“The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government.” –Thomas Jefferson
July 16, 2009 – Now that Barack Hussein Obama has undermined free enterprise by nationalizing major financial and manufacturing sectors of our economy, he has set his sights on the health care sector, which comprises almost 18 percent of the U.S. economy.
This shouldn’t surprise us. After all, he did promise a “fundamental transformation of the United States of America,” and his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, did cite the current economic crisis as the means for doing so. “Rule 1: Never allow a crisis to go to waste,” Emanuel said. “They are opportunities to do big things.”
Of course, there is NO constitutional authority or precedent for this massive government intrusion into the private sector. But then, when do Leftists look to any authority higher than themselves?
July 12, 2009 – If you can have a pride of lions and a gaggle of geese, then I suggest that the forthcoming July 17-20 meeting of the National Governors Association can be described as a “crisis” of Governors.
This once-esteemed office, a platform from which some launched campaigns to become President, has become a sinkhole of sexual misconduct and corruption; witness New York’s unlamented Eliot Spitzer, New Jersey’s James McGreevey, and now South Carolina’s pathetic, moon-struck Mark Sanford and Illinois’ Rod Blogovitch whose alleged sins involved money.
Because states are sovereign republics and because being governor is primarily a “local” responsibility, the job requires significant administrative and political skills to ensure the state meets those obligations closest to voters. Infrastructure must be maintained. Issues of public safety, health, and education are paramount concerns.
July 11, 2009 – All around us are people who look like people, but they aren’t really people. It is written that in the later days that a strong delusion would fall upon the people and even the elect would be deceived. “Oh, but I have the light of truth, I can’t be deceived you say.” To you friend remember that those who are deceived don’t know they are deceived, else they wouldn’t be deceived. - (a Voice in the Wilderness)
There is a strong delusion which has fallen upon the land of America. One that crept in so slowly and made promises to us way out of proportion to reality that virtually everyone in the land bought into its lie. This deception was so cunning in its implementation that no one would ever see that by accepting the offering of the delusion that a trade would have to be made. That trade, take the delusion in exchange for your soul, … for your humanity. Sadly many, if not most of us have bought into the lie and traded our humanity for the delusion.
July 11, 2009 – Unless one became blind and deaf before Obama’s coronation, it has become almost impossible to avoid the increasingly realistic judgment that he has been prepared and designed to affect (make that force) a USA totalitarian police state and to steal US Citizens’ money in order to then use it to suppress them. Relishing his duty, Obama preens and smiles to his now State-run press cameras as he delivers the horrific news of his planned and already in-process implementation of tyranny. In other words, the dictator is now using our resources to destroy us a tactic that has been used by virtually every tyrant in history.
After already commandeering over a Trillion dollars from the American people and telling us it was the greedy banks and auto companies that caused and is causing our financial woes (irrespective of the fact that they were brought on primarily by the Democrat slush funds Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and their patron-leftist Democrats Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd and Barack Obama) now Dictator Obama and his Democrat minions are telling us that healthcare is the culprit!
July 11, 2009 – Do you truly believe the people running Government can do what they want once elected? The way their treachery is feared and talked about suggests such insanity. They pass a law, a statute or a presidential edict and it’s Oh my! Look what they just did! What are we to do? Where are we going to get the money for that? Then we all just grin and bear it, after all they are our elected leaders. No matter who’s doing the reporting, credence is given to this lie.
Do we elect them to follow party platforms or are they sworn to follow the Constitutional Contract? The truth is that they have no power to vote away anyone’s liberty or freedom. Those things are not in the scope of their contract.
July 11, 2009 – As US combat troops redeployed to the outskirts of Iraqi cities on June 30, well-staged celebrations commenced. The pro-US Iraqi government declared “independence day” as police vehicles roamed the streets of war-weary Iraq in an unpersuasive show of national rejoicing. US mainstream media joined the chorus, as if commemorating the end of an era.
Meanwhile, top US administration and army officials cautioned Iraqis of their own recklessness. “Biden Warns Iraq About Reverting to Sectarian Violence,” read a New York Times headline. “What will it take to make a good exit from Iraq?” inquired a Kansas City Star analysis.
July 10, 2009 – And the hoodwinking continues. First, we read of MORE massive Bone-US payouts to executives at AIG – now we get additionally shafted by the money-changers at the Socialist Security Administration.
Monday, July 13th, in the year of our Lord 2009, is the188th birthday of American legend and Southern Hero – Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest.
President Obama continued a century-old tradition, on Memorial Day, by honoring American Servicemen and women buried at Arlington National Cemetery and sending a wreathe to the Confederate and Black Union soldier’s section.
Some criticized Obama for remembering the Confederate soldiers buried at section 16 but, like his predecessors, the president did the historically-correct and Patriotic thing in remembering ‘All’ American Veterans.
Almost a century earlier, on June 4, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson spoke at Arlington National Cemetery on occasion of the unveiling of a new Confederate Monument by the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
June 9, 2009 – The glue that binds us all together is the bond forged in families – husband, wife and children. It is a powerful bond, held together by love, mutual respect and a large dose of pre-programmed genetics. The saying that “blood is thicker than water” gets it roots from the bond of family. Families are the natural order of life on this planet, at least for most mammals, but it is especially true for the human mammal. The character of family for we humans is several orders of magnitude above our other earthly creatures and considerably more complex. Being complex, it leads to more complex problems that require resolution.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." ~ Ronald Reagan
