Our local commie, Rep Jan Schakowski IL-D, spews her Marxist rhetoric. She mocks the Tea Party and our beliefs in what she calls our Revolutionary Plans. She is correct, it is a Revolutionary Plan and our 'founding fathers' called it, the Constitution. Approximately, 1,247,978 Americans (Not included are Iraq and Afghanistan War on terror) have paid the price for this Revolutionary Plan, so that we may live in freedom, in what is called, American Exceptionalism. http://is.gd/fHVwD
Jan, as well of the rest of the members of the Democrat Party, have sworn to Protect and Defend the Constitution. She obviously does not understand the principles of what it contains. She and her ilk, are there to govern with the consent of the People. We need to restore this country back to the People.
November 2, 2010 We take our country back!!! Vote them out!!!
The Progressives held their Marxist Lovefest in Washington, DC, on October 2, 2010. Every one of the Left was represented there, from Weenie Liberals to full blown communists. They all have one goal in mind, the destruction of the Free Market System and the American way of life. There was so much hate from all these envious people who want whats not theirs and want to share among themselves. How have we let ourselves become so apathetic that we let this pop up in front of our faces?
Obama is a Socialist! This chant is from one of the groups which were bussed into Washington.
Karl Marx would be proud of these people...
This is how the Progressives want to leave our Nation...
November 2, 2010...We begin to take our country back!
The Progressives are constantly blaming the Tea Party of being racists. They fail to tell the truth that the real racists are their party, the Democrats.
Enough is enough America. Let's take our country back...
This date will be upon us soon. The American people will let Washington know that we do not want to live like the Progressives want us to. We want to live free.
Watch as one man, Andrew Breitbart, is able to make an entire group of Progressive drones and their handlers leave in shame. These are union drones that blindly follow as a herd their caretakers. They are unable to answer why they are even there when confronted. If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem...November 2, 2010, we begin to take back our country or the Revolution is lost.
The Revolution has begun...will you side with the problem or be part of the solution?
POLITICO 2010 Complete Election Coverage: Christine O'Donnell hits the stage at Values Voter Summit
Delaware GOP Senate candidate and tea party sensation Christine O'Donnell torched "ruling-class elites" and their "anti-Americanism," in her debut on the national stage Friday, encouraging the room of conservatives to lead a constitutional comeback in this year's midterm election.
O'Donnell's 17-minute speech before the Family Research Council's Value Voters Summit made no direct mention of her primary upset of nine-term Rep. Mike Castle Tuesday; it instead focused on the enthusiasm that's reinvigorated the conservative movement in the two years since President Obama took office.
"The conservative movement was told to curl up in a fetal position and just stay there for the next eight years, thank you very much. Well, how things have changed," O'Donnell said, to cheers.
O'Donnell, who defeated Castle by a 6-point margin despite sustained attacks on her misstatements and financial troubles – past and present — repeatedly chided "the ruling class" and championed "a rowdy revolution of reason."
"The small elite don't get us. They call us wacky. They call us wingnuts. We call us, 'We the people,'" she said to sustained applause. "We're loud, we're rowdy, we're passionate. … It isn't tame, but boy, it sure is good."
She also addressed the personal scrutiny and criticisms she has endured since her candidacy vaulted into the national spotlight just weeks ago, when she appeared to be gaining momentum against Castle in her third shot at a Senate seat.
"Will they attack us? Yes. Will they smear our backgrounds and distort our records? Undoubtedly. Will they lie about us, harass our families, namecall to try to intimidate us? They will. There's nothing safe about it. But is it worth it?" she said.
"Well, let me ask you. Is freedom worth it?" she asked, as the crowd chanted "Yes." "Is America worth it?"
She used her middle-class upbringing in New Jersey to briefly explain one of the most perplexing charges that has dogged her campaign — why it took her more than 15 years to earn her college degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University.
"I never had the high-paying job or the company car. It took me over a decade to pay off my student loans. I never had to worry about where to dock my yacht to reduce my taxes," she said, jabbing at Sen. John Kerry for dodging a six-figure yacht tax in his home state. '"And I'll bet most of you didn't, either."
O'Donnell argued that while Beltway elites are attempting to marginalize their movement, it’s conservatives who represent the core of mainstream America.
"We're not trying to take back our country. We are our country," O'Donnell said, before making a subtle reference to a phrase Obama has been using on the campaign trail. "That's what's happening in America today, the grown-ups are taking away the keys."
Continuing on that theme, the former television commentator lamented Washington bureaucrats who have "weaseled" their way into personal decisions that should be left up to individuals, using a line of attack first delivered by Sarah Palin.
"They even want unelected panels of bureaucrats to decide who gets what life-saving medical care and who is just too old, or it's too expensive to be worth saving," she said, a nod to the fictional "death panels" that Palin first used to attack the health care bill. "They'll buy your teenage daughter an abortion but they won't let her buy a sugary soda in a school's vending machine."
While O'Donnell lacked the sizzling electricity that is Palin’s trademark, her speech was smoothly delivered and well-received by the sympathetic crowd at the Omni Shoreham Hotel.
Back in May at a fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the president said Republicans wanted the keys back after "they drove the car into the ditch."
O’Donnell’s only other veiled reference to the president came when she spoke of "anti-Americanism" and criticized leaders for apologizing for America.
"When I talk to people out on the campaign trail in Delaware, I'm hearing frustration, not only with the direction our country is headed but with the anti-Americanism that taints every outlet of the ruling class. Americans want our leaders to defend our values, our culture, our legacy of liberty and our way of life, not apologize," she said.
O'Donnell's appearance at the Values Voter Summit marked O'Donnell's first address to a national audience. She began reintroducing herself to voters Thursday night in her first joint appearance with Democratic nominee Chris Coons at a candidate forum in Wilmington.
"It's no secret that there's been a rather unflattering portrait of me painted these days," she said during the forum. "I am fighting two political parties here in Delaware."
Just before she took the stage, O'Donnell announced via tweet that her campaign had raise more than $1.5 million in under 72 hours. "You are all amazing," she wrote.
Really? It doesn't work? It took Fidel Castro a lifetime of raping this beautiful island of Cuba to now admit that he was wrong. Too bad that the MSM is burying this story. It doesn't fit the model that they want for us.
Report: Castro says Cuban model doesn't work By PAUL HAVEN, Associated Press Writer Paul Haven, Associated Press Writer Wed Sep 8, 3:18 pm ET
HAVANA – Fidel Castro told a visiting American journalist that Cuba's communist economic model doesn't work, a rare comment on domestic affairs from a man who has conspicuously steered clear of local issues since stepping down four years ago.
The fact that things are not working efficiently on this cash-strapped Caribbean island is hardly news. Fidel's brother Raul, the country's president, has said the same thing repeatedly. But the blunt assessment by the father of Cuba's 1959 revolution is sure to raise eyebrows.
Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, asked if Cuba's economic system was still worth exporting to other countries, and Castro replied: "The Cuban model doesn't even work for us anymore" Goldberg wrote Wednesday in a post on his Atlantic blog.
He said Castro made the comment casually over lunch following a long talk about the Middle East, and did not elaborate. The Cuban government had no immediate comment on Goldberg's account.
Since stepping down from power in 2006, the ex-president has focused almost entirely on international affairs and said very little about Cuba and its politics, perhaps to limit the perception he is stepping on his brother's toes.
Goldberg, who traveled to Cuba at Castro's invitation last week to discuss a recent Atlantic article he wrote about Iran's nuclear program, also reported on Tuesday that Castro questioned his own actions during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, including his recommendation to Soviet leaders that they use nuclear weapons against the United States.
Even after the fall of the Soviet Union, Cuba has clung to its communist system.
The state controls well over 90 percent of the economy, paying workers salaries of about $20 a month in return for free health care and education, and nearly free transportation and housing. At least a portion of every citizen's food needs are sold to them through ration books at heavily subsidized prices.
President Raul Castro and others have instituted a series of limited economic reforms, and have warned Cubans that they need to start working harder and expecting less from the government. But the president has also made it clear he has no desire to depart from Cuba's socialist system or embrace capitalism.
Fidel Castro stepped down temporarily in July 2006 due to a serious illness that nearly killed him.
He resigned permanently two years later, but remains head of the Communist Party. After staying almost entirely out of the spotlight for four years, he re-emerged in July and now speaks frequently about international affairs. He has been warning for weeks of the threat of a nuclear war over Iran.
Castro's interview with Goldberg is the only one he has given to an American journalist since he left office.
Progressives lies don't work on everyone. Their phony attempts to say that the Tea Party is racist is actually backfiring when the truth is told. Progressives are the racist, just listen to them talk.
Oh oh...oh no you didn't Papi...you did not just say that about America's first black President, did you? Did you Rick Sanchez? Why is it that when a Progressive says a racial remark it's given a pass? If this had been a commentator on Fox News, you would see it on all the MSM... This racist, Rick Sanchez, should be fired!
President Obama and his Progressive henchman's may have trashed our country for the last two years but that is soon to change. We are Americans and we are proud of it. November will be a wake up call to the Left. You will not change this great country into a third world banana republic.
The founding of this country provided human beings the freedoms that had only been imagined by previous generations and would be envied by the rest of the world. The Constitution gave us an innovative form of Government, that would be elected by the People for the People. We would no longer have kings or tyrants dictating which way to live our lives. We decided that through free market capitalism we would have an equal opportunity to prosper.
Our elected Government was there to provide a stable environment from which we could try to achieve our dreams and goals. They had to provide for common services which would maintain and upkeep such things. They would provide for our defense against enemies both foreign and domestic. Our public servants would come from our fellow citizens that were competent to fulfill these roles. The citizens would decide on what needed to be done to their communities both local and national, through the process of the vote.
There has never been any other place where our form of government has been put to practice. There are many democracies around the world but none come close to the freedoms that we have. Yet now, many of us are starting to become aware that the same political system that has brought us such freedoms has also enabled the Progressives to begin to slowly corrode our way of life by modeling it on foreign forms of governments in which the State has the power to control as many aspects of human life as it can.
This has not happened over night but very slowly by the Progressives who have been able to exploit the chinks in our armor. They have slowly tried to take God from our lives yet they cannot hide his presence. They mock him constantly by trying to take the Lord from our public areas, our schools and our basic building block, the natural family. The public school system have become indoctrination centers for the Progressives which has resulted in the dumbing down of the American People. They are now promoting Gay marriages which can never naturally result in issue for our future generation.
Our Progressive-controlled Government is trying to destroy our morality, our wealth and our happiness. They have total disregard for the Constitution which they mock by saying that it is a living document which can be changed at their whim. Our Government has taken a road that many of us never intended to travel. They have done this by manipulation and propaganda. Our servants have taken our country to such financial debts with most of it owned by a communist country, China.
Our public servants are slowly becoming our masters. So whose fault is this? Who is responsible for this happening? I'm afraid that we are. Our apathy of watching what our public servants were doing with our country. We took it for granted that because we had a two party system, that they could not both be corrupted enough to work for their own purposes rather then ours. You have all observed this year how our public servants have ignored our complaints and have passed laws that further put them in more control. The servants have become a political elite.
It is not too late to change this. We have to shake the apathy that has grown so prevalent in our lives. We must take the time to learn our Constitution and what our Rights are. We have to bring back our country to what the 'Founding Fathers' originally intended or we and our children's are destined to become servants to our masters, our public servants.
Here is an example of an arrogant public servant who chooses to attack it's citizenry because of their opposition to a moral wrong.
Americans live in freedom because of the extraordinary bravery, sacrifice, and dedication to duty of the members of our Armed Forces. From the first official Army parachute jump 65 years ago, our country's Airborne troops have played a crucial role in the defense of our Nation and our liberty. On National Airborne Day, we pay special tribute to these courageous soldiers who served with honor and integrity.
On August 16, 1940, the successful first jump of the Army Parachute Test Platoon laid the foundation for a new and innovative method of combat that helped contribute to an Allied victory in World War II. These bold pioneers answered the call of duty and set an example for future generations to follow. Since the designation of the Army's first Airborne division, the 82nd Airborne, on August 15, 1942, our Airborne troops have performed with valor. The brave men and women of our Airborne forces have worked to defeat tyranny, advance the cause of liberty, and build a safer world.
Today a new generation of Airborne forces is fighting a war against an enemy that threatens the peace and stability of the world. At this critical time, Airborne forces of the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force are continuing the noble tradition of the first sky soldiers. Americans are grateful for the service of our Airborne forces and all our troops, and we are inspired by the strength and sacrifice of our military members and their families.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim August 16, 2005, as National Airborne Day. I encourage all Americans to honor those who have served in the Airborne, and I also call upon all citizens to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.
GEORGE W. BUSH
I want to dedicate this post to the small community of Sky Soldiers. I am fortunate to be part of this group of brothers and sisters who fall from the sky in order to protect our nation. Of the many organizations that I have belonged to this one will always have a very special place in my heart. We tried to fly and touch the face of God but only to fall back down to earth.
I recall that one day awhile back as I was walking in a parking lot of a local market an elderly gentleman approached me. I was wearing a maroon jacket which had a large Airborne Wings on the back, along with the Air Assault Wings and the Glider Wings. He asked me if I was in the service and I told him that I was a proud veteran and that I had earned two of the wings on that jacket, the Army didn't have Gliders anymore.
He smiled at that and said that he had not only earned the Airborne Wings but also the Glider Wings. I was amazed and shocked by that. I stood in the presence of a person who had been part of the greatest airborne invasion in history, the Conquest of Fort Europe from the Nazis. I then noticed that he had a small Airborne Wings pin on his jacket. I was honored to have met him and thanked him for his service.
Comrade Congresswoman Melissa Bean D-IL won her seat in a predominant Republican District. I don't know how many times I have to say this, but elections have consequences. I don't mind if people want to screw themselves with these Progressives but it does bother me when policies and votes that they cast affect the rest of us. It is unfortunate that people tend to fall for the Obama Propaganda Machine or as now known to them as the MSM. Please watch this video as the Progressives fall back on their time-honored popular form of intimidation. This form of changing peoples minds become more intense the further to the Left one goes. This is the way it starts though and beware that you don't find yourself in a place like North Korea, China, Viet Nam or Cuba to see and feel what total control is like.
I think that this might be a new tactic that the Progressives use to quiet down the uppity citizens who question their actions. It is sad to say that the servants have become our masters.
If GW were still President, you betcha that this would be on your TV every night. Now that we have BO, the Libturds at the MSM are basically keeping quiet about what is happening in Afghanistan and are ecstatic about same sex sodomizers being able to marry by a gay judge who went against the votes of 7 million people...yuck!
Please help let the Progressives who are destroying our country, know that we do not want a statue of the pig, Stalin, dispirit the memory of the brave angels who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and of the rest of the world on June 6, 1944. These American heroes should not be sullened by this statue and the Lefts revisionist history.
Sign the petition to remove the statue of Stalin from National D-Day Memorial in which he had no participation in.
The Progressive MSM attacks Black Conservative Leaders of the Tea Party Movement. We are all Conservatives who believe in the Constitution and want future generations to be able to share in the freedoms that we have had.
O! say can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming. And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines in the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, A home and a country should leave us no more! Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto: "In God is our trust." And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Who knew that Andy Griffith was a closet Progressive Libturd? I have always liked watching the wholesome show about Mayberry and wished that our world would be a little kinder like it. I have watched Andy become a senile Libturd propagandist for the elderly as he pushes the lies about how wonderful ObamaCare will be for Senior Citizens. I guess that I will now have a heavy heart when I watch the Andy Griffith Show and know that he really was putting on an act.
Will Washington's Failures Lead To Second American Revolution? By ERNEST S. CHRISTIAN AND GARY A ROBBINS Posted 06:30 PM ET
The Internet is a large-scale version of the "Committees of Correspondence" that led to the first American Revolution — and with Washington's failings now so obvious and awful, it may lead to another.
People are asking, "Is the government doing us more harm than good? Should we change what it does and the way it does it?"
Pruning the power of government begins with the imperial presidency.
Too many overreaching laws give the president too much discretion to make too many open-ended rules controlling too many aspects of our lives. There's no end to the harm an out-of-control president can do.
Bill Clinton lowered the culture, moral tone and strength of the nation — and left America vulnerable to attack. When it came, George W. Bush stood up for America, albeit sometimes clumsily.
Barack Obama, however, has pulled off the ultimate switcheroo: He's diminishing America from within — so far, successfully.
He may soon bankrupt us and replace our big merit-based capitalist economy with a small government-directed one of his own design.
He is undermining our constitutional traditions: The rule of law and our Anglo-Saxon concepts of private property hang in the balance. Obama may be the most "consequential" president ever.
The Wall Street Journal's steadfast Dorothy Rabinowitz wrote that Barack Obama is "an alien in the White House."
His bullying and offenses against the economy and job creation are so outrageous that CEOs in the Business Roundtable finally mustered the courage to call him "anti-business." Veteran Democrat Sen. Max Baucus blurted out that Obama is engineering the biggest government-forced "redistribution of income" in history.
Fear and uncertainty stalk the land. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke says America's financial future is "unusually uncertain."
A Wall Street "fear gauge" based on predicted market volatility is flashing long-term panic. New data on the federal budget confirm that record-setting deficits in the $1.4 trillion range are now endemic.
Obama is building an imperium of public debt and crushing taxes, contrary to George Washington's wise farewell admonition: "cherish public credit ... use it as sparingly as possible ... avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt ... bear in mind, that towards the payment of debts there must be Revenue, that to have Revenue there must be taxes; that no taxes can be devised, which are not ... inconvenient and unpleasant ... ."
Opinion polls suggest that in the November mid-term elections, voters will replace the present Democratic majority in Congress with opposition Republicans — but that will not necessarily stop Obama.
A President Obama intent on achieving his transformative goals despite the disagreement of the American people has powerful weapons within reach. In one hand, he will have a veto pen to stop a new Republican Congress from repealing ObamaCare and the Dodd-Frank takeover of banks.
In the other, he will have a fistful of executive orders, regulations and Obama-made fiats that have the force of law.
Under ObamaCare, he can issue new rules and regulations so insidiously powerful in their effect that higher-priced, lower-quality and rationed health care will quickly become ingrained, leaving a permanent stain.
Under Dodd-Frank, he and his agents will control all credit and financial transactions, rewarding friends and punishing opponents, discriminating on the basis of race, gender and political affiliation. Credit and liquidity may be choked by bureaucracy and politics — and the economy will suffer.
He and the EPA may try to impose by "regulatory" fiats many parts of the cap-and-trade and other climate legislation that failed in the Congress.
And by executive orders and the in terrorem effect of an industrywide "boot on the neck" policy, he can continue to diminish energy production in the United States.
By the trick of letting current-law tax rates "expire," he can impose a $3.5 trillion 10-year tax increase that damages job-creating capital investment in an economy struggling to recover. And by failing to enforce the law and leaving America's borders open, he can continue to repopulate America with unfortunate illegals whose skill and education levels are low and whose political attitudes are often not congenial to American-style democracy.
A wounded rampaging president can do much damage — and, like Caesar, the evil he does will live long after he leaves office, whenever that may be.
The overgrown, un-pruned power of the presidency to reward, punish and intimidate may now be so overwhelming that his re-election in 2012 is already assured — Chicago-style.
• Christian, an attorney, was a deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury in the Ford administration.
• Robbins, an economist, served at the Treasury Department in the Reagan administration.
The Progressives are afraid of the Tea Party. They are now trying to sow division between them and the Republican Party. The GOP will return to it's Conservative roots and the RINO's will most likely follow Specter and go into the Democrat Party if they want to continue in politics or become lobbyists. House Minority Leader John Boehner tells a luncheon group how this will play out and the relevancy of the Tea Party movement. This will not happen overnight but it will happen.
