ONE HALF OF THE LAST CENTURY OF "PROGRESSIVE" RULE

They say it is the entitlements that are killing us. And that may be half of the story. But you cannot tell me that discretionary spending on subsidies isn't the other half of the story. Neither entitlements or subsidies are constitutional, so we are on wrong footing with both of these issues. But if you will humor me for a small walk back through history, I'll see if we can figure out how we got where we are. Sometimes a historical perspective can help us get a grip.

Both entitlements and discretionary spending have become monstrous burdens on the people of this nation. Both entitlements and subsidies are the brain children of "Progressive" meddlers. Interestingly enough both government entitlements and subsidies a century ago were designed by Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, all self proclaimed "Progressives." Since then, add Johnson, Carter, Clinton, and now Obama so far. That is seven presidents, with somewhere around 47.1 years of governing between them. By the time Obama is finished it will be almost 50 of the last 100 years of "Progressive" rule that has bent and manipulated our way of life to benefit Socialists. You can add whichever "Progressive" policies into the mix by RINO Republicans, and you see how far "Progressive" Socialism has come. And by that, measure how far removed we have become from the U.S. Constitution. Is it any wonder that our country is split in half by two sets of ideology. We have half of the last century taking us in a completely different direction from the Founders' vision of America. Maybe it is more of a miracle that half of us still stand with them.

Here we are 100 years + from the origins of the "Progressive" movement in America and the government has its hands on manipulating everything. Our fight for freedom is not new. It has been going on a long long time and we are just visiting the latest incarnation of it. Perhaps, in our day and time, it is that we have only just barely tasted freedom really, when you look at the state of our government from 1900 forward. There are so few freedoms left.

From Academic American

"The Progressive Movement, which gained substantial strength after 1900, can be defined in part as a protective reaction against the growing threat of communism or socialism in American economic and political life. The Progressives were behind many reforms aimed at cleaning up capitalism and protecting workers’ rights. But because the Progressive Movement did not move fast enough for some, the Socialist Party in United States gained a bit of traction. In 1912 the Socialist party under Eugene Debs won almost a million votes. The Populist Party in 1892 had had similar success, and though the Populists were not explicitly communists or socialists, their interests certainly lay in the same direction."

"Although the Progressive Movement is considered to have ended with the outbreak of the First World War, the Progressive Party continued to thrive, and many liberal politicians were—and still are—comfortable being identified as Progressives. Wisconsin’s Robert La Follette garnered almost 5 million votes as the Progressive Party candidate for president in the election of 1924. When the Great Depression hit and American capitalism seemed to be crumbling, those who had embraced communism and socialism seemed vindicated. Intellectuals flocked to the Socialist camp, led by men such as Lincoln Steffens who, having visited Soviet Russia, said, “I have seen the future and it works.”

"With the Cold War tensions on the rise, and with the rise of McCarthyism in the early 1950s, the Socialist movement began to die out. Being labeled a communist or socialist ceased to be respectable except to the fringe on the very far left of America’s political spectrum. That fringe emerged once again in the 1960s as part of the protest movement against the Vietnam War and the excesses of American capitalism; a few old Socialists became darlings of the “New Left.” But with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1990 and the end of the Cold War, the Socialist alternative in America was for a time considered dead and buried. More recently, however, government responses to the economic crisis and the debate over health care reform have awakened the notion that the nation may be drifting toward socialist solutions."

(Note: the article cited above has some built in biases. For instance in the paragraph just above it does not mention the Socialist fringe that, since the 1960's, has infiltrated the education system and the media to sell their ideology to the culture over these past 50 years. And that right after the Soviet Union fell, Americans elected Bill Clinton who is one of the global Socialist left.)

The entire focus of "Progressives" is to control everything. Their model is communism. And through entitlements and subsidies, they control those on the receiving end of these, PLUS they control those on the paying end of these. That pretty much covers all of us at this moment.

The Constitution has already been shredded by these "Progressives" in our country. They came here, they stayed here, they have ruined everything they've touched. If you are taking an entitlement or a subsidy, you are already in the clutches of communist control. If you are still one of the paying segment of the population, you are already forced into supporting communism.

You can't say it is just the entitlements. You can't say it is just the discretionary spending of subsidies. You can't say it is just regulations. It isn't just one thing here and there. It is all of it. You can't say it is only in certain sectors of our lives. Since Barack Obama was elected, it is now everywhere, in every pore and crease of life itself. He has just built a higher castle on the foundations laid by the previous "Progressive" presidents. Time has a way of giving one a perspective if you just step back and look at the events of history.

The fight for freedom goes on.

SUNSHINE AND SOCIALISTS

"Old time" Democrats live by the idea that Franklin Delano Roosevelt saved the nation by creating social programs to save the poor from the Great Depression. Those Democrats are having a difficult time understanding why Roosevelt's reputation isn't glorified by all Americans. They are also watching their Democrat Party evolve into a blatant anti-American, global revolutionary, welfare party. They are wondering why our country cannot get on its economic feet under the stewardship of their 'chosen one,' Obama. Those "old time" Democrats have relied on information which did not bring them the full truth behind Roosevelt's motives, his connections, and his commitment to Socialism.

One of the legs of the Roosevelt platform was Social Security, which now has an unfunded liability of nearly $15 trillion USD at this writing. What Roosevelt started is now part of what is bankrupting America. When that program and the country collapse, will you think of  FDR as a hero or a destructive Socialist?  What is the price of that to your children?  The title of his NEW DEAL was deliberately chosen so as not to alert the public to its Socialist ideology. He dared not call his programs "Socialist" because he knew the American public would rebel against them. "A spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down" comes to mind. "Cloaks and daggers" also comes to mind.

The very wealthy Roosevelt family, with two Presidents to its name, was well connected to Fabian Socialism. FDR was close friends with H.G. Wells, one of the more famous Fabians.  His economic advisor, Stuart Chase, was a Fabian who wrote a book called "The New Deal, which originated the phrase.  He followed the economic philosophy of John Maynard Keynes, another Fabian Socialist.  The Fabian Socialist Society was formed in Great Britain the same year as Karl Marx's death, 1884. Not wishing to see Marxism fail, they decided to take a new approach to implement Marx's Global Communism. They continue to exist today under various organizations such as the Democratic Socialist Party, the Communist Party, George Soro's Open Society, and thousands more. They infiltrated American universities and government agencies and more. They now own the Democrat Party in the United States. They are known for such elitist control policies as eugenics, economic redistribution of wealth, evolution / Darwinism, central planning, control of the masses, and the like. They use governments and money to create power structures and manipulate populations. Fabian Socialists in Europe in the early stages preferred the name Progressives, but in the U.S. the socialists took the name Liberal...that is until Liberal became unpopular, so they have now also picked up the "Progressive" label. The word Progressive is supposed to make you think Progressives are forward thinking, however, their basic ideology is nothing more than Marxism from the 1800's re-branded. No matter if you use the word Democratic Liberal or Democratic Progressive, the true definition is Marxist Socialist. The Democrat Party has now become the Socialist Party for all intents and purposes. They are more brazenly proud of this as time goes on. And the sooner the public realizes that fact, the more realistic our national debate can become. And the sooner the public realizes that Socialism is Marx's stepping stone to Communism, the destroyer of American prosperity, the clearer our debate will be. Hopefully, before the nation is lost to the Fabian Socialists, we will have an opportunity to choose to be Americans again.

Barack Obama was elected with the backing of the Fabian Socialists. His main funding source is George Soros, who also backs Hilary Clinton, a "proud Progressive." Besides Obama and Clinton, our Congress now openly claims 80+ members of Socialist and Communist organizations. The Progressive Democrats of America claim 6 House members, the Congressional Progressive Caucus claims 74 House members, the Congressional Black Caucus claims 43 House members, the Democratic Socialists of America claim all of the above members. Source These people have the keys to our treasury, our White House, our State Department, and our Justice system.

The Fabians have cleverly co-opted blacks in the United States to further their central planning power. "Equal" rights is a total contradiction to Fabian Socialism. Instead they use the sugarcoated phrase, "Social Justice," using laws to funnel money to and promote special classes of people. By pitting economic and racial classes against each other, the Fabians gain more and more power as the public looks to central government to fix the class problems the government created in the first place. (This is one of Marx's tools to take power.) Using the civil rights movement and affirmative action, Socialists have ironically put blacks in the position of promoting inequality by government fiat. The purpose of this is merely to tear down the "equal rights guaranteed by God" of the U.S. Constitution. That is all it is. It isn't some altruistic reparations idea based on white guilt. It is a tool to make people dependent on government programs and central planning. It is a way to make blacks dependent on Fabian Socialist government programs and, at the same time, make other classes of people pay for this, just as Roosevelt made the elderly dependent on labor contributions of the younger workers. The ensuing resentment from this causes inner strife and destroys cohesion between citizens and, eventually, destroys the United States Constitution. The more resentment, the less cohesion, the sooner the country collapses, the more people look to the central planners, the sooner the Fabian Socialists take over. "Unlike Marx's open and violent revolutionary agenda, the Fabian's agenda was to quietly infiltrate and re-direct established governments." Here is a website with a short description

 As Margaret Thatcher once wisely said, "Socialism is just great, but eventually you run out of other people's money."  Probably the most effective tool of the Fabian Socialists is to bankrupt a country in order to step in and take power.   Unfunded liability for the Prescription Drug Bill is, at this writing, $19 Trillion USD and for Medicare it is $77 Trillion USD.  I'd say they have been very successful in bankrupting the United States. 

Why does this matter? It matters because your children have had their future stolen.  It matters because Socialism is completely antithetical to the U.S. Constitution. Socialism is un-American at its very core. The United States has always been a thorn in the side of the Fabians. Our Constitution in which God grants rights to the people is against the Socialist mindset. The Socialist believes only the State / central government has the right to control the lives of the people. It matters because the Democrat Party has been so successful at forming Socialist planks in our government that they no longer can cloak their Socialist ideology with euphemisms without the public catching on. It's right out there for the public to see, plain as day. It matters because you can't debate sugarcoated rhetorical pretenses, but now you can debate the reality of who and what the Democrat Party has become. And you can connect the Democrat Party with the global Socialists who are funding them, since their sources have been exposed.

I love clarity. I love sunlight. I love seeing reality instead of having to dig under layers and layers of subterfuge that confuses the public. This is good for the country. After years and years of under the radar infiltration, now we have real contrast and concrete examples in front of us to discuss while choosing the direction of our future, for ourselves and for our children.

My aim in writing this is to enlighten the "old time" Democrats and blacks so they may better understand why the Democrat Party no longer stands for what they thought it was and does not represent them.  Dividing us up into classes and victims does not make us a stronger country or society.   The Democrat Party is not a champion of the people, the poor, the elderly, or the disenfranchised, but a stooge for global Socialism by Fabian Socialists who wish to control all of the resources of the world, the United States fast becoming a ripened plum to be picked due to the economic failures of our leadership.  Being American means trusting in and reestablishing the U.S. Constitution and rejecting the Fabian Global Socialists who wish to destroy America.  It means rejecting the handouts of dependency from rampant, out of control, Socialists who use that dependency to control your life.  It also means towns, counties, and states need to return to their autonomy, rejecting the Federal handouts and programs with strings attached.   It means taking a hard look at the consequences of Socialist policies. 

The way forward is clear, the choices are clear, the disastrous policies of the Progressives are in plain sight for all to see.  Let the sun keep shining!

(One caveat to this article: There are Republican Progressives thrown into our political midst today as well. They are no better for America and must be exposed as well. It is vital to research each candidate and not vote for a Party label.)

RARIFIED AIR

Having owned a business in my life, and coming from a small business heritage where my Dad owned his own business, this gives me a perspective that some people in America evidently don't have. And before I go on, you should know that I love business. I have a great admiration and appreciation for individual enterprise and creativity. Having said that, marketing and positioning are seriously important facets of doing business. What people are not seeing is that there are some corporate schlickmeisters in our government today who are using the power of government to run everything in our lives right now. These business scions are misusing our government for their own benefit. Tangling business with government is one of the corruptions that the founders made efforts to eradicate. What has happened is a massive "insider trading" scheme led by government to scam the public. I guess this post qualifies as another "Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we practice to decieve" article. Thank you William Shakespeare.

One of the tricks of marketing is to latch onto a product that is either needed in the extreme or rare enough to command high demand and prices. So, lets say you are Al Gore, having failed in politics, you want to make a killing in business. You, Al Gore, do not produce anything, but you notice that people need the environment of the earth to live. Or let's say you are Jeffrey Emmelt, CEO of GE and you want to clean up using public money. You, Jeffrey Emmelt, produce lightbulbs and windmills having noticed that people need light and they need electricity. You take a look at what people need in the extreme. Hmmmmmm....so you conclude air and energy are two commodities that people need. You ask yourself what is the best way to cash in?

First thing you do, if you are Al Gore, is create a perception of scarcity. You grab a bunch of people who are also looking to cash in and you create a media blitz on the dire situation of coming doom. You are so desperate to scam the public that you lie and say that even necessary elements of life, like CO2, are pollutants. You hire scientists using government grants to support your theory of scarcity and pollution. This way you don't even have to fork over your own money for investing in your scam, you can use public money. Meanwhile, you set yourself up with Enron-like corporations who are using the Enron model to trade in "carbon credits." (Look up carbon credits and you will see how people are making money trading air "pollution," i.e. CO2, for "clean" air, thereby skimming money from businesses no matter which side of the trade they are on) Just as Enron execs scammed people and went to jail for it, Al Gore should be facing the same fate. But nooooo. Al Gore has created a huge and successful media indoctrination blitzkrieg for his scam and convinced millions of useful idiots that the world is going to come to an end if you don't buy into his carbon credit trading scam. He uses government subsidized scientists to support his theory and then, if cap and trade goes through, will use American taxpayers to pay for carbon credits through his carbon credit trading company. Nice work if you can get it, eh?

Back to Emmelt and GE: This is another story with the same methods in play. Emmelt runs a company who owns NBC and MSNBC. He is looking to cash in on CFL lightbulbs, windmills, and much more. So he instructs his purveyors of "news" to inform the public of how bad Americans are for using so much energy. Through his media outlets he convinces millions of people that America must change its ways of using energy in order to save the world. He creates a demand for compact-fluorescent light bulbs which his company is importing from China. He creates a public campaign for windmills which his company is manufacturing. Then, to force an entire country to buy his products he sends millions of dollars into the democrats campaigns so they will then legislate using taxpayer money to buy and/or subsidize his products, even to the point of outlawing any other type of light bulb but compact fluorescent ones. All of this is under the guise of "the good of the earth and the country."

Rarity. Scarcity. Demand. Media. Public money. These are just two obvious examples of people corrupting the government to use taxpayer money in America to enrich themselves. Other examples are abundant in every aspect of the government these days. Banking. Investing. Cars. Home mortgages. Food. On and on.

The robber barons would be jealous. They hadn't figured out yet how to use government politicians to their own benefit, though I think they tried. Times have changed. Smart business creates a marketing blitz, a perceived demand, and a revenue stream. Today, smart businesses are using our government to do the work for them, costing the American taxpayers millions if not billions. While socialists say they condemn private business enterprise and private property ownership, what socialists do is confiscate every enterprise and piece of property out of the hands of private ownership. (Actually maybe fascism mixed with socialism is the hybrid method of the moment) It isn't that they hate business and private property. It is that they covet business success and use their power to take it from private citizens. Politicians and businesses alike are raping the economic stability of America for their own enrichment. Those like Gore and Emmelt have figured out a way to take capital by force through government from taxpayers, not to make the world a better place, but simply to enrich themselves.

Some evidently are breathing rarified air...and it isn't the taxpayers in America.

"SOCIAL JUSTICE" IS THEFT

Just some thoughts today....

What is it about "stealing" that the socialists don't understand? Or is it that they do understand perfectly well, but don't give a whit for the moral principle of not "stealing?" I can't think of any religion that promotes stealing. I can think of no moral tenets, religious or otherwise, that promote stealing. So Obama not only is the Liar (bearing false witness) in Chief, but is also the Commander in Thief. He was quite obvious about this. It isn't any big surprise, actually. He told us flat out that he was a thief when he spoke with Joe the Plumber. (God bless that Joe Wurzelbacher by the way. God gave him the moment and the strength to ask the question...and God used him for getting His warning to us. And God has such a great sense of humor, He used a guy who unclogs the sewer pipes! You know.....gets the s^&$# out of the pathway. I love God.) But some citizens who claim to be moral missed the message. Or didn't care.

So here we are these many months later and Obama has lied and thieved and bribed and turned our White House into the Chicago Mob Authority. Who knew? Some of us knew.

Simplicity is God's way. Confusion and chaos are the methods of the devil.

Next thoughts:
1. Term limits may seem like an answer to get corrupt career politicians out of office. But wait a second there, genius. Have you ever heard of "throwing the baby out with the bathwater?" Term limits would also rob us of the few great Constitutional congressmen and women who are in the fight to save our nation. We have "term limits." It's called "elections."
2. Amnesty will bring into our nation's electorate people who don't care or understand our Constitution. Amnesty will bring in people who are looking for a free ride to entitlements and handouts. Amnesty will bring in people who want the goodies that honest Americans have worked to pay for. Amnesty is Obama's trump card to create votes for socialism for infinity. We can't allow this.
3. The States are the answer to throw off Obama's Federal take-over of all of our lives. The States can fight back with the 10th amendment. The States can refuse Federal mandates by virtue of balanced budget statutes in the State's governments. If the Federal government is destroying the fiscal viability of the States, the States have the right to fight back and not accept the mandates. The Federal government does not trump States rights in all cases. The Health Care take-over is going to keep lawyers and judges busy for a damn long time.
4. Obama has handed Federal authority to unelected Czars to regulate everything from our light bulbs to our choice in doctors. This cannot stand. Unelected Czars are totalitarians who don't believe in individual rights. Obama doesn't believe in individual rights.
5. We can fight back. We can push back. We can get rid of these people through elections. We can take the country back. We can get rid of entitlements that are bankrupting the United States. We can refuse to comply. We are going to win back our country with time, effort, energy, and putting our money where our mouths are.
6. Our founders and our fathers fought to keep us free from foreign enemies. Now it is our turn to fight to keep us free from domestic enemies. We cannot fail in this.

Take a few minutes or an hour of your day today to research and find candidates who have the courage to save our Constitution. When you find them.....give them your support.

Man the lifeboats and row for the shore.......the shore being our God given blessings and responsibilities to save our country.

ACORN IN NORTH CAROLINA - FYI

A Single Seed Grows Many Branches: ACORN’s Web of Connections in North Carolina

The Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) has woven itself into the fabric of the left in North Carolina. Listed below are short explanations of the ties between the groups illustrated on the above chart. For more detailed information on ACORN NC see Capitol-Monitor.org.

Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN)
ACORN NC – ACORN’s North Carolina arm – has offices in Raleigh, Durham and Charlotte. ACORN NC is a member of Blueprint NCand partners with NC Housing Coalition, NC Policy Watch and the NC Justice Center, among others.

Blueprint North Carolina
Blueprint NC was organized and funded by the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. It is a partnership of over 40 progressive (liberal) state-level nonprofits. Its members include NC Justice Center, El Pueblo Inc., NC Policy Watch and ACORN NC.

Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation
The Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation funds progressive groups. Among them are El Pueblo Inc., North Carolina Housing Coalition, NC Justice Center and Project Vote.

NC Housing Coalition
The Campaign for Housing Carolina is a collaborative effort led by the NC Housing Coalition joined by NC Justice Center, A.J. Fletcher Foundation and ACORN NC.

Project Vote
Project Vote is ACORN’s voter mobilization arm and has provided legal support, including supporting litigation, for ACORN in a number of states. Project Vote registered more than 1.3 million individuals to vote; many of who were deceased, under the voting age or were fabricated registrants.

A.J. Fletcher Foundation
The A.J. Fletcher Foundation, whose mission is to support progressive nonprofits, gave $205,000 to the NC Justice Center and over $66,000 to the NC Housing Coalition in 2007.

Tides Foundation
Tides Foundation received a $25,000 grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, part of which was used to create gettraction.org. The Tides Foundation has given grants to the Center for Community Change as well as over $1 million to Project Vote.

Center for Community Change
The Center for Community Change received money from the Tides Foundation and is partners with the NC Justice Center.

Traction
Traction and their blog, gettraction.org, define themselves as the “future of the progressive movement.” Traction was created through the Tides Foundation from a Z. Smith Reynolds grant.

NC Policy Watch
NC Policy Watch is a project of the Justice Center and located there. NC Policy Watch affiliates with El Pueblo Inc, works with ACORN NC on projects and is a member of Blueprint NC.

El Pueblo Inc.
El Pueblo, an advocacy organization for the Latino community, is a member of Blueprint NC and affiliates with NC Policy Watch. They also received a $107,500 grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation.

AFL-CIO
The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations is a federation of 57 international labor unions. In North Carolina, AFL-CIO shares a building with ACORN NC and is on the North Carolina chapter of Health Care for America Now.

The above article is from the Civitas Institute - apologies, blogger is not letting me create a link at the moment.

This map and information is invaluable to North Carolina residents who are concerned about the infiltration of socialists into our republic. To me it looks like a nest of predatory parasites who are so embedded into our institutions that it will take an act of God to rid ourselves of the scourge.

In defense of Bank of America, I will submit that the bank was forced by the Federal Government to do much of (for) what they are being demonized. I think the map shows a perfect quid pro quo, where the Bank was forced to take the bailout money and then was forced to fork some of it over to Acorn. The Feds forced the banks to take the bailouts. It was the Feds who forced the banks to make the high risk loans to low income people, yet the banks are the ones taking all of the heat for doing what they were told to do. No wonder to me they created derivitives to get rid of the dead weight....if they hadn't done that, the Feds would have taken them over and/or shut them down anyway for lack of viable assets. Ken Lewis was told to go forward with the Merrill Lynch merger and then told to keep his mouth shut to the board on the condition of Merrill Lynch, and now the SEC is suing Bank of America for doing just what the Feds told them to do. Get it? You can't win...Lose lose LOSE! This banking crisis was entirely orchestrated by the Feds (and Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines, etc.) from the beginning.

Our citizens are damned if (we) do, and damned if (we) don't. The government has become the mafia.... You will pay g'zillions for worse health care and if you don't, you will go to jail and we will take all you own. You will pay small fortunes for inferior toxic light bulbs or else!! You will drive an electric tiny can (car) for 30 miles and then plug it into the grid...using more electricity to go shorter distances. You will give up your farm pond to the EPA. You will not exhale without being taxed. The mafia (Chicago or otherwise) is the model now for our government.

Our representatives in DC are no longer our representatives and they don't give a flying flip about what we think or need. Most of them (especially in the majority) are members of the same mafia. And with Acorn stealing elections, I'm not sure how we can get the @@#$$%@!!s out of there.

We need a NC Sovereignty resolution....fast. And that may only suffice to hold them back to a degree. It would help. However, it will be next to impossible to get this done, since the Democrats / Socialists are in the majority in the state house and senate and the governorship.

Sorry to be so glum.....it just doesn't look good to me...
Hang in there folks.

Who Owns You?

A large sharp thorn in the leftist, radical, health care proposals brought to us by Obama's friends is the question of who owns you? This thorn sticks me in every square inch of my body as I read excerpts from HR3200 and also the section of the Stimulus Bill that handed over our rights to unelected Czars. The arrogant assumptions made in the health care bills are simply that bureaucrats in the Federal Government know better than you do about what is good for you, and that they have the right to force you into their socialist traps.

Slavery has many faces. Socialism is just another form of slavery. Period. No question. Socialism takes your person and hands it over to government bureaucrats. The blacks who are having fits over Obama and calling everyone who disagrees with him a racist are buying into slavery to the Federal Government because it is sponsored by one of their own. And if you are white and you disagree with Obama, the knee jerk reaction of the blacks is that you are a racist, which could not be further from the truth. This is upside down total insanity, the likes of which I cannot fathom. White people in this country fought for the rights of blacks. White people brought us a Constitution which acknowledges and insures the rights of individuals of any color. So why the disconnect? Does the fact that white people did these things offend blacks?

The first clue we had was the Rev. Wright who mentored Obama for twenty years. The message of Wright's church was Black Liberation Theology, a theme of irrational hate towards white people and the United States. The mainstream media played that down as if the issue was just white people being 'racist' again by complaining about that. But here we are now and Black Liberation Theology is being slammed down America's throat. How? By the Obama administration making sure that every single criticism against them is deemed 'racist.' The Obama administration is in the process of dividing America racially as much as any historical act of slavery ever did. And this time, the ruse is so clever that it is a black man in charge of the Federal Government who is enslaving people. At this point I am picturing the glee of Obama and his henchmen at the prospects of actually getting away with enslaving all of Americans for their own power mad agenda.

The obvious irony is that black people are buying into slavery. And they are buying it because it is a black bringing it on. Do they see it as some kind of 'pay back' for some fictional offense that has not taken place since the 1940's? Does this generation of blacks have a clue about how they are losing their rights to Obama's tyranny along with the rest of us? Or are they just blinded by the idea that because Obama is half black that he must be on their side? I'm sorry to report this, but no, he isn't. He is on his own side....period. He is doing what greases his bank account, inflates his ego, and gives him power. If you are black, why can't you see that? If you are black you are going to be more marginalized by Obama...but this time all of us are marginalized, whatever color. Do blacks enjoy marginalization as long as whites are marginalized along with them?? Is that the rationale?

My family and I have never participated in any kind of racist activity against black people. Yet I see that Obama's plans include punishing me, along with every other citizen in the country, by enslaving us to his socialist agenda.

This is a test, America. Either you believe in freedom for all of us, or you don't. Can you imagine how happy we would all be if Obama were in the business of protecting rights for all of us instead of usurping power from us, taking away rights from all of us, and tearing the Constitution to shreds? It is then that blacks in America could truly celebrate this man. Instead, Obama has chosen to enslave us all. A very sad turn of events, indeed.

The Nature of Predatory Political Parasites

What do you do when you find yourself attacked by a parasite that is determined to suck the life out of you? Ticks? Tapeworms? Fleas? How about predators? Wolves, Hawks, Sharks, "Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh my."

Parasites are insidious. They usually attack the weak, those with compromised immune systems. This approach makes their job easier. Parasites look for a weakened host. The strong can fight them off. But the weak cannot. In a medical analogy, the course of action is to take the proper antidote to make the host strong enough to wipe out the parasite. Adding more parasites is not the way back to health and strength. And in nature, parasites are known to multiply prolifically and fast. Once they find the weak host, they move in fast and in great numbers.

Predators are more overt. They come at you with aggression and power. They can come in packs or one at a time, but they always overwhelm the victim with guile and strength.

Tactic 1. Socialists are both predators and parasites. They look for and create crises in order to weaken the target. They start salivating when they find weak people. They smell blood. They like to scare people into feeling insecure, make them feel like victims even when they are not. That is one of their most effective weapons. They are determined to make the target feel as if he or she cannot make it in this world without them. In case you haven't noticed, that is also the mode of operations for scam artists, i.e. convince the target that he or she cannot survive "the problem" without them.

Tactic 2. Socialists are very good at attacking the strong in order to weaken them. Predators know how to turn the target into lunch. The strong are their enemies. After all, if you are strong, smart, and self-sustaining, then you are less likely to succumb to the predator's conniving plans to overtake you. So the plan then becomes to strike the strong with public scorn and any other media smear in order to undermine their support. Surprise attacks creating hysteria work well in this one. (I watch the hawk in my backyard swoop in, scare the living daylights out of the smaller birds so they flee in fear and smack their little heads on the house. Then the hawk grabs the little bird as it has knocked itself out lying on the ground. The little bird was fine a minute earlier, but the hawk created the fear that led to the bird's being taken.)

Tactic 3. "Just a little blood sucking won't hurt you." Socialists, like other predators, are very patient. They know they can get you by inches if they can suck you in just a little bit at a time. "Just a little European Socialism" won't hurt quite as bad as a complete Bolshevik revolution or a few guillotines in the public square as the French suffered. In this tactic, the predatory parasites take power by getting you hooked, like a drug addict wants more and more of the addictive dependence on whatever the predatory parasites is offering. What happens here is you can't fight them, so you join them. You become the support system because you want to appease the predator and you think you can put off the inevitable death. The Socialist predatory parasite offers you part of the take, a la dependence on government money.

If you thought Americans were being bled dry by politicians before this past election, you haven't seen bleeding. Americans last November voted for more and bigger predators and parasites. Granted there weren't great options in this past election, but to vote for certain death is so self-defeating that I still can't believe it. Voting for ticks and sharks, tapeworms and wolves, leeches and, well, you get my point.

The Predatory Parasite in Chief and his minions are out there pushing to suck another 3.6 trillion (with a T) of borrowed dollars from our already wounded nation, from you. Their budget doubles our deficit in five years and triples it in ten years. When you add the interest on this insanity, Americans will be so weak and the dollar will be so weak that we are done, our children are done, America's goose is cooked. In fact our poor goose has already been plucked and readied for the pot. Is this what you voted for?


With predators and parasites you only have a few choices; get strong, get smart, and get rid of them fast before they multiply even more. We have come to the tipping point. Take the correct medicine....stop the bleeding...push the "Reset" button on the original writings of the Founding Fathers who saw all of this and protected us from it in the U.S. Constitution. Write to Congress, write to judges, write to friends, speak up! Get your voices heard! Do not sit idly by and let our Nation be taken down by predators and parasites.
