USEFUL IDIOTS

This is going to be my last post for a little while. There are so many bloggers and websites who are doing such a fantastic job of exposing the Marxist lies of Obama and his cronies, that I am not sure my small voice is adding anything to the din. I read so many articles all day and concern myself with writing this blog, that I am missing out on my painting and various other necessary tasks.

When I began this blog I felt that America was not getting the message of just how dangerous Obama, Soros, the Progressives who have infiltrated our country, and the Socialists in Congress are. I think that word is getting through now, thankfully, so my small contribution is maybe not as necessary as I thought it was.

The president of the United States loves "useful idiots." They are his lifeblood. Without them he has no one to manipulate and fool. He lives to lie to them. It's his favorite game. It is his forte. The State of the Union address on Wednesday evening was a perfect example of his double speak, contradictions and outright lies. And if he came right out and told the truth of who he is and what he stands for, the majority American public would have fought hard against him and never even thought of pulling the lever for this guy. So he turns people into "useful idiots," which keeps his act on the stage.

This is why it is so important that people keep doing the research, listening to the voices of freedom, and speaking out against the tyranny of the left. The middle class are the lifeblood of America, the America Obama hates. We stand in his way. We don't like liars and thieves. We especially get mad when someone wants to tear down our country and tear up the Constitution. We will hang tough and eventually rid ourselves of this scourge, but it is going to take a lot of hard work and some time to undo the damage.

I may post occasionally, now and then, but not so regularly as before. Meanwhile, please keep up the fight and keep reading the sites that give you all of the truth behind the scenes.
Thanks...'til later..

WHO BACKS OBAMA - DISCOVER THE NETWORKS

Several times in my posts here on Obama, I have mentioned George Soros as the man behind the curtain. It occurred to me that some of you reading this blog may not know of Soros, who he is, and why I tell you he is the magical puppet-master controlling our government and our elections.

So I send you to this information site: DISCOVER THE NETWORKS

Click on that link and read a brief overview of who Soros is, who he funds, and how he skews elections. If you thought Obama was just a manifestation of the Chicago mob, you would be wrong. He is where he is because of George Soros. You can bet Obama / Soros will not back down until they completely destroy the United States of America.

Just a reminder of how and why we found ourselves in this mess. It isn't an accident. It isn't because Americans hated George Bush. It isn't as if America deserves what it is getting. It is orchestrated from behind the scenes, from under a rock, by a master manipulator, and not because we are such a terrible nation, but because our success is hated by George Soros and those who are connected to him, including the media.

Americans don't deserve destruction by a billionaire Nazi who, by proxy, is pulling the Obama strings. The recent Supreme Court ruling allowing corporations free speech regarding future elections could help throw off Soros' influence peddling. And that is, no doubt, what rubs Obama so much on that ruling. He is fuming that his benefactor will have some competition in the influence peddling game. The benefactor is fuming. Last election Soros held all of the cards. Next go round, there will be others with some money speaking out against the Socialist take-over of our country. (God willing) You see, free speech is an anathema to the devil....he hates the truth, so he will shut up anyone who speaks it against him.

Go Judge Alito!!!! I'm proud of you!!!

Added info from a Big Journalism article written by Kyle-Anne Shiver:

Here is an excerpt:
"The Soros-Obama “remaking America” agenda also got a huge blow last week from the Supreme Court. As Richard Poe and David Horowitz outlined in their book, Shadow Party, the fundamental control of the Democratic Party has shifted away from union, corporate and local political machines to a range of NGOs, largely funded by George Soros. Soros nearly single-handedly financed the lobbying efforts to pass McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform. In so doing, he was able to harness far greater political control for himself. Now that large portions of the law have been deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, a fight will be necessary to salvage his leverage. President Obama has already signaled that this fight will be one of his own priorities."

UNCLE SCREWTAPE = OBAMA'S STATE OF THE UNION

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) wrote a great book called "The Screwtape Letters." The book is an exchange between Screwtape, and experienced demon, and his nephew Wormwood, who is an apprentice devil. The letters are written by Screwtape advising Wormwood on how to manipulate a human patient. It exposes the workings of a devious creature on his methods of mind control over a human being with an illness who is trying to find strength in a seriously difficult situation.

This is what I thought of this morning as I reflected on Obama's lengthy lying speech last evening. "The Screwtape Letters" and Cloward and Piven, who happen to be the embodiment of Uncle Screwtape in our contemporary moment of difficulties. I don't know if I have personally ever seen a president who is more condescending or who speaks out of both sides of his mouth more than this one. He is either completely stupid (which I doubt), or he believes this country is made up of dumb schmucks who will swallow anything. If you think of our America as the ailing patient looking for help and strength to overcome near fatal afflictions, and if you see the lies that Obama tries to perpetrate on the citizens of this country, you will understand why I thought of that book.

The double-talk is deliberate. The obfuscation is deliberate. The insidious, smarmy, condescension is intolerable. The connections to past slides into hell are obvious. The nods to Hugo Chavez, Che Guevara, the Muslim radicals, the Unions, the anti-American left, are telling. The dishonoring of our country is disgusting at least, impeachable at most. The coddling of terrorists is dangerous. The micromanagement of individuals is unacceptable and criminal. The destruction of free markets and corporations is fascism. The ideology of this president is so anti-American that he might as well be speaking from Nazi Germany in 1939. All we fought against, from the 1700's revolution through WWII, has come to reign terror on our country from within.

Our citizens are aware of this insane monstrous lie that is our president. (I just can't make myself capitalize that word today.) The question now is what can we do to protect ourselves from him and his henchmen? I would advise waiting it out and praying to God for protection. I still advise the prayer part, but I sincerely advise we begin doing all we can to spread the word, work for candidates that can stop this coup, and thwart this administration at every opportunity. It is going to be too late to save the ship without immediate and drastic moves from the electorate, from citizens, from patriots, from us.

In closing, I want to thank C.S. Lewis, George Orwell, Ayn Rand, Thomas Sowell, Walter E. Williams, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, John Stossell, (all other messengers of freedom and truth) and especially our founding fathers who gave us a blue print for freedom and life. Hang on folks. The roller coaster is going down at the moment...we can pray it is going to go back up sometime (sooner rather than later).

And speaking to Uncle Screwtape....you are a very clever fellow, but God is greater.

I DON'T GRADE ON THE CURVE

I remember once, some long time ago, my older brother in a moment of extreme frustration yelled, "Look, I'll play by the rules if someone would just tell me what the rules are!" He was in the middle of a changing landscape where he had based his life on a set of rules which kept moving away from him, rules that kept him at a disadvantage. He was finding out that everybody had some arbitrary set of rules requiring him to adapt to the unfamiliar and uncomfortable.(Sort of like the book, "Who Moved My Cheese," where you are in a constant sea of change, trying to catch up with the next set of requirements.)

This came to me as I was reading an article on ethnic quotas over at American Thinker The article says:

"The Boston Globe reports that the University of Massachusetts is setting up a med-school set-aside program: "Under an initiative set to be finalized today, the state's only public medical school [i.e., at UMass] will partner with UMass campuses in Boston, Amherst, Lowell, and Dartmouth to create a joint baccalaureate-MD program that would ensure admission for aspiring doctors from underrepresented ethnic and socioeconomic groups. . . . The medical school will set aside 12 slots in its 125-student, first-year class for qualified students from groups underrepresented among Massachusetts doctors. Those groups include African-Americans, Hispanics, certain Southeast Asians, and Cape Verdeans, Brazilians, and other Portuguese speakers. Students of any ethnic background from low-income families or those among the first in their families to attend college would also qualify."

I am averse to affirmative action and have always been. (There were better and other options to get blacks in inner cities up to the education levels of the norm.) After years of Head Start, Smart Start, and g'zillions of tax dollars thrown at education of the minorities, I can't see that much, if anything, has been accomplished. And now that we have had at least two generations subjected to affirmative action programs, I believe the field has been tilted, not leveled. There now exists a very large chip on the shoulders of minorities and an entitlement mentality. If that is "progress," then you can have it. I don't want it.

I would be willing to bet that announcement from UMASS has everything to do with "Stimulus" money, where the U.S. government will hand out money only IF you play by their rules of affirmative action. So what are the rules?

You can't discriminate on the basis of race or ethnicity....unless you are the Federal Government? And that is what my brother's angst expressed. The rules are different for some people than others. Instead of equal opportunity using the same set of rules for everyone, the government is grading on the curve. The Federal Government for many years now is all about making rules for some people, picking winners and losers, redistributing your money, and using tax dollars to shore up pet programs. (To be fair, it isn't just the Federal Government. Progressives are now in place in all levels of government, local and state.)

The Constitution was written to prevent this very kind of abuse, not that "progressive" government bureaucrats give a tinker's damn about the Constitution. Remember the slogans of the Socialists / Leftists / Progressives / Liberals / Communists are full of anti-Constitutional principles that are cleverly cloaked in language meant to confuse the public. "Social Justice" instead of "Equal Justice," is but one example. "Green Jobs" instead of "Jobs," "Smart Growth" instead of "Economic Growth." They co-opted the education system, the economic system, the judicial system, the banking system, etc. Now going into the health care system and trying to "socialize it" as well. Not equalize it..."socialize" it. Everything the "progressives" do is tilted, graded on the curve of redistribution.

My brother died at age 59, full of angst and frustration. No wonder.

UNDER THE RADAR = WHO TOOK 550 BILLION OUT OF THE MONEY SYSTEM?

Please take a few moments and watch the 6 minute video below! Listen carefully to what Rep. Paul Kanjorski has to say about the financial crisis during the election of 2008. The video was made in Feb. 2009, but you haven't heard this in the mainstream media.

I don't know if you remember the circumstance just before the election when McCain went flying away from the campaign, back to DC, to address a money crisis while Obama acted cool and said he didn't need to go back to DC because he could stay in touch electronically. The crisis was no big deal to him. He could walk in at the last minute, look like Mr. Aloof and sign onto whatever Bernanke, the Fed, the Treasury, etc. were recommending in the way of borrowing boatloads of money to get us through the crisis, putting America so far into debt we are likely never to get out of it.

This was long ago....over a year ago, but the demeanor of Obama during that time stays with me. The actions of McCain appeared at panic level, while Obama just swaggered his way through it. People took this as "cool-headed" calm in the face of disaster. It was interpreted as leadership quality.

There is no doubt in my mind that someone(s) created that crisis to throw the election. No doubt whatsoever. And there is no doubt in my mind that Obama knew exactly what was going on under the radar on his behalf and had no reason to get his shorts tangled up because it was all planned for his power grab over the government of the United States.

The media, of course, had shushed the story (the under the radar behind the scenes story) because it was all playing into the mainstream media leftist utopian dream of a socialist America. No expose, no in depth search as to what in the devil happened, nothing but trashing McCain and "oh look at that cool Obama." "Isn't he just the type of leader we need?"

So folks, only twice since then have I come across a hint of what that financial crisis was all about. Below is a video from C-Span from February last year that tells you someone(s) was/were sucking as much money as fast as they could out of our banking system in the fall of 2008 before the election. My guess is Soros and his fellow Socialist billionaires were the perpetrators under the radar. My question now is what could prevent this from happening ever again? Another question is will we ever audit the fed? As long as there are forces with that kind of power over our government, We the People are at their mercy. We are pawns in a very high stakes chess game. All of the people who are out of work and who are defaulting on mortgages and who have lost their retirements can thank George Soros and his buddies, thank the Carters, Clintons, Bushes, and Obama for wrecking the middle class and making the poor so much poorer. Socialism is just great isn't it ? (Remember this; Socialism is a two tiered system made up of a few powerful rich and the peons. There is no middle class in Socialism. AND REMEMBER THIS WHILE OBAMA GIVES HIS STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS THIS WEEK. )

ARE REPUBLICANS GETTING WITH THE PROGRAM?

In a sea of misleading information and a country that has seemed to have lost its compass, I sometimes think we are living in a chapter from 1984 by George Orwell. And then I come across something that gives me hope that there are still intelligent minds in our midst who are fit to lead our country out of the darkness. I found such a moment today while reading and article by Michael S. Rulle Jr. at Big Government.com I share it with you so you can also experience a little glimmer of sanity in an otherwise insane world. The policies below come from a 20 page policy pamphlet written by Michigan Congressman Thaddeus McCotter who is part of the Republican Policy Committee. Thumbs up to Mr. McCotter and the Republican Policy Committee for re-affirming what our country stands for and what the Republican Party is preparing to defend. Read below:

by Michael S. Rulle Jr.
Just what do Republicans stand for?

GOP RESPONSE

The Republican Policy Committee has attempted to answer that question. The Committee is chaired by Michigan Congressman Thaddeus McCotter and consists of the ranking members of the five congressional committee chairs and other key members of the Republican caucus. In a clearly written 20 page pamphlet authored by McCotter, the Republicans list five foundational principles and derive from these principles policies which the Republican Party affirmatively supports. These principles, which I see as reminiscent of the stated and implied principles in the Declaration of Independence, are coherent, un-cynical, and necessary. They are:

1. Our liberty is from God not government. (“all men…. are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights”);

2) Our Sovereignty is in our souls not soil. (“…to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”);

3) Our security is in strength not surrender. (The Declaration itself was a document asserting the Colonies right to use its military might in support of its principles);

4) Our prosperity is from the private sector not the public sector. (“that {among these} unalienable rights are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”); and

5) Our truths are self evident not relative. (“….we hold these truths to be self evident”).

CO2 IS YOUR FRIEND - Part 2

Original painting by Cheryl A. Pass


Even after the exposure of emails proving corrupted data and manipulation of findings in the IPCC reports on Climate Change / Global Warming, there are still those who cannot give up the dangerous folly of the environmental alarmism. As I have stated in previous posts, the game is extortion and fraud, not real, factual science. Just to satisfy my chilly January soul, I thought I would remind my cyberspace friends that there is some honest scientific reporting out there. I'm publishing the conclusions of an article cited below so that you may put your worried mind at ease and know we are in a better world than you might have thought.....that is if you've had to suffer through the "sky is falling" lies we've been force fed for the past several years. Read and enjoy!!!

Environmental Effects of Increased Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide ARTHUR B. ROBINSON, NOAH E. ROBINSON, AND WILLIE SOON Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, 2251 Dick George Road, Cave Junction, Oregon 97523 [artr@oism.org]
CONCLUSIONS:
There are no experimental data to support the hypothesis that in - creases in human hydrocarbon use or in atmospheric carbon dioxide and other green house gases are causing or can be expected to cause unfavorable changes in global temperatures, weather, or landscape. There is no reason to limit human production of CO2, CH4, and other minor green house gases as has been proposed (82,83,97,123). We also need not worry about environmental calamities even if the current natural warming trend continues. The Earth has been much warmer during the past 3,000 years without catastrophic effects. Warmer weather extends growing seasons and generally improves the habitability of colder regions. As coal, oil, and natural gas are used to feed and lift from poverty vast numbers of people across the globe, more CO2 will be released into the atmosphere. This will help to maintain and improve the health, longevity, prosperity, and productivity of all people.

The United States and other countries need to produce more energy, not less. The most practical, economical, and environmentally sound methods available are hydrocarbon and nuclear technologies. Human use of coal, oil, and natural gas has not harmfully warmed the Earth, and the extrapolation of current trends shows that it will not do so in the foreseeable future. The CO2 produced does, however, accelerate the growth rates of plants and also permits plants to grow in drier regions. Animal life, which depends upon plants, also flourishes, and the diversity of plant and animal life is increased.

Human activities are producing part of the rise in CO2 in the atmosphere. Mankind is moving the carbon in coal, oil, and natural gas from below ground to the atmosphere, where it is available for conversion into living things. We are living in an increasingly lush environment of plants and animals as a result of this CO2 increase. Our children will therefore enjoy an Earth with far more plant and animal life than that with which we now are blessed.
