Climate Change Is Real

Climate Change Is Real
Kevin Bryant

During the 2008 Presidential campaign, almost every democratic candidates stated that it was”not only our right to question our government, it is our patriotic duty to do so” or something similar. Now if someone dare question this administration or this congress for its actions or inactions, that person is labeled an obstructionist, angry right winger, bigot, tea-bagger, redneck, and those are just the nicer words used.

This used to be a country of free speech, a country where every opinion was welcomed and encouraged. Now what are we, a nation that punishes people because they hold views that might not be politically correct such as Miss California’s belief in traditional marriage and faith? If you are a conservative talk radio or television host on anything other than NPR, NBC, CBS, MSNBC and to some extent ABC, then you are guilty of promoting hate speech and racial divisions and yet it is the liberal left that has for years silenced opposition and kept the country divided along lines of race and economics.

Murderers, terrorist, felons, mafia members and just about every representative of every culture in the world is allowed to freely enter Great Britain, but Michael Weiner (Michael Savage) is banned from entering that country because according to their government, he promotes hate speech. What is he guilty of, not being aired on NPR? I never knew that was such an horrific crime.

Congress now is pushing a tougher hate crimes bill. News flash people, anyone can commit a hate crime, and the constitution says that all citizens are equally protected under the law. In this new bill, if a gay individual attempts to pick pocket me and I turn around and slug this person, I can be charged with a hate crime. If I attempt to pick pocket a gay individual and they hit me, they are exempted from committing a crime because they were just defending their property. Is that equal protection? I don’t think so. What happens if the gay person is black and the pick pocket is Mexican? My guess would be since neither is a white heterosexual Christian, no hate crime has been committed.

It used to be that those who knew about crimes and did not report them could be charged with obstruction of justice and in some instances they will be today. What if a major city’s administration, like San Francisco, knows it is harboring a felon that is in this country illegally; think anyone would be charged with obstruction of justice? I don’t think so since it happens all the time.

Climate change is real and it is rapidly happening. It’s just not the climate change that Al Gore, the left and the enviro-wackos are telling us. The political climate has been changing in this country since the 1920’s but at no time in our history has it been changing faster than it has over the 15 years. Since the day Bill Clinton took office to George W. Bush’s last day, the political climate has steadily been progressing further left but since the day Obama took the helm, political climate change has accelerated at such an alarming pace that it is virtually impossible to keep up with.

A majority of the world’s population used to envy the United States and marvel at our freedoms, our liberties and the manner in which our economy was based. Now even the French sit there dumbfounded at the way we have allowed our country to deteriorate. I think the French has a right to be because I don’t understand it myself.

Big Brother wants your GPS coordinates

AP Photo/Reed Saxon, File

Most of us have been through the Census Bureau questions, and filling out the form hasn’t raised the hair on the back of your neck……until now. The announcement to take the Census from the Department of Commerce, and hand it over to the executive branch of government, a month ago, raised a few questions, but that was about it.

The conservatives looked at that move rather warily, and now we are seeing what the White House has in store for us. In the past, an address was good enough for the census, but now it no longer is. The government wants to map the GPS coordinates directly to you front door! In fact this very thing is probably happening as we speak. 140,000 workers intend to map coordinates to some 140 million addresses nationwide.

The Census Bureau has commented publicly by saying…. “"Address canvassing should conclude by mid-July. The operation will use new hand-held computers equipped with GPS to increase geographic accuracy. The ability to capture GPS coordinates for most of the nation's housing units will greatly reduce the number of geographic coding errors caused by using paper maps in previous counts. … During the address canvassing operation, census workers may ask to verify a housing structure's address and whether there are additional living quarters on the property. All census workers carry official government badges marked with just their name. You also may ask them for a picture ID from another source to confirm their identity. In addition, some census workers might carry a 'U. S. Census Workers' bag."

The truly paranoid could dream up all kinds of scenarios to use this information, but a better question would be….How far off could they be, when an address is no long useful information? Taxpayers are alarmed at the expenditure of 700 million tax dollars in such a financially stressed time. One can only wonder if ACORN, the only group endorsed by the Obama Administration, and presently involved in voter fraud issues will be, or have been already hired to accomplish this task.

I know one thing, I will keep a close eye to the sky, for an unmanned drone with the Obama insignia of the setting sun of the country, emblazoned on the side……..that is of course if I was paranoid.

CIA
Last week the CIA had two closed-door sessions about how the moral was at an all time low. After the Obama Administration unwrapped the classified torture memos, it’s no wonder the CIA has questions about if the Administration backs them or not. The Administration has warned that they will reveal pictures of the abuse from the Iraq jails within the next two weeks. One has to wonder what is the purpose of this new opening of new classified documents? Is this nothing more then a fueling of the leftist fire? Is it a wonder that the CIA recruitment and moral is at an all time low? Why should CIA operatives have to buy liability insurance because their employers won’t stand by them?

Mainstream being bashed
Even though Miss California, Carrie Prejean only gave her personal opinion on gay marriage, the gay contingent on the heels of Perez Hilton, obviously bashed and berated her for her opinion. The latest disgusting treatment of Carrie Prejean has come from the feminist activist and blogger Gloria Feldt, who said, “She (Carrie Prejean) should get a heart transplant rather then a breast implant.” It seems that all people that commented against her should realize that her comments are from the MAJORITY of America, and not from the minority.

Investment
The dictionary defines “invest” as committing money for a financial return. Barack Obama obviously never looked that word up, because he uses that word to describe governmental spending, which will never see a financial return. He uses “invest” and “investment” rather freely lately to describe a dismal situation, rather then the word he should be using……deficit spending, but you just keep making up meanings there Barack, the ignorant seem to believe you.

Wow, more threat accusations
An Israeli official has accused White Houser Rahm Emanuel of threatening to ignore the Iranian threat to Israel if they don’t make concessions to the Palestinians. The White House position was to deny that one issue had nothing to do with the other. This issue has come to light just as Shimon Peres is to make a visit to Washington. My question would be……why would the White House Chief of Staff be talking to anyone about foreign affairs?

Here is your chance!
To tell your representatives what you really think about them. A new website gives you, as a voter the ability to give your representative a grade, based on YOUR beliefs. Grade your government Go check out the grades they have already and add your own!

No pictures, no report
The White House has said they will not publish pictures of the Air Force One fly over of Ground Zero in NY City. Not only will they not share pictures from that stunt, they will not share any results from the investigation. It’s funny how when information shows the present administration in a bad light, nothing gets released, and yet it seems to be a weekly occurrence that Obama seeks to give Bush a black eye constantly by releasing classified CIA documents. Update, Fox News has petitioned under the Freedom of Information Act, for the pictures, and has been promised them.

U.S.S. Freedom
A Navy ship has been recently commissioned to combat the pirates off Somalia. This $600 million dollar launching pad for a very diverse group of attack possibilities will be tried out on the pirates. The Navy feels the speed of this ship will enable them to cover much larger areas, and therefore give better protection. Personally I think the major cruise lines should offer a “Somolian Skinny Game Hunt Cruise,” offering the big game hunter an opportunity to fire his or her hi-powered rifle at leaky pirate boats while sipping drinks with tiny umbrellas on the sun deck……..but what do I know?

Millions on a no bid basis
Rep. John (all marines are child killers) Murtha’s nephew, Robert C Murtha has reportedly received millions in no bid government contracts. Just last year he received 4 million in defense contracts from the Pentagon. He reports that his company Murtech has had no benefit from his Uncle’s political position. Surprisingly the facility in Glen Burnie, MD has very little movement and all the shades seem to be drawn tight.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi is a liar?
Thursday the government released classified documents that Nancy Pelosi was present with Porter Goss when enhanced interrogation techniques were discussed AFTER they were used. This was a direct contradiction of her testimony earlier when she denied she was present at any briefing involving enhanced interrogation techniques after the fact. She lied period!…..deny it now left coast girl!

Fannie Mae wants another $19 billion
Where is Barney Frank’s loud mouth now? Fannie Mae has requested another $19 billion over a first quarter loss of $23.2 billion dollars. The request was made by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which has been Fannie's conservator since the government took over the troubled firm in September. Where is the outrage from Barney Frank? The bonuses paid to Fannie and Freddie exceeded those of AIG, but Frank wanted to hang the AIG execs heads on a stick, but now with this new announcement he is mysteriously silent.

An update from Oklahoma

A friend sent this to me from Oklahoma, all i can say is, I'm thinking of moving there!

The state law passed today, 37 to 9, had a few liberals in the mix, 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 is a conservative state, based on Christian values...! Guess what..........We did it anyway. HB 1330

We 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/or become an American citizen. They all scattered. Hope we didn't send any of them to your state. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake. Guess what..........we did it anyway. HB 1804

Yesterday we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegals to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional. Guess what........We did it anyway. SB 1102

Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. That, for your information, makes Oklahoma and Texas the only states to do so. Guess what.........More states are likely to follow. Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, both Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, just to name a few. Should Mississippi act, so will 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 set back for the Kennedys and Ms Pelosi.
Guess what..........We did it anyway. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling 3-0

By the way, Obama does not like any of this.
Guess what....who cares...were doing it anyway.

“The House Democrats don’t want Al Gore humiliated”

“The House Democrats don’t want Al Gore humiliated”

Lord Monckton, science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, was invited to a global warming testimony on Capitol Hill last week. Rep. Joe Barton Republican from Texas invited him, to offer a differing view from the one most Democrats accept, that of Al Gore.

At the last minute House Democrats led by Henry Waxman, retracted Lord Mockton’s offer to speak. Apparently the First Amendment is only for other citizens, and Waxman prefers that the only opinion that counts is that of Al Gore, lord of the cap and trade. During his one-man show by design, a Congresswoman asked Gore about his rapidly accumulating wealth and if the cap and trade system were to start, would he personally benefit?

He bristled at the accusation, but never answered the question, instead attacking her with a question himself….. “Do you think I do all this for just the money?” Funny he should ask that question, as his accumulated wealth has blossomed from 8 million to over 100 million since leaving office, according to Bloomberg. He is on track to be the first “carbon billionaire,” even though the Democrats are trying to actively silence every scientist who doesn’t believe the official Gore theology.

All this came days before Secretary of State Hillary Clinton following her bosses lead of “apologies to the world” and falsely claimed, "The facts on the ground are outstripping the worst case scenario models." Then went on to claim that the U.S. shares a majority of the climate change in the world.

Swine Flu
Is it just me, or why is the Obama Administration parading every Department he can to have a news conference on the Mexican Swine Flu? Is this yet another case of “let’s not waste a good crisis?” Is it because Obama can’t get his HHS candidate confirmed, or is it an omen of something bigger? They spent close to an hour talking about a flu that has yet to kill any American citizen, when 36,000 people die each year from the ordinary flu. Robert Gibbs and Janet Napolitano serve to calm no fears, and only serve to show the incompetence of the Obama Administration.

The “Torture Memos”
The Democrats should be careful of what they wish for. Talking heads from the congress have been making noises about opening investigations on the classified memos that Barack Obama decided to open to the public. President Obama first said after he exposed the memos to the public he didn’t want to prosecute anyone who did waterboarding. Unfortunately he didn’t send THAT memo to Pat Leahy who has voiced his determination to prosecute operatives who did the aggressive interrogations. Leahy should “fish” gingerly, after his embarrassing interrogation of Col. Oliver North in the Iran Contra Affair.

Pakistan rather than Afghanistan
More proof this week of my past claims that the war should be in Pakistan instead of Afghanistan, as the Taliban is threatening to take control of the nuclear weapons that Pakistan possesses. The Pakistan President even claimed this week that he didn’t consider that Osama Bin Laden to even be alive, but the threat of his followers are very much alive.

“Insensitive”
New York Mayor Bloomberg referred to the Air Force One fly over the World Trade Center Area and the Statue of Liberty as “Insensitive.” President Obama has called it a “$300,000 mistake”, and Press Secretary Gibbs has said…..er um, I don’t uh, nobody told me, um, I’ll have to check on this, um. This has to be one of the most idiotic things from the Obama Administration yet. I suppose we are to believe that the President knew nothing of this. The strangest part is the master mind of this fiasco, Louis Caldera had planned a similar fly over in Washington the following week! Obama has said he needs to confer with White House lawyers before he could release any transcripts of an investigation on this situation, and yet he never worried about that before releasing President Bush’s “memos on torture.”

Jimmy Carter on Stupidity
Past President Jimmy (I have dementia) Carter, has professed his love for fire arms, telling how many he has, and then announcing that anyone who owns an assault rifle (a semi-automatic) is a person that wants to kill cops and/or a large amount of people. I have news for you Jimmy boy, your ideas and blessings on unconstitutional policies are outdated and offensive.


This Experiment
This week during a speech to The National Academy of Sciences, President Obama as usual found himself lost after a teleprompter error. He bobbled, as he struggled to recover, but finally made an interesting statement. He called America “this experiment.” An interesting question to our President, could have been, …. “do you see our country as still too new to have a solid basis that we can now be considered a world power?” Or does he see our country as an experiment, that he can still micro manage, and change and bend to his will?

Social Engineering 101

Social Engineering 101
Kevin Bryant

California says no more home schooling because it’s not healthy for the kids even though children that are home schooled have higher test scores averages in every state. Washington DC says no more school vouchers. So instead of spending $7000 on a child to go to a private or charter school, they now spend over $13,000 to send them to public school where again, the test grades are lower.

No more prayer in school or saying the pledge of allegiance or heaven forbid, the Boy Scouts hold a meeting at your neighborhood public school but it’s perfectly acceptable to have children dress up and learn Muslim cultures and celebrate Muslim holidays.

Most educated adults know that so called global warming is a farce. It has been proven to be based on junk science by more than 3000 expert scientists. Al Gore and the left are now going after public school children and indoctrinating them to the horrors of what is going to happen to our planet and telling them this is fact when in reality it’s not even good science fiction.

Public school systems today aren’t anything like the schools that I attended when I was growing up. It certainly isn’t the same type of schools my parents attended. Political, Biblical and Social theories were all allowed to be opening discussed and opinions of all sides were welcomed so long as they were not presented in a vulgar manner. Family values and the positive impact of having both a mother and father married and living in the same household was discussed and studied.

Public education today is more about social engineering than it is reading, writing and arithmetic. Little Johnny, don’t you dare bring a 2 inch tall plastic army man to school to play with or we will expel you, but here is a condom and we will show you how to properly put it on. Susan, you can’t wear a necklace that has a cross on it to school, but here, wear this GLAD rainbow necklace to show your support for gays and lesbians. Sorry Mom & Dad, your little first grader can’t give out Valentine’s Day cards because it could be considered sexual harassment and certainly under no circumstances can your child bring a Holiday Season card with the word “Christmas” on it.

Isn’t just so comforting knowing that our public education system is spending hundreds of millions of dollars annually teaching our children political correctness and diversity? What they are doing is teaching our kids to trust in and not question the government because they know what is best.

Public schools and the IRS are among the most powerful agencies in the United States. The IRS can seize assets without a court order and public schools can interrogate or indoctrinate children for as long as they want to without having to notify the parents. Schools can turn your child over to child protective services and the first you will hear about is when a county nazi …..I mean “social worker” comes knocking on your door with a police escort. To make matters worse, they are two of only three government agencies where you are guilty of crimes until proven innocent, with the military being the third. For the record, I support the military whole heartedly, but in this circumstance, I speak from experience.

Parents, get involved with what your kids are learning in school. Teach them to research subjects and formulate opinions based on facts. Let them know that 60% of the teachers and administrators out there are good people who really do care about their well being but the other 40% only care about their paychecks. My kids were brought up to respect adults and other kids. They were taken to church regularly for several years. They were taught to give their opinions on lots of different matters and respect others opinions when they differ from your own and they were taught “because my teacher said so” was an unacceptable answer when stating how or what they based their opinions on.

The Peaceful Revolution's First 100 Days

The Peaceful Revolution's First 100 Days
By Mark Alexander

Last fall, Barack Hussein Obama pledged that his administration would carry out a "fundamental transformation of the United States of America." Today, as we reflect on the first 100 days of the Obama regime's occupation of the executive branch, with Party allegiance in the legislative branch, it pains me to report that he has exceeded the wildest expectations of his Socialist constituencies.

In the wake of last year's "October Surprise" (the catastrophic meltdown of the nation's largest financial institutions), his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, said of Obama's strategy, "Rule 1: Never allow a crisis to go to waste. They are opportunities to do big things."

Indeed, Obama has done BIG things. In the words of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, "Obama's first 100 days have been spectacularly successful. Obama is the strongest domestic Democratic President since Lyndon Johnson. ... In just 100 days, Obama has been devastatingly effective in moving forward swiftly the most radical, government-expanding agenda in American history."

How did that happen?

Some political scientists argue that democracy is a conduit for "peaceful revolutions," including radical shifts in political ideology, without a shot being fired.

I agree, except that our nation is not a "dumbocracy." It is a republic, or at least it was before the once proud Democrat Party became infested with Socialists, who masterfully co-opted the education system along with the modern "opiate of the masses" (television and print media), and re-educated those masses.

So successful has this Leftist strategy been that their dumbed-down constituencies now follow their messianic leader like dullard lemmings.

Consequently, here is an account of a few notable events from the first 100 days of "hope and change."

Under the aegis of "economic stimulus," Obama promptly raided the Treasury and doled it out to his constituencies -- at terrible expense to this and future generations. Asked how one might evaluate the effectiveness of his plan, Obama replied, "I think my initial measure of success is creating or saving four million jobs." Not even Bill Clinton had the hubris to suggest something as slick as "saving four million jobs."

Remarkably, Obama managed to ram that one through Congress without a single Democrat claiming to have read it.

As for his cabinet, a long list of Obama nominees agreed to pay back taxes in return for rubber stamp appointments, including Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, who, despite owing more than $40,000 now oversees the IRS.

Poor nominee Tom Daschle, who in a previous life as Demo Senate Majority Leader proclaimed, "Tax cheaters cheat us all, and the IRS should enforce our laws to the letter." He was all but confirmed as HHS Secretary until we learned that he had cheated us out of $130,000 in back taxes. Apparently even Obama's hypocrisy knows some limits.

Obama last fall repeatedly promised to end the practice of special interest earmarks. Then, he signed an appropriations bill with more than 8,000 earmarks, including $2 billion for House Appropriations Chairman David Obey's lobbyist son's projects, $3.7 billion for contracts to Sen. Diane Feinstein's husband's company, and $4.19 billion for Obama's favorite voter fraud outfit, ACORN.

When the pork-laden bill passed, Obama had the audacity to proclaim, "I'm proud that we passed a recovery plan free of earmarks."

Obama also converted the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation into instruments for nationalizing the banking system.

Under the pretense of responding to "global warming," Obama has plans to impose almost $2 trillion in cap-and-tax energy taxes -- this despite his oft-repeated pledge that 95 percent of Americans wouldn't see their taxes increased.

Obama's $3.5 trillion 2010 budget includes projections for more than $9 trillion in near-term increases of national debt. Feigning fiscal integrity, Obama demanded budget cuts of $100 million -- which is to say that even while obscenely expanding the size of government, he targeted some spending that was out of line with his ideology. For the record, $100 million represents three one-thousandths of one percent of Obama's FY 2010 budget, or approximately what the central government redistributes every 13 minutes of every hour of every day of every week of...

Harvard Economist Greg Mankiw also offered some perspective on this $100 million spending cut, noting that it's the equivalent of a family with a $100,000 income cutting a $3 latte from their budget.

Of Obama's budget, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi exclaimed, "[F]or the first time in many, many years, we have a president's budget ... that is a statement of our national values. ... It's a very happy day for our country."

Meanwhile, according to The Wall Street Journal, in February, the price of single-family homes in 20 major metropolitan areas fell 18.6 percent from the previous year, after a record 19 percent drop in January.

In the first quarter of 2009, the U.S. economy contracted at a seasonally adjusted 6.1 percent annual rate, and Americans lost more than two million jobs. No doubt Obama's bold and swift action saved four million other jobs.

Perhaps the most dangerous of all the Obama policy shifts, however, is his framing of our foreign policy with atonement for America's past, which he says has been "arrogant," "dismissive" and "derisive." In doing so, he lends credibility to the anti-American attitudes and actions of our enemies.

Some of the most telling examples of Obama's ideology are apparent in the last few of his first hundred days. For example:

Day 97: Obama's White House Military Office appointee, former Clintonista Louis Caldera, authorized a photo shoot of Air Force One over Manhattan, an event which involved the low flight of a large jet plane with two F-16s in pursuit over Ground Zero and points nearby. Because the public wasn't told, many feared another 9/11 attack was in progress.

Indeed, an FAA memo prior to the flight warned of "the possibility of public concern regarding DoD aircraft flying at low altitudes." To which Obama responded, "It, uh, was, uh, a mistake. It, uh, will never, uh, happen again."

The Air Force reported that the flight of the VC-25 (customized Boeing 747) and its two attendant F-16s cost $328,835. However, the actual cost associated with the operation of VC-25 alone, when considering all support and planning for this photo folly, was closer to $775,000 (and who knows how many Al Gore carbon credits had to be purchased to offset this operation).

On the other hand, the one-time purchase of Adobe Photoshop costs around $600.

In January, Obama chastised private sector executives for using corporate jets to commute, most of which cost $3-$5 thousand per hour to operate. The plane we taxpayers fund for Obama costs $260,000 per hour to operate, and Monday, it was cruising around without him.

Day 98: Obama's EPA administrator, Lisa Jackson, in an NPR interview about Obama's Orwellian cap-and-tax policy, remarked, "The president has said, and I couldn't agree more, that what this country needs is one single national roadmap that tells automakers, who are trying to become solvent again, what kind of car it is that they need to be designing and building for the American people."

The interviewer asks, "Is that the role of the government? That doesn't sound like free enterprise."

Jackson, obviously in need of her ObamaPrompter, replied, "Well, it, it, it is free enterprise in a way. Um, ah, you know, first and foremost, the free enterprise system has us where we are right this second. And so some would argue that the government has a much larger role to play then we might've when Henry Ford rolled the first cars off the assembly line."

Some might argue that "we are where we are" because government has played "a much larger role since Henry Ford rolled the first cars off the assembly line."

Day 99: After the media fanned the flames about a "swine flu pandemic," Obama warned, "This is obviously a serious situation, serious enough to take the utmost precautions." He then promptly applied his "Rule 1" and asked Congress for $1.5 billion in emergency funding.

Day 100: The Obamaprompter addressed the nation yesterday, and not only did he claim, "We inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit. That wasn't me," but once again trotted this one out: "[My recovery act] has already saved or created over 150,000 jobs."

We checked, and Congress sets budgets, the Democrats have controlled the Senate and House for the last two years (which coincides with the housing and financial market collapses) and Obama was in the Senate for two of those years.

â?¨As for jobs, I am sure that Obama has "saved" all our jobs! Hail Obama! Let's us all bow down to "The One."

House Minority Leader John Boehner correctly surmises, "The president's first 100 days can be summed up in three words: spending, taxing, and borrowing."

Suffice it to say, the list is as long as it is absurd, and you can bask in a litany of examples we've compiled for your reading displeasure at "The First Hundred Days."

As for "peaceful revolutions," John F. Kennedy declared in 1962, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

I would argue this case: "Those who undermine our republican rule of law make violent revolution inevitable."

To that end, there is some good news on the "checks and balances" front, though some may find this a bit disconcerting.

There are now more than 65 million gun-owning Patriots across this nation, many of whom have taken sacred oaths "to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

We stand ready to honor that oath, understanding that, in the words of John Adams, "A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever."

And the ranks of Patriots are growing.

In the last three months of 2008, Americans bought enough guns to arm the national armies of both China and India -- a total of 12.7 million guns last year. Gun sales in the first three months of 2009 were 27 percent higher year-over-year than the first three months of 2008 (which also recorded record sales).

Perhaps all these gun purchases are coincidental, not consequential. But I doubt it. As Americans begin to awaken to the reality of Obama's Socialist agenda, it will be interesting to see how his next 1,361 days unfold.

At the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Benjamin Franklin was asked if the delegates had formed a republic or a monarchy. "A republic," he responded, "if you can keep it."

We will see.

Time For Real Reform

Time For Real Reform
Kevin Bryant

Over the past several months, time and again we have seen bad behavior rewarded at the expense of good behavior. Out of control government spending, bank bailouts, mortgage bailouts, AIG bailouts, auto industry bailouts, stimulus bills and now a 4 trillion dollar budget. Each and every one of these is funded by hard working Americans who play by the rules. The biggest problem with this is that those that pay for this has no say so in how the money is actually being spent. We go to work, pay our taxes and except at election time, we are forgotten by the ones who control our dollars.

The preamble to the Constitution says in part: provide for the common defense (pay for our military, coast guard and law enforcement), promote the general welfare (encourage that which enables us to prosper as both individuals and as a nation) and secure the blessings of liberty (protect our inalienable rights). Nowhere does it say: provide welfare, secure failing business, grant liberties or weaken defense. I am going to touch on all these in one form or another.

I am sure we can all agree that the current tax code is cumbersome, confusing and totally useless to everyone but tax lawyers. I personally am in favor of a flat tax on income without exemptions. Have a constitutional amendment that specifically states that no one can be taxed more than 30% total: No higher than 20% Federal and 10% State. Eliminate all other taxes completely. Get rid of everything from gas tax to sales tax to property tax. Furthermore, make it constitutionally illegal to tax welfare or any other form of federal or state aid. This will force federal and state governments to turn in balanced budget each year. By doing this, you eliminate the need for 85% of the state and federal IRS employees. Later on in this, we will put these people back to work.

Anyone who works for the government or a private company is subject to random drug screening. I have personally taken over 75 drug tests in my life: more than 70 in the military, 2 with my first job since military retirement in 2005 and 3 with my current employer. Had I failed one of them, I would no longer be employed and would be a burden to those who do play by the rules and pay their taxes.

I think anyone age 12 and above residing in a home where any resident is receiving government assistance should be subject to random drug screening. Use the government buildings that were being used to house federal and state IRS & department of revenue and turn them into drug screening centers. Use the displaced employees previously mentioned to do the administrative work. If the person can’t make it to the screening center because of health reasons, they must produce a verification letter from a licensed physician. Anyone lacking transportation must call within 48 hours of notification so that transportation can be provided or a screener can come to their home whichever is more convenient. Anyone age 55 or older will be exempt from the drug screening process.

First offense would result in a loss of assistance for a period not less than 90 days. After 90 days, the person must reapply for assistance and pass a drug screening. If a child or other resident of the home was the one who failed the drug test, that person, as well as the one applying must both pass a drug test. A second offense would result in a loss of assistance for a period of not less than 6 months, the home would be subject to random searches for illegal substances and all members of the household regardless must pass a drug screening before reapplying for assistance. A third offense would result in permanent loss of assistance.

The number of benefits if this were enacted would be too numerous to list all of them, but here are a few:

Less drug violence
Safer borders
Less illegals coming into the country
Less money spent of welfare
Safer low-income neighborhoods
Lower crime rate
Less cash flowing into Mexico
And many more…….

Some out there would say this is bias against blacks and hispanics because they make up the majority that receives assistance. My response to that is: ‘Poverty is an equal opportunity social status. Drugs are an equal opportunity addiction or habit or hobby. There is no bias in this, there is no racism here and I dare anyone to tell me differently.

Since the days of T. Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, America’s solution to problems has been to throw more money at the problem and form a counsel to oversee it. FDR’s New Deal didn’t end the depression, it prolonged it. Spending more money per student than any nation on earth didn’t raise test scores, they still continue to drop. Crime legislation has never decreased crime. Gun restrictions only make it harder for law-abiding citizens to own guns. Campaign finance, welfare reform, amnesty for illegals, none of these worked. Drugs are addicting and so is government spending money. The only way to change these habits is to either take what is addicting away or make it impossible to circumvent the system to find new ways to do these things.

For the past 80 to 90 years, government has done nothing but throw water bottles at fires that continues to burn out of control. Real problems require real solutions.

Martin what are you thinking?

Just in case you think Governor Martin O’Malley has his finger on the pulse of Maryland, let’s just review the last week in Maryland news. Martin thinks that because Michelle Obama planted a garden, that his wife Katie needs to do the same thing. Of course you call it “Eat it, grow it,” and Michelle calls it “you voted for it, now you suffer from it,” the idea is the same. We reap what we sow…..

We see that the Governor has enough money to spend on the purchase of “water front property” on the bay, and then institute a “Maryland Children’s Outdoor Bill of Rights,” along with his nemisis School Superintendent Nancy Grasmick, how excited she must have been. It’s not as if the indoor bill of rights wasn’t good enough, but now Governor O’Malley sees this as an opportunity to fill young impressionable minds with his totally unobtainable environmental policy of a 25% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2020. He calls this fiasco the “The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Act of 2009,” and hasn’t claimed once how he hopes to accomplish this lofty goal that NO country has been able to do. I suppose if you show these kids Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” enough times even they would believe it……..I thought we claimed that torture wasn’t happening in the U.S.

Martin saw fit after elected Governor to basically bail out on Baltimore, as he dropped his once rabid tirade against BGE/ Constellation Energy, and let the citizens fend for themselves. Obviously he bailed out on Sheila Dixon because after her indictment he has been curiously silent, even though she was his protégé. Along with his support for her, went the concern about crime in Baltimore, as the city he once represented made national history this week as #10 on list as the countries deadliest cities.

It is comforting however that Governor O’Malley hasn’t given up his weekend job, because surely he will need something to fall back on when his political career falls into the flusher as the Governor stopped by Coffey Music and strummed a few tunes in Westminster, MD.

On a few notes this week, we have noticed that the Governor has held the tuition on state colleges for the fourth year in a row, and yet he, as usual has sacrificed the primary education in the budget. I have two questions for the governor in question, did we get back the 11 million dollars from the Obama coronation, and have you now given up the 2 million dollar donation to Casa de Maryland, because you couldn’t any longer claim to be a sanctuary state to illegal aliens after the law change over licenses?

I’m missing my buddy today

I’m missing my buddy today, a wonderful woman whom I’ve had the pleasure to know for some 20 years. She was a woman from the golden era, who thought that the best way to be was happy. My father, a rather gruff individual that somehow always found the wrong thing to say at the wrong time, introduced her to me. This woman was different; she exuded class and positive mental attitude. She had an amazing effect on my father and his more then often rough edges.

For years I had watched my father do verbal battle with my mother, until their final divorce, but this relationship he had with this woman was different. She was able to disarm him with a few simple words, and even bring a smile to his face in the bargain.
They had both moved into a retirement community at the same time, she got a little one room apartment, and he begrudgingly purchased the two bedroom one. He requested his unit on the backside of the building while hers was on the front side. He got his in the back so she couldn’t monitor his coming and going. So things went for close to 5 years, they grew closer, did everything together and overall enjoyed each other’s company.

Dad had a stroke after about 6 years there, and thanks to her coaxing; he was in a place that the transition could be made easily into nursing care. She watched over and guarded him like a mother bear, faithfully cleaning and caring for his every need for 2 ½ long years. She never once complained, but took care of him like a wife, even though she turned down overtures from my father to marry him. Her affection was that of unconditional love, and when he finally passed, my cousin and I started watching over her like protective bears. We found it rather hard to protect someone who was so private and evasive, but we did our best. After a brutal bout with Lou Gehrig’s disease, my cousin passed long before his time, and I was left alone to watch over my father’s “significant other.”

She was just barely over 93 years old, and now suffering from extreme dementia, but her spirit had never dimmed. For years her life was devoted to helping everyone from my father to the housekeeper that cleaned her apartment when she lived upstairs. Even when she moved into assisted living, she volunteered to do anything she could to make everyone’s life easier. She was truly the least selfish person I’ve ever met in my life, and I was privileged to know her. She was a product of her own time, and carried herself as such, she always dressed as if she was going somewhere, but instead did it as a tribute to her true nature. Her life deserved more then a silently extinguished flame, but then again at 93 she had outlived most of her peers. She was the last soldier standing, and last Saturday morning she drew her last breath, but her spirit will live on in me, something to live up to, something to aspire to, and yet, I know Dad was waiting there for her, and I was but a temporary guardian over an extraordinary woman…………God Speed my lovely Fran.

After The Party

After The Party
Kevin Bryant

As the dust begins to settle from all the tea parties held across the nation, one wonders if they actually did what they were meant to do.

Congress has for far too long ignored the people they were sent to Washington to represent. Perhaps we can trace the blind eyes and the deaf ears of congress back to the 94 election when for the first time, republicans controlled both houses. The House of Representatives tried for the next couple of years to live up to its “Contract with America” and do what was right for the people and the nation. The senate played along for a bit, but when it became apparent that Bill Clinton would be elected to a second term, the senate more so than the house began to coddle favors from the President in exchange for voting with him on certain domestic agendas.

When George W. Bush was elected in 2000 by such a narrow margin, many then and still now believe that the election was stolen. Those in congress and the media that supported Al (snore) Gore took every opportunity available to mock, smear or make a sham of his presidency regardless if his actions were right or wrong. To the detriment of America, the republican controlled congress repaid all those snide comments and public Bush bashings by doing whatever they wanted or could get by with. Instead of putting America first, congress established new heights (or lows depending on how you look at it) in partisan politics and with the elections of 2008 it’s still growing at an even more rapid pace.

The past 8 years has been nothing but chaos in congress at the expense of “We the People of the United States”. The tea parties were a display of just how tired we are as a nation of the massive ineptitude of congress to act appropriately and in our best interest.

The media got the tea parties all wrong. Some of the comments were: organized Obama bashing, republicans whining because they lost an election, protest held by racist because a half black man was elected President, Fox News supported anti-government protest to pretty much everything you can think of besides the truth. Truth be told and I think it was apparent to anyone who paid attention, it was a coming together of republicans, democrats, libertarians, conservatives, moderates, blacks, whites, hispanics and people from every walk of life to tell congress and the President that “We the People” have had enough. The President and the Congress work for us.

Will they get the message? Probably not. They are so self absorbed into their own world that they feel they do not need to acknowledge the very people whose lives they are making worse each and every passing day. Sure, they will put on smiley faces and tell the public that they got the message loud and clear, and right there is where I am certain it will end. The message will not be heard until the next election and those currently in power try to figure out just why they were voted out of office.

One can only hope that they understood the true meaning of them and got the message.

Did the kidnapping by pirates last too long?

While Barack Obama is sucking up praise for the handling of the kidnapping Captain Richard Phillips, of the Maersk Alabama, questions are circulating on whether the situation was handled as quickly as it could have been.

The USS Bainbridge arrived on scene and yet the SEAL contingent was not dispatched until 36 hours into the kidnapping, despite the recommendations of an on scene the scene commander. Early in the incident when the pirates had demanded batteries and food, and the Bainbridge had ordered an inflatable to deliver those items. The inflatable came under fire from the pirates, but couldn’t return fire even though they had the pirates in their sights.

The President had ordered rules of engagement that said, “do nothing unless the hostage's life was in "imminent” danger.”

In the middle of the incident Capt. Phillips escaped into the water, but SEALS were ordered to do nothing lethal.

The White House had turned down two rescue plans from an on the scene SEAL commander and the commander from the USS Bainbridge.

Sources from the scene are less than impressed with President Obama’s action or inaction.

Barack Oclueless

In the wake of yesterdays massive “Tea Parties” White House Press Secretary Gibbs was acting as if his pet beagle had just turned on him. In an explanation akin to a speech his boss would make, he reverted to the candidate Obama stance of, “ a tax reduction for 95% of America.” He acted every bit as clueless as his boss, his administration has increased spending 4 times what his predecessor did, and yet never mentions how he is going to pay for it.

I have news for the Oclueless Administration; the American public isn’t going to stay stupid for long. They see unrestrained spending and bailouts, and they know SOMEONE has to pay for it! Then they see nothing but tax in a program called cap and trade of the burning of fossil fuels, they see through your thinly veiled explanation that we need to reduce emissions. They see the program has nothing to do with reduction, but only taxation. They see you posturing to add “free healthcare” to our country, which will be anything BUT free once Congress gets finished with it! They want to know Mr. President, who will pay for the healthcare of those who don’t want to work?

They at least want to see a picture of the family they will be supporting, even church groups do that! They want to know how you intend to pay for a war in Afghanistan that has less support in the world scene then Iraq had. They want to know how many generations your spending spree will span. You no longer can blame the last Administration for the increase in spending, because as far as spending goes sir, you make George Bush look like a rank amateur!

American voters know and realize more then you think, no President in history has had as large a protest as you had yesterday, especially after only being in office for 100 days. Your popularity is plummeting in the wake of your spending and Congress passing laws at an unheard of rate that doesn’t include any Republican input, or even debate. The Congress is there to debate issues before voting on them. A dictatorship ramrods laws in with no oversight, and Americans don’t want that. In fact Mr. President, it is doubtful that America wants the socialist policies you have so far pushed in your Stimulus Plan. Some states have denied your policy changes, and refused to take some of your money, because they see through your charade.

American voters know that when times are tough, you show restraint in financial matters, it’s shame that you sir don’t see that too. Nobody spends his or her way out of a recession, and history will not be made on your spending spree.

Pay attention President Obama and Congress, your citizens are watching you now…..CLOSELY!

Toxic Assets
It seems that Leyman Brothers had an asset that is rather toxic to say the least. Toxic Yellowcake Uranium 450,000lb of it! It seems that Leyman Brothers saw an opportunity to make money by speculating on Uranium, but it seems the bottom has dropped out of that market along with all the others. They say they will wait till the market recovers before trying to sell it. Even so, in today’s Uranium market the value tops $20 million dollars.

More fraudulent statements
President Obama has once again claimed that 90% of the drug cartels weapons come from the U.S., a fact disproved last month when Hillary Clinton used the same bad figures, it seems that nobody either gave him the memo, or posted on his teleprompter. The real figure is that 17% of the weapons come from the U.S.

France backs off global warming
Global warming skeptic Dr. Claude Allegre could be the new the next French Environment Minister in President Nicolas Sarkozy’s administration. Allegre has called Al Gore’s Nobel Peace Prize a “political gimmick”. Allegre, a former French Socialist Party leader and a member of both the French and U.S. Academies of Science, was one of the first scientists to sound global warming fears 20 years ago, but he now says the cause of climate change is "unknown." This comes in the face of the Obama Administration’s move to push the cap and trade scheme in America.

Obama reveals more Bush documents
Obama seems to feel it’s fine to reveal yet more classified Bush memos, this time on interrogations of enemy combatants, once again violating the unspoken trust between past Presidents. He claimed he wasn’t trying to embarrass President Bush, but he needed to uncover the dark past of America. All I can say is……YEA RIGHT! He best hope the next president doesn’t share the same loose lips that he possesses.

I’m a right wing extremist!

I’m a right wing extremist!

I always considered myself a conservative first, and a Republican second. My core values are based on moralist views, and a respect for the history of the Constitution. I try to craft my views on the principles of our founding fathers. Some people have called me a neocon, bigot, tinfoil hatter, birther, and other names not fit for publishing. I have been physically threatened for writing about my views, and those threats have increased as the new Administration gains in its power.

Being called names by others that don’t believe the same way as I do, has until now been a moot point. They are my opinions, and I am entitled to them, but now I have a new label, one that has been attached to me by way of a Department of Homeland Security report to the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. First let’s show you who they label as a “Right Wing Extremist.” All wording from the report will appear in blue.

(U) Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.

Although the Constitution grants states the majority of control, this report tends to label that authority and the people who agree with it as extremists. This only goes from bad to worse, as we see from the wording of this report, that ANYONE who disagrees with the Administration as a right wing extremist. Nowhere in the report is “left wing extremism” even mentioned. The report speaks about “skinheads” and militias, but never speaks a word about ACORN as being detrimental to the well being of our country. Let’s view more.

(U//LES) The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no specific
information that domestic rightwing* terrorists are currently planning acts of violence,
but rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about
several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first
African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and
recruitment.

(U//LES) Rightwing extremists have capitalized on the election of the first
African American president, and are focusing their efforts to recruit new
members, mobilize existing supporters, and broaden their scope and appeal
through propaganda, but they have not yet turned to attack planning.

(U//FOUO) The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of
military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities
could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists
capable of carrying out violent attacks.

The DHS report speaks nothing of proof of the claims they make, only to instill a paranoid delusion in law enforcement units across the country. It is very obvious this is a mandate handed down from the Oval Office to demonize any and all people who don’t believe in present governmental policies. This reads like the movie “1984,” let’s read on.


(U//FOUO) Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans
likely would attract new members into the ranks of rightwing extremist groups,
as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for
violence against the government. The high volume of purchases and
stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by rightwing extremists in anticipation
of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary
concern to law enforcement

(U//FOUO) Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are
attractive to rightwing extremists. DHS/I&A is concerned that rightwing
extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to
boost their violent capabilities.

(U//LES) Rightwing extremists are harnessing this historical election as a recruitment
tool. Many rightwing extremists are antagonistic toward the new presidential
administration and its perceived stance on a range of issues, including immigration and
citizenship, the expansion of social programs to minorities, and restrictions on firearms
ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns
and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election timeframe to the
present, rightwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers.

They don’t think twice to label my opinions as “propoganda,” but think nothing of furthering their own, they site specific issues that separate the two parties and ideologies, but consider what we believe as extremist, and worthy of violence.

(U//FOUO) Over the past five years, various rightwing extremists, including militias and
white supremacists, have adopted the immigration issue as a call to action, rallying point, and recruiting tool. Debates over appropriate immigration levels and enforcement policy generally fall within the realm of protected political speech under the First Amendment, but in some cases, anti-immigration or strident pro-enforcement fervor has been directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent.

(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremist groups’ frustration over a
perceived lack of government action on illegal immigration has the potential to incite
individuals or small groups toward violence. If such violence were to occur, it likely
would be isolated, small-scale, and directed at specific immigration-related targets

(U//FOUO) Many rightwing extremist groups perceive recent gun control legislation as a
threat to their right to bear arms and in response have increased weapons and ammunition stockpiling, as well as renewed participation in paramilitary training exercises. Such activity, combined with a heightened level of extremist paranoia, has the potential to facilitate criminal activity and violence.

This report tries to link people who disagree with current policies as being on the same plain with Timothy McVeigh. Like I said earlier, no proof…….just the same phrase “potential to facilitate criminal activity and violence.”

(U//FOUO) On the current front, legislation has been proposed this year
requiring mandatory registration of all firearms in the United States. Similar
legislation was introduced in 2008 in several states proposing mandatory tagging
and registration of ammunition. It is unclear if either bill will be passed into law;
nonetheless, a correlation may exist between the potential passage of gun control
legislation and increased hoarding of ammunition, weapons stockpiling, and
paramilitary training activities among rightwing extremists.

(U//FOUO) Weapons rights and gun-control legislation are likely to be hotly contested
subjects of political debate in light of the 2008 Supreme Court’s decision in District of
Columbia v. Heller in which the Court reaffirmed an individual’s right to keep and bear
arms under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but left open to debate the
precise contours of that right. Because debates over constitutional rights are intense, and
parties on all sides have deeply held, sincere, but vastly divergent beliefs, violent
extremists may attempt to co-opt the debate and use the controversy as a radicalization
tool.

At least they are tipping their hand on further legislation on guns in the U.S. They wonder why we are upset about current policies? Controversy as a radicalization tool?

(U//FOUO) Rightwing extremist paranoia of foreign regimes could escalate or be
magnified in the event of an economic crisis or military confrontation, harkening back to
the “New World Order” conspiracy theories of the 1990s. The dissolution of Communist
countries in Eastern Europe and the end of the Soviet Union in the 1990s led some
rightwing extremists to believe that a “New World Order” would bring about a world
government that would usurp the sovereignty of the United States and its Constitution,
thus infringing upon their liberty. The dynamics in 2009 are somewhat similar, as other
countries, including China, India, and Russia, as well as some smaller, oil-producing
states, are experiencing a rise in economic power and influence.


The demonizing of people who think that the new administration has crossed the boundary of world governance, is in a way a violation of free speech, at the least it minimizes the credibility of another point of view, in the worst it enforces the “one view” of the Obama Administration.

Rasmussen Poll: 53% of Americans prefer Capitalism to Socialism

Rasmussen Poll: 53% of Americans prefer Capitalism to Socialism

When I first heard about this latest poll, I’ll admit I was floored. But after reading about the internal divisions of the poll, it all began to make sense. The big dividing factor seem to be age related, and investment related.

If Obama has been good at one thing, I’d say he’s been good at getting his socialist agenda across to the younger generation. It seems to be the “in thing” to do now to claim yourself as a socialist.

The under 30 crowd tends not to have or make investments for future use, and therefore see the benefits of social programs, while the over 40 crowd that makes investments favors capitalism 5 to 1.

To see how effective Obama has been at getting his message across, the very same poll was done in December 2008, and the results were very different. At that time 70% preferred Capitalism to Socialism. Obama’s message is that America’s system is flawed, from the Supreme Court to the financial system, and the youth seem to be eating it up.

It seems that American Society is ripe for this message of entitlement, because to be honest, the youth of today are considered by many to be the “entitled generation.” Add that to the fact that youths are more easily swayed, and you have the new volatile mix of politics today. For some reason, the youth live in the “now” and not for the future, they haven’t informed themselves about history, or even the recent past for that matter.

I think a past quote says it best; “If you are under 40 and you aren’t a Democrat you don’t have a heart, and if you are over 40 and are a Democrat you don’t have a brain.”

Apology for arrogance
The reigning king of Narcissism apologized in the country of arrogance (France) for the American arrogance of the past, but also criticized Europe of it’s own arrogance against America, but not once did he apologize for his own arrogance.

Serious consequences
President Barack Obama is observing first hand what “tough talk” does to rectify a tense situation. He warned North Korea, last week that if the missle was fired there would be “serious consequences.” The North Koreans no more listened to his sword rattling then they did to President Bush’s. The U.S. response? File for a sanction through the U.N. to go along with the other two resolutions they haven’t responded to……wow the U.N., I know that would have sure scared me to death…….sorry Obama, you blinked, now what?

Stirring the pot of anger
Senate did such a good job of stirring the pot of anger about the AIG bonuses of $165 million, but remains curiously silent about the $210 million paid in bonuses to executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These government subsidized organizations that failed do to the inaction of Congressional Democrats, and subsequently had donated large amounts of money to those same Democrats re-election campaigns have been paid more then the AIG execs…….the moral here is to donate in a more direct way, like directly into their pockets!

Statement that nobody remembers
Joe Biden recalls a meeting with Bush that makes no sense, but he defends it anyway
"We are rebuilding America's ability to lead," Biden said. "And I remember President Bush saying to me one time in the Oval Office, and he was a great guy, enjoyed being with him. He said to me, he said, well, Joe, he said, I'm a leader. And I said, Mr. President, turn around and look behind you. No one's following. People are beginning to follow the United States again as a consequence of our administration." His tense is all wrong, why would he be talking to Bush in the Oval Office after “his” administration was being followed?…maybe he snuck back in the cloak of darkness.

Highway To Hell

Highway To Hell
By: Kevin Bryant

I spent the last week or so planning on write about this or that and would have it pretty much formulated in head when out of the blue, something else would come up that would make me just a little more angry than the last thing that ticked me off. Going on 7 straight months now, the things that have been taking place in D.C. has been driving this conservative closer and closer to the edge of political sanity.

Right now, I would love to be in front of a joint session of congress and have Obama and Biden there and have all of them address the following questions:”

1) What happened to the Constitution? Does it no longer apply?
2) Since when did states start having their rights granted to them by the Federal Government?
3) The power of the Federal Government is given by the people. What gives you the right to strip power from the people?
4) Given this body’s approval ratings, why did not of you vote against receiving a pay raise for the past two years?
5) Would you not agree that a 13% approval rating indicates that none of you are in touch with Main Street America? Or do you just not care what America thinks?
6) Why don’t you restructure your own raises, salary and retirements so that they are in line with other civil servants such as firemen and police officers?
7) No one in the current administration can seem to pay the correct amount of taxes, why should we?
8) Since when does a sitting or past President for that matter such as our current President has, and go before foreign leaders and badmouth past administrations and the United States as a whole? Or show such weakness while commanding the most powerful military ever assembled throughout history?
9) This room is full of failures. Each of you failed your constituents and your country. Who are you to decide in a capitalist society what or who is “too big to fail”?
10) You all took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. Why should we as a nation not consider you all as traitors?

I have absolutely no faith or hope left in me that this administration or this congress will do anything other than continue to speed up the journey on this highway to hell that they have put us on.

Personal note:

I feel like I am losing my objectivity, therefore I am going to take a break from writing for a while. I appreciate all the great comments & support I have received over the past year. Al’s readers are among the smartest, brightest and most knowledgeable individuals I have ever seen when it comes to keeping up with what is going on in this great country of ours. Continue to pray for our country and for each other. - Kevin

Revelations, in a way

Revelations, in a way

[1] And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

He came by such unremarkable ways. He rose from the inactions of many, made his reputation on the misfortune of others. He played to peoples emotions, and when done cast them into the dark. He claimed to be all things to all men, and yet showed proof of none.

[4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

With adoration came his power. The adoration had nothing to do with his beliefs, and yet everything to do with them. His Christian claim, was one of doubt, tainted by hatred and blasphemy to all those he professed to be part of, and yet the faithful believed.

[5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

And the faithful followed blindly, adoring his every step, his every word. He spoke of Christianity, and yet followed the way of a non-believer. He spoke the words of love for the Jews, but yet held a deep resentment. He spoke the words only to be adored, and none of substance, and yet they followed.

[6] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
[7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

He spoke of the power of God, and yet practiced the religion of non-faith, and silently showed support for the darker side of faith, one of hatred for all who were not like them. He promised a faith of the world, one united, and yet one without aim or compassion. He spoke to all nations when he felt the need of power over his own people, which he felt were not listening. He rallied the other nations to explain the greater good to his people.

[9] If any man have an ear, let him hear.

He preached the word to anyone who would listen, and the message evolved. The new message was that of reverence to the beast. The massive change happened slowly, at first they questioned, but soon they believed, one god, one religion, that of the beast.

[12] And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

The faithful joined hands with the non-believers and the transformation was well on its way. The faithful now slayed any that were not like them, and used the power of the beast to repel any attacks. One way, one worship, blindly following the master.

[14] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

He deceived by false witness, using his power to cheapen the message. He denied all others not aligned with him, and sought to have them killed, the image was now solidified.

[15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

His power was now complete, the adoration was fulfilled, and the deception of the image was now in the hands of the 545 saints under his control. His destiny was complete, his followers were branded with his false deception, and their mark was….

[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
[17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
[18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

On The Other Hand

On The Other Hand
By: Kevin Bryant

I liked George W. Bush’s first 4 years in office. I can’t say much about his second 4 years though. I thought Bill Clinton did a good job overall in 94, 96 & 97 but those were really the only years that he actually listened to and accepted advice from Dick Morris. George H.W. Bush had a good 4 year run except when he compromised with a democratic controlled congress and agreed to raise taxes once and then they used it against him…aka “Read My Lips”. Ronald Reagan stayed consistent in all his years in office.

Though these former Presidents disagreed on how to govern a nation, they did share a common trait. They each laid out before the public their intentions and then set out to accomplish their goals.

Since the early 1900’s we have slowly been pushing the lines of the political spectrum further to the left and towards socialism. We continually move away from small government, less market interference and more liberties and have moved ever so slowly towards large government, more interference with the free market and surrendering more liberties. The right and left of the political spectrum have been moving in unison though there still remains a gap between the two.

As each previous President has laid out their agenda, we have seen the lines shift a little more here and there but with the exception of Reagan those lines have still moved progressively leftward.

President Obama laid out his agenda to the public during the primaries and the general election. During the primaries, he was all for moving the lines farther and faster to the left than any of his predecessors in a single term in office. During the general election, he changed his agenda and let everyone know that he would take a more moderate stance. So, what have we seen in his first 70 days in office?

We have seen corruption, lies, deceit and everything we conservatives have feared since the day he announced this candidacy for the office. He has placed in key positions what has amounted to nothing more than legalized mob bosses to do his dirty work for him all the while he continues to paint himself to the public as the champion of middle class.

While he and his fellow democrats hammered Rush Limbaugh and was calling him the leader of the republican party and praying for Obama to fail, his own party knew that the Chicago Tribune was sitting on a story about how his White House Chief of Staff had been a temporary board member of Freddie Mac and had received over $340,000 from them in only a 4 month period. President Obama knows about the AIG bonuses 3 days before they come to light for the general public and only then does he fake outrage over them while at the same time he orders up another one trillion dollars to be printed and placed in the treasury even though no one is now buying up the U.S. debt.

So far his whole presidency has been nothing but a shell game, doing the rope-a-dope or whatever you wish to call it. He has no problems showing you what his right hand is doing and will even proudly wave it for all to see so long as you do not notice what the left hand is doing at the same time.

How many mainstream news articles have you seen about legislating small farms and individual gardens that we plant every spring. There’s one out there and of course they say that it is not the intention to legislate those things, but the language in this bill to do exactly that. Why should anyone in congress be allowed to tell you what vegetables you can and can’t grow in your back yard? Why does the government need to know what you buy at a farmer’s market and how long after purchase are you planning on consuming that which you purchased. It’s all in the bill.

Another bill no one has heard of surpasses Americorp and lays the foundation for mandatory community service for all teens up to a certain age. Though once again, those of the democratic party that support this bill tell us that it is not the intent to force children into voluntary community service or actions but the language is in there to make it mandatory. Are we living in 2009 America or 1934 Germany? To tell the truth, it’s getting a little harder each day to tell the difference between the two

For every false crisis that has popped up, every manufactured outburst of anger that has been expressed by this administration, there has been a back door deal made or back room operation underway to deflect attention away from himself and what he is doing.

The only thing this administration lacks is a Secretary of Propaganda. Once Obama has that, then his cabinet will be complete.
