Presidential overreach part 2

So the interest rates doubled under the current economic conditions but lowered when the FED began printing moneybut lowered the value of the dollar doing it.

Congress, before the passage of the first stimulus, was threatened with martial law if the stimulus wasn't passed.

He has to have news conferences scaring the American people on the dire nature of circumstances we face if we don't do what he says and to defend his position on the legislation he wants passed in a hurry.

Cap and trade passes regardless of the opposition, He is non-partisan.

He seems to be unaware or really does not care that our money isn't worth anything, that our property value isn't worth anything, our jobs aren't paying us anything, that healthcare will result in the rationing of care that will single OUT the sick and elderly.

Obama says that the US federal government will cover costs of the nationalized healthcare that are incurred by the individual states? How is that going to happen when we are broke?I suggested to my wife that we should wait till we are absolutely broke and plan a trip across Europe but unlike the US government I couldn't or wouldn't put that burden on my family, friends or fellow citizens but you get my point.

Obama's heal;thcare is admittedly an experiment. This experiment is the most dangerous and most grave threat to our already trashed economic system and what is worse is that it is irreversible and permanent government involvement!!!

I saw on the news tonight a guy that went to Canada undercover to probe their socialized healthcare. Steve crowder's info can be found here: www.pjtv.com

Presidential overeach part 1

The Constitution of the United States Article IV, Section 4 indicates that " the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government . . ."

Both the national and state governments are republican in nature. Republican means that the people's representatives govern according to a written delegation of authority ( The Constitution, rule of Law). This is in contrast to a democratic system in which the representatives govern according to the popular consent(Majority rule) of the people, whether that consent is written or unwritten.

In my continuation from the previous post I thought I would relate some notes to some of today's stories in the news, You be the judge.

Ben Franklin said " When the people find a way to vote themselves money, it will be the end of the Republic" (paraphrased)

Social security according to many sources will be broke in less than 7 years, some feel we are now since we are borrowing money. How is it that the social security administration has moiney to spend on corporate meetings in posh hotels and dance parties?

Rick Santorum, Penn senator says nationalized healthcare will be the greatest threat to America"

It seems that the American people have become a succesful generation of welfare recipients, whom have found out how to vote themselves money.recipients.

Carol swain, Vanderbuilt university professor admits Obama's move is toward "socialism" and repetitively says the "end justifies the means". For those who do not know, this statement was made over and over again during the time of the holocaust.

Simply stated, this statement means that whatever we need to fulfill our agenda, in this case what we do to the American people, will be worth it. Eery when you consider what the implications of her statements make when compared to Hitlers reign when the killing of 10 million people was to the end that justified the means that the pure race would emerge.

In the book by David Noebel, Battle for truth, it is explained that when the end justifies the means is terminolgy used by totalitarian governments. They feel It is an acceptable way to convince people to do things, no matter how horrific, because it is for the "greater good" to ease ones concious for the acts they are asked to commit.

So, we have czars, greater good, end justifies means, socialism...getting the picture?

David Shoen, an democratic pollster stated that "with this healthcare we do not know where we are going" Is he thinking that this administration can outsmart the history of Socialism in other countries and the statistics provided in the history asscoiated with it?

Massachuetts and Honolulu, Hawaii both have experimented with Socialized medicine and have found themselves bankrupt. Why does this administration think that just because socialism failed in every other country and all through history and now in Massachusetts and Honolulu Hawaii are claiming it doesn't work would he continue to push it?

Anyone who has a peanut for a brain understands the ramifications of a socialist government.

He doesn't care!! He is on a mission to fulfill his agenda before his popularity runs out, to make us vulnerable for only God knows, I sure don't but it doesn't look good.

Partisanship? Nancy Pelosi tells Dems not to listen to republicans?

Spending? budget projections estimate 4 trilion in 2009 while 50% of this is borrowed?

This administration is delaying their issues on what to do with the Gitmo detainees for six months because they don't know what to do yet but they will force an unread 1000 page healthcare reform bill through that hasn't even been read? Who's side is he on again?

What about the No-bid contracts? Obama said if we cut them out we will save the country 40 billion dollars a year? Brett Blackledge(AP) says these no-bid contracts are GIVEN to disadvantaged companies. 25% of the deptof defense budget were no-bid contracts Welfare anyone?

What about the push for climate change? (why is everything have to be pushed? Because he knows if people get a chance to read it they would vote against it!!)

Dear Mr. Obama

Dear Mr. Obama,

I would like to begin by saying that I think you are a man with tremendous charisma. I think when you walk into a room you have the ability to put people at ease with your smile and your relaxed demeanor helps others to relax.

I was warmed myself by knowing that we have friends that went to the same high school, one of which is my best friends sister, the fact that we bodysurfed the same beach, ate at the same local food joints, and understand the local way of life in the islands.You appear to be a likable guy and my friends sister says she voted for you simply because "you, Barry, were fun to party with"

This is my perception of you before you became president and the decisions you have and the decisions others have made who folow you thus far. You obviously still have the same effect on those whom still believe in you and the lies that you tell and the legislation you "force" on the American people who are too ignorant to know better.

I must admit you did begin gently by saying that you were not a socialist, promoting socialism, that you wouldn't raise our taxes, that you would fix our economy. Then as time went by after you began taking over banks and the auto industry saying you were not promoting socialism, you began to try to push through nationized healthcare but this time for some reason I haven't heard you say that "this isn't socialism". Are we to understand that because no one has mentioned it we actually are now?

I guess if you tell people something long enough they will believe it or become numb and the terms of anti-american sentiments like "sociaism" will not be as hard to swallow.

Mr. Obama, why does everything you do need to be "pushed" or "forced" through? Is it actually a smoke screen for what is actually hidden legislation written under the radar because you know that the American people would not pass this hidden legislation on it's own?

As for taking the oath of president, didn't you swear to uphold the Constitutiton of the United States? Did you know that upholding it is not a code word for defamtion, defilement, contorting it, manipulating it but to understand it as when it was written? Didn't you say you were a constitutional attorney? It would almost appear that you became a constitutitonal attorney to find ways in which to destroy it rather than uphold it.

I was told as a child that I need to choose my friends carefully because I would be known by my associations. Business and personal relationships know this, why are you exempt?

Why is it that you will not provide enough information to prove your citizenship to put and end to this issue? Why is it you claim to end the "good ol boy network" but nominate your various corrupt associates from Chicago.

Why is it you say you are not a muslim but have family that is, spend your presidency bowing to them, befriending them and promoting them while apologizing for our actions as US citizens?
Isn't it ironic that you claim not to be a muslim but christian? Isn't it ironic that there is the first "rise to Islam" group in Chicago this week and they chant "free speech is "war on Islam."

Didn't you say we were not at war with Islam?If we are not at war with Islam, can a country be at war with itself? How an muslim countries and those here who are muslim, while utilizing our "free speech" rights granted to US citizens by this country, say free speech is "war with Islam" and get away with it while it is our first amendment right guaranteed by the Constitution?Then your congress passes "hate crimes legislation" that actually prohibits our "free speech"

Haven't you over stepped your boundaries as president? If you are upholding the constitution you are.

Does it say that the people all have the right to do as the president says? That Americans need to pay more taxes, buy certian color cars, meet certian fuel standards, take what kind of healthcare the president says?

Does it say that you have the right to force and push, legislation before those interested have a time to read it? How about the upcoming census? Does the constitution say that we have to fill it out or we will suffer penalties?

Where does it say that I need to share my wealth created by my own sweat, blood and tears with others who didn't work for it, that we should grant illegal aliens amnesty against the will of the people, that the government can force the people to fund, at the taxpayers expense abortions for those who are irresponsible or decide that birth control isn't an option?To teach ouor children in public school that evolution is a fact, that our founders were homosexuals and that they were born that way?

How about parents rights?
Immigration?
Judicial tyranny?
citizens rights?
How about the the constitutional violations Mr. Obama?

To set the record straight for those who have never read it:

Constitution Article 2:
Presidential duties:

term of four years (not to be amended without peoples consent-not forced)
greatest number of votes ( not to include cheating- but it doesnt say you can't)
natural born citizen
age minimum of 35 years
commander in cheif of army and navy
power to grant pardons
power to make treaties with consent of the senate
from time to time( not every day) give information on the state of the union
removed from office for the conviction of treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

To your advantage, you have had Bill Clinton as a predecesor to beg the question:
I guess it all depends on "what the meaning of "is" is.... well, "what the meaning of the above listed items mean?"

Mr. Obama,I see freedom of speech being violated for Americans and promoted to muslims and minority groups which in the definition of Marxism, is to create a new world of "classless people", one where you say guns will not be needed because everyone will have the same thing.If you haven't thought this through well enough would be impossible. Isn't this where you are going next? To our guns?

I do not see in the above list of presidential duties to:

To force and push legislation, open borders, apologize to other countries, to promote minorities above the will of the majority(unless outlines in the constitution), raise our taxes so high that we cannot afford basic living expenses, to create bogus legislation, to demoralize this country, to banrupt it, to even be invilved in the economy much less be looked at as the "messiah, be-all, fix all czar"

I am hoping that even the most ignorant will awaken quickly to the damage you and congress are performing in the most untransparent transparency administration. You speak of being transparent and make it look like you are but it is merely a smoke screen, to try to make us unable to see your "slight of hand."

Some of us do.

Sincerely and with all due respect,
Tom

Letter written from a soldier in Iraq

Sometimes I come across an email that speaks the truth of my heart in a way that I could not even have expressed it. This is one of those emails. Below is a letter supposedly written from a soldier in Iraq. I do not know if the letter is real but what I can tell you is that I agree with every word and I know for a fact there are others whom agree wholeheartedly. The letter is below:

I was just watching the news, and I caught part of a reporton Michael Jackson. As we all know, Jackson died the otherday. He was an entertainer who performed for decades. He made millions, he spent millions, and he did a lot of things that make him a villain to many people.

I understand that his death would affect a lot of people, and I respect those people who mourn his death, but that isn't the point of my rant.Why is it that when ONE man dies, the whole of America loses their minds with grief.

When a man dies whose only contribution to the country was to ENTERTAIN people, the American people find the need to flock to a memorial in Hollywood, and even Congress sees the need to hold a 'moment of silence' for his passing?Am I missing something here?

ONE man dies, and all of a sudden he's a freaking martyr because he entertained us for a few decades? What about all those SOLDIERS who have died to give us freedom? All those Soldiers who, knowing that they would be asked to fight in a war, still raised their hands and swore to defend the Constitution and the United States of America. Where is their moment of silence?

Where are the people flocking to their graves or memorials and mourning overthem because they made the ultimate sacrifice? Why is it when a Soldier dies, there are more people saying "good riddance," and "Thank God for IEDs?" When did this country become so calloused to the sacrifice of GOOD MEN and WOMEN, that they can arbitrarily blow off their deaths, and instead, throw themselves into mourning for a 'Pop Icon?

'I think that if they are going to hold a moment of silence IN CONGRESS for Michael Jackson, they need to hold a moment of silence for every service member killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. They need to PUBLICLY recognize every life that has been lost so that the American people can live their callous little lives in the luxury and freedom that WE, those that are living and those that have gone on, have provided for them.

But, wait, that would take too much time, because there havebeen so many willing to make that sacrifice. After all, we will never make millions of dollars. We will never star in movies, or write hit songs that the world will listen too. We only shed our blood, sweat, and tears so that people can enjoy what they have.

Sorry if I have offended, but I needed to say it. Feel free to pass this along if you want.Remember these five words the next time you think of someone who is serving in the military:

"So that others may live..."

Only two people have ever effectively given their lives for you. Jesus Christ and The American G.I.One died for your sins, the other died to give you freedom.

Homeland Insecurity-Constitutional emergency

Hmmm, This didn't seem to make it into the news either? Wow, What is going on out there that we are being held from? My wife says I have become a "Conspiracy theorist" and that I need to remove my "tin Hat." I get that from people from time to time but I remember not to long ago, people laughed at the idea of a new or one world order or that America was headed straight for Socialism, or that America was on the verge of socio and political-economic collapse and so on.

What do we see now? The move toward Socialism, the movement toward a one world order and the collapse of our political system, our society and our economy. Repeat something long enough whether it be true or fiction, good or bad and the people will become numb and accept anything.

Conspiracy theory? How about "Keep the American people in the dark and keep em busy with deaths of rock stars and hollywood idols and similar trivialities( Death is never trivial only compared to this countries present issues) until the crap hits the fan and they will never know what hit em"

Here is another example.

HOMELAND INSECURITY Mexican agents headed for U.S.?

Federal drill to focus on response to terrorPosted: July 18, 200912:25 am EasternBy Bob Unruh© 2009
WorldNetDaily

Agents for Mexico soon could be roaming the roads of several southern states - along with representatives of Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom - under a Federal Emergency Management Agency exercise that is going to focus "exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection.

"The event is called National Level Exercise 2009 and is part of an annual series of exercises formerly called TOPOFF, for Top Officials, under the National Exercise Program that "serves as the nation's overarching exercise program for planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating national level exercises."

The idea has some bloggers stunned."Imagine, armed Mexican troops protecting us from 'terrorism' in the United States! Don't you feel safer already? ¿Dónde están sus documentos?" wrote an alarmed blogger at TargetFreedom."Rumors of foreign troops on our soil have been circulated for a long time. BUT this is not a rumor. It is a blatant fact as stated by FEMA on their government website.

THIS IS AN INVASION," the blogger wrote.Proclaim your beliefs loudly. Get your "Legalize the Constitution" bumper sticker!Not quite, the government said. In an announcement on the FEMA website, officials described it as a "White House directed, congressionally-mandated exercise that includes the participation of all appropriate federal department and agency senior officials, their deputies, staff and key operational elements."

Oh, yes, various "state, tribal, local, and private sector" interests will participate and "this year the United States welcomes the participation of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom in NLE 09."The government's announcement said the exercise will focus on "intelligence and information sharing among intelligence and law enforcement communities.

"The scenario "will begin in the aftermath of a national terrorist event outside of the United States, and exercise play will center on preventing subsequent efforts by the terrorists to enter the United States and carry out additional attacks. This scenario enables participating senior officials to focus on issues related to preventing terrorist events domestically and protecting U.S. critical infrastructure."

The exercise will "allow terrorism prevention efforts to proceed to a logical end (successful or not), with no requirement for response or recovery activities," the government said.FEMA Region VI, including the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Texas, will be the field of operations for the exercise starting July 27 to test intelligence collection and sharing, counterterrorism investigation, security, infrastructure protection and other facets.

During a previous similar exercise, WND reported that Gen. Victor E. Renuart, the commander of USNORTHCOM, confirmed he would deploy U.S. troops on American soil if the president declared a domestic emergency.USNORTHCOM, which was established in 2002 with a responsibility for "homeland defense" of an area including U.S. Canada, Mexico and parts of the Caribbean, would be ready to come to the aid of law enforcement agencies or National Guard units if needed, officials confirmed.

When another terror drill, involving the detonation of a "nuclear" device, was conducted, media outlets funded by billionaire George Soros were warning it may be a "false flag" operation that would involve the detonation of a real bomb to set the stage for martial law.The 2007 drill was in Portland, Ore., and brought together federal, state and local efforts.

At the time, Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, suggested then, "Maybe the people who think there's a conspiracy out there are right."But many have not yet forgotten that the same government running the exercise only weeks ago described ordinary protesters in the U.S. as "low-level" terror suspects.The U.S. Department of Defense had included in a training course a question that defined protesters as terrorists.

According to the letter from the Northern California ACLU, the DoD's "Annual Level 1 Antiterrorism (AT) Awareness Training for 2009" tells department personnel "that certain First Amendment-protected activity may amount to 'low-level terrorism.'"Specifically the training "Knowledge Check 1" asks, "Which of the following is an example of low-level terrorism activity?"The multiple choices are: Attacking the Pentagon, IEDs, Hate crimes against racial groups and Protests.The correct answer in the training course is "Protests."

Are you ready for a second Declaration of Independence? Sign the petition promoting true freedom once again!The Pentagon later withdrew the question."They should have made it clearer," Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Les Melnyk told Fox. He declined to specify when the line would be crossed from one into the other.But he said all of the 1,546 people who took the exam and saw the question will be notified of the "error" and told that there is a difference between lawful objections and violent unrest.

The whole episode developed just weeks after a scandal erupted over a Department of Homeland Security report that described as "right-wing extremists" those who oppose abortion and support secure national borders.Richard Thompson, president of the Thomas More Law Center, said his organization sued over the DHS "extremism" report.

The DHS report was "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." WND has posted the report online for readers to see.The report linked returning veterans with the possibility of terrorism, and when it was released it created such a furor for Napolitano she has given several explanations for it, including that she would have reworded the report and that it was issued by a rogue employee.

She later apologized to veterans for having linked them to terror.But Thompson noted that the report also targeted as "potential terrorists" Americans who:Oppose abortionOppose same-sex marriageOppose restrictions on firearmsOppose lax immigration lawsOppose the policies of President Obama regarding immigration, citizenship, and the expansion of social programsOppose continuation of free trade agreementsAre suspect of foreign regimesFear Communist regimesOppose a "one world" government Bemoan the decline of U.S. stature in the world. Are upset with loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs to China and India, and moreThompson told WND no apology has been offered to the members of any of those classes of citizens.Thompson said the original "extremism" report was "the tip of the iceberg. … Conservative Americans should be very outraged."

Is anyone putting this together yet? We have now become the target of the very people whom we voted into office.

The patriotic, white, Christian, conservative American who opposes the "new world agenda" is now the target and has become the new face of terrorism without firing a shot, without blowing up buildings,strapping bombs to our children, without even as much as an loud disagreement to be heard.

I am criminalized all while waking up every morning, going to work 9-5, coming home to the family five days a week only to have a few hours every night in my own home enjoying our time without disrupting others around me?While obeying the laws no matter how unconstitutitonal they may be, paying taxes without proper taxation without representation and the extreme overreach of government into every aspect of our lives...then they want to consider martial law?

I am a terrorist because I prefer to have a child rather than to kill it?

I am a terrorist because I enjoy the rights whom were given to me by God and guaranteed by the Constitution which is still, at this moment, the law of the land.

I am a terrorist because I do not believe in same sex , restrictions on firearms.

I Oppose lax immigration laws, Oppose the policies of President Obama regarding immigration, citizenship, and the expansion of social programs.

Oppose continuation of free trade agreements, I am suspect of foreign regimes, I Fear Communist regimes and

I Oppose a "one world" government and Bemoan the decline of U.S. stature in the world?

Who has taken over this country, the Communists?

It was once respectable and honorable to have the traits I possess now I am a crimminal in my own country even though some present laws still allow me some of these freedoms?

The pathetic part is most Americans either did not see it coming or welcomed the change.

Remember those of you who voted for "Change" here it is and I hope you like it because if things continue the way they have it will be irreversible if you "change" your mind.

Cass Sunstein: Freedom of speech beware

Last Update 12:09PMJuly 11, 2009Posted 12:05pm July 11, 2009

When it comes to the First Amendment, Team Obama believes in Global Chilling.

Cass Sunstein, a Harvard Law professor who has been appointed to a shadowy post that will grant him powers that are merely mind-boggling, explicitly supports using the courst to impose a "chilling effect" on speech that might hurt someone's feelings. He thinks that the bloggers have been rampaging out of control and that new laws need to be written to corral them.

Advance copies of Sunstein's new book, "On Rumors: How Falsehoods Spread, Why We Believe Them, What Can Be Done," have gone out to reveiwers ahead of its September Publication date, but considering the prominence with which Sunstein is about to be endowed, his worrying views are fair game now.

Sunstein is President Obama's choice to head the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.

It's the bland titles that should scare you the most."Although obscure," reported the Wall Street Journal, "the post wields outsize power. It oversees regulations throughout the government, from the EPA to the OSHA. Obama aides have said the job will be crucial as the new administration overhauls financial services regulations, attempts to pass universial health care and tries to forge a new approach to controlling emissions of greenhouse gasses."Sunstein was appointed, no doubt, off the success of "Nudge," his previous book, which suggests that government ought to gently force people to be better human beings.

Czar is too mild a world for what Sunstein is about to become. How about "regulator in chief"? How about "lawgiver"? He is Obama's Obama.In "Oh Rumors," Sunstein reviews how views get cemented in one camp even when people are presented with persuasive evidence to the contrary.

He worries that we are headed for a future in which "people's beliefs are a product of social networks working as echo chambers in which false rumors spread like wildfire."

That future, though, is already here, according to Sunstein. "We hardly need to imagine a world, however, in which people and institutions are being harmed by the rapid spread of damaging falsehoods via the Internet," he writes. "We live in that world. What might be done to reduce the harm?"

Sunstein questions the current libel standard, which requires proving "actual malice" against those who write about public figures, including celebrities. More "negligence" isn't libelious, but Sunstein wonders, "Is it so important to provide breathing space for damaging falsehoods about entertainers?" Caleb rags, get ready to hire more lawyers.

"This is scary stuff folks. I can see this easily going out of control to the point where anyone questions anything that the other person or organization does not like, and those who do the questioning will find themselves with a problem that there will not be enough money to hire the lawyers one will need to defend their rights to free speech. If you think that protecting your guns was important, this far surpasses that!
