King Obama?

I have been doing quite a bit of reading lately and it has caused me to start thinking a lot about our freedoms in this country and how they have been repeatedly trampled and are slowly being eroded. I personally am tired of our President “Alleged” setting himself up as a sort of king that is able to dictate policy against the will of “WE THE PEOPLE!”

[By the way, the definition of Alleged is “Represented as existing or as being as described but not so proved; supposed.” – so it fits perfectly with a guy who has spent almost $ 1.4 million (not including actions taken by the United States Department of Justice on your tax-dime) to keep his birth certificate concealed. You know what a birth certificate is, right? It’s that tiny little piece of paper that is given out by the hospital to certify that a live birth has occurred on such-and-such date and in such-and-such place. It’s a pesky little thing that proves your eligibility to hold the office of President of these United States… but whatever.]

Anyway, during a bit of inspiration (however brief) I decided that I should compile a list of complaints that would point out many of the abuses of power that have been going on in our country.

1. He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.

2. He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

3. He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

4. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation.

5. He has imposed taxes on us without our consent.

6. He has taken away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments.

7. He has suspended our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

OK… so I have a confession to make… this isn’t really “my list.” It was written in the summer of 1776 and is contained in a formal document called The Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson penned it and it was then signed by fifty-six Americans, forever changing the course of this country. It was written as a first step to throwing off the chains of tyranny imposed on a free people by King George III.

They began their letter of complaint with “When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

Am I suggesting that the time has come to dissolve the political bands? Is it time to start over? I’m not sure… but one thing I am sure of is that I will be seriously researching the purchase of land in the great State Country of Texas.

Back to the complaint: “We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.”

Our founding fathers chose to end their letter of complaint by appealing to our Heavenly Father. They knew what signing that document meant for them, they knew the struggle that lay ahead… and most assuredly, they knew that He was the only One that could help.

Congratulations, Mr. President...


Mr. President,

Congratulations on your victory tonight, it seems that you were successful in passing the most Socialist government power-grab, to date. I am very interested to find out what kind of "change" you hope to accomplish next.

You claim to love and support this great country of ours but we see through the smoke. We know what you are doing and what you really are all about. Your true mission is very clear. There isn't a bone in your body that cares about anything in this country beyond what what you can SPEND and CONTROL! You are an absolute Marxist to the core. Congressman Joe Wilson (among many others) was right about you... you are a LIAR! ... come to think of it... hold on a moment, Mr. President........... there... I'm back... had to donate more money to Wilson's reelection fund.

Anyway, I am sure that tonight, as I write this, you celebrate... no doubt you may be attending an over priced (tax-payer funded) event, along with the rest of the talking heads and gas bags that make up your inner circle... but Mr. President, I would caution you that you shouldn't be too quick to celebrate, because a fact that you may not realize is that you and your cronies have also sealed your reelection fate. I know you said that this was something you hoped to accomplish during your first term as President... and it seems that you have, however, I am one of many, many TRUE Americans who is dedicated to making sure that it is your ONLY term as President!

Please feel free to contact me should you find any of this unclear... I understand completely that "Community Organizers" often times have trouble with common sense.

Sincerely,
Jason Jasper

P.S. Just thought I would give you a heads-up... Joe The Plumber and I are thinking of running on a 2012 ticket.

Bin Laden appears weakened in new message...

I think there are several people who owe President Bush an apology... but instead they will probably take credit once we've captured/killed Bin Laden... but that's the Dems. for ya!

Bin Laden appears weakened in new message: analysts
By Acil Tabbara (AFP) – 8 hours ago

DUBAI — Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden appears to be a man weakened under pressure in his latest message, which is addressed directly to the American people, analysts said on Monday.

In the message released to mark the eighth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States that killed almost 3,000 people, bin Laden urged Americans to pressure the White House to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Titled "Message to the American People," the video -- released by the As-Sahab media branch of Al-Qaeda -- features a still image of bin Laden and an audio statement, said the Intel Center US monitoring group.

In the message bin Laden says that US President Barack Obama is "powerless"... (click here to read full article)

Bill Would Give President Emergency Control of Internet

by Declan McCullagh

Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet.

They're not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency.

The new version would allow the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and do what's necessary to respond to the threat. Other sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for "cybersecurity professionals," and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license.

"I think the redraft, while improved, remains troubling due to its...

Ronald Reagan speaks out against socialized medicine (way back in 1961!)

From the 1961 Operation Coffee Cup Campaign against Socialized Medicine as proposed by the Democrats, then a private citizen Ronald Reagan Speaks out against socialized medicine. There is no video because this was an LP sent out by the American Medical Association.

Wisdom from Ludwig Von Mises...

"Socialism is not in the least what it pretends to be. It is not the pioneer of a better and finer world, but the spoiler of what thousands of years of civilization have created. It does not build; it destroys. For destruction is the essence of it. It produces nothing, it only consumes what the social order based on private ownership in the means of production has created... each step leading towards Socialism must exhaust itself in the destruction of what already exists."

Obama's Idea of Justice

Obama's Idea of Justice
by Patrick J. Buchanan
05/29/2009


When you think about it, Sonia Sotomayor is the perfect pick for the Supreme Court -- in Barack Obama's America.

Like Obama, himself a beneficiary of affirmative action, she thinks "Latina women," because of their life experience, make better judicial decisions than white men, that discrimination against white men to advance people of color is what America is all about, that appellate courts are "where policy is made" in the United States.

To those who believe the depiction of our first Hispanic justice as an anti-white liberal judicial activist, hearken to her own words.

Speaking at Berkeley in 2001, Sonia told her audience, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion (as a judge) than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

Imagine if Sam Alito had said at Bob Jones University, "I would hope that a wise white male with the richness of his life experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a Hispanic woman, who hasn't lived that life."

Alito would have been...Click here to continue reading Pat Buchanan's column.

President Obama

There are so many things I want to write about... but in my current mood... I don't think now is such a good time. I started jotting notes and upon review realized that it wouldn't be a good idea as many of them would come across sounding angry, disappointed... and possibly even racist (depending on the reader).

I'll just leave you with a quote I heard many years ago:

"When I was a child I thought that anyone could be president... now I believe it."
