Gone With the Wind

Posted by Joseph Whitworth Smith on May 24, 2010 at 11:11am

The Mayan Calendar calculated that the world would end on December 21, 2012. Their prediction was predicated on an astronomical alignment of the sun, at the winter solstice of 2012, with the center of our Milky Way galaxy. It happens only once every 26,000 years, and the same for the Age of Aquarius. Astrologers and the Mayans were aware of “what comes around goes around.”

The Mayans predicted a time of great sadness, that over-population, the lack of natural resources, and greed would bring down their civilization, bringing, therefore, a new beginning. What it would be remains a mystery. However, what was said gives us a clue. They said that “for half there would be food, for others misfortune. A time of the end of the word of god, a time for uniting for a cause.”

In the Bible’s story of the beginning, “God said, Let us make man in our image” (Gen. 1:26). In John 1:1, “in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” In Greek, “word,” logos, logos is defined (in Greek philosophy) as the rational principle that governs and develops the universe; in Christian theology, the divine word or reason incarnate in Jesus Christ. To the Mayans, their sun god, word and reason connect, reason fundamental to the law. In Middle Age England, they called it the common law.

In Law Professor Edward S. Corwin’s The “Higher Law” Background of American Constitutional Law, we read, “The conception of the higher law pervades the Middle Ages; it also becomes sharpened to that of a code distinctively for rulers. (Pay attention, Obama.) In the pages of the Policraticus of Englishman, John of Salisbury, the first systematic writer on politics in the Middle Age, one learns that ‘there are certain precepts of the law which have perpetual necessity, having the force of law among all nations and which absolutely cannot be broken.’” “You picked a fine time to lead us, Barrack.” You’ve got it in the reverse, Obama. We’re transforming into the beings we are intended to be. Read on and learn what I learned.

After I read The “Higher Law” Background of American Constitutional Law, I was motivated to act on my constitutional rights. I saw my action as a bigger than life calling. Miraculously, my life was transformed, instead of toward dependence on the state, toward independence and reliance on my inner God-self. All of my dreams came true.

Getting back to the Bible, in the introduction of the Scofield Reference Bible, America’s most popular Bible, we read, “The Dispensations are distinguished, exhibiting the majestic, progressive order of the divine dealings of God with humanity, the increasing purpose which runs through and links together the ages, from the beginning of the life of man to the end in eternity. Augustine said: ‘Distinguish the ages and the Scriptures harmonize.’”

In his introduction, Scofield points out 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.”

According to quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker, in The Physics of Consciousness, in Chapter 18, “A God for Tomorrow,” Walker, quoting T.H. Huxley, “Extinguish theologian’s lie about the cradle of every science as the strangled snakes beside [the cradle of] Hercules.” Following his quote, Walker says, “materialism has served us well. It has enlightened us. It has brought us closer to many truths. But science’s investment in materialism has itself turned into a creed, with its own high priests ready to torment the unorthodox.” (Walker is seen by his colleagues as an unorthodox scientist.)

Says Walker, religion is dying a slow death. Say I, bring in social justice, the politics of doing for the good of all, and the religious jumping on the idea like a Mockingbird on a June bug, they are singing, Darling, I am growing old. Says Walker, in agreement, that the earth might be “freed of the self-righteous,” those “who raise the specter of eternal condemnation, those who instill guilt in children and the frail of mind, and those who have inflicted pain, inflamed hatred, and fostered wars in the name of this or that religion,” say I, “Amen to this truth.”

Says Walker, in speaking of a god for tomorrow: “it has only been with the advent of quantum theory that we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. . . Consciousness exists. And for the first time we have used the instruments of scientific investigation to fit its existence into the overall tapestry of reality. For the first time, we understand what consciousness is.”

Says distinguished philosopher and cultural historian Richard Tarnas in Cosmos and Psyche, speaking of “radical social thought and political movements, technological and scientific revolutions, erotic emancipation, and the unleashing of the forces of nature, of violence and destruction, and of self-destruction,” he says we are now in “a cycle of crises and contraction,” a three to four year cycle, with a “widespread sense of epochal closure: the ‘end of an era.’” With Saturn in unfavorable alignment with Pluto, says Tarnas, it means “decadence, naiveté, denial, and inflation.” Just by coincidence, this unfavorable alignment happens in the month Obama was elected and ends with the end of Obama’s term of office.

Coincidentally, I was born, on September 17, 1925, at 4:51 P.M. C.S.T., in Houston, Texas. You astrologers can look me up and you will find that I’m Virgo with Aquarius rising—and that Saturn, the learning planet was trine Pluto, the generational planet, when I was born. A trine is the most favorable of Saturn-Pluto alignments. Is it Obama’s thinking you want to follow or this Aquarian with Saturn trine Pluto? Astrologer’s Handbook, under “Saturn Trine Pluto,” “This trine gives the natives the ability to understand the laws by which subtle forces are organized. . .They are able to work slowly and make fundamental and irrevocable changes in their own and others’ lives. Often there s a sense of destiny or a peculiar karmic mission which they must fulfill.” My mission was assigned to me by voices from the past. When I learned my Constitution, I had a bigger than life calling.

I’m Aquarius rising, an Aquarian messenger. Astrologer’s Handbook, under “Aquarius:” Individuals born under this sign of brotherhood and fraternity have as their symbol the water bearer, who spills out to mankind the life-force of spiritual energy.”

Joseph Campbell, one of the leading authorities on myths, in speaking about his work, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, said: “heroes in mythology are written about because that’s worth writing about. Someone who can create something more than the normal range of human experience, someone who has given his life to something bigger than life,” taking note that “the world is full of people that have stopped listening to themselves or have listened only to their neighbors to learn what they ought to do, how they ought to behave, and what the values are that they should be living for,” coincidentally, in Astrologer’s Handbook, we read under “Pisces,” “Pisces is a sensitive sign and those born under it are extremely responsive to the thoughts and feeling of other. They unconsciously absorb the ideas and mental outlook of those around them. They desperately want to do the right thing, but as a rule they do not have strong willpower.” Under “Aquarius,” we read, “Aquarians have eccentric temperaments and are determined and stubborn. They sometimes feel that those who are listening to them are unreceptive and incapable of comprehending their ideas, and they tend to become annoyed when people fail to understand them.”. . Aquarians operate as equals among equals. However, they are not dependent on their environments for their security, because they derive this from being in the company of others. Do you want to follow my thinking or Obama’s thinking?

With the end nearing fast, and the Sword of Damocles hanging over us, Astrologer’s Handbook: The natives of Saturn trine Pluto, and Aquarians, with tremendous willpower, relentless in working toward a goal, who will lead the way? According to quantum physicist Walker, we have found God’s hiding place. “Some have failed to see any place—any space—where God could reside, and other have failed to see where any consciousness could hide within the atoms of matter. . .Consciousness, the substance of this newfound reality that defines the observer, has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality.” The quantum mind knows a dimension of infinite possibility, says the cutting edge of science. So, believe it or not, the end is the beginning of an age when anything is possible.

Those who have faith in their fathers, but still hunger for some god we can all know, are beating a dead horse. Referring back to Scofield’s introduction, don’t take isolated passages out of the Bible as God’s word. View the Bible in its overall context. Remember Scofield’s advice. You are here with the “progressive order of the divine dealings of God with humanity, the increasing purpose which runs through and links together the ages, from the beginning of the life of man to the end in eternity. Augustine said: ‘Distinguish the ages and the Scriptures harmonize.’”

Rajjpuut's Folly: Rasmussen Polls Show Americans Much More Fed UP

Posted by Bob VanDeHey on May 24, 2010 at 10:44am

Rasmussen Polls Highlight Big Opposition
to Obama Socialist Agenda

If socialism and big government are the desired ends, Americans are not buying it according to the highly accurate Rasmussen Reports polling service.

Item: 68% of Americans are against boycotts of Arizona over their new Immigration law. While Obama and the federal government are permitted 17 specific powers, 55% of voters would like a law like Arizona’s in their own state because they don’t believe the federal government is protecting our borders.

Item: when it comes to terrorism, 52% of voters say we are NOT safer today than we were on September 10, 2001 just before the 9/11 attacks.

As the rest of the poll data shows, it seems that in the voters’ eyes Mr. Obama is NOT doing what the federal government is supposed to do and doing everything else instead. It also appears that Americans do NOT want to be ruled from the left . . . or the right or the center, but want to rule themselves:

Item: 72% do not believe Congress knows what it’s doing when it comes to the economy. Along those lines, 41% expressed the opinion that a group of people randomly selected from the phone book would do a better job than Congress.

Item: Rasmussen’s Daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows President Obama’s favorability rating stands at -18 with only 25% of voters highly approving of the job he’s doing and 43% highly disapproving. Overall 44% at least somewhat approve of the President’s work while 55% disapprove.

Item: It appears Nancy Pelosi was wrong when she said, “We’ll just have to pass it so people can see what’s in it (and you’ll love it)” in reference to the Obamacare health measures. 63% of American voters now favor repealing the bill. As a move toward socialism, roughly 390 separate government agencies are created by Obamacare – just one law. In contrast only 40 separate federal agencies were created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in just over twelve years in office. Obama has been in office fifteen months.

Item: 65% of all Americans and a surprising 51% of Democrats now espouse “mainstream”^^ views up from 62% in March and 55% in September. Only 4% now support the “political class” (those numbers are staying steady at the lowest such reading in Rasmussen polling history). When “leaners” are included 81% align with the mainstream and 12% trend toward the political class.

Item: 67% of mainstream America consider Obamacare “bad for America” while 77% of the political class believe Obamacare is “good for America.”

Item: 76% of Americans say they trust the voters more than they do the politicians and 71% see the federal government as a”special interest group” looking out mainly for its own welfare. 70% believe that the government and big business generally work together for their own benefit against the interests of the people.

Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

Rajjpuut

^^The three questions used to calculate the Political Class Index are:

-- Generally speaking, when it comes to important national issues, whose judgment do you trust more - the American people or America’s political leaders?

-- Some people believe that the federal government has become a special interest group that looks out primarily for its own interests. Has the federal government become a special interest group?

-- Do government and big business often work together in ways that hurt consumers and investors?

To create a scale, each response earns a plus 1 for the populist answer, a minus 1 for the political class answer, and a 0 for not sure.

Those who score 2 or higher are considered a populist or part of the Mainstream. Those who score -2 or lower are considered to be aligned with the Political Class. Those who score +1 or -1 are considered leaners in one direction or the other.

In practical terms, if someone is classified with the Mainstream, they agree with the mainstream view on at least two of the three questions and don’t agree with the Political Class on any.

The Buck Stops . . . Somewhere

Harry Truman was a colorful president, to say the least. He wasdefinitely the sort of person that tales and legends grow from but thisone, at least, has photographic evidence: a sign boldly stating “Thebuck stops here” on one side (“I’m from Missouri” reads the other) satprominently on his desk. Right or wrong, and people have been debatingmany of his decisions since he made them, Truman was willing to take thefallout. How often do we see that in a politician?

Massachusetts is showing a new level of obnoxious . . .

Rajjpuut's Folly: Obama's Power-Grabbing Repeately Violates 10th Amendment

Posted by Bob VanDeHey on May 24, 2010 at 2:24am

Patriotism: a High-Demand Commitment

Part II: Guaranteeing Our Freedoms

Audacity of Presidential Power-Grabbing

Abhorent to Nation’s Founders

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalism

http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2009/06/01/meaning-of-federalism/

http://www.umt.edu/law/faculty/natelson.htm

In the first installment of this series on constitutional-conservativism
(http://rajjpuutsfolly.blogtownhall.com/2010/05/19/obama,_mainstream_media_label_tea_party_insurgents.thtml) we looked at freedom, per se. Rajjpuut continues with a close look at personal and state freedoms as discussed in the all-important 10^th Amendment, sometimes known as the “Federalism Amendment.”

Barack Obama is the national nightmare that some supporters of the Articles of Confederation and other anti-constitutionalists back at the nation’s founding strenuously condemned. Seemingly ignoring all seventeen of the allotted powers (enforcing our borders; standing up to our nation’s traditional enemies; obeying the uniform laws of bankrupties; and keeping treaties with our friends are all powers which Barack Obama has not chosen to exercise according to the folks in Arizona; South Korea; certified creditors of GM in Indiana; and allies in Poland to name just a few instances), Obama has made himself a picnic in abusing the constitution by advancing powers NOT granted by the Constitution. Many thought that Franklin Delano Roosevelt grossly overstepped the bounds of federalism with the 40 new agencies his administrations created. Barack Obama created almost 390 new agencies just in one law: Obamacare.

The powers of the federal government are listed in Article I, Section 8. They are available for anyone to read and simple to understand. More importantly, these powers

A. follow a simple, predictable pattern and

B. Much discussion was also made of which powers the federal government definitely did not have and should not have.

In its obvious general outline of powers for the federal government which amount to the 17 specific powers allowed, the Constitution provides for a government which protects the nation’s borders and defends against foreign invasion by maintaining an efficient army and navy; deals with custom and tariff matters; conducts foreign relations including war and treaties; settles disputes among the states and facilitates trade and intercourse among the American people and states and with the peoples and states within sovereign foreign nations.

Before looking at the powers the founding fathers refused to grant to the federal government, it’s crucial to understand that in a federal system such as ours the efforts over the entire two hundred plus years of the nation’s existence to turn the states into “departments or extensions” within the federal government . . . that is, into mere “administrative units” of the national govermnet is the greatest single threat to our nation’s survival as the founders foresaw and planned for it. Recent “States Rights” discussions (that is, up until the contemporary furor in Arizona over that state’s immigration laws and the 21 State “rebellion” against Obamacare directiives for the states that would literally bankrupt every state both calling for a new appreciation of the 10^th Amendment to the Constitution) arguments were as insipid as the notion that people wishing upon stars might somehow influence the cosmos to somehow influence our fates. Lyndon Johnson’s expansion of the “Welfare State” is the prime example of this insidious trend both in Welfare itself and in Medicaid especially . . . the states were turned into administrative arms of the federal government’s policies. Nixon’s policies of “federalistically” turning over large grants of federal monies to the states has undoubted great practical value, but only confuses the issue . . . why is that money in the federal hands in the first place?

Federalism, and specifically the 10^th Amendment, is the single greatest system ever devised for the protection of individual and state liberties and for providing counter-balance to over-reaching by the federal entities. Powerful centralized government is the threat to our listed freedoms and to freedom of action. That is, because we don’t have LISTED LIBERTIES for the individual or the states . . . but they are free to do whatever is not listed as criminal . . . we have true liberty. Confusion about the limits of federal government must be cleared up and must be always aligned with the intents of the founding fathers if this blessed state of liberty is to prevail. All powers NOT listed in the Constitution are specifically reserved for the states and individual citizens.

And just how far has the nation strayed from this wise path? Virtually no one today understands the breadth of discussion, consideration and debate that ensued once it was popularly agreed that the Articles of Confederation were too weak. During the argument going on over possible adoption of the Constitution, the Constitution’s advocates also enumerated powers the federal government absolutely would not have. The Bill of Rights was, one answer to critics. The most Republican document in the world still stands us in good stead 223 years after its creation. But the biggest protection, the thing that satisfied virtually all the Constitution’s detractors was the addition to the Bill of Rights of the last of the original Amendments: the 10^th Amendment. The federal government would NOT be granted the potential for unlimited power but severely limited in power and abuse potential and all powers NOT specifically enumerated for the federal government would be reserved to the individual states and to individual citizens.

In addition, moreover, the Constitution’s proponents publicly told the people some of the important subjects which fell within the states’ exclusive jurisdiction - and outside the federal government’s control in a variety of speeches, newspaper articles, letters, and pamphlets. Chief among these proponents were, of course Alexander Hamilton and James Madison. Other names of note include:

James Wilson (convention delegate and chief proponent in Pennsylvania), Edmund Pendleton (chancellor of Virginia and chairman of his state’s ratifying convention), James Iredell (North Carolina judge, pro-Constitution floor leader at his state’s ratifying convention and later U.S. Supreme Court Justice), Maryland Congressman Alexander Contee Hanson, Nathaniel Peaslee Sargeant (a Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court), Alexander White (Virginia lawyer, ratifier, and later U.S. Senator), prominent businessman Tench Coxel and John Marshall (ratifier and later U.S. Chief Justice).

Here are some of the powers they solemnly promised would be outside the federal sphere:

governance of religion
training the militia and appointing militia officers
control over local government
most crimes
state justice systems
family affairs
real property titles and conveyances
wills and inheritance
the promotion of useful arts in ways other than granting patents and copyrights
control of personal property outside of commerce
governance of the law of torts and contracts, except in suits between citizens of different states
education
services for the poor and unfortunate
licensing of taverns
roads other than post roads
ferries and bridges
regulation of fisheries, farms, and other business enterprises.

The vast majority of these areas have been encroached upon by the federal government already. For example, the national endowment for the arts and other such organization is not a federal matter; involvement in the welfare state is forbidden; as is educational involvement; interstate highways; income taxes; inheritance taxes; family affairs; the national guard as we know it; control of personal property; and a hundred other areas where the federal government has crossed the line drawn by the 10^th Amendment.

Right now our National Debt is approaching $14 TRillion; more shockingly our national obligation for Government Spending Boondoggles and Government Interference Boondoggles (GSBs and GIBs such as Social Security, Medicare and the federal side of Medicaid) has reached $109 TRillion . . . all this problem debt was created in areas where the Constitution forbid the federal government to tread. The lifeblood of the nation has been poisoned by this wanton and total ignorance and denial of the 10^th Amendment. Most Americans not only don’t understand the provisions of the 10^th Amendment, but because of the welfare state and the gross entitlement sentiment many citizens would also feel threatened by the loss of federal government involvement. The problems are exacerbated when its realized that these programs were all created as set asides and that congress never obeyed its own laws and set the money aside for these programs. Here, then lies the root cause of our present fiscal unaccountability and the potential for danger from the Obama administration’s headlong power grab . . . .

Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

Rajjpuut

What's Next?

Posted by James R Wronski on May 23, 2010 at 11:47pm

While I am excited about the prospects of enacting some real "change" in the nation as a result of the November elections I am equally concerned about the consequences of failure. Can any free man live in a nation where the elected officials don't read the legislation they vote on? Should any citizen remain loyal to an administration/government that publicly condemns and vilifies states (AZ) that enforce our laws; while it looks the other way when "Sanctuary" cities (San Francisco) aid and abet illegals, criminals, drug suppliers, etc.? Why should we continue to send money to a Dept. of Energy that hasn't produced any? Why should we send money to a Dept. of Education that doesn't educate? Why should any free man support an administration that belittles, humiliates, and/or apologizes for our nations behavior while dismissing and overlooking her accomplishments? How can we justify providing funds to a government that refuses to secure our borders and issues enumerable work visas while millions upon millions are out of work? Why should we allow our money to be sent out of our nation through foreign aid? American products and services should be provided as foreign aid not currency. Why should we allow our money to be spent for the betterment of any nation that derides us or refuses to cooperate with us? Why do we permit our taxes to be the primary financial foundation of the U.N., I.M.F., and World Bank? Why do we still defend the world? Our servicemen lie in graves all over the planet having given their lives to obtain freedom for others? Are we thanked? Are we respected? Our leaders have allowed us to be mocked and humiliated; why in the hell would any patriot support them? Our leaders think it noble to endanger us, inconvience us, and waste millions all in the name of political correctness. Our leaders are inept, apathetic, and ignorant. They no longer govern on our behalf; they govern for themselves. Their concerns are limited to: getting re-elected, building up campaign funds, acquiring wealth, and exercizing perks. No man can be truly free when his property can so easily be taken from himand then given to the undeserving all over the globe. If we don't win this year in November we will never again be able to secure freedom legislatively. I pray we win.

FINANCIAL REGULATION BILL IS SOCIALISM

Posted by Cathy O'Brien on May 23, 2010 at 4:07pm

It was obvious we desperately needed Scott Brown's 41st vote in the Senate against ObamaCare, but since that failed miserably, Brown's vote in favor of the socialist takeover of the Financial Services industry is a shot to the stomach. This bill gives overwhelming power to the government, and completely ignors a basic ingredient to the economic crisis our country faces today - Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

FINANCIAL REGULATION BILL IS SOCIALISM

Rajjpuut's Folly: American Voters Learn Too Little, Way Too Late about GIBs, GSBs

Posted by Bob VanDeHey on May 23, 2010 at 1:30pm

61% NOW Say “Government, STAY OUT!" of Housing Markets

The latest Rasmussen Reports poll says it all . . . ultimately, that infamous creature H.L. Mencken called “Boobus Americanus” gets exactly the sort of government it deserves. Clearly, the great unwashed masses called for and deserved Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and all the progressive Republicans and Democrats now poisoning our system and they got ‘em. When it comes to politics and government, ignorance is NOT bliss and for far too long the Boobus Americanus has willfully remained glued to their sitcoms and IRreality shows and ignorant of economics, politics, the Constitution and political history.

According to the latest Rasmussen poll, 61% of Americans say it is better for the economy when the government stays out of the housing market. That’s an eight-point jump since September and only 21% believe the economy is helped by the government using taxpayer money to subsidize new home buying as is currently the case through government programs begun last year. Much more importantly, 95% of Americans do NOT realize that the government has been guaranteeing mortgages to Americans who can NOT afford them for thirty-three years now – that is the government has been forcing banks and lending institutions to knowingly make bad loans since the passage of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (CRA ’77) under Jimmy Carter. The latest programs from Obama are scheduled to end over the next six months during the first fourteen months under Obama, these programs have made the housing market even worse then they were and currently foreclosures are higher than they ever have been.

Look at those statistics: 61% believe it’s best when government stays out of the housing market altogether. 21% think the government helps the housing market and 17% don’t know what effect government interference boondoggles (GIBs) like mortgage guarantees bring. Only abject ignorance can account for these statistics. In September, only 53% doubted GIBs make the housing market stronger. Americans willfully stay ignorant and then they’re shocked, absolutely shocked when things go wrong: that’s the sad history of Boobus Americanus.

A year ago President Obama announced a national mortgage assistance plan and Americans did NOT jump up in arms knowing that four different mortgage guarantee programs by the government, or more correctly by progressives in the government (those who believe we must “progress” beyond the Constitution) were the driving forces of the sub-prime lending crisis that brought us to our knees. Americans continue to show little short- or long-term confidence in the housing market, and belief that the family home is a wise investment has fallen to its lowest point ever in our history. 64% of adults say it is at least somewhat likely that government intervention in the housing market has made it possible for people to buy homes that they can’t afford. That figure includes 32% who say it is very likely (the only intelligent people in the survey?) while the most foolish 28% believe it is not very or not at all likely that the government programs encouraged people to buy “too much house.” What rock have they been living under for the last 33 years?

The New York Times in April said “the Obama administration’s $75 billion program to protect homeowners from foreclosure has been widely pronounced a disappointment, and some economists and real estate experts now contend it has done more harm than good (DO YOU THINK?). … Treasury officials appear to have concluded that growing numbers of delinquent borrowers simply lack enough income to afford their homes and must be eased out.”

The New York Times has been backing progressive causes and progressive politicians since John the Baptist first took swimming lessons and only now do they tell us that government interference in housing is a bad idea? What, pray, NYT do you think about government interference in every other non-government sphere of our lives?

Let’s first look at the sad and deplorable history of this GIB (government interference boondoggle) called ‘mortgage guaranteeing.’ Since World War II the United States’ already high rate of home ownership tends to vary from 61-65% depending upon the economy, the highest in the world. The CRA ’77 under Jimmy Carter, forced banks to make bad loans in the inner cities to potential buyers they would have rejected in a heartbeat for earnings or credit history. In ’92 Freddy Mac and Fanny Mae, the two semi-federal mortgage companies were forced under the CRA program to help guarantee such mortgages, Bush #1 was not crazy about the idea but an election was coming up and he would NOT veto.

Under Clinton, in ’95 and again in ’98 forced loan expansion continued within CRA continued. The ’98 expansion put the whole system on steroids and with the help of ACORN put us into our present debacle. ACORN with lawyers like Barack Obama (he worked for them in ’94- 96 at least) shaking down banks and other lenders forced terribly ill-advised loans to people with no rental home address; no ID; no job; horrific credit ratings; and even to tens of thousands of illegal aliens. Americans have shown no interest in this problem . . . and the mainstream media has only been too glad to keep them in ignorance about this monstrous progressive gutting of our financial stability. Let’s look at reality a bit more closely.

Since the USA had the world’s highest rate of home ownership (typically 64%) then the free market system must NOT have been broken. Congress’s “repair of the free market system was a huge attack on the landlord class. That is, an attack on the self-made man or woman . . . those most exemplifying the American Dream. Most Americans are too busy keeping up with the Joneses these days to truly understand the American Dream.

Most Americans foolishly believe that millionaires got their money from mummy and daddy and live flashy lives with mansions, glitzy cars and a jet-set lifestyle. This may be true for some Americans but it is NOT the way millionaires are made and it’s definitely untrue of most millionaires. The typical self-made millionaire family consists of two married teachers or a teacher married to someone with a profession. They are frugal and keep their debts ultra-low. They might try a bit of investing in the stock market, but most typically they buy a bit of rental property (houses, condos, townhouses and apartment buildings) and become landlords and landladies. These are the people that CRA ’77 and its expansions targeted: the very best in America. Almost surprisingly they wind up with assets of two or three million dollars . . . and what exactly is their crime? They provide low-income workers and transient workers (some of whom are not low income) with affordable housing. For this service they are vilified by the progressives who pass laws to make their financial existence perilous.

Back to Rasmussen’s polling: 67% of Americans believe if someone cannot afford to make increased mortgage payments, it is better for them to sell their home and find a less expensive one, a 10-point increase from December 2007. Just 23% now say it’s better for the government to assist them in making their payments. In December 2007, 54% placed the blame for the mortgage crisis on “individuals who borrowed more than they could afford” -- while this is true, in their ignorance Americans put no blame on ACORN; no blame on progressive politicians who passed four ever-increasing GIBs; no blame on shake-down artist lawyers like Barack Obama; no blame for the mainstream media that conveniently never chose to cover this story; and, most importantly of course, no blame for themselves for NOT staying informed and for NOT voting against progressive policies and politicians while always looking eagerly for the next free lunch (GIB or GSB**) from them. In other words Americans either still remain ignorant of the truth or they are willfully denying our reality and their role in creating it.

And one last bit of statistics from the Rasmussen Reports story: Four percent (4%) say they or someone in their family received government help in the past year to buy a home or meet mortgage payments. Ninety-three percent (93%) say they did not. Six percent (6%) of Democrats and five percent (5%) of voters not affiliated with either major party say they or someone in their family benefited from government housing help in the past year, compared to one percent (1%) of Republicans (you know them, the self-made millionaires). Rajjpuut would add that the single best way to help the poor is to ensure that you never become one of them and end up competing for their resources. The second best way to help the poor is to step out of the free market’s way (by cutting taxes Ronald Reagan created 21 million jobs in his eight years in office). The third best way is to cut government spending.

Here's something else most Americans don't know . . . . Our progressive president Woodrow Wilson left us with a depression as great as the one inherited by the much-ballyhood progressive Democrat FDR who inherited a mess from Progressive Republican president Herbert Hoover . . . but no one ever heard of that depression. Why?

President Warren G. Harding and his Vice-President Calvin Coolidge (after Harding died in office) cut BOTH taxes and spending by roughly 50% and the problem cleared up by mid 1922. within 19 months of them taking office. In contrast, Roosevelt who ran under pledges to act like Harding and Coolidge and cut both taxes and government spending acted instead like Barack Obama and proved himself a liar when he made those pledges, thus extending the Depression to almost a dozen years until the war bailed him out. Not to mention FDR’s stealing American’s gold by forced confiscation at $20.76 an ounce and than inflating the American currency to $35 an ounce . . . an almost 70% overnight inflation. Europe and the rest of the world had a Depression, American suffered a “Great Depression” thanks to Roosevelt’s GIBs and GSBs. Think about this Roosevelt created 40 brand new federal agencies with 40 new laws. BHO with his Obamacare – one law – created almost 390 new agencies. Enjoy your free lunch, Americans!

Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

Rajjpuut's Folly: TEA Party Taking Wrong Fork in the Road?

Posted by Bob VanDeHey on May 22, 2010 at 8:30pm

Tea Party Loses Way, Forgets King-making

Embraces Third-Party Status??

It’s beginning to look like many in the TEA Party have decided that acting in “its” perceived best interest and not in the nation’s best interest is the way to go . . . ho hum, ho hum just another political party that doesn’t understand the difference between winning and vainglory. Truly a sad state of affairs given the TEA (Taxed enough already) Party’s tremendous initial integrity and promise. Rajjpuut believes that thanks to the inclusion of the TEA Party in the affairs of the nation this November, the chances of the Democrats to maintain, or even advance their majorities in the House and Senate have dramatically increased. That is, the once great hope for America, for winning back the country, is proving to be just another short-sighted third party effort.

TEA Party candidates running in primaries, trying to get elected? Sounds like an enormous waste of time and money. Sounds like a sure way to become part of the corrupt system rather than to actually reform it. Rajjpuut would point all TEA Party folks toward the thoughtful example of Puerto Rico and Puerto Rican statehood . . . no, no, we're NOT talking about Obama . . . .

The ultra-cynical Barack Obama would like to make Puerto Rico into the 51^st State. If he succeeds, he will actually have created real jobs for flagmakers, wow, the very first success of his misguided regime. Mr. Obama, however, is clearly NOT thinking about jobs for flagmakers or for anyone else. He has embarked on a desperate gamble. He needs to add about fifteen million Hispanics to the voting rolls, keep them in a riled up “revolutionary fever-pitch” and use their votes (expecting to win a split of about 80-20 or 85-15 for the Democrats at the ballot boxes) to dominate the elections of 2012 and 2014 and enshrine the progressive-wing of the Democratic Party as the permanent holder of the White House and both chambers of Congress. If you thought he’d brought us hell on earth in 2009 and 2010 . . . consider the specter of “President-for-life” Barack Obama – doesn’t that just thrill you?

Mr. Obama, passing his desired Immigration “Reform” bill into law and once he becomes “el dictador” (the dictator) here could than impose statehood on Puerto Rico from outside if he chooses to, but that’s the only way Puerto Rico would be dragged into the USA. You see, Mr. Obama doesn’t understand PR politics and the model of PR politics is also the model the TEA Party leadership does NOT understand either. The survival of the TEA Party and the utter defeat of the Obama regime depends upon the TEA Party wising up . . . QUICKLY and adopting the PR model. Let Ol’ Rajjpuut make this perfectly clear in case you're not aware of what goes in Puerto Rico . . . .

The single-most burning issue in PR politics for the last sixty years has been American Statehood. Like Hamlet’s vacillation, it’s a major question of “To be or not to be . . . .” In 1952, the Puerto Rican people made a huge deal of demanding (and getting) PR recognized legally with commonwealth status (in Spanish “un estado libre associado” or 'a free but associated state'). Puerto Rico is by law thus a free territory associated with the United States. This single issue has so dominated political thinking for the last six decades that three separate political parties arguing this issue more than any other, have risen up to dominate PR politics. These three sides have been arguing this issue and controlling the country until recently when another seemingly-intelligent fourth side has emerged. We’ll ignore the arising fourth party, its influence is not yet clear, except to say they have chosen perhaps the wisest ground of all, they refuse to get involved in statehood at all which could prove to be a very popular stand and devote themselves to more mundane matters in island life . . . oh, by the way, to be fully accurate there are nineteen political parties in PR but up till now on the most important question of all and on other very important questions only three of these parties have mattered. Understanding that the situation is very fluid in PR and that influence from one party flows easily to other parties within their nineteen parties, here’s what’s going on:

A. The right-wing organization los “Estadistas” believes that the future of Puerto Rico should be aligned with the United State, better yet within the United States. They say that everything good now going on will be amplified a hundredfold and all miseries would be reduced tenfold if PR becomes the 51^st state. Their strength from year to year varies from 30-37% with 33-34% of the people agreeing with them on statehood at a given vote. They're somewhat like our Republican Party.

B. There is a left-wing organzation los “Independentistas” that wants Puerto Rico to become a free nation. The most progressive among them actually hate the United States and paint the United States as an empire that dominates and exploits them. Think of them as our revolutionary-progressive Democrats here seeking to fundamentally transform their island. Depending upon economic conditions, their popularity oscillates between 32-38% with 35% of voters typically voting with them on the statehood issue.

C. The third major party when it comes to the big question of statehood is actually not so much a third party but a third way of thinking. They are officially the Commonwealth Party. Every time the issue of statehood comes up for a ballot (Puerto Ricans love voting on this issue far more than any other) their utterly INexpensive and utterly effective campaigning features a lot of volunteers parading around with a few signs emphasizing the beauty of “el estatus quo” or keeping things just the way they are. The Commonwealth Party membership varies from 27-34% with 30% being typical support on the issue of Statehood. While they are not always effective on other issues, the Commonwealth Party always wins the statehood vote because they stake out and dominate the middle ground and the other two positions are mutually exclusive. The common wealth party also does tend to enjoy a far greater domination in issues other than statehood despite their low numbers as they almost universally stake out the middle ground and later when a coalition government is formed, the commonwealth party is one of the few almost always invited to the table by the other parties. In so far as any nation with 19 parties can be dominated by one political party the Commonwealth Party dominates Puerto Rican politics . . . most importantly they exercise this domination by only winning on one issue: statehood.

Rajjpuut would suggest to TEA Party leadership that WINNING (and thus saving our nation) is far more important than just looking good. What does that mean?

For one possible example of the probable wrong course, Rand Paul, a nominal libertarian^^ just won a state primary over a heavily backed Republican candidate. Rand might win in November, but then again he might not. He’s not a Republican and will not have the fund-raising of the Republicans behind him -- NOR SHOULD HE, they've got their own troubles and their own candidates. Those in the know say it’s 50-50 Paul wins in November; Rajjpuut says its fairly unlikely he’ll win . . . votes follow money, unfortunately. While Rajjpuut would clearly prefer Rand Paul over 94% of Democrats and over 100% of progressive Republicans and/or progressive Democrats . . . politics is a profession built upon hard work and practicality which means "MONEY." And that is the dilemma of all third parties in America and all grass-roots movements everywhere: Piling up money and doing the hard work while never being tempted to make shortcuts to get that all-too-crucial monetary backing is essential but -- just as cleanliness is next to Godliness in politics, it's also next to impossible.

Why is the TEA Party even considering nominating candidates? Our early successes have gone to our heads. And the early successes have impressed Republicans and shocked and angered a few Democrats. The TEA Party integrity has also been a refreshing new addition to the American political scene – in fact, Rajjpuut would say the TEA Party integrity and winning . . . highlight the most favorable path ahead: like the Commonwealth Party in Puerto Rico let's be real conservatives on fiscal matters and the Constitution and possibly a few more associated matters (such as the TEA Party “Contract FROM America” perhaps the single-greatest political document since the Magana Carta and TEA Party leadership is letting it languish on the sidelines instead of relentlessly educating Americans (“This, this ‘Contract FROM America’ is what we are all about.”) Let’s say the TEA Party’s effectiveness in winning is right about 67-68%. That’s amazing for not having any money. But this figure needs to be tempted by reality and practicality: Scott Brown, of Massachusetts, for example, has done some minor good but sided with Obama on three critical issues so where does that leave us when Brown comes up for a vote? Rajjpuut suggests, it leaves us right where we should be . . . holding Brown's feet to the fire while comparing him to other candidates.

Imagine this lovely scenario: by staying a low-budget, deeply patriotic non-violent group who’s integrity comes to be admired by even the mainstream media (that's not appearing likely yet, eh?) that concentrates on conservative fiscal and constitutional matters (such as repealing Obamacare as a violation of the Constitution, especially the 10^th Amendment; and amending the Constitution so that all bills must delineate why and where they are justified within the Constitution) say we set as a goal: expanding our power and influence so that the TEA Party supported candidates and issues win 75% . . . the TEA Party becomes the nation’s kingmakers here in America just as the Commonwealth Party dominates in Puerto Rico. That’s an easily achievable and far more noble goal than becoming** another political party.

Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,

Rajjpuut

^^ Rajjpuut is a Libertarian and Rand Paul truly does NOT FULLY understand the political thinking of libertarianism as seen by his comments on the civil rights law -- where he argued about angels on the heads of pins rather than just being "Libertarian practical" and saying (to himself) "it's the law of the land and I agree with 99% of it, so I'll keep my mouth shut." For all practical purposes the Civil Rights Law of '64 is as perfect as its ever going to be, shut up and move on to Fiscal Conservativism and Constitutional Conservativism as the only subjects you talk to reporters about. See Rajjpuut's critique of this issue here:

http://teapartypatriots.org/BlogPostView.aspx?id=6d256f4c-6826-442c-8f9c-4a694d49100b

similarly when abortion is brought up: "It's the law of the land" move on to talka about Fiscal Conservativism and Constitutional Conservativism, AMEN!

**This could change for the TEA Party in say, six or eight years as they gain America's esteem . . . and it might become desirable to become a vote-seeking party. But ask yourself this, if winning and advancing the two major conservative issues is all that matters (Rajjpuut says it is NOW and for the foreseeable future) than how much more effective can a political party be than 75%??? Not to mention that political parties and politicians tend to get corrupted. It’s more difficult at first, but after awhile they all lose their integrity. Isn’t it better to be the one holding feet to the fire, than being the one whose “vision slips”???? Better to strategically control the fray while staying apart from it and maintaining one's objectivity and integrity, NO?

Obama's "Transformation" Questioned

Posted by Joseph Whitworth Smith on May 22, 2010 at 10:55am

Obama promised, once he took office, to transform America. He didn’t mention how. It has come to my attention that many Americans don’t see anything wrong with socialism. Your problem is that you have failed to sort out your good intentions. It is my task, at this time, to set you straight.

As defined in my dictionary, collectivism, the socialist principle, control by the people collectively, or by the state, you must understand—control by the people—giving the individual equal opportunity, giving the individual the freedom to use his resources to his own best advantage, collectively—in fact, constitutionally—you understand, we’ve found in America that society is more productive, of course leaving out the state, because the state collects the fruits of society’s labor and redistributes it for its own best advantage. The distinction is that state controlled collectivism, or progressivism, ultimately like cattle, government driven into a chute and slaughtered if you dare to disobey your masters, or at the very least lose your freedom, we bear witness to that many, many times in numerous places.

Only 25 percent of the American people approve of Congress. Want to know why? Knowing Members of Congress for the self-serving frauds they’ve become, not one statesman left, we, the people, naturally vote for the representative we feel will get our district the most from government. Under the circumstances, what else can we do? Actually, what we get is a government protection racket, an Obama,his czars, Pelosi-Reid mafia. Only such dirt-bags as these would pull such a stunt as they are pulling. One finds it hard to make the connection with that bunch and human beings. The gall of those skunks talking about taking from the rich and giving to the poor! With millions sucking hind tit, bringing about great division in America, this is exactly what the statist team of criminals now in power wants. I never would have thought it possible in America.

With Obama law, part natural; that is, the individual doing the best he can for himself, and part political, the group doing the best it can for itself, a monster is born. Mr. Roosevelt brought you people who don’t see anything wrong with socialism a state duty, actually an unconstitutional duty to the individual Mr. Roosevelt called it the “New Deal.” Mr. Roosevelt considered it his duty to create a welfare state, a state duty bound to take care of you people with so little? Wasn’t that nice of him? No, I don’t think so.

It didn’t work, folks. Understand that necessity is the mother of invention. All we need is equal opportunity. We come equipped to do the rest. Equal opportunity is what made America the greatest nation on earth. We don’t have equal opportunity when government takes half of our sweat and redistributes it. When government has a duty to keep you, necessity—that need to find a way to exist—doesn’t exist. Mr. Roosevelt caused the Great Depression to remain in place years and years. And now Mr. Obama is doing the same. We’ve got government bailouts, unsustainable debt creation, and the unemployment figure higher now that when Obama took office. Once again, it is Mr. Roosevelt’s flawed answers.

Thanks to Mr. Roosevelt, your tax dollars are now providing me—not you—with a living. And thanks to Mr. Roosevelt’s flawed answers, Mr. Obama is building his depression, too. And keep this in mind: I’ve been retired since I was 65. I’m now 84 and still going strong. I’ll probably live to a 100. When Social Security became law the average age was 64, and the birth rate was very low. Naturally the cost of the government entitled is skyrocketing. And too, with Government growing by leaps and bounds, as is government pay and government pensions, the cost of government far exceeds the taxpayers ability to pay. Clearly a monster is devouring America’s free enterprise system, exactly what the Obama mafia is shooting for. The carefully planned deception: we, the people, totally dependent on Obama. And what about the government entitled? Well, we try not to think about that. Let me remind you that in state regulated socialist nations it is not a pretty picture.

But what about the prosperous, those who have so much, those greedy, grasping people who leave you with so little, namely, the uncaring, immoral rich? Greed and immoral behavior is not confined to the rich. You are being deceived by the frauds in power. By eliminating those so-called greedy, grasping peoples’ control, through spreading of the wealth, it means that you, the not so prosperous, do not have more, you have less. Think about it. Where does the money come from that is redistributed? The more the resourceful the more the money, as money merely represents human energy. As there is no limit on human energy, or human awareness, there is no limit on the amount of money. It has never yet happened that the not so rich have received more in the long run by taking from the rich. It’s a short-sighted Marxist answer politicians have implanted in the poor. Instead of encouraging people to depend on others, the current political game in Washington, by encouraging the resourceful, we all have more. Encouraging dependence on the state causes everyone to have less and the state to have more power and control. That’s what politicians want. State collectivism, don’t you see, kills the goose that laid the golden egg, and leaves your freedom gone with the wind.

So what is the answer? Mr. Roosevelt said you only have fear itself to fear. A big change is in the wind. A better idea than state controlled collectivism is collectivism controlled by the people: the individual, not coerced by unaffordable government mandates, but collectively working to bring the good life to everyone. The Tea Party promotes the “Higher Law,” the background of American constitutional law. I ask you to carefully consider what I’ve brought to your attention, that by listening to Washington’s answer it is at your own peril. I invite you to join the Tea Party, collective control of the people, by the people. Lend a hand in helping bring peace and prosperity to everyone. Help the world, rather than through the Obama crime family, to beat a path to America’s door our Tea Party way, the American way, Providence’s way.

The end result is that an elected official is expected to follow theparty line, regardless of use for the constituency, or else “bad” thingswill happen. I don’t know about you, but I like to look at candidateswho roughly follow my way of thinking but also having the knowledge thathe or she will put the needs and desires of his or her district beforeanything else. That’s all. It’s so simple that it’s a little tooprofound to be followed by modern politicians.

A CALL TO PRAYER

A call to prayer

By Neil BrianGoldberg

It is another day in the Big Apple. Traffic is moderate to heavy — anormal weekday. Taxis are scurrying to drop off and pick up new fares.Buses are lumbering through the crowded streets making their usualstops.

Central Park is sporting its newest colors of the season, and it isstill fair weather. The ducks are swimming in the big pond, the nanniesand kids are enjoying the grass, the joggers are running by, and theold bag lady is feeding the pigeons.

The subways are rumbling, the drunks are stumbling, the guys with thesqueegees and water cans are making out well wherever the red lightallows, as they squirt and wash the windshields hoping for a few coins.The horse-drawn carriages, the museums, the million different stylesand fashions, sounds, smells, and musicians begging on the streets withtheir music — some of it is great.

What a city is New York, the greatest city in the world — nowhere likeit. And somehow, with all of the changing faces, races, skyscapes, andplaces, it still remains basically the same.

. . . until the appointed hour, when a completely new sound fills theair — loud and piercing — no, not of many sirens. They, too, are anormal part of the greatest city.

No, this is something different. This is something which does not justirritate the ears as a loud siren or squealing of brakes. This is anassault — an insult — something which not only pierces the ears, but theheart and the inner spirit of freedom and national identity itself.

It is the call to prayer, wafting over the gaping reminder of America'sgreat and tragic loss of the Battle of 9/11 — reminding us that, forsome reason, this festering wound, this source of pain and shame andfrustration, still remains before us, untended in our minds and ourhearts.

. . . and now, the same government which failed to take heed of the manywarnings which could have stopped the attacks; the government thatrefuses to rebuild as a showing of great fortitude and non-acceptance ofdefeat — this same invisible hand has now made arrangements for thisterrifying sound — this loud, piercing, heart-rending, and INFURIATINGsound — to blare, to scream, to so loudly proclaim far and wide:

"WE HAVE BEATEN YOU, AMERICA. WE NOW RUB YOUR NOSE IN OUR GREATVICTORY, AMERICA."

RIGHT HERE, AMERICA, AT THE PLACE WHERE WE HAVE DEFEATED YOU, WE NOWASSERT OUR DOMINANCE. WE KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE IT. WE KNOW IT MAKES YOUANGRY AND FRUSTRATED, BUT WE ARE ISLAM, AND WE ARE HERE — RIGHT AT THEPOINT OF ATTACK, RIGHT AT THE PLACE WHERE ISLAM WAS VICTORIOUS, ANDWHERE AMERICA WAS DEFEATED. COME TO PRAYER. PRAISE TO ALLAH, six timesper day, seven days per week, fifty-two weeks per year."

". . . and now, six times a day, we will assert our rights, according toyour own Constitution — here on the site of 9/11! — to freely practiceour religion, to freely speak our minds, and to freely protest and takepart in all of your liberties, until the day when we finally succeed inseducing your nation, as we have so many others to the tipping pointwhen we will have succeeded little by little to institute our own ShariaLaw — which then, of course, will have not a speck of tolerance for anyof these freedoms that we have used to capture and enslave you."

I don't think so, Mohammed.

With no disrespect for the Muslim people now in America, and for thosewho see no reason why anyone should be against the building of a newmosque, still the basic unarguable question remains, why at Ground Zero .. . and why at this time?

My completely rational and absolutely accurate assertion remains — that amosque at Ground Zero is an act of psychological warfare, andintentionally so.

Am I complaining about mosques in other areas? No. (Though some may beseditious and should be watched.) Am I accusing all Muslims of beingenemies? No. (Though some trained marauders are here to do harm andshould be watched.)

Let's peek just a little into the future. A huge and glorious mosque isto be built at Ground Zero, and . . . as is the custom, what is it?Six times a day? The amplified "Call to Prayer" is sent out in everydirection, loud and clear. It will be a simple, usual prayer of callingthe faithful, but the true translation and message would be:

"The Grand Mosque of Islam is here, and your great skyscrapers are gone.Praise to Allah. Victory to Islam!"

. . . and, let's look even a bit further into the possible future, whenan impostor, a Trojan Horse man, posing as a legitimate president andloyal American, describes in this grand mosque his conversion to Islam,with the huge speakers outside delivering the message. "America hasfallen to Islam (not in so many words of course) and Sharia Law iscoming."

Building such a mosque, exactly at Ground Zero, at this time remains inmy mind a purposeful act of not only psychological warfare, but ofspiritual and metaphysical warfare as well. And again I say, with noreservations whatsoever, intentionally so! . . . the forerunnerof a much larger danger, signifying the beginning of the end of all thatAmerica is meant to be.

This proposal, this unfolding plan, and every move involved in bringingit about is, in my mind, a planned and purposeful act of subtle, yetpotent war on the freedom of the American people — beginning with thetaking away of our freedom to feel peace and safety in our own greatestcity, the freedom not to be psychologically hounded and terrorized byenemies whom we know we can defeat, but who have already defeated theweaklings inside our own government.

Some very intelligent people will disagree. Many will be young people,full of passion for their beliefs — so very sure of their astuteconclusions based on their mental prowess and precise logic, believingthey are sincere and only standing for reason and justice, but what suchyouth does not yet have is considerable life experience, the experiencethat only time and struggle can bestow.

One must not bow to ideas and demands for justice, freedom, and equalityput forward by those who declare themselves our enemies — those whonever allow any of these blessings of liberty, once they have used themto seduce and then enslave sincere, good-hearted people like those ofAmerica.

Some call these Jihadists (by their own definition) "Freedom Fighters,"but there is no freedom anywhere where they have worked their way in andnow rule.

I remain and will remain absolutely opposed to this giant mosque — andall that will come with it — ever being built over the gaping atrocityof the 9/11 crater.

. . . and now back to the title of this article —

A CALL TO PRAYER — for America:

Almighty, wonderful God, we come to you now in our hour of need. Wethank you, Lord, for the wonderful country you gave us. We thank youfor the freedoms, the abundance, and the security we have enjoyed for solong under your kind grace.

And we apologize, Heavenly Father, for our neglect, and for the manysins done in your sight. We are sorry that we have gone so far astrayfrom your ways, and now we see the fruits of our disrespect: ourgluttony, our addictions, our neglect of our responsibilities to family,to friends, and to our precious freedoms.

Now we find ourselves reaping the harvest of loss, confusion, turmoil,and even poverty, which we ourselves have sown by our own actions andour own neglect. Even those of us who knew better have lost our angryvoice of moral outrage — allowing all of these destructive things tooccur, and caring more about our own well-being and security than thetruth, and the unavoidable consequences it demands — even aside fromreligious convictions, we should have known better on the simple levelof cause and effect, the immutable laws of nature, which you yourself,Lord, have set in motion since the beginning of the world.

. . . but we also know that only you, dear Holy One, are beyond theselaws of nature, and that your mighty power, and your perfect love, areeternal and ever new.

We The People of these United States do now come to you, mighty andwonderful Lord, on our knees and in great humility — begging you for ourcountry back. Begging you, oh Heavenly Father, to forgive, and torestore your America back to its destined place in the world: as thebeacon of freedom, goodness, justice, abundance, and awesome power — allfor your purposes only.

We call out to you, Lord, to keep your promise to hear this call fromyour abode in the heavens, and that you will take pity on your lostchildren here in America and "Heal our land." Drive out the corruptionin these coming elections, break the spine of the atrocious evils nowtaking root in our land.

Destroy and root out child pornography, and all other pornography, humanslavery, the murders of untold numbers of your divine little ones, andprevent and break the power of those purposely fomenting racial strifeand hatred — pitting your children one against the other, here in theland of the free. Help us to change as a people, and to increasinglyremember you.

We thank you and praise you in advance, our precious and awesome God,who still loves America, and waits only for us to return to you.

How great thou art — our King, our Savior — our mighty God. Amen.

GOP ON TRACK TO SNATCH DEFEAT FROM JAWS OF VICTORY

Posted by Cathy O'Brien on May 21, 2010 at 7:25pm

The recent primaries have unleashed a miriad of emotions, which must be paralleled to a sign of our time. Never in our short history has there been such turmoil, and that is not to diminish the very difficult times America has fought herself through.

You have to admit that what we witnessed this past week is a first, and has infuriated the majority of American citizens. It's almost as though this was planned by a cunning and crafty president.

Rajjpuut's Folly: Media's Slobbering Love Affair Falls Short of Obama's "Needs"

Posted by Bob VanDeHey on May 21, 2010 at 11:59am

Obama's Media Free-Ride Shows No Sign of Abating

After receiving three of the most fawining years of media coverage in candidate, nominee and presidential history, Barack Obama is so-dissatisfied with his treatment at the hands of the press that he now has several initiatives in the works to dramatically curtail freedom of the press. It seems our president’s narcissism is so great that every time even the faintest negative coverage appears he is totally shell-shocked.

Item #1 Fox Cable News Channel has been the subject of constant Obama administration disdain and complaint since Day 1 of his presidency. Obama was notably silent when Fox and other media attacked G. W. Bush for his spending policies and other perceived weaknesses. Negative news is just not ever considered fair.

Item #2 the president is setting records for dodging the press, Fox News as well as all his toadies at ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, PBS, and CNN have all complained as Obama has now stretched his record for going without a press conference for well over nine straigt months now.

Item #3 each of the last ten or eleven Obama attempts at press control during demagoguery and demonization exercises (for example toward the TEA Party, Arizona’s new immigration laws, withering attacks on Wall Street, British Petroleum etc., etc.) has witnessed the mainstream press immediately adopt the preferred Obama hate-term verbiage (exactly as presented by Robert Gibbs and others) in discussions over the next ten days or so without bothering to actually investigate the stories behind the Obama vilifications.

Item #4 Stories that reflect anti-Obama realities are just not covered. For example,

A. the climate-gate scandal in East Anglia University where worldwide temperature data was fudged, manipulated and ditched to more properly reflect a “global warming” that is NOT in fact occurring . . . has not materialized now five months after the thousands of CRU e-mails were leaked.

B. Coverage of the Obama/Gore et. al CCX scandal is non-existent in the mainstream media. Since the conflict of interest story would cost Americans 40% of their economy to legislated carbon exchanging that would benefit the Obama-Gore-Sandor-Rogers founded and funded CCX (Chicago Climate eXcange) partnerships by TRillions of dollars . . . and since this story is no longer possible in Europe where the whole continent is now utterly skeptical about global warming but global warming is still giving credence in America thanks to the mainstream media’s deliberate refusal to cover the Climate-gate story . . . the media has now become the story.

C. Likewise the media’s refusal to cover the CCX crews’ strange gyrations to save the bankrupt Shore Bank of Chicago is incredibly self-serving to Obama.

D. The media has not mentioned Obama’s failure to respond to incredible flood destruction in Tennessee and tornado disasters repeating in Oklahoma and nearby areas. Comparison to the comparable Hurricane Katrina treatment of the G.W. Bush efforts are shocking.

E. The media nine days after the fact began echoing the Obama liturgy released that day that the administration had been “on the job since day one” regarding the BP gulf oil spill.

F. None of the mainstream media have covered the fact that federal safety inspectors have deliberately given British Petroleum “passes” on 1990 and 1994 safety standards for offshore drilling.

G. None of the mainstream media have covered the fact that federal safety standards required ten individual fire booms (aimed at preventing exactly the sort of fire, explosion and leak that BP experienced) be on hand at each drilling site and that BP had ZERO fire booms available.

H. None of the mainstrem media has focused on the fact that BP has another site 55% deeper pumping out 450% more oil with the very same lax safety ambience which the federal government has NOT insisted upon improving.

I. None of the mainstream media has seemingly read the Arizona Immigration law, but instead give positive coverage to protestors of a law that is far more “immigrant-friendly” than the federal laws they’re based upon and which go to immense lengths to prevent racial profiling. Instead the mainstream media again have spent three weeks mirroring the Obama party line on Arizona’s laws.

J. None of the mainstream media is actually calling for the president to see to it that the federal Immigration people start doing their jobs in Arizona.

K. None of the mainstream media think it’s significant that five key officials in the Obama administration have been lambasting Arizona and yet, admitted they have NOT read the bill. Specifically Holder and Napolitano’s ignorance and vilification amounts to criminal behavior.

L. None of the mainstream media is willing to take Obama to task for its administration’s unwillingness to use the simple and accurate term “radical Muslim jihadists.” Nor have they taken the administration to task for its policy of homeland security by luck.

M. Nevertheless, Barack Obama is directly setting out to control the internet.

N. Nevertheless, Barack Obama is setting into motion laws that would make the “tone” of criticism of politicians a crucial matter placed under control of the government.

O. Barack Obama has already three times illegally employed the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) to back his political agenda and, of course, received a pass from the mainstream media.

P. The media refuses to notice that Barack’s promised openness, honesty, transparency, and cleaning up of Washington’s political games has not only NOT materialized, it has NOT even been attempted.

Q. Barack Obama is still on honeymoon with the mainstream media and still allowed to say, “it’s all the Bush Administration’s fault." Even though Obama has now quadrupled the deficits and tripled the national debt.

R. The mainstream media has shown no urgency to explore the character of the Obama administration itself and the laws it passes and the abuses it drops upon the Constitution. The word “socialism” is certainly taboo.

S. The mainstream media has allowed Obama to play the race card for three consecutive years now. 48% of Whites supported Obama which is more votes and a higher percentage of white votes than Kerry or Gore received. Only 4% of Blacks voted for Mc Cain. Allowing Obama to use the racism ploy is a hideous distortion of the truth.

T. Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s recent anti-semitic rants as well as his original “God Damn, America” comment received only a wrist-slap from the mainstream media and Obama’s twenty-year connection to Wright has been totally unexplored.

U. The media has refused to cover Obama’s connections and support of communist Raila Odinga’s presidential campaign in Kenya. Willfully overlooking that Odinga signed a pact with the 10% Muslim populace to make shariah law the law of the land a la the Taliban, if elected. Nor have they covered Obama’s speeches to the Muslims while wearing muslim garb. Nor the riots arsons, killings etc. against Christian and other religions conducted by Kenya’s Muslims which got Odinga made part of the cabinet of the man who defeated him.

V. The media refuses to read “Dreams from My Father” Obama’s first autobiography and to explore the communism of Barak (no “c”), Sr. specifically calling for Kenya to consider 100% taxes upon the rich; nationalization of foreign businesses and redistribution of wealth from non-Black Kenyans to the black populace.

W. The media has not explored Obama’s statement that “I have always been a Christian, never attended Muslim schools and never practiced Islam.” The statue of 10-year old Barack in the Muslim school he attended for parts of three years (1969, ‘70 and ’71) and his four plus years in Indonesia is willflly overlooked by the mainstream media. The more the man lies, the more they love him.

X. In short, the mainstream media has abandoned its job and become merely a cheerleading arm for Obama’s administration and the great man himself.

Why the Tea Party?

Posted by Joseph Whitworth Smith on May 21, 2010 at 7:39am

A participant on this blog, who calls himself an independent, writes that he agrees with me but not with my reasoning.

Let me make myself clear. I joined the Tea Party, not to gain back what has been taken from me, but because of what Godfather Obama and his organized band of criminals is trying to take from me.

Right away, Tea Party winner Rand Paul has turned defensive. He’s accused of being against civil rights legislation. And President Obama, in the same vein of thought, has invited Mexico’s president to trash Arizona’s new law to slow the influx of undocumented Mexicans. Mexico’s president was invited to address Congress. He again trashed Arizona’s law. Administration officials and the Democrats gave him a standing ovation. It is in the interest of Mexico to send their citizens to the United States for jobs. Their illegals are sending back to Mexico over a billion dollars a year. It is in the interest of America’s Godfather and his one-world establishment to spread the wealth, and their power and control.

Many Americans don’t see anything wrong with socialism. America’s Godfather is clearly a one-world socialist. Many don’t agree with my reasoning. Let me ask those who disagree, is it immoral to be prosperous? Ask the world that question and you would get a resounding yes. Misery loves company.

In the interest of fairness, should the individual be reduced to a powerless state? Clearly, the Godfather of America dislikes our liberty. Should the American people give up our liberty for the sake of the world’s poor? Would the world’s poor be benefitted? Take a look at history. Hardly. Pray tell me, where is my reasoning wrong? Why should America’s wealth be shared, by law, with the rest of the world?

An interesting thing happened. Glenn Beck told his audience that Congressman Wiener, a New York Democrat, on his Internet site, Wienerfacts, declared that Goldline and Beck were scammers. Beck explained that he bought gold as an inflation hedge. Apparently, that offends Democrats. Beck reminded us that Glodfather Roosevelt banned ownership of gold, and passed a law that put gold owners in prison for ten years. We don’t know today what happened to all that gold Godfather Roosevelt confiscated.

At any rate, at risk of having Godfather Obama pass a law to take all privately held gold, after listening to Beck I decided to contact Goldline and buy some gold. I wrote in Google search, “Goldline.” Under Goldline appeared the words “Goldline scam.” I went to Goldline scam. A page on Goldline scam appeared on my screen. I clicked on one of the entrees. Immediately, Norton anti-virus appeared with a notice that my computer had been attacked by a virus. I was automatically taken off the Internet. I could not get back on. The next day, Beck commented that Google was inundated with Goldline requests.

The next morning I tried again. Norton anti-virus appeared with a notice that my computer had been attacked by three Trojan Horses. I could not get on the Internet. My network connection had been changed to an unknown network. I could not change it back to my network. I’m now on the main computer in my network, which is connected directly with my Internet provider.

Thank you, Congressman Wiener, for not breaking my knees with a baseball bat. Anything is fair in love and war. Wiener is a member of the Obama mafia. After calling Beck a scammer, he went to see America’s Godfather , according to Beck. Our Godfather refuses to say we are at war with Islamic terrorists. Like I say, it’s not what I want to take back that made me join the Tea Party. It’s what America’s one-world socialist Godfather wants to take from me that made me join.

In my view , no foreign enemy could defeat America. The enemy within America is about to take our liberty from us and make us one-world slaves. Those who disagree with me better wake up.

Prologue

The Twilight zone opening that we all hope never happens!
John Kaddlehopper and his wife Kitty are 100 miles away from the closest desert town Micaville, Nevada. They are in a federal internment camp that is nick named "poverty central". It is a horrible place for the nation that hides it’s poor. Twenty thousand plus live in buildings without windows. The train that delivers new residents has no windows. Bats fly through the open bay buildings that are like barracks; through the cracks scorpions and tarantulas creep in from the desert, and are found on resident’s walls. It is like the bats, scorpions and tarantulas are the sins of the American government against it’s people. There is only a curtain between residents of "poverty central", and you can hear a pin drop and hear it at the other end of the, open bay, buildings. John and Kitty have to do responsibility therapy, that is slave labor for which that they only make $1.25 a hour. When they get paid for working 80 hours it’s not a happy moment; it is a attack on their self esteem. There is no recreation in this internment camp. All John and Kitty have is each other this proves to be a time their love for each other; their marriage prevails and they survive because of it. This is just the tip of the iceberg for not paying their government mandated health insurance. The events that put them in this horrible place is a American federal government under socialism that is gone too far and running everyone’s life. The crumbling American families has caused reliance on the federal government to pick up the pieces where the traditional structured family values are getting a thing of the past. John and Kitty’s children have been put by court order in a foster home. The Federal Government by legislation has split up a perfectly good family. Senator Jackson in Washington gets wind from John Kaddlehopper writing him and vows to repeal or roll back the taxes, health insurance law, that put them in the internment camp. The national press is proactive toward John and Kitty and in result national demonstrations are seen in Washington that are the biggest ever seen before.
While this is happening Senator Jackson is putting on a most historic filibuster to free John and Kitty. The protests are so loud you can hear them when the Senate doors are open.

Blue Water Veterans Sunk By Federal Appeals Court

Blue Water Veterans sunk by Federal Appeals Court. Did Congress make it easier or tougher for Blue Water Vets to establish service connection for an Agent Orange-related disease? How many judges on this court served in the military? Like they care about the people who did! Now here is a TEA PARTY cause...

I was just interrogated at the post office for cashing in on a Money Order

Posted by Stanley Bolten on May 20, 2010 at 8:33pm

InterrogatedByPostalStaff

Update: When the questions the Postal Interrogator asked were answered, the answers were that I run a non profit website and haveadvertisements on it, I never really known the full name of the personthat sent me the money order and just that Igot it from somebody whoworked at The Global Information Network (GIN). I had to tell thepostal worker....aka interrogator that the money order was from mebeing he asked me more personal level and intrusive questions.

After hearing about this interrogation it gives a whole new definition to the song "I Always feel like somebodies watching me"where it says at one point "I feel like the mail mans watching me!".

Today I was just interrogated like I was some sort of terrorist or money launderer at the Post Office by a Postal Employee over a $75money order sent to me for my non profit political site USWGO. Itwasn't even a thousand, not even a hundred dollars but simply just $75and I was interrogated like a criminal over that little amount of moneywhile you can cash a $100 check at a bank and all they ever requiredwas proof of identification and that was technically it.

The intrusive personal questions he asked me right after he required ID was "Who sent you the money order?" and "What was it sent for?". Healso stared at me and gave me the suspicion eye that police wouldusually give to suspected terrorists and criminals. Once he startedasking several amount of questions I started feeling weird like I amsome sort of criminal there.

Also at first when I showed up he denied that money orders are allowed at the Post Office. Then he allowed it through and startedasking more intrusive questions such as "who's it for?" when he shouldknow who's cashing in the money order in the first place.

I suspect it may have something to do with news I found after researching on Google about being interrogated by the Postal Servicethat 2 men robbed money orders at the post office.

If I am going to be treated like a criminal just for cashing in a money order I rather take checks to help support my non profitpolitical cause.

I was scared he was going to ask what my website address was but if he did I am afraid to tell him because he may end up sending me to theback of the room to be held in a detention cell awaiting police to sendme to jail over my political website getting a little amount of moneyto pay for equipment replacements, and to help pay for my website.
