Frosting the Left, Betraying the Right

I want to open with kudos for Glenn Beck, whose newest flash-point book, "Common Sense" is set to be No. 1 on the New York Times and USA Today Bestseller lists, which has to really hack the NYT off. I'm almost finished reading my copy, and I'll probably wind up buying more to pass around. It is the wakeup call for America, perhaps one of the few we have left. This inexpensive book should be given to every high school and college graduate, and every citizen should read it. Get it, read it, act on it. Now! Go!

Unfortunately, now I have to kill that buzz by noting with regret the debacle surrounding South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford's bizarre admission of an adulterous affair with an Argentinian woman. His early claim is that it only recently became a physicial relationship, but that he and his wife (who has known about it for several months) are at least trying to reconcile. Amid a spate of Republican embarrassments in the last couple of years, at least this time it's a woman.

Enemies? What enemies? Last Wednesday on The O'Reilly Factor, Barney Frank told Bill that he wants to take money from F-22 procurement because "we don't need them anymore," indicating that we no longer face a Soviet air threat. Guess again; both the Russians and Chinese are developing fighters with F-22 capabilities, and they intend to market them to our potential adversaries (which are increasing almost weekly). Just a reminder; our enemies never sleep, and they do not wish us well.

Shut up! A report that the EPA suppressed findings that questioned the science behind global warming hype. When EPA analyst Alan Carlin tried to tell the White House that there was a problem with the data, and that it looks like the earth has actually been in a cooling trend for the past 11 years, his supervisor, Al McGartland, refused to forward Carlin's report, reassigned him, stating, "The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward on endangerment, and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision," he wrote, according to the e-mails released by CEI. "I can only see one impact of your comments given where we are in the process, and that would be a very negative impact on our office." He later wrote an e-mail urging Carlin to "move on to other issues and subjects." "I don't want you to spend any additional EPA time on climate change. No papers, no research, etc., at least until we see what EPA is going to do with climate," McGartland wrote.

I don't know about you, but I see this as further proof that this malAdministration is out to silence any opposition to its agenda, which is not based on what's best for the country.

Crap N' Trade. If you weren't like most Americans who were obsessed with Michael Jackson's death, you might be aware that Friday marked the cardiac arrest of the US economy, when the congress passed (in the middle of the night, which seems to be their current modus operandi) the president's climate control bill, alternatively referred to as "cap and trade". It's major effect will most likely be to dry up productivity, destroy initiative and cripple the American family with debt even for the basics of life, including energy, food, and transportation.

The sneakiness carries over to the proposed healthcare blunderbuss bill, which Mad Madam Pelosi and Hapless Harry Reid want to exclude from public scrutiny.

Rad rant. We are rapidly being taken over by a rogue government with utter contempt for the rule of law. There does not seem to be a legal mechanism in place to deal with this threat to our form of government, our economy and our very lives. Oh, certainly, there are laws on the books to deal with the various crimes of malfeasance and suborning of our laws and institutions we're witnessing almost daily, but the enemy isn't just within the gates, it controls the gates, the schools, most of the courts, the media, the FBI, IRS, CIA, NSA, the Fed and even the National Parks Service (which could be used to influence or 'subtract' history in the future). The larger bloc of the public which does not have access to, or interest in, conservative news sources will never hear the whole truth; nor will young people in the future indoctrinated in public schools learn of our actual history or have the knowledge to understand what they've lost.

Who in the FBI will be able to investigate and get a warrant against their own bosses? Who in the courts would swear out a warrant against the President for subversion when the Congress is ruled by his accomplices? How do we vote them out when they are working overtime behind the scenes to fix future elections by gerrymandering and enticing dependent classes as a perpetual voting bloc? Does anyone realize what alternative remains?

If you think this stuff is fun for me, you're totally wrong. I actually try to look for good news. Even the people who are as doubtful as I am don't seem to see this far ahead. Right now, we are moving toward socialist/facist statism. However, human nature being what it is, that condition will eventually degrade into an absolute, totalitarian, Nazi nightmare, because unrestrained power yearns to be unlimited power.

If we don't change things - with God's help - the nightmare hasn't even begun yet.

Time Out for Bullies

To kick this edition off, check out this interview Glenn Beck conducted with the Connecticut Attorney General who went after the AIG bonuses using the blunt instrument of government intimidation (what we commoners refer to as "extortion"). The AG could cite no actual law for causing severe emotional and economic distress to employees who actually did honest work. This is a study in what a bully looks like when he gets cornered.

Here is some late-breaking news: The chief of the Pakistani Taliban, Baitullah Mehsud, has issued a threat to "amaze everyone in the world" by attacking Washington, D.C., possibly even striking directly at the White House. Mehsud is no lightweight to dismiss out of hand; he is considered to be behind the attack that killed Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in 2007, and may have been involved with a cell of terrorists arrested in Barcelona last year. And let's not forget that Osama bin Laden was dismissed as a serious threat by the Clinton administration.

In his headlong rush to completely deconstruct the United States and everything it used to stand for, President Obama's latest move is to pack the White House with Muslims. No doubt I'll be labeled a "hatemonger" for saying this, but if I recall, Obama affirmed his Christian faith during the campaign (of course, he's done a lot of flip-flops since then). I find it less than faithful to Christianity and to this country to actively solicit members of a religion that declares its intent to conquer the world by guile or force, and to subjugate all nonbelievers (and their own women) to virtual slavery. It really should be a crime that politicians are not held to account for violating the oath they take, to defend and protect the Constitution against all foes, foreign and domestic. I would have no strong objection to hiring a Muslim if that person is committed to the founding principles of this nation and is qualified for the job, but considering his hiring record thus far (remember "no lobbyists in my administration" and promise to have the "most ethical' and "most transparent" presidency?), I have to wonder how thorough his vetting process will be. Keep in mind that the Muslim American Society is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, which once put forth in a leadership memo a description of its work as a kind of 'internal jihad' to be used for sabotaging Western civilization from within.

If you think I'm a downer, consider this report about a deep-Earth gas deposit that may have the potential to destroy much or most of the country in a huge fiery blast. The gist of it is that there is the world's largest reserve of natural gas deep below the surface of North America in varous interconnected pockets. The volatile gas seeps through rock layers, connecting many if not all of the humongous deposits of underground explosive gas. What makes it such a threat is that numerous openings in the earth such as dry drilling holes, caves, fissures, etc. allow oxygen-rich air to flow downward, mixing with the gas. At the same time oil and gas companies are taking oil and gas out of the ground, they must pump water underground to fill the void and to pressurize the gas to make it flow upward (since it's heavier than air). If they ever stop pumping water, the outward pressure would stop and any spark could theoretically begin an explosive chain reaction throughout the entire reserve. I haven't yet been able to confirm it because no one but some fringe blogs (like mine?) seem to be reporting it. However, what they present is impressive -- at least to the unscientific like me -- and looks very credible. And very, very scary to consider. Just one more great reason to get right with God and live in knowledge and faith rather than in fear. It's also another really good reason to pump as much gas out of the ground as possible.

Fortunately, I have a friend who is a lot smarter than me, and acts as sort of a balance beam for me and my departures from reality. After contacting him about this potential megabomb, he sent me a link to a somewhat technical site which he assures me explains how it can't happen. One side of my brain says, "I feel better now," but the other side keeps nagging me about the global warming scientists who warn us about the threat to the Earth from cow flatulence and the food scientists who would have us eating tofu and tree bark. Take both sides for what they're worth. I'm not going to be overly obsessed with it, but it is fascinating.

On the road to world socialism: Harold Koh is Obama's top pick for the State Department's legal advisor. Unfortunately, Koh is the farthest thing from a constitutionalist, preferring instead to rely on international law instead of our national sovereignty. For example, Koh believes that Islamic Sharia law could apply to certain US court disputes, and considers the US as part of an "axis of disobedience", comparing us with rogue nations like North Korea. And here I was, thinking that US officials should be working in the best interests of our country. Silly me. Koh could be a real threat to America because he would be instrumental in the forging of international policies, treaties and agreements. Actually, he seems to favor any form of government except the one that enabled his success in life. I wonder if anyone ever told him to be careful what he wishes for.

One more reason to worry when lawyers are in charge: it appears that some of the much-anticipated "Tea Parties" are running into problems from city officials around the country. The tactic is to simply deny permits for demonstrations on the grounds of lack of police overtime, toilet facilities, crowd control, cleanup crews, etc. The aim appears to be hampering citizens who are protesting the theft of their government; so I guess it's only natural that the hampering is being done by government officials of the party in power, and they learned their tactics when it was them in the streets. Damn that pesky First Amendment thing! I could be wrong, but I can't recall that many times the lefties' protests were stopped by bureaucracy...and maybe that's partly why we are where we are. It really sucks when the rules apply only to one side (Hmmm...I think they call that tyranny).

Congratulations are in order for Hillary Clinton! She's just received the Margaret Sanger Award. It must be the thrill of a lifetime to be honored for "leadership, excellence, and outstanding contributions to the reproductive health and rights movement." I mean, who wouldn't want an award named after the founder of Planned Parenthood -- a model citizen who happened to be a fan of Adolf Hitler's "population control" methods, considered the lower classes of society and any non-white race as "human weeds", and started a billion-dollar industry in which the major product are tens of millions of tiny diced human cadavers? Rock on, Hill...you deserve it.

If you aren't completely flabbergasted by now; wait, there's more. King Barack and the Environuts are about to levy the ultimate destructive tax, known as 'Cap and Trade. At its core, it's a tax on carbon dioxide; you know, the stuff you exhale and that plants require to stay alive. But thanks to the Big Lie technique, billions of people have been brainwashed (although that would require a brain to begin with) to believe the earth -- which is not alive -- will die if people -- whom the econuts want to kill off -- insist on living outside of caves, and to have a civilized life instead of munching on grass and carcasses. This lie has been used to hobble industry, scare children and make otherwise sane people behave like robotic morons. The worst is yet to come, when businesses get charged extortionary rates simply to exist, and they will pass on the price increases to the consumer (uh,...you and me). Current projections estimate a government take of $1.3 to $1.9 trillion. Now, I absolutely suck at math, but I think the 2008 GDP was about $1.4 trillion (no doubt, I'll hear how wrong I am on that figure). And because Cap and Trade is nothing more than a trading system for 'carbon credits', the only people who win are the big investors, like Al Gore and George Soros.

On the end note, some encouraging news. One man from Massachusetts with the ironic name Christ Otto, wrote to his email buddies with the suggestion that they contact everyone on their email lists and suggest that each person should mail an empty red envelope to the White House, with the following message written on the outside: "This envelope represents one child who died in abortion. It is empty because that life was unable to offer anything to the world. Responsibility begins with conception." So far, "The Red Envelope Project" has delivered more than one million red envelopes to the White House mail room, and it appears at least some folks are noticing. This is a good reminder that it is the individual in America who wields power, but when those individuals work together, amazing things can happen. Stay tuned.
