Collins Report

On April fool’s Day 1935 Time magazine’s cover featured Louisiana Senator Huey Long because he was challenging Franklin Roosevelt for the 1936 Democrat Party nomination. Known as the Kingfish, Long was actually a devoted socialist who’s battle cry would be “share the wealth.”

To explain his plan he wrote and distributed a short book, My First Days in the White House. It talked about what Huey “Kingfish” Long would accomplish in his first 100 days as president. Those who think Barack Obama’s socialist plans for America are in any way novel might be surprised at the familiar elements of both plans.

Long wanted to appoint both Franklin Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover to his cabinet. Ironically Hoover, the man who had blundered his way into igniting the Great Depression, would serve as Secretary of Commerce. Like Obama, the Kingfish wasn’t as concerned about competence as he was about getting a “name” at his side. The economic team Obama has put together has many of the same qualities. People like Robert Rubin who are to various degrees responsible for today’s mess will serve the Obama Administration.

Huey wanted universal health care (socialized medicine), a greater federal role in
education with free college for all, (of course) and the Federal Reserve run by elected officials (read Democrat hacks as they would be today).

The jewel of Long’s plan was his “Share the wealth” tax policy that would have just as literally punished the remaining achievers in 1935 as Obama’s plan will in 2009.

By contrast Long did not attempt to call paying higher taxes “patriotic” as Obama’s idiotic Vice President Joe Biden did. Long was too smart for that. Nevertheless, the Kingfish did lay out the roadmap to socialism Obama is copying.

He wanted to cap personal wealth and strip away money above what HE thought was too much so he could “share” it with those who didn’t earn it. He would steal money from those who had it, to guarantee a minimum yearly income for every American family. He would force companies to run on 30 hour work weeks and provide a guaranteed four week vacation to every worker. The Long socialist plan would guaranty every worker would be paid enough to buy a home, a car, a radio, and “other” ordinary conveniences.

Like the Kingfish, Obama has no understanding of the how or why of macro economics. As devoted socialists both men blame capitalism for the economic problems of their time and Obama has mimicked Long in his warnings of “civil unrest” (threats to mainstream Americans who warn ‘get with the program’).

It is indeed a disturbing thought that just as Mao’s robotic followers waved copies of his Little Red Book in the faces of “reactionary pigs” we may soon see millions of ACORN workers waving newly reprinted copies of Huey Long’s My First Days in the White House in our faces as they try to “share our wealth.”

St. Louis is second only to Atlanta among the most dangerous cities in America in their size class. Lots of people get killed there.

Only Detroit and Baltimore have more crimes to frighten their citizens. With a third of Detroit’s population, St Louis has as many homicides, burglaries and robberies and twice as many rapes.

The grim truth of St. Louis can’t be ignored even by the liberal Democrats that have run the town “so well” over the last sixty years.

Of course there are strict gun control laws in St. Louis after all, they’re necessary to protect people – right?

When Missouri first tried to give honest citizens the right to carry firearms, St Louis did its best and defeated the measure. Presumably that caused plenty of triumphant liberal backslapping.

Liberal Democrat Alderman Charles Quincy Troupe thinks the town’s tough gun control laws aren’t working. He‘s telling the people in his district they should be arming themselves with guns. Other liberals who don’t want their herd of sheeple to have too much freedom are attacking him.

Predictably the new liberal Police Chief, Dan Isom is against the plan. He admitted his cops sometimes don’t even respond to some assaults, robberies and home invasions ( that’s an armed robber kicking in your door while you are sitting in your living room), but he’s is still opposed to arming honest citizens.

Without a bit of self-consciousness he said, “’Sometimes just letting the criminal commit his crime and go away is better than using a firearm that might miss once or twice.”

Troupe replied, “The community has to be ready to defend itself, because it’s clear the economy is going to get worse, and criminals are getting more bold.”

St. Louis last had a Republican mayor in 1949. Is there a connection?

It looks like things in some liberal run gulags have become so bad that even they have to admit it might be time to try some conservative answers.

In your heart you know Troupe will be ignored or made fun of until he shuts up.

People are literally running away from St. Louis. It is the fastest shrinking metropolitan area in America. With public safety in the hands of an idiotic liberal like Chief Isom is there any wonder why?

Kennesaw Georgia:180 degrees away

In 1982 when its population was just about 5,000 Kennesaw Georgia passed a law requiring every household to have a gun. Immediately thereafter, Kennesaw experienced a 74% decline in crime. The latest numbers show its 25, 000 people enjoy some of the lowest crime rates in America, with one murder, no rapes and seven robberies. Maybe liberals know they have dumbed down their victims so much they really can’t handle guns.

On the day before Christmas in 1971 the New York Times ran an article about a new “holiday” called Kwanzaa that was invented by a Black separatist named Ron Everett. Everett now uses the made up “African” name Maulana Ron Karenga to show the world he wants nothing to do with White America.

That Mr. Karenga was in a California prison doing a one to ten year stretch for illegally imprisoning and maiming two Black women he thought were plotting to kill him meant nothing to the Times. They didn’t want to talk about how their new hero had been certified as a paranoid schizophrenic by a court, so they didn’t.

Karenga calls his new “holiday” Kwanzaa, a Swahili phrase meaning “first fruits” because he maintains it is a harvest festival. The truth, however, has a very different ring. Kwanzaa is Karenga’s answer to Christmas. He would like nothing better than to see Kwanzaa actually become the “Black Christmas” he has always fantasized about.

In his 1977 book on Kwanzaa, Karenga said it “…was chosen to give a Black alternative to the existing holiday and give Blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant [White] society.”

Upon hearing of the new “holiday”, a young unknown Al Sharpton commented that Kwanzaa “would perform the valuable service of “de-whitizing” Christmas.”

The idea that Kwanzaa is a harvest festival is bogus.

Harvests don’t happen in December, not even in Karenga’s make believe version of Africa. The closest thing to a Kwanzaa like festival in Africa is the Yam Festival held yearly in Ghana and Nigeria at the beginning of August, yet Kwanzaa is celebrated each year between December 26 and January 1.

A 1978, Washington Post article included this Karenga admission about his “holiday” “People think it’s African, but it’s not. I came up with Kwanzaa because black people in this country wouldn’t celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that’s when a lot of bloods (blacks) would be partying.” Imagine if a White person had written that.

Do people want to include Kwanzaa as a “holiday” to be recognized in year end greetings among friends and acquaintances? Hardly. While just a handful of Americans of any race or color celebrate Kwanzaa, a Fox poll done in December 2007 revealed that 95% of Americans celebrate Christmas and about 1 in 3 are actually very offended when the words Happy Holiday replace Merry Christmas.

Nevertheless, “Happy Holidays” has replaced “Merry Christmas.” When Kwanzaa was no more than a malignant dream of a paranoid felon, people said Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah as they thought appropriate for a given situation. When the “traditional Kwanzaa holiday” was added to the mix, feckless merchants who would willingly celebrate Hitler’s birthday if they thought it would boost sales, folded and “Happy Holidays” grew by the year. Exactly when this happened is difficult to pinpoint, but after the Bush White House recognized Kwanzaa in 2002 the battle was lost.The election of Barack Obama, with his African name and new age secular humanism makes it less likely that Kwanzaa will run out of steam anytime soon.

How many African American Christians will ultimately be led astray by this faux Black Christmas remains to be seen. What is clear is that in this time of national crisis Kwanzaa is an obstacle to true adherence to the Judeo/Christian principles we need straighten ourselves out.

Those who are busy trading Christmas for Kwanzaa do themselves and our culture no good. Karenga’s monster will serve as a constant excuse to use “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Hanukkah.”

“Happy Holidays” will continue to make America less of a nation every time it is spoken.

George Bush has often disappointed us, but on Inauguration Day he’ll give pro lifers reason to smile.
Pro death liberal Gays are running around screaming over a parting shot at them taken by the outgoing president. The administration has enacted an executive order that shields pro lifers from being forced to participate in abortions or fertility procedures on lesbians against their consciences. That’s the good news. The better news is the order takes effect on January 20, 2009 just in time to welcome America’s most pro death president.
The Gay Community is in an uproar over this move. They are crying hysterically about the possibility of even janitors in Catholic hospitals refusing to sweep up their areas because the hospital does abortions or inseminates a lesbian. They think that would be terrible. Boo Hoo!
This order combined with Obama picking Rick Warren to officiate at his Inauguration will force Gays to put enormous pressure on him to immediately reverse this order. I hope he does. The quicker America sees the real Barack Obama the quicker we can start building the necessary coalition to defeat his agenda. An immediate reversal ought to do the trick.
Because they are amoral liberals who believe the only motivator to human behavior is money, liberal Gays will pressure their pro death buddies in the Democrat Party to pull federal funding from “offending” hospitals.
This will raise the stakes in the coming fight over the cynically named Freedom of Conscience Act (FOCA). In the Democrat’s bizzaro world, “freedom of conscience” means having no freedom of conscience because FOCA would force health providers to do abortions, even in religious hospitals. The FOCA war will start immediately, and the sooner the better. In November we lost by 7%. Can we change the minds of 4%? “Yes we can!”
The politically active gays believe Obama will reverse Bush’s order. They look forward to a victory over their enemies in the Catholic Church and the Family Research Council. They cry that Bush’s order will cost at least 44 million dollars, as if they are really concerned about the cost of government. Those who confidently predict that there will be no big showdown over the Freedom of Conscience Act (FOCA) ought to think again.
The Gay/Pro death forces are angry and disappointed with Barack Obama’s conduct so far. Asking Rick Warren to give the invocation at his Inauguration ceremonies has been more of a problem for Obama than anyone could have foreseen. Gay marriage supporters from California to New York are turning the heat up, not calming down. FOCA will not be an easy issue for Obama and with the myriad of other problems he faces, he might just “punt” and put its reversal on the shelf for a year or so. After all, the Gay/pro death crowd has no place else to go and both Obama and they know it.

1 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. 2 This was the first enrollment, when Quirin’i-us was governor of Syria. 3 And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city.4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 5 to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. 7 And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
8 And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. 10 And the angel said to them, “Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; 11 for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!”
15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 17 And when they saw it they made known the saying which had been told them concerning this child; 18 and all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 19 But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.
Merry Christmas, and peace on earth to men of goodwill.

Let us spend the day in peace and joy and be the children He wants us to be.

Liberalism is a sickness that should be laughed at and mocked. This 2008 year end roundup of stupid political correctness rules proves it. Join me in feeling superior to the nitwits who think this crap makes the world a better place.

Frightened of offending anyone, the University of Pittsburgh now allows men who “feel” they are women to move into women’s dorms with rights to shower with females and sit in the stalls next to them.

An Australian idiot has ruled Santa’s “Ho ho ho!” laugh is offensive. When stopping Down Under, Santa has to change his laugh to “Ha ha ha.”

Fishkill New York, a place named by Dutch settlers to mean “fish stream,” was recently asked by the morons in PETA to change its name to “Fishsave.”

Two reports from England show: a simpleton created an application for Air Traffic Controllers in Braille so as not to offend blind applicants; and a woman who escorts an epileptic child to school was forced to
undergo a criminal records check, to continue doing so, even though she’s the child’s Mother!

Not even other liberals are safe from being pulled down into the political correctness pit of stupidity. At Berkeley (where else?) a pack of liberals were “sitting in” to save a stand of trees and stop construction of a new athletic field. The chancellor called them racists because the new building would be used to attract “minority student athletes.”

The “student” protestors, three Latinos and a “Native American” were led by “Running Wolf” who cried that the chancellor was pitting “colored against colored.”

Of course no list of political correctness idiocy would be complete without mentioning the replacement of “Merry Christmas” with “Happy Holidays”
My friends they are wrong and we are right. Let’s laugh at them together.

The College of Alameda in California is considering suspending a student who was “caught” praying for the recovery of a sick professor. She is charged with committing, “disruptive or insulting behavior.”

A self important English professor at Cal-Riverside called having kindergarten children dress up as Pilgrims and Indians for a Thanksgiving play “dehumanizing” and serve as a “racist stereotype.” Do surprisingly she was listened to and the school capitulated and these nasty kindergartners have been stopped in their tracks – forever!

Finally, the dimwitted president of Florida Gulf Coast University chased his tail over how to celebrate the holiday season. Should there be Christmas decorations? How about Kwanzaa? “Oh my head hurts! There are so many choices!” he probably moaned. His final decision? He replaced ALL holiday celebrations with a new uplifting tradition: an “ugly sweater competition.” This one does have a happy ending. The jerk untwisted his head and brought back Christmas.

I’ll quit now while I’m ahead. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah to all!

Imagine if Barack Obama’s show biz Church was firebombed!

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

Sarah Palin’s every Sunday morning church was firebombed on December 12. After a few whispers from the phonies in the secular humanist media we have heard nothing about this crime. If an attack like this hit Barack Obama’s show business church in Chicago it would be used as a way to push Blagojevich off the front pages.

The arson should have been reported as the crime it was: an attempted murder of the five people who were inside the Wasilla Bible Church when million dollar fire was started.

The media’s silence and lack of curiosity about the fire remind us once again of the malignant bias they hold against anyone who A) is a Republican B) is a genuine Christian C) does not live on the edges of America D) hasn’t gone to an approved college E) is a hunter and F) is a pro lifer who could possibly be elected president.

Never mind that Sarah Palin is the Governor of Alaska, because she fits these categories she is an enemy of the Democrat/media establishment so this crime means nothing. The “watchdog” media wants nothing to do with Alaska unless it is to report something embarrassing about her.

This fire might have been politically motivated, but the motive is actually beside the point. We’ll never know because the media couldn’t care less. Clearly this is a bright red example of the double standard used by the Democrat controlled media.

Were it not so alarming, the media’s shameless indifference to this story would be funny. Turn the story around. Imagine if this was Barack Obama’s show biz church, the Trinity United Church of Christ where Pastor Jeremiah Wright spews his special brand of ignorance and hate for America. Would coverage have stopped even now? These people are sooooo transparent!

This story… will not be mentioned again unless an arrest is made and there is no way to connect a Democrat activist to it. If a Democrat activist is arrested for this crime, it will be smothered immediately and there will be no important coverage of it ever again.

This is another taste of what media coverage of events will be under the unFairness Doctrine. We have to win the fight against this perversion of the freedom of the press Americans have always fought for and died for. Let’s keep at the ready to fight this and other Marxist ideas held by the incoming Administration.

Since ACORN registers phony voters, one name they should use is Ebenezer Scrooge. It’s no stretch to imagine Scrooge as a registered liberal Democrat. His oft paraphrased question “ … are there no … workhouses …?” sums up the level of charitable giving among today’s liberal Democrats.
The data screams it. We’re right about them : Liberals are different from us. They’re cheap secularists who want to give our money away to make themselves feel good.
Recently Arthur Brooks found conservatives give approximately 30% more to charity than liberals contribute. A Google study showed an even larger gap. When you contribute this Christmas, remember even though conservatives already give far more than liberals “cheerfully” do, as the adults of America we have to do even more because of these cheapskates.
Studies show Bluest State, where liberal Democrats run everything are the cheapest in America. Democrats talk compassion, but don’t do compassion with their own money. Because the state is their religion, forcing others to pay “their fair share” is charity. Just released data indicates America’s five cheapest states : New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Wisconsin all voted Democrat last month.
The same survey shows the most generous Americans live in Mississippi, Arizona, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Alabama. All of whom voted Republican last month.
Predictably weekly religious service attendance in these states shows the cheapest people don’t go to services and the most generous do. Liberal Democrat Blue State attendance is substantially below the national average while conservative Republican Red State attendance is well above the norm.
Predictably Armed Forces families regularly contribute a greater portion of their net income than those who have never served.
Conservative Americans, be of good cheer, we are better than the rest of the world.

The more secular the nation,……. the cheaper it is. We Americans (with little help from the Blue States) give 1.67% of our GNP to charity. In Britain they contribute .073 and the French, give just .14%. No wonder the Left wants us to be “more like Europe.”
This tells us can’t expect help from Blue State liberal Democrats as we work to restore America to the country we grew up in and want for future generations.
They’re not us, no sir. The truth is we’re better people by any objective standard.

Rod Blagojevich 52, is a classic Chicago gangster. He’s charged by the feds with several serious crimes including mail and wire fraud and bribe solicitation. Conviction of these crimes can get him in federal prison for 360 months and a $500,000 fine. Blagojevich and Tony Rezko 53, another sleazy Chicago crook, are tied together in their crimes, legal troubles and options for avoiding long federal prison sentences.

In June Rezko 53, was convicted of 16 charges of mail and wire fraud, attempted extortion and money laundering. Many of these convictions carry 240 month sentences each. Rezko will also be back on trail early next year in a 10 million federal fraud case and is facing gambling theft charges in Las Vegas.

Rezko was scheduled for sentencing in September. That was postponed. He was scheduled for sentencing in late October. That was postponed. His sentencing was just reset for January. Why? He is offering FitzGerald “substantial assistance.” He’s talking.

By offering “substantial assistance” to the government, Rezko can win downward departures of his sentence. “Substantial assistance” can cut Rezko’s sentence substantially. Rezko doesn’t want to go away. Blagojevich will “substantially assist” FitzGerald too. He doesn’t want to go away either.

In political corruption cases the Feds always charge conspiracies which carry 240 month sentences. This makes everybody named equally guilty. We know Rahm Emanuel is on tape with Blagojevich. That points to his guilt under this theory.

Blagojevich and Rezko are way too old to even think about prison. Both will talk to cut their sentences. This is why Democrats want to smother Blagojevich, but it won’t work.

Rezko will fall into Blagojevich who will fall into Emanuel who will fall on his sword, but Obama will be forever tainted.

Remember the phrase “substantial assistance.” It has a nice ring.

Under the Federal Sentencing guidelines a judge can cut a convicted felon’s sentence if it is apparent what the defendant provides “substantial assistance” that is truthful, useful, complete and reliable. As important as these elements are, the information provided by the defendant must be timely.

More than this, in the federal system a defendant is not deemed to be convicted until he/she is actually sentenced. The federal system moves faster than most state systems do, but it is still very slow. Convicting Blagojevich and getting him to a sentencing hearing could take more than a year with the legal maneuverings available to him. He could do enormous damage in a year’s worth of conversations into a federal microphone. It could very well turn out to be that Blagojevich bargains for his freedom with what he does not say rather than what he does say.

That would be illegal, but Patrick FitzGerald is not a man to be trusted, given his shameful conduct in the Plame leak case.

This is why the Illinois Democrats want to destroy Blagojevich and his credibility as soon as possible. They have a tall order in this aim. If they knock down Blagojevich they still have Rezko who is potentially much more dangerous to their God: The One.

We on the Right were knocked down and thoroughly beaten last month. There isn’t much we can do to regain the initiative in our fight to reclaim America, but this doesn’t mean we can’t realize important gains from the Left’s mistakes and corruption. We need to be watchful and ready to act at the proper moment with the proper tactics and plans.

Madoff the Crook donated stolen money to Democrats the willing

By Kevin “Coach” Collins

About the time he decided to steal his investor’s money, Bernard Madoff and his family started giving large sums to willing Democrats. Records show the Madoff’s donated to the Democrats who were supposed to be protecting us from predators like Madoff himself.

Donations to politicians who do not directly represent the donor are suspicious. They raise flags. So does “family bundling” where the spouse and children “contribute” as well.

The Madoff’s have given Democrats “suspicious money” since 1998. Bernard gave $85,300 to Democrats from New York to Oregon. Why?

Bernard’s wife Ruth donated $35,500 to Democrats from New Jersey to Oregon. Out of state donations have a reason.

Madoff’s sons Mark and Andrew are big Democrat contributors too.

Since 1998 Mark donated $22,700, to Democrats. These donations were spread out across the country. Since 1998 Andrew sent $18,000 to Democrats around the country.

Bernard’s brother Peter was also generous to Democrats. He contributed $23,650 to Democrats and that was sent to Democrats around the nation; more big red flags.

Geographically spread out donations like these have a certain odor to them.

Everyone of these Madoff’s had to be involved in this swindle. The media only wants to talk about the celebrities who lost money. They don’t want to tell us who looked the other way so this swindle could happen.

Madoff’s niece, Shana, his compliance attorney is married to Eric Swanson a former SEC official who inspected Madoff’s firm in 1999 and 2004. He found nothing? The Swansons should be jailed with Madoff.

Nobody in the media bothered to write this. They want to bury this information and not mention the money these people have stolen amounts to twice what was stolen in the Enron scandal. But of course that was a Republican scandal so we got every single detail.

This one gets worse by the hour. Madoff bragged about having his slimy tentacles in the SEC citing Shana’s marriage to Swanson as an example of his firm’s power. This is serious and it’s just getting started.
