the 9,000 who came, only 1,000 survived. From Jamestown, America’s pioneers, from trial and error, were ready in 1887 to accept the U.S. Constitution. There were no brand new ideas in it, but never before had so many good ideas been put together in a basic scheme of government. America became the envy of the world. America became the richest most powerful nation on earth. President Obama and the Democrats running for reelection don’t like America’s original Constitution. They insist on continually rewriting it, each time with less individual rights and responsibilities, and with each writing more government control.

Today, there is serious talk about scraping America’s Constitution altogether, replacing it with Marxist government. Not one civilization in 5,000 years has given humans what they want: individual happiness and self-realization. There never has been and never will be a government that gives anyone happiness and self-realization. So forget it. The individual is expendable. That’s the answer we get from Washington.

We’re now faced with a choice: a system that says happiness and self-realization is up to the individual, or the individual doesn’t count. In the latter case, it is not civilization that really counts; it is the dreams of control freaks that really count.

With America’s control freaks on my mind, in 1973 I studied the Constitution and came to the conclusion that my happiness and self-realization was all that counted. Everyone I knew felt it was a terribly selfish point of view. At the time, my life was in a state of chaos. No one had answers. There was my individual situation opposed by all the people with the right to vote, and I was expendable. To hell with that idea. If I was to get a life, I was on my own.

On Good Friday 1975, on the day Christians commemorate as the day Christ was crucified (not planned), I drove out my driveway and never returned. I did not begin my new life with happiness and self-realization. Far from it, there were all manner of road blocks put in my way. For cutting out, I deserved to be crucified. Christ’s answer: “Forgive them, Father. For they know not what they do.”

After my departure, I went to sea on a 37 foot sailboat. At sea, I was strictly on my own in an environment that could turn life-threatening in minutes. No one was there to save me from a watery grave, save “Higher Law.” Miraculously, I survived and saved six other people during my time at sea. I left my life at sea captain of my ship, and with the faith that a higher power allowed me to live the life I was intended to live.

It began with my notion, and from the Constitution, that in spite of the risk I could overcome all obstacles and proceed with my own life. My life has been getting better and better. I’ve just passed age 85, and the best year yet.

In review of my life, when I departed in 1975, on Good Friday, I had no thought of religion or Christ. All I had was voices of the past encouraging me in the Constitution. I felt a bigger than life calling. Much later I found Jesus on my own. Christ’s crucifixion stands as symbol: after the calamity, hope and renewal.

The Iranian Muslim, Ahmadimejad, at the United Nations claimed that the United States orchestrated the 9-11 attack. Muslims want to build a mosque next door to ground zero. U. S. Marxist control freaks approve of the mosque. I think of the 9-11 event as a symbol: after the calamity, hope and renewal.

It all fits. We are leaving the Age of Pisces, an age of authoritarian rule and weak wills, entering the Age of Aquarius, an age of strong wills and brotherhood. Along with the new age comes new science, recognizing consciousness as essential in the mix of things. We humans are observers. Our minds interact with the aspects of matter; that is, the microcosmic world of infinite possibility. A thought doesn’t have form or figure, but from it comes manifestation. We make our reality. Which is better, the individual’s reality, or society’s reality, the individual expendable—one individual with power to decide which individuals exist and which don’t. At the present, the IRS, unconstitutionally, has the authority to decide who has a roof over his head and who doesn’t. What’s next?

The choice: take a chance or go on a sure thing: moral, spiritual, and fiscal bankruptcy. Chance favors the prepared mind. If you accept mine as the right ideas, please pass them on. Our future depends on it.

There I am enjoying the comedy of an insurance comapany's comercial ad on TV and then it's followed by an attack ad on Sean Duffy (R) and his campaign for the 7th Congressional District in Wisconsin. I listened to it as the Assistant District Attorney for Ashland County discribed Mr Duffy taking up the campaign and leaving his responsibilities as the District Attorney. It is powerful and to the point, I guess you can liken it to calling in sick to interview for another job at the expense of the customers of Ashland County and the services they paid taxes for. Sean has some explaining to do and so does the Assistant District Attorney. I mean, doesn't "assistant" mean to assist? But I degress....it is after all normal for a citizen to take up the challenge of running for political office. I mean how many clients did Attorney Abraham Lincoln leave hanging while he campaigned? Or how many days did then Senator Obama actually spend on the senate floor while he campaigned for President of the United States?

It didn't take long during the airing of the ad to (pardon the pun) add it up. You see, we all have a responsibility to serve our community and our nation in one form or another. When a citizen decides that they want to serve in an elected office they are in effect throwing their ideas and values in the ring. It is that action that allows us as voters to make a resonsible and responsible decision as to who or how we vote. Now, the politicain who aired this ad did not give a reason to vote for them. Rather it gave me reason to ask what happened to that responsibity when Obama was running? Or why can Abe Lincoln do it and not Sean Duffy? Wasn't John Kennedy a Senator at the time he ran for office? Julie Lassa a Assembly Member? Tom Barrett a large city mayor? Instead of airing her issues on how she would SERVE us....she attacked him. Julie Lassa would have better served me by informing me how she would stand on the issues in Washington.

Leadership is a responsibity to who you lead and to who you serve. And leadership, as I was mentored to lead, sets the example for others to follow. An example of it reminds me of Robert Dole who decided to run for the Presidency. In doing so, he bid a tearful farewell to his staff, fellow Senators and to the people of Kansas whom he SERVED for 27 years and resigned. He knew that his services as senator would be diminished while on the campaign trail. THAT is setting the example.

Now.....Lassa, Duffy.....or anybody else. Can you set an example for others to follow? If you can't then just stick with the issues and how you will sevre We The People.
