Yo' Barrack!!
I see you're in Minnesota today, rousing the crowds with more campaign style rhetoric.
Ummm, you won the election. Enough with the campaign style. It's time to actually start a governance style.
We've all heard your pretty speeches whipping up the kool-aid crowd, but what we haven't heard from your administration is legislative propositions that work.
I get it,, you got the kool-aiders with empty speeches, but where you're losing the mainstream is your lack of details. We want details. We want to know just how you plan to pay for this.We want to know just how big a burden you're going to place on taxpayers. We want to know just how you plan to avoid rationing, because,, as a health care worker, I can promise you-- we do not have enough doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, x-ray tech ect ect to provide quality care to everyone.
Empty promises have been shown to be exactly what they are-- mist. Dust.

Is it about Health Care Reform? Or Something Else?
We heard many speeches from a lot of politicians about health care reform. We've even heard so many different iterations from Obama that we really have no idea just what the hell his real position is.
We've heard the left scream- "Health Care For All!!!!" and "Sock it to the rich!!!"
We've heard the right scream- " No to socialism!!!" and "No more taxes!!!"
Perhaps this is exactly what the left wants? After all, part of the plan is to confuse the true issues with screaming, to shout down your opponents. Sorols would be proud.
Or perhaps we don't know Obama's true position because the last time he revealed it-- he wasn't POTUS then. In 2003 at a AFL-CIO conference, Obama clearly states he wants a single payer system. A complete socialists wet dream.
In a socialistic system, we the people stand around with our hat in our hands, begging for anything we can get. That is, unless you're among the politically powerful- they still will have the best of everything. In a socialistic system- the politicians wield complete power over the people,, of course, all in the name of "social justice".
That's not the United States. It's not the country I grew up in. What they want to turn it into, isn't a country I want to leave to my children.
Obama ran on a centrists platform- it's how he got the independents. But as soon as he got in- all the promises of reform for DC politics, the promises of transparency, all the accountability disappeared, just like early morning mist.
What appeared in it's place, is a revealed strong tie to organized labor, a strong tie to radicals, communists, and a hard left bent to his policies.
Like every politician, he lied. So, is it really about health care? Or is it a power grab by an out of control government?

Glenn Beck & Revolution
Glenn Beck thinks we're headed for a peaceful revolution, that we should leave our "muskets" home and work within the "system".
I have a lot of respect for Glenn. He seems to honestly care about where we're headed as a country. Unfortunately, I don't believe that the "change" needed can occur without violence. I pray I'm wrong, but as each year passes, I cling to less hope.
Someone asked me the other day why I think this, and while the answer is simple, the explanation isn't.
The answer quite simply is power, and we the people don't hold it any longer. It's not even a problem of Democrat vs Republication- both equally rape the American people in their quest to fill their pockets, and steal more power from us.
The explanation falls into every area of America.
Politics--
How are politicians elected? Your first answer is typically "by the people". Really? Who provides most of the money for a candidate to run his/her campaign?that answer is big corporations.
So why would they provide the sums of money they do in order to elect their candidate? What's the payoff?
That part is easy- they want legislation, money, or pork projects favorable to their interest. So far, pork spending in 2009 is over twenty billion for almost 11,000 projects.
Politicians keep telling us we "have to pass this or that legislation because it's the right thing to do". Unfortunately, they don't bother to pay for it.
Social Security was passed with the understanding that you pay into an account, the money sits there gaining interest until you retire.
Too bad they lied about that. It makes Bernie Madoff's ponzi scheme look like a piker. Bernie defrauded us for approximately 65 billion. Social Security unfunded obligations are in the neighborhood of of 7 trillion, with a total unfunded obligation for all government being approximately 65 trillion dollars. That's more than 11 trillion more than the entire world GDP.
We can't pay it. We have been defrauded. We have been lied to. But, in a way, we deserve it. We keep sending the same thieves and con men back to Washington.
The financial system cannot sustain this.
Let me put it another way-- could your personal finances sustain a debt that was so large you couldn't even pay the interest on?
No, you couldn't. You or I would be bankrupt.
The governments only desperate hope is to print money. A lot of money. Enough money to devalue the dollar to a level that they could pay the debt. Unfortunately, every country that has EVER done this has collapsed. It's called hyperinflation caused by:
The main cause of hyperinflation is a massive and rapid increase in the amount of money, which is not supported by growth in the output of goods and services. This results in an imbalance between the supply and demand for the money (including currency and bank deposits), accompanied by a complete loss of confidence in the money, similar to a bank run. Enactment of legal tender laws and price controls to prevent discounting the value of paper money relative to gold, silver, hard currency, or commodities, fails to force acceptance of a paper money which lacks intrinsic value. If the entity responsible for printing a currency promotes excessive money printing, with other factors contributing a reinforcing effect, hyperinflation usually continues. Often the body responsible for printing the currency cannot physically print paper currency faster than the rate at which it is devaluing, thus neutralizing their attempts to stimulate the economy......
Our government has all but admitted that this is their plan. They want us to believe they are wise enough to dump literally trillions of worthless dollars into the economy, and then pull them out before the cycle spirals out of control.
This, from the same idiots who can't run a "Cash for Clunkers" program. The same idiots who can't run the post office in the black, the same idiots who plundered Social Security and bankrupted Medicare with feel good, fiscally unsound plans.
That is the people who have the prints churning out printed money as fast as they can.
I maintain that nothing gets better until the greedy powerful short sighted idiots in government and business are out. I doubt a single one willingly gives up that power. Not unless they are forced to.

As it allows a government to devalue their spending and displace (or avoid) a tax increase, governments have sometimes resorted to excessively loose monetary policy to meet their expenses. Inflation is considered by some another tax on citizens but less overt and is therefore harder to understand by ordinary citizens. Inflation can obscure quantitative assessments of the true cost of living, as published price indices only look at data in retrospect, so may increase only months or years later. Monetary inflation can become hyperinflation if monetary authorities fail to fund increasing government expenses from taxes, government debt, cost cutting, or by other means, because:
- (1) during the time between recording or levying taxable transactions and collecting the taxes due, the value of the taxes collected falls in real value to a small fraction of the original taxes receivable;
- (2) government debt issues fail to find buyers except at very deep discounts
Our government has all but admitted that this is their plan. They want us to believe they are wise enough to dump literally trillions of worthless dollars into the economy, and then pull them out before the cycle spirals out of control.

physicians opnion of financial bail out package
Physicians' Opinion of Financial Bail Out Package:
The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists
advised not to make any rash moves.
The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it,
but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of
nerve.
The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a
misconception.
Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted.
Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while
the Pediatricians said, 'Oh, Grow up!'
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while
the Radiologists could see right through it.
Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.
The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow,
and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new
face on the matter."
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the
Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea.
The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and
the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire
decision up to the assholes in Washington

Elimination of Waste and Corruption
In Obama's town hall meetings, he insists two thirds of the cost of healthcare reform will come from eliminating waste and streamlining the process.
Kind of like how the government does with Medicare? Or how about Social Security? Perhaps the Post Office?
Two of the last things the government EVER is, is streamlined and efficient. When we think of bloated bureaucracies, the very first thing that comes to mind is always government run programs. When we think of corruption, we think first of government, and second of big business. (Despite the fact both are corrupt, I think our government is infinitely more so).
Barrack Obama's Economic Recovery act was supposed to be set up for shovel ready projects, yet is bloated with every liberals wet dream of wasteful spending imaginable. Yet, we're supposed to believe that the same government who has bankrupted SS, Medicare, Postal Service, bailed out Wall Street and the banks-- can somehow run 1/6 of the American economy and make rational decisions for all of us about our health care? I mean, after all- they do such a bang up job on everything else they run.
Right. Sure. If you believe that- I got some really prime land I can sell you.

The Destruction of America
I've stayed away from my blog for a while, simply because I could no longer stomach just how blind and deaf our elected officials are. I couldn't accept just how willing so many of them are to destroy our way of life, and fundamentally and radically alter the United States into some pale shadow of Europe.
Lets look at some of the deliberate ignorance our elected officials so shamefully, and proudly display;
--Senator Boxer insists that protesters at Town Hall meetings must be plants- after all, they are all too well dresses. (News flash Ma'am, That's what people with jobs look like.) Yes, the "Ma'am" comment is deliberate-- she finds it demeaning. Probably as demeaning as the public finds her comments.
--Nancy Pelosi insists that American anger is "manufactured" and any conservative movement is "astroturf", that it's "un-american" to protest, that conservative protesters are using Nazi symbols. Really?? Where was your outrage at the same tactics used by liberals in your own home district concerning the war???
---President Obama swears to hit back harder, he calls out his thugs in ACORN and the SEIU union to beat the shit out of regular Americans who simply insist that their elected officials hear them. President Obama insists anyone who disagrees with him to shut up and get out of his way. Really??? Say,, Barrack,, do you really think the American people will rollover and let Chicago organized crime politics hold sway over the nation?? Do you really believe we'll hold still for that?
---Liberal media is complicit in whitewashing the entire mess and demonizing regular citizens. People who simply want a few things from Washington.
What is it we want?
1. Read the fucking Bill you're voting on. Don't just protect your own power Senators, Congressmen- you represent us, not yourselves.
2. Use some common sense. If we're broke, don't make it worse by imposing the worst deficit EVER.
3. If you pass health care bills- make sure you have to use it also. Don't set up yourselves as an elite that thinks its better than we are.
This Country was founded on the principles of self reliance, Independence, and freedom. Our government is moving more swiftly than ever to overturn those principles. Our government will not rest until they have complete control, cradle to grave over all citizens.
Right now, working class citizens are talking. Don't push us into taking up weapons.

Direct Action
A friend recently asked me, as I've been asked several times over the last few year- when did I think common citizens would take matters into their own hands.
I've said many times in the past, and continue to say-- it will be when common folks can't make a living. When they listen to their children cry going to bed hungry. When they completely accept that the power elite in Washington are absolutely disconnected from the reality in American life.
Look to the San Joaquin Valley for an entirely probable direct citizen action against the government.
Eighty thousand people are about to be out of work there. A 41% unemployment rate. All because of the Delta Smelt. An endangered minnow that the courts have decided to save. The San Joaquin Valley is some of the richest farmland in the world, but now is a dust bowl due to the Federal government shutting off the water the area needs for irrigation.
All for a minnow.
Eighty thousand farmers are desperate right now. The water has been shut off since late 2008. The area grows a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, along with many thousands of acres of fruit trees that are now dying.
Comic Paul Rodriguez's family farms there. He appeared on Sean Hannity tonight, frantic to get someone, anyone in the Federal Government to intervene. From the veiled comments he made- the farmers there will get that water---one way or another.
I'll predict now-- The Federal Courts will not reverse their decision, and the farmers will take matters into their own hands and turn those pumps back on to fill their irrigation canals.

Creation of a Partisan
All my life I have been apolitical. I've never voted, but that was primarily because I never believed in any politician enough to give my vote to one. I mean, look at them. Corrupt, pathological lying, they cheat on the tax payers, their spouses, and their honor-- all to either get elected, or get re-elected.
The power they get seduces them, one and all it seems. You can count honest politicians on one hand-- and probably have fingers left over.
This doesn't even include the fact that we the citizens don't even elect the POTUS. Our vote counts for shit there.
So,, I've never voted, but I am a patriot. I served our country in our Armed forces. I believe in the need for people to give up their God given rights in order to protect the rights of others.
I believe in the free market system. Stop bailing out failed businesses. Stop writing legislation that sets up the free market to fail. Stop expecting the tax payers to fund this insanity. Repeal TARP now. Stop it.
I believe in legal immigration. It isn't racist to demand that illegal immigrants be swiftly ejected from the country. It isn't racist to demand the border to controlled. Do it. Do it now.
I believe in the intended checks and balances that the Founders built into our system of government. Fire the Czars. They are accountable to no one but the President. Fire all sixteen of them. Stop circumventing the Constitution. It is what made this country great.
I believe in the rights of States and the People. Stop the Federal government take over of our rights. Relinquish the power you have stolen. Shrink the government. I don't want the government in my daily life, besides, you have enough work to do with your real job. So, why don't you take care of those obligations before you try taking over mine.
What I work for is mine. I earned it, and you have no right to take it and give it to others. Stop this insane redistribution of wealth. Poor people do NOT create jobs. Not one time in my life has a poor person ever given me a job. Not. One. Fucking. Time.
You want to redistribute wealth? Redistribute your own.
Universal health care. Can you really look at any country that has it and tell me it actually works? What? You think that you can do it better than other countries? You? The same people who bankrupted Social Security? The same people who can't even run the Postal Service efficiently?
I make this prediction now: Government run health care will absolutely drive private insurers out of health care. Watch and see if I'm not right.
I believe in free market energy. Cap and Trade will double our electricity costs--all in the name of "green energy". Tell Al Gore to divest himself of his 100 million bucks he's made off the green cause- then I might listen to him a bit. The debate isn't over on global warming. Stop what you are doing.
Most of my life I paid little attention to politics. You are rushing so fast into the same mistakes of the past, completely confident that you can do it better than those who failed before you, that you are forcing me to to take a stand.
You made me realize that you have made me powerless within your system. You made me realize that I have few to no options to stop you within the system.
Thank you for waking me up. Thank you for waking so many of us up. Thank you for those you will wake up if you continue on this destructive course.
Janet Napolitano issued a report about home grown terrorists/partisans. I find it entirely ironic that it may be a self fulfilling prophesy.

Entitlements- Now Iran Entitled To Nuclear??
Obama has said Iran is entitled to nuclear power.
Hmmm, Does that mean American citizens are also? I mean, after all- isn't Obama against nuclear power in the US? So why is he for it for a country that publicly professes as a national goal the complete destruction of Israel?
Is there an ulterior motive here? Does Obama want a new holocaust? Is Obama crazy? Or just stupid?
So far internationally, President Obama seems to be all for appeasement of our enemies, and cold shouldering our allies. In fact, the only people who seem to need to fear this president, is his own citizens. He's done more to destroy the American way of life than any terrorists could have dreamed of doing.
Now Obama is in the Middle East on a public relations tour, all aimed at showing the Muslim world that he really will not stop radicals, and absolutely will do all he can to stop Israel from protecting itself.
I've got news for Mr. Obama- I've met/worked with Israeli soldiers. They will not allow Iran to attain their stated goal.

Obama; Americans Must Make Sacrifices
According to Obama, all Americans must make sacrifices during this trying economic time. That is, all Americans but the Obama clan.
The night before GM filed bankruptcy, President Obama and Mrs. Obama flew from the White House to New York city for dinner and a Broadway show-- all on YOUR dime.
At a time when so many Americans are losing their jobs and homes, businesses are closing, the President lavishly spends your tax dollars to entertain himself and his entourage. Three private jets were used to transport everyone to NYC because it was more economical.
Now, didn't the President criticize the auto CEO's for using private jets to come to Washington? Hmmm, different standards?
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs refused to disclose how much the taxpayers just got soaked for, but British DailyMail estimated it at 72,000+ dollars.
That's really tightening up that 'ol belt Barrack.

Government Motors Files Bankruptcy Today
Ok, so GM files bankruptcy today, and the taxpayers are on the hook for 50 billion so far. Yes, I'm convinced we'll probably end up putting at least another 100 billion into Government Motors.
Obama insisted we couldn't let GM go down the tubes,,, after all, we would have lost 3 million jobs. Or was that we'll save 3 million jobs? Maybe it was we'll create 3 million jobs.
It's hard to keep up with his double speak,,I mean, he tosses around nonsense million, billion, and trillion numbers like they're meaningless--but I digress.
So, we the taxpayers will now own 70% of GM, and the unions will own 20%, and Obama's wacky left wingers are telling the car company they are going to make teensy tiny little green cars.
Right-- let me know how that works out for ya.
Somehow, I'm not reassured by this business model. Government owned and operated, along with the union.
Does anyone see why I think another 100 billion is going into this black hole?
Oh!! But lets cheer!!
Now,, GM will make tiny cars no one wants, but do not despair-- I'll predict right here and right now;
Obama has a plan-- Since the public wont buy these cars, he'll just enact new rules and the government will buy them. Millions and millions of government fleet green cars.
See? That'll work out great. Almost as good as the Fed buying their own T-Bills and bonds.

The Reasons I'm Concerned
Friends and family have asked me over the last 12 months or so just why I'm so convinced that things are on their way to an implosion for America.
Three years ago, I got an uneasy feeling about the economy. It didn't make any sense on the surface at the time. After all, the Dow was over 10k, easy money was to had just for the asking, credit nearly shoved on us in obscene amounts.
That was exactly what bothered me. It took me a while to realize it, but eventually I did. When my mortgage company was willing to offer me what amounted to twice my homes value, and credit card companies were willing to offer me what amounted to my annual salary, I knew in my gut that the collapse was coming.
Then the mortgage industry started collapsing. I immediately moved my 401K out of stocks and into bonds, thinking that regardless how bad it got, bonds would hold. I was wrong. Fitch ratings is downgrading pretty much all state bonds. Federal or Treasury bonds are iffy at best.
Anyhow, then the stock market crashed. Once it crashed, businesses folded, unemployment skyrocketed, (I still think we're being lied to by the Fed about real unemployment numbers), the economy staggered into a deflationary cycle.
As a result, Congress panicked, passed a hugely bloated "Recovery Act", just chock full of every single Congress critters wet dream on spending. (787 Billion) They followed this folly up with the omnibus bill which simply had the rest of their pet projects on spending. (400+ billion)
This was followed by the 3.7 trillion dollar 2009 budget, bringing the deficit (at the time,, trust me, it gets worse) up doubled.
Now we get the 1st quarter numbers on income for the fed-- taxes paid in. They normally collect about 670 billion per quarter. They barely collected 400 billion. Taxes are down simply because the ECONOMY is down. People are out of work, businesses have shuttered their doors.
Now, you ask why this is important. What less revenue does is increase the deficit. After all, the Federal government isn't going to decrease their spending. If anything, they're spending faster and faster.
CBO has revised their estimate on the deficit. It will jump from 10.6 trillion to over 18 trillion,, just on the strength of less revenue.
Now, the president has decided to "reform" credit card companies. Sounds good on the surface, but the nitty gritty is- it protects those in trouble, and punishes those who are good customers.
Huh???
Hmmm, sounds just like whats going on for the last six months, eh?
Now, lets throw in the taxes that are going to go up to pay for Obama care.
Just wait until we taxpayers get the bill for bailing out California, Massachusetts, Michigan, ect, ect ad nauseum, ad infiniteum.
Mark my words- If you are a responsible, law abiding tax payer- you're about to get screwed by Obama & company. I'll be surprised if we ALL don't end up paying 60% of our income in Taxes.

Enhanced Interrogation
- Prolonged isolation.
- Prolonged sleep deprivation.
- Sensory deprivation.
- Extremely painful stress positions.
- Sensory bombardment (such as prolonged loud noise and/or bright lights).
- Forced nakedness.
- Sexual humiliation.
- Cultural humiliation (such as desecration of holy scriptures).
- Being subjected to extreme cold that induces hypothermia.
- Exploitation of phobias.
- Simulation of the experience of drowning, in other words- waterboarding.
The difference being, I was being trained to resist interrogation by foreign operatives, and detainees were being interrogated. Where it is the same is-- no permanent harm was done to either class of subjects. Ergo, it's not torture.
Others claim it's a violation of the Geneva Convention.-- Sorry,, but it's not. These are not uniformed members of a recognized military or militia of any nation.
Terrorists falls into a really uncomfortable grey area under international law. They don't fit any of the international conventions of military, nor of national forces or political identities. What they are is a multinational, continent hopping scourge on society.
Terrorists don't utilize "enhanced interrogation", the beat you half to death. They break your bones, cut you up, then behead you on camera for the benefit of shocking and terrorizing law abiding peoples the world over. They utilize the act of terror to enforce their will over a unwilling people. Prime example was Afghanistan under the Taliban. U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan absolutely will not allow themselves to be captured because they know without doubt that they will be tortured and beheaded.
Now, how do we deal with them?
My answer is simple, yet politically unacceptable. Take no prisoners. None, Zero, Nadda. No quarter. Kill every single arms bearing person who confronts our troops. The terrorists claim they are in a Jihad against us.
Fine, a war to the knife is fine with us. We absolutely can kill them in job lots. We had better accept that this war will not be over until the last mothers son is dead and buried. To believe any other way is to lose this conflict, and invite the animals to kill our civilians in job lots once more.
Obama's ideals are grand, his acceptance of losing American civilians to terror is regal. He seems to have forgotten that the American publicabsolutely will crucify him if we are attacked again.

Obamanation/Obomination
Obama experts claim the socialized health care that is being pushed through will cost us all 1.3 trillion.
Frankly, I think that's so low ball that it's insulting. Economists related to the health care industry claim 2.26 trillion is closer to reality.
What the Obama administration isn't telling us is just how they plan to contain costs, and the answer is simple--rationing.
Currently, lets say you over exercised, and ripped a knee tendon. You go to your doctor, s/he sends you to an orthopedic surgeon, s/he schedules a surgery after verifying you do in fact need surgery,,,then you go and get the corrective surgery.
Under Obamacare, you have the same scenario,, but now your primary care doctor has to go to a appointed bureaucrat to get permission for you to see a orthopedic surgeon, who then has to ensure the surgery is within the budget, AND that you are not too old (by government definition-- over 65), and a year later, you get the surgery...maybe.
Right now, Congress is exploring how to pay for such an abomination. One of the options on the table is taxing your medical benefits from your job. Estimates are this could increase your taxes1,000-3,000 a year in new taxes.
With that being the case, why on earth would anyone keep their insurance?
Why would anyone in their right mind step up to pay for government involvement between you and your doctor, after all, look at the bang up job the government has done with the post office, social security, and the auto industry.
Having government involved in running health care will absolutely be the end of a system that innovates, that leads research, that people from the world over come to when they want the best care. We will become no better than Great Britain or Canada when it comes to health care.

Pelosi Using EIT on an Unsuspecting Public
December 2007, Pelosi stated she had been briefed on the enhanced interrogation techniques by the Bush administration, and that they might be used.
April 23rd, 2009, Pelosi insisted she had never, I repeat, never been briefed on EIT, nor that it had been used.
This week, the CIA released records showing Nancy Pelosi had not only been briefed on EIT, but that it had been used and information obtained.
Not only did she actually know about EIT and its use- she, along with other lawmakers voted 13 times to continue funding the program.
Perhaps Nancy is getting too senile to serve? Should someone with such memory lapses be allowed to serve as Speaker of the House, or be trusted with classified material?
Or is it that Nancy Pelosi is a opportunistic, lying, amoral slimebag who needs to be prosecuted right along with the former administration if she persists with the so called "Truth Commission"?
I wish I could say I'm shocked and surprised, but in all honesty- I'm not. I've come to expect our politicians to be lying unethical, amoralistic slimebags. It's par for the course. Congressional behavior such as we're seeing could be construed as illegal, as enhanced, and as unsavory- to say the least.

The First Shots Fired
A new Montana law signed by the Governor, the Montana Firearms Freedom Act, is the first shot fired by states fighting back against the insidious control being implemented by the Federal government.
In ground breaking, and sure to be challenged in the Supreme Court defiance, Montana's new legislation exempts all firearms and ammunition made in Montana from Federal legislation.
The Federal government has long regulated firearms via authority granted to it in the Commerce Clause of the Constitution, on the premise that any gun or related device is automatically subject to Federal regulation because it may be involved in interstate commerce. These new laws would negate that, by protecting guns and related goods which do not cross state lines.
By exempting from such regulation any eligible gun or related device manufactured within its borders and which stays within those borders, the states are in essence denying the Federal government a fictional authority which it has long asserted. More importantly, the states are creating law-based protection against the very-real threat of a Federal gun registration/confiscation scheme.
Many predict that this new movement will lead to an epic legal battle over the Tenth Amendment "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people". If so, an Obama-weighted Supreme Court may end up deciding the issue.

Some are eager for a test case, hoping that some brave soul in Montana will notify the Feds that he or she is going to begin manufacture and sale of "Made in Montana" guns under this new law and without Federal oversight. The expectation is of immediate Federal prosecution of that individual, with the resulting court decision possibly being a major deciding factor in the feasibility and future of such laws.
It seems worthwhile for us to urge our state legislators to consider similar legislation. In fact, Utah and Texas are already presenting potentially similar legislation. Anything that preserves civil rights while taking some power out of the hands of the Federal government has got to be a good thing. Better wording than Montana used for any section that omits fully-automatic guns from the law would be a good idea for any such law, though - there's no reason shotguns shouldn't also be covered by the protection these laws provide.
I believe that this could be the first shots fired in a fight that may well determine the future of not only our nation, but our individual and state rights. I also have to think about just how long this civil war will remain civil, because those with power rarely ever give it up voluntarily.

Obama's Green Agenda- Job Saver or Job Disaster?
President Obama was fond of touting Europe's green initiatives during his campaign, and still holds up Spain's progress in creating green energy.
What the President doesn't tell us is that in Spain, it took 37 billion a year in tax revenue to create just 50,000 jobs. That's 750,000 per job. That's an ongoing annual expense.
He also doesn't bring up that Spain lost 4 jobs for every "green" job created, or that Spain now has a 17% unemployment rate.
I would really like to know why Obama and the liberal press have not only glossed over these facts, but completely omitted telling the American public. Why have they chosen to hide what a economic disaster "green technology" has been in Europe? What could the motive be?
I don't know what their motive could be, but someone wiser than me once told me-- If you can't find a motive, follow the money.

China cuts up Obama Administrations Credit Card
15 Years ago, the US had 44 lenders for selling national debt to. Today, it's 16, and dropping. China's Premier Wen publicly stated that China will not be buying the trillions of debt the Obama administration is trying to sell.
But no worries, according to Tim-tax cheat- Geithner, the Fed will purchase the Treasury bills that his department is selling.
Huh?? Hows that work??
We just print money to buy our own debt??
Try to imagine owing Visa 100,000 dollars,, and you only make 40k a year. Understandably, Visa would be a tad nervous. Try to imagine how nervous and angry they would be if you reassured them by telling them-- Oh, don't worry. I'll just print up the money to pay you.
That's exactly what the Obama administration is doing.

Is It Time To Discuss A Texas Secession?
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.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
Every day we turn on the news, and we see the Federal government acting in ways that in no way represent the will of the people.
The public was against the bailouts, both Republicans and Democrats ignored us.
The public is against the government running private companies, the Fed ignored us.
The public is against generational theft that our children and grandchildren will slave to pay, the politicians ignored us.
We protest, and we're dismissed by the President.
Someone once asked me on a forum what I thought it would take to motivate the American people to revolt.
I replied that it would take out of control government, a dismissive power elite, an onerous tax burden and pampered entitlement class with loss of state and individual rights. I went on to say that I didn't believe it would happen in my lifetime.
That was two years ago.....and I've changed my mind. This government is dashing pellmell to ruin.

Obama Claims
Obama claimed in his April 29th news conference that the 787 billion dollar stimulus has already created or saved 150,000 jobs.
I started asking around how the White House came up with that number, and the short answer is---he made it up.
Every single major economist group has flatly said there is no way with more than 600k jobs being lost each week that the stimulus boondoggle has changed the rate of job loss.
To try to put a happy face on this economy is not only disingenuous, it's insulting.
But being disingenuous is what this President is all about.
After all, this is the administration that fired a CEO, that claims it doesn't want to run a car company- so why are they? If they're so pro-democracy and pro-capitalism, then why are they demonizing the funds who refused to sell out their investors so the Obama administration could get a better deal for the autoworkers union? Might I add that fully half the reason the auto industry is in such trouble is because of the unions.
This administration claims they don't want to control banks-- so why did they strong arm banks on TARP? Why did they quietly arrange for the FDIC to insure banks real estate loans?
Why can't this administration ever seem to say what they mean, and mean what they say? Where is the transparency we were promised?
