It’s been awhile since VDH hit the ball out of the park like he does here. He really gets the nature of this Bourbon-esque monarchy that team Obama sees in the mirror. Well they had lots of mirrors at Versailles, as well.

United States of America does not possess the Guillotine. We have only impeachment and removal from office.

… Pity…T

Consider: The 120,000 troops in “the surge is not working” Iraq are now complaining of ennui —while the White House is paralyzed over whether to send more troops to the new escalating front in Afghanistan. How odd the present perceptions: Bush’s bad optional war became good in the public mind, and Obama’s necessary good war became bad…

The Russian gambit failed…

Sorta, Kinda, Maybe Diplomacy

…Guantanamo really will close on March 1, 2010; Iran must comply this time by June 1, 2010; all combat brigades will be out by March 2008, 2009, 2010; health care must pass by August, September, October, November…

Oil is climbing back over $80 a barrel…

They got greater bailouts, higher unemployment, larger deficits, and Chicago politics…

Obamunism - it’s a thought provoking title. Yet do the majority of America’s citizens assent to this characaturization of our new president?  After all, he was elected on a groundswell of American populism (and maybe Acorn voter fraud, but who’s really keeping track).  Until recently, His poll numbers continue to reinforce his self-assumed deification, and the liberal media unquestioningly toes the party line.   With support like this, who wants to challenge the Chicago thuggery politics which have come to the White House with him?

If only we could get an outside point of view – someone who could comment on recent political evolutions in America who doesn’t have Democrat or Republican prejudice.

In april of this year, Pravda, the state run media outlet in Russia printed the following.

“It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.”

This commentary comes from the Russian state run political news machine. I would suggest that this group knows communisism and marxism when they see it.

Stand up Americans.

Light the Fires

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, “Pick up your shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the promised land.”
Nearly 75 years ago, Roosevelt said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel, this is the promised land.”
Now Obama is going to steal your shovel, kick your asses, raise the price of camels, and mortgage the promised land.

Ain’t life grand.

I don’t even know where to begin. It seems Nancy Pelosi “struck a deal” with Collin Peterson,(D-MN) chairman of the Agricultural Committee (WHY do we have an Agricultural Committee??), to get this behemoth passed. Apparently rural co-ops will benefit greatly. A rural co-op is another name for “electric company”.

This scam of a program, is nothing more than an enormous tax hike. Think of all of the things that are powered by electricity; here is my list, some will be obvious,others not so much:

• Homes.
• Businesses.
• Food Processing.
• Manufacturing-you thought government owned the car companies now, just wait.
• Refineries-not just petroleum mind you; sugar and metals to name two more.
• Gas Pumps-how did you think it got in there?
• Farming

These are just a few of the areas that I could think of off the top of my head. In reality, anything that’s manufactured, shipped, or grown will be slapped with this ridiculous tax, which you will not actually “see” on a receipt, as it will be buried in the details of life. And, let’s not forget that in January of 2008 then Senator Obama said that “Electricity Rates Would Necessarily Skyrocket” under his “Cap and Trade” plan.

This is nothing more that a giant power grab for the federal government; nothing more than a fascist takeover of our society. There will be nothing that the government won’t be involved in. Nothing. The bill is over 1200 PAGES long, they are adding anything and everything they can think of.

The battle cry is getting weary, you’re hearing the same things again and again:”Write and call your Senators”, “Write and call your Congressmen”. This is a great weapon, but it feels ineffective; they aren’t listening, they don’t care. The smell of blood is too great, they are like crazed animals; power and blood lust driving their decisions.

The audacity(maybe it’s just me, but that word has special meaning ), of thinking that we can legislate and manage acts of God is beyond arrogant. The idea that cow flatulence is anything but NORMAL is crazy. The idea that we can control the climate is so blatantly idiotic that I feel like laughing hysterically; trouble is, it’s not really funny, and I would be locked away with the crazy people in the state hospital.

This stems from the Secular Humanist movement. “There is no God, only Man”; with this mentality, the enviromental wackos seem to believe that man is in charge of everything, and therefore can change everything. As a person of Faith, I reject this notion; I believe the vast majority of Americans do as well, because contrary to what the idiot in chief says, we ARE a nation of Judeo-Christian people, with Judeo-Christian values. We believe that a Higher Power IS in charge, and has not left the building.

There is no way that this legislation will do anything; not one thing for the environment, but it will be devastating to our economy, and our individual pocketbooks.

By all means call your representatives, but be prepared for the worst; I believe it’s going to get ugly-uglier than it already is.

I am passionate about a few things, and one is the Constitution of the United States of America. I wonder how many of Americans have actually read it, or hopefully, the entire Constitution.

Most of us had to memorize the Preamble in high school:
“WE THE PEOPLE of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

I was struck by how much our Founding Fathers wanted this preliminary paragraph to tells us.
Not only do they by the first three words tell us who’s in charge,  they spell out all the things that they planned for the Constitution to do. They want to secure all these blessings to their posterity–to you and I; then comes the interesting part to me, they “do ordain and establish this Constitution…”
Now, ordain means to order, I understand that, but I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and in my faith, ordain has a different meaning, as I believe it does in many ecclesiastical circles; to ordain means to set apart for God, or for God’s work.

It struck me that the Founders wanted us to know that THEY believed the Constitution was a Divine document; that they wanted this nation set apart for God.
We have a book of modern revelation called the Doctrine and Covenants. I know this book to be of Divine origin. In section 101 verse 80 the Lord says “And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.”
The Lord has told us straight forwardly that HE established the Constitution; He raised these men up for this purpose. The Constitution IS of Divine origin; the Founding Fathers KNEW this, and their wording suggests that they wanted US to know this; to remember this.

We have pushed God out of every arena in our so called modern society. We worship things instead of Him. We can allow condoms in school, but not Prayer. We have allowed the secular humanist movement to have a larger voice, despite Christianities larger numbers. We Christians tend to take a pacifist attitude, and in so doing have let the minions of the Adversary walk all over us and force God out of the center of society. 

My point here is to help us all to remember that God ordained this country by the raising up of wise men to establish the Constitution of the United States of America. We have an obligation as the beneficiaries of these blessings and liberties to learn, teach and uphold the Constitution.
Then, we have to speak up, write letters, and get involved in even the smallest way. We can no longer sit back and be silent. This is the only way we can combat the rising tsunami of Socialism/Communism/Fascism that continues to wash over the country.
