It's in the Light of a New Day Thing

Dear America,

it's a new week, a new day, a new perspective; out with the old and in with the new.

When Barack Hussein Obama won the presidency, the perception by one, if not all, was that we had finally risen above a wide cultural divide -- division by the color of our skin.

HE made it; and made quite the impression, didn't he.

...and the collective soul of a nation finally took a collective breath; WE made it; and we finally see the wonderful world captured in the dream of Martin Luther King come to be for real.   The majority of America is still white, after all -- and white people put a black man into the highest office of the land.

We were promised hope...and change...and transparency...and best of all, a relentless commitment to climate change in Washington D.C. -- to extinguish the status quo, break the barriers between ideologies, and go "line by line" making the hard cuts necessary in order to save us from ourselves.   And he was going to do it -- so we thought -- in such a way that would change us forever.

And let's face it -- we expected dramatic change; to the tune of the parting of the seas and the moving of mountains.

We didn't expect this.

We didn't anticipate the move back to segregation:  by "color-by-number" -- including, but not limited to, religion, race, gender, sexuality...weight...entitlement...district, state, union...small business, wall street...parental rights, statist control... the 1% against the world...the Fed -- usurping the state, usurping the Individual...have's and have-not's and all of us in the middle...even going so far as pitting women against other women.

[especially considering the real numbers...the country is still 40% conservative...click here and find a pretty page explaining the current demographics; it takes you to "Syrin's Blog in Wasilla, Alaska] 

The more this presidency lives on, the further chopped up we get.

but oh, let's be heart-warmed, George Clooney is still experiencing full swing infatuation with the man...given his latest rounds in the media fighting for his cause (Sudan) (most recently seen on Meet the Press with David Gregory) (you'll have to find the links to these stories on your own).

But just how can he not see it?

How can Clooney not see that we are being divided and conquered by progressive thuggery that constantly forces us to take a side, instead of finding, and fighting for, the common ground?  Where is the commitment to the American culture as we know it?  As it was intended?  Where is the love for greater unity for the greater good [here in America, not Africa] built upon the duties and privileges of individual liberty over all?

Here's a great quote -- plucked from my one of my favorite virtual happy places, The Patriot Post (www.patriotpost.us/subscribe/):

"The goal of the 'liberals' -- as it emerges from the record of the past decades -- was to smuggle this country into welfare statism by means of single, concrete, specific measures, enlarging the power of the government a step at a time, never permitting these steps to be summed up into principles, never permitting their direction to be identified or the basic issue to be named. Thus, statism was to come, not by vote or by violence, but by slow rot -- by a long process of evasion and epistemological corruption, leading to a fait accompli." --author and philosopher Ayn Rand (1905-1982)

We are experiencing this "slow rot" phase; only now that we have a real, and radical, Alinsky follower and community organizer, in the Oval Office, it's no longer disguised.  Indeed. 

Meet 'hope and change and transparency' -- feel the 'climate change in D.C.' -- see the results of the 2008 election through the prism of Truth and Consequences, and shudder.

No longer is the Left trying to hide their indifference to American culture covertly under the cover of darkness -- remaking everything via fundamental transformation; this presidency gives rise and full authority to actually ridicule any opposition, any push-back, anything and everything that interferes with it's objectives, a social justice agenda that destroys America -- economically, culturally, spiritually, collectively -- at her core in the light of day.

He seems quite proud of all of it -- or he wouldn't keep doing it.

He seems quite pleased, actually; getting more smug by the minute; casting his line, by line, on making more division than we thought humanly possible for one man; parting seas not to save the people, but to walk us right into a death trap; moving mountains smack dab on top of our cultural artifacts -- our rich history, timeless traditions, and proven principles and values common to the common man. [which begs the question, just who is the 'common man' now?  and when I say 'common man,' I mean, huMANity in America-- which includes, but is not limited to, women in general, gays in particular, and anyone else too]

but oh, Clooney is quite pleased with him...still.

Leaving only the moonstruck and googly-eyed, lazy and ignorant, socialists, progressives and commies, left to follow.

Make it a Good Day, G

Dear America,

sure.
500 BILLION dollars gets taken out of MEDICARE over ten years, and at the same time, "double-counted" to help pay for OBAMACARE  -- admittedly, by our very own HHS gal herself, Kathleen Sebelius -- and nobody thinks twice about it.  Yes, it is old news, but read it anyway:  "Both."  She said.

Where were all the liberal talking heads when this was happening behind closed doors, in the season of "we have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it," spoken like a real winner, Nancy Pelosi?

And it is the republicans reduced to partisan demagoguery?  

Medicare becomes the splintering issue that impairs the republican from New York? Medicare?

Is that how we are going to spin that?

Never mind that Corwin was attempting to take back the House seat recently made available when another republican thought he was 'all that' and flaunted it across the pick up places along the web (thank you to the idiot in the back - aka Chris Lee, or GetsomeGOPLeeforfree/my space/facebook/craigslist).

Never mind that the Democrat only got 47% of the vote, the Republican 43% and the stupid democrat, the one who repackaged himself into a phony Tea Party candidate, got away with 9% of the vote...details.

Never mind that Corwin didn't sell herself as clearly as her opponent did...or was it maybe her own flip-flop tendencies that stood in her way...hmmmmm...the world may never know.

So - the Left - believes that the election was a referendum on Medicare...

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, from Florida, put it like this:

"[Jane Corwin] found out the hard way that their extreme plans to abolish Medicare and slash Medicaid and investments in health care, education, innovation and job creation are wrongheaded and unpopular, even in a district that should have been a cakewalk for the Republican candidate."

G note: It is the Ryan Plan that attempts to save Medicare from it's fate -- which is a sure death --  just in case anyone is wondering.

Just who is in charge here?
Where is our spin machine headquarters figuring out the pesky details of how to play out governing and legislating and propaganda to our advantage?   I don't understand how the left can BREAK Medicare in two, with one swing, and get away with it (...oh yeah, along with permanently injuring Healthcare in general, and harnessing the final blow that kills, under Obamacare, if talking specifics)

Where were all you lefty's screaming about that?  Hey, leave my medicare alone...hey, hands off my medicare...hey, mom, he's touching me...stop touching me and my medicare. waaaah

With all due respect to the honorable lady from Flo, I say, the election was nothing more than a set up.

And heads up, people, this is just the beginning.

The left is masterminding a cruel twist of fate for all republicans, taking the lead right out of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.  Do whatever you must do -- as the end justifies the means -- use ridicule, lie, cheat, even make up tea party candidates to throw into the ring just to act as the third wheel -- capitalizing on skills learned, following years of indoctrination in our schools, under curriculum widely recognized as simply The New Math.  Dividing the Republican vote. Brilliant.

And then we have Wasserman-Schultz jumping in and making one more lasting impression:

"It demonstrates that Republicans 

and independent voters, 

along with Democrats, 

will reject extreme policies 

like ending Medicare 

that even Newt Gingrich called radical..."

Doink, der it is.  We will be hearing Newt's name, recently made synonymous with Radicalized Medicare and the brute severity of the republican agenda, from now and until 2012. joy joy  I think I gotta throw up.

Clearly, the right wing is in dire need of a new PR Adviser -- scratch that, make that an army of one.

For this is what we are up against:  the Obama administration is using OUR MONEY to develop just that --  creating an entire team simply to manufacture clever, timely, comebacks for every left wing issue that comes flying their way; the departments sole purpose is expressly defined to include, but is not limited to:  to deflect, diffuse, deflate the negative -- to dissect and separate so-called truths from the so-called untruths --  to fully demonize, if not criminalize, the opposition -- and ultimately deflate, or eliminate, any right wing power whatsoever.

And, if it all goes right, stifling every last shred of independent thought in the process.

America meets red army meets organization meets division meets social justice meets unlimited government meets limited freedoms meets chaos meets destruction meets the end of America as we know it.  It is universal, you know.  

What really got me going today was not even the New York election or Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, or Medicare, the swat at a Newt, or even the introduction of a brand new Czar in charge of PR...what I really set out to highlight was a little something our president said, in the company of an audience in Great Britain.

"The path has never been perfect,"

he said. 

"But through the struggles of slaves and immigrants; 

women and ethnic minorities; 

former colonies and persecuted religions, 

we have learned better than most 

that the longing for freedom and human dignity 

is not English 

or American 

or Western — 

it is universal."

huh?
Sure the longing part of it, may be Universal; but the creation of It in the first place, came right out of the birth of the New World, the Western World, and marked by absolute and distinct characteristics, held to such high standards, that the rest of the world wanted to follow.  And as a matter of fact, would do almost anything for it --  even in the midst of terror, tyranny, and theocracy raging wild (like in the Middle East).

It was America who made it.  Created it.  Defined it, in no uncertain terms.  AND ELEVATED it to it's highest honor. Say what you will about it, but IT is ALL American ideals, American liberties, American Principles;  these are the things OUR FOUNDERS manufactured following years of oppression, masterminding with one another upon the philosophies of the aged, grown from the seeds of the enlightened minds who came before us, anchored by a belief in something Greater than ourselves -- endowed by our Creator -- with certain unalienable rights and duties and freedoms.

Everything that came before -- along with everything that came after -- became the work of Divine Providence.

America was the first republic to set a people truly free.

...any other place we happen to witness it, is directly related to the principles and values set in motion by the founders of  the United States of America, and nothing less.

The most striking reality we face today -- the one that nobody is willing to say out loud for fear of being persecuted in the press and deemed an outright right wing racist -- is that our president is breaking America in two.

He has returned us to an era of divide and conquer, in order to legislate and mandate and regulate a brand new world; his call for fundamental transformation back in 2008 was not just rhetoric to get elected, it spelled out his entire agenda.  He INTENDS to reverse every independent, self-reliant, libertarian, republic-an, free market, limited government -- in principle and in practice -- commitment we've ever made.

Just look at the things his hand has touched --

• Health care, medicare, medicaid (all adversely effected under Obamacare and cutting Insurance companies off at the knees), 
• Energy independence (drilling moratoriums, domestic drilling down 43% from Bush Admin),
• And along those lines, took the Radical, Extreme approach in responding to the BP Oil Spill,
• Enacting new Business regulations (hundreds of thousands) and crony capitalism (Chamber of Commerce vs. GE, GM),  
• Union favoritism (Richard Trumka/Andy Stern on speed dial), 
• Government control of private companies (Boeing), 
• Department of Justice suing our own CIA agents for following through with orders -- while also playing the race card on multiple cases, creating an entire department for the cause -- while also suing a state (AZ) for simply enforcing the law of the land -- while also defending the Affordable Health Care Act which forces individual mandates -- while choosing not to defend DOMA simply because the president said so.
• Jeopardizing a long time "sacrosanct" accord with Israel and indirectly, making nice with Hamas, 
• Waging a third war in Libya without getting Congressional approval after sixty days, 
• Through his new energy policies alone -- doubling the price of gasoline over the course of  two years (and exponentially affecting the price of other commodities, and directly increasing the cost of basic needs, as well) 
• HE HAS MADE OUR DIFFERENCES the foothold for widening a divide -- creating mistrust where there was none, adding insult to injury where there was no cause -- as if FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORMING the melting pot into one hot mess simply by asking a question:  'got a light?'

Either way you look at it, America is on fire and by the looks of things, we have no where to turn.

Either way, by your way or mine, we are cut in two.

It is 500 billion of one, a half a trillion of another --- and sometimes, it's both.

We are clamoring for the floor.
We are screaming so loudly over one another,  nobody really hears a thing.
We can't even see the door.
It is dark.  Everybody is either yelling or crying or laughing into hysterics.
There is no way we will all get out alive, if we continue to think we can just climb over one another to save ourselves.

the thing is,
I think if we just calmly took each other by the hand and talked about it-- keeping on topic, and clinging to the merits and principles of all that is right and good and according to our roots -- we might have half a chance to make it out alive AND well.

"Our idealism is rooted

in the realities of history 

- that repression offers only

the false promise of stability; 

that societies are more successful 

when their citizens are free; 

and that democracies 

are the closest allies we have." 

Obama, 

experiencing a momentary re-awakening

to the realities and benefits of a free market

while enduring his visit in England.

It isn't just talk, Mr. President; and it certainly isn't propaganda to shape-shift according to audience; it is what we do.  Now, take my hand, and I will be happy to show you the way (Debbie, you're welcome to come along, too, along with all of your Lefty friends).


Make it a Good Day, G

Dear America,

we thought he would be different.

we thought if anyone could do it, he can.

we thought wow, now there is change we can believe in.

Of course, I didn't; but enough of you did. Hence, the scratching of the heads all over America as we watch this administration tear apart that which used to be our strong suit -- our diversity, the riches of attracting the hearts and minds of immigrants from around the globe in search of a new life from our very conception.

America called out to people everywhere, come, bring your tired and your poor and come to America to build a new life.

America, as the shining light on the hill, beckoned each and every one of us to come -- all that was ever asked of us was to come with an open heart and a willingness to work and create something good and to be kind and tolerant and follow the golden rule.

Yet somewhere along the line, the melting pot philosophy from which we were made is now somehow unrecognizable; we are no longer simmering slowly, allowing the piquant and the savory, the sweet and the salty, meld into a delectable delight fit for kings but made for the common man -- oh no, but don't look now, for we have elevated the simple stir into a raucous boiling point -- bubbling over, toil and trouble.


This is our President speaking to his people, listen closely.

Now, I say his people, for that is the context he was speaking; he wasn't talking to me -- even though, last I checked I was still considered to be an American citizen, and he, being the American President, you would think that would include me. not.

"...It will be up to each of you to make sure that the young people, African Americans, Latinos, and women, who powered our victory in 2008 stand together once again.


It will be up to each of you to keep our nation moving forward; to keep working to fix Washington; to keep growing our economy – and to keep building a fairer, stronger, and more just America.

If you help us do that – if you help us make sure that first-time voters in 2008 make their voices heard again in November – then together we will deliver on the promise of change, and hope, and prosperity for generations to come. Thanks."

Break it down, now; and don't leave anybody out that you care about, Mr. President.

But G I hear you say, he included women.

(Right, like he was referring to this kind of woman)

Make no mistake, he was talking to his people -- he's taking ownership of the minority voters block, playing the race card, seeking to divide and conquer in typical liberal fashion, in order to maintain majority in Washington come November.

Never mind that he promised (to all the rest of us who voted for him, not me, but maybe some of you) that he would be different.

Never mind that what most Americans saw in him was pure hope -- including the majority of whites (otherwise none of this would be happening right now)  -- and most certainly not just his people.  What we saw in him was the ultimate opportunity to once and for all, to live that peace, bringing a sense of calm to a diverse and growing politically partisan nation through the closing of a chapter, by way of ringing in a new era and fundamentally transforming Washington (not America), and proudly electing our first African-American president.  The time was ripe and the willingness made easy, for in him we saw a future that all of us could in one way or another welcome in without regret.

He won us over and got the vote and a new age was dawned.

Never mind that what he said in the video goes against everything we thought he was; somehow, some way, it isn't about uniting Americans at all, while rather perversly he has had the opposite affect in race relations altogether.  And apparently, he is just the kind of president who believes he can pull that kind of stunt off, too...I'm having flashbacks to yesterday's blog, kinda creepy when I realize the simple fact that the W would never be allowed to reach out to just simple minded white folk, blatantly calling them out as his followers, as ignorance is bliss, and marking his territory like a hound dog brazen enough to get off the porch.

Are "young people, African-Americans, latinos and women" really that blinded by his aura, that they can't see when they are being used and spit back out when he is done? When has the left ever really worked out for you? But let's venture down that road another day...

Everything happens for a reason.

It is no accident Obama is in office right now, and no accident he finds it so comfortable to stir the pot with race relations -- for being half white and half black and never forgiving his mother for it, he has issues (his view, not mine, read his own words). 

You would think with his age and abilities he would have figured out how to live in the reality of his duality, and become a poster child to mixed race people everywhere, and finally live in peace -- a peace that all people would witness and grow to respect.  If anyone had this potential to teach the finer principles and values embracing racial atonement and the virtues of living side by side with one another in this peace, you would think it would be him.

But hey, we weren't the only ones duped, how about that Nobel Peace Prize selection?  Two weeks into office, having only signed the closing of Gitmo and perhaps shared a beer or two with the Black Congressional caucus, he gets this award out of the blue -- having masterfully portrayed himself as the peacemaker before he's managed to do a thing.  Well I'll be amazing grace, wonders never cease. 

ahh be still my pretties, trust in the peace that passes all understanding...already a mile down the road ahead of us...

If it weren't for this president continuing to be so bold and so divisive by nature, immune to the cries of the people (all of them), and emboldened by his own audacity time and time again, never would the people rise up out of their slow simmering life to protest vehemently and profoundly for restoration to the foundations from which this country was made.

and it's not like it was any one thing -- it was all of it, some even before he got here -- it was the whole kit and caboodle, the kitchen sink, it was throwing everything into the pot and spilling over: spending money we do not have, obligating our children to things we do not want, and making a mockery of the one thing we always thought we felt pretty good about, the beauty of what you see in the diversity of faces melting into ONE  America -- a place where most of us, except maybe this president, are proud to call home.

If it weren't for this president falling far short of the ideals of the trans-formative figure he led us to believe he was, never would we have moved a muscle.

If not for the acts of this president racially profiling just who he chooses to call his own as President (as current video shamelessly documents), being racially selective as to which situations he chooses to jump in with all conclusions made up already (...acted stupidly come to mind...let us not jump to conclusions (Ft. Hood)  but before I do, let me give a shout out to a fine native American sitting in the audience...giving Miranda rights to underwear bombers...giving the NY stage to terrorists...oh yes, the latest Arizona law -- day before it became law -- it is misguided and I will have my attorney general look into it...we can't call it what it is, radical Islam unite...my apologies to all the world on behalf of America...let me... bow ...down...now shall we move on.org)

...if not for the actions of this president and the weight of his words begging for us to fight back and get up out of our easy chairs and come into the kitchen, we would still be in front of our TV's allowing the world to happen to us.

And boy are we up.

You cooked up quite a storm now didn't ya...
Go sit down now, honey, the kids and I will clean up.

Make it a Good Day, G

"Nostalgia is a haunting call asking us to return to the past and not to get completely caught up in the lure of the future.  There is a spirit in us that wants to make progress and move quickly toward new worlds, but there is another part of the soul that offers a counter-force, an attachment to the past and a longing to return.  Our society is goaded by "futurists", who frequently charm us with images of a carefree time to come, but we also need the nostalgists to keep us mindful of the past -- not its problems, but its values and beauty."

go to http://www.thekitchencabinetpac.com/ little does our president know, conservative women are the majority -- he may never get our approval, but you would think he would like our attention from time to time.
