Obama and the Big Lie

Well the "Big Lie" was illustrated by Hitler in Mien Kampf.  "All this was inspired by the principle - which is quite true in itself - that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."

In today's speech the President stated that the Republicans had been responsible for the last ten years of policy that caused the economic problems we currently have including the soaring deficits. Overlooking obviously that fact the the Democratic party has been in charge of Congress since 2006 and in complete control of the government since 2008.

These people continue to continue down the same path even though the approval rating for this Congress approaches single digits. These people keep on telling the "Big Lie".

Google to your hearts content and find all you need to know about the time line to the rise in deficits and stimulus spending, rising unemployment etc etc. Not that the GOP has been any great shakes in stemming this rising tide.

Our government continues the pile one spending bill on top of another, none have even taken the time to look at what we are currently spending on, what we have set up in the past, if we still need these programs, if these programs are being run efficiently, if anybody cares is the American taxpayer is getting shortchanged or not.

This is an area where the Teaparty could make great strides by beginning to elect people who will take a good look at the books and sunset some of the outdated spending programs and agencies.

Get involved, let the elected officials know we need to spring clean the government and rid ourselves

Limits on Congress

Article V

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.

Our Founding Fathers seem brilliant to me. They put several clauses into the document that controls our government that amount to checks and balances that no one had seen before, and are seldom used.

This one clause, highlighted above, is one that is long over due in its application. Thirty for state legislatures are need to call a constitutional convention with regard to proposing an amendment to the Constitution, and thiry eight states need to radify this document to change our govening document.

The federal government is in need of taking down a peg, and just changing the party in power every 2 to 4 years is not getting it done.

The Founders originally set out term limits in the Articles of Confederation but removed them in the Constitution feeling they had no place on a shortened document.

http://www.usconstitution.net/articles.html#Article5

Article V. For the most convenient management of the general interests of the United States, delegates shall be annually appointed in such manner as the legislatures of each State shall direct, to meet in Congress on the first Monday in November, in every year, with a power reserved to each State to recall its delegates, or any of them, at any time within the year, and to send others in their stead for the remainder of the year.

No State shall be represented in Congress by less than two, nor more than seven members; and no person shall be capable of being a delegate for more than three years in any term of six years; nor shall any person, being a delegate, be capable of holding any office under the United States, for which he, or another for his benefit, receives any salary, fees or emolument of any kind.

We talk and whine that no one hears us in DC. If we started an Constitutional convention outside of the DC arena, with the aim of Amending the Constitution and add term limits to the members of Congress..............................can you hear me now?

This is a subject that rings true with the voting public. Consistent polling show that 60% + of all
voters support term limits on the Congress, just ask the representatives in the California State Legislature.

This is a idea who's time has come.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Some of us, who haven't suffered through the last 15 or so years of public education, will recognize those words as coming from our Declaration of Independence.

Our founders recognized that the rights of men were not granted by kings or land holders or such. These rights come from a place where no one man or group of men hold sway. These rights we are born with and are granted to us by a power no one can challenge or change. They believed that the rights we have, all men have, and that they come from our Creator.

Over the years religion is slowly being driven from our society., and this just didn't start in the US. Some references are made to the decline of Christianity starting back in the late 1800's. Why? Some might believe we are more "enlightened", some that we are more "evolved", some are just to lazy to get up on Sunday and do the work or are embarrassed to voice their beliefs.

Look closely though, if God is removed from our society, then where will we say our rights come from?

Our current group in Washington would love to have you believe that your rights come from them. That their intellectual prowess is all that is necessary to make all thing clear, and nothing will work better than the way they lay it out.

There are many rich elitists who put their financial muscle behind what they feel are the causes that need to be addressed to give the world "proper direction". This is not something new, it has been going on since at least the industrial revolution began and allowed great accumulations of wealth. This desire on the part of our perceived "betters", at least in their minds, to care for and nurture us, reverts us back to a day when kings and their barons dictated the rules of how they rest of the "rabble" would be governed.

The creation of America broke that chain and allowed each of us to have a voice in how he or she was governed. Which causes we find important, and to what degree we will support with our pocket books those causes.

The idea that unelected elitists control our policies should be unacceptable to any liberty loving individual anywhere.

For all of our nation's history, there have been tactical battles between opposing political ideologies -- liberals (leftists) who want to liberate us from constitutional rule of law, and conservatives who strive to conserve rule of law. Great political capital has been, and continues to be, expended by the Left in order to offend our Constitution, and by the Right in order to defend it.

Mark Alexander, Patriot Post.

Some people just don't want to play by the rules. Could you imagine a sporting event that did not have a predetermined set of rules to play by.

That is what our Constitution is, the agreed to list of rules that we run our society with. It was written in plain language and set up the way our Founding Fathers viewed how a government of the people should be run. They drew on the experiences they had lived thru all their lives, the ruling Monarchies of Europe, the Parliament of England, the excesses, abuses, and disappointments of all.

They saw only one goal of this new experiment they started, FREEDOM. They strove to assure that the power of government lay with the people, not with any one person or group. That there would be a way for the people to change those in power when needed, and to change the Rules when needed, by having the MAJORITY of the people agree that a change was needed and was written in a way that they could agree to and live with.

The 10th Amendment was written to specifically define the powers of the Federal Government and state that those powers not given to the Fed belonged to the States, something that our national leaders seemed to have forgotten in recent years.

Our Federal government was never meant to be the ruling body it has become. Read the Articles of Confederation and you will see that our founders believed in, and were passionate about, the rights of each individual state. And, as it should be, because the state is closer to the people than Washington, even in this time of instant global communication. The national government was meant to help in the interaction between the states and between this new country and other countries, not to create the rules and hold the reins. The people are to hold the reins, we hold the power, not the other way around.

We see now that our government wants to control the banks, the oil companies, the auto industry and to what end? They want to control us, but yet we control the means to remove them if we so desire. So the next logical step is to assume that they are not finished, that there are more of our liberties that will vanish. They must move the pieces around so that they have the power to retain their power.

H.B 45 is one step in that direction. The Second Amendment is a big stumbling block on that path to power. Yamamoto was asked why he did not invade the US after Pearl Harbor and his reply was "there would be a gun behind every blade of grass". This remains true today. With 90 million gunowners in the US we have them out gunned, the question is, can we out will them.
Will enough Americans stand and be counted when the status of liberty, real liberty, is on the line?

The current fight that is brewing between the states and the fed over the 10th Amendment is one that needs the support of every American, both Republican and Democrat. We need to push back on the erosion of our rights from both the Congress and the Courts and convey to those inside the beltway that they serve at our connivance not we obey at theirs.

Look on the internet and find those groups that are close to you that are beginning to rise up and petition for the return of the 10th Amendment, write your state representatives and make your voice heard.

It is not to late.

Moving Towards Europe

Last week the POTUS gave the UAW 55% ownership of Chrysler. Bypassing the creditors and as many observed repaying his debt to more of those who got him elected.

The unions provided somewhere in the neighborhood of 67 million to the Obama war chest during the run up to the election. Since only about 10-13% of the United States work force are unionized that is quite a debt to repay.

Union membership has dropped significantly over the decades since the '70's, mainly because the younger members of the work force do not see the benefits of union membership. The leadership of many unions probably see their paycheck slipping away and felt they needed someone in Washington so they went to the wall to contribute to the "One's" election.

I feel this is something other than pay back for all that support. For years now the elite members of our society and government have had an almost morbid fascination with the structure of European governments, societal makeup and socialism in general.

Unions in Europe have major representation on the boards of many corporations and businesses. Now a union in the US has been handed that same privilege.

This is nothing more than a move on the part of elite members of our society to move us in the direction of socialism, a form of government that many European nations are beginning to try and move away from.

Europe is beginning to see the same thing that has happened in the US, manufacturing jobs are moving away. Moving to the newer members of the EU or further east to Asia. Manufacturing in Europe is shrinking because the higher value of the euro vs the dollar. Importing good from the EU just cost more than even making them stateside.

Socialism, some are beginning to realize just causes a stagnation. There is no telling how much further many economies could go if the restrictions were removed and the owners were allowed to take risks. With labor unions strangling many industries in the EU ownership is looking for relief. Relief in the form of less taxes, lower wages, cheaper interest etc.

America seems bent on trying socialism on for size, with total disregard to the past efforts in this country that never panned out. If this is such a great system, everyone would use it.

Now it seems we are going to use it whether we want to of not.

It Belongs to You Now

So congress went ahead and passed the 3.5 trillion dollar Obama budget. Ok anybody feel stimulated? Gm doesn't, Crysler doesn't, many banks are looking for more, I'm having a ball on my 13.00 extra a week. How much are we going to have to give in taxes to support these coming budget deficits?

Last week it was revealed that Bill Gates is once again the king, owning $40,000,000,000.00 of wealth making him the richest man in the world. Now, they are projecting 9 trillion dollars in deficit. So if you took all of Gates' money ( face it the left dosen't think we need to have that much in one mans hands) to help pay off what we owe, he would cover .44 % of the total. Where oh where shall we get the rest?

In 2006 corporate taxes accounted for 24.3 %, taxes on production and imports 6.4 %, taxes from the rest of the world .8 %..........that leaves you and me holding the bag for 68.5% of the monies needed.

http://politicalcalculations.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-much-does-us-rely-on-personal.html

Get your check books out folks that means we owe $6,165,000,000,000.00 of the coming deficit.
According to the Tax Foundation in 2006 41% of Americans are out side the federal tax system, meaning they either pay no taxes or get extra money back.

http://www.taxfoundation.org/research/show/1410.html


Well that means that the rest of you, cause I don't make any money, owe about $37,282.00 each, that is every man, woman and child. If you would all just forward a check or credit card number we can take care of this and we will all move on.

Of course after the passing of this budget, that no one read, this economy now belong to the Big O. There is no denying it now, Bush has left the building and what Obama does and asks for makes this economy his and his presidency rises or falls on what he and the Congress does.

Did he inherit a bad economy? Every president inherits the economy of his predecessor and the Congress that helps form the policies. For the last 2 years the Congress was held by the Democrats and Obama was a part of that Congress. They controlled the purse strings and the ability to say no to any spending the administration proposed. I think there is plenty of blame to go around for the past. The future?....... where to place the blame is becoming clearer all the time.

We are the "New Jews"

Own a Bible, gun, American flag, marry a member of the opposite sex , seek your Congress Critter to reduce taxes and look out................your one of them. Wait till they find that you live next door or sit in the next cubicle, your life may change forever.
I have a coffee cup at work that says "Infidel" on the side in big bold letters, several people have said I need to throw it out. In the words of Ron White "I don't think so scooter."

Last time I looked this was A-M-E-R-I-C-A, not your watered down, pasty Hollyweird, President apologizing for version, but the land of the free home of the brave version.

The Constitution, remember that document, says we have the right to "freedom of speech" " lawful assembly" etc. Currently many are beginning to believe that only certain groups have the right to assemble and make their views known. Those that feel this way of course are the ones that won the election and now they intend to ram their power and vision of America down our throats.

Common decency, respect, give and take debate are out the window as the elites plow headlong into their "new version" of America.

As in the 1930's they are trying to label us as fast as they can and trying to pass laws that when they manage to slap a label on you, it will affect your right to free speech, possibly to gain employment, or hold specific types of jobs. You wouldn't want a "racist" or "bigot" teaching your kids would you?

We are the "New Jews". They feel we are responsible for a multitude of sins, from alleged global warming, terrorist attacks on our soil, to the way the rest of the world views us.

In the 1930's one of the ways that the German people were controlled was that the opposition view point was silenced. In Castro's Cuba the only media outlets that are allowed to relay the news is are the ones "approved" by the government, and guess what.......they are owned by the Communist Party.

Our country has progressed further faster than any other given our short history. We did not do it by allowing the government to control us the way many seem to want to hand over control to them today.

Face it, the left is worried about any grassroots movement from those of us on the right. Why else would all the Lame Stream ridicule and deride those that participated on April 15th. The Secrete Service broke up the protest in front of the White House and the Washington Post came out with some limp wristed survey saying that 41% want bigger government in their lives.

We have worked ourselves into a great nation, why do we want to surrender our greatness? Why not embrace it and improve upon it? Make those that lag behind come up to where we are the world will be better for it.
