There is a refrain which goes something like this:
“Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.”
There is another one like it which goes:
“You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”
I warned in 2008 what this man was all about when he won his party’s nomination for the presidency. Few listened to me. Some even kept making excuses for him, and others even asked that I’d not comment any more about the man to them because they did not want to “get political,” but they had no problem getting “political” when it came to promoting his candidacy, and voting for him on Election Night.
Though I was disappointed, I kept and have continued to warn my readers of this man’s agenda, and how this agenda would impact their liberties, and their wallets, but especially what these policies would do to our country. Yes, I detailed what he would attempt to do if elected president that November, but what I did not expect to see was how his party, literally to a person, allowed this radical to have his way on every issue, every measure, every policy by closing ranks in support of his agenda. I had known for some years how far the Democratic Party had gone, but I was not aware just how far it had been co-opted by militant radicals and outright Communists. You think that the word Communist is a bit extreme? Then you have not known that for some time, several members of the Democratic Party have been active supporters and promoters of the most radical regimes on the planet; some like several members of the Congressional Black Caucus flying to Cuba to celebrate the Communist Revolution during its annual celebrations, which included holding meetings with the dictator himself; Fidel Castro. You want to talk about extreme? That’s extreme.
The American people, white, black, yellow, brown, and everything in between have had it, and they are not fooled by the rhetoric from Washington and the media spin on the news. They realize that the alphabet soup media is now part and parcel a public relations arm of the Obama White House, conducting damage control for the president and his supporters in congress. They know that the hundreds of billions of bail out tax dollars that have gone to the banks, the brokerage houses, the large insurance interests and the big labor unions have done nothing for this economy, but exacerbate the Great Recession/Depression. Wall Street has been bailed out by Main Street, but Main Street has been left out to dry.
They know that the real unemployment numbers are at 22 per cent, not 9.9 per cent, because the long term unemployed are no longer counted by the government as a statistic. For all intents and purposes, they have ceased to exist as far as Obama and congress are concerned. The unemployment figures have been doctored to appear more than half its true numbers, and the long term unemployed – the 99ers – have been forgotten and abandoned by this White House and by both houses of congress and both political parties. Their excuse, they claim that the American people do not support the federal government allowing unemployed people who have paid into the system for over thirty years to be able to collect as they continue to look for work in this depression. They claim that the mood of the nation is to stop spending. They’re partially correct, but they are grossly wrong if they believe that the vast majority of voting Americans do not support getting federal help to the disadvantaged among US. It is not just any spending that Americans oppose, it’s the federal bailout of the rich and powerful and foreign nations being bailed out at America’s expense. This is what they’re opposed to. They’re tired of being lied to, of being forced to accept laws and policies which will impoverish them, mortgage their future, and destroy what little they have left. And the people are making their voices heard. Recently someone whom the media choose to ignore wrote this letter to the president and congress:
Senators and Representatives:
You should be ashamed of yourself, and here's why:
You have decided to ignore the people you reduced to poverty. The longest unemployed workers did not create this depression, you did. You did this with your failure to regulate the banks, health industry, and corporations. People who were fully employed, paying taxes, and raising families are now paying the price for your negligence. They trusted you to keep something like this from happening. You failed them.
Now you are deliberately failing them again. This may be a recession for you, but it's a depression for them. You know this depression will last longer than until March, yet you have no plans to add additional unemployment tiers to keep these people from becoming increasingly destitute. Tens of thousands will begin to lose all financial support on March 14. You know with full clarity that these benefits are the only money keeping food on their tables. You know that their benefits run out in March, and that these American families will be on the path to shelters and soup kitchens.
...and this is not of their making. They're not to blame. You are.
...and you're about to discount them again by allowing their benefits to end with Tier IV.
By the way, don't pride yourself on extending the current benefits for the more recently unemployed, as included in the Job Bill. Of course you should do this, but as you know, the bill as it is written will not help any of those who have been the longest and hardest hit by this depression. The Job Bill only half addresses the unemployed, and 50% is an F.
Please make sure that the only choice for Americans who want to work is either a job or unemployment benefits. Don't end benefits until there are jobs for them. As of now, there is only 1 job for every 6 unemployed workers. Take care of these victims.
ADD A TIER V
http://www.change.org/petitions/view/the_99ers_need_a_tier_v_added_to_unemployment_benefits
Someone else who is facing the end of his unemployment benefits which he paid into for years writes:
Very soon, there will be millions of us that will be suffering without benefits. This will not only affect us as individuals, but our families and our close friends. because those of us in the mid-forties to retirement age are not finding stable work. A lot of us were looking forward to a comfortable retirement after years of productive work. All of that money that we saved for years is gone. Many of us will be on welfare now and in retirement. Think of it, a large proportion of the post war generation will end up being cared for by the government or will end up on the streets.
Now we're moving in with our children, our aged parents and old friends after years of independence. We've lost our homes and jobs. There will be no legacy for our children to inherit. We're filing bankruptcy in record numbers. All of this through no fault of our own. Age discrimination laws are weak and difficult to prove in the hiring process.
We didn't ask for this. We were robbed "with a fountain pen". It almost seems like it was planned all along. First, they took our retirement savings, then they took away our jobs and homes. That money went somewhere. Now, they've cut unemployment benefits.
About 3.4 million Americans have been out of work for more than a year, according to a study by the Pew Fiscal Analysis Initiative. You can read about it at this link: More Than a Million May Lose Jobless Aid Due to Deficit Concern on the San Francisco Chronicle Web site. This government is quick to send tens of billions of tax payer money to foreign governments of questionable character, yet they cannot find it within themselves to extend help to impoverished Americans who worked all their lives, and paid into the system, and now find themselves foreclosed and forgotten, while Wall Street revels at 11,000! While Rome burns, Nero and his supporters play the harp and sing the praise of their own work. In another article about the current state of high unemployment in the nation we read:
With a projected $1.5 trillion federal deficit looming this year, though, lawmakers from both parties are resisting costly and politically unpopular appeals to extend benefits.
While that could change quickly in an election year, Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., who supported previous extensions, told Bloomberg News Service last week that 99 weeks is enough.
That didn't sit well with Mignon Veasley-Fields, a 61-year-old former charter school administrator from Los Angeles.
"Ninety-nine weeks is sufficient? I paid into unemployment for almost 40 years of my life. How dare he (Baucus) say that. This is what hurts," Veasley-Fields said, fighting back tears. "He has no clue what it's like to have to spend money on groceries and then pray that the utility company will give you an extension so that you'll have lights."
When she hits her 99-week limit at the end of the month, Veasley-Fields will join more than 100,000 "99ers" in California who've also maxed out their benefits....
While the economy created 290,000 new jobs in April, unemployment jumped to 9.9 percent as 805,000 people rejoined the labor force to renew their job search. Sadly though, 6.7 million Americans, nearly 46 percent of the nation's unemployed, have been jobless for 27 weeks or more. Another 1.2 million are still discouraged and no longer looking....
Harvard University economist Lawrence Katz said the nation is 11 million jobs short of where it should be population-wise. To catch up, 15 million new jobs are needed during the next four years.
Fifteen million new jobs in four years is a tall order, made taller by every passing month in which the administration and Congress don't make job creation a higher priority. In the meantime, unemployment extensions are the only thing allowing millions of Americans to hang on. Congress needs to pass Tier 5.
In another article on the same topic, someone else has made the following observation:
Tier 5 Benefits Extension a Desire After Unemployment Benefits Extension. Millions of Americans have exhausted their unemployment benefits and don’t know what they are going to do next. It’s not that they don’t want to work or aren’t able to work – it’s that employers just aren’t hiring.
The hardest hit are those that are in the middle or towards the end of their careers. These individuals are either typically overqualified for available positions or unable to compete with younger jobhunters.
Still yet, these people persevere, sending out hundreds of resumes and sitting through hours of interviews. Those lucky enough to snag a job typically find themselves in a position that pays less than they used to get at their old jobs.
The reality is that just just one in five people looking for work since last year at this time have been able to find work – that’s one in five! More than a thousand unemployed workers were polled in a Rutgers University Study last year. The study discovered that 21 per cent found jobs, but more than two thirds remained unemployed, and the rest just gave up looking for work in this “jobless recovery.” Of those who found work, only thirteen per cent found full time work, and of those sixty-one per cent said that the jobs they were in were just temporary, as they continued to look for something better. In March of this year more than four hundred fourteen thousand were added to the roll of the unemployed for that month alone. Of the long term unemployed, it has hit those over 50 hardest. Only twelve per cent have found work since last August. To cope with this situation, 70 percent of the unemployed have dipped into their retirement funds, while 56 percent have borrowed money from their relatives and friends. As many as 45 percent taken out cash advances on their credit cards. Forty-two percent are uninsured, 20 percent have moved in with their family; some even with their friends, and 18 percent visited a soup kitchen.
They have been insulted, they have been called all sorts of epithets, they have been investigated as threats to national security, they have been accused of racism by racial hucksters in congress and the media, they have been misrepresented, and maligned by politicians and the mass media. They have been lied to by politicians, used by them for their reelection, but they will not take it any longer. There is going to be such a groundswell of opposition to Washington Insider Politics and Insider Politicians this year and the years to come, that it will dwarf every political movement of this country’s past. You do not smack somebody down, spit on them, treat them like dung, and expect them to ask for a repeat performance. Just how much does this man and his party, and his supporters in the media believe they can get away with?
Obama and others like him may have gotten over seventy-five per cent of the Jewish vote in 2008, and 95 per cent of the Black vote, including 78 per cent of the Hispanic vote, but there is one thing that will not recur in 2012; a repeat of the mistake that was 2008. Why? Because the change that Obama wants is not the change the people voted for in 2008. Plain and simple. America went to sleep and dreamed but the dream they dreamed became a nightmare of which they have awakened. They will not be lulled back to sleep again.

OBAMA'S KATRINA - A BRIEF CASE STUDY
I just viewed some amazing photographs that tell the story of what happened in the Gulf of Mexico recently. I wonder whether BP or any company would have been able to keep the rig from sinking, considering that this thing was burning well into the second and third day. But, that being said, while this was happening, BP should have taken measures to stop the spill beneath the surface of the waters. This should have been their top priority, and the government should have been there from day one instead on the ninth day. Eight precious days passed without the US government taking any action whatsoever. They’re right calling this Obama’s Katrina. It’s worst than Katrina because the damage it is about to cause is much greater to the Gulf of Mexico, the Texas, Louisiana Mississippi, and Florida panhandle, and especially to the west coast of Florida. There is even talk that this will affect also the east coast of Florida and parts of the Caribbean Sea. But, consider also what it is going to do to the livelihood the tourist industry of the states affected, and the fishery, and how this will impact an already fragile economy teetering on depression?
Consider also that the first thing this administration did was to cast blame nine days later, and do nothing to stem the flow of the spillage, even though there were measures which it could have put into place on the first day which would have made a world of a difference upon what occurred later. Why is it that the only thing the Obama Administration seems to be adept at doing is casting blame to others rather than to take a leadership role and do something right for a change when something needs to be done in an emergency? Why is it that this president never takes responsibility for anything, and characteristically places blame on others with regards to issues where his immediate and direct action is needed? What does this say about his character and leadership abilities? What does it say about his effectiveness to address real crisis management when that crisis management is needed in an emergency?
This is what you get when you place a person who has had no prior executive experience in handling crisis management, and who makes people based upon political affiliations to sensitive and important positions of leadership and policy, who are needed to address problems during crisis when they occur. This is what occurs when executive appointments are made based upon partisan and ideological metrics instead of knowledge, experience, and track records working on the areas of expertise where such requirements are a must in order to get the work done when the work needs to be done effectively, timely, and with minimal cost to the tax payer and to the industry, because in the in the final analysis, when leaders bungle, the public and the nation pays for their bungling, as we will soon discover at the pump and in our homes and businesses. Is there nothing that this man (Obama) can do that is right for a change?

THE MESSAGE WE MUST SEND THIS NOVEMBER
Today’s Democratic Party is not the party of Harry Truman, and Barack Obama is not Harry Truman, or the last great Democrat President, John F. Kennedy. In fact, there has not been a single good Democrat run for the presidency since John F. Kennedy ran, and there will not be until the Democratic Party come back to the farm, pull up their sleeves, and begin to do some real work. The old line Democrats whom some call blue dogs and conservative, lost the party to the Progressive Radicals and Communists of Obama’s ideological persuasion who call themselves the New Democrats, and now those whom they elected to represent them in Washington, have lost the nation, and will lose the elections in November, and they might even lose the White House in 2012 if this country still has elections that year. If they lose, they deserve to lose.
Barack Hussein Obama is a leftwing former junior senator from Illinois with pro-PLO/Anti-Semitic proclivities and absolutely no foreign policy experience whatsoever, with a penchant for believing that America is not a force for good in the world but the very cause of evil and chaos. A man who never held a real job in his life, who never owned a business, hates the capitalist system, promotes the redistribution of wealth by government, and doesn’t know what it’s like to live paycheck to paycheck, and prior to his election to the White House, a man who lacked any real executive experience, or lacked any bi-partisan legislation to his name that he could cite as having drafted with his colleagues across the isle.
Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrats who hold to his world view and especially his view of the Middle East must be defeated at all costs at the ballot box in November, and in 2012. The Democratic Party must be sent a message that will reverberate throughout the halls of congress and throughout the land - that the American people do not take kindly to rich politicians catering to the rich and bailing them at the expense of the average citizen out while Main Street suffers, homes are lost, and half the nation is relegated to paying higher prices, higher taxes, and suffer more regulation while the other half suffer through the failed social economic policies of Washington and this White House; and let them know also that America is not one who turns on her friends and embraces her enemies, bowing before heads of state of questionable character and even more questionable alliances, while treating others with contempt when they come and visit such as Obama did when the Prime Minister of Israel was at the White House earlier this year.
We must also send a clear message to Washington that this is a nation of laws, and highest of these is our Constitution, and that anyone who enters this nation illegally without the proper documentation will be returned to the land of their origin according to the laws of our land. That our children are free to wear shirts with Old Glory in their schools, and not be sent home, while others who bring the flags of foreign nations to our schools are protected. These are the United States of America, and we welcome all who come to it, but we do not take kindly to those who come here illegally, break our laws, and then have the nerve to fly their flags in our schools.
A just nation is ruled by law, not by the whims of self-serving politicians pandering to one group over another. And just leaders are public servants of those who elected them to represent them, for whom they have sworn an oath to protect under our Constitution from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. Statesmen are not those who represent vested interests, but those who know and follow the strictures of our national Constitution and to those ends, craft their legislation accordingly, not in spite of it, but because of it, knowing full well the limits placed upon them by it, careful not to exceed their authority as this congress has repeatedly done in recent years.
Being adept at reading a teleprompter speeches written for him by others, and running campaigns across this country do not make anyone a leader, or an icon which is what a network of countless well organized and well funded organizations along with the news media have made Barack Obama to be. The public should realize by now that a good public speaker doesn’t a good leader make. Because someone is good at public speaking and looks good behind a camera doesn't mean that he or she will be a good leader. Good public speaking doesn't necessarilly translate into good statemanship or effective policy. The nation is discovering that right now.
In the decade of the 90s, the public chose image and good public speaking over experience and service and the nation got scandal. In the 2008 presidential election, the public chose image again, and they've come away with incompetence; they chose change and got revolution; they voted for ice cream and instead are now left starving with the bill.

IMMIGRATION REFORM - WHAT TO EXPECT
The following is from a CBS Poll taken of President Obama’s overall performance for the last year and a half.
Obama gets an F from 67.6% of those polled for his handling of the economy. On healthcare, 59.68% give him an F, while 21.66% give him a D. On Afhanistan he gets an F from 78.67. On Iraq, Obama gets a C from 25.96%, a D from 22.84%, and an F from 31.93%. On the threat of terrorism, Obama gets a C from 24.59%, a D from 23.77%, and an F from 35.96% of those polled. On Energy and the Environment, while 21.03% give Obama a D, 55.04% give him a D for his performance. On Social Issues he gets a clear F from 58.84% of those polled, while 18.95%% give him a D. On Bipartisanship, Obama gets a clear F from 78.20% of those polled. Overall Obama gets a failing grade from 63.76% of those polled. These are worst numbers than those President George W. Bush had late in his last year as president. Obama is losing support.
He is not doing very well. In fact, he’s doing awful. And this poll was taken by a news channel known for its support of the president and his policies. Not good. This is why he is campaigning in high gear, and has called upon his core constituency of blacks and latinos to do the same on his behalf as they did in 2008. One very big problem for him is that he’s lost as much popularity among Hispanic groups as he has with all of the others, even among some blacks who originally supported him, but now do not agree with his radical agenda, while remaining liberal. This is why he and his party are pushing for immigration reform, because they wish to use it to create an almost instant voting block for the 2012 elections, when he will be running for reelection. The so-called immigration reform will grant illegal/undocumented aliens instant legal resident status by granting them amnesty when they turn themselves in for processing, and will allow them to become American Citizens before November, 2012, so they can be registered as Democrats and vote in that year’s elections. The DNC expects to get more than fourteen million additional votes nationwide with this measure, and the large trade unions expect to have their ranks swelled with new laborers as well. This is why the SEIU and others have been at the forefront of granting illegal legal status and voting rights.
If taken, these measures will effectively change almost every law on the books in this country and irreversibly transform the United States, creating a political revolution in the process without firing shot. This is what Barack Obama and the current Democratic Party leadership want. It is not because they have an ounce of care for illegal/undocumented aliens in this country, but because they expect that by supporting such measures, they will blunt the tide of public opinion against them by creating a new voting block out of the fourteen million mostly Mexican illegals already in this country. This isn’t reform. It’s revolution. And it’s politics of the most corrupt kind. It must be opposed, and it must be stopped by the American people – White, Black, Yellow, Red, all – who love and adhere to the laws of this land, and who revere the highest law of the land; our Constitution, which these politicians have been eroding piece by piece every year with repeated legislation and policies they have enacted.
Immigration reform, like all of the other so-called reforms Obama and his supporters have made into law is nothing but a sham. Communists, Socialists, and radicals use the word reform whenever they wish to change the law of the land to one which empower them further, provide a sure source of support from their political base, and enrich themselves at others’ expense. In the process they create enmity, strife, jealousy, and envy among the population in order to garner the support they need to speed their agenda through in as quickly a time as possible, before the people even know what hit them. This is why for the past year Obama and elected officials from his party and the news media have promoted so-called quick remedies for one crisis to another, and with each successive “reform,” the problems they claimed would be resolved by their implementation, only worsened the problem rather than alleviate it, or cause it to go away. It has had the contrary affect. The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is rotten to the core.
This is the reason, one of many, that so many Democrats have lost races where their machinery once held all but unquestionable hold on the body politic in regions long lost to Republicans or Independents, and the reason so many veteran Democrats are not seeking reelection, but are retiring, while others with the courage have actually switched parties. Some like long time Republican-turned-Democrat Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania is not expected to win against either Democrat or Republican candidate later this year, even though Obama has given him his support, and those whom Obama has come out to campaign for have lost their respective elections. The dream candidate from Illinois is but a fading shadow as more and more Americans have discovered that he is nothing more than a junior senator with no foreign policy experience, no business experience, precious little political experience outside of his district – he had only served months as a U.S. Senator in Washington before he abandoned his seat to run for the White House – and as more and more of his true nature has come to light, the enthusiasm he once commanded has been on a steep downward spiral amongst all but the most ardent followings of supporters he has had. Blacks still support him in high numbers, but the nature of this support is on racial and emotional levels, not because of policies. When this occurs, there is little enthusiasm at the ballot box, not enough to get a person reelected. This is why Obama and elected officials of his party and the unions that have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars of bailout federal support, have all been campaigning to get illegal/undocumented aliens legal status and voting rights. Keep a close watch for this, and listen to how they’re going to present it, but remember what lies at the core of their rhetoric. You read it here first.

Immigration reform, like all of the other so-called reforms Obama and his supporters have made into law is nothing but a sham. Communists, Socialists, and radicals use the word reform whenever they wish to change the law of the land to one which empower them further, provide a sure source of support from their political base, and enrich themselves at others’ expense. In the process they create enmity, strife, jealousy, and envy among the population in order to garner the support they need to speed their agenda through in as quickly a time as possible, before the people even know what hit them. This is why for the past year Obama and elected officials from his party and the news media have promoted so-called quick remedies for one crisis to another, and with each successive “reform,” the problems they claimed would be resolved by their implementation, only worsened the problem rather than alleviate it, or cause it to go away. It has had the contrary affect. The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding is rotten to the core.
This is the reason, one of many, that so many Democrats have lost races where their machinery once held all but unquestionable hold on the body politic in regions long lost to Republicans or Independents, and the reason so many veteran Democrats are not seeking reelection, but are retiring, while others with the courage have actually switched parties. Some like long time Republican-turned-Democrat Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania is not expected to win against either Democrat or Republican candidate later this year, even though Obama has given him his support, and those whom Obama has come out to campaign for have lost their respective elections. The dream candidate from Illinois is but a fading shadow as more and more Americans have discovered that he is nothing more than a junior senator with no foreign policy experience, no business experience, precious little political experience outside of his district – he had only served months as a U.S. Senator in Washington before he abandoned his seat to run for the White House – and as more and more of his true nature has come to light, the enthusiasm he once commanded has been on a steep downward spiral amongst all but the most ardent followings of supporters he has had. Blacks still support him in high numbers, but the nature of this support is on racial and emotional levels, not because of policies. When this occurs, there is little enthusiasm at the ballot box, not enough to get a person reelected. This is why Obama and elected officials of his party and the unions that have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars of bailout federal support, have all been campaigning to get illegal/undocumented aliens legal status and voting rights. Keep a close watch for this, and listen to how they’re going to present it, but remember what lies at the core of their rhetoric. You read it here first.

OBAMA'S ACE UP HIS SLEEVE FOR NOVEMBER, ILLEGAL-UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRATION
Seeing his poll numbers drop precipitously the last couple of months because of the extreme radicalism of his domestic and foreign policies, Obama is now poised to use the heated illegal/undocumented immigration issue to gin up the already high emotions of Hispanics and other foreign nationals living legally in the U.S., and his party – the Democratic Party – seeing a large voting block – is doing everything it can to garner support for illegals by pandering to this Hispanic Community, believing it to be monolithic on this issue, which it is not, though a vast majority do support illegal/undocumented aliens to live in this country. The DNC, headed by this Chief Executive, will attempt to push comprehensive immigration reform through the House and the Senate. Those in the know understand that this is only just a euphemism for declaring the more than fourteen million illegal/undocumented aliens living the United States overnight (three or four months) legal residents with rights to become American citizens by September or October of this year. Seeing the looming elections in November and the historically proportional losses of both houses, the Democrats are going to attempt to change the laws again to favor them. They believe that the Hispanic vote will balance the tide, and lessen the losses this November at the polls.
That this is a well organized, well funded, and well executed movement is evident by the fact that about twenty so-called Hispanic organizations, and unions like the SEIU, and others are at the forefront of these manifestations and protests. Some of the protests have been violent with protestors throwing bottles and rocks at police at various locations, but the media has all but ignored this. Interesting contrast to the manner in which the alphabet soup channels, CNN, MSNBC, and others reported when the TEA Party held their demonstrations some months ago.
What must be asked is this, why are twenty Hispanic groups protesting American immigration law, and particularly the law that was passed in Arizona, and not the fact that millions of illegal/undocumented people cross our borders every year without the federal government doing a single thing about it? And where were all of these groups when Cubans fleeing Castro’s imprisoned island were sent back without due process because they didn’t make it to these shores? Where? Who protested that policy? Where was Arena? Where was Lulac? Where were the Mexican Americans in solidarity? And the other communities? It’s a farce concocted by the pro-DNC radical groups (twenty of them) masquerading as Hispanic/Latino movements doing the bidding of the Democratic Left of this Chief Executive. Millions of Hispanics have become disappointed in this Chief Executive and also see his policies for what they are – power grabs which will cost them their paycheck, their jobs, increase their taxes, further impoverish them with higher costs for goods and services as companies will be forced once again to pass the increased costs of their overhead on to the consumer, as government continues to make it unprofitable to have a business, much less hire anyone to come to work for them. This is what Hispanics, along with every other ethnic group have been seeing, and this is why this Chief Executive has lost the magic he had over them when he first came to office. Reality bites even with the press and the president and his allies telling you every day that things are looking up. They might be looking up for them and for Wall Street, but go tell that to the average laid off laborer and the long term unemployed who have been cast to the side, as “more pressing matters” like immigration reform and “economic reform” take center stage.
The Democratic Party and this Chief Executive will do everything they can from now until November to campaign and campaign and campaign until they can blunt the affects of their own doing at the ballot box. And if appearing once again to be for the “minorities” will help them at the elections, they’ll sell themselves like prostitutes to whatever cause will get them enough to hold on to some of the power they now enjoy and have enjoyed for the past twelve months. For them the party is above the nation and this is why vote as they do; they do it for the sake of the party. When one or more of them is compelled not to seek reelection because he or she disagrees with the ideological direction their party is headed, instead of coming out publicly and saying it, they instead make general and innocuous statements that the political process is broken in Washington, and that partisan rankling is at an all time high, and they move on. It is rare when one sees them change parties, or even tell it like it is; that since the Clintons and their network of supporters came to Washington, they brought with them Arkansas type “good ole guy” political cronyism with them, and this current Chief Executive is no different. He’s brought with the more corrupt Chicago style machinery to Foggy Bottom, and the way they do things “up there.” In writing to an advocate of illegal/undocumented immigration recently, I pressed the issue as follows:
Any person who is destitute should NOT be cast aside. In fact, I believe I wrote that to do such a thing would be inhuman. Be that as it may, it would be interesting to see what each country does with people like these who enter their borders. It is my understanding from speaking with some Guatemalan friends of mine that Mexico for example is extremely harsh on them and others who cross the border. We are a nation of laws, and as such we must all obey them. Until such a time as such laws are changed, they must be upheld, otherwise anarchy will ensue. You know that as much as I do.
Laws are crafted to protect rights which are given to all human beings by G-d. Due process laws with regards to immigration in America gives every immigrant the right to appeal a decision they may consider unjust provided that they may present the evidence to support their case, as in those in the past who’ve sought asylum in the US from Communist and Fascist regimes. I recall a case of a Russian boy, I believe his name was Walter Polovchak, who brought his case before the U.S. government because the Soviet Union wanted his return, and he won asylum in the U.S.
. Again, it would be inhuman to turn anyone back to a life of destitution and slavery if indeed that is what that person would be returning to if sent back to their place of origin. And as for seeing myself in the need of people like this, I’ll remind you that countless numbers of Cubans, like my family saw themselves just like this when they fled Castro’s Cuba. It was because of their plight that so many of them were given at one time asylum, that is until the Clinton Administration changed the laws and immigration policies regarding Cuban refugees fleeing Castro. Subsequent administrations have continued this feet wet/feet dry policy, and the Coast Guard exists almost exclusively to keep fleeing Cubans from reaching these shores.
I don’t know of what you refer to when you write that these people (or perhaps those who claim to advocate their cause, like LA RAZA and others) are ready to fight to become a part of this country, and as for being a part of this country being a right, you are wrong; it is not a right, it is a privilege. Everyone who comes to these shores has a right to redress the government for their grievances, but not everyone has a right to stay. I think that you would agree with me that the United States does not need the criminals of other lands to come here to continue in their criminal activities, just as we would not want to them to go anywhere to perpetuate in their criminal enterprises. But for those who wish to come here, let them do so legally, and within the system, apply for residence status, followed by citizenship should they be so inclined. There is no wrong in saying this. This is the law of the land. And as guests of this nation, they above all others should respect these laws, just as its citizens are required to do.
There are many reasons why people come to America, and every story is unique unto itself. Every story should be considered under the law, and every person coming here should be given the right to do so, and they do. Again, there is no wrong in this. It is the way things work. Every case should be handled in an orderly manner, and every help and support should be forthcoming to those in need of such help by the various private charities which traditionally have worked in this regard. This is why Catholic Charities, World Vision International, Operation Blessing, and many others are so important, and so worthy of support by those calling themselves Christians or just humanitarians. My house of worship has such a program and collections and gifts are taken weekly just for this cause.
We are a nation of laws and a nation of compassionate laws at that. We are a nation of legal justice and not social justice. Legal justice is predicated upon the rule of law, whereas social justice is predicated on emotion and mob rule without any guarantee that the rights of the individual will not be abridged.
. Look, it comes down to this; any Chief Executive or any political party who can get it so wrong with regards to the right of Jews being able to settle in their own land, and even build their homes in it, will also be on the wrong side of almost every other issue this nation and its allies face. The best thing anyone here can do is vote on election night for the right people and get these people out of the White House and out of congress once and for all.________________________________________

OBAMA'S REFORM IS NOTHING BUT COMMUNIST NEWSPEAK
For several weeks now I’ve kept from myself from forming an opinion about the president’s first State of the Union Address which he gave earlier this year, and the various controversies surrounding his policies on terrorism, and other agendas of his, including his new approach to hold America hostage by pledging that under his presidency the United States would not strike with its nuclear arsenal even if attacked by nuclear or biological weapons – incredible policies his administration has made their priority since he’s entered office, the so-called Health Care Reform. I have listened to all arguments – those coming from people sympathetic and allied to this president and his policies, and those from his critics who oppose some or all of these policies for various reasons. These opinions have varied from those who believe this president can do no wrong, make no mistakes, and is taking this nation on the correct course, to those who firmly believe that he is taking this nation on a trajectory to disaster in every area of his public policies with regards to every single agenda which he has chosen to promote as his own. There are those also who while they disagree with some, and perhaps most of his policies, do see some room for supporting some of his policies, yet they disagree with him on how he is going about doing it. And there are others who simply fundamentally disagree with him on ideological grounds because they see him as a dangerous Marxist with an agenda to fundamentally change the nation into a Socialist Paradise at the cost of the Constitution of the United States, in violation of the separation of powers as established by that Constitution. I have listened to all of the above. Some have presented extremely cogent points of view, presented and argued brilliantly, while others have simply given barely a reason why they continue to articulate such an opinion in the face of current events. Now it’s my turn.
The truth is that this country has never before been beset by such a collection of ignorant and self-serving individuals, many of whom are no better than common criminals, but except for the fact of station and they having been elected and entrusted to their place, have by every means possible, betrayed the trust of those who elected them, and have added to their activities, legislation which has not improved the standard of living of their constituents, or protected their interests. America is today where it is because of these politicians, and the American public, who for a long time was fast asleep has awakened. It appears at the time of this writing that some of the politicians have begun also to awaken, especially in light of the gubernatorial elections held in New Jersey and Virginia, where conservative Republicans won over their more liberal Democrat rivals, and in the Senatorial election held in Massachusetts for the 40 year seat of the late Senator Edward Kennedy, where Republican Scott Brown defeated his Democrat rival in a Christen Gilibrand in what is considered a landslide of Republican, Independent, and Democrat voters who made their voices heard. All of these states having had repeated visits by Barack Obama before the elections in order to prop up the failing Democrats. The people have awakened, the Tea Party is making its voice heard throughout the country, and yet the White House and a good number of House and Senate Democrats ideologically allied to this president have not. Regardless of the will of the American people, this president and a the leaders of his party are hell bent to impose their will and their vision on the nation and its people regardless of information indicating that it will create more problems, cost more, and bankrupt the nation than other plans being proposed by Republicans and some moderate Democrats.
Jesus said, “Because lawlessness is increased, the hearts of many will grow cold.” It is true, there is great lawlessness in the land, and it is at the highest levels of this government. When the president of the United States, and people from his administration, including the Speaker of the House, and the head of the US Senate can use tax payer money to bribe members of the House of Representatives and the US Senate to vote a certain way, then we know that corruption and lawlessness has reached the highest levels of our government, and that we have literally become what we so often accuse other nations of being; corrupt banana republics. One elected official was recorded as saying nonchalantly Dem Chair: 'There Ain't No Rules Here ... We Make 'Em Up As We Go Along'... There is great corruption in the highest offices of our land, and it is interesting how we demand from our allies standards which the leaders we have do not themselves meet.
We see corruption in the White House, in the US Senate, in the halls of congress, kickbacks, big labor sweetheart deals with stimulus tax money, as well as ACORN kickbacks and fraud, front groups acting as multi-million dollar money laundering machineries for local politicians with the implicit knowledge of the leaders of congress and the White House; all sorts of corruption. We see local politicians like Andrew Cuomo, Charles Rangel of New York, Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, Barney Frank and others as the most corrupt politicians in our time. Almost every cabinet level appointee to the current administration have misfiled, or not paid income taxes amounting to tens of millions of dollars. If you or I do this, we would have our properties confiscated and we'd go to jail. They, of course, get reelected and their political machinery make sure they're friends are taken care of. There’s even talk of all things, a Charles Rangel Pavilion! Can you believe that?!
In the world of dirty politics one hand washes the other, both hands wash the face; but in their case; what they're using to wash is nothing but their own filth, and the more they hide, the more corrupt they become. In the process, the system gets more corrupt. Like Dorian Gray, some of them may look as good as their promoters and handlers in the media make them look, yet deep inside they are festering and foul. When called out on this, we see politicians making excuses for their behavior and closing ranks according to political party. It is disgraceful and it is dishonest, and disingenuous. The public trust has been betrayed, and they need to be exposed and brought out on it. There is no excuse for them to justify corruption because the person or persons in question are members of their own political party. No excuse at all, and when anyone sees this, they ought to call them out on it, and point out that if they excuse such behavior, they too put their own integrity and honesty into question.
As the size and power of the federal government grows beyond the limits of our Constitution and our civil liberties and freedoms as individuals diminish, the arm of the bureaucrat will become longer and longer and will reach as far as your local communities, and into your homes. By then, it will have been too late to undo the change. If you think it can’t happen here, look again at the sweeping “changes” that Obama and his radical-run Democrat Party has brought to your way of life in the past year since he came to office. Also ask the fleeing refugees of Viet Nam, Cuba, Russia, China, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and every imprisoned nation on this planet. And then, rethink the common and highly misleading belief that “it can’t happen here.” Well, it is happening, and unless the American people do something about it at the ballot box come this November and in 2012, we will cease to be the nation we once were long before Obama runs for reelection. Obama knows that if the American people rise up at the ballot box, he and his party will not have enough voters to keep him and them in power. This is why he is now trying to “reform” immigration. He believes that if he grants the sixteen to twenty million illegal (“undocumented”) aliens citizenship overnight, they will swell the ranks of the Democratic Party and he believes, help him get reelected for another four years.
Next time you hear the word reform, remember that this word has a different meaning to the Socialist than it does to the rest of US. In Socialist parlance “reform” is the imposition of transformational and sweeping Communist policies in place of free market policies by government. It has been used by every tyrant from Stalin, Hitler and Mao to Castro and Chavez in establishing police state fascist tactics on unsuspecting citizens’ rights of free speech, assembly, property, opinion, and religion.
We are already seeing such tactics in this country: Free Speech – liberal progressives in the media and in the White House (beginning with Obama) are criticizing critics who oppose Obama’s policies as seditionists and Anti-American; Assembly – the same are calling the large gatherings of American citizens across the nation, people comprising Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and Libertarians – at the T.E.A. Parties as dangerous racists and angry bigots; Property – Eminent Domain has stripped the rights of individual Americans from having their property confiscated by the local government without due process or just compensation, and has opened to the door to federal, state, and local invasion of homes by government entities when such entities deem it “in the public good; Opinion – setting the tone for the press and government, the president has personally taken on his critics by name and has even told the American people to stop their criticism of him; Religion – it is a crime for the Gospel to be preached from pulpits when its contents address the twin taboo topics of Islam and/or deviant lifestyles such as homosexuality and lesbianism.
When ideology trumps reasoned and seasoned leadership, what results is nothing short of chaos; chaos on so many levels that it renders the person or persons who make them unable to understand the consequences of their well meaning but highly misguided policy decisions. Lives are ruined and destroyed by such decisions. Nations fall by such decisions. When the voice of a nation is muzzled under the guise of “tolerance” and uniform complacency, what some progressives call avoiding to be disagreeable, then the people of that nation have lost their liberty. That nation is no longer a free nation, and its citizens have ceded their rights and liberties, even their fortunes to political machinery that runs its government. The United States of America stands at the precipice of this type of change. This is the change that Obama and his political party promised they would bring, and this is the promise they intend to keep if the American people allow them to. It is now up to US to acquiesce or to fight back by campaigning against them and throwing them out of office for good when the time for US comes to cast our vote.
The truth is that this country has never before been beset by such a collection of ignorant and self-serving individuals, many of whom are no better than common criminals, but except for the fact of station and they having been elected and entrusted to their place, have by every means possible, betrayed the trust of those who elected them, and have added to their activities, legislation which has not improved the standard of living of their constituents, or protected their interests.

It has been used by every tyrant from Stalin, Hitler and Mao to Castro and Chavez in establishing police state fascist tactics on unsuspecting citizens’ rights of free speech, assembly, property, opinion, and religion.
We are already seeing such tactics in this country: Free Speech – liberal progressives in the media and in the White House (beginning with Obama) are criticizing critics who oppose Obama’s policies as seditionists and Anti-American; Assembly – the same are calling the large gatherings of American citizens across the nation, people comprising Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and Libertarians – at the T.E.A. Parties as dangerous racists and angry bigots; Property – Eminent Domain has stripped the rights of individual Americans from having their property confiscated by the local government without due process or just compensation, and has opened to the door to federal, state, and local invasion of homes by government entities when such entities deem it “in the public good; Opinion – setting the tone for the press and government, the president has personally taken on his critics by name and has even told the American people to stop their criticism of him; Religion – it is a crime for the Gospel to be preached from pulpits when its contents address the twin taboo topics of Islam and/or deviant lifestyles such as homosexuality and lesbianism.
When ideology trumps reasoned and seasoned leadership, what results is nothing short of chaos; chaos on so many levels that it renders the person or persons who make them unable to understand the consequences of their well meaning but highly misguided policy decisions. Lives are ruined and destroyed by such decisions. Nations fall by such decisions. When the voice of a nation is muzzled under the guise of “tolerance” and uniform complacency, what some progressives call avoiding to be disagreeable, then the people of that nation have lost their liberty. That nation is no longer a free nation, and its citizens have ceded their rights and liberties, even their fortunes to political machinery that runs its government. The United States of America stands at the precipice of this type of change. This is the change that Obama and his political party promised they would bring, and this is the promise they intend to keep if the American people allow them to. It is now up to US to acquiesce or to fight back by campaigning against them and throwing them out of office for good when the time for US comes to cast our vote.

FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE, YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!
I never believed that I would ever see the day when a sitting United States president would behave and make the public statements about Israel this man has made. Indeed, I am shocked and saddened that Mr. Obama intends to balance the interests of this country with regards towards Israel with those of Israel’s enemies, as he continues to promote policies which are weakening America’s ties with its allies, emboldening America’s enemies overseas, and castigating old friends while making silly and unrealistic overtures of peace and rapprochement to regimes and individuals who have no intention of reciprocating his gestures in kind.
I warned everyone about the junior senator’s lack of foreign policy experience, about his radical past and activities and associations. I warned about Obama’s association and mentoring by radical Anti-Semitic Hamas supporter, Professor Rashid Khalidi and how this relationship and Khalidi’s influence would define Obama’s Middle East policy; I warned about his bold stance on abortion, even being the sole pro-abortion Democrat in US history to vote against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act – a law that would have prevented late term abortions of live babies – his promotion of anti-family deviant organizations such as NAMBLA (National Man-Boy Love Association) – an organization of homosexual pedophiles – and his Marxist proclivities of wealth redistribution, high taxation of wages and funds, government taxation of the coal industry which he promised in an interview that he would use to bankrupt the coal energy industry in the United States; I warned that he would attempt the nationalization of key sectors of the auto industry; I also warned that he would grant immediate amnesty and citizenship without due process to sixteen to twenty-two million illegally undocumented aliens in order to swell the ranks of his political party; I warned that he would create a separate government of 32 bureaucrats - his creation of a czar system of unelected federal regulators beholden only to him; I warned of his intention to create a civilian militia to rival the armed forces of the United States; I warned that he would attempt to nationalize the medical insurance industry, even making (just as he has done) the bold move to cut deep into Medicare and Medicaid, and Social Security – a move that would punish the elderly and poor, and would add to the costs of medicine and medical treatment in the US, and greatly diminish the medical industry’s world famous quality and care; and I also warned about various other policy measures; all of which would prove to be the death knell of America’s free enterprise system.
Now Mr. Obama has made the incredible public statement, and is moving the United States to an adversarial stance as regards the interests of the nation and people of Israel. Understand this, if Israel is hurt in any way by this, and I am of the opinion that whatever doesn’t help Israel, hurts Israel; if Israel’s population is hurt by this, make no mistake about it, so will the Palestinians and Arab Israelis living in the land. What you do to one, you do to the other, so don’t tell me that you’re “balancing” anything. This talk of balancing is nothing more than the famous Obama Newspeak, and we see once more the oft-used Orwellian Obama using a form of newspeak which is nothing more than the old code speak of support for Israel’s enemies. Don’t be fooled by this politician. Obama is not a man who leads, he is a man who campaigns, and allows others to take the fall for his misguided poor judgment.
Historical or not, this is one politician who must be voted out of office in 2012. I fear for the nation and the damage that he will do between now and then. He realizes that a very large part of the voting public is catching on to his plans to “fundamentally change this country and how it conducts business,” recognizing it for what it is – a bold Marxist affront to the institutions and industries that have fueled the engine of economic progress for the last two hundred years. An assault on the very essence of the free enterprise system, and on the liberties of the American people. The very concept of penalizing with fines and taxation someone for choosing not to purchase a good or a service – a prerogative every free society has considered one of the key elements that defines liberty – something so alien, so intrusive, so far removed from the very concepts enshrined in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, indeed in every law of this great nation; that the shock such an act has yet to fully register in the minds of a good many Americans.
Like many of US standing in shocked disbelief of what we saw on the edge of the Palisades and looking across towards Manhattan on Tuesday, September 11th, 2001, to the gaping hole and rubbish heap full of billowing dark smoke rising to the skies of that day and many days hence, where the mighty Twin Towers once stood; we also now are shocked in disbelief that this junior senator and his political party have enacted into law a piece of legislation that has fundamentally altered the very freedom of choice we so clearly took for granted, and in one day, have struck at the very heart of our liberty, as he and they intend to continue to do in the coming months until such a time that the American people vote every single of them out of office, and consign this young Communist to a single term. Barack Hussein Obama must not be reelected. In fact, he and others of like mind and ideology in his party must never again be elected to public office in any capacity if the nation is to be saved and spared any more damage than what has already occurred. Anyone saying to forget the Constitution “we make the laws as we go along,” must never again be trusted to hold any office of any kind, because to do so abrogates the oath they claim to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Anyone who would make their own laws and dissolve the boundaries of our national Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and the principle of the rule of law upon which our representative republic was founded is not fit to hold public office, and has betrayed the trust of the American people. This is the legacy of Barack Hussein Obama and the so-called “progressive” “new Democrats” who now control the Democratic Party and the national, regional, and local machineries which do its bidding. These are not Democrats, these are Marxist and Socialist ideologues working to fundamentally transform every level American society, jurisprudence, industry, and politics. Change you can believe in? You better believe it, and if you don’t do something about in November, and in 2012, we will be finished.
