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.

 

 

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. ;-)

 

 

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Have a great Thanksgiving, folks. I will be taking the next few days off from blogging. Will be keeping the eyes out for more interesting news to which I will apply my perspective.

 

While it is snowing quite heavily here in the Northeast, it is the time of the year when regardless of political or partisan views, we can all be thankful for what we have been given and be willing to share with those that are less fortunate than us. We don't have to wait for the government or others, we can do things for others within our frame of life. That is where charity is most efficient and direct.

 

I wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving, and I will be back on the blogisphere come Friday. The next few days I will simply relax and enjoy the wonders of nature and the beauty of life.

 

Take care, all.

 

The next shoe to drop is Citibank!

And the beat goes on....

 

Citigroup has now become the next AIG to declare its unfitness to continue as an American institution. It has turned itself over to the US Government for AIG-style treatment including another $20 Billion USD and up to $300 Billion USD in toxic paper (remember its only toxic due to the Government's mark-to-market rule).

 

If I was the Big-3/UAW I would be screaming for fair treatment under the Amendment 14 wording. However, it is probably going to be a big political mess since the members of Congress from MI are going to be yelling, but everyone else is still very cool to the idea of a bail-out for Detroit.

 

This mess is continuing only because the Bush-43 administration WILL NOT cancel the mark-to-market ruling and, oh well, go see my previous post about solutions to this financial crisis. It is not impossible, just a bit of thinking and non-political dealing will solve this problem.

 

I don't know why the Bush-43 SEC/FASB will NOT revoke the mark-to-market rule that is causing most of this problem. Unbelievable, but BHO's ideas are not going to solve the problems either from what we are hearing. He is simply saying he is going to create 2.5 million new jobs (no details), he is going to deal with this financial crisis (no details), and get the economy back on track (no details).

 

He is now the President-elect and has yet to offer much of anything in the way of details of how he will deal with this issue which his group are blaming entirely on the Bush-43 team without any comment about how the Democrats in the 109-110th Congress stopped the oversight of the GSE's (Fannie and Freddie) due to the amount of lobbying money they were receiving from these particular mortgage companies.

 

Democratic assignments for the 111th show left bias!

The Democratic Caucus installed Rep. Henry Waxman as the Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce committee shows where the new Congress is heading. The Republicans that have saying not to worry about how far left this White House and Congress can go had better wake up and see the baby steps that are falling.

 

Rep. Waxman is one of the most rabid environmentalist-nutjobs in the Congress, and to make him the head of the House committee that overseas House legislative initiatives for energy and commerce??? Why are the Democrats putting members in committee chair positions that hate the oversight area they are suppose to regulate and control?

 

Examples:

Rep. Barney Frank, Chairs the House Financial Services committee, is a socialist and rabid anti-capitalist.

 

Rep. Henry Waxman, Chairs the House Energy & Commerce committee, is a environmentalist that believes the US should completely swear-off anything oil-based. (His own words in an interview on MSNBC)

 

Sen. John Kerry, Chairs the Senate Small Business committee, is husband of the hier to the Heinz Food fortune, how small business is this?

 

Sen. Pat Leahy, Chairs the Senate Judiciary committee, is from the state of VT that hands out 3-4 month sentences for child molesters and lets convicted pedophiles to continue their craft while declaring them "rehabilitated."

 

and the list goes on and on...

 

What to see where this 111th Congress is going? Watch the players being placed into key positions of power and prestige. It will not be hard to figure it out.

 

Problems and solutions to Financial Crisis of 2008

Listening to the financial talking heads yell and scream about what is wrong with the economy, should the US Government bail-out the Big-3/UAW folks, should we distribute wealth, should we allow employees to lose the right to a secret ballot, or should everyone be guaranteed a living wage (yes, I heard that proposition being thrown around on MSNBC)?

 

To me, its unbelievable that we don't understand how we got into this problem and how we can get out of it without mortgaging our future. Let me see if I can explain it one more time.

 

First, we got into this problem because of over 30 years (beginning with the CRA of 1977) of government attempting to social engineer the US society. The Great Society was an extension of the FDR "New Deal", and when it didn't move fast enough, liberals figured out that they had to write specific legislation, not blanket conceptual, "feel-good" bills.

 

Second, the Federal Reserve has been willing to use its monetary policies via the FOMC interest rate actions to attempt to stop the capitalistic cycles that this economy goes through instead of helping us to understand that we need to prepare to for "years of lean."

 

Third, legislative welfare from those entities being regulated to get Congress to look the other way has caused the whole financial crisis ball to get rolling.

 

So what are the solutions?

 

1. Revoke the "mark-to-market" ruling and Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 immediately. This was not regulation, but extremely OVER-REGULATION that were prime example of LOUC (law of unintended consequences). Cost: $0

 

2. Backup all US depository accounts with FDIC-type insurance, not just the first $100,000.00. Cost: $0 since insurance paid for by insured institution based on credit rating.

 

3. Demand normalized mortgage underwriting standards of 10-15% down payment, income verification, and load-to-value limits. Cost: $0

 

4. For mortgages already underwater (a negative loan-to-value ratio), extend the mortgage term and stabilize the interest rate in exchange for future equity participation. Cost: $0

 

The problems are not impossible, nor are the solutions if one just stops to think and doesn't panic like the US Government did in October. The Bush-43 administration while it inherited the seeds of this financial crisis, they did everything possible to germinate and grow it into the global mess it is now. All US political parties are to blame as much as greedy corporate managers and incompetent state and local politicians who both couldn't manage their ways out of a wet paper bag.

 

The next stage of human formation is coming

The BHO agenda will make it easier for the USA to become member of the global community which is the long term goals for leftists in the US. The best way to diminish the USA is to ensure that its becomes subject to the will of the global community most likely the UN or what will replace it.

 

The metamorphosis of the UN into a single, global government is in the works. The global financial crisis is the "shoe horn" that will help establish this new entity's reach and credentials by forcing countries to relinquish their financial sovereignty in order to survive. Remember the warnings of imminent global meltdown if we didn't do something? These warnings will continue until most countries are forced to become members of this new financial reorganization.

 

It's coming. Watch for signs. I am not trying to scare, but educate. The flow of events of our times have signs, warnings, and consequences. It makes sense to understand how events work together and prepare the world for the events that must happen for an ending of the era of single countries, nations, and formations into a single world government and justice system.

 

During the Cold War with two major opposing factions controlling the current events, it would have been near impossible for a world government to take control. The UN was simply a puppet for impotent 3rd world countries to feel that they had a voice in the global community. The nuclear powers were still the ones in control with little fear of losing that power.

 

When the USSR (Soviet Union) went out of business in 1989, the USA became the sole superpower and that was dangerous for most liberal-minded people in this country that are more "citizens of the world" than USA citizens. They want to be liked in all the countries they visit for vacations; they don't want the stigma of the "Ugly American" which is funny because they were the cause of most of that epitaph by their throwing around their US money and status. I have seen it first hand.

 

BHO has stated that he is going to shut down Guantanamo Bay prison, stop building/repairing our nuclear weapons stockpile, reduce our military by 25% (Barney Frank), and make the UN a world recognizable, and revered political organization.

 

Do not take my word for it. You have time to watch for these events, but just don't let the small things get lost along way to the bigger horizon. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The USA will not change overnight, it will take time. This blogger will be here to point out the small steps.

 

 

 

BHO's background is key to his future

BHO education and training under his socialist mentors most notably Saul Alinsky will eventually come out since one's background is not so easily shed in adulthood. Remember the Biblical admonition about a child's training and "departing from it" is not the normal course of adult behavior.

 

BHO has so far been right on target using the Alinksy tactics of "ridicule and agitate" by poking fun at conservative fears over his supposed socialistic ideals. He then releases his supporters behind the scene to allow his deniability. Don't get me wrong, I admire BHO in that he knows how to be political and covert. This is another one of Alinsky's tactics of misdirection to obscure the radical's true socialist beliefs.

 

The real indication of BHO's intentions are coming from the people he is nominating for his key positions. These underlings are going to be foot soldiers in BHO's march towards the left. Yes, he will have be crafty and slow about his agenda, but he will try and loll the public into complacency by dealing with the economy. Behind the scenes he will be working his magic and moving slowing towards two major goals:

• establishment of "economic justice" by using the current economic crisis as cover
• establishment of "legal justice" by appointment of life-term leftist jurists

 

The accomplishment of these goals will have lasting impacts on the USA future and potential.

 

Beginning of the week tidbits and market notes

Taking yesterday off after all the posting over the past few days, I am back with some of the tidbits of news and events that are shaping our world along with my comments and perspective that you may find interesting regardless if you agree with them.

 

The Employee Free Choice Act (denial of secret ballot to employees) is on tap for passage after OD (Obama Day) which is the new calendar accounting process. PO (pre-Obama) before that Jan. 20, 2009 event. Have to go with the crazies, right? If you can't beat them with rights then beat them by removing their rights. The loss of secret ballots for union elections should scare every American. Rights under the BHO and SMDC will begin to erode slowly but surely.

 

The Fairness Doctrine is again being resurrected and groomed to take just Conservative Talk Radio off the air after OD. This is something that many Democrats and extreme liberals are just salivating over since their ideas couldn't compete in the arena of free trade with the failure of Air America, they are going to have the government do it for them. This will be a big thud when it hits the books and BHO will quietly sign it or lose some of agenda support from the rabid leftist in control of Congress (The other 2 of the "unholy 3" as I call them: Pelosi and Reid)

 

BHO continues to flesh-out his team with ex-Clintonites and saying that "well, Lincoln did it!" If you are a student of history you will remember that it was a disaster for Lincoln, and it will be so for BHO. I predict their will be a large fight between the BHO and Clinton factions of his new administration. You can't have two groups in control.

 

Market outlook for the next week will be volatile since retail is going come out with numbers that will shock everyone with "Black Friday" this year being one of the worst in tracking history. I predict that other retails will follow Circuit City in Chapter 7, not Chapter 11 (DYH: do your homework).

 

If the Friday rally fizzles beginning with Sunday evening's future opening at 1800 EST, then next week will most likely be another leg down into new territory of lows. If the rally holds moving back over 800 then next week could be the beginning of the Santa Claus rally which is one of the highest probability patterns in stock market anneals. This says nothing about what happens after the New Year only until the end of the year.

 

 

The slippery slope of redefining marriage

The final issue in framing the gay/lesbian marriage question is whether a redefinition of marriage creates a slippery slope down which the entire concept of legal unions become null and void.

 

Think of it in this manner. If gay/lesbian marriage is allowed to exist under the definition of marriage, then the next step down the slippery slope is the legalization of all kinds of human unions:

 

• Polygamy: one man with many wives, one woman with many husbands
• "Multigamy": multiple men and women in a single union
• Incestual marriages: brother/sisters, father/daughters, mother/sons, etc.
• Marriage invitro: marriage contracts of underage boys/girls to future spouses

 

You say that one does not lead to the other, but that's not true. If gay/lesbian marriages are supported under the changed definition of marriage then it would be wrong to disallow the above forms of human unions simply because they are repugnant or that you don't believe in them.

 

Gays/lesbians would be extremely hypocritical if they opposed any of the above forms of unions. This is why the definition of marriage must remain the union of 1 man and 1 woman. Slippery slopes are usually breached and the LOUCs are then effected.

 

Remember, the gay/lesbian lifestyle is a choice not biology since if it was biological then it would have extinguished itself long ago due to the inability of homosexuality to reproduce. Only lately has medical technology allowed for the insemination of non-heterosexual unions. Before this level of medical progress, homosexuality, if indeed biological as the gay/lesbians like to asset, would have died out due to inability to procreate and continue their gene patterns responsible for their condition.

 

Sorry, can't have it both ways, folks.

 

Will of the people subject to liberal court action

California's Prop 8, the 2nd time the voters on the left coast have affirmed the definition of marriage to be the union between 1 man and 1 woman are in danger of being denied their democratic rights to alter their own government. This is a very dangerous trend because if the gay/lesbian/humanists are successful in overturning the will of the people again, then when it comes time for the federal government to overturn the "Defense of Marriage Act" the same argument could be applied to this process as well. They don't have the authority to do so.

 

This is the main reason that the liberal/left want, desire, demand, and work for the appointment of activist jurist that will overturn the will of the voters. When they can't win at the ballot box, they turn to the courts and their leftist friends on these courts to overturn what was voted on by the people. This is against every democratic principle.

 

If the courts can overturn the will of California voters, then why couldn't the courts overturn the will of the people who elected BHO? Why couldn't a case be brought to a conservative federal court that would nullify the 2008 election and proclaim McCain the President?

 

Sound crazy? Well all crazy occurrences begin with baby steps down the road of insanity. The liberal/left are forgetting one thing: political swords cut both ways, and when they are no longer in power, the sword they used to cut down their opponents is used to cut them down instead.

 

Voters under this BHO administration are going to lose freedoms, rights, and privileges beginning with the overturning of California Prop 8. All human self-determination begins with the ability to throw off governments that are not "of the people, by the people and for the people."

 

That day may be quickly approaching in the USA.

 

Private companies forced to support gay agenda

So another private company was forced to particularly support the gay/lesbian agenda. eHarmony, in face of being threatened with a massive lawsuit, chose to change their website wording and search engine to support same sex couple interests due to 1 person wanting them to do so.

 

This is the tip of the iceberg as the liberal left agenda is gaining momentum as January 20, 2009 draws closer and closer and BHO has to make good on his promises to support full integration of the gay/lesbian lifestyle into mainstream America.

 

Now I don't have any problems with sexual orientation under 2 conditions:

1. Don't use your sexual appetites define who you are
2. Limit within the limitations of your choices

 

Heterosexuals don't walk around throwing their sexuality in everyone's face, so why do homosexuals? It would seem that if you were comfortable in your own skin you would not need to have anyone affirm your lifestyle or even care if anyone agreed with your choices. Thus, it would seem that most homosexuals are just that: uncomfortable and self-conscious needing society to approve and accept their beliefs.

 

I don't care who likes my ideas, or if they even agree with me. I don't need anyone to affirm that I exist or even if they approve of my choices. Only weak-minded people seek this kind of external approval and/or affirmation. Strong-willed, self-confident people seek their own approval and self-affirmation. World-renowned psychological researcher Abraham Maslow in his 1943 ground-breaking paper, "The Theory of Human Motivation", called this level of human motivation as self-actualization.

 

Simply stated: "one who likes himself, needs no other but is complete and can give to others."
