Hugo Chavez is dead. He leaves behind a country ruined by populist policies he referred to as “Socialism of the 21st Century.” Venezuela under 14 years of Chavez’s leadership benefited from about $1 trillion in revenues from the oil bonanza but has little to show for it. Instead, the country has largely followed the path described by economists Rudi Dornbusch and Sebastian Edwards in their 1991 classic, The Macroeconomics of Populism in Latin America.

Again and again, in country after country, policymakers have embraced economic programs that rely heavily on the use of expansive fiscal and credit policies and overvalued currency to accelerate growth and redistribute income. In implementing these policies, there has usually been no concern for fiscal and foreign exchange constraints. After a short period of economic growth and recovery, bottlenecks develop provoking unsustainable macroeconomic pressures that, at the end, result in the plummeting of real wages and severe balance of payment difficulties. The final outcome of these experiments has generally been galloping inflation, crisis, and the collapse of the economic system.

Venezuela’s economy, kept afloat by the long commodity boom, has not yet collapsed. But it is headed for crisis. A devaluation of more than 30% this year brought the official exchange rate to 6.3 bolivars to the dollar. The black market exchange rate—about 26 bolivars to the dollar—shows how much further it has to go. Inflation in 2012 reached 20%. Uncontrolled spending, expropriations, price controls, monetary expansion, capital controls and other misguided policies have also led to scarcities of basic goods, recurrent power outages, water rationing, increased dependency on imports and on oil exports, and a rising public debt and fiscal deficit.
Chavez also centralized political power as he gained control of the main institutions of Venezuelan society—the military, the judiciary, the congress, the central bank, the electoral council, the most important broadcast media, etc.—and did so by trampling on due process and basic civil and political liberties.
The vast expansion of state power led to a neglect of traditional functions of government such as security or keeping up infrastructure, and to an increase in corruption. Crime under Chavez skyrocketed. When he came to power in 1999, the country experienced less than 6,000 homicides per year; in 2012 that number reached about 21,700. By 2012, Venezuela’s ranking in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index fell to 165 out of 174 countries. The systematic corruption of the Chavez regime that Gustavo Coronel documented in a 2006 Cato study only got worse in subsequent years.
The economy did grow under Chavez and poverty was reduced as occurred through most of the region, but annual growth in Venezuela averaged 3.3 percent from 1999 to 2011, below the rates experienced by Chile, Peru or Colombia—all market democracies that didn’t sacrifice basic liberties in an attempt to achieve such progress. The complete economic record of Chavez’s rule will take into account the decline in wages and per capita income that result from any future crisis his policies engendered. Only then will Venezuelans be able to fully assess the extent to which the last 14 years were recklessly squandered, and hopefully move away from the state-dominated development model which has afflicted Venezuelan society for decades.

Hobby Lobby

Tragic letter from The Hobby Lobby CEO: results of personal freedoms slipping away

January 3, 2013 By The Brenner Brief 48 Comments

The Hobby Lobby CEO (left) and his wife

This letter is a very sad example of what happens when our personal freedoms and liberties are taken away. America wasn’t built on this, readers, and we absolutely must share this to show people the impact the Obama administration is having on every-day Americans.

When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames. Our first retail store wasn’t much bigger than most people’s living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God‘s word. From there, Hobby Lobby has become one of the nation’s largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together, as a family.
We’re Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I’ve always said that the first two goals of our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God’s laws, and (2) to focus on people more than money. And that’s what we’ve tried to do. We close early so our employees can see their families at night. We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one of the week’s biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their families can enjoy a day of rest. We believe that it is by God’s grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and our employees. We’ve not only added jobs in a weak economy, we’ve raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time employees start at 80% above minimum wage.
But now, our government threatens to change all of that. A new government health care mandate says that our family business MUST provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance. Being Christians, we don’t pay for drugs that might cause abortions, which means that we don’t cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs. It goes against the Biblical principles on which we have run this company since day one. If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in government fines.
Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy. Our government threatens to fine a company that’s raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its beliefs. It’s not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the rules; that it’s the same for everybody. But that’s not true. The government has exempted thousands of companies from this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won’t exempt them for reasons of religious belief.
So, Hobby Lobby – and my family – are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it hurts our business. We don’t like to go running into court, but we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.
My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the government is going to make that much more difficult. The government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law. I say that’s a choice no American – and no American business – should have to make.
The government cannot force you to follow laws that go against your fundamental religious belief. They have exempted thousands of companies but will not except Christian organizations including the Catholic church.
Since you will not see this covered in any of the liberal media, pass this on to all your contacts.
Sincerely,
David Green, CEO and Founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

Oklahoma!!!!!

Oklahoma is the only state that Obama did not win even one county in the last election... While everyone is focusing on Arizona ’s new law, look what Oklahoma h...

as been doing!!!!

An update from Oklahoma :

Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9 an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this i
s a conservative state, based on Christian values...! HB 1330

Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB 1804. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake.

Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegal's to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional SB 1102

Guess what......... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas , Montana and Utah as the only states to do so.
More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi and Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003

The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a setback for the criminals The Liberals didn't like it -- But....
Guess what........... Oklahoma did it anyway.

Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL drivers’ license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. They have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple.

By the way, the Liberals don't like any of this either

Guess what...who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway.

If you like it, pass it on, if you don't then delete it...Thanks Guess what : they people I'm sending this to , will send it on. Well, at least the ones who love and believe in freedom will.

NaturalNews) It is the ultimate example of how you reap what you sow: Huge numbers of American workers who voted for Obama are now seeing their own jobs slashed below 30 hours a week as employers desperately try to avoid "Obamacare bankruptcy."

Obamacare mandates for businesses only apply to those working 30 hours a week or more, and while many businesses do not want to cut workers' hours, they are being forced to in order to stay afloat. This necessary action is causing businesses to lose money and become less competitive while at the same time destroying American jobs.

Some businesses are also slashing job positions in an effort to get below the 50-employee threshold above which Obamacare mandates kick in. So across the country, we're not only seeing workers lose hours thanks to Obamacare; we're also seeing workers losing their jobs.

But the Obama administration will announce these results to be a huge "job creation success!" because workers must now find two part-time jobs that usually pay less than the one full-time job they used to have. The raw job numbers, however, will be spun by the White House into a victory pronouncement of "twice as many jobs exist now!"

Be careful what you vote for

A note to Obama supporters: When you thought you were voting for "free health care," you were actually voting to get yourself "downsized." Your vote was an act of economic suicide. That's because no government can force a business to pay for something that will put it out of business. When government mandates become too expensive for a business to afford, it will simply stop conducting business and that means cutting jobs or job hours.

Imagine: If Obama announced a new initiative called "double pay for all workers" and made it a federal law, he would of course win another popular vote. But employers wouldn't be able to afford the double pay mandate, so they would start slashing jobs or offshoring jobs, and that's exactly what we see today. Every employer in America is right now asking himself these three questions in order to stay above water and not go bankrupt:

#1) How can we slash workers to under 30 hours a week?
#2) How can we offshore jobs to India or other countries?
#3) How can we cut our total number of employees to under fifty?

This is the upshot of Obamacare: the destruction of America's small businesses.

The largest businesses pay almost no tax

At the same time small businesses are struggling to afford Obamacare, mega-corporations like Google are proudly announcing they're paying only 3.5% in taxes thanks to a complex array of global tax-shifting strategies with names like the "Double Irish" and "Dutch Sandwich." As Bloomberg recently reported:

Google Inc. (GOOG) avoided about $2 billion in worldwide income taxes in 2011 by shifting $9.8 billion in revenues into a Bermuda shell company, almost double the total from three years before, filings show. By legally funneling profits from overseas subsidiaries into Bermuda, which doesn’t have a corporate income tax, Google cut its overall tax rate almost in half. The amount moved to Bermuda is equivalent to about 80 percent of Google’s total pretax profit in 2011.

So while Google, one of the wealthiest corporations in the world, pays just 3.5% in TOTAL tax, small businesses across America find themselves paying 30%, 40%, even 50% of their earnings in total taxes, including FICA, social security, inventory tax, capital gains and now Obamacare surcharges and taxes. This is how Obamacare works: Protect the corporate giants while socking it to small and medium-sized businesses.

Obamacare is gutting America's economy and throwing a wrench into the economic machinery that keeps America working. You know why service is so slow at retailers these days? Because Obamacare forced the employer to slash workers' hours. Why do car parts take so long to order and deliver? Because Obamacare gutted the human resources of the parts manufacturers. Why is everything becoming slower, more expensive and more frustrating across the economy? Because Obamacare mandates have forced employers to downsize or lay off their most productive workers.

I ask: What good is a health insurance mandate if it destroys your job in the process of being enforced?

Obamacare supporters have little understanding of economic reality

The simple truth of all this is that economics is a subject best left to those people capable of understanding mathematics, and that precludes the vast majority of voters of either political party. Mathematically speaking, Obama's so-called "mandate" isn't even a real mandate: Less than half of eligible voters actually voted in this recent election, and barely half of those voted for Obama. This means that roughly 75% of eligible voters didn't vote for Obama, yet they must suffer under his economic policies which are based in pure fantasy and delusion.

Obama has zero business experience. He has no clue how economics really works and no knowledge of how to run a successful business, much less the executive branch of government. I know what it takes to create multi-million-dollar companies because I've done it successfully and repeatedly, and I can assure you that the economic policies currently being pursued in Washington will only destroy jobs, destroy America's economy and destroy our economic future.

Democrats, it seems, believe the solution to all this is to make taxpayers pay even more money to the federal government. As we are told by the lamestream media, apparently the only reason the economy isn't celebrating a rapid expansion right now is because workers and businesses are allowed to keep too much of their own incomes. If only Washington D.C. had more of your money, they would use it more wisely, we're told, and fix all our problems. Obamacare is just the beginning: power-hungry zealots like Obama have plans for centralizing control and running everything in your life: health care, food choices, educational choices, private property, energy consumption, home gardening and anything else you might imagine.

So rather than thinking of ways to cut cancerous government out of the economy like a deadly tumor, the people who run the government can only imagine variations of ways to keep expanding it. (This is true across both Republicans and Democrats.) Government expansion necessarily requires an expansion of confiscation from businesses and workers. This action, of course, destroys international competitiveness and American jobs.

How to really create economic abundance in America

It's all cause and effect, folks. If you really want to uplift America's economy, create millions of quality jobs and put the kind of money into the hands of workers that can help them afford private health insurance, you've got to slash the size of government by 80% across the board. Let businesses and workers keep 80% of what they normally send to Washington. With that kind of money in their pockets and bank accounts, workers would EASILY be able to afford health insurance. They would also spend their newly-expanded discretionary incomes on all sorts of products and services that would be a boon to the economy.

Government, you see, is the eternal enemy of economic prosperity. Government has been and always will be a parasite on the economy. Obama and his worshippers don't understand economics. They don't understand what it takes to create abundance out of hard work, dedication and honest savings and investment. It's all summed up in Obama's atrociously insulting quote, "If you have a business, you didn't built that... somebody else made that happen!"

That's a lie. Government builds nothing. It only destroys that which others have built. And Obamacare has succeeded in only one thing: the "scorched Earth" destruction of American jobs and the rapid erosion of economic prosperity.

If you voted for Obama and you're now unemployed or had your hours cut, you are getting a first-hand view of economic cause and effect. I'm not saying Romney would have been any better, because he was just another Goldman Sachs puppet. The real solution to all this is Ron Paul, who wanted to slash the size of government and send people's money back home so they could spend it the way they choose instead of having a bunch of over-fed, over-paid bureaucrats spending their money in D.C.

Instead of blaming Obama, of course, the vast majority of the recently-unemployed will blame their employer! "How dare you cut my hours!" they will scream, oblivious to the fact that their employer did NOT want to cut their hours but was forced to by a cabal of economic morons in Washington who are dismantling America's economy one piece of legislation at a time.

Putting Democrats in charge of the economy is kind of like putting kindergarteners in charge of nuclear missiles. The outcome can never be good... a lot of people are going to get hurt... and somebody else sooner or later has to clean up the mess.

In four years, things will be far worse

As bad as you might think things are right now, in four more years under Obama, they will be far, far worse.

Unemployment will continue to rise. Millions more Americans will desperately turn to food stamps. Crime waves will hit cities like Detroit, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Homelessness will spread, and people who used to have one good job will find themselves working two or three part-time jobs instead, none of which offer real benefits.

Like a heroin addict who can't quit his cycle of self-destruction, the Obama administration will then insist, two or three years from now, that the problem is caused by government still not confiscating enough money from taxpayers and small businesses. The call for raising more taxes, growing more government and dictating economic policy to the nation will be parroted across the lamestream media.

In the end, the system will collapse. When that day comes, don't be anywhere near a large U.S. city. The reasons for that will be discussed in an upcoming article right here on Natural News.

King obama and Moochers

And to think that Geo. W. Bush would just go to his Texas ranch on vacation and he still was criticized by the Left. At least it didn't cost the taxpayers $$$$
Another vacation coming up this Christmas for the Obama’s will cost American taxpayers over $4 million dollars. So how much is it costing us to support the first family? The number is much worse than you could possibly imagine.
“Every year (taxpayers in England) have to spend $57.8 million for the first family of Great Britain to make sure that everything’s maintained and everything is taken care of and their security and everything else, $57.8 million. And the people in England are upset about it,” Glenn explained this morning.
“How much did we pay our royal family? How much did it take to maintain our royal family, the Obamas, just last year? Now, this is really interesting, especially as we come up for another vacation for the Obamas. This one is going to cost us $4 million. This vacation in Hawaii for Christmas is going to cost you $4 million. How much did we spend last year? Remember, the royal family cost $57.8 million. Would you be stunned if I told you it was $50 million? Would you be ‑‑ would you be bowled over if it was $100 million? How much do we spend? The total last year, a little higher than $57.8 million.”
So what was it? $60 million? No. $100 million? Nope. $250 million? Not even close.
The answer: $1.4 billion
“Look, I have no problem, no problem with the president of the United States taking a vacation. I’ve never had a problem with it. I’ve never had a problem with the president going on vacation when it was Bill Clinton, when it was George W. Bush or even Obama. There is an extraordinary number of vacation and golf days in this man’s schedule and an extraordinary number of campaign days in this man’s schedule, but I have no problem with him taking a vacation. But a $4 million vacation is a little over the top. And that’s just this vacation,” Glenn said.
“Again, perspective. As we were sitting in the bus and we heard about a $4 million, I said to Pat, I wonder how much they spend on the royal family. How much do they spend on the royal family compared to how much we spend on the Obama vacations and the Obama houses? And we got that number and it came from a book that is now, you know, the rage over in England. Of course we’re not saying anything about it here. It’s now the rage over in England. It’s more than 20 times.”

The Chip and Obamacare

Will Americans be subject to implantable devices under the Obamacare program

UPDATE 1 - Will Americans be subject to implantable devices under the Obamacare program, a deeper look, you read, you decide, lets figure this out
Alternative W...

orld News Network

A great debate has arose from a topic that is a growing concerns to many Americans as the time grows near for the implementation of the new health bill, due to take effect in March of 2013. Many have shown concerns on the topic of could and will persons in the program be implanted with a type 2 implantable device. We will look at the bills, look at what it says, and you decide. It could be a yes we will, or a maybe it could, or only in certain cases. But the wording allows it to be oh so abused.

Our first article was written by the great people WorldTruth.TV
, the article we shared of theirs was this piece : http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=478823795493823&set=a.157200904322782.28222.154779684564904&type=1&theater&notif_t=photo_comment

We have had some great staff work on this along with great fans who also came up with some incredible research, wanting to get the truth out to you the people in making an educated judgement for themselves.

Mr K. wrote : If it's over the Obamacare people need to research they keep referring to the HR 3200 page 1001 which was the first draft defeated in the senate. But a sad fact HR 3962 did pass. And page 1502 has the same words expect implantable. They still have the same chip listed but just don't say implantable. But the only way to use a class 2 device is implantable. So a lot of people are in denial and haven't checked there facts. Which I will make easy right now, to give proof. Here is Hr 3200 THE ONE THAT DID NOT PASS scroll down to 1000 and 1001 National Medical Registry Device. http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-111hr3200ih/pdf/BILLS-111hr3200ih.pdf THIS IS THE ONE THAT DID PASS. HR 3962 page 1502 and read The National Medical Registry Device. It's still there a class 2 device what is a class 2 device a VERICHIP now called Positive ID. WAKE UP ITS REAL http://housedocs.house.gov/rules/health/111_ahcaa.pdf

All the non passed version and passed version of the actual bill in PDF form are provided above.

Further more, other article preformed around the net, recopied again and again and circulated, the information this article provides is as follows, and it refers to the one that did not pass I believe.

There's a pretty starling thing in the bill that 95% of Americans won't like.

ObamaCare has a microchip implant for you… The Obama Health care bill includes (under Class II, Paragraph 1, Section B) “(ii) a class II device that is implantable”. Then on page 1004 it describes what the term “data” means in paragraph 1, section B:
14 (B) In this paragraph, the term ‘data’ refers to
15 information respecting a device described in paragraph (1),
16 including claims data, patient survey data, standardized
17 analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of
18 data from disparate data environments, electronic health
19 records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the
20 Secretary
As approved by the FDA, a class II implantable device is an “implantable radio frequency transponder system for patient identification and health information.”

This sort of device would be implanted in the majority of people who opt to become covered by the public health care option. With the reform of the private insurance companies, many people will switch their coverage to a more affordable insurance plan. This means the number of people who choose the public option will increase. This also means the number of people chipped will be plentiful as well. The adults who choose to have a chip implanted are the lucky (yes, lucky) ones in this case. Children who are "born in the United States who at the time of birth is not otherwise covered under acceptable coverage" will be qualified and placed into the CHIP or Children's Health Insurance Program (what a convenient name). With a name like CHIP it would seem consistent to have the chip implanted into a child. Children conceived by parents who are already covered under the public option will more than likely be implanted with a chip by the consent of the parent. Eventually everyone will be implanted with a chip.

This is an on going open debate forum on the topic, we researching the actual facts,
Q: Could it be used?
A: YES.

Q: Will it be used?
A: POSSIBLY?

Q:Is it sinister in nature?
A: Your guess is as good as mine.

But if there is something wrong with this program, would you not want to know before hand, and possibly get it changed? Or would you prefer to find out about it after the fact, then its done and implemented? We need to understand we have to ask questions, we have to expose the truth on the matter. It may enrage some people, and so it should. Others will not give two hoots one way or another.

But you have freedom of choice, so 1st educate yourselves. Get involved.

I am sure there is more research on the fact. If you know more information on the subject, message us with you search results, one way or another, pro or con. We can to look at what possible

Social Security Now Federal Benefit

SOCIAL SECURITY NOW CALLED 'FEDERAL BENEFIT PAYMENT'/ENTITLEMENT!

Have you noticed, your Social Security check is now referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment"?
I'll be part of the one percent to share this.

...

The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a
“Federal Benefit Payment.” This isn’t a benefit – its earned income
Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too.

It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security.

If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both your and your employer’s contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate
compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $13+ million dollars saved! This is your
personal investment.

Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive
$39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month.
That’s almost three times more than today’s average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration (Google it - it’s a fact).

And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could
live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts.
Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff ever did.
They took our money and used it elsewhere. They “forgot” that it was OUR money they were taking.
They didn’t have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them.

And they didn’t pay interest on the debt they assumed.
And recently, they’ve told us that the money won’t support us for very much longer.
But is it our fault they misused our investments?

And now, to add insult to injury, they’re calling it a “benefit,” as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they “borrowed” the money, doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let’s take a stand.

We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare.
Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government –

Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going, for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it.
Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.

If is now a reality

If Obama is re-elected in 2012, the US is finished. The following is in simple language that everyone can understand, not the gibberish that our government keeps telling people.

Please read this carefully and make sure you keep this message going. This needs to be emailed to everyone in the USA ...

By Wayne Allyn Root

Barack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. On the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. Barack Obama was my college classmate.

 

( Columbia University , class of '83).

 

He is a devout Muslim; do not be fooled. Look at his czars... Anti-business anti-American. As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University ... they outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands.

Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a Socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival... And can be counted on to always vote for even bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.

Universal Health Care:

The Health Care bill has very little to do with healthcare. It has everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and healthcare workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn’t care that giving free healthcare to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?

Cap and Trade:

Like healthcare legislation having nothing to do with healthcare, Cap and Trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama’s biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama spread the wealth around.

Making Puerto Rico a state:

Who’s asking for a 51st state? Who’s asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers! But this has been Barack Obama’s plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressmen and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government. (This will tip the balance of those living off the government to more than those who must pay for it; and we're done for.)

Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants:

Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free healthcare alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security. (see note above re: Puerto Rico )

Stimulus and bailouts.

Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).

All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America . The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.

The ends justify the means. Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it(except vote for Obama).

Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Barack Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.

Add it up and you’ve got the perfect Marxist scheme all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan.http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/overwhelm.asp

Last point: think about what this designed rule of the rabble will do to anyone successful and everyone receiving this is. What will your lives be like under communism? The time to fight this abomination is now. I know a lot of you think this is crazy but, what if we are right. Do you want to gamble of your children and grand-children’s future?

The End of an Era

Our Constitutional Republic died a peaceful death on November 6, 2012. Having reached the point of no return in a comatose state after years of progressive and illegal immigration assaults, the fabric of conservative society is now completely unraveled and Uncle Sam’s America is no more. The United States of America is now relegated to the dust bin of history as a “has been” empire. The Shining City on the Hill, the hope of so many millions since July 4, 1776, no longer exists. What rises from the ashes is a country that few of us will recognize, like, or learn to accept submissively.


After 236 years of existence, a new country emerges today, run by secular progressives who rejected our Constitution, what we stand for, and who we are as a nation. The Supreme Court will be forever altered after its last conservative members will be replaced by the liberal academics who call themselves “progressives.” The rule of law will be implemented by Executive Orders, making Congress irrelevant.

The communist motto “Forward” that resonated with so many ignorant Americans will plunge us into many years of darkness from which we will never be able to recover. We have proven our Founding Fathers right, they did give us a Constitutional Republic and we were unable to maintain it.

The forces of the failed communist fundamental transformation that were driven underground in many places around the world, resurfaced with a vengeance in the United States and have now taken over.

How long we will still have freedom of speech, movement, assembly, and control of our private property remains to be seen. Faith and churches will be driven underground; allowing secularism to prosper and take deep roots among the progressives whose God is Mother Earth.



The welfare dependent Americans, unions, and illegal aliens have chosen for the rest of us the dark path of serfdom to big government and to socialist utopia.

Who would have guessed that the very people who were complaining that the government is not extricating them from disaster or giving them the help they needed in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, would vote for the very politicians who turned their backs on needy Americans after the lights went dark when the political photo opportunities ended?
Who would have guessed that Americans were as ignorant and irresponsible as to choose fiscal destruction over fiscal sanity for their children and grandchildren, secularism and communism over faith, dependence over personal responsibility and self-reliance?
Americans have been protesting for the last four years the dismal state of the economy and the direction of our country, the corruption of our politicians, and the loss of personal and economic freedom.

Rallies in support of conservatism overwhelmed venues for Mitt Romney while rallies for our bumbling President became scarcer and scarcer. Yet, miraculously, at the ballot box, our President won all over the country.
We lost seats in the Senate. Americans chose liars and cheats to be their Senators and Representatives, rejecting those who protected the Constitution. The candidate from Massachusetts who claimed direct American Indian lineage to Pocahontas is now a Senator, having defeated Scott Brown.
Representative Allen West lost his seat by a narrow margin.
Americans chose high unemployment, reduction of our military, communist indoctrination of their children, and loss of personal freedoms unlike we have never seen before in this country.
I am saddened by the loss of millions and millions of American soldiers who have died to preserve freedom yet we lost it on November 6, 2012. Those buried in cemeteries around the world and at Arlington must be rolling in their graves today. We shamelessly allowed their sacrifice of blood and treasure to go in vain. We have no honor because we let down all the soldiers who fought in recent times and returned home limbless with lives shattered from physical and mental wounds of war.
I mourn today the loss of my adopted country. I have fought hard over the last four years to prevent its overt and accelerated destruction but the darker forces stronger than many of us have overcome concerted efforts by millions of Americans to maintain the Republic. Mediocrity, sloth, godlessness, dependence, cowardice, using the law selectively or ignoring it, and hopeless corruption will define the new country.

Only God can save us now with his mercy and grace.

General Colin Powell

So now Colin Powell comes out and in nothing less than a scathing indictment publicly says Obama utterly failed to develop a suitable climate to grow business and as such realistically improve the economy. Powell also accused Obama of creating an atmosphere that is hostile and fractured which prevented even a modicum of ability for a partisan working environment. Powell went on to say that if Obama is to be successful he must accomplish these two things.





Well hell's bells, ain't that magnanimous of Mr. Powell? Has he lost his mind? Does he forget that he helped reelect this nightmare?



In what scenario does Powell remotely see Obama making such an effort? And if Powell believes that the day after election, with an unambiguous track record of Obama doing the polar opposite, why did Powell endorse him?



I submit that the answer is crystal clear. Powell supported Obama exclusively because of his skin color. And even more egregious, he did so with the complete understanding that Obama was bad for business, bad for the economy, and completely averse to even working with those in his own party much less those on the opposite side of the aisle.



Powell was a military person. He is supposed to place the needs of his country above all. He is supposed to place concern for his troops above all. He is supposed to exemplify honor and integrity.



But when the smoke and excrement clear, Powell, by nothing less than his own admission, voted for Obama and promoted him for reelection based purely on the color of Obama's skin. His words prove that he is fully aware that Obama failed in his first term and will do so in his second.



It's a sad day when even a once highly respected commander turns a blind eye to the threat to our country because the threat has the right skin color.

True Courage

CLEARWATER – Libertarian Party of Florida Chairman Adrian Wyllie will surrender his driver’s license in protest of Florida’s implementation of the Real ID Act at noon on Tuesday, May 17 at the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles office at 29399 Hwy 19 North in Clearwater (map). He has invited the public to witness the protest, and urges others to do the same.

Under the Real ID Act, state law requires that all applicants for a driver’s license or identification card submit an array of personal information, including an original birth certificate, social security card, marriage license(s), utility bills, and other documents. These documents are then scanned into an interstate database managed by the Department of Homeland security.

In addition to the new documentation requirements, Florida now requires that all driver’s license and state ID card applicants be subjected to a “digital facial image capture” that is compatible with facial recognition software. Wyllie believes that all of these intrusive requirements are a violation of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and his ultimate goal is to challenge Real ID in court. Wyllie has been outspoken on Real ID, as well as RFID and facial recognition use with drivers’ licenses on his syndicated AM radio show, Liberty Underground.

“After surrendering my driver’s license, I will immediately contact the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office to advise them that I am now driving in violation of Florida statute 322.03, paragraph 1,” said Wyllie.

It is his intention to attempt to renew his driver’s license without being subjected to the new, unconstitutional requirements under Real ID Act of 2005.
Should the DHSMV not allow him to renew his driver’s license under these conditions, he plans to surrender his driver’s license to them. However, he says that he will continue to drive as an exercise of his common law right, and as a protest to Real ID.

If necessary, Wyllie says he is willing to be arrested for driving without a driver’s license. “I will do so willingly and peacefully to avoid additional charges, such as resisting, obstruction, etc. Martyrdom is not my intention,” said Wyllie. “An arrest or citation under FS 322.03(1) would simply establish standing in court, so that I may challenge the law.”

Wyllie will assert that the DHSMV cannot compel one to produce the required documentation as a precondition of operating a personal vehicle. Nor can they require one to present personal papers or effects, or be subject to a “digital facial image capture” used for the purposes of facial recognition identification. Doing so would force one to waive one’s Fourth Amendment rights.
Since the Real ID Act requires that no person shall be recognized for any official federal government purpose without a Real ID compliant identification card or driver’s license, it places one in the position of having to waive their Fourth Amendment rights in order to be considered a recognized U.S. citizen.

VIDEO UPDATE: Wyllie Surrenders License in Real ID Protest,

Christianity Under Attack

So many laws are created to keep our civilized society in check. Yet these laws are broken every day. Some people break the law because they don't know that was a law. We have courts police and a multi million dollar industry to protect and enforce these laws. New laws are being created every day. A judge in one of the states, I don't remember which had the 10 commandments posted in the court room. He was forced to remove them. In every religion, there is a form of the 10 commandments. That should be the law of the land and world.I don't think it was a religious issue that he was forced to remove the 10 commandment, but a financial issue that would ruin the gravy train the lawyers enjoy. The more laws the more money for the lawyers. Less Laywers in Washington means less creation of laws.

Liberty Defined

I just  finished reading Ron Paul's Liberty defined. He does NOT agree that we should send foreign aid to ANY countries including Israel. He supports Israel. Think about this. We give foreign aid to Israel and Israel's enemies.How does that help Israel. All that does is burden our tax payers. I know he advocates allowing people to be responsible for themselves an ability we are losing psychologically. We have come to the point were we need a law for everything. Forget about treating your neighbors the way you would like to be treated. Forget the golden rule. We are turning into domestic animals, who need to be housebroken, trained and controlled.

Fabian Socialism

http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/article.php?articleid=4764

How about a Marxist socialist? The difference between the Marxist and the Fabian is somewhat of an important difference, but from Marx's point of view, socialism was going to be the answer to the capitalist economic system. And what Marx did was divide basically the human race into two groups, the proletariat and the bourgeois. And from a Marxist point of view, the bourgeois needed to be eliminated so that we could have peace on earth, and goodwill to all the socialists, I guess.
But the Fabian socialists came along with a different idea. They came along with the same socialist idea, but instead of dividing the world between the two groups, they decided that they were going to bring about socialism through a more peaceful process. In other words, the Bolsheviks were known as the party of slaughter, and we had to ultimately get rid of the bourgeois. And they did, by the way, Brannon. They killed tens of thousands. I think the numbers are probably closer to 100 and some million.
But the Fabians decided that they were not going to use the heavy hand. They were going to go slowly and surely, and that's what they did.
The word Fabian comes from a Roman general by the name of Fabius who was – he was up against the Carthaginians and Hannibal, and he decided that he wasn't going to face them head on, but he was going to – he was going to go through them, and he was going to go above them, and he was going to go below them. He was going to use a lot of different tactics to defeat them, so that's what he did.



And so the Fabians were founded about 1883, and what I find interesting is that the Fabian Society was founded the very year that Marx himself died. Marx died in March of 1883. At his funeral, there were about six in attendance, and so I suspect that most people thought this was the end of Marx and Marxism and socialism and communism. But the truth is, it was just the beginning, because Marxism took off, of course, into the 20th century big time.
Also in 1883, the Fabian Society was founded in England, and this is the group that decided we were going to use a little different tactic than just the Bolshevik tactic. So the Fabian socialists to a great extent had the same socialism in mind as the Marxists, but they had a little different approach on how they were going to do it. A lot of us look upon what's going on even today as somehow, you know, well, it's just going on today, but what are the predecessors? Well, I think as Christians, we need to get back and get the – and get the historical footing on this whole thing, too.
So Fabian socialism is a – is a term that comes from a British organization called the British Fabian Society, founded in 1883, and then it has progressed from that to the present time, and has had a tremendous success in England and in this country, and really around the world in many ways. Basically, Europe today is becoming very socialistic in nearly every country in Europe.



So they have done their homework. ____ take your hats off to this group, because they started very small, but they just kept building and building and building. And they have now reached the point where you could argue that even in our own country, the United States of America, the whole Fabian socialist approach has succeeded way beyond anyone's imagination today.

Big day the the Commies in DC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkw7n9Qagu8
It was a big day for the lefties in DC. Just like in a country like Cuba, these people were"urged" to be at that protest. The union people SEIU etc. were requested by there handlers to attend this circus. They just can't wait to be told what to do. These people can't think for themselves.

Helen Thomas: Jews Should Go Back to 'Germany' or 'Poland' and 'Get the Hell Out of Palestine'
By Ken Shepherd (Bio | Archive)
Fri, 06/04/2010 - 14:22 ET

White House press corps dean Helen Thomas -- on the day that the White House hosted a Jewish Heritage Celebration, no less -- said that Jews who live in Israel should "get the hell out of Palestine" and go "home."
When asked where home was for Israeli Jews, Thomas offered "Poland, Germany... and America and everywhere else" from which the founding generation of the State of Israel originally hailed.

Breitbart.tv has the YouTube video, which was released by RabbiLive.com (h/t Gateway Pundit). At right you can view our Eyeblast version by clicking the play button in the embed.

It's been centuries decades since anyone believed Helen Thomas was anywhere near an objective journalist, but this makes it clear that she's at best tactless and unreasonable and at worst an anti-Semite.

Question to mull over in the comments section: Should Thomas lose her coveted seat in the White House press briefing room over this?

Report from Washington- The ends justify the means

Sunday morning Betsi and her Georgia Tea Party Patriot member Craig picked me up at the Hotel
Harrington at 10:15am. We drove down Pennsylvania Avenue on this bright beautiful morning, refreshed and full of fight. The prayer service was scheduled for 11am at the steps on the east side of the Capitol.
As we walked up the drive we stopped at the stairs leading up to the Rotunda and joined others in prayer on our knees on the steps.
We then joined the large crowd that had gathered in front of the House of Representatives Wing and were told that we had been "booted" from this section and had to move our group around to the West side in the lawn.
We then regathered in force after 15-20 minute walk and the prayer service began with speakers with a bullhorn leading prayer, song and inspiring talk. Our friend the trumpet player was front and center to
accompany the songs with his true trumpet talent, and it was indeed majestic on that hill in the crisp Sunday sun.
A peace came over the group.
The news began to filter thru the ranks that everyone could get in line on the east side and go into the Chamber for 30 minutes at a time without a pass to watch the debate. Betsi who had driven from Georgia, and had long scheduled house guests due to arrive on Monday felt obligated to return home and left after the service for her long drive back. Almost immediately, I hear someone yelling at me and turn to see our member Ron who works in St Pete, and lives in Bradenton. We quickly decided to head to the line to get in the House Chamber together.
We stood in line for a full 2 hours and arrived in the chamber unbelievably at 2pm. We thought at that time that the actual vote was scheduled for 2pm and we were incrdulous that we might in fact actually be there for the vote. I was afraid that little coincidence may land me in jail! Not knowing if I could be able to control myself in the Gallery! But no worry, instead we were there to witness Patrick Kennedy go on about how they owed it to his "Faaather" to pass the bill! It was torture to listen to this sick man go on and on. He needs professional help!
Ron and I and others used part of our time in the presence of the Members of this body to silently pray for a change in their hearts at votetime.
The chamber was only half full, and it is annoying to see them cutting up with one another, talking across the aisles, getting up and walking around, coming and going while arguments are being made by both sides. I said to Ron, "They should all have to sit here and listen to each other." Pelosi, and many other key members were not even there as presentations were made on the legislation from the members.
Then we had to leave, our turn was up.
A little coffee, a sandwich at Union Train Station 3 blocks away to rest up. There were absolutely no vendors anywhere closer, not even water.
We returned to the crowd which had now been moved once again, this time to the south side of the Capitol and the wait continued. As the sun began to lower there was a march of tens of thousands of people approaching from the direction of Pennsylvania Avenue. They seemed to split into two groups at the reflection pond down at the foot of the West side and as they approached we saw their tshirts and signs. They were Mexicans marching for Immigration Reform and Amnesty Now. There were thousands of them and I heard later that Obama had talked to them by closed circuit earlier promising to deliver Immigration Reform. And I don't think they mean a border fence.
That is all I know about that, but I saw several of them carrying signs, one said," Where is My American Dream?". At the same time they were passing, our group was yelling chants in unison, such as "Kill the Bill! Kill the Bill!" And "We represent 55%!" I have to tell you standing in the middle of all of this drama and watching these aliens seeking amnesty from an administration needing their votes to make up for the moderate voters they have lost in order to keep control, was obvious. These people demanding amnesty, and ultimately healthcare at our expense, will also be the ones voting against our interests the rest of our lives! The rest of our childrens lives! They will take us down like California. We are in the fight of our LIVES!!!
They were yelling at us and marching by taunting us, we were yelling at the Capitol. Everyone was yelling. There were people in purple shirts, SEIU, now starting to infiltrate our group.
It was then we decided to get back in line to go into the chamber again.

Our ranks had diminished as our people had to leave to return to their homes for their own reasons, yet both Ron and I had scheduled our return on Monday just in case of delays. So that was good, no pressure. We were both there for the duration. Another 2 hours in line and we are again seated and this time we hear Congressman Paul Ryan from Wisconsin give a great presentation on the "cooking of the books" in the projected cost with charts, that no one paid any attention to from the other side of the aisle as they were by now giddy with excitement because the news was out that Stupak had caved. And then Mike Pence spoke , on the outrage of the process that had been employed.
We had to leave again. It was about 10pm.
As we leave the building, the line to get in is now at least a 3 hour wait based on our experience and we know the end of the line is now longer than the approaching vote. We decide to simply go out, join the crowd in the dark and wait.
Congressmen come outside on the balcony and cheer us on, or laugh at us, depending on which side they are from. The Patriots being led by a bull horn have not stopped chanting nonstop for hours! Hours! I am talking 50-70 year old Americans and the Congressmen come out and hold the House Doors open while Nancy Pelosi is speaking prior to the vote hopeing the chamber can hear us and the decimals level went off the charts as the crowd went from "Just Say No, Just Say No, Just Say No!" To "No, No, No, No, No, No, No!" They yelled just the word "No!" in gunfire succession for probably 15 minutes! It was unbelieveable. I called my daughter in Florida and she counted down the vote on cspan with me on the phone and we cried together. "202, 206, 209, mom, 213, 216. " Then on to 219
The enemy had gotten over the wall! We shot arrows, muskets, balls of fire, we pushed down their ladders as they kept rushing the fortress, but somehow they got a few in the wall that opened the gate and they are inside!
It is time to get in this fight! I need your help. If we cannot get them all out in November, all is lost.
And as I write this at this very moment I hear Biden introducing Obama to sign this crime into law.
Please resolve to join me in this fight before it is too late. We must immediately engage actively in the Florida 10th amendment activites. 10th amendment, the election and the legal challenges. More to come.
