Obama as Leninoid
Shared via AddThis This is an excellent article written by James Lewis from American Thinker illustrating the parallels between Obama and Lenin. If you had any doubts as to Obama's radical Marxist background this should set you straight! Very powerful!
Obamacare activists to crash D.C.'s massive tea party?
Shared via AddThis Obamacare activists supposedly are planning a "well funded counterattack" on Sept 13th the day after the 9/12 March. If you can make it to DC for the March go because numbers will make a difference! If you can't go show up to tailgate parties and go to other supporting events. Above all keep contacting your legislators and keep up the pressure!

'Take that thing off your head'
Shared via AddThis Wow I wonder how many of us would have had the stones to do what this young lady did? In my humble opinion her courage was punished. She never made a threat, she simply expressed an opinion. Perhaps she could have been a little more diplomatic but I doubt that would have helped as the teacher probably still would have reported her. What gets me is that it was the teacher who reported the incident, not the two students involved! It would have been better if the teacher had stayed out of it and let the two students settle their differences as long as things didn't escalate to violence. As it was the teacher ended up backing down, changing her story and making things worse! This forced a politically correct solution, one that directly infringed on one student's first amendment rights and one that taught the other that respect for the American way of life is not required. We all need to remember that respect is always a two-way street. True respect is never just given, it is always taught and earned.

NHS closes its doors to foreign doctors - Times Online
Shared via AddThis Fascinating! Is this what we have to look forward to here if the Obamacare/Ted Kennedy Memorial Bill gets passed? We already have a shortage of doctors in critical areas. If this is how government run health care manages the doctor supply I think I will pass on it.

Finally, Conservatives Have Their Freedom Fighters
Shared via AddThis I never thought that one day I would be considered a protester or a demonstrator. I never dreamed that my belief in God, country, truth and the American way would ever predispose me to be called a nazi, racist, fascist or any of the other crazy horrible names our so called leaders have come up with. I never thought that I, a middle aged wife, swim mom, church leader, Girl Scout leader, and nurse practitioner would ever be considered a freedom fighter. Wow-me, a freedom fighter! How cool is that??
For those of you who think you can scare us off by calling us names and using your stupid little Saul Alinsky tactics on us, let me set you straight. We are not going to be silenced, we are not going away, we are growing in numbers daily and we will not be stopped by you or anyone else that wants to turn this country into a cess pool. This is a promise and one I intend to do all that is in my power to keep. After all, I am a freedom fighter now and damned proud of it!

Lockerbie Bomber Released for Oil?
Shared via AddThis So they wanted to release this guy for compassionate reasons. Guess they forgot about compassion needed for the families of the Pan Am 103 disaster. It is looking more and more like this was a matter of convenience and expedience than anything else. That makes it even more of a slap in the face for the victims' families. It also seems to be more evidence of how little influence the US has in the UK and the rest of the world now. Can you imagine this happening five or ten years ago? Unthinkable! But now we hear outraged comments coming from the White House and the State Department. One wonders how hard they tried to stop it in the first place.

'Obamacare:' What does the Constitution have to say?
Shared via AddThis Here is a great article on why, within the context of the Constitution, it is not up to the Federal Government to provide health care. I like that the author underscores that The Constitution really isn't so much about our rights as it is about what the government can and cannot do for it's people. It is time to get smart about our Constitution before it is too late.

Obama: Government Health Care will be like...the Post Office
Shared via AddThis Since my husband is a FedEx pilot I find it pretty amusing that Obama uses the analogy of competition between FedEx, UPS and the Post Office as an analogy for public and private health care plans. So if you are forced to a public plan you better hope it works better than the Post Office!

Expert: Watch loyalty, not certificate of birth
Shared via AddThis Click on the title for a great article in response to the quest for Obama's "real" birth certificate. I wholeheartedly agree that the larger and more dangerous issue is where his loyalties lie. We may never be able to prove he is a natural born citizen even if we finally get to see the real birth certificate. This should be a lesson to us to thoroughly vet any and all presidential candidates because it is difficult to remove them once they are in office. We must never again allow a flashy campaign to distract us from making sure candidates are bona fide.

DISSENT IS PATRIOTIC
Sestak: Health Care Protests Fair, Tough Debates
I attended Congressman Marsha Blackburn's town hall meeting and it was great! It was supposed to be held in one of the meeting rooms at the Macaroni Grill in Germantown so when I arrived I was amazed to find a large crowd at the front door. I went inside and inquired where the Blackburn meeting was going to be held. One of the managers (his eyes wide as saucers) told me that there must have been a misunderstanding, that Macaroni Grill doesn't typically "do things like this" and to talk to a man in a blue suit outside about where the meeting would be held. So I went outside and waited with the rest of the crowd which kept growing larger but was peaceful and orderly. While waiting I was able to exchange ideas with people on both sides of the issue and our discussions were great. After awhile one of Congressman Blackburn's staff announced that since our group was so large they had made arrangements with Macaroni Grill to meet in the parking lot. So we moved to an empty area of the lot where there was a van with speakers and a microphone and Congressman Blackburn spent the next hour totally engaged with us, walking around, answering our questions, and passing the microphone around so that everyone could be heard. The debate was passionate but orderly without the shouting, name calling and abusive language that has characterized other meetings. She encouraged everyone from all sides to voice their concerns, saying it was imperative that the American people have a chance to debate tough issues such as health care.
There were some police there, as appropriate for a town hall meeting with a Congressman. But there were no reporters or TV cameras. So that is why I am writing this, so that people will know that it is possible to have real town hall meetings with real debates if you have a representative who is not afraid to engage with people and honestly answer their questions. Pictures to follow.
Michigan crowd vents health care fury - Washington Times
Shared via AddThis Even in the blue state of Michigan people are angry! In my experience most people don't shout if they feel they are being heard. But even in the face of complete opposition this Senator still said that reform wouldn't fail because he "wouldn't let it." He shouldn't be surprised that people are shouting at his town hall meetings. They are trying to get him to hear their concerns, to which apparently he has decided to turn a deaf ear.
EDITORIAL: Killing it softly - Washington Times
Shared via AddThis Great editorial about how private insurance will eventually be abolished if the current reform bills stand. Bear in mind that HR 3200 is not the final form. Before Congress left for recess many other admendments were proposed and will be debated in September when recess is over. We still have a chance to shape this bill. Even though they are not listening we have to make them listen to our concerns. Continue to contact your reps by phone, fax, email, town hall meetings and keep up the pressure!!

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE POWER
The amendment process as described in the constitution, is the living and breathing aspect of the document. Until that EXPLICIT AND AUTHENTIC process is completed, the Constitution stands as written. When ever we hear someone say the words 'interpreted' or 'implied' what they mean is, it can't be found by an ordinary, common sense reading of the Constitution, so some pin head academic has to explain it to us, but thats not the way it was intended. It was intended that the people would be vigilant in keeping our elected officials within the bounds of the Constitution. How could we do this if it is so complicated only someone with a law degree could figure it out? Alexander Hamilton, who was a federalist, and a proponent of a powerful federal government said, "It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they can not be read, or so incoherent that they can not be understood..." Federalist papers #62
I wonder what Hamilton would have thought about a health care bill with over 1000 pages that in the words of one democrat congressmen, you need 3 days and 2 lawyers to understand?
Concerning government usurping power, there is a point of no return. A point where we will not be able to turn things around using our political system. Where is that point and what will it take to regain our liberty if it is reached?
Next week I will give you the powers every dictatorship needs to suppress it's people, The historical pattern that every Democracy followed leading to collapse and connect both of these things to the path our country is on right now.
This is Paul Revere reminding you, " The red coats ARE coming"
“ If we move in mass, be it ever so circuitously, we shall attain our object; but if we break into squads, everyone pursuing the path he thinks most direct, we become an easy conquest to those who can now barely hold us in check.”
Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Duane, 1811

Yes They Are Talking About a Government Takeover of Health Care
See rebellion at grass roots
Shared via AddThis Apparently the rowdy town hall meetings are happening all over the country, not just in NY as mentioned in my previous post. Click on the link for details. I am amazed at the disconnect between these lawmakers and their constituents. They can't seem to believe how truly angry people are about cap and trade, the stimulus, and health care. They want to blame it on the Republican Party for stirring things up. But what really stands out to me is Brian Smoot's (former head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) comment that it is a risk for Republicans to "align themselves with such a small minority in the party. They risk alienating moderates." So should we tell the Dems that the Tea Party numbers are growing daily and that they include democrats, independents, libertarians, and people from all races and walks of life? Or should we just keep it a secret and let them discover it for themselves come election time?
Town Hall Meetings Gone Wild!

64% of Israelis want Temple rebuilt
Shared via AddThis If this were to happen we would be seeing scriptural prophesy unfolding before our very eyes. There has long been a movement in Israel to rebuild the temple and now it looks as if momentum is growing. Wow! What was foretold long ago in the Bible you can now read in the news!
