Soros and Obama, EVIL?
You need to read this entire article and learn how Evil men (Obama and Soros) are out to destroy America.
The words of Patrick Henry are apropos, "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me,
give me liberty, or give me death!"
By Aaron Klein
Philanthropist billionaire George Soros is a primary funder and key proponent of the global organization that promotes the military doctrine used by the Obama administration to justify the recent airstrikes targeting the regime of Moammar Gadhafi in Libya.
The activist who founded and coined the name of the doctrine, "Responsibility to Protect," sits on several key organizations alongside Soros.
Also, the Soros-funded global group that promotes Responsibility to Protect is closely tied to Samantha Power, the National Security Council special adviser to Obama on human rights.
Power has been a champion of the doctrine and is, herself, deeply tied to the doctrine's founder.
According to reports, Power was instrumental in convincing Obama to act against Libya.
The Responsibility to Protect doctrine has been described by its founders and proponents, including Soros, as promoting global governance while allowing the international community to penetrate a nation state's borders under certain conditions.
FROM STEVE KROFT ( 60 Minutes ) on CBS!
This is very interesting material. Glenn Beck has been developing material to show all the ties that Soros has through the nation and world along with his goals. This article is written by Steve Kroft from 60 Minutes . It begins to piece together the rise of Obama and his behavior in leading the nation along with many members of Congress( in particular the Democrats, such as the election of Pelosi recently to the minority leader position in Congress):
This is almost too scary to contemplate... like a James Bond theme.
If you have wondered where Obama came from and just how he quickly moved from obscurity to President, or why the media is "selective" in what we are told, here is the man who most probably put him there and is responsible. He controls President Obama's every move. Think this is absurd? Invest a few minutes and read this. You won't regret it.
Who is Obama? Obama is a puppet and here is the explanation of the man or demon that pulls his strings. It's not by chance that Obama can manipulate the world. I don't think he knows how to tie his shoe laces. After reading this and Obama's reluctance to accept help on the oil spill you wonder if the spill is part of the plan to destroy the US ? "In history, nothing happens by accident. If it happened, you can bet someone planned it." [ Franklin Delano Roosevelt ]
Who Is George Soros? He brought the market down in 2 days. Here is what CBS' Mr. Steve Kroft's research has turned up. It's a bit of a read, and it took 4 months to put it together. "The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States ." [George Soros]
George Soros is an evil man. He's anti-God, anti-family, anti-American, and anti-good. He killed and robbed his own Jewish people. What we have in Soros, is a multi-billionaire atheist, with skewed moral values, and a sociopath's lack of conscience. He considers himself to be an elitist world-class philosopher, despises the American way, and just loves to do social engineering and change cultures.
György Schwartz, better known to the world as George Soros, was born August 12, 1930 in Hungary . Soros' father, Tivadar, was a fervent practitioner of the Esperanto language invented in 1887, and designed to be the first global language, free of any national identity. The Schwartz's, who were non-practicing Jews, changed the family name to Soros, in order to facilitate assimilation into the Gentile population, as the Nazis spread into Hungary during the 1930s.
When Hitler's henchman Adolf Eichmann arrived in Hungary , to oversee the murder of that country's Jews, George Soros ended up with a man whose job was confiscating property from the Jewish population. Soros went with him on his rounds.
Soros has repeatedly called 1944, "(T)he best year of his life." Seventy percent of Mr. Soros's fellow Jews in Hungary , nearly a half-million human beings, were annihilated in that year, yet he gives no sign that this put any damper on his elation, either at the time or indeed in retrospect. During an interview with Sixty Minutes' , Steve Kroft, Soros was asked about his "best year."
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from your fellow Jews, friends and neighbors.
SOROS: Yes. That's right. Yes.
KROFT: I mean, that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many, years. Was it difficult?
SOROS: No, not at all. Not at all, I rather enjoyed it.
KROFT: No feelings of guilt?
SOROS: No, only feelings of absolute power.
In his article, Muravchik describes how Soros has admitted to having carried some rather "potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me in trouble." Be that as it may. After WWII, Soros attended the London School of Economics, where he fell under the thrall of fellow atheist and Hungarian, Karl Popper, one of his professors. Popper was a mentor to Soros until Popper's death in 1994. Two of Popper's most influential teachings concerned "the open society," and fallibilism.
Fallibilism is the philosophical doctrine that all claims of knowledge could, in principle, be mistaken. (Then again, I could be wrong about that.) The "open society" basically refers to a "test and evaluate" approach to social engineering. Regarding "open society", Roy Childs writes, "Since the Second World War, most of the Western democracies have followed Popper's advice about piecemeal social engineering and democratic social reform, and it has gotten them into a grand mess."
In 1956 Soros moved to New York City , where he worked on Wall Street, and started amassing his fortune. He specialized in hedge funds and currency speculation. Soros is absolutely ruthless, amoral, and clever in his business dealings, and quickly made his fortune. By the 1980's he was well on his way to becoming the global powerhouse that he is today.
In an article Kyle-Anne Shiver wrote for The American Thinker, she says, "Soros made his first billion in 1992 by shorting the British pound with leveraged billions in financial bets, and became known as the man who broke the Bank of England . He broke it on the backs of hard-working British citizens who immediately saw their homes severely devalued and their life savings cut drastically, almost overnight."
In 1994 Soros crowed in The New Republic , that "the former Soviet Empire is now called the Soros Empire." The Russia-gate scandal in 1999, which almost collapsed the Russian economy, was labeled by Rep. Jim Leach, then head of the House Banking Committee, to be "one of the greatest social robberies in human history. "The "Soros Empire" indeed. In 1997 Soros almost destroyed the economies of Thailand and Malaysia . At the time, Malaysia 's Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohammad, called Soros "a villain, and a moron." Thai activist Weng Tojirakarn said, "We regard George Soros as a kind of Dracula. He sucks the blood from the people."
The website Greek National Pride reports, "[Soros] was part of the full court press that dismantled Yugoslavia and caused trouble in Georgia , Ukraine and Myanmar [ Burma ]. Calling himself a philanthropist, Soros' role is to tighten the ideological stranglehold of globalization and the New World Order while promoting his own financial gain. He is without conscience; a capitalist who functions with absolute amorality."
France has upheld an earlier conviction against Soros for felony insider trading. Soros was fined 2.9 million dollars. Recently, his native Hungary fined Soros 2.2 million dollars for "illegal market manipulation." Elizabeth Crum writes that the Hungarian economy has been in a state of transition as the country seeks to become more financially stable and westernized. [Soros'] deliberately driving down the share price of its largest bank put Hungary 's economy into a wicked tailspin, one from which it is still trying to recover.
My point here is that Soros is a planetary parasite. His grasp, greed, and gluttony have a global reach. But what about America ? Soros told Australia 's national newspaper The Australian , " America , as the centre of the globalized financial markets, was sucking up the savings of the world. This is now over. The game is out," he said, adding that the time has come for "a very serious adjustment" in American's consumption habits. He implied that he was the one with the power to bring this about."
Soros: "World financial crisis was "stimulating" and "in a way, the culmination of my life's work."
Obama has recently promised 10 billion of our tax dollars to Brazil , in order to give them a leg-up in expanding their offshore oil fields. Obama's largesse towards Brazil came shortly after his political financial backer, George Soros, invested heavily in Brazilian oil (Pet rob ras).
Tait Trussel writes, "The Pet rob ras loan may be a windfall for Soros and Brazil , but it is a bad deal for the U. S. The American Petroleum Institute estimates that oil exploration in the U S could create 160,000 new, well-paying jobs, as well as $1.7 trillion in revenues to federal, state, and local governments, all while fostering greater energy security and independence."
A blog you might want to keep an eye on is SorosWatch.com. Their mission: "This blog is dedicated to all who have suffered due to the ruthless financial pursuits of George Soros. Your stories are many and varied, but the theme is the same: the destructive power of greed without conscience. We pledge to tirelessly watch Soros wherever he goes and to print the truth in the hope that he will one day be made to stop preying upon the world's poor, that justice will be served."
Back to America . Soros has been actively working to destroy America from the inside out for some years now. People have been warning us. Two years ago, news sources reported that "Soros [is] an extremist who wants open borders, a one-world foreign policy, legalized drugs, euthanasia, and on and on. This is off-the-chart dangerous." In 1997 Rachel Ehrenfeld wrote, "Soros uses his philanthropy to change or more accurately, deconstruct the moral values and attitudes of the Western world, and particularly of the American people. His "open society" is not about freedom; it is about license. His vision rejects the notion of ordered liberty, in favor of a PROGRESSIVE ideology of rights and entitlements."
Perhaps the most important of these "whistle blowers" are David Horowitz and Richard Poe. Their book The Shadow Party outlines in detail how Soros hijacked the Democratic Party, and now owns it lock, stock, and barrel. Soros has been packing the Democratic Party with radicals, and ousting moderate Democrats for years. The Shadow Party became the Shadow Government, which recently became the Obama Administration.
Discover The Networks.org (another good source) writes, "By his [Soros'] own admission, he helped engineer coups in Slovakia , Croatia , Georgia , and Yugoslavia . When Soros targets a country for "regime change," he begins by creating a shadow government, a fully formed government-in-exile, ready to assume power when the opportunity arises. The Shadow Party he has built in America greatly resembles those he has created in other countries prior to instigating a coup."
The November 2008 edition of the German magazine Der Spiegel , in which Soros gives his opinion on what the next POTUS (President of the U. S. ) should do after taking office. "I think we need a large stimulus package." Soros thought that around 600 billion dollars would be about right. Soros also said that, "I think Obama presents us a great opportunity to finally deal with global warming and energy dependence. The U. S. needs a cap and trade system with auctioning of licenses for emissions rights."
Although Soros doesn't (yet) own the Republican Party, like he does the Democrats, make no mistake, his tentacles are spread throughout the Republican Party as well.
Soros is a partner in the Carlyle Group where he has invested more than 100 million dollars. According to an article by The Baltimore Chronicle 's Alice Cherbonnier, the Carlye Group is run by "a veritable who's who of former Republican leaders," from CIA man Frank Carlucci, to CIA head [and ex-President] George Bush, Sr.
In late 2006, Soros bought about 2 million shares of Halliburton, Dick Cheney's old stomping grounds. When the Democrats and Republicans held their conventions in 2000, Soros held Shadow Party conventions in the same cities, at the same time. In 2008, Soros donated $5,000,000,000 ( that's five billion ) to the Democratic National Committee, DNC, to insure Obama's win and wins for many other Alinsky trained Radical Rules, Anti-American Socialists. George has been contributing a $ billion plus to the DNC since Clinton came on the scene.
Soros has dirtied both sides of the aisle, trust me. And if that weren't bad enough, he has long held connections with the CIA. And I mustn't forget to mention Soros' involvement with the MSM (Main Stream Media), the entertainment industry (e.g., he owns 2.6 million shares of Time Warner), and the various political advertising organizations he funnels millions to. In short, George Soros controls or influences most of the MSM. Little wonder they ignore the TEA PARTY, Soro's NEMESIS. As Matthew Vadum writes, "The liberal billionaire-turned-philanthropist has been buying up media properties for years in order to drive home his message to the American public that they are too materialistic, too wasteful, too selfish, and too stupid to decide for themselves how to run their own lives."
Richard Poe writes, "Soros' private philanthropy, totaling nearly $5 billion, continues undermining America 's traditional Western values. His giving has provided funding of abortion rights, atheism, drug legalization, sex education, euthanasia, feminism, gun control, globalization, mass immigration, gay marriage and other radical experiments in social engineering."
Some of the many NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) that Soros funds with his billions are: MoveOn.org, the Apollo Alliance , Media Matters for America , the Tides Foundation, the ACLU, ACORN, PDIA (Project on Death In America ), La Raza, and many more. For a more complete list, with brief descriptions of the NGOs, go to DiscoverTheNetworks.org.
Poe continues, "Through his global web of Open Society Institutes and Open Society Foundations, Soros has spent 25 years recruiting, training, indoctrinating and installing a network of loyal operatives in 50 countries, placing them in positions of influence and power in media, government, finance and academia."
Without Soros' money, would the Saul Alinsky's Chicago machine still be rolling? Would SEIU, ACORN, and La Raza still be pursuing their nefarious activities? Would Big Money and lobbyists still be corrupting government? Would our college campuses still be retirement homes for 1960s radicals?
America stands at the brink of an abyss, and that fact is directly attributable to Soros. Soros has vigorously, cleverly, and insidiously planned the ruination of America and his puppet, Barack Obama is leading the way.

King Obama supports Lawlessness and Terrorism
Message to Wisconsin taxpayers:
President Obama and the Democratic National Committee have declared war on you.
Message to other states: You're next!
The political unrest in Wisconsin, billed as some kind of grass-roots uprising, is being organized and directed by Barack Obama‘s Organizing for America and the Democratic National Committee. This development is consistent with Mr. Obama‘s instructions for supporters to "get in the face" of those who oppose them, but in this case, they are seeking to derail a lawful legislative process!
Does Obama has nothing better to do than help organize an attack on a Governor that is attempting to balance the budget in his own State? I do not care if you think Obama is born in another country or if he is a Muslim at heart. What I do know is that, Obama is Anti American and is attempting to destroy America from within!
What does the Communist Party say?
"The Occupation of the Wisconsin Capitol Continues for a Third Day." Those are not my words. That's the headline of a story in the Communist Party USA's People's World website. Communist are occupying the WI Capitol and are being aided and abetted by their leader, Barrack Obama!
And the Public officials (Democrat Senators) Obama supports?
A leading Wisconsin senator who fled to Chicago with fellow Democrats says they could stay out of Wisconsin for days or even weeks.
Is this not the definition of a Chicken Shit !
Fire them all!
The chart below shows how Obama is bankrupting our Nation.
Hope and change my Butt!

Thank you Barack Obama for Hope and Change!
Thank you Barack;
Obama destroyed the Clinton Political Machine, driving a stake through the heart of Hillary's presidential aspirations - something no Republican was ever able to do.
Obama killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - no more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home.
Obama is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes! Dennis Moore had never lost a race. Evan Bayh had never lost a race. Byron Dorgan had never lost a race. Harry Reid - soon to be GONE! These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed. By the end of 2010, dozens more will be gone. Just think, in December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles, they had picked up 14 Senate seats and 52 House seats. The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. However, in just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the House - if not the Senate - back to the Republicans.
Obama has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Sadly, every generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. Obama is bringing home the lesson very well:
Liberals tax, borrow and spend.
Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America.
Liberals want to take over the economy.
Liberals think they know what is best for everyone.
Liberals are not happy until they are running YOUR life.
Obama has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year, he has rejuvenated the Conservative Movement and brought out to the streets millions of freedom loving Americans. Name one other time when you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America!
Obama, with his "amazing leadership," has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded, or moved off-shore.
In all honesty, one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not afraid of the economy, but afraid of the direction our country was going. I thought, Americans have forgotten what this country is all about. My neighbors and friends, even strangers, have proved to me that my lack of confidence in the greatness and wisdom of the American people has been flat wrong.
When the American people wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Barack Obama has served to wake up these great Americans!
Again, I want to say: "Thank you, Barack Obama!" After all, this is exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed!!
Vote to save America and change the direction Obama has us headed on. Vote the Socialist and Liberals out of office...send them home!

Obama Care and Taxes
Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax? The bulk of these new taxes don't kick in until 2013 (presumably after obama’s re-election). You can thank Nancy, Harry and Barack and your local Democrat Congressman for this one. If you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to screw the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. Is this Hope & Change great or what? Does this stuff makes your November and 2012 votes more important?
Oh, you weren't aware this was in the obamacare bill? Guess what, you aren't alone. There are more than a few members of Congress that aren't aware of it either (result of clandestine midnight voting for huge bills they've never read). AND, there are a few other surprises lurking

Government to control all business
That is what Maxine Waters said. She started to say socialize but then stopped, regrouped and just said that government would take over and control all your business. This is the agenda of the liberal democrats and if you don’t kick them out of office in the next election…you are agreeing with them and their goal of destroying America as we know it.

What is your congressman doing about health care?
During a rare weekend vote, the House of Representatives, late at night passed H.R. 3962, the Democrat $1.3 trillion government takeover of health care. Congressman Hastings opposed this legislation along with 39 Democrats and all but one House Republicans.
"If signed into law, this bill will result in a government takeover of our health care. This bill means taxes will be raised, health care costs will increase, Medicare will be cut, choices will be eliminated, the national debt will go up, businesses will lay off employees, and access to quality health care will decrease. Our Republican alternative would have lowered health care costs while protecting jobs and preserving the doctor-patient relationship. Unfortunately this common sense solution was rejected by the Democrats that control in favor of a plan that puts the federal government in charge of where, when, if and how Americans get health care."
"Rather than penalizing already-struggling small businesses, Congress must make it easier for them to afford health benefits. We must increase choices, make health costs tax deductible, expand health savings accounts, end waste fraud and abuse and control unnecessary lawsuits that drive up costs for everyone. I support reform that lets Americans keep their doctor, lowers costs, and keeps medical decisions between the patient and their doctor."
"The Democrat bill arbitrarily bars doctors from opening new doctor-owned hospitals, including the 124 that are currently under construction, and severely restricts the 235 existing doctor-owned hospitals like the Wenatchee Valley Medical Center in my district from expanding their services. We are headed down a very dangerous road when the federal government is getting in the business of deciding who can and who cannot own a hospital."
"There is a better solution than a government takeover of health care - and it doesn't involve penalizing hospitals, raising taxes or cutting Medicare. The plan I support focuses on lowing costs by expanding health care choices and tools to help families save, making it easier for small businesses to afford to offer care, ending lawsuit abuse, and protecting the doctor-patient relationship from government intrusion."
What is your congressman doing about health care? Please call and write your representatives, Obama must not succeed in turning America into a total socialist country!

Humbled to be an American
Our Presidents, our founding fathers of this the greatest nation the world has ever seen…where are the men like this today?
I have had the opportunity to visit Gettysburg and reflect on the sacrifice of the men on both sides of that war. Men who fought and died for what they believed in. It is a place that all Americans need to visit and understand that this was not a video game, not just a couple pages in a book, not about good vs evil, right vs wrong or even a war over slavery. It was very much a war over states rights and government control. Even though most agreed that Slavery in America needed to be ended, the how and means to that end was fought over. I contend that the men on both sides fought for their beliefs. South opposed a national government that was imposing it’s view and agenda on individual states. The President, Abraham Lincoln knew that he had to keep the nation together as the United States at all cost.
Our leaders, our presidents, our hero’s and the men that we look to as our founding fathers, builders and defenders of this nation, all have had the same qualities.
They were men of deep honor. Men that had seen and lived under the oppression and tyranny of an all controlling government system. Men guided by their Christian beliefs. Men whose personality and resolve was founded in those beliefs and the idea that government best services it’s population by not restricting the people. They believed in limiting the power and scope of government. The writers of the constitution understood how an all powerful central government system can imprison the governed by taking away self initiative and addicting them to hand outs/programs.
Look at just a few Presidents whose words and actions contributed to this great nation. They were men of the land, men that worked hard and knew the value of physical labor. Men who did not seek the office for their personal gratification. Men who the people looked to and asked to help lead the nation. Men who served because of honor and duty to the country. Men who had strong families, mother and fathers and religious beliefs that gave them a moral compass very early in their lives. They never viewed themselves as career politicians. Never did the seek the office for financial rewards or book deals.
George Washington; he was a surveyor, a farmer, a soldier and the 1st President of the United States, His wisdom was forged in experience as a military leader. He fought against the tyranny of an overbearing out of touch government that had strict controls over the people it governed. His leadership in the war helped free the American People to develop a government that was limited in its scope, power and ability to interfere in a citizens affairs.
Thomas Jefferson; the 3rd President if the United States was a very educated man, speaking and writing 7 languages. A man of honor and conviction, he would not live under the thumb of a repressive, controlling government. Being the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776) and one of the most influential Founding Fathers for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States. Major events during his presidency include the Louisiana Purchase (1803) and the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806). As a political philosopher, Jefferson was a man of the Enlightenment and knew many intellectual leaders in Britain and France. He idealized the independent yeoman farmer as exemplar of republican virtues, distrusted cities and financiers, and favored states' rights and a strictly limited federal government
Theodore Roosevelt; "No man can lead a public career really worth leading, no man can act with rugged independence in serious crises, nor strike at great abuses, nor afford to make powerful and unscrupulous foes, if he is himself vulnerable in his private character."An Autobiography, 1913
Ronald Reagan; As president, Reagan implemented sweeping new political and economic initiatives. His supply-side economic policies advocated reduced business regulation, controlling inflation, reducing growth in government spending, and spurring economic growth through tax cuts. Reagan had a large role in contributing to the downfall of the Soviet Union is collectively agreed that Reagan's defense policies, hard line rhetoric against the Soviet Union and Communism, as well as summits with General Secretary Gorbachev played a significant part in ending the War. He was notable amongst post-World War II presidents as being convinced that the Soviet Union could be defeated rather than simply negotiated with, a conviction that was vindicated by Gennadi Gerasimov, the Foreign Ministry spokesman under Gorbachev, who said that Star Wars was "very successful blackmail.
All of the above Leaders were God fearing men, had strong moral values, were devoted to their families and raised by a strong father.
Look at the contrast that we have in office today.
Look at the past Presidents words and actions that have failed Americans by taking their self responsibility away. Politicians/attorneys who sought to expand government, citizens dependence on government and the programs it developed. Men who took away responsibilities of family and self support for the idea that government could do better. All of their propaganda programs and lies have lead to where we are today.
Barack Hussein Obama, has valid questions to whether or not he is a natural born American and the issue is clouded in fraudulent documents. His father left his white mother and stayed in his native country until he died in Kenyan. Barack called his father a drunk and bigot. Barack has no back ground in business nor has he ever labored for a living at any time in his life. He has had friends, advisors and even a leader in faith that have verbally attacked the USA and even have ties to terrorist that would destroy our county. His wife said that for the 1st time in her life, she was proud of America, this was after her husband was elected. Barack has traveled abroad and apologized for the United States of America to our enemies, enemies that have swore to wipe Christianity off the face of the earth. Barack Hussein Obama who said that this is no longer a Christian Nation…physically bows down in front of Americas enemies. He appoints Gays to run the national school system. He appoints confessed communist and men with terrorist ties to the highest positions in his administration. He takes over an private business and appoints his own CEO. He is attempting to control ¼ of the US economy with a mandatory health care system. His administration is placing limits on how much an American citizen can earn. Obama is using the power of the federal government to limit the freedoms that so many have fought and died for to attain and defend.
The news each day continues to amaze and disappoint me; Obamas attacks free speech, attacks a privately operated news reporting agency, the FOX news network. The continued promotion of the Obama health care plan that is nothing short of a government take over and intrusion/limitation of individual rights. Obamas friends Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are attacking Rush Limbaugh with allegations based on their political views with the sole goal being to stop a private venture of a citizen of the USA.
The Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California signing a into law a bill that restricts the 2nd amendment (effectively banning online and catalog sales of firearms and ammunition) of the United States and beware, as California goes…so goes the nation.
Beware an all powerful government and a President with a vision of a one world government!
I have had the opportunity to visit Gettysburg and reflect on the sacrifice of the men on both sides of that war. Men who fought and died for what they believed in. It is a place that all Americans need to visit and understand that this was not a video game, not just a couple pages in a book, not about good vs evil, right vs wrong or even a war over slavery. It was very much a war over states rights and government control. Even though most agreed that Slavery in America needed to be ended, the how and means to that end was fought over. I contend that the men on both sides fought for their beliefs. South opposed a national government that was imposing it’s view and agenda on individual states. The President, Abraham Lincoln knew that he had to keep the nation together as the United States at all cost.
Our leaders, our presidents, our hero’s and the men that we look to as our founding fathers, builders and defenders of this nation, all have had the same qualities.
They were men of deep honor. Men that had seen and lived under the oppression and tyranny of an all controlling government system. Men guided by their Christian beliefs. Men whose personality and resolve was founded in those beliefs and the idea that government best services it’s population by not restricting the people. They believed in limiting the power and scope of government. The writers of the constitution understood how an all powerful central government system can imprison the governed by taking away self initiative and addicting them to hand outs/programs.
Look at just a few Presidents whose words and actions contributed to this great nation. They were men of the land, men that worked hard and knew the value of physical labor. Men who did not seek the office for their personal gratification. Men who the people looked to and asked to help lead the nation. Men who served because of honor and duty to the country. Men who had strong families, mother and fathers and religious beliefs that gave them a moral compass very early in their lives. They never viewed themselves as career politicians. Never did the seek the office for financial rewards or book deals.

Signs of Tyranny
My good friend asked me to review a public speech he was going to give in Washington State.
You must read this article in its entirety. He has quotes you MUST read!
Allen is around 60 years old, served in Vietnam and earned 2 silver stars while fighting for the citizens of this great land.
He loves this country and as all military personal, gave and oath to protect this nation against danger, foreign and domestic.
Read this whole letter and then send this blog by clicking on page (top right), send link by e-mail, and send this to your friends;
Our Constitution was crafted by one of the greatest gatherings of conservative leaders in history. They desired a form of government which would protect and preserve “individual freedoms” and which would guarantee a federal government with strict limits on what it was allowed to do, with all other powers reserved for the individual states and the people.
There are many things that differentiate between the freedoms this country enjoyed over the first 175 years and the creeping tyranny of today. We are closer to tyranny now than we are to the freedoms codified in the greatest political document ever created by man.
The three core freedoms for every person are life, liberty and property.
LIFE – Each and every living person has the right to life. No one should be permitted to take that away without due process and the rule of law.
LIBERTY - No person should be forced into servitude or slavery for another.
PROPERTY – Each person must be secure in their property.
If any one of these core freedoms is diminished, it is a sign of approaching tyranny. We have seen massive erosion of these freedoms, even if it has largely been unseen by most of the citizens of this country. This slow ‘nibbling away at the edges’ has gone on for almost 85 years. It has been so slow that several generations have gone by; each maybe with some vague unease about the direction of our government. However, because there were no close examinations of the details, or realization of the long term consequences, no alarm has been raised.
Here are a few of the disturbing sign that are now mostly overlooked:
1. During the beginning of Roosevelt’s “New Deal”, the president wanted to pass legislation to give money and benefits to a vastly expanded population of ‘deserving’ people. In order to do this, his new laws had to pass constitutional muster. The Supreme Court ruled time after time that they were not constitutional. Roosevelt threatened to ‘pack the court’, that is, increase the number of Justices from the original nine to however many it took to get a liberal majority. With Democrat control of the other two branches, the Justices caved, and allowed the new socialist laws to stand.
2. The Roosevelt administration wanted total control on wheat production, pricing, and distribution. Because most wheat was shipped across state lines, he used the “Commerce Clause” of the Constitution as an excuse to put these laws into place. When a small farmer refused to comply with the new laws, because he only grew enough for use by his own family, he was successfully sued by the government and the ruling was upheld by the courts, on the farfetched argument that the use of his own wheat somehow impacted national commerce (since he didn’t have to buy wheat – thereby affecting other commerce).
3. In the name of helping seniors save for their retirement and of ‘doing good for widows and the destitute’, the Social Security program was formed. Good intentions are never proper reasons to take by force property from one person and give it to another.
4. More recently, in the case of Kelo, private residential property was taken under the rule of “imminent domain’ and given to a developer, another private entity, under the misguided notion that ‘good of the community’ would be served, because more property taxes would be paid to the city of Kelo by the shopping mall.
5. In the Klamath basin of Oregon, the government refused water for farmers to irrigate their fields to ‘protect’ some obscure sucker fish. In California, one of the most fertile valleys in the world is drying up and hundreds of thousands of people are facing economic ruin, again because government bureaucrats have deemed some ‘endangered’ minnow species might be harmed by these farmers growing much of the vegetable crops for the United States and the world. These unwarranted actions have destroyed the economic value of the farmers’ property and forced thousands to become jobless.
6. More and more laws are passed by Congress, but the details are left to an ever expanding mass of bureaucrats, who are not accountable, who have job protection. These faceless, ‘in-the-shadows’ people essentially continue on their way to legislating ‘social justice’, regardless of what party is in power. “Social justice”, as defined in the liberal mind, can never be achieved, because it means ‘equal results’. There can never be equal results, only equal opportunity. The results are the products of many things, such as natural ability, hard work, thrift, etc. The only way ‘social justice’ can be achieved, in the liberal mindset, is to take from those who produce and give to those who do not. The only way this can be done is to use the force of government.
There are glaring differences between a democratic republic and a socialist state:
1. When President Obama declares that “We need to ‘spread the wealth’.”, when talking to a blue collar worker, he is advocating a socialist agenda.
2. When a small democratic country removes a sitting president who committed acts of treason, on the orders of its Supreme Court and Congress, but the Obama administration joins the dictator lead countries of Cub and Venezuela and declares it a ‘military coup’, he becomes an enemy of freedom and displays his strong support for socialism.
Now, with the present administration, there is a wholesale assault on our remaining liberties.
1. When the leader of a country has legislation introduced, which is not allowed to be read by the legislative body or the people, Tyranny is just over the horizon.
2. When legislation is introduced which will determine who can receive life-saving procedures or medication, Tyranny is drawing near.
3. When crushing tax burdens are levied on citizens, in the name of “Saving the Planet” from non-existent threats, Tyranny is just around the corner.
4. The Obama administration ignored the Constitution and over 220 years of bankruptcy precedent to put the UAW, and other junior, unsecured creditors ahead of senior secured creditors in the Obama-forced bankruptcy of Chrysler. When the government trashes the Constitution and the rule of law by giving a non-investor firm, Fiat 15% of Chrysler, Tyranny is next door.
5. When legislation contains over 9,000 ear-marks, giving bribes and payoff money to special interests, and making no attempt to hide the graft and corruption it entails, Tyranny is at hand.
6. When the government confiscates more and more property in the form of taxes and fees, the tax payers become economic slaves.
7. When elected government officials receive special benefits, special status, special treatment, and are not subject to the laws which apply to the rest of the nation, they become the new American Royalty, and we become their serfs.
8. When an excessive number of laws, rules and regulations are put into place, no person can be secure in his core freedoms. This allows the government to fabricate charges against anyone for almost any reason. Harvey Silverglate makes this case very well in his recent book, “Three Felonies A Day”.
There have been three great works detailing the evils of socialism, and the tendency for it to slowly encroach upon a republic until a dictatorship is formed. These are:
“The Law” – by Frederic Bastiat in 1850
“The Road To Serfdom” – by F.A. Hayek in 1948
“Liberty and Tyranny” – by Mark Levin in 2009
It is quickly seen how they all describe the same movement from freedom, to socialism, to economic slavery, even though they are written 150 years apart.
In my opinion, Tyranny has already arrived, although in a temporary ‘soft’ form. If we do not turn back the liberal, socialist, statist assault, we will soon be reduced to a ‘Banana Republic” and ruled by a dictator, because the good intentions of some misguided people to ensure ‘equality’ for all, will end up putting chains of slavery on everyone.

"A wise prince will seek means by which his subjects will always and in every possible condition of things have need of his government, and then they will always be faithful to him." -- Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527)
"Every new regulation concerning commerce or revenue; or in any manner affecting the value of the different species of property, presents a new harvest to those who watch the change and can trace its consequences; a harvest reared not by themselves but by the toils and cares of the great body of their fellow citizens." -- James Madison (likely), Federalist No. 62
"It is sufficiently obvious, that persons and property are the two great subjects on which Governments are to act; and that the rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted. These rights cannot well be separated." -- James Madison, Speech at the Virginia Convention, December 2, 1829
"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the laws of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence. If `Thou shalt not covet' and `Thou shalt not steal' were not commandments of Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free." -- John Adams, A Defense of the American Constitutions, 1787
"An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation." -- John Marshall
"I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on the objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents." -- James Madison
Probably most Americans would have a clearer conscience if all the neighbors were forced to put money in a government pot and a government agency would send the widow a weekly sum of $40 to hire someone to mow her lawn. This mechanism makes the particular victim invisible but it still boils down to one person being forcibly used to serve the purposes of another. Putting the money into a government pot makes palatable acts that would otherwise be deemed morally offensive. This is why socialism is evil. It employs evil means, coercion or taking the property of one person, to accomplish good ends, helping one's fellow man." --George Mason University economics professor Walter E. Williams
“Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis warned, ‘The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.’ The freedom of individuals from compulsion or coercion never was, and is not now, the normal state of human affairs. The normal state for the ordinary person is tyranny, arbitrary control and abuse mainly by their own government. While imperfect in its execution, the founders of our nation sought to make an exception to this ugly part of mankind’s history. Unfortunately, at the urging of the American people, we are unwittingly in the process of returning to mankind’s normal state of affairs. Americans demand that Congress spend trillions of dollars on farm subsidies, business bailouts, education subsidies, Social Security, Medicare and prescription drugs and other elements of a welfare state. The problem is that Congress produces nothing. Whatever Congress wishes to give, it has to first take other people’s money. Thus, at the root of the welfare state is the immorality of intimidation, threats and coercion backed up with the threat of violence by the agents of the U.S. Congress. In order for Congress to do what some Americans deem as good, it must first do evil. It must do that which if done privately would mean a jail sentence; namely, take the property of one American to give to another... There is no question that if one were to ask whether we Americans are moving towards more liberty or more government control over our lives, the answer would unambiguously be the latter—more government control over our lives.” —Walter Williams
“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.” -Winston Churchill
“The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is... legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay... If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.” — Frederic Bastiat
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - - Norman Matton Thomas, Six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America, 1884-1963
“I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.” - - Norman Matton Thomas
"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." -- James Madison

“Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis warned, ‘The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding.’ The freedom of individuals from compulsion or coercion never was, and is not now, the normal state of human affairs. The normal state for the ordinary person is tyranny, arbitrary control and abuse mainly by their own government. While imperfect in its execution, the founders of our nation sought to make an exception to this ugly part of mankind’s history. Unfortunately, at the urging of the American people, we are unwittingly in the process of returning to mankind’s normal state of affairs. Americans demand that Congress spend trillions of dollars on farm subsidies, business bailouts, education subsidies, Social Security, Medicare and prescription drugs and other elements of a welfare state. The problem is that Congress produces nothing. Whatever Congress wishes to give, it has to first take other people’s money. Thus, at the root of the welfare state is the immorality of intimidation, threats and coercion backed up with the threat of violence by the agents of the U.S. Congress. In order for Congress to do what some Americans deem as good, it must first do evil. It must do that which if done privately would mean a jail sentence; namely, take the property of one American to give to another... There is no question that if one were to ask whether we Americans are moving towards more liberty or more government control over our lives, the answer would unambiguously be the latter—more government control over our lives.” —Walter Williams
“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.” -Winston Churchill
“The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is... legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay... If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.” — Frederic Bastiat
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of “liberalism” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - - Norman Matton Thomas, Six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America, 1884-1963
“I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform.” - - Norman Matton Thomas
"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." -- James Madison

Is Obama the Supreme Ruler?
Follow the Mad American Blog at http://madamericanclub.blogspot.com/
I promise you will find it informative, interesting and engaging on many topics. Anyway that is what they said at http://www.everythingwestern.net/ before I was asked to move because I was taking up so much room.
This new club will continue to provide information and yet will focus mostly on the ranting and ravings of a Mad American.
Your replies to the topics and your comments are greatly appreciated. I also want to thank all my friends for their e-mails an insight into politics.
Will the weakness of the Obama administration lead US into a world war?
Obama views are stark contrast to Ronald Regan’s strength. History has proven Regan’s policies to be correct and yet Obama is doing just the opposite of a proven result. Ronald Regan gave us the longest peace time prosperity we have known and below are just some of his known views;
'Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.'
'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.'
'No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.'
'If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.'
Today we have the policy of Barack Hussein Obama. This policy of weakness is based on his attitude of appeasement toward the enemy’s of this country and will lead us into a new war.
We see it in the report from the General in Afghanistan where he said he needs more support or the mission will be doomed for failure and our brave men and women in uniform will have sacrificed their lives in vain.
Mr. Obama does not follow the advice of his own appointee but instead is dooming the US for failure.
We see Obama’s lack of back bone in how he address our enemy’s and deals with confrontations.
We see it in the attitude and total distain that the Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has for the USA and Israel. This man has openly denied that the holocaust ever happened. This is the same man that Obama congratulated and wants to be friends with. (Ahmadinejad told an anti-Israel rally in Tehran that the Holocaust was "a false pretext to create Israel" and said confronting the regime is a "national and religious duty.")
Obama is silent … he does not want to upset his Muslim friends.
His lack of response is to deny history and empower a crazy man that wants to kill us all!
Obama has closed Guantanamo and released prisoners, whose goals are to destroy the USA. Obama did this to please the Muslim nations without regards to our own safety and best interest.
Obama released memos about CIA methods of extracting information from enemy prisoners. This decision has been sharply criticized by several former intelligence leaders, including former CIA director Michael V. Hayden, who said the revelations could undermine future U.S. intelligence operations. Obama, however, in his 10-minute speech to CIA employees, cited "exceptional circumstances" that led to his decision to make them public. You know what those circumstances are? HE HAS NO BACK BONE! That is why!
Now your President Obama made clear he has no plans to overrule Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to open an investigation into whether CIA agents under the Bush administration crossed the legal line while interrogating terror suspects. Obama gave Holder leeway to investigate even after seven former CIA directors wrote Obama a letter urging him to stop the probe.
Are you starting to get the picture here?
Obama apologizes (in his would tour) for all that the United States stands for. Promises to work with and promote relations with enemy’s of the US and refuses any advice from people that have experience.
Yes, experience, something Obama does not have, unless you consider working in a soup kitchen as foreign policy or military experience.
Understand this; Russia, China and North Korea continue to build up their military programs. Iran and Pakistan continue to develop their nuclear programs, as the USA under the guidance of Obama, continues to dismantle our own defense systems.
Is Obama attempting to put the USA in a submissive position so that we have no choice anymore but to except his views and his new world order?
Obama continues to destroy America from within.
He has interfered with the free market system of the United States by buying GM and then firing it’s CEO and installing his man that has no back ground in the auto industry. Then your President steals 2 billion more dollars from the tax payers for a cash for clunkers program that uses more government money to increase sales of the auto maker he just bought. Now there is a business man! Or…as history would indicate, this is a push towards socialism.
That is hard to argue when his full focus now is on the government taking full control of the health care system.
Obama has shifted U.S. policy on climate change.
Obama is unlikely to see a global climate-change agreement materialize at the summit in Copenhagen later this year. Yet, he continues to give away our rights, our freedom and our safety for what end?
I understand that I was all over the place today but I want you to think about this question;
Is Obama really going to push for a one world government?
He sure is weakening the USA...bringing us down to a more level playing field internationally and setting himself up to be loved by all as the supreme ruler!

News about ObamaCare
Below is a letter from Jeanette Nordstrom, National Center for Policy Analysis;
Friends -
Thank you for your support of the "Free Our Health Care NOW!" petition. More than 870,000 Americans have joined you in saying "NO!" to the federal government becoming their health care provider. We now have a tremendous opportunity! The probable delay in the vote until September in Congress allows you to use the tools available below in "What can you do about this?" to educate everyone you know.
Your continued support is crucial in the fight against nationalized health care. In the last week, the proponents of nationalized health care have continued to champion legislation which will increase cost, limit choice and decrease quality of your health care. Please continue to tell your network, friends and family that government-run health care is a threat to the quality of their health.
The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that ObamaCare will cost over $1 trillion. Notwithstanding President Obama's promise to oppose legislation "if that reform adds even one dime to our deficit over the next decade," the CBO estimates that recent House proposals will increase government spending by $1.04 trillion. Additionally, as for the Administration's most recent cost-savings plan - to create an independent advisory council to set Medicare fees - the CBO concluded that "the probability is high that no savings would be realized".
ObamaCare will dramatically reduce the choices you have over the cost and quality of your health insurance plan. Here's how:
ObamaCare will create an artificial market called a Health Insurance Exchange. The mandates the Exchange imposes will reject plans that don't 'measure-up' to the federal government's expectations for health care plans. As a result, millions of Americans will be forced to abandon their current plans and to accept a plan that they do not want or need.
Additionally, ObamaCare will create a board of bureaucrats empowered to define which health benefits are "essential". However, these "essential" benefits may exclude health care which most Americans and their doctors believe are essential - such as MRI scans and blood tests.
The bottom line: Under ObamaCare, Americans will face higher taxes and receive less take-home pay - all for a health insurance plan that forces them to pay for benefits they do not want and refuses to pay for procedures their doctor may recommend.
What can you do about this?
Use the Action Pack http://actionpack.ncpa.org to sign the petition, to print the petition or to access our Learning/Teaching Tools about health care so that you can educate your friends, family and neighbors.
Send NCPA Health Care Solutions to everyone. http://www.ncpa.org/pdfs/Health_Care_Solutions_072909.pdf

Send a copy of the proposed government-run plan to your lists http://docs.house.gov/gopleader/House-Democrats-Health-Plan.pdf
Thank you again for your support of the "Free Our Health Care NOW!" and for fighting against nationalized health care.

"It Will Destroy Health Care in This Nation"
Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), a doctor in the real world, gives a good description of the majority's health care destruction bill in these comments delivered to his fellow members of the House Education and Labor Committee. Following Price's heated exchange with Committee Chairman George Miller (D-CA) over something Price says Speaker Pelosi said and Miller says she didn't, my favorite part is Price saying this: "You know what [the American people] will have access to? They have access to an opportunity to get in line. They'll be able to get in line." Price also said, flatly, that the House Democrats' bill "will destroy health care in this nation."
President Obama's dream of dramatically remaking the nation's health-care system is virtually certain: For the first time ever, every American would be required to carry health insurance.
The requirement, known as an individual mandate, is among the most far-reaching changes envisioned this year by those pushing for health-care reform. Obama continued Tuesday to push lawmakers struggling with the large costs and scope of health legislation to move forward, pronouncing reform to be "closer than ever."
I say this; ARE YOU SCARED YET?
Obama and his cohorts want to have total control of your life from cradle to grave. The big problem you should have with this is, the grave will be getting closer and the line there will be shorter! How can anyone want to totally reform the best health care system in the world? If you want to fix some of the problems with the cost of programs, keep government out, don’t let them have total control
