There is scope for debate – and innumerable newspaper quizzes – about who was the most influential public figure of the year, or which the most significant event. But there can be little doubt which word won the prize for most important adjective. 2009 was the year in which “global” swept the rest of the political lexicon into obscurity. There were “global crises” and “global challenges”, the only possible resolution to which lay in “global solutions” necessitating “global agreements”. Gordon Brown actually suggested something called a “global alliance” in response to climate change. (Would this be an alliance against the Axis of Extra-Terrestrials?)
Some of this was sheer hokum: when uttered by Gordon Brown, the word “global”, as in “global economic crisis”, meant: “It’s not my fault”. To the extent that the word had intelligible meaning, it also had political ramifications that were scarcely examined by those who bandied it about with such ponderous self-importance. The mere utterance of it was assumed to sweep away any consideration of what was once assumed to be the most basic principle of modern democracy: that elected national governments are responsible to their own people – that the right to govern derives from the consent of the electorate.
Sen. Whitehouse: foes of health care bill are birthers, right-wing militias, aryan groups
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) today took shots at those who are not supporting the health care legislation. During a floor speech, he excoriated Senate GOP members for up holding the pending health care bill and accused their supporters of being birthers and fanatics in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups. He started off by citing an editorial from the Manchester Journal Inquirer, which used insults like “lunatic fringe.”:
For the past few days, I’ve received loads of emails urging me to get active regarding the healthcare vote – most of which had a subject line similar to: “Last Chance to Stop National Healthcare!”
Well, if you believe the only way to protect your rights is by begging federal politicians to do what you want, then these emails are certainly right. The vote went as expected, and so will the next.
So if you think marching on D.C. or calling your Representatives, or threating to “throw the bums out” in 2010 or 2012 or 20-whatever, is going to further the cause of the Constitution and your liberty – you might as well get your shackles on now. Your last chance has come and gone.
Kremlin position papers presented to Prime Minister Putin today on his upcoming meeting with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen state that the European-US military alliance has authorized an ‘emergency request’ from President Obama to utilize American and Canadian NATO troops to put down what is expected to be a “rebellion” after the expected January, 2010 ‘declaration of bankruptcy’ by the State of California.
Foreign Troops spotted wearing NORTHCOM uniforms seen in Mississippi
A source inside the MS Militia that is also in the US ARMY has Confirmed that several buses with blacked out windows delivered approx 250 -300 Troops some in NORTHCOM uniforms others in Pakistani, Turkish, and Russian uniforms. The troops were delivered to Camp Shelby in MS on December 17 2009. Another witness asked why they were here and he was told that he did not need to know.
President Obama’s Saturday radio address was almost mystifying in its arrogance and hypocrisy. His own words underscore the need for the Read the Bills Act.
Please tell Congress to delay passing healthcare legislation until the people have had a chance to read it. And tell them to pass the Read the Bills Act.
When the surreal becomes the news
No job? No health care? Worried about your retirement? (i.e. ending up old, sick and broke)
No worries
The Department of Defense is hiring.
Why?
Because endlessly expanding war is America’s new growth industry.
Here’s Fox News shilling for the military, gushing about what a great employer it is:
- Confidential online mental health assessment.
- Free “stress reduction” programs for children at Fort Bliss?
- “If you love, travel this is definitely for you.”
Illegal: forbidden by law or statute
The outlaws in Congress are gearing up for a new amnesty push to reward criminals for breaking our laws by smuggling themselves into our country, stealing our jobs and draining resources (medical, education, law enforcement). Ethically bankrupt individuals like Sens. Harry Reid, Juan McCain and Reps. Joe Baca and Luis Gutierrez will be the ring leaders in this upcoming battle.
Political correctness and outright cowardice in dealing with the invasion of close to 20 MILLION illegal aliens, regardless of country of origin, has brought nothing but misery and pain to this nation. It hasn’t mattered one bit to these professional politicians that the word illegal means forbidden by law.
It hasn’t mattered one bit to federal judges who have ruled that criminals who break our laws have some sort of “right” to free health care, free education and other financial benefits paid for by the sweat of your labor. Those federal judges should have been impeached by Congress. Instead, their rulings have wrecked havoc on our people and nation while Congress has sat on their corrupt backsides and done nothing.
Muslims In 21st Century America: Muslim Mafia Operates With Impunity
Slow, methodical, disciplined, meticulous injection of Islam into America
Islam contributed not one iota to the U.S. Constitution. In fact, if our founding fathers followed Islam, this nation would be ruled by theocratic Sharia Law. Women would enjoy less status than their husbands’ dogs. Everyone would be mandated to bow to Mecca five times a day. Islam does not allow freedom of religion, freedom of thought or women’s rights. It demands total submission to all within its power. It rules by fear.
Most Americans do not hold a clue as to Islam’s systematic incursion into the United States. In 1990, a total of 100,000 Muslims made less than a ripple within America. But, because of the late Senator Teddy Kennedy’s corruption of immigration and aided by our U.S. Congress, today, Muslims number from eight to nine million.
They enclave as they push regular Americans out of cities and towns across America. Detroit, Michigan suffers 600,000 Middle Eastern immigrants. Notice it also suffers 50 percent illiteracy and a 76 percent dropout rate from their high schools. They find themselves better served by sticking together with their religion, language and customs. They work against every aspect of ‘assimilating’ into America.
Paris, France – Ben Bernanke is Time’s “Man of the Year.” Reading the commentary, it is clear that the popular press has even less of an idea of what is going on than Bernanke himself.
The more we think about it, the more our jaw drops. In Copenhagen this week, a large group of apparatchiks and hacks got together to discuss a “climate deal.” There, Hillary Clinton pledged US support to a plan to spend $1 trillion to try to influence the earth’s climate. Governments can do many things, but can they really improve the weather? There is no evidence for it. Not even a respectable theory.
In Washington, meanwhile, Ben Bernanke is spending trillions to try to improve the economy. Can he really do that? Again, there’s no evidence for it.
The depression continues…
We never had it so good – right?
I thought it might – just might – be a parody, a spoof, a weak attempt at irony. But no, it turns out that Nick Gillespie, the former editor of Reason magazine, and now chief honcho over at something called “ReasonTV,” is absolutely and incredibly serious about his contention that We Never Had It So Good. And why, pray tell, are we supposedly so blessed? Well, it seems that nerdy geeky-looking white kids now have some really really cool computer games to play, while their parents make the rounds looking for work during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. And – hey look! – we have Netflix, not to mention all those hundreds of new television stations: the vast wasteland has assumed continental proportions. Hurrah! And computers are here, they’re inexpensive, and the government can spy on us oh so much more efficiently now than ever before. Isn’t progress wonderful? I’m sure Dr. Pangloss would agree.
With the phony Senator Ben Nelson’s (D-NE) vote now secured, the Senate and its tyrannical leader Barack Hussein Obama can finally move forward swiftly in its application of forced bondage upon the American people.
Nelson was a pretender to pro-life and anti-abortion measures and held back his “yes” vote on the not-even-completely-written Senate version of ObamaCare until he was also offered—as were other Senators—a huge bribe (with monies from American taxpayers) to secure his being on board with the rest of the Senate’s corrupt members. Nelson’s bribe was that the federal government will—into perpetuity—cover any and all Medicaid expansion costs for the state of Nebraska. The other forty-nine states will be forced to pick up Nebraska’s portion of the bill.
Democrats deceptively argue that health care is legal under the commerce clause of the Constitution. The commerce clause relates to business, not individuals, but the Democrats have skewed the original purpose and intent of the Constitution.
When asked to point out where in the Constitution authority is granted to force an individual — ultimately at gunpoint — to buy government health care, Speaker of the House Pelosi said: “Are you serious?”
It is said Obama was a constitutional professor at the University of Chicago Law School (even this is a lie — he was in fact “a senior lecturer,” not a professor), so we should assume he has at least some knowledge of the principles of the Constitution. Obama likely knows that the Constitution does not mandate Americans be forced into a contractual agreement with a private party for health insurance.
Apparently, like his predecessor, Obama regards the Constitution as little more than a goddamn piece of paper.
The proof is now in the offing. Within the last three months, the FDA has unleashed its agents across the United States, visiting company after company. Our phones ring daily with stories of new FDA investigations. The agency is conducting more inspections of dietary supplement companies than ever before in the same time span……..
The Wall Street Journal brings more bad news. A headline reads “Lawmakers Weigh a Wall Street Tax.” The first mention of this was in October. The proposal has not died as Congress seeks new ways to finance its profligate spending. Both houses are considering legislation.
The tax would fall on financial exchanges of all kinds. It is not a tax on Wall Street. It is a tax on anyone who buys and sells securities.
James Tobin originated the notion in the 1970s. Larry Summers supported it. Robert Kuttner supports it. That’s three Keynesian economists right there. It must be a bad idea.
This weekend, please call your two Senators at least once before the 1am cloture vote which will occur very late Sunday night/Monday morning!
You have less than 48 hours to tell your Senators that despite the snowstorms and the holiday celebrations, you will be watching as they cast their cloture vote!
“I believe the support base for this kind of compassionate and comprehensive legislation is strong and far reaching, and I believe the votes are there to pass it. I have always said that immigration reform will not be easy; but it is time we had a workable plan working its way through Congress that recognizes the vast contributions of immigrants to this country and that honors the American Dream.” – Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL).
US Lawmakers who continue to call for immigration reform claimed at press conference and rally that the current economic debacle should not deter legislation legalizing illegal immigrants. The Congressmen have been actively talking to advocacy and civil rights groups, faith-based groups, labor groups and their colleagues on the Hill ¬– ¬particularly members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC), the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) — to identify the most essential components of such a comprehensive bill.
A coalition of Democrats led by Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez, Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Immigration Task Force, Rep. Nydia Velázquez, Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and Rep. Michael Honda, Chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus stated that fixing the immigration system can help American workers as well, although they fell short of actually spelling out how it would help American citizens.
The government take over of the US economy
This video was originally produced on January 8, 2000 by Walter Burien.
The government, at all levels, is running a very simple financial con game.
If something produces revenue – like bridges, highways, ports, or successful investments etc – that revenue goes into off budget slush funds.
If it costs money, it’s charged to the public via taxes.
This is being done at all levels of government – including state, county, city, and school districts.
The total “off budget” funds held by the various governments amount to trillions of dollars.
The real accounting is contained in what’s called Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR) which are not only not made available to the public, their very existence is never mentioned by the news media.
Why?
Trillions of dollars pays for a lot of corruption.
Every time an elected official stands before you and tells you the government is out of money and they have to raise taxes, he or she is lying through their teeth.
