THE 2009 VOTE, A PEOPLE’S VICTORY!

 

            My belief and pride in the American people, have been rejuvenated. Just when I began to believe that, those on the East side of America had abandoned the American beliefs, which actually originated in the East, Eastern Americans showed Constant and Determination to the rest of America; they showed that American grit still exists.

            That those in Washington are listening showed immediately, as if with precognition to the outcome of yesterdays elections before the ballots were counted, Senator Reid stepped behind a microphone and all but assured Americans that the Health Care Takeover, would have to wait until next year.

“We’re not going to be bound by any timelines,” said Majority Leader Harry Reid (D), referring to Obama’s demand to have a Health Care Bill passed by the end of the year. However Reid (D) will have a hard time being reelected himself in 2010, and took note of what happened in the Vote of 2009.

            The once slumbering American Spirit has awakened and found its country heading toward a cliff in a fast moving vehicle, and a radical’s foot pushing hard on the pedal, with little or no indication that the radical sees or even cares about the dangers approaching.

            I believe the 2008 vote that put Obama in office was an anomaly, unlike what took place in Virginia and New Jersey of 2009. Charles Krauthammer said it best, in the 2008 election “the stars where perfectly aligned for the Democrats.”

So Americans ignored the obvious and hoped for change, of the unrealistic kind, only to find themselves threatened by nuclear armed dictators roaming the world, record high unemployment, and an economy teetering. Not to mention engaging in a war were the new Commander-in-Chief enacted a new war strategy, with a newly appointed General. Only to ignore the recommendation set forth by his General, and express his understanding of what victory is by describing it this way…

“I’m always worried about using the word ‘victory,’

because, you know, it invokes this notion of

Emperor Hirohito coming down

and signing a surrender to MacArthur.”

Barack Obama

I thought our victory over the Japanese was a good thing.

At any rate, the American Spirit lives within the heart of America, and a shot has been fired over the bow of the political ship filled with elitist, who judge themselves above the fray.

These Untouchables have been warned.

But who listens to a nobody like me? I’m just a voice crying in the wilderness, torn by the turn in which my country has taken. Frightened for the future of my children and the country I will leave them.

I can’t fight on the battle field because my diabetes prevents me from doing so, or as God is my witness, I would be there. My wife and I have just enough money to support our family, pay our mortgage, put food on the table and give what we can, to what we believe, when we can.

I like to write, and though I am no Thomas Sowell, Charles Krauthammer or Bill Kristol, I have an opinion, and have believed for a long time that one voice, one vote, can make a difference.

So ignore me if you will politicians. Call me a radical for attending a Tea Party, accuse me of being mere Astroturf and a wearer of swastika’s, that’s fine. When me, and other silent majority such as myself, are done selecting our candidates in 2010…

…those who choose to fundamentally change our society…

 …will become a part of the 10% unemployed.

Health Care: Ideology Takeover

  

            How is it that more than half of the American public disagree with what’s going on in Washington, the Takeover Of Health Care By The Government, can go unheeded by our, Government Funded Representatives?

            Ideology…

            The power hungry in Washington understand that once they get their claws into the Health Care System, they will control 1/6th or more, of the American economy. In that, they will control so much of our financials that they will control our very lives. They will add more money to their kitty and control more and more of those willing to do anything for a buck, or those who are in such great need that they can’t do without the government aid. And not to mention, a large group of people inevitably becoming dependent on that Government assistance. If you doubt that, take a look at those living on welfare.

            The first step toward socialism, is a dependence on Government medical care. It’s easy and on its face, it’s free. However, when taxes are raised to match that of Canada, the mindset of Americans could become one of complacency.

Hell, I cannot believe that the minority of those who agree with this Government Takeover are not outraged that we start paying NOW! for a Health Care System that will not go in effect until 2015!

            Americans have been fighting against this Health Care Takeover for a great many years. Click, Ronald Reagan  to hear him speak out against Socialized Medicine in 1961.

            We defeated it then, we can defeat it again.

            If you think that they will cut waste, stop fraud and never intrude on our day-to-day living, you are a fool.

            There is not one example of a US Government program that runs efficiently, not one. For Christ Sake, they cannot even get a flu vaccine ready in time to vaccinate the American public, let alone control a Health Care Program.

I know, Obama said it is the manufactures fault.

Right!

I thought Obama was the President, the Leader of the free world.

When he passes the buck like that, he’s acting like a ‘Man-child’. He is providing all the proof any should need to realize that allowing the Government to take charge of our Health Care System, is giving power to those who are willing to blame all others for the eventual failure forthcoming in this massive Takeover.

The ideology of those in Washington is that Government is the answer, when our Founding Fathers knew, from experience that, not Government, but the people are the answers to those things that trouble us. The Founding Fathers understood that if you had an idea, present it to the people, if the majority agrees, then it can be enacted. If it fails to incorporate the majority, then it needs to halted and re-presented so that those who failed to grasp its meaning could have time too better understand it, and perhaps persuaded.

If a man in Washington tells you he knows better than the People do, fear that man, for he thinks more of his ideology, than what the people think.

I refuse to believe that this Health Care Bill will get through Washington, for I believe more in the American People, than any Power Hungry Politician sitting high upon the hill in Washington, looking down at the American people with contempt for daring to disagree with what he thinks is best for the masses.

A VENTING: THE DEVIL’S PROMISE

 

            This article is in no way an endorsement to any religion, but merely an effort to point out the understanding of a lie. An attempt to get you to see that the understanding of a lie dates back to the days when the meaning of a lie could be highlighted in one of the most famous and most read books in history, the bible.

            If you are not a religious person, please look at this as a well-written story that attempted to get all to see that, the lie is an old trick, which if worded correctly, could convince the most naive or innocent, to avoid the truth, when presented in a desirable manner. All the liar has to comprehend, are the wants and desires of the flexible, and all he has to do then, is twist and turn his lie, so that it becomes pleasing to the wants of the excepting ear.

            According to the bible, Satan, the Devil, authored the lie. His tongue was as smooth as silk and with his ability to speak with such conviction, he was able convinced the knowledgeable to doubt what they knew to be truth.

            It was Satan, who promised that men could become gods if they would only go against that which they knew to be forbidden. Satan was able to convince those who lived in Paradise that Paradise, was anything but.

Now the serpent was more subtle

than any beast of the field

which the LORD God had made.

And he said unto the woman,

“Yea, hath God said,

Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”

And the woman said unto the serpent,

“We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

But of the fruit of the tree

which is in the midst of the garden,

God hath said,

Ye shall not eat of it,

neither shall ye touch it,

lest ye die.”

And the serpent said unto the woman,

“Ye shall not surely die:

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof,

then your eyes shall be opened,

and ye shall be as gods,

knowing good and evil.”

            So you have to ask the question, why would those who lived in Paradise, choose to be cast out of this perfect place? Why would they believe the lie, why would they throw away a life that had been good to them, a life that provided all they could ever ask for?

            Well, in its simplistic reasoning, it was because of the promise, rooted in a lie.

            Satan promised Eve she would not die, that her eyes would open, that she would be equal to her God, and that she would know, good and evil.

            Eve was naïve and had lived in bliss for far to long, she could not find it in herself to believe that anyone would lie to her. Life was easy, outside of the normal day to day activities and challenges a day might bring, she believed that nothing would ever take her away from the only life she had ever known. And possibly she believed, that if it did change, how bad could it be?

            Americans, living in the comfort of a society built on the backs of many. From every walk of life many have come to partake in the fruit of America’s tree. A society not perfect, but the youth of our nation and the possibilities ever present, leaves the rest of the world wanting and desiring what we have, and yet…

            …many Americans dare to dream of, recreating, our society based on nothing more than a lie. A lie, told over and over again, until many have come to believe it to be true.

            Our history is marred in bloodshed, a history similar to ever other great society throughout history. So you see, we are no different in our creation than any other society, except in one respect. From pauper to prince is common to any one willing to put forth the effort to achieve. Nothing is guaranteed, except, the hope and the opportunity. The rest is up to the individual and even then, not guaranteed.

            So why, I ask, have so many Americans begun to believe the great lie?

            Are we truly an arrogant nation, with a history so vile that a total makeover of our society is necessary? Has America oppressed so many, that we can ignore the, so many, that have walked away from an oppressed living, that we should reshape our society.

            I am one who lived his entire life, a poor man; I have never been able to live beyond that of a middle class individual. I am one rich in friends and family but poor in finances, so my value lies within those around me, and I’m OK with that. I was born poor and have lived from paycheck to paycheck my adult life. It was my mother who taught me that if you want something, she would say, “find a way to get it because I can’t help you. Besides, it’s your life, find a way to get what you want. Just do it respectfully,” she pleaded. “Because you reap what you sow,” she warned.

            According to many, the color of my skin should have put limitations on me that forbid me from ever do so many of the things I’ve done in my life, and yet here I am, the experienced one.

            I fell in love with America a long time ago, in a time when many men of color where rebelling and criticizing…

…except one.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Criticize he did. Rebel, he did not. Dr. King did not go about selling the lie of how terrible America was. He spoke of the goodness and possibilities this nation had to offer. He was a black man, unable to sit at the front of a bus, or eat in certain diners, or drink from a given water fountain and yet he found the right and goodness, in America.

Remember that the Devils lie is geared toward your weaknesses’. It tells you what you want to hear and promises you that, all you need do is eat from the forbidden tree and all will be made right. Only a fool would dare believe such foolishness.

If it promises you something for nothing, it is a lie.

If it destroys opposition to its belief, then it is hardly anything worth believing in.

If it promises the same for Paul as it does for Peter, then you have to believe that Paul and Peter are, one and the same.

If a man lies to you, and you believe his lie and you later find his lie to be untrue, shame on him…

…if he lies to you a second time and you find it be untrue and you believe him again, shame on you.

In the history of the world, no nation has done what American has done, in such a short period of time. So, without doubt, one has to believe that the success of this nation is based on a philosophy founded in truth.

So ask yourself, is eating of the tree in the midst of the garden worth it? Do we hand over our freedom of self to a government that is all self-serving?

Remember the Devils lie…

…we are not gods, just simple beings with self-determining rights. Rights that should never be taken away by anyone. Let alone, given away freely by the individual.

I would rather be a fisherman who goes home some nights without a catch, after a long day of casting my line, than one who waits in line for a fish dinner to be portioned out to me, by a server who draws a paycheck based on my need to eat.

Trouble Knocking At America’s Door

 

            I think it’s the fact that I’ve lived long enough to see my country change dramatically over the last 10 years. Being born in a time when America struggled to find itself amidst ingrained hatred amongst its people. I’ve seen America grow from an infancy state of mind, a society new to the idea that America was truly a melting pot. I grew up listening to leaders, in all spectrums; speak of America as the greatest country ever formed, in the history of the world.

            America was the envy of the world, the one place where people that lived in the most remote parts of the globe, desired to come and take part in the fruits of prosperity America had to offer.

            Our leaders, in the past, understood that America was no paradise, but a home with promise, and hope.

            Then something happened.

            Christmas became controversial and Christianity was ridiculed. The pledge of allegiance no longer had any meaning and the American flag became a thing dropped on the ground and left to rot where it lay, no longer the symbolism of a great nation.

            The Constitution became a, living thing, which had little significance to those who no longer desired to abide by its principles, except when it suited their purpose.

            Newly settled immigrants to America had little desire to become an American, but instead, insisted that America become similar to that which they desperately escaped.

            Some Americans, whose roots run deep into the American soil, began to feel that change was needed, that our now wealthy society could transform from one that demanded individual responsibility to one where, it is never, my fault.

            Nearly every living being desires a comfort, an ease that affords them the opportunity to live life with less troubles and more of everything, than they probably deserve.

            A segment of our society has realized the value in, minimal conflict. The world has become so vast with human life, that those who deem minimal conflict a commodity prey on society by stirring discord between groups in order to line their pockets. And with so many people reveling in the comfort, that is America, and unwilling to think for themselves, these minimal conflict promoters have swooped down on a feast of willing sheep.

            In the history of the world, great societies have come and gone, the history books are full of places that at one time flourished with life and prosperity, only to be now, history lessons read about in classes rooms with students who fail, for the most part, to grasp the true meaning of the lessons taught them. Noteworthy lessons taught by teachers who feel themselves more important than the lessons taught. Teachers instructing young minds that the great figures in history, had issues. Issues, which, according to the teachers input, minimized the great things accomplished, failing to remind them that had not that, issued laden individual completed that undertaking, none of us would be alive today.

            I believe in America, in spite of most Americans. For I believe that the same spirit that ran through the deep innermost part of our Founding Fathers, runs through me, a descendant of American slaves.

            The world is watching us; a maniac with power is watching us somewhere. They are wondering if our Republic can stand. I’m willing to bet the farm, that the demise of America is, a mouth watering desire, for those who despise us, for their own selfish reasons.

            We now live in a society where a milestone has been achieved; we have our first black President. It is a sad thing however, that his heart is not like that of a Martin Luther King Jr. Even though he has often tried to convince the world that he is similar to other great leaders, like Abraham Lincoln, with only so little time in which he has served, speaks of a man immersed in egocentricity.

            A man who often proclaims himself a legend, believes so in his own mind. And will do whatever it takes to preserve that emotional state of mind.

            Obama is like Henry Fords Quadricycle, his first self-propelled gasoline driven vehicle, not the first vehicle in the world to run on gas, nevertheless, a first for Henry Ford. It was no doubt an accomplishment for Ford, but it was simply an idea that led Ford to believe he could do better.

            Many in the American society believe they have accomplished a great thing in electing the first black President, in spite of his ideology and our current economic situation. They are content to blame any and everything on the past administration, while our current leader is content to foster that belief. His bungling attempts to mesmerize the world with his mere presence, has him looking the part of a mark to serious men with unstable mental conditions.

            On 9-11-01, I was afraid for my country, but when I looked into the eyes of President Bush and Vice-President Cheney, I knew that those who had attacked our country would pay the ultimate price. I felt safe.

            Not now, not today.

            Our President cares more about attacking a News Organization than he does our true enemies. Actually, I believe he knows more about attacking a News Organization than he does about our true enemies.

I believe Obama is the wrong man, at the wrong time.

But it appears that Americans, after hearing the eloquent and smooth tongue of this fallacious organizer, the cry went out throughout the nation, or at least to a percentage or two above the majority, give us this Quadricycle in “any color…”

“…so long as it’s black.”

Most wanted a black President, I wanted a black President. But the standard by which Obama was elected is based little on qualification, and more on supposed justification.

America is now picking our leaders based on image.

There is trouble knocking at our door America…

…can you hear it?

Afghanistan Can Wait: Obama Attacks Fox News

 

            Obama can’t seem to make up his mind about sending troops requested by his appointed General to Afghanistan, but he can take time out of his busy schedule to meet with members of his administration to map out a coordinated strategy to attack the Fox News Channel.

            Obama is willing to shake hands with Hugo Chavez and exchange reading materials, or to sit down with Ahmadinejad without pre-conditions, but refuses to sit down with Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday to answer a few, tough questions.

            Does any one else find this a bit disturbing?

            Obama seems angrier with Fox News than he is at those killing our men and women in uniform over seas.

So I wonder, is Obama’s priorities mixed up?

Did he actually believe that he could step into office and attempt to implement the things he’s attempting to force feed the American people and no one would dare challenge him?

Did anyone tell him before he took office that this was America, the most powerful nation on the planet?

Did anyone think to mention to him that the nation he called “arrogant” earned the right to be the most powerful nation, not because we had a government dictating our every move, but because our every individual move, forced our government to listen to the people.

What would ever make him believe that he could attack Fox News in a conceited attempt to minimize an organization who, in 2009, stands alone as a news source dedicated to telling the American people the truth?

Fox news did it with the previous administration, they gave far and balanced coverage and forced people like myself, to question an administration in which I had faith.

Attack Fox News, what a foolish thing to do.

Our economy is in shambles, our unemployment rate is at 10%, and we have soldiers dying in a foreign land. And Obama would much rather spend time trying to force feed Americans a Health Care Bill that would further push our economy into a downward spiral. And would dare get angry at Fox News, and try to convince the American people that the only news organization willing to ask him how we could possibly afford putting millions more people into a Health Care program already going bankrupt and it not cost us any more money than we already give to the government.

God, I think Obama and his administration actually believe we, the American people, are just plan ole’ stupid.

Obama, leave Fox News alone and start worrying about doing what you where elected to do.

Nevertheless, if you can’t find it within yourself to be the President, then put responsible people in place to do the job for you and you just walk around and make speeches…

…and at least act Presidential.

Leave Fox alone.

Mr. Limbaugh Beaten With A Racist Black Club

 

            I have listened to the Rush Limbaugh show for years and understand that he is a tough cookie when it comes to those who fail to follow the Conservative platform. I have listen to him go after both Democrat and Republican with equal zeal when they failed to follow common sense rules of governing. But what I’ve never heard, is Rush say anything about any person or group of people, that was not true. And more to the point, I’ve never heard Rush Limbaugh say anything racist about a black person.

            But here was a chance to for some to make the media spotlight, when it was found out that Rush Limbaugh was about to take part ownership in a football team, somebody encouraged someone to say something about nothing…

            …and off to the races went the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, an exclusive black club of so-called leaders who claim their mission in life is to ride the world of racism, when in all actuality, they have done more to damage the black / white relationship than any has in modern times.

            After the death of Martin Luther King Jr. and the pain and hurt that followed began to subside, America had an opportunity to put black and white racism in a bottle and cast it out to see, if only some brave soul with a Dream similar to that of Dr. King had come along.

However, that was not the case.

            Men with self-serving purpose rose out of the ashes of the Civil Rights fallen dead, and used the word RACIST, to intimidate and manipulate there way into money and power.

No doubt giving a morsel back to the community out of which they came, like a man would his bones, giving what’s left out of the meat of their profits. All the while continually convincing others that, whites once held their ancestors as slaves and are, and always will be, the fault and purpose for whatever bad happens to them in their life.

These protectors against the racist have learned to work within system; they have learned the use of that, perfect word, to express themselves and their point of view, scouring the dictionary in order to find the right word to call a rose, by any other name. Avoiding, when convenient, snaring themselves with their own tactics. And should they find themselves trapped, out comes the trump card, RACIST. Whoever dared contradict, enlighten, or point-out their flaws, they pull the trump card, time and again.

            In a world where casting a stone means you might shatter your own house, we have become afraid to point out the flaws of others, no matter how grievous the others might be.

If only there where evil people somewhere,

insidiously committing evil deeds,

and it where necessary only to separate them

from the rest of us and destroy them.

But the line dividing good and evil

cut through the Heart of every human being.

And who is willing to destroy

a piece of his own heart?

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

            In a nation of glass houses, the black race card and those who Bank on it, are the worse sort of people. What they say to those who fought the fight, when there was a true fight to be fought…

…is thank you for the Club to which I belong…

…and which I will use to beat back, all you died for.

What you did to Rush Limbaugh was wrong and how you did it, was shameful.

A Message To Obama Defenders

 

            I received a comment on my Townhall blog site concerning my recent comment, Obama, The Most Famous Unknown from a person who called himself, Jack, who stated, and I quote…

Mr. Brotherton you sure do write a lot of blogs

as well as throw a lot of rocks.

It is one thing to comment

or have an issue with the president

and quite another to berate anything positive

that happens around the White House.”

Jack

            Let me begin by stating, Jack, that if the President had done anything positive around the Whitehouse, I would be cheering and trumpeting his success. However, the most successful thing the President has done thus far, is to receive a Nobel Peace prize for something he might do in the future.

            Now, I will admit that I am not a Liberal, I am a Conservative and proud of it. However there was a time I fell in line with the 90+% of black Americans who voted for Obama, those whom I believe did so, simply because he was black. Because there was nothing, I mean absolutely, nothing in his past that qualified him to be the President of the United States. However, he could give a good speech and he talked a great much about, what he would do, and how he would change the status quo.

            So I ask you Jack, how you like that hope and change now?

            Don’t get me wrong Jack, I know he’s just a politician, but at least I’ve always known that. But it was those like you who voted for a man who looked you in the eyes and lied to you constantly, while jumping off stage after a speech and telling his handlers that those like you where “drinking the juice”.

His words not mine Jack.

Jack, those like you believed that a typical politician, whose words flowed like milk and honey, could solve your problems and fix this “arrogant America” and magically, everything would be made right again. But, how right are things now Jack, the world is a more dangerous place now than it has been in 8 years. Obama promised the world would like us again…

            But here we are…

·         Unemployment is at nearly 10%, but Obama said it would go over 8% if we gave him Trillions of our hard earned dollars to put into the economy.

·         Millions of jobs lost everyday, but of course Obama said, there are some being saved.

·         Wars overseas, getting worse due to his inactions.

·         Iran, whom he said should like us now, is now capable of building a nuclear weapon and Israel forbidden to secure themselves from that threat.

·         North Korea, test-firing missile after missile, after detonating a nuclear bomb.

·         Every Dictator around the world praising Obama while we leave our Allies to the mercy of those like Russia.

·         Prisoners are still in Gitmo. Which is fine by me.

·         Gay folks are still, well, gay folks without any more rights than they had before.

·         Millions spent by our President to lobby for Chicago, only to find out that it was a waste of time. But millions have still come out of our pocket.

·         Millions spent on companies to keep them from going out of business, and yet they still go out of business.

·         The same surveillance policies enacted during the previous administration and protested by Obama before being elected to office, have been reinstated, under his administration. So was Bush right?

Do you want me to go on Jack?

This President lied to you and me, not to mention the rest of America. But there were those like me who looked into his eyes and had a clear picture of the man standing before us. Then there were those like you who, when you looked at the man, couldn’t get past the color of his skin and smoothness and elegance of his speech to see that he was nothing more than a man, whose self-serving agenda, wasn’t meant to help you or me, but him and him alone. A dreadful trait for a leader.

Jack, you also said, and I quote…

“You said your black man

in one of your previous blogs.

I also am a black man.

I know what kind man I am.

Do you?”

Jack

            Jack, when you make such comments, you make the case for me and why those like me need to stand up and be heard, because you voted the way you voted, simply because the man was black. It had nothing to do with what he had done in the past.

And in answer to your question, as to knowing what kind of man I am…

An American Jack, who happens to be black.

Obama, The Most Famous Unknown

  

            People like me have written article after article, radio and television has covered fact after fact about the doings of Obama, and his poll numbers indicate that these facts are finally having an impact on the public’s mindset concerning their opinion of the man.

            However…

            Then there are those who have a dog in the fight. Those like the media have failed to ask the tough question and get answers that are not only important fact finders for the public, but questions that should always be asked, investigated and resolved, concerning the man who desires to be the Chief Executive of America.

Watching a segment of our media cover Obama is like watching a bad movie, where a third world dictator is pulling the puppet strings of its cast of characters in order to paint a rosy picture for those who are viewing the spectacle.

There is a segment of America, willing to accept the viewing of children chanting the name “Obama, um um um”. Children, using a biblical song as if speaking of a god, a view similar to those which surfaced relating to Hitler, where the children of the 1930’s did similar things for a man responsible for murdering millions, after being highly praised as the hope and change for a nation.

It would take pure ignorance for any to do such a thing to our children and not expect there to be comparisons, let alone, concerns.

What about the fact that a, formerly prestigious organization handed a Nobel Peace Prize to a man who had done nothing, to earn it. An award, awarded for what he might do. Obama had been in office for only 12 days before Nobel Committee made its decision.

They are either very intuitive or have an agenda that belittles the prize.

I pick the latter of the two.

For those who care, Obama has spent more time on Health Care than he has on the war our brave men and women are fighting over seas, or at least that’s the way it seems publicly. Hell, for that matter, regarding public appearances, he spent more time picking a dog than he did talking to the General he picked to manage the war, our brave men and women are fighting.

With not yet a year in office, Obama appears to envision himself an icon. But someone needs to inform our President that we are judged, when it is all said and done, by what we do, not by what we wanted to do. Therefore, if Obama wants to be a great man, he has to stop seeing himself as one, so that others can be allowed to see him as such.

Really people, when you think of others who have acted the way Obama acts, what type of people come to mind..?

I wonder, can a President suffer from delusions of grandeur?

Health Care Reform And Socialism; The Tie That Binds

 

          In the 9 months that Obama has been in office, can you pick one month where Obama didn’t push, promote or stand behind some controversial topic, idea, action our nation altering plan that didn’t galvanized the nation?

            The answer is no.

            So you have to ask, why would a President wish to disrupt his nation in such a way, especially when the nation is already reeling from internal and external problems that threatened its very security.

            Allow me to introduce you to an inspiration of Obama, one Saul Alinsky…

"An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent...

He must create a mechanism that can drain off the underlying guilt

for having accepted the previous situation for so long a time.

Out of this mechanism, a new community organization arises....
     The job then is getting the people to move,

to act, to participate;

in short,

to develop and harness the necessary power

to effectively conflict with the prevailing patterns

and change them.

When those prominent in the status quo turn and label you an

'agitator'

they are completely correct,

for that is, in one word, your function

to agitate to the point of conflict."

Saul Alinsky

            So you see, we are being pushed to aid those with an agenda, an agenda to divide our nation to the point that we will accept change out of fear. Fear that leads us to believe that drastic change is the only way to obtain peace in the midst of chaos.

            If you love this country, no matter your political persuasion, and you believe that America is being ripped apart, you should be angry and disgusted that our Commander and Chief would dare use such tactics in order to achieve a political agenda based on the teachings of Saul Alinsky. 

            When I pointed out Obama’s, Saul Alinsky method, to a friend and suggested that the likes of Hitler and Lenin gained power and control out of presumed chaos, using similar techniques to achieve ultimate control. My friend stated that Hitler and Lenin had the blood of millions on their hands and that I could, in no way, compare Obama to those tyrants.

My reply was simply…

When Hitler and Lenin gained power, they did so under the assurance of fundamental change in their society. They had not yet committed the atrocities’ for which they would later become renowned. They each subscribed to radical segments of their society and pushed for fundamental changes in their attempts to reshape the very landscape of how its people lived. They where greeted with open arms and each led their nation to bloodshed and oppression. When you take the power away from the people and give it to a political sect, in whatever amount or whatever form, your history has already been written, for you and that of your children.

For God sake, read a book people.

If you doubt this Health Care reform is an attempt to take control of our very lives by the Liberals and Obama. It has been tried before, and reproached at that time…

this way…

“One of the traditional methods of imposing

Statism or Socialism on a people

has been by way of

medicine.

It’s very easy to disguise

a medical program as a

humanitarian project.

Most people are a little reluctant

to oppose anything that suggest

medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it…”

Ronald Reagan

            We are being pushed to believe that our government is the only cure for a troubled Health Care system. When it was our government who put in place many of the restrictions and guidelines by which the Health Care system operates. And not to mention, that all our government need do, is pass law that would clear many hurdles most people are forced to overcome in an effort to obtain affordable Health Care.

Obama has pushed this government run Health Care that fails to address some of the crucial areas that truly need reform. He has said nothing about opening the boarders so that a man in Texas can buy a Health Care plan from Oklahoma, or TORT reform that would limit irresponsible lawsuits by capping what an attorney could make on either side of the aisle or how beneficial any given lawsuit could be. Yet he wants those who oppose this government overthrow of Health Care to believe that he is serious about true reform.

            Well, with his poll numbers dropping and his inability to accomplish any significant thing, his attempt to divide and conquer our nation could be hampered by the American Spirit. A spirit that lives in the mountains, the trees and the very heart of any who has looked at the history of American to find a nation, not perfect, but the best of any other in the history of the world.

            America has had enemies of the foreign kind who attempted to manipulate the American spirit and found themselves defeated time and again. So, I believe the American spirit will conquer again, the attempt by an agenda designed to set our nation back a thousand years.

            So play on, you cheep violinist, that sour note of discouragement. For what lives in America and has moved this young nation in a direction never obtained by the old empires who now look to us as the leaders of the world, will eventually realize that the notes of this Health Care reform are a cheep attempt to disguise ‘loss of freedom’.

            I refuse to believe that America will succumb to this attempt by Obama and the Liberal members in Washington to socialize our nation through medicine. However, I must admit that I am not surprised by the actions of the Liberals for it has been their goal to one day give government ultimate control and thus enslave a nation, for the simple gratification of power.

            Six times Socialist Party Presidential candidate Norman Mattoon Thomas, once wrote…

“The American people will never knowing adopt socialism

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’

they will adopt every fragment

of the socialist program,

until one day America will be

a socialist nation

without knowing how it happened.”

Norman Mattoon Thomas

Norman Mattoon Thomas went on to say…

“I no longer need to run

as a Presidential Candidate for the

Socialist Party.

The Democrat Party

has adopted our platform.”

Norman Mattoon Thomas

            Huh!?

Speaking Canadian

 

            Last night, me and two of my friends where discussing the current political goings-on. You know, the war, health care and how Obama was handling each of them. Well, two of us are Texas born, and the other was Canadian born.

Interesting conversation, I was fortunate enough to have an epiphany.

            I’ve associated with Canadians in the past, but I have never known a Canadian long enough to really get to know them, let alone call them a friend. Well this fella, is a friend of mine, a good friend.

            My friend, had in the past, mentioned the fact that he moved to America to get away from the Canadian taxes, he desired to live in America in order to provide a better opportunity for himself and his family.

            Last night as we were talking, I couldn’t help but notice how he spoke about the current political situation in a, for lack of a better term, defeated sense. He spoke as one who had either never tasted freedoms victory, or had been beaten down so often, that waving a white flag in middle of an undetermined battle, was the prudent thing to do.

            I didn’t ask him if this was a Canadian way of speaking, I simply remembered the other Canadians I’d met in the past and how similar their speak had been. It was a gray area, in which they spoke, no black or white when it came to the issues. Well, being a Texan, the bad guys wear black and the good guys wear white. The guys wearing the gray outfits were caught in the middle and were simply bullet catchers, fired between the good guys and the bad guys.

I remember my friend constantly saying, when talking about the issues, “It’s complicated.” My only reply was, “Really?”

            When he spoke of Obama, he kept mentioning, how intelligent Obama was. He spoke of Obama’s education, implying how that set him above the normalcy of others. He spoke of Obama as if he where still under the rule of King or Queen. In a nutshell, speaking of one who would willing except what the government handed-out to him, even if it meant he would have to return to the same tax rate he ran away from when he moved from Canada.

            I’m sad to say that my friend has been raised, a defeated man, willing to except what those who have been placed above him, hands down to him. I don’t think he quite understands the American foundation, Americas’ concept, that the ones handing down this, load of crap, we Americans, have excepted for far to long, are elected representatives, replaceable at the whim of the people.

            Though he may be on to something, for if the American people don’t make drastic changes in the 2010 election, the norm that is the politics America, will be passed on to my children and on, until America is nothing more than a nation filled with those who speak like my friend, speaking Canadian.

Jump Sheep, Jump

 

            For the first time in history, an American President sides with dictators, and against those who desire freedom and justice,

            Obama tells the new government in Honduras to reinstate Zelaya after Zelaya attempted to change their Constitution by using the power of his office and ignored the rule of law on which changing their Constitution was based. And yet an American President, who himself above all others, should understand how essential it is to abide by the rules laid out in such a written document.

            Obama gives our allies copies of his speeches on an ipod, while giving Ahmandenjad, the go-ahead to build a nuclear weapon.

            This sort of thing happens in bad movies, but should never be allowed to happen in real life, not in America.

And yet here we are.

            We have, plot after plot, being dismantled by our law enforcement, of those who are attempting to kill Americans, while are President encourages those who desire our deaths, telling them again and again that their beliefs that America is a degenerate place, is correct.

            The administration is telling companies what they can and can’t say, cutting off opposing debate about health care and controlling the media with promises of, God knows what.

            America is in a bad place right now.

            America isn’t America any more.

            I’m going to keep my powder dry and my hope optimistic. I’ve never been one to believe in the, end times, but to witness what I’ve witnessed happening in America is frightening. I now believes that anything is possible, when I see what the American people have allowed to take place in a country who, at one time, use the be a beacon to draw those desiring freedom to follow. America us to be a model for the world to emulate, but in eight months, have become a country, just like any other.

            I still believe in the American dream, I just don’t believe in Obama.

            I can’t wait for the epiphany.

I just hope America is still America when the dawn breaks.

America has been on the brink before, but never this close to home.

The American sheep have never been told to jump off the cliff before.

I wonder where the American wolf dogs are these day, the sheep are being led by a Blind Sheppard who cares little about the well being of his flock.

For the love of God and Country, Americans, wake-up.

Obama’s Saul Alinky “Fixed Truths” Hope And Change

 

            Is there anything about our President that could possibly make you believe he has an agenda based on the Saul Alinsky doctrine? Has he done or said anything that could possibly make you believe, that he believes in the words and teachings of Saul Alinsky?

            Well, Saul Ainsky wrote a called book ‘Rules for Radicals’ a directive for those who wish to break down our capitalist society and rebuild it into that of a Marxist/Lenin type society by using the ‘Community Organizer’ to lead others to aid and assist in this endeavor.

Obama once said…

“I chose my friends carefully.

The more politically active black students,

the foreign students,

the Chicanos

the Marxist professors and

structural feminist…”

            Now some could say that that list of friends could be counted amongst those who deem themselves to be radicals. Perhaps.

            Perhaps one could say that since Obama spent time teaching others about the writings of Saul Alinsky, he perhaps knows a little about the mindset of Alinsky.

            And yet, it is still questionable whether or not he has, himself, been indoctrinated. So, lets compare his actions, since getting elected to office, to the teachings of Saul Alinsky and see if the two entwine in any way.

            Then let us peek at the principles on which this country was founded and see if Obama relates more to Alinsky or the Constitution.

            Lets begin here...

How many times has Obama been caught telling either, untruths or simply made ambiguous statements, saying one thing on one day and changing them the next. Is this a man who is simply not grounded in what he believes, or one who panders as needed?

Since Obama taught the writings of Alinsky, he has to be familiar with this directive from Alinsky…

"An organizer working in and for an open society

is in an ideological dilemma to begin with,

he does not have a fixed truth 

truth to him is relative and changing;

everything to him is relative and changing....

To the extent that he is

free from the shackles of dogma,

he can respond to the realities of the widely different situations….”

Saul Alinsky

            An outlined goal of Alinsky describes what the ultimate goal for those who followed his directive, and where it would lead.

1. "A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat (working class) by the capitalists.

2. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism,

3. Then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat,

4. And finally the last stage, the political paradise of communism."

Saul Alinsky

            So compare the above listed Alinsky directives, 1 thru 4 with to what Obama has done since taking office. Remember, I have only outlined a few things from the Obama administration. Remember that.

            Stage 1:

            Has not the President of the United States made villains’ of insurance companies and threatened to put them out of business and replace them with a government run system. "Villians" he claims who have taken advantage of the average American?

            Stage 2:

            The takeover of the Auto companies and Banks is a step that leads our government in control of our money and our means of transportation.

            Stage 3:

            If the government controls our health care, our banks, our transportation, they control how we live, how much we spend and how we transport our selves, goods and services.

Stage 4:

The falsity of this goal promises paradise, but only for those who run the system. While the hearts and minds of a society become enslaved to a system designed to suppress hopes and dreams, while promoting the welfare of the State.

We deserve better Americans. We have inherited a great society, unlike any in history.

A society where struggle, was once understood, to be a part of what made us great.

A society where we lived by the rule, do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.

A society where brother would fight against brother if one dared tread on the rights of another.

A society where differences where highlighted as the backbone of our society and not a continued squabble over who was better or who might be worse.

A society where you can do what you desire, believe what you wish to believe and the inalienable right of choice.

A society where those who were once enslaved can now be its Commander and Chief.

Anyone who dares confess a love for this country, a true love that goes beyond our faults, could never subscribe to the writeing of Saul Alinsky. Only those who wish to destroy the foundation on which our nation was built would ever think that such destructive beliefs could ever bring peace.

Love, think about it. If you have ever loved, you know that everything about that person is far from perfect. Yet, if you really love that person, you have no desire to switch out that person for another. For that person you loved would be gone and you would be left with another. So in truth, you wish reform, not change…

To Change: To replace with another.

To Reform: To improve something by removing faults.
             Americans understand reform, for we have reformed our nation in a great many different aspects, but should reject outright change, because we have no desire to change what has made us great.

I reject the teaching of the likes of Saul Alinsky and condemn all those who would dare follow his teachings and attempt to incorporate them into our society, to change our way of life.

To ignore what our founding fathers penned in the creation of The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, would mean a “fundamental change” from the things that made this country great. Documents that granted the great great great grandson of a slave an opportunity too even exist. For me, and those of my race, are the products of these perfect documents written Two Hundred and Thirty Three years ago.

Our Founding Fathers believed, in their hearts that “All men are created equal…” and that the government “…are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” believed that we would be the greatest nation to ever exist if we did one thing…

…stay true to our word by honoring the words of our Founding Fathers.

Every American citizen took an oath, either upon birth or to gain citizenship, to uphold the Constitution.

You either stay true to your word, or find someplace else to live where they have no Constitution and leave mine alone.

An Ice Cream Promise From Obama

 

            I’m just trying to figure out when the American public are going to catch on to the fact that our President has a complex, and is perhaps on a Power Trip that goes beyond the normalcy of one in his position. Obama lies and, I suppose, due to the fact that none in the media, but Fox News, will dare challenge him and his constant misstatements, i.e. lies. So why would he not continue on this further denigration of the office of the Presidency, the media says its alright and those on T.V. wouldn’t dare mislead its viewers, right?

            I dare say that when all is said and done with the Obama administrations term of Office, none will trust their government to handle any form of business. I do believe that in 2010 there will be a massive change in our power structure. The Democrats are going to lose big due to the way they are attempting to force feed Americans things, the greater percentage of Americans do not want.

            Obama has time and time again paraded himself as the bandleader of polices that have done nothing to benefit the average American. These promised benefits have been literally unseen, unfelt by the average American. Though he has promised “Hope and Change”, the only ones who have benefitted from Liberal Democrats and agenda base Obama promises,are the Left Leaning Groups, such as Unions and Obama supporters. The only shovel ready projects that seem to have gotten off the ground, has been the ones digging deeper and deeper into our pockets to payoff those who supported this fundamental change.

            Though I must admit, the percentage of those who supported Obama’s false promises has begun to see the light. They have begun to see that everything he has attempted has been a failure; his promises are nothing more than entrancing echoes from an empty hole that promise everything for everyone.

            Obama reminds me of a story I read about, that concerned an election at elementary school were two children where running for class President. One kid promised to do things around the school that could benefit the classes and elevate his classmates learning in meaningful ways, while the other student promised ice cream for everyone and nothing more.

            Well the kid, who promised the ice cream, won the election. Nothing else seemed to matter to the children when it came to the election except that promise of ice cream for everyone.

            Every time Obama makes a promises with an absolute attached to it, such as universal health care for everyone that will not cost Americans a single dime extra, I laugh. Sometimes I laugh so hard I begin to cry.

            I wonder often, how is it I can tell a lie when I hear it, and others are willing to ignore it or are just unable to tell the difference between what is truly possible and what is not. Well, the only conclusion is simple…

            …some people just like ice cream.

Black Tears

 

            I watched the video on-line of the black kids beating the white kid and listened to the cheers of the other black students and cried as the 30+ seconds pass by. 30 seconds for me, but what must have been an eternity for the young man assaulted. He will never forget this incident; it has been viewed by thousands, perhaps millions, he will be remembered as the kid who was jumped and humiliated by a couple of black kids. I can only hope he has a forgiving soul.

            The two young men who brutally assaulted the lone youth have begun to understand and fulfill the promises made by the first black President, to bring our nation together.

These brutal young black boys understand Obama’s embrace of Rev. Wright and his black theology, and what it meant when they witnessed whites bowing down to Obama’s smooth words. Whites are second class citizens, and can be treated as such.

These brutal young black boys understood Obama’s rebuke of the white Police Officer, who dared put his hands on a black Professor. And that when the black President called the Police Officer Stupid, it was clear that there was a change in our society that permitted them to do what they did to that young white student without fear of any repercussions.

These vile young black boys can see clearly, now that it is against the rules to criticize a black man, no matter how justified one might be in doing so, in any way form or fashion.

If you think the President of the United States is not the one responsible for this brutal attack, perhaps you’re right. Perhaps it’s just another incident of kids being kids.

Perhaps, but I cried. I cried because the President promised to heal our nation and no man would do what he has done without harboring, in his own heart, ill will toward those he deems different from himself.

I truly believe the two, the beating of the young white student and the President’s actions to date go hand in hand.

Why, you might ask.

Obama promised he would heal a hurting nation, and yet, I have never felt this nation so divided, so frustrated.

I wish I could have been on that bus with the young white student, as God is my witness, I would have stood between him and his attackers and gladly taken a beating with him.

I end with this…

I wonder if those two young black kids had a chance to witness the Presidents speak to the schools. I wonder if he inspired them, in any way.

What do you think?

Rep. Joe Wilson, A Message From A Black American

  

            I have listened over the last couple of days how many have tried to label Rep. Joe Wilson as a racist for his shout out during Obama’s address to Congress.

“YOU LIE!” he said.

            I have already written about my support for his doing so, so that’s nothing new I need comment on any further.

            What concerns me is what I’ve witnessed in the Main Stream media and their attempt to label this man as a racist when in his shout out implied no racial undertone in his brief, yet, poignant statement. What he did imply, was the same thing many Americans were shouting at the televisions across the country. Hell, moments before he said that, I looked over at my wife and told her that Obama was standing there lying too the American people and doing so with such smooth elegance.

            What the Main Stream media failed to report, is that what Rep. Joe Wilson shouted out, was the truth. Obama was lying.

            Now, you have to believe that the President didn’t know the truth about a piece of legislation that will effect every American in the country, this same legislation that he’s given more than 100 speeches on. You have to believe that since the President seems hell-bent on forcing it through without considering things like TORT reform and other such cost saving measures, he has to know something we do not. The President is insisting that he can add millions more people to the Health Care system without it costing an extra dime from the American people, in spit of the fact that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says otherwise.

Or, you have to believe that the President is looking the American people directly in the eyes, and lying.

            Representative Joe Wilson, I applaud you. I know it took true courage to stand up and do the right thing, not because you dislike our President because he’s black, but simply because he was lying. And it has to frightens you, as it does so many other Americans, that he can do so, so easily.

            Representative Joe Wilson, I know it has to be hard to represent truth, against a man, an administration and an agenda that finds it so easy to misrepresent.

            Stand tall Sir, your place in history will be counted among the hero’s who wore a white hat in its nations time of need, even if others might call you a racist for doing so.

It’s a shame that our nation has fallen so far back in time, that we now believe that hero’s can no longer stand for truth, especially if he who stands for truth is white, and he that continuously lies is black.

I am a proud American who happens to be black and I took no offense to what you did. The media won’t ask the tough questions and our President refuses to allow himself to be interviewed by any who might, so in order to get honest answers, somebody has call him out when the opportunity presents itself.

That shout out, I believe, was just that simple.
