ACORN's mighty Louisiana Oak

 
Selma, Alabama - March 7, 1965: State troopers move on marchers crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge - provoking the worst incident of violence of the entire Civil Rights era.
 
At once, Washington moves to overcome Southern legislators' resistance to effective voting rights legislation:
 
President Johnson issues an emergency call for a"strong voting rights law."
 
Congressional hearings began. Soon thereafter, a bill emerges that would become the "Voting Rights Act." 
 
Three decades later, a Louisiana election takes place - a mockery of democracy. Its outcome would profoundly shake the nation to its very foundation - an outcome "credited" to ACORN.
 
ACORN is a political cancer that continues to metastisize. Voter fraud perils the Republic. Corrupt democratic election officials want to count every vote - again, and again, and again.
 
Recently, in an office building in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie, workers were gathered about the coffee machine - reminiscing about the stolen 1996 election for the U.S. Senate, when Democrat Mary Landrieu "defeated" Republican Louis "Woody" Jenkins:
 
A brilliant conservative orator serving 25 years in the state Legislature, Jenkins was pitted against far-left challenger Landrieu, in a race for the seat vacated by J. Bennet Johnson (a democrat). 
 
On election day, Jenkins led exit polls 51 to 49. As returns came in, it held until 9:45 PM, when suddenly, a surge of votes from New Orleans  saw Landrieu edge slightly ahead.
 
Final returns showed Landrieu won by only 5,788 out of 1.7 MILLION votes cast  - the closest Senate race in America that year, and the closest statewide race in Louisiana history. 
 
Outside New Orleans, Jenkins won the state, prevailing 53% to 47%; but within New Orleans, Landrieu's incredible 100,000-vote margin was just enough to eek out her razor-thin "victory."
 
But it was all the work of ACORN, who's fingerprints were everywhere:
 
Throughout election day, there were countless reports of "irregularities." Jenkins had refused concession - loudly demanding the results be investigated.
 
Predictably, Democratic election officials began stone-walling - defying a federal court order. They denied access to voter registration applications, and other vital documents.
 
Nevertheless, on Dec. 5 1996, Jenkins filed a US Senate petition, challenging the results. 4000 pages were given to the Senate Rules Committee, documenting massive voter fraud, where democrat machine corruption had been obvious.
 
But even though Jenkins had cried "foul" immediately afterwards, a Democratic Committee majority pronounced him..."a sore loser"... who needed to "get on with his life;" the request for a Senate investigation denied.
 
In New Orleans, examples of the rampant vote fraud were unending:
 
The local media garnered hundreds of reports from witnesses who were offered money (or alcohol) to vote. Democrats had placed voter punch cards throughout all black churches in Louisiana.
 
On election day, hundreds of vans and buses cruised New Orleans' public housing projects - soliciting persons to "make some money" by going to the polls, then voting multiple times. Democrats were paid anywhere from $10 up to $120, for their votes.
 
Transcripts of conversations with persons selling their votes in New Orleans - and drivers who paid them - revealed a complex network of democratic operatives, who were paid by county commissioners, with access to large amounts of cash.
 
"This nice person drove up and asked whether I was registered," one woman said to the lawyers and investigators for Jenkins. "I told him I was, but didn't feel like voting. He said, 'If I paid you, would you go?' I got up from the bus stop bench - dusted off my pants - and got in the car."
 
The woman, who neither reads nor writes, claimed the man took her to three polling places, where she voted and signed an "X" each time. 
 
That same election day, a 32-year-old mechanic testified he drove a van, "picking up people who proceeded to vote at least ten times, or even more." For his efforts, he received $700.
 
One woman, who said she voted three times, groused about how much she was paid. "I was supposed to get $75; but all they paid was $25." Added the woman..."they gave me some 'stanky T-shirt' with Landrieu's picture on it."
 
Throughout that election day, Orleans Parish exit polls showed Jenkins and Landrieu in a virtual deadlock. But at 9:45 p.m.--almost two hours after the polls had closed-- some 70 of New Orleans' 474 precincts had not yet reported their votes.
 
Outside the city, Jenkins had won by 95,000 votes. Within city limits, however, he was buried by a margin of 100,000.
 
Over 200 New Orleans city employees had been ordered to campaign for Mayor Marc Morial's "hand-picked candidates" - or be fired. A list of employees was posted in City Hall, directing them to either Clinton or Landrieu headquarters, where they would be given directives.
 
In certain New Orleans precincts, computer voting-machine tapes had incorrect dates -precincts where Jenkins lost to Landrieu by a margin of NINE to one.
 
Under Louisiana law, when polls close, voting machines are to be locked: then three days later, re-opened - in full view of the candidates - and their totals reviewed. But an invesigation revealed the Orleans Parish Clerk of Courts - a Landrieu supporter - opened all 677 voting machines outside the presence of the candidates
 
Democratic Election officials swore the machines had not been tampered with.
 
In 1994 - as required by federal law - Louisiana had enacted a "Motor Voter" statute, allowing voters to sign up at license bureaus or at welfare and government offices. To protect ballot security, any voter registering by mail - who never before had cast a ballot -would produce a photo ID at the polls.
 
That seemed reasonable. But in September 1996, the Clinton Administration said "no."
 
Assistant Attorney General Deval L. Patrick decreed that (quote)..."the provision violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965, because blacks were not as likely as whites to have driver's licenses or other picture IDs."
 
Hence, under Clinton's decree, officials at Louisiana's polls could no longer request a photo ID to uncover fraud.
 
Ten months later, a Lake Charles investigative reporter sent 25 bogus voter applications -complete with fake names, addresses and dates of birth - to Louisiana voter registrars. Twenty of the fictitious residents--including one signed "X"--received voter registration cards.
 
Jenkins's investigators uncovered evidence that of the addresses of 3169 registered voters in New Orleans' public housing projects - considered VACANT by the city- 1380 voted illegally in the election.
 
One unnamed ACORN worker revealed yet more "company secrets”.
 
- Among "certain demographic groups," voters got not only rides to the polls, but money  for "expenses," a free box lunch, plus a list of "those one should vote for."
 
- Certain “poll watchers” also got paid, who's job it was to "co-ordinate votes" with the same list. Hence, Landrieu won 85% of Orleans - the final parish to be counted.
 
- There were a significant number of phantom votes cast: the number of votes tallied on voting machines exceeded the number of voter signatures on the precinct register. Also specific names appearing on poll lists were not found on the lists of registered voters.
 
Not surprisingly, Clinton's Justice Department - under the initiatives of Duval Patrick- made sure that all legal venues sought by Woody Jenkins would mysteriously run into legal "roadblocks."
 
Even worse, the overwhelmingly republican Congress left Jenkins hanging! They did NOTHING - a tradition which seems to have carried over to this very day.
 
Thus, are we not getting the government we deserve? Mary Landrieu, purportedly a moderate democrat, has all along represented the radical left - placed on her Senate throne by ACORN.
 
How many more elections will ACORN steal?
 
How many more "one-critical-vote" margins will the Senate maintain, before we realize how a marxist oligarchy of 60, continues to hold sway over 300 million Americans - two thirds of whom OPPOSE what they do!
 
Meanwhile Landrieu - Harry Reid's high-priced call-girl - has time enough for ACORN to hatch another plot to steal yet ANOTHER election, when she runs in 2014.
 
ITEM:  Landrieu's brother, Mitch, currently, Louisiana's lieutenant governor, will campaign for Mayor of New Orleans in 2010. Hence - like Marc Morial before him – if he wins, Landrieu's 2014 re-election could be a fait accompli.
 
ITEM: Mary Landrieu - is the daughter of Maurice “Moon” Landrieu, former mayor of New Orleans.
 
ITEM: The Landrieus are deeply entrenched in Louisiana politics. Mary’s sister, Madeleine, is a Civil District Court Judge who, like most CDC judges, ran unopposed last election.
 
ITEM: The Landrieu's were germane to the founding of ACORN. 

In 1969 Maurice “Moon” Landrieu ran to become mayor of New Orleans.
Despite winning but 19% of the total vote (placing second in an initial Democrat primary), Moon somehow "defeated" highly favored opponent Jimmy Fitzmorris in a run-off primary, then went on to win the Mayor’s race in 1970.
 
Co-incidentally, in 1970, New Orleans native Wade Rathke moves to Arkansas - founding the "Arkansas Community Organization for Reform Now" (ACORN).
 
But then - viola!  ACORN soon becomes headquartered in New Orleans- then right behind follows SIEU. The "A" in ACORN is changed to "association."
 
Here things become "fuzzy."
 
Did Rathke have a cryptic connection to a prominent political family of corrupt New Orleans?
 
Even more mysteriously, who was it that backed Wade Rathke financially, enabling ACORN to spread like cancer throughout the country?
 
Then twenty six years later, Mary Landrieu - abetted by the SEIU and ACORN - wins her senate seat, setting a pattern which would enable the left to eventually seize control of Congress, using the thuggish tactics of the ACORN playbook. 
 
Mary Landrieu’s sell-out "yes" vote came with a hitch: Hary Reid's promise to funnel campaign money to her brother, to get the "extra ground game" to win the new Orleans Mayorial race - virtually guaranteeing her re-election in 2014.
 
This the real secret behind Reid's so-called "Louisiana purchase."
 
So to all you brain-dead republicans out there - ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?
 
Despite polls showing 2-1 voter opposition, is it any wonder that the Senate Democrats have rammed through Obamacare?  
 
Despite polls that show America is a "conservative-center" nation, liberal democrat incumbents keep winning re-election - often by the narrowest margins - yet it never seems to end.
 
POINT: A federal judge (Clinton appointee) has ruled ACORN's 'defunding' was ruled "unconstitional.' Again, the republicans do NOTHING!
 
POINT: Michael Steele, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and every other conservative mouthpiece, keep reassuring everyone..."We'll get 'em in 2010!"
 
POINT: Pollsters and political analysts alike "question" whether incumbent Senate democrats can continue to survive politically.
 
Stupid fools! Don't the republicans realize that this is EXACTLY what these venal democrats want them to think!
 
The Republicans foolishly KEEP DISCOUNTING ACORN! Until this surefire blueprint for stealing elections is made illegal, senate democrats will triumph again & again! Do not the republicans perceive the idiocy of their overconfidence? Is it any wonder why these radicals have no fear of their constituents?
 
Why would democrats vote for something (Obamacare) that is so blatantly unpopular? - are they stupid enough to committ politcal suicide? Liberals are all about control- and never giving it up!
 
Ask Minnesota's Norm Coleman how he feels about it: ACORN stole away his Senate seat like a thief in the night, while Michael Steele and idiot Tim Pawlenty did NOTHING!
 
The result? Two more despicable leftists - Franken and Landrieu - enough to empower a runaway leftist Senate - giving them a crucial 60 seat super-majority, moving to enslave us - usuing OUR OWN tax money- and who will probably remain in power again in  2010!
 
Yet the tea parties and Republicans talk of "sweeping then out of office"
 
Sure. 
 
ALL politics is LOCAL. Politics is not unlike war; and to the overconfident goes defeat.
 
One can only wonder how many other Democrat Senators stole seats with extra votes -added at the last minute. The Dems have concocted a perfect plan to steal elections, thus achieving the magical number of 60.
 
Like 1965, a new federal voting rights act is needed! ACORN cannot go unchallenged!
 
CHANGE # 1: all statewide voting laws must be made federal (i.e. standardized throughout ALL 50 states).
 
CHANGE # 2: all voter registrations must be uniform: One registration- picture ID required - and no "same day" register-voting.
 
CHANGE # 3: absentee ballots must be adressed to a federal voting center in Washington DC - to be counted under supervision of the FBI - who will will arrest anyone showing duplicity.
 
CHANGE # 4 - the BREAKTHROUGH: trash all paper ballots - trash all the expensive voter machines - thereby eliminating all possiblity of local corruption. The republicans submit a new plan for INTERNET VOTING : computer terminals placed nationwide throughout the local polls, enabling voters to cast ballots- who receive a special voter "password," that can be used only ONCE.
 
a) it would trap the democrats: how could they oppose such a measure to assure intregrity in the upcoming 2010 election?
 
b) ACORN would be powerless to submit fraudulent votes, or multiple votes from a single person
 
c) the public would overwhelmingly support such a measure; and the House and Senate majorities in Congress would be virtually powerless to oppose it.
 
Like the IRS in charge of  tax-collections, why not a governent agency - in charge of nationwide voting - with authority to punish those who dare to attempt voter fraud. This is one time when expanding the federal government's power would be an asset.
 
Until elections are controlled, and politicians (like Landrieu and the rest of the corrupto-crats) are thrown out of office, we will continue to march headlong towards one party rule, and the tyranny of the left.
 
And if the hydra-headed monster of ACORN cannot be slain, the Republicans could be left wandering in the political desert for another 40 years.

The robocall that ruined America?

 

SETTING: Monday, November 2, 2009... 2:41 pm in the afternoon:

SCENE: An 72-year-old man (a lifelong republican) hurriedly clambers up the stairs from the basement, to answer a ringing phone - thinking to himself..."who could this be?" 

 

It is a fateful "robo-call" - a call that gave the democrats their crucial 218-vote majority in the House on healthcare reform. A vote so crucial, it would alter the course of the nation:

 

(begin call)

 

"Hello?"

 

(a piercing, electronic-sounding voice is heard)

 

....“Hi, this is Dede Scozzafava calling on behalf of Bill Owens.  And I wanted to let you know that I am supporting Bill for Congress."

 

...“Since beginning my campaign I have said that this election is not about me, it’s about the people of this district. It’s not in the cards for me to be your representative, but I strongly believe Bill Owens is the only candidate who can build upon John McHugh’s lasting legacy in Congress"

 

...“In Bill Owens I see a sense of duty and integrity"

 

..."He will be an independent voice, devoted to doing what is right for New York. To address the tough challenges ahead, we must rise above partisanship and politics and work together."

 

...“Please join me in voting for Bill Owens on Tuesday."

 

(end) 

 

Indeed; this clever message – that comprised the thousands of robocalls to all registered voters in New York's 23rd Congressional district - would swing an election to a liar liberal democrat (Owens), providing the crucial margin that Nancy Pelosi would so desperately need.

 

The 23rd Congressional district (much of it on the Canadian border) had been Republican for over 100 years. GOP incumbent, John McHugh, was stepping down.

 

But now, due to the compelling "charm" of Senate cockroach Chuck Schumer (who persuaded RINO Scozzafova to throw her support to a democrat) - plus Rahm Emanuel (who wrote the robocall's "script") - a crucial seat in the House went from red to blue.

 

Predictably, Owens, the winner - after campaigning he would NEVER vote for a bill with the Public Option - was flown to DC the following Thursday; sworn-in Friday; just in time to cast his fateful "Yea" vote on Saturday night.

 

A naive, Republican electorate had been conned by someone (Scozzafava) they had trusted implicitly... "In Bill Owens I see a sense of duty and INTEGRITY."

 

In a debate held only a week before (October 31) Mr. Owens had repeatedly assured these same conservative voters that... "the public option has no place in the House health care reform bill."

 

TRANSLATION: whenever a liberal swears that they're ENTIRELY against something, it's exactly what they are intending to do!

 

Not surprisingly, 24 hours had not even passed (after the election) when an Owens spokesman issued a "clarification," saying the new Congressman had..."recanted" his "solid position" against the Public Option: (quote)..."Mr. Owens does not wish it to be a ‘litmus test’ for the Health Reform bill."

 

Ironically, liar-extraordinaire Owens - campaigning as a moderate - had posted on his website..." I am firmly opposed to cutting Medicare benefits, taxing health care benefits, and increased taxes on the middle class in any way..."

 

Basically the two-faced, Kerry-esque Owens was now chortling..."I campaigned AGAINST health reform, before I voted for it - SUCKERS!"

On election night, picture Schumer, Emanuel and Pelosi, rolling on the floor laughing, when fool conservative, Doug Hoffman, was told to concede (too early) at 10 PM - even before 10,000 absentee ballots had been counted!

In retrospect, could the Republicans have done anything different?

 

Once RNC chairman Michael Steele decided to trash Scozzafava (like last year's calender), did he not realize that hell hath no fury like a RINO woman politicially scorned?

 

Could he not deduce that she would quickly turn on the party?

 

And Scozzafava's last-minute endorsement would bear tragic consequences:

 

How could the Republicans have expected a liberal RINO - with her union boss husband - to not be anything but TROUBLE?

 

Before the election, Scozzafava had sought and received the endorsement of all eleven Republican county chairmen in the 23rd district.

 

A skilled campaigner, she had worked hard in the expansive area, gaining funding, putting in her own cash - sticking to a mostly straightforward platform on the issues.

 

Then along comes the RNC, who now decide - from the outside– that she fails their new 'litmus' test. They engage in a scorched-earth campaign against her, using their inflexible "test" as justification. 

 

When Scozzafava reads the handwriting on the wall and withdraws, the republican national party (and conservative talk radio) lampoon her for her "liberalism," and immediately embrace newcomer, Doug Hoffman - a naive fool with the political guile of a hibernating squirrel.

 

And worse, could not the Republicans even have advised the squirrel-like Hoffman to get his stomach-turning, yellowish teeth cleaned? Every time the man shook hands and smiled, it was yet another vote (or more) sure to be cast for the other side.

 

Campaign rule number one: you must look good on TV! 

 

Campaign rule number two: your campaign manager must exceed the intelligence level of any one (or all) of the Three Stooges.

 

On the night of the election - with the whole world watching - Hoffman stood by like a moron, while voter fraud, confusion, and "lost" absentee ballots would once-again steal yet another crucial Congressional election in favor of the Democrats.

 

In Oswego County - where polls had Hoffman with a huge, 16% percentage point lead heading into Election Day - Hoffman was falsely reported to have led by only 500 votes - with 93 percent of the vote counted, by 9 o'clock on election night.

 

(due to fraud, Hoffman had actually won by 1,748 votes -- 12,748 to 11,000).

 

Now steps forward Rob Ryan - Hoffman's stooge-like campaign manager - who, at 10 PM, advises his client to "be a gentleman" and concede the undecided contest - touching off a wild celebration in the Whitehouse!

 

"I don’t know if we would have conceded on election night," said Mr. Ryan..."an important factor in the decision was the unexpected -- and erroneous -- close vote in Oswego County...."That’s the thing that threw us off" (duh). 

 

Naturally, the ACORN-tainted Oswego County elections officials blamed the "mistakes" on "chaos" at their call-in center, including a phone system 'foul-up' - voting inspectors who had read numbers "incorrectly" when phoning in results.

 

NOTE: More votes were cast in Oswego than in any other of the 11 counties comprising the 23rd district. 

 

In Jefferson - the district’s second-biggest county for voter turnout - four precincts had reported Hoffman receiving ZERO votes - NONE.

 

And surprise! Sean M. Hennessey, Jefferson County DEMOCRATIC (Acorn) elections commissioner, claimed poll inspectors in the four precincts "inadvertantly" reported Hoffman had tallied no votes - they had read the "wrong line" of the poll system's printout.

 

Said Mr. Hennesey..."Results in some precincts were either incorrectly relayed by the poll worker, or incorrectly typed by the part-time staff, who were busy answering phones at the county elections department."

 

Hoffman’s stupid, premature concession -- based on "snafus" in Oswego County and elsewhere - set off a chain of events that echoed all the way to Washington, D.C., and eventually secured passage of Pelosi's historic health care reform bill.

 

But instead of conceding, what if Hoffman had wisely contested the election?

 

Owens would have been in limbo. Pelosi would have been tied in knots; and possibly, the final House vote would have been delayed into the next week - plenty of time for wavering blue dogs to be flooded with calls from home constituents -  perhaps postponing the vote indefinitely! 

 

Yet Hoffman mindlessly concedes, seemingly oblivious to the overt possibility that ACORN would be out en masse to corrupt the election.

 

And what were the Republican superstars - Palin, Armey and Steele - doing that crucial night? Why did they not have surrogates in place at EVERY polling place to watch out for the inevitable fraud that always takes place in any crucial election?

 

Being conservative and honest is one thing; but to give an election away on a cascade of easily-preventable mistakes is absolutely unforgivable! How do we "vote the Bums out" when our so-called leaders stand by like imbeciles, and unwittingly encourage and reward fraud?

 

Again the Democrats had stolen yet another crucial HOUSE seat using their tried and true formula:

 

Lie- cheat - fabricate; then lie again!  The end always justifies the means: another liberal Democrat, all but guaranteed a life-time tenure in the US Congress.

 

And for all you Republicans (and Conservatives) out there who think Owens will be vulnerable in 2010 - forget it! Once a Democrat takes over a seat in deep-blue New York, they keep it - for GENERATIONS.

 

The power of incumbency is insurmountable if the opposition is not only inept in nominating its candidates - but allows robocall propaganda to affect the outcome of a 'winnable' election.

 

If the RNC would've stayed the heck out and allowed the 23rd district to have voted for their favorite, Dede Scozzafava - would she have signed her political death warrant and voted "Yea" for HR 3269 out of spite toward the rest of her unsupportive party? 

 

The House vote on the health reform package was historical. Obviously, the Owens vote made a crucial difference- the significance of which is still to be determined.

Republicans battered again


Let us give thanks:

 

Yes; be glad to know that our nice friends at the "Association for Community Organizers for Reform Now" have a new defender – the esteemed Alan Grayson.

 

So how did still another democratic leftist manage to get elected to the 111th Congress?

 

Simple.

 

Alan Grayson - the self-acclaimed Congressmen from ACORN - funded 70% of his 2008 election campaign himself. Mr. Grayson also "won" the endorsement of the left-leaning regional media.

 

In the weeks preceding the November 2008 election, the "Orlando Sentinel" printed four different editorials, in an attempt to water down strong support for incumbent Republican Rick Keller, who previously had held the traditionally conservative central Florida 8th district seat.

 

Not surprisingly, Grayson won by the usual ACORN chicanery.

 

He was the beneficiary of nearly 70% of the "early" votes cast; and although losing to Keller in the outlying rural counties (Osceola-Lake-Marion) he won in Orange county, helped by strong support of ethnic Puerto Ricans, SEIU members, Convention Center employees, Disney World, Universal Studios, plus the tourist hotel workers.

 

Although Republicans have tagged Grayson as a "loud-mouthed idiot-embarrassment" to the people of central Florida, that's EXACTLY what Rahm Emanuel - who "imported" this New York thug to run in a heavily-red district - wants them to think.

 

Grayson represents all the democratic party stands for: big government, and the full socialization of the US economy by 2015. And what can stop him? The Republicans under estimate this monster at their own peril!

 

So who is Alan Grayson? Just check out his hard left resume and judge for your self :

 

Originally from the Bronx, NY; educated at Harvard (Karl Marx U); worked for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in DC where he was further indoctrinated to the left, while working at her husband's Washington law firm; moved to Florida to get elected; finally made it on Obama's coat tails; 13th wealthiest member of Congress.

 

WARNING: Grayson's Republican opponent in 2010 will need heavy support to oust this most clever democrat. Yet Republicans are taking his demise for granted, and all because of what? That Grayson is obnoxious?

 

Wake up, Republican fools, Grayson acts obnoxious for a reason! It works! It draws this previously unknown slimeball ATTENTION.

 

In summer of 2008, Grayson drove around Orlando with one of those "Bush lied/People died" bumper stickers - yet still managed to win in November in a Republican district.

 

This August, Grayson held a contrived Town Hall meeting in a tiny Union hall, right AFTER holding a meeting with union members; thus all available seats were occupied, leaving non-union constituents haplessly stranded outside.

 

And just how clever is Mr.Grayson - supposedly some foot-in-the-mouth jerk who somehow made it to Congress?

 

POINT: Before being elected, Attorney Alan Grayson worked extensively on uncovering and combating contractor fraud in Iraq; and rather amazingly, was the ONLY counsel to win a corruption case against a defense contractor during the Bush administration

 

POINT: When asked to put into context ACORN's impact on the American taxpayer, Grayson replied: "The amount of money that ACORN has received in the past 20 years altogether is roughly equal to what the taxpayer paid to Haillburton each DAY during the war in Iraq."

 

POINT: Grayson is a founder of the "Alliance for Aging Research" which is supposedly a non-profit organization getting research grants - mostly stem cell research. This organization also receives funding for various "elderly health issue" related projects. Hence, Grayson stands to benefit handsomely from the Public Option.

 

POINT: Grayson publicly came out AGAINST Henry Waxman's cap 'n trade bill last June; but at the "last minute" dropped his stand against the energy tax after Waxman personally bribed him with a phony, $50 million pork project for Orlando - the National Center for Hurricane Research (yes, we'll soon learn how to prevent those nasty, level 4 hurricanes)

 

POINT: Last spring, ACORN made a personal stop at Mr.Grayson's Orlando district office to "thank" the Congressman for supporting Barack Obama’s budget; which of course, clandestinely funnels taxpayer money into ACORN's coffers.

 

Since the Obama administration is 100% behind Grayson - despite his so-called "gaffes" (all intentional) - this is all the more reason for Republicans to GET SERIOUS about defeating this bully, who threatens conservatives - not just in central Florida -but throughout the entire Republican party itself.

 

Who can remember any Congressmen bearing such arrogance (save for the odious Chuck Schumer), who is more articulate, more self-assured, and has an inherent knack for returning barbs aimed directly at him, with even greater political effect?

 

The Republicans foolishly discount Grayson's masterful, Alinsky-esque rhetoric:

 

Argue NOT the issue. Don't refute with facts or evidence. Just ridicule and call names; typical communist tactics - but with incredible damaging effect!

 

EXAMPLE: Grayson personally erased all Republican "death panel" momentum in public opinion polls vs. government-run health care -standing on the House floor and asking rhetorically: "What is the Republican plan? They want you to die quickly." Grayson has since received a net inflow of $2.5 MILLION dollars for his campaign war chest, rendering him virtually UNBEATABLE for the 2010 election.

 

CONCLUSION: Alan Grayson is God's gift to the Left.

 

He is a consummate liar. He lies about Republican proposals; lies about the Democrat's plan to tax the middle class into poverty. He refuses to address statistics that prove that the Democratic socialist agenda will put many mid-size and small businesses, OUT of business.

 

Grayson is already one of the best at spinning - and outright lying - to the media and his constituents.

 

Grayson is on Barney Frank's banking committee - a sponsor of the "Pay for Performance Act of 2009." It would impose government controls on all employee pay (not just top executives) of companies receiving funds from the U.S. government - altering the compensation agreements already in place.

 

He is one of 83 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus- basically communists masquerading as..."those bringing together the collective wisdom of progressives inside and outside of Congress" (their mission statement).

 

Can you picture Alan Grayson in the Senate, whereupon he would be more than likely to serve for life? Well that's just what the DNC has planned for their newest rising superstar.

 

Ah yes; we'll have Pelosi, Frank, Feinstein, Boxer, Schumer, Durbin, Hoyer, Waxman, Waters, Weiner, Nadler... and NOW Grayson, driving the Marxist agenda into our living rooms; as we yell and scream at the television, faced with the prospect of watching these leftist cretins be perpetually re-elected for the remainder of their political lives.

 

And what are the savants from the Republican National Committee planning for their newest, and possibly most dangerous threat of all?

 

Delusions! Pretensions! Naively assuming that "the conservative people of central Florida will vote this idiot from office."

 

Sure.

 

Every Republican should be scared to death of Grayson. The RNC undoubtedly won't throw enough money into the 2010 race- not when their resources are so limited.

   

Grayson is loaded. He has his own personal wealth. Whichever of his GOP challengers survives the primary will have little name recognition, and not enough money, as the GOP will undoubtedly blunder again in 2010, perpetually wondering...."why are people so stupid to keep re-electing these jerks."

 

But who are the stupid jerks?

 

Rahm Emanuel personally imported a New York City radical to steal yet another Republican seat from a highly conservative central Florida district - even going so far as to brand Grayson a Blue Dog.

 

And with the help of ACORN, it worked.

 

Pretty stupid eh?

Obama's Hate Crime- banishing the truth

 
Harry "give-em-hell" Truman was known for his legendary temper, and could be less than temperate with his language.
 
Once, a Washington Post music critic- having reviewed a piano recital by Truman's daughter, Margaret - wrote: "Her voice was flat" and..."I was mystified by how people could even pay attention to her."
 
Upon reading this, Truman expolded in fury, calling the paper's editor, demanding that he fire the worthless *!^!#**%*, and "hire a critic who KNOWS something about music!"
 
Whenever anyone disagreed with Truman, he sought revenge - up to and including humiliation.
 
In a well-publicized conversation with General Omar Bradley about General Douglas MacArthur (whom Truman had dismissed as commander of the UN force in Korea) Truman was quoted..."This *#*!%!!* isn't going to quit on me...I want him FIRED"
 
During the election campaign of 1952, Truman openly expressed utter disdain for his Republican opponents, calling General Dwight Eisenhower a...*&%#*#* Army brat, and branding Richard Nixon as "squirrel head."
 
However, when Barack Obama gets perturbed, the "warning signs" are not as obvious: He'll begin his sentence with "look," and will jab his left index finger at the air.
 
And when our anti-president gets REALLY peeved, he'll begin his sentence with..."Make no mistake." Then, he'll throw down the gauntlet, citing the object of his anger.
 
But for the first time, Mr. Obama appears to be losing his cool - seemingly incapable of experiencing either defeat or embarrassment.
 
Ever since the health care issue went from simmer to boil, Obama finds himself in an unfamilair position - on the defensive. Could his political armor be sporting a few telltale chinks?
 
Might be.
 
Recently in Bristol, Virginia, Mr. Obama had chosen the unusual venue of a Kroger store to quash all the "scurrilous" rumors concerning his effforts to reform healthcare:

"Make no mistake" he began (in the canned vegetable aisle), “Nobody is talking about some government takeover of health care. These guys on the radio are the one's saying it; and I'm tired of hearing it..."
 
"...I have been as clear as I can be: Under the reform I've proposed, if you like your doctor, you keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you keep your health care plan. These folks (talk radio) need to stop scaring everybody."  adding that... "scare tactics such as this burn me up."
 
While Obama was venting, you could see seething anger through his glowering eyes, and read his mind: "How DARE they interfere my right to lie! I want this #!#**%$#* talk radio nemesis off the air ASAP."
 
Ever since Mr. Obama began his presidentail campaign, he's been unchallenged by the mainstream media; obviously enjoying his "right " to say anything unobstructed by anyone.
 
But now, people realize government-controlled healthcare is going to directly affect everyone, and are listening intently to the so called 'hate speech' of right-wing talk radio - the purveyors of the truth. And Barack Obama wants them gone... and at once.
 
In Obama's mind, talk radio is “hate radio." But Obama is the one who hates:
 
He hates the way talk radio has grown from mere nuisance, to grave threat. Hence, in his vindictive scheming mind, it’s to be labeled “hate speech,” and thus considered outside the protection of the First Amendment.
 
There are ominous signs everywhere that talk radio is on every powerful democrat's radar screen: And what do all these liberals fear? The truth.
 
Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, has gone so far as to call conservative talk radio, “hate radio.” The drum beat is ever-increasing among liberal legislators (and Obama) for the FCC to institute the so-called requirement of localism, to provide “balance” on talk radio shows.

This means that the FCC willl now call for recommendations from local community boards (ACORN) to see if  "local radio is performing in the general interests of the community."

The conservatives should have learned their lesson by now: anytime liberals use the word "community" it implies some new form tyranny is on the way, to further erode our rights guaranteed under the Constitution.

But the reality is clear: conservative talk radio (and conservative values) are under siege in America by the left. Their method? Quash free speech by convincing everyone talk radio is hate speech - that free speech can only be free under the liberals' terms.

Even the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) has become emboldened, petitioning the FCC to probe conservative talk radio.  Alex Nogales, NHMC's president, spoke at a recent news conference...“We are very respectful of the First Amendment, but the hateful rhetoric espoused by irresponsible radio talk show hosts needs to be addressed." 

Translation: The First Amendment should be abriged; minority groups can be criticized no longer by the "hateful right."

 
But who defines hate speech? Can it even be defined under the First Amendment?  It seems groups like the NHMC (and others) want to redefine what is - and what isn't -acceptable on our nation’s airwaves. 
 
Of course any speech can be highly offensive, but it must remain free. To set aside protected classes - free from criticism - is the first step toward tyranny.
 
Defining "hate speech" is inherently impossible. It presupposes what's in a person's heart. And where does it end? Does our Constitution guarantee the freedom from being offended?
 
Freedom of speech does not include freedom from offense. But it only becomes only hate speech when the radical left doesn't agree with it.
 
Recall the famous words of Voltaire: "I do not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
 
Indeed, Voltaire was correct; and so are committed talk radio hosts when they use THE TRUTH to expose the callous lies of these leftists, revealing their underlying goal to impose fascism upon an unsuspecting, ill-informed nation.
 
Hate speech is nothing other but a liberal construct - that there are a certain words and phrases that are indefensible; thus, should be subject to government regulation.
 
This is why liberals will go to no end to ban talk radio: It isn't about hate speech; it's about controlling what people THINK, rather than just defeating conservative ideas.
 
Liberals understand that is doesn't take long for traditional freedoms to be lost to "changing ideals." It takes but a generation or two for pop culture to steam roll tradition into oblivion. If the left can succeed at keeping competing ideologies (talk radio) out of the main stream,  then our concept of limited government gradually becomes as foreign as a second language.
 
Allowing government to determine what is "hate speech" or a "hate crime" is akin to dictatorship. Conservatives must realize that banning talk radio is this president's next priority. A tyrant like Obama will permit no opposition to stand in his way. 
 
America's economy can be rebuilt. Home prices will eventually go back up. Jobs will be created again. The stock market will find equilibrium and eventually stabilize.
 
But freedom of speech, once lost, may never be regained.

At what point, Revolt?

 

Petrified of Congress? Who isn't?

 

In all of our lifetimes - not since the threat of a Soviet atomic attack in the late 1950's - has the average US citizen lived his/her life in such overriding fear- in trepidation of our own Congress.

 

Can you think of anything more fright-inducing (politically) than cap 'n trade energy taxation, or government-controlled healthcare?

 

What could be more un-American, more unconstitutional (or more anti-competitive) than a useless tax on energy, or a welfare-supporting, wealth-transferring government insurance policy - just because our corrupt Congress wants it?

 

Who are these desperados anyway? Under which geological rock formation did these slimy reptiles emerge? And what can be done about them?

 

Such irony! Such disgrace! And such hubris! The 111th Congress has declared war on America's economy, and is taking no prisoners! 

 

(Quote) "In my many years I have come to a conclusion...That one useless man is a 
shame; two is a law firm; and three or more is a Congress.  John Adams (circa 1815).

 

(Quote) "No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is 
in session" - Mark Twain (1866)

 

Our constitutional Founders designed checks and balances as a safeguard - to limit power in any one branch of government. And the branch they feared most was the legislature.

 

Now the worst fears of the Founders have come to pass. 

 

On 9-12 we declared war on Islamic terrorists - but they only succeeded in destroying two skyscrapers.

 

While the enemy within -our Democratic Congress- has all but destroyed the entire US economy, starting from the day Speaker Nazi Pelosi grabbed the gavel, and declared "war" on America's $14 trillion annual economy- determined to whittle it down to its "proper size."

 

America's 111th Congress is moving at the speed of rampant socialism, out to rid taxpayers of their livelihoods, thus rendering them powerless to oppose them.

 

But where to begin? 

Initially, Pelosi and her Democratic allies in the House rammed through a massive, $787 billion dollar stimulus bill, without one Representative reading it.

Majority Leader Harry Reid forced it through the Senate, and anti-President Obama signed the travesty into law. To date, it has had no positive effect on the economy, and many economists predict grievous damage to the national debt over the long run.

Then the House passed a corrupt, bizarre, cap-and-trade law based solely on disputed "climate change" junk science, that will send energy prices soaring - costing the nation TRILLIONS of wasted dollars by 2020- and well beyond.

Again, not one Representative read the bill before it was voted on.

 

Congress now has both the young and old tossing & turning at night, worried about buying health insurance they do not either need, or WANT - all because of some marxist President's ideological whim.

 

Perhaps we should hire al-Quida to plant roadside bombs on Capitol Hill, before its too late: 

 

But all levity aside, the fundamental character of our 235 year old representative republic is about to be irreparably destroyed.

 

The actions of these mindless, far-left "progressive leaders" (closet communists)  represent the extreme antithesis of how the Founding Fathers wanted our country's legislature to operate.

 

Speaker Pelosi presents us with nothing less than irrational and nightmarish mob rule.

 

And on top of it all, ACORN may manage to steal the 2010 midterm elections, funded with 8 BILLION hidden dollars, courtesy of legislative amendments inserted by our greatest patriot, Barney Frank.

 

How much more will we take—how much more should we take—before we declare..."You've done ENOUGH harm!"

 

But the naive (e.g. the uninformed) still murmur in the dark, asking..."Why would  democrats do dis? Aren't dey da party of the workin' man? Why would congress pass laws to destroy our wunnerful country?

 

Well just read between the lines of your coloring book, simpleton.

 

The Capitol Hill democrats all march in lock fascist step-  they're plotting multi-decade control of all levers of government. But first - tax the rich to ruin, then kill the remaining economy; then once on their government breadlines, everyone's opposition quickly fades.

 

But not to worry; there's ready jobs available in Americorps- ACORN's new subdivision.

 

Just keep in mind Washington DC's first commandment..."Thou shalt not steal, until you've been elected to public office." Then it becomes acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens, and give it to the spongers- illegal immigrants, or those unmotivated to better their own lives.

 

Plus there's the gerrymandering of congressional districts (and biased media), generating  an entitled class of politicians, whose only attribute is pandering to every special interest group inside the Beltway - while skillfully lying to constituents back home.

 

Now add Congress' refusal to enforce election laws, then encourage ACORN's scheming fraudulent voter registrations: this equals a constant erosion of individual liberty, and the aggrandizement of power to those whose only virtue is either an ability to be elected - or the ability to corrupt those newly-elected.

 

And through all of this, our economy is being destroyed (e.g. bail-out money committed from all federal agencies now equals 24 TRILLION dollars) in order to create a failed, top-down economic system, benefiting the elite in government, while impoverishing everyone else.

 

"We the People" deserve who we vote for and elect. Congress’ average seat retention rate since 1955 is 95.4 PERCENT! By 2004, the retention rate stood at 96.3 percent. The dumbing-down of America via revisionist history - and lowered educational standards - is working beautifully.

 

Unfortunately, the common refrain is..."we keep re-electing these idiots."

 

But who are the real idiots?

 

The bulk of the American electorate has degenerated into idio-pathological stupidity. How else can we explain how Congress, with a 9% approval rating, is re-elected a 95% of the time. What could possibly be more imbecilic?

 

Basically, these democrats have a bulletproof re-election process, passed down from their unconscionable "ancestors."

 

All incumbents maintain an office (of propaganda) in home districts, staffed by liberal volunteers. But the incumbents are seldom around - out pocketing campaign funds from lobbyists; which buys airtime for the bi-annual media blitz.

 

Of course, they all enjoy a highly-supportive relationship with the local (liberal) newspaper, downplaying stories that profoundly impact constituent's lives (cap 'n trade), but printing front page stories about how local congressman Bandido is..."fighting for auto worker's pensions"...or..."is bringing home a $600,000 federal grant for park restoration," or some other insipid project, which creates zero jobs, but wields maximum PR effect.

 

Then - on the Sunday preceding every election - the local paper supports them with a ringing half-page endorsement in its editorial section.

 

Meanwhile, for the previous month on television, unrestricted, blatantly-negative campaign ads (mostly lies) are bought en-masse against any republican challenger, building up in intensity to Tuesday morning of election day.

 

Works every time. 

 

Now try these stats: Senate: As of 2008, of one hundred Senators, 39 (39%) have been re-elected for 18 yrs or more; and four, over 40 years. 

 

House: As of 2008, of 435 members, 143 (33%) were re-elected for fourteen years or more; and there were five others re-elected again over thirty-six years (18 consecutive terms). 

 

And the longer these sellouts are in office, the more of them run unopposed in future elections, since nobody will bother to challenge them. Unopposed House races have doubled in the last 20 years, from 40 to 80 seats. 

 

And the ever-increasing taxes we send to Washington basically assures we'll continue to fund our own economic undermining, courtesy of ..."The System."

 

Yep; just keep putting the same ol' liars back in Congress, where they can continue to get rich; then - as they get chauffeured to the bank - laugh about "all those stupid taxpayers in my home district."

 

But how much longer will America allow this to continue? We can do one of two things:

 

1) Shrug and say, "you can't fight city hall."

2) Organize a massive Washington tea party rally, ala Martin Luther King.

 

That's right all you patriots; ride busses together into DC on August 28th, the 46th anniversary of King's 1963 Freedom March on Washington, and declare; "We have a new dream...we will judge our congresspeople, not by the earmarks they deliver to our district, but by the content of their character!  No more dishonesty in our Halls of Congress!"

 

A nation whose people continually choose to forfeit honor in their nation's government, for the sake of earmarked projects in home districts, gets what it deserves- the most corrupt legislative body ever in world history.

Stop the tea parties - Start the boycott!

 
Hypothetical situation: Your child's school has announced it will no longer be issuing report cards. Yes, you heard correctly - your precious offspring will no longer BE GRADED for his/her performance at school!

But how would you react? Of course, you'd be astonished, outraged.

Would you not immediately call the principal, and inquire..."What the *!*&*#@% are you trying to do? RUIN my child’s education? If this insane idea isn't trashed at once, I'm removing him (her) immediately!"

 

But thanks to the leftists (who control our nation's schools), the insanity of no more letter grades has become reality. 

 

In Prospect Elementary School (Pelham, N.Y.) students will now receive "standards based" report cards- yet another liberal attempt to further destroy what’s left of our educational system.

 

This is all in favor of turning out a new (and lesser prepared) "Duh" Generation, with even more moronic "students" than those at the college level that exist now.

 

Instead of letter grades, Prospect Elementary's report cards will bear numbers, indicative of how students fare at specific skills, like “decoding strategies” (reading with comprehension), and “number sense operations" (arithmetic).

 

The top grade of "4", (brainchild) indicates a student is “meeting standards with distinction," while the lowest mark, "1", indicates the student (dolt) is NOT achieving New York State’s academic standards.

 

Translation: We don't want to discourage self esteem in our wonderful children; we can't be having "A" students running around, hurting the feelings of our "lower performers."

 

Educators (NEA liberals) profess the new system as a way for setting "clearer expectations." But many parents find it confusing, or worse - a clear and present danger to their child's motivation for learning.

 

Classroom teachers claim ..."this new approach will be more accurate, because it measures each student against a stated set of criteria, rather than grading on a curve, which compares members of a class with one another."

 

Step-by-step, these “education-based” leftists are slowly chipping away at the very foundation of our democracy-- an educated electorate.

 

First, it was the banning of teaching traditional American history in public schools. Now, they're taking away grades.

 

So what's next? Coloring books for the SAT? Paint-by-numbers for high school graduation exams?

 

Of course, we can't be "overstressing" our students!  Don't they already have enough to worry about, with global warming and the destruction of the environment? 

 

But is this not all key to the leftist strategy to divide our country along educational generations; and keeping both young & old ignorant of our nation’s politics? A plot not unlike any take over in some banana republic?

 

It’s a two-pronged attack to "ignorize" the entire country.

 

We've got leftists firmly in control of the schools (subverting the knowledge of the young), and the mainstream media in the grasp of liberals, obfuscating the truth from everyone else! 

 

Analyze the results of the last general election: Without those young, under-25 (imbecile) voters, Barack Obama would be back in Illinois, voting "present."  But because of ignorance, here he is in the Oval Office, brazenly attacking our Constitution from the left.

 

And what are conservatives on the right doing about it? They're holding tea parties, which basically amounts to "preaching to the choir." 

 

Sure, the tea parties are attracting attention- but not from where it's wanted:

 

Instead of sending "warnings" to moderate democrats-- slowing down Obama's leftist agenda in Congress- what the tea parties have accomplished is the exact OPPOSITE. 

Obama has turned the tables again: the only tea party message he's getting (from the Right) is "Hurry up on the Left (Congress) before November 2010." Our anti-president has cleverly discerned... it's "damn the tea parties...full speed ahead."

The result? Leftist overdrive:

 

First, it’s the Waxman-Markey bill. Next, the democrat's sneaky, back door manipulation to pass nationalized health care; Then it's green energy, followed by Obama's amnesty/immigration reform; plus takeover of the banks, and then Obama's expropriation of the auto industry. Next, it'll be Obama's plan to nationalize the energy industries, and destroy the coal companies.

 

Obama has put 'em all on fast forward, knowing that if he continues to be attacked from the Right, it only garners MORE support from his Left, as long as he has the majority on Capitol Hill.

 

Tea parties may be a "feel good" way of rebelling against tyranny; but why not hit back at the left where it really hurts? Take away the foul instrument of their absolutism-- attack the mainstream media!

 

ATTACK STRATEGY #1: Boycott your local newspaper

 

Call your editor; DEMAND to speak to him; (or get e-mail address); your message should state the following: "Dear Sir: Recently, the House was able to pass a law called cap and trade (Waxman-Markey bill). But your newspaper did not at all cover its calamitous outcome; it will soon raise my electric (utility) bills by at least 100-150%; but your publication only mentioned the bill would be "good for the environment, and reduce our dependency on foreign oil." This is all half-truth and rubbish!

 

I am demanding that- lest this measure pass in the Senate- your paper print the full story about its consequences within the next week; if not, I am canceling my subscription, and I shall be prepared to tell others of your callous censorship, and urge them to do likewise.

 

SIGNED (your name)

 

ATTACK STRATEGY #2: Community Organizing Against Liberals (COAL) 

 

Form COAL groups in your neighborhood, church or local civic organization. Establish an  internet blog (or discussion forum) focused on targeting the corrupt practices of ACORN.

 

Since Congress refuses to expose these leftist criminals, it's the duty of the right (COAL) to inform the public exactly how ACORN subverts elections, and will be acting as corrupt census takers- plus doing all they can to undermine our democratic way of life.

 

ACORN is supported by government funding, provided by equally corrupt members of Congress; and conservatives have only15 months to stop them from corrupting the 2010 midterm elections. 

 

Members of COAL work together to share information and strategies, (such as letters to the editor) and whatever lawful means that are most effective in their community (door-to-door communication). Join efforts with others. This must be a co-operative endeavor, and should be kept low key.

 

ATTACK STRATEGY #3: Target the democrats with the tag of "Un-Americanism"

 

Because of their liberal political bias, most of the news media has long been subservient to the Democrat Party. But since democrats have become leftist pawns of an un-American socialist-oriented federal government, why not fight back with calling (branding) these people for what they clearly are…"The Un-American party."

 

Why allow the left to negatively brand the Republicans as the "party of NO"? "Re-branding" democrats as the "Un-American party" will boil them into a stew of disarray, and put them on the defensive indefinitely. After all, can there be any more derogatory insult in politics than being called un-American? It will succeed superbly!

 

ATTACK STRATEGY #4: Nancy Pelosi "Wanted Posters"

 

The "Wanted" posters from the days of the old West succeeded in causing outlaws to stay hidden; if they showed up in ANY town, they were instantly recognized, then sent to jail- or they barely escaped with their lives. 

 

And who could think of anyone --other than Nancy Peolsi-- more deserving of the title of "outlaw of our Constitution"...and "Wanted for subversion of our democracy!"  Pelosi has gotten away with her dictatorial rule in the House long enough!

 

Since she assumed the mantle of House Speaker in January of '07, Pelosi is directly responsible for our high gasoline prices (she won't allow any domestic drilling measures to be voted on). She is also guilty of ramming through the budget-busting stimulus bill in the House, and was beyond instrumental in sneaking the calamitous passage of the Waxman-Markey travesty, which will eventually bankrupt our country.

 

Pelosi not only has usurped her Constitutional power as House Speaker, she now actually wields more political power in Washington than Obama himself.

 

So why not Pelosi "wanted" posters on every block? Why not signs in our yards? And why not "wanted" bumper stickers? Post her picture everywhere!  If the people from her district (in California) won't stop her, why should the rest of our nation be subject to her cold-blooded tyranny? She is a known liar, a diabolical manipulator, and as dangerous to the common welfare as any criminal who now walks the streets - seeking more victims.

 

ATTACK STRATEGY # 5: Boycotting the major news networks (NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC)

 

-Write (e-mail) into all the “alphabet” networks, informing them that if they continue to report only “half” the news, and continue to edit out all criticism of the Obama administration, they will only see their pitiful audience drop further.

 

CONCLUSION: Just as you would remove your child out of a school for not issuing report cards, its time to practice likewise with your media:

 

-Cancel your subscriptions to corrupted media publications (NY Times. Washington Post etc.)

 

-Where possible, patronize media sources that endeavor to provide balanced coverage of political events.

 

-Encourage every reader you know to cancel their subscriptions. Newspapers desperately need to show circulation numbers to their advertisers.

Just think of it all as “community organizing”.

Unplugging talk radio- the FCC's fascist plot for censorship

 

Here are two interesting quotes from none other than Thomas Jefferson:

 

(quote) "There is an enemy somewhere endeavoring to sow discord among us: To buy off one lie is to give a premium for the invention of others."

 

(quote) "There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, so contemptible as that which permits one to tell a lie."

 

 Here is yet another --and MORE interesting-- quote from Joseph Goebbels (Hitler's fabled "communications" director):

 

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it,  people will eventually come to believe it...The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the consequences of the lie...Thus, it becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent... for the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” (circa 1936)

 

Now let's take a qoute from Barack Obama, as he directly addresses the Iranian government for the first time, after a day of violence in Iran:

 

(quote) "We call on the Iranian government to stop all violent and unjust actions against its own people. The universal rights to assembly and FREE SPEECH must be respected, and the United States stands with all who seek to exercise those rights."

 

But what does all this have to do with talk radio? Simple; Obama intends to kill freedom over the public air waves-- a right he staunchly supports in Iran. But at home? Well, that's quite another story. 

 

Obama makes noble statements projecting First Amendment rights to the Iranians; but at the same time, he launches a covert plot to crush all political dissent in America. Make no mistake. Conservative talk radio is now an endangered species.

 

On Feb 18, 2009, Obama himself stated, (quote) "I do not believe the Fairness Doctrine should be re-instated.” But it's what he DIDN"T say that portends his ominous trap.
 
Having watched Obama rise through the ranks in Illinois, he always prefers to eliminate competition whenever possible. So now, as President, why would it be any different?

 

Localism will be Obama's contrivance to rid his world of the last bastion of political dissension...Limbaugh, Hannity, and the other mainstays of conservative talk radio.

 

If Obama truly wanted "fairness" it would also apply to TV, newspapers, and news magazines. But all of these mediums are overwhelmingly liberal, serving the big-government, freedom-killing agenda of Obama and his cadre of leftists in Congress.

 

Now, with Mr. Obama's appointment of his double-talking, Harvard law school buddy, Julius Genachowski as new head of the FCC, Obama has no doubt anointed him as another star addition to the democratic liars' club-- the ability to state one thing but imply another.

 

Recently, Mr. Genachowski told  Kay B. Hutchinson-- a member of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee-- (quote) "No, Senator, I don’t support re-instatement of the Fairness Doctrine"...."I feel strongly about the First Amendment, and I don’t think the FCC should be involved in censorship of content-based limiting of political speech.”

 

Conservatives brace yourselves-- it's all a decoy; an ambush.

Genachowski's "denial" is yet another Trojan horse concealing the evil of Obammunism. His
 repudiation of the Fairness Doctrine is seen as proof positive that the FCC intends to sneak it in under the innocuous-sounding name of "localism."

 

If "right-wing" talk radio is a cancer for these liberals, localism is their form of "chemo-therapy".

 

Obama knows if censorship is disguised as something other than the Fairness Doctrine, then he can champion it without changing his position. By stating his "opposition" to the "Doctrine", Obama's leftist minions will do the dirty work-- giving Mr. Obama the appearance of being "Mr. Forthright."

 

And having taught Constitutional law, Obama knows localism cannot easily be challenged by the Supreme Court. So now, the handwriting of censorship is on the wall-- only it's been written with invisible ink:

 

POINT- Obama's continual references about how Fox News won't give him "a fair shake"

 

POINT - Obama's inference that people should not pay attention (listen) to Rush Limbaugh

 

POINT-- on the campaign trail last year, his repeated references to Sean Hanitty

 

Obama's latest big lie (through Genachowski) is akin to waving a white flag to the Republicans, but all the while he digs a tunnel to subvert them politically. Barack Obama is about fighting dirty, preferring to "clear the field" of competition (dissent) whenever possible; and lying and doublespeak have been his most effective strategems.

 

Once anyone within the Obama administration vows something they absolutely will NOT do, rest assured that it's exactly the course of action they've planned. And Genachowski is no different; as head of the FCC, he'll lie to no end to support what Obama wants-- absolute control of the mainstream media.

 

Mr. Obama is a Saul Alinsky student-- the end justifies the means; hence, the plot will be couched within his seemingly benign support for "community programming" on local radio stations. 

 

To date, Mr.Obama has been mum on localism. But his silence is the "tipoff": he'll soon coyly announce..."I support it." Obama knows better than to take on Rush Limbaugh headlong with his 22 million strong audience-- the courts wouldn’t uphold it.

 

Localism applies only to radio, and the stations/programs that are political in nature. This leaves the bulk of FM programming out of the equation.
 
However, conservative airtime is the much larger percentage of AM political commentary. Hence, Obama (and his sneaky FCC chairman) are going to try and go a different route, but achieving the same end result:

 

-The FCC will start a movement (behind the scenes) to start a “Fairness in Ownership Doctrine"- making a "case" for minorities to own radio stations, and staging it as a "community concern."

 

--The FCC will denounce those "corporate power elites" that have acquired a monopoly of talk radio outlets across the country over the last 16 years (i.e. Clear Channel & CBS). 
 
After the above "groundwork", the process of censorship will be introduced in stages through a series of Federal Communication Commission "decrees:"

 

Stage 1) an entity can only own 1-2 stations; thus, Clear Channel and CBS will be forced to sell all their radio outlets on the "cheap."

 

Stage 2) the "monopoly" break-up will result in stations being sold to minority owners at bargain prices. Obama-connected 'friends" will constitute the mainstay of the new ownership

 

Stage 3) local-broadcast "advisory boards" (ACORN) will be formed to hold radio owners responsible to uphold "opposing opinions" OR, their broadcast licences will not be renewed. (Obama will claim he has no control over what local communities do)

 

Stage 4) more diversity (localism) program will be instituted-- a requirement to provide "X" hours of local programming

 

Stage 5) leftists groups (Media Matters) will a file a blizzard of anti-localism "complaints" against all remaining conservative-owned stations

 

Stage 6) the final result-- veiled censorship. Conservative stations -- knowing they'll go broke defending all these "complaints" in court-- find it cheaper to broadcast music/sports than to keep Limbaugh, Hannity, et al. on the air

 

Obama abhors dissent; he will waste no time in placing localism into action. It'll soon be bye-bye to your favorite talk radio shows-- there will no longer be a way to hear the truth.

 

But Obama will couch it all in noble phrases, declaring: "It's about progressing to a more egalitarian society"...and..."Divisive, hateful, irresponsible speech over the public airways is unacceptable; therefore, is not protected by the First Amendment."

 

Before we know it, talk radio will vanish, and with it, our ability to speak out against Obama's bold tyranny, as he fully intends to shut down ALL political opposition... PERIOD!  

 

And once talk radio disappears, the ability to post our thoughts and opinions over the Internet will be the next freedom taken from us in the same underhanded manner.

 

Independents, Republicans, Conservatives; we must unite and publicly speak out against these egregious tactics!

 

If we choose not to oppose the assault these insidious leftists have declared upon our Constitution, then we deserve the very tyrrany they seek to impose upon us.

 

Just keep in mind this ominous reminder from the Nazi fanatic-- Joseph Goebbels..."truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

The "Haunting"...why the ghost of Reagan won't let go.


Franklin Delano Roosevelt...John Fitzgerald Kennedy...Ronald Wilson Reagan.

Major political parties always outlive their individual leaders and partisans. But for party heroes, the past is never dead. So for most Republicans, Ronald Reagan's philosophy is revered as the last word in conservative theory of government.
 
But nowadays, Mr. Reagan may be TOO revered, and his sage wisdom may actually be a party flaw--the underlying reason WHY the Republicans keep getting grossly outsmarted by the political cunning of the Democrats.
 
For many on the left, it's hard to comprehend why the neo-cons deify Reagan, and act as if he were the Supreme Being incarnate. But for the right, Reagan will always considered the greatest president of the 20th century-- or better.
 
But to call his wisdom FLAWED? The Great Communicator?
 
Reagan, unlike the Pope, was not infallible. But don't try to convince the average Republican Reagan worshipper--you'll get nothing but a heated argument.
 
The pros vs. cons of the Reagan legacy abound:
 
The hostage crisis ended during the first day of his presidency, only because the Iranians didn't want credit to fall to Carter. And Mr. Reagan sold the arms that ultimately are now being used against Coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
 
And the primary claim for Reagan’s greatness—that he “won” the Cold War—seems exaggerated. The Cold War was won by every President, from Truman through Reagan, not to mention Lech Walesa and his Polish longshoremen. All contributed to the long, hard 4-decade effort of grinding down the Soviet Union from 1945 to 1985.
 
An Evil Empire does not fall in a day.
 
Reagan hugely boosted government spending. He signed every single spending bill that came across his desk-- all with a big smile on his face. He doubled the entire pre-existing national debt in a single term, while insisting all the time that revenues would grow to cover it... which they never did.
 
It was his deficit spending that boosted the economy, not so much the tax cuts.

The problem is that ANY president has an incentive to incur huge deficits to boost the economy. We give Reagan credit for the gains in the 80's economy, but when the bill came due for the debt, Reagan was out of office and it eventually grew to be another president's problem-- William Jefferson Clinton.
 
The supposedly sterling economic record of the Reagan eighties was in fact bracketed by a deep recession and a stock market crash, while the go-go years in between were fueled by record peacetime deficits that his successors labored for years to make up—contradicting nearly everything Reagan claimed to stand for before taking office.

But on the other hand:

Ronald Reagan was a beacon, not unlike Lady Liberty, standing at the gateway to a morning in America...an America that had yet to be its best.

There is the Ronald Reagan who was our President for eight years-- some fairly critical ones at that. Reagan rescued America from the destruction of Carter: a terrible economy... worldwide challenges....a diminished standing abroad... a neglected military, and a disheartened population.

His tax cutting, budget slashing, laissez-faire strategy known as Reaganomics became extremely popular as the U.S. economy recovered from the stagflation and high interest and unemployment rates brought on by the Carter administration.
 
Reagan was an expert at delegating. He didn't let himself get bogged down in the details of governing, and never tried to exceed his constitutional authority. He was skillfull at what a chief executive must be able to do: hire & fire people-- the right people--and let 'em know WHO'S BOSS.
 
He achieved his goal of a 600-ship navy. He re-established the legitimacy of American military power around the world, thwarting a Cuban invasion of Grenada.

Reagan literally scared the Iranians into releasing our hostages-- which they did the very day he was first inaugurated.
 
He shrewdly grasped the historic geo-political opportunity brought about by Mikhail Gorbachev's rise to power in the Soviet Union, which brought the final end to the Cold War. The Berlin Wall fell because of Ronald Reagan, and eastern Europe once again saw the sunlight of freedom.

Thanks to President Reagan, we got 25 consecutive years of prosperity, and the American dream was there for all Americans who were willing to WORK for it.

Mr. Reagan was a secret admirer and imitator of perhaps the greatest democrat-- John F. Kennedy-- who's model to boost defense spending, slash all taxes, and give investment tax credits to businesses would make Kennedy today seem more like a Republican right winger rather than from the party of the democrats, now made up of radical leftists who control Washington.

Finally, the Reagan revolution sought to limit constitutional government, because he understood that to achieve true liberty, government should be smaller. This was his greatest legacy-- and ironically, the remnants of this philosophy have been why the Republicans are now losing America.
 
The greatest damage by the ghost of Reagan was his legacy statement--"getting government off our backs"...and..."government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem."

But to get the government off our backs, or out of our lives? Nowadays? Sorry Republicans, that's patently absurd...impossible. Since the days of Reagan, the government now intrudes into nearly every aspect of our lives!

So wise up ye downcast Republicans, and show a little Reagan-esue resourcefulness! You must concentrate on WINNING ELECTIONS, and gaining CONTROL of THE GOVERNMENT --that's to be your true objective.

Like the old saying goes about goals-- how can you get there if you don't know where you're going? And right now, the Republicans haven't a clue. instead of focusing on controlling Washington, the GOP keeps focusing on Reagan.

Ironically they've done superbly in propping him up as a party saint; but if alive today, Ronald Reagan would be ashamed of what the party has become.
 
If we had the Gipper around today to lead us out of this mess, his reminder that it's morning in America means that for all you lost wandering Republicans souls --its time to  WAKE UP-- grasp onto the issues that will win the next election:

- wake up that our schools are indoctrinating, not educating, an issue that's there for the taking
-wake up that the media has manipulated the democrats into power, and shields their subtle tyranny from the public
-wake up and alert America about ACORN's covert damage to our elections--and ultimately-- our democracy
-wake up to the legislation authored by the democrats that congressional Republicans don't even bother TO READ
-wake up to the fact that Obama's popularity is manufactured and is not for real; people are in fear for their country
-wake up and alarm the populace about the treasonous, dangerous democratic deficit spending
-wake up to the fact that government is about to gain control of EVERY aspect of our lives, from health care, to how many miles we can drive and in what type of cars it shall be

So here are your instructions:

Get organized on the internet. Mimic the success of the Obama campaign for 2010 and 2012.

Ronald Reagan is the PAST--start focusing on the future. Wake up to who are your true leaders and motivators: Michelle Bachmann in the House, and Sarah Palin for the Senate in 2010. And Romney & Paul for 2012. It's the economy stupid. It's always the economy!

Forget about Steele and Limbaugh; they are two opposite extremes.

Go after ACORN; form CAUSE groups (Citizens Against UnAmerican Socialist Extremes) to countermand ACORN's marxist mob insurrection against our democracy.

Explain how tax cuts work, not just keep pushing them.

Attack government health care--explain how it has ruined lives and destroyed the overall integrity of the medical system in every other country that's adopted it.

Explain the economic hardship caused by the democrats' opposition to drilling, and why global warming is the biggest lie known to mankind.

Stand up for LEGAL immigration and against drivers' licenses for illegal aliens --it will only lead to eventual amnesty and granting of citizenship, and 30 million permanent votes for the democrats!

Gin up some catchy slogans for yard signs and bumper stickers:

"What have you done lately... outside of waiting by your mailbox for your Obama check?"
 
"The democrats are the party of the three L's...liberals, liars, and leeches"

And the most relevant slogan of all..." When are we GOING TO LISTEN TO RON PAUL, and start supporting the dollar?

The Republicans could try the emotional approach: "How sad it is to see how far the Presidency has fallen... from the great Ronald Reagan, to the socialist-marxist Barack Hussein Obama, who slavishly follows far left ideology and insults our allies.'

Appoint a "spokes group"--the American Legion--call out CBS-NBC -ABC -CNN on their treasonous omission of what Obama is doing to veterans and our military--and make an issue out of it all:

-stand on the capitol steps
-appoint volunteers and go door to door
-use the congressional franking privilege to not send out fundraising letters- but alarmist warnings
-comprise a Thomas Paine-like mailer of the "New Common Sense for Americans", and focus it on the devastation of deficit spending, using language and analogies that people understand (i.e. taking out a new credit card to make the monthly minimum payments for the maxed-out high interest others that are piling up).

Keep up the tea parties, and let them be themed by Ms. Bachman and Palin... a "Love America, hate government" tour.

And remember, you can't build the Republican party up by simply knocking the other party down. The only way Republicans can retake control of government is not only democratic policies to be attacked, but truly bold ideas to be proposed.

Just uttering the phrase "tax cuts" won't win elections anytime soon.

The GOP must be bold or prepare to be lost in the wilderness for years to come, because presently, there are no true Republicans in the limelight to save us from the destruction of Obama.

And time is of the essence.

Haw-haw; Obama gets the last laugh on America again!


William Joyce, the infamous British traitor, was the German counterpart to Tokyo Rose during World War II.
 
He was nick-named Lord Haw-Haw by the English press; and from Oct 1939 to April 1945, his nightly broadcasts (originating from Hamburg) would rail against Winston Churchill, and supplied England with a endless line of propangandized stories of Nazi superiority, and the sheer futility of Allied efforts to defeat them.
 
So it wasn't long before Lord Haw-Haw (originally from Ireland) became a figure of fascination and hate during the long six years of the war.

Through his nightly broadcasts, Lord Haw-Haw attempted to discourage and demoralize American troops and the British population within radio listening range. Many found the broadcasts so absurd (hence the name Lord Haw-Haw) that they were seen as a way of relieving the tedium of life in Britain during the war.

Stories by Joyce sought to unnerve the British public. He often revealed information which was censored, and could only have been known via Germany's spy machine in Britain. As a result, Allied troops and British civilians listened to Lord Haw-Haw's broadcasts with great curiosity in spite of the infuriating content and grievous exaggerations.

Lord Haw Haw had a widespread audience (estimated at a peak 9 million) even if the majority of what he said was nonsense. Joyce was also occasionally credited with broadcasts that would alter Allied battle strategy-- such was his reputation at the time.

Finally, at the end of the war, he was arrested by British Military Police, taken to London and found guilty of treason, then hanged in 1946.

But now, the Lord Haw Haw of the Whitehouse, Barack Obama, and his "straight man",  Tim Geithner (Treasury Secretary) are now broadcasting a new battle strategy in their war on capitalism: they’ve decided to use their cover from the AIG furor and 'morph' the tempest into a juicier target--executive pay--a cancer upon socialism.

And like any cancer, Dr. Obam-o & staff will be treating the executive pay "problem" with a large dose of Marxism.

Executive pay is definitely not the reason for the world's economic mess-- and Obama knows it; but his Politburo (crisis management team) senses a huge opportunity and they're certainly not given to passing it up.

A recent New York Times press release revealed how the Obama "attack plan" on executive pay would work: (quote)..."The new rules will cover ALL financial institutions, including those not now getting federal bailout money, and could also be applied "more broadly" to publicly traded companies, which already report about some executive pay practices to the SEC"…"A central aspect of the plan would give the government greater authority to take over and resolve problems at large ‘troubled’ companies that are unregulated by Washington."

Translation: We’ve had a minimum wage law for years. Now the Obama administration senses an opening -- a MAXIMUM wage law.

Da! Is good policy for Amerika , eh Komrades?

So after placing salary restrictions on any remaining banks, Wall Street firms, and other major corporations, who’s next? Those remaining who "make too much" and "have more than they need", such as anyone with an income greater than 250K? Da!

And what would stop the DC marxist monsters from changing the rules, and going after pre-existing 401 K's, and rescinding the tax-free, after age-59 cash distributions? This new regulatory threat will put a chilling effect on small business SEP investments, and will slash the number of Americans who open Roth IRA's, because of fear of double taxation.

Yes indeed, Lord Haw Haw Obama will laugh away as he assaults working Americans from all sides-- a relentless barrage upon the wealth of upper income people-- as he merrily tranfers it to the leeches of society who will vote him a second term.

But now-now America, let’s not complain too much. Just remember last fall. Mr. Obama campaigned as a moderate, and told America... "My lack of executive experience doesn't matter."

And when it comes to lacking experience, Barack Obama leaps forward with shining credentials-- he’s never managed anything in the private sector-- not so much as even a paper route.

And no one in Obama cabinet, nor in his circle of advisors (or any of his czars) has any business experience in the private sector.  They're all ex-bureaucrats, lawyers, teachers & ex-politicians of similar ilk, all of whom share his marxist disdain for capitalism and free markets.

The result? None of them –not one--have a clue about what to do about the banking crisis, let alone the economy in general.

So Obama is basically 'winging it', incapable of coming up with any ideas, and going from one crisis to the next relying on his political instincts, his teleprompter, and of course...his sense of "gallows humor."

Hardy har everyone--especially for all those 52.7 % who voted for the anti-president.

And while Obama bashes away at the private sector, he reacts to crises by simply keeping up his poll numbers--his surefire way to solve things.

So he goes on ESPN to draw up his NCAA brackets--a grave priority of national concern. He goes on the "Tonite Show" and cracks sarcastic jokes. He goes to Camp David to shoot some hoops; he goes on "60 Minutes" and laughs off questions about the crisis of the economy.

Obama visits elementary schools; he travels back ‘n forth to Chicago; he parties every Wednesday night in the Whitehouse with the stars.  He flies around on Air Force One, acting like a college freshmen away from home for the first time-- the big man on the DC campus with national credit card in hand.

Meanwhile, he’s spending the nation towards catastrophe and yuks it up--calling it necessary to “fight the economic missteps of the past 8 years.”

But all the while, he tells people…”I HAVE JUDGMENT.”

Examples of Obama's sound presidential judgment abound:

Example #1: barely two weeks ago, he was telling everyone "it was the worst crisis since the Depression." But now, seeing his poll numbers drop, Obama claims "the economy is FUN-damentally sound". Um-hmm. Very sound indeed.

Example #2:  Barack's recent proposal for taxing Americans' workplace health benefits,
only to do an about-face after the virulent wave of unpopularity that quickly ensued.

Example #3: Closing Gitmo and releasing the prisoners, echoing the foolish Carter Marielito debacle of 1980, where thousands of violent murderers were unleashed upon the U.S.

Example #4: deficit spending trillions, similar to paying off one credit card with a new higher interest credit card-- and calling it "sound economic policy".

The new Congressional Budget Office predicts Obama's budget will produce $9.3 trillion worth of red ink over 2010-2019. That's $2.3 trillion WORSE than the administration predicted in its budget just last month.

Worst of all, CBO says the deficit under Obama's policies would never go below 4 percent of the size of the economy-- figures that are unsustainable. By the end of the decade, the deficit would exceed 5 percent of gross domestic product-- a dangerously high level--involving wild federal spending programs, and trillions of dollars of debt that will be placed on our families for generations to come.

Example #5: no new domestic drilling, while we'll send OPEC an estimated $3/4 trillion in badly needed U.S. capital this year, perhaps the most insanely ludicrous energy policy of any nation on earth!

And instead of tax cuts for those who create jobs, our anti-president will tax them more onerously, further dragging down the economy. Obama's plan is to increase taxes by more than $1 trillion in the middle of an economic crisis.

And how much more of Obama's hilariously sound judgment can we take? It's only a matter of time before it all blows up into a protracted recession, hyperinflation, or a second depression, or worse-- he blunders us into a flash Mideast war.

But the best part of Obama's judgment? He never takes the blame for anything; always some excuse, but always an explanation.

As Abe Lincoln once said... "you can't fool all the people all of the time". But Mr. Lincoln never figured that some day, there'd be an Obama to come upon the American political horizon, a man who absolutely, positively, is the most clever American politician EVER.

And the Great Distractor's judgement is absolutely bulletproof when it comes to mastering marxist tactic number one--creating a common enemy.

Last fall, Obama had America literally frothing at the mouth with President Bush. And now, the new Obama strawmen are the AIG executives.

And no matter how dire his circumstance, Lord Obama always miraculuosly escapes, and gets the last laugh on the voters, who always are eager to swallow his political bait.
 
And here's a cool "for instance"-- ACORN is behind all the ‘protests’ at the AIG homes! How's that for a shocker? And who else besides the Great Distractor could have come up with such an ingenious scheme of having ACORN operatives call all the talk shows, and mass e-mail their congress people about how "OUTRAGED" they were at the AIG bonuses.

And it worked. Even the congressional Republicans fell for the ruse. And the media ran with it.

So think about it; what average American would take the time to fabricate "homemade" signs and march downtown in protest against AIG? Or who would actually pay their hard earned money (plus time) to go on bus tours in posh Connecticut suburbs to sight-see and rail against the AIG executives' lavish homes?

What do people expect... that AIG execs prefer public housing? Maybe after Congress & Obama get done with them, they'll be eligible to apply for section 8.
 
Liberal democrats always take satisfaction in punishing achievers and rewarding the leeches, as if making rich people poorer will spark the economy.

Yup...we swallowed the bait again. Obama is laughing, ACORN is flourishing, and democracy is languishing, as we continue to march in lockstep with a leftist Congress, and follow our anti-president into his utopia of marxist oblivion.

Driving the Constitution to extinction? Obama makes another hard left.


Remember the good ole days of last year, when Barack Obama was campaigning for president? America's hopes were soaring. Mr. Obama's oratory was uplifting and inspirational. The tenor of his voice, and his manner of delivery were sensational. Rock star-sized crowds greeted him everywhere.

And while he ran for President, Obama earnestly promised to avoid the rancor and pitfalls of George Bush, and set new and higher standards for bipartisanship in many areas, including judicial nominations.

Well sorry Charlie--that was then. Chief Obama continues sending up more leftist smoke signals now, this time in the form of his first federal appellate nominee, Judge David Hamilton-- a radical ACLU liberal and long-time Democratic political player-- while portraying Hamilton as some "middle of the road" choice for Chicago's 7th district circuit court.

And bipartisanship? Choosing the leftist Hamilton seems more like "one-upsmanship".

Hamilton was originally a Clinton Indiana District Court appointee in '94, and has since gone on to become a known ACORN operative, serving as a fundraiser and longtime contributor.

Yup... middle of the road... all the way. A real bipartisan choice indeed.

Remember jury nullification? No? Well, you'll soon be hearing that term tossed around more and more as Obama continues to nominate these so called "middle of the road" radical leftist appointees to our courts. Just remember Judge Ito (a leftist) and the O.J. case, and you'll have an idea of what jury nullification can actually due to undermine the integrity of America's judicial system, and how it will embolden the young criminals of the future.

Leftist liberal judges always rule in favor of 'fairness' and against justice. It's a mindset that cannot be altered.

And remember, these federal court appointments are for life, and could spell the death of conservative principles in America for at least the next 2 or 3 decades.

Leftist judges historically have legislated from the bench, choosing to "rewrite" the Constitution as they see fit, trampling the wishes of our Founders, and destroying the moral and cultural values of our nation to the point of no return.

Pick out any past controversial decision: be it Roe vs. Wade, mandatory school bussing; setting criminals free because of Miranda violations, etc. These decisions were all from leftist jurists who sought to destroy the basic tenets of the Constitution, and interpret it as a "living document"--all under the liberal doctrine of fairness.

So justice be damned-- full speed ahead with increased affirmative action rulings, pro-environmental anti-business rulings, and supporting of gay rights, same sex marriages, and expanded women's and minority group rights in the workplace-- etcetera ad nauseum.

And with anti-President Obama in the Whitehouse for the next 4 years, get ready for the next leftist judicial onslaught upon our culture and freedoms.

Despite all evidence to the contrary, Obama is sticking to his 'guns', and attempting to shoot down any conservative doubts about Hamilton--his first pick; (quote) "Judge Hamilton has a long and impressive record of service, and a history of handing down fair and judicious decisions" Mr. Obama said (tongue in cheek).

Fair and judicious decisions? Sure.

If you count banning public prayer, and coddling to sex offenders as fair and judicious, then you might be in agreement with Mr. Obama and his definition of a "moderate" for the federal bench.

EXAMPLE: Judge Hamilton is infamous for two particular rulings, both of which struck down actions of conservatives in the Indiana legislature. In 2005, he ruled that the legislature was prohibited from beginning its sessions with "overtly Christian" prayers-- a ballyhooed decision that drew widespread criticism in the legislature and across the state.

So according to Judge Hamilton, what was the legislature supposed to do? Begin their sessions with atheist prayers...or agnostic prayers? Or perhaps, a pagan ritual? It was typical liberal 'anti-traditionalism'-- just what you'd expect from the first Obama judicial nominee.

On appeal, a panel of the Seventh Circuit dismissed Hamilton's insipid ruling, saying that... "the people in the legislature had not been harmed by the prayers".

Then 3 years later, it was more leftist coddling by Hamilton.

In 2008, he struck down as "unconstitutional" an amendment to Indiana state law requiring convicted sex offenders to provide local authorities with personal information (such as e-mail addresses). Judge Hamilton ruled..."the amendment cut into the heart of a person’s right to privacy in his home".
 
So basically, Hamilton stands for guarding the right for sex criminals to continue to prey upon young adolescents on the internet-- in the name of privacy.

Nice job judge. We're looking forward to having you serve.

Predictably, in a White House press briefing, Robert Gibbs sought to clear up "any doubts" as to whether the President was sticking with his "bipartisan" standard for evaluating judicial nominees that he had articulated on the campaign trail.

Gibbs described Hamilton as... "a careful judge who follows the law and also has shown 'empathy' for real people with real problems"...and..."President Obama is sending a signal with his first judicial pick that he will consult with Republicans in the Senate."

The Obama administration's propaganda machine keeps churning out an unending stream of cover stories for their socio-marxist takeover of all 3 government branches, as they cleverly continue to undermine the checks and balances our Founders have had in place for the last 235 years.

And along those lines, in a recent New York Times press release: "Judge Hamilton is "eminently qualified" to rule "fairly and impartially" on the federal bench"...and..."Judge Hamilton graduated from Yale Law School before serving as a law clerk to Judge Richard D. Cudahy of the Seventh Circuit, who is generally viewed as a liberal jurist."
 
Translation: Hamilton graduated from the radical leftist factory Yale, then was further indoctrinated to the left as a legal apprentice by another pro-left sittting judge (Cudahy).
 
And here's something that you'll never read in some fluffy, poofy, and pro-liberally censored press release: Hamilton is a staunch ACORN operative, who will rule for the democratic left every time!

Hamilton has a history as a hard-left political activist, and his choice signals that Obama intends to push extreme liberals onto the bench, and politicize the courts as we've never seen before.

Hamilton was a fundraiser for ACORN (nice ACORN payback, Mr. anti-President) and served as vice president for litigation and board member of the Indiana ACLU.

So how's that for bipartisanship? Hamilton is about as moderate as the American Communist party.

And with the coming Obama tsunami of leftist federal judicial appointments, in future appeal cases, look for the left to prevail every time. This means that in any disputed election recounts, or business lawsuits involving the environment, or "minority" or alien employee rights, or Catholic hospitals and doctors unwilling to perform abortions, or union contract disputes, etc.--all these will be decided for the left.

It's all just what you'd expect from our anti-president, Barack H. Obama, who with his one-by-one parade of endless leftist federal judges in place, they'll be carrying out his tacit declaration of war upon the Constitution, and wreak liberal havoc on America for a generation to come.

Boy Scouts to Brown Shirts? Yes we can!


Remember the Hitler Youth? It was not just a German version of the Boy Scouts.
 
As early as 1934, Hitler sought to indoctrinate Germany's young to perpetuate the "1,000 year Reich," emphasizing activism, physical training, NAZI ideology (especially nationalism) and absolute obedience to Hitler and his NAZI Party.
 
The indoctrination of children in National Socialist ideology was a key goal of Hitler. He demanded that membership be made compulsory.

Seig Heil! Long live the Feuhrer!
 
And once the Feuhrer (Hitler) assumed control over the German state, he used the government to make the Hitler Youth into an all-encompassing movement, realizing that total indoctrination of young Germans was of critical importance to the long-term existence of the Reich-- which lasted only until 1945-- far short of a thousand years.

But thankfully, one need not any longer travel to South America to hunt down the remnants of the Nazis-- they're alive and well in Washington D.C-- the radical House Democrats of the 111th Congress.

Seig Heil (again).

Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D- NY) is sponsoring a bill, with 37 co-sponsors (aka co-conspirators), calling for Congress..."to establish the NCCC " (National Commission on Civic Service) and..."provide recommendations to Congress on improving opportunities for individuals to VOLUNTEER, or perform national service."

Among needs to be met under the NCCC program: infrastructure improvement; environmental and energy conservation; urban and rural development, and (ominously) "emergency" disaster relief.

So it's goodbye, National Guard, and hello, NCCC.

The official title of this soviet-style mandate is "The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act." But predictably, its Stalinist sponsors have propagandized the name by calling it the "Give Act" -- and it is anything but giving.

Yes, the H.R. 1388 bill, the so-called "GIVE Act" makes "volunteerism" mandatory. And according to language contained within H.R. 1388...“the Director determines the "appropriate uniforms”.

Appropriate uniforms? Seig Heil! Don't forget the armbands.

And who'll be named this so-called Director? And how will he (she) be chosen-- by "party loyalty"?

And by being mandatory then it isn't volunteering, is it? It's involuntary servitude for 3 years. Much of the bill sounds more like it's creating something analogous to Hitler's creation--the Obama Youth Corps-- only these so-called ‘volunteers’ shall be called, ahem-ahem, the “National Civilian Community Corps.”

And it's no better than a draft.

Obama’s plan is as nefarious as it is genius: gut the purpose for the national guard, create a new "youth" army, and get your own cadre of SS (secret service) uniform-wearing guards in the process. These are the next priorities Obama will attempt to stash away into his Fascist-Marxist basket of “change”.

Basically, the congressional proponents of the "Give bill" exhort its passage by proclaiming... "National and community service can help make Americans part of the solution to get our country through this economic crisis."

National and community service? What happened to the Boy Scouts? And what's to become of the Red Cross?

Is this the "well-funded as the military" organization Obama kept talking about during his campaign?

Basically this "give act" will take away options that our young people have always had, forcing them to forgo other possibilities (employment, travel, educational) in lieu of "volunteering" for Obama's brown-shirtist paramilitary force, supposedly in charge of intervening in "emergencies".

And WHO determines what are "emergencies"-- handing out "information" at local polling places during election time? Could that be considered an emergency?

Hope ACORN doesn't get jealous.
 
Obama can call any of his programs anything he wants, but they all come down to him doing everything he can to create a nationalist socialist (Nazi) atmosphere; and he's hoping to accomplish all this before the 2012 elections, as he seeks some excuse (economic crisis) to get rid of the Constitutional restraints he views as “quaint.”

This plan is a cover for Obama's intentions to construct his 'glorious utopia' before any Congressional opponents can mount an effective counter. In other words, he’s going at 'warp speed' to remake this country into a national socialist party nation, with more emphasis on "socialist" and less on party.

No one in America, especially our youth, is accustomed to being controlled. But anti-president Obama is the biggest control freak since Saddam; only instead of a Baathist in charge, it's Obama at large!

So what's next, a mandatory act of Congress-- H.R. 1389: "We Revere Barack"-- to erect pictures and statues of our savior in all prominent public places? Maybe it'll be part of the second stimulus bill. It would certainly create a lot of inner city jobs, and remind everyone of who's making it all possible-- Obama-- our new Feuhrer! SEIG HEIL.
 
And like the Hitler Youth, this is also beginning rather innocently, using Marxist-style deceptive language (‘volunteerism’ and ‘give’) to describe what will undoubtedly become a mandatory form of servitude, and recruitment into the Obamian army.
 
This is the equivalent of brown shirts and the “Arbeit Macht Frei”,” the words above the gates of Auschwitz--“work will set you free”.

And once the government has the right to require individuals to give 3 years under the guise of “volunteer” service, are we all then heading toward what... a fourth reich?

In order for Obama to fashion his own personal Socialist Brownshirt Army - and force  American youth into a controlling arm of government-- he must first destroy those institutions standing in his way: the free market, corporations, small business, then health care and the existing military.
 
But according to the Constitution, we already HAVE a civilian defense force... it’s called the MILITIA (national guard).

But Obama is having none of that. His treasonous pals in Congress plan to cut the defense budget 25% (the economic crisis thing) and make this Civilian Security Force "as powerful and as well funded as the military".

And for what? His "Elite SS"? His domestic secret police force?
 
Finally, Obama will complete his sneaky, back-door demagoguery by undermining the 2nd Amendment (disarmament via "ammunition control"); and in conjunction with his youthful brown shirts, Barack will celebrate his Hitlerian triumph - the US of A --United Socialists of America...the 100 year 4th Reich.

Seig Obama! Yes we can!

War vs. peace-- the Republicans under fire


War? It's hell- literally! And throughout history, in all the annals of warfare, there has never been a weapon so feared or as devastating for its time as the 6th century development of "Greek Fire"...a hellish weapon that to this day remains a mystery of history.
 
Greek Fire was thought to be an ancient mixture of sulfur, petroleum and "pitch" (asphalt), very similar to our modern napalm, only much, much more potent. It would adhere to surfaces, ignite upon contact, and water alone would not extinguish its flames. It was so feared by those who faced it that soldiers would flee their posts; sailors would rather jump ship and face drowning at sea rather than endure the gruesome, intensely painful death.
 
How the term “Greek Fire” was attributed to the concoction is unknown. It was not used until the time of the European Crusades. Its formula and most of its history has since been lost.
 
One of the few known documented battles was when the Byzantines used Greek Fire in 678, when they annihilated an entire Saracen (Muslim) fleet -- it is believed over 30,000 men were "roasted at sea".

Soldiers would fill small glass jars with the dreaded substance, allowing them to hurl it by hand at their opponents. Arrows and spears would be used to fling the mixture around the battlefield.  Gigantic "war engines" (ancient pressurized pumps) were utilized to thrust large amounts over a castle wall, and upon landing, its devastating adhesion enabled it to consume almost anything to which it clung.
 
The Memoirs of the Lord of Joinville, a thirteenth century French nobleman, include personal observations of Greek Fire during the seventh Crusade..." Every time they hurl the fire at us, we go down on our elbows and knees, and beseech Our Lord to save us from this danger."
 
Those were the battle tales of yore.
 
But nowadays, there's been a revival of "political Greek Fire" from the democrats, that could be best described as a non-stop stream of devastating partisan accusations -- doggedly sticking to their opponents-- and have the Republicans "on their knees" and "beseeching the Lord to save us from this danger"
 
The Republicans have been burned over and over again,  but meekly, they refuse to fight back. But given the grievous damage that they've suffered for nearly a decade, the overriding question is "WHY?"
 
Indeed...why are the Republicans reluctant to retaliate, and as the old saying goes -"fight fire with fire?"
 
Jesus said, "the meek shall inherit the earth"...but certainly not the Whitehouse, and certainly not the two houses of Congress-- especially since the devastating Republican losses in 2006 and in the last general election.
 
Over and over the Republicans are getting roasted in Congress by either Nancy Pelosi, or Harry Reid, or Obama in the Whitehouse. The democratic party have become such polished experts at rallying uninformed voters that many believe the Republican party is in danger of extinction--including some Republicans themselves.
 
But all this would be impossible without media support.
 
It appears that the old GOP elephant is dying from1000 small cuts, and seems to be hemorrhaging toward a passive, self-induced political state of obsolescence.
 
Today, there are just 175 Republicans vs. 255 Democrats in the House, and 41 Republicans to 58 Democrats in the Senate (with 1 seat yet to be decided). This means that the Republicans are in danger of being marginalized into political impotency--unless they can come up with an offensive strategy-- fighting fire with fire!
 
Given the complicity of the media, the only political arrow they've got left in their quiver is to answer back with a steady stream of accusations of their own.

Ask any coach-- the best defense is a good offense.
 
Political offensive strategy is like football; you must outhit, outblock, and outlast your opponent until the victory is won. But the Republican playbook is reminiscent of the days when players wore leather helmets.
 
And mandatory on the list--job #1-- is a Republican coach that can literally "fire up" the party. But Michael Steele (too passive) nor Rush Limbaugh (too overbearing) will not adequately fill the bill.

If only the Republicans could "poach" someone from the other side with the cunning of a James Carville; or the political guile and belligerence of a Rahm Emanuel...or the steely-nerved smoothness of a David Axelrod, then the worm would turn.

But instead we have the meek and mousy Mitch McConnell; and Mr. nice guy himself, John Boehner. These minority leaders are honest, straightforward Republicans, but are made to appear --by the magic of soundbites--as lily and lukewarm, and regarded as "typical Republicans"... out for the wealthy, and who care not about the common working man.
 
And the repressive-oppressive media manipulation goes on & on, with no limits. It's always censorship of all democratic misdeeds, and one-sided coverage of "unpopular" Republican policies. Yes, when it comes to political fire in the news, it’s democrats exempt...Republicans-- lookout!

But like all good political battles, the key to present victory is to look to the past--the 1980's; and we're not talking about Reagan, but Micheal Dukakis, who was governor of Massachusetts at that time, and was the liberal-minded democratic candidate for the Whitehouse in '88.

During the campaign, George Bush Sr-- and by virtue of his political mastermind Lee Atwater (now deceased)-- the polls were dead even.  But the election turned on one masterstroke from Atwater: he exploited Dukakis' one vulnerability, the crime issue-- which was the political "hot button" of the day.

It was the "Willie Horton story", a TV commercial that turned an expected horse race into a near landslide election.

After stabbing a defenseless gas station attendant 19 times, Willie Horton was sentenced to life with no possibility of parole. But 11 years later, Mr. liberal himself, Governor Mike Dukakis, decided to be "fair" and grant Horton a weekend prison pass; but Horton's unexpected freedom resulted in yet another sadistic rampage.

Ultimately, Dukakis lost his presidential bid because Atwater's commercial revealed that he "heartily supported" a supposedly rehabilitative weekend furlough program for convicted felons. But the opposite proved true--Horton had gone free to kill again.
 
But since that time (and again & again) the Republicans continue to be "scorched" by their opponents, whether it's about social security, or health care, or taxes, or whatever-- they're ALWAYS on the defensive!

And the partisanship of today's media reveals why Republicans need to get fired up--and fast. In terms of political party affiliation, 56 percent of journalists said they were Democrats, but only 18 percent said they were Republicans; not real cheery odds for the GOP.

This means one thing--the Republicans face two opponents --the democrats, and a media so liberally biased that most of the television stations and newspaper chains that gave political cover to Obama in '08, will now be even more hard-pressed to go after Republicans, rather than face criticism about the disastrous results for the country from last November.

Despite the fact that the Republicans have a lethal amount of political ammo at hand, even a casual observer cannot fail to see that they're virtually incapable of fighting back.

But again it begs the question of why?

Why can't the Republicans talk about current "hot button" issues: Obama's earmark flip- flop from the 2nd presidential debate; the reckless democratic spending to oblivion; the "re-invention" of the welfare state, the attack on entrepreneurship, the attack upon the middle class via the proposal for carbon taxes, cap and trade, and all the other subtle ways the democrats are "wealth-transferring" to their constituents-- the leeches-- who loyally support them as a voting block.

The democrats can be attacked via a multi-front war, but the Republicans keep retreating and repeating the words of Lord Joinville... "every time they hurl their fire at us, we go down on our elbows and knees, and beseech Our Lord to save us from this danger."

So how do the Republicans return fire, instead of flinching? Re-incarnate the strategy of Atwater: hit below the belt where the enemy is most vulnerable!

The Republicans must implement the "Three L's Strategy". The democrats are the party of liberals, liars and leeches, sitting smugly in Washington, protected by the media...wreaking one tax hike after another, and attacking the middle ground-- the working families for whom they supposedly feign support.

And the Republicans have got to stop this defeatist attitude about liberal bias in the media. People looking for a political bias will always be able to find one; but the true bias in media will always be about cash.

Since the Republicans have no one within the party with enough political moxie or resourcefulness, they must resort to their last resort--money, and hire "mercenaries"--an experienced political ad agency.

After all, it's an obvious given that anti-president Obama was all speeches and no solutions, so why wait for this next election? Start the media crusade now!  Craft another Willie Horton type media attack...raise campaign contributions...then splash it on the airwaves!

Spread the news that the national media absolutely will dare not reveal: the Democrats are the ones who're pulling the wool over the eyes of America!

Democratic lie # 1- the stimulus bill: Nothing but a vote-buying scheme to keep the democrats in power for the next  20 years.  It will only expand welfare; it primarily supports union and illegal alien jobs, empowers ACORN, and does virtually nothing to help the average middle class family.

Republican response: this alone would make a devastating 30 second TV or radio spot; and it should be produced and run immediately to put the democrats on the defensive.

Democratic lie # 2-- immigration: The democrats are going all out to coddle the immigrant vote. They refuse to talk about closing open borders; they refuse to talk about their plans to allow aliens to have driver's licenses; or the fact that they'll be granted amnesty (and given the vote) during Obama's expected 2nd term-- a subversive plot to keep the democrats perennially in office.

Response: The Republicans must be smart...turn the tables; put forth a media campaign that will recover the immigrant bloc by advertising... "We welcome those from the other countries of the world who blaze the entrepreneurial trails, and arrive "unblinded", seeing all the opportunity America has to offer. These are the people who would start businesses in our inner cities, and who could revive our downtowns, and spark a badly needed American urban revival. Yes, the Republican party welcomes all who seek to improve America!"

Democratic lie #3: ACORN is nothing but a neighborhood "community outreach" volunteer organization; when actually, they are a government-funded group of thuggish democratic operatives who register fraudulent voters and swing close elections.

Response: the Republicans must alert America to ACORN (Association of Community Outreach for Reform Now). They must fire back with CAUSE--an anti-ACORN activist counter group. CAUSE (Citizens Against UnAmerican Subversive Expression) forms local groups (via the internet). These groups man phone banks that call local constituents about how their local congresspeople in Washington voted on EVERY bill.

CAUSE also goes door to door and passes out literature informing constituents of democratic efforts to subvert American values & freedoms, and empower those who do not pay taxes--the leeches of society--who  would rather collect a monthly check than be "man enough" to support themselves through gainful, private sector employment

Democratic lie #4: The U.S. needs national health care reform. This is indeed the grandpappy of all democratic lies. National healthcare is about as antithetical to America as you can get. It would stop virtually all medical and pharmaceutical research. It would literally ration all expensive health procedures...6 month to 1 year waiting periods for transplants, hip-knee replacements etc.--even MRI's.  All costly operations would be left up to the discretion of a nameless, faceless, distant bureaucrat. It would do as much or more to destroy the quality of American life as any tax hike or recession.

In other countries that have national healthcare, the citizens universally rail against it. Shoddy care is the norm. There are no malpractice suits. Botched operations --even deaths -are not "gotten after" by their governments. Only the costs are what matters; not the patients quality of life afterwards... or even if they die!

Republican response? So far, despite all the opportunities, the Republicans have been about as vocal opposing Obama’s socialist health proposals as a bunch of little hamsters, as they continue to "spin their wheels"--unable to contrive an attack-- and ironically, are depicted as "obstructionists" to this "vitally needed" measure to control health care costs and "take the pressure off of employer-provided health insurance."

Democratic big lie #5- Climate change... green energy economy...global warming, etc. The biggest democratic scam of all; and potentially, the most economically devastating, virtually guaranteeing America's descent into a third world nation in one generation. And all the above are nothing more than a scheme to demonize fossil fuels, payback the environmentalists, and promote carbon dioxide as a villain to the environment--therefore, its producers (virtually all heavy industry, manufactures, and utilities) must be punished with a cap and trade tax.

The Republican response: America must not be waylaid into the fantasy world of renewable green energy. Other countries (Sweden) have tried wind and solar for almost a generation and realize that it's virtually impossible to replace their transportation needs with something other than fossil fuels. Plus the United States has the majority of the world's coal, and what is the sense of leaving it lie fallow for the cause of the false environmentalism of the Democrats. Global warming is unproven, untrue, and completely beyond the control of mankind.

In the final analysis, the Republicans have got to stop relying on their heroes-- the conservative radio talkers, and the ghost of Ronald Reagan,

They must realize America has changed-- even 49% of Catholics voted Obama, who’s staunch support of abortion did not phase them. It's the economy stupid --not  conservative morality, or the need for a strong defense.  Most Americans can only see as far as their TV sets, and into the contents of their checking and 401K accounts.

Conservative principles are important, but it's still the "pocketbook issues" that will garner the undecided votes 95% of the time.

But will the Republicans ever learn? We'll have to wait until November, 2010 to find out, and see if they get burned again.

Saving America from ACORN-- An open letter to all conservatives


Here's a suggestion for the Republican party: Instead of trying to re-organize nationally, why not just surrender unconditionally to the democrats now, and admit they're
too wily to be defeated?

Just kidding.

But will they ever learn? How many times will the Republicans continue to be "outfoxed"? Are they about to evolve into a modern day revival of the19th century "Know Nothing" party?

EXAMPLE: The midterm elections are only in 18 short months; and instead of capitalizing on the political vulnerabilities of the spend-till-the-end democrats, the Republicans have again taken the bait, and allowed themselves to become embroiled in an insipid, media-manufactured, divisive argument over Rush Limbaugh vs. Michael Steele-- political stupidity on steroids!

The stock market is in a slow crash; millions of Americans are losing their livelihood; Obama is talking about huge taxes on everything and everybody; the foreclosure crisis; the major banks are in need of bigger bailouts; GM is about to go out of existence;  threats from al Quida; the Taliban; Afghanistan; Pakistan; Iran; the worldwide economic crisis...etc.

But the top news story? The statement that "Rush Limbaugh hopes Obama fails!"

Why do the Republicans continue to be so muted? Blessed are the meek? Turn thine other cheek? That may be a ticket to heaven, but Jesus (fortunately) never had to face a Rahm Emanuel in the temple --or the cunning of a David Axelrod amongst the Pharisees, or a defiant type like a James Carville during His sermon on the mount.

Or a thuggish group like ACORN.

If the Republicans don't soon get on the same page, they might as well wave the white flag because very soon, our good friends from ACORN will be receiving at least 4 billion  in "neighborhood outreach" funds --and they will again be registering hundreds of thousands of fraudulent voters nationwide. And if left unchecked, ACORN will further cement the democratic majorities in both houses of Congress after the midterm elections of 2010.

The Republicans have been accused of not having an economic recovery plan of their own (yet another, very clever political feint from the democrats). Well here's a REAL plan--a critical step that the Republicans must utilize against ACORN before it's too late.

It's called "write your Senator"-- an old fashioned, last-ditch attempt to alert the nation about these subversive, marxist thugs, who were indispensable in getting Barack Obama elected to the presidency in 2008.

Immediate action is necessary! Nothing else is more important to the survival of the Republican party than counter-acting ACORN!

If the American people continue to remain ignorant about this ACORN threat, we could be experiencing the tyranny of one party rule for possibly the next fifty years--or more.

So here's the first step: writing  a letter to your Republican senator. If you do not have one in your state, pick one whom you feel is a patriotic upholder of our democracy, and not just some hollow politician seeking a lifetime government job.

Suggestions include Jim Bunning of Kentucky; or James Inhofe of Oklahoma. Here are some others:
-Tom Coburn (Oklahoma)
-Bob Corker (Tennessee)
-Jim De Mint (South Carolina)
-Richard Shelby (Alabama)
-John Cornyn (Texas)

But  pick one whom you feel will be concerned enough and address a letter to him.

See instructions below for further details:

1) get out your typewriter, computer, word-processor, pen-paper; whatever
2) look up the address of your nearest Republican (or favorite) senator: try "Ask.com"
3) copy the text of the letter below; edit freely to your own vocalization
4) purchase and affix first class stamp
5) address the letter as "confidential"--and mail to Washington, DC
6) hope for a sincere response to your request
7) don't forget: words "move" people --especially in the form of a personal letter
8) pray that it's already not too late to stop ACORN's money-fortified challenge in 2010

The text of the letter is as follows:

(date)
Office of  Senator (name) 
Washington, D.C.                                                                                                     

Dear Senator (name)
 
I am writing this unexpected and urgent letter to you from the standpoint of an extremely concerned American citizen.
 
Every since I was in elementary school, I was fascinated to read about our American history. I was fascinated by the Colonial Revolutionaries in Boston; the brave Minutemen; the bravery of the soldiers who spent the winter at Valley Forge; the bravery and ingenuity of George Washington at Trenton; and the resolute bravery of the Continental
"rag-tag" Army over the Red Coats at the key battles of Monmouth and Cowpens.
 
As a youth, I was always so proud of my American heritage.
 
Throughout our entire history, we are a nation who have survived through the most desperate of times and circumstances, because of our tradition of American bravado. Whether it was the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the Spanish American War, or the two World Wars, the bravado of the Americans always seemed to win the day.
 
Yes; the thing that always shone throughout American history was our confidence.
 
Even in Vietnam, the pride and bravado of our soldiers won every battle. And twenty years later, we won the 4-day lightning war against Saddam Hussein, due to the bravado and swagger of America's traditional ability to sweep any challenge aside, because: "We're Americans... we are a nation of winners...we are the home the brave".
 
But now, a virulent cancer has suddenly seeped into our consciousness. We're no longer a confident nation. Something's happening --we are losing our bravado. We no longer speak our minds in public. Many now only feel confident enough to whisper meekly--a fear borne of some tasteless, odorless, but decidedly deadly repression-- which, as you surely must perceive for yourself, is destroying the very fabric of our nation.
 
Yes Senator,  it's repression that has seeped into the consciousness of our nation. We're no longer the UNITED states of America- repression is transforming us into a divided, bitterly partisan nation-- swamped by wave after wave of political correctness.  We are afraid to speak out. Our media will not report the truth.
 
We are the red vs. the blue-- a nascent, undeclared, non-violent civil war, where the people in power now are throwing our traditions, our Constitution, and our American heritage right out the window in favor of repression. 
 
This so-called stimulus bill was the last resort. It prompted me to write this letter to you. I feel you are one of the few persons left in the Senate that I know of who would actually act on my request.

Senator (name), you must somehow stop, or find a way to nullify the money ACORN will receive from this Recovery and Reinvestment act. YOU must somehow alert the public; you must somehow chair a committee to investigate these monsters, then find a reporter (or national outlet) who's brave enough to rise above the repression, and expose this grave danger to our freedom as a nation.
 
In all my years, I cannot believe-- nor have I ever perceived -- that a radical leftist group like ACORN could do so much structural damage to our country in such a short time.
 
In the democratic presidential primaries of '08, it was ACORN who turned the tide and was the key to rigging the Democratic presidential primary election. Yes- I used the word "rigged."
 
Recall the improbability of Barack Obama's upset in the Iowa primary: Hillary Clinton was far ahead in every poll. But the day of the Iowa caucus, there were reports statewide of boisterous groups arriving from nearby Illinois, who had descended upon the caucus locations at noon, got out of their buses, and went into their well-rehearsed brownshirt exercises.
 
ACORN partisans locked doors, refusing to allow anyone in, unless they were going to vote their allegiance to Obama. Phone lines rang continuously from early afternoon until well after the caucuses concluded, with reports from people from all over Iowa who swore that they were victimized and who observed irregularities:
 
There were caucus chairpersons in place at many locations who were obviously biased for Obama. They refused to accept preference cards from Clinton supporters who were at the caucus sites (on the grounds that the cards were not filled out fast enough). And these same chairpersons (ACORN operatives) brazenly intimidated many Clinton supporters into leaving early prior to electing delegates.
 
There were ACORN (Obama) people waving signs wildly, shouting down Hillary supporters, pushing people into corners, and even bullying people in wheel chairs-- intimidating them all into caucusing for Obama. Hillary voters were badgered in the parking lots, and at caucus hall entrances. It was get-in-your-face politics at its most horrific level.
 
The actual details of the thuggery were not brought to light in many of the local papers or TV stations around Iowa. And certainly no national media outlet dared pick up the story. It was beyond shameful. It was media censorship-- political correctness running wildly out of control--reminiscent of tactics that Robert Mugabe might employ in Zimbabwe.
 
Eventually, the Clinton campaign became befuddled. They were getting creamed in EVERY primary state that had held a caucus; yet they were competitive in the states using traditional balloting.

Naturally, the press covered by saying..."Obama had the superior ground organization in the caucus states". Of course he did! The Acorn thugs had perfected their Iowa technique, and just executed this election-day thuggery in all the other caucus states.

And once again, it was the deafening silence of the media who allowed it all to take place.
 
But ACORN remains a "whisper topic," because it brings shudders to any patriotic American, who do not realize the ongoing threat they pose to our democracy-- fraudulent voter registrations-- one man; many votes!
 
Examine the so -called "deadlocked" Norm Coleman--Al Franken senatorial recount in Minnesota. ACORN has had its shadow over the entire, corrupted process.
 
Mr. Coleman won statewide in the general election by a statistical margin of only 0.0002%. Out of three million votes cast, Coleman prevailed by 725 votes. "Close" doesn't even come near describing this election.
 
But 'magically', in the recount, Mr. Franken won almost all challenges presented to the Minnesota State Canvassing Board, and prevailed in some counties by margins as much as 3 to 1, 4 to1, or even higher. But how do you go from Coleman's .0002% mathematical statewide victory, to Franken's statistically impossible 70% (or better) per-county margin of victory in the recount?  Just call ACORN-- the Votebusters.
 
What made the recount ridiculous is that in EACH of the counties that produced challenged ballots, it always inured to Franken's advantage, and eroded Coleman's election night lead. The reason? Mark Ritchie, Minnesota Secretary of State (a staunch ACORN operative) was in charge of the recount.
 
Highly implausible, post-election "corrections" in just three precincts -- Two Harbors, Mountain Iron, and Partridge Township -- cost Coleman 446 votes, and netted Franken 504 new votes. The Minneapolis Star Tribune attributed the 446-vote "correction" in Franken's favor to "exhausted county officials."
 
Senator (name), I'm sure you'll agree, that it's manifestly absurd that the 504 total new votes for Franken from just 3 precincts, somehow turned out to be greater than adding together all the vote changes in the ENTIRE state for the ALL THE OTHER Minnesota presidential, congressional, and statehouse races combined- which were a net sum of only 482 votes.
 
And the biggest travesty of all was that many absentee ballots, possibly as many as 3000, mostly from troops serving overseas, were not counted-- thanks to Mr.Ritchie-- and ACORN. And these are the votes that tend to go Republican by the greatest percentage.
 
By whatever means, subverting the electoral process illustrates that any close election in the country now constitutes an open invitation for ACORN to try to steal the victory.
 
But that's ACORN's specialty. They are the agents of change-- they change elections, they force people to "change" their minds, they even changed the way banks made loans in the 1990's to precipitate the foreclosure crisis.
 
And so far ACORN has already changed the course of presidential political history, resulting in the repressive threat we have now from this well-funded "volunteer" organization.
 
Our future elections are in jeopardy. ACORN could keep the balance of power in the hands of those who would use their offices against the best interests of America. These are the people who would not uphold or serve to protect the Constitution; people who would grab power "by any means necessary"; and once obtaining it, would not surrender it easily (or fairly).
 
Senator (name)--you must now be the canary in the coal mine. If the public funding of ACORN is not challenged, the dominoes of our democracy will fall, one-by-one. You must warn America what is happening now and what we are about to lose--our Constitution-- because of corruption within our sacred electoral process.
 
There is no quicker way to destroy a democracy than disenfranchisement. If people can't vote, or feel that their vote didn't count, or sense that their candidate lost because of fraud, then what? Groups could be demonstrating. Order could break down. Civil disobedience could follow.
 
Our media has failed us. Most Americans are too busy earning a living, and can no longer depend on their news for accuracy, or have the time for a newspaper-- something Thomas Jefferson often warned about: "WHERE THE PRESS IS FREE, AND EVERY MAN IS ABLE TO READ, ALL IS SAFE".
 
Senator (name), I"m imploring you to use your office to call attention to this grave threat...this so-called volunteer organization of ACORN (Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now).

You must warn. You must be our modern day Jefferson. Call a committee hearing; remind America, "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance". Or call a press conference. Insist all the networks be there. Persist that it's a matter of grave national importance.
 
If left unchecked, there will be no one to stand for protecting the voter's rights.

Now that all of our elections can be stolen without challenge, future world history might read: "The organization ACORN were the Founding Fathers of a new socialist revolution that eventually engulfed a once-proud and strong American nation."

 

Most sincerely;
(your name)
 

Final post script to all conservative Americans:

If you care at all about your country--if you care at all about your individual freedom-- then do not procrastinate. Do not take this matter lightly.

ACORN plays for keeps. They are upholders of those who are deadly serious about destroying our democracy; a political activist group comprised of something most Americans could never imagine in their worst nightmare--a violent, communist, subversive group, operating with public funds-- right within the midst of every population center in the United States.

And they are here and now.

So go to your computer, your library, or your desk immediately, and write this letter promptly, to save our America.

The one good CAUSE that could save the Republicans


Here's a thought.

One idea of how to remedy all the Republican's electoral woes--the calamitous loss of GOP congressional seats, and the presidency -- would be their ability to counteract the criminal interference of ACORN.
 
So here is the plan :
 
The Republicans form their own activist group. It shall be known as "CAUSE"... Citizens Against Unamerican Subversive Extremism. And the goal of CAUSE is staightforward in nature-- attack back against ACORN!
 
CAUSE is how Republicans, young and old, unite under one banner, and ACTIVELY hound ACORN, (the pro-democratic, Marxist rent-a-mob) and literally force the media to take notice, thereby exposing the cataclysmic damage that this subversive organization has wrought upon our democracy.
 
CAUSE co-opts ACORN tactics. They would voiciferously picket outside the New York studios of the TV networks, decrying the liberal one-sided anti-conservative news slant, which is basically what keeps the Democrats in business (bid-ness).
 
CAUSE forms phone banks, and calls registered voters in every congressional district, letting them know if their rep in congress is basically voting in line with treasonous liberals, such as Pelosi , Reid, Schumer, Durban, Frank, Markey, Hoyer, etc.
 
CAUSE forms a website (ala Obama) to reach the young (or anyone) for contributions, and a call to volunteerism for the conservative agenda. And moderates are welcome-- you need not be a Republican.
 
Basically, CAUSE is an awareness group to wake up the dumbed-down American public, concerning the disinformation the media is feeding everyone about Barack Obama.
 
CAUSE is unlimited in what can be done. United under one banner (moniker) , the Citizens Against Unamerican Subversive (socialist) Extremism would provide the spark to lead the Republicn party out of its wandering from the desert of political confusion.
 
Haven't the Republicans taken enough? Under one CAUSE, they have the opportunity to respond to the blatantly liberal media bias. And most importantly, under one CAUSE, the Republicans could command the attention of the American public

Take notice Republicans. Look at the  incalculable damage ACORN has accomplished with its well-honed subversive methodology, precisely aimed at enabling the democrats to prevail in almost any close election.

And practice makes perfect.

Take for example the astounding fraudulence in the Minnesota Senate recount, between Republican incumbent Norm Coleman, and democrat Al Franken. The blatant manipulation is largely because Franken's ACORN-assisted side has displayed a remarkable propensity for defying the numbers in the general election.

Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, a democrat (and closet ACORN operative) largely controlled the recount, which saw Mr. Franken pull off a miraculous 950 vote swing in his favor, out of 3 million total votes cast, where Mr. Coleman triumphed originally by 725 votes.

Coleman's winning percentage was only .00024%. Yet Franken's highly unlikely vote swing indicated the recount margin went nearly 70% in his favor, a statistical impossibility.

So how did this all originate? ACORN.

In the election of 2006, the Minnesota ACORN Political Action Committee endorsed candidate Mark Ritchie, who won largely because of financial assistance from a below the radar "527" group -The "Secretary of State Project (SOSP).

The ACORN-funded SOSP backed democrats nationwide, who were running for the offices of secretary of state, knowing full well that if elected, they could likely "fix" possible recounts in any close statewide elections.

ACORN always seems to be able to "see above the horizon". And they play to win. So the Secretary of State Project did very well, judging from Mr. Ritchie's "partisan" performance in Minnesota.

So just how important is the outcome for this Minnesota senatorial seat? It's critical beyond measure.

Right now, the entire next two years in Congress depends on whether the Republicans can keep a 40-seat minority to maintain their filibuster voting bloc. And the margin of Democrats vs. Republicans is tottering between 59-41. So if Franken prevails,  the  current balance would swing to the Democrats. And they could possibly do whatever they want for the next two years, without so much as a sniff toward any partisan opposition.

The result? ACORN will have literally changed the political course of our nation for at least the next 2-4 years.

If we recount all GOP losses in the last two elections (13 Senate seats, 51 House seats and the White House) it begs the question-- how many of these losses were a result of ACORN? We can't know, but most likely at least 2-3rds to 3-4ths of any close races may have been decided by fraudulent voter registrations, which is ACORN's stock in trade.

The problem is that ACORN is always able to fly below the radar. The media is well aware of their influence; yet they say nothing, So this is where CAUSE comes in.

With a pro-Republican organization like CAUSE on the job, all these costly election shenanigans could be countermeasured with CAUSE sounding the alarm--sort of a spy vs. spy situation, or a CIA- KGB type of political intrigue.

Recall the old TV series, "The Man from Uncle". It was the bad spies from the sinister international THRUSH outfit, vs the good guys from UNCLE law enforcement. And it could be relived in true political life form as a CAUSE vs. ACORN scenario...the two organizations, constantly at high-tech political war , each trying to countermand the other's every move.

And make no mistake, war is just what's going on in Congress today. War is the exact description for the bitterly partisan election races that we have now-- there are no gentleman's rules of fair play. The gloves are off. Too much is at stake with every seat in Congress, and with every governor's post in the states. And along those lines, every secretary of state job around the country becomes ever more critical.

If ACORN cannot be reigned in, our democracy will continue to be  a mockery-- it'll continue to be one man, with many votes, in many places--all courtesy of the subversive desperado ACORN operatives, that lurk within the ranks of every state and local election board.

But have faith Republicans.  You can turn this around overnight. Just remember to volunteer for a good CAUSE...your own future survival as a political party.

ACORN sprouts fraud in Minnesota recount

 
Yippee! Those dedicated Democratic political partisans...they seemed to have done it again. In the arduous re-counting of over 3 million ballots cast in the Minnesota senatorial contest, the Democrats "transformed" a 725 vote margin for incumbent Norm Coleman into a "final tally" 225 vote victory for challenger Al Franken (aka Frankenstein); or another words, a net change for a reversal of 950 votes.
 
It seems that Frankenstein & Co. (a partisan state canvassing board), were able to transcend all the mathematical odds, and heroically snatched victory from the statistical jaws of defeat. How? Well lets run the numbers.
 
Coleman won statewide in ALL precincts by a statistical margin of only 0.0002%.  Close doesn't even come near describing this election. But magically, in the recount, Franken won almost all challenges presented to the Minnesota State Canvassing Board, and prevailed in some counties by margins as much as 3-1, 4-1, or even higher. But how do you go from .0002% mathematical defeat to a 70% or better margin of victory? Who ya gonna call? VOTEBUSTERS! ( ACORN).
 
What makes all of this ridiculous is that in EACH of the counties that produced challenged ballots, it inured to Franken's advantage, and eroded Coleman's election night lead-- until the Democrat could claim victory. Actually, ridiculous isn't descriptive enough. For the odds to turn so convincingly in Franken's direction, would be statistically IMPOSSIBLE. But where ACORN is involved nothing is impossible when stealing an election is on the line.
 
With ACORN filing more than 43,000 registration forms in 2008 (75 percent of all new registrations in the state), Minnesota was facing vote fraud problems even before the election. Even a small percentage of those registrations resulting in spurious votes may have tipped this election. 
 
And hey- here's a surprise...didja know that Mark Ritchie, Minnesota secretary of State, a staunch ACORN operative, was in charge of the recount? And the recount in Minnesota was chock full of surprises! 133 "forgotten" votes, supposedly left in the trunk of a car by a negligent poll worker, were never found, but were counted anyway. Since these ballots didn't exist anywhere for the recount, most likely they were just run twice by the helpful and honest ACORN workers running the polling place on election day. 
 
But how were they recounted? The canvassing board used the contemporaneous record of the tape from the voting machines .The 133 ballots at issue were from the Dinkytown precinct near the University of Minnesota, and netted Franken 46 votes. Whether they were legitimately-cast ballots or, perhaps, the result of someone running ballots through the machine twice, is the question at issue
 
But wait- there's more. Highly implausible, post-election "corrections" in just three precincts -- Two Harbors, Mountain Iron and Partridge Township -- cost Coleman 446 votes, and netted Franken 504 new votes. The Minneapolis Star Tribune attributed the 446-vote "correction" in Franken's favor to "exhausted county officials."
 
It's manifestly absurd that the 504 total new votes for Franken from just 3 precincts, somehow turned out to be greater than adding together all the changes in the ENTIRE state for the all the other presidential, congressional, and statehouse races combined- a net sum of only 482 votes.
 
By certifying Franken as the final winner by 225 votes, the canvassing board, in effect, was tacitly admitting that they counted fraudulent, duplicate ballots. And the biggest travesty of all was that many absentee ballots, (possibly as many as 3000) mostly from troops serving overseas, were not counted. And surprise-surprise; these are the votes that tend to go Republican by the greatest percentage.
 
The Republican National Lawyers Association is litigating the recount results. They're requesting donations (and any other support they can get) to fund their court case. But the real question at issue here is not contributions, or lawyers, or canvassing board recounts; the real demon lurking beneath all the electoral debauchery is ACORN!
 
By whatever means, subverting the electoral process illustrates that any close election now constitutes an open invitation to try to steal the victory.
 
But that's ACORN's specialty. They are the agents of change-- they can change elections, they can change minds, they even changed the way banks made loans in the 1990's to precipitate the foreclosure crisis. And so far they have already changed the course of political history.
 
In the general election, Barack Obama triumphed by a 53% to 46% margin; but the real story of how he won lies back in the primary states that held caucuses, where ACORN, flying beneath the media radar, was the decided game changer. But how did ACORN manage to be so influential, yet remain so esoteric (secret)? Lets rewind back to Iowa last winter.
 
Recall the improbability of Obama's upset in the Iowa primary: Hillary was far ahead in every poll. But the night of the caucus, there were reports statewide of boisterous groups who had descended upon the caucus locations from nearby Illinois. As they emerged from their buses, they were waving signs wildly, shouting down Hillary supporters, and stood at the entrances where the caucuses were in session. They badgered people into corners, and even bullied people in wheel chairs. They hung around the parking lots.

And gee whiz- what a surprise! Next day in the Des Moines Register..."OBAMA WINS BIG UPSET IN PRIMARY". Sure he won, courtesy of all the hundreds of bussed-in  Illinois ACORN  "volunteers". It was voter fraud on steroids.
.
But even worse, the actual details of the thuggery were not brought to light in many of the local papers or TV stations around Iowa. And certainly no national media outlet dared to pick up the story.
 
Eventually, the Clinton campaign became befuddled. They were getting creamed in EVERY primary state that held a caucus-style election; yet they were winning in the states using traditional balloting.

Naturally, the press covered by saying, "Obama had the superior ground organization in the caucus states". Of course he did...the Obama-trained ACORN mobs had perfected their Iowa thuggery, and just executed this primary-day "strategy" in all the other caucus states, like Nevada, and North Dakota, etc, where Obama would win "convincingly".
 
Presently, back in Minnesota, Mr. Coleman is vowing to defend his turf, (quote) "The eyes of the nation are on the state we love...We need to show that Minnesota has done everything to protect every voter's right" (unquote).
 
TRANSLATION: The Republicans, in their infinite naivete', are setting themselves up for another defeat. Whenever you talk of protecting voter's rights, and apple pie-ish expressions of patriotism, you are basically tipping your strategy..."We're gonna play fair-n-square, and let the lawyers and courts decide everything". Great thinking. Very profound.
 
But the reality remains. Playing fair in the first recount basically was a signal for the Democrats to fix the process 100% in their direction-- BECAUSE THEY KNEW THE MEDIA WOULD LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT!
 
Unless the Republicans wake up and stop playing Pollyanna, the Democrats, by virtue of their ACORN operatives, will continue to run roughshod in all future elections, until the Republicans eventually go the way of the Whig party, and allow themselves to be marginalized into political oblivion.
