Obama

It seems that a pillar of the Obamagenda is the redistribution of wealth. To be fair, I admit he warned us of this during his campaign. However, as one who has worked all his life to earn a living, I find this concept abhorrent.  I consider myself to be in good company in this matter.  Thomas Jefferson himself observed:  “The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”  That my friends is just common sense.

However, if Mr. Obama would confiscate what I have earned to give to others of his choosing, I beseech him to refrain from the ruse of first running the seized funds through huge socialist, government-run programs.  There, of course, bureaucrats, legislators, politicians, insiders and just plain thieves each siphon off their chunk leaving the remainder to to be sifted through the inefficiencies inherent in any government run program.  The result is that the supposed beneficiaries of Mr. Obama’s generosity receive only the dross that dribbles out the other end and I am left wondering why I work so hard.

Skip the pitiful attempt to legitimize this armed robbery by forced taxation! Give them the grass Mr. President, not the horse crap that results when you process the grass through the government horse!

Why ruin the economy of a perfectly good nation and condemn it to the historical scrap heap of failed socialist states a few decades hence?

Just give ‘em the flippin’ grass!

First let me make it perfectly clear that Mr. Jones and I disagree violently on how to run this country and how to solve the problems that face us.  Therefore, I am happy to see that he is no longer serves in an official capacity in our government.

Having said that, I must say that I respect Van Jones. He has not attempted to deceive us. He seems to have always been up-front and candid about his radical views.  He is what he has said he is and even though we disagree, this country thrives on respectful differences.

Mr. Jones is not the problem and never has been. Mr. Obama who appointed him to the position is the problem.

Jones was appointed in hopes his radicalism would slip by the American people as he was appointed to a position of great power and influence, but unlike those filling other similar positions as authorized by our Constitution, Mr. Jones was spared the process of senate scrutiny and approval. This flies directly in the face of the checks and balances built into our Constitution.

Mr. Jones is not a deceiver; Mr. Obama is.  Notice also, when Mr. Jones’ candor shined the light on Mr. Obama and his radical agenda, Mr. Obama dropped his friend like a hot potato.

Mr. Obama invited us to judge him by those with whom he has chosen to surrounded himself. The deeper we look into that the more frightening this national nightmare becomes.

This article from former Obama supporter Diana West was published at jewishworldreview.com , a great source of contemporary thought and ideas. It was published under the title: “What Obama’s hiding and the media are ignoring”. It calmly and rationally approaches the issue of Barack Hussein Obama’s Long Form Certificate of Live Birth:

Barack Obama’s birthday is Aug. 4, and I hereby urge the president to bestow a party favor on the nation that elected him: a verifying look at the original “long-form” version of his birth certificate.

It’s important to grasp the weird fact that this simple request, requiring nothing more than a nod of the presidential head, ranks as fightin’ words to American journalists. Right wing, left wing, these ladies and gentlemen of the Fourth Estate seem to want nothing less than to gain access to the one piece of evidence that could lay the “natural born” issue to rest once and for all.

The media have made their aversion to proof perversely clear: Whatever Obama does, their jarringly unified message is that he certainly should not direct the state of Hawaii to make public his original, long-form birth certificate.

Even though such a presidential directive would instantly dispense with the divisive question of whether President Obama’s still-secret, long-form birth certificate contains compromising information, it’s unlikely we’ll get a peak. The entire controversy would disappear forever if there were nothing more sensational on that document than the name of the Hawaiian hospital where baby Barack came into the world. Such mundane info is the kind of thing that’s missing from what We the People have been provided to date: brave-new-world-like Internet images of the short-form Certification of Live Birth (COLB) that the Obama campaign made available in 2008 online.

I emphasize the web-projected, liquid-crystal display nature of the imagery that the mainstream media (MSM) have unquestioningly relied on, even as they have imperiously dismissed all questions regarding its veracity and provenance as “Internet-fueled rumor.” In MSM eyes, the Obama campaign document becomes the rock-solid truth, while questions about it amount to “Internet-fueled rumor.”

To be sure, there is COLB-corroborating evidence available — contemporaneous announcements of baby Barack’s arrival in local Hawaiian papers are usually cited as the clincher — but none of it is definitive. The president’s maternal grandparents could have been the ones who placed the birth announcement in the papers, regardless of whether their first grandchild was in state residence. Even the oracles of the Hawaiian health department, periodically trotted out to pronounce that all is as should be with the president’s top secret birth papers, leave us with nothing concrete. Why won’t the president just give us a look at the thing and be done with it?

This is the mystery behind the unease “out there,” unease the MSM are now simultaneously picking up on even as they try to squelch it. And this is true particularly after CNN’s Lou Dobbs raised the issue in a historically resonant manner: Dobbs trusts that Obama is a natural-born citizen but would like the president to verify his status regardless.

And why not? It is no accident that history and literature are replete with rocky tales of doubtful succession, of the maladjustment brought on by pretenders to thrones. There is something in human nature that yearns for the rightful leader. And there is something in our Constitution that requires it.

So why won’t this president, who, after all, promised the American people an unprecedented level of transparency, reveal his original long-form birth certificate? Unheeded, the “natural born” controversy will roil indefinitely, further fired by the vagaries of Hawaiian law — specifically, Section 338-17.8, titled “Certificates for children born out of State” — which makes state birth documentation available to children born out of state, even born out of the country.

None of this is healthy, not the president’s suspicious secrecy and not the MSM’s protective incuriosity. It almost seems as if someone has something to hide.

What Obama’s hiding and the media are ignoring

Police State U.S.A?

Ok, go ahead and say it… you know you’ve thought it: U.S. Police State. A concept I would never have dreamed in my worst nightmares, now looms as a disturbingly real possibility.

Let me preface my thoughts by saying that I am not ready to charge that POTUS has a heart as black as Adolph Hitler. As a nation we can not fully know his heart until we see what he does with the power he has been accumulating. We know what Hitler did with the power he gathered during the 1920s and 30s. For Germany it was truly the frog-in-the-pot syndrome. Hitler realized the value of gradual positioning and preparation, from the 1922 establishment of the innocuous sounding “Hitler Jugend” (Hitler Youth) Hitler Youthand moving relentlessly toward the grand finale of WWII and the Holocaust. He left his country in ruins, both literally and figuratively. And the “frogs” who had sat trustingly in his “pot” were thoroughly boiled and left in spiritual tatters. Generations of Germans have paid and still pay the terrible price for the millions of dead and generations of misery their country wrought upon the world.

However, it’s worth noting that President Obama doesn’t seem to have the patience for gradualism. In fact, his speed at gathering powers makes Hitler look like cold molasses by comparison. He is quickly arming himself with the capability to place his boot on America’s neck without further warning, thus making opposition to his regime impractical. Will he use it? We know that President Obama is not reluctant to use and abuse the power already entrusted to him, our Constitution notwithstanding. He seems to enjoy flexing his new POTUS muscles. Ask Chrysler stockholders, creditors, or advertising vendors.

Consider the following developments during Obama’s short tenure as POTUS:

  • Establishment of what will likely come to be colloquially known as the “Obama Youth/ Brown-shirt Corps” through The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act which became law April 21, 2009. During his campaign Obama said: “We can not continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we have set. (applause) We’ve gotta have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded…(applause) Watch the video and listen to him here:


  • The law authorizes a “paid volunteer” (isn’t that an oxymoron?) force of 250,000 which Obama clearly intends to use for “national security” here in the homeland.

  • Obama’s budget quadruples funding for Tax law enforcement over the next five years, again for policing US citizens.
  • A Domestic security force of 20,000 U.S. troops is being established within the United States in preparation for civil unrest, among other things. Read about it in the Dec 1, 2008 Washington Post article
  • Subsequently, evidence has emerged that the intention may well be to increase this Domestic Security Force to 80,000. The FBI’s National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC), published an unclassified Protective Intelligence Communication Report in March 2009 concerning the “crescendo” of public concern about Obama’s presidential eligibility. The report warns: “if…Mr. Obama fights revealing his documentation, there is growing concern of civil unrest, or worse, being unleashed in the streets of our nation. The economic crisis coupled with this type of a constitutional crisis could prove to be a flashpoint that would test conventional law enforcement and elements of homeland security.”
  • A March article in The Army Times cites recommendations by the Army’s Strategic Studies Institute, that a “Consequence Management Response Force (CCMRF),” (currently the role of the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team) might eventually comprise upwards of 80,000 troops. This “Force” is being trained and readied to deal with what could be widespread civil disorder resulting from an “unforeseen economic collapse” or “loss of a functional political and legal order.”
  • Moved to establish control of vital US internal communications

    • The FCC already has power over the jamming of cell phone signals nationwide
  • President Obama has cowed American industry into quick submission and directly controls several key industries. US Auto industry has now decended to the level of the old Soviet Union. It is essentially controlled by the “government” (read: Obama) and the workers (read UAW). When was the last time you saw a sleek looking Russian made vehicle cruising the strip? I thought so!
  • The labor unions are eating out of the President’s hand.
  • His Messianic following continues to spread at home and throughout the third world.


  • Could a police state happen here in the United States of America or is this simply paranoia? You tell me.

    There is trouble afoot in Obamaland. Certain right-wing extremists are taking exception to Obama’s orchestrated revelation of sensitive information from this nation’s “secret” spy agencies. Obama, obviously relishing the opportunity to repent on behalf of “W”, subscribes to the belief that confession is “good for the soul” . . . that we’ll all be “better off” for his current orgy of gut-spilling. Perhaps even safer. Certainly more socially acceptable to the Europeans, those impeccably credentialed bastions of civility and fair play (setting aside, of course, vague memories of the Bastille, the Tower of London, and a few other anomalies.)

    As previously mentioned, there are some cretins among us who feel that perhaps secret spy agencies might qualify for an exemption from the “Obama Transparency Rule”. After all, there have been past exceptions (quite a few, actually). The most notable of such exceptions that comes to mind is the “don’t ask, don’t tell” motif with which Obama has decorated the circumstances and place of his birth. And if total opacity is judged to be the proper level of “transparency” for such mundane matters as one’s legal qualification to assume the office of the most powerful leader on earth, perhaps the activities of secret spy agencies should also remain “opaque”.

    The inference that we as a people are somehow or other miraculously “safer” due to Obama’s regurgitation of government secrets is an insult to the intelligence of all but the most liberal among us (… one can’t insult what’s just not there!)

    A skittish, demoralized CIA is the answer to every Jihadist’s prayer. Apparently, Obama really is a messiah . . . to some.
