"New" Tea Party Rocks!



In what can only be described as a "first step", some three hundred ordinary Americans gathered this afternoon in Lafayette Square in the shadow of the White House to express their outrage over the runaway spending brought forth by the Obama Administration and Congress. Please join as we recount in photographs and words this historic occasion when decent, hard working Americans launched their new campaign to reclaim this great nation... CONTINUED...

Illegal? Lips Are Sealed

ACLU signs on immigrant rights to be posted in Transit buses


Signs in Jefferson Transit buses will offer legal advice, beginning in early March, compliments of the American Civil Liberties Union.

• If you're a U.S. citizens, you don't have to prove it.
• If you're not a U.S. citizen and are age 18 or older, you must show your immigration papers to federal agents.
• Everyone has the right to remain silent.

It would appear that the term "illegal", is irrelevant, and border agents, fence on the border, and any other references and resources toward preventing "illegals" from overrunning the country ... is a joke and a huge waste of money.

California Legalizing Marijuana?

High: The True Tale of American Marijuana (DVD)

With California's current fiscal crisis, a State Assembly from San Francisco is trying to legalize marijuana in the Golden State.

It would take marijuana in a similar manner to alcoholic beverages.

The bill is the first of it's kind in California and would allow taxed sales to adults over the age of 21.

Under Ammiano's proposal, marijuana would be taxed at a rate of $50 per ounce. It's estimated that tax could generate $1 billion into state coffers. SOURCE...

SPIN: A Potent Weapon


In our time, spin thrives in an age where most people get their information from television, radio and newspapers.

The internet has changed the world. It provides an opportunity to look at events from a different angle. But then again, we all have views of our own, whether or not they have been formed by the media. And so, we choose the websites we visit according to our views, limiting our horizons as we do so.

Spin is not a tool of psychological warfare. Rather, spin is an integral part of human nature, because a human brain is built to receive, process and project information, and that is why most thoughts are true but every spoken word is a lie.

But the natural character of spin doesn't cancel the fact that when someone wants the public to think in a certain way about a certain event, and that someone has enough money, power and influence, the natural effect of spin can be multiplied to become a potent weapon. And it can be a most destructive one, capable of killing the truth, of changing the way events are recorded and go down in history. SEE Spin-a-War...

"Commie Homo Loving ..."

"You Commie Homo Loving Sons of Guns"

"... I think it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame, and the shame in their grandchildren's eyes if they continue that way of support." - Penn

It's not shame to the children, they don't know any better. It's the lack of shame in the adults that continue to sexually educate the children at younger and younger ages.

Who keeps saying this?
"We're looking out for the kids. We have to protect the kids. It's all about the children and the grandchildren -- and their future." Blah Blah Blah

Is ANYONE really looking out for the kids? Does anyone really care about anything other than their own self-gratification?

Sex Education and condoms (indoctrination and permission) in the schools, Free Choice (promiscuity) w/o risk of birthing or accountability at any age ... Blah Blah Blah

What happened to the simple law of Public Lewdness and Indecency? The innocence of young children? Is there anything that is lewd or indecent anymore? No. Huh? Duh.

Specific interest groups, protected under "special" legislature, can target, harass and intimidate those with opposing views or values without repercussion. The media will assist in indoctrinating the general population with those views. However, attempting to counter or answer these attacks will subject you to the courts and more intimidation. (Huh? Duh)

It's not the "alternative" lifestyle that is objectionable. That's a personal choice. It is the method of aggressively promoting that lifestyle "in your face", in the public elementary schools to the young, and in homes through the public media.

With Reference to: Out - Male Masculinity
Any society that permits, condones and sanctions mass public displays OUT on the streets CELEBRATING a "behind closed doors" lifestyle with vulgar gestures, sadosexual conduct and lewd comments towards others not sharing the same values, and not wanting to participate in same is ... contributing to the general welfare of the nation and future generations. (Huh? Duh)

Required Textbook and Reading: Marquis de Sade
... espouses political ideas that were put into practice by such diverse figures as Joseph Stalin, Adolph Hitler and Fidel Castro. ... captures the drama of de Sade’s forays into human sexuality including such practices as voyeurism, fetishism, and, most famously, sadism. Vilified by critics in the 1800s as "Monstrous depraved. An odious book."

"It's Insane. Have People Gone Mad ..."

Serious New Charges
Alan Keyes making serious new charges.

In a video (see below) released Friday, Keyes, who lost to Obama in the 2004 U.S. Senate race in Illinois that launched the new president's national political career, calls Obama a communist and usurper ...

"HAVE PEOPLE GONE MAD IN THIS COUNTRY?"

The U.S. Constitution requires any president be born an American citizen.

In June, the Obama campaign released to The Ticket a copy of the then-senator's Hawaiian birth certificate (see the jump below and also here). But stubbornly persistent critics demand to see the original, which the state has refused to provide, citing personal privacy reasons.

And the critics, including Keyes explaining here, cite Obama relatives in Kenya as saying he was actually born there in his father's native land when his American mother was too young to pass on her U.S. citizenship.SOURCE...

President Reagan spoke of Keyes' time as an (U.N.) ambassador, saying that he "did such an extraordinary job ... defending our country against the forces of anti-Americanism." Reagan continued, "I've never known a more stout-hearted defender of a strong America than Alan Keyes."

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — George Mason University senior Ryan Allen dresses in drag and doesn't mind being called a queen — homecoming queen, to be exact.

Your Kids - So Sexy So Soon

So Sexy So Soon: The New Sexualized Childhood and What Parents Can Do to Protect Their Kids (Review)
An extremely disturbing trend is the counterfeit culture's sexualization of children. From early childhood through adolescence today's kids are bombarded with negative gender images and skewed messages about sexuality. Twenty years ago ~ it would have been unheard of, even unspeakable, for manufacturers to market thongs for seven year-old girls. Yet today, crazy as it is, that's what's happening. So Sexy So Soon provides many other equally distressing examples of how our innocents are now just cogs in the "sex sells" marketing wheel. The impact is profound. So Sexy So Soon demonstrates the critical urgency of the issue and beautifully articulates what can be done about it by parents and by all of us working together to stop this insidious form of child abuse.

Another Madoff

Like Bernard L. Madoff, who is accused of operating a $50 billion Ponzi scheme, Mr. Robert Allen Stanford (Stanford Financial Group in Houston) offered investment opportunities that sounded almost too good to be true: promises of lucrative returns on relatively safe certificates of deposit that were often more than twice the going rate offered by mainstream banks.

While regulators are not accusing Mr. Stanford of operating a Ponzi scheme, they claim Stanford Group lulled investors into believing the C.D. purchases were safe by advertising investments in “liquid” securities that could be bought and sold easily.

Unknown is the status of investments in as much as $8 billion in high-yielding certificates of deposit held in the firm’s bank in Antigua, which the Securities and Exchange Commission, in a civil suit, said Mr. Stanford and two colleagues fraudulently peddled to scores of investors. SOURCE...

George Washington - President's Day

President's Day - Feb 16
List of U.S. Presidents

George Washington (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799) led the Continental Army to victory over the Kingdom of Great Britain in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783) and served as the first President of the United States of America (1789–1797)

Washington is seen as a symbol of the United States and republicanism in practice. His devotion to civic virtue made him an exemplary figure among early American politicians.

Prophesied cashless society: It's almost here

This is a step that governments and banks have been trying to take for almost two decades without success.

There are good and logical reasons for the elimination of cash. It will essentially wipe out the cash dependent drug trade. It will remove the incentive behind most petty crimes. Paper money is dirty, spreads diseases and it is expensive to print and expensive to handle.

Electronic money addresses all of these issues in a single stroke. The difficulty rests in overcoming public resistance to the idea. But desperate times call for desperate measures, as the saying goes, and when the times get desperate enough, public resistance will evaporate like summer rain. SOURCE...

The WITCH and O'Reilly

Bill O'Reilly vs. The Women's Media Center

The WMC Demands an Apology from O'Reilly for Helen Thomas (witch) Insult

The Women’s Media Center was founded in 2005 as a non-profit progressive women's media organization by writers/activists Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem

Robin Morgan
During the 1960s, she participated in the civil rights and anti-war movements; in the late 1960s she was a founding member of radical feminist organizations such as New York Radical Women and W.I.T.C.H.. She also founded the Women's Media Center

Women's International Terrorist Conspiracy from Hell, shortened W.I.T.C.H.
Members of W.I.T.C.H. included Robin Morgan, a child television star in the 1950s and a member of the Youth International Party in the late 1960s, Florika, Peggy Dobbins, and Naomi Jaffe, who went on to join the Weather Underground Organization (Brownmiller 1999, 49). Soon after the breakup of W.I.T.C.H., Robin Morgan repudiated her New Left-aligned politics, and embraced a kind of radical feminism that was strongly opposed to "the male left".

Urgent Call to 'Buy Local'

Job developer Michael Shuman seeks to rebuild struggling communities with home-grown businesses.

For the past five years, Shuman has been barnstorming across the United States, preaching the gospel of economic "localism." It's an appeal to community values as well as economic self-interest, a call to support locally owned businesses that don't outsource, don't pack up their businesses and leave on a moment's notice, and who recycle their customers' dollars back into the community.

"In the current economic downturn, Americans are beginning to understand that their future prosperity lies in the community businesses down the street that employ their neighbors, pay the taxes, and promote local relationships and trust."

Stimulus "A Smooth Ride"

Dissenters of Despotism

. . . the main pillars of the Constitution; which we have shown to be inconsistent with the liberty and happiness of the people, as its establishment will annihilate the state governments, and produce one consolidated government that will eventually and speedily issue in the supremacy of despotism. SOURCE...

As the truth of this position is of such decisive importance, it ought to be fully investigated, and if it is founded to be clearly ascertained; for, should demonstrated, that the powers vested by this constitution in Congress, will have such an effect, as necessarily to produce one consolidated government, the question then will be reduced to this short issue, viz. whether satiated with the blessings of liberty; whether repenting of the folly of so recently asserting their unalienable rights, against foreign despots, at the expence of so much blood and treasure, and such painful and arduous struggles, the people of America are now willing to resign every privilege of freemen, and submit to the domination of an absolute government, that will embrace all America in one chain of despotism; or whether they will with virtuous indignation, spurn at the shackles prepared for them, and confirm their liberties by a conduct becoming freemen.

We dissent, secondly, because the powers vested in Congress by this constitution, must necessarily annihilate and absorb the legislative, executive, and judicial powers of the several states, and produce from their ruins one consolidated government, which from the nature of things will be an iron handed despotism, as nothing short of the supremacy of despotic sway could connect and govern these United States under one government.

We Are All Socialists Now - Newsweek

In many ways our economy already resembles a European one. As boomers age and spending grows, we will become even more French.

Whether we like it or not—or even whether many people have thought much about it or not—the numbers clearly suggest that we are headed in a more European direction.

If we fail to acknowledge the reality of the growing role of government in the economy, insisting instead on fighting 21st-century wars with 20th-century terms and tactics, then we are doomed to a fractious and unedifying debate. The sooner we understand where we truly stand, the sooner we can think more clearly about how to use government in today's world. SOURCE...

Stimulus Bill Could Kill You?

When you read through the nearly seven hundred pages of the House stimulus bill it is easy to begin dozing off after a few hundred billion dollars worth of run-of-the-mill wasteful government spending. One has to keep a keen eye out for the components of the bill that don't just steal your money, but that may actually do you great physical harm, if not kill you outright.

On page 151 of this legislative pork-fest is one of the clandestine nuggets of social policy manipulation that are peppered throughout the bill. Section 9201 of the stimulus package establishes the "Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research." This body, which would be made up of federal bureaucrats will "coordinate the conduct or support of comparative effectiveness and related health services research."

Sounds benign enough, but the man behind the Coordinating Council, Health and Human Services Secretary-designate (and tax cheat) Tom Daschle, was kind enough to explain the goal of this organization. It is to cut health care costs by preventing Americans from getting treatments that the government decides don't meet their standards for cost effectiveness. In his 2008 book on health care, he explained that such a council would, "lower overall spending by determining which medicines, treatments and procedures are most effective-and identifying those that do not justify their high price tags."

Once a panel of government experts decides what is and what is not cost-effective by their definition, the government will stop paying for treatments, medicines, therapies or devices that fall into the latter category. Initially, this will limit access to very expensive treatments for federal employees, veterans, the elderly, members of the military and their dependents and others who rely on the feds to pay for their health care.

Change - American Manhood

~ men's goals have become cloudy and obscure
a richly nuanced picture of the varied ways that men are reassessing their commitments to work and family life.
Changes in American Manhood
If men are no longer primary breadwinners, what is the basis of their claim to masculinity? What happens in their relationships with women and children? Kathleen Gerson examines the no man’s land that men increasingly find themselves in as women increasingly enter the work force and challenge traditional ideas of masculinity.

Although men still enjoy the lion's share of well-paying prestigious jobs, changes in the economy and labor force have changed their economic situations for the worse.

Men's work force participation has dropped to 80% while women's has risen to 60%.

The Fair Pay Act

Research published by the Council of Economic Advisors has estimated that between one quarter and one third of the wage gap (between men and women) cannot be explained by legitimate factors such as education or experience. Although some progress in closing the wage gap has been made in recent years, much of this has been due to the decline in men's wages rather than an increase in women's wages.

FY 2009 Congressional Justification

The mission of the Securities and Exchange Commission is to protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitate capital formation. The SEC's oversight responsibilities directly impact the financial well-being of a majority of American, as more than 50 percent of U.S. households own stocks either directly of through mutual funds.

The Commission seeks to detect problems in the securities markets, prevent and deter violations of federal securities laws, and alert investors to possible wrongdoing. When violations occur, the SEC aims to take prompt action to halt the misconduct, sanction wrongdoers effectively, and return funds to harmed investors.
**********

Harry Markopolos, a former securities industry executive and fraud investigator, brought his allegations to the SEC about improprieties in Madoff's business starting in 2000 after determining there was no way Madoff could have been making the consistent returns he claimed.

Markopolos and his investigators raised 29 specific red flags regarding Madoff's operations to SEC staff in Boston, New York and Washington.

While the SEC is incompetent, the securities industry's self-policing organization, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, is "very corrupt," Markopolos charged.

We, the People - R. I. P.

(RIP America)

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage." ....UNSOURCED

See: The Takeover of America
You are about to read a list of 45 goals that found their way down the halls of our great Capitol back in 1963. As you read this, you should be shocked by the events that have played themselves out.

[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

Americans Reaching Breaking Point?

An Emotional American
Are Americans Reaching Breaking Point?

"I'm just a guy who cares an awful lot about my country." - Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck -- when explaining how he now has the opportunity (with help from Fox News network) to follow-up on a promise made to a father of a daughter kidnapped in Mexico -- fought back pent-up emotions containing tears of concerns for the many complex dark-side issues facing America and Americans. This is only one.

His emotional display mirrows the feelings and concerns of many Americans. We care. Activate now in the "American War of INDEPENDENCE II". MEN win wars! It's time for the representatives of the people to stop their hugging and kissing with each other, and take care of America.

Bring them home.

Kings and Queens of America

All persons of consideration for election, appointment or assignment as officials to high profile public government positions (or any position of public trust) ... should be strongly advised that their closets be throughly cleaned out and or their "back doors" securely locked. And ... pay their taxes.

It goes without saying that they should be Pro-American, or go run for office in some other nation.

"Every man is equally entitled to protection by law;

privileges the humble members of society have

Anchor Babies Devour U.S.

Illegal Immigrants and Anchor Babies Threaten U.S. Sovereignty, Strain Financial Resources, and threaten unique culture.
How to infiltrate and takeover america

Have babies, lots of babies (anchor babies) on U.S. soil as they will automatically be registered as U.S. citizens, with all the legal rights and benifits of a U.S. citizen. The government (working citizens of the U.S.) will assist in the financing of their birth and provide for their welfare from the cradle to adulthood.

Keep the children close to your breast. Raise and teach them in your own ways, and you will scramble and confuse, divide and change, conquer and takeover a nation with your peoples and your ways.
**********

It's been a cornerstone of American law since shortly after the Civil War: Children born in the United States become citizens, even if their parents are here illegally.

Now some conservatives are taking aim at that birthright.

They call the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants "anchor babies" because at age 18 the children can apply to bring other family members here from abroad, and a growing group of House Republicans wants to change the policy. They hope to add a provision to the immigration bill that the House of Representatives will consider next week that would deny citizenship to those children.

"They see people are coming here simply for the purpose of having a child here and then, because they're the anchor, they can have all the family come in on that child's ticket. ... There are thousands upon thousands of people who are doing it," said Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., a leading opponent of illegal immigration.

Tancredo said citizens of other countries are not subject to U.S. jurisdiction, and he added that drafters of the 14th Amendment did not intend it to apply to children of illegal immigrants. SOURCE ...

Is it ... Your People, Our People, or WE- the People?

Feeding Frenzy for the Rich

Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and StickYou with the Bill)

“If you’re concerned about congressional earmarks, hedge fund tax breaks, subsidies to sports teams, K Street lobbyists, the state of our health-care system, to say nothing of the cavernous gap between rich and poor, you’ll read this fine book—as I did—with a growing sense of outrage.” — John C. Bogle, founder and former chairman, The Vanguard Group

... how government policies and spending have reached deep into the wallets of the many to benefit the top 1% of the wealthiest.

“An engaging look at how the superrich consistently— and outrageously—rely on public handouts while preaching about free markets and wasteful entitlement programs all the way to the bank.” — Mother Jones

The U.S. government is serving out a free lunch, but, alas, it's a feeding frenzy for those already fat on cash cows. As big businesses continue to reap the benefits of government subsidies--many unnecessary and unjustifiable--Americans are throwing away billions of tax dollars every year to make these companies richer.

Bailout Banks Hire Foreigners

AP Investigation: Banks sought foreign workers
Banks collecting billions of dollars in federal bailout money sought government permission to bring thousands of foreign workers to the U.S. for high-paying jobs, according to an Associated Press review of visa applications.

The dozen banks receiving the biggest rescue packages, totaling more than $150 billion, requested visas for more than 21,800 foreign workers over the past six years for positions that included senior vice presidents, corporate lawyers, junior investment analysts and human resources specialists. The average annual salary for those jobs was $90,721, nearly twice the median income for all American households.

The figures are significant because they show that the bailed-out banks, being kept afloat with U.S. taxpayer money, actively sought to hire foreign workers instead of American workers. As the economic collapse worsened last year — with huge numbers of bank employees laid off — the numbers of visas sought by the dozen banks in AP's analysis increased by nearly one-third, from 3,258 in fiscal 2007 to 4,163 in fiscal 2008.

During the last three months of 2008, the largest banks that received taxpayer loans announced more than 100,000 layoffs. The number of foreign workers included among those laid off is unknown.

Foreigners are attractive hires because companies have found ways to pay them less than American workers. SOURCE ...

Gangs of America

Out of control corporate spending, CEO greed and pompous self importance created this economic mess. For Citi, AIG and the rest of the Wall Street CEOs, it’s business as usual, while taking TARP funds and literally laughing all the way to the bank. All at the expense of the American taxpayer, who by the way, are scrapping to get by and praying not to be laid off. Comment SOURCE ...

Gangs of America describes the expansion of corporate legal empowerment onto the global stage through international agreements such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, which boosted the legal powers of corporations to the level of sovereign nations. The book pays special attention to recent events, including campaign finance reform, the financial scandals of 2002, and the growing movement to redefine the corporation and limit corporate power.
