More Tea Party Protests

"The symbols of revolution were on full display. There was the famous Colonial flag with a coiled rattlesnake and the words "Don't Tread on Me." Another early American flag showed 13 stars arranged in a circle.
And then there were the tea bags hung from the brims of people's hats and ears." [link]

Quite a lot of protests for such a short time in office for Mr. Obama don't you think? And let's not forget the fact that this is not just coming from "conservatives", but also from quite a few of Mr. Obama's previous supporters. Been paying attention to Jim Cramer lately? Looks like Obama is doing exactly as H.L. Mencken said politicians would. "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

They Don't Care

"As I've noted before, on the official White House website President Obama states he "support[s] making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent" despite the fact that such firearms are used in less than 1% of all crimes. The very fact that there have not been mass shootings using these guns after the ban expired proves it." [link]


You know the gun grabber's really have to hate this statistic. Of course they were never one's to let the actual facts of the matter get in their way. Hell if they will run rough shod over the Constitution what won't they do?

Amendment On Guns Divides Residents

"The D.C. vote bill has divided residents of a city that voices an age-old grievance in a slogan at the bottom of automobile license plates: "Taxation Without Representation." At the moment, a Senate bill that would grant that vote contains an amendment that would strip the city of much of its power to regulate firearms. Should the city give up its gun control authority for a meaningful voice in Congress? ...with the amendment that would do away with D.C. gun control law and severely limit the city's authority to pass new firearms restrictions..." [link] (entirety of text is exact, all I did was bold certain words)

Notice all the words in bold? Don't they just jump out now and grab your attention? You need to learn how to strip away the BS from 95% of what you see, hear, and read, and you will eventually come to understand the truth of it all. The government is all about power, regulations, control, restrictions, and authority. There is no longer any "We the People" anymore!

Quote for the Day

"For those who are in sovereign control of arms are in a sovereign position to decide whether the constitution is to continue or not." -- Aristotle, The Politics

Don’t Be Fooled, Obama Plans to Raise Everyone’s Taxes

"...Obama White House officials, declaring that President Obama:

…is extremely committed to entitlement reform and is plotting politically feasible ways to reduce Social Security as well as health spending. The White House folks didn’t say this, but I got the impression they’d be willing to raise taxes on the bottom 95 percent of earners as part of an overall package.” [emphasis added]

There you have it: We already knew that Obama wants to raise taxes, substantially, on the top 5 percent of earners. And now we know that he and his people want to raise taxes on 100 percent of us." [link]

Well, not much we can add here other than: "I TOLD YOU SO!"

Analysis: Obama Recovery Plans Sowing Some Unease

"...some economists and lawmakers are beginning to question whether Obama's agenda of increased government activism is helping, or hurting, by sowing uncertainty among businesses, investors and consumers that could prolong the recession.

Although the administration likes to say it "inherited" the recession and trillion-dollar deficits, the economic wreckage has worsened on Obama's still-young watch.

Every day, the economy is becoming more and more an Obama economy." [link]

Does anyone think it might be caused by the doom and gloom spread by Obama and his administration? By his proposed "fixes"? By the "fixes" he has already ramrodded through?

In my opinion this is a man that wanted the presidency, got there, and now has no clue as to how to truly fix anything, so what does he do? He pulls out the liberal playbook, which by those of you who don't really know was written by a man named Norman Thomas. Do some research on him and you will find out that he so scared the democratic party, that they adopted a majority of his proposed policies.

Obama: Crisis is Time of `Great Opportunity'

"On the last point, Obama has set a goal of signing a bill this year that would fix the U.S. health care system, which is the costliest in the world and leaves an estimated 48 million people uninsured, plus many others lacking adequate coverage...Our ideas and opinions about how to achieve this reform will vary, but our goal must be the same: quality, affordable health care for every American that no longer overwhelms the budgets of families, businesses and our government," Obama said." [link]

You know, it's funny, I didn't realize that the U.S. health care system was broken. Isn't that usually the only time you "fix" something. Of course it might not be the costliest in the world if not for government regulations, making physicians provide services whether someone can afford it or not, and the government regulations on insurance (both on physicians, and insurers).

Another reason our health care system might cost so much is physicians aren't allowed to participate in the free market. That is, they cannot advertise their prices and attempt to be competitive with others. Quite a few things that could be done to remedy this situation, but you can guarantee that the true remedy's for this problem won't be looked at, in fact you can about guarantee the opposite will be rammed down our throats.

Democrats Have Not Taken Gun Control Off the Table

"So, Associated Press writer Jim Abrams ("Democrats Show Little Appetite for Gun Gontrol [sic]," News Chief, March 4) thinks we have nothing to fear from Obama-Pelosi-Reid on the gun-control front? Is he that stupid, or does he think we're that stupid? A look at the White House's own Web site reveals this. http://www.whitehouse.gov/agenda/urbanpolicy/

"As media-proclaimed constitutional law professor (actually, just a lecturer) Obama should know that the Second Amendment isn't about hunting or target shooting. It's about balance of power. The operative word in "gun control" is "control." Shortly after the election, an Obama spokesperson made reference to "ruling," not "governing." It's difficult to rule when the people are armed. Ask Adolph Hitler or Joe Stalin." [link]

You just gotta love it when someone comes out and says it point blank. There are starting to become more and more that are saying this daily and not just on gun rights issues. Keep your eyes open for ever more encroaching restrictions in all areas. Won't it be fun when the government gets access to your medical records? Wonder how much Teddy "Pour me another one" Kennedy would enjoy things right now if we had nationalized health care? Oh, but I forget, he is one of the elite that the rules don't apply to.

Deception at Core of Obama Plans

"Forget the pork. Forget the waste. Forget the 8,570 earmarks in a bill supported by a president who poses as the scourge of earmarks. Forget the "$2 trillion dollars in savings" that "we have already identified," $1.6 trillion of which President Obama's budget director later admits is the "savings" of not continuing the surge in Iraq until 2019...Obama's radically transformative economic plan, a rhetorical sleight of hand so smoothly offered that few noticed... "it is only by understanding how we arrived at this moment that we'll be able to lift ourselves out of this predicament," Obama has come to redeem us with his far-seeing program of universal, heavily nationalized health care; a cap-and-trade tax on energy; and a major federalization of education...the list of causes of the collapse of the financial system does not include the absence of universal health care, let alone of computerized medical records. Nor the absence of an industry-killing cap-and-trade carbon levy. Nor the lack of college graduates." [link]

Read enough yet, starting to get the idea...that we are headed down a radical socialist agenda the likes of which it might nearly be impossible to pull out of without major consequences. And quite a few Americans are now starting to see this. For example upon taking office Mr. Obama had an approval rating of 80% give or take a few points. Let's look at some polls now:

President Obama Job Approval

Poll	Date	Sample	Approve	Disapprove	Spread
RCP Average	02/25 - 03/04	--	61.3	28.0	+33.3
FOX News	03/03 - 03/04	900 RV	63	26	+37
Diageo/Hotline	02/28 - 03/02	803 RV	67	27	+40
Quinnipiac	02/25 - 03/02	2573 RV	59	25	+34
Gallup	02/27 - 03/01	1551 A	63	25	+38
Cook/RT Strategies	02/27 - 03/01	880 RV	57	28	+29
Rasmussen Reports	02/27 - 03/01	1500 LV	60	39	+21
NBC News/Wall St. Jrnl	02/26 - 03/01	1007 A	60	26	+34

Hmmmm around a 20% drop in just six weeks...How about looking at the direction we are headed as a country:

Direction of Country

Poll	Date	Right Direction	Wrong Track	Spread
RCP Average	02/19 - 03/02	35.8	56.0	-20.2
Diageo/Hotline	02/28 - 03/02	32	55	-23
NBC News/Wall St. Jrnl	02/26 - 03/01	41	44	-3
Daily Kos/R2000	02/23 - 02/26	39	58	-19
ABC News/Wash Post	02/19 - 02/22	31	67	-36

Looks like a quite a few believe we are headed in the wrong direction as well. But do you think Mr. Obama will listen to the ones who are truly supposed to run the country, "WE THE PEOPLE"? Very doubtful. Instead you can almost guarantee he will continue to push his ultra-radical agenda to the detriment of the nation.

Never Waste a Good Crisis...

"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told an audience on Friday "never waste a good crisis," as she highlighted the opportunity of rebuilding economies in a greener, less energy intensive model.

Highlighting Europe's unease the day after Russia warned that gas exports to the EU via Ukraine might be halted, she also condemned the use of energy as a political lever." [link]

Now let's stop and think about that bold part...is that enough time for it to sink in that this is exactly what Mr. Obama is doing. Trying to force expensive energy changes down our throats whether we want them or not and saying it is to help the economic crisis. Once again politicians using words and lies for political grandstanding. Throw 'em all out on their useless duffs I say.

"It is not the function of the government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error." -- Justice Robert H. Jackson

Did He Just Lie Again?

"Although the new president complained about $7.7 billion in earmarks in the bill, he is expected to sign it into law." [link]

Remember the "This Bill Does Not Have a Single Earmark in It" post?

Or "How About We Call You On It, Mr Obama!"?

Anyone else getting as tired of this as I am?

A Sad Day in Hew Hampshire

"To be sure, these legislators will forever be tagged with the fact that they have essentially violated their oath of office, which they took, and which states they will uphold the NH Constitution...In the past, taxpayers in NH have been witness to statements such as this one from Rep. Sandra Keans formerly a Republican and now and Democrat, where she asserts that it ‘isn’t her job’ to uphold the Constitution." [link]

Yep, Sovereignty was voted down along party lines in NH. Although there was nothing in the bill whatsoever that went against anything either in the U.S. or the NH constitution. In other words, those that voted for this reaffirmed what was already in both the NH and U.S. constitutions and those that voted against it effectively voted against what was in the U.S. and NH constitutions. Let that sink in for a little bit, and it will let you know what we are up against as we attempt to regain our lost liberty's and freedom's.

Especially make sure you listen to the link for Rep. Sandra Keans.

Going on Here as Well.

"I warn you this revolution means business," (Hope/Change you can believe in?) said Chavez, whose government has struggled with lower oil income and minor food shortages this year. The anti-U.S. president, who has nationalized swaths of the economy, is popular among the poor for pressuring companies to produce cheap goods and for government programs that provide subsidized food in city slums (give them food, lower their bills, take over the banks, the car industry, give us what we can afford). [link]

If you took out the names and some of the other give-away-who-I-am-info? If anyone would be able to tell the difference between this idiot and Obama?

Tester, Baucus Tell AG to Back Off on Gun Control

"Montana Senators Max Baucus and Jon Tester have a message for the Obama administration: they will oppose any gun restrictions the new administration may be considering. In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, the two Democrats said the Justice Department should enforce existing laws rather than propose additional laws they said could infringe on Second Amendment rights." [link]

You just gotta love when this happens. Preemptive strike by Democrat.

Democrats Pull D.C. Voting Rights Act

"The patently unconstitutional bill to give the District of Columbia a voting representative in the House of Representatives was pulled off the House calendar because -- according to one House Republican leadership source -- they feared that the so-called Blue Dog Democrats would not support it. The bill was patently unconstitutional because under Article 1, Section 2, only states have representatives, and D.C. isn’t a state." [link]

I am finally glad to see someone pick this up and run with it. Even though the rest of the article digresses away from this key issue that Congress tried to do something UN constitutional. Who would have ever believed that out of congress. We really need to start sending a louder message to Washington. Evidently our bullhorns are not big enough, our shouts are not loud enough, our protests not large enough. I hazard to guess that we can't be heard above the din of corruption. Look up your representatives vote on this one and send them a letter with a copy of Constitution attached and the following highlighted:

The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.

No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

If you notice it specifically specifies that representatives must be inhabitants of the state for which they are chosen from DC=not a state. Ask your representative if they even bothered to read what they were voting on and/or the U.S. Constitution.

Headlines That Pose a Danger to Your Keyboard and Monitor

"Obama sees $40 billion savings in spending reforms" [link]

"Geithner: Obama to fight international tax dodgers" [link] Insiders say those that are domestic and with cabinet level positions should be safe.

"Bernanke Says U.S. May Need to Expand Bank Rescue" [link] He later commented it is already too late he just wants more FRN's so he can personally invest in precious metals.

Well that's all I can take of this type of stuff today. I may try to keep this up for a little bit. A sense of humor is always a good thing to have.

Quote for the Day

"Man is attracted to weapons (not just guns, as they are a relatively recent invention), because the mere possession of them is the ultimate expression of individual power, personal responsibility, and the freedom to choose one's future." -- Gabe Suarez, 1998

Family Farms Are Losers In The Stimulus Pork Barrel

"...resident Obama's stimulus bill will be, on balance, a series of disincentives for family farms to run the risks of aggressive farming, because the stimulus bill unfavorably raises the risk / reward ratio...Moreover, farm families work long, hard hours all year long to build and to preserve their farms for future generations of their families. Reinstatement of punitive death taxes, as proposed in the President's budget, is a meaningful disincentive to all that hard work." [link]

Does it amaze you as much as it does me that the administration wants to hand certain people things (welfare type benefits) hand over fist, yet people that produce on their own, and for others keep getting penalized? What type of logic is this? If anyone can explain please do, I just cannot manage to get my head around this idea. I speak from experience on this as well. I grew up and still live in a small rural community and my family owned and ran a small farm. The government effectively punishes anyone who does this to try and make the least profit or supplement their income in any way by these means.

Handgun-control Measure Fails in N.J.

"The push to make New Jersey the fourth state with a one-handgun-per-month buying limit has stalled in the state Senate in the face of opposition from rural Democrats and a wall of Republicans...State Sens. Jennifer Beck (R., Monmouth) and Bill Baroni (R., Mercer), who supported the measure when it passed the Assembly in 2007, said they could not back the bill now because a June U.S. Supreme Court ruling reaffirming a constitutional right to own handguns might render the plan unenforceable." [link]

You know, I had to read that bit several times myself. On first reading I was thrilled that there were some people that stood up for 2nd amendment rights, but upon further reading that is not what we have at all. We have instead the usual political rangling. It would have been much better had it read '"and those that opposed the bill did so on Constitutional grounds based on the 2nd Amendment."
