Obama's agenda coming to fruition

The Obama administration is picking up steam to get its agenda passed before the 2010 elections since it is now afraid that the country will take away his SMDC (super-majority Dem Congress) thus making it harder to get his liberal agenda through the Congress.

 

Remember, I blogged about this back on Oct. 3, 2008 when I listed the 10 agenda items that I predicted Obama would try and get passed during his term as POTUS. If you review this list you will see that Obama and his administration has started down the road to getting passed through the SMDC of 2009-2010.

 

Here are the 10 items for your review:

 

1. Nationalization of health care and prevention of doctors from leaving the USA

 

2. Nationalization of the education system (no more private education)

 

3. Socialization of the welfare system ensuring that everyone gets a living wage

 

4. Socialization of the housing system so everyone has a place to live

 

5. Demilitarization of the US military giving control of our soldiers and weapons to the UN

 

6. Revocation of the 2nd amendment pertaining to private ownership of firearms

 

7. Federalization of the public air wave and media via the "Fairness Doctrine"

 

8. Suppression of conservative religious activities via IRS revocation of "tax exempt" status

 

9. Huge increases in tax rates on corporations so that when they fail, the Government must nationalize them

 

10. Finally, the piece de resistance, will be the rationing and price controls of goods and services as the free-market fails to work due imposition of global warming reduction initiatives that hamstring the US economic engine.

 

Item #1 (health care) is current being "hammered-out" in the SMDC this evening. What a prophet I was back then eh?

 

Item #4 (housing socialization) has been the crux of most of his "bail-out" nonsense including the TARP, Stimulus1, housing credit, etc.

 

Item #5 (demilitarization) Obama is currently in talks with the UN to give control of many of the US military brigades to the Security Counsel of the UN. He has said that he wants uni-lateral disarmament of the US.

 

Item #6 (gun control) The Pelosi House under the guidance of the Obama WH is trying to pass stringent gun-ownership/control that gets around the recent SCOTUS ruling on the 2nd amendment. Since they can't touch the guns, they are going to go after the ammo and ownership fees. Also, they will make gun ownership a public health issue to be controlled via the Obamacare bill coming through Congress.

 

Item #7 (air-wave control) This Thursday, Oct. 22, 2009, the FCC will vote on something being called the "Network Neutrality" doctrine that sounds great, but will put the FCC firmly in control of the Internet. Whoa!

 

Item #9 (nationalization of Corps) Man, I couldn't have more right on this agenda item, but the Obama WH has taken over the car industry, student loan, Wall Street, banks, newspapers, and housing with their bail-outs.

 

Item #10 (global warming) What can I say: Cap & Tax on its way to be passed before the end of the year!

 

That's 7 out of 10! Not a bad record, eh Obama?

 

Obama and Fascism

Those that understand the background and education of our current President, Barack Obama, know that he is indeed a social democratic politician looking to "fundamentally change the American system" with a more federally controlled form of government very akin to the Social Democrats of the 1930's and 40's in Germany and Italy. We know these governments as fascists.

 

Please understand that a democratic republic CAN NOT become socialist, but it can and often does become a fascist-based form of government. To know why you had to study the differences between a socialistic form of government and fascist form of government. Why do monarchies become socialistic while democracies and republics become fascists?

 

The fine line of reasoning comes from the control of "means of production" as Karl Marx put it in his "Das Capital." Socialism is the most prevalent form of "populist" control of the means of production in a country that was controlled by a monarchy since the means of production was centrally managed in both forms of organization. In a fascist form of government, the government simply replaces "big business" or uses big business to rest control of the means of production with the end results being fairly similar: centrally managed economies.

 

The Obama White House is moving the US towards form of fascism not socialism; however, the result will be the same: the state becomes the central control point for everything American.

 

The crisis that Obama will use to take control

What will the crisis be that the Obama White House will utilize to invoke the "Directive 51?" How will Obama turn this constitutional republic into a constitutional dictatorship?

 

You may have guessed it: the H1N1 "swine flu" epidemic that is coming this fall. As this pandemic increases in virulence and global coverage, the Obama administration will use it to seize control of transportation, communications, and resources under Directive 51. It will be done to "protect and preserve" the Republic, yaddah yaddah, blah blah blah.

 

If you have never read Directive 51 or the National Emergency Powers Act of 1976, you need to stop sticking your head in the sand and use the internet while you have it to use. Yes, the Obama White House has asked its SMDC to pass legislation that would allow the White House seize and control the US portion of the Internet during an national emergency.

 

Why would they do this? To prevent the passing of dissenting information during such an emergency or to support counter-revolutionary comments and contacts. The Obama administration learned from the Iranian election debacle that it needs to control the communications infrastructure to prevent news from leaking out about what is or will be trying to do during a national emergency.

 

I  know you are rolling your eyes and saying, "Not in America!" YES, in America as proposed by US Senate bill S 773 authored by US Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia. Haven't heard of it! Damn you people are stupid!

 

Read how your freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights are being slowly eroded through the use of "emergency situations" like Obama's COS (chief of staff) R. Emanuel said, "never let a good crisis go to waste..." The Obama administration is NOT interested in money, power or fame; it wants CONTROL over your lives. It wants a fascist state where it calls the shots using "big business" and "big labor" as its right and left arms with the liberal press running interference until they find their powers of "free press" removed as well.

 

Remember, when you make a pact with the devil, you have to eat the dinner to prepared.

 

Watch this fall, its coming to a republic near you.

 

 

The rising level of dissatisfaction in the USA

With the  tea parties, summer town hall meetings with the accusations of "staging" on both sides, growing deficit projections, Congressional inability to rein in the executive branch, and increased discussions about the Obama "shadow government headed by his czars," this country is primed for a revolution like never before since the one that begat this Republic.

 

Do I care? Not really since what will happen will happen, and the Obama White House, due to his inexperience, is forcing the issue where he need not have done due to the 2008 election results; however, when you put an inexperienced politician into the Presidency, you get someone that does not how "pace the reforms," thinking that he has to do everything in the first year of his administration. Had Obama taken his time, slowly implemented the changes for card check, global warming, health care reform, and first amendment curtailments, he would gotten everything under the "frog in boiling water" effect.

 

What is the frog in the boiling water effect: simply, if you put a frog into boiling water like what Obama is attempting to do with everything too quickly, the frog will jump out of the pan; if, on the other hand, you place the frog in room temperature water, and slowly raise the heat, he will stay in and boil. This is what Obama lacks: common sense.

 

Now for most of the independents and conservatives this lack of common sense on Obama's part is to their advantage since they will use the 2010 election to duplicate the 1994 mid-term elections by removing his SMDC to check his power to make such sweeping changes. He will then spend his remaining 2 or 6 years saddled with a non-blank check in the Congress.

 

People in the US realize soon that "elections do have consequences," and when a single party government tries too much like the Republicans did from 1994 to 2006, and the Democrats are now doing, the voters checkmates the White House by doing what the Founding Fathers designed into the Constitution with the "separation of powers."

 

HOWEVER, one event may stop the "checks-and-balances" from working: if Obama & his COS (chief of staff) make or get their crisis, they will be able to seize power granted by the Emergency Powers claimed by the White House by GW Bush in 2007 reads as follows:

 

The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive (National Security Presidential Directive NSPD 51/Homeland Security Presidential Directive HSPD-20, sometimes called simply "Executive Directive 51" for short), created and signed by United States President George W. Bush on May 4, 2007, is a Presidential Directive which claims power to execute procedures for continuity of the federal government in the event of a "catastrophic emergency". Such an emergency is construed as "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions."

This is key to Obama's future for the United States... (more in the next post)

 

Obama and other politicians have become totally inept!

The health care debate is beginning to show Obama's inexperience and lack of effectiveness in being President. He is still running a campaign instead of being the President to all Americans. Now you can understand why I do not consider Obama my President. It is because he is NOT acting as my President, he is still acting like a Democratic candidate trying to get his side of the aisle roused for the health care debate.

Obama is not the President of the US, but President of the Democrats while he calls the opposition "mobs." Such talk from a supposed President only shows that he is too inexperienced as we were told by his own party members and even his own Vice President. The Presidency does not lend itself to on the job training, or so were the words that are now coming to ring to true. Obama is an unmitigated disaster, and history will show him to be such a tragedy. He continues to act like the community organizer that was his ONLY job before his 20 months in the Senate. Remember, America, elections have consequences, and you are getting yours in spades.

He is paired with the other parts of the unholy triad: Pelosi and Reid. Between the three of these jokers, the America that you knew growing up, read about, and were told was the "envy of the ages," is going to become a broken-down old lady with only memories of greatness while the image of "Lady Liberty" fades from the pages of history beginning with the election of Obama and his SMDC.

The conservatives are NOT the answer since the Republicans have given up their right to lead with the Bush-43 years debacle and have become party of the problem not the solution. All politicians, right and left, need to be turned-out beginning with the 2010 and 2012 elections. Nothing will reform these people since they are drunk with power and money from the US Treasury.

Politicians in Washington, DC are completely useless and ineffective except in the only way they can improve their own lot in life. Tomorrow I will post a list of behaviors and ethical actions that voters should hold their elected officials to or turn them into civilians WITHOUT pensions!

Cash for Clunkers -- what an economic crock!

Can you believe your eyes and ears, America? Liberals and Dems are touting the success of the Cash for Clunkers (CFC) program! They are falling all over themselves to tout what is basically a "FREE MONEY GIVEAWAY" program using YOUR tax dollars, and they even got several stupid Republicans to support giving the program another $2B USD so they could keep it going. What a farce! Can we have slipped into delusion at such a rate as to think that giving away $4500 USD for making a purchase of a car (not even a US car company car) to rich people that could afford to make the purchase anyway?

 

This has reached a point from which you can probably see that while this clown is in the White House, and his two sidekicks, yes I mean Pelosi/Reid, are running the Congress, your tax dollars are basically going to be poured down more rat holes while they take center stage to tout their innovation and compassion. These people are so drunk with power and status that they can't even see that their actions are counter to EVERY principle known to modern economic theory.

 

Why wouldn't FREE money giveaways be a success? Unbelievable. Such stupidity and arrogance.

 

Just think about the LOUC (law of unintended consequences) for this one.

1. The CFC gave money to those already capable of passing tightened leaning practices (rich people)
2. The CFC "brought forward" purchases that would have been done anyway, but now leaving a gap in the future when the recession is suppose to be ending.
3. Cases that the CFC monies are being used to purchase luxury SUVs that in econo-mode get just the barest minimum of gas efficiency.
4. That CFC will be the model for more giveaways in mortgages, boats, student loans, residential home energy upgrades, etc. Look how quick this SMDC "printed up" $2B USD more to this program.
5. The CFC program will impact the used car market by reducing the number of used cars available for sale further jamming future car purchases.
6. The CFC program is being used to purchase non-US car company vehicles thereby supporting foreign car companies over GM (government motors) type companies.
7. The CFC program is distorting the car purchasing paradigm for the next 2 years requiring more and more CFC-type programs: one begets the other.

and many more...

 

Anytime the USG sticks their hand into the "free market" (now there's a joke) in the US, the distortion waves span out for years and into other industries not even contemplated. This is a direct application of the LOUC principle. Be prepared for more and more CFC-type programs so the Liberals/Dems/BHO can crow for a short time before the pigeons come home to roast. Yes, I meant roast, not roost.

 

Unbelievable stupidity fostered by unmitigated gall and arrogance. America truly is beyond repair with these jokers in office. The 2010 election will tell the tale if America will be destroyed or salvaged, and its just a mere 15 months away.

 

Solutions to health care and consequences if its screwed up!

On my twitter.com site (@RulesAreForYou), I recently listed 5 changes that need to be implemented in order to solve the current health care crisis without the $1.5 Trillion Obamacare initiative known as HR 3200. These common sense ideas would give everyone in the US a much better health care experience without breaking the back of the US taxpayer which is already in dire straights of being overwhelmed by this administration and legislative agenda on energy (Cap & Trade), Stimulus II, Detroit Bailout 1,2&3 (don't forget the Cash for Clunkers), and the union (Card Check).

 

What everyone including the Dems & BHO for proposing it, and the Republicans for fights the wrong fight DON'T UNDERSTAND is simple Economics 101!!!!!! Folks, it does not take a rocket scientist or Nobel Prize winner (these days they are all political and not intellectual choices anyway) to understand the real issue with health care reform. I will explain.

 

First, what are MY health care initiatives that will solve the problem today without spending $1.5 Trillion?

 

1.  Stop exempting health care insurance companies from the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and allow interstate insurance competition.

2.  Provide health care tort reform getting the huge tort awards out of the medical field; this stops "defensive medical practices."

3.  Allow batch government pharmaceutical volume purchasing along with Medicare fraud prosecution.

4.  Double/triple the number of PA and NPs by recruiting and paying tuition fees for these medical professionals.

5.  Separate hospitals' Emergency Department areas into non-emergency and emergency areas to cut down on acute care costs.

These 5 initiatives and their supporting corollaries would support the needs of Americans WITHOUT the need for a government take-over or even significant intrusion. It would solve the current major problems and provide the profit-motive that makes the US health care system the best in the world. Come now, liberals, before you jump and down, please ask me where every dictator or wealthy foreigners come to get the best medical care in the world? Ok, now sit down and shut up until you know more than me.

 

Second, the primary economic principle that all politicians are simply ignorant of: the Dems by proposing it, and the Repubs for not using it to make the US voters understand is simple the economic principle of "the law of supply & demand." Stated for even the public school graduates to understand is this: as you increase demand without increasing supply, either price will go up or rationing of the product or service must occur.

 

Applied to health care the principle is: if you give what the Dems say is the number of uninsured (40-50 million) access to health care without increasing the number of health care professionals (MD, RN, NP, or PA) and health care facilities (hospitals, clinics or out-patient sites) the law of supply & demand will take over the health care environment.

 

What does this mean: since the BHO/SMDC HR 3200 has stated that they will "SET PRICES" then the only other economic alternative available is the rationing of health care services. For those that don't believe that rationing will occur then you are simply naïve or ignorant or both. Do you homework about the 1973 gas rationing experience. It was simple supply and demand. Nixon froze "price and wages," and thus forced the rationing of gasoline to occur during the spring and summer of 1973. It is as much a law of nature as the law of gravity.

 

So if HR 3200 becomes law then health care rationing will be the consequence. Pure and simple.

 

Waxman maneuvers to exempt Congress from health care bill

The latest outrage of this Congress is the unmitigated gall of Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee stopped a vote on an amendment that would have forced all of Congress to accept whatever public option they voted on for the rest of the US citizens.

 

How's that for arrogance and hypocrisy? Why do people especially the idiots in California continue to send "elitists" like Waxman back to Congress year-after-year? Are liberals so blind that if they want government-run healthcare is should cover the actual people forcing US citizens to accept their work?

 

Liberals like Waxman are so hypocritical is stinks. Most liberals I know are fine with the public option, and that is their right and to their credit that they will put up with whatever their omniscient, omnipotent Government dictates. I completely disagree with their assessment or desires, but at least most normal liberals aren't hypocrites like Waxman.

 

Every member of Congress that votes for this Bill that exempts themselves from its own tenants should be excoriated and turned out of office in disgrace! If I was paying taxes and had to accept their healthcare legislation, I would be extremely angry and resentful.

 

If American just accepts "Waxman-like" hypocrisy like the sheep they are becoming without the American-spirit that once lighted the way for the world, then truly "America Can't Be Fixed." America will cease to be the light of hope and the home of the brave. Too bad America, you are now a third world country with all the "sheep-like tendencies," and blind acceptance of government actions.

 

So sad, America, so sad..., but Waxman, "you are such an asshole!" I can still say that at least.

 

BHO begins to show his real roots marxism

BHO will go down in history as the President that spawned the 2nd Constitutional Convention due to his heavy-handed approach to Federalism over the States Sovereignty (the 10th amendment issue). This can be seen as the number of states having either passed or are in the process of passing a States Sovereignty Bill: 38 states have either passed/signed (2) or have introduced legislation towards reaffirming their 10th amendment rights.

 

This is amazing given the landslide win of BHO and the SMDC last year in Nov. 2008. Who would have thought that anti-Bush backlash would have begun to fade so quickly, but many people are beginning to realize the mounting costs to their future by this tag team of BHO & SMDC. Maybe the American people are not so dumb, excuse me, ignorant after all.

 

Many of the people that are going to be impacted by the fascist moves of the BHO/SMDC team are SMB (small-medium sized business) where over 75% of all private sector jobs are created. Workers are beginning to understand that if you kill this "golden goose," they are ultimately impacting their own future. You can only hoodwink the American public for just so long before they finally wake up and realize the subterfuge. BHO & his SMDC are going to get the backhand of this "sleeping giant."

 

However, the question will be: will the sleeping American public take action before their world is completely altered towards the fascist (remember the difference between socialism and fascism -- do your homework if you still do not know) centralized controls being passed by the SMDC. Remember, I told that BHO would revert to his roots (community organizing) which he learned from his mentor and activist, Saul Alinsky.

 

For those that do not believe BHO's leanings, read what is said about Mr. Alinsky's political view:

 

In the Alinsky model, "organizing" is a euphemism for "revolution" -- a wholesale revolution whose ultimate objective is the systematic acquisition of power by a purportedly oppressed segment of the population, and the radical transformation of America's social and economic structure. The goal is to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion, and outright chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels, and Lenin predicted -- a revolution whose foot soldiers view the status quo as fatally flawed and wholly unworthy of salvation. Thus, the theory goes, the people will settle for nothing less than that status quo's complete collapse -- to be followed by the erection of an entirely new system upon its ruins. Toward that end, they will be apt to follow the lead of charismatic radical organizers who project an aura of confidence and vision, and who profess to clearly understand what types of societal "changes" are needed.

Sound like someone now occupying the White House??? You make the call. ;-)

 

 

BHO has finally slunked to a new low at Martha's Vineyard.

With the Gates arrest debacle hogging the news cycle, is it any wonder that BHO scurried out of WDC on a quickly arranged "vacation?"  While BHO vacations at one of the world's most exclusive resorts (supposedly renting for $40,000/wk!), the US unemployment rate is getting to run over 10% with many states already in the double digits. When the White House is blasting corporations for taking spa retreats and junkets, BHO does exactly what he is accusing the "captains of industry" of doing. Again, what hypocrisy!

 

Problems are growing everywhere: Iran, Taliban in Afghanistan, North Korea, the Sudan, pirates near Somali, Honduras in civil war, Russia's economy near collapse, etc. This is the time that we need to take care of US! We need someone less interested in how the world sees us, and more about where the legally constituted citizens of the US are faring.

 

Now is the time to make sure that every US citizen is fed, warm, and healthy!

 

Now is the time to make sure that our people are educated, housed, and happy!

 

Now is the time to make sure that the US is energy independent!

 

BHO needs to stop trying to "spend our way out of recession," and understand economics 101: "You CAN'T spend your way out of a recession!" Someone needs to tell ole Joe Biden that as well since he doesn't seem to understand it very well given his recent speech to the AARP group.

 

What a bunch of idiots got elected in 2008! I am glad they are not my idiots, not my President, not my Congress. The whole lot, Republicans and Democrats and yes, the 1 socialists from Vermont, needs to be thrown out. If we don't, then we will get what we deserve. Glad I will not be here to see it.

 

 

The coming health care crisis; BHO is behind it.

The BHO will try and stem the tide of waning public opinion over his $1.5 Trillion unfunded health care program which, make no mistake, is a veiled attempt to instigate a SPS (single payer system) by doing an end-run around the private insurance-based health care system most Americans have today.

 

How is this possible you ask? I hope you have the intelligence to ask this question.

 

Here's the situation in very simple terms:

 

1. BHO/SMDC pass a "public option" health insurance program. While this sounds good, it will mimic similar actions that occurred when LBJ (remember him) passed the Medicare/Medicad programs of the 1960s. What happened is that many people covered by their private insurance programs were "dumped" on to the public programs as SMB (small-to-medium sized businesses) lowered their costs by dropping their private option in favor of the public one.
2. The health care bill will include an 8% tax on SMB for those that currently don't offer their employees health care insurance thereby forcing them to accept the public insurance option.
3. Once the public insurance option is available, many SMBs will shunt their employees to this program by accepting the 8% payroll tax thereby placing many private health insurance companies on life support.
4. As the public insurance option explodes as more and more people get their health insurance from the government, the laws of "supply and demand" will kick in by increasing the waiting time for health care access forcing the start of health care rationing as the demand rises and supply of health care begins to dwindle.
5. As the health care crisis increases due to the government supplied insurance option, the health care system implodes forcing the government to take over all health care activities as "the crisis demands action." The BHO/SMDC achieve their SPS goal without legislation or executive action. "If we didn't act, the entire health care system would collapse." Heard that before?

 

Remember the words of BHO's Chief of Staff: "Never let a a good crisis go to waste." In other words, create the crisis and then provide the solution on your terms.

 

BHO stays true to form; consequences to follow!

Having taken some time to see if BHO (Barry H Obama), the current occupant of the White House, and his now SMDC (super-majority democratic congress) which I predicted back in Oct. 17, 2008 almost 3 weeks before the Nov 2008 election results were known. In addition, on October 3, 2008, I predicted the 10 things that BHO would almost immediately begin to push through after his election.

 

If you read the 10 things BHO would do from the archives of my blog, you will see that he has attempted to push through almost 5 of them before his first 6 months in office. As his poll numbers continue to slip, BHO will attempt to increase his "collectivism-based" agenda before the US voters take his SMDC away from him in the 2010 Congressional elections. However, before then he will be able to alter the US political and economic landscape possibly forever.

 

Remember what I said back in 2008: "ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES" quoting Bush-43. America is getting exactly what they voted for in 2008 and they desire it! You can't be so ignorant as to put someone without no executive experience and only activist tendencies into the highest office of the land and not expect to get activist outcomes. BHO is nothing more than a 3rd world style demagogue without any idea of the impact his actions will have on the future of this country. Your children and grandchildren will be paying for the election of 2008 for their entire lives.

 

Don't look at me, I don't pay taxes (legally and my choice) and will not pay taxes until BHO and his SMDC is turned out in disgrace similar to the fate of Carter, the idiot President from Georgia. However, before he is sent packing, he will almost assuredly bankrupt this country, placing a tax burden on those that actually create jobs, and sending all into a socialized nightmare which I hope everyone is ready to accept.

 

The nightmare can not be stopped, only its aftermath can be survived. Remember, I told you this would happen.

 

The "rule of law" died today in the USA!

The next step in the chain of events towards collectivism has taken place today. Most people will never hear about it since it will not be reported with much passion in the Obama-media, but it was the SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the US) failure to uphold "black letter law" in the Chrysler bankruptcy case.

 

What the SCOTUS did today was pure and simple fascistic in nature. Since the founding of the USA over 200 years ago, bankruptcy laws have provided a sane, procedural methods for dealing with business failures. Today the court decided that it would not adhere to its history of Constitutional protections; today, the SCOTUS probably due to some pressure from the BHO and SMDC decided that the White House backed plan to turn over Chrysler to Fiat and the UAW was OK. The rule of law at least in bankruptcy cases is now no longer protected.

 

This will have significant impacts in the future the USA. The moral high ground is now lost to us since we don't even adhere to our own laws. We have now become a country where the politically connected can get the highest court in the land to overturn established written law ("black letter law") in their favor. It is simply shocking and unbelievable.

 

Today is the beginning of the death of "rule of law" in the USA. Rule by judicial fiat and political arm-twisting becomes the norm.

 

Good night, America, your light is dimming quickly; you walk in waning twilight of your years.

 

Elections have consequences...

The hand of the liberal left embodied in the current BHO White House and the SMDC (Super-majority Democratic Congress) is being played with the last several events to "plague" our country. First, the complete disregard for the "rule of law" as the BHO/SMDC force the bondholders of Chrysler and GM to accept "arm-twisted" settlements; second, the nomination of Judge Sotomayor as the next SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the US) justice, and finally, the fast tracking of the 900 page "Energy Bill" that involves the "cap and trade" provision.

 

Let's put the demeaning, almost pejorative, comments about how inept BHO is or how "clueless" the SMDC has become, and deal with the facts.

 

BHO's White House continues on an almost daily basis to swear they don't want to run businesses, but everyday brings more and more government involvement in banks, student loans, insurance, and now the auto business. For a group of people that don't want to run anything, they sure are acting like they all want to be CEOs!

 

Judge Sonia Sotomayor comments about Latinas being more capable than white male judges, and how judges should be making policy only illustrate that BHO's campaign rhetoric about not wanting to name "activist" judges was just that: campaign gibberish.

 

Finally, in another "hurry up and screw up" demand by the White House, the US Congress is preparing to pass the largest energy tax and spend bill in the country's history without being able to read or understand its implications. The over 940 pages of legal-speak will place taxes on almost every aspect of the use of energy in our country; the rise in utility prices are going to hit everyone from the poorest to the richest; from the worker to the employer.

 

This far left ideology of the BHO/SMDC is being fast-tracked since they know that by the time the new legislation hits and shows its real stripes, the 2010 election may change the power the of the SMDC just like the country did to Clinton in 1994. The issue of nationalized health care is next on their agenda after destroying manufacturing, legal, and energy aspects of our economy.

 

Remember, America: "Elections have consequences..."

 

Pace of social reform increases

The slide towards fascistic government/business control continues with the BHO/SMDC's offering and likely passage of the global warming now called climate change legislation. With the Congress now firmly in the hands of a single party run by raging liberals, the legislation will reach far and wide. Increases in utility bills, higher gas prices, rising job losses, and further wealth distribution will plague the country.

 

BHO's 2010 budget contains hundreds of billions for social engineering such a nationalized health care, climate change legislation, liberal organization advancement, single source educational funding by the federal government, and behind the scenes forcing of private company to accept governmental edicts. The pace of change is truly mind-blogging as BHO realizes that it may to an abrupt end in Nov 2010.

 

These changes in the structure of the US infrastructure is very similar to what happened in Italy during the 1930's as Mussolini came to power initially with the aid of private business, and later over the bodies of these supporters. Italy moved from democracy to fascism in a little over 5 years using one crisis after another to facilitate the slide.

 

Is America on the same path? Is America going blindly into such a political quagmire? Is America doomed as single-party rule enacts changes without checks-and-balances? Don't go to sleep, the future is unfolding with lightening speed.

 

More movement towards the USSA

All that was predicted is now coming to pass as the BHO and SMDC (super-majority democratic congress) begin to pick up steam. Today they forced Chrysler into bankruptcy and predicted a quick exit. They now run the US Bankruptcy Courts? The US Senate passed the 2010 BHO budget including the first step towards nationalized health care. The US Supreme Court's first of several open vacancies appeared setting off a firestorm of media legal frenzy.

 

BHO's White House has completely decimated the morale of the US intelligence community by outing several CIA-military operatives. Where are the liberal rants about the outing of CIA operatives like the Valarie Plane situation? Oh yes, this is the God-Emperor Obama doing this; we must believe and accept his judgment. ;-)

 

This country got what it voted for, and when, not if, this country gets attacked again during BHO's tenure, the lives of innocent Americans will scream for justice denied. It's coming, its only a matter of time. I am so glad I don't live in a big US target (read that big US city).

 

Life is going to change in the US big time over the next 18 months. Glad I can live beyond the USA boundaries when I need to do so.

 

BHO's first 100 days and their impact on the USA

As the BHO's 100 days is now history, it is very evident that he really is the far-left liberal that the talk shows were saying he was during the 2008 campaign. His ability to hide this from the voting moderates and independents that helped to elect him is wearing thin as his huge increase in spending, government programs, and private sector reach illustrates his propensities for bigger government and control.

 

The "perfect storm" of single-party rule is beginning to rise from the depths of political fickleness through the contrived win of Al Franken in Minnesota, and the most recent turncoat action of Sen. Arlen Speckter of Pennsylvania in switching parties in order to save his "political legacy." This storm will wash away any semblance of the Constitutional "checks-and-balances" by allowing the Democrats to control all parts of the government but the Supreme Court. Who said, "Elections have consequences."  (Yes, it was GWBush after the 2004 election)

 

The US voters did this to themselves, and thus they will have to put up with the changes that this very liberal administration and Congress will force on the US. Before the 2010 elections, the US will see 2 BHO huge-deficit exploding budgets, the implementation of nationalized health care, the nationalization of banks, car companies, insurance companies, and mortgage operations, the elimination of the secret ballot in unionization elections, the labeling of Christians, conservatives, and veterans as "extremists", and the growth of the US national debt to over 15 Trillion!

 

Such changes will far outpace the normal American citizen's ability to accept, and there will be a backlash in the 2010 election as the electorate attempts to restore the "checks-and-balances" that they removed in 2008. It will be too late, however, as the changes listed above will already have begun to grow tentacles making it almost impossible to uproot them. Similar to the FDR and LBJ implemented changes of their era, the BHO changes will alter the American landscape for decades to come.

 

Americans will just have to "suck it up" and live with these facts since they voted BHO and his SMDC into power. Since I did not, and do not consider BHO my President since he is violating his oath of office, I can stand out of the maelstrom that is going to hit this country. I can travel beyond the boundaries of the the US and watch the catastrophe from a far. While I feel for what is coming, I can only say, "You brought this upon yourself, now live with it."

 

BHO working fast and furious towards the USDSA

Having been silent for as long as I can, I needs must raise my voice about the huge erosion of first amendment rights for free speech as is being suggested by both the BHO administration on Internet control, and the liberal-leaning BHO administration officials such as David Axelrod.

 

Having warned of this condition on October 3, 2008 before BHO was elected, I listed the highest 10 priority policy changes that BHO and his SMDC would attempt to implement that would move the USA towards the USSA or more likely the USDSA (United Social Democratic States of America). For those that do not remember or never learned what the code name "Social Democratic" formation means, you will  need to review your European history of the last century.

 

The changes which have already been started are:

 

• #1: Nationalized health care (see 2010 BHO budget)
• #2: Repeal of Washington DC successful voucher program
• #3: Giving the over 50% non-taxpayers "tax cuts"; raising minimum wages
• #4: Tax credits for 1st time home buyers regardless of credit-worithness
• #5: DOD/DOJ appointees that believe in "transnationalization" and BHO own unilateral declaration of USA disarmament on his "apology" tour of early 2009.
• #6: Use of Mexican drug cartel problem to go after US citizens' 2nd amendment rights
• #7: US Senate hearings on bringing back the "Fairness Doctrine"
• #8: DHS designation of single-issue Christian religious groups as "extremists"
• #9: TARP/TALF giving control over US Corporations and banks even to the point where the BHO administration can hire and fire; implementation of pro-Union legislation
• #10: Implementation of a "cap and trade" program backed by the EPA designation of CO2 as a pollutant!

 

This list even shocked your blogger as all 10 have been orchestrated into existence much sooner than even I would have thought possible. I believe that BHO is beginning to understand that he will not get a 2nd term (he will pull a Jimmy Carter) and his SMDC may get reduced in the 2010 Congressional elections so he is doing what he can NOW.

 

Truly unbelievable the amount of change that elections bring, eh?

 

Faster move towards the USSA

Progress towards the USSA is proceeding faster than even I expected as the team of BHO and the SMDC now with Senators Kennedy and soon to be seated Senator Franken take even the threat of a Republican filibuster is vanquished thus setting the stage for a far-left liberal run as the political prize: re-gauging of America from a center-right to a left leaning political entity.

 

It now appears that there remains nothing between the unholy trio of BHO, Speaker Pelosi, and Majority Leader Reid and their prize of reforming the USA into the USSA during BHO's first term. The outside chance that the 2010 election will turn on the economy if it remains in the doldrums may be the only way that the power of the liberal Congress be broken as the voters experience more pain from the out of control spending by the 111th Congress.

 

The players in this little tragedy are going to continue unimpeded towards their goals without giving the impact on the future of the USA's capitalistic status that was first attacked during the Bush-43 wanning days in power. The current administration is only taking the prize it was given and running with it towards their intended end-game.

 

While many of the conservative, libertarian, and religious-right talk show hosts are trying to stem this tide, it is an already a fait accompli. There is nothing that can be done since it appears that the BHO/SMDC partnership is only worried about getting their agenda in place and passed regardless of the how slim or angry the American voters become as they watch the USA slide into the USSA. They believe that once the legislation is in place (cap&trade, nationalized health care, government-owned banks, unchecked unionism, trillion dollar deficits and budgets) the American population will not have the will to change it.

 

Remember Ben Franklin's warning about the end of the country comes when the voters realize they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. This is not a partisan issue, but a political class power grab, pure and simple.

 

 

BHO/Clinton being naive towards Russia

Once more the naiveté of the BHO's administration and his new Sec of State Clinton is showing up in the old Soviet Union as BHO/Clinton attempt to "push the reset button" with Russia and its strong man - PM Putin.

 

How can I make such an assertion? Am I a Russian political or historical expert? No, but I listen to a man that is: Garry Kasparov. Yes, GK is the ex-Russian chess IM (international grand master) that has turned his unbelievable intellect towards opposing the current Russian government made up of the puppet, Dmitry Medvedev, and the real power, Vladimir Putin.

 

Mr. Kasparov has pointed out that Mr. Putin is fighting for his political life and needs higher oil prices to maintain his power base, and so this leads to his need to ensure that the Middle East stays unstable to keep oil prices shifting. If oil prices stay depressed for much longer, Mr. Putin may have to relinquish his grip on power.

 

However, in order to prevent this, it would seem, BHO and Clinton are throwing Mr. Putin a lifeline by wanting to give Russia a "do over." Mr. Kasparov has stated clearly that it is a risk to do business with a tottering Mr. Putin, but far be it from anyone to tell Sec. Clinton that she may be naiveté.

 

Such arrogance and we will all pay the price when it comes tumbling down. The Islamic radicals are laughing at BHO and Sec. Clinton thinking that if they just "play nice" with them, they will not attack us. Radical Islam doesn't care if you are Republican or Democrat, black or white, male or female. We are the "great Satan" to them and nothing will change that regardless of how much the BHO administration bends over backwards to accommodate them and try to repair "our damaged international reputation after 8 years of Bush's lack of diplomacy..." (BHO during 2008 campaign).

 

We will be attacked during the BHO/Clinton administration and the buck will stop with his complete lack of understanding of "why they hate us."

 

 

 

It's now officially BHO's economy & country

It is now officially BHO's economy and problem! Why? Well, the BHO impact on the market now equals the Bush-43's. Let's go through the numbers...

 

The DOW at its highest point in Oct 2007 was 14152 and was 9512 on Nov. 4 when BHO was elected to the as the 44th POTUS (President of the US). That is a 31% decrease.

 

From the 9512 on Nov. 4 to today's close of 6594 now also equals a 31% decrease the same as the Bush-43's impact.

 

Many who do not understand how the market works will say that its not fair to put the Nov 4 DOW value at BHO's feet, but these people do not understand that the market is a "discounter of the future, not the past."

 

The stock market is looking 3-6 months down the road and so BHO's election on Nov 4 until today was the discounting of the market looking into his administration's actions and policies.

 

So from this point on, BHO has to take complete responsibility for the economy or he can't take kudos for its recovery. You can't have it both ways.

 

So welcome to the BHO/SMDC's economy and country.

 

The next US revolution is fomenting!

No, you say? The next USA revolution is forming in the back alleys, small towns, discussed in hushed terms around kitchen tables in homes all across the country. The county is being torn apart by those in power and those that want to be. The blues and reds are bringing the country closer to a flash point as they cease to do the "people's business" and continue to do their own.

 

The current administration says one thing and does another; continues to blame its predecessor for everything and fails to understand what is important to the "bread and butter" population while trying to do "political paybacks" buried in the Stimulus 2009 and the recent, pungent Omnibus Bill with over 8900 earmarks on both sides of the isle.

 

"Taxation without representation" has been replaced by "taxation by representation!"

 

Our elected officials have completely lost touch with the common citizen so where they disavow they even are beholding to them. The arrogance, the hypocrisy, the complete lack of sensitivity of Congressional members of either party continue to anger and alienate their voters. So why isn't anything being done to remedy this action?

 

"So goes California, so goes the country," is a common sayings in political and economic circles,  and if that is true, then we are in truly seeing where the revolution will begin. Take for example the CA Supreme Court's review of the 3rd referendum of the CA voters to disallow "same sex marriages." What is amazing is that they are even reviewing it! The CA voters have said three times now, "marriage is to be defined as a civil union between 1 man and 1 woman," but the CA activist jurists seem to believe they have the right to pass this action under their biased review.

 

Now it is being argued by the proponents of the "same sex marriage" movement that the citizens of CA DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THEIR OWN CONSTITUTION!" If the CASC strikes down the 3rd voters referendum, it will be the spark that begins the next revolution. It will begin in CA, spread to other states where voters are seeing their control over the government being reduced by the "new ruling political class" regardless of party affiliation. It is going to be them against us.

 

The Incogitable BHO 2010 Proposed Budget

If you thought the malversation of the Bush-43 administration was unbelievable, the BHO and SMDC are going to continue this practice with their deficit busting almost $4 Trillion 2010 budget! The sheer incredulous nature of a four trillion dollar exceeds the mental grasp of most people since spending this amount of money let alone paying for it sends the mind into a quivering fetal position.

 

This proposed budget which will sail through the SMDC without much debate or public inspection will only balloon the public's inability to deal with these size numbers since "95% of taxpayers will not see one dime of increase it their taxes..." The largest block of voting citizens -- those hoping to get the 95% treatment -- ignore these numbers living under the false impression that only the top 5% will pay for these outlandish budget demands. So sad, so typical, so American...

 

The FY 2010 budget is so filled with socialized program expansion it would seem that America now believes that BHO and the SMDC can and will take care of them from "cradle to first day of college..." In other words, they are now getting accustomed to the taste of the lactating nanny state.

 

As I said in my previous posts: America, you voted for this, and now you get to live with it. Such unimaginable explosions in government spending and tax levies can not but alter the American culture beyond return to reason. This year's budget alone is over 400 times the entire US GDP (total economic output or production) during the time the founding father's were arguing over the growth and control of centralized federal government. Wouldn't they be flabbergasted by the size of next year's proposed budget?

 

Yes, the numbers are correct: 400 times the entire country's output not the colonial budget. I am using the country's GDP (gross domestic output) to compare it to this year's US government budget. It is more than the entire Global GDP for 1946! Totally incredulous and incogitable.

 

Even Republicans now calling for socialization of USA!

To hear that Republicans like Senator Lindsey Graham who sits on the Senate Budget Committee, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke, and even Former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan are all saying that the nationalizing of banks in the US is not out of the question, I have to sit, take a deep breath, and wonder if the USSA is not already a reality!

 

I  never expected to see the speed with which the USA is being altered to become a European-styled socialistic concern: nationalizing banks, universal health care, government ownership of mortgages, bail-out and control of huge industries like the auto, airline, steel, etc, control of educational institutions, and loss of secret balloting in union choices. These moves many of which parallel the European countries of the EU are quickly becoming the norm in the USA, and why most people are not even aware of their enactment is beyond me.

 

Will US citizens wake up when they find that they are told when, where, and how to work, live, or make purchases, or will the more towards "bread and circus" be to addictive? Will our children vote themselves rebate checks, mortgage give-backs, credit card eliminations or 2 months of annual vacation like European-style socialist countries have? Is it too late for the USA to stop the morphing to the USSA?

 

For one baby-boomer, I believe it is. I think with the debt now being told we must assume for social engineering programs it has become too late since the benefactors of these programs significantly out number the producers from which the benefits are taken. Remember the warning about socialism:

 

Socialism stops working when you run out those that produce from which you take to give to those that don't.

 

We may be close to that situation since "why work when you can get as much as those that do."

 

True case study as foreclosure cessation begins

With the passage of the ARRA 2009 and all the financial chaos that will ensue, BHO now turns his attention toward wrecking the home mortgage market as well.

 

Why do I say this? BHO is proposing a government bail-out of "negative-equity homeowners" or people who overpaid for their homes and now owe more than their homes are worth. Now this sounds very compassionate, very magnanimous, very liberal by its intentions; however, by now you are aware that every time the government involves itself in the private sector there are LOUC (law of unintentional consequences) to pay.

 

What will the LOUC be in this seemingly "good intentioned" concept of helping those with homes on the brink of foreclosure? To accomplish this let's virtualize our perspective by going to an imaginary neighborhood in any suburban area say in Florida, Texas Gulf coast, or California. There are 3 homes in a cluster in a very quiet cul-de-sac; all the homes are similar is size, style, and value. The differences start when the houses were last put on the market and purchased by the Jones, the Smiths, and the Browns. All three homes have mortgages, but with different terms and current balances. Let's detail...

 

The Jones purchased their home for $205,000 with 10% down when the sub-division first opened for sale over 10 years ago. Ed Jones, an civil engineer, his wife Jill, and 3 children have lived in this home watching the neighborhood grow, change, and increase in value. Their mortgage is now going on 11 years for $180,000.00 balance at 7% fixed for 30 years. Ed's monthly payment is $1,800.00 including PITI.

 

The Smiths purchased their home 6 years ago with original terms of $250,000 with 5% down at 6.5% 30 fixed, but 3 years ago the Smiths refinanced their home for $250,000 on an ARM of 3.5% for 3 years, and then escalation of 1.5%/year maximum for 4 years with a cap of 9.5%. Tom Smith's current payment is now just moved to 5% for a monthly PITI of $2,000.00.

 

Finally, the Browns purchased their home 2 1/2 years ago on a teaser, interest-only rate of 3% on $300,000 and 0 down with a readjustment period to an ARM including PITI 3 years from origination beginning at 5% with an annual ramp-up of 1.5% to a maximum of 10%. George Brown's current monthly payment is $1,975.00 ITI, but will reset to $2,750.00 next month.

 

Here is the situation, the Brown's are now 2 months late on their mortgage since George sees he will not be able to make the new mortgage payment so he decided to let it go since all the houses have now lost almost 30% of their value and his house is now going NE (negative-equity). The Smith's home is at parity (home value worth mortgage), and the Jones' are happily making their mortgage payments after 10 years.

 

Obama steps in with his mortgage-support plan, and the following happens: the Smiths see that if they are 60 days late on their mortgage they will be eligible for assistance so they cancel the check they just sent to the mortgage processor so they are effectively 30 days late and get in under the wire. Now the Jones who have paid on their mortgage for 10 years are the lone current mortgagor and the only of the 3 to get nothing while his neighbors get assistance coming from Ed's taxes.

 

The final atrocity is that Ed Jones loses his job, and due to equity in his home, his mortgagee immediately begins foreclosure proceedings, but Ed is not eligible for government assistance since was current on his loan, is PE (positive-equity) profiled, and did not take out a "funny loan" on his house. Ed loses his house while the Smiths and Browns are bailed out with taxpayer monies, but the Browns are going to re-default in 12 months since they couldn't afford their homes anyway.

 

Sound like fantasy? This is a true case taken from a Columbus, Ohio bank records (names changed) that began about 6 months ago. The Jones who did what the system considered right and morale are the ones penalized while those that took advantage were rewarded with Ed's tax monies.

 

Only in America could this abomination occur. So what will be the LOUCs of BHO's foreclosure cessation/hiatus be?

 

1. A sharp increase in the number of foreclosures as "the Smith's get in under the wire."
2. Angry "Jones" as they fall outside the assistance envelope.
3. Delayed clearing of housing inventory as "the Browns" re-default 12 months later.
4. Recession lingers as the problem of markets clearing is prevented.

 

BHO is quickly moving towards becoming the new-FDR, not the new-JFK who cut taxes as history has shown. JFK cut marginal tax rates; he did not send out tax rebates to non-taxpaying voters.

 

 

Advice to all entreprenuers and SMB owners

I for one have now learned that America is no longer entrepreneurial-friendly and will not attempt to build a business that employs other Americans. I will take my place on the employee-side of the equation, do my daily labors, pay my minimal taxes for now, apply for and accept all government assistance for which I am eligible, and in short, become a good socialist. I do not want the headaches of being a capitalist or innovator or small-business person under these new conditions. What time I have left is going to more productive spending it with my family, and friends, and not jousting at windmills.

 

My advice to SMB owners all over the country is the same: sell while you can, get what you can for your business, and then take a non-managerial position and use the profits of your business to supplement your income while spending your time with family and just enjoying life. Let the government provide you with extra spending money in the form of "stimulus checks" and EIC (earned income credit) while you ensure your income is below the levels which make you eligible for these hand-outs.

 

Is this a defeatist mindset? Am I advocating "giving up?" No! I am just suggesting that in this environment of big government, spending and growing centralization, SMB ownership is not a good use of one's time or effort. Maybe in the future it will change, but do not plague yourself with increasing time and effort wasted to make it as a business owner providing employment for an increasingly shrill employee-base bent on demanding the same benefits and perks that you get for being a risk taker. Close your business, fire your employees, and work for minimum wage and come home each night knowing that you are now a "good cog in the socialist framework" of the future USSA.

 

The USA is now unable to right itself, and to continue to fight against the prevailing wind is only a waste of time and effort. Like many SMB (small-medium sized business) owners, we will let the government control the economy along with its "too big to fail" corporations. Working just to give over 60% back to the government just does not seem a prudent expenditure of time and effort. I want to spend time prudently and now its time to rethink how entrepreneurial effort will be valued in the USSA.

 

I will soon be going to spend time as an apprentice with an Amish family in central Ohio; to learn the concepts of "non-powered" carpentry, living from and on the land, and in condensation, simplifying my life from the high tech, high finance drudgery it has been. I am going to reduce "my void" as I call it (see my personal blog on fixing yourself : http://youcanbefixed.blogspot.com ) for more information on the concept of the personal void.

 

Predictions for the USA under Stimulus 2009

My prediction on the ARRA 2009, or Obamilus 2009 as I call it, will be that it will cause the country to slip further into economic depressive profiles, but the White House and Congressional leadership will find a way to blame the Republicans paving the way for more such overreaching bills in the future. The USA is truly becoming the USSA before our eyes much more quickly than even I could have envisioned.

 

America, you will now get what you voted for, and I hope its what you wanted. I am not angry at those that voted for BHO and his now-Republican supported SMDC. The democratic process worked in the election of 2008, and I accept that reality. What I will not accept is the direction and manner in which the SMDC and BHO are taking and using to get their agenda pushed into place.

 

Why can't the BHO administration and SMDC adhere to the normal process of appropriations creation, hearings, public comment, and debate before passage of the largest spending bill in the history of the world? What are they afraid of? What is in this now soon-to-be law that would scare the public if the light of day were to shine on it? Why did they want to print it in the dead of night, limit debate to a mere 12 hours on over 1000 pages of sometime hand-written changes, non-computerized non-searchable document releases, and then chastise the opposition for opposing it? When legislation is accomplished in this manner, it makes me leery of the content and outcome.

 

However, I am not one for crying over the proverbial "spilt milk." BHO and his SMDC have the votes to pass anything they want, they have, and they did. Fait Accompli! Jousting at windmills is a poor use of my limited time.

 

Spending the most precious commodity of time wisely is what pre-occupies my time and thoughts in an environment hostile to personal achievement. Future generations will have to right this ship of state since I do not believe America can be fixed, and my time is better spent elsewhere.

 

I will blog occasionally as the spirit leads, but I am not going to spend more blogging time on my personal efforts blog (http://youcanbefixed.blogspot.com) chronicling my journey towards helping myself and others deal with a different country and the impact it will have on our collective futures.

 

See you over there.

 

BHO's Stimulus 2009 has passed!

Based on a complete lack of legislative integrity, the SMDC (with the help of 3 Republican Senators) passed an over 1000 page so-called stimulus bill that will now become law upon the signature of BHO. The only saving grace in this fiasco was that one party almost completely spurned its enactment. Now time will tell who is right, and who gets blamed.

 

Those that support this emergency spending bill will have to explain why it did not provide for infrastructure, stimulus, and job creation when it falls flat on its face over the next 12-18 months. The CBO (Congressional Budget Office) says that its a boondoggle and over 75% of its expenditures will not occur until 2010-2019 fiscal years! This is NOT stimulative, but as Mr. Emanuel stated:

 

"“Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste, they are opportunities to do big things.”

 

Should it shock anyone that BHO is now making the crisis the solution in order to do things that his administration would never be able to do without fighting for each appropriation in the normal course of Congressional process? Probably not since it was sold under the banner of an "emergency spending" provision which short-circuits the normal debate and hearings procedures. Is this not wasting a good crisis?

 

Add to that the Bush-43 assistance in this matter which gave the BHO and the SMDC the excuse for cover by saying "they started it!", and we have the makings of a complete breakdown of normal governmental checks and balances. Jefferson warned about the dangers of public debt, and it appears from the annals of our history, he is becoming quite the sage.

 

Between the "unholy three: BHO, Pelosi, and Reid", and the SMDC including the 3 Republican senatorial turn-coats (Spector, Snowe, and Collins) will now have to deal with the success or failure of this spending bill. They can not blame anyone but themselves since Republicans almost to the last person voted against it. Again, I hope it will fail since its success will complete the process of turning the USA into the USSA -- something that I can not agree nor support.

 

 

 

 

Another Hollywood celebrity speaks and embarrasses himself

Upon watching Mr. Richard Belzer's performance on the Hannity show last night, I again am reminded by allowing such Hollywood so-called intellectuals as Mr. Belzer another venue for his uninformed opinions shows how little self-respect we have for truly smart people.

 

Mr. Belzer repeated several times that he was Jeffersonian in his beliefs, blah blah blah, yaddah yaddah, yaddah... He completely misunderstands his "hero" in that Thomas Jefferson was one of the most ardent opponents to forcing people to support projects based on principles then did not believe in.  In his own words, Mr. Jefferson stated:

 

"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical."

If Mr. Belzer had done his homework which very few Hollywood types do, he would have chosen not to use Jefferson has his statue of "free-thinking liberalism" since he clearly shows he knows very little of how the real Jefferson thought about an intruding government.

 

If this bill does nothing else, it does exactly what Jefferson warned about in the above quotation. Mr. Belzer would be more respected as someone to listen to if he did a little bit of research, and not rely mostly on his glib, polished TV persona.

 

Wake up, people, why listen to anyone that claims as their right to address the American people that they are Hollywood celebrities. These people are absolute clueless about what is best for the country; they have morphed into "citizens of the world" since much of their revenues is now generated overseas. They want a weak US so they can travel the world without feeling they have to apologize for their country. Be strong, Mr. Belzer, have character and be willing to admit you are a closet socialist.

 

And, by the way, only market-driven economies based on fiscal conservative principles have survived the collective natures of socialism. Please do your own homework.

 

 

 

Where is the USA on the "cycle of nations?"

Having been asked this question many times, I will now attempt to answer it so that this blog can move forward into the problems it is attempting to highlight about the current USA and its most likely forward progress.

Without exception the founding fathers were most timid about the possibility of putting into place an institution of government that would ultimately grow to become as ominous as the regal despot they had just fought to remove from their lives. Thomas Jefferson was the most vocal opponent of a growing federalism and the private intrusion to which it would be the catalyst.

Mr. Jefferson was particularly insistent that once the republic's citizenry found a way to vote themselves money, it would mark the end of the republic. He raised this issue in a letter to a Mr. William Plumer, dated July 21, 1816, where Jefferson bemoaned:

"I, however, place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared."

Jefferson was aware that public debt would be the quickest method to end the republic along with its virtues and capabilities. One of his co-revolutionist, Ben Franklin wrote,

“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”

The 16th-17th amendments to the US Constitution began this move towards the "populist raiding" of the US Treasury. I suggest that you do your own homework about these amendments.

We are living in the times where the 18th century political philosopher, Alexander Tyler postulated that every nation goes through a cycle of 9 circular stages: bondage --> spiritual faith --> courage --> liberty --> abundance --> selfishness --> complacency --> apathy --> dependence --> back to bondage.

Can you guess where the USA is on this circle? I can...

A letter from a US boss to his employees

I saw this little "temper tantrum" missive from a fictitious boss to his employees. While I doubt if it was written by a real employer to his employees since it is too well written, it, however, is very appropriate given the passage of the $800 Billion "stimulus 2009" bill that not one of the Congress people who voted in favor of it READ! TJ's (that's Thomas Jefferson) words about when the republic would end are never more apropos. Enjoy it as I did.

To All My Valued Employees,

There have been some rumblings around the office about the future of this company, and more specifically, your job. As you know, the economy has changed for the worse and presents many challenges. However, the good news is this: The economy doesn’t pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is the changing political landscape in this country. However, let me tell you some little tidbits of fact which might help you decide what is in your best interests.

 First, while it is easy to spew rhetoric that casts employers against employees, you have to understand that for every business owner there is a Back Story. This back story is often neglected and overshadowed by what you see and hear. Sure, you see me park my Mercedes outside. You’ve seen my big home at last years Christmas party. I’m sure; all these flashy icons of luxury conjure up some idealized thoughts about my life.

However, what you don’t see is the BACK STORY: I started this company 28 years ago. At that time, I lived in a 300 square foot studio apartment for 3 years. My entire living apartment was converted into an office so I could put forth 100% effort into building a company, which by the way, would eventually employ you. My diet consisted of Ramen Pride noodles because every dollar I spent went back into this company. I drove a rusty Toyota Corolla with a defective transmission. I didn’t have time to date. Often times, I stayed home on weekends, while my friends went out drinking and partying.

In fact, I was married to my business: hard work, discipline, and sacrifice. Meanwhile, my friends got jobs. They worked 40 hours a week and made a modest $50K a year and spent every dime they earned. They drove flashy cars and lived in expensive homes and wore fancy designer clothes. Instead of hitting the Nordstrom’s for the latest hot fashion item, I was trolling through the discount store extracting any clothing item that didn’t look like it was birthed in the 70’s. My friends refinanced their mortgages and lived a life of luxury. I, however, did not. I put my time, my money, and my life into a business with a vision that eventually, some day, I too, will be able to afford these luxuries my friends supposedly had.

So, while you physically arrive at the office at 9am, mentally check in at about noon, and then leave at 5pm, I don’t. There is no “off” button for me. When you leave the office, you are done and you have a weekend all to yourself. I unfortunately do not have the freedom. I eat, and breathe this company every minute of the day. There is no rest. There is no weekend. There is no happy hour. Every day this business is attached to my hip like a 1 year old special-needs child. You, of course, only see the fruits of that garden — the nice house, the Mercedes, the vacations… you never realize the Back Story and the sacrifices I’ve made.

Now, the economy is falling apart and I, the guy that made all the right decisions and saved his money, have to bail-out all the people who didn’t. The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed a decade of my life for. Yes, business ownership has its benefits but the price I’ve paid is steep and not without wounds. Unfortunately, the cost of running this business, and employing you, is starting to eclipse the threshold of marginal benefit and let me tell you why: I am being taxed to death and the government thinks I don’t pay enough. I have state taxes. Federal taxes. Property taxes. Sales and use taxes. Payroll taxes. Workers compensation taxes. Unemployment taxes. Taxes on taxes. I have to hire a tax man to manage all these taxes and then guess what? I have to pay taxes for employing him. Government mandates and regulations and all the accounting that goes with it, now occupy most of my time.

On Oct 15th, I wrote a check to the US Treasury for $288,000 for quarterly taxes. You know what my “stimulus” check was? Zero. Nada. Zilch.  The question I have is this: Who is stimulating the economy? Me, the guy who has provided 14 people good paying jobs with a flourishing business? Or, the single mother sitting at home pregnant with her fourth child waiting for her next welfare check? Obviously, government feels the latter is the economic stimulus of this country.

The fact is, if I deducted (Read: Stole) 50% of your paycheck you’d quit  and you wouldn’t work here. I mean, why should you? That’s nuts. Who wants to get rewarded only 50% of their hard work? Well, I agree which is why your job is in jeopardy. Here is what many of you don’t understand: to stimulate the economy you need to stimulate what runs the economy.

Had suddenly the government mandated to me that I didn’t need to pay taxes, guess what? Instead of depositing that $288,000 into the Washington black-hole, I would have spent it, hired more employees, and generated substantial economic growth. My employees would have enjoyed the wealth of that tax cut in the form of promotions and better salaries. But you can forget it now.

When you have a comatose man on the verge of death, you don’t defibrillate and shock his thumb thinking that will bring him back to life, do you? Or, do you defibrillate his heart? Business is at the heart of America and always has been. To restart it, you must stimulate it, not kill it. Suddenly, the power brokers in Washington believe the poor of America are the essential drivers of the American economic engine. Nothing could be further from the truth and this is the type of change you can keep.

So where am I going with all this? It’s quite simple. If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, my reaction will be swift and simple. I fire you. I fire your co-workers. You can then plead with the government to pay for your mortgage, your SUV, and your child’s future. Frankly, it isn’t my problem any more. Then, I will close this company down, move to another country, and retire.

You see, I’m done. I’m done with a country that penalizes the productive and gives to the unproductive. My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed, and with it, will be my citizenship. So, if you lose your job, it won’t be at the hands of the economy; it will be at the hands of a political hurricane that swept through this country, steamrolled the constitution, and will have changed its landscape forever. If that happens, you can find me sitting on a beach, retired, and with no employees to worry about…. Signed, THE BOSS

What the future holds for the USA-USSA

As I am made aware of this abomination called the "American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009" or HR-1 or "Stimulus 2009", or any other of several monikers you may prefer, I am beginning to realize that this Congress and White House are going to take the country on a similar post-1929 journey resulting in similar outcomes. The country will move deeper and deeper into a recession that will give way to a depression with double digit unemployment, high GDP contraction, trade repercussions, all compounded by at first deflation and then hyper-inflation due to the monetization of the spending now being called "Stimulus."

The big difference with 1929-1932 is that we are doing this over the period of months instead of years. The collapse will begin with the drying up of the foreign purchase of US debt as China, Japan, and Arabia lose interest in our debt instruments. Without the ability to sell our debt, the FRS (Federal Reserve System) will have to begin eating its own debt offerings. This is similar to a dog eating its own feces-- a malady called "coprophagy" (sorry about the analogy, but its the best I could provide to show the complete lack of financial responsibility of the US Government).

 

Sooner or later the taste or our own debt will sour the appetite of even the Fed and this house of proverbial cards will come down catapulting the recession into a full-blown depression, but this time, the US Government will have used all its bullets and the US will enter the same "lost decade" that plagued the Japanese during the 1990's.

 

With the passage of this "Stimulus 2009" bill, the future of the US will be sealed as the real purpose of this spending/payback bill will become known thereby completely dissolving any trust the US population has in its government. If the depression become deep enough, it could lead to the 2nd American Revolution as the government and the governed cross swords.

 

Many don't believe it will come to this, but when people lose hope followed by the ever increasing inability to support their families, the subsequent "21st century Boston Tea Party" will occur followed by the population's physical repudiation of the government's ineffectiveness and incompetence.

 

It will not be just the Democrats that will suffer this attention, but Republicans as well since it was the Republicans that began this malaise under the inept direction of Bush-43; however, BHO and his SMDC will have to take their share of the blame as their actions, like FDR's, only served to increase the severity of Hoover's post-1929 policies.

 

Sorry to describe the future of the US, but its probably now 75/25 that the above scenario will play out over the next few years. Pass this on to your friends, family, and acquaintances. Only by knowing what will likely happen can one be prepared to survive this reality.

 

Why I want the Democrats to fail

As we begin this new evolution of the USA towards the USSA (United Socialists States of America), one has to ask himself if this metamorphosis is what he wants for his country, and if not, what can he do about it? In a democracy the majority, now the liberal/socialists, have the ability to control the direction of this country for at least the next 2 years putting into action their agenda and policies. How far will they be able to move, how far will they be able to implement their agenda depends on those that disagree with these policies.

 

Remember our founding fathers warned us of these exact problems.

 

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." George Washington.

 

"When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." Benjamin Franklin

Thomas Jefferson's many quotations about the "tyranny over the mind's of men..." show his feelings towards government gaining too much control over "the people."

 

However, be careful when trying to decide just who is the people, and wh witho speaks for the people. This can be the point where the State tries to usurp control via this cry, "I am the people..." To this end, the 19th century legal philosopher and writer, Lysander Spooner, stated,

 

"State is the name of the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly it lies; and this lie slips from its mouth: "I, the state, am the people." Lysander Spooner

 

It's no wonder that Mr. Spooner's writings are banned in China.

 

So since BHO stated rather emphatically, "I won. So I think on that one, I trump you." This pretty much states his position on how he intends to govern, and that's why I can say that BHO is NOT my President, and I don't wish him to succeed since if he does, it will not be my country when he is done with it.

 

Universal health care starts with Stimulus 2009

Last year I blogged about the 10 issues that BHO and the SMDC would move to accomplish in order to move the country into a more socialistic model, and now its time to inspect the actions taken in these early days of this liberal administration. First, to refresh your memory, here is the list of the 10 items from last year.

 

Tucked into the recently US Senate amended HR-1 "Stimulus Bill" is the creation of a "health czar" that will make sure the government's policies are being protected first by setting up the initial requirement for socialized medicine:

 

the creation of a government run medical records database for "every person in the United States" (see pg 244 of the Senate amended HR-1)

This database will begin the initial reach of the government into the control of medical decisions for "every person in the United States". Also notice that it says, "every person in the United States" not "every citizen..." This paves the way for universal health care for everyone not just citizens.

 

So we have now the initial steps of Issue #1 being put into place.

 

 

Predictions of 2009 movement towards socialistic formations

Sorry I have been pre-occupied with other things going on in my life to worry about what is going on in Washington DC since it appears that BHO will get what he wants and we will just have to hope that it work out for the best.

 

As someone that believes in "The Creator" since believing in Darwinism, the Big Bang, and Atheism is just plain silly due to the amount of "suspension of disbelief" necessary to accept these theories, I am prepared to allow the Divinity His way with the history of our world. It is the one thing that prevents me from really being depressed over how our country has moved from a force for good towards a whimper for "the so-so."

 

BHO and his SMDC will only be allowed to go so far before the citizenry understands that trading freedoms for government intervention in all aspects of their lives is not worth the value received. It may take some time, and it may not be reversible, but it will happen unless one event occurs: the majority of the American voting public is living off the backs of the wealthier minority. If or when this occurs, the country will slow sink into socialism and finally 3rd world status since it can only sustain an innovative and vibrant economy when everyone is working and carrying their share of the financial burdens demanded of a capitalistic-based economy.

 

No socialistic (the economic infrastructure) of Fascism, Communism, and Marxism (the political part of the equation) has survived without major political change whereby the personal freedoms of those being governed are subordinated to the best interest of the government. There will be small factions of resistance to these changes, but it will be the financial crisis that finally puts a nail in the coffin of the American dream.

 

Unions will continue to demand their "unsustainable" wage and benefit profiles especially the government employees unions that will bankrupt state after state, municipality after municipality, and city after city with their every increasing piece of the taxpayer treasury. When the local and state governments are over whelmed, they will seek increasing federal participation (with strings attached of course) to the point where those in Kansas will be paying for the mistakes in California and New York.

 

Liberal welfare programs will continue to addict the non-tax paying portion of the population to a point of demanding more and more government payments from a dwindling tax-paying minority to where innovation, entrepreneurship, and growth are stopped as is the case in all socialistic-oriented economies. Those that are working finally realize that it's not worth the effort to be innovative when the government is going to take 70-80% to pay for those that just vote for their welfare and transfer payments. Once this transformation takes place, the federal government has to take over and become "the state." Whether the government becomes Fascist, Communistic, or Marxist is simply a matter of who is power when the population finally gives up.

 

Here's the most likely outcome: if liberals are in power at "tipping point", then the government is very likely to become a form of Communism-light based on atheism, and total government control in the form of centralized planning. If conservatives are in power at TP (tipping point), then the government will most likely become Fascist since Fascism combines the government with big business to run the state. Finally, a combination of the two would likely produce a more Marxist form of government that takes the central planning of Communism with the elevation of the state to the only political entity while allowing some personal freedoms in religion and thinking.

 

Just some thoughts to begin your 2009 with during this period of major changes. Watch for two things that are already beginning to occur: the removal of the secret ballot in unionization events, and the increase spending of the federal government to cover all areas of public and personal life. These 2 events will signal the move towards the collapse of the capitalistic, free-market operation of the US economy, a prolonged recession into 2010-2011, and an increased demand for federal government intervention in every increasing areas of what was once private matters.

 

More later.

 

It's 2009 and America still CAN'T be FIXED!

Happy New Year, America. During my holiday hiatus, I was constantly looking for things that would make me alter my contention that American CAN'T be fixed back to my original contention that it indeed could pull itself out of the direction into which the nation has thrust itself.

 

Sadly, I only found more indications that America is on a self-destruction journey from which I believe the public character no longer exists to alter the unfortunate outcome. Let me list of these indications that I saw during the holiday season:

 

1. The fight over Christmas is probably the best indication that we have become, as Mr. Philip K. Howard called us, a "nation of enemies."
2. The Al Franken win of the MN Senate seat after one of the most corrupted ballot counting process in recent memory even superseding the infamous 2000 Bush-Gore Presidential election.
3. The ongoing IL governor/US Senate choice to replace BHO is destined to be discussed in political science seminars for decades.
4. The Bernie Madoff $50 Billion USD Ponzi scheme where he keep it going for now what appears to be decades while snowing all the regulatory agencies in his wake.
5. The Israeli-Hamas conflict that went into actual war footing over this past weekend with the world condemning of Israel for their attack while Israel is trying to stop the missile attacks from Gaza while the US government remains eerily quiet in supporting Israel.
6. Gov. Bill Richardson's dropping off the BHO cabinet nominee due to grand jury indictments.
7. The stimulus package vultures have begun to circle trying to get their piece of the now $1 Trillion USD package reportedly being defined in the halls of Congress.
8. CA Gov and AG have both announced they are working to overturn the 3 democratic vote on disallowing gay marriages in CA. The rule of law no longer means anything.
9. US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he has "legal authority" to bar Burris from taking the contested IL Senate seat while allowing the Al Franken MN Senate seat abortion to produce Senator Franken.
10. Democratic strategist James Carville now predicted a streak of Democratic political scandals for 2009.

 

These were just the top news items that seemed to show that America is moving down its road of self-destruction and lack of moral character. This process will pick up speed as the "normal citizen" soon realizes that the main result of this journey is the "Death of the American Dream" which I will blog about in my next post.
