It's About Leaving Room to Learn from our Mistakes Thing

Dear America,

"14th PRINCIPLE: 

Life and Liberty are Secure 

Only so Long as

 the Right to Property is Secure" 

from The 5000 Year Leap, 

by W. Cleon Skousen 

National Center for Constitutional Studies

from family, to the rooms we find shelter...

John Locke, an Englishman, great thinker, influenced America's founding without question -- which is kinda funny, cuz this rather not so attractive Englishman questioned everything.  But out of the many things our founding fathers appreciated, was Locke's understanding of human nature.  So much so, our founders shaped a system of government recognizing the importance of subduing our natural, less admirable, inclinations, to protect us from ourselves.

The basis for all of it came from our belief in God -- and to add a quote from Locke:

"God, who hath given the world to men in common, hath also given them reason to make use of it fro the best advantage of life and convenience."

If God gave man dominion over the earth, we best figure out how to care for it, and the very welfare of one another, in common.

And this led Locke on the path to understanding the value of property and subsequently, private property rights.

As Skousen points out in "The Leap"...."if property rights did not exist, four things would occur that would completely frustrate the Creator's command to multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it and bring it under dominion." (See also the Book of Genesis)

continuing with Skousen's  four things:

1. One experience like the above (a story where a guy made improvements on his property and as soon as he was finished, his next door neighbor came rushing in to take it from him) would tend to completely destroy the incentive of an industrious person to develop and improve any more property
2. The industrious individual would also be deprived of the fruits of his labor
3. Marauding bands would even be tempted to go about the country confiscating by force and violence the good things which others had frugally and painstakingly provided
4. Mankind would be impelled to remain on a bare-subsistence level of hand-to-mouth survival because the accumulation of anything would invite attack

As Locke maintains, the actual fact of the matter is, property "is an extension of a person's life, energy, and ingenuity.  Therefore, to destroy or confiscate such property is, in reality, an attack on the essence of life itself."

And this is where the common man of modern day misses the mark, somewhat;  And Justice George Sutherland of the U.S. Supreme Court answers to just that, saying:

"It is not the right of property, which is protected, but the right to property. Property, per se, has no rights; but the individual -- the man -- has three great rights, equally sacred from arbitrary interference:  the right to his LIFE, the right to his LIBERTY, the right to his PROPERTY...The three rights are so bound together as to be essentially one right.  To give a man his life but deny him his liberty, is to take from him all that makes his life worth living.  To give him his liberty but take away from him the property which is the fruit and badge of his liberty, is to still leave him a slave."  Taken from Principle or Expedient?  Annual Address to the NY State Bar Association, 21 January 1921

And, just for the record, these three great rights, interwoven into the fabric of our lives, come from GOD, our Creator -- not government, not man.

It is mind-boggling, this absurd rise of attraction to socialism.  For its chief tenet is to allow government to have all the property, to equalize property ownership across the land, and keep everyone living in a uniformed, static state, continuously, from one generation to the next.

Where's the incentive in that?

Where's the enjoyment and satisfaction of the fruits of our labor?

Is this Bernie's answer to help the poor?

Let's keep quoting from "The Leap" shall we?

Abraham Lincoln once said this --

"Property is the fruit of labor.  Property is desirable, is a positive good in the world.  That some should be rich shows that others may become rich and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise.  Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently to build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence....I take it that it is best for all to leave each man free to acquire property as fast as he can.  Some will get wealthy.  I don't believe in a law to prevent man from getting rich; it would do more harm than good."

Encouragement to individual industry and enterprise....

that is how America was designed and made.

If you really consider what kind of Constitutional crisis America has found herself, Nancy Pelosi -- then we must consider how the rights of man have been usurped and played with over time, through acts unbecoming of a republic, through the constant tweaking of the law of the land, through congress!  To which end, making a total mockery of America's Constitution!  

It is precisely this series of slow usurpation's that has destroyed us!   Everyone's life, everyone's liberty, everyone's property, everyone's happiness has been hacked by congressional hacks and administrations steeped in arrogance and misguided interpretations of the law.

And in proper turn, and over time, we have eventually arrived at our current government, that which freely gives the fruits of its industrious citizens away, every day -- supporting all kinds of programs on behalf of the concern for the general welfare. This practice changed only a few generations ago, late 1930's.  Up until then, it was unlawful to transfer property, fruits of any kind, from one to another.  Up until such time, it was up to the goodness of the people's hearts, of the community, of the church congregation, to support its poor and help provide for basic needs.   And it worked well.

Helping the poor, provided another reason for industry and enterprise to succeed -- thereby allowing for a growing, private wealth, a people blessed with so much, an opportunity to drive a compassionate spirit and give back, for the benefit of the whole community.

These are dangerous times, because the fundamental changes we are constantly making, in the ways we govern and live in this land, have the power to change everything, destroying the wealth and culture America is known for.  The stuff that made America pretty great, actually.

so there you go...

in my anticipation of reaching a thousand entries --
today's blog is a tribute to vintage G, blogs of yore --
for, in the beginning, this girl quoted The 5000 Year Leap a lot!
Love that leap, love that leap.

this is  #998 signing off; see you tomorrow -- no, like, really xoxo it's part of my latest, and most enterprising, goal of mine....to show up, like, four calendar days in a row!
ah yes -- the fruits of my labor --  is simply in the joy of being the keeper of the record for you all.
you're welcome. teehee  


The thing is,  at the end of any given day, there is always room to learn from our mistakes. 
It's how we all grow up, as a people.

Make it a Good Day, G

It's For the Whole Human Race Thing

Dear America,

the eagle has landed...

in Latin America.

Ahead of his visit, the welcome wagon included May Day protests burning President Obama in effigy, and basically, asking him to go home before he even got there.  Take a look, here.

The president's intentions during his three-day-tour --

"There's so much more to the relationship - in terms of commerce, in terms of trade, in terms of energy. And so we want to highlight some of the close cooperation that's already been taking place and to continue to build on that, so that we're creating more jobs and more opportunity on both sides of the borders."

Much like President Obama's annual State of the Union address,  his all too predictable modus operandi to effect change by nudge or by judge, the never ending campaigns to force his fundamental transformation from the inside out  -- the perpetual propagandist-in-chief that he is --  his intention over the next three days is to diminish America's significance while elevating everything Latina  in order to raise the conversation and "[cover] competiveness, education and innovation, along with border infrastructure, commerce, migration and citizen security among other subjects of shared interest."   It's sort of a mutually assured destruction kind of thing.

But you know -- you would think --- if Latin America is, in fact, America's "backyard" as according to our very own Secretary of State, John Kerry --   you would think all of this would be a non-issue, no?  Like    Mi Casa es Su Casa.  Mi puerta trasera es su puerta trasera.  

Oh. 
Oops.

And what gives?  Sure hope he's there to get reimbursed.

Has Obama already run out of venues here in the states to force feed his agenda down our throats, in a nanny state meets mother bird kind of way?  

Has Obama traveled through the streets of east L.A., Barrio Logan, or any of the many barrios and gang territories riddled throughout the landscape of the sunshine state that isn't Florida?  Aw hell, let's go ahead and look at Florida, too.   Eureka! 

Has Obama studied the demographics of our prisons? 

Has Obama recognized the actual costs of welfare, food stamps, medical care as it directly pertains to the growth of illegal immigrant homesteads throughout the nation?

Is Obama that out of touch?   [Rumor has it, he is...see here.]

[In the olden days, immigrants could come to America only if they had a sponsor waiting for them, never becoming a financial burden upon the citizens of this country.] 

But that's not even the half of it -- when searching for articles on all this -- take a guess as to which media entity popped up first.   Aljazeera!

Yes, indeed.  Those quotes up top came from a post written by Mike Allison, courtesy of Aljazeera online, the English version.

It's a fascinating read from the "associate professor of Political Science department at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania" considering it includes this commentary:

"The US is in no position today, nor has it really even been, to lecture the people of Mexico and Central America on democracy and human rights. Gridlock in the US Congress, drone-enabled killings without due process for enemy combatants, even if they are US citizens, the ongoing embarrassment that is Guantanamo Bay, and its wavering support for democracy in Honduras, are only four recent issues that undermine US authority to speak out on human rights and democracy."

oh okay, Mike.  Now I understand appearing on an outlet like Aljazeera, a certain point of view is probably expected if publication is the goal, but honestly... "[T]he US is in no position today, nor has it really ever been, to lecture the people of Mexico and Central America on democracy and human rights?"  Is that your final answer?

Is the view from Scranton that bad?   While your red lines drawn between what is deemed prevention, intervention, and convention seems blurry, at best; perhaps you should check the lens -- where was it made?  Or maybe it just needs polished.


The thing is,
no longer are we enamored with what it took to get here; the shiny glittery illuminations lodged between the twigs and leaves seem to be losing their luster.

We are no longer aware, cognizant, of the wealth of nations who walked the earth before us, from which we found our way; the founders dug deep back in the day in order to unearth the best of government, civility, morality, in an effort to profoundly lay the foundation to build a new world not necessarily by man, but by Divine Providence.

America was the first of it's kind.

Where is the John Adams of today? 

"I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in Providence for the illumination of the ignorant, and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth."

The Alexander Hamilton's --

"It has been frequently remarked that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force."

The John Jay's -- 

"With equal pleasure I have often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people -- a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsel, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a  long and bloody war, have nobly established their general liberty and independence...

This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a band of brethren, united to each other by the strongest ties, should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties."  (Federalist Papers, No. 2, pg. 38, plucked from the pages of The 5000 Year Leap, by W. Cleon Skousen)

It's funny, Bolivia can kick people out, effective immediately; (kinda unrelated, but timely) North Korea can arrest and sentence an American on suspect charges -- condemned to 15 years of hard labor -- if only to egg us on (because the threat of annihilation by nuclear weapon of every country within range is not enough);  to enter Singapore -- "Entry requirements for immigration to Singapore for foreigners are a valid travel document (6 months minimum), a return ticket or entry facilities to the next destination and sufficient funds to stay in Singapore."   

While here's an interesting exchange to humanize what it takes to immigrate to Mexico -- even though it's old news via CNN (circa 2010):

BLITZER: So if people want to come from Guatemala or Honduras or El Salvador or Nicaragua, they want to just come into Mexico, they can just walk in?
CALDERON: No. They need to fulfill a form. They need to establish their right name. We analyze if they have not a criminal precedent. And they coming into Mexico. Actually…
BLITZER: Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people they suspect are illegal immigrants?
CALDERON: Of course. Of course, in the border, we are asking the people, who are you?
And if they explain…
BLITZER: At the border, I understand, when they come in.
CALDERON: Yes.
BLITZER: But once they’re in…
CALDERON: But not — but not in — if — once they are inside the — inside the country, what the Mexican police do is, of course, enforce the law. But by any means, immigration is a crime anymore in Mexico.
BLITZER: Immigration is not a crime, you’re saying?
CALDERON: It’s not a crime.
BLITZER: So in other words, if somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America, through the southern border of Mexico, they wind up in Mexico, they can go get a job…
CALDERON: No, no.
BLITZER: They can work.
CALDERON: If — if somebody do that without permission, we send back — we send back them

For the full read, just go to The Daily Caller, here, "Let’s adopt Mexico’s ‘fair’ and ‘respectful’ immigration policy."

So the eagle has landed
south of the border --
to campaign,
to grow relations,
to gain popularity and buy the Hispanic voting block in the light of day,
to make promises and intentions known that ultimately jeopardize our nation's unity, our nation's principles, our nation's security, our nation's economic future,
ever
so
slowly,
to necessarily chip away at the integrity of the eagle's nest.

Oh, you doubt?

Just watch the shadow move across the prairie,
the purple mountains majesty,
from sea to shining sea,
from Tijuana to D.C.

and now giving the last word to James Madison:

"Happily for America, happily we trust FOR THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE, they pursued a new and more noble course.  They accomplished a revolution which has no parallel in the annals of human society.  They reared the fabrics of governments which have no model on the face of the globe.  They formed the design of a great Confederacy, which it is incumbent on their successors to improve and perpetuate. (Federalist Papers, No. 14, pp104-5; emphasis added, and happily making a second Leap)

Make it a Good Day, G
 

It's About Communists Without Labels (or borders) Thing

Dear America,

you know The Naked Communist was written way back in the fifties.  Towards the end of the book, Skousen reports that " 'Communism' has become universally unpopular."  Going on to say, just the mere mention of the word sends a certain chill up the spine, sending anyone in their right mind running in the opposite direction, and most likely clothed, if not fully armored.

It's an entire chapter on the "Secret Weapon of Communism."

But it's when I read this, that my head bows in disgrace, shaking....for he asks a simple question:  "But how many Americans could recognize a Communist without his label?"

and feel free...substitute Marxist, or Socialist, or Fascist...as you like.

Noting Communism is primarily in the business of propaganda, it doesn't take much to indoctrinate the ignorant, the poor, the uneducated, the vulnerable.  What's not to love, "the idea of sharing the wealth appeals to the masses."   Naturally.

Which is funny, especially in light of what Skousen gives us to chew on next -- a quick reminder of what it's like between the have's and the have not's:

"[However] when the Communists took over in Russia you will recall that the first thing they did was impose upon the Russian people a form of economics which we got rid of back in the feudal days.  It is a system where a privileged few dispense the necessities of life to the serfs who work for them and rely upon them for protection and leadership."

oh you don't say?

but I digress.

Let's scroll back up a wee bit and settle in on the question again -- can we recognize a Communist without his label when we meet him?

Let me answer that for you.

That would be a no.

Skousen then bounces off the propaganda platform making four sound bullet points responsible for the cornerstones of Communism, going something like this (actually, it goes exactly like this...quoting directly from  The Naked Communist now, pp. 353-361):

• "Everything in existence came about as a result of ceaseless motion among the forces of nature -- everything is a product of accumulated accident.  There is no design.  There is not law.  There is no God.  There is only force, the force of nature.  Force is right, force is good, force is natural."  ...especially when it comes nudge by nudge...

• "Human beings are only graduate beasts -- and therefore human life is no more sacred that that of a centipede, a caterpillar or a pig. The completely reckless disregard for human life is the most striking, single characteristic of  'materialism in action'." ...and embracing the totally disposable human being beginning in the womb...

• "There is no such thing as innate right or wrong --  [quoting Skousen, quoting a Commie  leader  now]   ' To lie, is that wrong?  Not for a good cause.  To kill, is that wrong?  Not for a good cause.'  [adding the welcome translation]  We call that pragmatism -- that the end justifies the means."  aka the Chicago way...

• "That all religion must be overthrown because it inhibits the spirit of world revolution --  It was the feeling of Marx, Engels, and their fellow travelers that the deep spiritual convictions of the people hindered their acceptance of Communist philosophy and Communist rule.  It kept them from capturing the revolutionary spirit.   It kept them from lying and stealing and killing when leaders commanded it.  In other words, a card carrying Communist must carry on propaganda that fully supports Atheism.. hence, the reason for the about face through the progressive court system -- advocating and affirming the unconscionable, and unconstitutional,  attacks upon a basic human right -- religious freedom.

Stop:  what, pray tell, do these things remind you of?  who does this remind you of?
 
Skousen then tells a long story about a guy named Igor Gouzenko, who travels from Russia to Canada and finds a better life...la di la di la da...and after years of working from the inside, from Russia with love, with his vast array of knowledge he attempts to save Canada from an awful fate.  And no one believes him or trusts him, at first.   Short story even shorter, Canadians see the light and they also offer him protective custody (because he needed it!).

And immediately we get a few more nuggets of wisdom -- this time coming from Igor's perspective, when he points out what should be the obvious:  "there is a defect in your culture when your own people can grow up in your midst without gaining any appreciation of the difference between freedom and slavery, between idealism and atheism, between faith and doubt, or between order and chaos."

Describing the typical Communist convert --   Skousen asks us,

"can you just imagine yourself giving this reply:   ' I must confess that, in my heart of hearts, I do not believe that there is any God or Divine Intelligence guiding the human race.  Therefore, I suppose I should feel it my duty as one of the superior intelligences of my generation -- and for the sake of humanity -- to collaborate with your movement which is destined to take over and save the race from itself."    

And finally, in summation: 

"Every time we produce a boy or girl who is trained to believe that the universe is the product of accumulated accident, that human beings are only graduate beasts [and entirely disposable, starting at conception],  that there is no such thing as innate right and wrong or that deep spiritual convictions are old-fashioned and unnecessary, then we have caused a casualty among our own ranks in the field of ideological warfare."

Communism is so charming, isn't it?

But just look at us now...Can we recognize Communism without a label when we see it?

America is embracing the principles of Communism right now!  Matter of fact, at the rate we are going, the words on the page can't keep up with the number of converts and anarchists and revolutionaries and atheists. 

We have a president taking us through fundamental transformation -- just like he said he was going to do, by the way -- leading us into a new era in America.  

None of it has a label on it.   It's Communism without labels, borders, good intentions, or history on it's side.

In normal situations, this shouldn't be anything more than a problem with distribution, not packaging. 

But not this time; not in this age. 

As we welcome the new idiocy being manufactured at an alarming rate, given birth to a cultural phenomenon that is responsible for changing our traditions, re-writing our history, transforming every facet of our daily life into a faithless, soul-less, casualty of ideological warfare. 

Instead of spreading the wealth the real way, the American way -- aka multiplying our abundance -- we are languishing under a brand new mindset... overwhelmed and systematically burdened through an equal sharing of misery, envy, ignorance, liabilities, lies and insolvency. 

You really think a secular, spiritually inept, culturally wounded, economically unstable, immoral, uneducated lot has the capacity to overcome this "secret weapon"?   Oh, then I've got a recently vacant palace in Cairo I wanna show you.

It's a sad day when we cease to recognize just what makes life in America so charming.

It's an intangible ideal that unfortunately has proven harder and harder to bottle over the years -- to label appropriately, more fully, in all of it's glory, and for all it's worth.   Manufacturing a product that is consistently of high quality, commandeering the finest of ingredients, and held to exceptional standards at all times, seems to be an elusive trick of the trade. More important, you may be noticing, torn off from all four corners, absent is the fine print -- defining the inherent responsibility and duty to even hold such a thing in your hand.

A priceless commodity, Americanism; and currently, it's under rapid fire by a secret weapon without a label on it.  Take stock, for the shelves, these times, they are a-changin'.  hmmm Charmed...I'm sure-errr (say it like a valley- serf- girl, it's just more fun).

Make it a Good Day, G

I can't believe one of the good guys is bailing from the Senate.  I must trust Divine Providence for this news that seems devastating on the surface.  The Good News, he isn't going away -- he will be leading one of my favorite hang outs...The Heritage Foundation.

THANK YOU W.Cleon Skousen for The Naked Communist...Armor thy self and get yourself a copy today.

It's an Inside Job Thing

 
Dear America,

happy friday.
we're gonna get right at it with some G TV, courtesy of youtube:


oh he is just so charming, isn't he now?

but let's take a look at one of the things he said here -- "Washington can't be changed from the inside."  We're all talking about that today.  Which is funny, considering ---

When he first got elected -- he carried the majority in the House, the Senate, and of course, the Executive Branch.  ALL THREE were all his and at his disposal for change for the first two years.

He could have reformed immigration if he wanted to; heck, he's on the road to ignoring congress altogether now, simply by bestowing a new executive order providing for immediate, although disconcerting, exemptions all on his own.

But let's disregard that little truth, and moveon.org...THIS PRESIDENT of ours cannot take ownership for anything.  

"Washington can't be changed from the inside."

But I thought you said you were ready for this.
I thought you said, you could change Washington.

Falling back on lamentations of the task at hand, it is difficult to follow the rules of good government, isn't it Mr. President?   Though quick to point out:

"That's how I got elected, [from the outside]

and that's how the big accomplishments 

like Health Care got done  [from the outside]

because we were able to mobilize 

the American people to speak out."[from the outside]

 -- the best changes came from the outside [so he says, don't you believe it for a minute].

Well, um Univision audience ....."I got elected"...that's a good thing, we can all hang our sombrero on that, right -- as if he's still an outsider -- and all while letting his narcissist freak flag fly.  masterfully done there, mr. president.

And then we go right into his biggest accomplishment:  the Health Care Law  [I guess this wouldn't be the week to gloat again about killing Osama bin Laden... like you did throughout the DNC]   anywho...

The president credits "the outside" -- not congress,  not even a mention -- for the "Affordable Care Act."

wow.  that might come as a surprise to many Americans who saw "congress" working behind closed doors for months, even shutting out some congressmen, before bearing witness to its rapturous unveiling.

SO if I am hearing you correctly, the Affordable Care Act must thank "the grassroots" -- the outside.  yeah okay. [wink wink]    But he couldn't have been any more truthful really; I gotta give him that.  For the majority of the law was penned by a liberal think tank and basically on the ready to lock and load.  It was merely waiting for "due process" to take over and bring it to fruition.  And even then, the people on the real outside had to wait for congress to "pass it to see what's in it" according to the former Speaker, Nancy Pelosi.

Oh and 'The tank':  it's the Center for American Progress.  Lead expert:  Donald Berwick.  But diving into the tank a bit deeper we get to it's rich beginnings:  George  "Schwartz" Soros and his Open Society Institute

No big deal there, I'm sure.

Berwick was placed into position to implement Medicare/Medicaid changes soon after the law passed --  when this observation was quickly made:

"Will the elderly be a favored subgroup? Not under the Obama health law. An April 22 report by Medicare and Medicaid chief actuary Richard Foster shows that the law nearly doubles Medicaid rolls at a cost of $410 billion over the next decade.

To pay for this, the law slashes future Medicare funding by $525 billion over the same period, when 30 percent more people will enter Medicare as baby boomers age. In short, boomers will get less care than today's seniors.

Less care is Berwick's vision. In a speech marking the 60th birthday of the British National Health Service, he praised the NHS for deliberately creating scarcity: 'You [the NHS] plan the supply; you aim a bit low; historically, you prefer slightly too little of a technology or service to much too much and then you search for care bottlenecks and try to relieve them.'"

Berwick confessed, 'I am a romantic about the NHS. I love it. All I have to do to rediscover the romance is to look at the health care in my own country.' He praised the NHS for its central planning, frugality, wealth redistribution and rationing.

And never mind that the majority of "the outside" despise the new law still today -- wanting to repeal or replace all or part of it.  Yes.  You are a good listener...You are my president, too.  Axe? Grind?  Have we met?

but about this business of "Washington can't be changed from the inside."

Are you serious?

Then why on God's great earth should we put you back in office again? 

• clearly, you can't see the forest through the trees; 
• clearly, you need to work inside the beltway a little more often -- in order to know what's in it; 
• clearly, you sound like you have given up;
• clearly, you can't seem to lead this merry band of misfits of congress to redistribute the wealth fast enough;
• clearly, you are just itching to go back to being a community organizer, believing perhaps you can transform America into the Marxist state faster from the outside...
• clearly, you must resent the fact that you resemble "the Inside" now that it's four years later -- 

you sound annoyed.

as we say around my house, are you feeling a smidge cranky?

Hey, Romney wants your job. Romney wants to live in the big white house.

Romney wants to change Washington from the inside out -- starting from the outside in.

You name it; he wants your management migraine.  Maybe you should just give peace a chance and wave the white flag -- just not that newfangled flag your campaign just came up with, for t-shirts and teen posters.  You approved of that message, right?

Going back on something I said at the start -- this president can't take ownership for anything.

Little does he realize that any good CEO worth his salt would never answer the question admitting his failures by pointing his finger elsewhere, outside of himself.  His finger would be pointing inward. like, the buck stops here, you know what I mean?

And about this Washington -- this is the Washington that you built, Mr. President.  Perhaps it's been awhile since you've spent quality time with each other, given the fierce campaign you are running and all.

And speaking of the house that Obama built, I was in the middle of making dinner when I overheard some comments made by John Sununu last night.  He was with Sean Hannity and discussing Obama's foreign policy of late...Sununu said something like "he's just incompetent!"  not to mention sounding totally flustered.

No Sununu ( I just wanna keep saying his name in a funny voice for awhile) -- no, Sununu, I think you got it all wrong.   You fall into the "Judeo-Christian--way too kind --and way too trusting --for our own good" category along with so many of the rest of this country...

THIS presidency is hardly incompetent -- nor is it blind, stupid, inexperienced, or unable to tell the story right to the American people -- nor is it lost in any way, out of control, suffering from inexplicable ignorance or naiveté.  THIS presidency knows exactly what it is doing at all times.

It is just that sinister.  We, the people -- those of us on the outside -- are just way to trusting to want to see it.

But make no mistake, Obama truly wants to be a part of bringing America to her knees.  You might say, it's been a dream of his for quite some time -- influenced by a compilation of a master planned UNIvision from all his mentors over the years.  It's his one true north to make it so -- with the help of all the workers of the world, of course -- call'm the outsiders -- breaking through the 47 percentile as we speak.

The irony of course, is that he, himself, is virtually powerless -- whether he is in or out of the beltway.   He's just a puppet for the liberal elite power block.  He's being used just as he uses the American people. And it's a viscous cycle.

Fundamental Transformation takes time; Obama wants four more years to finish it off, even as he admits today  "Washington can't be changed from the inside."

Don't be fooled.  That's just code for vote for me again so I can keep at it from the inside.

and about this Washington, the one that can't be changed from the inside -- let's take a peek of a page from The Naked Communist, by W. Cleon Skousen [love love love this guy]:

"Political groups solve their problems by entering into negotiations, attending conferences, and working out their differences with bona fide compromises which all parties are expected to perform.  This has never worked with the Communists because they use deceit, disregard of laws, violation of treaties, intimidation, subversion and open insurrection as basic tools of conquest.  This make it a criminal conspiracy."

shocking.

Recommendations, via Skousen, on dealing with a "criminal operation" --given that "negotiation and compromise" are considered far outside the solution domain.  Four steps:

• immobilize the criminal
• render him harmless
• gain his confidence
• rehabilitate him 

 and one more, if I may be so bold to amend... then send him packing.

This is it, folks.

This is the time, and these are the days, that America finds herself at a crossroad.

We are living in a perversion of America's true nature in every way; we are angling against the foothold of Divine Providence; we are counting on humanity to lead us out of the valley, when it takes a God.

Just imagine America only four years ago -- all of our hopes for change, inside and out, were wrapped up into one man.

In a many ways, we committed blaspheme way back then; but now look at us.  Just look at what we have turned into; just look at how broken and splintered we are, as this administration leads by splitting fractions of factions as a way to bring unity.   Is this what democracy looks like?  no thank you.

What more can we really expect from a man, who just so happens to be president, when his entire life has been unapologetically untethered from the very thing most Americans unify with -- that everything, seen and unseen, is a product of our Creator; that our founders were part and parcel of the Divine, that America was created from a Master Plan, all we had to do was keep it -- protect her, respect her, live in unity for the good of the whole.

Leading America requires the perspective of an inside job -- keeping aligned with the essential tools... the ideals, values, principles and strengthened by faith, virtues, duty, and just all-round good conduct.  It's like we're one big country club with everybody allowed.

The first thing communists attack is Nature's God, claiming: "There is no design.  There is no law.  There is no God.  There is only force, the force of nature."  --  with the help of human nature responding accordingly.

There are no accidents.  Everything happens for a reason -- even THIS.

No doubt, this is the time to make a change in Washington from the outside looking into our future.

Your life, my life, our life together, depends upon making the right decision come November.  And for the life of me and pete, just how hard can this be to figure out?

Romney should have 80% of the vote -- taking 20% out to account for the full-blown radicals and riff-raff out there. I have no idea where the media gets its numbers.

[that last part was just thrown in there to make you laugh...it is friday, after all].
