Get This

August 4, 2023

Let’s get this straight.

Fringe, radical “progressive” leftist extremists (aka “democrats”) are fork-tongued, two-faced, back-stabbing, pathologically lying sociopaths who will lie, cheat, steal and kill to gain and maintain an unbreakable grip on unrestrained, dictatorial power in perpetuity.

The ends justify the means.

They hate America, they hate the United States Constitution, and they hate patriotic Americans.

Big government traitors, aka “progressive” politicians in both major American political parties have been infesting the U.S. federal government for roughly a century.

Over the past ten decades, they have erected a monstrous, unconstitutional federal bureaucracy which usurps the power of duly elected representatives by imposing regulations which effectively replace laws written by the House of Representatives and Senate under the power granted to them by the Constitution, and by imposing fines and fees, which replace taxes, even though the power to tax is specifically given to the House.

The alphabet agencies in Washington DC believe theirs is to rule over the elected and the electors.

They are so sure of their power that they worked with “progressive” politicians to overthrow a duly elected President of the United States and are now protecting the criminals who cheated him out of his second term while seeking to imprison him for committing the same crime committed by Al Gore and Hillary Clinton…publicly challenging the results of a presidential election.

Welcome to the United Soviet States of America.

The only way to fix this mess is to get the current White House occupant out of the Oval Office and have him replaced by a President who will reverse every one of his decidedly injurious, anti-American Executive Orders which have damaged America’s manufacturing, energy production, farming, military, foreign policy, et al.

Then the unelected, unaccountable, unconstitutional 4th branch of the federal government must be aggressively reduced, reformed and reorganized.

Congress must write and pass a bill to be signed into law by the Chief Executive clearly stating that every regulation, fee and fine seeking to be imposed upon the public by the bureaucratic state will have zero affect unless and until Congress has written those regulations, fees and fines into law.

The legislation must also make it abundantly clear that henceforth, the bureaucratic state will forever play an advisory role, with zero power to impose regulations that act like laws or fees and fines that act like taxes.

This will remove power from the hands of unelected, unaccountable, overpaid, unconstitutional federal bureaucrats and return it to the hands of representatives duly elected by WE THE PEOPLE of the United States of America.

Concurrently, the President must enact policies which will unleash the full power of the U.S. energy industry so that America leads the world in energy production. America could be selling American energy to America’s friends instead of begging enemies and adversaries to produce the energy anti-American “progressives” consciously choose to leave in the ground.

If politicians seek the support and vote of Americans in subsequent elections, insist they support legislation to repeal unnecessary government meddling in competitive markets.

Should they choose to ignore the call for a return to free market principles, make it clear you understand that too often, keeping their seat at the banquet table of corruption is more important to them than keeping their oath of office.

Vote them out.

Americans and America will be much better off after they are gone…for good.

The Canary in the Coal Mine

May 17, 2022

Regressive New World Order globalists in both major political parties have been selling America out for decades. They have been lining their own pockets in preparation for the World Economic Forum/UN driven great reset; where the uber rich will live like royalty and the numerically diminished serf population will slave away to provide for the needs of “the elite.”

To precondition America’s “unwashed masses” to big, all-powerful global government control, regressive NWO globalists have spent the last century erecting an unconstitutional branch of government comprised of unelected, unaccountable, overpaid federal bureaucrats.

These bureaucrats dictate policy via regulation just as they dictate costs through fines and fees. Regulations have the effect of laws while fines and fees have the effect of taxes. That is illegal. According to United States Constitution, the powers to write laws and levy taxes are assigned to Congress.

Not only does the U.S. Constitution have no article or clause establishing a bureaucratic branch of the federal government, it does not mention a bureaucracy at all, much less grants it power to dictate the goings-on of the nation at large.

In 1800 defense spending was more than half of the federal budget. This was reduced to one third of the budget by 1900. By 2020, the level of spending for defense and homeland security had been diminished to a fraction over sixteen percent. This is not due to a lack of defense spending. It is because the unconstitutional federal bureaucracy has become a monstrosity.

A bloated, out-of-control monstrosity.

Republican Theodore Roosevelt was the first “progressive” President of the United States. After taking office in 1901, he established the mold by which the federal bureaucracy was to be built when he founded the National Parks System.

Without constitutional authority, he created a bureaucracy in Washington DC that would centrally control parks across America.

It was going to be great, and everyone was going to love it.

Creating this park system was possible only because Roosevelt assumed the authority to abuse the General Welfare Clause in the U.S. Constitution. The two other co-equal branches of the federal government, Congress and the Supreme Court, did nothing to stop it.

This pattern was adopted by subsequent “progressive” presidents during the following century, which has resulted to the erection of an illegal shadow government in Washington DC.

Some call it “the deep state.”

In 1789, the federal bureaucracy under George Washington consisted of three cabinet level departments.

Between 1933 and 1945 Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal inflated the federal bureaucracy enormously. During those twelve years, the number of unelected, unaccountable, overpaid federal bureaucrats grew from a little over half a million to more than 3.5 million.

Following the assassination of John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson used the opportunity to create Medicare, Medicaid, and the Great Society’s “war on poverty.” The Great Society included federal funding for education through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Urban renewal via the Housing and Urban Development Act, and the creation of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts via the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act.

Richard Nixon contributed to the expanding behemoth by creating the Environmental Protection Agency.

Jimmy Carter added more with the centrally planned, brainwashing-America’s-schoolchildren propaganda organization otherwise known as the Department of Education.

George W. Bush piled on with the Department of Homeland Security.

Barack Obama added the Affordable Care Act.

These increases in the size of centralized government were always pitched to America’s “unwashed masses” (aka taxpaying voters) as before: It is going to be great, and everyone is going to love it.

All these additional programs required the hiring of still more unelected, unaccountable, overpaid federal bureaucrats.

Now, in the twenty first century, the enormous, out of control bureaucracy has joined forces with regressive NWO globalist politicians to wage war against America and Americans.

For over a year the Department of Justice has imprisoned, without trial, Americans who entered the national Capitol building on January 6, 2021, after Capitol police opened the doors to let them in. They walked around and took selfies. They were smeared for having beaten an officer to death with a fire extinguisher, even though the autopsy showed the officer suffered strokes and died of natural causes. Twelve-year Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt was shot dead in cold blood by a Capitol police officer who has suffered no consequences for his actions.

Nobody who entered the building has been charged with possession of a firearm. But that has not stopped regressive NWO globalists from labeling the incident an “armed insurrection” and relentlessly pushing that false narrative with the aid of their obedient regressive NWO globalist lapdogs in the so-called “mainstream media.”

The Department of Homeland Security, which was ostensibly created to defend America from foreign terrorists, is being used by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate and intimidate parents who attended school board meetings to express displeasure with their children being brainwashed into hating America. American schoolchildren have been being force-fed Critical Race Theory in government run schools (see the aforementioned Department of Education) for who knows how long.

The DHS has added the Disinformation Governance Board, which will be used by regressive NWO globalist politicians and their allies within the federal bureaucracy, the press and social media to silence Patriots who defend America.

If you love America as it was founded, you can count on being silenced and smeared by the Ministry of Truth.

So much for freedom of speech.

The Security Exhange Commission is promoting climate change rules that sidestep both Congress and voters. The proposal is so complex it runs 506 pages with 1,068 footnotes and will cost $10 billion while increasing energy prices.

So much for a free-market economy and representative government.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has labeled former President Donald Trump “a creature” for nominating Supreme Court Justices who, in a leaked internal Supreme Court communication, the type of which had hitherto been respected as private, indicated a possible reversal of Roe vs Wade. This decision would properly interpret the Constitution, end legal abortion on a national scale, and result in returning the matter to the purview of elected state legislatures as per the 10th Amendment to the Constitution.

Never mind that America’s federal government was designed to distribute power between the legislative, executive and judicial branches. Regressive NWO globalists will do what they must to ensure the Supreme Court is cowed into submission and obedience.

The ends justify the means.

Ronald Reagan sounded the alarm in 1964 when he warned:

“We’re at war with the most dangerous enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars, and it’s been said if we lose that war, and in so doing lose this way of freedom of ours, history will record with the greatest astonishment that those who had the most to lose did the least to prevent its happening.”

Are Americans going to be like a coal miner who ignores the canary and marches onward towards extinction?

Ridding the American body politic of regressive NWO globalists will be a long-term effort. They have been attacking the USA for a century and all the damage they have inflicted upon the country cannot be repaired overnight. For the 2022 midterm election and the 2024 presidential year election, make sure to save the patient by stopping the bleeding.

Elect every America-first candidate possible.

Don’t lose sight of the long-term goal…remember the canary.

Fixing America

November 18, 2021

There are many who believe a red wave is coming in 2022, resulting in a major shift in congressional power and tipping the majority in favor of Republican control. While, at this point this seems plausible, some less obvious factors must be considered.

Members of the House and Senate GOP have recently seen fit to abandon their country and vote for a recklessly “progressive” leftist “infrastructure” bill that consists of 11% infrastructure and massive amounts of “progressive” leftist word salad that fully intends to fundamentally transform the United States into a country Americans of prior generations would find unrecognizable.

That bill has been signed into law.

The silence of congressional GOP leadership regarding the mistreatment of people arrested on January 6th 2021 for actions which were tantamount to trespassing has been deafening.

These, and other factors illustrate that simply voting for someone because they’re a Republican is insufficient.

The Republican versus Democrat political paradigm is obsolete. 

Today’s political divide is between American Patriots and “progressive” NWO globalists. 

There have been “progressive” “republican” NWO globalists infesting Washington DC and the States for decades.  For example, the Bush family and their political allies are full blown “progressive” NWO globalists.  While in office as POTUS, Bush 41 gave two nationally televised speeches singing the praises of a NWO global government administered by the United Nations.  

In fact, the first “progressive” “republican” was Teddy Roosevelt, who established the template used by subsequent “progressive” presidents to build today’s bloated federal bureaucracy when he established the National Parks Service. 

It would be centrally planned, run by bureaucrats in Washington DC and it would be good for everyone. 

The unelected, unaccountable, overpaid federal bureaucracy has become so big and so powerful that they were 100% confident and comfortable with attacking and seeking to destroy a duly elected, bona fide American populist POTUS using a Russia collusion lie concocted and paid for by the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign with the blessings of Barack Obama and Joe Biden and executed by the FBI with full support and camouflage from other bureaucrats within the DOJ. 

Not only are these bureaucrats out of control would be elitist rulers of the unwashed masses, their existence is unconstitutional. 

There is no Article within the Supreme Law of the Land, the U.S. Constitution, which establishes a federal bureaucracy. 

Not only is an omnipotent federal bureaucracy not authorized to impose regulations that act as law (Congress is granted the power to write law) or impose fines and fees that act as taxes (Congress is empowered to tax), it is not even mentioned.  

Cleansing the nation of this unconstitutional, bloated, out of control federal bureaucracy will be good step way towards restoring America’s representative government, save trillions of dollars and go a long way towards curtailing unending deficit spending which, unlike “climate change,” is actually an existential threat to the USA.

The challenge before American Patriots going forward is to elect people to office who are devoted to defunding and dismantling the federal bureaucracy. Patriots who have the courage to fight for their country the way past generations of Americans fought to establish, protect and preserve their nation; people who have read and understand the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.

People like this must be elected in order to take meaningful strides towards restoring the United States Constitutional Republic.

WARNING! DANGER!

September 9, 2021

The current “progressive” leftist “administration” has decided the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution (including the Bill of Rights) need a warning label.

Just recently, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) determined America’s founding documents may be “harmful or difficult” to view because of their “outdated, biased, offensive, and possibly violent views and opinions.”

That’s because Americans need to be warned that these words: “We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” reflect racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic/misogynoir, and xenophobic opinions and attitudes.

Because it is extremely dangerous to learn the United States of America was founded on the idea: “That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

Because absolutely nothing could possibly be more perilous than understanding America’s Founders framed the U.S. government with this intent: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Never mind that the very same people warning the public about these so-called “dangerous ideas” believe men can menstruate and give birth. Never mind that these very same people believe it’s perfectly okay to loot businesses, burn buildings, attack and cold-cock passers by, assassinate the characters and ostracize others for not getting “the jab” or wear a gorilla mask and throw eggs at a black gubernatorial candidate in the Union’s largest State.

These are the same people whose plan is to destroy America’s energy independence, dramatically increase the pace of inflation by spending trillions of dollars of borrowed money, abandon hundreds of American citizens in a third world country on the other side of the planet while leaving them in the hands of barbarians who believe women are sub-human property, and erase any and all enforcement of immigration law without even a hint of due process.

The same people warning you and yours about the dangers lurking within America’s founding documents are the same people who believe America doesn’t measure up to their own “high standards.”

What “high standards?”

The “high standards” that prompted Secretary of State Antony Blinken to bemoan the fact that the Taliban (the barbarians who took over Afghanistan after the illegitimate “president” of the United States surrendered the country and left billions of dollars worth of highly developed military hardware behind) established a government that is not “inclusive.”

Never mind that the Taliban beheads those who refuse to convert to their “religion.” Never mind that the Taliban stones women for committing the crime of being raped. Never mind that they throw gays to their death from the top of the tallest available building. Never mind that back in 2001 the Taliban ordered the destruction of all statues in Afghanistan including ancient pre-Islamic figures.

Their crime is establishing a government that is not “inclusive” enough for “progressive” leftists.

Blinken and his ilk believe America’s enemies will conform to their “high standards” if the USA kisses their bums and plays nice, then bemoan the results when the Taliban refuses to conform to the “high standards” of the “progressive” left.

The “progressive” leftist notion that everything on planet Earth (past, present and future) MUST conform to their “high standards” is a fatally flawed concept.

If you believe fatally flawed is an overstatement, ask the families of the thirteen U.S. military who were killed in Kabul in August 2021.

While there may be some truth in the idea that you do not make progress without change, not all change is progress.

Believing history will be changed by tearing down statues, putting warning labels on documents or forbidding “unacceptable” books is simply wrong. The reality is, human civilization’s errors do not disappear because people are not allowed to see them. The only thing that happens is that history is forgotten.

If you want to prevent a repeat of human civilization’s errors, they must be remembered. Let the monuments to history remain so future generation who see them will ask what they are about. Then future generations can learn from history and about those mistakes as a safeguard against repeating past errors.

If “progressive” leftists succeed in erasing history, the world will take a giant leap towards forgetting it. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Throughout human history, great civilizations which rose from darkness have fallen back into darkness.

If that happens again, don’t say nobody warned you.

Lady Liberty

March 16, 2013

statue-of-liberty-addressLady Liberty stands in New York Harbor proclaiming: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Lady Liberty: A beacon of freedom the entire world sees.  A symbol of a better way of life anchored in liberty, opportunity and equal protection under the law.

Inspiring, yes, but that is not the entire story.

Lady Liberty also stands as a reminder to America that the the American way of life is why people have come to this country for centuries.

What the world is currently witnessing is the collapse of the European socialist economic model; the failure of government dependency. As more people become dependent on government, fewer people are left to pay the cost.

But it goes beyond simply spending other people’s money. The socialist entitlement mentality makes people less productive. As more and more people become less and less productive, an ever-smaller minority of productive people become responsible for shouldering the burdens of a completely lopsided, unfair system. When a tiny number of productive people are required to deprive themselves of the fruits of their own labor in order to finance the lives of the remaining population, where is the incentive for them to produce?

If that is not enough, reliance on a big government nanny state makes people less responsible for themselves; less self-reliant. That is the antithesis of the American way of life.

When European settlers colonized the New World, they left the security of Europe behind in favor of North America’s unknown wilderness. They left homes, family, friends and country in exchange for an opportunity to build better lives for themselves. They were freed from the constraints of Europe’s restrictive class system.  They openly rejected the European way by their leaving.

When the British Monarchy deemed to re-impose that system on Britain’s thirteen North American Colonies, that attempt was adamantly and thoroughly rejected. Hence: the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution and the founding of the United States of America.

When America’s pioneers ventured forth to traverse the Great Plains and cross the Rocky Mountains they were completely self-reliant. They took care of themselves. They did not have, want, or need a big nanny state government to take care of them from cradle to grave.

This is the stuff of which America is made.

Because it gives them control over “the masses”, “progressives” have long sought to fashion America after the European socialist model, to make Americans more government dependent. There was FDR with the New Deal and Social Security. LBJ gave America the Great Society, Welfare Programs and Medicare.  Then, Obama forced upon an unwilling America the crown jewel of European style socialism; government controlled medicine.

Every time “progressives” hold a press conference they sound exactly the way they have always sounded: they inherited the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Their policies are working, but need more time. Congress needs to quit stalling and enact more of their policies. The private sector is doing fine but to grow the economy government needs to spend more money to create more government jobs at the state and local level.

Repeatedly, “progressives” show exactly how out of touch they are with the private sector, how the American economy works, the lessons of American history and the nature of America’s people.

Europe will not work in America. Neither will out of touch narcissists who insist on imposing a long rejected European system upon America.

It is time for Americans to reject the following proposal, long foisted upon America by the self-imagined, self-appointed, “progressive” intellectual elite:

We, the government, are your lords and masters.  You will do as we say, not as we do.  For we are the enlightened “progressives” and you are but melting pot bitter clingers.

Stand with Rand

March 7, 2013

Some of Senator Rand Paul’s (R, KY) colleagues were left unimpressed by Wednesday’s filibuster.  The day following Paul’s action, Senators John McCain (R, AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R, SC) criticized him, saying Paul was doing a “disservice” to the debate about drones.randpaulfilibuster

When was the last time either McCain or Graham raised concerns over the White House’s use of drones?

“I don’t think what happened yesterday was helpful to the American people…What we saw yesterday is going to give ammunition to those who say the rules of the Senate are being abused,” McCain said.

Since when is proper use of the Senate filibuster abuse?  McCain seems more concerned with getting along with “progressives” in the Senate than preserving the United States Constitution.

Paul was attempting to get the Obama administration to confirm it will not kill non-combatant Americans within the United States.  Graham apparently viewed that as a farcical question.

“I do not believe that question deserves an answer,” Graham stated.

What question would Graham consider worthy of reply?  Do assurances from the DOJ that they will not selectively ignore constitutionally protected rights of American Citizens to judicial due process not qualify?

http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2013/mar/7/graham-mccain-blast-paul-filibuster/

Concerns over the administration’s drone program led lawmakers to question Attorney General Eric Holder about legal justification for targeting American Citizens.   Similar concerns prompted Paul to begin his filibuster, demanding answers from the White House.  Paul said he would relent only if the Obama administration stated publically that it will not target Americans on American soil.

The administration apparently believed it could kill Americans it suspected of having terrorist ties without putting them on trial.

Concerns over protection of due process for American Citizens are bipartisan.

“You can hear almost unanimous concern about transparency and wrestling with how to move forward here in a way that protects both our constitutional liberties and our security as a nation,” Senator Christopher A. Coons (D, DE) told Holder.

Under careful examination by Senator Ted Cruz (R, TX), Holder repeatedly stated U.S Citizens on American soil were not “appropriate” targets for executions without due judicial process.  Cruz said that was an insufficient answer.  “You keep saying ‘appropriate.’ My question isn’t about propriety. My question is about whether something is constitutional or not,” said Cruz.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/6/rand-paul-filibusters-brennan-nomination-cia-direc/

McCain and Graham aside, Rand Paul, Christopher Coons and Ted Cruz are on the right side of the debate.

Since McCain and Graham apparently believe it is most important for them to get along with “progressives”, no matter the cost to the Rights of American Citizens at home, their criticism of Paul is out of hand.

Let them face the repercussions in their next election.
Revolution is coming.

For Love of Country

November 5, 2012

Speaking in Springfield Ohio, Barack Obama mentioned Mitt Romney.  As soon as he mentioned Romney’s name, the crowd began to boo.  Obama told the crowd:

“No, no, no. Don’t boo, vote. Voting is the best revenge.”

Speaking in New Hampshire, Romney told supporters how Obama had said that voting would be their “best revenge” against Romney:

“Vote for revenge?  Let me tell you what I’d like to tell you: Vote for love of country. It is time we lead America to a better place.”

This is but one snapshot highlighting the difference between Americans and “progressives”.

The choices Americans have on Tuesday November 6, 2012 fall into two distinct categories. The difference between these two philosophies is so clearly defined that it should be easy for Americans to decide where their sentiments lie.

The Declaration of Independence was a radical document because for millennia mankind had been ruled by monarchs, Caesars, Czars, or similar forms of dynastic oligarchies determined by bloodline. The universally accepted school of thought was that Kings, Queens, Emperors or Caesars were anointed by God, or were even gods themselves. Only monarchs or nobilities appointed by monarchs owned anything. They “allowed” the “common people” to work the land as serfs, indentured servants or as slaves. But “common people” were never “allowed” to own property. All they produced belonged to the monarch and was the monarch’s for the taking.

America’s Founding Fathers disavowed this view of society.

They declared that all men are created equal, that in effect, all men are kings. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They declared that people could govern themselves without a monarch or an oligarchy ruling over them.

This was a radical departure from centuries old norms. They envisioned a system which allowed “common people” to own property without first obtaining permission from a “divine” ruler. Anyone could come to America, work hard, earn money, save it and buy property.

Those who rebelled against the Royal British Crown knew that if they failed in their endeavor, they would all hang. Yet, “with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence” they pledged to each other their Lives, their Fortunes and their sacred Honor.

The Declaration of Independence was the mission statement for the United States Constitution.

Yes, the Constitution established an imperfect government, which among other flaws still allowed slavery. Yet at that point in history, the original 13 colonies could not have formed one nation capable of maintaining a semblance of unity had they not reached the 3/5ths compromise. But the Founding Fathers were wise when they wrote the Constitution. They ensured that the Constitution could be amended, so that in time slavery and other injustices could be altered through an orderly process which provided change that enjoyed overwhelming bi-partisan support.

The Marxist school of thought is in direct opposition to the uniquely American concept that everyone has the right to own private property. How would Americans react if, after years of struggle, they finally owned their own home, then government “informed” them that it did not belong to them, that it belonged to “all the people” and Americans had to let strangers live on their property whether they liked it or not?

If an all-powerful, big government oligarchy is allowed to seize private property in this manner, as in the concept of “social justice” or “economic justice”, America is dead.

The real philosophical divide in the United States lies between the intent of America’s Founding Fathers and the intent of “progressives”, who favor the Marxist view.

The American idea, the shot heard round the world, is that We The People can govern ourselves. By the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God we are entitled, by virtue of our humanity, to the maximum amount of Individual Liberties consistent with law and order, and to the Right of private ownership, not the least of which is the Right to own and decide for ourselves. These Liberties and Rights are to be equally protected by a constitutionally limited, representative government that derives its just powers from the consent of the governed.

This is a distinctly exceptional American idea.

The “progressive” idea is that an all-powerful centrally planned government, with extreme hostility towards private ownership, forces redistribution of wealth in the name of social or economic “justice”. In order to ensure “fairness”, an oligarchy of self-imagined, self-appointed “intellectual elites” will control businesses, industries and people who are incapable of governing themselves. This was the position of a fringe minority who called themselves “progressives” until early twentieth century Americans saw for themselves exactly how bad “progressive” ideas were.

The “progressive” idea came to America from Britain’s Fabian Socialists, who advocate socialistic democracy, and from Germany’s Frankfurt School, who came to America after fleeing Adolph Hitler because they knew Hitler would kill them for being Communists.

These ideas are European, not American.

The settlers who founded America rejected European ideas in fleeing Europe searching for a better future.  America has been a success and a beacon to freedom seeking people for over two centuries because the American idea is the better idea.

Among Americans unpolluted by “progressive” ideas, there is little debate that the United States of America is the most inventive, productive, prosperous and charitable nation in the history of the planet. There has yet to be put forth one rational, logical argument to support abandoning the highly successful American idea in favor of a European idea that is currently failing in Europe itself.

Before voting on Tuesday, November 6, 2012, decide which fate America deserves.

Then vote not for revenge, but for love of country.

 

Why The Tea Party Matters

October 1, 2012

Tea Party principles are based on a belief in the U.S. Constitution.  Across America, a huge natural constituency exists for the bread-and-butter American issues of lower taxes, reduced government, a strong national defense, secure borders and a return to the traditional American values of: E Pluribus Unum, Liberty and in God we trust.

E Pluribus Unum means from many, one. It does not mean unquestioning acquiescence to multiculturalism and diversity.  Liberty means opportunity for all, not equality of results.  In God we trust means reliance upon the Creator of all things.  It does not mean passive acceptance of secularism, atheism or submissive surrender to “progressive” statist mandates.

The Tea Party movement began as a peaceful protest against big government, reckless government spending, high taxes and oppressive regulations. The Tea Party’s Contract From America expressed principles held by its members. The most basic being that “Our moral, political, and economic liberties are inherent, not granted by our government.”

The principles of the Tea Party were clearly expressed in the Contract:  Protect the Constitution, reject Cap & Trade, demand a balanced budget, enact fundamental tax reform, restore fiscal responsibility and Constitutionally limited government in Washington DC, end runaway government spending, defund, repeal and replace government-run health care, pass an ‘all-of-the-above’ energy policy, stop the pork, and stop the tax hikes.

The American idea, the shot heard round the world, is that We The People can govern ourselves.  By the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God we are entitled, by virtue of our humanity, to the maximum amount of Individual Liberties consistent with law and order, and to the Right of private ownership, not the least of which is the Right to own and decide for ourselves.  These Liberties and Rights are to be equally protected by a Constitutionally limited, representative government that derives its just powers from the consent of the governed.  This is a distinctly exceptional American idea.

These are the Tea Party’s principles, which today are largely viewed as being Conservative or “right wing”.  Adherence to these principles are shared by members of many political Parties, but rejected wholesale by the institutionalized “progressive” left movement, which has co-opted today’s Democratic Party.

If you are in the Tea Party, you believe in America.

If you believe in America, you belong in the Tea Party.

In an election where a decision will made between the American way of life and a nanny state “entitlement” society based on a European idea, the Tea Party Matters.

White House: Mid East Attacks Not Premeditated

September 16, 2012

The attack on America’s Benghazi consulate was not premeditated.

It was all about the video.

So said the White House, so said the State Department, so said U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice:

“Our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous – not a premeditated – response to what had transpired in Cairo.  In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated.  We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to – or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo.  And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons… And it then evolved from there”.

Never mind that Libyan President Mohamed Magariaf said the attack was planned in advance.

What would people who live and work in an official capacity within Libya know about what is going on in their country?

How could Americans possibly believe that the President of Libya knows more about what is happening on the ground in Libya than do Barrack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice or Jay Carney?

Those Americans should be ashamed of themselves.

Rather, Americans are to believe that on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks upon the United States no elements of Al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood or any other Islamofascist groups within Libya, Egypt, Tunis, or the other twenty odd countries that purportedly simultaneously and spontaneously erupted into violent anti-American hatred, planned to assault American embassies, besiege American consulates, burn American flags, hoist the Al Qaeda flag over the U.S. Embassy in Egypt and ruthless murder American Citizens in cold blood.

Nobody in any of those countries planned in advance.  No groups coordinated the date, the targets, the weapons, the tactics…nope.

It was all about the video.

It was all because of a low budget privately made video posted online by a relative unknown that a slim few had heard of, much less seen.

A video which, whether the White House, the State Department or anyone else within the institutionalized “progressive” left cares to admit, falls within an American’s God given, constitutionally protected Right to free speech.

The administration of Barrack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, Jay Carney, et al are counting on enough American voters being so naive that they will blindly accept any flimsy cover story coming out of the White House.

Of course it definitely helps when everyone save for a brave few souls in the media obediently parrots the “progressive” Party line while hiding, obstructing or completely ignoring entire stories and/or pertinent facts in the process.

It is a pretty darned good bet the people buying this White House cover story concerning anti-American violence in the Middle East also swallowed the equally flimsy cover story about Fast and Furious…hook line and sinker.

Yes, the administration and like-minded members of the self-imagined, self-appointed intellectual “progressive” elite truly believe a sufficient number of Americans needed to re-elect them ARE that stupid, ignorant, sufficiently distracted or simply not paying attention.

Americans have the chance to prove them wrong on November 6, 2012.
