Barack Hussein Obama and ACORN…

I keep wondering when people are going to wake up to Obama’s blatant socialist ties, socialist friends and socialist voting record.  Perhaps they don’t want to.  But, I’m not going to stop yelling, I’m simply going to yell louder.

Barack Hussein Obama has slid under the socialist radar so often, most people have stopped caring.  Ever wonder if that’s one of the reasons that they started campaigning so early?  If they run this into the ground long enough, no one will actually care about the real issues, they’ll just want it to go away.  Kind of like a tooth ache.

For those of you who don’t know who ACORN is, then I’m getting ready to give you a little lesson, so listen up.  It’s important stuff.  ACORN is an acronym for the Association for Community of Reforms Now.  They hide behind their slogan that they are helping the “low-income” in America.  There are multiple levels hidden inside this one organization’s umbrella name.

They take in over 40% of their income from tax money.  That’s you and me.  They then use our money from nearly four decades of government subsidies to promote the welfare state, get illegal aliens federal loans, and bully corporations who won’t bend to them with bad PR until they receive documented funds from those corporations.  Once they receive the funds they need, they no longer have any issue with these “bad” companies.  Right now, they’re against Costco. Once they receive their money, they’ll have no problem with their business practices of not hiring illegals. Isn’t that just  Costco being honest, members of ACORN?  hmmm…….

ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in the history of Washington State just last July.  Seven ACORN “workers” submitted over 2000 fraudulent voter registrations.  The systematically went through the phone book and submitted these for illegal aliens so that the candidate that would most likely give amnesty would be elected.    They have been implicated in Ohio, Missouri and at least 12 other states for similarcharges.  In 2004, one man was given crack cocaine in exchange for his voter information that was then turned over to an illegal alien.  In March of this year,  in Philadelphia,  ACORN was accused of filing false registered votes for the Pennsylvania primary.  Those documents are currently with the district attorney and are under investigation.  The candidate they promote and back?  You got it, Barack Obama.

Barack Obama worked for this socialist organization and represented their Chicago based group while working as an attorney.  He has lead their leadership classes and has trained many of their current leaders on their policies.  Where is the media on this?  Why aren’t Americans knowledgeable on this?  Because they couldn’t have their socialist messiah getting that kind of press, right?   They are currently backing him for President of the United States of America.

For those of you that are as livid as I am about this  300 billion dollar “foreclosure rescue” bill that is being pushed through the Senate and into the House of Representatives, you’ll be glad to know that ACORN had quite a bit to do with the housing industries problems.  It’s all a part of the plan. 

Under the guise of “consumer advocacy”, ACORN has received millions from the HUD, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and has used that money to get loans for illegal aliens.  Ironically, ACORN also advocates interest only loans (which keeps the consumer from getting building any equity) and pushes for poor lending practices.  That seems at odds with one another, right?  Or does it?

The Bill that the Democratic Senate is pushing allows for over one billion of that money to remain with the government and allow them to purchase and fix up foreclosed homes.  Therefore, allowing the government to “rent” property to the American people.  How’s that for a Marxist idea?  The government isn’t for the people anymore because they are now making money on their own.  With OUR money, of course.  ACORN advocates illegal entry and pushes for illegals to buy federally funded homes, like the ones purchased with that HUD money.  Money that the American taxpayer paid in to protect themselves from schemes JUST like this one.

Recently, whistle-blower documents have connected their tax-exempt housing work with their politically motivated work.  It has revealed actual internal documents from the group that advocate and push for just such a happening.  All records obtained revealed that they primarily make their way into a group and then work internally.  There were direct links with their “housing” work and their electioneering activity.  Just this year, members of the  GOP have finally issued to have a court hearing to investigate these activities and the abuse of taxpayer funds.  Other internal documents revealed that one of their primary manifestos is to “create conflict with business targets outside the organization and to do so from within and via PR methods.”

ACORN received more settlements from business corporations than from all foundations and churches combined.   The budget for the “non-profit” organization was over 37 million in 2006 alone. 

Is it too little, too late?  With Obama being a card carrying ACORN member, have they already gotten their minion on the inside to begin to target American capitalism?  I know that this seems like conspiracy theorist stuff and I’m typically as cynical as the next guy about all that, but how many coincidences do we need to have on Obama?  How many times can this guy say, “I was unaware of those activities” and people buy it because the guy can string together a sentence? 

Obama has NO foreign policy experience and yet he’s getting lauded as the next best thing while we’re in the middle of a war.  A war I don’t agree with either, but it’s still one that we’re in.  He has sat in his Senatorial chair exactly 43 times to date.  Keep in mind, they don’t convene everyday and he was only a junior Senator.  He’s literally been there 43 times.  And in those 43 times, he has the strongest socialist record of any Senator in the history of the Congress.  WOW!  How’s that possible? 

He’s been to Muslim countries and attended Muslim schools as a child. That’s a fact, whether anyone likes it or not.  He’s a member of a radical, hate mongering church who’s pastor openly expresses that he believes that America is responsible for most of the world’s problems, including intentionally spreading AIDS in Africa.  That’s a fact and a direct quote. Look it up.   He’s got friends who are right now being investigated for fraudulent activities and is a card carrying member of ACORN.

Are we really that stupid?  Are Americans so incredibly disillusioned and lazy that they won’t research and find out more than the media  tells us or only learn what they want us to know?  

Maybe Americans no longer care for things like freedom and getting all the FACTS, not just what the media thinks we should know.  Maybe people no longer care if they have the right to home school their kids, or not get a food and gas allowance but earn the money you need for these things ourselves.  Maybe Americans no longer care if they have the right to earn money based on their hard work and dedication but would rather live by the Marxist code of  ”from each one according to their ability and to each one according to their need”.  I certainly hope it’s not Obama determining who’s need is greatest.  From the way things are looking, it certainly seems that way.

A solution to illegal immigration…

I’m forever preaching about the horrific impact that illegal immigration is having on American society.  The burden to the tax payer can’t be stated enough.   We have an immigration policy and it should be honored, both by the people entering the United States, and the government of the United States people.

I’m tired of the argument that food prices in America will go up if we deport all illegals.  Get a clue, already.  Statistics clearly state that only 4% of immigrants actually pick our produce.  Since they make up,  most government agencies agree, almost 27% of our population, that means your lettuce and tomatoes MAY go up all of a dime.  Deal already.

Illegals immigrants are NOT integrating into American society in a way that is acceptable to almost 70% of the population.  This is a republic and that means that they need to GO.  The minority can always move to Mexico and help them out if they’d like to do so.  If not, then shut up. 

Are you aware that the main cause of private hospital closings in the last 10 years were due to illegal immigrants?  Are you aware that almost 30% of LA county workers are illegal immigrants who DO NOT pay taxes?  Are you aware that they are pushing for Aztlan? (look that up if you don’t know what it is)  Are you aware that illegal immigrants are the primary cause for the population surge in the US?  Are you aware that almost 90% of ALL illegal immigrants participate in American taxpayer paid welfare programs that they DO NOT pay taxes on themselves?  (that’s stealing your money)

Here is a real, doable plan to move this country back toward what we should be:

1. First, every health department and welfare office in the United States of America will be required to see proof of citizenship, including but not limited to a birth certificate, before any food stamps, medicaid, medicare, section 8 housing, etc… will be given.  Under no circumstances is this step to be missed.  If you aren’t a citizen you may not participate in our tax paid programs.  You don’t pay taxes, so you can’t benefit from mine.

2.  Next, all landlords will be required to have documented proof that their tenants are either United States citizens or here on a work Visa, student exchange or something equivalent to those.  If they have $500-700 dollars per month to pay rent, they’re working somewhere illegally.  If we can’t get them at the work place, we’ll catch them here.

3.  All illegal immigrants in Federal and State prisons will be deported immediately in the quickest and most convenient way for the people of the United States.  If that means piling them into an eighteen wheeler and dumping them off, then that’s what will have to happen.  If any violent  criminal is found back in the United States of America after being deported, they will be placed on a chain gang for the remainder of their natural life with no pay and clean our roads, pick our produce and make our car tags.  They were given two chances and choose not to honor that.  They are obviously not able to be rehabilitated. It’s called the consequences of your actions.  I know that’s becoming a rare thing, but it’s time!

4.  No child born to illegal immigrants in the United States will have American citizenship.  This is merely a loop hole that our Representatives are refusing to handle.  It’s time that they do.  We are the ONLY country in the world who offers this stupid clause for anchor babies. 

5.   Any employers caught hiring illegal immigrants will be fined $25,000 per incident.  This money will be returned to the welfare budget of the county/state that the incident happened  to replace all that the criminals stole from that area.  There are Americans who actually NEED that money and the government assistance programs are almost broke.  Largely  because of these criminals crossing the border and stealing from our tax programs.

6.  There will be no translators provided at public institutions at tax payer’s expense.  If you can afford your own translator, they’re welcome to come with you to public schools, courtrooms, emergency rooms, etc… If you can’t afford your own, then you’ll have to learn ENGLISH and assimilate into American society.  If not, you know where the border is. Period.  This one is an absolute and I think it’s an embarrassment that it hasn’t been implemented yet.  Why are American taxpayers paying for the schools, the translators and the education of criminals kids who DO NOT want to learn our language?  It makes no sense at all.

7.  The fence along the US/Mexican border would be erected.  ALL OF IT.  The United States service men/women who are RIGHT NOW patrolling, again at OUR expense, South Korea’s border with North Korea would be brought home posthaste and assigned to the Mexican fence.  Any caught trying to cross illegally at ANY point other than the specified crossings, would be shot on sight.  We’ll assume you’re a criminal, drug trafficker or terrorists or you be would crossing at the areas that are fully monitored. 

The fence would have guard dogs along with the patrol as well as cameras that feed to the Internet at all times.  This way, citizens could do their part.  We could watch and report all activity that wasn’t within our Constitution.  After all, this country is run by the American people.  It damn time we took it back. 

Do something besides sit in front of the TV and eat!!  Call every Congressman/women, write them, email your Representative, unless, of course, you want your country to become Mexico…

And for all of you that are worried about that extra ten cents you MAY have to spend on lettuce, why not put all the criminals in state and federal prisons to work?  Wouldn’t that be much better than a bunch of convicted felons sitting around getting angry and contributing nothing to their society?  We’d have the same kind of labor, be teaching them a lesson and we wouldn’t have to use tax money to provide them with cable because they’d have plenty to do.  But, that’s another post, yes?

And for all those that want to add  that there are other illegal immigrants here besides Mexicans, I see your point and acknowledge the truth to that.  However, it’s believed that they make up less than 10% of all illegal criminals.  I would imagine if we implemented these plans, they would most certainly be affected, not to mention that they’d take the hint.  As in most things, the majority is what’s causing the problem and  is the area that should be dealt with most carefully. When we have to press 2 for Polish, we’ll deal with it.

I’ll end with a quote from Teddy Roosevelt that is still relevant to Americans today:

“In the first place we should insist that the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equity with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming an American and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any flag of a nation to which we are hostile. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” Theodore Roosevelt in a letter to the American Defense Society in 1919.

Please use my money to pay for your mortgage…

The government of the United States of America, the people that WE voted into office, have determined that they are going to save us all.  At least that’s what they’re telling us.  Are you buying it?  I’d say that they majority of sheep are most certainly buying it.

Congress has sent a bill over to the House of Representatives that is going to take our tax money and bail out people who bought something they couldn’t afford.  They’ve bought something that was bright and shiny and told in plain English (or just press 2 if you won’t learn our language) that in three to five years your big, bright shiny new toy wouldn’t be THIS much per month, but would be THIS much per month.  The payment on your new toy will go UP in a few years from this much to this much.  Now, they’re claiming they just didn’t understand and they were “tricked”.  Uh-huh.

That’s right, it’s their house.  It’s the house they bought that they just COULDN’T live without. They had to have it.  They knew they could afford it now with this nice low adjustable rate, but only HOPED that they would afford by the time that the rate adjusted.  Well, surprise.  They couldn’t afford it.  So, our government has decided that these people must have been tricked.  Surely, they were deceived by the big, bad mortgage companies and banks that follow FEDERAL regulations. 

Well, I say bullshit.  They weren’t deceived and they weren’t tricked.  They wanted to live higher than their means and they wanted to have the house off MTV cribs that they couldn’t afford.  They wanted it NOW and they got it.  They should have to pay the consequences. Period.

Let’s be clear, if you haven’t read my other posts and you don’t know this already, the government doesn’t make ONE RED CENT.  Not a dime.  That money that they are bailing these idiots out with is my money and your money.  The tax money that our government will be paying for this with is MY money and I don’t want to pay off some morons mortgage.

First of all, they received a good faith estimate.  For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s the estimate of every dime you’ll be spending on your upcoming mortgage that you receive at the FIRST contact with your loan officer.  Up front and before you sign ONE thing.  Then you have 30 to 45 days to close.  During that time, you have an appraisal, possible a survey, possibly a home inspection, you meet attorneys and more time with your loan officer.  Each one of these people go over some portion of information that would let you know if this was or wasn’t a good, solid investment.  We haven’t even touched on if you used a Realtor and that they would go over ALL of this one more time.

Then, at the closing, you receive a folder that is around one inch thick that goes over every one of these things ONE MORE TIME.  In minute detail.  Your payment, your loan, your interest, your appraisal, your HUD statement, your good faith estimate (AGAIN), your interim interest if there’s any,  etc…  It’s NOT rocket science and it’s very clearly defined information.  They understood perfectly and they still choose to purchase these homes.  So, why is it that our government thinks that they have the right to redistribute wealth that way? 

This new bill would give, ya ready?, $300 BILLION (that’s this many zero’s 300,000,000,000.00) to people who made bad choices.  Can you even imagine?  And surely you haven’t convinced yourself that it’s a good thing.  Do you think the government is going to let that money just go away?  Smack yourself for me if you did.  They’ll just tax us MORE. 

And I’ll give you one guess as to who gets to fund these 300,000,000,000.00 in loans.  One guess.  That’s right.  Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  Those are government owned entities.  So, not only do they get more tax money, they get the interest from OUR money on 300,000,000,000.00 dollars.  I just love typing our all those damn zeros!

I have one more warm, fuzzy that goes with this blatant socialist bill.  Gear up, you’ll need it!  The government is ALSO allotting itself quite a few billion to buy foreclosures themselves and fix them up for resale. So, what they’re saying is that they’ll pay off about 400,000 of them for people who were stupid and it’ll divert the American people from the fact that the government just opened the door to purchase housing that they can lease to the American people.  Closer and closer we creep to an Orwellian future. 

I’m sure they’ll rent them at a very cheap rate, too.  At first.  Once they have enough of them, they’ll shoot the rent up and then what?  We’ll have people getting government housing allotments, government food allotments, living on government owned land, having Universal Health Care where the government owns the doctors and all our medicines, etc…  See a pattern?   And just for you Obama, we want change, chanters, he’s one of the biggest proponents of a socialist United States. 

This bill also provides much more relief for those that don’t need relief.  It provides for more than one billion in investor loans that not only will receive a reduced interest rate for purchasing these homes but will also give them a tax credit.  Do you know any investors with that much cash who need a tax break?  Seriously?   And what’s more, it calls for property tax relief for people who don’t itemize.  HUH?  That means that people who have a home that’s paid for, and AREN’T getting foreclosed on, just got another tax deduction.  So, the people who REALLY need the deduction will be making that up on THEIR taxes. 

They are taking from the American people and making most of us dependent in some way on them.  Now, they are taking our money and paying off people’s homes that they can’t afford by their own poor choices.  You know what?  If we continue to allow this crap, maybe we really ARE too stupid to make our own decisions….

George W. Bush hates white people…

I realize that I should probably apologize for that atrocious title, but I find that I simply can’t do it.  I find myself making comparisons to Iowa’s recent disaster and New Orlean’s Hurricane Katrina disaster every time I pick up a paper.   Where’s Kanye now?  Hell, for that matter, where’s the Jolie-Pitt clan, and the Sean Penn’s of the world?  Do they only show up for Chavez and welfare abusers?  It’s almost enough to make you question their…intentions.   But, surely they wouldn’t only show up when the cameras roll out…right?

I keep waiting for all the bleeding liberals to demand that THEY get to fix the problem, with OUR tax money, of course.  And where’s Iowa’s mayors?  Wasn’t that New Orleans one standing in the street screaming like a welfare mom for someone to come help him great entertainment?  And certainly excellent for Reverends Jackson and Sharpton.  Surely there’s something like that to keep us angry, disillusioned and glued to the news.  Or…maybe not.  That’s why you won’t hear much more about it in the future.

So, I feel like it’s important that I write something here that will make people think about something other than the politically correct driven crap you’ll hear from the TV.  You want to know why you haven’t heard about just how awful it’s been in Iowa?  It’s not good TV and it’s not good for the current trend toward socialism in the United States. 

Iowans are picking themselves up by their bootstraps and are more concerned with fixing the problem than if FEMA’s going to show up with a shiny new trailer.  They are more concerned with orchestrating new fields for their corn and soy than if they are going to be relocated, for free (that reads as YOUR tax dollars for people who didn’t and don’t want to work in New Orleans!), to a Chicago hotel for 10 months. 

Do you wonder why we aren’t seeing photos and newsreels of looting, killing and raping?  Well, that’s because, to date, there hasn’t been a single case reported.  NOT ONE.   Are you wondering where the Dixie Chicks, who claim to be from “rural” America, are?   Where’s Spike Lee to help claim that the government must have blown up the levees in Des Monies?  They must be vacationing. 

Or maybe it’s just that when regular, hard working Americans do what they do best, there’s just nothing left to say.  Maybe it’s a lesson that they aren’t ready to learn yet.  When times are hard, you work.  Period.  That, in a nutshell, IS the American dream.  It’s not a hand-out or a free ride.  It’s about doing your best, working your hardest and never, ever, giving up.  It’s got nothing to do with color or George W. Bush.  Those Iowans would have been doing the same thing with or without FEMA’s help.  Obviously.  Either you’ve chosen to have a welfare mentality or you’ve chosen not to.

So for all of you out there who’ve forgotten what it’s like to be truly American…take a long hard look at the recent flooding survivors in Iowa.  They’re a perfect picture of what we used to be.  However, if you’re looking for the “change” that’s coming…remember New Orleans and all the “victims” there.  Being a victim is a choice.  So is being a survivor. 

I know which choice I intend to make.  A big thank you to all the Iowans out there. Thank you to Governor Culver for not declaring that God wants a “vanilla” Iowa.  Thank you to the farmers who saw this as a challenge, not a total failure.  Thank you to the rural, Iowans who know that George W. Bush isn’t hating white people today, nor black people after Katrina. 

Shit happens.  It’s how you handle it that determines who you really are. Waiting for someone else to come and fix your problems just makes you a leech and frankly, deserving of whatever you get.  It’s each individuals own responsibility to do the best that they can with what they’ve got.  So maybe, just maybe, George Bush DOESN’T hate black people, Mr West.  Maybe it’s just time ALL people get off their butts and start taking care of  their business and quit having an entitlement mentality.

Or I could be wrong and maybe he just hates all wet people…

Let there be Light…

I know a lot of Christians who aren’t going to like this post.  I thought it would be best to get that out of the way now.   And I’ll preface my post by  saying that I am a Christian myself. 

I was recently subjected to a rant about the absolute calling that all Christians have to stand up and demand that the United States government get itself some morals.  Ummm….isn’t the government an entity that’s for the people, by the people?  And at last check, ALL the people aren’t Christians.  Not to mention that most of the men and women in the Legislative, Judicial and certainly the Executive branches of our government suck at implementing religious creeds.  Who am I kidding?  They suck at implementing almost everything.  What in the world makes Christians think they’ll do a great job at upholding personal values for other people?  Insanity.

The person vomiting their religious spew upon me was quite adamant that all Gay’s should die, all abortionists are headed straight to hell and that anyone who would not drop to their knees and profess that the Bible is absolute, and literal, truth was within mere moments of a sulfuric and outstandingly hot future.  But most important in their religious rant was that the government should be the one to implement such policies, posthaste.  Well, I’m fairly certain that God Himself isn’t interested in turning over His job to the United States government just yet.  So, I’ll tell you the same thing that I told them…

First and foremost, the government isn’t capable of preaching ANY gospel, much less spreading any good news.  It’s not what they are designed for nor is it what they are responsible for.  The United States government’s job encompasses nothing more than promoting the general welfare and providing for the common defense of the American people. Period.  They are not in place to promote any one religion.  The thought is absolutely ridiculous.

I then explained to my shocked audience of one that it’s not that difficult to look around and see that the James Dobson’s of the world are causing more harm than good.  If it’s homosexuality that the Christian fanatics want less of, then perhaps they should look around and see the way they are going about it is all wrong. 

Ten years ago, there weren’t gays kissing on TV and the institute of marriage wasn’t under such scrutiny.  So how’s that homosexual hate working for you, guys?  Catch a clue, already.  And don’t give me the “it’s the devil” crap.  It’s not the devil, folks. It’s asking an entity to promote an individuals decision.  It hasn’t, and won’t, ever work.   That’s good old fashioned stupidity.  See the difference?

And besides, why do you care who’s sleeping with whom?  How’s it affecting you in any way?  Well, I’ll tell you how it’s going to affect you soon if you don’t shut up.  Once the government can become involved in gay marriage, they can also become involved in your straight one. That’s how it works.  The door is open for the government to come in and tell you what you can and can’t do in your own bedroom.  Hell, in my state oral sex is already banned.  How is that any business of the state and federal governments?  

And about abortions…are people still getting diverted from the real issues by getting hung up on this one?  Face it, if women want to spread their legs and then not take personal responsibility because they couldn’t say no or were too embarrassed to buy some latex, they’ll get pregnant at some point.  Nothing the law ever says will stop abortions.  Nothing.  These pathetic women will just go to some butcher and do it that way.  It’s history people. Pick up a book occasionally. 

Political and religious aspirations won’t stop abortions and Christians and other religions are chasing their tails trying to get their views passed.  And what’s more…they’ve already lost one time. You have heard of Roe vs Wade, right?   Take the blinders off and realize that abortion platforms are smoke screens to hide the issues that are taking away your freedoms and your civil liberties. 

Now, on to the good stuff.  When Christians began their crusade to push the government into handling religious issues, what they actually accomplished was in forcing the government to really listen to every single personal issue to come down the pipe.  How would  Christians feel if we were forced to travel to Mecca once in our lifetime?  How about our kids being forced to kneel five times a day facing east while attending a school that our tax money paid for?  Sounds crazy, right?  Well, isn’t that exactly what you’re demanding everyone else who doesn’t believe in Jesus do?  I have news for you, that sounds just as crazy to someone who doesn’t believe the way that you believe.  And they are and will continue to fight that.  It’s their American right to do so and I’m glad of it.

Pushing personal views into the public arena is what got prayer taken out of school in the first place.  If you’d hush and allow people to live their lives and make their choices, you’d still be able to pray.  Are you ever going to learn?

It’s time that true and genuine light was shed on some of these issues.  Jesus didn’t try to change the government. It’s what the Israelites wanted then, too.  He changed the people.  He touched individual lives. Not the government.  That’s what we’re called to do, also.  We’re not called to run around trying to make the government do something that’s our job.  How lazy and pathetic is that?

It’s time that fanatical Christians stop shooting doctors and start volunteering their time at pregnancy clinics. It’s time that denominations aren’t talked about as much as truth is talked about.  It’s time that fanatics stop demanding that everyone do things THEIR way and start doing things the way God said to do them.   And it begins with us.  It begins with personal responsibility and eyes that are wide open.

Look around and really see.  Look around and recognize that the problem isn’t in laws that adhere to truth and dignity.  It’s when people stop adhering to truth, grace and dignity that we’ve had such a problem.  The light on a hill wasn’t referring to Capital Hill. It was referring to individuals.  It’s time to quit following along like  sheep and become individuals again. 

It’s time that people recognize that you can’t push yourself and your views on someone else.  God Himself can’t even do that…

 

Jeremiah Wright and I, have a dream….

Jeremiah Wright and I both have a dream.  Granted, they aren’t the same one.  Mr. Wright has once again reclaimed the spotlight for his 15 minutes and he is positively tickled pink.  Not to mention, completely and utterly insane.

Rev. Wright is on the race path once again.  This weekend, while doing his little tour, he seemed fairly…normal.  Then, in a rather shocking display, he once again makes Obama wish he’d sent this village idiot on a trip to…..say…Africa?   Sorry, couldn’t resist.

This morning during the National Press Club meeting, Rev. Wright, summarily lost his mind.  With ranting and raving being a polite way to describe his loss of control, he once again, showed his truest colors.   During the question and answer period of this mornings performance…er…meeting,  Jeremiah Wright has quite possibly ruined Obama’s chances for winning over the middle class working white man.  Which, whether he likes it or not, is relevant in an American Presidential election.

-”I stand before you to open up this two-day symposium with the hope that this most recent attack on the black church is not an attack on Jeremiah Wright; it is an attack on the black church. … The most recent attack on the black church, it is our hope that this just might mean that the reality of the African-American church will no longer be invisible.”

WOW!  I was unaware that Christ left a “black” church and a “white” church.  I thought that Christians just served the ONE God.  Perhaps the Rev. should get a clue.  HE’S the problem.  And don’t you just hate people who talk in third person?   Pompous much?

“God doesn’t bless everything. God condemns some things. And dem, D-E-M, is where we get the word damn. God damns some practices and there’s no excuse for the things that the government, not the American people, have done. That doesn’t make me not like America or unpatriotic.”

You’re right, Mr. Wright. God DOESN’T bless everything.  He really hates judging. That’s His job from everything I’ve read.  God doesn’t particularly care for haughtiness or unforgiveness either.  And let’s be clear.  You’ve got nothing to forgive, Rev.  You were never a slave. You don’t know any slaves. You aren’t related to anyone who IS a slave.  And you’ve never seen slavery.  Get over yourself, dude.  Seriously.

“The Christianity of the slave owner is not the Christianity of the slave.”

I’m sure God’s glad to hear he’s got two groups to house when they get there. I’m quite sure, He’ll be shocked to hear it.

I’m always amazed when I hear this type of racism.  I’m amazed at a man who has millions of dollars scream about his mistreatment.  I’m floored that people actually eat it up.  Because I see things totally differently.

I see affirmative action as an insult.  Don’t get me wrong, it may have been warranted at one point.  For about 15 minutes or so.  Affirmative action only gives affirmation to racism and allows it to continue.  It basically implies that anyone of any minority is too stupid and pathetic to make it on their own. Which simply isn’t the case. It implies that ALL whites will discriminate. Which simply is NOT the case. 

The NAACP is a complete embarrassment to anyone of color.  How can you possibly be proud of Rev. Wright or Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton?  These men are complete and utter morons that Martin Luther King, Jr. would be humiliated to be associated with.  Do you know anything at all about what Dr. King stood for?  Have you researched this man at all?   It’s mind boggling.

What exactly do you want Rev. Wright?  What exactly are you looking for?  In his pathetic show he states that Britain has apologized for slavery.  Where’s the American apology?   Are you retarded man?  Seriously?  Slavery has been over for hundreds of years.  It’s over.  Get a grip.  No one in America owes you anything. It’s THAT mentality that has kept anyone in the black community down.  Nothing more and nothing less.

Did Tiger Woods need affirmative action to succeed?  How about Oprah?  She’s practically her own religion and she’s bitching about how “her people” are mistreated.  That’s gonna work better if you AREN’T the richest woman in the world, honey. Get a new line.  How about Micheal Jordan?  or Condoleeza Rice?  or Colin Powell?  or Tyra Banks?  or Halle Berry?  The list is endless. 

It’s time to end racism in EVERY form.  That starts at home Rev. Wright.  So, I too, have a dream.  My dream is that you’ll have a massive heart attack tonight and get yourself out of the gene pool.  You’ve caused enough damage with your 15 minutes.  My dream is that the black community will listen to Dr. King’s I have a dream speech and pretend you don’t exist. Just maybe, you’ll go away.

My dream is that we’ll lose the Ms. Black America and just have Ms. America.  My dream is that we’ll lose BET and just go for everybody TV.  My dream is that America will eventually get over the past, while not forgetting it. 

My dream is that someday we all really will be judged by the contents of our character and not by the color of ANY of our skins.  That would mean you couldn’t have a “black church” Mr. Wright.  Because then…..it would just be church.  You and Jesse and Al couldn’t have that though, could you?  It would mean you were out of a job.  After all, who wants to hear an angry, black man in a church about love and togetherness?  Couldn’t have that for a minute, could you?

It’s time that we all wake up and tune these kinds of men and women out. Let them know that we as Americans will no longer stand for someone who consistently blames color for poverty.  We need to scream and yell that we will no longer allow people to stand and falsely accuse someone of going to jail based solely on their color. If they committed a crime, THAT’S why they’re going to jail.  Every heard of personal responsibility?   Try it on for size.

I think that Rev. Jeremiah Wright loves the black community almost as much as O.J. Simpson loved Nicole….

 

 

 

 

 

Can you smell what Barack is cooking?

I decided that instead of just despising everything that Barack Hussein Obama stood for, I’d research him a little and see what I could find that I didn’t already know.  Turns out, there was quite a bit.  Some not as bad as I thought, the rest….well, it was much worse.

It turns out that Barack really isn’t a closet Muslim. I think we all knew that. It also turns out that he isn’t quite the good old boy that he portrays himself to be either.  I think we all knew that, as well.  Well, except for those really hard core, almost sad, doe-eyed followers. They probably still think he’s the quintessential mixed kid that made good after a life of hardship and prejudice.  They won’t believe anything else anyway, so I’ll just ignore them altogether.

He really was born in Hawaii to an African father and white American mother.  That’s a real African there. Not an “African-American”.  Whatever the hell that is. His father left his mother when Barack was 2.  His mother, while continuing her education, met and married Barack’s step-father.  A lot of Barack’s truth seemed to stop there.

His step-father and mother then moved young Barack to Indonesia.  It was here that the fanatical Muslim rumors got started.  He really did go to a predominantly Muslim school for a while. Indonesia is predominantly Muslim so that’s no surprise. It wasn’t a fanatical school then or now.  However, he also attended a Catholic school while in Indonesia.  He’s been quite clear that his mother really didn’t care one way or another about religion.  I think his real views align rather well with hers.  While he may attend Mr. Jeremiah Wright’s church, I think it’s fairly clear that he’s mainly interested in the black power that’s preached there. Someone in Barack’s position doesn’t have ”mentors” that they don’t know exactly where they stand. 

At age 10, his mother then sent him back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents and attend Panahou School.  It was here, that Barrack says he experienced racism.  Before we cover that little gem though, let’s be clear on all these schools that poor underprivileged Barack attended.  Every single one of them were and are, private, expensive schools.  In Indonesia, Barack’s school was the same one that the highest official in the land sent his grandchildren to.  Barack’s step-father was an oil merchant.  He did not suffer.

The Hawaiian Panahou School that he attended was and is one of the most elite in the country. They are consistently ranked in the top 10 schools in the United States.  Barack maintains that he attended there on a scholarship. And you know what?  Yes, he did.  After attending the first year, he did receive an academic scholarship. He in no way received aid of any kind. They do not accept it.  His statements are intentionally misleading.  I’d say they border closely with lying.  See, him and Hillary really do have more than socialism in common.

While in Panahou School, Barack maintains that he was exposed consistently to racism.  Now, I’m not sure how much you know about Hawaii, but I’d say that’s pretty far fetched.  Hawaii has one of the most mixed and diverse populations anywhere in the United States.  There’s a mix of virtually every kind on those islands.  I’m not saying he NEVER heard a racist comment.  But, I would say to him, join the club. There’s not a person on the planet who hasn’t heard one or two.  Some more than others, but I’d be willing to bet, he isn’t one of the ones who’d fall under the “more” category.

Now…let’s get to his “political” career.  Barack is a lawyer.  He used that to his benefit in 1996. That was the year that Barack ran for his first Democratic primary.  He was essentially, unchallenged.  Illinois is a Democratic state. Flat out.  So he’s never really faced any Republican challenge at all.   The original Republican just dropped out of this race and the party basically  threw Alan Keyes, with no money, into the mix.  Barack then challenged every piece of paperwork the other Democrats filed in the hopes of finding any that was incorrect.  I’d say that there isn’t a piece of government paperwork that is EVER correct and he knew that.  All three of the other Democrats had mis-filed their petition paperwork and were eliminated.  Barack Hussein Obama is now the “winner”. 

While it could be argued that he was “right”, I’d disagree. I’d say he won by bureaucratic default.  Aren’t elections about who the people want?  Without a single vote being cast, he’s the only guy on the field. Doesn’t seem very American does it?  He was placed in position by “election officials”.  Nice!

During his Presidential campaign, Barack has, time and again, quoted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Who, in my opinion, is one of the greatest men to ever live.  Oddly enough though, it’s Malcolm X with whom Barack most closely related until his bid for the Presidency.  Obama has said, “His repeated acts of re-creation, spoke to me.”  Well, he is all about “change”.  It was during his college years that he began to really relate to Malcolm X and began to go by Barack Hussein Obama instead of the “Barry” that he was called from his childhood. 

Now, let’s be clear.  I don’t care if he’s more about Malcolm’s way or Martin’s way.  What I do care about is that until he began to run for POTUS, he never mentioned MLK, Jr. Not once, ever.  Now, because most of America can identify more with one than the other, he changes his tune.  However, I do not believe for one minute that he has changed his mind about which one of these men he more closely identifies with.

Barack Obama has, in all the ways that matter, lived a privileged life.  Swanky, private schools.  International travel.  Harvard Law School.  An uncontested first Senate run.  Plenty of money, family and education. 

How can this man and his wife, never have been proud of their country?  For you two people out there who haven’t heard about it, Barrack and his wife, Michelle, have stated on more than one occasion that this is the first time they can be proud of their country.  WOW!  So, you weren’t moved when we negotiated the Cold War and brought down that wall?  You weren’t impressed in the tiniest bit to know that we landed on the moon?  Or when we showed up in Sri Lanka after the Tsunami?  You don’t feel the tiniest shred of pride when you see how many people benefit from our medical advancements?  When those towers fell, you weren’t impressed at all with how all American’s united and wept?    Hmmm…..

So the only time you’re proud is when a mixed man with every monetary benefit in the world has an opportunity to be President?  I’d say that’s not saying much about you then.  And certainly doesn’t say much about the people who are rushing to hear your crap.

Can you smell what Barack is cooking?   It’s a little charisma, with a little aesthetically pleasing, a lot of charm, a pinch of lies and a huge heaping of bovine scatology.  And I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be fed that no matter how it’s seasoned. 

I haven’t even touched on Barack’s little tendencies toward socialism.  It was Karl Marx who said that religion is the opiate of the masses and Obama who said that bitter, small town people cling to religion.  I’d say narcissism may be Barack’s opiate, but that’s just me.

I haven’t touched on his multi-billion dollar bill for Africa.  I haven’t touched on his comments that middle American is mostly just hung up on God and guns.  I haven’t touched on his penchant for intentionally leaving out his white heritage.  I haven’t touched on his incredible tendency to say one thing and actually do another.  I haven’t touched on his rather ghastly array of pals.  One or two with a past of bombing American buildings. 

Barack Obama is second only to Bill Clinton in his ability to completely avoid the question.  His lack of experience is simply astounding for someone running for the most powerful position on the planet. It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee America.  This man is NOT the man for President.  Stop voting with your uninformed heart and engage your brain. 

I’ll leave you with a quote from Dr. King that, I think, sums up Obama’s potential voters pretty well:

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance or conscientious stupidity.”  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Gods and Monsters…

Recently, someone suggested to me that I should use all the political information that I can’t seem to stop gathering, to inform others. I think she may have been on to something.

While the American political machine is primarily dominated by two parties, our government actually consists of five active parties. The unknown three are referred to as “third” parties in government language.  Most people are familiar with the Republican and Democratic parties, but few are aware of the remaining three.

The most active third party is the Libertarian party.  The most famous and most current Libertarian, is Ron Paul. Libertarians views are free-trade, non-interventionism in foreign policy, tight border control,  very strong civil liberties and active travel to all countries. This party really looks at the Constitution and wants to follow in it’s footsteps. They desire as little government in people’s lives as possible. Without fail, this is the party that I most closely identify with.  The government has no place in individual lives.

The Green Party is another third party that does occasionally show up on local levels. They push strongly for environmental reform. They also believe strongly in opening the borders because they are all about peace and love.   Frankly, I couldn’t give a crap less how the trees are doing if we’re being pushed into poverty or having to give my money to illegals. 

 Green houses gases aren’t going to matter if we’re all slaves to a government gone bad.  I’d rather be dead than have them searching my home because they felt like it. So bring on the melted ice!  It’ll wipe out the Kennedy’s, too.  And that’s all I need to know to feel better about it.

The latest addition is the Constitution Party.  The name is somewhat of a misnomer considering that our country was founded for the right to religious freedom. Well, and the fact that the King of England was killing the ones who wouldn’t do things his way.  That’s beginning to sound vaguely familiar here as well….But I digress. 

The Constitution Party believes that the Constitution was written from a Bible based platform.  They also believe that the Bill of Rights was as well.  They would see all freedoms of any other religion gone.  That doesn’t sound anything like the Constitution nor Bill of Rights that I’ve read.  But, it’s their right as American’s to believe what they’d like. Ain’t America great? 

We have a system of gods and monsters.  We have 5 parties, but only 2 have electorial votes. We have a system designed for freedom that’s being raped by ordinary men and women who have become political and power hungry monsters.  Men and women who view themselves as gods.  Men and women who WE have elected to control everything in our lives. 

The government was not and is not intended to be run the way it is running.  The executive branch is taking over the legislative branch and assigns positions to the judicial branch.  The legislative branch is changing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to the point that they no longer resemble what they were intended for.  And all they while, people who know they are monsters, merely cover their faces and pretend they are still gods…

We have a nation of sheep who has found themselves with a government filled with wolves.  It’s time that we as a people turn and find our way.  There cannot be gods and monsters who rule. There can only be men.  We’ve lost that.  It’s not slogans that we need, it’s action.

Ironically, I’m choosing to end this with a quote by one of the worst President’s to ever sit in office.  Franklin D. Roosevelt said:   

“The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the government.”

We have lost our way. 

For those of you that don’t understand why I’d say FDR is one of the worst monsters to ever take office:  He is the god of the oval office who implemented stealing your money via Social Security. 

I’ll go with H.L. Mencken any day:

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman’s club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave.

Resistance is NOT futile.

 

 

 

 

 

It’s almost 1984…

Not too long ago, I re-read Orwell’s cryptic, scary and quite possibly clairvoyant, 1984.  I remember the first time that I read it, it gave me nightmares.  Today, it just makes me that much more determined to continually speak out against what’s become of the American government. Although I’ll admit, it still gives me nightmares, too.

In Orwell’s book, the populace was brainwashed.  In the book, 1984, the scariest slogan that they are subjected to is that “Slavery IS Freedom”.  Everything in their lives is geared to reinforce this and support it.  Today’s slogan “Big Brother is Watching” comes from Orwell’s book. 

There are camera’s placed behind pictures and in every corner. Even in public homes. The TV’s will no longer turn off and continually play only governmentally regulated programs that are designed to reinforce their “anthems”.  Citizens are not allowed to go outside areas that are not regulated by the government. All housing, food, clothing, etc…is regulated by Big Brother. 

“War is peace”.  Another favorite of Orwell’s fictitious government.  “Ignorance is Strength.”  Pushed heavily by Orwell’s Big Brother.  To write the word, “I”, is against the law in Orwell’s world of 1984.

While we made it past 1984, we didn’t make it far. 

Obama and Hillary both push “Universal Health Care”.   War is promoted as a means for peace.  There’s irony there I’m sure.  Michelle Obama is telling women to forgo college because it’s just too expensive.  Go into public service work instead.  Serve the “common” good.  Hillary is telling the wealthy that sometimes things just have to be taken from you to help others out.  Every president for the last 40 years, outside Reagan, has had the same agenda as the one before.

The Patriot Act, there’s more irony for you, has taken away personal rights and no one seems to care.  The government is spying on perfectly average citizens and no one says a word.  After all, it’s just Big Brother.  They wouldn’t hurt us.  Slavery IS Freedom. 

We are forced to give our personal money to Social Security and welfare recipients, whether you want to or not.  We are forced to pay into Medicare and Medicaid, whether we receive it or not.  We are forced into paying taxes on money that we earn. Regardless of what the original Constitution said the government could do.  And no one seems to care.

After re-reading Orwell’s classic work, I had to wonder if he knew something, even then, that others didn’t.  Did he know some of the Mason’s or Skulls of his day?  Did he get some piece of info that he knew he could never publish, so he worked up 1984 instead?  I doubt it.  I’m not a big conspiracy theorist. But, I have to admit, we’re getting almost eerily close to what can only be described as an Orwellian future. 

Wake up, America.  Turn the TV off and get out and change this before the TV will not longer turn off.  Oh!  That’s right!  We’re already going to HDTV’s.  Wonder if the definition is high enough for the government to see us clearly?  Since they are forcing us to have it, I’d say it’s a strong possibility…

Thoughts on Iraq…

I usually don’t sit down and really think out a post.  When you do that, you censor everything you write.  I thought about this post a lot. But, I’m not going to censor anything that I write.  What I found was that I had quite a few contradictory thoughts on Iraq.

First, I don’t believe in this war at all. I think it’s time that we, as Americans, demand that our government stop being the police of the world and begin to take care of the American people.  Period. 

 I don’t particularly care if the border in South Korea is patrolled or not, but it pisses me off that it’s American soldiers doing the patrolling. I don’t care if Iran gets plutonium or not. The facts are that Israel is the 13th richest nation in the world and has almost as much nuclear capability as the United States. Any attack on them will result in a country or two disappearing off the face of the planet in about 2 minutes.  Those are the real facts.  The United States should let them handle their own problems.

However, I am glad that Saddam is dead.  No, he didn’t actually do anything to me or anyone in the US.  But, Ted Bundy didn’t bite my nipples off either and I’m still glad HE’S dead, too. 

I think Saddam was an absolutely evil dictator who deserved to die. I think that he hurt his people and promoted absolute tyranny. I just don’t think it was our business. I do believe this war was about oil.  I’m not sure that bothers me overly much, though. After all, aren’t most of the countries on the planet dependent on that particular resource?  Would you really want China controlling it?  Or Russia?  After all, Russia has enough of their own. The Saudi’s have most of it already and they are the biggest promoters of terror anywhere in the world. I certainly don’t want them having anymore.  

I think that what bothers me the most about this war is that we’re building those 8 bases in Iraq.  We already have bases all over the world that the American tax payer is funding.  The Constitution clearly says that the government’s job is to promote the general welfare and provide for the common defense.  For those idiots out there who’ve convinced themselves that we need bases all over the world, get a clue already.

Japan is doing fine; we should back the heck out.  Europe is fine; it’s time to bring that money home.  Korea is fine; they’ll have to work out their own border problems.  Panama is fine.  After all, Carter has already given them the Canal that we paid for. What more do they want?  Vietnam was almost a bigger mess then Iraq. What the hell are we still doing there?

 It’s gonna be the exact same in Iraq.  We’re building bases to camp out for the next 100 years. Or at least until China takes over.  And that’s just what’s gonna happen people if we don’t get our money back in the States.  Deal with it already. Get your ass off the couch and quit watching Friends reruns long enough to catch the train.

We’re borrowing millions, that’s with this many zero’s… 1,000,000.00, every single month from China to finance this war. That’s right. CHINA! And we’ll have to pay it back. Or speak Chinese eventually.  I really don’t want to learn Chinese, or Spanish, or any other language. I want my America back. 

This war is just the beginning.  It’s time for a complete Revolution.  And for all you out there who don’t know it, we have the American right to overthrow our own government if they piss us off badly enough.  And that doesn’t come from the Constitution. That’s our Bill of Rights.  The Constitution tells the government what they can and most importantly what the CAN’T do.  They’ve ignored it for long enough.

I don’t particularly care what the rest of the world thinks about us. I don’t care if they agree or don’t agree with this war. After all, if we pulled all the food, medicine, technology, medical aid, military, money, charity, etc… out from under them, they’d come running back.  For all you who doubt that, check out what happened in Mexico when we just withheld their corn supply. It was total anarchy. And that was just when we were trying to find better uses for ethanol. The OTHER thing the world wants to bitch at us about.

What I do care about is that the world’s affairs are really none of our business. I’m not talking about isolationism. I’m talking about allowing the world to figure out their own problems and for the United States to begin to function as a nation again. Not an empire. Please note, every empire to ever exist has fallen.  I do not want my tax money to be a crutch for the world anymore. You’ll have to get your own.  For me, that includes the Iraqi’s.

I hate that they’ve been through a tough time. I hate that we’ve destroyed as much as we’ve built. I hate that we’ve lost American men and women in uniform to this stupid war. But, what I hate worse is that we’re not learning from our mistakes.  And now, we’re down to three candidates who are, in all the ways that matter, virtual triplets of each other. And twins with George Bush. It’s insanity at it’s worst.

What I sincerely hope is that what this war leads us to is an overthrowing of a government out of control.  What I hope is that this war leads us to the realization that we really ARE the strongest nation on the planet. We can quit trying to prove it now.   Let’s get down to the business at hand, and do what Americans are best at….surviving.  Surviving through the hardest of times and  grasping onto freedom with both hands and refusing to let go.  

Let’s show the world what we’re really about.  Let’s show them that freedom is an ideal. An ideal that most Americans will fight to the death for.  Even if they have to fight their own government to have it. Let’s stop fighting everyone else’s battles and let’s focus on our own…
