Befriending a Liberal

It is always a good idea to not befriend a liberal. And I am not saying in the way you can go to lunch during work, or be coordial at a party. I am speaking of allowing one into your life. Liberals, for the most part of my experience, are toxic.

I have made friends with 3 so far in my life and it was not worth the drama or the effort.

The first one decided that I needed an education and he was there to provide it for me. And when I questioned him he then decided that I needed humbled. I do not submit to brow beating.

The second one decided that taking a private conversation public was appropriate, and then when I told him that I was mad at him for doing so he kept harassing me. All the while telling me it was my own fault he was harassing me. That is like a woman being beaten by her husband and him saying it is all her fault for breathing.

The third was a woman who decided that since I was not going to allow her to call me a racist without me getting upset at her and asking that she not talk tome for a while that she was going to suddenly think ill of me. It couldn't be because should couldn't control or mold me could it? She then proceeded to take private information of mine and use it as an insult to me, all the while saying I am bad because I said ass.

It is for that reason that liberals can forget ever having me trust them, or confide in them. Because their favorite past time is making people into victims and I refuse to be their next project.

White House Plans to Collect Data from Social Networking Sites

The National Legal and Policy Center claims to have uncovered a secret White House plan to collect data from private citizen's social networking websites.

Have you posted a video of yourself on You Tube? Do you have pictures of your kids on Facebook? How about rants of your political views, or maybe a few choice words aimed at a policy or injustice you have witnessed all played out on MySpace? All of these may be subject to collection and filing at the archives of the White House according to the National Legal and Policy Center.

In a report released Monday the NLPC stated that it uncovered a government contract up for bid which specifies the collection of information from Social Networking mediums. The White House Office of New Media request for contract is deemed by some as necessary in order to Comply with Presidential Records Act. The White House Office of New Media was set up to make the government more technologically approachable and to aid in the transparency of government.

From the Solicitation:

The purpose of this Statement of Objectives (SOO) is to obtain the necessary services to ensure that content published by the Executive Office of the President (EOP) on publicly-accessible web sites is archived in accordance with the Presidential Records Act (PRA), that information posted on publicly-accessible web sites where the EOP maintains a presence is archived in accordance with the PRA, and that all archived information is securely stored and provided to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for historical preservation, in accordance with the PRA.

The Executive Office of the President has began to maintain more of a presence in social networking websites and the technological savvy it has exhibited is hailed as an attributing factor to the success of Obama's Presidential campaign. The EOP and other government agencies have taken the executive order of the President detailing a requirement for transparancy and ran with it all the way to the internet. One resource being utilized is called Govloop. Govloop.com has acted like a Facebook for government workers and has helped those workers utilize social networking websites like Twitter.

The Washington Times also reported about Govloop:

Enthusiasts have created a weekly radio show podcast, made hundreds of YouTube videos, produced more than 2,000 blog posts, shared more than 5,000 pictures and even taken turns profiling a GovLoop member of the week and project of the week.

With this information in mind it is interesting to note what the recent government contract performance objectives. The contract specifies that the contractor is to "capture and store content of any kind, including text, graphic, audio, and video, in any existing file format." from "content published by EOP on publicly-accessible web sites, along with information posted by non-EOP persons on publicly-accessible web sites where the EOP offices under PRA maintains a presence." This will also cover non publicly-accessible websites.

NLPC is concerned by the language of the contract which would require the contractor to capture and store content submitted by non-EOP persons. The center is further concerned about language which is perceived to keep this information secret from the general public. While the provision of secrecy on Page 7 of the document titled, 'restriction against disclosure' is considered by the NLPC as too broad others have maintained it is procedure to include in every government contract.

In the Q&A Section of the document the Office of New Media attempts to explain the reason for archiving non-EOP personnel commentary.

9. The Presidential Records Act does not require the storage or archiving of non-EOP content, as such is there a specific reason as to why the content provided on EOP related websites in the form of comments is included in these archiving procedures? Answer: The PRA includes in its definition of presidential records content―received‖ by PRA components and personnel. Out of an abundance of caution, we are treating comments made by non-PRA personnel on sites on which a PRA component has a presence as presidential records, requiring them to be captured or sampled.

Where Could the Racial Tone in America Lead?

Racism seems to be an underlying theme in American politics and it will not dissipate. As more and more comments come out to stoke the racial flames, one has to wonder where this could lead.

Cracker. That was the first racial slur I ever heard. It was a slur aimed at me by a black girl when I was around age 9. 9-years-old was a very educational time for me. That year I learned the consequences of my birth and the color of my skin. I am white, therefore I was responsible for the slavery of blacks in times before my grandfather was a twinkle in my great grandmother's eye. I was responsible for the very thoughts and actions of Jim Crow. I was responsible for the poverty that all the black children around me had to live in. Because of the color of my skin, I was racist, hateful, and evil.

Now that is an education!

Growing up I was taught no different. The blacks were owed and I had to pay up because I am white and cannot help but to be bigoted, idiotic and racist. In college I was further forced to learn the downfalls of being white in a minority world. I was not to challenge a minority, or smile at them without first telling them how sorry I was for the horrible things I had done to them. Like being born.

These lessons have come back to me in this past Presidential election, and I have watched in deep sadness to find out that all the lessons being taught to whites to be tolerant, loving, and understanding of blacks has not been deemed enough by people in the black community who cannot let their own prejudices die. And now I am told that because of what they went through before I was ever born, I must endure their constant hen pecking. This attitude concerns me.

In black congregations across the nation, people like Jeremiah Wright, are still preaching that the white man is trying to eradicate the black man. That whites are still holding back the black man. During the election any opposition to Barack Obama was deemed racist, and that was that. If he did not win the election it was of because of the racists.

Cynthia McKinney was not allowed to enter the congressional building because she did not have an ID, and because of that the guard who did not know her on sight ( For shame!) was a racist.

Recently a racial incident flew out of control between a black professor and a white cop, and while it would have just been a two man "comparison contest" the President of the United States made it a racial debacle for calling the white cop stupid. We all know how this ends. They have a beer and Professor Gates offers to get Officer Crowley's kids into Harvard. Life goes on.

Now Governor David Paterson has gotten in on the race baiting by accusing the white controlled media of racist tactics that lowered his approval rating. I am sure there are many examples I have missed of a black leader blaming the white community for all problems incurred by individual black men and women. Which brings me to my point, the leaders who are still crying racist are teaching children, like the little girl who called me cracker, to hate whites. This cycle is perpetuating and it is spinning out of control.

When we were in the midst of election day I thought about the tense racial atmosphere and looked back at history to the Rodney King beatings. What would happen, I thought, if Barack Obama did not win. The worse case scenario, there would be a race riot. I am a worse case scenario kind of girl so I was ready to pack my kids up and get to a safe house in my city. I thought that if race riots happened they would stay out of my area, but my city was heavily populated by whites in between Youngstown and Warren which was heavily populated by blacks. The major route connecting the cities was about a mile from my home and ran past the mall.

I know at this point some people are thinking, what a racist for thinking this could happen. But you could not be more wrong. See I listen to people when they speak, and the representatives of the black community have made it loud and clear to me, they will fight back. They have in the past advocated violent actions, completely going against the urgings of one great black American, Martin Luther King. You combine the "whitey is racist" attitude with the popularity of Obama and then have him lose, well that is was not going to be pretty.

The election is over, he won, and there was nothing more than a disappointed cry from the opposition. As it should be. But now I have a new worry.

The President is in danger, and it is clear to me that if something were to happen situations could get out of hand. According to a new book, the President has 30 death threats a day. There is even a death threat waiting for him in Indonesia, even though the police there dismissed it as nothing. And now again I am thinking, what would happen if the President were assassinated.

I know it is not a pretty thought, but like I said I am a worse case scenario type of girl. I think that if the President were assassinated, not matter if it happened in Indonesia, or in Africa, or in Peru; no matter if it was a black man or a brown man or a yellow man, it is going to be blamed on the white man. Jeremiah Wright might say it was a deep conspiracy like what happened with Aids. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would stoke the flames for all they are worth, because they would stand to gain more worth. Patterson and others would be at the mics saying " I told you so." And I am afraid that it would start a nation wide race riot.

All it would take is one bullet from a person wanting to reap the benefits of the political, it could be anybody fanatical from the left or the right wing of the American political spectrum, to believe it could be a proper means to an end. It could completely tear apart racial relations in the country. Most of all it could lead to the death of President Obama and innocents across the nation. We as Americans need to be wary of the implications of the constant race baiting. Gov. Patterson and those like him who cast their shame into the waters of racism perpetuate the hate. White Americans who use the racism of some black Americans as an excuse to be bigots further their opinion.

This cycle of racism is going to bring this country to a screeching halt and possible an end.

Congress Defeats Broadcaster Freedom Act

The Broadcaster Freedom Act, which would have prevented any form of the Fairness Doctrine from returning, has been defeated today. This action by House Democrats stands in stark contrast to Democrat promises, even by President Obama, regarding this issue.
"As the president stated during the campaign, he does not believe the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated." - White House spokesman Ben LaBolt.

"I'm going to leave that issue to Julius Genachowski, our new head of the FCC, and the president to discuss. So I don't have an answer for you now." - Senior Obama advisor David Axelrod.
As many of you may remember, candidate Obama was quite clear during the campaign that no version of the Fairness Doctrine would pass under his watch. Yet the Broadcaster Freedom Act, sponsored by Reps. Greg Walden (R-OR), Mike Pence, and 125 other members of Congress, has been refused a full hearing on the House floor by liberal Democrats. This action leaves open the door not only to the Fairness Doctrine itself being pushed by liberal Democrats in Congress, but for other backdoor measures by the FCC to implement government regulation of the airwaves that the Broadcaster Freedom Act would have prevented as well.

Mr. Brian Jennings, author of Censorship: The Threat To Silence Talk Radio and a former National VP for Talk Programming of Citadel Broadcasting, had the following to say in response to the BFA going down in flames in Congress:

"They clearly want to regulate radio. Their speech is so disingenuous, its laughable. They say they do not favor the Fairness Doctrine, yet they support back-door measures that would accomplish the same goals. They cannot deny that programming advisory boards, localism rules, and defining the public interest with some “teeth” are all means of regulating speech in America - particularly conservative speech. This is an outrage and all Americans should see through this for what it is. These are tyrants in action."

Americans are Enslaved by our Tax System

Barack Obama is losing his shiny luster to American voters. The recession is deepening and Ron Paul is starting to look better to even his critics. What is going on? The ususal, taxes and debt.

We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others, the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name---Liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible means---liberty and tyranny.

Abraham Lincoln, 1864

Lincolns words echo from the past to fit neatly in the current atmosphere of America today,and while those words were meant to address the slavery and the oppression of the blacks, the words are equally apropos for our current struggles in America. Slavery is not just the oppression of the Jews, or the blacks, or any of the other historic groups of people who have been forced to labor for a higher class, it can also be an oppression of an entire country for the benefit of the Political Elite. As it stands, Americans are nothing more than the slaves of Washington and more people are realizing it.

Polls indicate that President Obama's approval ratings are dropping. In Ohio they have dropped by 13 points to rest at a 49 percent approval rating and a 44 percent disapproval rating. According to a Gallup Poll the national approval rating had dropped and is clearly divided on party lines.

U.S. President Barack Obama averaged a 58% job approval rating for the first eight days of July, down from an average of 61% for June. His approval rating is down most significantly among independents, to 53% so far in July from an average of 59%in June; it has dropped two points among Republicans (from 25% in June to 23% so far in July) and has gone up a point among Democrats, to 90%

At this point in the game this may be just the status quo as every President has a rocky start, and a loud loyal opposition. Still the polling numbers do not bode well if the trend continues ,and it will as long as Americans are feeling the strain of the economy and see no end in sight due to legislation that would demand all Americans pay higher taxes.

Taxes are the first form of slavery that our founding fathers fought against and it seems that Americans have forgotten all our country was founded upon by accepting the increase in taxes that have become the shackles and the yolk of our country. Thomas Jefferson would agree.

"We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt We must make our selection between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude.. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat in our drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labors and in our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people.. must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live.. We have not time to think, no means of calling the mis-managers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow suffers. Our landholders, too...retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury, must...be contented with penury, obscurity and exile.. private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagance. This is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering... And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression."

Are taxes necessary? Yes they are, or the founders would not have made it legal for the collection of taxes by writing Article 1 Section 8 into the constitution.

Section. 8. The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

Ah there is the rub, taxes are necessary for the operation of government, but our founders did not think taxes should weigh heavily on the people. Did American's learn this in school? Well they learned about the Boston Tea Party, and that seems to be the only concept that Americans can easily relate to. Hence the loyal opposition of Barack Obama's policies, the Tea Party Patriots, and they scare the living daylights out of the political class.

Tea Party Patriots are made up of Democrats and Republicans, Libertarians and Constitutionalists alike who have recognized the already broken promises of the administration not to raise taxes on 95 percent of Americans. The group is also concerned with the ever expanding debt the Obama Adminstration and Congress are signing into law as some Americans watch in horror, and others cheerfully accept in the name of the green movement and lazy compassion.

Tea Party Patriots are not the only group ready to voice their dismay against slavery, there are also the new "creative extremists." You can generally find these folks on the Internet forums or at a restaurant discussing the new Glenn Beck book Common Sense: The Case Against An Out-of-Control Government, Inspired by Thomas Paine.

Glenn Beck's own version of Common Sense also touches upon the oppressive use of taxes.

A complex and confusing tax code is a weapon that can be used to intimidate enemies( windfall profits tax on oil companies) and punish the innocent but politically unpopular person(a 90 percent tax on corporate executives) while rewarding friends with exemptions,deductions,and individualized loopholes.

Glenn Beck pg. 39

There are also Americans not aligned with either group who are portraying their distaste for rising debt and taxes. Some are smokers who are represented by the poor and minority groups who will be hit with outrageous taxes beyond their control. There are farmers and truckers who will feel the crunch of taxes on higher gas prices if the cap and tax bill is signed into law. There are poverty stricken American's on welfare whose food stamps will not stretch as far as delivery charges rise and stores compensate. The middle class will have trouble heating their house as the cost of coal energy and heating oil skyrocket. The Rich, who nobody seems to care about, will not be able to afford to higher more workers if they keep a non government sanctioned insurance company and have to pay taxes on premiums.

We are slaves in America to the political elite, and their convoluted Tax Code. One wonders though, what their agenda is now that they have procured the labor.

GIVE Act and the Indoctrination of American School Children

Yesterday was the first time I heard about the GIVE Act. Perhaps I have been spending too much time on Facebook. At first glance the bill seems like a feel good funding of community organizations and education for volunteerism. However, there is more than meets the eye with this current legislation. The Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act (H.R. 2867) has passed the House and the Senate, and America came dangerously close to forced advocacy.

Previous provisions in the bill would have forced Americans to engage in some kind of community service. Luckily the hullabaloo raised over this provision lead it to its eventual death on the cutting room floor. This time we can breathe a sigh of relief, but do not count the initiative out. The crafters of the bill who put that in will most likely want to try to sneak it in somewhere else. Is that not the usual with the American CONgress?

As it stands the GIVE Act gives $6billion to community organizations and charities, and yes that includes the ever aggressive and corrupt ACORN. The Act also appropriates funding for educational programs, which is of great concern to many Americans who have looked into Barack Obama's community organizer days.

Not to beat a dead horse, but there is a connection between William Ayers and Barack Obama. Cry foul as one might, it is there and it is not based on bombing the Pentagon. It was based on education reform through CAC and CPAA where Obama and Ayers served on the same board promoting the same agenda. On the surface the agenda was more funding for public school systems, but while the one hand was promoting funding the other was slipping the indoctrination card from its sleeve.

The indoctrination of K-12 children in American schools across the nation is not far away, indeed it has already begun with the election of William Ayers as president of the American Educational Research Association (AERA). His influence is now over hundreds of thousands of children in classrooms. His agenda is social advocacy, which would be fine if Americans did not know that his particular brand of social advocacy involves bombing the Pentagon.

Obama and Ayers have a similar foundation to their community organization skills, the teachings of Saul Alinsky. He is the author of the book Rules for Radicals. These rules are meant to teach community organizations how to achieve their goals, the basic rule is the end justifies the means. They are as follows.

Here are Alinsky's rules to test whether the means are ethical.

1.One's concern with the ethics of means and ends varies inversely with one's personal interest in the issue.

2.The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent upon the political position of those sitting in judgment.

3.In war the end justifies almost any means.

4.Judgment must be made in the context of the times in which the action occurred and not from any other chronological vantage point.

5.Concern with ethics increases with the number of means available and vice versa.

6.The less important the end to be desired, the more one can afford to engage in ethical evaluations of means.

7.Generally, success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics.

8.The morality of means depends upon whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.

9.Any effective means is automatically judged by the opposition to be unethical.

10.You do what you can with what you have and clothe it in moral garments.

11.Goals must be phrased in general terms like "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," "Of the Common Welfare," "Pursuit of Happiness," or "Bread and Peace."

Here are his rules of power tactics.

1.Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.

2.Never go outside the experience of your people.

3.Whenever possible, go outside of the experience of the enemy.

4.Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.

5. Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.

6.A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.

7.A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.

8.Keep the pressure on with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.

9.The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.

10.The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.

11.If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside.

12.The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.

13.Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

These are the foundations of modern community organizations, of which children ages K-12 are being encouraged to join and through which will be indoctrinated. While Saul Alinsky felt Democracy was the easiest way to achieve his goals, the groups which advocate under his rules are for big government closer to that of socialism. ACORN is one of those groups, and it will be receiving funding I can bet my eye teeth on that. The question is, do you want ACORN teaching your children how to be an upstanding citizen in the community?

A Call to 'Teabag' Congress

The We The People Stimulus Package Youtube video is starting to make waves across the Internet and it calls for all Americans to Teabag Congress!

If you are at a frat party, don't fall asleep on a couch with your mouth hanging open or you might get a nasty surprise. If you don't know what I am talking about, count yourself lucky. For those that do, imagine it is your least favorite congressional representative on that couch. Yes there! I see the wicked little grin. Unfortunately for us, and fortunately for Congress they have not fallen asleep drunk in front of We The People.

America's most wasteful Fraternity and Sorority group has built up its elitism and power for generations. The untouchables now have such a monopoly on America that the are contemplating passing legislation that retroactively targets one group of people. That is unconstitutional, by the way, no matter how much the bastards at AIG deserve it.

Congress has passed over a trillion dollars in funding legislation within Obama's first two months in office, and now they are talking about another stimulus package. Earmarks, pork projects, and other more understandable projects are being funded, when We The People do not have the luxury of affording such trifling programs. We The People have been slaves to credit, slaves to politics, and slaves to consumerism. Now we are living within our means, and government has picked up the mantle of irresponsible spending.

The panic and disassociation in America has spurred what many are hailing "Pre- French Revolutionary Mentality." If you remember the French Revolution was not about establishing principles and justice, but all out class warfare.

A grassroots movement has been formed in response to the recession, the blunders of Congress, and the ineptitude of President Obama. It started with 25 states legislating a reaffirmation of their sovereignty, then Tea Party USA began with the endorsement of Rick Santelli, and now a Youtube video is making its rounds called "The We The People Stimulus Package."

The video suggests that we hold Congress to the Constitution, limit their terms, make the executive branch enforce the law, and reassert that Government officials are servants of the people. In the end Thomas Paine urges the people to Teabag congress, as in mail a teabag to your representative.

Will Americans teabag their representatives? Will this grassroots movement spread? I sure hope so, we have to do something to wake up the idiots who barely understand our founding documents who are legislating the country into death!
