The First One Hundred Days
Apr 25, 2009 Political
April 29 will mark Barama’s first one hundred days in office. Gee, it seems like yesterday- we were full of hope, gleaming, fresh- washed faces turned towards the Sainted One, seeking his blessings—– oh wait- wrong delusion, that was the liberal version: Let’s try again.
It seems like yesterday, when people ran screaming into the streets, yelling the socialists are coming, the socialists are coming! Oh crud, it’s no nightmare, they really are here, and they are busy embedding themselves like a lyme- diseased tick into the backside of America, sucking the life out of free enterprise.
It is theft of not just money, which is criminal, a la Jack Murtha and his little airport, but hope, since people who want to start a small business will be told how much money they will be permitted to make before onerous taxes kick in, and these small business people have to pay for the socialistic programs Barry proposes. Those in government will be exempt from these petty things, of course- those rules are for the little people.
The fact that the banks who want to give back the TARP funds are not being allowed to do so is an unbelievable interference by government in our free enterprise system. It’s breathtakingly Mafia- like in its stench of extortion.
I was talking to one of the bankers I do business with- after all, I keep what little money I still have there, I might as well see if my bank took the TARP.
She told me that yes, they were “asked” in a very blunt way that they would take the money, even though they did not need the money.
Since then, especially since the rules changed, and the govt. had changed their “Preferred”, or non- voting stock to “common”, or voting stock, this bank had been trying to give the money back, but the government had refused to take it, saying that they had voting power, and they intended to use it.
This is unwarranted and illegal interference in free enterprise and the commerce of the United States, but the Barama administration believes that if they control the banks, they will control the nation.
They need to watch out- overreaching, extending tyrannical claws into this much of American life, could very well backfire.
Remember the Czars? Not the wimps that Barry appoints, the real deal, from Russia. It seems these people thought they could control the people also. The Czars, or as it should be spelled, the Tsars, thought that if they kept a lid on their people, kept them under strict control, they would stay in power.
Well, they were overthrown- seems the people wanted change they could believe in- instead they got totalitarian control under a different name, Communism. And this is coming again, just slower. No bloody corpses, just CEOs thrown out of their jobs, with the “people’s” government sitting in their seats. A bloodless usurping of power.
Same basic result, just a kinder, gentler coup.
Now, not many Presidents like to be judged on their first one hundred days- JFK even inserted words in his inaugural speech, to the effect that results might not be seen in his administration’ s term- and he was right, but unfortunately not for the reasons he thought.
The reason that the hundred days thing came about is that it is catchy, in a newsbite sense, but also because the public begins to get a sense of the direction the President wants the country to go. The direction THIS one wants the country to go, is so so wrong for this country- it turns on its ear the way that virtually everything in this country has worked in the last two hundred and thirty two years. Now, that’s a life style change that is fairly entrenched, and one that will be hard to change. You need to ask yourself- is this business model a good thing to change? After all, it worked fine until the Democrats began to alter the rules, just to try for more votes.
The Democrats were too dumb to know that there are rules for a reason,and it’s not the “class warfare” they talk about every time there is an election. These rules are there to protect BOTH SIDES in a transaction, and these rules are not arbitrary, they have been thought out over time.
The Democrats couldn’t have done better if they had meant to, except that while they are not smart enough to have done this intentionally, they WERE quick to take advantage of the opening they created, jumping into this chasm of uncontrolled greed and loose rules.
” Oh, WE will regulate this mess (that we created, but ssshhhhh-), don’t you worry. Plus, if you vote in the next five minutes, (because we can’t do this all day), we will throw in FREE, a faux tax rebate (which we will take back by charging more in hidden taxes) that will be yours. Just pay for shipping, handling and we will be glad to scrape off all those troublesome liberties and freedoms that hang around, and take control of your life, because we are the only people smart enough to know what is good for you. We will regulate what you eat, how cool or warm you can be in your own house, what medical care you need (because WE know just how much pain you can stand), we will tell you what your ideal weight should be, and how much beer you can drink, keep you from smoking cigarettes, cause you to drive less ( don’t EVEN think about seeing the USA in a Chevrolet), and make you eat your broccoli.
Sounds ridiculous, huh? Unfortunately it is not that far off of the mark- some of what I wrote is already in the works- the cigarette tax is designed not only to bring in money, but punish those who choose to smoke. Many of these people are poor, but Barry doesn’t care. He gets his cigarettes free. He doesn’t have to pay for the thousands of gallons of fuel he spews everywhere when he gets the urge for a photo op.
Make fast food prohibitive in cost with a sin tax, and a restrictive business environment. This is how they roll- they want to force change in people’s habits, because they truly believe that they know better than we the people just what we the people need.
What absolute arrogance, and all in the first one hundred days.

Obama’s DHS Targets Right Wing
Apr 13, 2009 Political
The Obama Department of Homeland Security has a report out that targets what is described as Right Wing extremism. In the report there are discussions about radical right wing groups like returning veterans and skinheads. The definition of a radical right wing group can be a single issue thing like those opposed to abortion. I never saw where those in favor of abortion were labeled as radical left wing extremists.
(U) Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.
I imagine that only the right is involved in hate.
This is another attempt by a governmental agency to paint the right as a bunch of hate mongering racists. The entire premise behind the report is that right wingers are upset that a black guy was elected to the presidency.
Pam at Atlas Shrugs has a very long list of the supposed things to worry about with regard to the right wing, those radical people who have been keeping America safe since her birth (while bed wetting liberals sucked their thumbs). I will focus on one particular item, gun control. This should make some of the liberals who comment here happy because they love when they can lie about Obama and his gun record.
The report states:
(U//FOUO) The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.
(U//FOUO) Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of rightwing extremist groups, as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for violence against the government. The high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by rightwing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law enforcement. [all emphasis mine]
The DHS is admitting in the report that there are proposed firearms restrictions and weapons bans. There is no room for them to deny this or say it is out of context. It does not say that if there were a gun ban it clearly states that PROPOSED imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans and it says that because the Obama administration wants to do just that.
The DHS is classifying the right as a bunch of military veterans, hate groups, and skinheads who want to cause trouble because of the first black guy being president. They point to one incident that happened in Oklahoma and try to say it represents all of the right wing. Veterans should be especially weary of these people because they will be gunning for you, so to speak.
Pam Geller has much more on this and she points out a lot of items. I only focused on the gun issues because this is the way they start. Make a group an enemy and show it is violent, demonize it and then show that guns must be removed in order to keep them from causing trouble. Jews went through this in Nazi Germany. And you all wonder why people are buying guns and ammo. It is because government trying to make us the enemy.
I will say this. I find it very disturbing that the Obama administration under its Nazis in DHS would classify the right as full of extremists and point to the Oklahoma City bombing as some sort of proof that a right wing extremist cabal exists and that extreme care should be taken to keep the right wingers from causing problems but ignores the attacks of 9/11 as proof of a Islamic Radical extremists. It seems that we go out of our way to say that we are not at war with Islam and that Islam did not attack America and all the other crap we have heard as politicians groveled at the feet of Muslims. We cannot say that Islam is at war with America or make broad generalizations but the DHS can write a whole report about right wing extremism based on a bombing of a federal building by a nut.
Islamic attacks on 9/11, just a bunch of misunderstood muzzies who we somehow ticked off. Oklahoma City bombing, a right wing extremist movement that shows all veterans are out to destroy the country they took an oath to protect…
Read the entire report. It shows what your government is up to. It demonstrates how the Saul Alinsky group of Socialists running this country intend to demonize American citizens, many of them veterans, and try to force gun laws in order to get what they want and squash any opposition.
They better hope it never comes to that.
As for the report. It is labeled Unclassified/For Official Use Only and I don’t know who obtained it or anything like that. It is not for distribution outside the government (mostly because they want to hide their Nazi activities) but since it is public I will provide the link. I do not have it on my server and do not want it there.
If they wanted it to be a secret they should have guarded it better. In any event, I am glad it is public. People need to know what the thugs in DHS, under the direction of Obama, are doing.

The Democratic Party Left The Chavez Family
Oct 30, 2008 Political
The Democratic party was once a great party in this country. It stood for the common man and it laid claim to proud veterans who served this country in uniform and then as civilian elected officials. The party might have had positions that ran contrary to what I and most other conservatives believe but they had a platform and they stuck to it. Then the party started to go downhill. They were infiltrated by Communists in the 50s and after JFK (who was not great, just popular) they have had platforms that have become increasingly Socialist. Under decades of Democrat control of government welfare has increased and social spending has skyrocketed. Items that they promise to fix never get attention. Education, health care, poverty and any number of other things are discussed before the election but then forgotten after. Their social policies created the environment where this economic meltdown occurred and now that money is tight they want to cut defense spending by 25%. Defense spending is about 25% of the entire budget. Most goes to social programs. Top this off with their horrific stance on the murder of unborn children and it is easy to see that the party has left its better days behind.
Ronald Reagan was a Democrat but he became a Republican and he declared that he did not leave his party, his party left him. I read a letter to the editor of the University of New Mexico Daily Lobo that was written by an alumnus named Steve Chavez. It is a telling letter and I think it expresses the same sentiments that Reagan did with regard to the Democratic Party:
Editor,
For the first time since the big bang, all my immediate family are defecting from the Democratic Party to vote for John McCain and Republicans for Congress and Senate. Why?
The Republicans had a wide variety of candidates to choose from, which included the far right to McCain, who was labeled as “too liberal” by the Republicans. The Democrats, on the other hand, seemed to stack the deck with presidential and congressional candidates such as Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich, who started on the left, reached to the far left and then went beyond to the Twilight Zone. Take for instance the top three presidential candidates: Barack Obama voted No. 1 Liberal, Hillary Clinton No. 2 and Biden at No. 3. But what’s interesting is who is No. 4. He is Bernie Sanders, an Independent from Vermont who is also an admitted socialist and a frequent speaker at Communist Party USA conventions along with many other Democrats in Congress, including Maxine Waters, of the “Out of Iraq Caucus,” who meets with peace groups like United for Peace & Justice, which is run by Leslie Cagan and Judith LeBlanc of the Communist Party USA.
Another issue concerning my Catholic family is Obama’s stance on abortion. Two in my family have been pro-choice until now. Our Republican sister brought up a serious point during our last Easter picnic. She told us the story of Jill Stanek, a Chicago nurse who found a baby from a botched abortion in a janitor’s room left to die alone. She could not help the choking baby survive due to the extreme policy of the hospital, so she held the baby and had to watch it suffer for 45 minutes until the baby died. How many other babies are left in the closet to die alone after being born? Stanek has been revealing that Obama voted “no” to the Born Alive amendment four times. That’s beyond pro-choice when a baby is born, isn’t it? You can read more about her story at JillStanek.com and the exact Obama votes and excuses.
Many in my family are veterans, and in 2004, they voted for President Bush and the Iraq War. They will now vote for a fellow veteran, McCain, who was tortured by Communists in Vietnam while Jane Fonda, John Kerry and the Communist-led peace movement were literally spitting on them. They couldn’t possibly vote for Obama since he is aligned, supported and funded by the same movement that continues to spit on the troops. When they heard the leaders of the peace movement say, “the terrorists are the real freedom fighters,” they took that as a stab in the back, as those “freedom fighters” are killing their fellow Americans.
My informed Republican sister asked, “Name me one moderate Democrat?” After an afternoon of Easter egg hunting, us life-long Democrats couldn’t think of one. She mentioned Joe Lieberman, Al Gore’s vice presidential candidate in 2000. He was kicked out of his own party for supporting the Iraq War. He is a liberal on 99 percent of issues, but that one issue was enough for him to be kicked out? He now supports McCain. Therefore, since McCain is a liberal Republican, which would be close to a moderate Democrat – which seems is a contradiction of terms – we must vote for the nearest thing to the middle road where most of us are. If you are voting for change for change’s sake, you will be voting for a ticket to the left of an admitted socialist. How can you be to the left of a socialist?
S. James Chavez
UNM alumnus
It would appear that the Chavez family feels that the party has, as it did Reagan, left them. The candidates for president were among the most liberal in the party and the eventual winner, Barack Obama, is the most liberal Senator in the country. He is 3 spaces left of a Communist supporter.
Barack Obama might very well become the next president of this country but I believe there are many families like the Chavez family that will decide that Barack Obama is not the right person for the job and that his views are too radical for this country.
The Chavez family is telling the Democratic party and its nominee to keep the change…
The Bailout Pork Bill And Responsibility
Oct 4, 2008 Political
The bailout bill just passed by the Congress and signed into law contained billions of dollars in Christmas Tree ornaments that had nothing to do with bailing anyone out. These items, including provisions for tax cuts, were added to entice politicians to vote for it. We have no business bailing out Wall Street and we have effectively taken 700 billion steps in the direction of Communism*.
I heard Jesse Jackson on Neil Cavuto’s show and Jackson said the bill did not go far enough (surprise) and that if we can give low interest loans to auto makers (we should not be doing that) we should be able to do the same for homeowners. Jackson contended that people should get low interest rate loans from the government in order to restructure their debt and continue to pay for their homes. He insisted that the predatory lending practices led to their problems. Cavuto told him that while some predatory lending took place people were the ones who signed the dotted line. He said they needed to take responsibility for their actions and if they wanted to renegotiate it was up to them to do it with the people from whom they obtained their loans.
This is absolutely correct. Homeowners need to renegotiate with their lenders to get a better deal. It is not up to taxpayers to lend money to them regardless of whether they will pay it back or not. If they default then taxpayers will be left holding the bag (much as we are with Freddie and Fannie loans). Jackson wants to take personal responsibility away from people and have big government come in and take care of them. We no more belong doing that than we belong taking care of bankers or auto makers.
The market should be allowed to react in whatever direction the crisis leads it. People and businesses with money can come in and buy up failing businesses or they can go away. Allow the market to handle the crisis and leave the politicians who caused the problems out of it.
If Jackson thinks people have no responsibility in the contracts that they make and that government should bail them out then we should have some provisions which include a loss of voting rights if you become a ward of the government. If you are not able to understand a contract to buy a home and can be easily swayed then you are unable to understand the voting system and can be just as easily manipulated.
The bottom 50% of wage earners pay only about 4% of the taxes in this country so they will not be affected by the bailout as much as those who will see tax increases in order to pay for this mess. The voting system needs to be changed so that people are afforded more votes if they pay more in taxes. Perhaps each person gets one vote and then people get an additional vote for every $5000 in taxes that they pay. The people who pay for this country should have a greater say in how it is governed much like stockholders in a company who have more votes if they have more stock.
Whether Wall Street executives or distressed homeowners, the philosophy is the same; live with your decisions. If they cause you problems then you can work your way out and be all that much stronger for it.
If government steps in and fixes your bad decisions you will continue to make them. We get more of what we subsidize.
*I heard this phrase on TV but do not know who said it.

Obama Opposes First And Second Amendment
Sep 28, 2008 Political
Barack Hussein Obama is against the First and Second Amendments to the United States Constitution and he denying the use of one to silence information about the other. Barack Obama has held anti gun views throughout his political career. He favors bans on handgun sales, bans on most hunting ammunition and bans on many of the rifles and shotguns we use to participate in sport. Make no mistake about it, despite the nuances and lies of the campaign, Obama has a history of opposing gun ownership. His support of the Heller decision runs counter to his claims of supporting the DC gun ban. Obama will say anything now that he realizes that he needs the gun clingers to win this election.
So, in order to win Obama will trample on our rights. It has been previously reported that the Obama campaign has been working with law enforcement in Missouri in order to harass people who say things about Obama that are considered to be a lie. This is illegal and reflects the kind of tactics one would expect from a Communist leader, not someone who wants to be the leader of a FREE country. The Obama campaign is taking its suppression of rights two steps farther.
Obama’s lawyers have sent letters to broadcast stations in Ohio and Pennsylvania criticizing them for airing an NRA ad that they claim is full of lies (but is demonstrably full of true statements) and covertly threaten the broadcast license of the stations if they continue to air the ad. The Obama campaign is threatening the First Amendment right of the stations as well as the NRA (and therefore its members) in order to suppress Obama’s threat to the Second Amendment. The ad (embedded in this post and placed in my sidebar) demonstrates Obama’s threat to the Second Amendment and Obama does not want those who bitterly cling to their guns to see it. I encourage all bloggers who support the Second Amendment to put the video up on their blogs, Obama and his lawyers be damned.
Yes Barry, this is a reason not to vote for you. You found that out and are trying to use thuggery to suppress the people but it won’t work.
These thuggish acts are right out of the Chicago politics playbook and portray an ominous future in an Obama administration where people’s Second Amendment rights would be under attack as would those who dare to write or say anything about the “Dear Leader, Obama.” I doubt however, that the rogue leaders of the world would pay much attention to a letter from Obama’s lawyers expressing dissatisfaction over words used to describe the Dear Leader.
Barack Obama and his thugs are liars, they are miscreants who use strong armed tactics to run roughshod over people who disagree with them. Well screw them. We will not allow them to take away any of the rights enumerated in our Constitution. I took an oath to protect this country against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. Obama is a domestic enemy of our Constitution (who keeps company with domestic terrorists in this country) and we must stop him at all costs. The first method is by opposition to him and his lawyers and their demands, peacefully at first and then escalating to whatever level is necessary to stop the assault.
The second way is to ensure that this Communist is not elected to the presidency of this country. If that becomes a reality our rights will be under further assault.
And we will not allow that to happen no matter what we need to do to stop it.
For a guy who claims not to be a Muslim he sure acts like them when it comes to people saying or writing things he does not like.
