I swore I heard that right. Did the President say this is our “Sputter and Nicked Up” moment? Was this the first time that he decided to finally come clean with the American people? I thought to myself, well at least he was being honest in his State of the Union speech. He’s finally breaking it to everyone that after his first two years in office he’s set the economy up for another dip… and a bad one. Yes I know that the stock market has been going up for the last couple months and other economic indicators have had minor upticks. This temporary uptick has been due to the FED pumping liquidity into the financial markets at a level nearly matching 90% of our current GDP.
But Obama has decided to come clean. He’s telling us when the FED’s stimulus runs out again, the economy is going to sputter, fall back into recession, and we’re all going to get nicked up. The latest stimulus by the FED is known as QE2 (Quantitative Easing 2). Why is it called QE2? Because QE1 didn’t work. Yes Obama was able to leverage QE1 to trigger a rebound in the stock market but that happens when the FED pours cash into the financial market. The impact of Quantitative Easing 1 stopped working in late April 2010, and the stock market swooned. continued...
People all over the world are fed up with their leadership. A great change is in the wind. But beware: predators are licking their chops. The leadership of Islam’s Brotherhood preaches that it wants every Jew dead. It’s crazy talk. There is no link. Political progressives, those leaders who have a vision of the way things ought to be, who try to force all the pieces to fit their wills, their end justifies the means—more crazy talk; there is no link. The Brotherhood and Fabian Socialists are two peas in the same pod. Their joint aim, complete control of the individual, is manmade. They live in La La Land; refuse to believe that man is not a herd animal.
“Exhibiting the majestic progressive order of the divine dealings of God with humanity,” wrote Reverend C. I. Scofield in the Introduction of the Scofield Reference Bible, the increasing purpose, as he put it, “which runs through and links the ages together, from the beginning of the life of man to the end in eternity,” I made a connection with Scofield’s observation that “The saying that ‘anything may be proved by the Bible’ is both true and false—true if isolated passages are used; utterly false if the whole divine revelation is in view.” I wonder if the average Christian minister or rabbi grasps the true meaning of human life. The Brotherhood doesn’t. When I was subjected to Christian preaching, I was turned off. I’m way ahead of them. The clergy lives in the past. It’s days are numbered.
Understand the increasing purpose and the scriptures harmonize, said Scofield and Augustine. “The Bible tells the human story,” says Scofield, beginning, logically, with the creation of the earth and of man. The story of the races, sprung from the first human pair, continued through the first eleven chapters of Genesis. The twelfth chapter begins the history of Abraham and of the nation of which Abraham was the ancestor. It is that nation, Israel, with which the Bible narrative is thereafter chiefly concerned from the eleventh chapter of Genesis to the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. . . The appointed mission of Israel was, (1) to be a witness to the unity of God in the midst of universal idolatry; (2) to illustrate to the nations the greater blessedness of serving the one true God; (3) to receive and preserve the Divine Revelation; and (4) to produce the Messiah, earth’s Savior and Lord.” Genesis 1:26—“Let us make man in our image,” what on earth are we about? It’s crazy.
With the faith that God was with me, all by myself, starting 35 years ago, I stuck my finger in the eye of the IRS—proved that I was more powerful than the whole lot of them. Believing that I had God on my side; I had the U. S. Constitution, the IRS misplaced power, and the courts don’t give me the Constitution, and God is out of bounds, I was not daunted.
U. S. courts are conspirators in the federal rip off called income tax. I took my case to the free press and got a front page story. Throughout, the IRS ate crow. I defeated the unholy frauds, big time. Did the American public pay any attention? No.
It wasn’t until 2010 that the public began to wake up, when the Tea Party came into being. You still don’t know the power potential of the determined individual. Take a good look at Governor Scott Walker, the most determined governor of the 50 states. Where did we get our power? It was born in us. We were predestined.
There is a lot you don’t know. It just so happens that we are leaving the Age of Pisces, entering the Age of Aquarius. While Pisceans are easily influenced and prone to accept external factors, Aquarians are determined and stubborn in their beliefs. Aquarians are prone to look deeply within for answers. We believe we are meant to be our brother’s keeper. While the Piscean symbol is two attached fish swimming in opposite directions, the Aquarian’s symbol is the water-bearer to humanity.
Bell’s theorem tests prove that objective reality, as it has been conceived, is not the true fabric of reality. The observer interacts with matter. A range of happenings is left open to the selection of the mind. Behind this selection is the will. This is the latest science.
“In earth as it is in heaven,” said Jesus, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and the righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Jesus said: “Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; for every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” The establishment is far, far behind the time. Wake up to the world you are entering. The new world order is nothing like you have ever even dreamed. The Brotherhood and Fabian Socialism are history. Don’t get left at the switch.
WE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE NOT LOOKING FOR REVOLUTION, ETHER RELIGIOUS OR CIVIL . BUT
WE DO WANT CLEAN GOVERNMENT & LESS GOVERNMENT, AND WE WILL FIGHT FOR IT. THE PEOPLE
IN WISCONSIN ARE MISGUIDED.

As I mentioned to some friends, due to the amount of money the President is borrowing from the Chinese, Obama is no longer able to refer to the Chinese leader as Hu Jintao. Now Obama is required to call him Hu JaDaddy. To paraphrase Jay Leno, the bad news is the Chinese Leader came to the White House this week. The good news is he said we could keep it.
However I’m not picking on the Chinese. I’m opposed to the United States owing that amount of money to anyone. Let alone a country that crushes dissent in their citizens, imprisons their Noble Prize winners, thinks that America is a temporary aberration in history, and has nuclear weapons pointed at us. In any debtor relationship, you lose authority and the ability to negotiate from a level playing field. Anyone who doesn’t think it matters where you borrow money is a fool. Just ask a person who has ended up in “cement shoes” in the waters off of New Jersey whether it matters. But I digress…
Personally, I’m not as concerned about what our debt to China says about them as what is says about us. The reckless increased spending by the Obama Administration is not primarily being driven by building infrastructure, fighting a war, or funding social security. Continue...
The Debt Is Just Too Damn High!
Our new Speaker of the House John Boehner is too busy shrinking from Nancy Pelosi’s shadow to be of much use to anyone. He is calling for and losing key votes that are an embarrassment to his party. He is not paying attention to the mandate the American people gave him and the Republican Party last November, or to his own campaign promises.
To make matters worse it would seem that most of the new Republican leadership since assuming the reigns of power have joined him and turned into what the “Governator” would call a bunch of “girlie men”. Surely Nancy Pelosi must have left a pound or two of brass behind somewhere.
Reps. Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Rogers and Issa among others all started out balls afire, swore they were going to turn this ship of state around, starting day one. So far their efforts have been more like “window dressing” and hype. They have set very poor examples for the entering freshmen. They have been dodging the hard votes. They were re-hired to force the hard votes, to cut spending, with a machete, not a scalpel! De-funding Obamacare completely in the 2011 CR would have yielded over $105 Billion in spending cuts, more than their target $100 Billion in other areas. It would have been a doubling down and shown how serious their commitment was. The promise or pledge to repeal, de-fund, stop it or otherwise “Kill Obamacare” was the defining issue on Nov. 2nd, 2010 and nothing has changed!! Wait, back up, the judge in the 26 state lawsuit against Obamacare ruled it un-constitutional!! That alone should have been reason enough to completely stop any and all spending for Obamacare
.
The only thing they have shown they are serious about other than a few rules changes is the continuation of “business as usual” in the “Swamp”. A paltry $60+ Billion in cuts is like changing the curtains when the windows are cracked and leaking! What happened to all of the tough talk when the present leadership was in the minority just a couple of months ago?
We do have leadership in the House; folks that meet the definition of a leader, that could serve and would not hesitate to stand up for us and our principles and values. Rep. Mike Pence, Rep. Steve King, Rep. Michele Bachmann, Rep Paul Broun, Rep. Jack Kingston, many in the freshman class and many others are all honoring their pledges to us and care deeply about our Constitution and preserving and defending it.
Our current Republican leadership is more concerned with maintaining the status quo and relationships across the aisle than honoring their promises. One would think that after being kicked around viciously for 4 years, and after the runaway spending that was jammed down our throats this last 2 years, that there might be a sense of urgency about turning things around. Alas, it doesn’t seem to be materializing.
They, and we, have another chance to extend some more spending cuts and that is by refusing to raise the debt ceiling permanently!! Enough is enough and somewhere, at some time we have to draw the line. The time is now, and holding the line on the spending limit is the where! With just a “smidgeon” of the brass it took for the Democrats to jam us with Obamacare, the Republicans can keep the debt ceiling capped where it is, or with no more than a temporary bump, till spending cuts catch up if it becomes necessary. Remember we have had over $3,400,000,000,000.00 ($3.4 Trillion dollars) of deficit spending forced on us in just the past two years!! It should be relatively easy to find enough cuts to not have to tamper with the debt ceiling permanently.
Leaving it alone, or guaranteeing only a temporary bump up, would send tremors around the world that we are serious about addressing our debt crisis. It would give businesses another solid measure of assurance that their investment in new jobs would make sense! And wish upon wish, think what would happen if we were to reduce it slightly!!
It is high time to rein debt in. Any stimulus not spent, rein it in. Obamacare spending, rein it in. Across the board spending cuts in all agencies, rein them in. Duplicative program and agency cuts, rein them in. Want to save the value of the dollar, rein the spending in. Want to head off inflation, rein the spending in. This is a no-brainer folks!
Don’t believe for one minute the nonsense about the possibility of the US Government defaulting on its debt. The interest we pay represents just a small part of our overall spending and is the first thing we would pay in order to not spark a worldwide financial crisis and meltdown. Any one insinuating that we might default is an outright liar or totally delusional. At worst we would have to furlough federal government workers for a few days (Hmm…sharing the pain?). Treasury Secretary Geithner says we may hit the ceiling by March 31st 2011, maybe, maybe not. There is an option, however. Tie a temporary increase to substantial and immediate spending cuts that would automatically return the ceiling to the present level or lower within 6 months!
Call your Representatives and let them know that you want to rein in spending, NOW, and to start with not raising the debt ceiling permanently!! Ever increasing debt is not a forgone conclusion. It is the result of foregone irresponsibility. Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202)-224-3121 or (202)-225-3121 also Toll Free at (877)-762-8762 ask for your Representative by name and also call the leadership and tell them: “The debt is just too damn high”!! Do Not Raise The Debt Ceiling Permanently!! Stop Talking and Stop The Spending Now!! Show Some Brass!!

Ah, yes, Joseph, you are right, only you left out 99 percent of the truth of the matter. I note with puzzlement that deficiency in a number of the people—1 percent right and 99 percent wong. I wonder how long you’ve been here, Joseph. What I witness in America today is utterly confounding. When I was 19 years old, I was witness to the ruins of Nazi Germany. I wondered how the German people could have ever allowed the Nazis to take charge of their lives. Now I know, and you’ve helped, Joseph.
Our Constitution grants us the right to pursue happiness in our own ways, as long as we don’t take other people’s right for the same; that is, redistribute the nation’s wealth. It is not only unconstitutional, it is about as stupid anyone can get. Unions are great as long as they adhere to constitutional principles. Unions are headed by people with Nazi mentality. They have power and control. They don’t believe what they preach. They are not for the good of all. The same is true for progressive politicians.
What is going on in Madison, Wisconsin is a political game based on power and control. More than half of the American people, in one way or another, depend on government. It’s bankrupting the nation. But Joseph, you would not know that those with Nazi mentality would call Governor Scott a Nazi.
To those of you who are government entitled, what if government told you it was going to have to significantly cut your government check; it doesn’t have the money. You depend on your entitlement. Would that be fair? Of course not. What are you to do? The big spenders would be quick to ask that question. What would you be forced to think about those who robbed you of your existence? I would bet my hat that you would be on the street protesting.
You have been dumbed down—taught to believe the rich are greedy and grasping. If you are rich, it is more than likely that you took a risk and put out a lot of effort. We won’t mention those who took the risk and lost everything they had.
If you are successful in business, it is more than likely that you hire people. In fact, seventy percent of the jobs in America are attributed to the people I mention. The money they make doesn’t all go in their pockets to spend. A lot goes into expansion of their businesses. Obama wants that money. He does not want the money of corporate executives earning millions of dollars. They gave generously to his election. Obama bails them out with our money.
Giant corporations, whose money comes from thousands of stockholders, who take the risk, are too big to fail. They fail largely because it isn’t their money they throw away in failed Ponzi schemes. Politicians and the managements of giant corporations, birds of a feather, don’t live by the moral code of ordinary folks. Including union heads, they are not for America. They are strictly for themselves.
Ever since the Great Depression, political games—redistribution of the wealth—not unlike Nazi games, have sought to make the American people dependent on government. Why should Washington be in charge of redistributing our sweat? We must be out of our minds. We are now seeing the consequence. The super rich are in the game with politicians. Tax the rich is a joke! Pfizer has four times been fined for felony with the intent to defraud. In 2010, Pfizer paid a $2.5 billion dollar fine. It represents people being taken by Pfizer’s snake oil remedies. That money fined didn’t go to you, did it? It was distributed to the cronies of Washington’s Nazis. Congress gave Pfizer a tax break that put $47 billion in Pfizer’s pocket, and you wonder why you are paying outrageous prices for your drugs. It costs $200 million to get FDA approval on a health remedy. The drug industry is in cahoots with Washington to keep new remedies off the market, in order to sell remedies that kill us. We must be sick in the head. Why are not politicians talking like I’m talking?
Thanks to out of control, lawless government spending, the choices are getting slim. In a few days, Congress is going to be forced into raising the debt ceiling. If the increase is not approved, the majority of the American people will not receive the things they depend on government giving them. If the debt ceiling isn’t raised, the big spenders will win. The Republicans don’t have the American people behind drastic cuts in spending. I was for not allowing the increase until I analyzed the situation. It’s going to take time and the full truth from those we elected. And don’t think the opposition isn’t going come back swinging. Those we put in office are afraid to tell it like it is. We’re going to have to grab the ball.
Government does not produce; it spends. If you tax the rich more, the rich are not going supply jobs. Then government supplies jobs with your money. You think the rich, with their money in the bank, should have it taken from them in taxes, so it can be spread to the people in need. The basics are totally ignored. Your government is killing the goose that laid golden eggs. The American masses are too dumbed down to know that. They cannot relate Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, or Communist China with what America’s government is up to. It is ironic that over 90 percent of America’s blacks vote for politicians bent on making them slaves again. Ask them where the money they receive comes from. They will tell you it is Obama’s money. You and I have no right to our money, unless we are willing to fight for it. That’s the way it is.
It is incredible to me how easily people are influenced. There is a reason. The easily influenced are Piscean in nature. I’m Aquarian. I’m stubborn in my belief. Do you want to get left at the switch, Joseph? You need to climb aboard my bandwagon. We are leaving the Age of Pisces.
I am not a public employee. Public employees are not the problem or the enemy. The retirement fund lost billions in Wall Street speculations that went awry. Ohio's govenor would know about that! Employees followed the rules. Your community's teachers, police officers, paramedics, firefighters, street and highway workers, and others are NOT the enemy or to blame. We live here, pay taxes, work hard, and are trying to support our families, too. If you are a public employee or even if your not we didn't cause this problem. We just have to live with it.
Are Republicans seeking to force a shutdown of the federal government?
Should we do 'Whatever It Takes' to balance our budget and reduce spending?
Get This: House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, said on Feb. 17 that he won’t accept a short-term extension of the government’s current spending authority without cuts.
How far is too far?
Should Congress approve short-term extensions with spending cuts in the interim?
The Republican-controlled House voted 235-189 to cut at least $61 billion from fat-cat spending! This could set the stage for a dog-fight with Dems! If so that dog-fight could bring government to a standstill after March 4! That is when the current continuing resolution expires.
So, do what it takes? Or play it safe?
Too Big to Fail by Andrew Ross Sorkin, the inside story of how Wall Street and Washington secretly fought to save themselves, is just part of the story. It includes all of the biggest corporations in America. But to say capitalism is at fault is the same as saying guns kill people. Common sense tells us otherwise. Common sense says that too much power in too few places kills people by the hundreds of millions.
Incidentally, I wonder who is running the stock market up. I wondered why people rushed out to buy a home when common sense said the bubble was going to burst. What is going on is inexplicable. Every day something is brought to my attention to think about and write about.
Russell L. Blaylock, a nationally recognized neurosurgeon, asks if vaccines bring more harm than good. They contain dangerous amounts of aluminum. Aluminum increases the immunization effects, but it is absorbed by the brain, and every time one is vaccinated. This can cause all manner of health problems, including death. And this is absolutely unbelievable. Government does not require vaccine manufacturers to submit to independent safety studies. One of the chief concerns is contamination. Many vaccines are manufactured in unreliable China.
It costs $200 million dollars to get your health remedy FDA approved, but once you are in you are pretty much home free. It keeps the completion out, competition that would otherwise sell safer cures at a fraction of the price. And how about this: Pfizer pled guilty in 2010 to “felony with intent to defraud.” They paid a fine of $2.3 billion, and this was the fourth time they pled guilty to intent to defraud. If you think this hurt Pfizer in any way you are wrong. A single tax law was enacted in 2004 that allowed Pfizer to reap $37 billion in profits. It’s a conspiracy for which the dumbed down public pays. It isn’t capitalism that it at fault, not anymore than guns kill people.
In the Middle-East, they call America the Great Satin. The American people are great fools, but in no way are we the fools that Middle-Easterners are showing themselves to be. The reason I’m not believed is because people all around the world depend on others. As the consequence, control freaks are moving fast to take over the world.
In my case, 35 years ago I cut from the herd and went on my own. In my case, I employed the most powerful legal tool of all times, the U. S. Constitution. I was transformed into one who got what I wanted out of life. If everyone knew the power potential one has within, we would not have control freaks in control of our lives. We would know we can be anyone we want to be, and have anything we want, without government help.
Theory that regards the absence of direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society, that which my Webster’s College Dictionary calls anarchy, would be in place of what we have. Instead of allowing ourselves to be small and insignificant, we would all know the power potential each has. If it works for me, it can work for you.
I repeat: The change is not going to be to Islamic Brotherhood, or Obama’s wild dream, a world socialist dictatorship. The brotherhood is the one Jesus pointed out. It’s his second coming, with the individual in control of his life, doing unto others as he would have others do unto him.
Joseph Finkle is disappointed in us. We got a lot of Joseph Finkles. I'm going to accommodate Joseph, talk about relevant things.
It is not enough that America’s government insists on protecting us at the cost of government perverts groping us and other government thieves robbing us at airports. I read about a victim of government who turned on his CFL light and fire shot out like a blowtorch. When this light burns out, there is a chance that the ballast can start a fire, said his Fire Marshall. The light was made in China. Pass this on to your friends.
And while we are at it, the Islamic Brotherhood is strongly on the minds of some of us. Why is it of little concern to others, and even a sign of progress to some? Maybe Joseph could tell us. An analysis tells us the strong concern is in those of us who value our individuality. Those who have little concern over the Islamic Brotherhood are socialist minded. Those who see the Islamic Brotherhood as a positive move are socialist revolutionaries. Hey Joseph, am I right or wrong?
Common sense tells us what Obama is. He calls himself a born again Christian. If he had read the Bible, which he obviously has not, he wouldn’t be saying that. Christ taught that I am my brother’s keeper—singular. Obama’s outrageous claim needs further explanation. If we were to all believe we are our brother’s keeper, then, collectively, we would all be saved. Joseph, am I right?
But this is not for Obama, Joseph. He places his desirable end—of being our brother’s keeper—ahead of the individual. That’s Sharia law: for the good of all, the individual is naught. Sharia law comes from the ancient idea of employing the sword to gain control.
Now Joseph, you know there is evil in the world, so how do we know evil? In the Bible, Jesus, the humblest of men, left us his message of brotherhood. His appeal concerned the inner self—and the “Higher Law”—Jesus called the kingdom of God, the idea of being self-governed, which happens to be what America’s Constitution makes plain, its background the “Higher Law.” But wouldn’t you know, Obama wants to change the Constitution. Joseph, is this what you want? Your president wants to be our keeper, his idea, collective salvation; that is, the good of all, as he sees it. Is that what you want, Joseph?
All governments have a hierarchy, “and even the best of men are liable to be corrupted by passion,” said Greek philosopher Aristotle. Jesus said, “No man can serve two masters.” The choice: the inner self or the men like Obama liable to be corrupted by passion.
I wonder, Joseph, how ancient man came to conceive of “as in earth as it is in heaven,” Jesus’ statement in the Lord’s Prayer.
As I look back on my life, I was on track, arriving at every station on time. The big change in my life, right on schedule, according to astrology, I could either fly with eagles or fall into the abyss. That was in 1975, right where the world is now. Now in the twilight of life, if my life could be any better, I don’t know how. I looked within for my answers.
Sorry President Obama. You are not destined to have it your way. Do you agree, Joseph? What we witness in the world today is causing a reactionary groundswell. The change is not going to be to Islamic Brotherhood, or Obama’s wild dream, a world socialist dictatorship. The brotherhood is the one Jesus pointed out. It’s his second coming, with the individual in control of his life, doing unto others as he would have others do unto him. O.K. Joseph, I'm being relevant.
Obama, Lame Duck Semi-Conservatives
Sabotaged Nation
America is now standing at the critical crossroads of fiscal- and Constitutional-destruction brought about by over a century of progressive (we must “progress” beyond the outdated and ill-conceived Constitution if we are to make “progress” toward our Socialist-Marxist utopia on earth) politics. This foolish progressivism has created a severe insolvency fiasco both in the states and the federal government created by 109 years of overstepping the Constitution. Right now the problem seems to be assaulting our states more severely because the federal government has shown itself willing to impoverish the people and the states by destroying the American Dollar, a resource thankfully not available to the individual states. How did we get to this sad situation? It all began with the compromises of the 2010 Lame Duck Congressional Session.
The most sensational sites for this national progressive shipwreck, besides Washington, D.C. itself, are found in a dozen moderate to high profile states. The strikes and nonsense now playing out in Wisconsin are likely to soon see ugly sequels in California, Illinois, Arizona, Nevada and even perhaps in Florida, Rhode Island, Oregon, Washington, and Michigan. Meanwhile two other states in very bad fiscal condition (New York and New Jersey) appear to have a great chance of avoiding Wisconsin’s fate because their two governors (Andrew Cuomo and Chris Christie, respectively) have shown immense backbone and common sense in attacking their state’s debt crisis head on and their state legislative bodies have largely kept out of their chief executives’ way; not so in Wisconsin where the entire Democratic senate had refused to come to work and is now hiding out in Illinois. How did we get to this sad situation? It all began with the compromises of the 2010 Lame Duck Congressional Session.
The situation in the nation stood dramatically better on election eve, 2010 than it stood on New Year’s Eve 2010-2011. The deterioration of the prognosis owes itself to the idiocy of the semi-conservative Republicans holding forth in the 2010 Lame Duck session who caved into President Obama’s demands on virtually all fronts instead of standing strong and letting the newly-elected representatives and senators deal with Mr. Obama’s foolishness in 2011. At that time Mr. Obama’s “strong”-approval rating showed a minus -18 percentage points, while today in many polls the overall (mild + strong approval and disapproval ratings) ratings show President Obama has climbed from 41% overall approval and 56% overall disapproval (a -15% overall rating) to showing him at +2% (51% to 49%) a dramatic increase in the president’s perceived competence after Republicans compromised with the President’s agenda.
It’s to be hoped that House Speaker John Boehner and his chief lieutenants Ryan, Simpson and Cantor and their House Republican colleagues . . . learned volumes from the failures of Newt Gingrich dealing with the clever Bill Clinton and of the recent 2010 Lame Duckers in facing Obama. But just in case they haven’t, here are the lessons they should learn:
1. DO NOT compromise on principles. Make a stand for statesmanship.
2. Do NOT compromise on the Constitution: follow your promises from the 2010 Republican “Pledge to America” 100% to the letter.
3. Do NOT compromise on taxes, spending, deficits, borrowing, the national debt or the entitlement mess. Save our country.
4. Do NOT compromise with our Marxist president on any single thing. He wished to gain re-election. He can only do that IF he appears to American voters as a reasonable and center-dwelling politician. Make the Marxist skunk show his stripes.
5. HOW does the G.O.P. save this country?
By never giving in and fighting the president tooth-and-nail at every step of the way, that’s how. Specifically: don’t swing for the fences, make solid contact on every ball and be content with walks and singles. If baseball is NOT your cup of tea, look at things this way, the battle before them is a marathon not a sprint . . . because every easily-gained compromise makes Barack Obama look reasonable and statesmanlike. Every grudging compromise by Obama shows his true ultra-socialist colors plainly for the entire country to see.
The G.O.P. was elected by landslide numbers across the country to stand up to the president and his apocalyptic philosophy of spending, taxes government interference and unfettered government growth. They must do what they were elected to do . . . bring sanity back to Washington. Sanity without the presidency or the senate means only one thing: deadlock. If the issues that doomed Democrats to wide scale defeat in 2010 are still foremost in the voters’ minds, the Senate and the Oval Office can be won and sanity can prevail. If Obama through slight of forked-tongue can make himself appear “reasonable” to the electorate and re-elected in 2012, there is no limit to the harm that our nation will face (bankruptcy will be the smallest part of it). It’s a strategic battle . . . a chess game.
Rajjpuut has coached children as young as two years old to become strong chess players and helped some of them earn five Colorado Chess Team Championships in the elementary, middle school and high school divisions in Colorado. No matter what the game involved (or the personal, military or commercial requisite) is, strategy always comes down to this:
1) Play so that the opponent’s weaknesses become the key factor in the game. If he’s got an exposed King, a bad Bishop or tripled Pawns . . . make them stink up the board.
2) Play so that your own weaknesses are irrelevant.
3) Play so that your opponent’s strengths are irrelevant or unusable.
4) Play so that your own strengths are the dominant factor across the whole board.
5) Play aggressively if possible; or play defense so tenaciously that the opponent will face a lot of tough situations and in frustration will eventually slip however slightly.
What are Obama’s weaknesses? What lost the Democrats so much in 2010? Obama has said directly, he does not “wish to re-fight the battles of the past couple years.” Obamacare; willingness to tax; willingness to spend; creation of huge deficits; cap and trade and other EPA interference; card check; his inconsistencies and lies of the past four years (starting in January, 2007, when he declared his candidacy for president); his apology-tour foreign policy; putting federally-paid abortion in Obamacare; stopping drilling in the Gulf; creating inflation; weakening the dollar; taking over the economy so that government went from 15% control to 58% control of American life; the Beer Summit; and now his refusal to show leadership in financial matters but rather to provide a ludicrous and irresponsible federal budget. The biggest weakness of Barack Obama is a combination of 1) The Democratic Party’s part in CRA ’77 legislation (Bill Clinton expanded it four times; three times legislatively) 2) His connection to ACORN and Clinton’s Connection to ACORN and 3) When Bush was trying for 30 months to repeal CRA ’77, the Democrats stopped him and all of that led to the meltdown in late 2007 and 2008 via the sub-prime lending crisis.
What are the conservative's potential weaknesses? Social-conservativism especially as attached to anti-abortionism is largely unpopular. It is, however, popular to prevent federal funding of abortion, such as President Obama swore he would to get Obamacare passed, IF the G.O. P. can confine itself to that: no problem. And of course the Lame Duck compromises showed Obama that some conservatives will not stand up for their principles.

And of course the Lame Duck compromises showed Obama that some conservatives will not stand up for their principles.
What are the G.O.P.’s strengths? The TEA Party “Contract from America” and the G.O.P. “Pledge to America say 90% of it all. If 60% of voters became familiar with these documents, Obama would have trouble getting 30% of the vote. The Republicans have also appeared more statesmanlike over the past two years and reasonable; and conservative-fiscal and Constitutional-conservativism is the approach that won the day on Election Day, 2010.
What are Obama’s strengths? People don’t look at the truth of what he’s saying because they want to like him so much . . . thus, he can get away with almost anything and Republicans have not held his feet to the fire. For example, the President has never told Americans that he worked as an ACORN attorney shaking down mortgage lenders to force them into compliance with CRA ’77 and he even went so far as to tell his “car in the ditch story” in at least 150 speeches while the Republicans were so foolish as never to expose Obama’s ACORN activities; CRA and Cloward Piven’s role in the meltdown; or Bush’s efforts to undo CRA ’77 and prevent the sub-prime lending crisis which led to our financial meltdown. This truth has never been revealed or understood by the voters as a whole, and until it has been, Obama will personally seem almost unassailable . . . .
The TRUE CAR IN THE DITCH Story
In January, 2005, President George W. Bush saw that progressive Democrats, ACORN, Clinton and Obama were deliberately pushing the car (our American economy) toward a 500-foot ditch. He jumped in the driver’s seat and grabbed the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes. Despite Democratic opposition for 30 months, he was able to guide it into the nearest friendly-looking ditch by July, 2007.
Since that is the 100% truth which 96% of Americans don’t know and since that underlined word “deliberately” ties the whole thing to the progressive movement and the aims of Cloward, Piven, George Wiley and Wade Rathke and to the ACORN presidencies of Obama and Clinton . . . no matter what obstacles the lamestream-mainstream media throw in their path, that history of treachery must be revealed.
Here are five “fact paintings” to push the point into America’s permanent memory:
#1: In 1975 before CRA ’77 only 1 in 404 home loans was “suspect,” that is issued at 3% down-payment or less. America in 1975 with 62-65% private home ownership is the envy of the world. That solid beneficial status rests upon the accepted standards of long years: a 20% down payment requirement for home buyers and great credit ratings. CRA ’77 FORCED home lenders to knowingly make stupid loans to unqualified recipients at ultra-low down payments.
#2: In 1985 after eight years of CRA ’77 and ACORN operating in Clinton’s Arkansas alone and in no other states: 1 in 196 home mortgages was suspect. That is the rate of bad loans has doubled just from ACORN browbeating lenders in one state, Arkansas.
#3: In 1995 after three CRA ’77 expansions by Clinton (two of them legislatively) and the expansion of ACORN nationwide: now 1 in every 7 home loans was suspect. By the way, Barack Obama worked as an ACORN attorney during this era, browbeating mortgage lenders into making knowingly horrific loans to bad risks.
#4: In 2005 following seven years of Clinton’s 1998 “steroid-version” expansion of CRA ’77: 34%, roughly 1 in every 3 home loans was suspect with many issued with 0% down-payment. Thanks to Clinton’s ’98 steroid expansion of CRA ’77 it’s now easier for ACORN to force home lenders to put an unqualified would-be home buyer into a $440,000 home than it was a decade earlier for Barack Obama and other ACORN attorneys to put the same person into a $110,000 home . . . and it’s now far more likely that the loan recipient a) won’t have a job or b) won’t even have a rental history or c) won’t even have I.D. or d) will list his only “income” as food stamps; or be on welfare or e) will have a terrible credit rating or f) will be an illegal alien.
#5 Luckily Al Gore didn’t win the presidency in 2000. Gore was a big believer in CRA legislation. Instead George W. Bush is elected between the two ACORN presidents, Clinton and Obama, and rather than driving the “car” into the ditch by incompetence as Obama loves to imply, Bush keeps the economy from utter ruin created by the deliberate actions of ACORN in abusing CRA ’77 (a deliberate Cloward-Piven effort to overload the system and create chaos using Saul Alinsky tactics) and prevents it going over the cliff, but rather he steers it into a friendly ditch and away from the abyss the progressives were pushing us toward. It happens like this . . . .
In January, 2005, George Bush makes the first speech (of 19 speeches he’ll make in the next 30 months) on the dangers of the CRA ’77 law and its expansions seeking repeal of the worst aspects of the laws. However, the bill he supports is defeated by the progressive Democrats and various compromise bills will continue to be defeated by them until a very weak version of his bill is finally passed in July, 2007. It is, of course, too little and too late and the sub-prime lending crisis is soon underway. Nevertheless, the new law Bush passed is hailed in August 2010 by Obama’s Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner as saving the country’s economy from a truly hideous recession and an absolute meltdown in housing prices.
These truths, of course, are as unpopular with the mainstream, lamestream media as Bush himself was . . . yet, these are the truths that will set the country free . . . These truths; the “chess-like” strategy mentioned above and simple patriotic stubbornness*** are the secrets to dealing with Mr. Obama and his progressive ilk.
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

*** D. Morris at his website dickmorris.com put it like this:
“If the Republicans hold firm in demanding huge spending cuts and Obama does not give in, the question of whether or not to cut spending will dominate the nation's political discourse for months on end and will spill over into the 2012 election.
“To assure that it will, the Republicans should hold firm to their budget spending cuts without surrender or compromise. If necessary, it is OK to vote a few very short-term continuing resolutions to keep the government open for a few weeks at a time, always keeping on the pressure.
“When the debt limit vote comes up, they should refuse to allow an increase without huge cuts in spending. If the debt-limit deadline passes, they should force the administration to scramble to cobble together enough money to operate for weeks at a time.
“If Obama offers a half a loaf, the GOP should spurn it for weeks and months. Then, rather than actually shut down the government, let them accept some variant of their proposed cuts but only give in return a few more weeks' time, at which point the issue will be re-litigated. Don't go for Armageddon -- just keep fighting the battle.
“Same with the debt limit. Extend it for a few hundred billion dollars and then go back for more cuts in return for a further extension. Make Obama pay for each continuing resolution and each debt-limit hike with more cuts to spending.
“Always avoid cuts in Medicare and Social Security. Save those for after 2012. For now, focus on Medicaid block granting and discretionary spending (including some modest cuts in defense).
“Like a guerrilla army, never go to a shutdown (a general engagement) but keep coming up with cuts, compromising, letting the government stay open for a few more weeks, and letting the debt limit rise a few hundred billion, and then come back for more cuts and repeat the cycle.
“And don't just demand spending cuts. Go for defunding of Obamacare, blocking the EPA from carbon taxation and regulation, a ban on card-check unionization and constraints on the FCC's regulation of the Internet and talk radio. Put those items on the table each time, each session.
“Every time the issues come up, every time the cuts are litigated, Obama's efforts to appear to be a centrist will be frustrated. Time and again, he will have to oppose spending cuts. Over and over, he will come across as the liberal he is, battling for each dime and opposing any defunding.
“Obama's campaign strategy has two elements: Change the subject from the 09-10 agenda and move to the center. A tough, determined Republican budget offensive, embracing all these elements and fought in this guerrilla style, will frustrate both and lead to his defeat.”
As a 65 year old woman, I have seen a lot during my years on this earth. Back in the 1950's when I was in grade school, the McCarthy era was at hand, and I did think that was the best thing that ever happened. We need a little McCarthyism today. In the 1950's, my dad was a night school student at St. Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri. There were communist teachers back then too. Washington University in St. Louis, one of the most elitest Universities, had communists also teach on their campus. Everyone new who they were. In those days, students were taught what communism was, what to look for, and what life was like in communist countries.
Today, there are more communists than ever teaching in all of our schools in general. Today, American History is not really taught as it was then, and even back then, there was a progressive bent to it as well.
The teachers I had taught us, we learned, we were also taught how to learn. In addition, we were taught how to think and analyze. We were taught how to make decisions and use common sense. Today, children and adults are taught to be robots--to repeat what they want us to know. We are no longer encouraged or taught how to think, but what to think.
An example of this is global warming. For believers, we believe God is in control, man is not. So if that is true, that God is in control, all we need to do is be good stewards of the earth--we do not polute, we clean up and keep things clean--and I do not mean environmental controls. Lets face it. A person whose car is burning oil would get their car fixed if they had the money. No one likes the smell of burning oil. We are told sugar is bad for you. And we are told fat is bad for you. So everyone changes their diets to accommodate.
Now, what we have are people using chemicals instead of the real stuff--the natural stuff--which used in moderation is good for you. The chemical stuff, on the other hand, actually has proven to be more harmful for you.
What we need is a commitment to education. I have a masters degree in curriculum and instruction. And I, for one, would like to be a part in reforming our educational system. Many school districts are having to cut their budgets now, cut teacher's benefits, etc. That is not a bad thing because of the stats of public school education that loom at us like a bad hair day. Only thing is, it will take a decade to try to straighten the system out. Something is wrong when 67 % of the high school students attending college or a university, are not scoring high enough on even placement tests to be placed in college level classes and must take at least one if not all three remedial courses, two semesters of each in reading, writing and English. These are basic--stuff they should have learned while in grade school and high schools all over the nation. Our children all know how to make a baby, they know to experiment with life styles, etc. But they can't read, write, and do even simple math. There are no moral values and virtues, nor character being taught in most schools. This has got to change if we are to survive as a nation.
If any of you feel education needs to be a top priority, please post, and if there is a site on which to become involved for education reforms, please guide me to it.
Thank you so much for reading this soap box position.

With his new budget, Obama not only ducked our economic problems, he gave it his famous finger. What was it that Tennessee Ernie Ford said -- "Another day older, and deeper in debt! Saint Peter dontcha call me, 'cause I can't go. I owe my soul to the company sto'e (that's the White House, my friends)" Debt, debt, debt. Debt for you, for me, for our children, and for our grandchildren. It's sinful, and the man in the White House has no conscience.
