ACTION

Beckah was silent as they pulled away from the family's Christmas party. She had smiled and joked with family and friends, but her friend Linda, being the observant and wise sage she was, called Beckah aside and asked her why she wasn't eating. Beckah, responding like a brave soldier, said she was just a little under the weather. She knew that if she said anything that all, the frustration, fear, anger, and panic might came rolling out in one great weeping gush of tears, rage, sobbing, and convulsing panic.

She and her husband Jack had both been out of work for four months. The money was gone, the electric bill due, and the car payment was behind. They had sold everything they could, hocked jewelry, and dropped every unnecessary services they could. Jack had worked every odd job he can find, but it wasn't enough. It barely kept food on the table. By this time next month, the house would be in foreclosure, and in three months they would be out on the street. They had no family to move in with, no prospects, no jobs on the horizon, and the economy was still looking very grim. Meanwhile, government was still spending on everything but the economy. It was hopeless absolutely hopeless.

Finally home, Beckah just wanted to collapse. She went to her room drew a warm bath, sunk down in the tub, and cried. For the first time in years Beckah found herself praying ... really praying; the kind of praying she did when she first became a Christian. And while no jobs magically appeared on the horizon, after a good cry and a lot of prayer, there was a tiny speck of peace just knowing that she could still talk to God.

Ho, Ho, Ho! Tis the season to be hustled falalalalalalalala. Normally, this is the time of the year when everybody is standing around with their hands outstretched, from the department stores to the charities. Everybody is reminding you of all you deserve, all you should be thankful for, and "give."

Well, they are half right, that is, if your electricity isn't in danger of being turned off, your house payment has been made, and you have a job to go to every morning. If this is the current situation in which you find yourself, then you are indeed blessed because presently there are about 30 million of our fellow Americans who don't have anywhere to go when they wake up in the morning.

No! I am not going to hustle you for even one dime. I am not going to tell you to give to me, or this worthy charity, or that worthy charity. There are some great charities out there, but you should decide where your money goes. As for me ... I'm going to do something different this year. I'm going directly to the source of the need and cutting out the middle man.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to give to the Salvation Army and Wounded Warriors, but this year I am going to do something different. According to the National Retail Federation Americans spent $504 billion in 2009 during the Christmas holidays. Chances are that number will be about the same this year.

So this year I'm not going to go to Macy's, or Dillard's, or Radio Shack, or Penny's, or Sears, or any of the other stores for my Christmas shopping. This year I am going to wrap presents and give them to my family and friends. And inside those presents will be the story of a family that we helped in their name. The present might read like this:

Bob and Cathy, instead of a bottle of wine this year, please accept our gift of a Christmas meal for a mom and her three kids whose husband is serving in Afghanistan. She is "living" on about $18,000 per year. My gift to you is a gift to them. Knowing you as I do, I know you will be thrilled with this present.

To Family: As you open this present, I wanted you to know that Katie and I talked about it and decided this year that we were going to do things a little different. We knew some friends that were unemployed. They had no money, no hope, and nowhere to turn.

Because of their dire circumstances, this year we've decided to spend our entire Christmas budget on two families. So, let me tell you what our family got you for Christmas. We got you payments for family one. There was a shiny new house payment for Jack. And for Beckah, we lavished her with two car payments, and for the kids we got the very latest in utility payments so they could watch their television, and a full blown Christmas dinner. And here's the best part ... no assembly required.

And for our kids, we got Don and Cindy caught up on their house payment, paid the cell phone bill, in case an employer called someone could answer, and as a stocking stuffer we made them a wonderful Christmas dinner. Hope that all of this fits under the tree. I'll tell you, Katie and I have gotten pretty good at shopping because every one of these presents fits perfectly. There was not one exchange of any gift we got this year. They were all just the right size.

Now that's Christmas. Can you imagine if everyone, all three hundred plus million of us, would just take 25% of our Christmas spending and help an unemployed family what that would mean to them and to the economy? It would mean a $125 billion stimulus to the economy without spending one cent of tax money.

And churches, you can help too. With all the special offerings taken this time of year, and all the extra money you bring in, why not adopt a few families this year? You can't help everybody, so why not really help a few. But be careful, pick out only families that are worthy of such a blessing. Make sure the parents are good role models for their kids, that they are just down with the economy, and not "professionally" unemployed.

Come on businesses ... you can help. How about you tradesmen? This Christmas why not give the gift of a patched roof, or fixed plumbing, or a replaced window for a worthy family in your area?

And you department stores ... how about a free appliance for a needy family? And car dealers ... we haven't forgotten about you! Do you know what the gift of a good running car would mean for a young family struggling to get to the new job they finally found after 18-24 months of endless job interviews? It would mean the world to them.

Listen, you don't have to do the job alone. There are 340 million of us out here. This won't solve all of our problems. Long term we need to fix the economy with a constitutional budget, free enterprise, and honest dollars, but in the meanwhile, this will help.

It will help the people you share with; it will help the economy; it will help ease the family's burden; and, more than anything, it will help you. Those of us who still have somewhere to go when we wake up in the morning, it will help us remember how blessed we really are. It will help us remember who we are as a people. It will help us remember what America and Americans are really all about.

My countrymen, my friends, my fellow patriots, you are needed now more than ever to help us pull this country together. I know it is Christmas and nobody wants Mr. Scrooge lurking about casting humbug over their holiday cheer. However, I believe that we are under attack in so many ways that there is little hope of coming through this situation whole.

George Soros and his fellow traitors, both in and out of government, are attacking our monetary system and have involved the Chinese in their seditious plot. The dollar collapse may be inescapable. The dark heart of militant Islam has set its sights on America. The world is spinning madly out of control and there is little we can do about it. The system is about to reset. When it does, one of two systems will arise from the ashes of that ruin. It will either be the cold, hard, New World Order of an international oligarchy of thugs and tyrants, or ...

You and I will have laid the ground for rebuilding the American community again on those first principles, which include all of us caring and sharing with the rest of our family, friends and neighbors; not as a commune, but as individuals who care about each other and giving others a helping hand. This is not about government programs, this is about human kindness.

This year I hope you will consider the gift of Americans helping Americans. Nobody needs to know the family's name you help. For that matter, nobody even needs to know what you did unless you want to tell them. But by your kindness you may be the only lifeline to the desperate household of a neighbor or family member in our scared nation, and the only lifeline back to the America we once knew. We don't need government to take care of us. All we need is We ... us to take care of the U.S.

Remember ... there was no welfare office when Mary and Joseph showed up in Bethlehem. She did not seek free medical care from the government. Nor did she kill her baby because it was inconvenient. She brought into a world, darkened with sin and sadness, the light of all mankind.

This was prophesied 700 years before the birth of the Messiah back in the book of Isaiah.

Isaiah 9:6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7: Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

And Luke says in his classic Christmas description in Luke 2:

^1. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
^2. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
^3. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
^4. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
^5. To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
^6. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.
^7. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
^8. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
^9. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
^10. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
^11. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
^12. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
^13. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

^14. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
^15. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
^16. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
^17. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
¹⁸And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
¹⁹But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
²⁰And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

This may not be, and, in fact, probably is not, the time of the real birth of the Savior, but this is when we celebrate His birth as a nation, so let's make the best of it. Let us truly celebrate Christmas with those around us this year with the gift of blessing others at Christmas. Really, how much stuff do you need? It's just stuff. Will it be remembered in July? Probably not. But if you make a car payment, or pay a utility bill for a struggling family, do you think that will be remembered in July? I would venture to say, that gift will be remembered twenty years from now and will be listed forever in eternity.

Let this be the year when we all say, "Bah humbug!" to advertisers, bankers, and the typical Christmas hustlers and give the gift that will be remembered in eternity, the gift of kindness ... perhaps the gift of economic survival for a military family, unemployed family, relative or friend in your life.

And while you're out running around and you stop to grab a bite to eat, look around for one of our brothers or sisters in arms, and quietly buy their meal. You don't have to tell them or say a word, just pay quietly and I guarantee you will feel more Christmas in that moment than in ten hours of shopping.

Finally, this year give yourself the greatest gift of all. Gather your family together round a crackling fire, bring out the hot chocolate sing a few Christmas songs, and as a family on your knees thank God that you are together, safe, warm, blessed beyond anything most of the world could ever comprehend. Build memories, faith and love amongst yourselves. None of us knows how many more of these Christmas' we will have.

So ... what will it be this year ... the usual Christmas Hustle or ...

The Greatest Christmas Ever?

Mr. Boehner and the other members of the Republican Leadership,

Some of you were not on the chopping block this election cycle, but you might be next go around...I just want to point a couple of things out that you should keep in mind until 2012.

These are not threats, they are reminders so that you dont lose your focus between here and then.

All those new people? We sent them up there. All those cronies and insiders who are packing their bags to go home? We did that too. You need to look at this from where we stand - we did it once, and we can damn sure do it again - we will do even more next time, as we have almost two years to work on our agenda, and we are going to be watching you.

Yep, you have a nationwide network of auditors looking at your every move. If you care about this country, thats great, thats what we want, but if all you care about is your politcal future, you should factor this into your equations for success. We didnt put your party back into power because we like you or trust you. YOU ARE ON PROBATION.

We didnt send you all back up there to make nice with socialists.

We didnt send you up there to compromise away our national security, our financial future or our childrens hopes and dreams.

We sent you up there to STOP THE MADNESS!!

You skilled politicians be very careful with how you treat our house and our government, because it doesnt belong to you. It belongs to US, and it is on loan to you for the next two years. If you want to keep the positions you hold, then mark these words well...otherwise, it might be YOU packing up your office next time around.

Why do you think the Tea Party was born? The news that Obamacare is in legal limbo should tell everyone that collectivism is a theory with no substance, and that our elected representatives, after taking an oath that they would protect and defend our Constitution, are proven liars. There has never been a successful collectivist government. People are not natively adaptable. We can be collectively for something but not under the law. Ever since the United States started down the road of collectivism, division has been building. The reason for the Tea Party is as plain as the nose on your face. Elected officials with the power to redistribute the people’s energy are naturally going to favor themselves and their constituents. That’s divisive. We are presently witness to the results. America is currently between a rock and a hard place, with no way out. All answers are the wrong answers. Everyone is going to pay a price. The longer we put off the necessary change, the higher the price. Those in denial are going to pay the highest price.

Those with jobs are going to find their paychecks buying less and less. Small businesses are going to increasingly fail, and along with their failures jobs will disappear. The unemployed are going find their government benefits dwindling. With prices going up on goods and services, Social Security benefits remain the same. That spells less and less goods and services.

The unscrupulous “some kind of a god,” Soros' planned revolution, is beginning to go into full swing. As the American people become more and more desperate, and government answers more and more the lesser of two evils, the ultimate Soros planned answer looming—tyranny—there is but one logical way out of the quagmire. The United States has miserably failed to protect and defend our inalienable rights. If we, the American people, are to keep our God-given rights, the same as the evil-doer Soros, we must look within for our answers.

Speaking from personal experience, when I was between a rock and a hard place I looked within and found the right answers, the same answers America’s pioneers found, the same answers written into our Constitution.

At first, hurtles were placed in my way. The lawless IRS put me on the street. It took a strong will to dare government to take my inalienable right to exist on the fruits of my own labor. I passed the tests. I won that battle, and the war. All Soros and government have are bald-faced lies; I have my spiritual guides. Place your bet on who wins?

Everything in the space-time consortium has a beginning and an end. The physical domain is governed by immutable laws. But in us, first comes the idea, then the possibility, and finally reality. Rather than Soros’ reality, it can just as well be our reality, We don’t know the power that lies within us. The physical begins in the microcosmic world, an incomplete world of infinite possibility with which our minds are connected. We make things happen. By going on my own, miracles occurred. When everything should have gone wrong, everything went right.

Jesus said on earth as it is in heaven. Everything he said applies to the miracles I’ve experienced. Jesus said he would return. America was born under the sign of Aquarius. America is a state of mind; it has no place. It is our immaterial essence, our animating principle, the individual’s actuating cause of life, the spiritual principle you can’t take away and replace with a collective soul.

We are at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, an age when brotherhood and fraternity will prevail. I was born Aquarius rising. That means as I grew older I’d become more Aquarian. It happened as predicted. In my forties, I was under pressure to change. At first, the change was frightening. When I became resigned to the change, I looked to a better life ahead. My dream has been fulfilled.

I am iitiating the March Across America. This is not a march in the typical sense. Instead it is a concerted effort to cease in the doing any business with any business owned, operated or that employees illegal aliens. I invite all Tea Party members to unite and disseminate this information to all other Tea Party members, friends and family. If this is done as a genuine movement, in these times of a dissentegrating econmy, it can have a major effect. Once the march is organized and moving forward, it can be made aware to the media. It is there that it will genuinely gain recognition as a reality. In doing so, the media can spread the word and get more individuals on board, while letting the illegals as well as the employers of such, as to the reason for their mysterious decline in business. Let's cut off their income and we can start to take away their reasons to be here.

I took my question to the U. S. Supreme Court. Can the redistribution of personal incomes take away my personal liberty to survive on the fruits of my own labor? Amendment V to the Constitution states that I shall not be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, which means without being heard in a meaningful way in a meaningful place. Amendment IX states: “The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” Do we not have an individual right to property?

Article III section 2 of the Constitution: “The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under the Constitution, the laws of the United States . . . to controversies to which the United States shall be a party.” The United States was a party in the taking of my property in the name of income tax.

26 U.S.C. section 7421 allows the taxpayer to constitutionally challenge his tax where (a) the tax assessment is an illegal exaction in the guise of a tax and (b) there are special and extraordinary circumstances sufficient to bring the case within some acknowledged head of equity jurisprudence.

In the case of the IRS taxing margarine the same as butter, section 7421 applied. The IRS lost. A public corporation won. Would not an individual be more protected by the Constitution than a public corporation, a legal entity? The U. S. Supreme Court has given the Communist Party U.S.A. constitutional protection. The U.S. Supreme Court has given mafia gamblers constitutional protection. Why not this born in America individual? In my case, it wasn’t the law being protected. It was the mighty being favored over the meek. The Supreme Court, lawlessly, as a matter of court policy, refused to hear my question. It was the same in the slavery issue. You can’t depend on empowered people making and keeping the law. That’s why the Constitution divided the power equitably between the three branches of government and the people.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue told the Court that the IRS made a mistake that had been corrected. The facts and evidence I presented did not support the Commissioner. After the fact, the IRS admitted on the front page of The Palm Beach Post that the mistake had not been corrected. The Supreme Court, as a matter of policy, refuses to hear the likes of me. Those frauds on the bench are denying the individual’s God-given rights.

Justice Brandeis, a Roosevelt appointee to the Supreme Court, specifically answers the question I raise. “Property is only a means. It has been a frequent error of our Court that they have made the means the end?” Why did that unconstitutional socialist answer stick? The revered Roosevelt, did he revere my Constitution? No. Roosevelt: “While it isn’t written in the Constitution, nevertheless, it is the inherent duty of the Federal Government to keep its citizens from starvation.” The government has no duty to the individual. There is not one word about it in the Constitution. The Court’s test as to our inalienable rights, before Roosevelt, was that the very essence of a scheme of ordered liberty must have inalienable rights, by reason that neither liberty nor justice would exist if inalienable rights were sacrificed. Thanks to Roosevelt’s “duty”—to keep us from starving—inalienable rights have been abolished. Roosevelt replaced, by socialist standards, the Constitution, left the nation with the tyrannical notion it was government’s duty to do what is for the good of all, for whatever alleged good reason, including robbing the individual of his God-given right to exist.

Under Roosevelt’s duty to the individual, it was seen by the United States that it was very wrong for me to challenge its right to do what it determined was for the good of all. As a lesson, the IRS was permitted to put me on the street. What will be the next liberty to go as the cheese gets more binding? It is now government’s duty to grope us without probable cause. It is getting more scary all the time.

I thought my case, after being published on the front page of The Palm Beach Post in 1986, would get results. There was not one peep. The IRS is known to be above the law. We the people, the courts, Congress, and the President have accepted, for the good of all, that government must be free to tax our incomes by whatever amount is deemed to be necessary. Today, the issue is what is deemed to be necessary, knowing that more tax is bad for the failing economy. We are due for the biggest tax hike in history. I never could understand how Hitler took control in Germany. Now I know.

America is no longer a nation under God. Not only are we not our brother’s keeper in America, we are not our own keeper. The United States of America has conspired with the federal judiciary to strip the American people of all of their inalienable rights, and without protest, except from a few nutcakes like me. Thanks to the revered Roosevelt, government has a duty to you. How wonderful, but the question remains, has this change been good for America? One is inclined not to think so, not with the nation going bankrupt, morally, spiritually, and fiscally.

What if a million taxpayers had read their Constitution, had determined that federal income tax denied them of their constitutional rights, had taken their cases to court? The people, not the government, would have been in control. You read about tax protesters going to jail. Why didn’t I go to jail? I followed the law. I paid the tax and then took the IRS to court. Tax protesters take the law into their own hands. The law gives the individual the right to challenge the tax if he has a personal stake in the outcome. IRS misconduct, including violations of court orders, is the reason I got my case before the Supreme Court.

The American people have been suffering under the delusion that the Constitution guarantees their rights. The IRS told me that Congress has the right to tax my income up to 100 percent. You don’t know that. It isn’t talked. The federal judiciary backs this outrageous trespassing of rights. The federal judiciary allows the IRS to make limitless mistakes. America’s judges are Nazis in principle. What was I fighting for in World War II in Nazi Germany? I possess the irrefutable truth about the United States of America, but who gives a damn? You can’t sit back and enjoy life. It ain’t natural. You’ve got to demand your rights.

Osama bin Laden destroyed the World Trade Center and killed thousands of people as a lesson that you can’t eat, drink, and be merry. Osama blames the American people for allowing America to become a super corrupt super power. It wouldn’t have happened had government not decided that it had a duty to the individual. Jesus said you can’t serve two masters. You’ve got a duty to preserve your God-given rights. Jesus warned us of wolves in sheep’s clothing. He told us that on earth it was the same as in heaven. He told us the kingdom of God comes first. God is in us; our inalienable rights come first. The United States of America is in violation of the laws of God and man. Because we the people don’t know the law we are paying a terrible price.

And what a laugh, I’ve been accused of being a rock in the stream. Read what is taking place in Astrology books. For two thousand years, people have been impressionable and weak willed—drifting on the tides, influenced by external factors. Because we’ve been impressionable and weak willed, everywhere, wolves have seized the opportunity to lead us down garden paths. Here we sit at the threshold of a quantum leap forward afraid of change, and Osama wants to take us back to biblical times. We are now approaching the Age of Aquarius, an age of brotherhood and fraternity. My astrological chart says I’m Aquarius rising. You can read in astrology books that I envision a bright future.

Fact is stranger than fiction. Jesus told us that the meek would inherit the earth. There are no bounds in love. Jesus told us to love our enemy. Man was created with reason and logic, which is fundamental to the law. The law does not change according to political whim (to today’s needs, the frauds on the bench say). It amazes me why I know all of this and others don’t, or if they do one would never know it. Millions are being influenced by the likes of me, but don’t believe what I say. Hey Osama, I recommend that you read the Gospels in the Bible and decide for yourself whether I’m right or wrong. I say that Jesus is our savior and redeemer. I pray that you, Osama, help lead us to the new age at hand. Turn your outrageous religious beliefs into love of your fellow man. There is only one God. Accept the law of all times, that we are all God’s children. Indeed, invite Osama to be our guest. Let him build a mosque at ground zero as an emblem of brotherhood. Instead of the hunted, Osama would go down in history as one of the greatest peacemakers of all times. Why don’t we hear this kind of talk from our leaders? They are following our lead.

Banning the Nativity scene.

I feel I must pass this important alert on to the Tea Party members.



I hope to God we come up with Someone better than Sarah PALIN TO Run the race; her new program Sarah Palin in Alaska does not look like president material for future. I like all her outdoor stuff and how she loves the land but as far as a Presidential run in, Not Got. I thought the Republicans were to help the middle class Why are they still holding up stuff so they can give the millionares breaks, Come on the middle class is starving here.........If we stop hiring immigrants with no green cards to work, Maybe our teens will be able to find work in this country they were born in.....Since badger care my health insurance has gone up along with my medications due to covering for all those who don't have insurance, I know of 5 people who are on badger care and get free mri's and meds, while I pay higher and higher and most of them could pay for there insurance if they quit smoking and drinking all there money away....Thoughts anyone..

http://www.madeinusa.org/nav.cgi please check out this site, we are going to start buying american made as much as we can. it might not do to much good but we are going to give it a try ,please pass this on to neighbor and friends , this web site has a list of companies that still have american made products or it's got a search engine

The only reason we are still here is because we are in a Mexican standoff. However, if religious extremists acquire atomic weapons, and there is a good chance they will, our lives will have the Sword of Damocles hanging over us by a single horse tail hair, or atom bombs aimed at us from Venezuela, we now hear. Where is Obama? The value is in the hanging, not in the falling. The lesser of the evils will be to live according to the will of crazies. People are beginning to realize that conscious awareness matters.

So be aware that in the order of things, came the human, the highest in the order insofar as we know. Religion, rather than relying of reason and logic, human attributes, relies on faith in God and there are many ideas of who God is and what God wants from us. The bottom line of religion is power and control. With religion in control, we will either leave ourselves history written in the rocks or revert back to biblical times, and thence to lower life swinging in trees. The cutting edge of science realizes from lab experiments that the universe is ordered; that nothing could exist without consciousness.

The obvious problem is our inability to control power. Our Constitution failed to stop ambitious men from taking control of our lives. The powerful gain control, bring about destruction, and then we begin again. In the natural progressive order came the Age of Pisces, and with it a great teacher, Jesus Christ. His contemporaries crucified him. Humanity continued on its destructive course until now our very existence is in peril and we are on the downside of the wave.

A big change is inevitable. Those in control—Muslims socialists, fascists, communists, revolutionary anarchists—all dreaming of one-world government, little do they know about the makeup of the universe. The ancients, and now the cutting edge of science, bring us the Age of Aquarius, a one-world brotherhood of individuals with God-given rights.

The new rules for the world’s economy, “for thriving in a turbulent world,” appeared in Wired magazine’s September 1997 issue. “Networks have saturated every space in our lives, an entirely new set of rules will take hold,” asserted the author, Kevin Kelly. The new world order will be nothing like the above mentioned smoke-blowing power seekers imagine.

As for the economy,

1. The Law of Connections: The collapsing microcosm of chips and the exploding telecosm of connections tear the old laws of wealth apart and prepare territory for the emerging economy. So quit worrying about the filthy rich. Think only about getting rich yourself. It’s being made easy.
2. The Law of Plentitude: Curious things happen when you connect all to all. Adding a few more members can dramatically increase the value for all members. So quit being dependent on government. Government gives you a pittance.
3. The Law of Exponential Value: The chart of Microsoft’s cornucopia of profits is a revealing graph because it mirrors several other plots of rising stars in a Network Economy. However, the same forces that feed on each other to amplify network presences into powerful overnight standards can also work in reverse to unravel them in a blink. Success will become nonlinear and self-regulating, thus your chances better if you leave the regulation happy government out.
4. The Law of Tipping Points: Significance precedes momentum. Success became infectious and spread pervasively, and along with it a growing government. It became difficult not to be infected. For instance, how long could one hold out not having a telephone? So why a growing parasite government?
5. The Law of Increasing Returns: Them that’s got shall get. It depends on this: while centralized government gets more punishing, the Network Economy rewards schemes that allow decentralized creation, and punishes those that don’t.
6. The law of Inverse Pricing: While the worst—government—gets more costly each year, the very best gets cheaper each year. It is a major engine for the new economy.
7. The Law of Generosity: Government generously gives away our sweat and creates dependence. Microsoft makes huge profits by giving away its Web browser, thereby creating a need. Get government out of the economy.
8. The Law of Allegiance: I pledge allegiance to my country. The prosperity of the company is directly linked to the prosperity of the network. Get government out of our lives.
9. The Law of Devolution: Let go, Washington, D.C. The tightly linked nature of any economy, but especially the Network Economy’s ultraconnected constitution, make it behave ecologically. The fate of individual organizations is not dependent entirely on their own merits, but also on the fate of their neighbors, their allies, their competitors, and, of course, on that of the immediate environment. Al Gore doesn’t know this.

The Network Economy is a brotherhood. The anarchy the revolutionaries think they are creating (this from my dictionary) will result in the absence of all direct or coercive government as a political ideal and that proposes the cooperative and voluntary association of individuals and groups as the principal mode of organized society, actually a brotherhood of people with God-given rights.

After understanding the fabric that makes reality, all things being aspects of mind, and unity in nature, consciousness, the engine that drives our struggling souls, the religion being created by the cutting edge of science, the collective will of the people, and far and away from the above mentioned power seekers notions, will bring about a brotherhood and but one God who loves us all. Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.

Let's give credit where credit is due. Paul Ryan on Chris Wallace this morning was bold and strong in articulating the conservative position concerning the economy.

In ancient times, the demagog was the leader of the people. The word has been refined to mean a political leader who gains power by arousing people’s emotions and prejudices; in other words a leader who builds an adversary: emotions over common sense, or animal over man’s exclusive: reason.

Which comes first the chicken or the egg? The adversary of reason, the chicken without an egg, the demagog creates the illusion that money is government’s to give according to need, as the demagog sees the need. The need is never the goose that laid golden eggs. Said golden eggs go to those in need, those of the weaker willed welfare state (W.W.W.S.)—whose participants live on emotions. This keeps demagogs thriving on the sweat of the more fortunate, up to a point. In a repeat of recent history; that is, the chicken without an egg demagog and the W.W.W.S. lost big in the last election.

Bill Clinton, who knows all about the current situation, was called in to save the Obama presidency. Clinton, who got his good economic sense from Dick Morris, learned that before the chicken comes the egg, something Obama doesn’t know. Before Clinton learned, he was where Obama is now. By going along with the reformation of the W.W.W.S, the nation prospered and Clinton balanced the budget.

This is of interest. Switzerland has the highest per capita income in the world. Why do you suppose that’s the case? In Switzerland, it used to be (I don’t know what it is now) that politicians could serve only one year, and without pay. Two years has not been enough time to transform America. In fact, things are going from bad to worse.

Couple the chicken-without-an-egg demogog’s power with the Age of Pisces. Pisceans desperately want to do the right thing but being very impressionable and weak willed, we find, they can be easily sidetracked by “external factors,” say astrologers. Too bad, America, but alas, there is still hope. Comes the Age of Aquarius, Aquarians, independent and strong willed, reminding me of the Tea Party, the Tea Party kind of like kicking over an anthill, little wonder the name calling, the object now is to keep the anthill from being rebuilt. Low and behold, leaving the ants scurrying about in confusion, Clinton, the budget-balancer, comes to our rescue!

Fact is stranger than fiction. The Bible tells us that God created heaven and earth, and after populating earth with life, created man, saying, “Let us make man in our image” (Gen 1:26), after which, giving man dominion over all other life, no question about it—man’s superior reason and logic left man in control of all other life. Yep, Jesus said, “The meek shall inherit the earth.” It always gets down to that.

Keeping man’s superior reason and logic in mind, the Bible tells of the Garden of Eden and the first man and woman, Adam and Eve. There was one tree in the Garden, the fruit of which Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat, referred to as the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The Bible tells of a talking serpent in said tree who told Eve to eat and be as all knowing as the gods. She did eat and talked Adam into eating. Thus, knowing good and evil, they covered their reproductive organs with fig leaves. How strange! I presume, it was because they were ashamed of sexual intercourse; they didn’t want to be so prominently reminded. But where did they get this idea? Obviously, someone gave them their ideas on sex. In any event, the fig leaves tipped off God. For their disobedience, God threw the two of them out of the Garden. Adam and Eve did not appreciate all that God had given them, the welfare state and all. They were forced to plow the ground their existence. Furthermore, for Adam and Eve’s disobedience, God ordered that all of humanity thereafter would be born in sin. The only way, I’m told, to receive God’s grace is to confess one’s sins. It doesn’t fit with “Let us make man in our image.” I don’t get the idea from Gen. 1:26 that God was saying “us” is the authorities. Why would God have given me reason and logic? Why didn’t God give me herd mentality. If it doesn’t make sense, it is not the law of nature or the law of man.

Speaking of nonsense, bringing up the story of Adam and Eve, my father told me my disobedience of school rules was indication that I was unappreciative of all that he and society had given to me. I’d been expelled for leaving the school grounds at lunch break. My father refused to help me get back in school. He warned me that I might find myself locked up for my disobedience. Gee! He didn’t want me to finish my education and earn a living. That’s the best way I know to get locked up. My father gave me a book that said if I even thought about sex I was a sinner. He was religious! My father showed me no love. He kept me on a guilt trip. There comes the time when one finds himself alone in a jungle—no one to look to for help, not even Almighty God in Heaven. I was not born in sin. I looked within and received help.

We’re once again in the Christmas season, an appropriate time to get in the Christmas spirit. Time to quit looking to the demagogs. For one thing, we don’t lavish our children with material gifts and then put them on a religious guilt trip. For another, we cease being directed by Washington’s demagogs. We don’t leave our children with an astronomical debt to pay.

I told the story of Adam and Eve on the Internet, as I’ve told it here, and asked this question: since I was born in sin, why not fornicate? I was kicked off of that particular Internet site by reason that my remark would be harmful to children. There are common sense reasons for children not to have sex. We get all the wrong reasons from the Scriptures.

The Bible story of the birth of the Christ Child, a Christmas story: along came three wise men bearing gifts. The wise men were the Magi, Persian astrologers who followed the Star of Bethlehem to the place of birth of the new king of the Jews. King Herod, upon hearing of this new king, sought to find Jesus and kill him. Mary and Joseph, the parents, upon learning this, took baby Jesus to Egypt. Herod killed every baby that was six months and younger. This is a Christmas story. Demagogs don’t think of human life as being of any value, unless it helps their corrupt causes.

So I’m concerned. Jesus was concerned. He turned over the money changers’ tables. Bankers were in the temple swapping gold and silver coinage for worthless temple coinage with which to buy forgiveness. Did God make man in our image, or do priests make man in their image? They are demagogs. Bankers and priests were getting rich on the ignorance of the poor. That’s always the case. They are still at it—selling indulgences. For standing up to those corrupt priests, Jesus was crucified. I was told that Jesus died for my sins. What malarkey!

A much discussed issue, the revealing of classified information that hurts the efforts of those honest faithful authorities—doing their very best to do right by society, it might not be wikiwhako after all. It might give us reason to get real. Clearly demagogs, both political and religious, playing on emotions, this is what brings on wars and/or hard times. Use your God-given assets.

It was at the beginning of the Age of Pisces when Jesus came. When he left this world, he said he would be back. Thank God that my father taught me to distrust earthly authority. Instead of the usual demagoguery attributable to the Age of Pisces, the time has come to start thinking about brotherhood, fraternity, and love—all attributes of the Age of Aquarius.

We knew the boneheads and traitors on the left would never "get it", but it is becoming increasingly obvious that the Republicans aren't close to getting it either. Look at some of the laws they've passed since the historic election that demanded they stop passing ridiculous laws, spending money we don't have and wasting their time. Commercial Advertising Loudness Mitigation Act. They passed the CALM Act which requires advertisers not to turn up the volume on their commercials. This bill is damnably stupid for many reasons, but here are a few. First it reduces free speech. Congress has no control over advertisers. It is unconstitutional to limit free speech in this way. Even if by their standards congress believes it has the right to govern broadcasters (which they do not) at least theoretically they could force broadcasters to install equipment to make sure commercials are all broadcast at the same level. But they, even in their wildest imaginings cannot control advertisers. This bill passed with 100% of Republicans approving in "Unanimous Consent."

Food Modernization Safety Act. Senate Bill S.510 unconstitutionally, treasonously, gave away U.S. food sovereignty to the World Trade Organization and the U.N., while making it illegal to store certain foods, grow food, possess seeds, have a victory garden, and who knows what else. Additionally, it is going to cost billions to implement and enforce and requires the hiring of thousands of employees. All of the senate democrats and 15 republicans voted for this act of sedition. (See my article on this bill at: http://zootter.com/provision1.htm#Happens) We could talk about the complete wastes of time, like votes to require breeders to exercise their dogs. I kid you not. Senate bill S.3424, which "Requires the Secretary of Agriculture to promulgate requirements for the exercise of dogs at facilities owned or operated by a dealer, including requiring daily access to exercise." Or unfunded mandates to states, forcing them to extend certain kinds of patient care. Other bills would force states to pay for additional unemployment and medical care.

Then there is the one-sided START Treaty, the Trade agreement with S. Korea, which is very one-sided in their favor and secret deals to send trillions of dollars to overseas banks and corporations, that are quietly gathering the straws that will break the camel's back, are being allowed to continue. And all of this at a time when even many of the Presidents own advisors are saying "STOP." We can't afford to sustain the economic course we are on. We are going broke. I am going to be as brutally honest as I know how to be. This economy is going to collapse, along with the European economies and most likely the Russian and Chinese economies.

Unfortunately, I believe the dye has been cast. We have been warning America for over two decades that this day of reckoning was coming. I have told people to stock up on the three precious metals, gold, silver, and lead. If you are counting on the republicans to come in and save us, my admonition to you is, "Don't hold your breath." I can give you countless bills, economic models, and data supporting our dire situation, but by now, there are really only three groups of people in the U.S., and you are, by default, a member of one of them.

The first is group is the left who want this to happen. They are championed by Mr. Obama, George Soros, Maurice Strong, Barbara Boxer, Al Gore, and that entire cadre of seditious leftwing villains. But don't kid yourself, the progressive wing of the Republican Party is no different. This includes the likes of Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Norm Coleman, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Gordon Smith, Richard Lugar and many others. They are not only glad that the economy is going to cave in, they are strongly nudging it in that direction with unsustainable programs, spending, and draconian governmental controls. Their plan is to replace our system with a world government. Remember, this is all happening with the backdrop of failing economies around the world, accompanied with the usual riots, looting, burning, and violence.

So, here are all these sophisticated elite, spending day after day majoring in minors, and they wonder why we despise everything they stand for. The sad truth is, they do not get it and never will. They are just tuning the fiddle while powerful forces are preparing the torch for Rome. The second group is made up of a lot of people who don't have a clue. This group contains most young people, almost all democrats who are not in the first group, which is about half, and the establishment Republican who continues to elect those in the first group. They are hapless, helpless, and clueless, and they will suffer immensely when the crash comes because they have no clue that any of these dire economic predictions have come true.

When it happens it will be devastating to them. Wives will be standing in stunned silence when their husbands jobs disappear, banks collapse, governments can't operate, and there are no jobs, no money, no food, and no way out. Husbands will be sheeted in overwhelming disbelief, depression, hopelessness, and panic, which is born by crushing hopelessness. Then there is a small third group that is hopefully growing and that is the group who are becoming aware of just how horribly close we are to economic upheaval. This group contains people of all political parties and diverse religious beliefs who understand that we have never recovered from 911 economically. They get it that we have sent three trillion dollars to foreign banks and companies to bail them out; they understand that the real unemployment numbers are almost equal to those of the great depression; they have figured out that we simply cannot pay our national, state, or local bills; they understand that we may be literally within months of economic upheaval, such as the world has never seen before, and they are making preparations to store food, water, the three metals, and other physical necessities for family and friends. But more importantly, hopefully, they are preparing spiritually.

I believe that those who really know and understand this crisis are not doing so because of education by Glenn Beck or others. I believe that Glenn and others, while they have been an important contributing factor to the growth of the Tea Party movement, are only giving voice to that which these Americans knew in their gut - or better yet their spirit - that something was horribly wrong and that government, despite their protestations to the opposite, has become dark and malevolent in both their intent and action. So, it is as we approach the final days of this year. Real unemployment is near twenty percent. Jobs and companies are disappearing. If there are ten houses on your block, chances are that two of your neighbors are going to have a frightening Christmas because they have no job, no prospects, and very little money.

Our military is stretched beyond sustenance, our economy is hemorrhaging red ink, we have had no budget passed for this fiscal year, our southern border is being invaded by drug lords, who charge people to get into the U.S. to hide in the shadows, doing whatever it takes to earn a living, albeit illegally, while others bringing with them drugs, WMD, kidnapped children and who knows what else. (See"10 children rescued from smugglers in Phoenix") This could lead to an interesting situation on the southern border, as this economy continues to fail.

What if people decide that they would rather move to Mexico to try and eek out an existence there, rather than put up with the violence, government thugs, and hopeless here? How much will the drug lords charge those trying to escape when they cross the border? Will the coyotes be heading Americans or illegals south instead of north? How bad will it get? I can't tell you, but perhaps a story that I wrote back in 1993 will help you understand. This is the story of "Yorel of Moscow" from ChequeMate: The Game of Princes, (1993, Whitaker House, Springdale, PA, pages 11-13).

Yorel Legov remembered life as a boy, when no matter how bad things got, his family could always count on the State to be there. He mused, as he stood in the long line waiting to buy food, how different things were now.

There had been food lines for a long time, but before, he always knew that he would eventually "bring home the bacon." Now, he knew that he would not take home the bacon ... because there was none. For some time the State had taken on the role of controlling all food production through subsidies, encouraging agribusiness, using public-private partnerships, and regulating all farming through environmental protection laws (wetlands acts, clean water acts, state land acts, and a plethora of other land control acts). The production, supply, and distribution of all agricultural products, including produce, meat, dairy, and grain had all been placed under the control of the State. When the corporate State collapsed, everything fell into chaos. As a result, bringing home the bacon (or practically anything else for that matter) was at best difficult, at worst impossible. It had all seemed like such a good idea − centralized power, planning, distribution, and the like.

"Maybe," Yorel thought, "we should have considered what would happen if the State collapsed; but at the time that possibility was just unthinkable. Everyone though the State was forever. The State provided our jobs and regulated our pay to make sure that each was treated with at least the semblance of fairness. The State educated our children and took care of all of our needs."

Yorel was suddenly brought back to reality as the line jolted forward. However, this reality check was short-lived, as the monotony of standing in line quickly set back in. Yorel was soon moving in time backwards to his life as a boy in Moscow. That was a time when there were real neighborhoods. He knew the butcher, the baker, and all of the families around him. He remembered when the wife of the tailor was about to deliver he third child and the neighbors took turns preparing meals for her husband and the other two children. This was just a part of life. No one told anyone to do it − people just did it. Neighbors took care of neighbors.

But now life was hard. Even the thought of taking a meal to a neighbor, or delivering firewood to an elderly couple. was unthinkable. Survival was the order of the day. Yorel's trip down memory lane was interrupted once again as the line inched forward. Perhaps today would be different than yesterday and the day before. Perhaps today he would actually make it to the entrance of the market.

Disturbances and fights in the food lines were an everyday occurrence, as people became desperate. Yesterday, a man had been beaten severely as he first pleaded and then tried to push his way into the front of the line. His plight was not uncommon. He had a wife and four children. There had been little or no food in his house for a couple of days and his children were ill from the poor living conditions in the heatless, drafty building in which they lived. There was running water only a couple hours a day and often it wasn't clean. But even boiling water had become difficult since electricity was only available for a few hours and usually at random times. It was very hard trying to keep even the smallest supply of sterilized water to cook enough food (if it was available) for the rest of the week. Everyone standing in line was in a similar situation. Sympathy and human kindness were now replaced with contempt and anger. How had all of this started?

Yorel so vividly remembered the woods and streams, the mountains and prairies around Moscow, Idaho. In fact, his parents had immigrated to these United States from another Moscow to escape from the very conditions in which Yorel was living right now. What had happened to the American dream?

"I guess," Yorel thought, "we sold it for another dream. We reached for the carrot that the State had dangled in front of us. We believed that they could provide for all of our needs. We could trade self-indulgent, individual rights for Utopia." "Funny," Yorel thought, "throughout history men have traded off their individual liberty for utopia and every time this has been the result."

An aching sense of foreboding formed a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach. The reality of the finality and irreversibility of America's mistake settled like a death notice over Yorel − and he knew that all was lost and that the gray prison which had replaced his parent's beautiful America was permanent. The sense of dread and feeling of hopelessness was now a life sentence, and what was worse − his children now shared that life sentence, as would future generations.

History teaches us that man learns nothing from history. − Hegel

I'm an American. I still believe in American exceptionalism, but perhaps now more than ever, I have come to understand that exceptionalism is not a result of merit ... but grace. I came to that conclusion after honestly asking myself: Are we smarter than the Romans, who built a republic thousands of years ahead of us; more brilliant than the Germans, from whom we developed our rocket and space technology; better than the Brits, who were one of the largest empires ever built, or more tenacious than the Russians, who stopped the Germans in WW II? I doubt it.

So, what made America exceptional? Certainly, at the time of the revolution it was not our military or financial prowess. Exceptionalism did not rest in the hands of the Continental Congress, who were as feckless as any deliberative body ever assembled. The case could be made that Washington was exceptional, yet he lost battle after battle, almost to the point of mutiny among his men and top generals.

What, then, was that spark that set this nation apart from all others on earth? Sure, we have an abundance of natural resources: land, warm water ports, and so much more; still, I believe, to accurately define exceptionalism, one must look to the words of the Declaration of independence.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

There it is. It is this one thing that defines American exceptionalism. Not our defense of life, although it is principle to our continued existence as a nation; nor is it liberty, without which life has very little savor; nor is it happiness, which is found both in the pursuit of happiness as well as in the attainment. And, based upon what, did our founders cleave to the notion that any of these three were attainable? Certainly not from their experience in England or Europe.

It was because of their acknowledgement, understanding and embrace of the fact that these three diamonds of human enrichment did not exist because of their mere declaration or even recognition, but because there is a Creator, who from all eternity decreed it so, and that because of the immutability of this law, that all men are entitled to equality. But that equality is not based upon a humanistic understanding of social justice, nor in power, ability, wealth, or even status, but equal under law, eternal moral law, and because the eternal law of right and wrong applies equally to all, and is equally protective of all, there are no exceptions or limitations based upon age, viability, mental status or parentage.

All humanity, then, is equally protected under law: male, female, Jew and gentile. Law is law and can no more be modified than the laws of natural science. Gravity is a force that is unimpeachable. It applies to all equally. The rich cannot be given more to lessen the load of the poor, nor can the burden of the poor be increased to attenuate or grant ease to the rich.

And because eternal law is super-unimpeachable, so much more do the principles apply. Therefore, when the Creator endowed us with certain unalienable rights, they are indeed un a lien able. That is, unable to have an encumbrance − or lien − placed upon them.

When the cornerstone of our Republic is the granite of eternal law, that immovable law is the guarantee of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That law both defines, and is, the bulwark of our Republic. It is our anchorage and cornerstone, set upon an eternal bedrock, which alone insures the efficacy of the tripartite fruit of our American Exceptionalism, namely: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

If, then, we remove from the mix the Creator and His precepts from the Unanimous Declaration, can the closing statement still be reasonably expected to apply? "And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor." If we demand that Divinity be chased from the public discourse, eliminated from the government, an anathema to education, can we reasonably expect the protection of Divine Providence? Obviously not. Nor can we expect to see the fruit of American Exceptionalism, which is ensconced in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to be long preserved either.

Devine writ tells us that sin has consequences and that punishment falls even to the third and fourth generation of those children of disobedience. Guess what America ... we are between the third and fourth generation since the progressives began to dismantle the Biblical understanding of our Republic and American Exceptionalism. Our sin has found us out. And after three or four generations of rebuke, if there is no repentance, comes final judgment.

How much more evidence is required for us to see that the hand of rebuke is becoming the fire of judgment? As the flame of American Exceptionalism flickers in the growing darkness of our national sin, it is more than time to lay again the foundations of our greatness and the understanding that exceptionalism was not a result of our dominance of world matters; but rather, a result of our submission to the will of the Almighty.

Despite our unworthiness, and because of His grace, we walked in exceptional faith in the true and living God and His precepts and produced exceptional results in this exceptional place. But all of that was to be expected because of immutable law found in Deuteronomy 30, which sets before us still this choice:

16: In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 19: I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.

So, what shall it be: life and blessing − or − death and cursing? Recent elections have barely stemmed the legislative tide against us; debt is still mounting, and the Chinese are now working with international financiers (like Edmund de Rothschild, George Soros, and Maurice Strong) to undermine our economy and destroy the dollar, just as they have in other currencies around the world.

Mr. Obama and many of our senators and congressmen are walking in lock step with them. Even the Republicans, who vowed to work on our behalf, have sold us out already with Senate Bill S.510, which pledged our food and our sovereignty to the United Nations. (See my article S.510 Democrats Admit Senate is "Rigged" As They Vote: Sedition or Treason - You Decide!) We have proven that politics alone cannot restore the republic. This movement, my friends, must be a spiritual movement that results in political action. This is a time when preachers need to gird themselves for battle and become a part of the black robe brigade and risk all − including their damnable 501(c)3 status − standing firm for renewed righteousness. This is the time when patriots need to sacrifice to warn the nation by whatever mass media available that eminent disaster is fast approaching. We need to cry out, "Freedom!" and shout the warning, with every voice in chorus, from the highest mountain to the lowest valley. We need to personally pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor, and be willing to take those actions necessary to remove and recall from office those who act treasonously or with sedition against their countrymen.

There is no longer time for niceties and finesse. We need to storm the courts, storm the capitals in every state, and demand enforcement of the 9th and 10th amendments to the U.S. Constitution. We need to act with audacity ... as if your life, liberty, and your right to exist, let alone your right to pursue happiness, depends upon it ... because it does.

unfortunately we find ourselves in a tough position right now. The Dems hold large majorities in both houses of congress during this lame duck session. We are in the battle of the Alamo until January. The Dems are in angry denial. They continue to govern against the will of the people and believe that big government is the answer and not the free markets. The battle amounts to this. Who better to spend our money? Washington DC or us. Any way you slice it , this Obama tax compromise is a bad deal. The Dems are playing the old class warfare game. If they really had the best interest of the middle class in mind they would cut taxes on the job producers and then the middle class would get hired in large numbers instead of sitting on the couch collecting unemployment. They continue to load up this tax compromise with goodies which increases our debt and further burdens the taxpayers. When will the Republicans stand up and say enough is enough. Where is our leadership. We are not hearing anything from them! I am willing to go along with an extension of the current rates for two years knowing that our Repub controlled house can cut them further or make them permanent when they expire again . We must stand up and reject the Dems pork. Here in lies our problem . If the compromise fails everyones taxes go up in January and the economy will tank further. If we vote for the bill we look like big government Dems increasing the size and reach of government. We must win this PR battle. Write and or call your elected officials today!! Say yes to an extension of the current rates and no to the pork. Lets win one for America!!! Lets hold the Dems responsible for a rotten economy and then wipe them out in 2012.

From his Senate Conservatives Fund, Senator Jim DeMint wrote a detailed letter about the so-called 'compromise' to extend the Bush era tax rates. On the one side, it's Democrats as usual with their spend addiction and committed re-distribuion of wealth at the expense of our children and grandchildren, but the other side is the most disturbing of all - Republicans have not seen the error of their ways.

OBAMA'S "SWINDLE OF THE YEAR"
Obama won the great tax-cut showdown of 2010. This is a defeat? http://bit.ly/ggPOcB
