The Obama Swindle

The whole purpose of this post is to point to Raymond S. Kraft's post at New Media Journal

The Great Obama Swindle of 2008


The Contract between the people and our government is the US Constitution.

We must be allowed redress of our grievances.

That's not the ConstitutionThat I Knew

You do not have to be a student of the US Constitution to know that something is very, very wrong with the latest revelations in Barack Obama's views about our founding documents.

Should he be elected, Barack Obama would have to swear allegiance to the United States of America and to the US Constitution.

Now we have heard the audio tapes on redistribution and how he feels that our Constitution is "flawed", that "there is an enormous blind spot overlooked by the founding fathers", that they basically got it wrong and that a huge opportunity was missed during the civil rights movement to rectify the situation by the Warren Supreme Court.

Just how will Obama be able to take an Oath to defend America and our Constitution when he believes that both are fundamentally bad? Will he have his fingers crossed over the good book or maybe cross his toes inside his Patton leathers out of sight to his gallery of adoring fans summoned to commemorate his triumph?

I am not parsing words as he does. Obama is guilty by the preponderance of evidence in his words and in his actions in working to change the fundamentals of our country. He would admit as much before running for President. What he will not admit is that his change of redistribution
is social engineering, in other words socialism. In other words Marxism!

The beauty of our Constitution is the concept of limited government that keeps the power in the hands of "We the People" and does limit the power that the government can exert on us. This is not how Obama wants it to be at all.

How does Obama want to change us? He wants to "improve" our Constitution. He wants Justices that will interpret the Constitution to infer rights rather than preserve them. That one aspect would effectively seize power from the people and give it to a few unelected
justices to fabricate unimaginable law.

That is neither preserving or defending our Constitution, that is subverting it.

This outcome would be no different than an attack by a domestic enemy, the document is not just a political paper, it is our principles and our law. Obama thinks our Constitution is just a "paving political document" but is too flawed to be considered capable of basing our society on!
Why? It does not actively confer additional socialism solutions!

The "white executive does not want to pay taxes to inner city school children" and the government should therefore step in and make them! Does this sound like a statement from someone who is interested in preserving rights?

Redistribution of income mandated by a government is Marxism. Every society that has attempted to impose this system has ended up with a less efficient society with a more dependent citizenry, inflated prices, and high unemployment in comparison to our capitalistic economy.

This upheaval in the midst of an emerging global economy will wreck total and possibly permanent damage to our economy.

Not only should this man not be elected he should be banned from holding any elective office due to his extreme views and his expressed desire to attack our Constitution in order to change it or destroy it. This is tyranny, and must be stopped.

It is only responsible to have serious reservations on this man's allegiance to this country.
I am tired of the unwillingness to state this now apparent stance. Obama does not care for either our country or our Constitution as it is. His view is that our own Constitution is unjust and always has been!

The Constitution is our law and it has served us well to become the greatest country ever on the face of the earth! America has been the greatest defender of freedom and liberty throughout the world. America is the most generous country helping millions on the globel.

Obama doesn’t think this is a great country! Obama does not like our Constitution that is the very reason we have liberty and freedom.

Under Obama liberty and freedom lose.

Sweet Land of Liberty

Sweet Land of Liberty~

America is the home of the brave and the land of the free; America deserves nothing less.
All of our citizens have unalienable rights granted by God and guaranteed by our U.S. Constitution. The leader of our country must have a song in their heart, the enduring song of freedom and liberty. Without this joy for our country, they are not fit to lead us.

My country, 'tis of Thee,
Sweet Land of Liberty
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From every mountain side
Let Freedom ring.

***

The first verse celebrates both Liberty and Freedom in our song My Country Tis of Thee. From the start we have fought for both of these principles. No American can ever allow anyone to deny either to themselves or their posterity.

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills,
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.

***

We love our nation and our heart belongs here at all times. We have such a beautiful country to be grateful for. We use our freedom and liberty for noble purposes, not because we must but because we want to.

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet Freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

***

We are free to succeed or free to fail. We have freedom to speak and freedom to pray as we see fit. We are free to share and free to grow. We are free to own our property.

Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of Liberty,
To thee we sing,
Long may our land be bright
With Freedom's holy light,
Protect us by thy might
Great God, our King.

***

We recognize the source of our strength comes from God and we always have. Our country is full of shrines to freedom, liberty and to God. Our country is founded on principles and morals that have served us well.

Our glorious Land to-day,
'Neath Education's sway,
Soars upward still.
Its hills of learning fair,
Whose bounties all may share,
Behold them everywhere
On vale and hill!

***

We have always sought to improve our country so as to become a more perfect nation while keeping our morals and principles intact. We have always changed because we have always learned and grown. Our country is young but strong and vibrant. Yes, She is glorious!

Thy safeguard, Liberty,
The school shall ever be,
Our Nation's pride!
No tyrant hand shall smite,
While with encircling might
All here are taught the Right
With Truth allied.

***

We have always asked for Gods help in remembering our duties to freedom and liberty. All opportunity comes with obligation. Truth must always be sought and displayed to safeguard against those who would seize power for their own purpose in conflict to the freedom and liberty of our people.

Beneath Heaven's gracious will
The stars of progress still
Our course do sway;
In unity sublime
To broader heights we climb,
Triumphant over Time,
God speeds our way!

***

We look to a higher power than man for our guidance. When gratitude slips away, a people can stray off course. We will regain our way by observing His guidance. Taking one mans liberty to give it to another robs one man and gives nothing not already possessed by the other.

Grand birthright of our sires,
Our altars and our fires
Keep we still pure!
Our starry flag unfurled,
The hope of all the world,
In peace and light impearled,
God hold secure!

We are one nation under God. We are not "citizens of the world", yet we are the hope of the world. We cannot allow self segregating satellite societies to be formed, that will not respect all freedom and liberty's. This is not a change envisioned by our forefathers, nor all whom have fought and died to defend this united country formed of the people, by the people and for the people. Our leader must be able to sing our song in his heart and not try to change our song into one of another. Our leader cannot destroy, in order to build our country anew. Tearing down one mans house to build another's is not in our moral or principled makeup. "Spreading the wealth" as if Robin Hood unifies nobody.

Martin Luther King said:

"Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children."

King talked of our nation and our brotherhood as Gods creations. He said;

"Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring—when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children—black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics—will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"

What King preached was love for God, country and all men are created equal and should be treated equally.

Our leader cannot have it in his heart to exploit those in weakened states to rise up collectively to take down the strong thereby metaphorically leveling out life. When tall mountains are razed and smaller knolls mounded until all are level, no liberty and freedom remain. Only a scarred and desolately ruined landscape would remain. This is not a path to greatness or prosperity.
This is not hope for the future this is disaster and not a future at all for our children.
How could this fit into the Sweet Land of Liberty ? It will never fit!

No, our leader must be willing to sing our song proudly, to salute our flag outwardly, and appreciate liberty and freedom fully.

Anyone who cannot must never try to lead us.

The War of Gratitude

Increasingly, I see a struggle for power that is based on the message that our recent leaders have dropped the ball and so under them we have suffered.

If that can be established as a given truth, than it follows that people will be amenable to change whether or not the actual change has been spelled out with specifics.

People are constantly polled on their attitudes, how they feel on certain issues, and their degree of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Two parties with a near perfect match in terms of social-economic circumstances may have a completely opposite attitude than their match.

What matters are his or her present attitude about life and circumstances.
Many factors go into what shaped a particular attitude in an individual but how they got there is not as important as where they currently are as far as politics go.

The power of knowing where they are is extremely important if you hope to convince them to listen to an idea.

This brings me to my main point. There is a median point in the attitude a person has and it often determines what position one will adopt. The amount of this feeling seems to directly tie into the amount of happiness present in one's life. Should you come to believe that you have no cause to possess this feeling, than you will most certainly feel unhappy. However if you do feel this, than more likely than not you are happy.

This feeling is gratitude.

This choice being made in this election cycle is based on this one feeling, as it always is. However, the lack of this feeling of gratitude is being exploited like never before.

A whole lot of people have been convinced that they have absolutely nothing to be grateful for by a man that was told that himself early on in his life.

He has the peoples ear; they are listening. When you feel that you have nothing to be grateful for, you will naturally want to change those circumstances.

You are susceptible to wanting change and you are going to hope for it.

Unfortunately we live in a world that bombards us constantly with negative messages. Many people do not stop to smell the roses. Some never count their blessings. Others still look with envy upon others that seem to have better.

If you are lucky enough to have born in this country you were automatically blessed with something to be grateful for. You were born into the greatest country ever seen on Gods green earth. You have a system of government that is of the people, by the people, and for the people.
You enjoy a standard of living that is the envy of the rest of the world, even the very poor live much better here than most of the rest of the worlds poor.

In order to be appreciative or grateful though first you must be able to see it. Some people are reminded by their faith some are reminded in other ways. Chances are if you are appreciative than you are also positive about the future. This does not mean you have to have money either. The old adage goes the best things in life are free.

Those that are not appreciative in life may have been at one time, and than something happened where they no longer feel that way. Almost everyone though is grateful for something in different degrees.

But this year we have someone who is very effectively telling folks they have nothing what-so-ever to be grateful for now but not to worry. Follow him and you will get the change you are looking for. Now he has planted the seed of hope and you are grateful.

This is absolutely powerful. Now, like magic, someone dynamic has come along and elevated your gratitude with little effort on your part. You actually missed the first step of the process though.
Armed with that information of where you are(on the satisfaction scale) he used that to convince you it was hopeless first. Due to the current leadership, of course. Once everyone was nodding their heads in agreement on what they didn't have( due to someone else) he made you feel grateful that he was going to change that for you and he asked for your help in doing so. This was repeated all over the country in a process called duplication.

Another name for this of course is marketing, and it is no accident that his campaign manager has this background.

People who are already grateful for what they see they have, do not understand how this all could of happened. How can all the Marxist ideals and acquaintances be ignored by so many people? What about his truly scary lack of experience? What about all the dishonesty and thug like, almost ruthless tendencies to suppress dissent or silence critics? What about the blatant fraud? How could people be ignoring all of this?

I explained what happened above. It also happens to follow along with Rules for Radicals.

It worked with him before and he knew it would work again.

When you have a country that can say "I support our troops but I don't support their mission", you know you have a lot of people lacking gratitude. Imagine if the troops themselves thought that. You could not make such a statement and have real appreciation for the job our troops do.

The last part of the campaign is called closing the deal, and it is no surprise that these previous tactics do not seem to work on those last critical voters he needs. I think it is also due to gratitude. People that do feel appreciative are not easily convinced that they need change.
This is why the last stages of the game have been filled with so many pot sweeteners, which he carefully words but has no real intentions to fulfill.

The idea of inevitability comes into play at this time too. If people feel its hopeless and give up
it's like gaining votes for himself. Our very ungrateful and complacent media will give it their all in this effort.

Those of us that are grateful know we must fight on to preserve our country, our freedom, and liberty. We know we have much to be grateful and appreciative for. We don't take what we have for granted and are not likely to fall into the same trap.

Yes we are in a war over gratitude. One side has real gratitude and one side has manipulated gratitude. Those who take the time to think about what they should appreciate will know how to decide!

The Unclear but Present Danger

Anyone that has not read the recent article from Townhall.com by Laura Hollis needs to do so.

I explained Obama's positions to my teenager this way.

I said in a couple of years you will be able to move out on your own and you would have the freedom to make your own decisions.

Do you have that plan?

Suppose instead of doing that you were required to live at home?

You will be taken care of and all your decisions will be made by us!
You will work but you will hand over your entire paycheck to us.
We will decide what you need.
We will decide if and when you need college and where it will be.
We will decide if and when you date.
We will decide if you drive and what you drive and where you go and who you see.
We will decide what stuff you have.

In other words you traded freedom for security.

Your decision was final....sorry!

Your friends at school that are ga-ga over Obama know this?

Whom to trust as the leader of the free world?

This election is about who should we trust with power to lead the free world.

Protecting Liberty and Freedom

No arsenal ... is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.~ Ronald Reagan

The Political Art of Ignoring the American Will

It has become a normal sequence of events in recent years for politicians to ignore what they hear the American people say.
If;
We say no to gay marriage, we are ignored.
We say not to bigger government, we are ignored.
We say no to illegal immigration, we are ignored.
We say no to wasteful spending, we are ignored.
We say no to higher taxes, we are ignored.
We say no to restrictions against religion in public places, we are ignored.
We say no to abortion as birth control, and we are ignored.
We so no to government financial bail-out, we are yet again, ignored!

We than are subjected to the tag team politician-media spin on how we are heard, but why we are wrong, and they will patiently explain it to our feeble little minds.

If we really scream and shout all at once the issue becomes tabled for the time being. Behind the scenes our determined politicians look for new ways to sneak the issue into a bill somewhere or a new strategy to have it resurface later when the "heat is off".

Sometimes the issue just cannot be slipped in as a bill and it is handed off for the lawyers to fight over. Once in the courts the will of the people can really be ignored. Accountability ends at the nomination process. The court will either decide to act with restraint within existing law(as it should) or it will act to "make law" in which case not only are we ignored, but are than without recourse.

We hear all the time that conservatism is dead... because the Republican brand is damaged. Yes, we are angry at our party, but it is because our conservative values are being ignored by these politicians. If you had not ignored us and fought for what we want, we would not be on the edge of the cliff where we now find ourselves.

Habeus Corpus rights for terrorists?
Private property seized by the government so they can raise their tax base?
Boy Scouts being sued for believing in a higher power?
Illegal aliens receiving free college education over actual citizens?
Kindergarten sex education?

A few years ago few could have imagined these horrifying changes to our culture and our liberty and freedom. However, these politicians are just warming up. Having learned the art of ignoring us they now feel unencumbered in what they can impose.

How does 100% taxes sound?
How about killing live birth babies or the sick or the elderly?
New currency and coinage with the motto "In God we Trust" removed?
Mandatory attendance of government service camps?
Socialized health care?
Amnesty for Illegals approved and extended?

I would go on with this list but these politicians don't need any more bright ideas! Instead of trying to join in with the socialists the American people want you to fight. If you ignore this as seems to be your way than you will pay the price on election day. Given the choice between a slow excruciating painful death or a quick and painless death most of prefer the latter.
Our actual choice is life, but that requires something that the politicians can not seem to manage,
a simple little task. Stop ignoring the American people!

America slips beneath the waves?

In the Autumn of 2008 -We may be witnessing the tilting point in Americas history.


Election fraud is being discovered daily on a systemic level thought never to be possible except in very corrupt local governments or third world countries. Fraud incorporated into a strategy of a party and a built-in mechanism of advantage protected by nonsensical court rulings and funded unwittingly by the American people. One of many torpedo's striking our hull.

Non traditional media reports, meanwhile a fully compliant liberal media campaigns for one side and against the other.
Lookouts with arrogance, but without honest souls.

The biggest economic financial fiasco caused by government intervention is being handed off to the very pirates that continuously pushed the calamity.

A pirate will act as if he is need, and in the blink of his patched eye will turn on you. One minute your hauling them aboard and the next you are bound and keel-hauled by him!
In some eerily similar ways that is what is happening to us now.

We have soldiers fighting and dying to protect our liberty and freedom. It is easy to find an ignoramus repeat the mantra, they don't believe in any war almost as a rote statement without any real thought or knowledge of history behind their words. Mutineers whom expect to be saved but are unwilling to save any but themselves.

This great country is being intentionally divided along ideological lines and our sovereignty may soon be simply given over to the rest of the world by people intent to impose change . On one side we aim for the deep and safe water while the other decides to steer for the shallow bottom shredding reefs. The skull and crossbones hoisted in the name of the new global socialism.

The U.S. Constitution is being ambushed and attacked from nearly every direction
by the very people that hope to take over and supposedly swear allegiance to it. Our rudder that has kept us on course for so long. They wish to fix it in a permanent manner so only they may decide if and when it is employed.


It has been predicted since our founding as a country that if a democracy is to survive we must be ever vigilant to a suicidal tendency that the electorate will vote to give more and more control away to the government. This leads to tyranny.

“Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny”

-Thomas Jefferson

"Freedom is not something to be secured in any one moment of time. We must struggle to preserve it every day. And freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction."

– Ronald Reagan, 1967

There is a plan unfolding and it is designed by sinister anti-American folks. All the warning signs are present.
The Ayers/Obama cooperative is twenty years in the making. We may not be able to connect all the the dots in time enough to prevent the complete flipping over of our previously stable ship.
Distraction, disinfectant and deceit have allowed for a ballast shift that has changed our center of gravity. This insidious betrayal has been achieved almost without people noticing, but now we are becoming aware. Without a strong counter weight provided by the Traditional Americans working in unison against this heavy list, we may capsize completely.

S.O.S.~is for Save our Ship, it is issued as a last resort. We cannot allow them to take control of our ship, our country. We must act together and we must act fast! We are in real trouble!
It is time to issue one loud and clear lest America sink for ever beneath the waves.

What children learn about lying

If you are like me, than you were raised to believe that lying is wrong!

Not only is it harmful to others but it is harmful to you. A small lie takes on a life of it's own and it becomes increasingly difficult to hide the original deceit. Thus a small lie is hidden behind more and more lies in a never ending web that requires a creative and sinister belief that you can bury the original lie behind the stack of new ones.

Eventually though the house of cards comes tumbling down! Not only is the original lie exposed but the elaborate web of deceit unravels exposing the character of the liar and his or her dishonesty. Those that witness the deceit learn not to trust the liar to provide truthful information. That person is now thought to be lacking and is not credible.

My parents also taught me something else. If you know the truth but actively hide it and this is hurting others than this too is a form of lying. This form of lying can be easier to disguise because it requires one thing, a continued silence. Many people excuse this as there are sometimes good reasons to stay silent. Speaking out may be risky. Speaking out may bring unwanted attention and have consequences on your life that you did not ask for.

Right now I see both forms of lying hurting this country. I wonder how much harm the silence is causing. I wonder how much bigger the web of deceit will grow. The consequences of these lies will not only hurt people now but may hurt people for generations to come. The people doing this lying have a huge stake in being credible. Sadly, they do not seem to care.

Media, your short term goal of electing someone as your candidate has a critical price. You have already paid that price with me, you may not care now, but, the price is permanent and you will learn that I am hardly alone in no longer trusting you. You were entrusted with one main responsibility and you have failed in using that power responsibly.

You see, I have had cause to check the facts of your stories. What I find reveals who you are, and it reveals you to be a liar. Yes, I am talking about you our formerly trusted media.
I am giving you notice. You are fired! You are gone with cause. An egregious dereliction of duty and the deliberate and orchestrated deception of the American people. You have a few co-defendants also in Hollywood and the concert circuits and the late night comedy shows. They too are busted, services no longer required. Please take them with you!

The "lost ones"( that still believe you) must continue to be subject to your lying manipulations in order to appease them. Good luck with that. Remember, as our parents told us, "It is a house of cards!" It is hurting people and it will hurt you when it comes tumbling down.

Four more years of lying is a very impossible task even in a Marxist society! Millions of people whom have only known freedom and liberty will not be silenced or fall into line with a leader who is a liar, nor a media that deceives us and attacks the actual truth.

The loss of jobs caused by higher taxes, the crippling of an economy due to asinine environmental policies, the giveaway of billions for UN scam programs, the socializing of government and the false promises of entitlement, the cultural breakdown that leads to chaos,
the making of laws in our courts that subverts our Constitution, all of these....and many more
cannot be ignored nor lied away. Half of us already realize the liars you are, and eventually a lot more will wake up out of their zombie state and realize the trouble that you have helped wrought upon this great nation.

Journalism should be left to those with sensible parents. Parents that teach their children right from wrong. Obviously you media have gone to long without adult supervision. Obviously your parents never explained the difference between right and wrong. The consequences of your lack of integrity have transformed into the greatest threat that this nation has ever faced since the early days of it's inception. That threat is the total destruction of our country from within!

The truth about Barack Obama is that a whole tangle of lies are being fabricated to hide the truth.
The information is being hidden with more lies and silence.
The people tasked to give us the truth are those doing the lying.

Most children know better than to lie!
