Obama’s regime has thirty seven “Czars.” Most are redundant. Some are ridiculous. There are Czars for things like “Sudan” (yes a czar for the Sudan) also a Great Lakes Czar and Urban Affairs Czar.

What these “Czars” do isn’t clear, but I’m sure whatever they do has little connection to our real everyday lives.

Because of Obama’s destructive policies what is important and relevant to our everyday life is unemployment. Obama has made unemployment a fact of life for millions of Americans who were never out of work before. Many of these people voted for him and “change.” Now the change is costing them their life savings, cars, homes and for some their marriages. The least Obama can do is give these economically displaced Americans their own Czar, someone who “gets it” and has “been there.”

Andrew H. Brown for Unemployment Czar

Since this position would be real and relevant it would demand special qualifications. Although he was just a fictional character someone like Andrew H. Brown the “Andy” of “Amos and Andy” should be the model. Andy never had a steady job and always did okay, but he would “get it.” He would watch out for his “peeps” and make sure to sure up for work every 13 weeks to plead the case of extending unemployment “payments.”

Andrew H. Brown for Unemployment Czar!

Congress has just voted to extend unemployment “payments” for another 13 weeks. This makes more than a year that such benefits will be paid. The Democrats are creating another dependent group to draw votes from.

First they cause the problem then they “solve” it.

Of course Andrew H. Brown for Unemployment Czar is sarcasm, but the point is real: Obama is making “unemployed” a new “permanent” status in American life and that and he are disgusting.

Remember Rahm Emanuel never likes to waste a good crisis, even if he has the foment it himself.

The first seven months in office have unmasked the real Obama – a far left radical bent on destroying free market capitalism, a man who exhibits a distinct anti-business bias which is a major contributing factor to accelerating job losses, and a president determined to expand government to every sector of American life.

Barack Obama has a ruthless ambition for power with designs on becoming Emperor of the World while creating a Czarist system of governing in the USA.

Obama is trying to accomplish his leftist goals with a constant stream of verbosity. Words, words and more words erupting like an active volcano spewing his radical ideas, like a choking ash, throughout the globe. His talks are filled with false promises, inaccuracies and a missionary zeal to rush irresponsible spending programs through Congress. LOOK BEHIND HIS WORDS and you will see Obama – “The Eloquent Prevaricator”.

The President’s words are omnipresent (always in a campaign mode) utilizing all available media to express denials, counter attack, to deride opponents and their ideas or comment on current events. Mr. Obama is smart, quick, forceful, and cool. He is a world-class manipulator of words and has a unique way of implying agreement with your position but planning the opposite. PENETRATE THIS FOG OF RHETORIC and you will recognize Obama – “Cleverly deceptive”.

Barack is also the master at creating a straw man in his never ending monologues. He’s quite inventive in designing problems of his own perception and then offering solutions. The straw man is often used to distort, deceive and deflect attention from the real problem. ANALYZE HIS PREMISES and you get Obama – “Intellectually dishonest”.

The “Ship of State” with Obama at the rudder, is listing heavily to the portside. Please beware of what is happening. Let your voice be heard. Demand the truth.

Press for accountability from your elected representatives. Free market capitalism is truly the best path to prosperity. Job creation should be the top priority for the Obama administration.

Several remarkable things recently became clear:
The left is unable to injure an opponent through a boycott. This must be a horrible shock as the boycott has been a successful labor union and leftist tactic for more than a century. Worse yet, Beck’s ratings rose substantially and, at least one boycotter, GEICO, is losing at least 6500 customers.

I personally cancelled my Progressive policy (was previously unaware of the Soros, et al. connection) in response, and I am sure I have company. We conservatives do not preen our “goodness” with public statements we simply cease to patronize the enemies of freedom.

The “main stream media” have served “liberals” well for years by declining to cover or “spinning” news that was unflattering to their “liberal” masters. Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather and the NY Times are the gold standard for this faux “journalism.” From the sixties through the eighties, many gritted teeth and watched these and other frauds, or read the NY Times, as they were then “the only games in town”.

It’s different now

The tactic of non reporting or biased reporting is now helping real news organizations, as in the Van Jones debacle. To hear about Jones HAD Americans had go to Fox, (really Beck). Once there, they stayed. Speaking of Beck, I suspect his theatrics or indifference to hair stylists and haberdashery infuriates the left, For instance, a decent case can be made that President Obama does NOT see the world through a black/white prism. Unfortunately the left ignored the story and so refused to make Beck put up or shut up – perhaps the thought of debating this “rube’ gave them the vapors.

If they believe that they are winning, however, they should move to a bunker under a Chancellery. The “rubes” are trouncing them all day every day.

The fact that Conservatives have no defined leaders, therefore must not be a movement, also seems to bother the left. Perhaps it is because many of them could not venture into the world unless armed with the current daily talking points. It is true that leaders sometimes help the cause. It is also true, that, without fail, those same leaders will, at some point, begin to sell out those that created them.

There can be no negotiation with the leaderless as there is no one with whom to negotiate. Ergo, those million that were in the Mall and millions more that showed up at tea party gatherings all over the country must strike fear into the “liberals” and should be giving the Republicans pause. We/they will not stand for sell outs and recognize the existential threat the nation faces. There can be no compromise, as defeat is death.
America has one great heave left in it and those that show up at protests are its vanguard. Democrats should be in a panic and Republicans nervous. There is a new sheriff in town!!!

The explosive power of 2,200,000 American patriots converging on Washington can’t be wasted.
So “What’s next, where and when?”
Targeting the media
We know the Left owns the media. They lied by about our numbers to tamp down the fires of liberty and help their masters. They never mentioned the hundreds of local TEA parties in 45 states from Maine to Hawaii. Media lies about our TEA parties and their size are a danger to American freedom and liberty. We have to confront the media and keep up the pressure.
Here’s our next step and when
Since the media “didn’t notice” 2.2 million people gathering in Washington we should do what Rush suggested and gather at their headquarters across the country.
November 1 seems to be an ideal date. It’s the anniversary of the British Parliament’s passing the Stamp Act in 1765. That led to the first tax revolt in American history which was a huge success. In one year England had to repeal it.

With the flames of protest in our streets still burning brightly we can easily get huge crowds out to show the media we’re tired of their slanted anti American reporting.

With CNN in Atlanta, the AP in Washington and NBC in New York City the distribution of logistics and planning are perfect for another successful day.

In New York City gathering in front of NBC headquarters at Rockefeller Center on a crisp Sunday afternoon would be an easy goal. Rockefeller Center is in the heart of Manhattan where the liberals live and work. Transportation to Rockefeller Center is easy from anywhere in a metropolitan area including 17 million people.

Atlanta is an accessible hub city and of course Washington is as well.

This works people. Contact your local TEA party organizers and “Let’s roll!”

Keeping the momentum up

We’ve made our point to the liberals in Congress. They saw first hand up close and personally that we will not stand for their continued assaults on our freedom and liberty.
Now we have to make the point to their puppets in the media. We have to let them know their conduct is unacceptable and clearly the reason why the number of people who trust them is at a record low. We have to force them to live up to the responsibilities and freedoms won for us and them by our first Revolution and they had better get on board for our second Revolution.

We can’t let this flame go out. We have the wind at our backs and have the Left on the run. We have them down and can’t allow them to get back up.

On this day in history September 18th

1793 George Washington lays the foundation stone for the U.S. Capitol.

1948 Margaret Chase Smith becomes the first woman elected to the Senate without completing another senator’s term when she defeats Democratic opponent Adrian Scolten. Smith is also the only woman to be elected to and serve in both houses of Congress.

Kirstin Gillibrand is ACORN’s Trojan horse. She is a hollow soulless being who will help America’s enemies destroy us to stay in power. Tuesday she proved she puts herself above our country.

When the Senate voted 83 to 7 to order HUD to cut off funding for ACORN two thoughts came to mind.

All the “Nos” were Democrats since Democrats are enemies of real America -no surprise to that.

Next there was a name that didn’t “seem” to fit among the “Nos.”

Of course Durbin and Leahy were there but Kirsten Gillibrand (D) NY?

What’s the story? Lurking just beneath the surface is Gillibrand’s connection to the most malignant force in New York and America’s politics, the Working Families Party (WFP).

Before being elected to Congress Gillibrand was a generally apolitical liberal working in Washington, and initially she tried being a Blue Dog, even voting correctly a gun rights issue.

Working Families is ACORN

Gillibrand’s Blue Dog days ended when her Senate seat was handed to her. She promptly sold her soul to the Working Families Party the anti American political arm of ACORN.

When she voted to continue funding ACORN, a group could end up being collapsed as a RICO organization, she was ORDERED to by the Working Families Party.

Gillibrand voted to give herself campaign money through the WFP.

This site warned about the Working Families Party two weeks ago explaining it has worked for ACORN to take over the NYC Council. In NYC’s Democrat primary Tuesday WFP backed candidates beat five incumbent Democrat Councilman. Now WFP owns the Council.

Now they want the United States Senate and they’re on their way. Remember this when a candidate steps up against Gillibrand next year. This woman has to be stopped.

Kirstin Gillibrand is ACORN’s Manchurian candidate waiting to strike.

Fight the Working Families Party

We have to press for not only a complete investigation of ACORN, but its political front apparatchiks at the Working Families Party.

New York City is in their clutches and frankly will be slowly but most certainly choked to death by the Working Families Party. Don’t let this happen to your town and don’t let this happen to our Senate.

When the New York GOP gets its ticket in place for next year, please support its Senate candidate against Gillibrand because in doing so you will be helping to defeat ACORN and the WORKINGFAMILIES PARTY all of them are very dangerous.

This day in American history:

1787 – George Washington was presented with a new US Constitution at the Philadelphia Convention

Jim O’Keefe and Hannah Giles are the new media. The old tired Democrat controlled media has been pushed aside.

They’ve ripped the cover off the ACORN cesspool and done the job “ABCCBSNBCCNN” refuse to do. This is the type of journalism the Founding Fathers had in mind, not the garbage churned out by Michael Moore et al.

Because of their clever and innovative attack on Obama’s shock troops, everyone who counts now knows a lot more about ACORN’s criminal activities.

What they achieved

Simply by wearing Halloween customs presenting Giles as a prostitute and O’Keefe as her pimp, they convinced ACORN workers they were fellow criminal low lifes. The ACORN workers then gave them the same kind of counseling usually only available in prison yards.

This proved ACORN is filled with common street thugs.

That they could walk into an ACORN office dressed in ridiculous outfits and be received as “legitimately” illegitimate proved the existence of the chasm between the underworld where ACORN lives and the America we live in.

It proved that although they might live in America they aren’t Americans. They aren’t patriotic Americans. They are a form of lesser beings whose cunningness should never be mistaken for genuine intelligence.

Because Jim O’Keefe is as intelligent as he is clever he is nowhere near finished. His work has stopped ACORN cold and made it fashionable to go after them, something Obama never dreamed could happen.

Because of O’Keefe the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office is investigating ACORN; the Senate has voted overwhelmingly to cut off their funding and the Census has fired them.

O’Keefe has rubbed the media’s nose in the streaming pile of dung that is ACORN. He’s everything the media should be and he’s not finish. He’s got more tape and he knows how to use it.

It would never fly in Bedford Falls

Anywhere in real America people dressed that way would be shown the door. Imagine O’Keefe and Giles dressed like that walking into the Bailey Savings and Loan in Bedford Falls New York when Jimmy Stewart’s George Bailey ran it. PLEASE!

ACORN is our enemy. Make no mistake about this. They are not merely grassroots workers trying to “make a difference.” They are Barack Obama’s shock troops who job is to destroy the America we love and live in our country can be remade into a socialist gulag.

Our fight for freedom and liberty can never be over.

This is real

You can fool yourself and say Obamacare and Cap and Trade and Card Check and amnesty of illegal aliens won’t and don’t affect you but that doesn’t change the truth.

If you are planning to look away from the fight hoping it won’t harm you; than plan on being a slave.

Michael Steele your letter to me saying, “.. I’m concerned you’re not taking an active role as a grassroots leader in fighting the Democrats’ socialist schemes..” is the last straw. I was in DC Saturday where were you?

I’m sick of your feckless lack of leadership; I demand you get the hell out of the way.

You’re not the champion of conservatism we need. You’re a timid mouse when we need a snarling lion.

Your absence from our conservative TEA party slapped my face and you have the nerve to be “concerned” about me? You just don’t get it do you sir?

You missed a huge opportunity to bring conservatism roaring back and ready for next year.

We don’t need a Black face to make the media happy, we need a man to stand up and lead. Your kind of failure is contagious and can’t be tolerated. You’re wasting our precious time so GET OUT NOW!

I called you an affirmative action phony in March and demanded you resign and get out of the way. I’m demanding it again. We need leadership from the RNC not an embarrassing buffoon afraid of Democrats and the media. Apparently you think “working” with Obama will get us somewhere. It will get us only misery. Obama’s trying to enslave us, don’t you understand this?

Have you no shame sir? Are you just in this for the paycheck? How would you act differently if you weren’t just marking time for Friday afternoons? I won’t send the RNC another cent until you’re gone. We don’t need a spineless phony leading our party. We needed you there Saturday. You’ve disappointed us once too often: Get out so we can find a real conservative leader.

Republicans weren’t demanding freedom Saturday sir, conservatives were. Learn the difference or resign!

Real grassroots action

If you are a registered Republican let the RNC know how you feel about Michael Steele sitting out Saturday. It’s obvious we’re going to have to do this ourselves.

Talk to people. Let’s find a leader who will coordinate our movement with the Republican ticket next year. Talking about going third party is a sucker’s play that will only seal America’s fate as a socialist European style gulag.

We can’t do everything. We can’t fight our way back from the deep hole we’re in right now and drain the Washington swamp completely. Let’s do the smart thing and use our energies to throw out the bums first. Then we can rebuild Washington so it works FOR us.

We have the wind at our back and things are looking better by the month, but we have to make sure we don’t blow this chance because it won’t come around again in our lifetimes.

Our nation’s life is on the line. Step up or answer to your children and grandchildren why you sat and watched instead of fighting.

In his remarks to 15,000 hand picked stoogies in Minnesota on Saturday Obama repeated his usual lies and half truths.

Appealing to these socialist simpletons Obama said, “We have public colleges and private colleges. The public colleges don’t put the private colleges out of business” implying it would be the same with public versus private healthcare plans.

Of course the crowd clapped like hungry circus seals without questioning this lame and ridiculous “analogy.”

Nobody in his hand picked crowd reminded Obama that Americans aren’t forced to go to college, so if a private college raises tuition its students aren’t forced into a public college. If a private college dropped a major its students aren’t “dumped” into local community colleges.

Obama’s weekly address lies

During his weekly speech Obama addressed Healthcare. His remarks beg a response.

He said “..my plan will offer more security …. And bring the cost of healthcare under control. Then he added his stock lie “… nothing in my plan would require you to change.”

Since Obama’s assault on our healthcare started we haven’t seen one word of “his plan” because he has no plan.

“I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficit. This plan will be paid for.”

The CBO says HR 3200 (the only plan in print) will cost $1trillion over the next decade and still leave 30 million Americans without coverage. Republican estimates set the cost at $2.4 trillion, so either way Obama is a liar.

Lying about costs

“If we ..slow the growth of healthcare costs by .010% each year we will reduce the deficit by $4 trillion over the long term.”

Millions of simpletons believe him, but Obama is a “Judas goat” trying to lead America to slaughter to the clutches of Marxist socialism. Keep fighting.

Debate? What debate?

Obama’s Saturday speech also included this line “We have had a long and important debate.”

When did this “debate” take place? Who spoke for America and who spoke for the Marxists? Did Obama refer to the tongue lashing average America patriots gave to tongue tied Democrats during the town hall meetings this summer?

Barack Obama is a “Judas goat” who will lead our country, your country, your family and all future generations to the slaughter of his Marxist healthcare plan. He is not interested in your health, my health or anybody’s health. He is interested in controlling every aspect of our lives because he is a dedicated Marxist who wants to destroy America so he remark our nation into France.

If you plan on sitting and watching; hoping for the best than plan on being a slave to Obama’s government.

Proverbs: 14;15

“The simpleton believes everything but the shrewd man measures his steps.”

Keep asking questions and keep demanding answers, because the simpletons won’t. This is the only way we can ever get the truth.

No one can reasonably take exception to the idea that, at some point, the dollar will be worth nothing. Its sole value, since we abandoned gold, is the backing of the US government, which will not last forever.

An argument can and should be made that ALL paper money is illegal and illegitimate. To wit:

The Constitution, in Article I, Section 8 authorizes the Congress “To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures; to provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities (bonds) and current coin in the United States.”

The Founders did NOT provide for, and by implication denied, the power to print money.

Our Revolution was funded by paper money, circulated by individual states and the fledgling federal government. It got us through the war but left a mess and set a horrible precedent, still plaguing us today.

At war’s end there was a sea of almost worthless currency and bonds. This became the formula for, and the vehicle by which, spineless politicians “resolved” crises and funded subsequent wars. No paper money, no war!!!

Americans love the “benefits” of deficit spending but don’t care about the results. We’ve clamored for war, healthcare, pensions, etc. and politicians were happy to oblige.

FDR, after running on a platform of balancing the budget, began buying votes, partially decoupled the dollar from gold, maneuvered the nation into war, and prospered politically. Politicians learned that formula well. Skillful management and massive bond sales tamped down inflation during FDR’s war, but the debt remained.

Americans have been properly trained to not look “at the man behind the curtain” but to only stare at the Great Oz. Since the average high school graduate hasn’t studied economics, he just leaves it to Oz.

Oz is a fairly tale not a formula for honest government

Oz has not yet put the nation over the precipice but it approaches. Weimar Germany’s billion dollar notes were long ago and Zimbabwe is far away so, it cannot happen here…can it?

Here is what the Bank Credit Analyst wrote in 2003:

“The only way to avoid a destructive end to the super-cycle of rising debt and illiquidity may be to try and devalue accumulated debts through increased inflation. That will not be a painless process for the markets.” Given that the public will not stand any pain, a destructive end is, unfortunately, more likely.

The dollar has depreciated more than 80% in the past 50 years and we are running up unsustainable debt. The results of continued deficit spending have caught up. All those bills that were put off have come due and we are tapped out.

Wait a minute, there is no problem the Great Oz will simply print some more money, i.e. until it is literally not worth the paper on which it is printed.

Can anyone remember the last time he or she heard the phrase “sound as a dollar”? We now know the reason.

In the summer of 1996, California’s Maxine Waters publicly accused the United States government of introducing crack cocaine into mostly black South Central L.A. She said the government was complicit in destroying the inner city. Thirteen years later, at the hands of the above, we are witnessing the U.S. actually abetting a drug dealer, Hugo Chavez.
Hugo Chavez wanted to expand membership in his “Friends of Hugo” club and needed money to retain power. Oil prices were down but cocaine trafficking could fill the gap. It was becoming difficult to export drugs to the US from Venezuela, Cuba, etc., so a new “friend” was needed. Enter Manuel Zelaya, president of Honduras.
Manuel had been helping move drugs but was facing the end of his mandated single term in office. Hugo wanted to help his buddy overcome the pesky Constitution and funded that effort. A Venezuelan Army officer discovered in Argentina with $800,000 was also part of the plot. Zelaya also had five thousand passports issued to Venezuelans, Cubans, etc., to form the vanguard of anticipated “pro Zelaya protesters”. There are photos of these imported thugs carrying bricks and rocks, to “protests.”

Chavez had Zelaya schedule an unconstitutional plebiscite to redraw the Constitution, sent the ballots, and even supplied the results! Zelaya stole 40,000,000 Lempiras ($2,200,000) immediately before his ouster. All of which is against Honduran law. On June 28, without a shot being fired, the Army, on orders from the Court, removed him from office. He was then flown to Costa Rica. Roberto Micheletti, the constitutionally “next in line” assumed the presidency.

There’s no doubt Zelaya intended to rig the vote and declare himself president for life. He could then get to the business of repaying his debt to Hugo by allowing Honduras to become another conduit for cocaine shipments.

The evidence mounts but the liberals don’t care

Prior to and after Zelaya’s removal, 14 Venezuelan aircraft either crashed or were destroyed after landing in Honduras. All were carrying drugs and/or cash.
Space does not permit a full accounting, but Micheletti is desperately trying to preserve this fragile democracy while the world’s elites are doing their best to subvert it.

Back to Maxine’s allegation and the current administration:

The reaction of the UN, OAS, U.S. and Europe puts her allegation close to the truth, albeit belatedly. We pump in billions and accept the deaths of Americans fighting in Afghanistan, in an effort to contain terrorism, support democracy, and inhibit drug trafficking.
Meanwhile, the United Nations, the Organization of American States, the Obama Administration, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Senator John Kerry are working to bring down the democratic government in Honduras and reinstall potential tyrant, Manuel Zelaya. Ironically, while decrying the “coup” in Honduras, the reinstallation of Zelaya would, in fact, be a coup. Reinstallation will, of course, aid Hugo’s drug business. Ergo, the world’s grandees are attempting to squeeze the Honduran poor and re-install a drug dealing tyrant, while sending money and young Americans to bring down Taliban tyrants and drug dealers in Afghanistan. Go figure!
