I find myself against every measure of this new government, it leaves me speech less, the reason why my blog posting have been few and far in between.  But Frank brought this to my attention and he says it where it needs to be said and far better then may of us could articulate it.
Take a look at the short youtube video from the House floor.

GM in this case stands for Government Motors, they have managed to get their claws on two of the 3 American manufacturers, let us hope that ford can hold out.  This post is not political as such but has some overtones and a trend that is bothersome to people like myself who actually like cars and like cars with horse power.

I was looking at two $40,000 cars yesterday and the differences are striking.  The Chevy Volt, which gets good mileage no body knows just how good because just like every government lie, it can't even be calculated because it is electric, unlike the hybrids this car is made to run as an electric car with a dinky 1.4l engine that is something like the donut they now give you for a spare, enough to get you to the nearest garage to get you tire fixed or in this case to charge your battery, I suspect that battery charge takes 8 to 10 hours but no body is saying.  Un like the Smart Car AKA Stupid Car the Volt is actually a good looking car and it is hard to see what kind of payload it will carry or how it will perform with a full load.  I suspect neither will be good.  I can't even see how this car will have any value and GM saw it that way too and had no intention of marketing it until the government took them over, all of a sudden it is a good idea.  It was a bad idea when General Motors decided not the produce it and it is still a bad idea.  It has a 40 mileage range, "OH no Mr. Boss I can't take that job, it is out of range, I can only travel about 15 miles one way or I won't get home".  Well, you can get home but I can see trying to get on the highway with that motorcycle engine they are putting in them, at that point the electric stuff becomes a 400 pound payload with nothing to do but wait for a charge. 

On the other hand I was looking at Ford's Taurus SHO.  A very nice car we have a 2007 500 before they renamed it to the Taurus, that was a brillant marketing move the Taurus sold more and like people wouldn't notice it was the same car.  In any event our 500 is a 3L which has an adequate amount of power but not much reserve but it is such a great winter car with AWD, we don't use it in the summer but we certainly could with no problem, but we have an older rear drive for the summer that has real horse power.  They offered in 2008 a 3.5L in the Taurus that they were using in the Lincoln MKS which is a very nice engine offering 265 HP at 6500 RPMs very respectable and a lot more power than my 500.  But the  SHO has the same block but different plumbing and gets 345 HP at 5500 RPMs, not a mis print, this car must fly and gets 28 MPG.  The Volt has a 15 year payback if you can keep batteries in it which I doubt,  whereas the Ford will payback the first time you drive it without sacrifice and your boss will actually want to ride in your Ford.

When Obama was working "I am not taking over the car companies.. wink wink" it was clear to some of us this was the Statist chance to green our road ways with these make believe cars and here we are only a few short months later and they dust off a looser and will market it even if it has to come with a $10,000 bonus from Gov Motors.

The estimates are that 2% of the dealer transaction from "Cash for Clunkers" have been paid, if it wasn't so sad it would be comical.  We all know that the reason why they were not getting paid was Government incompetence so what do they do allocate another $2 billion, let us throw some more money away.  Another brilliant idea.  This was such a bad idea and nobody said boo and nobody even knew it was going through Congress.  I know the car business quite well, my friends tell me that the cars that they have to destroy are usable.  So again the very people that the Dems claim to be a friend, the poor, of are hurt.  This is going to drive up the cost of older usable cars, 250,000 have already been taken out of the market.  Even if they were bad cars there would have been many good parts, this can only hurt the used parts business.  The idea pushed some people into the new car market that never would have been there, I am wondering how many defaults this will cause?  I wouldn't want to be a car dealer in this situation, they are going to loose big time, the buyer goes out fat and happy while the dealer is left to collect from the government buearacracy, just one of these deals gone bad can cancel any profit from about 5 sales if not more.  Mark Twain was surely right, the only time we are truly safe is when Congress is in recess.  Not to mention the fact, why should I buy somebody a new car, I don't have new cars.

 

Many of you have asked me what else we can do to stop this meteor heading at a million miles an hour to ruin our country, if you haven't figured it out I am talking about the massive loss of liberty and by the people running this country.  Everyone knows they now want to take over health care as the next nail in the coffin of liberty.  We have made some progress but don’t let you guard down stay on it, call, write, talk keep doing it and doing it, they are hoping you will get discouraged and just give up, we can’t let that happen, there is too much at stake.

Senator DeMint is one of my hero’s in the Senate, a real fighter for freedom and the free market economy, we need about 50 more Jim DemMint’s in the Senate and about a 100 more in the House.  That change is coming, the polls have not been kind the socialist trying to take over our country.  But there is still so much work to do, not the least of which is to take back our school systems where they are places of learning not Social Engineering Propaganda factories.  These are all subjects for another day,  my real reason for this post is to let you know if you don’t already about the conference call tonight.  It may not be possible to get on they only have room for 3000 and I suspect those went really quickly.  But here is the information.  If I get on I will give you a complete review.

Dear Barry,

Activists like you are rocking town hall meetings across the nation opposing the health care takeover.

The Obama Administration and their hard Left friends are hitting back hard.  There’s talk of the “public option” being dropped from the legislation.
Given how fast moving the health care battle is and how crucial you are to winning, we’re hosting another national a tele-townhall with Senator Jim DeMint of South Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann tomorrow night.

As you know, Americans for Prosperity members and taxpayers have been turning up the heat at town halls and rallies across the nation during the Congressional recess.  Many of you are asking us what else you can do now to win this battle for our freedom and many folks are asking for an update on all that’s happening.

So we thought the best people to answer your questions would be these two great free market leaders who are fighting the good fight in Congress.

Please join us Tomorrow, August 20th, at 8:00 pm ET, for this exciting, informative and interactive tele-town hall call with Senator DeMint and Congresswoman Bachmann.

I am guessing when they see the turn out they will add to the 3000 number.

It is highly likely that Obama is not a US citizen as he pretends to be every thing else, he is an imposter, well he is a possible imposter. My question is what does it gain us if we kick his rear to the street and are left with numb nut Bidden as our President.  I guess the good news is he isn't much of a leader and would be right off a lame duck getting nothing done, that is the good news and the bad news, what if we actually need leadership, would he provide better leadership than Obama.  Boy that is some horse race, neither has exhibited leadership skills and one might be just as bad as the other so I guess may be if that were the case Bidden would actually be better as a short term President and next time there is no doubt the country would have come to its senses and elected a good conservative.  Nothing like this has ever happened, I wonder if they would call the election null and void and have a do over?  That is an interesting question.  What about just letting McCain screw things up for a while, he isn't my choice but certainly there can be no one short of electing Rev Wright that would be a worse choice than Obama.  At least McCain for all his wachy ideas truly does love this country, I believe that.  Who knows maybe he would clean up Dodge and make our nations captital a place of representation again, I doubt it is possible in the short term, it would take 50 years or so of un interrupted fixing to make it better. 

What is more likely to happen is a cover up if in fact there is anything to cover up.  Most of his relatives say he was born in Kenya and there are now some documents to substainciate that claim.  Maybe he would not put the country through all of that and just step down, but you know he isn't that patriotic and will fight to the end to maintain power, I actually think he might refuse to step down if not re elected, Hugo Chavez style, his mentor.  Don't let the smile fool you, this is one dangerous man.

Just a thought, I am guessing even if it is found to be true, nothing will be done.

Even though racism has all but disappeared here in the USA, the cries of racism from the Race Industry continue.  It fits their plan, fill you with undeserved guilt, make those that are not racist defend a negative with absolutely no proof.  This has been the game for years, it put the worst President ever in the White House and it is something that needs to stop if we are to survive as a nation.  Was there injustice and racism toward the Black man through the 1960's, no doubt and no defense, it was an awful part of our history, but it will only really become what it is history, when the Race Industry shuts itself down, their is nothing to rage against the machine for anymore, equality is there,  just take it, your opportunity awaits you and your only stopped by your own hatred not the hatred of others.  States rights are in question today as an excuse for taking all States rights away, when the FED was instrumental in keeping slavery alive in the form of Dred Scott Vs Sanford and other cases where the Supreme Court tread all over the constitution.  It was the States right to offer protection to escaped slaves not the FED's right to take away their right.  When someone offers the slavery argument for bigger government, tell them they don't know what they are talking about.  I often wonder if Slavery would have suffered a slow death and the Civil War been averted if the highest court had ruled differently and correctly.

The left has done a very good job of  labeling every conservative as a racist, nothing could be further from the truth.  We conservatives want everyone to succeed as far as their abilities will take them. If a person chooses to hang on the block and not prepare them self for life, that is their bad decision and not one forced on them, although I do blame the Race Industry for a lot of this, accusing people of acting white when they try to succeed.   We conservatives don't hate, but we do have enemies.  Big government is our enemy, the government that tramples on the constitution.  That included the XIVth amendment: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside".  By 1868 every State had ratified the fourteenth amendment.  That is not to say that there were not lingering affects of Slavery for many years after.  Our enemy is a Congress that has no sense of monetary policy and no idea how to fix an un broken economy, that would have righted it self by now if only left alone, this kind of mindlessness caused 12 years of misery and took what was a depression and made it the Great Depression.  I don’t see us faring any better if these mindless policies continue.  Our enemy is the voter proof  bureaucracy and the ever increasing Tzars to avoid the voter and Congress.  Our Enemy is the nationalization of banks and corporations like a 3rd rate dictator like Hugo Chavez.  The list of ways our everyday life and liberty is affected by these mindless drones goes on and on, from how much water your toilet uses, to choking your car engine so it can’t even get the gas mileage they pretend to want,  to 10% Ethanol which causes a 15% loss of fuel mileage, water would have worked just as well.  I can’t even watch TV anymore because of the idiotic Congress, not that there is much to watch, it still is the vast wasteland.  The list is endless and the sad part is we don’t even realize many of them any more, we have surrendered our liberty and now have forgotten what it was we had.

But as usual the Left always  needs a villain and in this case it is the conservative.  There was a time when special treatment was needed to turn the tide but those days are long gone, all anyone should expect is an equal playing field, the one that wants it the most and is willing to work the hardest will get the biggest rewards, that is the way our country works and the bases of its founding.   Obama’s lame redistribution of wealth ideas serve his purpose and make government bigger in the process, they get two for the price of one.  What we all get is poorer, not the poor get richer but we all will be poorer, even those that thought it wasn’t possible to get any poorer.  

I have an idea,  lets make it as uncomfortable for black racists as we have for white racist and then learn that we are all just people with strengths and weaknesses.  No matter who you are,  playing the race game is just a looser for all.

I will keep this short and sweet.  It is most important that we let everyone know including our Representatives that the American people don't what commycare.  If you can do so try to attend one of the rallies in your State.

Yesterday on Hannity, Bobby Jindal was scheduled to be on, I assume he was, but Hannity does this to me all the time, says someone is going to be on straight ahead and an hour later your still waiting, unfortunately he was still saying that at when I turned the radio off so I didn't get to hear him.  I like him, he didn't have a very good showing during his first prime time appearance but I don't think it is fatal, McCain didn't get too far in 2000 either.  He is a good solid conservative and if at all possible I would like to see him in the white house, unlike our present guy, he has actually accomplished something and doesn't just talk like Ronald Regain like Obama but actually does it.

Romney, I still haven't figured out.  I am not sure if he acted more liberal than Ted Kennedy during those debates to get elected in a liberal state and would have done the opposite of Obama or otherwise.  I like what has become his public image, but that is all image, how can one figure out how they will govern given the chance?  Having said that he is light years better than Obama, that isn't saying much, my dog if I had one could do a better job than Obama.  I think Romney is still in campaign mode and you will see him again in the 2012 campaign. 

Rudy is just too New York for the rest of the country, although he did a terrific job in New York City, you have to look at electability and I just don't think he is electable.

Huckabee, just not my favorite, although I agree with a lot of his ideas, certainly better than any Dem candidate they can muster, if things continue, I don't think Obama will even get the nomination.  In which case he will do a Hugo Chavez and just refuse to step down, don't hear much about Hondoras, must mean they are doing well or the media would be all over it.  Frankly there is just something creepy about Huckabee.

Sarah Palin of course has to be considered, she is actually neck and neck with Jindal for me but I didn't think the NewsMax survey showed her very well if you really look at it.  What worries me is this was pretty much a Republican survey with 81% of the participants voting for McCain/Palin so I would expect her general approval to be high but if you read between the lines you will see she has  3% lest support from the 81% who voted for McCain, this doesn't look good to me, especially when most thought as I do that McCain was a perfectly horrible candidate.  This all could change to Palin's advantage but I doubt it, what you see is what you get with Palin, you either like her or you don't.

1) What is your opinion of Sarah Palin?

Favorable: 83 percent

Unfavorable: 17 percent

2) Do you believe Sarah Palin as a running mate helped or hurt John McCain?

Helped: 80 percent

Hurt: 20 percent

3) In the election between McCain-Palin and Obama-Biden, who did you vote for?

McCain-Palin: 81 percent

Obama-Biden: 16 percent

Other: 3 percent

4) Would you support Sarah Palin as the Republican nominee for president in 2012?

Yes: 78 percent

No: 22 percent

5) Do you believe McCain did a good job running for president?

Good Job: 31 percent

Bad Job: 69 percent

6) Do you believe Barack Obama "bought" the White House by outspending McCain?

Yes: 72 percent

No: 28 percent

There is no doubt in my mind that the 2010 midterms are going to be a bloodbath and the good guys will win the day, that is good conservative candidates will pick up seats, not Snow's or Collin's but good ones and it just might be possible to take back one or both houses by 2012, it really is one of our best hopes to get things turned around.  A good candidate for President that doesn't mind taking the gloves off and hitting hard can win the White House no matter who they run, this communists thing just isn't working and there is time to catch it, but little time.

According to Rasmussen, Obama at the moment has a -11 approval rating.  This is calculated by subtracting the strongly approved from the strongly disapproved.  In spite of the presses best efforts the actual truth about this Presidency is starting to hitting home.  The one thing that confuses me is the  hatred for Bush.  Below you will see that 54%  think Bush is responsible for our present Economic condition.  Much like FDR who pumped massive amounts of money into a sinking ship, Obama' plan to spend his way out of a recession is just not as what it appears, they know it won't work, they see it as a way of obtaining more power.   It worked for a while but some people are waking up, this recession with a little positive help from our government could have been over by now, a few tax breaks, especially for small business would have done the trick and not cost a penny, in fact would have brought revenue into not out of the treasury.  So the Dems have fully succeeded in demonizing Bush, history will show us something different, Obama couldn't shine Bushes shoes, not to say that he was perfect, far from it but he wasn't a disaster like this guy.

37% said that deficit reduction should be his priority.  Of course some of this comes from his own lies, while spending like a kid with a new credit card and talking about deficit reduction, people had to realize something was wrong with that picture.  It looks to me like there is a solid 25% that think that the Dems and Obama can do no wrong, we should be able to take back the white house and the Congress in a landslide it seems to me.  All this talk about the Republican Party in disarray, you will see conservative candidates all over this country being elected in 2010 and 2012, don't buy the hype.

Other results of the poll:

49 percent somewhat approve of Obama's performance. 50 percent disapprove of Obama's performance. 76 percent see Obama as liberal. 48 percent see Obama as very liberal. 54 percent primarily blame former President George W. Bush for America's economic woes. 25 percent say the U.S. economy has been aided by the economic stimulus package. 53 percent oppose the Democratic healthcare reform package. 37 percent say deficit reduction should be Obama's top priority. 20 percent say healthcare should be Obama's top priority. The poll is based on answers from 1,500 likely voters. It has a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.

Many of us made our feeling known about National Health Care and it seemed to have worked.  The entire Congress from Ted Kennedy to the newest member of the House needs to realize they are all vulnerable.  We are not going to put up with the it, we will not live in an totalitarian state, this is still America.  Keep it up, it isn't over they will keep coming at us with more and more of the same, the idea of National Health Care is not dead, just pushed back and we need to keep it back. 

I read as much of the bill as I possible could put up with, I know why I wasn't a lawyer, most of us hate this stuff and they well know it, but you need to understand for yourself, not just what you are told, no matter how accurate you think the  source  might be.  What becomes obviously clear within a few minutes of reading this piece of crap is there is no way a private company providing health insurance could stay in business which leaves only the public option and eventually a single payer health care system.  It is the back door approach, but what else is new? 

When you call your representative or any representative, I don't stop at mine own, because I can give to their opponents campaign as well as my own representatives, ask to speak to the Rep, of course that won't be possible, but insist on talking to a staffer not the operator.  In some cases they will want to argue with you, to which you say fine that is your opinion, but your job is to transmit my opinion to the Rep.  These arguing staffers really give me a problem, I wonder how many calls they ignore because it doesn't fit their feelings.  Even moderate Democrats are starting to feel the heat so keep the burner on, your country and the country you leave behind counts on us. 

That's all, I haven't posted in a while, fighting a computer issue.  I don't find much to talk about that hasn't been said, but keep up the good work, write, email, call and keep it up, if its only 5 or 10 minutes every few days, it will make a difference.

God Bless
Barry

As our country continues to collapse under what comes close to a Totalitarian government, the world is uneasy.

There are grumblings in Iran and the start of a fledgling Democracy and our President backs the Tyrants, we have to ask ourselves what would Reagan have done.  Of course he wouldn’t talk with the present Iranian government unconditionally or maybe not at all, he would be overtly and covertly working hard to install a Democracy for people who wish one.  Our President is a complete failure, he has made a shambles of our Economy that would have been well on its way to recovery, but now it is heading for double digit unemployment and most likely double digit inflation.  On the world scene he has gone around the world appologizing for me and I detest his actions, we have nothing to be sorry for.  He is a complete failure and so out of his league as a world leader, he is barely a world follower.  So he backs the oppressive government in Iran, I am not saying that the other candidate was much better, but the people of Iran thought so and that is what counts.  It is a start, something like the Declaration of Independence was a start.

Now our President has instructed his Secretary of State to meet with the Tyrant that wouldn’t step down according to their constitution and our press is calling it a coup when it was up holding the peoples right according to their constitution.  This is typical for our Administration who have no regard for our constitution and trample on it every day, backed by the Congress and the Supreme Court who should be recognizing Tyranny when they see it.  Doesn’t a people have the right to protect them self from leaders who won’t step down, this is exactly what happened in Venezuela and the people of Hondorus well know it and don’t want it to happen there, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Obama refused to step down, think about that, wouldn’t you feel the right to make him.

Here is a thought folks, what if China all of a sudden decided not to do business with us, not only  don’t buy our debt but Walmart and every other store would have empty shelves like Soviet Russia, we don’t make anything anymore.  There is unrest in China, we should be speaking up for the injustice but we are so hooked on China as a supplier nobody is going to do it.  Isn’t it time to start making things here again instead of pushing business off shore or worse out of business.  We need to establish a better business climate not a worse one, it is FDR all over again, he also hated business and that depression lasted almost 12 years, there is a connection.

We have ghosts of the very worst Presidents in this guy,  FDR and Carter.  Does wearing a sweater and having your house cooler sound a lot like use those stupid bulbs and we will be alright, not start drilling for our own supply, that would be too logical.

There are two schools of thought on the 2010 election depending on whose side it making the statement.  One is that many seats in the House will be won by Conservative Republican candidates(notice I said conservative, having a Rino doesn’t help us) and the Senate would no longer be Filibuster proof.  Of course the other schools says just the opposite.  I think you will see Sarah Palin campaigning hard for conservative candidates in 2010 and in so doing will set her self up for a run for the Presidency(This is what Lincoln did for his brand new Republican party), I could be wrong.  It might be wishful thinking, but not only will she get my support, she will get my money and my time, I think she would make a terrific President.  What the press didn’t tell you is that Sarah Palin had trice the draw of Obama in fact I think she probably drew more than Obama and McCain together, she is very popular.  Of course she has here detractors, but they don’t matter, they are just a distraction and need to be ignored.  Obama’s number are shrinking fast and it just may be he won't  get the nomination, I would love to see Palin beat Clinton, now that would be a glorious day.  I suspect that Clinton will not last much longer so she can do the same and make a run in 2012.

Been a while since I had an inspiration to write anything, when there is so much bad happening it is hard to focus and don't they know it.  They have us just where they want us, my friends we lost a whole lot of our liberties yesterday and another brick from the wall that will lead to total collapse of our economy in short order if we can't stop the bleeding.

I have an idea, lets kill the 5 Judges that called CO2 a pollutant, because they breath it out several thousand times a day.  What an upside down world we live in.  Al Gore who was barely Competent as an elected official some how has become our Scientist of record, I know after all he did invent the internet.  The theory of global warming is just bad science, the fact that ever so slightly the earth's atmosphere is  cooling, under Gore's and the 5 men in black's theory we should be pumping every greenhouse gas we can into the atmosphere.  The truth is that no matter how much we tried we couldn't affect climatic changes one way or the other, CO2 is miniscule in the atmosphere and a non  factor in  green house effect, we are chasing our tail here.  That is the rouse, the fact is Cap and Trade has nothing to do with the atmosphere and everything to do with power.  They simply don't care that they are ruining the country, it just doesn't matter to them, I know it is a hard concept to get your mind around and don't you think they don't know it, but the facts are clear "Country First" is just not something that ever enters their mind.  This has been happening for 80 years or so, what makes it different is the ruthlessness of Obama, he just doesn't care, he doesn't care if he doesn't get reelected, this makes him a really dangerous person, his idealogy is the only thing that matters, nothing else.  He is about to get his wish, everyone will be the same, poor, well everyone but him and his croonies.

8 Republicans voted for this piece of crap, I don't know who they are yet, but I will be contributing to opposing conservatives to get them the out of there.  Surpising there were 43 Democrats that voted no, it would also be interesting to see how they have voted on other issues, maybe they want to join the Republican party.  The fact is, this is really not a partisan issue, it is just one terrible idea that needs to be stopped.  Conservative estimates say that every family will be burdened with more than $3000 every year directly because of this bill, mean while we have perfectly good sources of energy sitting there and we can't drill for it, Obama wants to put the coal industry out of business, they only supply 80% of our electricity, this bill gives him the means to do that.  Everything from food to heating fuel will be affected.  Truthfully,  $3,000 more a year in my situation puts me out of the game, I know we couldn't do it, our whole lifestyle would need to be altered.  I guess I would have to give up cable, wait I don't have cable, give up that vacation, wait we have never gone on a vacation, hmmm.... there must be something.... well we could eat a little less, find things that will grow in Maine in the winter.....  drop the heat down, if we did more of that we would have hypotherma.....  we could  give up driving except to work... wait we already do that....   I am smart.... don't worry I will think of something.  I know your saying you could give up Internet but the small amount of income I have is directly releated to the internet, so that doesn't work.  Oh, I could use those stupid smart light bulbs.... hmmm... Oh yeah we already do that,  everytime I see one of those save money segments on TV,  I watch intensely, same old.... same old.  Any ideas?

Sad to say, it will take a bigger miracle to stop in the Senate, the best chance was in the house, it was a squeaker but the bad guys won the day.

I don't know how we got this stupid.  Our educational system certainly has something to do with it, when tenure means more than teaching and unions are stronger than school boards.  We have less than a year in my opinion for the country to come to its senses, beyond that I am afraid it is just all lost and there will be no going back to the country we all loved.

This post is nothing earth shattering, just my feelings this morning for what it is worth and now I am off to a wedding, where these poor Obama voters will have to deal with these issues long after I am dead, I am secure in the knowledge that at least I didn't shoot myself in the foot, they shot me in the foot..... ouch ... hurts either way.

Many of you may have already seen this and contributed, if not you should.  He is right, there is enormous money being poured into Democratic campaigns by special interest groups, we will never raise that kind of money but every little bit helps.  I have directly to the fund to dislodge Harry Reid and will give to this one as well.  We are far from rich but I can give up a little something to restore this country for my grandkids.  Read below and contribute what you can.

 Dear Friend:

           I would like to invite you to join an important group I started that is working to elect true conservatives to the United States Senate.

           As you know, President Obama and congressional Democrats are ramming through billions in bailouts, stimulus plans, and pork-barrel projects as fast as they can.

           And they plan to effectively eliminate the right of workers to a secret ballot union election, which is a massive power grab for Big Labor. In return, unions will funnel millions into their campaign war chests to elect even more liberals to Congress.

           We desperately need principled leaders in the Senate to stop them, and we need those leaders now.

           This is why I formed the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF). Its mission is to bring bold leadership to Washington by supporting only the most rock-solid, conservative candidates nationwide -- candidates who believe in limited government, a strong national defense, and traditional family values.

           Our ultimate goal is to maximize freedom, security, and prosperity through conservative policies.

           We work to accomplish this goal by making direct contributions to candidates, educating voters on critical issues, and building a grass roots army of like-minded conservatives across the country.

           And let me be absolutely clear about something. SCF does not support liberal Republicans and it is not affiliated with the Republican Party or any of its campaign committees. It is entirely independent and will actively support conservatives in Republican primaries.

           I am writing today to ask for your help and I'm hoping you will answer the call. There are three easy things you can do that will help us fight for our freedoms:

1. Join our team and sign up for SCF email updates. We will send you occasional emails about key Senate races and important debates in the Senate.
   
   
2. Make a small contribution to fund our efforts. Your contribution of $10, $25, or even $50, combined with the support of thousands of others, will make a major impact.
   
   
3. Forward this email to your friends. We all know people like us who love their country. Now we need to invite them to join the fight.

           There are 515 days until the 2010 elections and SCF has already begun to make endorsements. We have a lot of work to do and no time to waste. Our candidates can win but only if they have the resources and only if we start working now.

           Thank you for considering how you can help. Working together, I know we can strengthen the Senate and take back our country.

           Go here and do what you can.

Sincerely,

Jim DeMint
United States Senator
Chairman, Senate Conservatives Fund

Better late than never doesn't apply here.   I seldom listen to Glenn Beck but did this morning because I had to be in the car and a little hard to drive and read a book, he brought up Cloward and Piven.   It is well known that Obama worked for and believed in the mission of ACORN for better or worse, mostly worse.  We knew of all his radical ties, no one paid any attention, just right wing propaganda. We knew he was an advocate of Saul Alinsky (Rules for Radicals) again nobody cared, he smiled nice and spoke so eloquently, isn’t he pretty.  ACORN was founded on the paper of Cloward &  Piven who also found a hero in Alinsky as a minor point.  Reading both Cloward & Piven’s “A strategy to end poverty”  and Alinsky’s “Rule for Radical are like watching a movie you have already seen, Obama’s play book.  When I say that Obama wants to ruin our Capitalist system, people think I am a nut, but that is exactly what Cloward and Piven instruct their radicals to do and Obama is a believer.  C&P strategy was to collapse the system and rebuild it to be more equal in their mind, isn’t that exactly what is happening, Obama knows exactly what he is doing and it will collapse the system, we need to stop it but it won’t be stopable unless more people take an interest.  The real question that these people should be asking is how did we let this happen and how can we stop it, not calling you crazy because you have learned the truth.  90% of this was there before the election, all that one had to do is look at it and not dismiss it, but dismiss it they did and they are still dismissing it, because it is hard for them to believe that someone so diabolical could be our President, well believe it, just look at it with an open mind, or don't open your mind the results will be the same, even the most ardent follower will say “What did we do”.  

I keep saying it.  I know it is uncomfortable and I tell this to my wife all the time and she doesn’t listen either, it doesn’t matter what they think of you, you have to spread the message, one day it will all click, hopefully before the 2010 election.

Then there are the people that are actually looking forward to all this, why? it is not clear to me.  The other day a caller to Mark Levin, supposedly a lawyer, he couldn’t wait for all the communist system to take its full affect, my words it would be hard to put it in actual context but in affect that is what he said.  Mark as a PHD in Law knows all about how the law schools are as liberal as they can possibly be, so I guess it didn’t surprise him very much, but there is no line at all between a liberal and a communist now a days, I know PC, they should be called socialist but lets call it the way it is, they are Communist.

So we all talk to one another, we all know what is going on, we read, we listen and we discuss and all is nothing more than preaching the choir.  Even Newt the other day on one of the Sunday shows was talking like Colin Powel, Susan Collin and Olympia Snow (I get their news letters) and the stupid big tent.  There is no big tent, just right and wrong. Right and wrong is a matter of perspective.  Most people wouldn’t think a person voting for the Democratic  party should have a say in  the politics of the Republican party, we would call that infiltration.  Infiltration is just what has happened.  Colin Powel has shown his colors,  why would people continue to listen to him, I can see why the MSM pushes his agenda but don’t buy it, it is garbage.  We don’t need a moderate Republican Party, that is what got us here and will continue to hand elections to the Democrats, for as long as it matters, soon your vote will mean nothing, that is what communism is all about, we are so close to a totalitarian government right now, that in a couple of years it will be complete.  The government controlling every aspect of your life.  What and if you drive a car, what kind of light bulb, how much water your toilet uses, Value added taxes so you barely make a living and become dependent, even though their false utopia will supply nothing but false promises.

One of two things is going on here, I am either crazy and very wrong or I see it clearly and most of the people don’t.  Of course I am not the only one and it could be that I am brain washed, but I don’t think so, I read a very diverse set of materials, from C&P to Rules for Radical to the Constitution, every history book I can get my hands on.  The Constitution is very plainly written, it doesn’t take a law degree to interpret it.  I have been on a political journey.  I wasn’t born a conservative, far from it.  I am jewish, that automatically makes me a Democrat or an outcast, why this is true I have no idea.  My father a big FDR fan was as close to a communist as you can get and as I look back only the label was left off, in all other ways he would be quite at home with Marx and today Obama.  I don’t know about all liberals, but my father read paperback trash, I read good history books and couldn’t see what you could ever get out of what he read.  So I consider myself a “Born Again American”, where the country seems to be “A born again Communist”.  Am I bitter, although I would never admit it in a discussion, yes I am, my country is being wasted and there is little I can do to change it, where am I to go Canada? Britain? An island?  Costa Rica? I don’t know, it is worth the fight but at some point there might be a decision that needs to be made.  Where can I go and get the medical care I need, the liberty I desire and the country that I once had, any ideas?  Even if you have done all the right things as we have and established a decent retirement, what will you have left when the government gets finished with all their taxes and the hyper-inflation that is inevitable from the monsterous borrowing.  The sad part is I am one of the lucky ones, I had a nice life even though the last years will be rough, my kids and their kids and their kids will never know what it was like living in the “Land of the free and the home of the brave”.

As we celebrate another convenient holiday, heaven forbid we should actually celebrate without a long weekend.  I do hope during your BBQ’s and festivities you had a chance to think of our fallen heros.  The ones that have been disabled as well as killed in the defense of this still great nation.  Hopefully we will give our heros a nation as we know it to come back to, that is going to be our mission, it doesn’t mean catching a bullet or terrible brain damage, just talking to people and let them know what they are not seeing on the nightly news.  Our bullets are those of shuns and ridicule at times, now is that so bad, but if they hear it enough they may take head and that is what we need.    We can’t make everyone a conservative, we just want them to vote like one.  

God Bless you all for being part of the solution and not part of the problem.

We all remember the Tea Parties and hopefully that spirit will continue right through the 2012 election.  Although the enemy isn't stupid, they won't think about raising taxes until after the 2010 election, gee I wonder why.

Now of course it is onward for the Administration and the ruining of our health care system.  Demonstrations are scheduled  across the country to demand a system of health care that uses our health-care dollars to extend quality health care to all and to stop financing insurance and pharmaceutical corporate profit, in their words.  They go on to use bogus numbers stating we have the 37th ranking health care system in the world, but looking more closely as with Global Warming, they have manipulated the results to suit their agenda, no question we are #1 in health care, nobody is rushing to these other countries for health care as they do the USA.  Here is the catch, Atlanta had 25,000 people at the Tea Party, let us see if they get 500 at this event, but the press will play it up like a demonstration out of the 60’s.  Here in Maine they are planning a counter demonstration but I wonder how effective that will be, they will stand back and make it look like there are more of them when it is more of us and focus on the signs of the Communist(there I said it, sugar coat it anyway you like, we are turning into a communist country of our own valishion). As Newton stated in his third law of physics, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.  In response to the World Health Organization(another UN type bashing USA type organization that is being used for the bible of the Health Care movement) is the Cato Institute report,  Download Cato report here
We can only hope that people are paying attention and see the big hole the left is digging for them self.  Our task is to find an run good conservative candidates in 2010, so far I see little of that happening.  In my state nobody want to take on the Congressman Michaud because he is established with enormous amounts of money and money talks now a days more than ideas, sad isn't it?

Hasn't anyone noticed that every single thing the Government does is a disaster, only covered up by the massive amounts of debt they can add, so it doesn't look like it affects your life.   How can a sane person think that wealth appears from thin air, as far back as history goes, governments have been accountable and haven't been able to spend what they don't have without borrowing.  The interest alone on our debt if we were not to take on another penny is over $600 Billion a year, that is pure wasted money.  At some point nobody will be willing to buy our debt because we can't pay it off.

Just more happy news.  I suspect for all the belly aching about Bush, he will be viewed by history as a pretty good President and Obama will be rated among the worst if not taking the prize.  That is assuming we have better people writing history books than writing in our newspapers.
