The Emperor is on the campaign trail, well sort of as he has been asked to stay clear of those wishing to actually win their seats. Anyway, he’s attempting to convince the American people to keep Democrats in power. His reasoning? Giving the GOP power will return the country back to the policies of George W. Bush. But is this accurate? No. This reasoning is so inaccurate let me count the ways….

First, Obama is President (like it or not) and he is who sets policy not Congress.

Second, George W. Bush couldn’t win in this political environment. Bush is not seen by Conservatives and Libertarians as someone who reflects the common desires of a smaller, less intrusive government. It was the spending of the 109th Congress under the direction of then policy maker George W. Bush which led to the disaster of the 2006 midterms and a repeat of that disaster in 2008 and the election of Obamaramadingdong. Remember the reasoning why every gullible voter was willing to vote for a vague empty suit. The promise of changing the status quo was too much to resist especially when that promise of change is masked by a cloud of ambiguity.

The election of Barack Hussein Obama was a precursor to a statement made by Nancy Pelosi in the days leading up to the approval of the Death Care bill. Remember when she said, “we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it”? Yeah that statement. Well in relation to the 2008 Presidential election Obama failed to identify what he wanted to change and what he wanted to change it into. He also failed to define in whom or what we should have hope. It was a calculated effort to keep the American voter away from details because if they knew the agenda prior to his election, he would never have gotten elected.

With Death Care the bill got passed so we could find out what was in it and the people do not approve. Likewise, we now know Obama’s change agenda and it too is not approved of.

Progressivism took a 100 year approach to getting their political will which culminated with the election of Obama. His aggressive agenda has alienated the American people who were looking for fiscal responsibility and freedom. Its far reaching intrusion into the lives of the American people are responsible for the creation of the TEA Party.

Speaking of the TEA Party, isn’t it ironic that the largest threat to the Progressive agenda was born out of said agenda? After-all, what exactly IS the TEA Party? Broadly, it is a rejection of Obama Progressivism and its policies.

Congress is polling at 11% which translates into only 11% of the American people believe that the agenda being forwarded by the Congress is in their best interests. The GOP has been out of power for nearly 4 years. The agenda from January 2007 to present has been a Democrat agenda [Read also: that includes the last 2 years of the Bush Administration] not the agenda of the Republican Party.

The GOP has been attempting to reassure the American people and in particular the Conservative “base” of the Party that they have learned their lesson. That remains to be seen. However, compared to the spendaholic ways of the 110th & 111th Congresses, the spending spree of the 109th seems like a spending binge. Sort of like a weekend spending bender that ends on Sunday morning with a hangover that produces promises of reform whereas the spending ways of the current Congress is better explained as being in a state of perpetual spending intoxication. They avoid the impact of the morning after by staying drunk from the night before. No sobering realization of self destruction, no promises of reform. While the GOP has been forced by the American people into a figurative SA (spending anonymous) 12-step program, the Progressive Democrats have no intention of giving up their drug of choice.

As the Emperor is out on the “campaign trail” remember that he only wants you to keep his party in power so they can spend more, tax more, and pass more legislation which erodes even more of your individual liberties. Also remember, he understands that come January 2011, his party’s majority is gone. He is also well aware of the fact that his Presidency is going to be restricted to 1 term. That is the price he was willing to pay for progressing the Progressive agenda.

This point is driven home by a post on the Democrat friendly Politico…

Q: Will Barack Obama be a one-term president?

A: Yes, he might last that long.

Honest to goodness, the man just does not get it. He might be forced to pull a Palin and resign before his first term is over. He could go off and write his memoirs and build his presidential library. (Both would be half-size, of course.)

The visions of the Fabian Socialists who invaded American academia in the early 20th century have their chance. It is Barack Hussein Obama. If he can’t close the deal before he’s tossed out of office and designated along with Jimmy Carter in the pit known as “the worst US Presidents in US history”, he will have certainly gotten them closer than ever to achieving their ultimate goal in the US, turning it into a full-blown socialist nightmare.

Failing to understand who Obama was in 2008 has resulted in what is occurring now. He can blame Bush all he wants but the truth of the matter is the American people understand that this economy is owned by Barack Hussein Obama and the Progressive leadership of the 111th Congress. No matter how much he tries to re-paint and revise that simple and undeniable truth into “this is all Bush’s fault”, this is his mess and it is getting worse not better due to his neo-socialist/neo-marxist ways.

It is now 2 years later and some of the damage can be controlled if only Congress were controlled by the opposition Party. Perhaps aggressive action can be made by a Republican Congress to curtail some of the more harmful items on the Obama agenda through its power of the purse. But in truth, the Obama years will take at least 18 more years to reverse. Giving Obama and Democrats another 2 years to do more damage double that time frame.

Consequently, if you cast a vote for a Democrat for any office this fall, it will translate into your personal approval of what Obama is doing to this nation. If you cast a vote for anyone, and I mean anyone including Dog Catcher, you are endorsing the complete and utter destruction of the greatest nation this planet has ever experienced. If you think that statement is far fetched, remember what Obama said about the election so Scott Brown. He made the case that it was the same angst with the status quo that swept himself into office which then elected Brown to a traditionally held Democrat seat.

In other words, a Democrat being elected Dog Catcher of your little hamlet will somehow be made to reflect the American people’s endorsement of Democrat policy. So short-circuit that by making sure every Democrat is relegated to political irrelevancy.

Will Annual ‘Teacher Bailout’ Be The Next Federal Entitlement?

August 10, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Democrat Corruption, Democrat Incompetence, Elections, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Pelosi - The Wicked Witch of the West, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, The Nanny State, The REAL Culture of Corruption, The Wicked Witch of the West, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

According to a well-known Chinese proverb, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” The Federal government has so usurped the sovereignty of the various states that they have become dependent upon mother government for their very existence. This is the reason why the United States House of Representatives found itself in session today. That and to give Charlie Rangel an opportunity to whine on the House floor about his persecution at the hands of the Ethics Committee.

The White House and Congressional Democrats were all in a tither about getting a $26 Billion state aid packaged passed that Nancy Pelosi felt compelled to call the House back into session during the August recess. The emergency? To get the legislation passed before the school year begins. Why? So those reliable Democrat votes (teachers) don’t lose their jobs.

Is this going to be an annual event? I mean, is this setting the standard for years to come? Will the House and Senate be recalled from their “much needed” summer recess in order to pass “emergency” legislation so that teachers don’t lose their jobs every August from now until the fall of the Republic? 47 of the 50 states are running budget deficits thanks to mismanagement at the state level and federal intrusion. Unfunded mandates from the federal government and federal aid has made the states dependent upon the feds for funding of all aspects of governance. This is NOT how this nation is supposed to work. If anything, it should be reversed. At least that was the intention of the founders.

Education has become the latest dependency class. Soon to follow will be police and fire departments. Although, the aid package passed this afternoon by the House is a general aid package for states that includes funding for police and fire.

Glenn Beck warned several weeks ago that soon we will have a national police force. He went on to say that it won’t be named as such but follow the money trail.

If the Cleveland Police Department accepts federal funding you should fell safe to bet the farm that the feds will have a dominant say in how the CPD conducts its business. The same can be said of the fire departments AND – Teachers.

Conservative pundits – myself included – understand that this is nothing more than another veiled payoff to a major labor union. Employed teachers equal votes for the Democrat majority. Verbose urging from the Emperor increases his popularity among his base, but only his base.

What isn’t widely known about this bill is that it steals money from another federal program in order for it to be paid for. Beginning in 2014, the federal food stamp program will have a reduction in its planned annual increase in order to keep under-performing and junior teachers in their positions for the 2010-2011 school year. When 2014 rolls around, Progressives around the country will be screaming for additional funding for the food stamp program because this bill gutted the planning increase in funding.

What I find interesting is the choice of which federal spending program to raid in order to keep these under-performing and junior liberal teachers working. The food stamp program. A recent report showed that a record number of Americans are receiving benefits from that very program. Approximately 40.5 million to be exact.

What also hasn’t been discussed in public is the fact that funding for these teachers is already in place. Nearly half of the American Robbery and Redistribution Act funds have yet to be spent. It included funding for teachers, police, and fire but yet the Congress of the United States (House and Senate) with urging from the President, thought that new legislation with an additional funding source needed to be passed now – urgently – before the beginning of the school year so that more liberals turn out to the polls on November 2nd to vote for Democrats. There is no other explanation.

Why use existing funding when they can seem to be taking action by passing new legislation. As I said in another post, it’s a shell game.

I predict that next year there will be a push from the White House to bailout the states again. The cries will be that our school children need these teachers in class when in reality Obama needs their votes.

Dems Poised to Feel Wrath of Voters in ’10 Just As GOP Did in ’06 & ’08

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana
.

Democrats haven’t learned anything from the failures of the GOP in 2006 and 2008. They have consistently gotten it wrong over the last two election cycles. Democrats falsely believed that the rejection of GOP candidates in the past two election cycles were a rejection of policy. They ran on the mantra of the “Culture of Corruption” and won an unstoppable majority.

Was there corruption in the GOP? Yes there was. Many were beginning to get corrupted by the power that Washington D.C. infects. Many were using their offices to gain personally and others were using legislation to insure re-election. The Pork being enjoyed by many Republican members of Congress in the latter years of the Bush Administration led to the downfall of the GOP.

In 2006 Conservative voters had no one to vote for so they stayed home. In the 2008 Presidential race, the choice was between a Progressive Democrat and a Progressive Republican – Socialist or Socialist Lite. Identity politics played a larger roll than ever before in American politics. The euphoria created by the possibility of electing a minority candidate to the Presidency won over voters and rationale lost.

The GOP’s candidate was selected by the progressive main stream media because they all knew that if given the choice between a Democrat and a Liberal Republican, Conservative voters would bail on the Republican as they did in 2006.

Voter intimidation and fraud did play a roll in the 2008 races as well. But yet, the Obama Infestation doesn’t have any interest in making sure those crimes are never again repeated. After-all, they benefited from those crimes.

Since taking office, Obama and Nancy Pelosi have led their party to the far left. The sheer growth of the federal government and the near Imperial powers now granted to the President by this Congress must have the founding fathers rolling in their graves. The result of all this growth in government is record high deficits which are 4 times the size of those that led to the downfall of the GOP in 2006.

The $427 Billion deficit racked up by the Bush Administration in 2005 pales in comparison to $1.42 Trillion 2009 short-fall and seem like nothing in comparison to the projected 2010 deficit of $1.75 Trillion. To put the Bush deficits into context, during his 8 years in office, Bush added $4.9 Trillion to the national debt. If you just take the past two years in to account, Obama has already added $3.17 Trillion. If left unchecked with a hypothetical returning Democrat majority for the next 2 years, Obama’s contribution to the national debt over 4 years in office would be an estimated $6.34 Trillion and likely more.

Debt and corruption were the GOP’s undoing in 2006 and 2008. Now, the Democrats are facing 4 times the debt and double the corruption. The current Treasury Secretary is a known tax cheat. The former Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee is as well as evidenced by his 13 ethics violations and pending criminal indictment (because we all know there is an indictment in the works). Another Democrat member of Congress faces an ethics battle. Pelosi has failed to “drain the swamp” and seems to have encouraged her members to seek out ways to exploit the earmark process.

Nancy Pelosi’s most ethical and most transparent Congress in history is about to fall flat under the weight of its ethics violations and shady back-room deals. Remember what she said about the Death Care bill?

“We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it.”

How about that transparency Nancy?

I won’t hold my breath waiting for her to answer.

Now Pelosi has another shell game in the works. As the school year is about to begin and the financially strapped states have less money to dole out for education, SanFran Nan and her band of miscreants are calling the House back into session in the middle of the August recess in order to pass “emergency” legislation totaling an additional $26 Billion in spending for teachers. Ask the question “why?” since nearly half of the American Robbery and Redistribution Act money is still unspent. After-all, wasn’t that supposed to fund police, firemen, and – umm, who else… that’s right – TEACHERS so they wouldn’t lose their jobs?

People this is nothing more than as cheap game of 3-card Monty. Chase the red queen but there is no queen on the table. It’s a ploy for votes and nothing more. The funds are already allocated to save teachers’ jobs if the Infestation wished to use it; but they don’t. They’d rather Pelosi do a little grand standing in order to buy some more votes and in the process increase the debt a little bit more in order to justify more tax increases in the future. You see if they use already appropriated funding to “save teaching jobs” it doesn’t make headlines. No headlines, no votes.

Before you go to vote on November 2nd remember a couple of very important items.

Obama promised that if the “stimulus” (aka the American Robbery and Redistribution Act) were passed unemployment wouldn’t go any higher than 8%. How’s that 9.5% unemployment feeling America? Or how about the estimated 17% – 24% underemployment for that matter?
Pelosi promised to drain the swamp and yet one Congressman has been sent to prison for taking bribes, and two more are under Ethics Committee investigations and expected to be expelled.
Democrats rode a wave of discontent over Republican deficits in 2006 and 2008 but the current budget deficit is 4 times higher.

And finally I want you to ask yourself a question…

Is your family better off today than you were in 2006?

OH.. before I go. I have a little misconception to clear up.

That surplus that all you Clintonian drones like to point to that Bush destroyed with his deficit spending… That was the brain child of a Republican. Rep. John Kasich of Ohio wrote the budget that created that surplus. Kasich is currently running for Governor of Ohio. And much to the dismay of Obama and Uncle Ted (Strickland), he’s leading in that race. And for the record… Uncle Ted rode that anti-GOP wave in 2006. Remember the quote at the top Uncle Ted.

Progressivism’s Failures Mean Long-Term Consequences for the USA

July 26, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Communism, Democrat Corruption, Democrat Incompetence, News, Opinion, Presidential Politics, Taxes, The Economy, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

We tried to warn you. Bloggers like myself, talk radio (Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Medved, Laura Ingraham, and others), and Conservative politicians all tried to warn the American voters not to put Barry O in charge of this country. We told you that he was the most liberal member of the Senate, yet you voted for him. We told you about his associations with Rev. Wright, but you still pulled the lever, marked the circle, or punched the card for Barry and Joey. We told you what their agenda was even though they avoided discussing their agenda, and you still cast that vote. Do you want it back?

After his election, many on my side of the fence looked at it through rose colored glasses. Perhaps an Obama Presidency would be the final nail in the coffin of Progressivism. This glass-half-full mentality has gotten us into trouble before. Need I remind you of Jimmy Carter? Yet this country then elected Bill Clinton to two terms and then went one step further down the neo-Socialist Progressive path and elected Barack Obama. I am convinced that the American voter doesn’t have the ability to think beyond the moment to see past the glitz and glitter of the made-up pig known as the Progressive Democrat.

Barack Obama got elected by being vague and spewing platitudes. The words “hope” and “change” were heard so much that you should have begun to question their relevance. But you didn’t. That same group who were warning you not to vote for this snake oil salesman tried to question his use of these words. “Hope” in what? “Change” what from what and to what? But neither you nor the charlatan you eventually voted for cared to answer the question. But now we know.

He wants to “change” a once thriving American economy into an Orwellian nightmare. He’s a student the Cloward-Piven strategy for effecting “change”. You must destroy the economic system of the United States in order to create an emergency by which you make the “change”. You do this by overwhelming the system and allowing it to collapse. Once it is in a free fall, you sell yourself as the only “hope” of restoring stability. The answer? Socialism. Complete with its Big Brother paranoia, class envy, and massive poverty and despair. You create a religion of government and remove the need or legality of private worship of any other god. – Enter the Greek Columns and speeches about making the oceans recede.

Problem with Progressivism and the utilization of a Cloward-Piven strategy is there can be no half measures. Cloward-Piven requires a sharp increase in the number of people in the dependency class, swamping the system in order to facilitate its collapse.

The first step for Obama was the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (aka: Porkulus) -which I affectionately call the American Robbery and Redistribution Act because that would actually be truth in advertising.

The Recovery Act put forward a fraud of epic proportions. It claimed to be a jobs creating bill which would repair America’s crumbling infrastructure by “saving” or “creating” much needed jobs during the economic downturn. Problem, it hasn’t “saved” or “created” anything. It has in fact, put several companies out of business or influenced them to move from their established locations to other cities or states. Case in point, NCR relocated from Dayton, Ohio to South Carolina because of incentives embedded in the Porkulus. How on earth can anyone say with a straight face that prompting NCR to relocated “saved” or “created” anything but more poverty in Dayton, OH? - A city which Obama carried heavily in 2008 incidentally.

Aside from being fraudulent on its face, the Recovery Act also included massive payoffs to Democrat supporters in Organized Labor as did the Chrysler and GM bailouts, the health care legislation, and Cap and Trade (which is still stalled in the Senate). Andy Stern former President of the Service Employees International Union still holds the record for being the most frequent visitor to the Obama White House visiting the executive mansion more times than any other non-Administration official. Why?

It is my belief that after the collapse, the only way you will be able to find meaningful employment will be to join one of Obama’s favorite unions. Being a union worker will make you a Party worker. Party workers keep the Party in power especially when only Party workers are earning anything to contribute to the Party.

Democrats like to separate the American people into classes. They do this so that they can foster class envy which empowers them. If they can pit those who are impoverished against those who have wealth, they benefit by playing to the masses whom they’ve co-opted. Obama did this during his campaign by saying that if you earn less than $250k or less than $200k or – I don’t know, he kept changing the number – that “your taxes won’t go up one single dime.” Anyone still believe that fable?

House and Senate Democrats – you know, the ruling Party – are poised to allow the Bush era tax cuts to expire on December 31, 2010. This my friends includes the lowered 10% bracket (it goes away entirely), taxes on the middle class, and the rich will get soaked. You know those evil rich people. They don’t deserve to have that much money. Never mind that it is the rich who create jobs and invest in our economy. Certainly those who are struggling to feed their families do not have enough disposable income to invest in business. And neither will the so-called rich once Obama and his ilk get done with them.

Did you know that if you died in 2009, your estate tax bill was 45% of your estate? Under the Bush Tax Cuts, if you die in 2010 your estate tax bill is 0%. Meaning, your heirs get to enjoy the fruits of your labor and savings not the federal government. However, if you were to die in 2011 and the Bush Tax Cuts are allowed to expire, your tax bill will be 55% of your estate.

Did you know that if you are a working poor person in the United States today, your federal tax liability is 10% of your adjusted gross income? But on January 1, 2011 if the Bush Tax Cuts expire your tax liability goes up by half and your new liability is 15% of that same amount. You didn’t get a raise, but the government is going to take more of your hard earned money. How difficult is it to put bread on the table now? Imagine how much more difficult that will be when you are bringing less home.

I’ve only briefly touched on what I see as failures of Progressivism there is much much more I could mention but this post would be a longer read than Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary. My point is, Progressivism has been a failure since its conception. Americans in the 1920s began to realize this truth so Progressives had to relabel themselves so they became liberals. Now that liberal has become a bad word in American politics, they’ve reinvented themselves again (on the surface) by relabeling again to Progressives. Is anyone actually falling for their shell game anymore? Like Obama’s inability to settle on a defining income level to label someone “rich” Progressives consistently have a need to reinvent themselves and their policies. We see this with their ever evolving think tanks and activist organizations. ACORN has “gone out of business” but another community activist group spawned in its place, often times in the same office fronts, doing the same exact work. It is nothing less than deception.

We told you that candidate Obama was an empty suit. He needed to be. Because if you had known what he is and what he stood for then, he would have been unelectable. We can’t throw him out quite yet but we can toss his political allies.

No Democrat running for re-election this year, at any level of government, deserves to be returned to office. They ARE the problem. And it is a problem that we will be dealing with for a very long time.

UK Announces Plans To Decentralize Health Care System

July 24, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Death Care, Democrat Incompetence, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, Stupidity, The Economy, The Nanny State, The Wicked Witch of the West, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

Is The Emperor Listening?

Now that The Emperor has used a recess appointment to get his Health Care Czar, you know – the one that likes the UK’s health system, I wonder what is going through his mind as he reads that the UK is making plans to decentralize their system. According to several sources, the UK’s new Coalition government is in the process of making plans which they say will save an estimated $30 Billion a year in “efficiency savings” and reduce administrative costs by 45% by 2014. How do they plan on doing this? Decentralizing the National Health Care System and putting local General Practitioners in charge.

From the New York Times…

Practical details of the plan are still sketchy. But its aim is clear: to shift control of England’s $160 billion annual health budget from a centralized bureaucracy to doctors at the local level. Under the plan, $100 billion to $125 billion a year would be meted out to general practitioners, who would use the money to buy services from hospitals and other health care providers.

The plan would also shrink the bureaucratic apparatus, in keeping with the government’s goal to effect $30 billion in “efficiency savings” in the health budget by 2014 and to reduce administrative costs by 45 percent. Tens of thousands of jobs would be lost because layers of bureaucracy would be abolished.

Yet another example of Europe moving to the right as Obama forces America to the left.

Leftist policies Do Not Work but the Moron in Chief is so stuck in a 1960′s neo-Socialist mentality that he is incapable of making the necessary adjustments as Europe seems to be willing to make. The Euro-Socialism that American leftists wish to emulate is in decline at a time when they are finally in a position to implement the failed policies which are drawing out the global economic crisis.

The window is shifting America and we are all about to get caught as the sash comes crashing down. The way it generally works is the left demands outrageous leaps to the left which can’t get passed because the right blocks them. So they compromise and take a slight movement to the left instead. But since the beginning to this Infestation, aided by the leftist majorities in both houses of Congress, those giant leaps have been made in spite of the will of the American people. Poll after poll shows the public’s resistance to the measures put forward by this President and this Congress but they get their entire wish list anyway.

They have abandoned their gentle nudging in favor of massive shoving and so far it’s worked because nothing could be done to stop them. However, November 4th is quickly approaching and many Democrats are going to be facing forced retirement because of the neo-Socialists’ [read also: Barry Obama, SanFran Nan, Dingy Harry et. al.] aggressive agenda. The major worry for Conservative AND Independent America is what the lame-duck Congress will attempt.

On their agenda in the event of a loss of their majority is…

Full implementation of Cap and Tax
Card Check
Tax Increases under the guise of balancing a budget that has yet to be passed and couldn’t be balanced if they did pass one. And no, you won’t be exempted because you earn less than $250k a year. They want to soak everybody.

My question is now and will also be in November and December, are the Republicans willing to put up enough of an opposition to stop it. It will take Every Single Republican to reject this. In the House, it will take some Democrats who are unwilling to play the role of a petulant child.

The American people have been speaking LOUDLY and the Democrat Congress has had their hearing aids turned off. They erroneously stand by the notion that what they have done was what the people wanted. If there were ever a reason to never put Democrats in a position of power – this President and this Congress is that reason.

So to answer my initial question…

NO, he isn’t listening. He’s the Obamassiah. He knows all and sees all. His is the only vision for the future. Too bad it leads to conditions similar to those experienced by Detective Thorn in ‘Soylent Green‘ or Winston Smith in ‘1984‘.

As I keep saying…

You cannot legislate Universal Prosperity; but you can legislate Universal Poverty.
You cannot legislate Universal Health; but you can legislate Universal Sickness.
You cannot legislate Universal Happiness; but you can legislate Universal Despair.

It is my belief that the left knows and understands these three simple truths and that is why they deliberately leading this nation into a condition of Universal Poverty, Sickness, and Despair.

Obama, House and Senate Dems, and November 2nd

July 17, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Communism, Democrat Corruption, Elections, Libtards on Parade, Lunatic Lefties, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Presidential Politics, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

Truth be told, it isn’t inconceivable that Republicans could pick up both the House and the Senate this November. If there is any justice in the world, they will. However, before we begin to prognosticate about how many seats in each house the GOP might pick up, let’s make sure we stay grounded.

“Never under-estimate the stupidity of people. Especially on election day.” – Kender MacGowan

As my best bud Kender says, we cannot underestimate the power the left has over voters. We cannot count on people’s unhappiness today to translate into opposition votes on election day. Especially, if Republicans screw up. In my poking around the net – something that I’ve stayed away from for far too long – I found an article written by Dr. Charles Krauthammer in which he warns Republicans not to underestimate Obama.

In his article he alludes to the idea that Obama’s agenda is a two-step plan to undo “Reaganism” replacing it with “Obamaism”.

Act One is over. The stimulus, Obamacare, financial reform have exhausted his first-term mandate. It will bear no more heavy lifting. And the Democrats will pay the price for ideological overreaching by losing one or both houses, whether de facto or de jure. The rest of the first term will be spent consolidating these gains (writing the regulations, for example) and preparing for Act Two.

The next burst of ideological energy — massive regulation of the energy economy, federalizing higher education and “comprehensive” immigration reform (i.e., amnesty) — will require a second mandate, meaning re-election in 2012.

What Dr. Krauthammer is saying makes sense when you factor in how Obama’s key legislation has been crafted. ObamaCare doesn’t take full effect until 2014. Why?

We may have underestimated this political novice. America has short-term memory loss when it comes to our Presidential election cycles. How else can you explain how Clinton served two terms? All the harmful legislation championed by Obama in the past 18 months has time to be forgotten over the next 2 1/2 years. If he sails into a second term and he can stymie a new Republican majority (worst case for him) enough to render it impotent like Bush did with the first two years of the Democrat majority, then it is possible to complete his final death plan for America.

Beginning the day after the 2012 election, if granted his wish Obama will begin his slam-dunk of capitalism followed by the end of Democracy as we know it. He is not only determined to go down in history as the first black President of the United States, I truly believe he would prefer to go down as the last democratically elected President. My evidence? Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.

Alinsky states in his book that the end game is a Dictator led Communist society. As a student and teacher of Alinsky’s rules, Barry Obama knows this is the goal and sees himself as the completion of Alinsky’s dream.

I honestly believe everything has gone according to plan. What he hasn’t counted on to this point is the level of opposition within the electorate. This level of opposition MUST be maintained. Republicans – even if they prevail in large numbers this November – MUST, MUST, MUST keep Obama’s political short-comings in the minds of the electorate all the way up to the day they cast a vote for the next President. And I mean NEXT President because this guy can’t live in that house past 12 noon, January 20, 2013. NOT ONE MORE DAY.

Much to the dismay of House and Senate Dems, they did not know that many of them were expected to be handed their pink slips come November 2, 2010. People like Max Baucas and Lincoln Chafee were expected to be replaced by a Republican all along. They just didn’t know it.

What wasn’t planned was people like Barbara Boxer, Russ Feingold, and Harry Reid being in danger of losing their previously “secure” seats. But those seats ARE in danger. Reid’s ability to keep that seat is further in doubt by the hour but he keeps on championing that hard-left agenda.

There is an additional danger when the left loses Congress in November. in the month and a half left in the current Congress, the Democrats who lose in November will have no incentive to oppose Obama’s “lame duck strategy”. Pass all the most harmful legislation before going home on their full pensions. Cap and Tax, Amnesty, Card Check, and more kickback pork to labor unions.

Bottom line…

If Obama sees his chances of obtaining that second term slimmer in November than he does today, he’ll go for the prize before the current Congress exits. And barring a 2/3rds majority in both Houses, there isn’t thing 1 Republicans can do about it without shutting down the government – WHICH – may become necessary to break the President. But at what cost politically?

Finally, some predictions…

Robert Gibbs, David Axelrod, Rham Emanuel, and possibly Robert Gates will be gone before the end of the year. Gibbs probably before the midterms.
Hillary Clinton dumps her job by the end of 2011 and challenges Obama for the Democrat Nomination for President in 2012. If she does, she wins it. Why end of 2011? She’ll wait to see how badly Obama’s popularity tanks (and it will) due to the “lame duck strategy” and poise to strike at that vulnerability. At least if she’s smart – and we all know she is.
Republicans take a clear majority in the House in November. In the Senate Republicans secure between 49 and 52 seats. They’ll either fall short of a majority by 1 seat or they’ll take a majority by no more than 2.
If the economy continues to stagnate, Tim Geithner will be out in 2011. Eric Holder is already under a heat lamp due to his failure to prosecute crimes committed by minorities. I predict he’s out by tax day 2011. These resignations will be the result of House and Senate (should Republicans gain a majority) investigations of both.
Kagen gets confirmed by a slim majority but her nomination will be subjected to a “filibuster” (blocked cloture vote).
Should the GOP gain a slim majority in the Senate, Senate investigations into all of Obama’s Czars will begin in 2011 as they are operating as a shadow government as an intentional effort to circumvent the advice and consent of the US Senate. Result will be legislation banning such “special advisers” paid using taxpayer funding.

Let’s see how close I am. Shall we?

Obama’s Imperial Power Grab – The Internet Killswitch

June 27, 2010 Barack Hussein Obama, Barack Hussein Obama Lies, Communism, Democrat Incompetence, Liberal MSM Bias, Libtards on Parade, News, Obama Fascism, Opinion, Orwellian Solutions, Presidential Distortions, Presidential Politics, US Senate, United States Constitution, socialism Comments Off

I have taken some heat both on here and in my private communications from others who do not appreciate my references to Barrack Hussein Obama as “The Emperor”. Personally, it started out as a humorous mocking of our 44th President; however, as more and more of his agenda is brought to light, it is obvious that Imperial power is what he craves. What’s worse is the fact that many on the uber-left approve of this systematic deletion of American freedoms as they encourage BHO to “act like a dictator”.

The words of Ed Schultz shouldn’t come to any surprise to anyone who has kept an eye on the Obama Infestation since before they took power. His most trusted “advisor”, Valerie Jarrett laid it all out to Tom Brokaw before he assumed power on January 20, 2009 by saying that Obama was getting prepared to “rule on day 1.”.

Obama, like all other Progressives (see also neo-socialists) who have assumed the power of the American Presidency, is looking to expand executive power beyond what the founders intended. What gets me is when Conservatives are in power, the left always looks to curtail executive power. For instance, the Bush years.

Now that their man Hussein is in power, the executive power grab is on a feeding frenzy. What makes it worse is that Congress in voluntarily surrendering power to the Chief Executive. The Porkulus (see also the American Robbery and Redistribution Act of 2009), the Omnibus, Cash for Clunkers, GM Bailout, Chrysler Bailout, Death Care, and Cap and Tax were all forwarded by a very compliant Congress[1].

Question: Why would Congress be so willing to surrender so much power?

Answer: Because the neo-socialists controlling both Houses of Congress (see also Democrats) were banking on completion of the agenda before losing Congress to Republicans.

If they gave their man enough power to stave off a Republican Congress before they lost control, there would be little the Republicans can do to reverse what has been done. This is the only explanation for the cautious care taken to insure that all these key votes happened after the business day or on weekends. It was a planned effort to subvert the input of the American people. They understood going in that if the American people get engaged, we can defeat anything on their agenda. Their answer was to drop bills into the hopper at 2am and vote on them before you had a chance to know what was in the changes.

But now we have a subcommittee of the United States Senate looking to grant Obama emergency powers to shut down the internet under the auspices of protecting the nation’s computer systems in the event of a cyber attack. We’ve seen what happens when one of his generals criticizes him, what would happen to people critical of the President and our ability to voice our distrust of him once this crap becomes law?

People when are you going to wise up and understand that Progressivism isn’t anything close to what they want you to believe it is? Their name says it all. Progressive. What do they want to progress towards? The answer is Socialism. George Orwell wrote in ’1984′ that the true goal of socialism is to advance toward a dictatorship. Ironically, Orwell was a Socialist. As I close this installment, let me remind you what the 45 goals of the Communist Party in the United States are as they were written into the Congressional Record on January 10, 1963. They have not changed. What’s worse, they’ve been advanced. Ask yourself, by whom?

Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record
Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

Editor’s Note: - Prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall, this goal had been achieved. The fall of the Berlin wall combined with democratic reforms that followed in the former East Germany, Germany is now a unified and Democratic nation much to the dismay of Communists world wide.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus. - Attempted

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat]. - Attempted

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal. - Returned to Panamanian Control

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike. - Attempted

Achieved or Attemted

[Note: It was my intent to highlight only those aspects of these goals which have been achieved or attempted. Looking at the list, it seems that the goals are near completion.]

Anyone care to debate the Obama agenda now?

Shifting My Focus to a November Victory

April 12, 2010 Conservatism, Death Care, Elections, GOP/RNC, Liberal MSM Bias, MSM Ignorance, News, Opinion, Taxes, U.S. House, US Senate, socialism Comments Off

As I stated in the previous post, I’m so angry at what the non-representing Representatives (aka: Congresscritters) allowed to happen, that I can’t even address it rationally yet. I said yet. So I’ll move on to address how we proceed and that is simple. Throw out every single critter and so-called Senator (aka: Obama lap dog).

Q: How do we do that?

The answer to that question is simple. Conservatives need to take back the Republican Party. No more of these wishy-washy blue blood Progressive Republicans who look to Teddy Roosevelt as their idol. We need Ronald Reaganite Conservatives running in the races in November. We gave control to the blue-bloods before and that led to the over-spending Democratesque BS during the Bush years. This is an error that this country cannot permit to be repeated.

Some will say that the answer is an alternative. A “TEA Party” candidate. To which I say, that idea is a recipe for disaster and 2 more years of Democrat control on the Hill. Two more years for Obama to get his way and two more years for the liberals to ignore the electorate.

Nobody running under a “TEA Party” label is going to do any good. First off, they won’t get any committee assignments even if they do manage to get themselves elected. Secondly, there is no way to prove the Conservative credentials of these false-Conservatives. Many will be wolves in sheep’s clothing.

This week TEA Party activists around the country will be taking part in protests in every city. Their beef? The answer to that question is found in what TEA stands for. Unlike the moron libtards of the weak “coffee party”, TEA is actually an acronym. It stands for Taxed Enough Already.

But during these protests, the uber-left is planning to undermine the credibility of the TEA Party by acting “on behalf of the Tea Party which will exaggerate their least appealing qualities (misspelled protest signs, wild claims in TV interviews, etc.)“. These goons will be among the true TEA Party activists purely to make a spectacle which will get the notice of the already libtarded Main Stream Media in an effort to discredit the grassroots nature of the protests and paint members of the movement as uneducated, racists who only oppose the Obama socialist agenda because the Emperor is black.

If they are willing to go all out in an effort to discredit the TEA Party activists this Thursday, why then would it be far fetched to imagine the uber-left infiltrating the TEA Party movement in order to shill for their favorite candidates? – Harry Reid for example.

Speaking of the racism claims, how about the claims of racial insults being thrown about the day of the Death Care vote? Real or imagined?

I know there is no proof these things ever took place but let’s for the sake of argument say that they did. Who is to say that these weren’t Democrat plants tasked with calling members of the Congressional Black Caucus (a racist organization if there ever was one) the “N” word and spitting on them? Think about it. The only reason why these members took this particular path to vote that particular day was to bait the crowd. Who says that they couldn’t be so low as to plant some stooges in the crowd to show said crowd as racists?

I assert that there will be many so-called “TEA Party” candidates running for office in November who are nothing more than Obama/Pelosi wolves in TEA Party clothing by design. They are there to split the Republican vote and insure a win.

Our task isn’t in November, it is this spring as the Republican Party decides who will run against the ~~Socialists~~ Democrats in November. Will we as a Party select blue-blood John McCain type Progressive Republicans who look to Teddy Roosevelt for inspiration or will it be Reaganite Conservatives who will ask for your vote to lead this nation out of the socialist abyss the Emperor is leading us into?

The answer for this election cycle is not a third party. The TEA Party movement was never intended to be a political party. It is a movement. Inspired by the frustration of the masses who are telling those who they have previously elected that they are not happy with what they are doing. The TEA Party members are working within the two Parties to bring about reforms within those Parties. - Personally I don’t see how the Democrats can ever be reformed at this point, they’ve sold their collective souls to Karl Marx.

As a political movement the TEA Parties are unstoppable. Unless they decide to run a candidate. Nothing can destroy the credibility of the grass-roots nature of the TEA Parties than to putting forth candidates for office.

Don’t be fooled into believing that just because the candidate wearing a “TEA Party” label is who he/she says they are. Anyone can say they are a TEA Party member. Can you truly be sure?

That is about the size of it. Pelosi, Reid, and Obama are leading their Party to a massive defeat in November. And they don’t care. Advancing a ultra-left wing socialist agenda is more important to them than the power that they currently have. Obama will still have another 2 years to govern by fiat and that is his plan.

Here is a more accurate description of the ObamaCare plan…

If 216 Members vote for this POS bill today, we’re getting it that way regardless.
