Socialist Christian Churches Working With Obama to Silence Dissent Using Hate Crimes Charges

Hate-Crimes

Today another nail was pounded into the coffin of liberty  and your right to both speech and worship in America.

On Wednesday, Marxist-In-Chief Obama signed into law the Federal Hate Crimes bill that was attached to a Defense Spending Authorization.

That’s right. In order to pass the future criminalizing of biblical thought and expression – the Marxists in the Politburo shoved the nearly impassable Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Bill into the Defense Authorization Act of 2010 as a MUST PASS.  If the military gets the funds it needs to make bullets and bombs – the Leftists decided they had a right to sneak their tool to criminalize thought and religion into the bill since it would not pass on it’s own.  So your right to the free exercise of religious faith and free speech was just put in lethal jeopardy with little notice by Obama who signed it into law by authorizing funds for the military.  This new law is the building blocks for state persecution to thoughts, religious ideas and political biases that the state wants eradicated.

This law sets the stage for certain passages of scripture to be a violation of federal law or to say that homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of God, or to teach your own children that the homo lifestyle is wrong.  That is where such legislation leads in other nations that have adopted it.  Of course the proponents and the Marxist-In-Chief make the law sound so noble, so good for society .  The trade off is that instead of Lady Justice being blind in applying the law equally – criminality will be determined on a scale according to thought, as opposed to simple justice before the law.  Apparently violent crime in itself is not enough. Now the thought behind it must be punished – and then it leads to criminalizing the thoughts BEFORE any such “crime” is committed. The law is interesting in that if a man attacks a homosexual – he is virtually automatically charged with a hate crime.  Yet if homosexuals attacked a Christian minister – there is no such application.  Welcome to an America Orwell warned us about.

This law is yet another road to tyranny that will be used to silence Christians and other biblical faiths with political or ideological beliefs that differ with the tyrants running the state.

But it is not the Secular Leftists alone that are pushing to criminalize Christians and to silence dissent.  Red Letter Christians and neo Christian churches that have adopted the ideology of Marx and Obama as divine are also behind a deliberate push to silence any dissent or opposition to the Marxist agenda being pushed by Obama, his stooges in the politburo and the State Run media.

The push is on to silence “hate speech” in as much as they will tie it into this new “Hate Crimes” law, and your local churches may be working right in league with Obama to make it happen.

How the FCC and Liberal Churches Are Scheming To Shut You Up

by Michelle Malkin

The war on conservative speech has moved from the White House to your neighborhood pews. Left-wing church leaders want the Federal Communications Commission to crack down on “hate speech” over cable TV and right-leaning talk-radio airwaves. President Obama’s speech-stifling bureaucrats seem all too happy to oblige.

Over the last week, an outfit called “So We Might See” has conducted a nationwide fast to protest “media violence” — specifically, “anti-immigrant hate speech, which employs flawed arguments to appeal to fears rather than facts.” Their ire is currently aimed at Fox News and conservative talk-show giants. But how long before they target ordinary citizens who call in to complain about the government’s systemic refusal to enforce federal sanctions against illegal alien employers or the bloody consequences of lax deportation policies?

The “interfaith coalition for media justice” is led by the United Church of Christ. Yes, that’s the same church of Obama’s race-baiting, Jew-bashing ex-pastor Jeremiah Wright. Other members include the Presbyterian News Service, the Evangelical Lutheran Church and the National Council of Churches. These religious liberals have partnered with the National Hispanic Media Coalition, which filed a petition in January demanding that the FCC collect data, seek public comment and “explore options” for combating “hate speech” from staunch critics of illegal immigration.

Open-borders groups have sought to marginalize, criminalize and demonize those of us who have raised our voices for years about lax immigration enforcement — and to impose an Orwellian Fairness Doctrine-style policy on illegal alien amnesty opponents. During the presidential campaign, the National Council of La Raza launched a “We Can Stop the Hate” project to redefine tough policy criticism from the right as “hate.” La Raza President Janet Murguia called for TV networks to keep immigration enforcement proponents off the airwaves and argued that hate speech should not be tolerated, “even if such censorship were a violation of First Amendment rights,” according to Broadcasting and Cable News.

Now the gag-wielders have a friend in the White House — and they won’t let him forget it. Their FCC petition calling for a crackdown on illegal immigration critics cites Obama’s own words in a fall 2008 speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Obama told his amnesty-supporting audience that he knew they were “counting on us to stop the hateful rhetoric filling our airwaves.”

Unsurprisingly, far-left billionaire George Soros’ money is backing the So We Might See/National Hispanic Media Coalition effort. And remember that the Soros-funded Center for American Progress has provided the Obama White House with its Fairness Doctrine-embracing “diversity czar,” Mark Lloyd.

Last week, United Church of Christ officials met privately with FCC Commissioner Michael J. Copps in advance of the So We Might See campaign. Copps then delivered a lecture at the UCC’s Riverside Church in New York City, expressing solidarity with the liberal church leaders’ goals and egging the congregants to take action on “media reform: “We are taking huge risks with our democracy. We need to change that, and we need to do it now. We need to get a grip on what’s happening, and we need to fix it.”

Jeffrey Lord, who happens to belong to the United Church of Christ, reported in The American Spectator that not long after that speech, the UCC sent out a mass e-mail to its millions of members urging them to join the nationwide fast and regulatory drive. The church-state alliance missive directed its followers: “As a participant, you will be asked to sign a petition to the Federal Communications Commission asking that it open a notice of inquiry into hate speech in the media.”

No word on when they’ll be launching an inquiry into the fear-based, fact-free “hate speech” from the mouth of Florida Democratic Rep. Alan Grayson, who accused Republicans of wanting sick patients to “die quickly,” likened health care problems to the “Holocaust” and attacked an adviser to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke as a “K Street whore.”

Or when they’ll be going after MSNBC and Air America radio hate-mongers who have openly wished on their airwaves for the deaths of George W. Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck.

But I digress. In the age of Obama, the targets of left-wing hate speech don’t have a prayer.

The Godless Liberal Left Supports A Theocracy In America – As Long As It’s Islamic

While the Christian-hating Left steps up their demonization and attacks on Christians, they support an Islamic theocracy in America.

 

It’s insanity to anyone with a shred of wisdom left to his senses watching Christian-hating morons like Chris Matthews demonize the Christian Right as ‘the Taliban’ – right after taking up and apologizing for the Jihadists in Afghanistan on his little-watched propaganda show:

It’s not so much that this is surprising coming from a Godless Leftist who gets tingles and a hard on for Barrack Obama every time he speaks, but the amount of Christian-hating spew coming out of the State Run media and Obama stormtroopers across the media landscape is becoming truly alarming.  We’ve seen this before in history, and those who remember history, knows where such demonization leads.

Of course anyone who knows their Bible should remember Jesus’ own Words that Christians would be hated and persecuted, even to death in this world.  Something sadly many American Christians have overlooked in our peace and prosperity.  This is noted especially in Matthew 24 and John 15 & 16 – when Jesus explained that at the End of the Age – Christians would be driven from their places of worship and killed while the killers would think they do God service by doing so (John 16:2).

That certainly describes Jihadist Islam and their Leftist/Marxist allies here in this country to me.

This hypocrisy by the Marxist/Anti-Christian Left in this nation is quite remarkable when you consider the organizations that rush to run roughshod over Christianity – but then remain silent or actively support Islamic Fundamentalism establishing a religious theocracy here in America.

Truly the imbeciles on the Left are clueless of this man-eating crocodile they have allied themselves with for their own power’s sake.  Eventually this man-eater will turn on the very ones who are busy feeding it Christians and American liberty.  

For now however, it’s the shared hatred of liberty as carried by Christians and Jews that allies Islamics and Leftists together as they work to enslave the nation to tyranny.

Eventually there will be a battle over whose tyranny is dominant – but for some of us who have been watching, Obama may encompass a new kind of tyranny; that of Islamic Marxism, a blend of liberal Islam with the religion of Marx to create a new type of Fascist politics. John Griffing has an excellent piece today in the American Thinker that discusses this very hypocrisy and danger:

Islamocracy

By John Griffing

The Left, champions of strict separation of church and state, have come out in support of an American theocracy.  How can this be?  Could this possibly be the same political machine that ritualistically goes from town to town scanning courthouses for explicit references to God, or even worse, the Ten Commandments?  Or the establishment telling little Susie she cannot pray at school?  Or the organization forbidding the reading of scripture, even on a purely non-sectarian, academic basis?  Surely we can’t be talking about the same ideologues.

But there is no mistake.  The Left supports theocracy, as long as it is Islamic.  The evidence sits all around us:  Public school officials train students to ward off fanciful Christian (never Islamic) hostage-takers, but rush to allow Muslim students 15 minutes of class time to pray to Allah. 

President Obama publicly advocates the Islamic practice of covering women to alleviate lust, without so much as a whimper from those staunch defenders of women’s rights in the Democratically-controlled Congress. 

Mosques are an increasingly common feature of the American landscape.  These havens of peace, or should I say recruitment centers, have contributed to some pretty striking changes in American cities.  Somehow, wherever large Muslim minorities reside, mosques obtain the right to play the extremely militant Call to Prayer over loudspeakers for all the non-Muslims to hear, usually five times a day.  President Obama remembers the call to prayer fondly. And what is the call to prayer?  The text reads:

Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet …

Ah, what memories.  This militant prose is blasted in cities all over the United States, most notably in Dearborn, Mich. And yet church bells are outlawed in many cities, citing offensive noise and sound pollution.

Inexplicably, many on the Left don’t appreciate the irony of aiding the ascendance of a religion so at odds with many of the Left’s most cherished “rights.”  The perceptive among them might have noticed, for instance, that Islamic law mandates the brutal slaughter of outed homosexuals, usually by way of stoning or, in rare cases, pushing a large brick wall onto the transgressor. Execution for homosexuality is the law of the land in Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan.  If homosexuals decide to be “out-and-proud” in the suburbs of Europe, they’ll receive a swift beating from gangs of Moroccan “youths.”  But in America, Christians are arrested for praying silently at a gay rally.

The Left rewards the perpetrators of honor killings, a Muslim sacrament that calls for the purification of fellow family members through murder, sometimes for evils like talking on cell phones or socializing with westerners.  Such barbaric practice is no better illustrated than in the example of Heshu Yones, a native Londoner.  Heshu fell in love with a Lebanese Christian boy and they planned to elope.  When Heshu’s father caught wind of this, he stabbed her eleven times, and then slit her throat.[1] 

In one recent case, leftist litigants nearly succeeded in sending poor Rifqa Bary back to her sanguine parents where she would surely have met her death.  

The Left will fight for the Muslim right to slaughter relatives, but peaceful abortion protesters are jailed without even the slightest pretense to upholding the First Amendment.

The sheer brutality of Islamic law is evident to any with common sense.  But even though it is inconsistent with American principles of individuality and freedom, many leftists in the U.S. publicly argue for the adoption of the Islamic law called Sharia.  Amputation for theft certainly would certainly solve many problems in America’s crime-ridden streets.  The Chief Justice of London’s Sharia Court agrees:

The Left’s dichotomy extends to public schools as well.  The state-funded University of Michigan has begun constructing footbath stations for Muslims.  Where Muslims are concerned, no one seems deterred by landmark Supreme Court cases like Everson v. Board of Education orEngel v. Vitale.  The “high and impregnable” wall between church and state has just plunged foot deep into the water.  But what would be the response if Christians built baptismals at UC Berkley? 

The Bible is banned by Idaho for use in public school classrooms, but the same authority permits“a passionate defense of Islam by a Muslim faithful.”

And now with the latest call for a probe into the radical terror-funding Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR), Democrats again have a chance to show their patriotism by condemning Islamic supremacists. CAIR leaders have lobbied for a global caliphate and the complete overthrow of the American government.  CAIR’s Chairman Omar M. Ahmad has evensaid, “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran…should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.”  The appropriate response to such sentiments is simple:  NO.  Instead, Democrats have resorted to tiresome clichés about ethnic enmity and intolerance.  When given the choice between America and an Islamic theocracy, Democrats appear to desire the latter. 

The Left is not the decrier of theocracy and the champion of strict separation of church and state that it claims to be.  Democrats seem perfectly willing to accede to an Islamic brand of theocracy if it strengthens the Left’s hold on America.  Alarmingly, the Democrats also seem to think they can keep Islamic extremism under their control, using only so much of it as is necessary to further their own agenda.    This naiveté portends disastrous consequences for freedom in America.  We must act now before the religion that gave us the 9/11 hijackers makes the Whitehouse Muslim.  Or has it already?

The Death Knell of Liberty

Freedom is being replaced by servitude, capitalism by socialism, and property rights by “sustainable development.”

deathknell

If you are willing to take a look at what is being prepared against us – then this link deserves your attention:

Agenda 21: The Death Knell of Liberty

By Jim O’Neill

“The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. …The real enemy then is humanity itself.  Democracy is no longer well suited for the tasks ahead.” —From the Club of Rome’s “The First Global Revolution” p. 71,75 1993

Therefore, send not to know for whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee.”—John Donne (1572-1631) 

The death knell for freedom has been tolling for some time, and only now are people starting to hear it. It started tolling faintly, decades back, and has slowly progressed in volume, until today its tolling is impossible to ignore.

The United States of America—that “shining city on a hill”—had a good run of it, and made a gallant effort at establishing liberty for all. But as the old saw would have it, all good things must come to an end.

Liberty, after all, is an aberration in mankind’s history—a light that has flared here and there over the centuries, only to dissolve back into the darkness.
America is barreling towards becoming a bit player on the world’s stage, and its vaunted middle class—once the envy of the world—is on the verge of being eliminated. 

For the good of the planet, for the good of Gaia. for the good of the collective.

Freedom is being replaced by servitude, capitalism by socialism, and property rights by “sustainable development.” 

I’m not talking about something we need to be on guard against. It’s all already in place. It has been going on for quite some time, and it will continue to go on, at a greatly accelerated pace.

We are at the “end game” point.

And the Globalists know it. Why do you think the Democratic (and many Republican) political hacks on Capitol Hill are so dismissive of the American people? 

They are essentially putting on a “dog and pony show” for public consumption, while the final pieces for America’s defeat are slid into place. No, they are not worried about upcoming free elections.  To a great extent the Globalists own the mass media, the entertainment industry, our schools, and the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative branches of government.

Why should they worry?

Already, several generations have been indoctrinated, via our school systems, to value globalization and “social justice,” over personal responsibility and free enterprise.
They have been repeatedly sold the idea that they should, “Think globally, act locally.”

God has been demeaned, marginalized, and eradicated, at every turn. Our religions are, in many cases, a watered down and diluted mimicry of true spirituality.

The Globalists have come out from the closets, the woodwork, and from under rocks. They know that their time of hiding is at long last over. They are brazen about, and proud of, their anti-American/pro-global stance. Their arrogance and hubris is palpable.  Call them Communists, Marxists, Fascists, or Globalists—call them what you will, they are collectivists who despise America’s middle class, capitalism, and free enterprise.

They have been duplicitous, Machavellian, clever, and patient. And it has paid off; the trap has been sprung.

How did this happen?

America got hit high, and America got hit low. We suffered sudden catastrophic sneak attacks from without, and insidious long-term betrayal from within. 
We were hit low by Alinskyesque “community organizers” in our streets, and propagandists in our schools. We were hit high by “think tanks” like the Trilateral Commission, the CoR (Club of Rome), and the CFR (Council for Foreign Relations).

They have divided us with special interest groups, vociferous “talking point” attacks, and identity politics. They have infiltrated our schools, and indoctrinated our children. 
They have opened floodgates using the 
Cloward-Priven Strategy—overwhelming our judicial system, banking establishment, and border security.
They have encouraged corruption and greed at the lowest, to the highest, levels of government.
They have twisted and perverted the U.S. Constitution.
They have promoted and encouraged anything and everything that would help bring America down. 
They intend on taking over the planet, but first they needed to destabilize, and then destroy, the United States of America. Because we were a powerful bulwark of freedom, we had to go first.
And to a large extent, go we have.

…Club of Rome member, multi-billionaire George Soros, echoed Strong’s statement last fall, when he told an Australian newspaper, “America, as the center of the globalized financial markets, was sucking up the savings of the world. This is now over. The game is out,’ he said, adding that the time has come for ‘a very serious adjustment’ in American’s consumption habits.”

We will be forced to do their will. Count on it.
Forced to cut back on fossil fuel consumption. Forced to cut back on water usage. Forced to give up our property. Forced to eat less. Forced to warm or cool our homes less. Forced to give up driving. Forced to give up these, and many other things that we currently take for granted. It’s “The Plan”—you had better believe it.

Look at what’s happening to California’s Central Valley—once “the world’s breadbasket,” and now a dust bowl. All due to Agenda 21. 

I assure you that the globalists will not help the farmers. As the saying goes, “You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.” The globalists want the land unplowed. They want it to go “back to nature.” They want to increase the price of food. They want to ruin the middle class farming community. It’s all part of “The Plan.”

…The curtain falls.
So America goes down the drain on our watch. It’s nothing to be proud of, that’s for sure.
Is there no hope then?
If there are still enough patriotic Americans who value personal integrity and freedom —there’s a chance we can still turn this thing around, but it won’t be easy. Far from it.
Make no mistake, if we lose this one, America and the world will sink into an abyss of tyranny for a very, very long time.

Obama About to Sign Freedom, Democracy and Prosperity Away Forever

There is an Islamic curse of death by a thousand cuts and it seems to me that Obama and his Marxist cabal are well schooled in that strategy of bombarding the American people with so much power-usurping crap, that we are scarcely able to comprehend the actions of yesterday when he and the Democrats hit us with more atrocities against liberty yet today.  

On October 14, Lord Christopher Monckton gave a presentation at Bethel University in St. Paul, MN. In this 4 minute excerpt from his speech below, he issues a dire warning to all Americans regarding the United Nations Climate Change Treaty, scheduled to be signed in Copenhagen in December 2009. 

The treaty establishes a one-world Communist government.   The worry is that because of the intrinsic nature in which our Constitution holds foreign treaties, this document, if ratified by Congress, will supercede the Constitution in Authority in this land.   The treaty will, of course, be signed under the banner of coming together internationally to “save the environment” through the reduction of carbon emissions, something we know Obama is already sworn to enact himself.

America effectively will surrender her sovereignty by the hand of Dear Leader Obama – under the guise of saving the planet from CO2 and they are going to do this whether we like it, oppose it or not.

Hear and see it for yourself.

Obama Messiah “Forgives” Us Hoi-Polloi – While His Cronies Go Nuclear on Healthcare

ObamaAbsolves

‘I Forgive You’ Obama Tells Health Care Overhaul Critics  

It’s a pretty mess you got me into, but I forgive you, That’s how I feel about you. You’re all forgiven.” 

The messiah-complex has gone straight to this narcissist’s head – as he absolves those of us who oppose his Marxist coup and revolution.  Dear Leader Obama Thursday night slammed his critics in Congress for blasting Democratic attempts to overhaul health care before he launched into a christ-like absolution of the same.

“What I reject is when some folks sit on the sidelines and root for failure,” he said at a fundraiser in San Francisco.  “I’m busy, “Nancy (Pelosi)’s busy with her mop cleaning up somebody else’s mess. We don’t want somebody sitting back saying you’re not holding the mop the right way”. 

“Why don’t you grab a mop? Why don’t you help clean up? 
“You’re not mopping fast enough,” the president said, imitating his critics’ comments. 
That’s a socialist mop
“Grab a mop!” he demanded. “Let’s get to work.” 

The hubris narcissist then quoted Abraham Lincoln to describe the situation he inherited in January while blaming the previous Administration – and those who currently oppose his plans.

“I want everybody to know who’s standing in the way of progress, I’m not tired. I’m just getting started. You can throw whatever you want at me. Keep it coming. 

“We’re going to get this done. We’re going to get health care done. We’re going to get clean energy done. We’re going to get climate change done. We’re going to fix our schools. We’re going to fix the problems internationally that I was elected to deal with.” 

“We are going to pass health care reform by the end of this year….. Change is hard. And big change is harder. I don’t quit. We get this stuff done. We keep on going until we get it done.” 

That was followed by the crowd eerily chanting Seig Heil! – er…. “Yes we can!” (same difference).  As many have noted – the Marxists are going to shove their agenda down our throats – whether we like it, or not. Whether 90% of the American population is against it – or not.

Because we have lost the republic to a Marxist coup – and they now run the country.

And how will they ram Obama’s final nail in the coffin of liberty when there are enough doubters even on the Democrat side to sideline his Fascist takeover of Health Care?

The nuclear option, which excused criminal tax evader Charlie Rangel has set in motion yesterday by passing the motion out of the House Ways and Means Committee.

The Marxists will do everything and anything to impose their will upon us and the country – until they reach the point that Obama can act by simple decree.

Human Events reports the maneuvering:

Quote:
The House of Representatives yesterday set into motion the nuclear option for H.R. 3200 that would make it possible for the Senate to pass government-run health care with only 51 votes.   

House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) held the mandatory hearing yesterday to pass the formal notification in the form of a letter to the Budget Committee saying H.R. 3200 — the main House Obamacare bill which was the subject of all the town hall rage in August — has met all requirements to pass as a “budget reconciliation” measure.’

Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.), the top Republican on the House Ways & Means Committee, spoke with HUMAN EVENTS yesterday about events at the hearing and maneuvers by House Democrats to give their Senate comrades the opportunity to shut down debate on the bill in the Senate with 51 votes instead of the required 60.

“Under the rules, they had to have a hearing in committee in order to be able to position themselves to move through a process called reconciliation,” Camp said. “They had to send the bill to the Budget Committee to do that.”

The notification is in the form of a letter certifying that the Ways & Means Committee has met the requirements set forth in the budget bill.

“Attached to the letter would be the bill,” Camp said. “So this sends the bill to the Budget Committee to vote it out. They’re setting up the nuclear option, not having any Republican votes for this bill. They’re setting up that process.”

“That is an amendable document,” Camp continued. “It’s an amendable process. There’s an opportunity to have amendments and have debate. They shut that completely down.”

The notification letter passed out of the Ways & Means Committee on a straight party line vote. No debate was allowed, and no amendments. Rangel told Camp that he would not have preferred to do it this way, but leadership — i.e., Speaker Pelosi — forced his hand. 

“We had let them know we were offering amendments and we had heard no problem with that until we got there today,” Camp said. “Chairman Rangel said leadership made him do it, but he did it, not the leadership.”

This was the final opportunity for debate and amendments to the bill on a committee level. The Budget Committee will simply vote to pass the bill out with an up or down vote that would certify that the bill has met the reconciliation requirements.

“It’s supposed to only be bills that impact the deficit,” Camp added. “And what they’ve done is said this bill will save a billion dollars. That’s what we were ordered under the budget resolution to do. They’ll fulfill that marker, but they’ll use that obviously to spend a lot more.”

The bill being certified for “reconciliation” is the Ways & Means version of H.R. 3200 that was passed out of committee before the August break, and before it was read aloud at town hall meetings across the country and blasted by voters across the country.

It contains all of the horrors previously exposed: federal funding of abortion, coverage for illegal aliens, comparative effectiveness, healthcare rationing, deep cuts to Medicare. Everything the American people overwhelmingly reject.

“Since the time we voted on this bill until today, we’ve had new issues develop, we’ve had new scores from the Congressional Budget Office which is the non-partisan expert agency that reviews our legislation,” Camp said. “We felt it was important to talk about the issues. We’ve had some new developments, new information.” 

“Let’s have 72 hours to read the bill and have the bill available,” Camp continued. “That didn’t get any certain discussion today. Let’s make sure members of Congress are part of any health care bill that passes. That didn’t get any debate today. Let’s make sure that we do not have non-citizens here illegally getting government funded healthcare. Let’s make sure we don’t use tax dollars to fund and pay for abortion. We didn’t get to vote on that today.” 

Reconciliation is a parliamentary process that was created for use solely on the reduction of spending bills in order to reduce the deficit. Spending bills must originate in the House, and when passing the budget, the full House can include language in the budget bill to a specific committee instructing them to reduce spending by a specific amount in order to reduce the deficit. 

Having learned from the 1993 Hillarycare debacle when the American people utterly rejected the notion of the government takeover of health care, House Democrats placed reconciliation language into the 2010 budget to facilitate passage of the government takeover of health care with Obamacare through budget reconciliation. In the case of H.R. 3200, the reconciliation instruction was to reduce the cost of the health care bill by $1 billion — a bill that by some estimates will cost taxpayers a minimum of $1.6 trillion.

“This is after August when the American people clearly weighed in and said, ‘Hey, hold up. We want to be part of this. We want to have some more openness,’” Camp said. “I think they feel the less people know the better; that they, the majority, are better off because they don’t have to explain. People don’t know what it is they’re really doing. We won’t find out until it’s actually done.”

Since it has now cleared the Ways and Means Committee (fulfilling the $1 billion reconciliation requirement), H.R. 3200 will go to the Budget Committee where they will do the same thing that was done today in Ways & Means. They will agree on a straight party line vote that the bill has met the reconciliation requirements.

The bill then goes to Pelosi and the Rules Committee where Pelosi will do the same thing Sen. Harry Reid is doing with the two Senate bills right now: Pelosi will merge the three House versions of H.R. 3200 together into whatever she wants it to be, then she will schedule it for a floor vote.

H.R. 3200 could see a floor vote in the next two weeks, likely no later than the first week of November if Democrats believe they have the votes for passage. If the bill does pass a full House vote, and that’s a big “if” given the deep divides over the issues among Democrats, the bill would then be sent over to the Senate.

Ronald Reagan Warned Us About Obama-Care

ObamaCare

This speech, given by Ronald Reagan in 1961, is worth re-listening to given the final push to institute a Marxist-Socialist health plan on the nation by Obama and his Politburo cronies in the Congress.  The demonization of doctors, nurses and insurance companies by these tyrants – is no different than the kinds of demonization that Communists have been known for before they take over an industry and enslave a people.

“Back in 1927 an American socialist, Norman Thomas, six times candidate for president on the Socialist Party ticket, said the American people would never vote for socialism. But he said under the name of liberalism the American people would adopt every fragment of the socialist program. There are many ways in which our government has invaded the free precincts of private citizens, method of earning a living; our government is in business to the extent of owning more than 19,000 businesses covering 47 different lines of activity. This amounts to 1/5th of the total industrial capacity of the United States.

But at the moment I would like to talk about another one because this threat is with us, and at the moment, more imminent.

One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project, most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it. Now, the American people, if you put it to them about socialized medicine and gave them a chance to choose, would unhesitatingly vote against it. We have an example of this. Under the Truman administration it was proposed that we have a compulsory health insurance program for all people in the United States, and, of course, the American people unhesitatingly rejected this.

So with the American people on record as not wanting socialized medicine, Congressman Ferrand introduced the Ferrand bill. This was the idea that all people of social security age, should be brought under a program of compulsory health insurance. This would not only be our senior citizens, this would be the dependents and those that are disabled, this would be young people if they are dependents of someone eligible for social security.”   – Ronald Reagan, 1961

Sound familiar?  Listen to the entire speech in detail to understand that America was given a prophetic and dire warning by no less than one of our greatest modern statesmen way back in 1961 about the very issue and acts this Politburo Congress and Marxist-In-Chief are imposing on the entire nation as I post this.

AN EXHAUSTED NATION CRIES FOR HELP

by John Galt

As the empty homes and farms become a blur throughout my drive across the middle of Florida I notice the little things that tell me that our society, our people, our nation is tired, beaten and worn down after a decade of incompetence, conspiracy, criminal activity and an almost surreal level of wealth extraction and destruction.  From every other cyclical down turn our nation had a moral compass that allowed us to rebuild, restore and renew our system yet this time it feels as if the unique character that allows the decadal restoration to occur is being obstructed by a new, unique power structure determined to divert our society down a failed path of socialist utopia, leaving the average citizen enslaved to the nation state.

As I passed through the small village of Wahneta, Florida I noticed a twenty something year old unshaven and worn man sitting on the back of his old SUV holding a hastily made cardboard sign that simply said “I need work” yet the traffic kept flowing as nobody could help. You see similar scenes throughout the Southeastern states in the small and large towns, where the grocery stores are often backed up with lines of women holding their crying children attempting to pay for their groceries with the government food stamps or sitting in the parking lot asking for handouts. It begs a question to the ivory tower economists and their ilk; is this the ‘recovery’ you claim is under way or is it just because you were able to scalp another 15% by manipulating retiree stock accounts for one more churn and putting more citizens out into the streets?

Meanwhile the government of some of the people designed now to profit a few of the people is attempting to assault the remaining freedoms under our Constitution and diminish the ability of the masses to remove the corrupt souls from their positions of power. The opposition is embattled and assaulted verbally and via various goon squads be they private community organizers, trade unions or the ultimate power, the IRS and their gun carrying Gestapo like police force. Thus speaking out or defending your freedoms now is no longer a no-risk proposition, you have to accept that just by reading or speaking out is no longer a luxury it is a danger which will only become more perilous as the grip on a new supreme power center tightens.  The period of heightened danger has arrived, but will those in control listen to what the masses say and others warn?

A Large Dangerous Giant Slumbers but for How Long?

As the statists continue to poke and prod at the giant, they fail to realize who and what this giant consists of. The mainstream media would have you believe it to be a vast right wing conspiracy. The left wing would have you believe it is nothing but a bunch of kooks. The Republican Party would have you believe it is nothing but a group of disgruntled anti-government types who must be minimalized to insure the status quo remains. Yet this game all parties play ignores the fact that tens of millions of Americans are begging, pleading, beseeching these fools to not awaken this giant from its slumber, to allow it to sleep and satisfy its need for freedom, prosperity and peaceful existence.

They have not and will not listen though.

This giant holds true to the original intent of our nation, our traditions, our freedoms and the ideals of its founders. Parts of this giant stand on the wall, protecting these elites from enemies both foreign and domestic. Other members of this giant just work, pay their taxes and create or expand our society via economic expansion though these members are tiring from the acceleration of the assault on their freedoms. To attempt to destroy the heritage and history this giant believes in will awaken this giant and yet the statists persist in tormenting the beast.

I warn you now:

Do not wake up this beast.

Allow it to slumber. Allow it to live under the beliefs, freedoms and original intent of our founding fathers. Allow America to stay a free, Constitutional God fearing nation.

If you do not abide by these wishes, I warn you based on the history of our country and the resolve of the citizens when their ire crosses the border of resolution via traditional manners.

The giant is vengeful.

The giant is merciless.

The giant is righteous yet wicked in its methods.

The consequences of forcing our nation to change against its will is not a swing in the pendulum of history; it is the destruction of the pendulum and rebirth of a new nation.

The giant will end all discussions, all contemplations, all neutrality and settle all matters and any scores without logic or reason if need be.

I beg you elites to quit prodding, poking, attacking and taunting the giant before it is too late.

Actions and Words Have Consequences

If the elites fail to heed these warnings, which they usually do throughout history, the giant will finish its work and resume the task of living and working. It will no longer be a socialist or corporatist utopia. It will no longer be a union as we recognize it today, but a new confederation of nations, each with differing beliefs, governance and economies. The words and actions of those in the positions of the elite are playing the people as suckers yet the fail to realize that if the choice is between enslavement and the deconstruction of the Republic, many will choose the latter while many others will have other options imposed upon them.

As the new creation emerges as a confederation of states and nations, some might elect to unite with other nations almost as colonial subjects, be it a “world” entity like the United Nations or Commonwealth style subjects to continue the Marxist fantasy of world Socialist domination and unification. The union will be irrevocably shattered as many nations and powers will elect to profit and benefit from the dissolution of our country. Alliances will be created out of thin air as mercantilists and geopolitical strategists understand how the new nations will function, much like the destruction of the U.S.S.R. or Yugoslavia.

Many individual Americans will probably reap huge profits from such a historic event by trading freedoms for peace and alliances for funding and power. Think not of this period as just an economic event because it shall be one that shapes two generations of our neighbors and friends, and survivors in democratic countries throughout the world. The arrogant claim of “it can’t happen hear” shall be silenced like the voices of the suffering Jews during the Nazi engineered holocaust of the 1930’s and 1940’s. Yet so few understand that this will cross many borders and eradicate many myths of superiority and invincibility propagated by decades of peace, slothfulness and ignorance of world affairs.

1861 or 1991?

This begs the question that we must all pray someone is paying attention to; will we dissolve as our ancestors did in 1861 or as modern day Yugoslavia in 1991? I fear that we will first test the waters of economic and political incompetence much like Argentina did then proceed to the dreaded outcome as our people suffer greater and greater inequities and the freedoms are destroyed state by state, soul by soul. I thus propose that in our current time line it is 1860 and the mixing cup is being filled. It will be shaken, stirred and poured out on top as a noxious cocktail of gasoline and kerosene on top of a raging fire, which explodes in the face of the elitist cooks.

Remember that throughout history great empires and nations were rarely conquered, most imploded from within. The self-immolation usually consisted of slaughter and pillage that most civilized souls rarely imagined with the elites escaping through the back door like Roman rulers fleeing the barbarians before they arrived at the gates, leaving the nation open for the worst of consequences.

Only God and the victors know what the new evolutionary outcome will be and what it will mean for all individuals who survive. The is no honor in a victory when one surrenders their freedoms to achieve it and that is what makes most Americans unique to the era we are entering. Thus you have to decide whether or not to engage and work with those that only believe in the Founders vision and use God’s guidance in your decisions to come. Compromise in times like these is nothing more than politically correct phrase for appeasement; never trade your values to these vultures, ever.

I remind you that capitulation to tyrrany will result in a modern American holocaust far worse than anything experienced in human history. Thus this is my one and only bugler’s call to action. Prepare as if there is no tomorrow because now, there is not. Remember how tired you are now and the cries for help you hear about you? America is crying for help, exhausted, unable to lift her arms to the heavens with the torch of freedom. You will have plenty of time to sleep though when you are dead. Rest not for we are at the crossroads of history where corruption is the rule of the day, unseen since the times of Lincoln, Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt and FDR.  Thus you must move beyond “hope” as that is nothing more than a request of others to prepare for you; evil is in full mobilization now and the powers of purity and good are so, so sadly far behind.

Marxists in the Politburo Move to Seize Control of All Water

 

From Bathtubs To Baptismal Fonts, Congress Moves To Give the Corps of Engineers and EPA Control Of All U.S. Waters

It’s interesting in terms of strategy that Obama and the Marxists in the Politburo have not only taken control of all food growth and production in the country with the passage of H.R. 2749 that they now move to seize control of all waterways, fisheries, lakes and ocean areas in the country.

If history is any indication – such moves inevitably lead to starvation and genocide of the people the Marxists want to get out of the way, and subject the population to slave status to the state.

Congress Moves To Seize Control Of All U.S. Waters

Having been slapped down by the U. S. Supreme Court’s two recent decisions that the words “navigable waters” in the Clean Water Act limited federal agencies to regulation of navigable waters only. Democrats and liberal Republicans in Congress are striking back.

They are attempting to pass the Clean Water Restoration Act of 2009 (No House Number – S 787 In Senate) that would amend the 1972 Clean Water Act and replace the words “navigable waters” with “waters of the United States.” 

Further, it defines “waters of the United States” with such breathtaking scope that federal agencies would be required to regulate use of every square inch of the U.S., both public and private.

The proposed definition states: “The term ‘waters of the United States’ means all waters subject to ebb and flow of the tides, the territorial seas, and all interstate and intrastate waters and their tributaries, including lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, wet meadows, playa lakes [a flat dried up area, esp. a desert basin…] natural ponds and all impoundment of the foregoing, to the fullest extent that these waters are subject to the legislative power of Congress under the Constitution.”

Obviously, those behind this legislation have only contempt for the Constitution, limited government and private property rights.  To understand what the framers of the Constitution intended, one need only look to their writings and the writings of those from whom they took wisdom and direction.  A few of thousands of quotes follow:

“The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as sacred as the law of God, and that there is not a force of law and public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.  If ‘Thou shalt not covet’ and ‘Thou shalt not steal’ were not commandments from Heaven, they must be made inviolable precepts in every society before it can be civilized or made free.” – John Adams, A Defence of the Constitution of the United States against the Attacks of M. Turgot, 1787.

“What a man has honestly acquired is absolutely his own, which he may freely give, but cannot be taken from him without his consent.” – Samuel Adams, Massachusetts Circular Letter, 1768.

 “…’tis not without reason that [man] seeks out, and is willing to join in society with others who are already united, or have a mind to unite for the mutual preservation of their lives, liberties and estates which I call by the name of property.” – John Locke, Second Treatise of Government, 1690

Quote 4: “The property which every man has in his own labor, as it is the foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable.” – Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations, 1776

 

Feds to 60 Million American Fishermen: We don’t need you

 

A recently published administration document outlines a structure that could result in closures of sport fishing in salt and freshwater areas across America. The White House created an Interagency Oceans Policy Task Force in June and gave them only 90 days to develop a comprehensive federal policy for all U.S. coastal, ocean and Great Lakes waters. Under the guise of ‘protecting’ these areas, the current second phase of the Task Force direction is to develop zoning which may permanently close vast areas of fishing waters nationwide. This is to be completed by December 9, 2009.
