Americans Need to Wake Up...NOW!

It seems that almost half of America is still asleep after the coup that took place last fall. The election of "the One" is now permeating even pre-schools and kindergartens. The indoctrination of our children has begun. I guess this makes me sound like a right-wing nutcase. So be it. But someone has to speak out and speak out loudly and boldly...



Our children are being taught to worship President Obama. This is not speculation. This is not conjecture. I don't believe this is an organized program but I could be wrong. The NEA Teachers Union doesn't promote this curriculum but some of it's members do. If this is just happening in one school then it is an easy fix...fire the Teacher. But we must be vigilant and make sure this kind of brain washing is not entering our local school system as I fear it has started to do..



You remember last fall before the election we had this group of young black men in an Academy School in Kansas City, Missouri...



These may be isolated incidents but the new lesson plans in most classrooms are already indoctrinating our children with radical ideas. They are taught that climate change is settled science. It isn't. They are being taught that homosexuality is a normal way of life. It isn't. Children having two Mommies or two Daddies is not normal and shouldn't be promoted in a public school. This is an agenda being pushed by the Far-Left.

In some states the Teachers Unions are promoting lesson plans for Home Schoolers and Day Care Workers to promote the far left agenda about the Gay lifestyle. They are threatening Private Religious Schools with lawsuits or loss of licenses if they don't teach "diversity".

Parents have a right to know what propaganda is being pushed at their children. These thoughts are not out of prejudice but out of concern for our children's futures. Parents are more and more being left out of the child rearing equation. Parents must become involved with their child's education.

Too many young people, who are undereducated themselves, never engage in their child's education out of fear of being discovered. They still need to be educated too. They leave teaching social skills to the Teachers and the Schools. They are giving up their child's heart, mind and soul to the school system. A System that has Agendas and teaches things that parents may not want their child to learn at a young age.

This propaganda started before Obama became President and it captured the youth of America just as it was designed to do. These methods have been known for decades. These are Saul Alinsky's and Karl Marx's ideas. Finally, if this doesn't scare you. If you don't believe that our young people are being brainwashed then listen to the songs teens and young people heard last year before the election.



If this doesn't scare your and enrage you and move you to action...then nothing I can say will. I pray that America will wake up soon...if I am still allowed to pray.

Has the term "the Left" become code for Black?

I don't like writing about racism. I will admit, it makes me self-conscious because I am a white women. But I've been on this earth long enough to know that the election of Barak Obama has been very bad for race relations. It has been bad on a number of fronts but I have to ask myself; "What percentage of Black Americans have embraced Obama's views that are Socialistic at best but are even closer to Communism?"

It would appear that the number is small but people with ideas that are Anti-American are reaching very high into our Federal Government and the Obama Administration. I know that the common, everyday, Black America still loves their Country and it's Constitution, right? I am becoming convinced I may be wrong...



School security officer Wesley Cheeks, Jr. is a man who optimizes the undercurrent that we are seeing evidenced in this his utterance about this not being America anymore: "It ain't no more, OK!" This is truly frightening. Free Speech is not legal on School property? This is unconstitutional on many levels but it has been tolerated in cases banning Religious Speech in Schools. The very mention of God in schools sends the Left into a tizzy so this shouldn't come as a surprise.

More and more Black Politicians are embracing Communism as evidenced by the Congressional Black Caucus's recent trip to Cuba. They came back praising Castro and the Cuban health care system. Anyone who has ever studied history, or is of an age who lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis, knows that Castro is an avowed enemy of the United States. Ask any Cuban refugee about the health care in Cuba and you will get a truer picture of what it means to be a third world Country.

And yet, this is what Black Legislators think about it. Listen to Rep. Maxine Waters....



I understand the pride that Black Americans feel when they see a man who is the same color as they are, reaching the highest office in the Land. But I though that Barak had a white Mother? That makes him only half-black. But that isn't the point.

It's not his color, his race, that offends me. It's his political leanings, some only suspected, some know, that won't allow me trust his motives. He is closer to the Communist ideology than I am comfortable with and proposals in Congress want to give him unprecedented power over every facet of American life. Spreading the wealth from people who produce wealth to give it to people who produce nothing but more children to use even more resources is his desire. If you have a society that depends on the Government for every need then you don't have freedom.

We are careening down a path to Fascism at an alarming. Big Business and Government are melding for the enrichment of an unknown entity who seem to be pulling the strings and are using racism as a defense against any criticism. Union Leaders and General Electrics' CEO sit on the board of the Federal Reserve. They don't want the books of the Fed opened. They American people have the right to know how the Fed is spending it's money.

Men and Women of African-American heritage are being given positions in board rooms and Government positions the will help write regulations that will affect every American. People with connection with the TIDES Foundation and Apollo Foundation are writing the legislation on Cap and Trade and Health Care. These two organizations are left leaning facilitators that are helping Obama remake America.
Established in 1976 by California-based activist Drummond Pike, the Tides Foundation was set up as a public charity that receives money from donors and then funnels it to the recipients of their choice. Because many of these recipient groups are quite radical, the donors often prefer not to have their names publicly linked with the donees. By letting the Tides Foundation, in effect, "launder" the money for them and pass it along to the intended beneficiaries, donors can avoid leaving a "paper trail." Such contributions are called "donor-advised," or donor-directed, funds.

Through this legal loophole, nonprofit entities can also create for-profit organizations and then funnel money to them through Tides -- thereby circumventing the laws that bar nonprofits from directly funding their own for-profit enterprises. Pew Charitable Trusts, for instance, set up three for-profit media companies and then proceeded to fund them via donor-advised contributions to Tides, which (for an 8 percent management fee) in turn sent the money to the media companies.

The Apollo Alliance is a radical environmental leftist organization.
A project of the Tides Center, the Apollo Alliance (AA) claims to have been "launched in the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy to catalyze a clean energy revolution in America." AA says that in late 2007 it "spun off from its founding organizations, Campaign for America's Future and Center for Wisconsin Strategy, formed its own Board of Directors, and expanded its staff and program to better meet the critical challenge of promoting clean energy and good jobs."

The watchdog website UndueInfluence.com describes AA as a coalition composed of "[t]rue believers with an absolute belief that go
vernment is the solution to all social and economic problems, allied with labor unions, subsidy-seeking companies and global warming / weather control advocates."
These Foundations are involved in social justice programs which translate to putting People of Color into positions of power. There is nothing wrong with deserving people being promoted to Board of Directorships or Managers except when their sole purpose in life is to remake America into a Socialist or Communist country.

Van Jones, an avowed Communist is the Green Jobs Czar in Obama's White House. He was a co-founder of the Apollo Alliance. When you click on the interactive map at muckety.com for Gerald Hudson you get this:The number of Law Firms, Oil Companies, and Medical companies you get by clicking on Redefining America and SEIU are incredible. You can begin to see how intertwined these organizations and the programs being proposed by the Obama Administration are. The Apollo Aliance and the SEIU helped craft the legislation. You can begin to see how these complex documents delivered to (Con)gress to be voted on and passed as soon as possible are tainted. Documents with thousands of pages of legal jargon that our Congress People just don't have time to read and want to pass into law at the earliest possible date.

This is a new kind of Racism. Black Men and Women are getting ahead in the Obama Administration. The only question is will it cost America it's future as a Free Republic. Hope and Change were great themes from Obama's presidential campaign. They were also concurrent themes from Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals". The Obama Hope and Change that the "people who look like him" thought would free them from their misery are in for a big shock. They will probably think that the white half of Obama's Hope and Change has enslaved them once again.

Obama tells the truth between the lies....

President Obama said today that there is no "Death Panel" in any legislation being considered by Congress and the Senate. His statement is true....except, of course, for Section 1233 in one of the of the bills circulating in the House of Representatives.

This is the provision that mandates "end of life counseling sessions" for anyone over 65, every five years. The counseling would encourage patients needing medical care to have a "Living Will" and "think about" Hospice care as an alternative to life saving treatments. The sessions would be held with a Government paid Physician and a Government Board counseling the patient. There would be "bonus" money paid to the Physician if the patient accepts the Hospice and the pill.

This isn't exactly a Death Panel but it's pretty damn close and there is a bigger issue at stake. The Government can change the rules in the middle of the game by requiring that certain patients must have yearly counseling. More Pressure to give into the Government's wishes. More bonuses for the Doctors. Given what I know of human nature, the patient would opt to die rather than have to spend their last few years on this planet arguing with the Federal Government.

Why does this concern me. Other than Glenn Beck's show have you ever heard of Germany's ActionT4 Project? It was Germany's answer to the health care problem that existed in Germany in the 1930's. It was a euthanasia program that started in 1939 and went on halfway through 1941. 70,273 people were exterminated by physicians acting on Hitler's secret memo of September 1, 1939 and they weren't Jews.

The Euthanasia Decree, written by Adolf Hitler in September 1939, reads as follows:

Reich Leader Bouhler and Dr. Brandt are charged with the responsibility for expanding the authority of physicians, to be designated by name, to the end that patients considered incurable according to the best available human judgment [menschlichem Ermessen] of their state of health, can be granted a mercy death [Gnadentod].

This happened because Germany had such a profound financial crisis that rationing health care and natural resources became acceptable by it's people. They [the German Government] had printed money to sustain their currency all through the 1930's because of the Stock Market crash of 1929. Printing money, buying their own debt, devaluing their money led to a society that devalued not just money, but their people. Does this sound familiar?

The danger for us today is that circumstances that created Hitler's Germany in the 1930's exists today in America. We are spending money at an alarming rate and now the Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Giethner, is asking Congress to raise the debt ceiling to frightening heights. We are printing money we don't have to pay debt's we didn't have the money to pay for in the first place. This isn't going to end well.

The "innocent" language being written into the health care legislation pending in the House is dangerous. When you give any well meaning Government the power over the life or death of it's people you are setting up a blue print for disaster. Does President Obama want to kill me or my fellow Seniors? No.

So why do I believe that Government controlled health care is dangerous for America. One person, the President, can't make that giant leap to rationing health care....but a group of people with radical ideas about population control and rationing resources can influence policy in a political environment such as we have now in America.

President Obama and his health advisers, individually, are not necessarily evil people. But when you combine ideas of well meaning men and women, that are far outside the normal thought of ordinary Americans, you are creating a scenario for great social danger.

Rahm Emanuel's brother, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is on the "Health Care Panel". To say he holds extreme views is an understatement. He has written on such issues as: Assisted Suicide. The promise of a good death, Death with Dignity, Dogma Disputed:

For many people, death in modern advanced societies is inherently undignified. Terminally ill patients are connected to tubes and machines; they experience pain, shortness of breath, and other excruciating symptoms; they are unable to get out of bed, feed themselves, and even go to the bathroom alone; they are cared for in impersonal institutions. In such circumstances, there is no way to maintain dignity in the dying process.1–3 This loss of dignity is a major concern of dying patients and constitutes one of the main motivations behind efforts to improve palliative care and promote the goal of “a good death”.

These are pretty radical ideas. He also believes in a theory called the "Complete Lives System". It advocates for the culling of society by social worth. The chart below gives you a general ideal of the value placed on individuals in Obama's brave new world.

Cass Sunstien advocates Animal Civil Rights and Internet Censorship:
The term “group polarization” refers to something very simple: After deliberating with one another, people are likely to move toward a more extreme point in the direction to which they were previously inclined, as indicated by the median of their pre-deliberation judgements. With respect to the Internet, the implication is that groups of people, especially if they are like-minded, will end up thinking the same thing that they thought before — but in more extreme form.

John Holdren is an Al Gore doomsday environmentalist. He supports limits on energy usage and health care. These are the people that surround Obama. None of them are evil people but they all are people with radical ideas. Together they are far more dangerous than they are individually.

Truman Capote wrote "In Cold Blood" about two men who went on a killing spree in Kansas in the late 1950's. He states that each man, individually probably wouldn't have killed anyone but when the were brought together they formed the complete murderer.

This is the problem with Obama, his Advisers and Czars. They are all ideologically bent in the same direction on the environment, energy and health care. Each one may not be a Socialist in the true sense of the word but together they form a dangerous mindset much like existed in Germany during the early 1930's. They are proposing programs that will take freedom of movement, free speech, and freedom to choose our own health care out of the hands of the people and into the huge bureaucracy that they are creating.

A pet dog may be docile and loving by itself but when put in a group of dogs that are allowed to run free they revert to the pack mentality. Barak Obama and his henchmen have been unleashed by the last election and they are a pack of dogs waiting to devour every bit of freedom the Americans people have. We live in very dangerous times and history does repeat itself.

We are being bankrupted by the policies of this Administration. When there is no money for even essentials there will be a cry for the Government to do somethings. And the Government will, but it will lead us to a totalitarian Society. We must stand up to these people before we find our toddlers and Senior Citizens being led to the Death Panels. Sounds like fiction. Unfortunately, it has happened before and it could be happening again.

Little White Lies, White Lies and...

Damn Big Lies...

President Obama is going to say he doesn't think this particular Climate bill is the right one for our country and he may veto it; on his right hand. Then he is going sign it with his left hand. This has become this President's modus operandi. You can't believe a word he says...or maybe you can. He told us during the Presidential campaign that he was going to spread the wealth. And he told a little white lie.

He said he was going to spread the wealth around to the folks and at least one of his supporters, Peggy Joseph, believed him. Remember this?

I wonder where she is today. She probably will get what she wants eventually, judging from what I understand of the bills the President has signed. She isn't a "productive" member of society. She a charter member of the welfare society. She is one of the people that Obama deems as one of the "rightful owners" that he has talked about spreading the wealth to.

Ms. Joseph should read the fine print. The wealth is being spread alright, to campaign supporters, political hacks and the Democratic side of Congress and the Senate. Congress is getting huge payoffs for their votes in favor the President's plans.
Ask Congresswoman Marcie Captor.
When House Democratic leaders were rounding up votes Friday for the massive climate-change bill, they paid special attention to their colleagues from Ohio who remained stubbornly undecided.

They finally secured the vote of one Ohioan, veteran Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo, the old-fashioned way. They gave her what she wanted - a new federal power authority, similar to Washington state's Bonneville Power Administration, stocked with up to $3.5 billion in taxpayer money available for lending to renewable energy and economic development projects in Ohio and other Midwestern states.
continue reading...

Maybe something will filter down to Ms. Joseph just before the next election so Obama can buy her vote and the votes of the everyone on the rapidly expanding welfare rolls. After all they are going to have to depend on the hubris of the Federal Government for their livelihoods.

The states are broke from all the unfunded mandates being placed on them. 20 states are in serious trouble now with California leading the way. The other 30 will follow suite if any of the Cap and Trade bill is put into law.

The bill is full of giveaways to big business and the poor. The middleclass will be further depleted of funds as the "change" this Climate bill brings eats away at what little discretionary income they have left after paying additional taxes on everything energy related and that's everything! The need for this bill to pass was a lie. The EPA knows that global warming is a lie. A white lie maybe.

This must happen if Obama is to complete his plan to "remake" America. He's got to keep us broke. He has to have a crisis. Yes, he inherited a crisis but he and his Democratic cronies put the crisis in motion with targeted legislation to bring about the financial meltdown. They have, for all intents and purposes, had control of Congress and the Senate since 2006 while Barak Hussein Obama and Rahm Emanuel were U.S. Senators.

Obama's plans are so elegantly drawn that all of this can't just be a coincidence. The Democrats, with the help of some very smart, obscenely rich people, have been manipulating the financial markets to make sure Obama was elected. They have further depleted American capital by seizing the auto industry. With unemployment at or near 9% the plan is working even better than they thought it would. Free Markets are dieing.

Now with a veto proof Senate the pressure will be on every Democratic Senator to vote for the Cap and Trade bill and every other Obama initiative proposed or thought of. Al Frankin will be seated and then the end game really begins.

Signs of it are already showing up along America's southern border. The President wants National Guard
volunteers to go to the border, unarmed and unpaid, to assist in the Border Patrol's fight against the Mexican Drug Cartels. What would American's do if one of our unarmed troops was murdered by a Mexican Drug Runner? Wallah! An even more emotional crisis than the financial meltdown. Empathy, you know.
President Barack Obama could send up to 1,500 National Guard volunteers to the U.S.-Mexico border in an effort to reinforce an existing counter-drug strategy. Critics have already bashed the plan as they say the levels of violence along the border do not require of unarmed-unpaid volunteers, but of U.S. agencies involved in National Security.
continue reading...
Another clue to what's going on in the mind of this administration is happening in Texas NOW! According to a headline on the Drudge Report, Federal Agents Hunt for Guns, One House at a Time! Didn't Obama say he wasn't going to go after American's guns?

Of course this is an inflammatory headline but the Administration is showing it's true hand on gun control. It involves Amnesty too. It's all part of a $700 Billion dollar giveaway to the Mexican Government. The Mexicans want to enhance their fight against the Drug Cartels but also want funds to "protect immigrants". Just what we need, more illegals for ACORN to mine illegal votes from.

The need for Remaking America is a Damn Big Lie!

Really rich people are getting richer. Really big companies like GE, IBM will make trillions from Cap and Trade. Really big financial companies like A.I.G. and the Banks are making obscene profits without living up to their promise to loosen credit. Really Big Drug Cartels stand to make billions in extortion of corrupt Mexican Politicians. The American Taxpayers are being made powerless by the constant robbery of their wallets.

At some point in the future, we may find some of the very people that were made rich by this crisis are the very people who caused it. Whatever happened to ethics? Whatever happened to love of Country over love of self? Whatever happened to America?

the Late, Great, Country...America

RIP United States of America...

I've been curled up on my bed in a fetal position for the past few days. Fear has gripped my heart. America is being murdered at the hands of Barack Hussein Obama.

The obituary of America is being written before our very eyes, day by day, as Obama and his Administration dismantle every vestige of American tradition, honor, and principles of right and wrong. He has bankrupted our Country's future and is now working on enslaving future generations to live in the proletariat of his flawed philosophy.

Today, even the Supreme Court has abandoned all principles of the constitution by upholding this Administration's abuse of Capitalism. The Chrysler deal stands. The President's "remaking of America" continues.

The speed at which the President is accomplishing the assassination of America is breathtaking. The Democrats are giddy with power and the Republicans in Washington are spineless and cowed by Obama's prowess. The Republicans hands are tied because of their own overreach of power under George W. Bush. It left them as the minority party in the House of Representatives in 2006.

The last election left Republicans with almost a Democratic majority in the Senate. It will be filibuster proof if Al Franken is allowed to be seated. When that happens, there is no stopping Obama. There really isn't any way to stop his massive expansion of the Federal Government at this point. He is creating, unelected, unaccountable, Government Bureaucrats with alarming power over all Americans lives. It will be hard to move back from the brink of the extinction of the American way of life.

Every Czar appointed will control huge sums of cash. Much of that money may be used only to fund the expansion of the Bureaucrats taking up office space in Washington D.C. and their salaries and benefits. D.C. is having an office space crisis. Not enough office space to house all of the new Obamanoids.

These czars will apparently have more power than cabinet officials – and report directly to Obama. “These czars will be accountable to him alone and no one knows precisely how much power each of these individuals will wield over our nation’s policies during the next four years,” said TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty. “They will impose Obamunism upon our nation.”
The people he is appointing are far left of the American people in their ideology. They are bringing in staff people they are in step with their views. Obama is taking extraordinary power away from the American people by creating an unelected bureaucracy.

Today, he has once again changed the language of his appointees names. Rumors in D.C. had said Obama would appoint a "Pay Czar" to monitor salaries of executives of companies that took the TARP money. As resistance has grown to the term "Czars" the Administration has announced he will appoint a Pay "Master". Change the language not the purpose.

He is taking control or attempting to take control of huge parts of the American Free Market system. He has already dismantled the Housing Industry, the Banking industry, the U.S. Auto Industry, and he wants to so the same for Energy and Health Care. It is an ambitious task and an extremely dangerous one.

The Democrats laid the ground work for the Financial Bubble since their takeover of Congress in 2006. Obama and Rahm Emanuel were both in the Senate during that time. The Republicans didn't have enough clout to stop the Democrats taking over the Budget process. The programs that burst those Bubbles were engineered by the Democrats.

President Obama's ideas are always masked in some form of high minded rhetoric. He is a very powerful orator and therein lies the danger. Most people don't pay attention to anything other than the way the words make them feel. They forget words have meaning beyond the inference of a great speaker.

How long can Americans believe a word he says. He so often says one thing and then does another. He is beginning to be perceived as a Machiavellian beguiler. He is artful in delivering a speech. In front of a teleprompter he is eloquent and cajoling almost mesmerizing.

Obama controls the Economy, the Housing Industry, The Auto Industry and will control the Health Care and Energy soon. His biggest asset in this coup is the Media. Sometimes called the Fourth Estate or the fourth branch of government, the mainstream media are attached to Obama at the hip. They love him...


Wake Up America!

I say that so often. I feel my eyes drooping now and my heart aches. I'm curling up again in the fetal position. My memories of what America was is playing inside of my head. It's so much better in my memory...my dreams. I only hope I wake up from this nightmare of what's happening to my Country. I only hope America is America when I wake up.

Thomas Paine's Open Letter to President Obama

This video was posted a few days ago by "Thomas Paine", i.e. Bob Basso, the great American Character Actor, with an emphasis on "character". It is an answer to the internet rumor about Thomas Paine being summoned to the White House. The answer is...

These are words, that express better than I ever could, the feelings and anxiety that all of us, as Americans, are experiencing since the meltdown of the American Dream. I only hope that President Obama will listen to this man, this Thomas Paine of the current era.

Alas, I don't think he will. President Obama has shown little inclination to compromise on any subject. He seems to think he, and only he, has all the answers to America's problems. He refuses to see that actions taken by the Congress and initiated or approved by the White House have been the cause of our rapid decline. He is supremely confident that his actions have saved America. Any blame that Obama should accept as his own is aimed at the Bush Administration.

The President can only say things are getting better for so long without taking responsibility for the current mess that we are in. Reckless spending has been the hallmark of this very new Administration. You can't give away trillions of dollars and plan to spend billions more without consequences. Someone is going to notice, and somebody is.

His supporters are finally starting to understand the position Obama has put us in. His personal popularity is still high but it has sllowly fallen since the election. His policies are starting to be challened by his supporters. Ina new Zogby Poll his Policies in certain areas are starting to show loss of support in amazing areas. The poll was conducted using only people who voted for Obama.

On Gun Control 50% of his supporters say they want current gun laws enforced instead of enacting new lasws. 65 % of Obama voters think that Sailors and Merchant Marines should be armed when operating off the coast of Somalia.

48% of supporters want a Free Market Economy as opposed to only 28% want the Government to continue on it's current path towar Socilism. One of the largest number of Obama voters to go against an Administration idea of allowing President Obama to sieze control of the Internet in the event of an emergency. 70% of his supporters balked at this proposal that was introduced by four Senators last week. The bill dosen't specify what constitutes an emergency. As Rahm says, "never waist a good crisis".

The poll is a fascinating read. Six months from now, when the shit really hits the fan I wonder where those numbers will be?

I think this next video is worth seeing again... It is a Thank You from Thomas Paine to the Tea Party Patriots and a new call for a Million "We the People" March to Washington...

Be Proud of Your Efforts...We Are the New Patriots!
Stand Up for America!

Sober Sunday...

Sometimes We have to take a look at what's really going on. If this Administration keeps on with it's current direction of spending and hidden taxes there will be more families singing the Pink Slip blues. Please, we must WAKE UP America!

Writing the Obama Anti-America Legacy

The Legacy of the Obama Era in American politics and American history is being written, day by day, at such a rapid pace that I'm sure we are all missing something. The changes being brought about are devastating to huge segments of American Capitalism and the future of our very country is at stake. Obama is, as he says, remaking America.

The automobile industry in particular is being remade. Smaller cars, greener cars, cars nobody wants. This may be the most disastrous act in American manufacturing history. A headline this week asks: Could Obama's Economic Advisor Want American Car Companies to Fail? (Warren Buffett) This is a connect-the-dots kind of moment because Buffett has invested heavily in the Chinese electric car market and this week General Motors announced it will import thousands of Chinese made cars. Humm Quid Pro Quo?

As of March 2009, General Motors was taken over and is still being dismantled by the United States Government. President Obama fired Rick Wagoner, the GM, CEO in a fit of revolutionary fever of his Hope and Change theme for America. He appointed a new CEO and a new Board of Directors partly made up of Union officials. Even a 13 year old, like a young man named Alex Good, could understand the ramifications of Obama's actions.
A 13 Year Old's View on Government Intervention

In case you haven't heard, President Obama and the White House has fired the General Motors CEO, Rick Wagoner. I'm not going to go into details on why this happened, I am only here to voice my opinion on whether or not this was a good choice, and how I see it.

When Obama fired Wagoner, I immediately thought of the concerns voiced during the election about Obama being a socialist, or having a few socialist beliefs or interests. As far as I know, Socialism is up there with Communism.
General Motors has been one of the most iconic companies in American history. There have been songs written about GM's most popular cars.



On August 23, 2005 General Motors Fairfax plan t created it's 10 millionth automobile. Union workers in the in the UAW Lo cal 31 Shop and the General Motors were among the top 3 assembly plants in North & South America as of July 5, 2008 according to JD Power.
"The Fairfax Plant & UAW Local 31 members have consistently produced high quality
products. They are a fine example of how UAW employees have answered the challenge
and build award winning vehicles for the global market p
lace," said Cal Rapson,UAW vice president.

"The J.D. Power award is one of the most coveted awards in the automotive industry,
and for our plant to receive two in 2008 only highlights the excellence of the Malibu product,
the employees who build it, our engineers wh
o designed it and our suppliers,"
said Michael Dulaney, Fairfax plant manager. "It should also be recognized that we achieved
these results in our launch year and beat both of our major competitors -
Toyota Camry and Honda Accord."

This was the heyday of the one of the iconic industries in American history. Automobile manufacturing once the life blood of communities across the nation is now reduced to anafterthought by the Obama Administration's handling of the economy. It was not always thus.

The Fairfax plant was immense, a 3,200,000 sq ft facility, sitting on a 700,000 Acre plot of of prime real estate on the fertile bottom land in Kansas City, next to the Missouri River, on the Kansas side of the river.

The site has been the home to airports, the B-25 Mitchell war plane m an ufacturers and General Motors in it's storied past. It was the hub of the Kansas/Missouri postal servic e airport in 1925 as well as the the main airport that President Harry Truman flew into whenever he came home from Washington D.C. General Motors had built cars on the site since just after World War II.

The future is here, now, in a literary déjà vu of sorts from George Orwell's p rophetic science fiction novel 1984. Condensed here from SparkNotes study guide:
Orwell portrays a state in which government monitors and controls every aspect of human life to the extent that even having a disloyal thought is against the law. As the novel progresses, the timidly rebellious Winston Smith sets out to challenge the limits of the Party's power, only to discover that its ability to control and enslave its subjects dwarfs even his most paranoid conceptions of its reach. As the reader comes to understand through Winston's eyes, The Party uses a number of techniques to control its citizens, each of which is an important theme of its own in the novel.
  • Psychological Manipulation - Purpose: to overwhelm the mind's capacity for independent thought.
  • Physical Control - Controls the physical body.
  • Control of Information and History - Control information, rewrite the content of all newspapers and histories.
  • Technology - Telescreens and hidden microphones monitor people's every move.
  • Language as Mind Control - Language has architectural form that can limit concepts. If you control of language you can make it impossible to have disobedient or rebellious thoughts, because there would be no words to form thought.
This is all seems very familiar. It sound like Obama is using 1984 as a template for Society and he has stunning ideas about the economy wich see to parrot a new book, Animal Spirits: How Human Psychology Drives the Economy, and Why It Matters for Global Capitalism by George A. Akerlof and Robert J. Shiller. It reads like a blueprint for what Obama and his Administration are doing to engineer their new economy. They are tearing down the bastions of old Capitalism and replacing it with a theory.

Therein lies the problem. It is a theory and not all theories are proven. Obama's legacy may not be in remaking America but in bringing America to it knees under tyranny. His rhetoric may be high minded but his reality is frightening.

Obama: Contradiction in Truth

When President Obama promised to remake America I was automatically on my guard. America is by no means perfect but it definitely doesn't need to be remade. After his first few months in office there's not even a scant slice of American life this President hasn't remade in someway. All this change at such a rapid pace is dizzying and confusing. That's the way Obama is being successful. He and his comrades in the White House have at least one announcement a day. Sometimes more. This is by design.

Things are happening at such a fast pace that most people can't tell what is really going on. The current media love affair with this President is actually making the problem worse. The Press simply will not tell the truth. They spout Democratic talking points ad nauseum. The main stream press is acting as a buffer against any criticism of Obama. They attack anyone that questions any of Obama's actions. They have and will report or publish the truth when it fits the Obama template. They will print or report a half truth with full authority to further their cause and they will lie for this President.

During the Presidential campaign Candidate Obama made a gaffe in a speech:
"I have visited 57 States now and I still have 1 or 2 to go. My staff wouldn't let me go to Alaska Or Hawaii."
The words had barely left his lips and the media went into overdrive to explain how impossible Obama's schedule was and how tired he was. It could have been an amusing anecdote but the media had to protect their man.

He has talked like a Moderate and has preformed as something very different. Almost all of his "change" has been 180 degrees from from what he promised it would be but he's still very popular with the American people according to the polls. However, when he talks to his supporters about specific things that affect specific people negatively then he can run into some trouble.

Case in point; the Washington D.C. school system has a program called school the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, a vouchers program, since 2007. Most of the families involved in the voucher program have children whose test scores have risen half a grade higher than students not in the program in rest of D.C.'s Public schools. A plea to save the voucher program published in the Washington Post began:
Better schools. Higher scores. And satisfied parents. That's the record of the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program. It is helping us keep our promise to leave no child behind in America. If Congress is thinking of breaking this promise, the nation deserves to know the story.
continue reading...
Congress was poised to cut off funding for the voucher program because Obama wanted to kill the program. It was a successful George W. Bush, No Child Left Behind program and Democrats had to wreck any successful Republican ideas. After the Parents in the District fought back, Obama (surprise, surprise) offered a compromise. The 1,700 kids (K-12), enrolled in the program, will be allowed to finish their education but the program will still end leaving thousands of Children behind because of his arbitrary dislike of anything Republican. This is becoming a perverse habit of the President. Promise one thing then deliver another.

He has a distinct habit of letting his cronies in his Administration and Congress offer ideas or programs that aren't popular. News of the programs are met with anger and frustration by the public. Then Obama rides in on his trusty steed and appears to save the day. These are excerpts of a previous article on my blog: 10 Rules for a Radical President
We should have known, when candidate Obama reversed his promise to take public financing if McCain did and then blindsiding McCain by pulling out of that verbal challenge, that Obama couldn't keep his word. It is a definite trend in his Presidency. The old bait and switch.

In a decision that I hadn't heard of before researching this article, "Obama Signs Law Banning Federal Embryo Research Two Days After Signing Executive Order to OK It". Now I'm thrilled about this turn of events but I bet his supporters don't like it much.

This is from an article on this blog on January 28th called the The Pelosi Gambit

On the Sunday news show This Week with George Stephanopolis, Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, uttered the now infamous statements about contraception being a stimulus to the economy, which led to the Drudge Report News Flash: "DRUDGE FLASH 2009© Pelosi says: Birth Control Will Help Economy". http://www.drudgereport.com/flashpbc.htm

How did this particular subject come up? There weren't many details available on the actual content of the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan". It would have been interesting to have been a "fifth party" to to the daily conference calls* between long time friends, Rahm Emanuel, JamesCarville, Paul Begala and George Stephanopolis, before George's show on Sunday, Jan 24th. I'm sure Nancy was probably in the loop too. Her comments set off a firestorm of conservative blow back over the "family planning" issue, just as the Administration knew it would.

On Monday January 26th, President Obama rode into the fray on his white horse to save the day! He withdrew the funding request. This was probably orchestrated to change public opinion about the bailout...and the Religious Right swooned... http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/148769293.html
Where is the truth? It lies somewhere deep inside the murkiness of big time liberal politics. Keeping the public weary and confused is Obama's goal. Say one thing, reverse the thing, then do what you set out to do in the first place, all the while, blaming someone else. This gives Obama cover. On March 13th...
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The American economy is in turmoil but the Obama administration sent a $50 million check yesterday to the United Nations Population Fund. That's the pro-abortion group that has been accused of supporting and working in concert with Chinese family planning officials. continue reading
and then the Pièce de résistance The President's most recent betrayal of the left. On (4/23/2009) the headline was: Defense Department To Release Prisoner Abuse Photos By May 28 In Response To ACLU Lawsuit. It became on Wed May 13, 2009 Obama Reneges on Torture Photo Release
I don't believe the final chapter has been written on the torture photos yet. Some Judge somewhere or some Bureaucrat somewhere will release the Photos. Obama will once again get what he wants without seeming to want what he gets.

When did we elect National Leaders of the Tea Party Movement?

I just posted this message on the 912Project Forum in the take action section. It is, I believe, a vitally important issue. I just want to know one thing. Who appointed, elected or choose the people who are the National Tea Party Leaders.

National Tea Party Leadership Team Accepts President Obama's Invitation,

This is the headline at the Parkbench website from an e-mail they sent me. Since when does the Tea Party Movement have National Leadership? Supposedly, President Obama invited Tea Party Leaders to Washington to meet with him when he spoke at the Arnold, MO town hall were he said
Quote:
"So, you know, when you see — those of you who are watching certain news channels on which I'm not very popular and you see folks waving tea bags around, let me just remind them that I am happy to have a serious conversation about how we are going to cut our health care costs down over the long term, how we're going to stabilize Social Security."

"But let's not play games and pretend that the reason is because of the [$787 billion stimulus bill], because that's just a fraction of the overall problem that we've got."

10 Rules for a Radical President

1. Never Apologize on foreign soil for the United States of America.
In Strasbourg, President Obama urged a shift in attitudes. "In America," he said, "there has been a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world,” and there had been “times when America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.”
Excuse Me, America has been a world leader ever since we saved the butts of the Europeans in WWII. America supported Europe in the war against Germany, sending, through the Lend-Lease law, One Trillion Dollars of military equipment and financing for Europe and the Soviet Union for which we received military bases in strategic locations for the war effort.

Russia claimed most of the actual capital that was paid as reparations after WWII in both Europe and Japan. The US got German Patent rights and some Scientist and little else. America was left with the unenviable task of rebuilding Europe both physically and monetarily.

2. When you bend at the waist before a Saudi King you'd better be having an appendicitis attack.

The Bows



3. Keep Your Word.

We should have known, when candidate Obama reversed his promise to take public financing if McCain did and then blindsiding McCain by pulling out of that verbal challenge, that Obama couldn't keep his word.

I'm not saying the President is a liar but he has "reversed his position" on so many campaign promises that it is making him seem like man with two faces. His promise of transparency was broken a few days into his Presidency, after his first meeting with his opposition, the Republicans, by his now famous rebuke to their ideas; "I won".

One day after his Administration issued a statement about moving cautiously on off shore drilling the President reversed that decision.

In a decision that I hadn't heard of before researching this article, "Obama Signs Law Banning Federal Embryo Research Two Days After Signing Executive Order to OK It". Now I'm thrilled about this turn of events but I bet his supporters don't like it much.

This list could go on but there are other rules to state.


4. When you don't want to reveal your true agenda don't talk to ordinary Joes.

Joe the Plumber



5. Never tell anyone that America is not a Christian Nation...
"One of the great strengths of the United States is, although as I mentioned, we have a very large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation.We consider ourselves, a nation of citizens who are, bound by ideals and a set of values." ----President Obama in Europe
51.3% of Americans identify as Christians. 23.9% identify as Catholics, That means that Fully 75% of Americans profess to having a belief in Jesus Christ. Only 16.1% of Americans have no affiliations to any religion. According to a Pew Forum survey of over 35,000 people.

Our laws are based on the biblical law from the Old Testement and the 10 Commandments. The very symbols that adorn our Capital tell the true intent of our founders. We have Freedom of Religion not Freedom from Religion. We have most of the rest of the world's Religions represented in America. We are not a secular country.

6. When your teleprompter screws up know who you are.
One St. Patrick's Day
Irish Prim Minister Cowen was set to speak twice at the White House on Tuesday night because there were two different parties going on at the executive mansion. No matter -- he would give the same speech to the two different audiences.
But Cowen was 20 seconds into his second address when it dawned on him that he was giving word for word the speech that Obama had just read from the same teleprompter.
Cowen stopped and looked back at the president to say, "That's your speech."
Obama laughed and returned to the podium to offer what might have been Cowen's remarks. In doing so, President Obama thanked President Obama for inviting everyone over.
7. When you go on television in front of millions of Americans, know where you are. Kansas City? St Louis?



8. When you are the President of the United States, know how many there are.



9. Know that you are judged by the company you keep.

From an article by Dee Gerrish,
Saul Alinsky – Mr. Alinsky was an avid and open socialist and the king of social activism, commonly called the "father of community organizing." He created many organizations that relied on street agitation tactics, such as the Industrial Areas Foundation, which trained Obama in organizing tactics. He wrote the book, Rules for Radicals, which outlined many of the tactics used today in community organizing campaigns. Barack Obama worked with the Developing Communities Project and the Gamaliel Foundation – both inspired by Saul Alinsky's tactics and socialist philosophy. Barack even wrote a chapter on community organizing in the book, After Alinsky. Saul Alinsky's son, Lee David Alinsky, recently praised Obama on his ability to perform Saul's tactics, saying that Barack "learned his lesson well."

10. Know that because you are a member of a Minority, it should make you more sensitive to other Minorities.

ACORN on Busses, Obama on Leno, Canvassers Seeking Pledges!

Where Do I Begin...

This has been a busy news weekend, but maybe not a news worthy one. What with the ACORN members and the Connecticut Working Families Party (Alinsky Union Members) taking bus tours to harass the AIG executives in their homes. Then there's President Obama on Jay Leno's Tonight Show making comments in a joke about his bowling prowess and comparing it to Special Olympics. That leaves The Pledge Canvass Project where volunteers go door to door or go to a public place and ask you to pledge support to President Obama's ravenous spending and taxing plans. The pledge started even before Obama was elected. Celebrities fell over one and other to Pledge service to Obama.

Remember these guys!

Wow, that's a lot to take-in in one weekend. There is usually only one leak for the Press to chew on in any given week. Of course the Drive By Media doesn't chew on anything about Obama. They barely gum it.

The ACORN Bus Tour is barely being mentioned in the mainstream Press. There have been organized marches in 32 cities staged by ACORN and the Service Employees International Union. It is no coincidence that ACORN and SEIU are involved in these "spontaneous demonstrations". They are well attended and well funded events filled with slick slogans and flashy signs. Look at some of the sponsors expressing "outrage" and you begin to see a dangerous pattern. The National Sponsors read like a who's who of leftest activists, most funded by Unions and left leaning Foundations:

The outrage is drummed up. It is a needed distraction so people don't see and can't understand Obama's true intentions. The whole agenda that Obama is pushing looks more like the rise of Stalin in Russia during the Bolsheviks Revolution than we should feel comfortable with.

He is using his "Cult of Personality" to mask what he is really trying to achieve, his idea of a Utopian Society where every one is given, work, home and health care by the government. A gray Society where entrepreneurship has been destroyed. Business is a demon to be exorcised. CEO's and Business leaders are things of disgust and should be shunned and their(AIG) families threatened and harassed in their own homes. The Daily KOS has posted a Reward for outing the executives. Is this really America?

The President is a man who himself is flawed or just plain gauche. He makes dumb statements like the Special Olympics gaff on Leno or his now famous St Patrick's Day teleprompter gaffe where he thanked himself for coming to the Party. He is lost without his teleprompter. He's been to 57 states. He told us the in 2007, 10,000 people died when a tornado hit Greensburg, KS, and the list goes on.

That leaves the The Pledge Canvass Project which is a very scary thing. The main thing this Project is trying to acheive is get as many signatures as they can to try and convince the General Public that everyone is in favor of Obama's Agenda. The trouble is the pledge doesn't tell you what his Energy, Health Care or Education policies are and what they are going to do to this Country.

The Cap and Trade provisions being worked on in congress as we speak are a Ponzi scheme. Tax industries that produce too many Green House gases and sell their sins to companies who can afford to pay for sinning more.

SmartGrid 2.0
and SmartMeters that will monitor energy usage in your homes and your utility will tax you for overages for using too much energy for the size of your house. Higher taxes on every form of current energy including a $1.50 a gallon gasoline tax the the President wants to have ready for implementation next January. Higher taxes on natural gas, coal and coal fired power plants. Taxes on top of taxes and it just keeps on building. This will be a disaster for what's left of our economy.

I have seen the future and it's being taxed.

Friday Morning Reading...


The President speaks out of the other side of his mouth.

After weeks of telling us how bad the economy is, we have this new gem after three days of a Bear Market rally or maybe that's a "Barely" Market rally. President Barack Obama on Thursday, declared the national crisis is "not as bad as we think" and his plans will speed recovery.

1st Amendment Under Attack by Left

Free speech is under attack from the left as never before. Yesterday, at the University of Massachusetts, Don Feder, a former Boston Herald writer, was shouted down and generally harassed by protesting leftest students who made hateful comments about him and his daughter. How ironic the speech Feder was about to give was on the subject of hate speech. He had been invited, and the event was paid for, by the campus Republican Club. He spoke for less than five minutes before his voice was silenced by the protesters who were interspersed in the crowd. They carried signs but that didn't seem to be enough for them. they turned their chairs around so their backs were to the speaker and even that wasn't enough. They shouted him down and all patted themselves on the back at his exit. How sad for our society to loose one of our most basic rights. The right to disagree. The left was putting their 1st Amendment rights to use but it wasn't allowed for Mr. Feder. because he had a different view.

ACORN is on the March! again...

Looks like the re-education of America is starting with a grassroots effort by ACORN to "change" legislators minds through re-education...er..forums. No problem, they are on the receiving end of more than 200 million dollars from the Porkulus bill that was just rammed through congress. Just a quick shot from their website.

Love the legislative members who are going to be re-educated.

...and then there is ACORN involvement in the housing crisis. They are truly begging for TARP fund to "help" foreclosed homeowners squat. Homeowners of color and low-income homeowners are being targeted to stay in homes they couldn't afford in the first place. Among their wish list for "reform" are:
  • Require principal write-downs, in other words, if you bought a $500,000 house you only have to pay back $300,000 or some arbitrary dollar amount to be determined by the courts.
  • Convene a summit with Treasury, HUD, regulators to establish new industry standards. "Oh yeah, I want ACORN writing my government regulations".
  • Authorize $25 billion of the TARP funds to insure against re-defaults.
  • Eliminate 90-day delinquency and bankruptcy requirements for Fannie, Freddie assistance.
  • Improve assistance by fixing affordable interest rates, reducing principal. "Sure, not only can judges reduce your mortgage but so can some other government entity".
and the list goes on and on in the pamphlet put out by ACORN entitled: Housing for America, a Roadmap Out of the Crisis. Interesting reading and frightening. Union manipulation, housing fraud and voter fraud are the stock-in-trade of this "community activist" association.

Obama's Hidden Agenda

I listened to the President's speech the other evening and for a moment I found what he was saying to be so "fair" that I almost forgot who this man is. If you truly listened to him you came away hating the evil people who make more than $250 thousand dollars a year and feeling sorry for yourself if you didn't. You came away hating the conservative point of view.

He is a mesmerizer. He is a charismatic being. He is a Lawyer.

Things that pundits and politicians have warned us about for years are beginning to come true. Every fear that the evil right wingers have ever had are being realized, little by little, every day in Congress, but not in a straight forward way.

The Obama Way is to let his fellow comrades in the Senate and House suggest the changes that "they" want made in legislation. Never mind his cohorts from the White House are whispering in Harry's and Nancy ear so they can get it right. He writes nothing. He only coordinates. Plausible deniability is key for Obama. It isn't his idea. No one can blame him. If you do blame Obama you are a flaming bigot. The Chicago Way is to hide what you're doing, cloud the issue through subterfuge and if any one threatens to tell the truth, you bury them.

He has shown his propensity throughout his short political career not to compete with his opponents but to eliminate them. Clear the playing field. No opposition to him whatsoever. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/29/obamas.first.campaign/index.html

Jay Stewart of the Chicago's Better Government Association stated in a 2008 CNN political piece:

"He came from Chicago politics," Stewart said. "Politics ain't beanbag, as they say in Chicago. You play with your elbows up, and you're pretty tough and ruthless when you have to be. Sen. Obama felt that's what was necessary at the time, that's what he did."
"Does it fit in with the rhetoric now?"
Stewart answered himself with, "Perhaps not."

But I think Mr. Stewart is wrong. It fits perfectly for his agenda as President. Dissent cannot be allowed. If you oppose him you are called a racist. He uses his blackness as a shield from any assault. You can't say these things, You can't even think these things.

He has lieutenants such as James Carvill and David Axelrod, that go out to every conceivable venue to bash the awful right wing attacks and uphold every golden word the President says. He's too big to fail. Too important. He is after all the the first Afro-American President as well as the smartest President to ever hold the office. He's too historic...

and he is NOT what he seems to be. He and his Administration have a hidden agenda that is being revealed one thin layer at a time and what's is being revealed is a man who wants to get even with those wrongs he perceives having been done to his race and class by the evil Capitalist. He has a fascist bent. He is going to use his high office and political good will to get even. He wants to control every one. He can only do it with the aid of Congress.

His legislative agenda must be hidden because if the American people ever got wind of what was really going on it would cause them to revolt. Congress goes about doing Obama's business of governing with important legislation being proposed everyday, such as these "vital" pieces of legislation proposed yesterday, February 26, 2009 in the house:

2. H.CON.RES.65 : Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that James Brown, also known as the "Godfather of Soul", should be recognized for his contributions to American music as one of the greatest and most influential entertainers of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s as an American cultural icon.
Sponsor: Rep Rangel, Charles B. [NY-15] (introduced 2/26/2009) Cosponsors (None)
Committees: House Education and Labor
Latest Major Action: 2/26/2009 Referred to House committee. Status: Referred to the House Committee on Education and Labor.


3. H.CON.RES.66 : Expressing the sense of Congress that Lionel Hampton should be honored for his contributions to American music.
Sponsor: Rep Rangel, Charles B. [NY-15] (introduced 2/26/2009) Cosponsors (None)
Committees: House Education and Labor
Latest Major Action: 2/26/2009 Referred to House committee. Status: Referred to the House Committee on Education and Labor.


4. H.CON.RES.67 : Expressing the sense of Congress that Lena Horne should be recognized as one of the most popular performers of the 1940s and 1950s and for her outspoken opposition to racial and social injustice.
Sponsor: Rep Rangel, Charles B. [NY-15] (introduced 2/26/2009) Cosponsors (None)
Committees: House Oversight and Government Reform
Latest Major Action: 2/26/2009 Referred to House committee. Status: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

These kinds of legislation are the rule not the exception but then there's the other extreme...

Doing Obama's dirty work, He is never connected to any legislation. The true meaning of his intent is hidden in otherwise obscure legislation. There is a real agenda. Controversial legislation hidden in more palatable bills. Something Obama can sign with cover because the main legislation is so vital it must be signed immediately.

His very first bill, the Stimulus Bill was passed so fast that there was no time for Congress to read it. There is so much hidden in that bill that it will take years to decipher the bills true scope. Now he is turning to a long Democratic wish list.

The Senate bill, S 160, is legislation dealing with representation for the District of Columbia. It is the loss leader for the Fairness Doctrine, a bill to limit the voices of opposition. Sen. Jim DeMint proposed the cover amendment, insuring that the Fairness Doctrine will not be revisited. The amendment was passed by a vote of 88 to 11. Approved by all Democrats (aren't they fair) Now the pundits such as Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage haven't got anything to complain about.

80. S.AMDT.573 to S.160 To prevent the Federal Communications Commission from repromulgating the fairness doctrine.
Sponsor: Sen DeMint, Jim [SC] (introduced 2/25/2009) Cosponsors (9)
Latest Major Action: 2/26/2009 Senate amendment agreed to. Status: Amendment SA 573 agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 87 - 11. Record Vote Number: 71.

But wait...another amendment had to be offered to S 160 and moments later the language was skewed to better suit the Democrats with amendment S AMDT 591.

86. S.AMDT.591 to S.160 To encourage and promote diversity in communication media ownership, and to ensure that the public airwaves are used in the public interest.
Sponsor: Sen Durbin, Richard [IL] (introduced 2/26/2009) Cosponsors (None)
Latest Major Action: 2/26/2009 Senate amendment agreed to. Status: Amendment SA 591 agreed to in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 57 - 41. Record Vote Number: 70.

The same legislation can both end the fairness doctrine and reinstate it in the very same instance, only now it isn't called the Fairness Doctrine. That has been defeated by the first amendment S AMDT 573 and reborn as S AMDT 591 an amendment to the same bill and now referred to as the "diversity in communications media ownership" clause.

The language in most bills is kept purposefully convoluted so the ordinary person, if they ever took the time to read any given legislation, would find it so foreign that they wouldn't understand what they were reading. The minutia being pedaled by the esteemed members of the House and Senate is very hard to follow. The language of any law can be changed at a moments notice. The change of one word in an existing bill can vastly change the meaning of any piece of legislation.

Now the FCC, if the bill is passed, can require that talk radio stations in any given market must have diverse ownership. That means some of those stations will be getting new ownership and I'm sure that ownership won't want to carry conservative talk radio, effectively silencing Mr. Limbaugh and others in the conservative talk genre. So much for First Amendment rights. So much for Free speech. Once again, Obama clears the playing field.


As usual the bureaucrats in Washington are fiddling with "vital" legislation while the Constitution burns! I pray for God to save this Union before it's too late.
