What did you think he was gonna say?

Yeah?  Listen to powerful Michigan Democrat Congressman John Conyers [yes, the one who’s wife is serving time in federal prison] talk to a gathering of Democratic Socialists of America.  He could not make his agenda – and theirs – any clearer.
 

Unemployment in Michigan is at 13.1%;  double that in the greater Detroit area.  Did you hear Conyers say that Obama has to do something to create jobs?  Like what John, – raise taxes?

How powerful is Conyers?  He’s been ‘serving’ in Congress since 1965.  He chairs the Judiciary Committee, and he is a founder of the Congressional Black Caucus.  He is considered the 6^th most liberal congressman to serve since WWII.  He ran unopposed in 2008.  His 14^th District is 60% Black and considered “solid Democrat”.  This year he’s being opposed by teacher and businessman Don Ukrainec.

POOR Niki Tsongas (MA-5th)!  Six (6) MassHoles listed, but not her!  She must be feeling SO LEFT OUT!!!  And she’s tried so hard too, – voted EXACTLY like Pelosi told her to.  Damn, this girl can’t catch a break.

Americans,  if you want to understand why Congress seems not to listen to YOU, why the members ignore you at town hall meetings, ignore your emails, calls, letters, and faxes, – THIS IS WHY!   They’re listening to their OWN distand drummer – the drumbeat of Socialism.

DRUM THEM OUT on Nov 2nd!!

Please forward this to your liberal friends and relatives.

What do you have to lose?    Simple:  on one hand a few liberal “friends” and relatives who are blithely voting you into the status of Greece, – and on the other had you have the USA – your country!

I’ve chosen.  I chose my country.

Message to Liberals:  If somebody forwards this to you, they must at least like / love / respect you enough to want you to see the light.  Don’t get mad.  Thank them, watch the video, – and THINK!

If your US Senator is up for reelection – as are ALL the members of Congress, – and he/she voted for the TARP, the “Stimulus”, Cap & Trade, the Bailouts, raising the Debt Ceiling, Cash for Clunkers, or ObamaCare, – VOTE them OUT!  They betrayed their OATH!

I grew up in small Hudson River towns, where almost every dad – and a number of moms – were WWII veterans, and the grandparents were WW I veterans.  The Korean war was raging at the time, and though war weary,  small-town America was patriotic and proud.  Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and the Fourth of July were each observed.  Everybody in town came out.

As kids we would wait respectfully through the speeches for the big moment – the Honor Guard of veterans firing the volleys in honor of the dead.  We’d wait itching for the second they marched off, then rush to claim our prizes – the empty shell casings – still warm and smelling of gunpowder. 

I can still see the eyes of one man gazing down at me.  It took years before I realized what I’d witnessed.  Missing most of his left forearm, he managed to hold his rifle up in the same 45º angle and still do his part to honor the fallen.  Older now myself than he was then, I know exactly what he was thinking: “would these kids scrambling for brass at his feet have what it takes to keep a proud nation free and strong?”

I often thought of him through the years.  Sometimes when things were ugly I’d ask him “Sir, am I doing enough?  Am I doing it well enough?”

Today I know I did part of the job very well.  I’m proud of my years of soldiering.  To the extent that our chicken-livered politicians would let us – we fought well and faithfully to hold back Communism.  Vietnam, Cambodia, – I’m sorry my nation failed you.  I still see your faces.  All of you from the RFs to the PFs to the Hoc Bao, to the 1^st and 3^rd ARVN Division to the 1^st ARVN Airborne – I still see your faces, and you still make me proud.

And to you “Americans” who turned your backs on them and on us – people like Jane #onda and John Ketchup Kerry – DAMN you to HELL forever for your treachery and your treason!

Others have said it well, – soldering is mostly some hard training, some putting up with inane orders, some stretches of sheer boredom, and them minutes, hours or weeks of sheer terror.  So it was with me.  I’d been a soldier for a long time before it was my turn to experience the terror.  As I’ve told you readers before, on my first mission I was so preoccupied with the technical part I was unaware I was under fire.  Two seasoned NCOs dispatched the danger, then ragged me about it for months.  Jolly, I still see your face.

It was over the battered besieged town of An Loc that I came to understand how suddenly death comes.  When we finally got on the ground I saw many more examples of how lethal modern weaponry is.  In the decades since I’ve wondered how many soldiers and airmen – and sailors,  found themselves standing before the Pearly Gates, their uniforms still smoking, and saying to each other “Holy shit, what the #uck was that?!?”  I have imagines Saint Peter telling them they just took a direct hit and showing them the instant replay.  Guys,  I still see your faces.

The America I live in today is three complete generations removed from the one I grew up in.  When I see the old one-armed veteran again I will have to apologize.

I did the citizenship part of the job poorly.  I ignored town elections and school board elections.  I let new-age socialist maggots creep into the body of my Young Republic through every unguarded portal.  They have spent sixty years eating the pride, the patriotism, and the common sense out of our school children and thus out of our voting public.  They have forcibly replaced our belief in God with the feces of secularism, while I stood dumbly by assuming that the Courts would overrule the stupidity.  Didn’t happen. 

I assumed Americans from coast to coast would stand up and defend our Constitution and our American customs and civic traditions.  I didn’t understand how totally they were being undermined – by our most “trusted” citizens – our school teachers and our elected leaders.

Then four years ago that I listened in silent rage while local socialist / gay-rights apostle State Rep [now State Senator] JamieBoy Eldridge told the kids marching in the Memorial Day Parade that we should be thankful because our Bill of Rights gives us Freedom From Religion”. 

It was an epiphany for me.  Suddenly I could see the face of our enemy within.  This swishing son of my son’s Kindergarten teacher, this “proud product” for the Acton School System, this graduate of Boston College Law School – was a leading foot-soldier in the army which is destroying us from within.  And there he was, flinging his socialist dung over of all things – our Memorial Day Parade.  In 2008 JamieBoy went to Denver to work for his MEssiah at the DNC. Lately he’s been pushing for the Transgender Bathroom Bill on Beacon Hill.  Jamie, may you rot in hell too! 

So this weekend our Undocumented Worker-in-Chief will vacation and fundraise in Chicago instead of laying a wreath at Arlington.  Just as well. Better another small Obamatrocity than a big public one.  We know where his patriotism lies – he said so in his book – he sides with the Muslims.  May he too rot in Hell.

Thinking back through history,  most wars and most battles were fought for conquest, not for Freedom.  That is why America – the USA – is so very exceptional.  Most of our wars and battles have been fought to gain or preserve freedom, first for ourselves, and then for others.

This nation which OBummer keeps apologizing for has freed MILLIONS of people from tyranny.  We have nothing to apologize for, – except abandoning allies like South Vietnam, and leaving the weak and helpless to fend for themselves, – like Cambodia. 

So today when I see youngsters growing up, – many in very liberal homes where they are being nurtured in very perverted versions of what America means and what our responsibilities are – to ourselves and to the world – I wonder if they’ll have what it takes to soldier when necessary, and be vigilant citizens all the time.

The 1 Million – to - 1 Applicant?

There were well over 1,000,000 lawyers in the US back in 1999  when newly unemployed Clinton White House lawyer Elena was hired to teach Law at Harvard.  At that point she’d never worked at a real law firm,  never tried a case,  and may never have actually made an appearance before a judge in a courtroom.  So exactly what were her desirable qualities that made Harvard select her over 1,000,000 others?

What was Harvard looking for in 1999 when Kagan left that scandal plagued Clinton White House to become a “visiting professor” at Harvard.  What where they looking for in 2001 when they named her a full professor, or in 2003 when she was named the Law School’s first woman dean?

Let’s go with the obvious.  She is a woman [visibly vertically challenged], mostly round, single, Jewish, and by the measure of most of my male friends and acquaintances – she’s never won a beauty contest.  She has no visible handicaps. 

By 2003 she was 43 years old – and had never argued a case!!!  What could she possibly teach student lawyers from her personal experience?  What was the value added she brought to the party?  Was Harvard willing to make an investment in a glaringly under-qualified Dean in the hopes that some future liberal president would smile upon their graduates?  If so, their bet may be about to pay off big time.

So is this the new left-wing standard for national leadership?  We have a pResident who has never worked a real job, – never managed or led anything, - has associated with known crooks, gangsters, thugs, radicals, militants, – is probably foreign-born, and is without visible documentation.  Yet Americans elected him on two one-word slogans “Hope” and “Change”.

Now OBummer has nominated the relatively young and relatively inexperienced Ms. Kagan to sit on the Supreme Court -–where she’ll likely stay until her late 80s.  And her expertise, – her qualifications?   A lifetime of talking and writing about “the law” in terms of “what it should say”.  Kagan is your ideal candidate – if you want judges who overlook and ignore our Constitution and the Laws made by Congress, – and who decide issues and cases in terms of how they “feel” they should be decided. 

If our Young Republic survives OBummer, Sotomayor and Kagan, – it will not be until at least 2017 – and perhaps until 2021 that a reasonable Constitutional balance can be restored.

Does the “lesbian thing” matter?  Sure it does.  Kagan goes to the high bench with her mind already made up.  Despite Senator Scott Brown’s inane utterings last week, she is no friend of our military.  In her mind, her agenda is more important than national defense or a well-ordered and disciplined military.  But Gay America is breathless in anticipation. 

And Harvard’s disgrace?   From over 1,000,000 attorneys – some female, some gay, some short, some Jewish, some seasoned jurists, most with decades of real experience in real courtrooms, Harvard chose the short inexperienced social-issue token, – and lent her the prestige and credibility of the Harvard name. 

In some small measure Harvard University is a product of American Exceptionalism.  Founded as a school to train preachers, in recent decades Harvard has turned its back on religion.  Harvard grew prestigious, prosperous, and vastly wealthy over hundreds of years because of free market capitalism,  But for the past fifty years it been the quiet hotbed of Socialist America – the breeding ground for one-world liberals who want borders and nations erased, and your hard-earned wealth distributed, preferably by it’s enlightened grads. 

In short, having been a big part of building up America,  Harvard and it’s grads now lead the attack to destroy America from within.  To their eternal shame.  My father (’16) must be rolling in his grave.

Most of you have concluded that exactly where Obama was born is now of minor importance.   If there were proof that his mother had given up [renounced] her American citizenship and the child was born in Kenya, – well that ~ could ~ trigger a Constitutional crisis.   But with the Democrats in charge of the House – - it would just smolder until after the midterms or until after 2012.

What is far more important is his lifetime’s worth of missing / sealed records.  Why are they secret?  How vast and well financed is the conspiracy which managed to seal everything?   Who other than someone like George Soros could afford such an enterprise?  Why would they do it? 

American voters managed to elect an image, – while knowing nothing about the man.   They didn’t care, they just wanted the image.  It felt so good.  Today with venture capital chased into buying gold,  unemployment hovering at 10%,  and more commercial real estate empty every day, – we’re paying for that vapid belief in “Hope” and “Change”. 

So which is the most important issue today?   Obama’s birth certificate?  His  lifetime of sealed and secret records?  His posse of crooked czars?  Or his unvarnished attempts to destroy our economy and create the conditions for a socialist takeover?

Do a little experiment:   wherever you live – drive through your town from east to west, or north to south,  – and count the number of empty storefronts and businesses.   Then think back to March 2008,  and remember what our economy was like then.  Just how long are you willing to let Obama blame those empty storefronts on Bush-Cheney? 

Anybody really think we can spend our way out of this?   I say we vote our way out in November!

Up in Maine, – which is pretty liberal, – their Gay Marriage question was defeated, – making it 31 for 31 in every state which had the courage to trust their voters.

In the NY 23rd – with final numbers still not in,  Democrat Owens appears to have won a narrow victory over Conservative Hoffman, – and he can thank Ditsy RiNO Dede, who in a show of pique betrayed the GOP.

We can thank Dede Scuzzybag too, – for making it crystal clear that RiNOs are really Liberals first,  and “Republican” only out of situational convenience at best.   Just as Obama wrote that ‘he will side with the Muslims’, –  these RiNOs will side with George Soros.

I can hardly wait for the White House Spinmongers to step forth and try to convince their ever dwindling audience that somehow “Tuesday’s votes didn’t really matter“.  I wonder how the Blue Dog Democrats in the House are feeling this morning?  I bet Nancy Pelosi will be going for more Botox shots soon.

Rep Bachmann (R)MN

Meanwhile over the weekend rising Republican star Rep. Michele Bachmann from Minnesota’s 6th District has called a “Town Hall Meeting” on the steps of the Capitol for high noon Thursday.  Once again the 9/12ers and the TEA Party Patriots are answering the call.  They’re going by the busload!  It should be quite a show.  Maybe since it will be a work day, – just ~ maybe ~ the MSM will cover it?  You think?

I’m thinking that Ms. Bachman is looking like a real ass-kicker, and I wouldn’t mind seeing her on the 2012 ticket.

Oh,  if you haven’t been paying attention,  or you think Obama’s efforts to devalue our US$ and bankrupt the country are going unnoticed around the world just because our MSM and newspapers are ignoring the story, – think again!  Yesterday India swapped 6.7 BILLION US$ for 200 tons of gold – driving the price up to $1,090.90 per troy ounce, up 2.6% for the day.  Their finance minister said simply, “we have the reserves of dollars,  and the US picture isn’t looking too good”.   If Obama & Crooks are allowed to continue, the day will be upon us when other nations will refuse US$ in trade.   Obama is playing to a world audience which gleefully awaits the day when our nation is broke, bankrupt, and unable to influence world events – or even our own destiny.

So the 2010 Mid-Term Election Season began last night even as the votes were being counted. A massive sea-change next November is the ONLY thing which can save our Young Republic from the destruction being wrought by our domestic enemies – the ones in the White House and Congress.  Republicans, these next twelve months are our Valley Forge, our Saratoga, and our Yorktown. We must win these battles, – or live out our days under socialist rule.

Jaing was Mao Tse-tung’s fourth wife.  During the ten-year Chinese Cultural Revolution she and the others were known as the Gang of Four, responsible for the most severe repressive actions carried out by the Red Guards.  Upon the death of Mao in 1976,  they were arrested,  tried,  and convicted of treason.  Jiang and Zhang were sentenced to death.

I mention this historic trivia because an evil gang is leading a revolution here in the USA today – from within our government.  Obama, his wife Michelle, Rahm Emmanuel, David Axelrod, Valerie Jarrett, George Soros, and Nancy Pelosi are hell-bent on fundamentally and totally tearing down all vestiges of Capitalism, Free Enterprise, Judeo-Christian society and replacing it with a hybrid brand of 21st Century agnostic Marxist-Socialism.  This is the “Change” Obama campaigned openly on, – the Change his ACORN and SEIU followers openly understood.   Only college campus liberals and white suburban soccer moms thought otherwise.  They thought it just meant dumping George Bush,  getting out of Iraq,  and maybe tweaking some reforms of medical insurance. They never saw the warning signals and signs of socialism,  - until suddenly Obama was taking over banks and auto makers and appointing Czars.

Motivation differs within individuals, and is sometimes hard to discern.  Clearly Obama and his wife,  and likely Jarrett hold life-long grudges against white America.  Both Obama and Michelle are narcissists, although she controls it most of the time even if she can barely control her temper.  Obama’s rage and racism seem to seethe just below the surface and can quickly erupt. 

This also seems to be the case with Pelosi.  Her rage trigger may be quicker because of underlying insecurity.  This is aggravated because she always relied on her looks, – and time is being increasingly cruel.  Emanuel, Axelrod, Jarrett and Soros are the cool-headed behind-the-scenes puppet masters who program Obama on a daily and sometimes hourly basis. One can only speculate at the tensions between Obama and Michelle with Jarrett always there – even on family vacations.

In recent times 79 year old Hungarian Jew George Soros has become the driving force behind the “liberal movement” in the US.   Taught by his internationalist father to speak Esperanto as a child,  he developed a hatred of George W. Bush and spent millions to defeat him in ’04.  Last year he spent $400K to get marijuana approved for private use here in Massachusetts.  He believes in tearing down the fabric of Western civilization and society, and in destroying capitalism.  Odd for a man worth $11 Billion, but he is the founder / chief architect of MoveON.org,  Air America,  the Open Society Initiative,  and a major figure behind the Tides Foundation, the SEIU, and of course, ACORN.  It is hard to look at the facts and not see Soros as the chief architect and chief puppet-master of the events of 2008 and 2009, – including the manipulation of the stock markets.  He was the money behind getting Deval Patrick elected governor in Massachusetts in 2006 – a David Axelrod test run for the Obama campaign which followed.  Anybody opposed was quickly labeled “racist”.

What do they want?  They want nothing short of the total humiliation of the USA,  - a completely redrafted Socialist Constitution,  the end of the US Dollar as currency, the end of our military might and dominance in world affairs,  and totally open borders – everywhere.  Yes, their ambitions are world-wide,  - they just start here.   Their first steps were those massive spending bills designed to cripple and then collapse our economy,  and make our people desperate enough to agree to Obama’s socialist demands – just as the Germans agreed to give Hitler complete control.

How do you fight back?  This blog is merely a humble starting place;  please share us with your friends.  The 9/12 show of force in DC this weekend was an excellent example of building a cohesive resistance movement.  But you cannot rely on others to save your country for you.  Everyone must become active,  and don’t let anybody shut you up by calling you a “racist”.   You must engage the idiots and well-meaning moonbats who elected Obama and opened this socialist Pandora’s Box.  Come the 2010 mid-terms, the socialists must be swept out of Congress!  Then in 2012,  Obama must go!  In 2013 we can bring the gang up on charges, – to include treason.

Will you meekly give in to Soros and Obama,  - or will you fight back?
