WHITHER GOEST AMERICA? WILL IT BE AMERICA OR AMERIKA?

“We are just days from fundamentally transforming this nation.”
Barack Hussein Obama three days prior to the presidential elections of 2008

When candidate Obama uttered those words to a highly supportive and enthusiastic crowd of camp political camp followers, few knew or even caught what exactly he meant and planned by that promise; a promise he planned to keep. From that time to the present – two years – he has embarked on the most far sweeping change of how federal power is applied at the state and local level this country has ever seen.

On practically every level, Barack Obama has increased the size, power, and spending of government more than all of his predecessors combined – indeed beyond anyone who voted for him had envisioned. The change he brought was not the change they anticipated. They thought he would usher in an era of bi-partisanship, and put behind him the recrimination and gutter politics that the Clintons had brought to the capital, and that had marred the political landscape with the abuse of federal power against political rivals and so-called enemies of the Clintons. They believed him when he promised that he would put away once and for all the dirt and the smut that politicians flung against one another, and that he would resolve almost all of the nation’s ills, especially its economic depression looming on the horizon as the nation entered his era of change and hope.

With the coming new year, the hope gave was seen as nothing but a hype. The promise of recovery became a bed of woeful affliction of every type as the nation headed closer and closer to financial meltdown and millions faced great financial and personal loss. By late 2009, the nation was in depression, but the pundits and the media elites were telling the people that the “recession” as they called it, was over, and that the nation was now in recovery. The reality out in the streets and throughout the nation was anything but what was being reported by the media; more and more people were out of work, more Americans had exhausted all of their unemployment benefits and were now faced without work and with a cushion to keep them from losing their homes, and paying for their most basic necessities. But, the federal government was quick to bail out the most powerful interests in banking, insurance, the large brokerage firms, and the auto industry, which it nationalized in the name of saving it. Overnight with a stroke of the federal pen signed by President Obama, thousands of thriving dealerships across the country were forced to shut down, some having been family businesses for decades; while the federal government under the control of the large unions wielded federal power to decide who would close and would remain open. Dealerships that were politically connected were given the green light to remain open, and in many cases were mandated by the Obama Administration to take over the business of other dealerships with no political connections. By the end of the year, the American people knew that Chicago style politics had come to Washington and Barack Obama’s promise of “change you can believe in” was nothing but more of the same old politics, except now it was on steroids and wielding the power of the Executive Branch of the federal government under the new president they helped to elect.

As the nation continued to slip into further economic depression, more and more Americans saw their life’s earnings disappear, and the hope and change had given way to despair and depression. The dream had given way to the nightmare; and for the first time more and more Americans began to understand what they had unleashed upon themselves with the man they put in office. Buyer’s remorse had now taken hold of the nation, and the shining symbol they had viewed the day of the inauguration was now dust in the cold winds of the winter of their discontent as Obama’s first year in office was coming to a close.

With the new year, the national mood had become somber and disenchanted as more and more of the very same people who helped elect the new president realized they had been had; and more and more Americans felt disenfranchised with Washington, having witnessed their elected representatives conduct back room deals in the dead of night and arm twisting political kickbacks for those supporting the president’s health care reform, every one of its supporters not having read the legislation before casting their vote for it. It had become an unpopular piece of very bad legislation foisted upon the American electorate without their approval – their representatives had not even sought their consent before voting for the new legislation, a breach of trust which they and their party would pay dearly for later that year during the midterm elections. Obama wanted his healthcare reform passed, and by golly, they were going to pass it no matter what, and they did. Congress had become nothing more than the new president’s rubber stamp, and enacted almost every provision and measure he brought before them for a vote – every piece of legislation a bad one which would accelerate the hemorrhaging of jobs to more amenable business environments overseas. America was in a quagmire of her own creation and its leaders had sold out their party’s interest and the interests of the elites who owned them rather than those of the nation and the people who elected them.

As the months rolled along and the midterms approached, everything that was said by Obama’s detractors about the new initiatives the president had supported and his congress had passed was now coming to pass, but it was worst than they had warned. The rose that everyone who voted for Obama’s hope and change had now become ashes in their laps. The golden egg every family was promised had been exposed as fool’s gold. And as more and more Americans had become disenchanted and disappointed with the president’s policies, the conciliatory voice they had heard during the 2008 campaign had given way to and taken on a shrill and increasingly more partisan and accusing tone. The public began to see that the symbol of hope and change had been nothing more than a cynical ploy of the best Madison Avenue advertising money could buy, and boy did it take money and a lot of hard work to create that image, and it had worked; but in the light of the cold hard reality of what was before them, the public began to see that mansion of hope and change had been the shack of despair and political corruption. Again, Chicago style Democratic Machine politics had come to the White House and to congress.

But it did not end just with the way the new president was running things, he now had taken his brand of politics and worldview overseas, and in the most humiliating fashion castigate his own country before the nations of the world, as he paid homage to the leaders of Muslim nations, in one instance showing obeisance to the king of Saudi Arabia, a display that could only be made by one practicing Muslim to the political and religious leader of the Sunni Muslim World. It didn’t stop there. Terrorist incident which had been prevented for eight years under the previous president’s policies, now took center stage as a crazed practicing Muslim opened fire in Fort Hood, Texas and killed several of his army colleagues while wounding others before he was himself shot by military police. In what could have become a second 9/11 over the skies of an unsuspecting country, another Muslim fanatic attempted but failed to ignite a makeshift bomb in his underwear, and was later apprehended when the plane safely landed. That day over two hundred innocent souls would have lost their lives. Obama was quick to warn Americans not to become alarmed by these incidents and continued to make apologetic excuses for such acts even before all of the facts had began to come in about them.

Still, it didn’t end there, the Department of Homeland Security under Janet Napolitano, appointed by President Obama, had now changed the role of the War on Terror to investigating veterans returning home from war and conservatives, particularly white males, whom her memo deemed risks to national security. On orders from Eric Holder, Obama’s Attorney General, the Department of Justice ordered the FBI to discontinue their surveillance of radical elements in this country and cells they had been following and watching very closely. On his orders the Department of Justice was to cease and desist from further investigation of the New Black Panther Movement – an even more radical, racist and Anti-Semitic group than the original Black Panthers, of which even some of the original Black Panthers had themselves denounced as hateful and racist. It was becoming clear to the American people that the people in charge at the top were not conducting government in their best interests, though all claims to the opposite were continually being made.

In the face of all that had transpired the past two years, the American electorate had had it, and throughout the nation, T.E.A. Parties gathered by the tens of thousands, and then by the hundreds of thousands, and then by almost a million, but with each gathering the media – ideological and political allies of Obama – were quick to under-report the numbers, and charges by them and by Democrats such as Chuck Schumer (D. NY), Nancy Pelosi (D.Cal.), Harry Reid (D. Nev.), Charles Wrangle (D. NY), and many others of the progressive New Democrats (as they had been hailed by the sympathetic press when they began to appear in Washington on Bill Clinton’s coat tails in the 92’ election), were made against the T.E.A. Party as extreme. The same politicians who were amongst the most leftwing that the Democratic Party had ever had were now charging grassroots Americans as extreme, calling them angry. In an overt act of provocation, a group of black Democratic congressmen walked through a T.E.A. Party rally in a blatant attempt to foster an incident they could tag as racist, yet when none materialized, some of their number charged those gathered as having shouted racial slurs against them. It was reported and even recorded at the scene that no slur was ever made, and the charges made by these congressmen provocateurs were spurious. In a flash, America got a taste of what Obama’s hope and change was all about as the president’s minions did his bidding as he sat back and observed and used each provocation to his political advantage. America had begun to see the real man behind the curtain, and he did not look at all like what they had been manipulated to see by history’s most effective public relations campaign a year before.

And so we’ve come to this juncture, and we are being told by our press to expect a political tsunami eclipsing the one that swept Obama and his Democrats into office in 2008, only this time in reverse. Are we to believe the pundits and the talking heads that come Tuesday? That the Democrats may lose about one hundred seats in the House of Representatives and approximately ten seats in the Senate? Or is talk show host Michael Savage correct when warning that the Left who control political machineries in almost every major metropolitan city throughout the country will by now have sprung to action to ensure the usual multiple votes, votes by dead people, and loss absentee ballots coming in from those serving in the armed forces overseas? Are we to expect voter registration fraud on an unprecedented scale throughout the country, with pre-selected ballots favoring the Democrats and rigged machines manned by operatives and technicians from the SEIU, and the DNC? Already we have heard of such occurrences in key battleground states where the incumbent Democrats are battling for their political lives and their expectation of holding their seats dwindling as the days to Tuesday’s elections draw near? He seems to be the only talking head that this writer has heard make this observation, and quite frankly, it is most disquieting. It is disquieting because on every level such an act to mitigate the will of the American electorate would only serve to make evident to US just how far we have fallen, and that things are a lot worse than we thought for our nation, our liberties, and our future. If this is the case, then we are at a watershed, at a crossroads, but either way, whether this comes to pass, or we see real substantive change come next Tuesday, the nation will be at a crossroads, and we will all be in it.

THE ELECTION: LIBERTY OR A CONTINUATION OF OBAMA'S SOFT TYRANNY?

Just a few observations before next Tuesday’s historic electons: We are being told by the mass media and the pundits and talking heads that anger is what is driving the American elctorate to vote – as they claim – the Democrats out, but I would posit that it is not anger so much that is driving the American electorate, but an abiding love of country and the institutions long cherished, yet taken so for granted by most; an awakening if you will of the American electorate demanding their elected officials to be accountable and represent them and not the unseen elite behind the polticians. An embrace of the Constitutional principles which have made this nation the envy of the world; a unique nation which the people of many lands, cultures, races, and languages have flocked to because it has promised to them what their native lands could not – the freedoms and liberties for self-expression and creation unfettered by government, and a respect of the religiuos liberties that only a truly free society could engender, promote, and defend above all else, because of the strong Judeo-Christian precepts upon which this nation was founded and from which the underpinings of this great republic gets its strength and endurance.

The American electorate is not an unbathed Ignorant and bigoted mass full of anger, fear, and racial hatred of others as the far left Coca Cola Communists and far Left insulated rich elites have charged them as being, but a highly well informed and well educated mass that has been awakened by the militant Marxist agenda that swept the land with Barack Obama’s Red Revolution and take over of government the last two years. This is what drives the American electorate. To claim otherwise is to be woefully ignorant of them, and to presume upon them feelings and motivations that the vast majority of them do not have and find at odds with their most cherished beliefs as Americans. Because the far Left cannot account for or understand what they call a Tsunami, they fall back on their own mis-characterization of those with whom they disagree; they embrace what they claim to abhor – the negative campaign against those they oppose politically and the expression that their vaunted left-wing candidates which they call “mainstream” are embattled by the voices of extremism, sexism, and every newspeak term they’ve developed as tools of their dialectical assault in their arsenal.

But, the American electorate, for too long well accustomed to this and recognizing when they’ve been had, have not fallen for this tactic, and they see right through as nothing more than partisan bickering by a press which has sold out to a political party – the Democratic Party – and has never really reported objectively about the issue and topics of the day. They recognize that the press is not free, but an adjunct of the Democratic Party and the special interests of the large corrupt trade unions and far Left group that have dominated the DNC’s base for a generation.

But the American electorate has also come to recognize that career liberal progressives do not dominate just one party, but two, as they see leaders of the GOP work behind the scenes to elect leftwing RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) who will “work with President Obama” if elected to office, while compromise the very principles that both political parties have long abandoned, but which the GOP claims they support, but really don’t. They know when they smell a rat, and in many races such as the one in Delawar, Florida, Alaska and many others, they see where the GOP’s leadership’s heart really is, and it’s not with the American electorate. They know the Democrats are not with them, but they can stomach even less the Republican who claim to represent and support them but who really have worked with the Democrats to undermine their conservative principles and have betrayed their trust. This is the reason that Republicans are even less popular than Democrats, though the “mainstream” press would not tell you because they want you to believe that it’s because the American people support Obama and the Democrats have failed him and the Republicans have obstructed him. That’s the lie the press wants you to believe, but the reality is that the American electorate is sounding a loud and unmistakeable voice of rejection of Obama’s agenda by voting out every Democrat that’s been instrumental in promoting it, and every Republican that has acquesed or supported it. This is how T.E.A. Party candidates running as Republicans have defeated long-time incumbants in several states throughout the nation.

The result is such that the Democratic Left with its vast machinery throughout every municipalitiy along with GOP progressives allied to them within these municipalities are working to create the greatest voter fraud so massive so pervasive that the 2000 presidential election which almost litigated the unstable and corrupt Al Gore to the White House pales by comparison. They’re doing this in order to mitigate the overwhelming voter turn out they expect this coming Tuesday which has the potential to shift the balance of power in Washington from the elites and power brokers and bureacrats and technocrats in Washington back to the American electorate. They expect a resounding rejection of Obama’s policies and are working feverishly behind the scenes and in some cases, in front of them – as they’re doing openly in the press and mass media – so that their losses will not result in their loss of power. Make no mistake about it, there are very rich and politically powerful people who do not want US to return to representative government and a government of the people and by the people, but the status quo of big wasteful and oppressive government and high taxation and regulation that has dominated this country for twenty-five years and have cost the tax paying American electorate more than can be innumerated in this brief analysis of these elections. We are already seeing the massive voting irregularities across the nation in key states where the races favor the T.E.A. Party candidate over the entrenched liberal encumbant. The fact that the GOP leadership and organs of our government are not all over this indicates just has vast and how well entrenched the corruption goes. It crosses party lines because it is ideological in nature.

Next Tuesday show the pundits and talking heads that you are not unmotivated, disaffected, and undecided and uninformed as they have accused you as being, but that you are highly motivated, well informed, and very decidedly focused in the direction you want this country to move in the coming years, and that to this end you will cast your vote next Tuesday reflecting this, repudiating everything the Far Left has said about you.

Next Tuesday what will be needed of the American electorate is that those who value their freedoms and liberties for which so many before US have given their lifeblood, and for which our Founders sacrificed so much, must come out in droves to every precinct and vote. Vote as though your future and the future of this great nation depends on it, because it does. If they do not, those whom have been entrusted the responsibility of being both a light unto others and the element within our society of preserving its most cherished institutions as the salt of the earth, will have failed to live up to those ideals the failure for which this nation will never recover because it may very well not be given this opportunity again, at least in our lifetime.

OBAMA'S RECOVERY IS REALLY OBAMA'S DEPRESSION

I need not elaborate about the current state of this economy. It speaks for itself. The people who are suffering under it themselves are the witnesses to the stark reality they face versus what the media and this White House has attempted for months to misleadingly portray as a “recovery” while telling US all that the country is headed “in the right direction.” Well, to Mr. Obama and those who think like him things could never be better, vacations throughout the year, the best dining, expensive parties at the White House, expensive clothing, the best catering, the best places, the best of everything, while the rest of America lives in an economic blight which is getting progressively worst with each day and with each doctored economic report. Things are a lot worse than they are presented by this government. The figures are being doctored to create an image more politically favorable to this president and his party who face a midyear election just a month and a half away.

No matter how they try to spin it, the shuttered businesses, the abandoned real estate lots, the empty office spaces, the empty lots across sprawling empty malls, the depressed sales figures, the rising unemployment rate, the increasing number of those who have exhausted all of their unemployment benefits and have not been able to find work, and the continued flight of jobs overseas to places more amenable to business than the current climate in Washington, real estate in a state of flat line, and the increasing number of foreclosed homes, and bankruptcies.. All of these things realities combined throughout the country in numbers never before seen since the Great Depression auger a different picture than the pained efforts given by the news media to this administration’s policies on the economy, which are literally non-existent, except to say when it wishes to increase payroll, property, and income taxes across the board to every American while claiming to do the opposite, and actually claiming to be doing it to the top ten per cent of Americans. They lie.

The hallmark of this administration is fast becoming to those who can see beyond the rhetoric, promise one thing then do another. But even when the promises made seem half-way reasonable, which more often than not they don’t to those who can see beyond them, the meaning of what may appear reasonable when put into practice becomes an albatross of a millstone hung around small businesses, ordinary tax payers, and the retired and disabled who’ve paid into the system all their lives and are now finding that this administration has cut their benefits by over five hundred billion dollars in order to fund Obama’s pet project – ObamaCare and the burgeoning federal deficit that in a year and half under this administration, has grown to three times that of the one President Bush proposed to congress the year he left office, and greater than entire federal deficit under all previous presidents in the last two hundred plus years of this nation’s history. Something’s got to give, and it must be now, because the change this administration has brought is not the one the people voted for back in 2008.

And they certainly did not vote for the partisanship, racial division, class warfare and polarization and envy these bring to our nation, but Obama seems to thrive on and promote it while claiming to do the opposite. Barack Obama, the post-racial president, the president of hope, and change has become the most partisan and racially divisive politician in the country. Something is fundamentally wrong here, and it has to do with dialectics. The revolutionary will make claims and promises he does not intend to keep. Indeed, the revolutionary uses these as tools for manipulating crowds and use them as pawns to bring about the societal social and economic justice” he believes he must initiate in order to succeed in fundamentally changing the United States, as Obama promised while campaigning in 2008, and has begun to bring about with a rubber stamp Democrat – controlled congress. Change to Obama is not substantive change in corruption, or cronyism, or union graft and payoffs; though he referred to it several times during when he was campaigning for president. The reality is just the opposite. Barack Obama and his Democratic Party are the biggest purveyors of political graft and corruption and union and big business electioneering in the history of this nation. The claim is made, as Obama made during his campaign two and a half years ago, and as he’s made ever since, that he has worked to do away with the corrupt and partisan politics of Washington, while doing just the opposite. The Democratic Party has never been more corrupt, and this administration has its nose deeper than any before it in the large unions and their interests. One thinks of the AFL-CIO, the SCIU, the NEA, the Teamsters, the National Federation of Teachers, and dozens of other big money, big labor organizations wedded to the DNC and to the political machineries of almost every big city government in this country. The scope of this corruption is so vast, so great, is defies the imagination.

Who’s reporting on it? Barely a soul. Why? Because the organs of the news media are allies of almost all of the politicians these organizations endorse and give tens, and in some cases, have contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to since the days of Franklyn Delano Roosevelt. The more things change, or some claim have changed, the more they’ve stayed the same, except unforeseen by many, the changes wrought by the Democrats under Obama these last two years have devastated an already fragile economy, and now they’re trying to tell the their individual constituencies that regardless of who they’re hurting at the present time, every policy measure enacted into law by them has been something for which they deserve reelection for. Can you believe it?

And they’re doing this on a state by state level, attempting to put on the best face possible, and divorce themselves from the national agenda this administration under this president sought their help and vote for, and got passed by them. The Native American Indians called this “talking with a forked tongue, “ I call it, talking out of both sides of their mouths.
These duplicitous morons deserve the contempt of the average American, and not one of them should be reelected to office. What’s more, the political machinery in every city should be dismantled and replaced, because all it has done is enrich the local, state, and national politician who when having been elected to high office, has in almost every instance, shown his or her appreciation by passing more and more draconian pieces of legislation, while impoverishing the very people who voted them into office, and with each piece of legislation passed, the very liberties and freedoms for which so many shed their blood and honor for; erodes bit by bit, and the nation’s sovereignty is sold to the powerful organizations and the people behind them who promoted such legislation through these politicians.

Rather than pass a budget, this Democrat-dominated congress has instead chosen to adjourn and go campaigning on tax payer expense, and perhaps the biggest campaigner is the Campaigner in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama, who is spanding an entire month traveling throughout the United States campaigning at on our dime; but it’s not a dime that his campaigning is costing US, rather tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, perhaps coming from the undisclosed amount of Stimulus Cash stashed by this administration. Either or, the president and his allies I congress, including the Republicans are all campaigning rather than passing needed legislation, and most of them are doing it at our expense. Don’t you just love your government at work for you?
