On his first Father’s Day in the White House, Barack Obama exalted the role of surrogate dads:

“We also honor those surrogate fathers who raise, mentor, or care for someone else’s child. Thousands of young children benefit from the influence of great men, and we salute their willingness to give and continue giving.”

Ann Dunham married Barack Obama’s father, the focus of his “autobiography.” Barack Senior abandoned the family before the child was two years old.  Dad was not exactly father of the year.  He is described as a “drunk and a bigot,” who was a cruel man, prone to drunken rages. (dailymail.co.uk). 

Time reporter Amanda Ripley says Ann filed for divorce from Barack Senior in 1964, citing “grievous mental suffering” as the grounds.  That may have been the standard grounds for divorce in those days.

But Barack Senior’s third wife, Ruth, claimed he beat her brutally in drunken rages.  Sharon Churcher describes Barack Senior as an abusive bigamist and womanizer.  Obama blames “racism” on both sides for the demise of his parents’ marriage.

Ann met Indonesian Lolo Soetoro and married him when Barry was about six years old.  Starting a new life with a new husband is one thing but dragging a young child to a Third World country is quite another.

Jakarta, Indonesia in the 1960’s was a harsh place for a child.  Not much of an infrastructure and staggering inflation which was creating shortages.  Indonesia was a violent place in the era following hostilities with the Dutch.  Not exactly the white picket fence kind of place.

Or perhaps he was lionizing his late maternal grandfather, a man he has described as having a “complete inability to discipline his appetites.” (The Audacity of Hope, Page 203).  Young Barry had the benefit of several surrogate dads, none as markedly debauched as “Frank”. 

Another one of Barry’s splendid adult role models was communist, poet, alcoholic, sexual deviant and fomenter of racial hatred, Frank Marshall Davis.  Cleverly disguised as “Frank” in Dreams, we learn that young Barry was treated to Davis’ counsel on numerous occasions.  Dear Grandpa Stanley, blessed with an inordinate amount of free time thanks to his wife’s hard work, enjoyed whiling away the hours with Davis, drinking and smoking pot. 

Davis was an open supporter of the Soviet Union and his influence on Obama is hard to overlook.  The poet also admitted to writing a pornographic novel under the pseudonym of Bob Greene in which the protagonist seduces a 13 year old girl.  Davis claimed he had changed names and identities but the novel was based on actual experiences.  To clarify the depth of Marshall’s perversion:  he actually believed sex with a 13 year old child would be in the child’s best interests.  He graciously spared her the sting of rejection and made certain her earliest sexual experiences would be with the maestro himself, according to Toby Harnden in the Telegraph.  Davis also proudly proclaimed himself bisexual, a voyeur and exhibitionist who wished he’d had two penises. 

In a lifetime of associations with plainly unsavory characters, poet and pornographer, Frank Marshall Davis ranks among the least savory of the lot. 

In yet another series of twists and loops, Frank Marshall, who claimed to be the victim of a lynching at age five, was born in Kansas, as were the Dunham’s.  It is not entirely clear whether Davis and Dunham knew each other in Kansas.  They all ended up in Hawaii.  Davis, an unabashed admirer of the Soviet Union, member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and fomenter of racial hatred, had worked as a columnist in Chicago, where he fancied himself someone of Great Importance.

Davis’s support of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party was so extreme that he was rejected by the NAACP in Chicago, not exactly a conservative organization, out of fears that his extremism would drive new members away.  In 1956, Davis had exercised his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination while being investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).  He chose to remain silent rather than acknowledge the excruciatingly obvious--that he was a communist. Davis’s support of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party was so extreme that he was rejected by the NAACP in Chicago, not exactly a conservative organization, out of fears that his extremism would drive new members away.  In 1956, Davis had exercised his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination while being investigated by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).  He chose to remain silent rather than acknowledge the excruciatingly obvious--that he was a communist. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/2591139/Barack-Obamas-true-colours-The-making-of-the-man-who-would-be-US-president.html

Davis was an important mentor to Obama and they consorted until Barry left for college.  Davis shared his special version of how to improve race relations:  “never trust white people.” Davis died in 1987 but was eventually replaced by Reverend Jeremiah Wright. 

Obama’s earliest visits to dear Uncle Frank began when Barry was just a vulnerable young boy of ten.  Already confused and traumatized by his chaotic childhood, who better to step up to the role of Big Brother than a race bating, America hating, rabid sexual deviant and pornographer?

SHERMAN FREDERICK: Why I dumped Obama's party

Obama's slip is showing: The public likes his big plans much less than it likes him, and that can't

Updated Sunday, June 21st 2009, 11:21 AM

One of President Obama's favorite words is "unsustainable." It also happens to be the perfect description of his standing with the American people.

Polls consistently find he is personally more popular than his major policies. That situation is unsustainable - something has to give. The first law of politics says the two must eventually get in sync.

Bet that Obama's popularity will give. In part that's because, even if he wanted to, he can't undo the big policies the public doesn't like, especially his adding to the deficit and his aggressive push to get government more involved in private industry.

Another reason is that Obama doesn't want to change course and ridicules those who think he should. At a Democratic fund-raiser Thursday, the President reportedly mimicked a robot as he called criticism of his policies "predictable."

His partisan audience yukked it up, but the last laugh may be on Dems who follow their audacious leader too closely. Dem gains in the last two elections came primarily from conservative-leaning districts and some members already are worried about re-election. If the tide turns against Obama, they could be in trouble.

Yet Obama, like George Bush, seems to be digging a foxhole and insisting he is right and the public is wrong. We know how that worked out for Bush and the GOP.

While it's too early to say Obama's honeymoon is over, the public is waking up to the danger of uncontrolled government power and spending. Three separate polls last week had similar findings, and they weren't pretty for the White House.

Two found decline in Obama's job approval rating. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll pegged it at 56%, down five points. Most important, independents dropped dramatically, from nearly a two-to-one approval to closely divided.

Nearly 70% of those polled are worried about Washington's intervention in the economy and 58% said Obama and Congress should focus more on the deficit. Most disapproved of Obama's decision to close the terrorists' prison at Guantanamo.

Similarly, the Pew Research Center found Obama's approval on the economy has declined from 60% in April to 52% now.

A third poll, by the New York Times and CBS, found 60% of Americans believe Obama doesn't have a plan to deal with the deficit. Less than half approve of how he is dealing with health care and automakers.

In the short term, Obama is prevailing with nonstop campaigning. From daily TV speeches to political-style town halls, he is using his best weapons - his charisma and the power of the office. It's have TelePrompTer, will travel.

But facts, such as rising unemployment, are stubborn things and Obama's long-term problem is that he is giving only lip service to public doubts. He says he wants government to have a "light touch," yet every move is heavy-handed.

He says the deficit keeps him awake at night, yet he spends his daytime hours adding to it, most recently with a health bill that would cost at least $1 trillion over 10 years.

Obama dares call this reform and says it will save money. Wisely, the public doesn't believe him. And just wait till voters get the bill for his carbon tax.

Even Congress is getting rebellious. The health bill is proving too expensive for some liberals who clamored for it and Obama's overhaul of financial services was met mostly with skepticism.

The most dramatic rebuke came when both the House and Senate voted overwhelmingly to condemn Tehran’s crackdown on courageous demonstrators protesting the election. The bold, bipartisan statement stands in contrast to Obama's comments, which grew more forceful yesterday but still fall short of what is needed from the leader of the free world. 

He is guilty of looking weak and indecisive while a democracy revolution unfolds in a dangerous Muslim nation. 

That's not where an American President should be at this historic moment.

Missing! Two Japanese Nationals at heart of `counterfeit’ $134.5 billion U.S. bearer bonds story
 By Douglas Hagmann & Judi McLeod

Good morning America!  On June 3, either an attempted attack on the economy of the U.S. on an unprecedented scale was narrowly averted--or a criminal conspiracy involving the U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve that would legitimize the most radical of globalist conspiracies of all time--was exposed. In either event, a deliberate media blackout was employed in the U.S.  When news of the event gained traction in the foreign media, the U.S. media was compelled to report it as well, but only after facts could be changed and damage control employed by the highest levels of the U.S. government, aided and abetted by faceless global powerbrokers.

Jimmy Carter has devolved from being America’s worst president to being America’s worst ex-president.

  By Cliff Kincaid  Wednesday, June 17, 2009

While meaningless United Nations hand-wringing over the North Korean nuclear weapons program garnered the headlines, the world body is moving ahead with a global conference to lay the groundwork for world government financed by global taxes. The communist head of the U.N. General Assembly is leading the effort, but he is getting crucial support from “progressive” economists who advise the Obama Administration and the Democratic Party.

The United Nations Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis and Its Impact on Development, previously scheduled for June 1-3, will now take place on June 24-26.

U.N. General Assembly President Miguel D’Escoto is the U.N. point man on these “global governance” issues. We noted his role at the United Nations in a column last October. Now, even the New York Times is paying attention to what this crackpot has been up to.

D’Escoto, the Times said, believes the way out of the global financial crisis “should be lined with all manner of new global institutions, authorities and advisory boards,” including the Global Stimulus Fund, the Global Public Goods Authority, the Global Tax Authority, the Global Financial Products Safety Commission, the Global Financial Regulatory Authority, the Global Competition Authority, the Global Council of Financial and Economic Advisers, the Global Economic Coordination Council, and the World Monetary Board.

D’Escoto is the former foreign minister of Communist Sandinista Nicaragua and Catholic Priest of the Maryknoll Order who advocates Marxist-oriented liberation theology and won the Lenin Peace Prize from the old Soviet Union. D’Escoto also claims a Master’s of Science from Columbia University’s School of Journalism.

The Times interviewed Paul Oquist, D’Escoto’s senior adviser for the conference, who sat beneath portraits of Fidel Castro of Cuba, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, among others.

The problem is that the Times, in its story, “At U.N., a Sandinista’s Plan for Recovery,” didn’t mention until the 13th paragraph that the official U.N. list of “experts” behind the plan include an American economist, Joseph E. Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize-winning professor from Columbia University who supported and contributed to Obama’s presidential campaign and advises Congressional Democrats on economic policy.

Stiglitz, an advocate of nationalizing U.S. banks, is also a member of the Socialist International Commission on Global Financial Issues and his name appears on a separate list of 15 “special advisers” to D’Escoto obtained from the U.N. by Inner City Press. Another name on the list-Noam Chomsky-is on the board of the Communist Party spin-off, the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism.

Working With A Castroite

Aides to D’Escoto “point out repeatedly that the president got many of his ideas from a distinguished panel of experts led by an American economist and Nobel laureate, Joseph E. Stiglitz,” the Times noted.

Stiglitz, a former Clinton official and financial contributor to the Democratic Party and its candidates, wrote the book, Making Globalization Work, in which he argues for a variety of global tax schemes that would cost American taxpayers billions of dollars. Last October he met behind closed doors with congressional Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to devise the economic “stimulus” plan of more federal spending and debt.

Incredibly, Stiglitz was quoted in a U.N. press release last October as saying that the United Nations, which is notorious for corruption, had to intervene in the financial crisis because it was “the one institution that was inclusive and had political legitimacy...”

Another one of the “experts” the Times neglected to mention was Robert Johnson, former managing director at Soros Fund Management and board member of the Institute for America’s Future, a sponsor of a June 1-3 “progressive” conference in Washington, D.C. that will honor pro-Castro Rep. Barbara Lee and socialist labor leader John Sweeney of the AFL-CIO.

The Hand Of Soros

The Soros-funded Open Society Institute gave the Institute for America’s Future $500,000 in 2008 in the area of “Idea Generation and Policy Change.”

Johnson also serves on the board of the Democracy Alliance, a wealthy liberal group that includes Soros and is committed to “fostering collaboration among progressive leaders and institutions..." 

Johnson’s involvement in the United Nations Conference on the World Financial and Economic Crisis demonstrates how this “collaboration” is occurring at the global level and involves representatives of socialist and communist governments at the U.N.

Other “experts” on the D’Escoto panel come from Russia and China, with one of his “special representatives,” Oswaldo Martinez, identified only as being from Communist Cuba, with no biography attached. Another D’Escoto “special representative,” socialist and Jesuit Priest Francois Houtart, is the author of “Socialism for the 21st Century.”

Toward this end, the “Report of the Commission of Experts of the President of the UN General Assembly on Reforms of the International Monetary and Financial System” raises the possibility of global taxes to finance one of President Obama’s legislative goals when he was a senator-committing 0.7 percent of Gross National Income as “official development assistance,” or foreign aid. This was the essence of Obama’s Global Poverty Act, which never came up for a full Senate vote because of increasing public awareness that it would commit the U.S. to spending $845 billion in additional foreign aid. 

Global Tax Agenda

Under the heading of “Innovative Sources of Financing” (page 109), the U.N. document declares that “For some time, the difficulty in meeting the UN official assistance target of 0.7 per cent of GNI of industrial countries as official development assistance, as well as the need for adequate funding for the provision of global and regional public goods (peace building, fighting global health pandemics, combating climate change and sustaining the global environment more generally) has generated proposals on how to guarantee stable sources of financing for these objectives.”

These proposals, the document says, include initiatives involving “taxation for global objectives.” It adds, “Two suggestions deserve special attention: a carbon tax and a levy on financial transactions.” The global carbon tax, the document says, could generate $130 billion a year, while estimates of the revenues from a currency transaction tax range from $15 to $35 billion. Other global taxation options are also examined.

However, as D’Escoto and his “experts” move ahead with the U.N.’s global economic conference, some of Obama’s representatives at the U.S. Mission to the U.N. seem to have grown sensitive to the communist’s frequent outbursts of loony leftism and anti-American rhetoric. Such remarks could bring unwarranted attention to what D’Escoto and the “progressive” American economists are trying to implement in the international economic realm.

For example, The Washington Post reported on American criticism of D’Escoto’s statements about Iran having no nuclear weapons program, exaggerating civilian deaths in Iraq, and calling for the release of Cuban Communist agents imprisoned in the U.S. D’Escoto “has repeatedly abused his position to pursue his personal agenda, and in doing so he diminishes the office and harms the General Assembly,” one U.S. official was quoted as saying.

The Times story about the upcoming global economic conference said that D’Escoto’s critics, who are “legion,” say that some of his proposals-"like levying an international tax on all financial transactions or replacing the dollar as the international reserve currency"-"are well beyond the role of the United Nations.” But none of these critics was identified as being in the Obama Administration or at the U.S. Mission to the U.N. Some of the critics seemed to be ambassadors from foreign countries who were peeved that they didn’t get more direct input into formulating the conference document.

However, other than being too outspoken about the elaborate plans for new global institutions and world government that are being drawn up, it would appear that D’Escoto’s goals and those of the Obama Administration correspond nicely. Perhaps that is because they share some of the same economic “experts” and Marxist philosophy.

By Space & Science Research Center  Wednesday, June 17, 2009

Today, for the first time in over two years, the Director of the Space and Science Research Center (SSRC) in Orlando, Florida, has issued a new prediction of the next climate change intended to emphasize the imminent ill-effects of this new climate period in an important warning to the American people and their leadership in Washington.

According to Center Director John Casey, “The climate change predictions which I started to pass out to our government and media in early 2007 based upon the ‘RC Theory’ have now come to pass, exactly as forecast. Global warming has ended, conclusively, as predicted. The Earth’s average temperature has begun its steep decline within the time frame I said it would. And last but not least, the Sun has entered a state of ‘hibernation’ when I said it would. This new solar period is one of the most amazing events in the history of science. During solar hibernations, the Sun makes significant reductions in output which always, always, brings long cold climates to the Earth. Unbelievably, this historic phenomena is still largely and intentionally unreported by the media and our leaders and therefore unknown by the American people. The new cold climate will usher in global travail that will be amplified specifically because of the catastrophic climate change policies of the administration of President Barack Obama that will leave most citizens unprepared.”

As to when the ill-effects of the new cold climate will be felt, Director Casey added, “The most frequent question I am asked is how soon will it get cold and just how cold? The purpose of this press release is to give the people an answer to that fundamental question in a more refined schedule to plan their adaptation to the next climate change. It is now possible to make an estimate of the timing of the descent into the next cold climate depths based upon the past behavior of the these solar cycles that have ruled the Earth for at least the last 1,200 years. The forecast of these major cold eras and solar hibernations associated with these cycles shows them to be accurate to over 90% using the RC Theory. The good news is that the SSRC will do what ever it can to get this information out even though our own government will not.

While it takes many decades for the heat buildup portion of these solar cycles as was seen in the past period of Sun-caused global warming, the plunge into the cold on the down side phases of these cycles takes relatively little time. My most recent calculations, just completed, indicate that global temperatures approaching 100 year cold weather records will begin to set in any year now but certainly between 2012 and 2017. The lower troposphere temperature anomaly range during this time frame will be between -0.2C and -0.75C. Further, between 2020 and 2025, if not before, we will begin to see 200 year cold temperature records routinely being broken with a temperature anomaly range between -0.75C and -1.20C. The coldest and most destructive years will be during the decade of the 2030’s with temperature ranges between -1.0C and -1.5C. These global temperature changes are keyed to the mean global temperature for the past one hundred years and while they may not seem like much, they translate to potentially massive agricultural losses world wide especially in the decades of the 2020’s and 2030’s.

Though the previously posted RC Theory research report indicated a bottom to the cold cycle in the year 2031, it should be noted the temperatures associated with these climate changes when charted, are not smooth sloped or straight line functions. For example, it is not uncommon to see 0.6C or larger temperature variations within just a few years time. Further, based on a study of previous solar hibernations it is likely we will see a steep slope initially leading to a gradual descent toward the 2031 bottom before we retrace the climb out to warmer decades thereafter. This implies some of the worst cold could arrive well before the predicted coldest years (i.e., the 2020’s and later). These early cold shocks will cause significant crop damage and then rebound to relative warmth within a year or two before diving once again even deeper into the cold era. We will of course continue to see hot, possibly record setting summer temperatures over the years. The noticeable change will be in winters that start sooner, are much colder and last longer, with the power to cause post-planting spring crop damage and early fall pre-harvest crop losses. Release of this detailed sequence of climate activity still includes the previous assertion that the pronounced cold of the next climate change will have devastating consequences for our primary wheat, corn, and other grain crops in Canada, and the United States. The last solar hibernation the Earth experienced was the so-called Dalton Minimum. Canada and the United States were at that time (1793-1830) still largely unsurveyed, undeveloped, and uncultivated and the great wheat and corn growing states and horizon-to-horizon agricultural regions we take for granted today that feed the world, simply did not exist. However, even crops back then were wiped out in New England, many people died, and thousands moved out to get away from the bitter cold that settled in along the Great Lakes and in the northeastern states. Pennsylvania, for example had ice on lakes and rivers in July. Historian John D. Post said of this period that it was ”…the last great subsistence crisis.” Of course, this new forecast does not include any major volcanic activity as happened during the Dalton Minimum which would accentuate the solar hibernation cold weather effects already in place.”

Casey somberly extended his comments saying, “I believe there is a strong likelihood that the initial cold weather surprises to the North American and global agricultural systems can begin any year now causing both perceived and later, real food and fuel shortages. The fuel shortages will arise in part from the loss of large percentages of corn crops now committed to ethanol for automotive fuels. The utter stupidity of using farm land and food crops for fuel will now be played out on a stage of global distress for all its people.

Unfortunately, while the cold climate advances quickly and the Sun cuts back on output, the Obama administration continues its political campaign to stop global warming, a climate period that has already ended. Our government has willfully not told the American people about the now unstoppable solar hibernation which continues to deepen with each passing month. This is without a doubt one of the darkest periods in US history for freedom of speech and integrity in the scientific community. In addition, this administration is planning to add $646 billion in new taxes to combat CO2 and other industrial greenhouse gas effects that have at most only a minor role in climate change. All the while, the US government is not devoting one penny in preparing our country for the rapidly approaching cold weather and attendant crop failures. There is now little doubt that this new cold climate era, in conjunction with the disastrous climate change policies of President Obama, has set the stage for what has the potential to be the worst subsistence crisis in recorded human history.”

As to why the general public should take such unusual and dramatic forecasts seriously, Casey responded, “First of all, the SSRC and I have been sending out this vital message of a coming cold climate era consistently for over two years. In addition, a former Chairman of the House of Representatives Science Committee says I should be taken seriously as have other top scientists around the world who have come to the same conclusion about the next cold climate period. World leaders are growing more skeptical of what they have been force fed about climate change. The President of the European Union Vaclav Klaus has said the CO2 induced man made climate concept is a “bad…valueless theory.” Also, the Space and Science Research Center is now the most quoted reference on the web regarding climate change to the next cold era. But even if we did not have this support, what I and the SSRC have already accomplished should say something about the credibility of the SSRC. We have been the only independent science research organization in America to correctly and publicly predict in advance, three of the most important climate change events in history; the end of global warming, the Sun going into ‘hibernation’ and the long term decline in the Earth’s temperatures. This contrasts with our government’s science agencies and the United Nations all of whom have completely missed or otherwise keep quiet about these events.

The bottom line is this: I believe these new predictions will be just as accurate as our previous announcements and given their nature, I urge everyone to give them genuine and immediate consideration. The SSRC and I, along with other scientists world wide have been doing our best using every venue to spread the word about getting prepared for the next climate change. What is different about this press release is that the schedule for the rough times ahead is now clearer, the first crop damaging cold will arrive earlier than thought, and thanks to the UN and the Obama administration, it will catch most people on this planet totally off guard. Therefore, the people deserve repeated updates and when possible, long range climate warnings such as this.”

Glenn Beck's Common Sense Now available in book stores nationwide...

GLENN: I got a letter from a woman in Arizona. She writes an open letter to our nation's leadership: I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don't you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ‑‑ what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band‑Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try ‑‑ please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input from some nonpoliticians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when he will rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

Can the US Constitution Survive Dictator Obama?
 By Sher Zieve

In light of the now almost daily bombardment of the US Constitution by the sitting US Commander in Chief, the question ‘is our Constitution still the law of the land?’ is increasingly being asked by We-the-People.  The problem of Barack Hussein Obama seeming not to be a natural-born citizen is still an extremely salient issue—an issue that has led Obama to hire a team of lawyers to keep all information on his actual country of birth and all of his college records hidden.  The latest estimate on the fees charged to do so is over $1Million.

Failure is Essential

  By Dr. Tim Ball  Monday, June 15, 2009

Man learns little from success, but much from failure. Anonymous
A Disturbing Trend Becomes Pervasive
Support and even reward of failure by the current US administration is the culmination of a pattern begun several years ago under the guise of progress. It generally began in the school system when students were not allowed to fail and worse were pushed unprepared to a higher level. 

By the time the student realized they were totally unprepared they were no longer in the education system. It is an ultimately destructive approach in contradiction with natural law.

Now the concept of ‘no failures’ has graduated to politics and is being imposed on society and business. It is a threat to the US maintaining and furthering its achievements. Instead of striving toward the highest standard the objective and the result becomes a decline to the lowest standard. Of course, there is a benefit for a government seeking control of society. People who have failed become dependent on the government. Those who succeed are reduced in numbers and marginalized. This group creates progress but pose a threat as the most likely to challenge the government.

Failure is normal and essential. The adage that man learns little from success but much from failure can’t work if you prevent or ignore failure. Rewarding failure also belittles success. Why obey the speed limit if others speed with impunity? Why work for reward when others get the rewards without working? If you also punish success then the process is even more debilitating.

Experience

Although a university professor, I knew education is a continuum and involved myself in the entire education process throughout my career. I served on and was President of a K --12 teachers organization eventually being honored with a lifetime membership. I counseled hundreds of students over the years and continue even now. I still give presentations in schools whenever possible. I gave the keynote address for the first Canadian Conference on Agriculture in the Classroom in 1982 and remained involved until recently. I was also active with 4H, a parallel but valuable life skills educator outside of the formal education system.

I watched more and more students come into university simply unprepared. A measure of the problems was the proliferation of remedial skills courses and probationary courses required before assigning regular student status in colleges and universities.

Employers increasingly complained about poor skills among graduating students. (Here and here.)

Approximately 10 emails a month from students doing classroom projects provide me with a crude measure of poor language skills.

Not allowing failure became a prevailing philosophy in our schools several years ago. Judi McLeod, editor of CFP, told me about covering the North York Board of Education as Education reporter for the Toronto Sun when they “came up with something they called “fail proof” education.” There are countless examples of this trend and its impact.

There are almost as many reasons given for the introduction of the idea.

Although they come from different sources they are all generally based on liberal philosophy that favors full individual liberty in social and political reform. The actual result is enslavement of the individual.

They ignore the fact you learn self-discipline by initially being disciplined. As you demonstrate a personal responsibility you are given more self-discipline. It is naïve and dangerous to assume children will develop self-discipline on their own. It is dangerous for the child and for society.

Two incidents focused the issue of failure for me. A student was struggling with my course in introductory climate. I provided additional help; the student worked hard, but still did not pass the course. In subsequent discussion with the student it was clear not passing the course was extended to being a failure. I explained that all it meant was the student was not going to have a career in climate science. The student would have other talents that the education system had not or more likely was not capable or interested in identifying. As Robert Schuller explained, ”Failure doesn’t mean you are a failure… it just means you haven’t succeeded yet.” Or, as Thomas Edison, the great inventor and innovator said, ”I have not failed.  I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” This underlines my view that the education system assumes that every child going into kindergarten will end up in university. This automatically makes failures out of those who don’t get there. A commentator on CNN recently confirmed this thinking with the remark that the unemployment problem was exacerbated because 70 percent of US citizens didn’t have college education. Nor have 99 percent of the people throughout history, but it didn’t stop progress.

A second incident involved a debate with a liberal education professor about the need for school leaving exams. It occurred in front of High School students and teachers. He opposed them with the usual arguments; teachers simply taught to the exams; they created stress for the students; they create a two-tiered society of successes and failures. In response I said; at least the teachers were teaching to some standard; yes, the tests were stressful but life is stressful and preparing students for life is fundamental; the results created a two-tiered society because the testing was usually geared to college entrance rather than a broad determination of abilities; the system usually ignored how the measures were helpful to students as a measure of their abilities with other students beyond their school.

I was jeered and booed most of the time until, to a mighty cheer, a student said he opposed testing of any kind. I suggested the student better hope the pilot of the next commercial flight he took had achieved some level of performance in his flying tests. Afterward many teachers said they supported the testing position, but were afraid to express it openly. In the parking lot a student told me she had lost a year due to illness so her friends were already in university and discovering how ill-prepared they were. They wished they had a measure of their abilities outside those their school established.

I realize situations vary from country to country, but the more I research the more it is clear that similar practices and problems are reported. Ironically socialist governments, such as that of Prime Minister Brown in Britain, think more money is the answer. It isn’t because they have increased spending significantly while results deteriorate.

Contradictions

Why do many who accept Darwin’s evolutionary theory, which requires success or survival of the fittest, oppose the equally necessary identification of failures? It appears in line with rejection of the idea that humans are the most successful species in the struggle for survival. Darwin only seems applicable when it fits the political ideology.

There is an interest in failure that seems more than esoteric typified by a magazine self-described as follows; Failure magazine is the online publication full of humankind’s boldest missteps.

Reward failure and you remove incentive to improve. You institutionalize and guarantee failure

It seems to underline the idea that at a certain level failure becomes a form of success. For example, the Edsel is better remembered than most of Ford’s successful vehicles. However, the real function of failure is to identify what is not working or is misplaced in any segment of society starting with the individual. Problems are only problems if you are not aware of them. Failure helps define the problems after which you are more likely to find the road to success. Reward failure and you remove incentive to improve. You institutionalize and guarantee failure. It is one undercurrent of Obama’s actions with longer more troublesome implications for the US to recover from his disastrous economic policies.

With All Things, Facts & Truth Matter
 By Frank Salvato

“Among the calamities of war may be jointly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interest dictates and credulity encourages.” – Samuel Johnson

Few things are more important in life than the facts and the truth. Ironically, the quest for both has waned over generations. Today, fact and truth suffer the narcissism of a generation of self-indulgent ideologues who have sought to shape the world to their belief system, doing so armed with little more than falsely elevated self-esteem. The result has been to bring our great nation to a divide not seen since the US Civil War; a divide of politics, ideology and culture; a divide that threatens our Republic’s very existence.

It's coming people, can't you just feel it in the air? The giant is awakening and it ain't going to be pretty. It's time to start holding the MSM accountable for their actions now. Start calling, asking why they aren't reporting the real news, etc. If they think that they have pink slips heading their way, things will change. If it comes to their livelihoods or their pathetic love fest with Obama, which do you think that they will choose in the end? It's time to start calling out the corruption in the Obama administration and congress. It's not just about money any more. It's about our futures, the futures of generations to come. It only takes one card being pulled out from the house of cards that Obama has built and he's done! He has too many people involved in his corruption, eventually someone is going to start singing to save themselves. They all can't be Pelosi and just dismiss past statements, etc. And the American people are tired of the excuses. No more blaming everything on Bush, our current situation is all on Obama and we need to start telling him so! The other shoe is going to drop and soon, very soon.

NO to sitting in a waiting room for nine hours, while waiting behind fifty Mexicans who should not be here (let alone draining our social services), in the first place! NO to having to see some Punjab who can't speak English, will glance at you for five minutes, let you smell his foul breath, and then will milk our government via fraud.

In the meantime, Scribbler, we need a true conservative nationalist movement to arise and counter the socialist-globalist-environmentalist blight that is well organized. We need good orators and even better debaters. We need educated teachers and professors of like mind to usurp the indoctrination centers (i.e. schools and universities), so as to bring the youth into our fold. We need to have effective advertising and information dispensation to overcome the propaganda of the left that how so infested this nation. We need to do away with the old and bring in the new--what shall we call this new movement? The Right | 06.12.09 - 9:59 am | #

Bravo! The Right, you're right (haha). In a public hospital here in Austria, well, people laugh and mock the US ERs, but you don't want to sit in the waiting room of the biggest hospital here in Austria, the AKH. You wait... ages. Years ago I was waiting for a simple x-ray in the SMZ East (second largest public hospital in Vienna, and pretty much around the corner). It was a small x-ray of my right ankle. Nothing spectacular. I waited over three hours, while barely anyone was there. There were 5 or 6 people waiting (from the looks none had anything major to x-ray.) But... pick a number, wait. And wait a bit longer. Then some guys rolled a man on a stretcher into the waiting room, a patient from one of the wards, handed the files in and left him there. Hooray. Andreas K. | 06.12.09 - 10:03 am | #

The problem is that more than half the country pays zero or less then zero in taxes (they receive "tax credits" even after paying a zero tax rate.) More than half the country is functionally illiterate in English, and completely ignorant of the facts of economics, commerce, and mathematics. Such a population gave us Barack Obama, an utterly unqualified President. They will gladly support the leader's "FREE" healthcare, because they are not capable of understanding the broad implications. Go to the fast-food joints in your town and ask anyone who works there to explain a simple supply curve to you. Half can't read English, the other half can't understand. That's Obama's voting base! Now there are 10's of millions of them who vote Democrat on command. Show me a farmer who tries to reason with a plague of locusts, and I'll show you an educated Conservative trying to explain the logic of demand-driven, private healthcare over command, statist, communal healthcare to an "undocumented worker" or a half-witted Junior College 3rd year Freshman who waits tables at Chili's.

Yes, Sachsen, therein lies the problem: Liberalism is far more persuasive to our ignorant, indolent masses, for it does not require thinking of the issues at hand and tickles one's ears with pleasant notions such as "free healthcare, amnesty for all, free food, free housing," and so on. One must actually think as to what such programs entail and their effects, which is what the ignorant masses are incapable of doing. The Right | 06.12.09 - 11:18 am | #

It's too bad there weren't any smart people there. They would have realized that standing on street corners with signs - just like ACORN and CodePink - rarely has any effect. They would have realized that the truly effective way to oppose BHO would be for a smart person to engage him - or at least one of his proxies - in some form of impromptu public debate. For instance, by calling BHO or that proxy on their many lies right to their face, by pointing out the flaws in their policies, and so on. Video of that can then be uploaded to Youtube, where millions might see it. That would be the truly smart and effective thing to do. Why aren't your leaders suggesting that you do things that are smart and effective? Why are they only capable of stunts for radio stations? In case any smart people want to actually oppose BHO rather than just put on stunts, here's the plan: http://24ahead.com/s/question-authority 24AheadDotCom | Homepage | 06.12.09 - 11:36 am | #

YEs, let's keep health care the way it is. Expensive, beyond the reach of the poor. Hey, how's it going trying to pass pre-Algebra? Question? Is Medicaid free? Answer any way you wish. 85% of the country has health insurance and thus, immediate access to the benefits of modern medicine which on an almost daily basis becomes faster, better, cheaper, and more effective. The post office is decades behind the world of technology, business concepts, customer service, and productivity. If the government had always run healthcare, American life expectancy would still be 58. Dentists would simply pull a tooth, rather than rebuild it with a root canal. Orthopaedists would simply give a person with a bad hip a wheelchair, rather than a titanium alloy replacement joint. If that's what you want, go live in Cuba. The Elector of Saxony | 06.12.09 - 12:10 pm | #

Why are right wingers so scared, so full of hate, so greedy, so stupid, so wrong? Is it genetic or something learned from their scare, hateful, greedy, stupid, wrong parents? Either way, it doesn't matter. The same 29% that thought Bush did a great job are the ones who don't want health care for all Americans, and those 29% simply don't count, no matter how much they screech and whine and complain. Thank god. George | 06.12.09 - 12:23 pm | #

Congress does listen to you, but you have to let them know by mailing letters, e-mails or more importantly, calling their office in Washington DC. They all have phone lines and you can leave messages. They only care about getting re-elected so if you don't want national healthcare let them know and fast. Susan | 06.12.09 - 12:26 pm | #

Americans will open their eyes and see the failure of the socialized systems in place in Canada, UK and even New Zealand. Yes, don't forget NZ. My brother-in-law died too young with young children and it was a procedure done here in the US without incident. Why did he die? For all the reasons you've heard: ---no check-ups to monitor his condition, ---when finally caught, surgery was scheduled months away, ---the heart at that point was too weak to survive surgery, and ---life support that he was given in hopes to allow his heart to gain strengh was removed after a few days to be given to another patient who needed it. Completely needless death. But this is what you get. No, we don't live in fear. We live with the truth. That is what this administration fears. That we, the people, will know the truth and not buy his lies any longer. Anonymous | 06.12.09 - 12:39 pm | #

The right wing wackos are so outraged that health care for all Americans is proposed. Where were they when we were bombing the hell out of Iraq, and then spending hundreds of billions to rebuild their schools and hospitals? They were cowering under their beds, hoping that they wouldn't have to fight in the war they demanded. Yeah, how awful that Obama wants every American to have health care. But how great that America had to pay for a war that was unnecessary and hurt us more then it helped. You wackos need to reset your priorities, and think for yourself. Think you can handle that?

Chisum, from your link, "For a plurality of Democrats (39%), health care reform is the president’s top priority, a view shared by only 14% of GOP voters and 16% of unaffiliateds." 39 + 14 + 16 = 69% I said 29%, it's really 31% (100-69=31). Close enough, don't you think to show the impotence of the scared and stupid? No gratuitous slap at Bush, it is an outright and warranted slap. But even you would have to agree that the same morons who supported Bush the most are the same morons who now hate Obama, no matter what he does. The same morons who don't want health care for every American. The same morons who demanded war in Iraq, didn't even know Bush kept it off the books, and now that it is included, don't understand why our budget is so high. george | 06.12.09 - 1:00 pm | #

Chisum, apparently, you are the wacko. Your link only briefly mentions health care as a standalone issue, and it proves I was originally correct. Americans made their priorities clear when they elected Obama, who promised universal health care. Votes count, polls and pathetic protests against health care don't. Don't forget, the GOP lost for a reason, and it's because people simply got tired of being scared all the time. You'll have to wait a few more years before those scare tactics work again.

George is not in the Medical Profession.I would suggest you review mandated surgery costs by Universal Health care coverage;vs.The costs of p rivate practice and the schooling it requires to become a doctor. mike191 | 06.12.09 - 1:03 pm | #

SUCH FEAR! Check out the title of this blog - "dear leader". Right wing wackos use the word 'Messiah' every chance they get. Why do they do that, when no dem calls Obama that, no dem even thinks that. So, why? Because right wing con leaders know that right wing con followers are scared and stupid and will do as they are told. What did dems call Bush? Moron. Thief. Coward. Braggart. War monger. Clear and simple, yo ucould agree or not. But to pretend that anyone thinks that Obama is the messiah only plays to the fears of the right wing con coward morons. Is that right? george | 06.12.09 - 1:07 pm | #

Priorities George? "Nearly half of Republicans (46%) and a plurality of voters not affiliated with either major party (39%) say cutting the deficit in half over the next four years is the most important of Obama’s priorities, but just 24% of Democrats agree. For a plurality of Democrats (39%), health care reform is the president’s top priority, a view shared by only 14% of GOP voters and 16% of unaffiliateds. In fact, for Republicans and unaffiliated voters, health care reform now ranks roughly equal with energy development and education as a priority. The majority of Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliated voters agree that cutting the deficit is the goal the president is least likely to achieve. Doubts among Democrats and unaffiliateds have grown since March. Yeppers, look at all those independent wackos! . Chisum | 06.12.09 - 1:09 pm | #

Mike, why do you assume I'm not in the medical profession? Why do you think that you know better than anyone else? And why do you think that we don't already have a kind of universal health care in medicare and medicaid? Because you are one of the right wing con followers. I say every American ought to have decent health care. You and the moron protestors shown above say 'no'. You don't provide an alternative, you don't acknowledge how the system doesn't work, you don't agree that we have a serious problem that winds up costing us more than a real solution. So you say 'NO'. Aren't you ashamed? George | 06.12.09 - 1:11 pm | #

Read much Chisum? Stop confusing the issue. Your link shows that given a choice, the deficit is more important. But on it's own, 69% have it as a TOP priority. 31% don't. Face facts, and admit that you hate Americans so much that you don't want them to have health care. It's ok, it's long been known that cons hate America, even if Sean Hannity greets his moron callers with 'You're a GREAT AMERICAN!'. Saying it doesn't make it true. George | 06.12.09 - 1:15 pm | #

What alternative is to provided, George, it is you who have the flawed ad primi premice. For indeed, healthcare is not a "right." It was something never to be granted by the government, in the first place. So what is your option? Oh, to allow a government who can't even run the Post Office now run our healthcare, when they have bankrupt their already smaller version (less inclusive such as Medicare, etc) of healthcare. I should have to labor for that poor minority who sat on her fat arse, watched her flat-screen tv in her title 8 housing and waited for her welfare check to arrive? I should pay for that Mexican who cares not as to my country's sovereignty or laws, except when your elk can contrive laws binding to him? NO! Furthermore, the cost of the care has a lot to do with your leftist seister lawyers running their endless lawsuits for people who (for the most part) want something for nothing. Therein is the cruz of your liberalism and entitlement mentallity--GETTING SOMETHING FOR NOTHING! But, George, nothing is trully free, if one does not pay with money; one shall pay with his time and/or quality of services. The Right | 06.12.09 - 1:18 pm | #

George, Wow, lies, sweeping generalizations, assumptions. I guess you are the only one allowed to make assumptions. You are a walking talking points poster boy. Love the way you try to change the subject by bringing up the 'messiah' issue. You may wish to check out the words of that well-know right wing wacko, Louis Farrakhan. Also, instead of whining about the link I provided, why not produce one of your own. , Chisum | 06.12.09 - 1:21 pm | #

It is your kind, George, that wants to lessen our sovereignty in the notion of joining the world in some benevolent fuutre one-world government. It is your kind that hates America, for it is your kind that is trying to change us into a version of Europe. Surely if you loved America, you would need see a need to radically change it. I do not like the cost of healthcare, but unlike your naive ass, I know that our Dear Leader and his big government is not going to be able to aptly attend to it. The Right | 06.12.09 - 1:21 pm | #
