Of course, the theory is that many of us will be drafted upward to state and even RNC service where we can exert real influence and finally have the party we desire.
But in the next few days and weeks, there is an opportunity in many states to bypass that local level and acquire a seat directly on your state party committee.
Many state committees have a bylaw that allows candidates (even in UNsuccessful races) to make one or several appointments to their state party committee. If you worked on one of these campaigns, you are certainly in a position to request one of those appointments.
Those appointments certainly won't go to people who do not ask for them!
Podesta recommends bypassing and ignoring Congress and the American people completely. He suggests that Obama enact a far-left agenda through executive action via executive orders; rulemaking through executive branch administrative agencies; agency management; convening and creating public-private partnerships; commanding the armed forces; and diplomacy
"The ability of President Obama to accomplish important change through these powers should not be underestimated," Podesta stressed. "Congressional deadlock does not mean the federal government stands still."
Progressive-Marxist Think Tank
Advises Rule by Presidential-Edict as
Clinton Staff-Chief Podesta Eggs Obama On
Don’t be surprised if Barack Obama and his 40+ “czars” begin operating more like they ruled an American dictatorship than a republic, because that’s precisely the advice President Obama has received from numerous “prestigious” leftwing groups online and elsewhere. Perhaps the most well-known of these leftwing “brain”-trusts (most of them funded by “Spooky-Dude” George Soros), the Center for American Progress (CAP) tops the list for most prestigious among left-wingers across the globe as well as within our own borders. Based in Washington, D.C., CAP is led by Bill Clinton’s former Marxist Chief of Staff John Podesta. Predictably, Podesta has on three recent occasions called upon Obama to totally circumvent Congress once the Republican Party takes control the House of Representatives beginning January, 2011.
The Obama administration (which has already made a policy of ignoring the vast majority of the American people regarding a) Obamacare b) the Near-ground-zero mosque c) border control d) cap and trade e) auto bailouts f) bank bailouts g)Wall Street bailouts g) the Obama stimulus package h) treatment of Israel i) bi-partisanship j) openness and accountability of the administration’s dealings and k) response to the Arizona Law dealing with Illegal aliens) now appears ready to talk bi-partisanship and a move toward the center out of one side of its mouth while ratcheting up the double-dealing on the other side. Complete disregard of Congress is nothing new for the administration either. When it became apparent last year that the votes to pass cap and trade legislation were nowhere to be found in the senate (which the Democrats controlled at that time 60-40); Obama ordered the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to force Cap and trade upon the nation by regulatory process. The EPA came out within weeks with an announcement that carbon dioxide was a toxic emission which henceforth they would start regulating.
In that instance, the EPA was met immediately with lawsuits pointing out that the agency was operating in opposition to its own charter. EPA regulations require that such “findings” must be based upon legitimately conducted studies by the EPA itself and could NOT reference other studies such as the bogus “global warming” studies conducted by the infamous Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University in England which have been totally discredited by the “Climate Gate” e-mail leaks and by other scandalous revelations.
The ultra-left Mr. Podesta openly suggested President Obama ignore Congress and the American people altogether by using executive action to enact an agenda even more leftist than what Pelosi and Reid passed for him in 2009 and 2010. Among Podesta’s recommendations of important accomplishments to achieve by sidestepping the Republican-controlled house in 2011 in the monthly report created by Podesta and his senior staff at CAP entitled “The Power of the President: Recommendations to Advance Progressive Change” are:
Bypassing and ignoring Congress and the American people completely. He suggests that Obama enact a far-left agenda through executive action via executive orders; rulemaking through executive branch administrative agencies; agency management; convening and creating public-private partnerships; commanding the armed forces; and diplomacy. "The ability of President Obama to accomplish important change through these powers should not be underestimated," Podesta stressed. "Congressional deadlock does not mean the federal government stands still."
The astute reader has already picked up on several key words and phrases, no doubt?
#1 Podesta talked straightforwardly about “recommendations to advance PROGRESSIVE change.” Progressives (neo-Marxists like Podesta who talk openly about “progressing” beyond the outdated and ill-conceived U.S. Constitution and the necessity to “progress” toward their concept of an earthly Utopia) have been greatly emboldened since the election of Barack Obama are more open about their agenda than at any time in U.S. history. At the October 28 Colbert-Stewart gathering on the mall in Washington, D.C., for example, Communist Party members brazenly carried signs and bragged about themselves as “proud communists” something utterly unprecedented in Rajjpuut’s experience of American politics.
#2 Podesta talks about using the Armed Forces . . . nothing more dictatorial could be suggested especially since Mr. Obama has been training an “elite” group of soldiers to operate at his discretion “in riot-control and instances of civil unrest.”
#3 Podesta hints at the power of government to create leftist change enhanced after “convening and creating public-private partnerships.” That is Unions and the Communist Party and student-radicals taking to the streets. At the very least it would give Obama a reason to institute martial law and mobilize his special Obama-troops (see #2 above).
#4 Clearly Podesta is suggesting violating the Constitutionally- ordained system of checks and balances and elevating himself above the law created by our Founding Fathers . . . making himself more an emperor than a president controlling the executive branch in a triad of balanced power. The Imperial Obama White House will soon be upon us . . . .
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
Now is definitely the time to let every congressperson and senator type person know beyond a shadow of doubt that if they support the Dream Act they are out of a job the next time they stand for election.
I read one article with a photo. The photo showed a Hispanic lady holding a sign that read: " Borders are lines drawn by Imperialist Racists!" BS! Borders are internationally recognized territorial limits. They are not lines on a map. They are as real as a brick wall. Crossing them without an invitation should be grounds for expulsion ... immediately, no review, no delays while we discuss the merits of their presence. Repeat offenders should be escalated to a felony status and imprisoned or better yet given forced, supervised, community service (chain gangs without the chains). Since our prisons are already 30-35 percent illegal population, imprisonment is no deterrent. Let them clean up highways or national parks. Let them work on government projects. Then when their sentence is fulfilled, expel them ... immediately.
Those on the side of the illegals who call for civil disobedience should also be charged as political subversives. They too should face criminal penalties. They are in fact inciting to riot. This is still a crime in most states. Enforce the damn laws.
And finally, it is far past time to revisit H.R. 1940, the "Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007". Let's put to rest the question of babies born to illegal immigrant parents. Actually, the Constitution itself makes the case. Children must be born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States before they can claim birthright citizenship. International law assumes the baby to be a citizen of the same country as the parents. If one or both parents are not citizens and hence not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, the child has no birthright claim. Period.
Let's get our heads out of the sand and stop the economic blood loss that illegal immigration represents. And please don't assault my intelligence with the old BS about the illegals contributing more that they take. I don't buy it for one millisecond. They are by definition, criminals. Treat them as such.
The religions of Abraham began in a harsh land with harsh laws. Result, the Taliban. All who crossed this harsh land were seen as fair game. Islam has Allah, a pagan god, one of several Islam adopted and made almighty. From Islam came infidels—non-believers—the enemy. Same as dictators, religion must have an enemy. Islam has Paradise. Fundamentalist Muslims, with little in life to be happy about, believe that killing themselves while they kill the enemy gets them to Paradise. Well, that’s one way to end your woes, in the service of your brothers, bonded by a religion. We can’t know why Allah has ordered this, but you will have to admit it is convenient and effective to cheapen life in order have it your way. Apparently, Allah made Muslims his exclusive creation. For sure, Allah doesn’t give his creation reason and logic. The rest of us, we infidels, I assume were created by a god who gives his creation reason and logic.
The United States, the Great Satin to fundamentalist Muslims, founded on Judeo-Christian principles, began with slaves. Black Africans, seen as inferior beings, were seen by Christians as incapable of taking care of their own needs. And likewise, Indians, America, conquering the original Americans, took their lands, so no, Jews and Christians were not created with reason and logic either.
Little by little, America’s illogical Jews and Christians, for the good of all, have done away with the Constitution. Our present Christian President finds it faulted. Mysteriously, when I read it I felt that voices of the past were speaking to me, encouraging me to fight for my rights. Miraculously, my life started getting better, and today, if it could be any better I don’t know how.
By following the principles set forth in the Constitution, I got on my path of destiny. I didn’t consult anyone or pray to a god I never personally knew. I looked within for my answers and they came to me. What else but reason and logic? I had a bigger than life calling.
Can you believe this? In Webster’s College Dictionary, under anarchy, I read, “theory that regards 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.” This is anarchy? Reason and logic is viewed as a form of anarchy? My reason and logic—include the Constitution—is tantamount to anarchy.
Religion goes on faith in the supernatural, something that is not real. I see the Constitution as being backed by Higher Law; that is, law meant for humans; excuse me, humans created with reason and logic. When I read the scriptures, it is not with any religious view in mind but with reason and logic. I give myself unlimited conscious awareness, apparently, more than most. I don’t see my observations being repeated.
My observations come as a result of my keeping up with the latest scientific understanding of the universe. My reason and logic is backed with scientific proof. The universe is nothing like the dumbed down masses think it is. Who was Jesus speaking to when he said, “give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you?”
There is a groundswell of reason and logic building. It will grow until it becomes greater than the resistance. It will strike like a bolt of lightning. The faithful will be lost in a world they don’t know.
Do you like him any better now?
No?
Me neither.........

Thomas Jefferson knew what he was talking about because he-himself studied the previous failed attempts at government.
He understood actual history, the nature of God, his laws and the nature of man.
That happens to be waaay more than what most understand today. Jefferson really knew his stuff.
A voice from the past to lead us in the future:
John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white House for a group of the brightest minds inthe nation at that time. He made this statement: "This is perhaps theassembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in theWhite House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe .
Thomas Jefferson
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Thomas Jefferson
It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent thegovernment from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense oftaking care of them.
Thomas Jefferson
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves
against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson said in
1802:
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies..
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation,then by
deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property -until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
I wish we could get this out to everyone!!!
I'm doing my part. Please do yours…

Now 39 dem. congressmen want Barry Soertoro to pardon a spy. The gist was that Pollard had spied for a “friendly country” and that the United States “should have” made available whatever was needed to help Israel what a load eh... Go here and see who supports this pardon and vote these Isreal first folks out. http://www.darkpolitricks.com/2010/11/congressional-request-for-super-spy-jonathan-pollard-pardon-another-example-of-israel-first/ So Pete King this guy spies for isreal , Isreal gives the Docs to Russia some friends eh. Look I ain't anti-semetic but facts are facts so don't be upset when you read for yourself in their own words and deeds. We need to get rid of AIPAC and all the lobbying groups in washington, which makes out politicians the best that money can buy. Here are some links for your perusal get your nose out of the boob tube and go read the facts not the media spin and lies... We need politicians that support America 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
Here are a few quotes...
“We, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it.” (Statement of Ariel Sharon, formerprime minister of Israel, Oct. 3, 2001.)
"Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no one has the rightto put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial"

Bob,
Nice going guys and dolls. The Tea Party now ties Obama. Now that Republicans have won control of the House, the idea is being put out that Obama can ignore Congress and rule by executive order. That brought a guffaw out of me. Here are some items that are not being discussed.
For a century, the American people have been reeducated to depend on government, like it or not. Through federal income tax, which began taxing only the richest of the rich, grew to tax all income producers—to become a Ponzi scheme—to fraudulently separate workers from their resources for redistribution. Federal income tax has as its basis control. The illusion behind government control that responsible leaders know better than the individual what is good for all totally misses the point. We are individuals, not parts of a hive.
Leftist politicians are putting out hogwash. There is no difference in a greedy self-serving capitalist and a greedy self-serving politician, except for the fact that the capitalist doesn’t make the law and see that it is enforced; leftist politicians do. History gives us not one example of a “responsible leader” in control being beneficial to society. In fact, history gives us multiple examples of free enterprise bringing great benefits to society. A thousand years back, while Europe was under the tyranny of the Holy Roman Catholic Empire, China was enjoying free enterprise and prosperity. What comes around goes around.
The creator of all things, in creating man, made him capable of being more consciously aware than any other life form on the planet, but like all life, conscious of self-survival. Self-survival is innate. It doesn’t reason; it is animal. Man reasons for his survival. We are the dominant life form. Uncontrolled power turns man into an animal, and those who follow jumping through hoops—for one example, Hitler and Nazi Germany, for another, America’s current leftist leadership and following.
Great men, like big fish feeding on little fish, feed their egos on little people. Knowing this about the nature of man, America’s Founding Fathers held that the Creator made all men equal, and with God-given rights that could not be taken without the permission of the holder of said rights. Individuals have a right to their bodies. If they don’t choose to be patted down before flying, the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment says they don’t have to give a government agent permission to grope them. But might makes right. “The law” says you get fined $11,000 for not giving permission.
The Constitution was written to avoid this we now experience. But, alas, the writers of the Constitution, in order to form a more secure union of states, felt that they had to allow the South to own slaves, exactly the principle behind the current federal pat down. It’s an expedience for a more worthy case, like owning slaves. Take your choice: Be a slave or refuse to be patted down and face the consequences. The Obama Administration is testing you. Surely, we are smart enough to outfox Obama. The guy is in La La Land. Off the top of my head, I can think of half a dozen ways to embarrass Obama. There is strength in numbers and we’ve got the numbers to beat Obama.
President Obama says our Constitution is flawed. He is clearly a one-world socialist. He and his kind have a vision of a better world, and wouldn’t you know, by putting themselves in control.
How do you deal with empowered egomaniacs? The thing we must understand about freedom is that it is God-given. I refer you to what Jesus said, “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. . .But seek ye first the kingdom of God.” The kingdom of God is to be distinguished from the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of God is universal—not in a place. Heaven is the time-space universe; everything has its place. Consciousness is not in a place, but essential. Nothing would exist without it. We each exist in a state of consciousness, as limited by us. God doesn’t limit us. Speaking for myself, I chose the God-state over the time-space consortium that limited men see a long time ago.
I’ve been tweaking authority’s nose ever since I found God. I win. Authority loses. Glenn Beck, formerly an alcoholic loser, found God and he is running rings around Obama. Beck is winning minds; Obama attempts to force us to submit to his B.S., and isn’t doing too well.
Listen to me and Beck. I submit that my life is far better than those depending on Obama. If we would only realize the power we individually possess, executive power or whatever, Obama and company would not have the chance of a snowball in hell.
Every time the matter of extending Bush’s personal tax breaks on all Americans and extending the “death taxes” and keeping business taxes low . . . every time these matters are mentioned, the progressive Democrats in power in the House, Senate and Oval Office hit us with some version of the following lies and their corollaries. For example:
#1 Bush’s economic policies created (via the Wall Street mess) our present financial malaise . . . we need to go in another direction.
#2 Republicans have made a big deal out of rising deficits and rising national debt and yet they’re intent on dropping taxes on millionaires that would add $700 Billion to the deficit.
#3 Conservatives in general and Republicans, in particular, and the free market have failed us once again and government had to save the day . . . so why give them another chance to screw us up?
#4 Those Bush tax cuts have been around for nearly a decade and they didn’t do any good, quite the contrary.#5 They put our car into the ditch and yet they want the keys returned; we’d be foolish to give them back because they don’t know how to drive.
We will deal with these lies shortly, explaining why they are false and what the actual truth is . . . for now it’s important to realize that once a lie or other misperception has been disseminated by political liars, it tends to take hold (and sometimes take on a life of its own) unless it’s immediately challenged and proven false. The longer it goes unchallenged, the more entrenched the lie** becomes.
Both Goebbels and Hitler gave credit to people like Walter Winchell, Edward Bernays, and George Creel; and especially to America’s Wilson administration for creating the science of propaganda which the Nazis would later use to such powerful effect. Even as early as 1924, Hitler, in Mein Kampf, mentioned the power of the “Big Lie” to completely dominate political debate.
Isn’t it finally time we got to the full truth?
How did it start, this domination of lies over truth in Americans’ understanding of the national political debate? The end game for all propaganda is to change the historical record into something favorable to your side and to control public opinion. Today’s progressives (the name “progressive” was dropped after Woodrow Wilson left office and the label “liberal” remained the self-definition of choice for the leftist politicians for roughly 86 years thereafter) would have Americans believe that they, the progressives, have invented and created America’s greatness over the objections of more fiscally-conservative and Constitutionally-conservative Americans. Literally, they would have you believe that they dragged the country kicking and screaming into the modern era.
Progressives would also claim that they were the ones advocating racial equality all along. The Democratic Party was the party of slavery in the Pre-Civil War days and the party of Jim Crow in the South. Wilson himself was a racist. He’s the one who stopped Blacks being hired by the federal government in Washington, D.C.; and even as president of Princeton University did everything in his power to discourage Black attendance there. The premier of D.W. Griffith’s racist masterpiece “Birth of a Nation” took place in the White House with Wilson presiding over the ceremonious affair. Wilson personally authored a dramatically revisionist interpretation of American history and severe criticism of the Constitution (The New Freedom) calling for progressivism to save the country. Progressives (those who believe, “we must ‘progress’ beyond the outdated and ill-conceived U.S. Constitution” and who emphasize making ‘progress’ toward bringing about some version of earthly Utopia) have reaffirmed the Wilson era name for themselves today and shown much more openness in their connection to socialism and even Marxism, more on that later . . . for now let’s address those five Big Lies.
Big Lie #1 “Bush’s economic policies created (via the Wall Street mess) our present financial malaise . . . we need to go in another direction.” Talking about the “Wall Street Mess” is like talking about the top three feet of the huge iceberg that the Titanic ran into and claiming that all the damage was done by that top yard of snow. What did cause 98% of the damage to America’s economy in 2007 and beyond? In 1975 the United States had a home-loan system almost totally run by the private sector. Ownership of homes by private citizens averaged over 64% we were the envy of the world. At that time only one in every 404 loans was offered at 3% down payment or less (usually to former military officers attending college) 0.24% of all home mortgages. Mortgage default was almost unknown. In 1977, President Jimmy Carter and his progressive Democrats controlling both chambers of Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA ’77) to fix a situation that was NOT broken. The impetus of the new law was to force mortgage lenders to make bad loans. The percentage of potentially risky home loans in the 28 years following CRA ’77 rose by 13,800% and to make the situation worse 1) in 2005, 34% of all home loans were granted at 3% down payment or less and many of them were granted at an unheard of 0% down payment while 2) ACORN and others pushing for these loans after Bill Clinton’s 1998’s steroid version expansion of CRA ’77 found it as easy to move poor people without credit into $400,000-$500,000 homes as it had been to move more qualified poor people into $60,000 homes in the 1980s. In other words, 98% of the financial meltdown was caused by government interference in the mortgage markets created by progressive politicians giving us the sub-prime lending crisis.
As far as the “Wall Street Debacle” documented by The Big Short author Michael Lewis and others . . . yes, that was created by Wall Street greed exploiting the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank which had allowed “derivative” investments to be sold. Fed Chief Alan Greenspan once hailed derivatives as “the savior of the financial markets, practically guaranteeing that financial collapses are impossible. The creator of the Federal Reserve and the inflation that has dominated American policies over the last century (the dollar today is worth nine pennies compared to the dollar of 100 years ago): President Woodrow Wilson, who also gave us the income tax and government propaganda. So let’s give Wall Street greed 0.5% of the blame; Alan Greenspan 0.5% of the blame and progressive politicians 98% + 1% = 99% of the guilt. Nevertheless, they have enthusiastically been blaming everyone but themselves.
Big Lie #2 says, “Republicans have made a big deal out of rising deficits and rising national debt and yet they’re intent on dropping taxes on millionaires that would add $700 Billion to the deficit.” First note that the deficit mentioned is $700 Billion over ten years . . . unsaid is that the combined policies of Nancy Pelosi over four years and Barack Obama over two years have swelled the national debt by roughly $5 Trillion, that is seven times the $700 Billion mention in far less time with almost no Republican help. Secondly, the Keynesian economists in the White House are infamous for pie-in-the-sky arithmetic when projecting the effects of their ruinous policies but using zero-sum ideas to evaluate conservative ideas. In this case, there is no mention of the probable GREAT DEPRESSION #2 that their tax hike on the small business community will create (the top 2% of the tax-paying populace creates 70% of all new jobs); or of the stimulus to job creation and economic recovery that will swell the government’s tax coffers via extension of the Bush cuts to those top 2%. And, of course, there are also all those bad loans forced upon mortgage lenders by CRA ’77 (and all the extensions to it over the last 33 years) providing a huge drag on the economy and on government revenues also contributing to the deficits.
As for Big Lie #3 which says “Conservatives in general and Republicans, in particular, and the free market have failed us once again and government had to save the day, again . . . so why give them another chance to screw us up?” This is specifically the Barney Frank lie repeated early and often while he assured us that our mortgage system in general and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in particular were on completely sound footing. 1) First of all, Barney Frank and folks like Chris Dodd totally failed in their key oversight roles; they failed to see the problem coming which their policies had created and exacerbated. And let’s emphasize the fact that the problem was not subtle and hidden from view. James Stack of Investech.com first mentioned the sub-prime lending crisis in November, 2003 and declared that the economy was in a very vulnerable state accompanying his “Housing Industry Bubble Chart” for an unheard of five consecutive years on the website. 2) George W. Bush and his administration brought the matter to the country’s attention in January, 2005, fourteen months later. Bush called for new legislation wiping out the worst aspects of CRA ’77 legislation and the expansions that followed (four by Bill Clinton – three legislatively in ’98 with two others in ’95; and a wide-sweeping regulatory expansion in 1993) that had created the sub-prime lending crisis. Bush’s efforts failed but he would speak to Congress on eighteen more occasions to emphasize the problems that the sub-prime lending expansion had brought to the country. However, numerous savage refutations by Frank and Dodd and the entire Democratic leadership kept future attempts from bearing fruit. Finally in July, 2007, thirty months after Bush first brought the matter to Congress’s attention, a very late, very weak and very limited version of Bush’s January, 2005 effort was passed.
Of course it proved way too little, way too late and the meltdown began in October, 2007. However, Bush’s effort was credited and praised in August, 2010, by Obama Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner with preventing a serious plunge in home prices and a worse and absolutely devastating recession.
Remember, Barney Frank said, “. . . the free markets and Wall Street got us into trouble, again, and the government had to come to their rescue, again . . .” the facts show however that the truth instead is that the economy was weakened devastatingly because of CRA’77’s effect over thirty years and that as early as 2005 34% of all mortgage lending were potentially suspect forced loans legislated upon lenders and the ensuing bubble in home prices; and the ensuing bubble in housing industry stocks proved to be full of hot air and nothing else as everything collapsed.
Big Lie #4 says that the Bush tax cuts have been around for nearly a decade and rather than helping out, they sabotaged us and helped bring about our present financial crisis. The truth about this lie will be discussed as part of the discussion of Big Lie #5. For now, the general truth is that the tax cuts did a helluva lot of good, but you can’t feel secure in believing that without a lot of background facts. Let’s get to it!
Big Lie #5 says, “They (conservatives and Republicans and the free markets) put our car (the American economy) into the ditch (deep recession) and yet now they want the keys returned, we’d be foolish to give them back because they don’t know how to drive.” 1) The progressive Democrats don’t decide who “gets the keys and runs the country,” the American voters do and the voters instinctively know things are not exactly as the Democratic Party claims they are . . . and the recent ringing rejection of the policies of Obama and the Democratically-controlled House and Senate in this November’s elections confirmed their distrust . . . but we can do much better than relying on “instinct” 2) We’ve already shown that 98% of the problem can be attributed directly to 30+ years of serious big government interference boondoggling. 3) We’ve also shown that in January, 2005 Bush called for undoing the poisonous CRA ’77 laws and then continued to call for it almost 20 times until a weak anti-CRA law was passed. The progressive Democrats not only created and exacerbated the problem; they also provided thirty months of obstruction to fixing the problem and their obstruction also resulted in a weaker and later law to fight the problem.
In short: the truths are these: A) Big Lie #4 is corrected by saying that in all likelihood the Bush Tax Cuts fueled the economy and made the CRA problem much less serious than it other wise would be and B) Big Lie #5 is corrected with this stunning statement:
George W. Bush saw the progressive Democrats, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and especially ACORN pushing the car (the economy) toward a 500-foot ditch and jumped into the front seat grabbing the wheel and slamming on the brakes to guide the car into the nearest friendly-looking ditch.
That italicized statement is so outrageous that we must in decency provide more research evidence to back it up: it’s a bit of a long story but we’ll seek to boil it down for you . . . but first, let’s really get outrageous, let’s add a single italicized word to that statement . . . the word “deliberately” so now the statement reads this far more outrageous way:
George W. Bush saw the progressive Democrats, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and especially ACORN DELIBERATELY pushing the car (the economy) toward a 500-foot ditch and jumped into the front seat grabbing the wheel and slamming on the brakes to guide the car into the nearest friendly-looking ditch.
Can that be proven? YES, YES, YES! Here are the facts . . . .
In 1975, the State of New York just missed going bankrupt; New York City, however, was bankrupt and had to be bailed out by the federal government. What was the cause of their fiscal debacle? Eight million new recipients were added to the welfare rolls between 1968 and 1975 by the DELIBERATELY-planned actions of Richard Cloward, Frances Piven and George Wiley. There’s that word “DELIBERATELY” once again. It all began with the publication of an article by the Columbia University (NYC) progressive professors Cloward and Piven titled The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty in the May 2, 1966 edition of the leftist publication “The Nation” which came to be known as “Cloward-Piven Strategy.” Their idea: use Alinsky tactics (named after self-described Neo-Marxist Chicago community organizer Saul Alinsky author of Rules for Radicals) to overload the welfare rolls, creating a fiscal crisis and forcing (they thought) the Democratic Party to pass a GNI (guaranteed national income) in keeping with president Lyndon Johnsons “War on Poverty.” How were those new welfare recipients created? Browbeating tactics, demonstrations and outright refusal to stand up to them by the nation’s social workers . . . courtesy of the National Welfare RIGHTS Organization run by Wiley in concert with Cloward and Piven. The threesome did not get their GNI but nevertheless bragged publicly and in writing about their great “success” after the NYC bankruptcy. Cloward and Piven called upon their supporters to move their Alinsky techniques into the areas of voter registration and housing for the future. Wade Rathke, a Wiley lieutenant sent to Arkansas to run that state’s NWRO efforts in 1970, was already in place.
The future was NOT far off. The Carter administration and progressives passed CRA law and in that same year, 1977, the Arkansas Community Organization for Reform Now (ACORN) was created. We could write whole encyclopedia about ACORN’s fraudulent voter registration techniques but we’ll only mention that the supposedly non-partisan group gathered a huge number of voter registration forms in 1978 and destroyed all those belonging to would-be Republican voters. The positioning of Rathke was truly fortuitous. In 1976, Arkansas elected a 30-year old up-and-comer as their Lieutenant Governor and it was his campaign for Governor in 1978 that the fraudulent ACORN efforts benefitted. Bill Clinton was elected to the Arkansas Governorship 12 of the next 14 years and would become the first ACORN president in 1992. Meanwhile ACORN had expanded across the nation and its acronym now stood for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now but still claiming non-partisanship and still into voter fraud as well as housing. Thanks almost entirely to ACORN’s brow-beating and shake-down tactics in Arkansas, nationwide the percentage of suspect loans doubled between 1975 and 1985 to a still reasonable 0.51%.
ACORN had delivered for Bill Clinton and now as President he showed himself willing to repay in kind. 1) In his very first year he unleashed the ACORN beast. In an infamous photo found all over the internet, Clinton signs the Motor Voter Act with Cloward and Piven standing directly behind him during the ceremony. 2) Unable to get CRA legislation, Clinton uses Presidential directive to get widespread regulatory expansion for CRA ’77. Then in 1995, Clinton out-maneuvered Newt Gingrich into allowing two minor expansions of the CRA ’77 law. By now ACORN is national and pushing for bad loans all across the country. By the end of 1995, 14% of all home loans in America are suspect and the housing bubble and housing industry bubble are fully underway.
In 1998, Clinton delivered for ACORN once again. The ’98 expansion of CRA laws put the whole ugly system on steroids. ACORN from now on will find it EASIER to get poor people with zilch credit scores into $400,000-$500,000 homes than they’d faced getting better qualified individuals into homes costing 80% less just a decade earlier. The upshot? Home lenders were forced by their government to make knowingly disastrous loans to people . . . .
a) without jobs
b) with poor credit ratings
c) without even a documented rental history
d) with only food stamps as “income”
e) with lifelong histories on Welfare
f) and even to illegal aliens
So now by 2005, 34% of all home loans were suspect loans and the debacle was clearly underway. One little detail you’ll appreciate: Barack Obama was a Chicago community organizer who worked parts of 1994-1996 as an ACORN lawyer shaking down banks and other mortgage lenders to force them to make bad loans. Obama’s signature skill was avoiding the courtroom and not only securing the home loans in question, but also was getting the lenders to make donations directly to ACORN. So let’s let you, the reader consider that word we’ve used twice: “DELIBERATELY” . . . .
So let us all contemplate the impact of those five Big Lies on our nation. On Election Day a message was sent. However, we still have the architects of the disaster running the show: Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and Barney Frank are still bigwigs in Congress. Chris Dodd was replaced by his clone Richard Blumenthal. And the 80% progressive control of the House Democratic caucus before the election now stands at 90% control by the progressive Democrats even though as a Party they lost 65 seats in the House and six seats in the senate. The people who DELIBERATELY set out to undermine our great nation are still in control of our most powerful political party and still out to “fundamentally transform” and destroy America as we know it. Vigilance and continued grassroots action by an informed and angered citizenry is the only hope. Indeed, if the contents of this article were generally known by 80% of the populace, it's hard to imagine progressive action being regarded as benignly and tolerantly as it now is . . . .

I've reproduced much of that internet article here:
Inspired by the August 1965 riots in the black district of Watts in Los Angeles (which erupted after police had used batons to subdue a black man suspected of drunk driving), activists were abuzz over the so-called "crisis strategy" or "Cloward-Piven Strategy," as it came to be called. Many were eager to put it into effect.
In their 1966 article, "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty" (which sold an unheard of 30,000 reprints) Cloward and Piven charged that the ruling classes used welfare to weaken the poor; and that by providing a social safety net, the rich doused the fires of rebellion. Poor people can advance only when "the rest of society is afraid of them," Cloward told The New York Times on September 27, 1970. Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation; poor people would rise in revolt; only then would "the rest of society" accept their demands.
The key to sparking this rebellion would be to expose the inadequacy of the welfare state. Cloward-Piven’s early promoters cited radical organizer Saul Alinsky as their inspiration. "Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules," Alinsky wrote in his 1972 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judaeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system’s failure to "live up" to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one.
The authors noted that the number of Americans subsisting on welfare — about 8 million, at the time — probably represented less than half the number who were technically eligible for full benefits. They proposed a "massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls." Cloward and Piven calculated that persuading even a fraction of potential welfare recipients to demand their entitlements would bankrupt the system. The result, they predicted, would be "a profound financial and political crisis" that would unleash "powerful forces … for major economic reform at the national level." They would in eight years double the number on welfare via the NWRO’s bullying tactics.
Their article called for "cadres of aggressive organizers" to use "demonstrations to create a climate of militancy." Intimidated by threats of black violence, politicians would appeal to the federal government for help. Carefully orchestrated media campaigns, carried out by friendly, leftwing journalists, would float the idea of "a federal program of income redistribution," in the form of a guaranteed living income for all — working and non-working people alike. Local officials would clutch at this idea like drowning men to a lifeline. They would apply pressure on Washington to implement it. With every major city erupting into chaos, Washington would have to act. This was an example of what are commonly called Trojan Horse movements — mass movements whose outward purpose seems to be providing material help to the downtrodden, but whose real objective is to draft poor people into service as revolutionary foot soldiers; to mobilize poor people en masse to overwhelm government agencies with a flood of demands beyond the capacity of those agencies to meet. The flood of demands was calculated to break the budget, jam the bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown — providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change. That was the theory.
Cloward and Piven recruited a militant black organizer named George Wiley to lead their new movement. In the summer of 1967, Wiley founded the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO). His tactics closely followed the recommendations set out in Cloward and Piven’s article. His followers invaded welfare offices across the United States — often violently — bullying social workers and loudly demanding every penny to which the law "entitled" them. By 1969, NWRO claimed a dues-paying membership of 22,500 families, with 523 chapters across the nation.
Regarding Wiley’s tactics, The New York Times commented on September 27, 1970, "There have been sit-ins in legislative chambers, including a United States Senate committee hearing, mass demonstrations of several thousand welfare recipients, school boycotts, picket lines, mounted police, tear gas, arrests – and, on occasion, rock-throwing, smashed glass doors, overturned desks, scattered papers and ripped-out phones."These methods proved effective. "The flooding succeeded beyond Wiley’s wildest dreams," writes Sol Stern in the City Journal. "From 1965 to 1974, the number of single-parent households on welfare soared from 4.3 million to 10.8 million, despite mostly flush economic times. By the early 1970s, one person was on the welfare rolls in New York City for every two working in the city’s private economy." As a direct result of its massive welfare spending, New York City was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1975. The entire state of New York nearly went down with it. The Cloward-Piven strategy had proved its effectiveness.
The Cloward-Piven strategy depended on surprise. Once society recovered from the initial shock, the backlash began. New York’s welfare crisis horrified America, giving rise to a reform movement which culminated in "the end of welfare as we know it" — the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, which imposed time limits on federal welfare, along with strict eligibility and work requirements. Both Cloward and Piven attended the White House signing of the bill as guests of President Clinton.
Most Americans to this day have never heard of Cloward and Piven. But New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani attempted to expose them in the late 1990s. As his drive for welfare reform gained momentum, Giuliani accused the militant scholars by name, citing their 1966 manifesto as evidence that they had engaged in deliberate economic sabotage. "This wasn’t an accident," Giuliani charged in a 1997 speech. "It wasn’t an atmospheric thing, it wasn’t supernatural. This is the result of policies and programs designed to have the maximum number of people get on welfare."
Cloward and Piven never again revealed their intentions as candidly as they had in their 1966 article. Even so, their activism in subsequent years continued to rely on the tactic of overloading the system. When the public caught on to their welfare scheme, Cloward and Piven simply moved on, applying pressure to other sectors of the bureaucracy, wherever they detected weakness.
In 1982, partisans of the Cloward-Piven strategy founded a new "voting rights movement," which purported to take up the unfinished work of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Like ACORN, the organization that spear-headed this campaign, the new "voting rights" movement was led by veterans of George Wiley’s welfare rights crusade. Its flagship organizations were Project Vote and Human SERVE, both founded in 1982. Project Vote is an ACORN front group, launched by former NWRO organizer and ACORN co-founder Zach Polett. Human SERVE was founded by Richard A. Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, along with a former NWRO organizer named Hulbert James.
All three of these organizations — ACORN, Project Vote and Human SERVE — set to work lobbying energetically for the so-called Motor-Voter law, which Bill Clinton ultimately signed in 1993. The Motor-Voter bill is largely responsible for swamping the voter rolls with "dead wood" — invalid registrations signed in the name of deceased, ineligible or non-existent people — thus opening the door to the unprecedented levels of voter fraud and "voter disenfranchisement" claims that followed in subsequent elections. The new "voting rights" coalition combines mass voter registration drives — typically featuring high levels of fraud — with systematic intimidation of election officials in the form of frivolous lawsuits, unfounded charges of "racism" and "disenfranchisement," and "direct action" (street protests, violent or otherwise). Just as they swamped America’s welfare offices in the 1960s, Cloward-Piven devotees now seek to overwhelm the nation’s understaffed and poorly policed electoral system. Their tactics set the stage for the Florida recount crisis of 2000, and have introduced a level of fear, tension and foreboding to U.S. elections heretofore encountered mainly in Third World countries. Both the Living Wage and Voting Rights movements today depend heavily on financial support from George Soros’s Open Society Institute and his "Shadow Party," through whose support the Cloward-Piven strategy continues to provide a blueprint for some of the Left’s most ambitious campaigns.
With the news today, one could easily think what’s the use in fighting and toss in the towel. Chance favors the prepared mind. Think what you want and rely on yourself to make it happen.
The masses, we note, depend on the authorities to think for them. Why are they authorities? They think what they want and rely on themselves to make it happen. Thinking what you want requires, first, that you think there is no such thing as objective reality; that we were not created with hive mentality.
Jesus offered that you should do unto others as you would have others do unto you, the Golden Rule. You have your rights and others have their rights. The present authorities would have you submit to the good of all, or as President Obama puts it, submit to “collective salvation.”
Collective salvation is for the masses; the authorities do what is best for them, the law of nature. Obama’s idea of the law, the law he learned at Harvard, naturally, he has a problem with our Constitution, Obama learned the “old world” view of the law and then went to South Chicago as a community organizer to practice “the law.” He was Acorn’s lawyer. What more proof do you want that Obama practices the law South Chicago style, the law of might makes right?
With Obama’s exploding national debt, the law of nature will bring forth someone with the lesser of two evils answer, someone like Obama. With Obama, it is always the lesser of two evils, the evil he helped create, to practice the law of the jungle. How do you deal with it?
We now have a scientific answer for miracles. The state of mind, or conscious awareness is fundamental to the laws of nature. The microcosmic world, a world of infinite possibility, is connected with the state of mind. The more consciously aware we are, the more we, individually, are in control of our lives. When you think in terms of the Golden Rule, the Higher Law of nature under which humans were created, and with which to live, and the background of our Constitution, it all comes into play. When I read the Constitution, I realized it was voices of the past speaking to me. In my experience, you prepare for the worst and fight for your rights. Miraculously, the worst never happens.

The Awakening
.
It was a sunny day as I stood on the Capitol steps in D.C.
There was a great sea of people on the lawn before me
What brand of protestor be these with signs not vulgar or profane
Who called for prosperity, lower taxes, less government caused pain?
.
They invoked God and his forgiveness as they did pray
They said the pledge and sang the Anthem at each meeting day
So many people and yet they left behind not a speck of trash
For as far as you could see there was only green grass!
.
This new kind of protestor was without doubt a rare breed
All colors, all races, all faiths, all avocations and all creeds
Proclaiming their love of Country, patriots one and all
Honoring the Veterans and all, who had answered the call.
.
The Tea Party movement had been born at long, long last
Their name harkened back to patriots from our revolutionary past
We would know them by their patriotic garb, slogans and signs
Some on the left called them Astroturf, terrorists and worse at times.
.
They advocated for free markets, fiscal responsibility, freedom and liberty,
For Constitutional limits on the State and Federal government’s authority
They believe that “We the people” are the rightful masters of the land
And that the government works for us through God’s guiding hand.
.
At last the great silent majority had awakened and loudly they spoke
This November past, the Left and the media learned they were no joke
They stood proud for God, Country and principles with character so hardy
Taxed Enough Already became the battle cry of the modern day Tea Party.
.
What a counterpoint to the protests of the left in the past
With their signs advocating for peace, but that didn’t last.
No short sleeved shirts for their police guards on duty
Full riot gear was the order of the day, to control the unruly!
.
The Left would invariably espouse their green philosophy
Yet their trash left behind was an environmental catastrophe
They carried signs with nooses round necks and heads lopped off
Of religion and family values they would most often scoff!
.
I always wondered if any Liberals realized the hypocrisy of it all
“Do as I say, not as I do”, must require a great deal of gall
Or was it as simple as they couldn’t think, they were sheep
They were just out there protesting together, their minds asleep.
.
These days the lights and cameras are on the Tea Party
The newly awakened and no longer silent majority
What a pleasure to see patriots standing for their God and Country
Knowing their actions won’t embarrass us here, or over the sea.
.
The job is not done for the Tea Party; indeed, it just started
There is bad legislation to repeal and earmarks needing to be parted
A balanced budget amendment would be a good place to begin
Make the tax cuts permanent and the wasteful spending reign in!
.
The voters have spoken, Tea Party principles they embrace
They have flipped the House, the Senate, they'll finish next race
It is now for the new Congress to show they are up to the job
Or else next Election Day they will face, yet another angry mob!

The “Ghettosburg Address”

Supreme Court Decision
Ladies and gentlemen, I really have to ask you to seriously consider what you've heard, and now this is the end of the evening so to speak. I heard a prize fight manager say to his fellow who was losing badly, “David, listen to me. It's not what's he's doing to you. It's what you're not doing. (laughter).
Ladies and gentlemen, these people set, they opened the doors, they gave us the right, and today, ladies and gentlemen, in our cities and public schools we have fifty percent drop out. In our own neighborhoods, we have men in prison. No longer is a person embarrassed because they're pregnant without a husband. (clapping) No longer is a boy considered an embarrassment if he tries to run away from being the father of the unmarried child . . .
Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic and lower middle economic people are not holding up their end in this deal. In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. (clapping) In the old days, you couldn't hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye (laughing). And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had one and where you got it from. Parents don't know that today.
I'm talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? (clapping) Where were you when he was twelve? (clapping) Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don't know he had a pistol? (clapping) And where is his father, and why don't you know where he is? And why doesn't the father show up to talk to this boy?
The church is only open on Sunday. And you can't keep asking Jesus to ask doing things for you (clapping). You can't keep asking that God will find a way. God is tired of you (clapping and laughing). God was there when they won all those cases. 50 in a row. That's where God was because these people were doing something. And God said, “I'm going to find a way.” I wasn't there when God said it... I'm making this up (laughter). But it sounds like what God would do (laughter).
We cannot blame white people. White people (clapping) .. white people don't live over there. They close up the shop early. The Korean ones still don't know us as well...they stay open 24 hours (laughter).
I'm looking and I see a man named Kenneth Clark. He and his wife Mamie...Kenneth's still alive. I have to apologize to him for these people because Kenneth said it straight. He said you have to strengthen yourselves...and we've got to have that black doll. And everybody said it. Julian Bond said it. Comedian Dick Gregory said it. All these lawyers said it. And you wouldn't know that anybody had done a damned thing.
50 percent drop out rate, I'm telling you, and people in jail, and women having children by five, six different men. Under what excuse, I want somebody to love me, and as soon as you have it, you forget to parent. Grandmother, mother, and great grandmother in the same room, raising children, and the child knows nothing about love or respect of any one of the three of them (clapping). All this child knows is “gimme, gimme, gimme.” These people want to buy the friendship of a child....and the child couldn't care less. Those of us sitting out here who have gone on to some college or whatever we've done, we still fear our parents (clapping and laughter). And these people are not parenting. They're buying things for the kid. $500 sneakers, for what? They won't buy or spend $250 on Hooked on Phonics. (clapping)
Kenneth Clark, somewhere in his home in upstate New York...just looking ahead. Thank God, he doesn't know what's going on, thank God. But these people, the ones up here in the balcony fought so hard. Looking at the incarcerated, these are not political criminals. These are people going around stealing Coca Cola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake! Then we all run out and are outraged, “The cops shouldn't have shot him” What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand? (laughter and clapping). I wanted a piece of pound cake just as bad as anybody else (laughter) And I looked at it and I had no money. And something called parenting said if get caught with it you're going to embarrass your mother. Not you're going to get your butt kicked. No. You're going to embarrass your mother. You're going to embarrass your family.
If knock that girl up, you're going to have to run away because it's going to be too embarrassing for your family. In the old days, a girl getting pregnant had to go down South, and then her mother would go down to get her. But the mother had the baby. I said the mother had the baby. The girl didn't have a baby. The mother had the baby in two weeks. (laughter) We are not parenting. Ladies and gentlemen, listen to these people, they are showing you what's wrong. People putting their clothes on backwards. –isn't that a sign of something going on wrong? (laughter)
Are you not paying attention, people with their hat on backwards, pants down around the crack. Isn't that a sign of something, or are you waiting for Jesus to pull his pants up (laughter and clapping ). Isn't it a sign of something when she's got her dress all the way up to the crack...and got all kinds of needles and things going through her body. What part of Africa did this come from? (laughter). We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans, they don't know a damned thing about Africa. With names like Shaniqua, Shaligua, Mohammed and all that crap and all of them are in jail. (When we give these kinds names to our children, we give them the strength and inspiration in the meaning of those names. What's the point of giving them strong names if there is not parenting and values backing it up).
Brown Versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem. We've got to take the neighborhood back (clapping). We've got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It's right around the corner. (laughter) It's standing on the corner. It can't speak English. It doesn't want to speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk. “Why you ain't where you is go, ra,” I don't know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk (laughter). Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't land a plane with “why you ain't...” You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they're moving ahead on this. Well, they know they're not, they're just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you're just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out.
Now look, I'm telling you. It's not what they're doing to us. It's what we're not doing. 50 percent drop out. Look, we're raising our own ingrown immigrants. These people are fighting hard to be ignorant. There's no English being spoken, and they're walking and they're angry. Oh God, they're angry and they have pistols and they shoot and they do stupid things. And after they kill somebody, they don't have a plan. Just murder somebody. Boom. Over what? A pizza? And then run to the poor cousin's house. They sit there and the cousin says “what are you doing here?” “I just killed somebody, man.” “What?” “I just killed somebody, I've got to stay here.” “No, you don't.” “Well, give me some money, I'll go...” “Where are you going?” “North Carolina.” Everybody wanted to go to North Carolina. But the police know where you're going because your cousin has a record.
Five or six different children, same woman, eight, ten different husbands or whatever, pretty soon you're going to have to have DNA cards so you can tell who you're making love to. You don't who this is. It might be your grandmother. (laughter) I'm telling you, they're young enough. Hey, you have a baby when you're twelve. Your baby turns thirteen and has a baby, how old are you? Huh? Grandmother. By the time you're twelve, you could have sex with your grandmother, you keep those numbers coming. I'm just predicting.
I'm saying Brown Vs. Board of Education. We've got to hit the streets, ladies and gentlemen. I'm winding up, now , no more applause. I'm saying, look at the Black Muslims. There are Black Muslims standing on the street corners and they say so forth and so on, and we'rere laughing at them because they have bean pies and all that, but you don't read “Black Muslim gunned down while chastising drug dealer.” You don't read that. They don't shoot down Black Muslims. You understand me. Muslims tell you to get out of the neighborhood. When you want to clear your neighborhood out, first thing you do is go get the Black Muslims, bean pies and all (laughter). And your neighborhood is then clear. The police can't do it.
I'm telling you Christians, what's wrong with you? Why can't you hit the streets? Why can't you clean it out yourselves? It's our time now, ladies and gentlemen. It is our time (clapping). And I've got good news for you. It's not about money. It's about you doing something ordinarily that we do—get in somebody else's business. It's time for you to not accept the language that these people are speaking, which will take them nowhere. What the hell good is Brown V. Board of Education if nobody wants it?
What is it with young girls getting after some girl who wants to still remain a virgin. Who are these sick black people and where did they come from and why haven't they been parented to shut up? To go up to girls and try to get a club where “you are nobody..,” this is a sickness ladies and gentlemen and we are not paying attention to these children. These are children. They don't know anything. They don't have anything. They're homeless people. All they know how to do is beg. And you give it to them, trying to win their friendship. And what are they good for? And then they stand there in an orange suit and you drop to your knees, “(crying sound) He didn't do anything, he didn't do anything.” Yes, he did do it. And you need to have an orange suit on too (laughter, clapping).
So, ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you for the award (big laughter) and giving me an opportunity to speak because, I mean, this is the future, and all of these people who lined up and done..they've got to be wondering what the hell happened. Brown V. Board of Education, these people who marched and were hit in the face with rocks and punched in the face to get an education and we got these knuckleheads walking around who don't want to learn English (clapping) I know that you all know it. I just want to get you as angry that you ought to be. When you walk around the neighborhood and you see this stuff, that stuff's not funny. These people are not funny anymore. And that 's not brother. And that's not my sister. They're faking and they're dragging me way down because the state, the city and all these people have to pick up the tab on them because they don't want to accept that they have to study to get an education.
We have to begin to build in the neighborhood, have restaurants, have cleaners, have pharmacies, have real estate, have medical buildings instead of trying to rob them all. And so, ladies and gentlemen, please, Dorothy Height, where ever she's sitting, she didn't do all that stuff so that she could hear somebody say “I can't stand algebra, I can't stand...and “what you is.” It's horrible.
Basketball players, multimillionaires can't write a paragraph. Football players, multimillionaires, can't read. Yes. Multimillionaires. Well, Brown V Board of Education, where are we today? It's there. They paved the way. What did we do with it. The white man, he's laughing, got to be laughing. 50 percent drop out, rest of them in prison.
You got to tell me that if there was parenting, help me, if there was parenting, he wouldn't have picked up the Coca Cola bottle and walked out with it to get shot in the back of the head. He wouldn't have. Not if he loved his parents. And not if they were parenting! Not if the father would come home. Not if the boy hadn't dropped the sperm cell inside of the girl and the girl had said, “No, you have to come back here and be the father of this child.” Not ..“I don't have to.”
Therefore, you have the pile up of these sweet beautiful things born by nature raised by no one. Give them presents. You're raising pimps. That's what a pimp is. A pimp will act nasty to you so you have to go out and get them something. And then you bring it back and maybe he or she hug you. And that's why pimp is so famous. They've got a drink called the “Pimp-something.” You all wonder what that's about, don't you? Well, you're probably going to let Jesus figure it out for you (laughter). Well, I've got something to tell you about Jesus. When you go to the church, look at the stained glass things of Jesus. Look at them. Is Jesus smiling? Not in one picture. So, tell your friends. Let's try to do something. Let's try to make Jesus smile. Let's start parenting. Thank you, thank you (clapping, cheers)
Ya'all live long, strong and ornery,

I borrowed my title from Glenn Beck and Glenn from Ghandi.
Like the smell in the air before a rain storm, you know it’s coming, we know the change is coming in our lives. America can’t continue spending and borrowing at the present rate. Surely President Obama knows that, although I have not heard him mention it. President Obama knows that printing trillions of dollars with nothing back of them, called monetizing the debt, or government created inflation as the means of offsetting extravagant spending, indebting America’s children, we talk about it, we’ve yet to hear Obama talk about it. Par for the course, Obama doesn’t talk about extremist Muslims. He doesn’t talk about America’s pilgrims on Thanksgiving Day; instead he talks about native Americans. Obama’s problem is America’s Constitution. He doesn’t like it so he talks in riddles. He’s a traitor.
The numbers game, or state lottery, played by those who hope and wish for riches, Obama spinning the wheel of fortune for this mindless type, millions of Americans hoping against hope that it will stop on their number, this idea of living in the hope that lady luck will favor you has millions of American hooked. History proves me right. You people are doomed to die in despair.
Let’s play my numbers game; become the change you want to see. Einstein proved, with numbers, that everything can be reduced to vibrations. Vibrations reduce to numbers. Numbers, a form of logic, explains things our limited sensibilities can’t explain. Before the present age, from a more basic understanding to materialism, to the tip of the iceberg, before man was blinded by surface reflections, man looked to the movements of the heavens and drew geometric figures. These were converted to numbers logic—if this is so, that is so. Over the centuries, quite a lot of the world’s knowledge was based on the heavens reduced to numbers.
In the Lord’s prayer, from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, we read “in earth as it is in heaven,” my assumption based on a universe reduced to numbers.
Based on a universe that can be reduced to numbers, we read in the second chapter of the Gospel According to St. Matthew that Persian astrologers (three wise men), with the notion that a King of Jews was about to be born, followed the Star of Bethlehem to the birthplace of Jesus. The story of Jesus’ life tells us that Jesus, rather than a king, was a spiritual guide who did not like what he saw going on in the temple in Jerusalem. He turned over the money changers tables, the source of the temple priests’ revenue. The priests arrested Jesus. Since Jewish law didn’t allow them to execute him, they took Jesus to the Roman governor and asked him to execute Jesus. The Romans, in an effort to gain Jewish acceptance of their authority, had assigned a Jewish holy day to release a prisoner. Not finding Jesus guilty of violating Roman law, to appease them, Pontius Pilate gave the priests their choice of a convicted murderer, Barabbas, who was to be crucified, or Jesus. The priests chose to release Barabbas. Jesus, our savior and redeemer, paid the price of murder.
For an undeniable fact, might makes right. It’s the law of the jungle. The authorities have managed to make you and I responsible for crucifying Jesus. What makes their reasoning better than mine—their education, their public acceptance? They don’t know me or my reasons. There is nothing new about it. If you allow them, authorities will put you on a guilt trip every time. Making others guilty is a marvelous way of having your way. If you let Obama have his way, you feel guilty for questioning Islam. I see no guilt being expressed by Muslims for teaching their believers to kill infidels. Where else but in their Mosques do they learn this? Same as Obama, they defend their religion. If not in fact, in spirit, Obama is a Muslim. This Muslim spirit, control freaks prodding freedom lovers into enslavement—Sharia Law—as with the territory of all tyrants, this phony spirit goes with Muslim territory. I’m giving you the real story behind Jesus’ crucifixion: tyranny, the bane of humanity. Obama has the gall to call Sharia Law, or “collective salvation,” Christian.
“And God said,” in Genises 1:26, “Let us make man in our image.” Since God gave man dominion over all life on the planet, blessed man with superior intelligence, could it possibly be God’s command to kill his own creation? No, it is totally devoid of logic. It is unmistakably might makes right—terrorizing the world into submission—Sharia Law. Wouldn’t you know that the lesser of two evils would be the federal pat down? Do you want to take the chance of being blown out of the sky? Birds of a feather fly together. Those lying frauds! Obama and company are in cahoots with Muslim terrorists. By the time Obama gets done with his plans, your freedom will be a thing of the past.
As for “in earth as it is in heaven” (by the numbers, that is), Jesus came into existence at the beginning of the Age of Pisces with a message:
1. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works.
2. No man can serve two masters. Seek ye first the kingdom of God.
3. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
4. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
5. Therefore all things whatever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
6. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are raving wolves.
7. Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Progressives, I pray that you hear me. According to the numbers, there is a progressive order in man’s relation to the universe. We are here with increasing purpose. It runs through and links together the ages. Jesus and his message came at the beginning of the Age of Pisces. The numbers tell astrologers that “Pisceans desperately want to do the right thing, but as a rule they do not have strong willpower. Therefore, they are easily influenced by external factors”—Astrologer’s Handbook.
We are leaving the Age of Pisces, entering the Age of Aquarius. According to the numbers, “Individuals born under the sign of brotherhood and fraternity (Aquarius) have as their symbol the water-bearer, who spills out to mankind the life-force and spiritual energy. . .There is no affectation or snobbery in the Aquarian personality but a dislike of spurious imitation and hypocrisy in any form. Aquarians operate as equals among equals. However, they are not dependent on their environments for their security, because they derive this from being in the company of others.”—Astrologer’s Handbook.
What the numbers tell us is that change favors the prepared mind, and that merely wishing and hoping, by itself La La Land, Obama’s game will leave you in despair. Being the change you want to see is a numbers game that works. You have a choice. Rather than Obama, Islam—or whatever—Jesus has the right answers for you.
