If I was a Democrat, I’d want my money back. Of course many are getting their money back via the so called stimulus plan, courtesy of your pocket.
Armed with a cabinet of criminals and tax cheats, Obama is taking the Presidency to a new, unprecedented low. I find it amusing, although not surprising, that he can hardly find an honest man among his Democratic peers. It’s not surprising, because Obama’s political roots are from the Gomorrah of politics, the great state of Illinois.
I absolutely love Mayor Daley’s comment regarding Chicago’s portion of the stimulus package. I believe he said he wanted the details of the stimulus to remain secret, because he didn’t want the press poking around in it, and asking a lot of questions. I got to hand it to Mayor Daley, at least he’s openly dishonest.
So here we are, less than 70 days into the Obama legacy. How many Executive Orders has Obama issued? I’ve lost count, but I’m pretty sure the number is over 15. Never before in US history has a President assumed so much unchecked power. For comparison, Jimmy Carter issued 2, Ronald Reagan, 0.
Equally as disturbing is the number of Czars Obama is appointing. These Czars have no oversight by Congress or the Senate. They answer only to Obama. Does this sound like Democracy? Does this sound like a President? Or an Emperor? Perhaps more like a Chairman. Chairman Obama.
I have decided the whole thing is an education problem. Clearly Obama, as well as, most of the politicians in America have a very poor knowledge of history. This administration is repeating mistakes made in history by a great variety of people, people like Stalin and Hitler. Mistakes that were questions in the past that have been answered by history. Obama ignores the answers to these questions that history provides us. Instead, he pushes our country toward a proven path of disaster.
The problem goes beyond our politicians, it begins in our schools who apparently teach very little US or World history. What they do teach has been censored and tailored for political purpose. Parents don’t realize, there are certain history books politicians don’t want your children to read. One such book is, The Making of America, The Substance and Meaning of the Constitution, by W. Cleon Skousen. Although I’m not finished with it yet (it’s about 900 pages) I think it is the finest book on US History I’ve ever read.
I was told this book was Ronald Reagan’s favorite history book and that he wanted it to be required reading in our schools, but of course that never happened. However, I think if the American youth had been reading this book there would not be a President Obama, or for that matter a Nancy Pelosi, or a Harry Reed (Dr. Smith), and countless others.
Of course it’s not all ignorance, a good portion of the problem is greed. America has promoted these people to a Royal level. It’s an addiction. Show me a politician that has ever run a hotdog stand successfully, yet they are all rich. How does that happen? Via a life of “Public Service.” These people are leeches sucking the People of America dry. They don’t care about the outcome, they’re rich! And you are, or will be, poor. An indentured slave, working to pay for entitlements you hope to receive.
A Russian scholar is predicting that the current financial crisis in the U.S. will lead to the breakup of the country.
Igor Panarin, a professor at the diplomatic academy of Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told the newspaper Izvestia on Monday that America will break apart into six regions following the crisis.
“Dissatisfaction is growing, and it is only being held back at the moment by the elections, and the hope that Obama can work miracles, but when spring comes, it will be clear that there are no miracles.”
Panarin predicts the U.S. will split into: the Pacific, the South, Texas, the Atlantic coast, the central states and the northern states, and hinted that Alaska could be Russia’s for the taking.
Actually, the thought of California succeeding from the Union has never bothered me, it’s like a foreign country anyway. I think Sarah Palin would have other thoughts regarding Alaska and I’ll bet she’s got the weapons to back it up.
America is quite divided today and when the system breaks down, almost anything can happen. However, I view this story as typical, old Soviet Union style, hateful, envious, wishful thinking. Still, it is up to the American people to make sure something like this never happens. Complacency to the breakdown of traditional American moral values is not the answer.
Clearly, the Russians are delighted by the current chaos in America, and to celebrate, they are off to play Battleship with Hugo Chavez, but that’s another story.
Here is Valerie Jarrett, Co-Chair of the Obama-Biden Transition Team, commenting about the Obama transition on Meet the Press. The sync on the sound isn’t right so don’t look at her lips.
Since when do Presidents “Rule?”
Do we, as American Citizens refer to our President as a “Ruler?”
Once again, here we are on the day that America honors its veterans. Each year, I feel this day is increasingly important, for so many modern day Americans have no idea the cost of the lifestyle they lead, and the freedoms they so enjoy.
One of my favorite expressions regarding Veterans Day is this…
If you can read the newspaper, thank a teacher. If the newspaper is in English, thank a Vet.
God bless America, and all her Veterans. Make sure you find one today and thank him or her for their service.
And now for your entertainment and enlightenment, I offer you this fantastic speech given by General Douglas MacArthur for his farewell address to Congress, April 19th, 1951. The speech itself is nearly 38 minutes long with the best of it in the last 15 minutes or so, but I encourage you to listen to the whole thing.
Also, here is another one of my favorites although less authentic, Mel Gibson as Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore in the movie, We Were Soldiers. It’s considerably shorter.
As America spirals into depression with the most left, socialist, government in history about to take command, one industry is booming, the gun industry.
It seems many Americans are worried about their right to purchase and own firearms under the upcoming administration. As spending is down and American retailers are reporting the slowest sales in years, Americas gun dealers are having a hay-day, reporting record sales from coast to coast.
According the the FBI, in October 2008 there were more than 108,000 more background checks for gun purchases than in October 2007.
I’ve always felt firearm sales should be some sort of indicator, like consumer confidence, or the jobless rate. A huge spike in sales, should certainly tell us something.
Are Americans less secure with the safety of their environment? Do they feel they will loose their right to purchase a firearm under the future administration? It would seem so.
On the campaign trail, Barack Obama spoke to Ohio voters and said, “I will not take your shotgun away, I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away.”
As a Senator, Obama voted to leave gun-makers and dealers open to lawsuits, and as an Illinois state legislator, he supported a ban on semiautomatic weapons and tighter restrictions on all firearms.
Personally, I think Barack Obama has bigger things to worry about right now, like a huge economic crisis and two wars, but he is clearly in a hurry to change many things about America, and the right to own a firearm could certainly be on the list.
