Cop Says, “This Ain’t (America) No More.”

Posted by admin on Aug-29-2009

Unbe-frickin-levable.

Now the local police can determine what is free speech based upon their own prejudices, apparently.  Officer Wesley Cheeks Jr, told a protester at a town hall held earlier this week by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va, that his poster was unacceptable because he had a picture on it unlike all of the other protestors.

Let’s see how long this video stays up on Youtube, and if this particular officer receives any kind of correction for his suppression of  this gentleman’s Constitutional Rights. For cops to begin to censor the particular messages of individuals, without any precedent in the law, is discrimination.

To top it off, Officer Weeks’ response to the protester’s complaint that “this used to be America,” was : “It ain’t no mo.” And he walked off. So, was this police officer allowing his personal politics to interfere with his duties? Does he actually believe that we  are no longer the United States of America? I would be VERY interested to know his political affiliation and whether or not he voted in the last election…..

God bless Amerika.

The Window Is Closing….

Posted by admin on Aug-28-2009
Why So Serious?

Why So Serious?

The window of hope for the survival of the Constitutional United States is shrinking rapidly. This window is about to be slammed shut BEFORE the next three 1/2 years of this presidential administration passes.

Our economy is under the thumb of the federal government in partnership with big business, and the steamroller of the Waxman-Markey cap & trade bill is just beginning to power up. The banking industry is completely run by the federal government, with the board of directors and ceos being intimidated and threatened by limited pay structures and outright hostile takeovers by a ‘pay czar’ and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner in conjunction with the Federal Reserve Bank.

The business-killing environmental bill will destroy what is left of the free-market economy not already destroyed by government takeover along with the recession and deficit spending. The FCC ‘Diversity Czar’ proposes a 100% TAX on the profit of privately-owned radio and television stations and no one in government has a problem with that?

Socialized medicine is being forced forward by clueless congressmen in obedience to the leader of the Democratic party, the exalted Barak Obama, and now REPUBLICAN Senators Grassley, Snowe, and Enzi are meeting behind closed doors the opposition to hammer out a compromise. Thanks, RINOS! This bill will open your TAX RETURN info to all branches of government having to do with benefits and healthcare, which is broadening every day.

Now there is a bill in the senate that will allow the immaculate Obama to seize control of ALL INTERNET COMMUNICATION! If you think that this president and this progressive juggernaut is done, slap yourself for being stupid, wake up and admit it is ONLY THE BEGINNING! Never in our history as a nation have we been pushed so far from our Constitutional liberties and protections. And it has only sped up frighteningly in the last 8 months.

This has been planned for for the last century or more. In the last few decades, the planning and co-opting of governmental and educational institutions has grown exponentially. What we see happening today is the fruit of the progressive movements efforts over the last century.  That’s why this Joker-poster speaks so deeply to me.

The mask Obama wears is one of socialism, he admits it freely. He operates in it, by taking over banks and car companies, pushing for the public option in healthcare, AND he spoke plainly to Joe the Plumber about the redistribution of wealth handled by the federal government.

But, BEHIND the mask, is a radical statist. His grab for power is unparalleled in our history. I don’t think even FDR had the ambition of this president and his supporters. I also think that even he isn’t completely in touch with where this will all take us as a nation. I think he blindly trusts the revolutionaries, progressives, and marxists that he has grown up around and worked with his entire life. When the Joker makeup comes off, what’s behind it is even more frightening.

His instinctive distrust of state’s rights, individual liberties, individualists, conservatives, third-party activists, and people of faith is a telling commentary on his thought process. His racist response the the Professor Gates arrest showed what was in his heart. The liberal black RADICAL professor, who has said in the past that he likes to “get into” white people’s faces, could in NO WAY have been at fault, nooooooo….. it MUST have been the white cop! And, of course, we ALL know that people who believe in state’s rights are racist terrorists who want to re-establish slavery. That’s why he has us on the DHS domestic terrorist list and established the flag@whitehouse.gov email snitch site.

Uncle Sam Snitch

Add to that the comment he has made that the Constitution is a list of negative rights, that it is deficient in that it only enumerates what government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t list what the government is supposed to do FOR you. (He missed that part about providing for the common defense and establishing peace and the PURSUIT of happiness.) If he were the constitutional scholar that he pretends to be, he might understand the formation of our government and Constitution.

The Founding Fathers lived in a time when oppression and suffering came in the form of BAD government. World-wide, empires and monarchies used their citizens as property and denied the most basic rights whenever it suited them without the slightest regard for the individual. Freedom and Liberty were the ideals that they fought for, and they fought to wrest it FROM oppressive government.

The Constitution recognizes that government is the biggest evil when it comes to human suffering. The Constitution recognizes that individuals need to be protected from government, so the Founders greatly limited the powers of government and subjected it to continual reviews by the citizenry. Now, the government has been on a path for the last century to exalt itself above the people and above the Constitution.

Every time a 1000-page bill is forced through by emergency procedures, our window of hope closes more. Every time a new czar or ’special advisor’ is appointed by this White House the window of hope closes more. Every time the MSM covers for the lies and deceit of this administration and congress, the window closes more. The more FEDERAL TAX DOLLARS, numbering in the billions, is funneled to groups like Americorps, ACORN, the Tides Project, SEIU, and the like, the window closes even more.

I’m going to DC on 9/12. Go to www.912dc.org today and find out how to get there. Call, write, email, and VISIT your elected representatives before the window closes completely. Give to conservative causes and organizations like SarahPAC or the IAPN (if you’re in Nevada) But get involved and DO something.

When we gather in DC on September 12th, we will be providing a show of force that the world will not be able to ignore. Not a force of arms, but a force of our individual rights, protected by our Constitution. If we don’t make a stand THIS YEAR, and continue to stand through the election cycle of 2010, our country is lost to the very oppression the Founders tried to guard against.

Now is the time….. and this is our moment and place of decision.

The Government Can…..

Posted by admin on Aug-26-2009

UPDATE: YouTube pulled Sonja’s skewering of Obama and his friends, but you can still catch it on Pajamas TV. **

Look, we all have friends with whom we disagree politically and in areas of our faith. But when a majority of our friendships are with people of the same vein, it shows there is a commonality of belief somewhere in there. Add to that the racist conclusion jumped to by the President of the United States in Professor Gates-gate, and you can see his true beliefs are showing.

He lied all through the campaign about who he truly was and what he truly believed, but his policies and actions speak louder than any campaign speech. That is why (thankfully) the American public is beginning to wake up and his approval is dropping.

C’mon, 2010…………..

Does ANYONE Believe in the Constitution Anymore?

Posted by admin on Aug-22-2009

I saw this picture and it brought me up short.

Obama Swearing In

Obama Swearing In

It is one of those images that is worth 1000 words. I have always believed and voted Republican, yet I see the progression of government is steadily swallowing up individual freedoms. It doesn’t matter which party is in power, they all find a way to enrich themselves, screw the voters, have affairs, and run the nation as a whole into debt.

I have always projected my respect for Ronald Reagan onto the Republican party, but I find more and more that Republican leadership places themselves far and away above the simplicity that was Reagan’s policies and doctrines. There IS NO major American political party that is willing to stand up for and fight for the things I believe in most.

Faith, Family, the Constitution. All politicians and partisan hacks pay lip-service to what most Americans deem as important, and then once they have power, do what they can to keep it and get rich. We are where we are today as a result of Democrat AND Republican leadership. I don’t like where we are today, and I SURE as hell don’t like where we are going!

So, my family and I are seriously researching the Independent American Party here in Nevada. They seem to have focused more on legislative and legal issues recently rather than fielding candidates, but I like their support for the Constitution above party interests. I also think they have the coolest-looking mascot of any political party I’ve seen:

IAP Mascot

IAP Mascot

It doesn’t get any more American than the Buffalo. So, my inclination is one of distrust for both parties. It seems I am in good company. I know people say that the GOP is in a battle for its soul, it is in a moment of crisis, blah, blah, blah. Every 4 years they are in another defining moment, for God’s sake, when will they put a platform together, stick to it, repel attacks on it, and govern accordingly?

What about the plethora of czars that this administration has appointed with radical, extreme, and even COMMUNIST viewpoints? (yes, I’m looking at you, Van Jones) We have an advisor to the President of the United States who has admitted to coming out of prison as a Communist, and has never renounced his ideology. He DID say that he realized he had to ‘change tactics’ but never has he gone on the record repudiating Marxism. How is this OK in America?

Further, WHY won’t the White House respond when asked about the extreme views of these non-vetted, non-congressionally approved ‘advisors’? It is infuriating that a cadre of radicals have access to the seat and power of the government, and the President feels he doesn’t have to clarify for those of us who are concerned and asking questions?

Maybe it’s time to poke both parties with a sharp stick in the eye. Maybe that sharp stick will be one or more independent parties that they have to negotiate with to gain any political influence. I am sick of left and right wings, I am a conservative that wants to enjoy the freedom guaranteed by the Constitution and the principles of our Founding.

Let the poking begin….. let freedom ring!
