Merry Christmas with a sad but inevitable message

Merry Christmas, all. I have not done much blogging in December due to personal, financial, and other things taking up my time, but I came across a particularly important quotation, yes, quotation, not quote (a verb), that can help us understand why I changed the name of the blog from "American can be fixed" to "American Can't be Fixed."

 

The author of this particularly poignant quotation is unknown, but his/her words are extremely timely and telling of the state that the USA finds itself:

 

"Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage."

One can clearly discover that the USA is now in the dependence stage after moving from selfishness to complacency and apathy. The US has all the telltale signs of moving back to the bondage stage as we become the nation of bail-outs dependent on its government for everything.

 

Thomas Jefferson also understood the problem when he stated:

 

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."

 

This quotation of President Jefferson is called "The End of Democracy" quotation. I believe that says it all. It's just sad that it took a Republican President (Bush-43) to begin this process under the guise of "preventing a financial meltdown" which they did not, and handed it over to a liberal White House and Congress which will continue it to where democracy becomes dependence and ultimately bondage or loss of freedom.

 

It may not happen tomorrow, but slowly over time, the erosion will take place. One day our children and grandchildren will wake up in a USA where personal freedoms are just memories of the recent past.

 

 

 

Bush-43 starts it and BHO will complete it.

Rule of law under the Bush Administration has hit a new low right before he leaves town with his mistakes and miscalculations. Bush-43 using funds allocated by the 110th Congress for other failed bail-out purposes to give GM and Chrysler over $17 Billion USD so he could ride out of town without the jeers of forcing the Big-3 into bankruptcies. This will probably be one of his biggest mistakes since it will only delay their failure, not prevent it. It is window dressing, pure and simple.

 

Now don't get me wrong, I think the one thing that the Bush-43 Administration can take credit for is the fact that we have gone over 7 years without a major attack on US soil. History may say that this achievement was enough, but I say that Bush-43 has been a failure in most other areas as a Republican or conservative.

 

Under his administration and the Republican Congress from 2001-2007, the government has grown considerably in both reach and size. The debt has exploded, and on his way out of town, Bush-43 has almost entirely turned the USA into a centrally planned socialistic leaning entity. Now if Bush-43 was going into his 2nd term this may be undone by Bush-43, but now that he is turning it over to a very liberal, socialistic leaning BHO, Bush-43 will have to take the hit that he started the turn towards socialism leaving the completion of this transformation to the BHO administration and SMDC Congress.

 

This final act of overriding the Congress in giving the Big-3 well the Big-2 since Ford opted out of the bail-out monies (more on this in another post) has put Bush-43 into a category all by himself. More than any other President before him, Bush-43 has moved the country towards a form of big government socialism. Even BHO may be hard pressed to beat what Bush-43 has accomplished under the guise of "saving the country" from a depression.

 

Governments through time have always used this deception of saving someone from something to gain and hold control over their citizens. If the government can do it slowly and covertly enough, the citizenry is lulled into a sense of security and wakes up too late to reverse the changes.

 

The perfect storm of a Republican administration setting up the principles of big government central control under the guise of saving us from another Great Depression, and then turning over these new powers to an overt liberal democratic government completes the hurricane scenario. The fault lies with the Bush-43 administration since conservative/Republicans are suppose to oppose such actions and power transfers. We know that liberal/Democrats want this, but could not have come up with a better way to implement such a power grab. It was handed to them on the proverbial silver plater by the Bush-43 administration.

 

Such a sad state of affairs for the once great USA.

 

US Government supporting Shariah Law via AIG

LOUC (law of unintended consequences) of the financial bail-out continues to spread through out the US economy with now it coming to light that your government, yes, the US Government, is funding and promoting Islamic Shariah law growth via an arm of the now US government owned AIG operation. The AIG's  Shariah Advisory Board that is now funded by 80% US taxpayer monies is an advisory board with members from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Pakistan.

 

According to AIG, the role of its Shariah authority “is to review [its] operations, supervise its development of Islamic products, and determine Shariah compliance of these products and [its] investments.”

 

Since Shariah law outlaws free speech, free press, etc., the AIG position puts it in direct confliction with the US Constitution. Accordingly, the Thomas More Law Center has filed a lawsuit against the US Treasury Secretary, Henry Paulson, and the Federal Reserve Bank to stop this abomination.

 

According to the lawsuit, use of taxpayer funds to acquire ownership of a business that intentionally promotes, endorses, supports, and funds Shariah-based Islamic religious practices violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

 

Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, commented, “This lawsuit not only raises significant constitutional issues, it also shines a light on serious national security issues that our own government has created by direct financial support and ownership of a business that supports anti-American, radical Islamic activities. Make no mistake, there is an internal cultural jihad underway against our great nation, and I fear that many of our political leaders are unwittingly complicit in it.”

So, as I have contended all along, when the US Government makes moves against its US Constitutional charter, the LOUCs always come home to roost.

 

The BHO green agenda jumps forward

The meeting between BHO and the Mean Green Machine was too important an event to ingore. No, I am not writing about BHO getting together with the Green Bay Packers, but none other then the ex-VP Al Gore. This meeting which was almost treated as a side note by most of the main stream media took place last Tuesday, Dec. 9, 2008, on issues of the environment, alternative energy sources, and BHO's green agenda.

Now as I indicated in October before the election was even done that if BHO was elected he would implement 10 agenda items of his very liberal left upbringing and education. Please review this list and look specifically at #10.

The radical left of the environmentalists that are basically communists in green clothing are going to get their wishes with this alliance between BHO and AG, and what a ton of wasted tax money and lackluster economy it is going to leave in its wake.

I warned you, and now I can only suggest that you get your money and resources out of this country as soon as you can. Go to the Bahamas, Grand Caymans, Isle of Man, or even Switzerland. Just get it out of the clutches of the green communists that are going to destroy this country's economy with their green regulations and policies.

The first action will be the ratification of the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols of the UN by the now very liberal US Senate. This step alone will put such limitations on the US economy that by the end of the first BHO term, the US will still be in a severe recession.

See other countries have ratified the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols, but none of the real polluters are even on the need to do so. China and India are exempted due to their "developing status." The purpose of the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols is to hamstring the big economies to bring them down to the size and power of the norm. Within 2 terms of BHO's administration, he will preside over the complete metamorphosis of the USA into the the USSA.

The BHO agenda is beginning to take shape as I predicted.

More on the Illinois political machine scandal

The Illinois Governor influence peddling scandal is growing like a weed on steroids. It now seems that the now-accused, arrested, arraigned and released on bail, Governor Rod Blagojevich (can't believe I can now spell his name without looking it up!) had his hand in all kinds of "south side Chicago politics".

 

The over 100 page complaint alleges that Blagojevich was not only trying to sell BHO's vacant US Senate seat to the highest bidder, but was trying to influence peddle corporate rights of access, union sweetheart deals, and his attempt to alter the Chicago Tribune newspaper's editorial board to more favorable members in turn for assistance with the Tribune Company's sell of their Chicago sports facility.

 

Its truly mind boggling that BHO could be so close to this scandal ever before he has taken the country's highest office; however, the Democrats and liberals are trying to help him distance his office from these dealings with all the power at their command.

 

The only major media outlets covering the story in any depth is the Fox New Channel on cable and some of the late night talk shows taking some "humor" at the Illinois Governor's expense.

 

The US Attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald, said that he was not extending his investigation to the BHO campaign or its members, but did not specifically say BHO was clean. So if the players begin to "desert the sinking ship" what will come out as they try to get the best deal from Fitzgerald?

 

The BHO ship sails on...

 

Dem Illinois Gov arrested for Senate seat peddling

Scandals are happening in Illinois before BHO even gets to the White House as the current Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (IL-D) is arrested for peddling the now vacant US Senator's seat previously held by President-elect BHO. Yes, my friends, he is Democrat and very liberal.

 

Gov. Blagojevich is allegedly offering the vacant Senate seat during taped phone calls which were recorded by the US Attorney's office in Illinois. This is the same US Attorney that indicted Scooter Libby, the once Bush White House advisee, during his recent trial that ended with his being convicted of lying under oath.

 

The only main stream media outlet breaking the news if the Tribune Co's Chicago papers since the Governor is also charged with using his office to try and get editorial board members at the Chicago papers of the Tribune Company (the one filing for bankruptcy due to a $12 Billion USD debt load) fired for being negative about the Governor's actions concerning the vacant US Senate seat and the Tribune's refunding operations.

 

So now BHO has to deal with this embarrassment while he is trying to just get to the White House unscathed by his own party and the far left liberal clan that are upset with his cabinet picks and his back peddling on several liberal issues he promised during the campaign.

 

Again, the story just gets better and better. We conservatives or independents as the case may be are just sitting back and laughing while we watch our country burn since the lunatics are firmly in charge of the asylum.

 

The first steps towards socialism are being heard!

OK, finally something worth writing about on the blog...

 

I told you I would inform you when the state of the Union was heading towards a more socialistic formation, and before BHO has even taken office, the ugly head of government intrusion into private industry (the hallmark of creeping socialism) has reared its head.

 

In Illinois, the state government has decided to suspend all business with Bank of America because it supposedly withdrew a small business credit funding and the employees of this small business whom appear from all news programs to be non-English speaking immigrants with mortgage loans they can't afford staged a take-over of the business' office building. The Governor of Illinois, the very liberal Rod Blagojevich, has informed BOA that they will lose all Illinois state government relationships.

 

Now this may sound very compassionate and nice, but don't get misled: this is the new socialistic bent of government that is now going to use its power, control and assets to force social engineering which is the very tip of the iceberg of socialistic formations. Government that intrudes into the operation of private company capital formation and usage is the very definition of socialism.

 

Now all the liberal Congress people are getting on the bandwagon:

 

Rep. Jan Schakowsky, an Illinois Democrat, called it the start of a movement. "This story has resonated around the world," she said.

 

Rep. Schakowsky's comments are even more indicative of how the liberals are going to move towards the far left and all conservatives should ensure that they don't hide their heads in the sand as it happens. Engage those that believe that this is the right thing to accomplish. Don't be afraid speaking your mind.

 

This act by the Illinois governor should send a chill down the spine of every capitalistic, free-market citizen. The step is right down the line of what I warned you about the BHO and his SMDC in that they would slow, but very surely move towards the tenants of socialism. It is the beginning of the move from the USA towards the USSA.

 

Just watch the small steps, folks. They are happening now in front of our very nose.

 

 

Indian gun laws and police preparedness at fault

The Mumbai massacres were made worse by the complete lack of citizen-based firepower due to the rather draconian gun laws in India. The Indian police even said that they had not fired their weapons in over 10 years, and the normal Indian citizen can not even get a gun permit unless they can prove their are being currently endangered, and when that endangerment is over, they have to turn their weapon back into the authorities.

 

So if you are a terrorist with all the weapons in the world at your disposal, are you going to be afraid to take on the entire city of Mumbai with over 20 million inhabitants? Hell, NO! No one has the firepower to even show you a contest. The terrorists brought the weapons in from outside India (DUH!) and then sprayed everyone they could see with automatic weapons fire. So you can see how 10 terrorists could do so much damage.

 

Would this have happened in Texas or Upstate NY, or Alaska? Again, hell NO! The terrorists would have to land a complete battalion replete with heavy artillery to do that amount of damage. Everyone in those US locales pack and are not afraid to use their now Supreme Court affirmed 2nd Amendment rights.

 

At least the USSC (United States Supreme Court) saw the 2nd amendment as applying to normal citizens and not just the government.

 

We will have to see how the USSC acts over the next 4 years after the new BHO appointments take their seats.

 

Back but not much to report on

I am back, but there is still nothing of very big consequence to report on or to comment on for the past few days. I will keep my ear to the ground and the Internet for such things.

 

The terrorist attack in Mumbai was a big event that many on the left tried to down play especially the ultra-leftys on CNN and MSNBC making the USA the bad guy again. We caused the attack by our mere existence on the planet.

 

I just can't wait for the one (BHO) to arrive on the scene so that the world will quit being angry at us. ;-)
