“The Speech” from 1964 is worth re-watching occasionally. The Gipper’s 100th Birthday is as good an occasion as any:

Happy Birthday, Ronnie. You were the best. ◄Dave►

Imagine an America where this young black man’s perspective were the norm, rather than the exception. Perhaps then, everyone would understand that our differences are not about race; but about culture. Education is the cure for the victimhood mentality that traps so many in our ghettos. That is probably the real reason the Progressives resist all attempts to reform ghetto schools. If ghetto dwellers were ever allowed to learn to think for themselves, it would soon manifest MLK’s dream of a colorblind society, and the Democrat Party would never win another election. ◄Dave►

I have often claimed that if it wasn’t for the drug issue, I could make a small (l) libertarian out of most so-called conservatives in five minutes of conversation. My closing argument in such attempts is to ask, “Would you be willing to give up your desire to empower government to regulate the private non-violent moral behavior of others, if they would agree to keep their nose out of your business and allow you to live your life as you wish to live it, without interference from an intrusive government. Only the hard core religious fundamentalists fail to accept the wisdom of such logic.

Somewhere hereabouts recently I commented that the Tea Party movement was creating new libertarians. My evidence was anecdotal at the time; but I just stumbled across an interesting report by the Cato Institute entitled, The Tea Party’s Other Half, which confirms my suspicion. There are many interesting links therein, including some revealing graphs; but the encouraging part for me was:

One finding surprised me. While we know the word “libertarian” remains unfamiliar to many who hold libertarian beliefs, the word may be gaining traction. On surveys, most libertarians identify themselves as independent, moderate or, reluctantly, conservative. However, in our survey we included an option for respondents to self-identify as “libertarian.”

Surprisingly, 35 percent of respondents who hold libertarian views self-identified as such. In previous surveys, we’ve found only 2 to 3 percent self-identify as “libertarian” nationally. To the extent that Tea Partiers talk to their neighbors and friends, perhaps we will begin to see the word “libertarian” catch on. This would certainly be good news for the “libertarian brand,” and a possible trend worth exploring in future research.

Indeed! A sudden tenfold increase in nonpartisans self-identifying as libertarians is remarkable. Imagine what would happen if the news media stopped deliberately marginalizing or just ignoring libertarian thought and candidates. If the Libertarian Party could somehow be convinced to downplay the recreational drugs issue, it might attract enough non-Marxists from the Democrats and enough non-Fundamentalists from the Republicans to make themselves a serious player in the effort to return to Constitutional government. ◄Dave►

Pour yourself a cup of coffee and invest 40 minutes in this video. You won’t be disappointed:

This is one of the most cogent descriptions of what ails our country that I have ever encountered. If one is a little fuzzy on macro economics, the animated charts are well done and explained about as simply as they could be. I wish I could force all of our congress critters to watch it, for I suspect most of them don’t understand these basic truths.

The point that we are kept busy wasting time and effort on defense over current issues, while accepting as a given the underlying framework enacted by the bankers and Progressives over the past hundred years, is profound. We need to go on offense to repeal a lot more than Obamacare to return to Constitutional government – starting with the end of the Federal Reserve.

Indeed, it is hard to argue with the logic that anything less would be futile in the end. The Fed is a malignant tumor, which unless completely eliminated will just metastasize again. ◄Dave►

Almost two years ago, I wrote about a couple of articles in the American Thinker regarding the Cloward-Piven Strategy for collapsing our economy as a prelude to a Marxist revolution in America. I just stumbled upon a follow-up article there, which caused me to reread my earlier post. So many mind-numbing things have happened to my country since writing Obamacoup that I was actually surprised at the passion I still had for trying to save this country at the time. James Simpson exceeded it in his now year old Cloward-Piven Government article. I have heard Glenn Beck and others mention this subject from time to time, but I am sure that 90% of the sheeple have never heard of it, and at least 99% have never bothered to read about it. If you are not familiar with the subject, reading my earlier post first provides background for appreciating Simpson’s excellent article.

Watching the Obamessiah’s victories rack up in the lame-duck congress, it is just mind boggling how little regard the politicians have for voters and our erstwhile Constitution. The FCC’s move to control the internet is just about the final straw. Read John Fund’s very informative exposure of the players behind it at “The Net Neutrality Coup.”

I’ll admit that in a way, I am looking forward to the Marxist’s planned crash and revolution. I am weary of this limbo state, when it is too late to fix this country with the ballot box, yet too early to use the ammo box. Sooner or later, to reclaim our Constitution, we are just going to have to shoot the arrogant bastards… ◄Dave►

This is priceless! From her Facebook page, quoted in its entirety:

A Thanksgiving Message to All 57 States

by Sarah Palin on Thursday, November 25, 2010 at 5:46pm

My fellow Americans in all 57 states, the time has changed for come. With our country founded more than 20 centuries ago, we have much to celebrate – from the FBI’s 100 days to the reforms that bring greater inefficiencies to our health care system. We know that countries like Europe are willing to stand with us in our fight to halt the rise of privacy, and Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. And let’s face it, everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma and they end up taking up a hospital bed. It costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early, and they got some treatment, and ah, a breathalyzer, or an inhalator. I mean, not a breathalyzer, ah, I don’t know what the term is in Austrian for that…

Of course, the paragraph above is based on a series of misstatements and verbal gaffes made by Barack Obama (I didn’t have enough time to do one for Joe Biden). YouTube links are provided just in case you doubt the accuracy of these all too human slips-of-the-tongue. If you can’t remember hearing about them, that’s because for the most part the media didn’t consider them newsworthy. I have no complaint about that. Everybody makes the occasional verbal gaffe – even news anchors .

Obviously, I would have been even more impressed if the media showed some consistency on this issue. Unfortunately, it seems they couldn’t resist the temptation to turn a simple one word slip-of-the-tongue of mine into a major political headline. The one word slip occurred yesterday during one of my seven back-to-back interviews wherein I was privileged to speak to the American public about the important, world-changing issues before us.

If the media had bothered to actually listen to all of my remarks on Glenn Beck’s radio show , they would have noticed that I refer to South Korea as our ally throughout, that I corrected myself seconds after my slip-of-the-tongue, and that I made it abundantly clear that pressure should be put on China to restrict energy exports to the North Korean regime. The media could even have done due diligence and checked my previous statements on the subject, which have always been consistent, and in fact even ahead of the curve . But why let the facts get in the way of a good story? (And for that matter, why not just make up stories out of thin air – like the totally false hard news story which has run for three days now reporting that I lobbied the producers of “Dancing with the Stars” to cast a former Senate candidate on their show. That lie is further clear proof that the media completely makes things up without doing even rudimentary fact-checking.)

“Hope springs eternal” as the poet says. Let’s hope that perhaps, just maybe, they might get it right next time. When we the people are effective in holding America’s free press accountable for responsible and truthful reporting, then we shall all have even more to be thankful for!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

- Sarah Palin

Oh my! OK, put down the knife, Sarah, and rinse the offal off your boots… this carcass is neatly field dressed.

Very well done! I first heard about this “gaffe” on Shepard Smith’s “Studio B” about two hours after it was made. He commented that, if it was true, it was “pretty bad.” No, it would have been pathetic; as was reporting on it without the slightest effort to find out if it was true, Shep! Undoubtedly, George Soros’ Media Matters organization (who have employees assigned to listen real-time to every word on Glenn Beck’s programs) started it and, as usual, their minions in the press jumped on it. I immediately went and listened to the interview with Beck twice and it was so obviously a slip of the tongue that nobody could honestly conclude otherwise.

There is no excuse for anyone in the media (including Shepard Smith) not to have done the same thing before gleefully running a story on it. These partisan “reporters” are incorrigible. They wonder why they are losing their readers/audience. The ability for someone like Palin to bypass their publications and publish gems like this on social media sites will make these dishonest spinmeisters increasingly irrelevant.

The more I see of Palin, the more I like her. This clever lady has pluck in spades and those who underestimate her mind are fooling themselves. She doesn’t need a teleprompter to deliver an inspirational speech. Her ability to speak extemporaneously puts the Obamessiah to shame. I’d pay good money to watch a debate between them. You go girl! ◄Dave►

I have wondered why Sarah Palin is such a polarizing figure. Some of us adore her, and she drives the Left out of their minds. I had put it down to the universal demonization of her by the lame-stream media, as she delightfully refers to her tormentors, but I think S.E. Cupp has nailed it:

It seems everyone wants a piece of Palin these days. Some are fans, some are hostile foes. But regardless, we just can’t stop talking about her. Will there ever be a time when we decide that we’ve figured her out and there’s nothing else to say?

And then it hit me. The reason Palin has become such a lightening rod, a kingmaker and a punching bag, a celebrity and a power player, is simple. It’s because she’s so gosh darn happy.

For her fans, like the ones I had the pleasure of meeting in Chicago, she’s refreshingly upbeat and resilient, the bubbly friend from childhood who was always great at cheering you up and cheerleading you on.

But for her detractors, nothing raises the ire of cynical liberals more than a happy-go-lucky, totally unburdened, freethinking and self-assured conservative woman who has everything she wants and then some. And without anyone’s help.

Sure, she’ll tell you that Todd, her parents and her children are an invaluable support system. But after eight years of hearing that George W. Bush was a nepotism experiment gone wrong, Sarah Palin has made it here (wherever this is) on her own. John McCain’s imprimatur certainly launched her into the national spotlight, but she became the youngest and first female governor of Alaska all on her own.
How dare she?

Liberalism, after all, needs to imagine an unhappy populace. Passing sweeping entitlement programs and convincing voters that big government is the answer only works if people are frustrated with their stations in life.

It now occurs to me that a big part of her charm is exactly her cheerful positive demeanor and the way she seems almost unaffected by all of the hostile arrows constantly flying her way. Perhaps it is time for another (cheerful) Morning in America, with folks who actually respect the Constitution running the show. How does Palin/Rubio 2012 sound? Not enough experience as politicians? Methinks that be a good thing. ◄Dave►

I have been hopelessly in love with Sarah Palin since the very first speech she gave after being selected as his VP candidate by John McCain. I was never once swayed by all the attempts to demonize her and marginalize her intelligence. I always assumed that the immediate, obviously coordinated, and overwhelming effort by the elites to do so bespoke their recognition of the danger her homespun charm and charisma held for their future. Else, if they actually believed their spin, they were simply over-schooled and undereducated fools. Since it is SOP for Progressives to do this to any popular conservative, had I been Sarah, I would have been flattered by their intensity.

When one chunks up and looks at the big picture, it is a blessing that McCain lost in ’08. He too is a Progressive; and while he would have taken a slower pace, we would still be marching toward socialism. Like the proverbial frog in the slowly heated pot, there would never have been a T-Party movement, and little hope of ever saving our Constitutional Republic. We may not save it still; but at least we have given ourselves a small chance at it. Sarah Palin has done more for her country in these past two years than she ever could have hoped to accomplish as VP, and I, for one, am eternally grateful for her efforts.

She has penned a piece for NRO entitled, “The Midterms:Lessons Learned and the Way Forward.” It concludes:

I have said all along that this election must be seen in conjunction with the next. Ultimately 2010 must be viewed as just the first battle in a much longer fight that leads to November 6, 2012, and beyond. We cannot fully restore and revive America until we replace Obama. The meaning of the 2010 election was rebuke, reject, and repeal. We rebuked Washington’s power grab, rejected this unwanted “fundamental transformation of America,” and began the process to repeal the dangerous policies inflicted on us. But this theme will only complement the theme of 2012, which is renew, revive, and restore. In 2012, we need to renew our optimistic, pioneering spirit, revive our free-market system, and restore constitutional limits and our standing in the world as the abiding beacon of freedom.

Till then, I hope that commonsense patriots will join me in applauding the real heroes of this election year: the Tea Party Americans. In 2008, we were told that we had to “move beyond Reagan.” Well, some of us refused to believe that America chose big-government European-style socialism. American voters elected a politician who cloaked his agenda in the language of moderation. Once the mask was removed, Americans rejected his “fundamental transformation.” The Tea Party reminded us that Reaganism is still our foundation. I think the Gipper is smiling down on us today waving the Gadsden Flag.

Read the whole thing… and for those who bought the notion that she is stupid… try thinking for yourself for a change. Personally, I hope she continues to exercise her substantial influence without the restraint of an elected office; but if she decides that she needs to run again and we still have elections in ’12, she has my support. ◄Dave►

A brilliant bit! How pathetic that only one of these pinheads even recognized the word. Lord Keynes would not be amused… ◄Dave►

This quote from Barry Goldwater’s “Conscience of A Conservative” would make a perfect T-Party Manifesto:

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is “needed” before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents’ “interests,” I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can. -Barry Goldwater

Can anyone say it any better? I sure hope the Republican “leadership/establishment” wakes up to the reality that this is precisely what we proudly leaderless and fiercely sovereign individuals are demanding of our employees in DC. Else, there will be a serious Third Party movement in 2012 and the Republican Party will be history. ◄Dave►

I know you kids aren’t going to believe it, but there was a time when our cultural icons – both actors and media elites – were actually proud Americans, who understood the evils of Marxism and were not afraid to say so on camera (while smoking, no less!). Consider that this film was made when I was only 15, before the Cuban missile crisis or the Vietnam war. It is stunning how far the communists have advanced in subverting our culture from within; how tragic it is that we are no longer an industrial economy to be reckoned with; and how open the Marxists are within our own government now.

Almost everything said still applies; but there is no one left to say it… and the sheeple wouldn’t believe it if they did. I weep for my country, which simply isn’t the same place I grew up in… ◄Dave►

Here is an incredible painting that is presented in a remarkable way on artist Jon McNaughton’s innovative website.

The Forgotten Man

Please do yourself a favor and visit the artist’s website for an explanation of the elements in this painting. Enable JavaScript so you can use the mouse  rollover feature to zoom in and identify each president, and read a short vignette about them. The menu items “The Collapse of the Dollar” and “What Has Obama Done” are succinct and well written too. Kudos to Jon for a masterpiece, in many more ways than one. ◄Dave►

It is incredibly easy to discredit legitimate inquiry into incongruous political stories, by labeling questioners as hate-filled “conspiracy nuts.” Then, to cement the deal, all one needs do is manufacture some patently false evidence that purports to support the “conspiracy theory,” and when the inquirers take the bait, expose it as false and blame the “nutters” for manufacturing it.

Over a year ago, I was labeled a hate-mongering racist for publicly pointing out that Obama was a Marxist. Yet, that conclusion would necessarily befall the least intuitive inquirer, who simply took the time, as I had, to read his own autobiography, “Dreams of my Father,” the literary hoax ghostwritten by his terrorist pal, Bill Ayers. How many serious thinkers would still argue with my observation, after the undeniable evidence of the past six months of Obama’s policy initiatives? Does that make me a “conspiracy nut?”

Glenn Beck, et al, are starting to put the pieces together and see an organized effort on a grand scale to fundamentally transform America into a glorious Marxist utopia. When one peels back the onion and looks closely at all the rabidly Marxist individuals, who have now ascended to the highest levels of our government – particularly Obama’s closest advisers and commissars – it becomes increasingly difficult not to see something akin to a conspiracy at play.

Who seriously doubts that Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright would now be among those sitting at the right hand of the Obamessiah today, had it not been necessary to throw them under the bus when the true Marxist nature of these very close associates was exposed during the campaign? Does it mark one as a “conspiracy nut” just to notice such things, or only when one has the audacity to speak publicly of them?

Not surprisingly, the latest purported Kenyon Birth Certificate is yet another forgery. The Obama supporter who forged it brags that he “punked” the “Birthers” with it. I might be offended at the label “Birther” were it not so laugh out loud funny that 35% of those bandying the term about, are convinced that George Bush personally ordered explosives to be placed in the World Trade Center and under the levies around New Orleans, to cause the 911 and Katrina disasters for political purposes.

I gladly return to my long-held assertion that the whole birth certificate issue is a canard – Obama is ineligible to serve as POTUS simply by definition of “Natural Born,” since his (reported) father was not an American citizen. Period. No conspiracy theory required. I have long conjectured that it is not necessarily the place of his birth that he is hiding, but the potential for embarrassment and discredit over the lies and distortions in his own books regarding his personal narrative.

Those of us old enough to be contemporaries of his mother, have no difficulty recalling the social paradigm that existed at the time of his birth. It is the height of politically incorrect speech to mention it today, but in 1961 any white teen-aged girl who slept around with Negroes (the polite term at the time), was definitely considered a slut by just about every segment of American society, including Black society. To get knocked-up by one, in those times before legal abortions were readily available, would constitute a social disaster – especially in Hawaii.

As any Vietnam era veteran can attest, the Asian cultures of Hawaii, Japan, Korea, et al, were even more prejudiced against the Negro race than the average southern American at the time. I can report from personal experience that even the brothels in these three places were segregated; and the prostitutes who serviced my Black buddies were routinely shunned by those who wouldn’t. The notion that Obama Sr. and his mother could have lived a normal married life in Hawaii, and nobody in their happy neighborhood even remembers them, is laughable.

They would have stuck out like a sore thumb anywhere on the island of Oahu, and been the subject of much “talk stink” about them. I lived on Oahu for eight years in the late ’80s and early ’90s and not much had changed even then. Even Whites are in the minority in Hawaii. Blacks were very rare on Oahu (less than 1% of the population) and almost all are in the military.

How and why this young authentic Black Muslim married this 17-year-old child is curious, considering he already had a wife back home. Perhaps the Dunham’s waived the dowry; but how did this poor exchange student plan to support a second family? I think it reasonable to assume that he didn’t; for within two weeks of Obama’s birth, his mother was living in Seattle and enrolled in college there, while Obama Sr. was still attending the University of Hawaii. She did not return to Hawaii until after he had left there to study at Harvard.

Jerome Corsi has documented this time-line, which puts the lie to the tale Obama told in “Dreams from My Father”:

,
Were the MSM as interested in the integrity of politicians on the Left as they are in those on the Right, this report in itself would be a big story. The questions and conjecture Corsi posits are all valid.

I’ll submit two others. First, the forensic expert who first exposed as a forgery the initial COLB posted by the Obama campaign, revealed that there were artifacts left on it that show it was originally a COLB for his half-sister, who was clearly born in Indonesia. It should be a relatively simple matter to determine whether she does in fact have a COLB on file in Hawaii. If she does, it represents prima facia evidence that a COLB from Hawaii means nothing in determining the place of birth of its holder; as it is, or at least was, routinely used to skirt the necessity of dealing with the Federal Immigration authorities to straighten out the messy issues surrounding the birth of children of Hawaiian citizens on foreign soil.

Second, months ago I watched a clip of Ann Dunham’s best friend at Mercer Island High School being interviewed by a TV reporter very early on in Obama’s campaign, regarding her surprise visit back to Seattle when Barack was only a few days old. She was stunned that she was now a mother and apparently not very excited about it or competent at the task. Barack messed his diaper and Stanley thrust him at her to change, as if she were incapable of the unpleasant chore. This was being reported as a solo “vacation” visit, which made little sense for a young mother only a few days after childbirth. Somewhere, I saw conjecture at the time that she may in fact have been sent to Canada to complete her pregnancy, at one of the resident facilities they offered for such “embarrassing” events for young single mothers.

This resonated with me at the time; for if the child had been born in Seattle, there would be no reason to register his birth in Hawaii. Had he been born in a hospital in Hawaii, there likewise would have been no reason for the COLB registration procedure. The Kenya birth conjecture just never made sense to me, even though his grandmother swears she attended his birth there. Given what Corsi has documented here regarding her staying in Seattle for another year, without returning to Hawaii where her supposed husband and parents lived, this conjecture has renewed standing in my hopelessly curious mind.

One thing is certain. The narrative the Obamessiah tells about his Nativity is pure bunk. ◄Dave►

Look what has surfaced!

Orly Taitz, the attorney dogging the constitutional eligibility issue for the Obamessiah’s position, has turned up what appears to be his real birth certificate – from Kenya. If it is real, it is stunning. I have been saying forever that it doesn’t matter where he was actually born, and I assumed it was Hawaii, by definition he is NOT a “natural born citizen” because his father was not an American. If this is real, suddenly it cannot be shrugged off as a technicality by anyone.

As I have been saying, she is as serious as a heart attack, and she is ammending her lawsuits to include this document:

Taitz told WND that the document came from an anonymous source who doesn’t want his name known because “he’s afraid for his life.”

Taitz’s motion, filed yesterday in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, requests the purported evidence of Obama’s birth – both the alleged birth certificate and foreign records not yet obtained – be preserved from destruction, asks for permission to legally request documents from Kenya and seeks a subpoena for deposition from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

“I filed the motion with the court asking for expedited discovery, which would allow me to start subpoenas and depositions even before Obama and the government responds,” Taitz told WND. “I am asking the judge to give me the power to subpoena the documents from the Kenyan embassy and to require a deposition from Hillary Clinton so they will be forced to authenticate [the birth certificate].

“I’m forcing the issue, where Obama will have to respond,” she said.

“Before, they said, ‘You don’t have anything backing your claims,’” Taitz explained. “Now I have something. In fact, I have posted on the Internet more than Obama has. My birth certificate actually has signatures.”

Indeed! The article has blow-ups of the document so one can read the particulars of his birth in Mombasa. ◄Dave►

Chuck Baldwin’s son, Timothy Baldwin, Esq., Makes a powerful case for our responsibilities as individual Sovereigns in, “The American Revolution Revisited.” Here is how it ends:

However, the Federal government today does not recognize the Sovereignty in the people of the respective states; it does not recognizes the respective States’ jurisdiction over all matters not expressly delegated to the federal government; and it does not seem to acknowledge State Sovereignty under the 10th amendment of the US Constitution. Given their evident intent and purposes to continually grow in power and to continually oppress and suppress the sovereignty of we the people, against our respective states, the question becomes, how will they be made to understand this? It is of course up to the Sovereigns in each state to answer this question. And we see the answers arriving through State laws such as the Firearms Freedom Act.

Go read the well written case for yourself. ◄Dave►

Naked truth doesn’t get any more hard hitting than JB Williams recent article in Canada Free Press. You absolutely must read the whole thing; but here are a few notable quotes:

Since the most powerful people in America fear the wrath of Obamanation, maybe you should too! They are indeed a dangerous bunch, after all…

Every member of the Supreme Court, every member of congress, every member of the Joint Chiefs, most members of the DOD, CIA, FBI, Secret Service and state run media, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, NPR, MSNBC, Fox and print news, knows that Barack Hussein Obama does NOT meet Article II – Section I constitutional requirements for the office he holds. By his own biography, there is NO way he can pass the test. The hard evidence is so far beyond overwhelming, it is ridiculous.

But not ONE member of America’s most powerful people will dare confront Obama and his anti-American cabal on the subject. The Constitution does NOT stand. Do you think there is no reason for this?

and…

Choose your Battles

This is why all Obama supporters label all Obama opponents “racists.” In their limited imagination, they can’t fathom someone actually opposing his Marxist anti-American pro-Terrorist belief system and policies. In their minds, only “racists” would oppose a blatant Marxist rushing to destroy the most powerful nation on earth.

Don’t waste a minute trying to have a fact-based logical discussion with them. They do NOT care what the facts are and they have no foundation upon which to discern simple right and wrong. Though they use the term “fascist” all day long in an attempt to silence their opposition, they have no idea what the word actually means and they don’t care.

But rest easy, as they only account for some 25-28% of American voters and less than 20% of society. Too many, I agree, but fight the battles worth winning. Don’t waste your energy arguing with idiots who only seek access to your earnings. Their agenda trumps their understanding and respect for the truth…

and…

Peaceful Options Evaporate

I want to be VERY clear. I do NOT desire or promote any form of violence or any armed insurrection of the sort recently used to depose an illegal dictator in Honduras. Despite the reality that America is facing an historic Constitutional Crisis with an illegal dictator of its own, violent methods for saving a nation and a way of life, are “last resort” measures only.

However, in my opinion, we are fast approaching the point of “no peaceful resolution” when only extreme measures will remain. As American patriots who still know and still care about the Constitution lose all peaceful options for redress and are forced deeper into a socio-economic corner, the human desire to be free which fuels the urge to resort to violence, will grow.

Violence will grow in both camps, in the absence of any other viable alternatives. Since Obama refuses to respect the Constitution or the law, and congress and the courts opt to turn their collective heads, only extreme options will soon remain. This administration is running roughshod over the people and the states and sooner or later, the backlash is coming.

and…

One of two events will ignite the new battle for freedom in America.

Either Obama succeeds in fraudulently holding on to his power long enough to bankrupt the nation, or the people rise up and bankrupt the Fed before Obama can bankrupt every American.

Either way, the streets will burn!

Americans still hoping to avoid a confrontation with international leftists are hoping in vain. Whether Obama supporters tire of their false messiah’s lies and begin to take by force, that which Obama promised but could not deliver,—or true patriots rise up and put a stop to his rape and plundering of a great nation, leaving his supporters in worse condition than before his election, the near future looks the same.

Broad based economic strife, racial violence, government plunder or street gang plunder… no matter which way we go from here, the streets of America are going to burn. This has been a long time coming. There’s almost no chance of escaping it at this late hour.

International leftists did not spend billions and decades setting up the “silent coup” of the United States to simply walk away when busted. They went “all-in” in the last election. They were playing for keeps. They will not let go of their death grip on the United States without a blood bath…

and…

Do YOU Fear Obama?

You should, because it’s clear that the most powerful people in this country do.

Half of the people you expect to stop this insanity are quiet co-conspirators in the silent coup. The other half is paralyzed by fear, motivated only by political self-preservation.

Americans keep asking what they can do because they see that none of their leaders are doing anything to stop the demise of their beloved country. It’s the right question, because those leaders are NOT going to stop this thing.

and…

The End Game

The clock is ticking… Which bomb explodes first?

Obama and Co. are rushing to force Americans into a corner where they will not be able to afford to fight back. Patriots are rushing to fight back before Obama removes the ability to fight back.

No matter which clock ticks down first, this thing is going to blow. There are patriots in this country who are prepared to fight and die for the Constitution and Freedom. But there are also many in this country who are equally ready to kill for Obama and his Marxist agenda. Neither side is going to walk away from the coming battle…

Freedom may be lost in America, but it won’t go down without a fight. Likewise, the left may be defeated, but they won’t walk away without a blood bath… They think they have the American people on their knees already. They won’t let up until forced to let up. They have made this very clear… If I post reader comments from this column, you will see what I see daily.

Marxists established control of academia, the press and the courts years before establishing filibuster-proof control of congress and unfettered control of the executive branch. Obama has appointed more unelected Czars in thirty days than the Soviet Union did in thirty years.

and…

There is only ONE End Game…

Obama and Pelosi have removed any possibility for peaceful resolution. The courts are the forum for peaceful resolution and the courts are missing in action on the matter. Congress is the place for peaceful resolution, but the left is not seeking any form of resolution, nor will they even allow the opposition a voice.

When no peaceful option is allowed, what options remains?

The time to stand and be counted is coming. The left will take no prisoners. American patriots are running out of options and out of time to act.

Internal conflict is a foregone conclusion now. The stage has been set, the battle lines drawn, the forces assembled. It just hasn’t reached a level of unbridled violence yet. The only thing that is not certain is what kind of America emerges from the conflict on the backside of the coming violence.

Will the anti-American left outnumber and overpower the American patriots, or will American patriots and freedom prevail?

The answer to this question will soon be written in history. The rest has already been written…

I pray for my country, my fellow patriots, for freedom and liberty and for justice. The time has come again, for all good men to come to the aid of their nation. Freedom has never been free and the bill has come due again…

I pray that enough American patriots remain, ready to do what must be done.

But it’s all just my opinion, and today, I’d love to be wrong!

I sure wish he was. I wonder how much time we have left before the civil war between the ghetto infested cities and Flyover Country? ◄Dave►

I have been saying forever that this wouldn’t go away and that eventually some judge will have to pay attention to all the challenges to Obama’s not being a Natural Born Citizen. Orly Taitz finally found one:

In what ultimately could prove to be a turning point in the legal challenges to Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president, a federal judge in California has planned a hearing on the merits of a federal court case raising those questions.

According to attorney Orly Taitz, who is working on multiple cases alleging Obama is a “usurper” because he doesn’t meet the constitutional requirement that only a “natural born citizen” can be president, U.S. District Judge David O. Carter ruled in a hearing today that her case will move forward.

The hearing was on her motion for a default order against Obama, because although Taitz said she notified him of the action, Obama’s attorneys did not make an appearance.

Her complaint was filed against the president on Jan. 20, the day of his inauguration, over his actions before he became president.

Taitz has told WND if her motion for default is granted she immediately would request access to Obama’s birth records and other documentation that could determine his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office.

She told WND that at today’s hearing, the judge issued no orders, but promised that the case would be moved forward and he would address the merits of the dispute. He said there would be no dismissals based on “procedural issues.”

The judge said as a former Marine he recognizes the importance of having a constitutionally qualified president.

While no attorneys appeared on Obama’s behalf, several members of the U.S. Attorney’s office in California were in attendance, and sought to intervene on behalf of Obama over his actions before becoming president.

The judge ordered them to accept service of the lawsuit immediately and then continued the case to an unannounced date.

Taitz told WND, “For first time, we have a judge who’s listening.”
