Absolute Power Yields Absolute Corruption



Ive been thinking about this for a few days now...Imagine that, a well thought well informed opinion...

Ever since President Obama allowed the Congressional Black Caucus to take that little jaunt over to Cuba, then following that up with picking up some change off the floor in front of the Saudi king, then finally schmoozing with Chavez and letting his body language do the talking while Ortega goes on a rant about how bad America is and has been, its spurned some thought about this man and what is really going on in his head, or what his desires are...
Obama seems to be enamored with certain dictators, smiling at them and having apparently no problem going in, with no pre-conditions whatsoever, to talks about what, exactly?? What is it that we, as a nation, need to discuss with these folks?? That is for another conversation, but after watching this man, and how much b.s. he has spewed over the past 90 days or so, and the two faced, double talk that has escaped from his lips; not to mention the direction his politics and ideals are driving this country, I have to say at this point that Obama actually believes he can change this country into a state similar to that of Russia, or Venezuela. It would not surprise me, if he were to be elected to a second term, that near the middle of that second term he would petition congress, noting that it would have to be a liberal majority to do so not that it would stop him, playing on fear and the same tactics and teleprompter smooth talk that got him elected, to either run for a third term as president, or to continue to sit as president until the "crisis" or what have you has "subsided"...

This of course is merely an idea, a thought or two, nothing more...

The ideology of this man, how he was raised and the ideology that he was exposed to during his high-school and college years, with travels to Indonesia and Kenya and the indoctrination of certain radical Islamic ideals on top of the education and ideology that is at Harvard, namely, the romanticized snippets of political science professors and economics professors, all throwbacks to the hippie movements, have toiled in their brains on the very subject of a Communist/Utopian existence in America...One level playing field for all where the government is in charge and provides for the welfare of the people...They have had years to mull it over and to pick apart the mistakes of Mussolini, Hitler, Marx, Lenin and Stalin, because it does not matter weather its Fascism or Communism, its all a totalitarian state that is run by one person...

I believe that this man believes he can stack the deck into his favor and get a permanent spot in the White House, or in the very least, set the groundwork for someone else to do it...(actually the groundwork was set during the Bush years via the Iraqi war) I think the same thing about Hillary Clinton, which is why she ran and was so pissed when she didnt get the nod...

Its about control and about power...Its about out of control ego's and the need to feed that ego through the granted powers of the presidency of the United States and to once again test the brackish waters of an oppressive police state, unleashed upon its people, removing the rights and liberties that are granted us by birthright, not because some empty suit says we can or cannot...

Lastly, I hear the word "Orwellian" thrown around alot lately as if it is a bad thing. I did several studies on Orwell through my college studies and have read most, if not all of his writings...Orwell warned people about the dangers of totalitarian states and the evils of absolute power. In 'Animal Farm' the revolt by the animals in the farm turned into just a mirror of what they were living in before...People should read this as well as 1984 and take for granted the message contained within...

Follow Up Time With Barry and His International Band of Buddies...



Five days after the fact, yes this is about the Tea Party, I attended the Cleveland, Ohio variety and have to say that I enjoyed myself thoroughly...Of course we were staring in the face of a bitter chill that whipped up off of Lake Erie, around Cleveland Browns Stadium and right into the few thousand (by my own estimates) that decided to make their voices heard.

Conveniently, the DHS report that pretty much called half of America "Right Wing Extremists" based on the simple fact that you may disagree with the current administrations policies and view points on a myriad of topics such as abortion, gun control, taxation or that you are a vet of Iraq or Afghanistan, reared its ugly pustule marked head a few days before millions of Americans told the government what they thought of the way things have been conducted for the past 9, or so, years. Now there are petetions being circulated by hand, as well as online, for DHS to retract the report...DHS has now released a "statement" in defense of the DHS report, again, how convenient...The American Center for Law & Justice is in on it, a great article found HERE...Somehow I still dont think it all adds up as even though I have looked (not hard but I have looked) for a copy of the report its nowhere to be found...

My question is: What are these idiots thinking?? Where is the forethought that maybe, just maybe some people would get a little pissed off about all this?? The White House hasnt said much, if anything, at all about the report...Generally when that happens theyre either trying to distance themselves or they agree in some way...Im guessing the latter and that is only because I am following the trend here...

In talking with some folks there is a thread of thinking that this is just another step into all out class warfare...to deamonize the right or those who hold different views other than the regime that is in power...This is not unlike other dictatorships or totalitarian states have been able to accomplish in the past, its actually par for the course if you are at all familiar with your history.

The other and more extreme view is that if the government sets the precedent now that any dissenters from the "progressive" mindset are singled out, they could easily be detained simply based on suspicion and/or probable cause. It happened during WWII with the Japanese detainment camps and more recently with Guantanamo...I dont doubt that there are bad guys in Guantamo, yet on the other hand I cant be sure that 100% of them are a real threat to the U.S. That may have changed now seeing as there are a few that have had some time to sit on it and be indoctrinated even further, but hey, what do I know Im just another blogger lost in the stew of the internets...

I really love how Barry got played as a propoganda tool by Chavez a few days back, giving him a book, completely written in spanish mind you, making them look like best buddies...

More to come...

Anti-Obama Stickers and Class Warfare

It is always amusing to see the proverbial tables turned in the other direction. How soon we forget, with our selective memories and hearing, what the reality is...then again, perception is reality.
I found it quite ignorant, the uninformed and emotional reactions of the "Not My President", "1.20.09, End Of A Error" and the ever famous "W" locked inside brightly colored red "no" circle bumper stickers. Somehow I dont quite remember anyone really getting too upset about those particular statements, yet here we are with the left lashing out against the very individuals they were thumbing their noses at this time 4 years ago.

A word of advice: Don't dish out more shit than you can take.

Is the amendment that ensures every American the freedom of expression subjective?? There are many on both the right and the left that would set the example for such a president. There is no disclaimer to 1st amendment rights, there never has been, only the unwritten blemish of "political correctness" that is not only wildly absurd, but steeped in the bible of the ACLU (American Communist Liberal Underground) and the flaccid backbone of Hollywood.

What the people are failing to see, selectively heard and perceived, are the politicians, news media and celebrities damning the successful (yet most Hollywood A-listers net millions a year) and bolstering the romantic ideals of socialism. Politicians say they are "working for the man on the street" or "working for the little guy" when it is now a cardinal sin to earn more than a quarter million a year. Since when is the American Dream come under fire?? The Left constantly spew out the achievements of President Obama: A Harvard Law grad, the first "black" editor of the Harvard Law Review etc. all noble and worthy of acclaim, but in the same breath they demonize corporate executives who attended the same Ivy League schools and worked their way up through the ranks, in some cases, to get paid their contracted bonuses and salaries due to them at the end of the fiscal year.
The indoctrination of Americas youth into a load of sniffling, whining and lazy sponges who now expect every team to get a trophy for just showing up, the government to hand out when they cant make it and fall flat on their faces, and the teachers in the schools to grow and widen the grading scale, even changing it from A's to F's to "Pass/Fail" or to "Complete/Incomplete" totally demolishing any sense of responsibility, accomplishment, achievement or miserable failure. Is it going to get to the point where we only have to make sure our kids show up to school each day, listen to an instructors opinions and viewpoints instead of figures, hard facts and solid learning?

Those who are angry about others expressing their God given rights to a viewpoint and expressions have taken their share of the class warfare Kool-Aid. Eat the rich, damn the successful, but not as long as we hold the same view point and political ideals and "Red States" are full of redneck hillbillies and racists. The news media is especially deft at propagating the lies and fanning the fires that are beginning to burn across this country. Wider chasms of separation are forming that will eventually divide this country in half. Mass media propaganda, phony polls and "Breaking News" updates to keep you fed with what they want you to hear. Sitting in front of your television, glued to the latest developments completely blown out of proportion in an attempt to get you to tune in, buy in and sell out...
