If Obama Had Told Us Before His Election

by Phyllis Schlafly October 16, 2009

If Barack Obama had campaigned on what he has actually done in his first 300 days in office, would he have been elected? That's the question so many are asking today.

If Obama had told us he would appoint 34 Czars, reporting only to himself and not vetted or confirmed in the constitutional way, building a powerful unitary executive branch of government, would he have been elected? What if he had told us that his Green Jobs Czar had been a Communist, that the Science Czar wrote in a college textbook that compulsory "green abortions" are an acceptable way to control population growth, and that the Diversity Czar has spoken publicly of getting white media executives to "step down" in favor of minorities?

If Obama had told us he would take over the automobile industry faster than any socialist dictator ever nationalized an industry, fire the CEO of General Motors and replace him with a Democratic Party campaign contributor, would Obama have been elected? If Obama had campaigned on closing down thousands of profitable car dealers, nearly all Republicans, would we have believed that this vindictive financial retaliation against those who didn't vote for Obama could happen in America?

If Hugo Chavez, the Communist who nationalized most of Venezuela's industries, had said before the election that "Comrade Obama" would nationalize the U.S. automobile industry and "end up to his right," would anybody have believed it? If talk shows had warned against such a socialist takeover, would the Obama-loving media have accused them of McCarthyism?

If Obama had told us he would spend $3 billion in a Cash for Clunkers program that would use taxpayers' funds to buy mostly foreign cars and grind up the used American cars traded in to make them unusable, would he have been elected?

If Obama had told us that his Stimulus package is a sham because it does not create private-sector jobs (as a tax cut would do), so that the unemployment rate has risen to nearly 10 percent, with 15 million Americans unemployed plus another 11 million underemployed, could he have been elected?

If Obama had told us his Supreme Court pick would be a woman who said repeatedly that a "Latina woman" would make better decisions than "a white male," that his pick for chief State Department lawyer would be a transnationalist who wants to integrate foreign law into law binding on U.S. citizens, and that his pick for Regulations Czar argues that animals are entitled to have lawyers to sue humans in court, would Obama have been elected?

If we had known that Obama would be totally incompetent as commander-in-chief of his chosen war in Afghanistan, and would not speak to the general in the field for 70 days, ignoring his dire report for six weeks, would Obama have been elected?

If Obama had told us he would have the government guarantee 90 percent of all U.S. mortgages, imposing $5 trillion in off-budget debt on U.S. taxpayers who had faithfully made their own mortgage payments, would he have been elected? And what if Obama had told us he would have the taxpayers take over 80 percent of all student loans at a cost of $1 trillion over the next decade?

If Obama had told us that he would make the U.S. government a major shareholder in Citigroup (one of the world's largest banks), would you have believed he could get away with this socialist takeover?

If Obama had admitted that his health care plan would include the same provisions for which he ran negative TV ads against Hillary Clinton (a federal mandate requiring every American to buy health insurance) and against John McCain (a tax on high-cost employer-based plans), would Obama have been elected?

And what if Obama had told us that his federal health plan would pay for all abortions without regard to the Hyde Amendment, and provide full health care (including private doctor visits) to immigrants without requiring proof of legal residence?

If Obama had campaigned on increasing federal spending and debt from a multi-billion-dollar level to multi-trillions, would he have been elected? And what if Obama had told us that his promise to "spread the wealth around" would balloon his first year's budget deficit to $1.6 trillion?

If Obama had told us that his promise to "spread the wealth around" meant wiping out the Republican welfare reform of 1996 and increasing annual welfare spending by 39 percent to almost $1 trillion a year by the end of his first term, would he have been elected?

If Obama had declared during his campaign that his first major speech abroad would be to the Muslim world, and that he would proclaim in Muslim Turkey that "one of the great strengths of the United States is . . . we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation," would he have been elected?

Climate Change?

You've heard about "Global Warming", now called "Climate Change" because those making the global warming claim realized that the temperature wasn't really increasing after all. Do you believe that "Climate Change" is going to be the death of the planet as proponents of that issue claim? If so, why? Do you really believe the planet, one that has existed for millions of years, could be destroyed by civilization in 100 years? Don't you think that belief is a bit arrogant? The days get lighter (or darker) earlier (or later) all the time, do we affect that? The tides come in and the tides go out, do we affect that? The circle of life continues, year after year, do we affect that? The tectonic plates continue to move under the earth's surface, do we affect that? Sea level's lower and rise over time, and have done so for millenniums; do we affect that? If you are a Believer, then you know the Earth was created by God, and as such cannot be destroyed by man. If you are a Non-Believer, where is the science that backs the Climate Change claim? There is none. Nothing definitive can be sited to prove that claim. In his fictitious book, State of Fear, Michael Crichton (author of Jurassic Park)tells the story of the scam that is "Climate Change". He provides footnotes from three years of research prior to writing the story that proves that "Global Warming" and "Climate Change" are just a hoax perpetrated by governments to further their cause(s). I submit to you that the real purpose of the "Climate Change" scam is to begin the funding of, and the transformation into, a one-world government. In December, Barack Obama will attend a conference in Copenhagen at which he will sign a "Climate Change" Treaty. That treaty will provide that governments from the west MUST pay restitution to third-world non-industrialized nations (redistribution of wealth on a grand scale). It calls for a one-world government entity to oversee the processes outlined in that treaty. If ratified by our Senate, it supersedes the authority of our Constitution! So before you jump on the "Climate Change" bandwagon because it's an issue that sounds good, do your research. Read State of Fear. Investigate the truth of the science. Stop being a lemming, and decide what you believe based upon personal knowledge, not something you've been force-fed by the government or the media. This is not the time for any of us to be sheep. It's time for us to be the shepherds.

Wake Up America

Resignation Letter

Resignation Letter

Dear President Obama, Members of Congress, and Fellow Citizens

Effective immediately I am resigning from my position as a citizen of the United States of America – a once great and proud society. I find that I can prosper better if I am not a citizen. I can take day work, get paid in cash, and pay no taxes. I will get free healthcare, and as a non-citizen with no reportable income, will pay no taxes for that privilege. I will receive housing and food grants, and again, as a non-citizen with no reportable income I will pay no taxes for that entitlement! I can fully imagine that from my new perspective as a non-citizen I will once again see America as a great country. I thank God I have finally seen the light! Why didn’t someone try to enlighten me before now? Oh, I see, you all wanted someone to be left in “old America” paying taxes to pay for all these freebies! Well, I’ve caught on. And don’t worry, shhh, I won’t say a word! I know the truth now. I know we still need some “unenlightened” people to pay taxes for this windfall! But have any of you discussed what happens when everyone finally finds out about this? Who will pay the taxes then? Who will support us then? Am I missing something? Oh, you say a new one-world government will be implemented? And working people from other countries will support our entitlements? Wow, these guys have it all figured out, don’t they? Ok, I’m all in!!

I just hope there’s life on other planets, because eventually we’re going to need their taxes too!

Wake Up America!

Dismantling America

 

Dismantling America
By Thomas Sowell
October 27, 2009

Just one year ago, would you have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed by the President, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?

Did you think that another "czar" would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers-- that is, to create a situation where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they publish?

Did you imagine that anyone would even be talking about having a panel of so-called "experts" deciding who could and could not get life-saving medical treatments?

Scary as that is from a medical standpoint, it is also chilling from the standpoint of freedom. If you have a mother who needs a heart operation or a child with some dire medical condition, how free would you feel to speak out against an administration that has the power to make life and death decisions about your loved ones?

Does any of this sound like America?

How about a federal agency giving school children material to enlist them on the side of the president? Merely being assigned to sing his praises in class is apparently not enough.

How much of America would be left if the federal government continued on this path? President Obama has already floated the idea of a national police force, something we have done without for more than two centuries.

We already have local police forces all across the country and military forces for national defense, as well as the FBI for federal crimes and the National Guard for local emergencies. What would be the role of a national police force created by Barack Obama, with all its leaders appointed by him? It would seem more like the brown shirts of dictators than like anything American.

How far the President will go depends of course on how much resistance he meets. But the direction in which he is trying to go tells us more than all his rhetoric or media spin.

Barack Obama has not only said that he is out to "change the United States of America," the people he has been associated with for years have expressed in words and deeds their hostility to the values, the principles and the people of this country.

Jeremiah Wright said it with words: "God damn America!" Bill Ayers said it with bombs that he planted. Community activist goons have said it with their contempt for the rights of other people.

Among the people appointed as czars by President Obama have been people who have praised enemy dictators like Mao, who have seen the public schools as places to promote sexual practices contrary to the values of most Americans, to a captive audience of children.

Those who say that the Obama administration should have investigated those people more thoroughly before appointing them are missing the point completely. Why should we assume that Barack Obama didn't know what such people were like, when he has been associating with precisely these kinds of people for decades before he reached the White House?

Nothing is more consistent with his lifelong patterns than putting such people in government-- people who reject American values, resent Americans in general and successful Americans in particular, as well as resenting America's influence in the world.

Any miscalculation on his part would be in not thinking that others would discover what these stealth appointees were like. Had it not been for the Fox News Channel, these stealth appointees might have remained unexposed for what they are. Fox News is now high on the administration's enemies list.

Nothing so epitomizes President Obama's own contempt for American values and traditions like trying to ram two bills through Congress in his first year-- each bill more than a thousand pages long-- too fast for either of them to be read, much less discussed. That he succeeded only the first time says that some people are starting to wake up. Whether enough people will wake up in time to keep America from being dismantled, piece by piece, is another question-- and the biggest question for this generation.

If this writer - who happens to be a black man from California, arguably the most liberal ethnicity in the most liberal state - can see the problems Obama has infected us with, then where the hell is everyone else??? To ALL of you who refuse to watch the news for 2-3 hours per day, who refuse to listen to talk radio whenever the opportunity arises, who do not search the issues extensively on the internet, and who can not refute the facts presented in those forums, I say to you: You are ALSO part of the problem. Your ignorance will be the demise of America. Sorry if that offends anyone, but it's true! On second thought, I don't think I really am sorry, so I retract that appology.

Wake Up America!!

News You Can Believe In, Coming Soon To Your TV

Wake Up America!!

Progressive Leaning Republican Senators

Here is the list of Republican Senators who are part of the progressive problem facing America. The worst offenders are at the top of the list. Do your research, but in my opinion they should ALL be voted out!

Susan Collins (ME)
Olympia Snowe (ME)
Kit Bond (MO)
Judd Gregg (NH)
George Voinovich (OH)
Bob Corker (TN)
Lamar Alexander (TN)
Richard Lugar (IN)
John Barrasso (WY)
Mike Enzi (WY)
John Kyl (AZ)
John McCain (AZ)
John Ensign (NV)
Kay Bailey Hutchinson (TX)
Lisa Murkowski (AK)
Tom Coburn (OK)
George LeMieux (FL)- He's only been in the Senate for about two months!!!

The following Republicans also have voted for progressive measures, but to a lesser degree. So if there are more conservative candidates running, consider voting for them, and voting these individuals into retirement!

Jeff Sessions (AL)
Mitch McConnell (KY)
Lindsay Graham (SC)
Robert Bennett UT)
Orin Hatch (UT)
Richard Shelby (AL)
Jim Risch (ID)
Mike Crapo (ID)
Thad Cochran (MS)
John Thune (SD)
Roger Wicker (MS)

Only these individuals have been true to the values and principles of conservative America! Hmmm, Georgia's on my mind...

Saxby Chmabliss (GA)
Johnny Isakson (GA)
Charles Grassley (IA)
Pat Roberts (KS)
Sam Brownback (KS)
Jim Bunning (KY)
Richard Burr (NC)
Mike Johanns (NE)
James Inhofe (OK)
John Cornyn (TX)

Wake Up America!

Don't Get Confused

There are a lot of political pundits on TV espousing the theory that the Republican Party is on the verge of a resurgence. Even Newt Gingrich, possibly the smartest pundit out there, is publicly stating this. But I contend that a Republican Party resurgence would be a by-product of a Conservative resurgence. For it is conservatives who have mobilized, and conservatives who will flock to the polls come 2010. It is Conservatives who will run against progressive ideologues in both major parties. So please, don't be confused once 2010 comes and goes, and 2012 looms on the horizon. Don't vote the Party. Forget the labels. Vote the most conservative candidate available in every race in your area. That is the only way to reverse this disastrous course we are on. God Bless America!

Wake Up America!

Chameleon-In-Chief

Have you spent any time really listening to what our esteemed (hm,hm, throat clearing) leader really says? It's hard to comprehend what he actually stands for because he contradicts himself all the time, and he's a master of semantics. He's for a single-payer system in one speech, he's never claimed to be for a single payer system in another speech. He's for free speech and a challenging exchange of ideas, but if you made the mess" shut up and get out of the way so he can mop it up. He's for a unified nation, but divisive in his comments - demonizing individuals and groups weekly, sometimes daily. His vision of "presidential" is lacking in substance, character, and depth. He is a shell, mostly making decisions by the seat of his pants. Oh no, that can't be right. He claims he's being very deliberate with his decisions! Yeah? Was a stimulus package that needed to be passed before anyone voting on it could read it being deliberate? Was pushing Cap & Trade through the House before anyone could read it being deliberate? Was trying to push Health Care Reform and a government option through Congress prior to the August recess, and before anyone could read it, being deliberate? Oh yeah, I guess once again I forgot this guy is all about semantics. And when he says he is acting deliberately he is doing just that. But he doesn't mean "with caution and great thought". He means "with intention". He means he is deliberately working to fundamentally change America forever.

Wake Up America!!

How Do You Hold A Country Together?

There was a time when America welcomed legal immigrants with open arms, but at the same time expected those individuals to assimilate themselves into the American culture. They were required to have a sponsor, and learn the language. Today it's much different.

To start, just press one to read the rest of this message in Spanish. Yep, that will motivate everyone to learn the language and help the newcomers to meld into our culture and society, won't it! That in itself is divisive and threatens the long-term prosperity of our nation. It fosters subtle racial tension, whether it means to or not. It does not promote a "united" nation. But much worse than that is the fact that we are vacillating between upholding the laws of our country vs. the laws of other cultures. The two can be mutually exclusive, so what do we do?

For instance, Sharia Law allows for fathers to behead their daughters and wives for specific "offenses" against the Muslim religion. So when that culturally accepted practice of the Muslim religion conflicts with our law of murder, given today's progressively ideological courts, who wins at trial? How is it resolved?

Wouldn't it be much cleaner and much more widely understood by everyone if America just maintained that if you come here, you must have a sponsor and you must assimilate yourself into our culture. There will be no more "diversity" acceptance; it just fragments the country and blurs the lines of law. You will be required to learn English - period. You will be required to learn our history. You will be required to accept our culture - after all, you're coming to our country, we're not going to yours.

The country is becoming more and more fragmented year by year! It's what our elected politicians want, because it keeps them in power - at least up to now. Something must be done to stop the erosion, and then reverse it!

Wake Up America!

More On The Right Wing Arm Of The Progressive Movement

To support my post "The Impersonators", below, today there is a report out of New York - I believe the 23rd District - regarding the congressional race going on there. It seems that the Republicans have two candidates running. One - Doug Hoffman - is a conservative who has been endorsed, and financially backed, by Sarah Palin and her PAC. The other - Dierdre Scozzafava - is LEFT of Obama on some issues. The GOP has endorsed Scozzafava! Yep, the GOP is definitely the right-wing arm of the progressive movement. Watch out America! Take notice of what the "Republican Party" really represents. It's certainly NOT conservatism!

Wake Up America!!!

This Is Patriotism! God Bless America! God Bless Our Troops!!!

WHEN THE MUSIC STOPPED

To understand this story, you need to know that, in military theaters, the National Anthem is played before every movie.

This was written by Chaplain Jim Higgins, who is stationed in Iraq:

I recently attended a showing of "Superman 3" here at LSA Anaconda (an American base camp north of Baghdad). We have a large auditorium we use for movies, as well as memorial services and other large gatherings. As is the custom back in the States, we stood and snapped to attention when the National Anthem began before the main feature. All was going as planned until about three-quarters of the way through The National Anthem the music stopped.

Now, what would happen if this occurred with 1,000 18-22 year-olds back in the States? I imagine there would be hoots, catcalls, laughter, a few rude comments; and everyone would sit down and call for a movie. Of course, that is, if they had stood for the National Anthem in the first place.

Here, the 1,000 Soldiers continued to stand at attention, eyes fixed forward. The music started again. The Soldiers continued to quietly stand at attention. And again, at the same point, the music stopped. What would you expect to happen? Even here I would imagine laughter, as everyone finally sat down and expected the movie to start.

But here, you could have heard a pin drop. Every Soldier continued to stand at attention. Suddenly there was a lone voice, then a dozen, and quickly the room was filled with the voices of a thousand soldiers, finishing where the recording left off:

"And the rockets red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that Star Spangled Banner yet wave,
o'er the land of the free,
and the home of the brave."

It was the most inspiring moment I have had here in Iraq . I wanted you to know what kind of Soldiers are serving you here. Remember them as they fight for you!

Wake Up America!

The Impersonators

This post is specifically intended for all of you who are holding steadfastly and resolutely to the ideal that the Republican Party is still the party for Conservatives. It Is Not! And while the Democratic Party has clearly defined it's niche on the far left of the political spectrum, that can not be said for the Republican Party. So I submit to you that the subtle ideology of those imposters masquerading as Republicans, in Washington specifically, but in lessor elected positions (like Governor) as well, portends that they are really just the right-wing arm of the progressive movement.

It is obvious to me that the Republican Party has been infiltrated by the progressive movement. And as soon as conservatives clinging to the label of "Republican" wake up to that fact, the better chance we have to create a conservative party that will represent our views, our principles, and our values. And the sooner we can begin the task of dismantling the socialist mechanism parasitically feasting on this country and surrounding & debilitating the systems, principles and values that made this country great.

So as we near the investigation stage of the 2010 elections, remember that the majority of Congressmen from both parties hold the same ideology - progressivism. They may differ slightly in degree, but, generally speaking, they are all progressive none-the-less. So what this administration starts, future administrations - led by either party - will continue. The two-party system is now just one entity - progressive government. We can only change it by forcing the Republicans to back conservative candidates (that's NOT going to happen), or we create a new party - a Conservative Party. What do you say America?

Wake Up!!!

The Problem As I See It

Democrats and Republicans vs. Conservatives

The Democratic Party, encompassing every leftist radical, revolutionary wacko, liberal, socialist and communist, is as big as it's going to get for a while - they are just too far left and have known that for a long time. They continuously claim that the Republican Party is not inclusive enough. But, to ensure strengthening the pursuit of their agenda the progressives infiltrated the Republican Party, placing the less radical of their group in that body. Those individuals, McCain, Snowe, the Bushes and others also actively espouse that the Republican Party has to be more inclusive. That's why for the past several elections there hasn't been great choice between the final candidates. Let's face it, McCain or Obama? Gore or Bush? Bush 1 or Clinton? McCain and Joe Lieberman buddy, buddy. McCain calling Obama a "good man" during the campaign. Come on folks, that writing has been on the wall for a while. The last true conservative who ran for President was Ronald Reagan. And how did the country respond? They overwhelmingly voted him into office for two terms!! So is Conservatism dead like the radical democrat progressives and the less radical progressive Republicans will have us believe? I think - NOT. So why do they keep telling us that? To keep us down, that's why. But it's time for us all to stand up, take off our sweats and get in the game!

As I see it, the problem we have is still significant because if we can't get conservatives to run for office the ideological choices of the candidates available for us to vote on are progressive or radically progressive. And in both cases, the country continues to meander down the path to socialism. Don't let the party labels mislead you. There are just too many progressives populating both parties, for either of them to do us much good. And while there are still some good men and women in Congress, sadly there are just not enough. Don't be blinded come next November and vote the party - do your homework and vote the Conservative!

But where are the conservatives? Where are the people knowledgeable enough to begin a new party - the Conservative Party? Will new blood step up and take the mantle and the challenge of fighting for the country as she was created? I sure hope so. We have one such person here in Florida who is running for the Senate - Marco Rubio. If you're from Florida, get behind this guy!!

It's Time To Wake Up America!

Commander-In-Thief At It Again

What would the country look like if we were allowed to elect people not associated with the label Democrat or Republican? What if we just had to vote for Mr. Jones or Mr. Smith - no party affiliations? What do you think the outcome would be? Would more liberlas than conservatives be elected, or would it be the other way around? Here's an articlae that leads me to believe that the Democrats have thought that through, and that they need and use the Democratic label to lead people, specifically blacks by the nose to vote for them. Please read on...

Justice Dept: Blacks MUST Have Democrat Label to Know How to Vote
Posted By Bobby Eberle On October 20, 2009 at 9:02 am in The Loft

There have been some crazy actions to come from Obama and his advisors regarding race. Remember when, not knowing ANY of the facts regarding an incident between a white police officer and a black professor, Obama said on national television that the officer acted "stupidly?" Or how about Obama's 20-year affiliation with a pastor who blasts America and advocates racial division?

Well, now I think I've seen it all. Obama's Justice Department has ruled against the actions of the town of Kinston, North Carolina. What did this town do that was so terrible? The residents voted overwhelmingly to eliminate partisan elections for mayor and city council members. The Justice Department stepped in and said, "Whoa! Wait just a second!" According to the Justice Department, blacks in Kinston must have the Democrat Party in order to elect their "candidate of choice." How insulting! Basically, what Obama's team is saying is that blacks will only vote for Democrats, and without the party label, blacks can't figure out for themselves which candidate will get their vote. This is not only a slap in the face of the voters, but it continues Obama's efforts to divide people along racial lines rather than bring them together.

The Washington Times has an excellent accounting of what is happening in this small North Carolina city. Following a city vote to do away with partisan elections for city offices, the Justice Department blocked the action:

The Justice Department's ruling, which affects races for City Council and mayor, went so far as to say partisan elections are needed so that black voters can elect their "candidates of choice" - identified by the department as those who are Democrats and almost exclusively black. The department ruled that white voters in Kinston will vote for blacks only if they are Democrats and that therefore the city cannot get rid of party affiliations for local elections because that would violate black voters' right to elect the candidates they want.

Candidate of choice? Basically they are saying that blacks will ONLY vote for Democrats, and if there is no party label, they won't know what to do. Obama's team also continues to take steps backward in race relations. Saying that whites will only vote for a black if there is a party label attached smacks of blatant bigotry. Furthermore, to say that blacks can't figure out who their "candidate of choice" is without a party label, Justice Department officials are making a huge assumption about the intelligence of black voters.

First of all, if a person is running for office, and that person is the "candidate of choice" for a voter or group of voters, it doesn't matter if that candidate has a party label attached or not. Shouldn't the electoral process by a process where voters actually pay attention to issues, do a little research, and then make an informed decision? What the Obama folks are saying is, "Forget all that! We just want them to vote for the Democrat."

Justice Department spokesman Alejandro Miyar denied that the decision was intended to help the Democratic Party. He said the ruling was based on "what the facts are in a particular jurisdiction" and how it affects blacks' ability to elect the candidates they favor. "The determination of who is a 'candidate of choice' for any group of voters in a given jurisdiction is based on an analysis of the electoral behavior of those voters within a particular jurisdiction," he said. Critics on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights are not so sure. "The Voting Rights Act is supposed to protect against situations when black voters are locked out because of racism," said Abigail Thernstrom, a Republican appointee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. "There is no entitlement to elect a candidate they prefer on the assumption that all black voters prefer Democratic candidates."

Keep in mind that according to the news story, this city votes Democrat overwhelmingly... both blacks and whites. Kinston "voted by a margin of nearly 2-to-1 to eliminate partisan elections in the city."

The news story gets ridiculous when one reads the quotes from Loretta King, "who at the time was the acting head of the Justice Department's civil rights division."

"Removing the partisan cue in municipal elections will, in all likelihood, eliminate the single factor that allows black candidates to be elected to office," she said.

Ms. King is the same official who put a stop to the New Black Panther Party case. In that case, the Justice Department filed a civil complaint in Philadelphia after two members of the black revolutionary group dressed in quasi-military garb stood outside a polling place on election last year and purportedly intimidated voters with racial insults, slurs and a nightstick.

Through King's efforts, the charges against all but one of the Black Panthers were dropped.

The Justice Department's actions are not only racial, but overtly political. As noted by Hans A. von Spakovsky at National Review Online:

The attorneys in the Voting Section also increasingly use the Voting Rights Act as primarily a political bludgeon to protect and enhance the electoral successes of the Democratic Party. Thus, in the Kinston objection letter, the Department stated that “it is the partisan makeup of the general electorate” that allows the winner of the Democratic primary to win in the general election. But of course, the VRA is supposed to protect voters, not majority parties. The fact that blacks are a controlling majority in the city is essentially deemed irrelevant.

This is yet another example of Obama's advisors showing that they are not ready for their duty to represent the entire country. They are partisans, and they are ideological radicals.

Wake Up America!

I Believe...

I believe in God. I believe in miracles, because I have witnessed them in my own life. I believe that good will always triumph over evil, but I also believe that there will be set backs. I believe that America was the greatest nation that ever existed. But I also believe that she is just a shell of what she was and what I hope she could be again, and that we are at the turning point in history that will define what America becomes. I believe we will know definitively what she becomes during the second half of this century - maybe sooner. I believe that power corrupts, and that is why I also believe that term limits are necessary if we are to have any chance to save the Republic as she was created. I believe in the innocence of a child and the confidence of an adolescent, but I also believe in the arrogance of grown men. And while I admire the former, I detest the latter. I believe that friends and family are important, and that while you may lose friends over your lifetime, family is always family. I believe that good men fight bad wars and that their honor and integrity define their actions and their fate. I believe that if left unchecked, Barack Obama will irreparably change this country for the worse. I believe he has already created the foundation to accomplish that result, but I also believe that it is not too late to alter the course he has set for America. I also believe that we have to act now, and act boldly to stop his agenda. I believe that the ideology of socialism and communism is evil, and that we are truly in a fight against that evil, despite people telling me that Obama "is a good man" or that "he hasn't done anything yet". I believe in the goodness inherent in most Americans, and that those same Americans can be counted upon to fight for America in the next several election cycles, and if called upon to defend and or protect her will physically fight for her as well. I believe that conservatism is alive and well, and that progressives have hijacked the Republican Party and, like wolves in sheep's clothing are leading Americans to slaughter, and that America has not fully woken to that truth yet. But I also believe that she will. I believe that the Republican party no longer represents any portion of conservative America because they can no longer be trusted, and that a new party - the Conservative Party - must be created. I believe conservatives must be more watchful if this new party is created so that progressives don't infiltrate it as well. I believe that if you are still reading this, you too believe there is something wrong in America and that we are in danger as a people and a nation.

What do you believe?

Wake Up America!
