America’s Socialist Congress Using Stalinist Tactics

America’s Socialist Congress Using Stalinist Tactics
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
*************************

America’s new Socialist Congress is flexing its Stalinist muscles and scooping up the leadership of a number of America’s business giants and forcing them to Washington to an inquisition, which is designed to do two things. One: To make an example of these chosen corporations -- and two: To put the fear of God -- well, allow me rephrase that – to put the fear of the new Soviet-style socialist government into all Americans. The message is: keep your mouth shut and do not question the Obama Regime’s socialist machinations or those of the socialist/democrat congress.

There is a funny; sort of bittersweet, story, which demonstrates what our new socialist Congress, and the Obama Regime, is doing in America today. It is said that once, in the old Soviet Socialist Russia, the Chairman was delivering a speech in Red Square. He was expounding upon the benefits of socialism and how all the soviet peoples were benefiting from it and how even more benefits were in the pipeline to make the lives better for the proletariat.

The Chairman was really getting “into” his speech and had become wound-up in his zeal and began ticking off the many things that the socialist system would provide for “the workers.” At one point the Chairmen said: “Every single soviet family will have a washing machine! If you don’t have a washing machine, let me know, and it will be taken care of!”

A hand shot up near the back of the crowd, The Chairman stopped his rant and pointing to the man with his hand up said: “Yes? What is your name?”

The man answered: “Ivan.”

The Chairman said: “Please continue, Ivan.”

Ivan said: “I have no washing machine.”

The Chairman blustering said: “Why, this is unforgivable.“ Turning to one of his aids he instructed him to take that man’s name so this situation could be rectified.

The next week there was another speech in Red Square and the Chairman was holding forth with the benefits of socialism to the soviet peoples when a hand, near the back of the crowd, shot up. The chairman stopped and pointed to the would be questioner and said, “Yes, what is your question?” Whereupon the man asked: ”Where is Ivan?”

Back in the 1960s it was said this story originated in the Soviet Union, itself. In any event, it is told to demonstrate just how easily such problems are handled when you have a strong central government such as that of the old Socialist Soviet Union, and the one just coming on-line in America today.

The hearings in Washington are being called an “Inquisition” and even a “Show Trial” much as those show trials once held in the “Soviet Union.” Some commentators have said these hearings are the first of the democrats’ “Death Panels.”

Whatever they are, in my opinion, they are right out of the old Socialist Soviet Union’s playbook and Joe Stalin would have been ever so proud!

None of this was unexpected… at least by those of us who have made even a cursory study of world history. I have said often in the past that we have seen this all before – and we have. Back in the 1950s the US Army trained me and my fellow US Army grunts to go to war against socialism and defeat it because it was, in those days, recognized for what it is, the “Killer of Nations.”

It was also understood that socialism was the precursor to full-fledged communism.

As I watched the Obama presidential campaign and it became ever clearer, as the days passed, that he was a full-fledged socialist and, quite likely, a Marxist, as well. We have known for some time that the Democratic Party, long ago, adopted the platform of the Socialist Party. The democrats then claimed it as their own platform. It was clear that if Obama was elected his “socialist assets” were already in place in the US Congress. America was poised for a complete socialist take-over of the entire US Government.

Well, you kow how it played out and the socialist take-over of the US government is now a fait accompli. If even a smidgen of doubt remains, all you have to do is observe the way Obama governs and the way the democrats in Congress govern… I mean with Executive Orders and Czars, plus threats, bribes, show-trials, inquisitions, and out and out thuggery. These are Stalinist Tactics, plain and simple, and they are very effective in bringing a frightened people to heel. It is also extremely effective in manipulating the masses of people, who are “wards of the government,” who depend upon the “government dole” for their continued existence. The New American Socialism as practiced by Obama and the socialist/democrats in the Congress can certainly count on their support no matter how Machiavellian -- no matter how Stalinist -- their behavior becomes.

As I continue to observe socialism at work in Washington, I have concluded the Mainstream Media in America is already government controlled. How else can one explain their total subjection to the New Socialism in Washington? They have completely tossed a side their primary duty, which is to act as a watchdog for the American people, keeping a close eye on the US government and reporting honestly, accurately, and fairly on what that government is doing. Now they print and broadcast “The Party Line” not unlike the press of the old Socialist Soviet Union.

The American people quickly caught on and turned to the “citizen journalists” who have taken to the World Wide Web to report the truth to their fellow citizens instantaneously no matter where in the world they happen to be. The citizen journalist must be brought to heel, because they present a definite threat to the Obama Regime and the New Socialist Government in America.

How long, I wonder, before the knocks on the door at 3 AM. How long before Obama’s secret agents begin to escort dissidents to Washington, to answer some questions about exactly what we meant when we published such words in our commentaries, which are splashed all across the World Wide Web.

The opening salvo has been fired. The show trials and the inquisitions have only just begun. Freedom and liberty cannot co-exist with socialism, Marxism, and communism. Being just a little bit socialist is much like being a little bit pregnant.

The Mid Term Elections in November will decide America’s fate. Either we toss out as many socialists as we possibly can, or we seal our fate as a socialist/communist nation. America cannot be a little bit socialist.

Conservatives and Progressives. Huge Difference!

Conservatives and Progressives. Huge Difference!
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

**********

The difference between conservatives and progressives, er liberals, er, socialists… (Whatever!)… is now more obvious than ever before -- especially now that Americans have seen the Progressives in action.

Are you as sick of the Democrats claiming the Republicans are looking out for their rich friends… at the cost of the poor folk in this country? Every time one turns around it is on the TV, in the Newspapers, and on the radio. Of course, the Democrat party controls the mainstream media outlets. (That’s why FOX News Channel is such a threat to them, and, why it is burning the ratings up. People have become sick and tired of hearing the old leftist spin on the news and are rushing to Fox News, in droves, to hear the “real” news and, as they say, get it “fair and balanced.”

Here’s the thing. It really is propaganda… plain and simple. It is political pabulum fed to the media, by the DNC, and the MSM laps it up and regurgitates it onto their respective networks or print media. They have been the willing accomplices of the Democrat Party since, well, since the beginning. Nothing has changed.

One of my own regional newspapers, owned by the New York Times, is no different. Readers get the same old rotgut, left wing, propaganda. However, they have been doing this so long they have begun to believe their own propaganda. They actually believe they are unbiased! Talk about denial! Just a brief scan of their editorial page and a fair-minded person will understand immediately their approach to reporting. It carries over onto the pages of the news. The sources are well known left leaning news associations.

So, with the Democrats controlling the Mainstream Media, why is there a hue and cry when a conservative voice pops up on TV, the radio, or the print media-- because, we conservatives are a very real threat to the left. Our ideas actually work. They are not difficult for folks to understand. We don’t have all the “nuance” intertwined in our remarks. We speak plainly and to the point. Oftimes, we are not politically correct, but then most folks aren’t.

Conservatives are a mixed lot, the same as Liberals/Progressives/Socialists. But for the most part, we are a people who base our political belief in the rock solid fundamentals that built this country. We believe the founders were honorable men. Flawed, but honorable. We believe they meant what they said when they wrote the constitution -- and they said what they meant. We see no reason to change it one-way or the other. Unlike Progressives, conservatives do not believe the Constitution is “a living document” subject to radical interpretation by whim. What you see is what you get.

Most conservatives are morally grounded in the scriptures and we believe that is the root of all things good. But, even more important than all these, we believe there are absolutes, moral and otherwise. There are boundaries. We, for the most part, do not believe in moral relativity. It is either right, or it is wrong.

You can see why we lock horns with the liberals/progressives/socialists, especially the new socialists that now form the bulk of what used to be the Democratic Party. Sadly, that is exactly what has happened to the old Democratic Party. It has become a socialist/secular/humanist (and, we suspect, a sprinkling of communists.) party. The truly sad thing is… they have yet to realize the American people will have none of it. They have isolated themselves from the electorate and they are now, seemingly, bent on self-destruction.

In by-gone days, the Democrat party was a party in which Zell Miller could feel at home. It was a political party the Southern folk could align with, especially since the Lincoln administration was a Republican administration. Things have changed. The pendulum has swung and now the Republican Party is the party the Democrat Party used to be. Thus, the switching of parties by Southerners and the reason the South now leans most favorably toward the Republican.

Presidential elections cannot be won without the South (i.e. the states of the old Confederacy). It will be a cold day, in warmer climes, when the South switches back to the Democrat Party.

Many conservatives don’t feel the Republican Party is conservative enough. They feel the Republican Party has forsaken its conservative agenda and it’s conservative members. I fall in that group. As a result the Tea Party Movement was born. The Tea Party Movement may yet become a full-grown third political party in America, a conservative political party. However, caution must be exercised that Tea Party candidates for office do not harm the campaigns of GOP candidates who have clear shots at removing an incumbent democrat, or a liberal, or RINO Republican from office.

Just some thoughts today on why politics are as they are in the USA. Subject to change, of course!

It’s Not Socialism. It’s Communism.

I was WRONG! Its not Socialism -- Its Communism!

*********************************

If you follow the scribbling of this scribe (J. D. Longstreet) then you know I IMMEDIATELY DUBBED ObamaCare AS SOCIALISM. Now comes a fellow commentator to set me straight. Alan Caruba identifies it correctly -- COMMUNISM.

Mr. Caruba has been scrutinizing the Obama Regime and the rogue Congress now in Washington and he identifies their machinations as that of a flat out communist government rather than a democratic government reflecting the will of the people as a representative republic should -- and -- as the US Constitution demands.

Mr. Caruba has spent many years of his life observing the efforts of the government of the US, both domestically and internationally, and he has concluded the current crop of politicians in Washington has strayed from their constitutionally mandated role. They are now dictating to the American people with no regard for the wants and needs of the Americans who once were their constituents but now are relegated to the role of serfs in the newly invented communist feudal system set up by the Obama Regime's system of all powerful Czars who rule this nation from the shadows.

The Communist influence on Obama in his past is just overwhelming. Apparently he learned lessons from his recorded association with known communists and communist sympathizers that he has put into practice in the past year, his FIRST year as the New American CZAR! With his coven of lesser Czars, Obama has managed to emasculate Congress and make them tools of his all- powerful Czarist regime. Congress is meaningless, now, and have no use -- save for serving "Czar Obama."

America is in deep, deep, trouble. She is "in harm's way" from enemies foreign and domestic both of which I swore, as a soldier in the United States Army, to defend her against. But in truth, I must tell you that, as of this writing, I fear the enemy within far more than I fear the enemy without. We have only to gaze upon the White House and the Capitol Building in Washington, DC to observe them disassemble this republic and remake it in the image of a communist hell-hole of a third world country.

Below is Mr Caruba's latest commentary on the Communist government now reigning in America. We STRONGLY recommend you read it and reflect upon it for it should shake you to your soul.

Thank you. Now read on.

It’s Not Socialism. It’s Communism.
By Alan Caruba

************************

If you felt a frisson of fear on news that the Senate had passed Obamacare the day before Christmas, then you now know what it was and is like to live in a dictatorship. The voice of the People was ignored in a demonstration of raw political power.

There was a time when Americans took Communism seriously. It challenged us in the form of the Soviet Union and we witnessed its takeover of China.

In Europe, uprisings against Soviet rule were crushed in East Germany in 1953, Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968, and Poland in the 1980s gave proof that only oppression can sustain this failed economic and political system. President Reagan gave voice to it when he called the Soviet Union an “evil empire.”

The McCarthy hearings in the 1950s proved a setback for efforts to learn how thoroughly infiltrated the U.S. government had become by Communists, not because Sen. Joseph McCarthy was wrong, but because he proved a poor spokesperson for the cause. He was easily criticized for his bombast, but the declassification of the Venona papers, secret communications between Soviet spymasters and their agents, revealed he may well have underestimated the threat.

Later, the Russian Federation declassified former Soviet spy agency records that further confirmed that many Americans, dedicated Communists, were working to undermine our government.

The price America paid in part for the Great Depression of the 1930s was the undermining of faith in the Capitalist system among many Americans.

Unions arose, not just in response to worker grievances, but also because their leaders were frequently sympathetic to Communism. The FDR and subsequent administrations introduced Social Security and Medicare, tapping into the fears of those who had experienced the Depression with programs that vastly expanded the federal government, characterizing them as the ultimate “safety net.” Then Congress plundered the trusts that were supposed to fund both programs. Both programs are insolvent.

A recent study by Paul Hollander, a professor emeritus of sociology at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and an associate at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University, was published by Cato Institute’s Center for Global Liberty & Prosperity. It is titled, “Reflections on Communism: Twenty Years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall.”

The celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall earlier this year was attended by many world leaders with the notable exception of President Barack Obama. For a man who has visited more foreign nations in his first year in office than any previous President, the decision to avoid this significant anniversary was taken as one more signal of his true political and economic agenda.

We know that he was greatly influenced by Marxists or people who viewed Communism sympathetically, not the least of which were his grandparents who introduced him to a mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party USA.

Obama wrote that he was drawn to Marxists among his teachers in college. He began his political career in the home of former Weatherman Bill Ayers. These days he is praised by Communists in Cuba and Venezuela. He sided with a Leftist former president of Honduras who tried to illegally alter its constitution. The Hondurans had the courage to cast him out.

The specter of Communist subversion of the U.S. Constitution is staring us in the eye with the so-called healthcare “reform” of Medicare; it includes all manner of provisions that are unconstitutional and would expand federal government control over one-sixth of the nation’s economy. The bribery and thuggish pressures and threats against Democrat Senators and Representatives to pass the bill reveal a political leadership more devoted to ideology than the will of the People.

Specifically, President Obama’s drive for a single payer system is the direct result of the influence of Dr. Quentin Young, a retired physician with a long history of commitment to Communism. In 1995, Dr. Quentin was among those who met in the Hyde Park home of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn to launch Obama’s political career.

As Prof. Hollander points out in his study, “Not only individual intellectuals but entire professional associations have expressed favorable attitudes toward communist systems” citing the Latin American Studies Association that has “repeatedly taken positions supportive of Castro’s Cuba and Sandinista Nicaragua.” In 1990, the Organization of American Historians defeated a motion that expressed regret that the organization “never protested the forced betrayal of the historian’s responsibility to truth imposed upon Soviet and East European historians by their political leaders.”

The recent United Nations’ Climate Change Conference refused to take notice of the revelations that the data on which the “global warming” theory is based was falsified by a handful of meteorologists and climatologists in an effort to impose a global governing system. The interim first Secretary General of the UN was Alger Hiss, an American and secret Soviet agent

It did not escape notice that Venezuela’s communist dictator, Hugo Chavez, received a rousing ovation when he spoke at the conference or that President Obama continues to repeat the lies surrounding the discredited “global warming” fraud.

Virtually the entire agenda of American environmental organizations has been focused on an attack on private property rights and denying Americans access to their vast reserves of energy in the form of coal, oil, and natural gas, thus undermining U.S. growth and prosperity.

Unlike Prof. Hollander who escaped Hungary following the crushing of the 1956 revolution by Soviet forces, “Western intellectuals who remain attracted to communist ideals never had the disillusioning experience of living in an actual communist or socialist society.”

Among them we must number much of the nation’s media that has been a party to political and environmental deceptions, and the Hollywood community that has produced many films to influence public opinion about the earlier efforts to address Communist activities and later Green issues with a very Red agenda.

The Medicare “reform” expands “socialism” in America, but it is an example of naked Communism at work. It is a bill put together behind closed doors and so extensive its control of the lives of Americans literally determines who lives and who dies. It will wreck the best healthcare system in the world albeit one that has its flaws.

It is authoritarianism at work, the kind we associate with regimes in Russia, China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and everywhere else Communism has been imposed on captive nations.

Healthcare “reform” is not about uninsured Americans. It is not “socialism.” It is Communism, effectively putting the entire nation’s healthcare system under state control. It must be defeated just as past generations of Americans knew the threat of Communism and devoted the nation’s treasure and even their lives to defeat it.

Obama’s “Gang of 39” has gone Too Far!

Obama Regime “Blackmails” Congress

A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
********************

Remember a few weeks ago, I wrote of Obama’s Chicago style politics? Well, then, you were not blind-sided by the EPA’s move to declare their regulation of so-called greenhouse gases.

When you peel away the BS spewed by the EPA you will clearly see the ploy being used by the Obama Regime to say to the Congress, either YOU pass the Cap and Trade bill, or MY EPA will pass regulations that will regulate practically every aspect of American life from the home, to factory, to the office, to the church, to the automobile, -- you name it -- and the Obama Regime will be riding herd over every living American exhaling CO-2 today!

I have to ask – do YOU STILL THINK YOU LIVE IN A REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC? Because -- if you do, you are living in a dream, a dream that is, as of this hour, turning into a nightmare!

We warned you the appointment of all those Obama “Czars” was simply another way to get around the Congress, the legal legislative branch of the former US government. That was before America went socialist (with the election of Comrade Obama) on the way to COMMUNISM.
Comrade Obama’s Czars have one reason to exist and that is to do the President’s bidding and to by-pass the Congress. The Congress doesn’t seem to know it yet but they are a weak, impotent, bunch of “useless idiots” Comrade Obama has used like cheap prostitutes to satisfy his immediate needs while his Czars, the “Gang of 39” settle in and prepare to rule America.

You see, dear reader, Obama no longer needs the Congress, they are superfluous, and, now with the use of the Comrades in the EPA, he has driven home that point to all but the most densely minded Congressperson and Senator in the Congress. After today’s Police State antics, by the EPA, the members of Congress ought to feel icky, dirty, and, yes, “used.” And it will get worse for them unless they toe the line. Comrade Obama will continue to drive home the difficult-to-accept fact that he has seized power in Washington, for himself and his communist cadre, much as Napoleon crowned himself emperor -- and Comrade Obama will make that fact abundantly clear, over the weeks and months ahead, as he by-passes Congress in favor of his Czars whose departments can formulate “regulations that have the force of law.”

Now, what I have just described to you is a dictator. A dictator is a ruler who dictates how a country is run. In this case, Comrade Obama is not only going to dictate how the country is run, he is going to dictate how your home and your family is run! He is going to dictate how your factory us run, how your business is run, how many miles a monh you can drive your vehicle, what kind of appliance you can have in your home, and it just goes on and on and on.
BIG BROTHER is loose in the land!

Take the blinders off America. We have a COMMUNIST in the White House and a cadre of COMMUNISTS in that damnable bunch of sycophantic, like-minded, “Progressive Czars,” otherwise know as Obama’s Gang. By the way, “PROGRESSIVE” was the word used by COMMUNISTS in 20th century America to self-describe themselves. They almost never, EVER, referred to themselves as “COMMUNISTS.” They referred to themselves as “Progressives.” I am of the opinion they have not changed – American “COMMUNISTS”, in Washington at least, still refer to themselves as “Progressives.” Remember that when you hear the crowd of so-called democrats in Washington refer to themselves as “Progressives” and remember -- that word is a code word for COMMUNIST. Step back, and, as we said, take off the blinders and look objectively at the Czars Comrade Obama has gathered around him and it is fairly easy to see they are his “Gang of 39.” Beginning on December 7th, 2009, that "Gang" became the government of the United States.

So what is it all about? It is about taking over the US government, crushing the “Representative Republic” that WAS America and turning America into a communist dictatorship with Comrade Obama and his Gang of 39 running EVERYTHING!

I heard a conservative commentator, on TV, the other night; declare that the American government is now a socialist government disguised as a GREEN GOVERNMENT. Ok, I can see that. Where did all those commies go when the Soviet Socialist Republic of Russia fell apart some 20 odd years ago? They simply moved into the Green Movement, the so-called environmental movement. Oh yes! They are green on the outside – but -- on the inside they are RED – as red as any “communist red” ever was! (Think Watermelon!)

I have concluded, it is far too late to try to save our government. It is gone. Its demise was extremely fast. We have no representative government left in America. We are now moving into that dreaded Police State we conservatives have warned about for years -- if Americans ever were weak enough (and dumb enough) to allow the so-called Progressives to gain control of the American government.

What you saw within the past 24 hours was the installation of the Communist Police State in America. What you saw when Comrade Obama’s EPA released and made public its decision to regulate greenhouse gases, including CO-2, was the opening shot fired across the bow of the Congress. It said, as plainly as is possible: “Congress, you are no longer needed! From now on we make the rules!”

They are correct. Congress IS irrelevant. Congress is not needed any longer, In fact, Congress ought to disband and go home and cower in their closets and basements until Comrade Obama’s own brand of the KGB kicks in their door, at three in the morning, and drags them away to a re-education center in the Mohave Desert somewhere.

In less than a year, Comrade Obama has very nearly destroyed this country. If Americans are to save enough of the US to rebuild after Comrade Obama has left the stage, we are going to have to go underground – and soon -- for we will be hunted down and neutralized. Call it paranoia if you like, but when everyone IS out to get you, then Paranoia is darn good thinking!

When a leader thinks he is strong enough to emasculate the Congress then he is surely demented enough to believe he can extinguish the flame of freedom and liberty now, admittedly, flickering in our doubtful and troubled hearts.

I have said before that I suspect the November 2008 election was likely the last free election America will have. It is not difficult to slam the only door Americans have to those now nearly impotent leaders we ELECTED to represent us.

Declaring a National Emergency due to a collapsing national economy and suspending elections, as well as the constitution, just isn’t that difficult, especially when you have your own socialist/communist government as Comrade Obama does, to back you up.

Alarmist? You bet I am alarmed! And you should be, as well!

Giving Thanks ... by J. D. Longstreet

Giving Thanks.
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
*****************************************
In the spirit of full disclosure allow me to set the record straight: I am part Native American -- as are so many, many, Americans. BOTH my grandmothers were, at the very least, half American Indian... either Eastern Cherokee or Catawba. I suspect Catawba. As a youngster it was not uncommon to have the chief of the local tribe visiting at my grandparent's home. The reservation was just a short distance from my childhood home. A 15 minute drive would put one on reservation soil.

The point is, I did not grow up in an atmosphere in which the American Indian was seen as having been robbed of his land or his country. They were our neighbors and many were our relatives, making them family.

Now that you know the above, you will understand why I do not buy into the bovine scatology the lefties have been selling our kids for the past, oh, nearly two generations.

Yes, the American Indian has been screwed by the US government. That cannot be denied. On the other hand, so have you and I! Promises were made and never kept. Treaties were made -- and broken -- seemingly before the ink was dry on the paper. So, yes, the American Indian got a raw deal from the US government.

Nothing much has changed. Today as the Democrats in Congress ram through a National Healthcare bill they are making copious promises that will never be kept -- and --what is worse, they KNOW they won't be kept because they have no intention of keeping them. It is an attempt to fool just enough people, just long enough, to get the bill passed through Congress and signed into law by the President. So, if you think you have been screwed by the US government please take a number and/or get in line.

Thanksgiving is a time for solemn reflection on the blessings we DID receive. Yes, Obama is probably the worst president in the history of the United States, but it could have been worse. Mrs. Clinton could have easily won and we'd have Bill back in the White House again along with all the embarrassment(s) that follows along after him. So, I will not thank God that Obama won, I will, however, thank God that Mrs. Clinton did not!

Even in the midst of the recession America has so much for which to be thankful. The President's Afghanistan policy, unfortunately, is NOT one of them. Obama is to announce his plans for our military in Afghanistan early next week. Already reports are (I believe some are "trial balloons.") slipping out that the President's Afghanistan plan is a "minefield" for the administration. (As if the Administration even knows what a "minefield" is!) Until you have had your nose 18 inches, or so, from a mine while you delicately dig it from the soil with your bayonet, while trying, unsuccessfully, to keep the trembling in your hands to a minimum, you really are not qualified to refer to a piece of presidential policy as a "minefield." Whatever the President decides, I expect it will lead to a lot of things in Afghanistan, but victory will not be among them. Face it, America. We have won our last war. However, I WILL thank God, this Thanksgiving, that our troops have not been over run, by Taliban forces, while the President dithers around trying to formulate an Afghanistan policy that will make him look good in the eyes of the world.

I will thank God that His people, in Israel, are still standing tall against those nations that would wipe them off the map. I will pray, as well, that the Israelis know that our President's policy toward Israel does not reflect the feelings of the American people toward our only true friend in the Middle East.

And, finally, I will give thanks that we STILL retain the freedom to assemble and petition the government for redress. And -- I will, most earnestly, pray that the American people find their spine and begin to speak out against the godless socialist/communist leanings of our current government and commit themselves to the effort to return this nation to the constitutional representative republic intended by the Founding Fathers.

And allow me to close with this: I don't CARE who attended the first Thanksgiving and I care even less about who brought what to that first Thanksgiving table. I am just happy that representatives of both the races represented in my DNA were seated there in peace.

Happy Thanksgiving!

New Zeal Blog Nails Obama Hawaii/Chicago Communist Nexus

A man I am proud to call my friend, Trevor Loudon of New Zeal Blog, has done incredible work ferreting out little-known facts about Obama and his myriad connections to the American Communist Party (CPUSA). I have quoted his work extensively in my Manufactured Crisis series.

In his latest post, "Obama File 78, Hard Evidence! Proof that Obama's Hawaii and Chicago Communist Networks Were Linked?" Trevor provides convincing evidence that Obama moved to Chicago specifically to take advantage of Frank Marshall Davis' communist connections in that city. Following is a concluding paragraph that summarizes the gist of the article:

Frank Marshall Davis works closely in communist causes with Vernon Jarrett [A prominent communist journalist] in Chicago. Davis moves to hawaii where he eventually meets and mentors a young Barack Obama. Then Obama moves to Chicago where his career is promoted by both Davis's old colleague Vernon Jarrett and the Communist Party. Vernon Jarrett's daughter-in-law [Valerie Jarrett] employs Barack Obama's fiance, befriends the family and becomes one of President Obama's most trusted advisors. The Communist Party throws its entire weight behind Obama's presidential campaign.

Are we expected to believe that this is all mere coincidence?

I urge you to read this post and as many of his others as you can. After reading these articles, no person with a functioning brain will be able to deny Obama's deep commitment to the communist cause.

Going Green Could Enslave Us ALL

What we don’t know about going Green could enslave us all!

But I’ll get to that in a couple of minutes. First let me give you my disclaimer. This article in no way negates the need for each of us to conserve resources and to do our part to enhance rather than harm the environment. I, for one, have allowed unruly nature to naturally sprawl around my home. Rather than scalp the forest around my house, I allow a nice natural place for all of nature’s critters to call home– including a variety of venomous snakes. Our natural plants and trees are drought resistant and don’t require watering. Our sidewalks were made by us from native stone from our very own land.

Like most conservatives, I have a strong respect for mother earth. On the other hand, I don’t have any respect for smarmy politicians or for hypocritical jet-setters who glom onto an issue because it’s trendy and personally enriching! Worse yet, are those political movements that hide their real agendas behind a noble cause and questionable science!

The Live Earth concerts are finally over (I did manage to tune in from time to time) and now I’m sending out an S.O.S!

Would someone point me to an analysis of the MEGA carbon footprint that this global event left???

In case you didn’t know, it’s very trendy to go Green. While watching Live Earth I did manage to learn quite a few tips on how to be Green.

I’ve learned that if I want to be green I need to stop flushing the toilet and find a bathing partner. I should also become a Vegan. I should use public transportation (which isn’t likely to exist when you live out in the wilderness) or ride a bike (which isn’t too easy on gravel roads). I suppose I should be driving an eco-friendly truck. Well, maybe I already am driving one and I didn’t even know it. As I said, everyone out to make a buck is glomming onto the Green eco-friendly trend. I just happened to visit Eco-Friendly Trucks and discovered that a half ton Chevy Silverado is also listed on their site. Oh well, just slap a Green sticker on anything and the mindless lefty minions will buy it!

So I’ve learned a lot. Most importantly, I learned that while everyone has a right to clean air and water, they also have a right to universal health care and the same standard of living!

I’ve also learned that Bamboo is the IN resource to replace furniture, flooring, fences, and our native grasses and trees, even bicycle rims, and cotton towels and sox. You probably figured that out if you watch the HG network.

Yes Bamboo is a grass and “Bamboo can store four times the carbon dioxide of a stand of trees of similar size and it releases 35 percent more oxygen” – unfortunately its now in short supply.

In the last few weeks I’ve been inundated by Green ads on TV for a variety of Bamboo products. Since the US doesn’t have a lot of Bamboo these days, it makes we wonder just what the Green trade agenda is. See, I don’t trust the Greens and I’ll tell you why.

For the frightening history of the Green Movement and a list of its Socialist/Marxist/Communist affiliations read The Green Menace. Here’s a short excerpt:

Back in the dark Cold War days of 1984 a seed was brought to American soil. Fallen from the vine of the Green Party in Germany, planted in the dark socialist earth of the American Left, and watered with rampant anti-Americanism, the Green Committees of Correspondence took root in 1990 and adopted their first national Platform. By 1996 the Green Party was formed and the twelve years of growth had created a succulent fruit for the far-left movement: the watermelon. Green on the outside and red on the inside, the watermelon became the perfect metaphor for the Green Party with its deeply Marxist philosophy hidden underneath a thin environmentalist façade. If only the Greens had a sense of humor they might actually adopt the melon as their official symbol. . .

The British Old Socialists Unity Blog has a good account of the crisis in the lefty California Green party and its kinship to the Democrats (all Green is left even when they won’t admit it).

NewsBusters has a story about noted celebs cozying up to Global Green USA, a group founded by the former Russian General Secretary, and noted Communist, Mikhail Gorbachev.

So going Green is going to cost us all in many ways! As a matter of fact, going Green is probably the last step on that slippery downward slope into total madness. See Acquired Green Delusional Syndrome

And to prove my point read how the Mad UK Greens think Windows Vista is eco-unfriendly at EnvironmentalLeader

The UK’s Green Party claims Microsoft’s latest operating system, Vista, could lead to a mass upgrade of PCs that will result in old machines being dumped in landfill sites, Silicon reports.

Enough!!
