Concepts for Conservatives

(Updated)

I am a conservative. I realize that a lot of people make that claim without having any real concept of what it means. I also realize that when made in the  presence of liberals such an admission brings scowls, scoffing or outright verbal attacks on one’s: parentage, intelligence, education or belief system.

Only by understanding the enemies of freedom and democracy can we win this battle against socialism. The  community agitator and author Saul Alinsky wrote a “book” entitled “Rules for Radicals” (Amazon.com ISBN # 0679721134, Be sure to read the reviews by readers). I am sure most of you have at least by now heard of it but wonder how many of you have studied it.

Sun Tzu in his treatise “The Art of War” stated:

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

To fight any battle without intelligence and information on the opposing force is just plain stupid.

Alinsky, himself, acknowledged that true change comes only with revolution. His book is a primer on how to foment that revolution and create class warfare. It was written specifically to cause dissent and encourage the “have-nots” to take every thing away from the “haves”. In other words to unite the takers and do nothings of the world to live off the sweat and labor of the productive.

Alinsky believed that capitalism was Machiavellian in nature, that if you were rich you got there by being devious and dishonest.

Alinsky like his acolytes Obama, Clinton, Davis, Ayers, and most of the current administration realized that they had to create change from inside the system. They had to agitate from within and then attack. They are still agitating and still attacking American ideals and principles!

The first step in community organization is community disorganization.

Alinsky’s rules were guidelines that had to be fluid and changeable according to the situation, much like Obama’s speeches.

Alinsky’s strategy was to bait and goad opponents into reacting. Diversion from the issues and blaming others. Well so far this has been Obama’s tactics also.

The current situation is not just a political exercise or cycle it is a war. Each action by the opposition is intended to be a battle for the hearts and minds of the un or ill informed. You must brace for it, be prepared. You must attempt to educate and prepare others so that they see through the smoke screens intentionally being deployed while they attempt back room deals and hidden agendas in Congressional Bills. We must all be ever vigilant and prepared to fight to hold on to the principles and ethics that this great Republic was founded on.

At least be aware of Alinsky’s basic rules so that you can spot them when they are applied. Arm yourselves with knowledge and spread the truth because there is nothing that they hate more than the truth. When they then start labeling you and calling you names you know that you have at least one small battle. The battle is on! Are you prepared for the War?

ObamaCare

 

Benjamin Disrael is accredited with saying, “There are three types of lies – lies, damn lies and statistics.

A few days ago I received an email from Matthew J. Cochran (www.justmatthewj.com).  He had mailed a list of “little gems from the Health Care Bill”. I guess the White House Secretary of Propaganda would call this “fishy”.

Matthew’s lists has talking points and references page numbers but he failed to tell us which copy or where we could check for ourselves the original document. I am sure this was just an oversight on his part, but it is important because the information on WH websites and other Government websites has been changing lately. The Administration wipes data, amends data and changes data constantly.

There is a PDF copy of H.R. 3200, the House Bill: 

To provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans and reduce the growth in health care spending, and for other purposes.

at the Energy and Commerce Committee’s website, there is a text version at Thomas.Gov, PDF at Education and Labor Committee’s website and a PDF copy at the Government Printing Office website. Plus if we are to believe even more amendments and revised bills working their way through the nightmarish system that our Legislators have created.

The preamble to this bill is funny in a black humor way.

A BILL
To provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans and reduce the growth in health care spending, and for other purposes.

That’s what they claim even after the Congressional Budget Office informed them that:

According to CBO’s and JCT’s assessment, enacting H.R. 3200 would result in a net increase in the federal budget deficit of $239 billion over the 2010-2019 period. That estimate reflects a projected 10-year cost of the bill’s insurance coverage provisions of $1,042 billion, partly offset by net spending changes that CBO estimates would save $219 billion over the same period, and by revenue provisions that JCT estimates would increase federal revenues by about $583 billion over those 10 years.

And those numbers do NOT include federal administration costs or how it will affect other government programs.

If you plan on going to a Town Hall Meeting, a Tea Party or any event where you might be talking about health care get informed, print out the facts and take them with you.

At the end of this article I have listed the data that I received from Matthew (some of what he has listed is the same as what is attributed to Peter Fleckenstein at his blog: hat tips to both), I have also listed a few other websites where you will see analysis of certain provisions of HR 3200.  I realize that any attempt to read the whole Bill will cause your eyes to glaze over so please feel free to take advantage of the research of others. Do not Google for this information. Google has a signed contract with the Federal Government, for “monitoring” and they are exempted from certain privacy laws. Also a Google search will give you all the great reasons to support Obama and every reason given is that they spend more money.

I have read the “lefty” blogs and the propaganda put out by the Administration. I have read how the Health Care Bill has been “written” or “influenced” by such organizations as Health Care for America Now (HCAN),MoveOn.Org, SEIU, Democracy For America. AFSCME, Annenberg Public Policy Center. I have read that George Soros is throwing money into this fight and trying to buy support (someone has to be paying for all those “grassroots” protestors). Soros is a greedy, greedy man who has never done anything without a plan for him to gain more money and more power. He actually feels this current bill is not enough of a move to a “single payer” system, but is supporting it as a stepping stone. He sees the end result, so why don’t freedom loving Americans?

Impeach Congress

After watching the fiasco in the House of Representatives and seeing the final vote even after the huge negative response from the public I feel it is time to impeach Congress.

Congress is supposed to be representing the people, not following the Machiavellian plans of a pretender puppet and his shadowy overseers.

The Constitution of the United States states clearly what Congress can and can’t do yet again and again they have overstepped their mandate and screwed the American voting public.

They have yet to validate that candidate Obama is even eligible for the Office that he is currently using to destroy America. Putting aside the issue of his birth certificate (or should I say his lack of one) and the fact that so far he has spent over one million dollars to hide his college records and other documents that would establish his bonafides the  Constitution prohibits any member of any State legislature from holding any elected National office if he has engaged in an insurrection or rebellion or given aid or comfort to the enemies of the United States.

Under Amendment 14 to the Constitution Congressmen like John Kerry are also ineligible for office, yet he is there. This North Vietnamese “hero of the revolution” is allowed over and over to run for office and change the laws of this Country, even though as a reserve naval office he violated his oath and openly joined demonstrations against American policies and then both he and his relatives profited financially from trade with the communist government.

Prior to being elected Obama tried to pressure the Iraqi government into bending to his way in order to influence American voters. Then we have the great one’s interference in Kenya’s internal politics, another Logan Act violation since what he was doing was speaking in opposition to US Government policies that were in effect at that time. Then we have his famous world tour in which he identified himself as a Senator and a candidate for President then proceeded to offer rhetoric in opposition to standing policies to foreigners in an attempt to sway foreign opinion against those American policies.The political thuggery that is now be practiced by this illegal administration is staggering. The illegal firing of Inspector Generals, the shutting down of criminal investigations against ACORN and other organizations friendly to the Administration, the appointment of “Czars” in violation of the Constitution (Czar is a title of monarchy, prohibited by the Constitution). These czars are being given unlimited powers and responsible only to this poser. Obama in remarks from Jordan  admits to his violation by stating that he was trying to influence the governments of Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, an influence that he was making in violation of the Logan Act. What Obama did on his World “Love Me” tour and on his recent “Apology” tour was to give aid and succor to America’s enemies.

But Congress’s failure to act on Obama’s ineligibility is but one of their egregious criminal acts. Section 4, Article IV of the Constitution says The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

So far they have done little to protect anyone against the invasion of 20 million (or more) illegals, instead members of Congress are doing all they can to get these criminals registered to vote and then buying these illegal votes with free handouts that legal citizens are footing the bill for!

Then we have this “cap and trade” bill which taxes energy. If you are asking yourself how is this illegal I refer you back to this document that so few of our elected officials seem to have read, the Constitution. Limits on Congress, Article 1, Section 9, “No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State.” This bill H.R.2454 was rammed through against the wishes of the American people, the Government’s own scientists have been muzzled or fired for speaking out against the false statistics and weird science which gave credence to the lies of “greenhouse gases”.

Energy regardless of how it is produced, (coal, oil, nuclear, wind, etc) that is manufactured in one State is being taxed by the Federal Government as it is “exported” to other States under this bill. This is illegal and in violation of the Constitution.

The Constitution also precludes favoritism between States by the Federal Government yet we see that favoritism consistently in the form of “earmarks” and this newest energy bill punishes adversely States that actually produce energy, which coincidentally most of them happen to be States that voted against Obama.

It is time to put into Congress people who: #1 Obey the Constitution, #2 Will do the will of the people, #3 Will stand up to the powers of darkness, and #4 Who are not there to line their own pockets.

IMPEACH CONGRESS NOW!

THROW THE BUMS OUT!

Government Sponsored Passive Euthanasia

 

How apropos that someone whose name is synonymous with a ghost should vote for a bill that denies medical care based upon value of the person.

God help the legions of Obamaites as they age and find out that the level of medical care they receive will be in direct proportion to how valuable they are to the government at that time.

At least for now Specter is valuable to the socialists but all that stands between him and his just rewards if he falls ill will be some low level government clerk who previously was employed by an HMO who can say NO. At that point Specter becomes a specter.

Secreted deep within the Porkulus bill are rules for health care as outlined by Betsy McCaughey’s commentary, Ruin your health with the Obama Stimulus Plan.

Will the Government next decide a maximum age for living ala the movie Logan’s Run.  We have already heard the words from the One. Substainable, with the current increases in population figures especially among the less educated this country’s resources can not sustain our current standard of living.

The green movement is already advocating only two children per household. This is working real well for China (sarcasm intended). China is a good example of government control from birth to death.

Senators voted for this bill without even completely reading it because the One is pushing hard. This bill was not written overnight. This bill has been months in creation. Long before the One was sworn in. It is hard to imagine that a bill this size could even have been written after the financial crisis hit.

This bill also allows the government to control your medical records. What this means is that if you have a gene that predisposes you to a disease…say ms or a coronary problem and you catch a virus the government gets to decide whether or not to cure you or let you die, because in the long run you MAY be a burden on the medical system.

The left cares nothing about the value of human life as demonstrated by their views on abortion. Under this bill they can do a genome test on a fetus and decide that it is not good economics to let the fetus be born. It’s the Government that will control and ration not only medical care but life.

So sit back in your comfy living room and dens, get your spoon fed news from the One, and learn to get on your knees to beg the Government for your daily bread.

Teacher Suspended for Not Giving Up Her Constitutional Rights

What the hell is wrong with this country?

A couple of things but one that I have noticed is “political correctness”. Political correctness should be known correctly as, socialist indoctrination language training. This training runs rampant throughout American culture. We have become so fearful of hurting an individual’s feelings that we are afraid to make them a friend. Thereby forcing groups apart by color, race, creed, religion, beliefs, disability, gender, etc.

The left-wing has you jumping at shadows; behind every gun is a maniac, behind every joke is racist, behind every gesture is someone out to get you… This is how the Left makes victims for without this step there could be no subjugation of the masses.

If you are curious as to why this rant occurred, it was because a teacher in Beaver Dam Wisconsin was suspended. Not for anything that occurred at school. Not for anything criminal. She was suspended “because a concerned teacher” notified the school superintendent that she possessed a gun, a file. Had she brought the weapon to school? No, she put a picture of her and it on her Facebook page.

Local TV Coverage Video

The teacher took down the picture and eventually her entire facebook page.

If you can’t beat them then slander them with B_______. It doesn’t matter just get the right thinking teacher regardless of their teaching ability out of the school systems so that the pantywaists, perverts, and other liberals may spread their tidings of gloom and doom and encourage all the students to think become like sheep. I deleted the phrase think because that’s the last thing liberals want anyone doing. Even in the Presidential questionnaire his vetting team is concerned if respondents own firearms. The Presidential Cabinet is being stacked with anti-gun personnel by an alleged President who believes the Constitution needs to be changed to reflect “modern” society.” I am sure the owning of a gun would get you removed the One’s list faster than something like, say, tax evasion or lying.

I believe every student should go thru a mandatory gun safety class in the first grade. This would alert them to the “realness” of a firearm and how to safely handle or not handle it. They should also be given the opportunity to fire a weapon, supervised on a range before the sixth grade. Dr. Spock was the epitasis for removing toy guns from children but the socialist liberals promoted it. Dr. Spock in later years repudiated almost all of his former beliefs but the damage was done.

The social liberals are worried, very worried about anyone who owns or can use a firearm. They are working hard to chip away everyone’s Second Amendment Rights. What are you doing to stand in their way?

Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest

Public education in America at all levels is responsible to _________. Can you fill in the blank? Unfortunately the American people who read and can understand this article are few.

John Stossel of ABC did a show on “Stupid in America“. In this show he investigates why “modern” education doesn’t work and why it cheats the children. He hammers home the point that there is no encouragement for teachers or schools to excel. The education system is tied to the socialist union programs.

Stossel outlines why the “monopoly” of public education is not competitive and why it continues to fail regardless of how much money is thrown at it. In his investigation he did not get into the indoctrination that is mandatory in public education. The requirements of school systems to teach socialist doctrines and socialist mores and the inability of schools to “protect” students.

Stossel has done other shows on the public education only to be attacked by teacher unions, the NEA and others who have a vested interest in not allowing the truth to be told.  FAIR (Fair and Accuracy In Reporting) jumps in whenever Stossel or any other reporter reports the truth. FAIR uses those reliable media sources as Media Matters for proving their point and everyone knows that their patron George Soros has no bias or agenda (sarcasm is intended).

Jay Leno’s jaywalking (see example here) is funny until you think about it and realize that most of the stupid answers are coming from college students or college graduates who will will soon be our industrial and political leaders. One of them could very easily become YOUR boss.  Rep. Nancy Pelosi  continues to astound us with her stupidiy (500 million Americans will lose their jobs) and we all remember that our current POTUS has traveled to “57 States with one left to go,” but  his staff wouldn’t let him go to Alaska or Hawaii. So he is stupid! But He is the One who is enlightened and will miraculously save America. He will control a transparent government, he will not have lobbyists in his cabinet (unless he chooses them). He and his staff prepared a  63 item questionnaire for all potential employees to assist in the vetting. Let me pick a few questions at random:

(5) Have you or your spouse ever registered as a lobbyist or other legislative agent to influence federal or state legislation or administrative acts? Have you or your spouse ever received payment for acting as a lobbyist or legislative agent? If so, please supply details.

(34) Have you and your spouse filed all required federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns?

(37) Has a tax lien or other collection procedure ever been instituted against you or your spouse by federal, state or local authorities? If so, describe the circumstances and the resolution of the matter.

(53) Do you presently have or have you in the past had occasional (to be sure, a monthly housekeeper is covered) or regular domestic help? (e.g., a housekeeper, babysitter, nanny or gardener) If yes, please indicate the name and years of service for each individual and also provide a brief description of the services rendered.

(55) Have you paid all taxes and social security obligations applicable to the employment of the individuals listed in Question 53? Do you use an outside service to pay such individuals? Have all payments related to the employment of these individuals been made in a timely fashion? If not, please identify the length and reason for the delay(s).

(56) Have you complied with all federal, state and local laws and regulations related to the employment of individuals listed in Question 53?

So from the above questions and the problems with Daschle, Killefer, Bill Richardson, and Geithner we see that there is a bigger problem than just what the public media is reporting on. It means these bastions of honesty in this “most ethical cabinet ever… lied to their messiah also. Everyone who submitted the questionnaires to the vetting group provided more information to them than Barack Hussein Obama provided the American public before (or after) he was elected.

Meanwhile back on the block…America snoozes.

The Future is a No Brainer…Literally

Holidays…a time for celebrating, a time for friends and family, but for some of us who are alone it is a time of boredom. Surfing the web, playing online games and reading the news can get old very fast.

As a result of my boredom I went through old episodes of Nova, Discover and The American Experience; somehow intermixed in this stack of DVDs was Idiocracy. This was very deceptive movie; for the first few minutes I thought it was actually a documentary.

The movie starts off discussing natural selection and genetics. It points out that genetic evolution is indifferent to intelligence. The dumbing-down of the world is examined. Intelligent people are having fewer children for a variety of reasons: financial, educational, concern for the environment, and selfishness. People with loose morals, educated by the media and advertising, and those who are on the low end of the economic ladder tend to have more children either because they don’t believe in or don’t understand birth control or possibly because their only amusement is sex. People vote for politicians like they vote for the American Idol. Name recognition is everything

The English language in the film has degraded into catch phrases and meaningless grunts and resembles something akin to ghetto speak as written by Madison Avenue, kind of like modern television shows. In the film, technology runs the world. Technology repairs technology because the people have lost any ability to think. People become slaves to the machines. Reading has become a thing of the past. Common sense has been bred out of the human race. While this film is classified as a black comedy in the same genre as Woody Allen’s Sleeper, to which it bears some semblance, it is more…much more.

Mike Judge, the creator of Bevis and Butthead and Office Space, wrote and directed the film which has garnered a cult like following, but since the film first debuted in 2006 the news, the polls and the election results have proved this film is not truly a satire. This film is a microscopic look into our future.
