With a black man running as president, there was the opportunity to persuade a great number of white Americans to vote for Obama because of the so called “white guilt”. There was also the guarantee of the black vote, after all it has been shown that a lot of blacks voted for Obama based strictly on race, General Powell comes to mind. Then there is the all present “race card”. It was a silent weapon during both the primary against Hillary, however I feel she expected it and later during the campaign. McCain, though I feel ran a very weak campaign, stayed away from various subjects for fear of being called a racist. The subject of Rev. Wright, and of course Obama’s association with ACORN, a primarily black organization. While during the campaign Obama denied any current ties with ACORN. However as reported by Larry Johnson, who broke a story on October 14, 2007, about the Obama Campaign’s mysterious payment of more than $800,000 to Citizen Services Inc. The payments ostensibly were for “STAGING, SOUND, and LIGHTING.” A reporter for the Pittsburgh Tribune, David Brown, agreed to look into the matter and was told by the Obama campaign: U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for services the Democrat’s campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports. An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. — a subsidiary of ACORN — worked in “get-out-the-vote” projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary. But that is a lie. Citizen Services passed the money to ACORN. Mr. Johnson knew this because the head of Citizen Services told him so. Mr. Johnson reported in a previous report: “Thanks to the internet I finally tracked him down in Minnesota and gave him a call. Mr. Alabi answered the phone and I introduced myself using my real name. But I did tell a white lie–I said I got his name and number from Bob Shrum at the Democratic National Committee. He hesitated. When I repeated that I got his name and number from the DNC he brightened up and became quite chatty. Using the Obama FEC filing as my guide I told Mr. Alabi that I needed to hire Citizen Services to help my campaign with “Staging, Sound, and Lighting.” Without a moments hesitation Mr. Alabi told me, “we don’t do that.” He went on to identify ACORN as the organization that handles those matters and he told me to contact Marc Seiden (he gave me a cell phone number for Mr. Seiden, which is a District of Columbia cell phone).” (As I mentioned earlier, the subject of ACORN is for another post.) With this information being available, McCain did not use it, why, best guess, for fear of being called a racist. The threat of the race card loomed silently over the campaign, to only be brought to light ever so slightly.

I can only imagine the joy that was felt by The Shadow Party and various organizations when Obama was elected to the presidency. They knew that the social change for America could now begin. However, they underestimated the American people’s love of freedom. After the “Stimulus” Bill was passed, and the deficit started growing, the TEA movement began, like any great movement, slowly at first, then with the April 15^th rallies, the press took notice. The left began slowly at first, playing the race card. Some was saying that members of the TEA party movement were “Redneck racists”, protesting because there was a black man in the White House. The race card was continually played, with no respect that people just plain disagreed with the policies of the Democrats, it was because of Obama. When the HealthCare bill was proposed and the following TEA Parties and Town Hall meetings, the race card was played more and more by just about everyone on the left. Then, during Obama’s speech, when Rep. Wilson yelled out, “You lie”, the full force of the race card was put into play, just like the ace in the hole in a high stakes poker game. The cries of racism started coming from all sources on the left: from a former President to a respected actor. Charges of racism came from the Speaker of the House to news anchors. Add to this, the investigation of ACORN and the possible de-funding of the organization by the congress, the climate is rite for something to happen.

The Speaker of House recently held a press conference where she cried “crocodile tears” while talking about the violence in San Francisco during the 70’s. I recently heard, Michael Savage ask, “Does she know something.” Is there a plan in the works for violence? If there is, who will be blamed? Will it be those who are talking out against the various social programs, not because America doesn’t want them, but because they are racist? As the furor is being stirred up using the race card, is it possible that there is something lurking in the background. Just why would the left continue to provoke violence, is it because there are powerful forces in the background have plans to totally destroy America. What better way to destroy a country as great as America then to have us fighting among ourselves. White against Black, Conservatives against Liberals, sounds like a new Civil War. What if this, like all things, pass and the socialist agenda is slowed down or defeated? The seed has been sown, that the reason for the failure is that the majority of Americans are racists. IF the planned agenda can not be passed, will this make Obama expendable? What better way to throw a country into turmoil, then to disable or remove the leader. I realize that this sounds completely crazy, but then, what better way is there? It will automatically be assumed that it was someone on the conservative side, after the conservatives have been branded as racist, just because we do not agree with the President. Why couldn’t they “plant” various TEA party items? Who would believe it wasn’t someone from the TEA Party movement? Look at the controversy that still exists about the Kennedy or Martin Luther King’s assignation. Congress and others have all ready laid the ground work with their racist rhetoric. Even though the Constitution has the procedure for the orderly transfer of power, there will still be chaos, and possibility a civil/race war. Just how long would it take for group that had the resources to remove the President and place the blame on someone or some group to come in and, “bring” peace and re establish America in their image, not as the great country that most of us love, but as a socialist country ruled by an elite.

I pray that this NEVER happens. However, with the race card being constantly played it could. With thee constant drumbeat about racism from congress and others are they intentionally trying to provoke violence? Just because someone doesn’t agree with the President or congress actions, we are not racist and do not want something to happen to the President. IF violence does erupt and something happens to the President, Congress, the press and others do not need to yell for or hold investigations and hearings. All they will just need to do is to look in the nearest mirror. Or is the plan?

Dear Mr. President, Members of Congress and the American People:

Today is the 8th anniversary of the greatest lost of life on American soil since the Civil War. Today is a Day Of Remembrance, not a day of service. There will be tributes to those who have died on that sunny Tuesday morning, as there should be. These citizens died, not because they wore the uniform of our great country, but because they were citizens of the greatest country in the world. Something Mr. President, you, a number of the members of congress and some of the so called “Americans” have forgotten.

Mr. President, you have toured the world, claiming that America is arrogant, self centered, and as your wife has fondly said, “America is just downright mean.” There have been a number of great things this country has done for the world, yet in your mind and by your actions, you have not emphasized these great things. Well, Mr. President, I am not a professional writer. I am just an old Marine Vet, that defended this country because I believed (and still do) in the greatest of this country. I swore to defend the Constitution, something you seem to want to shed and disregard. Well, Mr. President, I would like to remind you of the greatness of America. In order to do this, I am going to use the words of Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian, who in 1973, expressed the greatest of America.

“The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French, and British exchanges
this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by
41% since 1971, and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the
most generous, and possibly the least appreciated, people in all the earth.

As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the
Yellow River and the Yangtze. Well who rushed in with men and money to help? The
Americans did, that's who.

They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges, and the Niger. Today,
the rich bottom land of the Mississippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to
help. Germany, Japan, and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris
of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts.
None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United
States.

When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up,
and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. And I was there I
saw that. When distant cities are hit by earthquake, it is the United States that hurries into
help, Managua, Nicaragua, is one of the most recent examples.

So far this spring, fifty nine American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.

The Marshall Plan, the Truman Policy, all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into
discouraged countries. And now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the
decadent, warmongering Americans.

Now, I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United
States dollar build its own airplanes.

Come on now, you, let's hear it! Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal
the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tristar, or the Douglas 10? If so, why don't they fly
them? Why do all international lines except Russia fly American planes? Why does no other
land on earth even consider putting a man or a woman on the moon?
You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy
and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the
moon, not once, but several times, and, safely home again. You talk about scandals and the
Americans put theirs right in the store window for everyone to look at. Even the draft dodgers
are not pursued and hounded. They're right here on our streets in Toronto. Most of them,
unless they're breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home
to spend up here.

When the Americans get out of this bind as they will who could blame them if they said
"the hell with the rest of the world." Let somebody else buy the bonds. Let somebody else
build or repair foreign dams, or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart in
earthquakes." When the railways of France, and Germany, and India were breaking down
through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the
New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both of 'em are still broke.

I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in
trouble. Can you name to me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in
trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.

Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I am one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing
them kicked around. They'll come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do,
they're entitled to thumb their noses at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of these. But there are many smug, self righteous Canadians.

And finally, the American Red Cross was told at its 48th Annual meeting in New Orleans this
morning that it was broke. This year's disasters with the year less than half over has taken it all. And nobody, but nobody, has helped.”

Yes Mr. President, whether you like or not, agree with it or not, America is a great and generous country and through you may try to destroy it with your socialist agenda, we Americans will not forget. Through you may try to make 9-11, “a day of service” , We, THE PEOPLE, will always remember that America was attacked and 3000 people were murdered, not died, but were MURDERED for nothing more then being hard working Americans.

God Bless Those who lost their lives and their famlies on September 11, 2001

A couple of weeks ago, Glen Beck ( http://www.glennbeck.com/index.php ) devoted part of his show to the Apollo Alliance (AA) and its connection to the writing of the Porkulus Bill. Later, Glenn went into depth on the one of the members of the AA, who was actually a co-founder of Apollo Alliance was Van Jones, a self proclaimed "communist" and "revolutionary" who served on the AA board of directors for several years ( http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/ ) and is now the Green Jobs Czar in the Obama administration or whatever want to call him, frankly I don’t care what his title is along as you call him GONE. Since Glenn began his expose’ of Van Jones others have gotten on the bandwagon, Sean Hannity ( http://www.hannity.com/ ) in particularly, who seemed a little late and a dollar short on this one. So be it, I am not going to talk about Van Jones, everybody seems to have covered him, but not mush has been said about the Apollo Alliance.

The Apollo Alliance is a project of the TidesCenter. AA claims to have been “launched in the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy to catalyze a clean energy revolution in America.” (http://apolloalliance.org/ )  AA then says that in late 2007 it “spun off from its founding organizations, Campaign for America’s Future and Center for Wisconsin Strategy, and formed its own Board of Directors. Besides Van Jones, other luminaries such as: Gerald Hudson, International Executive Vice President of the SEIU; environmentalist Carl Pope; Joel Rogers, a founder of the Marxist political coalition known as the New Party; John Podesta, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress; Robert Borosage, co-founder of both the Institute for America’s Future and Campaign for America's Future; actor and environmentalist Robert Redford; former Bill Clinton administration officials Kathleen McGinty and Dan Reicher; and key figures from the Natural Resources Defense Council, the United Steelworkers Union, and the Laborers’ International Union of North America. It also expanded its staff and program to better meet the critical challenge of “promoting clean energy and good jobs.” A director of New York State’s chapter of Apollo Alliance is Jeff Jones (no relation to Van Jones). Jeff Jones is described on the AA website as someone devoted to “cleaning up toxic pollution in inner-city and rural neighborhoods (does this sound familiar, like some of the past statements of Van Jones) and reversing global warming.” However, the website does not mention that in the 1970s Jones was one of the four key leaders of the Weather Underground terrorist organization, along with Mark Rudd, Bill Ayers, and Bernardine Dohrn. It seems amazing that Obama, dismissed connections to Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn during the campaign. However, at the same time Van Jones, who is one of his advisors, just happens to be associated with a person that was a leader of the same terrorist organization.

AA’s unique role in the climate debate is supposed to be their ability to mobilize a coalition unprecedented in its strength and diversity by speaking directly to the economic benefits of moving toward a clean energy economy. In 2008, as the economy and energy rose to top Americans’ concerns, AA released The New Apollo Program, an update of their original Ten-Point Plan that was developed for the 2004 elections. This “plan” identified priorities for federal action and investment, including a “cap and invest” program (I prefer calling it Crap and Tax, currently pending in the Senate), to reduce carbon emissions; investments in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and mass transit; a plan to revitalize the manufacturing sector; and specific strategies to expand opportunities for American workers in the clean energy economy. Can anyone imagine what would have happened in 2005, if John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, had been elected in 2004? If any one thinks that the financial crisis from last year was bad, it would have been a whole lot worst, in fact we may have devolved into the dark ages and surfing the web by candle light.

AA has exerted a powerful influence on the views and policies of the Obama administration, why not Van Jones is a chief advisor. AA also “helped” craft portions of the $787 billion “stimulus” legislation (Porkulus Bill) that was signed into law in early 2009. Specifically, AA had a hand in writing the “clean energy and green-collar jobs provisions” of the bill, for which $86 billion was earmarked. This included funds “to build new transit and high speed rail lines (Gee, I wonder what company will benefit from this), weatherize homes, develop next generation batteries for clean vehicles (what country will benefit from this, since the EPA has strict rules on the materials used in manufacturing), scale up wind and solar power (ask Slim Boone Pickens about the wind energy project or Dianne Feinstein, who said “ Don’t spoil our deserts with solar panels, Fox News online, Mar. 3, 2009) , build a modern electric grid or so – called “Smart Grid” at the cost of $11 billion (again I ask, what company this may benefit), and train a new generation of green-collar workers.”

Confirming the magnitude of AA's role in shaping (writing) the stimulus bill, Senate Majority Leader, The war is  lost, Harry Reid said, “The Apollo Alliance has been an important factor in helping us [the U.S. Senate] develop and execute a strategy that makes great progress on these goals and in motivating the public to support them.” In July 2009, Senator Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appointed AA Board Chair Phil Angelides, the former Treasurer of the State of California, to serve as chairman of the newly created Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.

Now, as with anything else, the Apollo Alliance does not exist in a vacuum it is associated and has a long list of radical endorsers, among which are: ACORN; Change to Win (an ACORN entity); the SEIU; the Van Jones-founded Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, which claims that the American criminal-justice system is infested with racism; Green For All (another organization founded by Van Jones); the Working Families Party; Greenpeace USA; the League of Conservation Voters; the Natural Resources Defense Council; the Rainforest Action Network; the Sierra Club; the Union of Concerned Scientists; Working Assets; EarthJustice; the National Wildlife Federation; the Progressive States Network; and a host of big labor unions (including the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, Teamsters, Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Electrical Workers, Sheet Metal Workers, Transportation Workers, United Auto Workers, Food and Commercial Workers, Mine Workers, and Steel Workers). Apollo Alliance has received funding directly from the Stephen M. Silberstein Foundation and the Robert & Patricia Switzer Foundation. In addition, AA has been the beneficiary of “grants” made to the Institute for America's Future that were earmarked specifically for AA; among these were grants from the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the Town Creek Foundation, the Overbrook Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Max and Anna Levinson Foundation, and the Energy Foundation.

As Glenn pointed out on his show, the Apollo Alliance is deeply in trenched in the Obama administration, particularly with Van Jones being an advisor. As many know, since the relationship between AA, White House and Van Jones was brought to light, a radical, web based organization,  Color of Change, current campaign is “ Stop Glenn Beck's race baiting….Fox's Glenn Beck recently said President Obama is "a racist" and has a "deep-seated hatred for white people." Beck is on a campaign to convince the American public that President Obama's agenda is about serving the needs of Black communities at White people's expense. It's repulsive, divisive and shouldn't be on the air.” However, a visit to the website, where the above quote is from, there is no mention of Van Jones as the founder of the site. Now, I have a couple questions for Mr. Jones and the White House. What’s wrong has Glenn gotten to close to the truth? Are you afraid that the American people will look behind the curtain? What is the legality of an advisor to the President of the United States, to use his website to attempt to destroy and American citizen’s right to speak out and earn a living? Is this not similar to the enemies’ list of the Nixon administration.

  The Shadow Menace (Part 2 – SEIU’s Andrew Stern)

Since I decided to begin this series of blogs, one of my favorite conservative talk show hosts, Glenn Beck, also began a series that may parallel my information, and he maybe more depth, so be it. I figure that the more information that is out there the better.

Part One was an overview of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the economic model championed by SEIU includes universal health care (Obamacare), increased taxation (Cap and Trade, increasing taxes on those making over $250,000 per year), an expansion of social welfare programs (repealing welfare and increasing unemployment benefits), and further opportunities for workers to unionize (card check). However, as with most unions, the SEIU is composed of hard working people, who just want to earn a living and not all of them are radical socialists. So where does this radical, socialist agenda come from? As with any large organizations, it comes from the top, and who is sitting at top controlling this radical agenda, Andrew Stern.

Andrew Stern is the son of a lawyer and was born November 22, 1950 in West Orange, New Jersey. He became a student leftist during the 1960s. He attended the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business college as a business major. In 1971, he graduated with a B.A. in education and urban planning. He then spent some time traveling in Europe. Upon his return from Europe, Stern attended the radical activist training camp, Midwest Academy (MA).MA is a training organization for a variety of leftist causes and organizations. It describes itself as "one of the nation's oldest and best known schools for community organizations, citizen organizations and individuals committed to progressive social change." It was founded in 1973 by radical activists Heather Booth and her husband Paul Booth. Booth was a founder and former National Secretary of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and former President of Chicago's Citizen Action Program (CAP). CAP was formed in 1969 by trainees from Saul Alinsky's Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF). Paul Booth is currently an assistant to Gerald McEntee, President of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), a public employees union.

After receiving his radical and activist training, Stern began his career as a welfare case officer and a member of the SEIU in 1973, where he rapidly rose through the ranks and was eventually elected president of his Pennsylvania local.  In 1980, he was elected to the union's executive board, and in 1984 the union's then-president Sweeney put him in charge of its organizing efforts. An ideal position for a community organizer.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Stern was a key organizer of SEIU's “Justice for Janitors” campaign demanding added benefits on behalf of cleaning and maintenance workers in Los Angeles. With the approval of then SEIU President Sweeney, Stern adopted and used the tactics of the 60’s New Left. Stern and with the help of his cohorts led strikers, who wore red shirts and carried signs depicting brooms held in clenched fists, in blocking access to a number of city streets. This tactic was also employed in 2004, in New York City during the GOP National Convention.

In 1996, after Sweeney became president of the AFL-CIO, Stern was elected to the presidency of the SEIU. After launching a national debate about the fundamental change needed to unite the 9 out of 10 American workers who have no organization at work, SEIU, along with the Teamsters, announced in 2005 that they were disaffiliating from the AFL-CIO (a correction to a statement in Part 1). Stern led SEIU out of the AFL-CIO and founded Change to Win, a six-million member federation of seven major unions dedicated to giving workers a voice at their jobs.

In order to give workers a voice, SEIU commonly bullies and pressures companies into signing agreements to make SEIU the representative of their employees. If a company resists joining the union, Stern and his political, media and activist allies conspire to launch “corporate campaigns”aimed at breaking down that resistance through what they term the “death of a thousand cuts.”In such campaigns, the cabal of attackers harasses and disrupts company activities, sends vicious emails and letters to stockholders, intimidates customers, stalks and frightens employees, files baseless lawsuits, and plants false stories with media allies to smear the company’s reputation. Any wonder that SEIU is closely associated with another organization that is known for the same tactics, ACORN?

In addition to being the radical leader of the SEIU, Stern is a leading figure in the so-called Shadow Party. This so-called "Shadow Democratic Party," or "Shadow Party," is a nationwide network of more than five-dozen unions, non-profit activist groups, and think tanks whose agendas are ideologically to the left, which are engaged in campaigning for the Democrats. Its activities include fundraising, get-out-the-vote drives, political advertising, opposition research, and media manipulation. The Shadow Party was conceived and organized principally by George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Harold McEwan Ickes -- all of which are identified with the Democratic Party's left.

 

Another “outstanding” organization the Stern is associated with, in fact he sits on the Executive Committee, is America Coming Together (ACT). ACT organized the Democratic Party's Government Union wing, which is represented by such leftist labor unions as the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and AFSCME. ACT was one of the 33 "progressive" member organizations constituting the America Votes coalition.Not being satisfied with the radical activities of his other organizations, Stern, along with George Soros, helped organize Working For Us(WFU), a political action committee that seeks to "elect lawmakers who support a progressive political agenda." This was aimed at moving the Democratic Party ever further to the political left. Stern and WFU work to prevent conservative and moderate Democrats from gaining too much influence in government.

In 2008 Stern supported Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy. His SEIU spent approximately $60 millionto help elect Obama to the White House, deploying some 100,000 pro-Obama volunteers during the campaign (including 3,000 who worked on the election full time). He has to become an immensely

influential advisorto President Obama. Is there any doubt why, Stern and his SEIU received a portion of the recently passed Porkulus Bill.

The Shadow Menace (Part 1- SEIU)

In 1993, a syndicated television series, Babylon 5 by J. Michael Straczynski was broadcast on television stations through out the nation. As with any successful series, it was only after a number of seasons did we find out who the true villain was. Having enjoyed the series, I wonder, if Mr. Straczynski had a crystal ball and foresaw the future. Did he foresee what is currently happening with our Republic and the American way of life? Is there a shadow menace lurking in the background? Is this shadow quietly controlling the government? Some hints have been made, particularly by Glenn Beck, www.glennbeck.com and Quinn and Rose, www.warroom.com. I hope to show that this shadow menace is not only present, but like a giant octopus has its tentacles spreading through out the administration and the organizations that support it. As Thomas Jefferson said, “Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.”

Unless one is a member of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), not many people have heard of it prior to 2003. In 2003, the SEIU endorsed Howard Dean for president. The SEIU sent thousands of “volunteers” to work in the states where early primaries were scheduled. After John Dean dropped out in 2004, and it was apparent that John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, would be the Democratic nominee, Andrew Stern, the president of SEIU played a major role in persuading Kerry in choosing the morally corrupt John Edwards as his running mate. But, what is the SEIU? Who is Andrew Stern? Why do they want to destroy the American way of life?

In 1986, SEIU had about 600,000 members and has since bucked a decades-long trend of declining membership. Currently it has about 1.8 million members across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico and ranks among the largest and fastest-growing unions in North America. It has more than 300 local affiliates and 25 state councils. It is now the largest labor union in the AFL-CIO. The success of SEIU can be summarized in the fact that it targeted workers that were previously ignored by most unions—unskilled low-wage service workers like janitors and hospital aides. SEIU members work in four service industry "divisions":
Hospital Systems:As America's largest union of health care workers, SEIU represents more than 900,000 caregivers and hospital employees, including  some 110,000 nurses and 40,000 doctors in public, private, and non-profit medical institutions.
Long-Term Care: SEIU is the largest union of long-term care workers (including 350,000 home care workers and 150,000 nursing home employees) in the United States.
Public Services:The second largest union of public service employees, SEIU represents 850,000 local and state government workers, public school employees, bus drivers, and child care providers.
Property Services: SEIU is the largest property services union, with 225,000 workers who clean, maintain, and protect commercial and residential office buildings.

SEIU also holds the distinction of being one of America’s two largest government unions, the other being AFSCME, the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees. The nightmare for such unions is not a weak economy, as it would be for private sector workers. Government workers get their money not from a free marketplace but from coerced taxes. Although many SEIU workers not employed directly by government are hospital and nursing home staffers paid indirectly by government dollars for Medicare, Medicaid and welfare patients. For this reason the government unions are the party of American socialism. (“How Socialist Unions Rule the Democratic Party, Lowell Ponte, www.frontpage.com ) It was because of this SEIU was determined to defeat Bush in 2004, by committing 65 million dollars to the campaign of Kerry and Edwards. This money was used to finance voter registration drives, voter "education" initiatives, get-out-the-vote campaigns, and the efforts of some 2,000 political organizers working full-time against President Bush in 17 key battleground states. Moreover, the Union pledged to supply 50,000 "volunteers" from its membership rolls just prior to, and on, election day. Does this sound familiar?

In 2004, the Republicans were public enemy number one to the SEIU because they (the Republicans) wanted to reduce the size and spending of government, and to contract out millions of existing government tasks to money-saving, non-unionized private companies. The wealth, power and future of this and AFSCME depend on replacing a Republican President with Democratic advocates of government expansion like the team of Kerry and Edwards. Another reason for the onslaught against the Republicans, not only in 2004, but continues to this day is SEIU’s call for "the redirecting of the nation's resources from inflated military spending to meeting the needs of working families for health care, education, a clean environment, housing and a decent standard of living.” Does this sound like the current regime’s plans for America?

 Let us not forget;

Madame Secretary:

I find your department’s recently released assessment on Rightwing Extremism personally highly insulting.  I am amazed that that a government agency can waste money, my taxes, on a report not founded in evidence, but in conjecture. Is this just part of a political agenda, because people, particularly returning veterans may be dissatisfied with the current administration’s policies? I need not defend any veteran, they have proven their loyalty, they are sworn to defend the Constitution, and this oath is carried with them the rest of their lives.

This report is very much like the propaganda that was spread by newspapers and Hollyweird in the late 1960’s and 1970’s about veterans returning from Viet Nam. We also were “profiled” as drug crazed baby killers. We were dissatisfied with not being able to find jobs. We were “bitter” because of the treatment we received when we returned. Yes, there were isolated cases of anti social behavior, but the majority became productive American citizens, it fact I think some are serving in the government.

To profile an entire group of  brave young men and women as possible recruits for rightwing extremists group is as like profiling the entire current administration and congress as tax cheats and lawbreakers, who could be recruited for organized crime. If we profile persons of Middle Eastern decent, African Americans and people of Hispanic decent (legal and illegal), it ends up as a cause for a civil suit, and I believe it is also illegal.

To save time and money, I’ll present these facts to make it simpler for your department to profile me.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

Like every other American citizen, I have been following the feeding frenzy over the payment of your bonuses. It seems that’s all we have heard for the past week. Frankly, I am fed up with propaganda being spread by the media, congress and Dear Leader Obama. It is not my place or theirs to judge whether you earned or are entitled to the money that’s between God, your employer and yourself.

Having listened to the COA crap coming out of the current Reichstag, I can only say one thing, someone, please stand up and fight. The Reichstag has shredded the Constitution and turned this into a witch hunt, no different then the McCarthy hearings of the 1950’s or the anti-Jewish regulations that were drawn up by a Nazi bureaucracy in the early years of the Third Reich. The only purpose in what they have done is to demonize business and COA their rush to push an agenda through congress. An agenda designed for one purpose, to destroy the American way of life.

I would like to see someone stand up to these sanctimonious, greedy sacred cows that we call congress. Most of which couldn’t operate, let alone manage a lemonade stand and that includes Hussin Obama. They are good for spreading lies, name calling and spreading the class warfare. Just like in the Third Reich did with the Jews. Remember, “Those who do not remember history tend to repeat it.”

Describing the Nuremberg Laws “In the Reich's early years, anti-Jewish regulations were drawn up by a Nazi bureaucracy that included both radical and moderate anti-Semites. None of the bureaucrats had any moral qualms about being anti-Semitic. However, the moderates were concerned with foreign reaction and the possible disruptive impact of anti-Jewish prohibitions on Germany's still-fragile economy.”Copyright © 2001 The History Place™ http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/triumph/tr-nurem-laws.htm

Let us bring it up to date; what congress and the administration have done is…. “In the early days, anti-business regulations were drawn up by a congress that included both radical and moderate business people. None of the members of congress had any moral qualms about being anti-business. However, the moderates were concerned with the citizens’ reaction and the possible disruptive impact of anti-business regulations on America’s fragile economy.”

“Although Jews made-up less than one percent of Germany's overall population of 55 million, Hitler considered them by nature to be the "mortal enemy" of the German people. But within Hitler's bureaucracy, radical and moderate anti-Semites strongly disagreed as to what legal (or illegal) actions should actually be taken against the Jews. This bureaucratic in-fighting resulted in complete stagnation concerning the development of a coordinated Reich policy of anti-Semitism.

Local Brownshirts, upset by the bureaucratic bungling, often took out their frustrations on local Jews in their neighborhoods, and by mid-1935 there had been dramatic rise in the number of street incidents.” Copyright © 2001 The History Place™ http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/triumph/tr-nurem-laws.htm

Is this not what is going on in the congress and America……Although high paid business executives make-up less than five percent of America’s overall population. Congress and the administration considered them by nature to be the "mortal enemy" of the American people. But within Obama and congress’ bureaucracy, radical and moderate anti-business strongly disagreed as to what legal (or illegal) actions should actually be taken against “big business". This bureaucratic in-fighting hopefully may result in complete stagnation concerning the development of a coordinated government anti-business policy.

Although this is written for the employees of AIG, I feel the citizens of America should wake up and what is happening to our country. This could happen to any group; churches, talk show hosts, or actually any citizen that might earn more than the Reichstag thinks they should. Someone has to stand up to congress and the administration and bring them under control. After all they work for us. I didn’t vote to give them raises or special bonuses, yet they get them and have the nerve to misuse the power that we give them to target a select group, just because they rushed to pass a bill without reading it. To congress, I and the rest of America are your employers and to quote the Donald, “You’re Fired.” Please don’t ask for a reference.

Quite a few things have happened since my last post and it has pretty become old news, so I will not add my personal rant on those events. I would like really everyone to think about the direction this country is heading. Time or Newsweek bragged that we are all socialist now. Well, I’m afraid we have going further then that.

Recently, a substitute host on Michael Medvet’s show interrupted a caller for saying or comparing Qbama to Hitler. The host said that we shouldn’t have that comparison. After all, Hitler had set up death camps and tried destroy the Jews and other so called inferiors. As I driving, I could only say, “not yet.” If that host and others would stop being so afraid and develop a set of *****, and look at the history of Nazi Germany and Hitler’s rise to power.

Obama, like Hitler, came out of nowhere and had written a couple of books. Both “studied” with “radicals” in the beginning. Both served with fairly radical organizations, Hitler with the German Workers Party: Obama with ACORN (who now is going to billions of taxpayers dollars). Hitler had his “brown shirts” that actually intimidated people to vote and support Hitler. Obama had his “truth squads” operating in various states during his campaign. Both used an economical crisis, Hitler had the Depression: Obama had the banking crisis or as he has, “the worst economical crisis since the Depression”. Obama even continued this through the election and until this past weekend. Both came to power by giving great speeches and charisma, the only thing difference is Hitler didn’t use a teleprompter.

Looking back over the election, does this not describe Obama? “He would begin each speech in low, hesitating tones, gradually raising the pitch and volume of his voice then exploding in a climax of frenzied indignation. He combined this with carefully rehearsed hand gestures for maximum effect. He skillfully played on the emotions of the audience bringing the level of excitement higher and higher until the people wound up a wide-eyed, screaming, frenzied mass that surrendered to his will and looked upon him with pseudo-religious adoration.” ¹  

Hitler and Obama both offered something to everyone; work to the unemployed, prosperity for the failed business people, more profits to industry, social harmony and an end of class distinctions to idealistic young people. Hitler differs from Obama on one important idea, Hitler wanted to increase the Army, Obama seeks to cut the defense budget, thus decreasing the Armed Forces. Both promised the restoration of their nation’s glory to those in despair. Obama and Hitler promised to bring order amid chaos, a feeling of unity to all and the chance to belong. Both promised to stamp out corruption.

Hitler and Obama appealed to all classes of citizens. For Hitler, the name of the Nazi party itself was deliberately all inclusive - the National Socialist German Workers' Party. For Obama, the Democratic party is “all inclusive”.

All of the Nazis, from Hitler, down to the leader of the smallest city block, worked tirelessly, relentlessly, to pound their message into the minds of the Germans. During the primaries and the election, Obama, the “supper delegates”, special interest groups, ACORN and even movie stars worked to pound the message of “Change” home.

Hitler had the bankers and industrialists on his side, just like Obama. Later, Hitler turned on those same bankers and industrialists nationalizing the banks and industry. Obama and congress are doing the same, however they aren’t using force, but are using our tax money to “bailout” the banks and other industries, and thus gain government control. Just look at AIG, after Dodd put in an amendment to honor the bonuses. When Obama was elected, the democrats were in control of congress. This opened the door for his socialist agenda. When Hitler came to power, the Nazi party was all ready in power in the Reichstag and thus giving Hitler absolute power.

While Hitler’s brown shirts were instrumental in bringing him to power, he also established the SS and these two groups would endeavor to keep him in power. Currently, Obama is losing some of his support, however, his ace in the hole, with the support of congress is trying to pass HR 1388. The “Give Act” will require every citizen to serve in some form of national service. Not quite the SS, but should we be worried, I say, “YES”.

There are many items going on in D.C. and I feel that all Americans should be concern. The Constitution was written as the ultimate law in our nation. Obama and congress are trying to shred it in every way it can. Some Americans believe this cannot happen. Some conservative talk hosts, Michael Medvet and Bill Bennett, do not or chose to even consider these comparisons and God forbid you even mention Hitler and Obama in the same breath. Bill O’Reilly and Dennis Miller, there isn’t too much you can say about them, except they seem to be more interested in ratings then even looking at the possibility of the United States becoming a socialist.

A few conservative talk show hosts do have the ***** to speak out. They are the early warning system doing all they can to protect America. They are Rush Limbaugh, www.rushlimbaugh.com ; Michael Savage, http://michaelsavage.wnd.com/ ; Sean Hannity, www.hannity.com; Quinn and Rose, www.warroom.com/ ;and of course, Glenn Beck, www.glennbeck.com . They are risking all, from the possibility of IRS audits to be taken off the air due to the the fear by station owners. In fact, here in the People's Republic of Louisville, Quinn and Rose have already been taken off the air.

As you read this, you may wonder what you can do to attempt to stop this onslaught. "Where do I begin?" I would like to suggest that on or about the 7^th or 8^th of April, mail a photo of a teabag or a copy of a picture of the Boston Tea Party to:

Well, I’m back from hiatus. After the election, I figured I’d take some time off to stock pile gas, food, ammo and a few weapons. It is best to purchase them now, before they completely gut the Second Amendment.  This sounds extreme but, with H. Obama, The Messiah about to take charge and with his loyal yes people in Congress, I figured, better safe then sorry.

Since the election, I have heard the biggest bunch of crap from the so called Republicans and “Conservative” talk show hosts. Every one, save a few like Rush, Quinn, Sean Hannity and maybe Glenn Beck, say that we should treat The Messiah elect with respect. I say BULL, I will treat him and his minions with the same respect his side treated President Bush. The American people have elected a socialist, whose true background was not vetted, who came out of nowhere to be elected along with other members of his party to “govern”. Sound familiar? The country was in a “crisis”, which was brought about by the same people who now are part of the so called solution. They came to power by using this crisis and fear mongering. Sound familiar? They came to power by blaming a small group, the oil executives and bankers. They blame the “rich”. They established a class and race division. Sound familiar? The Queen Bee in the house and the Head Bozo in the senate are all ready doing what they can to shut down debate from the opposing side. They are planning gun control; they are planning to bring back the “fairness” doctrine and doing away with secret ballots for the unions.  Sound familiar?

We all should remember, the “truth squads” from the campaign. We remember the black panthers at some polling places. We remember ACORN and others registering people to “vote”. We have heard of areas having more votes then registered voters, in fact it is still going in MN. The Messiah and his minions are doing everything they can to gain control and the sad part is that the American people are stuck on stupid, with hands out hoping to get something for nothing. Sound familiar? Well, America, look back, for those who do not remember history tend to repeat it. America is about to enter a dark time and maybe repeat a very bleak time in world history, a time that saw a world war and the death of 6 million Jews. Only this time, it may not be a world war, but may lead to the death of two nations, the United States and Israel.

I guess that everyone who reading this may be shocked and wondering if I am comparing The Messiah to Hitler. Yes, to the point of the comparison of Hitler’s rise to power to that of The Messiah’s. Both came out of no where, with no leadership or accomplishments. Both used the same tactics, giving eloquent, spell binding speeches, both blamed a small minority group, for the problems of the nation. Hitler blamed the Jews, The Messiah, blames the “rich” and those who work hard and try to get ahead in this great country.  Both came to power and brought their “party” to control of their country’s governing body. Both wanted to establish a civilian youth organization. Both had their own personal security forces that went after anyone who disagreed with them. Hitler had the “Brown-shirts”, The Messiah had the press. Both promised to bring the economy under control. Hitler lead Germany down a path of destruction, I am afraid that if the American people and particularly the Conservatives don’t “fight” back, and then we may be hitting down the road to social and economic destruction.

By fighting back I do not mean physically. I am referring to the means that we as Americans have at our disposal, which I will suggest on my next post.
