SPECIAL POST
It hasn't really made the news, probably because the media is covering it up at a White House request; the White House certainly would not want this issue to be a matter of rabid public discussion while the President is trying to get his $1.5 trillion Government Health Care Plan passed.
When Miss Hillary visited China, the Chinese told her in no uncertain terms that they are "very concerned" about America's growing budget deficit.
There it is folks. The warning has been put out there for us to see. But, the warning has not been heeded; we continue to move forward on a reckless spending spree while, at the same time, new unemployment claims forge ahead at break-neck speed. Those who are unemployed do not contribute to the tax base; in fact, they increase government expenditures in jobless benefits. So, at a time of a huge deficit, expenses are going up and income is going down. In short, we are all on a train spelled D-I-S-A-S-T-E-R; the wheels could literally come off at any second.
You can depend on this: When it happens, the White House will point the fickle finger of blame everywhere except where it belongs.
I don't know about you, but I am very scared, and I AM clinging on to my guns and my religion.

SAY GOODBYE TO LIBERTY, FREEDOM AND JUSTICE
The current government seems to be making it clear that they want to intrude themselves into your living room, your bedroom, and your way of life. In short, they are operating from the philosophical standpoint that only the government can give you rights... You are not, contrary to what the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution say... born with "unalienable rights."
In taking his sarcastic jab at Pennsylvanians clinging to their guns and religion, Obama stuck it out there on his sleeve that he has a dim view of both religion and guns. In tackling the Cambridge, Massachusetts Gates arrest, Obama made it plain that he believes that racial discrimination still exists and that whites need to be penalized for it. In accusing the medical profession of unnecessary procedures taken strictly for the purpose of profit, he says that doctors are inherently unethical and that, therefore, the government needs to protect you by taking away from you the right to choose your own physician, hospital, or insurance plan.
The new Government Health Care Plan solidly puts government into your living room. It provides for health care for 12 million illegal aliens and for people who deliberately sit on their duffs and draw welfare. It provides for you to pay a penalty if you are overweight, it provides for government-funded abortions, and it allows for the denial of medical care to senior citizens while at the same time reducing their Medicare benefits.
The government is telling you what kind of cars you will be allowed to drive. The government is saying how much energy you can use and, if you exceed that, you are going to pay a penalty. The government is on the verge of denying you the right to own or carry a gun. Already, it is a crime to pray in many public places. If you make too much money, the government is going to take it away from you.
How long will it be before the government declares that you cannot have more than two children and, if you do, the third one is going to be "eliminated," and you are going to be sterilized and imprisoned? No way? That's the law in China already.
Once they have taken away all of our rights, we will never get them back.
And who will we blame, when the blame lies with us because we didn't put a stop to it.... right now, today?

OBAMA'S FLAMING BIGOTRY
SPECIAL POST
Back in pre-election days, Barrack Hussein Obama's remarks about Pennsylvanian's "clinging on to their guns and religion" stormed across the country and threatened to destroy his Presidential ambitions.
At Wednesday night's Press Conference, the President stepped into another furor when he accused the Cambridge, Massachusetts Police Department of being "stupid" in its handling of the arrest of a distinguished university professor. In doing so, he prefaced his statement by admitting that he did not have all of the facts of the matter. And then, he stepped right back into it again by playing the race card, practically accusing the Police of racial prejudice against the professor.
Presidents know better, and very rarely comment on any such event because of the weight their remarks carry. Here is a purported lawyer and university graduate with a degree in law, who publicly acts as prosecutor, jury and judge on a matter of which he is not fully informed.
To me, his remarks were a "knee jerk reaction" to a reporter's question and, as such reveal a great deal about the substance of the man... just as did his remarks about "guns and religion" last fall. They reveal a deep-seated prejudice against whites and everything whites stand for. They reopen wounds in our history that most certainly predate Martin Luther King Jr. and transcend decades of progress on civil rights issues.
They also finally demonstrate and prove to me that the man known as "The Messiah" is unfit for a position of national and world leadership.

GOVERNMENT IGNORES TREASONOUS ACTS
If you knew that an enemy was within your immediate vicinity, what would you do about it? By enemy, I mean someone who hates you, your country and everything you stand for and who is prepared to do anything and everything necessary to eliminate your opposition. If you knew that the only way to make yourself safe was to get rid of them, either by killing them or by removing them to a safe distance or by otherwise neutralizing their ability to do you harm, would you ignore them?
The founding fathers decided that they would not tolerate such activity within their midst if the activity was directed at the overthrow of the United States Government. They wrote into the Constitution a provision for dealing with "Treason." That is, anyone within the country who is an enemy of the country or who gives aid or comfort to such an enemy is guilty of treason.
On July 19, 2009 in Chicago, Illinois,Hizb ut-Tahrir held a conference in Chicago to recruit new members and to openly identify itself. The group is reportedly linked to Al Queda and its goal is to establish an international Islamic Empire to the exclusion of everything else, including the United States and all of its non-Islamic citizens. Hizb ut-Tahrir has strongholds in Western countries, including Britain, France and Spain, and clearly is looking to strengthen its base in the U.S.
Their plan is to indoctrinate children into their ideology and strategy beginning in middle school years so that they are ready to carry out the objectives of the organization when the call comes.
Is our government to blame for not arresting members of this group and charging them with treason against the United States?
Certainly, that prospect brings to mind the detainment of Japanese Americans in internment camps during World War II. That was a horrible wrong by our country against our own citizens who had pledged their allegiance to the United States. Those radical Muslims in Chicago, however, have pledged their allegiance to seeing us dead.
These radicals need to be arrested, charged, and imprisoned. Not only is this necessary for our safety, but it is also necessary for the safety of peace-loving non-radical Muslims living here; if the radicals start something, which they surely will, I don't know of an American in his right mind who will not start shooting Muslims...all Muslims... and asking questions later.
We certainly will be to blame if we do not act now to protect ourselves and our country. The failure of our government to proactively address this issue is treason in and of itself.

OBAMA CONTINUES TO PUSH COUNTRY TOWARD REBELLION
We're all aware of the fact that Congress did not read one word of the TARP Bill before it got passed. Nor did they read word one of the Stimulus Bill. 350 plus pages were added to the Energy Cap & Trade Bill in the wee small hours of the morning and the House passed that bill a couple of hours later, so we know they did not read THAT bill either.As a matter of fact, this Congress is a rubber stamp for anything the President wants, pure and simple.
Obama comes back from another world trip and discovers that his Health Care Reform Bill is showing signs of resistance and he immediately takes to the microphone and announces that the bill will be passed and that "inaction is not an option." In other words, he flat out told Congress that they will do as he says, or else.
Once again, we are going to be saddled with what will amount to another trillion dollars or so... Maybe two or three.... over the next few years and we, the people, have no say in it. We are not going to be allowed to read it, to discuss it, to digest, or to propose alternatives.
Are we now living in a total dictatorship? Don't you understand what is going on to our country here?

THE NEXT TWO WEEKS
SPECIAL POST
During the next two weeks, Sotomayor will be confirmed by the Senate as a Supreme Court Justice. That will set the stage up for the momentum needed by Obama to get the Cap and Trade Energy Bill passed as soon as Congress comes back from summer recess. In fact, I think there's a reasonable chance that a Health Care Bill will get out of the House before the summer recess begins.
Obama is used to getting his way and he will not hesitate to use dirty tricks to get it.
The Republicans are too disorganized and lack the leadership to prevent it. In fact, recent polls that show declining faith in Obama and his goons squads are definitely NOT matched by improving opinions of the Republicans.
More and more, I become convinced that the nation needs a new political party.

I TOLD YOU SO
I said it way back when they passed the Stimulus Bill, that there was going to be another one. All of my friends started looking at me as if I had gone around the bend. Here we are in July... Unemployment is at 10% or more, (who knows what the figure is, but you can bet your sweet petunias they are not telling us the truth), lots of money has gone missing, and the Administration is talking about doing another stimulus package.
And, when you ask them what in the hell is going on, they still shrug their shoulders and blame Bush.
It is now apparent to me that we have elected a real dunce to the White House and he has surrounded himself with more dunces.
The price of gas is $3.14 where I live and again climbing by the minute. Some gumball in Congress is advocating that we lower loan standards for the poor who are trying to get into condos.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?
The major stumbling block in the Health Plan they are trying to shove down our throats is.... How they're going to convince the public that we need to provide coverage for the illegal aliens?
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?
They've been caught trying to sell their power and influence in cooperation with the WASHINGTON POST.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?
They blame their own Congressional Budget Office for disagreeing with their economic projections.
IS THIS THE CHANGE YOU VOTED FOR?

THE BLAME STOPS HERE
The Minnesota State Supreme Court decision to seat Al Franken into that state's U.S. Senate slot all but guarantees total and complete centralization of the nation's governing power into the hand of those who have been on a spending spree bound to be a burden on the backs of Americans for generations to come. Their only opposition, the decimated Republican Party, has now been totally trumped.
What this means in the days and weeks to come is that the Congress no longer has to listen to its critics. The energy CAP and Trade bill is now certain to pass in the Senate, meaning that manufacturing companies will be thereby "incentivized" to move their operations to Mexico or South America where they don't have to face the monstrous regulation and cost of doing business that this bill poses. There go even more jobs out of the country.
The cost to Americans for their energy, now rapidly going up again, is likely to soar, further grinding the economy to a halt. Americans are not going to be able spend anything on anything except for food, gas, clothing and heat.
Adding to this ominous outlook is the reality that the new Administration does not understand the whys of the fact that no loans are being made and credit is not moving. They have no one to blame but themselves. It is Hussein's administration that has virtually made written, legally binding contracts changeable at will by the government; they can change mortgage rates, repayment terms, and collection policies at will. That, of course, means that banks and mortgage companies can no longer assure their stockholders of an operating profit if they lend money out. The net result is... No one wants to lend money. That's quite a paradox. The government has put tons of our money into the hands of a banking industry that doesn't want to lend it out. On the other hand, who wants to borrow it, given the dire financial and employment situation this country is in?
Now comes Hussein's Health-Care Reform that is another tax ball-and-chain waiting to happen. If passed, stockholders in insurance companies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and all of their associated sub-industries are going to be taken to the cleaners. The Canadians who can afford to come to the United States to get better health care than they can get at home... will stay home. And, the Administration is already making noise about fat people, people who smoke, people who drink, people who don't exercise... You just know that more liberties and freedoms of choice are going to be erased. In the meantime, estimates of a $1.6 trillion cost admittedly will not cover everybody, (perhaps as low as 10% of the uninsured Americans). At the same time, benefits being extended to the elderly under the current Medicare system are going to be greatly reduced, and taxed at that. The costs of training new people in the new system have also not been included in the cost estimates.
In the meantime, back at the ranch, there's the unsolved mystery of the $134.5 billion in U.S. Bonds that surfaced in Italy. Everyone who has attempted to get to the bottom of that story has been thwarted. Treasury refuses to confirm or deny anything and everything to do with the story, which means there must be substance to it. The two Japanese men who were detained while carrying the bonds to Switzerland have reportedly been released.
Now that your trust in our government has been restored, my fellow Americans, we've just seen the tip of the well-known iceberg.
Remember those Black Panthers who obstructed voting in Philadelphia November? Well, after being arrested, charged, tried and convicted... all charges against them were dropped and they were released by Attorney General Eric Holder. ACORN, under investigation in several states for its contribution to "election irregularities," was named by officials in the Hussein Administration to be in charge of the 2010 Census, a job routinely assigned to the Department of Commerce. The Administration tried to mitigate the news by claiming that ACORN will only be handling a few, minute details of the census in "remote" areas of the country. The facts are that attempts have been made to cut off federal funds being directed to ACORN and those attempts have been summarily checkmated by a group of Congressional Democrats. Both Congressman Barney Frank and Senator Christopher Dodd have refused to allow their committees to investigate ACORN's activities and Eric Holder is refusing to allow the Justice Department take a look at the accusations. In the meantime, ACORN is changing its name to "COI," short for Community Organizations International, because they are afraid the bad ACORN publicity might present problems when they conduct the "census," which, by the way, will be used to redraw Congressional political boundaries.
With a Congress and Administration now keeping us from getting to the bottom of these wrongs against our country, what are we going to do? And, yes I know he doesn't like to be called Hussein. It's "disrespectful." On the other hand, he has no respect for the wishes and fears of the overwhelming majority of the nation right now, either.
Sadly, we have no one to blame for this mess but ourselves.And, I most certainly don't like the alternatives.
