Obama Calls Honduran President's Removal "Not Legal"

You know what? I'm not going to mince words. Obama is scaring the bejesus out of me. Seriously.

Aren't we supposed to be the bastion of democracy in the world? Are we not, still, Ronald Reagan's "shining city upon a hill"? Well, apparently, if Obama has anything to say about it, NO!

U.S. President Barack Obama

Let me recap, for you, what our President has called "not legal" in Honduras.

The President of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, recently tried to put an unconstitutional referendum on the ballot, which was an attempt at remaining in power past his democratically elected term. Honduras' constitution clearly states a one term limit for their Presidents. The reason this limit is in place is to try and keep the possibilities of a dictator taking control of the country.

Honduran President Manuel Zelaya

You have to remember, this is a country that has had problems with dictators in the past. So, to have this guy making a move towards trying to stay in power past his duly appointed term, raised red flags with their Supreme Court and other branches of the government.

The last straw was when he approached Romeo Vasquez Valasquez, the head of the Honduran military, with a request to back him up. When Valasquez refused to go against the constitution, Zelaya ousted him. It doesn't take much of a leap of common sense to assume Zelaya had plans on replacing him with a yes man. The Honduran Supreme Court, later the same day, re-installed Valasquez to his position.

Zelaya paid no mind to the Supreme Court and tried to go on with his plans for the referendum, which by now was deemed illegal by the Supreme Court, the Attorney General, the Congress and the country's top electoral body.

On June 27th, protesters began to march on the capital city in opposition to Zelaya. The Supreme Court, military and other governing bodies called for a cessation of the protests, amid fears of all out riots and fighting.

On June 28th, Zelaya was detained on orders of the Supreme Court and flown to Costa Rica in exile.

So, this is a basic recap of the situation in Honduras, as it stands. For a little more background on Zelaya, it must be noted, this is a man that has allied himself with Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. He also has made disparaging comments about the United States on several occasions. By his actions, statements and the company he keeps, Zelaya has shown which side of democracy he falls on.

The question is, what side of democracy does Obama fall on? Before you go thinking that is an outrageous question, I would beg you to judge a tree by it's fruit.

First, let's take Obama's own words into account. He stated that his mother was "the dominant figure in my formative years... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics."

That statement begs the question of what his mother's politics were all about. A look back into her life clearly shows statements, associations and leanings toward communism, socialism and Marxism. She never tried to hide her political beliefs which were extreme leftist.

So, if what she taught him continues to be his touchstone when it comes to politics, as he stated, that really explains everything he has done, thus far, while in office.

Next let's take a look at the people Obama associated himself with in Chicago. The biggest majority of them were openly anti-American socialists. Such "upstanding patriots" as William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Saul Mendelson, Louis Farrakhan, Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) among others in and out of Chicago.

We could go through them one at a time, but for time's sake let's just say they are a group including a domestic terrorist, anti-Americans, leftists and a group aimed at turning us into a socialist or communist nation. And these were Obama's closest associates in Chicago.

You may say who he associated himself with means absolutely nothing. You may say it doesn't necessarily mean he holds the same beliefs. You may even say his statement about his Marxist mother being his touchstone and his most dominant influence, doesn't convince you. Ok, let's say all of that overwhelming evidence didn't exist. Let's say all we had to go on was what he has done since he's been in office. What then?

Well, we've already pointed out his latest damning statement about the Honduran government and military's removal of their, Hugo Chavez loving, President Zelaya being "not legal". Yeah, ok, how dare a people rise up against a wanna be dictator and remove him from office. We Americans wouldn't know anything about rebelling against a ruler who was trying to oppress us, would we?

In the Gettysburg Address, President Abraham Lincoln said we should all, as Americans, dedicate ourselves so that a government "of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth."

Wake up America!!! Our nation was formed in such ways. Democracy should always be a government of the people, by the people and for the people. When you call a rebellion by the people against a ruler who was trying to change a country's constitution, "not legal", I and every other freedom loving human on the planet should sit up and take notice.

This is the same President who just recently would not give a word of support to protesters in Iran who are starved for a change in their oppressive government. He stepped it up a notch against Honduran protesters and called their actions "not legal".

Now let's move on to his plans of socializing our health care, government take overs of banks, auto manufacturers and any other private business it deems necessary for "the good of the people".

These are all things he has either already done, in his short time in office, or is trying to get done. This is a man who was reared on leftist thinking and is steeped in socialistic ideals.

I'm scared, and that's no joke. I'm terrified at what else he may be allowed to do with no check or balance in Congress to stop him from his socialist agenda.

I was not born into a socialist society and I do not want to live in a socialist society. I was born a free United States citizen and I would like it to stay that way.

Does it ever make you wonder why the left is so dead set against law abiding United States citizens owning guns? Do they worry that one day, when they flip the switch completely over to communism, the population will smell the socialist stinking coffee and rise up, as they have in Iran and Honduras, but with the weapons and ammunition to make a dent?

Just remember, our country was born out of armed citizen's rebelling against a government they felt was oppressive and did not agree with. So, when our president makes a public statement, such as he did by calling the ouster of an out of control leader, "not legal", that is a slap in the face to our ancestors who basically done the same exact thing.

Waxman-Markey Global Warming Bill

Well, they snuck it in while we wasn't looking. While the country was busy following the tragic news coming out of L.A. yesterday, the House of Representatives was busy passing the Global Warming Bill by 7 votes.

All we can hope for now is the Senate ripping this, wolf in sheep's clothing, bill to shreds. We all better keep our fingers crossed. Let's hope the Senate takes a bit more time to read the approx. 1,400 page bill. The House freely admitted, no one had read the bill completely. Kinda makes you wonder what kind of earmarks were snuck into the bill.

So, if passed by both the House and the Senate and signed into law by the President, what does it mean to you and I? Well, first thing it will do is pretty much force the coal industry out of business. That means all those coal miners and their families will be searching for new employment. I wonder what kind of rise in unemployment this will cause? I wonder how much more of a burden on the welfare system this will cause?

Next will be the rise in our utilities. Yes, there will be an increase in your utilities, so get ready for it. Electricity, water and natural gas prices are going to rise. This isn't a theory, it is a fact. Even the politicians supporting the bill freely admit to this. But, how much? Well, according to most estimates you should be looking at an approximate $1,200 - $1,400 increase per year.

Next is fuel prices. I have seen varying estimations on the rise it will cause in fuel prices. These estimates have ranged from a $1.50 - $5.00 per gallon increase. So, more or less, we could expect to see what happened last year to happen again, except this time to stay.

Starting in 2012 and going through 2035, our gross domestic product losses caused by this bill will average $491 billion per year. By 2035 the total GDP loss is expected to be $9.4 trillion. There's that T word again. Must be Obama's favorite letter or something.

These numbers do not even take into account what it will do to the rest of the economy as a whole. Remember, our economy is very much linked together. When one facet is affected by rising costs it will assuredly affect another.

So you can best bet when fuel and utilities go up, it will cause pretty much everything else to go up. Expect to be paying higher prices at the grocery stores, department stores, clothing stores, hardware stores, hair dressers, nail salons, athletic gyms, doctor's office, dentist office, convenient stores, your plumber, your roofer, your lawn guy, etc...etc...

Basically, everything will be going up if this bill, now passed by the House of Representatives yesterday, somehow passes through the Senate, as is, also.

Haven't we let Obama spend enough? I've never seen such backward thinking in Washington in all my years. Isn't it basic economics to know if you are in debt you have to conserve. Instead, Washington has decided to try and spend their way out of debt. That DOES NOT and CAN NOT work.

Being in debt is very much akin to being in slavery. I'm starting to get an eerie feeling that may be the whole point. Look what it has done to the Auto industry. They now are, basically, servants to the government. The government now has complete control over them. They are the governments slaves.

The states that have taken the government's stimulus money will be facing the same fate. Thank God, with all my state's (Louisiana) faults withstanding, we haven't accepted the stimulus. We have Bobby Jindal to thank for that.

My whole point to the slavery comment, though, is to ask a simple question. Just where are we getting all this money and who are we (United States) indebted to. Well, our biggest lenders have been China ($740 billion) and Japan ($635 billion).

Japan is an ally that would probably have patience with us. Do you think China would give us the same consideration? I have my doubts. So, what happens if they call in the debt? Well the quick simple answer is they can't. They are invested in treasury bills that do not all mature simultaneously.

That being said, they still have a vested interest in the way we handle our finances. If we are foolish with the way we spend and it drives our dollar down, then it also drives their investment down. How do you think they feel about that? I'm sure they're not happy with us right now. Matter of fact, they have said they are concerned and who can blame them. I'm concerned, too.

So, if they can't call in the debt we don't have anything to worry about with them, right? Well, no not exactly. If you don't think the U.S. foreign creditors hold sway over us, just think about your own situation. Does your creditors hold sway over you? Well of course they do. If they didn't you wouldn't get up and go to work every morning.

Essentially, we are slaves to our creditors. That statement goes for individuals as well as entire countries.

Anyhow, I got way off on a whole separate subject there. Well, not really, because it's all intertwined. This Global Warming bill just puts us further in debt and if we add up what Obama has already spent it's mind boggling. We're talking TRILLIONS people, not billions.

Ok, I'm stepping down off my soap box now. But, if you are as concerned as I am, call your Senator, write them or email them. Just make sure they know you're not happy with all this spending and you want it all stopped. And that includes this Global Warming Bill.

Now Performing At Your Local House Of Representatives...

As mortified and embarrassed as I am that this happened in my state's House of Representatives, I had to post this to show the complete lack of sense some of these politicians have.

Who in the hell would have ever approved this performance in a setting that is supposed to be dealing with serious issues of the state? Somebody needs to be fired. Pronto!!!

I was going to post the lyrics on here, but after giving them a once over, I've decided I don't want them on my blog. That's hilarious. I don't want them on my lowly blog, but my state wants them in our House of Representatives. How embarrassing.

I'm gonna start telling everybody I'm from my birth state (Illinois) if this kinda crap keeps up. Oh wait...Illinois produced Blago and Obama......Damn!!! I wonder if Alaska minds if I apply for honorary citizenship???

Here's the lyrics if you prefer to read them. But, be warned, they are fairly graphic.

The Global Warming Question

Yes, I said question, because the simple truth is, it's not a FACT. And, yes, I said "Global Warming", because despite the latest attempts at changing the moniker to "Climate Change", it was "Global Warming" which was the original cry of Armageddon.

You see, when the facts and trends was not proving out their theories, they had to change their game plan. So out they trotted a new slogan, "Climate Change". This slogan covered all their bases. If it was a hotter year than usual or a colder year than usual, they could still point and say, "See, we told you so.".

Please don't be fooled by these people. Most of them have a vested interest in selling the public on this scam called Global Warming or Climate Change or Environmental Awareness or whatever else they have used or will come up with in the future.

The simple fact of the matter is our planet runs in cyclical trends. Most scientists, who are either respectable enough or do not have some sort of vested interest otherwise, will tell you this.

The reason I'm going off on this today is because our tree-hugging former VP Al Gore is heading off to Washington today to try and convince lawmakers the sky is falling. He will try to tell them we are in dire straits and if we don't do something about it this year, we'll all be dead within the decade.

Scare tactics. If you want to rule a people, make them afraid of the consequences of you not being in power. That if not for you, they will lose everything, including life. You are their saviour. Only you can make the changes necessary to bring about their rescue from death and destruction.

It may be more credible if it weren't coming from hypocrites and profit mongers, such as, the Hollywood crew and our, growing ever stranger, former VP. This is a group who would tell you to walk as much as you can, take public transport when possible and, for the love of Mother Nature, never buy an SUV.

Hypocrites, all. Why you ask? Well, because in the meantime they are driving around in the biggest gas guzzlers known to man, using up the most electricity and water at their gigantic mansions and flying around the planet in their Lear jets. But, don't you dare buy that toilet that uses a half a gallon extra a flush than the more "environmentally friendly" one.

What of all the scientists that back it up, you say? Well, like Al Gore, who stands to profit multi-millions off new laws that would be passed, these scientists also stand to profit. Not necessarily in personal gain, but in research funding. That's what it's all about to them. If they can strike enough fear into the public to cause an outcry, then the politicians would be forced to open up the public coffers and fund away.

Please educate yourselves on this subject and don't just believe what you hear on television or in speeches from people who stand to profit. There are plenty of websites and articles on the internet to read on the question of global warming. I'll list a few at the bottom of this article, you can click on.

Obama the Fly Killer

I can't believe I'm writing on this subject, but here goes.

If you were anywhere near a television the past few days, you had to have seen the video clip, up above, of President Obama pulling his best Mr. Miyagi impression and killing a suicidal fly. Other than being extremely impressed with the President's lightning fast reflexes, it was no big deal, right? Well...

You see, Mr. Miyagi didn't actually kill the fly, he just caught it between the chopsticks and let it go. President Obama, on the other hand, did what 99.9% of the world's population would have done and summarily gave it an honorable death.

Therein lies the problem. You see, we have this out of control organization, which was originally formed with good intentions, called PETA. Most people know PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. However, after hearing of their statement condemning the President for his failure "...to act wisely and mercifully toward animals.", I believe PETA should stand for Practically Every Thought Assbackwards.

Seriously, can you believe when asked for their official statement on the matter, PETA actually said on their official blog, The PETA Files, "...human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act."? Wow!!! I'm dumbfounded by the insanity of some people in this country.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not for the total eradication of the common housefly. I'm sure they have their purpose on this earth, if not, God would not have put them here. However, a single, clearly aggravating, fly is very insignificant, in the scheme of things, when there are estimations of 10's of quadrillions on the planet. Yep, that's -illions with a Q.

What really peeves me about this story is the hypocrisy. PETA actually puts down thousands of pets every year, in the name of overpopulation. If -illions with a Q isn't overpopulation, I don't know what is. Besides, flies carry over a hundred different diseases, including tuberculosis, anthrax, typhoid, cholera, salmonella, and parasitic worms. Hell, as far as I'm concerned, it's the first thing Obama has done that I approve of.

People, like the Peta folk, are so concerned over 1 housefly out of the -illions with a Q. Yet, couldn't care less about, even, 1 solitary dollar out of the -illions with a T the President wants us to throw away on, the disaster waiting to happen that is, the Health Care Reform Bill.

Worse than this, is the fact that, many of these same people are the ones who argue so vehemently in support of aborting human babies. There are an estimated 1.3 - 1.4 million abortions per year in the United States alone. Have you heard, even, one of these wackos speak up for the right to live these children deserve? Yet, a common housefly deserves more consideration than a human being.

I said it earlier people, assbackwards. There are waaaaay too many people in this country who's thinking is completely discombobulated. Matter of fact, if you flip USA backwards, AS U can clearly see everything is bassackwards.

Hey Big Spender

I really need to preface this post by saying, I really didn't start this blog site with the intention of downing or beating up on our current President. And, I do not intend that to be the focus of future posts, but when there is relevant news that, in my opinion, puts President Obama in a bad light, I also will not shy away from it.

I just wanted to get that out of the way, in case anyone reading might have the false impression, from previous posts, that I'm just here to cast a negative portrayal of the current administration and it's policies. That being said, I would like to get to some huge news that broke this morning.

Anyone who followed last year's elections know that a big focus of the Obama campaign was on Health Care Reform. He made it well known his goal was to make sure every United States citizen had some form of health care coverage. While it's fine and dandy to say such things, you have to consider every aspect of what such a lofty goal would require.

Today's short-sightedness is a bane to our future as a country. And, it is my humble opinion, President Obama has been very short-sighted, indeed. So far, in his very short time in office, Mr. Obama has managed to outspend every single President before him put together.

That's correct, you heard me right. President Obama, in approximately the usual time it takes for most new Presidents to figure out where all the bathrooms in the White House are, has spent more money than every president, from George Washington to George W. Bush, all put together. That seems like an impossibility, but it is indeed the fact.

So, how does one top such a dubious distinction? Well, by spending even more money, of course. Which brings us to the subject of this post. Health Care Reform.

The news broke this morning of how much money it would take to implement President Obama's Health Care Reform Bill. This price tag was issued by a non-partisan committee that was formed to get down to the brass tax of such bills.

Are you ready for this? The price tag to implement Obama's bill is 1 trillion dollars. That's right, trillion with a big gigantic capital T. Do you people realize how much money we're talking about here? $1,000,000,000,000. That's a lot of zeros!!!

That number is so mind boggling, the U.K. and the U.S. cannot even agree on the true nature of how much it actually is. If you don't believe me, go check the dictionary and find out for yourselves. Some describe it as a billion millions, others as a million million millions. Either way, it's a whole hell of a lot of money.

Here's the kicker. That $1,000,000,000,000 we were just discussing will only take care of 1/3 of the American citizens. That's right, you heard me correctly again. That astronomical number will not even do the job. It will take another 2 trillion to cover the rest of the nation.

That's $3,000,000,000,000 to implement Obama's Health Care Reform Bill all together. Call me naive or stupid, but I have to ask one question. Who is going to pay for all this? We certainly can't pay for this today. As previously shown, Obama has already spent more than every other administration before him put together. So where do we get this money?

Unfortunately, if this plan is allowed to pass through Congress, it will be our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and so on and so on, who would bear this burden. Well, excuse me for not being selfish, but I'm not willing to bankrupt my descendants future just so some people living presently can have Health Care Coverage.

Before anyone reading goes saying "Well that's easy for you to say when you can afford health insurance.", I should tell you I, myself, do not have the privilege of being insured. Nor, does my wife. Self-employed health insurance is just too expensive for me to afford presently, and we seem, according to the government, to make just a bit too much to be covered by Medicaid. Thank God the government does cover our children, though.

The selfish person in me would love to see this bill passed, but the sensible and rational person in me knows it would be a total and complete disaster for this country in every way possible. Not only will it bankrupt future generations of Americans, but it also lends to downgraded quality of health care today. Just ask the people living in the U.K. and Canada and they will recount nightmare story after nightmare story of waiting periods for exams, medicines, tests and the such.

Lower pay and fees for practitioners and health care facilities have been targeted as a means to help pay for this "Reform". Well, just what do you think that is going to do to the health care profession? If the best and the brightest don't see a profitable future in the career of health care, they will move on to more secure and stable careers. This will lead to significant downgrades in quality care. This is a fact not a presumption. All we have to do is look at the precedent set in the U.K. and Canada.

So, I come to the end of this article and you may want to know what you can do about it one way or the other. I would suggest for you to pick up your phone, get out your pen and paper or log on to your government websites and let your Congressmen and Senators know we do not want to sacrifice our children's futures for our comforts today.

Great Retirement Plan

You gotta hand it to these Uighurs (pronounced WEE-gurs), they really know how to set up a life plan. Here is the Uighurs 7 step plan to retiring in style:

1. Rebel against your government.

2. Travel to Afghanistan and Pakistan to train at Al-Queda terrorist camps.

3. Get caught at camps by American soldiers.

4. Get sent off to Guantanamo Bay (huge upgrade over terrorist camp) for 3 squares a day and a secure place to lay your head.

5. Live a worry free 7 years at Gitmo, while waiting for silly Americans to elect a liberal into office.

6. Count on liberal to be, well, LIBERAL and release you and your pals.

7. Have the added bonus of new silly American president releasing you onto a tropical island paradise to live out your life in style.

These new photos were just released by the AP, which show the Uighurs living it up. In my last post I mentioned some of these Uighurs to you, who were being released onto the island of Palau. These guys may have one upped those guys, though.

These guys were released onto the vacation paradise of Bermuda. Gotta love the way the new administration deals with terrorists, don't ya? Great job Mr. Prez. Way to make us look like absolute fools to the rest of the world.

Here are the AP released photos of the Uighurs enjoying life on their new tropical island home:

"Thank you so much, Mr. Obama. Care to join me for a swim?"

"We've never had it so good. We have to thank the new American president for giving us the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful ice cream."

Miranda Rights for Terrorists???

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney present during questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights?"

Anyone who has ever watched a cop show, or had the misfortune of having them personally read to you, has heard these rights before. Most of us could probably recite them from memory very easily.

These are the Miranda Rights we , as citizens of the United States, have that protect us from self-incrimination. Our 5th amendment rights were fortified with the ruling of the Supreme Court in 1966, which instituted the reading of Miranda Rights to any U.S. citizen taken into custody.

Miranda Rights were nothing new, but were simply a re-statement of our 5th amendment rights.

Now that we have a very condensed history of Miranda Rights out of the way, we come to the reason I'm writing this article.

President Obama has ordered the FBI and the CIA to read any terrorist taken into custody, worldwide, Miranda Rights. What?!?!?!

Let me say that again. Our President has ordered the FBI and the CIA to read captured terrorists Miranda Rights. Even after typing it a 2nd time, I'm still at a loss.

First off, these terrorists are not U.S. citizens. They have no "right" to Miranda Rights under our law. How in the world does the President expect us to ever get any information out of these captured terrorists when first, our soldiers have had the ability to force coercion taken away, with water boarding (not torture) being banned, and now the President wants terrorists explicitly warned not to talk. RIDICULOUS!!!

I'm not quite sure what President Obama is up to when it comes to captured terrorists. First he sends these captured Chinese terrorists, who were being detained in Guantanamo Bay, to live on a beautiful tropical island called Palau, near the Philippines. And now, he's affording terrorists, caught on the field of battle, rights they have no "right" to.

If this wasn't such a sad commentary on the stupidity in Washington, it would be funny.

Hey, I have a solution for our homeless problem in America. Just have all the homeless people make terrorist threats, then they can be detained and sent off to live out their lives on a tropical island.

Please, please. I beg you. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!! And smell what BARACK is cooking.

When Are We Going To Learn?

North Korea would use nuclear weapons in a 'merciless offensive'<---------------CLICK HERE

This is what happens when the world sits around twiddling their thumbs, throwing sanction after useless sanction at a probable future nuclear threat. In the above article, North Korea, clearly states it's willingness to launch a nuclear attack.

The big problem I have here is the ineptitude of the rest of the world, including the U.S., which could have, and should, have prevented North Korea from ever gaining nuclear capabilities in the first place.

We don't live in a world, anymore, where you can just stand by and watch the enemy gather their troops on the battlefield and then go out and meet them mano e' mano. We live in a world where, if a country is nuclear armed, all they have to do is simply press a button and whole city populations are disintegrated.

This is the capability we have allowed the unstable North Koreans to acquire and this is the capability we are well on the way to allowing the equally unstable Iranians to acquire. If you do not think this is the case, and that the Iranians want nuclear technology just for energy purposes, I beg you to hearken back to the beginnings of the North Korean nuclear program.

Idle threats and hollow sanctions done absolutely nothing to stop the North Koreans from gaining nuclear weapons and neither will the exact same blueprint for disaster being used with the Iranians.

This all so easily could have been prevented if we had just had the courage and fortitude to deal with it in it's infancy. Now, instead of chastising a child we are dealing with a grown man.

So, when are we going to learn? It seems we haven't yet, because we continue the same erred policies. I hope it is not going to take a finger pressing down on a button, with the same force you would use to press your t.v.'s remote control, to teach us the virtues of preventative maintenance.

Slip Sliding Away

I was going to make this first commentary a general overview of my opinions on our current situations in the United States. However, I was surfing the web a little earlier and came across this article that explains it in much more eloquent terms than I ever could. 

Even if you are not into current events and the very thought of reading any such article puts you to sleep, please take the meager 5 to 10 minutes out of your life to give this a read. This was found in an online Russian news source called Pravda Ru.

American capitalism gone with a whimper

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise, that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Now I don't know about you, but I was left a bit speechless. I already knew all of this and had felt this way myself, but to hear it from a foreigner, and a Russian at that, was just a bit like a punch in the face.

It's scary when Russians can recognize us throwing away our liberties and freedoms when a good number of us red blooded Americans can't see it ourselves. 

This is not a Democrat vs. Republican issue. It is not a conservative vs. liberal issue. This is a FREEDOM issue. We are slowly but surely watching our individual liberties and freedoms wash away into what is beginning to become a swelling river of socialism. 

If we the people will not stand up and make our voices heard, this swelling river of socialism will overrun it's banks and flood out the very lifestyle that we, so ignorantly, have taken for granted.

Anyhow, I'll step off my soapbox now and apologize for the length of this post. I will try to make it a rare occasion that I actually post an entire article like I did above. I just really thought it needed to be read in it's entirety.

I'll be typing at ya later,
