The Silent Majority
by
Terry Clement
The Gadsden Flag was flying,
The people they were strong,
It's time they voiced their opinion,
How our country has been wronged.
Congress thinks our Constitution,
Is what they can walk upon.
The public was just outraged,
But the Congress did not care,
A once free country,
But the Congress did not care,
A once free country,
Was about to see despair.
So the once Silent Majority gathered in small groups.
Voicing their opinion, and kicking up their boots.
Voicing their opinion, and kicking up their boots.
Riding across the country they came from far and wide.
The Silent Majority heard our nations cry.
The Silent Majority heard our nations cry.
The great American Tea Party is brewing nice and strong,
Cause Congress thinks our Constitution,
Is what they walk upon.
Congress just ignores us,
For that,
For that,
They won't last long.
Our voices will be heard.
FOR WE,
We are the Silent Majority,
And we are marching up and down.
We will take our voices to the polls,
And be heard from town, to town.
We will take our voices to the polls,
And be heard from town, to town.
God Bless America,
Terry Clement

According to the highly accurate Rasmussen Reports polls, 66% of American voters are angry at the media and 33% call themselves “very angry” at the media. The question did not differentiate which media sources were causing this anger. This is not necessarily a new perception, voters for years have insisted that the American media have a strong “liberal bias.” Back in the final months of the 2008 election, 51% of voters said that most reporters were trying to help Obama win the presidency while only 7% said the media was trying to help John McCain and 31% thought media coverage was neutral.
68% of voters say that when covering political campaigns and news, reporters try to help politicians they favor. 48% today believe that most reporters when they write or talk about President Obama are trying to help the president pass his agenda and only 18% of voters believe that reporters are interested in blocking Obama’s agenda. The media fairness issue is big in most voters’ eyes as 54% of voters think most reporters would hide any information they uncovered that might hurt a candidate they wanted to win, up seven points from November 2008 when voters already thought media bias was a problem.
In all 51% of voters today label reporters as more liberal than they are; while only 15% say reporters are more conservative than they are and 55% of voters say media bias is a bigger problem in America than campaign contributions from big donors.
Another area of anger is the Gulf oil spill. The vast majority of Americans are blaming British Petroleum (BP) for the explosion and leak. However, 67% of Americans believe the U.S. government does not inspect offshore oil rigs properly and 33% say it’s very likely that the problem could have been avoided IF government inspectors had done a better job. Certainly, since the ’90 and ’94 safety laws were “signed off on;” BP was one week away from getting a safety award from the government’s MMS; and since ten fire booms were required at the Deepwater Horizon site and zero were there . . . the public perception seems grounded in fact. Since these facts have NOT been widely disseminated by the media, perhaps this too is part of the anger Americans feel toward the media?
An area of doubt for Americans is that of Global Warming, many more Americans are expressing doubt and say that scientists are "not in accord" about global warming. 59% of Americans say they are not willing to pay more in taxes and utility costs to generate cleaner energy and fight global warming. Since the American mainstream media have chosen to give zero% coverage to the Climategate scandal that even the liberal London Times showed up as fraudulent "science," perhaps this too is part of the anger Americans feel toward the media?

As if he hadn’t already done enough evil in the last seventeen months, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Democrat from Nevada) is still aiming to pass two more disgraceful pieces of legislation opposing the best interests of the American public. A long shot is Reid’s attempt at so-called Immigration “Reform” hoping to pass a law that will give amnesty and nine months later citizenship to 20 million illegal aliens in this country. That accomplishment, if it comes would be the ultimate coup for Reid’s master Obama and practically guarantee Obama re-election and Democrats control of the country for the next 20 years.
Little known, however, is Reid’s aim to create a national police force for Barack Obama killing two birds with one horrible stone . . . Reid is pushing the “Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act (HR 413) as a way to solidify the strength of unions in the country and hand Obama a national police and fire force loyal to him more than the states and cities they protect.
The temerity of the Democrats in aiming to make individual union “yea” or “no” choices into a matter of national law is scandalous. Of course, Reid is talking up the proposed laws as “crucial to national security.” One wonders if radical Islamic Jihadists are part of that particular vision of national safety? The law “benignly” seeks to nationalize rules governing every police, fire and other first responder union in the country and to have every single policeman and fireman and emergency responder to be represented by collective bargaining rules emanating from Washington, D.C. In the process, state rules and municipal rules would be nullified.
You’d think the Greek example of overly powerful national unions would have been an abject lesson for Harry Reid, who’s never met a socialist law which didn’t send an orgasmic thrill up his leg. By taking away the local and state control over police and fire forces, this is a tremendous challenge to the 10th Amendment’s separation of federal powers from state and local ones. Of course, national unions would also determine pay and benefits as well as promotions. An evil law that deserves to be flushed down the toilet.

According to Margaret Thatcher, “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.” According to Barack Obama’s words and actions, there has NEVER been a single problem with socialism or with “scientific socialism inter alia ‘communism.’” Why else would he continue to use Spain as the poster-boy for all the great things he wants to bring us courtesy of his “Great Economy” and violate standing laws to deny real creditors the money due them and instead divert that money into stock ownership to his auto workers union** friends? However, while Barack Obama was putting on his make-up prior to his Oval Office oil spill speech, the Spanish government was telling Spaniards “Oooops, we made a mistake and now we have to undo it.” The brief history is this:
Candidate Obama promised to create five million green jobs in his first term and move the United States “boldly toward” a booming new economy. President Obama has since repeatedly mentioned that goal and repeatedly put Spain out there as his model for America.
Spain, in 1997 was indeed the poster-child for European economic soundness with a booming economy and a miniscule 3% joblessness.
Spain along with Denmark and a few other governments began a shift to a “green economy” by instituting subsidies for environmentally-friendly businesses. They originally expected that roughly $125, 000 could fund the creation of any typical green job. There was an expectancy that these green jobs would be permanent and create a more environmentally-friendly and sustainable economy.
Spain today is almost as bad off as bankrupt Greece is. Last year unemployment reached 17.8%, today it sits at nearly 21%. A Spanish economist finished his study of the green disaster last year and released the results to the world . . . more on this later . . . but in the face of a further collapse in the Euro and a worsening overall Spanish national economy initiating even higher interest rates necessary to sell Spanish bonds and (most Greece like of all) as Spanish unions are calling for a general strike, of the seven endangered European economies, Spain is only marginally better off than the bankrupt Greeks.
Last night, during his speech, Barack Obama again praised Spanish efforts and brought up his promise to create green jobs (as well as the America-killing cap and trade legislation he’s pushing). You’d think that Spain’s green efforts were an unmitigated success, eh?
Yesterday, the Spanish government let it be known that now after a dozen years, they'd begin looking at de-subsidizing green jobs. What that means isn't exactly clear. Removing 10% of the taxpayer backing? Removing 50%? Removing 90%. Let's see what percentage of the new green jobs subsidized every year will now be funded . . . and, under these new circumstances what percentage of green jobs will actually prove permanent. Less than 5%? Less than 2%?

Less than 5%? Less than 2%?
All Obama's words came despite the forenamed Spanish economic study which shows that a) each green job in Spain required a $675,000 subsidy b) the taxes required to create each new green job cost the loss of 2.2 real jobs in the real Spanish economy c) the average green job lasted less than 18 months d) only 10% of the green jobs proved permanent e) the average pay amounted to $10-$14 per hour only, and most importantly f) based upon the very Spanish model Obama’s praising, it’s probable his promised five-million new green-tech jobs would cost eleven-million real jobs and only 500,000 of these green jobs would prove permanent . . . a 22/1 ratio of lost real jobs compared to permanent green jobs created.
For any half-way thinking American, the president’s logic, or lack thereof, amounts to a whole lot to swallow . . . It remains to be seen if so many Americans will once again allow themselves to be taken in by our president. At least 60 lies issued from his facile lips during his first Oval Office staging, but five of these lies are so serious and so obvious that it’s a wonder that a huge collective “Bull-shi-!” did not roar across the nation when those false words escaped his lips, to wit:
1. “We’re running out of places to drill for oil."
2. “We’ve been on top of this since Day One."
3. The unspoken lie: “Bush is responsible for this problem too,” was hinted at in a slightly veiled manner as he talked about the failures of MMS.
4. Mr. Obama talked about converting to “a profitable new green industry” leading the way to future American prosperity.
5. And the illogical conclusion, “This proves we must institute ‘cap and trade’ legislation and green jobs at a cost of TRillions” (that’s right Cap and Trade is a $10 TRillion tax applied to the economy according to Obama associate Richard Sandor president of the Chicago Climate Exchange,CCX, a monstrous conflict of interest that he and Gore and Obama are part of); and the earlier mentioned Spanish green-economy disaster.
Let us now take on the five greatest of Obama’s sixty lies . . . first of all we are NOT running out of oil or lacking places to drill for oil. The environmental fringe has prevented us from building any new refineries here since 1974. The environmental fringe has made it difficult if not impossible to drill on land in this country or for safer shallower offshore wells. And most importantly we now have discovered the largest oil reserve in the world far bigger than the entire Middle East: the Baaken Field . . .
unfortunately, only the Indian tribes owning land above the Baaken oil reserves are allowed to drill there.
Secondly, Obama and his administration have actually been dithering since Day One and have NOT been “on top of it.” If they had been, the easily predictable effect offshore, on the beaches, in the marshes and on the fishing and tourist industry would presumably have been met by an incisive federal effort to combat the spill’s effect starting about Day Ten and Mr. Obama would have made last night’s speech about Day Seven.
Thirdly, Mr. Bush has been out of office for almost seventeen months now. Mr. Obama promised to clean up the mess in D. C. as well as the mess in our economy and has not done either, but instead has resorted to blaming Bush for his own failures since Inauguration Day. This economy and this administration are Mr. Obama’s NOW and it's time for the buck to actually stop with him.
Fourth, his monstrous lie, he called green-tech jobs “profitable.” If they were profitable, we would have a major green industry in this country and we do not. If these green jobs were profitable, there would be no problem with oil and it’s emissions. Mr. Obama believes that an edict by him from Washington is all it takes and then POOF! the scientific breakthrough needed will appear overnight magically and then . . . yes, then green jobs will be profitable.
And lastly, Cap and Trade is a conflict of interest that will enrich Mr. Obama, Mr. Gore, about twenty of their key cronies and ten well-known progressive foundations while crippling the American economy to the tune of $10 TRillion each and every year. And both Cap and Trade and “green jobs” are based on the fringe environmental lie that man-caused greenhouse gasses are creating dangerous global warming. That lie was shown by the ultra-liberal London Times to be an absolute fraud:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article6936289.ece
Clearly, Obama has a lot of blue-sky in mind for all Americans. For a supposedly intelligent fellow, Mr. Obama (and his progressives) do an awful lot of “thinking” with their emotions. “If I want it, it must happen – let there be light!” is not the basis for a logical energy policy.
Mr. Obama, either really does NOT care about Americans and the American economy; or he believes in word-magic . . . the certainty that his merely saying something is so, makes it so. He owns an administration of lawyers and left-wing radicals and neither he nor any single member of his administration has ever produced a useful good or service in their combined lifetime, but he is cocksure that throwing money down the green rat-hole will produce a viable alternative energy economy capable of sustaining 140 million jobs and adding at least 3 million new jobs every year. Our president is delusional. If George Washington marveling at the antics and electrical discoveries of Benjamin Franklin had insisted upon gambling the economy of 1791 America on creating an “electric power grid” he would have been at least as sane as Barack Obama because if green jobs don’t kill 21st Century America; his Cap and Trade and Green Jobs initiatives surely will.

**in the case of Chrysler's bankruptcy personally orchestrated by Mr. Obama against 220 years of legal precedent
We read here: “In Nevada, tea party favorite Sharron Angle overtook a better-known rival and won the right to challenge Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the fall. The outcome delighted Reid, who hopes to revive his re-election prospects by highlighting Angle's unorthodox views, such as privatizing Social Security and eliminating the federal Energy and Education departments.”
What delights Reid is the fact that well over half of the American people depend on government entitlements. It is frightening to those folks to think about a change back to personal responsibility. One way or another, Harry, you are an accident waiting to happen. The handwriting is on the wall. It is more frightening to sit and watch America go bankrupt.
I’ve yet to hear any of those now in power getting down to the specifics of balancing the budget, they who have let the system go out of control. Everyone knows that government spending is unsustainable. It is gratifying to know that at least one candidate has the unorthodox view of privatizing Social Security and eliminating the corrupt federal Energy and Education departments. As I see it, the problem is that we don’t yet have enough like Sharron Angle. If the Tea Partly has a problem, it is not speaking out more forcefully on shrinking the present out of control government.
Four Lessons Larger than Life . . . .
Americans Must Stand for Something
Rather Than Falling for Anything
Though NOT believing in astrology, Ol’ Rajjpuut is a Libra, one of those well-balanced people who occasionally like to throw their weight around. Besides a strong preference for cheeseless six-ingredient pizzas and eating the entire apple except for its stem, he has a particular fetish for learning about things that happened on his birthday, October 16, throughout history. For example:
On October 16, 1859, John Brown made his famous raid of “patriotic treason” on Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia’s federal armory; in 1962, President Kennedy was shown the photos of missile silos in Communist Cuba taken a day earlier; in 1964, Red China got nuclear weapons joining England, France, the USSR and USA; in 1793, the beheading of Marie Antoinette by the guillotine; in 1946, the hanging of the original ten Nazi war criminals after the Nuremberg trials; in 1854, the birth of Oscar Wilde; in 1888, the birth of Eugene O’Neill; in 1919, the first popular speech in Munich by Adolf Hitler transforming him overnight into the de facto leader of the Nazi party in Germany; and also in 1919, the publishing of this poem:
The Gods of the Copybook Headings**
by Rudyard Kipling
As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.
We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place;
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "Stick to the Devil you know."
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "The Wages of Sin is Death."
In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: "If you don't work you die."
Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four—
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man—
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began:—
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
Let’s call that poem by Kipling, “Exhibit A” that the popularity of an idea or plan has no necessary relation to its wisdom or factual basis. Truly we human beings have a nasty tendency to “throw the baby out with washwater” and ignore history’s lessons until we repeat them as Kipling emphasized in his poem above. While it’s true that “a certain foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,” the operative words in that saying are “certain” and “foolish” not consistency . . . it is the practice of consistently doing the right things and thinking the right thoughts and operating our businesses and our lives with the right “spirit” that leads to true success. If a vital 7-10% of success and a good life is based upon NOT being trapped by the past; perhaps the other crucial 90-93% is knowing what the hell we’re talking about, because we truly understand our own and all history and are somewhat expert in the areas we’re involved in. The next great lesson for our times is this from Ben Franklin, we’ll call it “Exhibit B”:
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary security deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
A third great lesson is this from Nobel Prize-winning economist Friedrich A. Hayek, we’ll consider it “Exhibit C”:
“Man does NOT and canNOT know everything and when he acts as if he does, disaster follows.”
And from the greatest and most tested of our United States’ Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, our “Exhibit D”:
“As I would not be a slave; I would not be a master.”
You well might ask, “What’s all this got to do with the price of Chinese tea?” Exhibit B: When Franklin says, “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary security deserve neither liberty nor safety,” he is talking directly about those who would give away your liberty by promising you that their upcoming “Nanny-State” will take care of you from cradle to grave . . . that is, socialists, communists, various Utopians and all manner of collectivists.
When in Exhibit D: Lincoln says, “As I would not be a slave; I would not be a master,” he is talking about those who would enslave you; would become your master as part of the huge government entity that would have its tentacles reaching into every part of everyone’s lives and emphasizing that both roles master and slave are hideous.
In Kipling’s poem Exhibit A: “The Gods of the Copybook Headings,” we’re reminded that change for change’s sake is a losing proposition now and always has been. Some of our traditions are at least two million years old; our culture and the experiences of the past have value and should NOT be discarded on promises of blue sky and concession rights in Atlantis circa 3000 B.C. An awful lot of grief has been created by Utopians and Utopian movements promising brand new Edens but never delivering.
And Hayek’s quotation, Exhibit C: “Man does NOT and canNOT know everything and when he acts as if he does, disaster follows,” is wisdom aiming to protect us against charismatic hucksters who want to sell us a pig in a poke. Just because someone has an attractive, confident personality and believes something with all their heart, mind and soul doesn’t mean they’re right or their words are true . . . and it doesn’t mean you should drink their kool-aid either. TRUE BELIEVERS -- whether they’re the Jim Jones,’ radical Islamist Jihadists, or Heaven’s Gate leaders or anyone following any of those folks – such TRUE BELIEVERS tend to be wrong about thirty times more often then they’re right and if we’re not circumspect and cautious they can lose us our lives, liberty and sacred honor and perhaps our very souls.
The 2008 election was a referendum on these four exhibits . . . the eclectorate got what they deserved: a charismatic huckster and true believer leading us toward his kool-aid. Unfortunately, 2008’s other offering was a progressive Republican who though he was perhaps one hundred times preferable to Barack Obama, was just Tweedle-dumb running against Tweedle-dumber. The biggest potential virtue of Barack Obama is in reminding all American voters of the four great truths represented by Exhibits A, B, C and D and reminding us how wonderful the United States of America is by threatening us seriously with its loss.

** What in the hell are “copybook headings?” In the old penmanship books they not only taught kids to print and write longhand, but did so with a constant barrage of wise counsel such as: “A penny saved is a penny earned.” “A fool and his money are soon parted.” “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” “Fortune favors the bold.” “Better late than never.” “Never look a gift horse in the mouth.” "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." “If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” Etc., etc.

When i read that the Tea party wants money for fax blast.. I have to ask one simple question. Why..?
What good do Faxes do.. No one in Washington gives a damn.. What did all the phone calls and faxes do to stop Obama care... Who in Washington really cares what we think..?
Use the money to defeat the liberal candidates.. use the money to buy TV adds.. but don't waist it on Fax machines that are set up to automatically dump the faxes in the trash...
I will not donate for that...

Instead of moving forward ---.
We are a “Do It Yourself” form of self-governance. The U.S. Constitution is a document of absolute authority guaranteeing individual rights.
As a Republic we elect those in whom we have placed our trust to transact business on our behalf.
The true power is in the ‘People’ first, the U.S. Constitution second, and from there, flows into the various branches of government, while some defined powers flow to the States.
A Faith Based Conservative is a Citizen who frames his or her ideas, actions and deeds based upon a foundation of Judaic/Christian values. The theological base of the Citizenry is of less importance if the national foundation remains the same. Our national decisions must be predicated upon consulting God first, the U.S. Constitution second, and lastly those we have empowered to do our bidding. Based upon what God says, keeping in harmony with the U.S. Constitution and giving guidance to our elected officials, we will grow healthy as a nation, not just progress for progression sake.
We The People can change, the U.S. Constitution can change and we can change those we have placed in power. Furthermore, our basis can be altered from a Judaic/Christian foundation to Islamic, Human Secular and any combination of governmental or theological frameworks.
However, the further we stray from the original premise set forth by our Founding Fathers further the core of our nation becomes more divergent, yielding a different national persona. These changes I speak of can manifest at a very fast pace, as per the change witnessed from 1933 to 1945 in Germany, the results were disastrous to the world.
Therefore, with God as our master, the U.S. Constitution as our road map we can empower those we have placed in authority.
Are we a nation of individuals, do we choose to grow and stay the course set before us in 1776?
What Say Ye?
Dear Tea Party Members, Now that you signed up in support of the organization, that is only the first step. Can not sit back and just look. We are looking for feed back, on
what is going on in your State, County and town right now.
We are in a stuggle with the Left wing and the Terrorism in the U.S. and the world. You can not sit back and do nothing. You will find that you have lost your Liberty and your money for your self and your kids. Do not look to Washington right now.
So let us hear from you, what is up setting you ( or pissing you off ). Or what is good in your State or Town right now.
This is only the start, to get the right people in Washington
and to get the wrong people out ! But we have to know what is going on in your part of the country.
Clock Ticks Down on the American Experiment
Even though it somehow “didn’t rate a mention” in Time magazine’s 100 most important newsmakers of 2009, the fact is that the TEA (Taxed Enough Already and Taken Enough Abuse) Party is the single most important political dynamic in America today. The TEA Party has the ability to make or break America. The most important negative trends leading toward “breaking” the country are these:
1. There is no united TEA Party forwarding important goals and blocking destructive ones. For example some want to make the TEA Party a third party running in opposition to Republicans and Democrats which means that political funding must be pursued and the likelihood is that the TEA Party under those circumstances will divide conservative votes and ensure the continuation of Progressive dominance** of the Democratic Party and of the nation.
2. The incredibly important “Contract FROM America” has been virtually ignored. Rajjpuut firmly believes that next to the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, this is the most important document emphasizing human liberty ever written. Certainly it’s the most important such document in our turbulent times – and it’s being ignored by the TEA Party rather than made into PSA (public service announcements) educating the rest of America exactly what the TEA Party stands for. For example if you visit the link:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/14/tea-party-contract-from-a_n_537515.html
you'll find a pretty good slide show on the "Contract From America" but it's kind of sick when the best information in the most attractive form on the most important single TEA Party activity in its history has to be found on the Huffington Post, no? All TEA Party sites ought to have a TEA Party 13 slide presentation explaining how the contract came about and the 10 items in the contract starting with #1 "Protect the Constitution" fully explained.
3. Some effort by the ultra-right Republicans to “co-opt the TEA Party” for their own ultra-conservative SOCIAL programs emphasizing abortion; creationism; blurring of church and state separation and the paramountcy of Christianity which endangers the ability of all Conservatives (including Independents and Democrats) to agree on the VITAL matters mentioned below . . . .
On the other hand, thus far the TEA Party has demonstrated mostly a potential for greatly benefitting and perhaps saving the nation. The movement has reflected logic, NON-VIOLENCE and the traditional American grit and libertarianism associated with the FOUNDING FATHERS . . . and MUST continue to do so, if it is to continue to work as a constructive and salutatory force in the nation. The most vital truths right now are these for the United States of America, the country has . . . .
A. A Constitutional crisis that truly requires constitutional-conservatives to step up
B. A taxation, deficits, National Debt and government-spending crisis that truly requires fiscal-conservatives to step up
C. A jobs and overall economic crisis that truly requires fiscal-conservatives to step up
D. A philosophical crisis featuring a battle to the death with a socialist/marxist president intent on fundamentally transforming America into another Cuba . . . this battle requires fiscal-conservatives and constitutional conservatives to truly step up and to unite in common cause.
At present roughly 97% of Republican-conservatives ; 68% of conservative Independents and 52% of conservative Democrats agree that we are in crisis mode. That is a dominating force IF allowed to remain united. In the past this conservative force has never been fully united. Why?
In the past, the Right-wing of the Republican Party has insisted upon four things that irritate some Independent conservatives quite a bit and virtually all Democratic conservatives totally:
1. An absolute ban on abortions even where the life of the mother is in question; cases of rape or incest; or even when extremely young girls become pregnant. This is the single largest and most emotional issue. Unless CONSERVATIVES can agree to leave this issue a matter of personal faith (and abortion IS and has been the law of the land for almost 40 years now) they will continue to cancel each other's votes and make elections of Barack Obamas and other serious radicals from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party into a regular event.
2. Refusal to acknowledge complete separation of church and state. For example, saying it's all right and "normal" to teach Christmas carols in PUBLIC schools attended by Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, atheists, etc. (Obviously what's taught in private religious-oriented schools is a totally different matter.) Anyone who can't see that the founding fathers would be aghast at 1. the government being involved in educationa at all and 2. people insisting that something paid for by the government could fly in the face of separation of church and state needs to familiarize themselves with the Founding Fathers; the doctrine of full separation of church ande state; and with the positions of Independent and Democratic Conservatives on this all-important matter and ask themselves how deeply do they want Barack Obama to win in 2012; achieve 20 million new voting illegal aliens and finish off the American Republic?
3. Attempting to institute the teaching of creationism in PUBLIC school science classes in opposition to evolution. Same criticism by the Founding Fathers mentioned in the preceeding paragraph applies. Why is the government involved in funding schoools? Why do some people insist that items of the Christian faith should be pushed down the throats of people of other religions where the government is funding things? . . . and there is the other question, of why people can call everybody else's creation story a "myth" but insist that the Judeo-Christian creation story is 100% literally true even though often many of the same events show up?
4. A stance on individual differences that allows the Democratic Party to label with some accuracy the extreme-right as racist and the entire Republican Party as a regional (for the south) party and not a national party. Within reason, a "live-and-let-live" libertarianism is the only stance that makes sense. Clearly 85% of Americans, while they may accept gay unions are opposed to gay "marriage" and certainly to gays adopting children . . . the conservatives need to forget their differences (eliminate the negatives) and accentuate their positive agreements. 'tis the only hope for America.

** specifically, David Plouffe’s been brought back to control the national Democratic effort. Reading the leftist blogsites, clearly the Democratic plan is simple and they believe it will do surprisingly well this November:
1. Using their huge e-mail list, aim to “re-energize” and bring back at least 90% of the first time and other voters that elected Barack Obama in 2008.
2. Blame Bush for the nation’s ills.
3. Blame Republicans as the “Party of No” for obstructing the president’s policies which would have otherwise, they’ll say, already have cured the country’s problems.
4. Use what they call the “divisive TEA Party effect” to split the conservative vote and to make the opponents of Democrats run on policies that are well to the right of center which, they believe, will alienate the voters greatly.
Rajjpuut, personally, believes the Dems have badly misjudged the electorate’s emotions and except for the possibility of #3, IF the TEA Party chooses candidates rather than revealing their “Contract from America” via PSAs and serving their natural role as “king-makers” the progressive Dems and progressive Republicans are cruising for a bruising. So, clearly, the TEA Party needs to
1. Publicize its main document repeatedly
2. Avoid the ultra-right Republicans
3. Concentrate on fiscally and constitutionally conservative issues such as those in the “Contract FROM America.”
4. Stay independent, logical, Non-violent and simply honest and patriotic and allow the Progressives enough rope to hang themselves.
5. Also emphasize the Obama economic record, the Obama anti-Americanism and the Obama transformation toward socialism at every opportunity. Help conservative Republicans and conservative Independents and Conservative Democrats get elected by running essentially against Barack Obama.
U-Tube Video Puts the Question
to Gullible American Voters
As you may know, in keeping with his pledge to "fundamentally transform America," Barack Obama has failed to live up to his pledge to keep unemployment figures under 8%. Currently he’s glorying in a recent report that shows that 443,000 new jobs were created last month. Not mentioning that 411,000 of them were temporary government census worker positions. One thing also not mentioned is that despite the nation’s job woes, Obama has seen to the expansion of government employment undercutting the private sector and killing the creation of REAL (productive) jobs. While the private sector has lost over 4.3 million jobs on Obama’s watch the public sector has expanded by over 460,000 jobs.
Note in some studies, when it comes to permanent jobs, the Federal government pays up to $12 MORE per hour for the same job as a private sector employer will and offers “through-the-roof” benefits and the option of retirement at age 52 with accordingly through-the roof lifetime benefits and extreme high retirement pay closely akin to what the union workers in Greece were getting before that country’s collapse. Throw in his Obamacare health "reform" program and his attempts at job-killing cap and trade legislation and anyone with a brain ought to be able to see that on performance alone, he is radically restructuring this country and destroying our children's and grandchildren's future. As if all that were not bad enough:

Rajjpuut has watched this ten-minute video four times and while he's NOT deeply impressed with the spirit of the first 30 seconds of it, he's done a lot of research and concurs with roughly 99%** of the facts and about 92% of the spirit of this video. Every American voter ought to see the video check it out with their own research and make up their own minds. If you feel as strongly as Rajjpuut does about the implications of the first two paragraphs of this blog and the clear socialistic pattern shown in the video, he’d be honored if you’d pass it on to your e-mail list. Thank you.
Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,

** The video is overly aggressive at the start and woefully inadequate in a few other places later. For example talking about weaknesses: Rajjpuut does not like at all the many “birther implications” in this video . . . yes there is a “technically” strong argument. However, in the true spirit of things, no matter how evil and screwed up his mother was (she was making these decisions for him during his childhood not him making them for her) he was born to an American woman and in “spirit” is an American citizen.
Some places that Rajjpuut sees the video dropping the ball are these: he would describe the religion of both Obama’s mother and birth-father as either “none” or atheism. Most importantly the video doesn’t reveal enough about Barak (without a ‘c’), Sr.’s communism which was conveniently NOT mentioned in Barack, Jr’s first autobiography “Dreams from My Father.” That can be found here:
http://www.politico.com/static/PPM41_eastafrica.html
Notice the reference therein to “scientific socialism – inter alia communism” on the first page of the article; and later discussion of the benefits of “100% taxation”; takeover and nationalization of foreign businesses in Kenya; need for redistribution of wealth out of Kenyan Asian and Kenyan White hands to benefit Kenyan Blacks and the whole litany of desires of a typical “fellow traveller” (died-in-the-wool communist).
Is anyone else almost frustrated to tears by the actions of our executive and legislative branches? Did it cross Pelosi or Obama's mind that there is a 13 trillion dollar deficit in this country! How do they respond? By passing or (backdooring would be more appropriate) a trillion dollar healthcare spending bill against the will of an overwhelming majority! This is democracy? This is "transparency"? This is criminal! We fought wars to keep other government's from exerting their will upon us and now look! These arrogant baffons Pelosi and Obama are single handedly flipping the bird to the sacrifices made by our veterans and forefathers in their defense of OUR liberty. The American revolution was fought over a 3% tax rate, and now look! Obama is robbing Peter to pay Paul! Only problem is, what happens when Peter runs out of money? Look at Greece!
I was taught to work hard for what ever it is in life that I wanted. Now 1/3 of my hard earned paycheck goes to corporate bailouts, healthcare (which i already had cause I busted my butt to have a decent job in life), paying OTHER PEOPLES MORTGAGES! and other handouts. I get up early and bust my behind daily so Obama can take my cash and give to those sitting on there a**es all day!
To top it all off, this spineless jellyfish can't even stand up and defend our allies because someone might get their feelings hurt. The world is now running amuck due to the floudering weakness and lack of leadership in this country. Let's be nice to Iran and the terrorists trying to kill us! Is he for real? So far Obama's kumbaya approach has done nothing but make terrorists believe we are a softer target, and we have been very lucky that recent plots have not gone down as planned. I do not believe that luck makes for effective national security plan!
Obama has officially replaced Jimmy Carter as a national joke! He speaks out against a law he never even read, He uses his office to host celebrities and championship teams while the world becomes increasingly unsafer, oil ruins the gulf of Mexico and hard working American's are thrown over a barrel to pay for the useless. UGH! I could go on forever but someone in this country has to actually work for his money!
Harvard Study Reveals: Incumbents KILL jobs
FACTS are Facts, Incumbent Spending KILLS jobs***
OH, my GOD! OH, my GOD! OH, my GOD! OH, my GOD! Rajjpuut, who distrusts big government mightily, has seldom enjoyed writing anything as much as this blog . . . . it began with a recent Rasmussen poll that said that only 18% of likely voters believed that additional government spending would help the economy. Were they right, those 18%? Certainly our president acts like he believes they’re right. Where to find the truth, where to turn?
Truth is crucially important to the well-being of a democratic-republic. Unfortunately, the newspaper of today is quickly becoming a dinosaur. Meanwhile, only one among the large broadcast TV news organizations is actually trusted more than doubted (FOX News) according to media polls from the last few years. Six important things that clearly can be and must be said about mainstream “lamestream media” today (whether broadcast or print media) are:
1. They love talking to politicians and celebrities in other fields like sports and entertainment.
2. They seem to believe it’s impossible to learn much about government from everyday citizens.
3. They actually believe that a politician and what he/she has to say is “important news” to the detriment of actually chasing down real news about the pain politicians bring into our daily lives and reading and studing proposed laws.
4. They have virtually no curiosity and believe almost anything a liberal or progressive politician tells them and doubt virtually everything a conservative politician utters. And, thus lacking that all-essential curiosity . . . .
5. Add little of value to the American scene. The so-called “Fourth Estate” has degenerated into public relations helpers for the political class (politicians and those whose jobs or livelihood are enhanced by politicians).
6. They have long ago forgotten what real journalism is about.
Rajjpuut intends to remind them what journalism is all about. Let’s take a look at their “a-curiosity” or “in-curiosity” a bit closer . . . at their tendency to believe what politicians they favor tell them and what Americans themselves believe about incumbents. One of the biggest reasons that term limits for congressmen has been an unpopular item is the perpetual editorial you’ll see about the need to maintain the status quo and support a district’s rep or state’s senator because that incumbent is seen as valuable. The idea that virtually all idiot mainstream media hold dear is that incumbency translates into tangible benefits that can be measured economically and in prestige. A one-word definition of that economic and prestige benefit? PORK!
Of course that old wives’ tale is based upon the most common economic myth of all, that private sector jobs can be efficiently and profitably be created by actions that politicians make. Bah humbug! This myth is the bedrock foundation of that idiotic notion known as “Keynesian Economics.” Keynesians consistently claim to have refuted the commonsense proposition that if 75% of all tax dollars were returned to the taxpayers and politicians had to live within a sound budget on the other 25%, this country would see a resurgence of unbelievable proportions . . . an economic miracle that would within half a decade eliminate our national debt and within four decades wipe out all the non-funded obligations. More on proving that later . . . but lets talk about PORK . . . .
While it might be true that PORK helps some, let’s say 3-4% of the populace, it’s undeniable that PORK and other unwise government spending boondoggles and government interference boondoggles (GSBs and GIBs) depreciates the lives of 96% of all American businesses and individuals. However, that last sentence is totally at odds with the myth we’ve been talking about. This myth about the value to a district of an incumbent representative and therefore the need to continually re-elect him is the single greatest driving force behind the swallowing-whole of the private sector by the government . . . . which occurred slowly since 1933, but which has accelerated under progressive politicians from LBJ to the present . . . to be concise every president except Ronald Reagan.
You remember Ronald Reagan, the fellow in office when the Berlin Wall came down and 21 million new jobs were created? And remember this, Reagan was obstructed by Democratic majorities in the house of representatives (the Contract with America in 1994, was the first time that Republicans held a majority there since 1954) for all eight years. He was forced to compromise with the Democrats and let through a huge shipload (whatever) of unwise spending bills to get his tax cuts approved. And Reagan wasn’t proud of the deficits and debt created on his watch . . . but what else could he do? The decade of the 90’s became the second most productive in history given the impetus of Reagan’s years (the most productive was the Roaring 20’s – more on that in a moment).
Four months ago, three Harvard professors at that university’s School of Business (Lauren Cohen, Joshua Coval and Christopher Malloy) were researching the “Benefits of PORK myth.” By the way, ‘tis a well known fact that in large part, our universities are dominated by left-wing professors and even our business schools presumably are mostly believers in the Keynesian myths that the Nobel Prize people find so enthralling . . . so it’s utterly REFRESHING to find real curiosity among professors about government activities. Anyway, back to the chase: the threesome named above were examing correlations between “politically-connected firms and powerful legislative chairmen” when the rock they tripped over turned out to be the ultimate gold nugget of truth. In a phrase their serendipity kicked up the troublesome fact that GOVERNMENT SPENDING KILLS JOBS or as Mark Hemingway at Beltway Confidential put it . . . WHEN GOVERNMENT SPENDING GROWS, THE PRIVATE SECTOR SHRINKS. And as they got deeper into it, they concluded that SPENDING by INCUMBENT POLITICIANS KILLS JOBS. You can look over their research (finished three months back) here:
http://www.utahwfc.org/2010_papers/power.pdf
Or here:
http://www.people.hbs.edu/cmalloy/pdffiles/envaloy.pdf
Their study examining government earmark and budget data from the past four decades – found this trend to be consistent across all variables. Specifically, it affected both large and small firms in large and small states, and it followed the ascension of committee chairmen in both the House and Senate. The study found also that damage to the private sector was “partially reversed” when the committee chairmen either lost their seats or retired.
Let us be clear here, these three professors did what journalists should have long ago done, they went to study the assumption (in logic known as the “premise”) that as a state’s congressional delegation grew in stature and power in Washington, D.C., local businesses would benefit from the increased federal spending sure to come their way . . . but they discovered that the opposite was true. Indeed, companies experienced lower sales and downsized, cutback, retooled and retrenched by cutting payroll, R&D budgets, and virtually all other expenses. Their study showed that as incumbency acculated following a congressman’s ascendancy to the chairmanship of important committees, the average firm in his state cut back capital expenditures by roughly 15 percent.
Now Rajjpuut can hear the scared liberals and progressives in particular screaming, “But, but, that’s . . . just one study.” That’s true. One study that cries out for term limits for politicians and limited government and utter fiscal responsibility.
Here’s a slightly related study:
http://www.icis.com/blogs/green-chemicals/2009/04/the-price-of-green-jobs-learn.html
This link is about a study in which a government spending boondggle took Spain from a booming economy with 3% unemployment 13-14 years ago, to being only behind Greece among struggling European countries and to 17.8% unemployment last year and almost 21% this year. How? By forcing their country into a green jobs commitment similar to what President Obama is now proposing. Obviously, the Spanish citizens are NOT better off because of government spending and government interference. Notice those words in italics “by forcing.” No matter what country you live in, politicians tend to accumulate power and status as they accumulate “tenure.” As power nears abolute power, corruptness such as the PORK in the Harvard study and the “forcible rape” of Spain grow more and more probable. Power can corrupt. Absolute power virtually always does corrupt . . . .
Ya’ll live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut

Up to 90% of the European cap and trade is a fraud according to Europol, the European criminal intelligence agency. "The European Union Emission Trading System has been the victim of fraudulent traders in the past 18 months," said the investigative agency in a statement. "This resulted in losses of approximately five billion euros for several national tax revenues." The agency, based in The Hague, added that it estimated "in some countries, up to 90 percent of the whole market volume was caused by fraudulent activities." Europol officials aired these conclusions after a raid six months ago.

It would mean the end of the American Republic. It would mean the end of free-market capitalism. It would mean the end of the best and freest society the world has ever known. The book, Obama’s first autobiography “Dreams from My Father,” Obama’s first autobiography that the media refused to read and investigate tells us what the end product he is seeking will look like. Here are the words of father (Barak, without a ‘c’ Senior) and son . . . notice the reference to the advisibility and benefits of “100% taxes” and the old man’s reverence for “scientific socialism - iter alia - communism.”

Even discounting inflation already underway, Cap and Trade when fully implemented will raise the cost of all American goods and services 67%. CCX (more below) President Richard Sandor admitted that Cap and Trade was a “$10 TRillion industry” (not mentioning its an industry that produces no goods and services but just “taxes” those who do). Slapping a $10 TRillion industry on top of a $15 TRillion economy means that costs will rise and produce a $25 TRillion economy without one single more product or service produced . . . thus prices will rise by 67% on average.

The leader of this conspiracy, Canadian billionaire (ex-U.N. bigwig and environmental kook) Maurice Strong, exposed the group’s purpose in 1990 when he wrote,
“. . . what if a small group of . . . world leaders were to conclude that the principal risk to the Earth comes from the actions of the rich countries? In order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring this about? . . .”
Strong has said he was discussing the plot of a novel he was going to write. Well Michael Chricton (of “Jurassic Park,” “Andromeda Strain” and a dozen other “technology-run-amuck” techno-thrillers set out to write the same novel. Only difference, when Crichton (who is a research junkie) was done studying the matter he had written a novel about a conspiracy to dominate the world based upon fraudulent global warming data, fraudulently manipulated which the Climate-Gate Scandal has shown to actually be the case . . . . His 2005 novel “State of Fear” is actually an expose of the global-warming hoax and several characters resembling Strong, Joel Rogers, Al Gore, Richard Sandor and Barack Obama play major roles in the novel.
