Revisiting My Pre-election Letter to the Editor - Refused by Local Paper

Prior to the last election, I tried for
4 weeks to have this letter run in our 
local paper. At the time, the paper
refused to run this because, according to
the Editor: "most of the facts that you
claim have been repeatedly shown as
inaccurate, or grossly misstate
associations and positions." Really? 
Let's revisit them. Ten Reasons I
Will Not Vote for Barack Obama
 
1)From years of mentoring by his “friend
Frank" (Marshall Davis), a member of 
the Communist Party of the USA - thru
friendships and associations with Chicago 
felon Tony Rezko, unrepentant Weather
Underground terrorist William Ayers, the group ACORN (for whom he was a lawyer and
 trainer; to whom his campaign has donated $800,000; and being the group who has 
been found to be registering thousands of fraudulent voters); and his 20 year 
membership in Reverend Wright's Black Liberation Theology Church, he doesn't have
the judgement to NOT associate with radicals. With whom will he likely fill his
cabinet?  [My three part series in my blog answers this one, in October 2009. This
letter should have said that Barack IS a radical with a radical agenda for
America.]
 2) He advocates income redistribution as Marxist Saul Alinsky prescribes “from 
those according to their ability, to those according to their need”.  This - even 
though the bottom 40% of Americans pay NO taxes, and the upper 5%, on whom he plans
to increase taxes, already pay 60% of all taxes.  It is these very people who buy 
products, spend money and employ the rest of us.  He wants to do this even knowing
that it will cause less money to go to the government, in the interest of 
“fairness”.  Taxes will be increased by another 10% on those who sell a home or 
stocks, as well as on those of us who have earned interest and dividends.  Taxes 
would be increased by 6.2% for those families earning over $102,000 because he 
plans to no longer cap Social Security taxes.  When he raises taxes on corporations
jobs will be shipped overseas where the taxes are much lower. [This was prior to 
Joe the Plumber, as well as the appointment, unconfirmed by Congress, of "rationing
King", our new man in charge of Medicare and Medicare.] 
3) While excoriating greedy CEOs, lobbyists and Republicans over the current 
financial meltdown, his associates Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson bilked Fannie
Mae of over $130 million as the company was going broke. In the last 3 years alone
this lobbyist-hating would-be President took the second largest amount of PAC funds
($130,000)from Fannie Mae, a total which is 49 times the amount that McCain was 
given over his lifetime. [During his administration, Obama has kept his hands off 
of government oversight or regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and has 
positioned the gov't to take over failing financial institutions.] 
 4) Americans give billions to poverty-plagued nations.  Barack plans to force us
to give another .7% of our Gross Domestic Product to the graft-ridden UN as part of
his Global Poverty Act. [His goal actually is to redistribute the hard won wealth
of Americans to the poor of the world; to give Amnesty (with critical voting 
rights) to millions of illegals; and to collapse our Capitalism system.] 
 5) He favors meeting with  evil enemy leaders without preconditions.  He has 
negotiated with Iraq, in violation of our Constitution, asking them to not
allow US soldiers to be sent home until after he is elected, so that he can get
the credit. [He now literally bows to our enemies and insults our allies. We have
learned that he hates Britain most likely because they imprisoned and daily 
tortured his Kenyan grandfather.]
 6) He would guarantee our loss in Iraq by telling enemies exactly when our troops 
will leave, regardless of conditions on the ground.  Al Qaeda will wait til we 
leave, take over the county, execute those Iraqis who fought for freedom, and 
exclaim victory over a weak USA. [I was wrong here, as it is in Afghanistan where
he is following this plan, putting in place as the Commander there a man he was
willing to trash as the Commander in Iraq.]  
 7) He has accused our troops of  “air-raiding villages and killing civilians” in
Afghanistan, fueling the world’s hatred and giving talking points to our enemies.
[He called our corpsmen - corpse-men. Now, during his Administration, we have
soldiers who must not shoot until shot upon and must never shoot is one civilian is
in the area, a rule which the enemy enjoys using to their own benefit.  More and 
more of our soldiers are being killed, but the media no longer berates the man in
office.] 
 8) Any criticism of Barack Obama has been and will continue to be falsely decried 
as racism, for he will not admit that it is his radical agenda which is in 
question.[This is shockingly true - in spades, no pun intended. I was right on 
the money on this one! Some in the Justice Department have been told they may not
prosecute any black man or woman, for that would be racist! Race relation in 
America have been set back decades] 
 9) Terrorist William Ayers placed Obama as Chairman of his Annenberg Challenge. 
Barack directed $50M to a project to specifically "radicalize" Chicago's public 
school education agenda. [He has demonstrated via his appointment to "safe school
czar, in particular, his radical agenda for children, including having been ok with
a male teacher's affair with a boy student, as well as distributing, at a seminar 
for middle and upper grade school children, pamphlets on the art of "fisting" (ask
a young person what this means). It is so sad that I have to be so graphic in order
to wake up those in self-imposed slumber.]
 10) He claims to want to reduce money in politics - yet his campaign has raised 
over $220M, some of it illegal,for use against McCain who, along with Obama,
pledged to use only public funds in his campaign. 
 And this is a Post-Racial Candidate?  Please.....I pray we are not this easily 
duped.  Our country is at stake. 
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well - we WERE easily duped, partly because the Mainstream Media was complicit in
not asking tough questions and not questioning Barack's background, [as well as the
fact that it is easy to be complacent and not bother to vote, or to hate Bush so
much that all possible reason flew out the window for those who didn't want to see
the truth.]  Charlie Rose and Tom Brokaw, just days prior to the election, had the
gall to say, "You know, we really don't know anything about this man...." [Wasn't
that their job?] Those who refused to heed what we did know have had some time to
understand what a radical man can quickly do to his country, haven't they?
  In witnessing the ways in which Barack Obama seems to forget that he is half
white, as well as the dropping of charges against the Black Panthers who 
openly intimidated voters in Philadelphia, I recall Obama's discussion of Malcolm X 
during one of his speeches.  He said that he recalled that Malcolm X wished "that 
the white blood that ran thru him, there-by an act of violence, might somehow be 
expunged. The other race, he said, would always remain just that: menacing, alien 
and apart. I knew that for Malcolm X that wish would never be incidental. I knew 
as well that traveling down the road to self-respect, my own white blood would
never recede into mere abstraction."
 
What have we voters done to ourselves by voting for a man who reveres Malcolm X
and surrounds himself with only the most radical people?  Isn't it time to change
direction?  Feel free to email this one, and all others, to the world!

Intelligence Funding; TARP Audit; Gov't Racism Against Whites; Push for Energy Bill; Felons For Al Franken Coming to Michigan

Fox News reports: The Obama administration is bracing for the first in a series of Washington Post articles said to focus in unprecedented detail on the government's spending on intelligence contractors. The intelligence community is warning that the article could blow the cover of contract companies doing top-secret work for the government. At the same time, a senior administration official acknowledged that the kind of wasteful spending expected to be spotlighted in the series is "troubling" and something the administration is trying to address. [A Washington Post article reports that Some 854,000 people - or nearly 1 1/2 times the number of people who live in Washington - have top-secret security clearance.  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/18/administration-braces-series-intelligence-contracting-waste/
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[An audit of TARP funding reveals the following, from the New York Times:]  President Obama’s auto task force pressed General Motors and Chrysler to close scores of dealerships without adequately considering the jobs that would be lost or having a firm idea of the cost savings that would be achieved, an audit of the process has concluded.  [Can people finally begin to understand what the term "empty suit" means?]  http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/19/business/19autos.html?_r=2&hp
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two weeks ago, the White House informed the state of Oklahoma that it could expect no federal aid to help deal with the damage caused by recent flooding. There was no explanation, no expression of sympathy, no offer of alternatives.
Consider these actions. If anyone during the 2008 had implied, or even speculated, that Obama was capable of anything of the sort, he'd have been dismissed as a demagogue, a hater, even a lunatic. But today, after his abandonment of the state of Tennessee (also wracked by flooding), his betrayal of the Georgians, his pulling the rug out from under the Poles and Czechs, his dragging and cold response to the Gulf blowout, his insults to the UK, the GOP, the Supreme Court, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Dalai Lama, it scarcely raises a shrug. That's Obama. That's how he acts -- with arrogance, superciliousness, and indifference. We can search the entire roster of American presidents, and we will not find a match. This is not the behavior of an elected chief executive; it's the conduct of a divine right monarch, and a pretty inadequate one as well.

Conduct of this sort inevitably produces a reaction -- contempt from equals, and hatred from victims. Obama has created a lot of victims in eighteen months of power, and that reaction has been growing. http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/07/president_haters.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrew Brietbart of Big Government: released a video of Shirley Sherrod, the USDA Georgia director of Rural Development, speaking at the NAACP Freedom Fund dinner in Georgia.
In her meandering speech to what appears to be an all-black audience, this federally appointed executive bureaucrat lays out in stark detail, that her federal duties are managed through the prism of race and class distinctions.
[...]Sherrod describes how she racially discriminates against a white farmer. She describes how she is torn over how much she will choose to help him. And, she admits that she doesn’t do everything she can for him, because he is white. Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white man is poor and needs help. But she decides that he should get help from “one of his own kind”. She refers him to a white lawyer.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to the NEW media (that is Fox, ect, and we the people), the truth got out and here is the upshot, from Fox News : The Agriculture Department announced Monday, shortly after FoxNews.com published its initial report on the video, that Sherrod had resigned.
"There is zero tolerance for discrimination at USDA, and I strongly condemn any act of discrimination against any person," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a written statement. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/19/clip-shows-usda-official-admitting-withheld-help-white-farmer/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Next up, before Democrats go home to "meet" their constituency, and more importantly, before they lose their seats in the November elections, comes news that an Energy bill is to be pushed thru the House.] The Hill reports: time is of the essence, as Reid has pledged to begin the energy debate the week of July 26. That would give Democrats two weeks to pass energy reform and confirm Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan by the August recess, scheduled to begin Aug. 6.


The recess is scheduled to last five weeks, giving lawmakers facing tough reelections — including Reid — plenty of time to campaign. The House is scheduled to begin its recess on July 30.


Reid has warned that he may cut a week off the Senate recess if the legislative pace slows.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Google reports:  Earlier this week, Fox News reported that convicted felons voting illegally may have swung the pivotal 2008 Minnesota Senate race in favor of Al Franken.  It appears Democratic Secretary of State Mark Ritchie did little to combat this fraudulent activity.  
Mr. Ritchie took office in 2006 thanks in part to the significant financial backing of The Secretary of State Project, a liberal advocacy group funded largely by billionaire George Soros.  Mr. Soros' aim is to capture Secretary of State seats in swing states, establishing an electoral advantage for future elections.  Unfortunately, his plan worked to perfection in Minnesota, as Mr. Ritchie helped deliver the Democrat's 60th vote in the U.S. Senate.

Now, Mr. Soros has turned his attention to Michigan.  His group has made electing Michigan Democrat Jocelyn Benson one of its top priorities. https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox/129eadfe45129020

What is Fascism; Peggy Noonan Dislikes Obama's Youth; and Is it A Demand or Is It a Tax?

AIP News writes: Fascism is really no more than a system where government, through agreements with the private sector, controls virtually all property and income indirectly. 
Prosperity and economic growth become the domain of government.  The philosophical aim is to eliminate recessions by eliminating robust growth -- the underlying philosophy being that if there is no boom, there will be no bust.  This system usually appeals to populations coming out of severe economic depressions and upheaval, as in pre-Nazi Germany during the period of the 1930s. 

The problem with the system is obvious:  property-owning democracy must take a back seat to the interests of the state.  And, by blurring the distinction between the private sector and the public sector, individual liberty can often be conditioned on complicity with state aims, as manifested in the private sector sphere.  Why else would German companies like Degesch be willing to supply the infamous Zyclon-B for use in the extermination of their fellow men if not conditioned upon the continued viability of the company and all employees concerned?  Money talks, and when the state controls the powers of production directly or indirectly, it controls the livelihood of millions.  Human beings are capable of such immense evil in exchange for clothing and a full pantry.  
Fascism is, however, correctly associated with tyranny since nations that employ the tenets of fascism almost always transition from a republican or parliamentary form of government to some sort of personality cult usually centered on an economic "savior."
President Obama has done just this. 
Shortly after he claimed the right to fire the head of a private company, Obama realized he could claim the power to set wages in companies receiving bailout funds.  When these actions were successful, Obama realized he could then claim the power to set wages all across the economy, even venturing as far as attempting government mandates for company perks like private jets or club memberships. 

Similarly, when it was clear Congress would not object to Obama claiming the power to declare martial law, in direct violation of historic statute, Obama then contended that, in the event Congress would not cooperate, he would merely rule by decree.  This give-and-take approach has been wildly successful as a means of overcoming major constitutional obstacles to acquisitions of power.

All of Obama's actions have highly fascist overtones.  The fusion of government and the private sector can be observed most clearly in the recent Chicago-style shakedown of BP, wherein Obama forced a private sector company to set up a $20 billion slush fund to be controlled by his team of czars, criminally exceeding his constitutional authority.  Only days after it was clear that this action would not be met with legal challenge, Obama succeeded in passing a financial overhaul bill granting him the authority to seize healthy firms if he deemed them to be at risk, outside of normal bankruptcy procedures which exist expressly for that purpose.  http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/07/american_jeopardy_what_is_fasc.html    [Scared yet?]
[This column reminds me that Obama's mantra is that, in his words, "recognizing that my fate remain tied up with their fates, that my individual salvation is not going to come about without a "collective salvation" for the country.   Unfortunately, I think that recognition requires that we make sacrifices and this country has not always been willing to make the sacrifices that are necessary to bring about a new day and a new age."  [In other words, he and his government must take wealth away from people in order to save people.  Words do mean something, as he says.  Billions of dollars of our money have for decades paid for those who have children in order to get more government hand-outs, for instance.  We are a generous nation, with our taxes and our donations.  It hasn't changed the outlook for those who will not use the free education they are given, who would rather have the government take care of them than go out and make a living, etc. The media were too enamored to inform the masses of what this man was saying and what his words would actually mean to our lives.  In this case "forewarned is forearmed" was overridden by "we want change and hope - and we don't care what kind."  Now we must have change - of an adult, America-loving
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Peggy Noonan [finally]writes:  All right, you know what I think people miss when they look at Washington and our political leadership? They miss old and august. They miss wise and weathered. They miss the presence of bruised and battered veterans of life who've absorbed its facts and lived to tell the tale.
This is a nation—a world—badly in need of adult supervision
Youth is supposed to bring vigor and vision. In general, however, I think we find in our modern political figures that what it really brings is need—for greatness, to be transformative, to leave a legacy. Such clamorous needs! How very boring they are, how puny and small, but how huge in their consequences.
What Mr. Obama needed the past 18 months was a wise man—more on that later—to offer counsel and perspective, a guy who just by walking into the room brings historical context.
Boring: that looks so good right now. Old, that looks so fresh, so new.
[I don't hate to say it - I told you so!  Where was this columnist when this view might have prevented an election of an empty suit to the White House?  She was singing the praises of this exciting man, at least after the election, that's where.  She lost her conservative mantle while worshiping at the feet of a man the media did not vet.]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
The New York Times reports:  WASHINGTON — When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.”
And that power, they say, is even more sweeping than the federal power to regulate interstate commerce.[What a shock!]

Another Presidential Cheap Shot;


Hoekstra: Hey That Was A Cheap Shot
U.S. Rep. Pete HOEKSTRA (R-Holland) today said a call out in Holland by President Barack OBAMA was, well, unpresidential.

The congressman reports that the President during his remarks said "some made the political calculation that it's better to obstruct than to lend a hand . . . Now that doesn't stop them from being at ribbon cuttings -- but that's OK."

Hoekstra said he' spent his career fighting against "wasteful federal spending" and against government picking winners and losers.

"I voted against the Democrat's $862 billion stimulus legislation because I knew it was not the right solution to put our economy back on track," Hoekstra said. "But today, as the U.S. Representative for the Second Congressional District of Michigan, I welcomed President Obama to West Michigan. Unfortunately, in my home district, the president did not reciprocate that respect and instead chose to take a cheap political shot."  {Obama said something about those who voted against Stimulus funding and then show up at ribbon cuttings - as usual, in a snarky - I'm so cool - demeanor.  The comedian-in-chief once again...] http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2010/07/obama-criticizes-hoekstra-on-c.html
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
According to the Washington Post: An al-Qaeda magazine aims to recruit Americans to launch attacks in the United States with such articles as "make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom," a senior U.S. lawmaker said Monday.
The first issue of Inspire was posted online late Sunday by al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The English-language publication includes an article by Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical U.S.-born Muslim cleric based in Yemen who is wanted by U.S. authorities. Awlaki writes:
"The tables have turned and there is no rolling back of the worldwide jihad movement. On the eve of 9/11 it was Afghanistan alone. Today it is Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia, North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and the list is growing." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/12/AR2010071204898.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wall Street Journal writes:  Just a few months ago, amid populist anger at the Fed for failing to prevent the financial crisis of 2008 and bailing out Wall Street, Congress was talking of stripping the central bank of its supervisory oversight of banks or forcing it to submit to congressional audit of its interest-rate decisions.
Instead, the new law gives the Fed more power and a better tool box to help prevent financial crises. It will become the primary regulator for large, complex financial firms of all kinds, such as American International Group, the insurer which built a massive derivatives portfolio that regulators didn't see until it was too late.
In the end, the Fed's emergency lending during the 2008 crisis will face a one-time audit to be published by Dec. 2010 and it will be required—with a two-year lag—to reveal which banks borrow from its discount window. With lobbying from several presidents of the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks, the Fed also fought off proposals to remove it from supervision of the large number of smaller banks.
"Basically, they ended up winning almost on everything that counts," says Laurence Meyer, a former Fed board governor now with economic consulting firm Macroeconomic Advisers LLC.

From ExposeObamanow: The last time the president held a press conference to talk about the Gulf Coast oil spill it was all about BP. . .they did this, and they did that. And he was making it clear THEY WOULD PAY. There was no sense of WE.. we were not going to assist them in shutting off the flow. WE were not going to bring in the skimmers. WE were not going to clean the beaches.

Today’s press conference was very different. WE closed the spill. WE succeeded. WE did this and WE did that. Today was all about Obama’s victory. Only at the end, when he said; And BP is going to have to pay not only for the clean up, but to reimburse the people and businesses for their losses, that BP was mentioned.

To this president…. all problems belong to someone else … and all successes are a result of his action. [He once again proves that he in no way is a leader.]

Exposeobama.com reports:  Former top terrorism prosecutor chides the national media for failing to investigate Barack Obama’s "borderline criminal" activities in Kenya as a U.S. senator.
Andrew C. McCarthy, the former U.S. attorney who investigated the American embassy bombing in Nairobi, Kenya, charges that Obama interfered in Kenya’s internal politics possibly in violation of the Logan Act.
The centuries-old law bars Americans who are "without authority of the United States" from conducting relations "with any foreign government … in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States."
Obama spent six days barnstorming the Kenyan countryside in support of Raila Odinga, the socialist Luo who was seeking the presidency. Appearing with Odinga at campaign stops,Obama gave speeches accusing the sitting Kenyan president of being corrupt and oppressive, leaving the masses in poverty.  [Perhaps our "brilliant", but ignorant, President really didn't know that this is against the law, as he doesn't bother to actually read laws nor put those who do around him.  Ignorance of the law, however, is not a legal defense.]  http://www.exposeobama.com/2010/07/16/ex-prosecutor-obamas-kenyan-activities-may-be-criminal/?utm_source=Expose+Obama&utm_campaign=3c3557d1d7-EO_7_16_107_16_2010&utm_medium=email

According to LifeNews.com:
“There is no doubt that the Obama Administration is funding the ‘yes’ campaign in Kenya,” [Rep. Smith] said. “By funding NGOs charged with obtaining ‘yes’ votes, the Administration has crossed the line."
"Directly supporting efforts to register ‘yes’ voters and ‘get out the yes vote’ means the U.S. government is running a political campaign in Kenya. U.S. taxpayer funds should not be used to support one side or the other," he added.
According to a chart of USAID received by the three congressmen pursuing this investigation, two organizations have been given over 150,000 dollars to push the Yes Campaign and many other groups have been given smaller amounts, including, but not limited to: http://www.exposeobama.com/2010/07/17/impeachable-offense-congressman-says-obama-admin-illegally-funding-pro-abortion-kenya-constitution/?utm_source=Expose+Obama&utm_campaign=0aa524d09e-EO_7_18_107_17_2010&utm_medium=email

Aim Organization reports: On “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” Vice President Joseph Biden called the exchange [giving up 10 Russian spies and getting only 4 back from Russia] a “good deal” and said that he would have preferred keeping the good-looking Russian woman spy and giving Rush Limbaugh to the Kremlin. [Aren't we so lucky to have a President and Vice President who are both so entertaining, so outspoken against good American citizens, and so smug?]
Writing on the website of World Affairs, Vladimir Kara-Murza says that Yelena Bonner, the widow of academician Andrei Sakharov and a prominent advocate of human rights in Russia, “called the swap a missed opportunity and denounced the Obama administration not only for agreeing to an unequal exchange (ten for four) but, more importantly, for not requesting the freeing of more political prisoners, of whom there are scores in today’s Russia.”
The hastily-arranged “spy swap” ended any chance of finding out in detail in a public forum what kind of information the Russian intelligence service had been collecting and who in the U.S. Government had possibly been recruited or used as assets and contacts.
The book, Comrade J, identifies Strobe Talbott, a former high-ranking Clinton State Department official  and the current president of the Brookings Institution, a major liberal think tank, as having been a trusted contact of the Russian intelligence service. Talbott has denied serving as a Russian agent, but when he was up for his State Department job in the Clinton Administration, he admitted a relationship with Soviet “journalist” and KGB agent Victor Louis.
Holder had no real answer to CBS “Face the Nation” host Bob Schieffer’s question of why, after spending so many years following these agents, they were not prosecuted. Holder could only claim that the 10 were somehow not as valuable as the four we got. In terms of math alone, it just doesn’t add up.
Documents in the case, as we have reported, demonstrate that the Russian agents were seeking information about the proposed arms treaty with Russia and other nuclear weapons information. That treaty, the New START, has now been signed and submitted to the Senate for ratification. It is being criticized by conservatives for giving Russia a strategic and tactical advantage in nuclear weapons.
One document says four Obama Administration officials were specifically targeted in the intelligence-gathering effort. But their names were omitted from the Justice Department documents about the case. If they actively conspired with the Russians, shouldn’t they be identified and arrested and prosecuted?
However, there is another possible reason for the quick release of the Russian agents. It is that powerful U.S. business interests told the Obama Administration that an unfolding spy scandal—and a public court case—could damage their business dealings with the Russian government. http://www.aim.org/aim-column/the-russian-agents-obama-and-the-cover-up/

The  Daily Caller writes:  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday rejected a request from top White House adviser Valerie Jarrett to speak at a jobs summit hosted by the business group, the latest escalation in an ongoing war between the two camps.

Taken collectively, the regulatory activity now underway is so overwhelming and beyond anything we have ever seen, that we risk moving this country away from a government of the people to a government of regulators,” Donahue said.
But the move to deny Jarrett a speaking spot at their event pulled back the curtain on the relationship between the Chamber, which has traditionally been one of Washington’s most powerful interest groups, and the Obama White House, which has made a point of trying to weaken the Chamber.

From Investors Business Daily:  Hysteria: A federal report indicates that the runaway Toyota problem was mainly driver error, not a manufacturing or design issue. So when do the official government and media apologies begin?  [Considering the fact that many American car companies also have large recalls, but the mighty Washington regime does nothing to condemn them, some might wonder it Obama's interference in this (again, before the facts were known) might just have been his way to put a foreing competitor out of business.]  http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article/540388/201007141854/Sudden-Exaggeration.aspx

Washington Times reports:  A week after suing Arizona and arguing that the state's immigration law creates a patchwork of rules, the Obama administration said it will not go after so-called sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with the federal government on immigration enforcement, on the grounds that they are not as bad as a state that "actively interferes. [So, it's okay NOT to follow US law, but it creates a lawsuit for those who DO follow the US laws.  That's about right - for this regime called Barack Obama's presidency.]

Politico reports:  Senate Republicans are demanding to hear from Don Berwick, the physician President Barack Obama recess-appointed last week to run the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Republicans on the Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over the post, say that not holding a hearing with Berwick would “result in circumventing the open public review that should take place for a nomination of such importance” and “casts a shadow over his legitimacy and authority to serve as administrator during a critical time for CMS.” They argue in a letter to Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0710/39759.html
As the Washington Examiner writes, concerning a column by Daniel Henniger:  Presidents can appoint but the House has no obligation whatsoever to fund positions held by individuals whose views are clearly noxious to the maintenance of the constitutional morality that insures republican stability.  You cannot persuade an opponent who has nuked you once from doing it again and again without responding with such force that the costs he must bear are unacceptable to him.

The left, according to the Washington Examiner,  "continues to try to renovate Van Jones' reputation. Jones, the former green jobs czar who disappeared from the White House in a late-night resignation after it was revealed he had signed a 9/11 Truther petition, is one of the headliners at the Hamptons Institute gathering of lefties this weekend."

CNS news follows this: A proposed sex education program that teaches fifth-graders the different ways people have intercourse and first-graders about gay love has infuriated parents and forced the school board to take a closer look at the issue. Helena school trustees were swamped Tuesday night at a hearing that left many of the hundreds of parents in attendance standing outside a packed board room. They urged the school board in this city nestled in the Rocky Mountains to take the sex education program back to the drawing board. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/69468  [The school is now reconsidering its position.]

From OneNewShow comes this:  Now comes word that $160 million in federal money will be used in Pennsylvania to finance a "high-risk insurance pool" plan that includes abortion -- and those funds reportedly are available immediately. Diane Gramley of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania says she saw the writing on the wall when the order was signed.  While Pennsylvania is the first state to be notified of such funding, Gramley says plans in other states will also cover abortions with taxpayer money used to finance them -- unless they have opted out. "The way it's written, it will cover all abortions except sex selection," she explains. "So if you want to abort your baby because it's a boy and you wanted a girl, it would not help subsidize those abortions." But anything else can be covered, she adds.  http://www.onenewsnow.com/Politics/Default.aspx?id=1088892

Gone are the standard red, white, and blue motifs, replaced by an all-black backdrop. And prominently placed on virtually every page of the site is a quote credited to a man who facilitated a greater role for socialists and communists at the U.N., and the global "workers rights movement." http://spectator.org/archives/2010/07/16/with-liberty-and-global-justic  [Everywhere we look, Obama's anti-America agenda shows its ugly head. Sometimes subtle, but inching away from our ideals just the same.]

An Amazing Speech -And A Fun Sam I Am


American Suicide

We know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that context
his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an
immigration overpopulation conference in Washington , DC , filled to
capacity by many of America 's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant
college professor by the name of Victor Hansen Davis talked about his
latest book, 'Mexifornia,' explaining how immigration - both legal and
illegal was destroying the entire state of California . He said it would
march across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American
Dream.

Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and
gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America

The audience sat spellbound as he described eight methods for the
destruction of the United States . He said, 'If you believe that
America is too smug, too self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy
America . It is not that hard to do. No nation in history has survived
the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great
civilizations rise and fall and that 'An autopsy of history would show
that all great nations commit suicide.''

'Here is how they do it,' Lamm said:

'First, to destroy America , turn America into a bilingual or multi-lingual and bicultural country... 
History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more
competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. The historical scholar, Seymour Lipset, put it this way: 'The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.' Canada , Belgium , Malaysia , and Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy , if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with Basques, Bretons, Corsicans and Muslims.'

Lamm went on:

'Second, to destroy America , invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to maintain their culture. Make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal; that there are no cultural differences. Make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are due
solely to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out of bounds.

'Third, we could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec ' without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. 
As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: 'The apparent success of our own multi-ethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentricy and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.' Lamm said, 'I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various cultural
subgroups living in America enforcing their differences rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities.'

'Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. 
I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school.'

'My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of 'Victimology.' 
I would get all minorities to think that their lack of success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority.'

'My sixth plan for America 's downfall would include dual citizenship, and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity. 
I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they are not killing each other. A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical precept. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic games.. A common enemy, Persia , threatened their liberty.
Yet all these bonds were not strong enough to overcome two factors: local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions. Greece fell. 'E. Pluribus Unum' -- From many, one. In that historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of
the 'Unum,' we will 'Balkanize' America as surely as Kosovo.'

'Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits. Make it taboo to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' 
I would find a word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt discussion and debate. Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established multi-cultum, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of 'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration has been good for America , it must always be good. I would make every individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of millions of them.'

In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow. Profound silence followed. Finally he said, 'Lastly, I would censor Victor Hanson Davis 's book 'Mexifornia.' His book is dangerous. It exposes the plan to destroy America .. If you feel America deserves to be destroyed, don't read that book.'

There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically, quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today.
Discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness. Even barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we celebrate 'diversity.' American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create a Third World in America Take note of California and other states. Todate, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent of George Orwell's book '1984.' In that story, three slogans are engraved in the Ministry of Truth building:
'War is peace,' 'Freedom is slavery,' and 'Ignorance is strength.'

Governor Lamm walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the  conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California
wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American Dream.

I do not like when Congress steals,

Kenya Abortions; Our Radical Justice Department;

Daily Caller reports: Republican Reps. Darrell Issa of California, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Chris Smith of New Jersey are calling for a probe to investigate whether Obama administration officials are violating federal law by using taxpayer money to lobby for a new constitution in Kenya that supports and legalizes abortion. http://dailycaller.com/2010/07/09/lawmakers-question-whether-obama-violated-law-by-backing-pro-abortion-kenyan-constitution/

Bigjournalism opines: Not only does Todd Gaziano (Congressional appointee to the United States Commission on Civil Rights) claim that the 2008 Election Day voter intimidation charge against the Philadelphia New Black Panther Party was“open and shut,” but that Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes ordered, “Never bring another lawsuit against a black or other national minority, apparently no matter what they do.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Washington Times reports: J. Christian Adams, until recently a career attorney in the Voting Section of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, testified under oath on July 6 about an increasingly radical Justice Department before the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.
According to Mr. Adams, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes last November instructed prosecutors on the "motor voter" law that governs voter registration. Regarding that statute's Section 8 - which requires that local officials purge their rolls of relocated, ineligible and dead voters - Mr. Adams recalls hearing Ms. Fernandes, an Obama political appointee, say: "We have no interest in enforcing this provision of the law. It has nothing to do with increasing turnout, and we are just not going to do it." Such lawlessness, of course, invites ACORN-style vote fraud.  http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/jul/8/team-obama-turns-blind-eye-to-voter-intimidation/print/

From Investors.com comes this: Every year, the Annual Report of the Social Security Board of Trustees comes out between mid-April and mid-May.  Now it's July, and there's no sign of this year's report.  What is the Obama administration hiding?
The annual report includes detailed information about Social Security and its financing over the next 75 years, produced by the Office of the Actuary of the Social Security Administration.
The Congressional Budget Office reported last week in its Long Term Budget Outlook that Social Security was already running a deficit this year.  According to last year's Social Security Trustees Report, that was not supposed to happen until 2015, with the trust fund to run out completely by 2037. http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article/539411/201007061804/Are-Overdue-Reports-Concealing-ObamaCare-Impact-On-Medicare-.aspx

"Diamond Offshore announced Friday that its Ocean Endeavor drilling rig will leave the Gulf of Mexico and move to Egyptian waters immediately — making it the first to abandon the United States in the wake of the BP oil spill and a ban on deep-water drilling.And the Ocean Endeavor's exodus probably won't be the last, according to oil industry officials and Gulf Coast leaders who warn that other companies eager to find work for the now-idled rigs are considering moving them outside the U.S." http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/7101738.html

[I see that the current false statements and failure to disclose current events at the NYT did not just begin in the past few decades. It is a part of their proud past.]  "Further investigation brought to light the fact that New York Times reporter Walter Duranty knew of Stalin's murder of ten million people and refused to report it. To add insult to injury, Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer Prize in the early 1930s for his reporting from the Soviet Union. Nearly eighty years later, the New York Times has still refused to apologize to the Ukrainian people for its complicity in the murder of ten million people. They still hang Walter Duranty's Pulitzer Prize in their building.  There is a record of it. It did happen. The New York Times lied, and ten million people died. My father told the truth. For that I will never forgive the New York Times." http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/07/crimes_of_the_ny_times.html  [Can someone tell my just why we should ever take news coming from the NYT as the gospel truth?  They have been proven to have lied many times.  And yet, this is the go-to newspaper for those on the Liberal side of America....]

It is here that you will find the video of:
A Mexican-born candidate for U.S. Senate said he is considering a lawsuit against the Missouri secretary of state for discrimination because her office forced him to produce a birth certificate but "didn’t make Obama show proof of citizenship" to appear on the ballot.
Hector Maldonado, 38, a self-described "Lincolnian Republican conservative," is seeking the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Missouri. He was born one of 10 children in Durango, Mexico.Maldonado explains why he thinks his rights were violated when the secretary of state’s office asked for proof of U.S. citizenship when he filed to run for the Senate.
Maldonado, a U.S. Army combat veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, explains on his website that he became a U.S. citizen in 1995. But he said Secretary of State Robin Carnahan sent him a letter in May asking him to produce documentation.
"It said, ‘Hey, you have to prove you’re a citizen.’ I ignored it," he said. "You know, Obama ignored it, so I figured I could get away with it, too."

Amused by Tea Parties; Recess Appoiontment; Department of Justice and the Black Panthers; Obama Loses Another Court Challenge; and Lame Duck Laws

A blast from the past: "What President of the United States, asks Daily Caller, mocks and makes fun of the people he serves? Do you ever remember a President being so flippant and condescending?
“I have been amused a little over the past couple of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes,” Obama said.*
President Barack Obama struck a hyperpartisan note Thursday, telling Democrats that he was “amused” by the Tax Day Tea Party rallies.
Obama, addressing a Democratic National Committee (DNC) fundraiser in Miami, did little to endear himself to the Tea Party groups protesting around the country, saying “they should be saying thank you” because of the tax cuts he has signed into law.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[It is in the news that our President has made a recess appointment of his pick to be Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).   What you may not remember from a blog a month or so ago is this, as reported by ABC News]: In an interview last year with Biotechnology Healthcare, Berwick said society makes decisions about rationing all the time, and that the "decision is not whether or not we will ration care -- the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open. And right now, we are doing it blindly." [Is it any wonder that Republicans may have given the big O a hard time if Congress had been able to do their duty to vote for him or not?  It's yet one more radical appointee.  It is getting harder to believe it is all a coincidence.] 
In 2008 while speaking on the British health care system in the UK, Berwick said wealthy individuals must redistribute their wealth to those less fortunate for health care funding. Also during this speech, he told those in attendance that he opposes free markets.
“Any health care funding plan that is just equitable civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional.”

Glenn Beck reports:  The Department of Justice apparently doesn't think the voter intimidation at the polls in Philadelphia by the Black Panthers merits any further attention. Perhaps they haven't seen the video of the same Black Panther who was at the polls [in an earlier venue] also calling for white people (crackers, as he so eloquently put it) and their babies to be killed. He said, " I hate white people, all of them. Every last iota of a cracker, I hate him. You want freedom? You are going to have to kill some crackers. You might have to kill some of their babies". [There is more.  You find this difficult to believe?  Here is King Shameer Shabazi (or something like that) ] http://www.exposeobama.com/2010/07/07/videoblack-panther-that-obama-admin-protected-advocates-killing-white-babies/?utm_source=Expose+Obama&utm_campaign=cc6ef64b88-EO_7_7_107_7_2010&utm_medium=email
[The DOJ had actually already won the case and was preparing for sentencing when suddenly the case was dropped.  But then the administration moved to dismiss the charges the following month after getting one of the New Black Panther members to agree to not carry a "deadly weapon" near a polling place until 2012. [So - it will be AOK to arm themselves IN 2012 - as in our next Presidential Election?  The Justice Department decided to drop the case because prosecuting blacks is racist- and because the NAACP put pressure on them.  I believe we are on the cusp of becoming a Third World country - where our vote is threatened by thugs and Black Panthers, and ACORN actively works for unfair elections.] http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/06/ex-official-accuses-justice-department-racial-bias-black-panther-case/    
[It has now been told that the purpose of the Black Panthers was not only to intimidate votors - but to distract votetrs so that the fraudulent ACORN voters would not be noticed.  Our country is in serious troubhle

Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution demands that a US President "shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed." Hence, the President is not only the Commander in Chief he is also the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Law Enforcement Officer. [Is this grounds for Impeachment, along with others?]

The Obama administration lost its court bid to maintain a six-month moratorium on offshore deepwater drilling which a federal judge ordered lifted last month. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the government's emergency request to stay that judge's order pending appeal.
The motion was denied because the government failed to show "a likelihood of irreparable injury if the stay is not granted," the appeals panel judges wrote in a 2-1 ruling.

The government also "made no showing that there is any likelihood that drilling activities will be resumed pending appeal." http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.5812f97c10bdfbe8edaa2f9744f1bba2.41&show_article=1

The rush to recess gives Democrats little time to pass any major laws. That's why there have been signs in recent weeks that party leaders are planning an ambitious, lame-duck session to muscle through bills in December they don't want to defend before November. Retiring or defeated members of Congress would then be able to vote for sweeping legislation without any fear of voter retaliation.
"I've got lots of things I want to do" in a lame duck, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D., W. Va.) told reporters in mid June. North Dakota's Kent Conrad, chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, wants a lame-duck session to act on the recommendations of President Obama's deficit commission, which is due to report on Dec. 1. "It could be a huge deal,"
In the House, Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, told reporters last month that for bills like "card check"—the measure to curb secret-ballot union elections—"the lame duck would be the last chance, quite honestly, for the foreseeable future."

Other lame-duck possibilities? Senate ratification of the New Start nuclear treaty, a federally mandated universal voter registration system to override state laws, and a budget resolution to lock in increased agency spending.
Then there is pork. A Senate aide told me that "some of the biggest porkers on both sides of the aisle are leaving office this year, and a lame-duck session would be their last hurrah for spending."
